Education level is probably one of the main determinants of importance certain value orientations. This work aims to identify the most obvious and clearly traced links between the value orientations of Russians and the level of education. The analyzed materials of statistical surveys strongly support the idea that different levels of education influence value attitudes; as for the thesis that higher levels of education contribute to the transition from materialistic to post-materialistic values, this idea also finds confirmation, but only partially, since in a number of cases it is impossible to draw confident conclusions due to the peculiarities of the formulation of the question. As a first approximation, it seems that in modern Russian society for people with a high level of education it is more correct to speak not about the transition to post-materialistic values, but about a combination of traditional and post-materialistic values.

The article considers the stable ideas of the significant part of the Moscow students when assessing personal qualities typical for the Russian youth. The study presented in the report of the Public Chamber of the Russian Federation in 2011 identified a high level of the youth’s criticism when assessing one’s generation and emphasizing its egoism and irresponsibility. In the surveys conducted in the Moscow University for Humanities in 2011-2019, a part of the same questionnaire was used to assess the qualities of the contemporary Russian youth, and the results were the same. In the ranking of such qualities in 2019, the first 10 positions were taken by laziness, selfishness, sociability, irresponsibility, aggressiveness, independence, indifference, optimism, naivety and cynicism, i.e. together with positive features there are qualities traditionally considered in the Russian society as unacceptable. The last 10 positions were taken by openness, kindness, pushfulness, initiative, greed, rationalism, responsibility, honesty, patriotism and conscientiousness. Thus, the highly appreciated by the society moral qualities are presented in the students’ estimates as not typical for the youth. The additional open questions clarifying the value orientations of students in terms of their estimates of such attitudes of people in the past, present and future showed that in older generations and one’s social circle the student youth appreciate the most the socially valued qualities and want their children in the future to have such. The ranking of such qualities starts with honesty, kindness, responsibility, purposefulness, openness, sociability, sincerity, responsiveness, punctuality and goodwill. The contradictions between the estimates of the youth qualities and the expected qualities of one’s social circle have been repeatedly confirmed at the empirical level. However, this is not a feature of the student youth but rather a result of the social anomie in the sphere of value orientations in the transition period. The authors believe that the transformation trend of students’ value orientations towards individualism is stable but not typical for the youth in general.

Background: The behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) seriously affect the quality of life of patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and their caregivers. Objective: We aimed to identify associations between demographic/genetic factors and clinical presentations of BPSD. Methods: In a cohort of 463 AD patients with BPSD, we retrospectively analyzed sex, education level, AD severity (assessed using the Clinical Dementia Rating and Mini-Mental Status Examination), and BPSD severity (assessed using the Neuropsychiatry Inventory, NPI). Severe BPSD was defined as NPI ≥10 for 3 consecutive years. Results: Among patients with severe BPSD (NPI ≥10), we observed more female patients (62.96%) and a lower level of education (6.03±4.77 years) as compared to those with mild BPSD (NPI <10) (female: 51.09%, p = 0.007; education years: 7.91±4.93, p < 0.001). Females had a lower level of education (5.72±4.50 years) and higher scores for depression/dysphoria (1.22±2.05) compared with males (education: 8.96±4.89 years, p < 0.001; depression/dysphoria: 0.78±1.42, p = 0.047). Patients with a high level of education (defined as ≥12 years) had higher scores for appetite/eating (0.90±2.02) than did those without (0.69±1.79; p = 0.001). Genetic analysis showed similar total and subscale NPI scores between patients with and without APOE4 and with and without the GRN rs5848 genotype. Conclusion: Our findings indicate potential contributions of sex and education to the presentation of BPSD. Further study is warranted to provide models for tailoring therapeutic programs to individual AD patients according to these factors.

