The current historical period of human history is characterized by hard challenges caused by the global COVID-19 pandemic, which inevitably leads to transformations in human consciousness and value-and-meaning sphere. Studies of this aspect are becoming increasingly topical. The article studies the value-and-meaning sphere of full-time students in the context of distance learning and forced isolation. The authors compare the results of two data slices made in 2018–2019 and 2020. The research involved 701 students aged 18–24. The first stage of the research in 2018–2019 academic year involved 295 young people (102 males and 193 females). The second stage was in May 2020 during the lockdown the number of respondents was 406 young people (85 males and 321 females). The authors of the article used E.B. Fantalova’s research conception of the correlation of «value» and «affordability» in various life spheres. The results show a significant difference between students’ pre- and post-pandemic value benchmarks. During the pandemic, we see a pronounced intra-personal conflict between a value and affordability in students’ meaningful life spheres. This gap between a need for achieving internally important values and affordability of this achievement is more significant in relation to an active life style, health, an interesting job, beauty of the nature, arts and freedom. Self-isolation has worsened internal conflicts and the feeling of psychological welfare has faded. The shift in students’ value-and-meaning priorities in the context of the pandemic requires working out new strategies of personal and vocational self-realization, and searching for ways of saving health optimal psychological resources.

Purpose of the study: The purpose of the article is to study the characteristics of the stigmatization process of modern youth in the Russian Far East. Special attention is paid to living conditions in the Russian Far East, noting that the majority of the population in the Far Eastern region and, above all, young people, are in a situation of social inequality and marginality in relation to the rest of Russians. Many young people associate their life strategies with leaving the territory of the Far East of Russia. Methodology: At the first stage of the study, the method of participant observation was used, which provided primary information about the impact of stigma on the self-identification of young people. At the empirical level of research, such sociological methods as document analysis, sociological surveys in the form of questioning and interviewing were applied. A sociological survey was conducted as a pilot study of the problems of stigmatization among high school and university students of the cities of Khabarovsk and Komsomolsk-on-Amur. Main findings of this article: Stigma is manifested in its own way in different times and in different communities, it is historically and socioculturally specific. Territorial stigma possesses signs of ambivalence, on the one hand, it has a negative effect on the socialization and self-identification process of young people in the Russian Far East, but on the other hand, it can act as an incentive for young people to make an active and conscious choice of their life strategy. Applications of this study: The findings can be used in the implementation of youth policy in the Far Eastern Federal District by state and local authorities in order to prevent the outflow of young people from the region. The main results of the study can be useful for use in the educational process in such disciplines as sociology, political science, regional studies, as well as for the further study of the problems of social stigmatization. Novelty/Originality of this study: The novelty and significance of the study lie in the fact that in Russian sociology practically no attention is paid to the problems of territorial stigmatization. The theoretical conclusions were obtained on the basis of the original sociological research conducted by the authors of the article in the cities of the Far Eastern region of Russia. The results provided new knowledge of both territorial stigmatization and social stigmatization in general. The novelty of the conducted study lies in the actualization of the problem of social stigmatization of Russian youth living in the Far Eastern region remote from the center of Russia.

Abstract In July 2019, the village of Nizhniy Bestyakh in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutiya), the Russian Far East, was finally able to celebrate the opening of an eagerly awaited railroad passenger connection. Through analysis of rich ethnographic data, this article explores the “state of uncertainty” caused by repeated delays in construction of the railroad prior to this and focuses on the effect of these delays on students of a local transportation college. This college prepares young people for railroad jobs and careers, promising a steady income and a place in the Republic's wider modernization project. The research also reveals how the state of uncertainty led to unforeseen consequences, such as the seeding of doubt among students about their desire to be a part of the Republic's industrialization drive.

In Russian history and culture, various kinds of protests and uprisings have always played an important role. One can recall periodical civilian riots and uprisings in the Russian Empire; the revolution of 1917 that changed the world history. Political processes in a country have often been a pendulum swinging between extremes such as passive loyalty and riot. In recent years, a relative stability of society and power has been achieved, the foundations of which are sometimes referred to as a social contract. However, the beginning of protest in Russian society is increasingly shows itself. The publication presents materials of semantic reconstruction of ideas about various forms of social protest among Russian youth. The study made it possible to reconstruct structural and informatory characteristics of young people's ideas about five significant forms of collective protest: petition, rally, strike, riot and uprising. Comparative analysis shows that the closest form of protest to young people is such a form of protest as a rally, such a form as a petition is also positively assessed. Young people don’t associate radical forms of protest, such as riot and uprising, with values and goals that are meaningful to them.

The aim of this article is to highlight research among young people living in and around Krakow regarding their axiology. The research was analyzed taking into account publicly available COBS representative survey data, as well as research by another author who carried out a similar project in 2016 in Wroclaw. Taking into account the nationwide (representative) research regarding axiology in the plague period, this article notes some discrepancies in terms of values, as the respondents value faith the least, they attach increasingly less importance to external appearance as well as money, at the same time they value tolerance, acceptance, love, friendship and only family the most. Thus, one can observe a significant difference in the understanding or determination of life strategies of the younger generation in relation to the general population of Polish women and men, for whom family and faith are of great significance. Knowledge as a value is more highly valued by respondents than family, friends giving way to health. Honesty and freedom were rated the highest. It can be concluded that for the surveyed people affiliate values are important (love, friendship, tolerance, freedom), with a slightly smaller orientation to values building the sense of stability and success in life (money, appearance), and the least orientation to autotelic values, i.e. faith. Key words: values, axiology, value system, youth.

The current research features the relevance of the psychological portrait as a factor of influence on the Barnum effect. The article contains some definitions of the phenomenon in question, as well as some other relevant concepts. It offers a brief review of the literature on the matter. The subjects of the research were full-time students of the Far East Federal University and the Admiral Nevelskoy Maritime State University, who were offered to relate a trivial personal description to their self-concept. The study was carried out in accordance with the standard procedure used in empirical studies of the Barnum effect. The processing of the obtained data was carried out with the help of the Pearson statistical criterion χ2 . Based on the results of the study, a statistically significant difference in the assessment of the accuracy of the trivial personal description was found. The difference depends on the type of relevance, which clarifies the current understanding of the Barnum effect. The conclusion features some further ways of investigating the Barnum effect and using the obtained data.

The aim: To determine the differences in the ability of young people with low and high economic statuses towards emotional self-regulation, and characterize their frame of mind by analyzing functional and dysfunctional emotions in healthy and unhealthy states. Materials and methods: Theoretical – analysis, generalization, interpretation of the collected data; a set of empirical methods — “Attitude to health” by Berezovskaya, the scale “Quality of life” in the adaptation by Vodopyanova, self-assessment income scale and validated questionnaire “Subjective economic well-being” by Khashchenko. The author has applied Pearson’s chi-squared test, Student’s t-test, and Kruskal-Wallis test. Results: The affective component of health manifests in the predominance of happiness (t=0.3, p≤0.01) and peace (t=1.7, p≤0.1) as components of a positive frame of mind among young people with high economic status. Such emotions such as fear (t=2.1, p≤0.03), anxiety (t=2, p≤0.04) and irritability (t=1.8, at p≤0.07) are more common among young people with low economic status. Young people who have high economic status show stronger ability to emotional self-regulation in comparison to the ones with low economic status (χ² = 11.9, p≤0.001). Conclusions: In this research, we have found a statistically significant difference in the ability towards emotional self-regulation between young people with low and high economic status: the latter group is able to control dysfunctional emotions such as anger and resentment more when communicating with others; they are more likely to find internal psychological resources. When the health deteriorates, the young people with high economic status are prone to show independence, and manage their own time and life, which is a sign of stable mental health.

The term “window” in architecture usually stands for an opening in a wall or roof for penetration of natural light, sunrays and fresh air in premises. Recently, the requirement of contact with environment is added to this condition. It is especially relevant for residential buildings where rooms are considered residential if they have windows. The energy consumption of a building depends on sizes, form and location of windows. In winter, windows cause huge heat losses, in summer, on the other hand, large heat enters a building via the windows and is required to be removed by means of air conditioning. Moreover, windows are used for penetration of natural light in premises, which assists in saving of large amounts of power for artificial illumination. This article discusses partial solving the problem of the energy efficiency of residential buildings by determining the most efficient area of windows in terms of energy spending for compensation of heat losses via windows in winter, elimination of heat penetration through them in summer and energy losses for artificial lighting throughout the year. The analysis of the results of calculation of power consumption for residential premises in conditions of monsoon climate of the Russian Far East and Northern areas of China (PRC) is provided.