This article shows that studying the views of future Russian lawyers on the projective future of society is a relevant development, since this particular socio-professional group does not only put forward certain demands in regards to projective subjective social wellbeing, but also possesses the lawmaking potential necessary for the transformation and normative engineering of Russian society. The article analyzes the results of the author’s own research, conducted in 2016 in 12 cities of Russia (based on All- Russian State University of Justice and its subsidiaries). According to the author, the results of research in the field reveal a relatively high level of subjective wellbeing registered among the respondents, with their core values being justice, freedom, upholding law and order, public initiative. In order to measure normative expectations, those surveyed were offered to characterize three models of a supposed society using an array of parameters: “the best society” (utopian), “a bad society” (dystopian) and “a good society” (one that’s attainable and suitable for life and personal growth). As a result, certain projective requirement indexes were obtained for implementing these models in a future society. It came as somewhat of a surprise that, in spite of the widespread belief that the value orientations of modern youth have a “consumer” nature to them, material wellbeing turned out to be far from the most significant parameter. The highest values were shown by indexes which correlated with such virtues as justice, equality and lawfulness, which speaks to their considerable influence on the respondents’ evaluation of their subjective wellbeing. The authors also noticed a fundamental difference when it comes to future Russian lawyers’ thoughts on the paths towards attaining justice. The indexes for a society constantly subject to reform and a conservative society were practically on the same level. This indirectly points to the existence of a deeply rooted divide when it comes to values, indicating that people are looking into the future with uncertainty, which is proven by a multitude of studies done by other authors.

AbstractCarpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a common cause of work disability. The association with occupational load and education level has not been established in general-population studies. The purpose of this study was to investigate the association of clinically relevant CTS with work and education. From the Healthcare Register of Skane region (population 1.2 million) in southern Sweden we identified all individuals, aged 17–57 years, with first-time physician-made CTS diagnosis during 2004–2008. For each case we randomly sampled 4 referents, without a CTS diagnosis, from the general population matched by sex, age, and residence. We retrieved data about work and education from the national database. The study comprised 5456 individuals (73% women) with CTS and 21,667 referents. We found a significant association between physician-diagnosed CTS and type of work and level of education in both women and men. Compared with white-collar workers, the odds ratio (OR) for CTS among blue-collar workers was 1.67 (95% CI 1.54–1.81) and compared with light work, OR in light-moderate work was 1.37 (1.26–1.50), moderate work 1.70 (1.51–1.91), and heavy manual labor 1.96 (1.75–2.20). Compared with low-level education, OR for CTS in intermediate level was 0.82 (0.76–0.89) and high-level 0.48 (0.44–0.53). In women and men there is significant association with a dose–response pattern between clinically relevant CTS and increasing manual work load and lower education level. These findings could be important in design and implementation of preventive measures.

Introduction: Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI) disease can develop fractures with or without trauma. Initial management of fracture cases depends on the patients' parents and it may affect the results. Various kinds of factors can influence parents' decision making in health issues, one of which is the level of education. Methods: This research was conducted by analyzing the results of the questionnaire for the parental education level. Patients that fulfilled the inclusion criteria were part of the study from January to March 2020. Results: The data showed that 38 (31%), 31 (26%), 29 (24%), and 23 (19%) patients were treated by bonesetters, hospitals, primary health care centers, and private clinics. There were 38 (31%) parents who took their children to bonesetters, mostly have intermediate education level. Mostly parents with high level of education bring their children treated in hospitals (49%). There was a significant correlation between their education level (P = 0.000) regarding decision making in the first fracture case. Conclusion: The parents' educational level of patients diagnosed with OI affects decision making in determining the first treatment facility for managing cases of fracture. Practice Implication : Parental education level plays an important role in making appropriate decisions for medical treatment

Recently, the new Green Deal policy initiative was presented by the European Union. The EU aims to achieve a sustainable future and be the first climate-neutral continent by 2050. It targets all of the continent’s industries, meaning aviation must contribute to these changes as well. By employing a systems engineering approach, this high-level task can be split into different levels to get from the vision to the relevant system or product itself. Part of this iterative process involves the aircraft requirements, which make the goals more achievable on the system level and allow validation of whether the designed systems fulfill these requirements. Within this work, the top-level aircraft requirements (TLARs) for a hybrid-electric regional aircraft for up to 50 passengers are presented. Apart from performance requirements, other requirements, like environmental ones, are also included. To check whether these requirements are fulfilled, different reference missions were defined which challenge various extremes within the requirements. Furthermore, figures of merit are established, providing a way of validating and comparing different aircraft designs. The modular structure of these aircraft designs ensures the possibility of evaluating different architectures and adapting these figures if necessary. Moreover, different criteria can be accounted for, or their calculation methods or weighting can be changed.
