The question of social interaction of gifted children with their peers leads to a number of disputes among specialists in giftedness. It is known that such an interaction has a beneficial impact on the intellectual development and social growth, supports developing a various set of social skills and abilities. Generally, gifted children build good relations with their peers, especially in elementary school. At the same time, gifted children can feel neglected and not needed, have difficulties when establishing and monitoring the relations with their peers. Educational environment (homogeneous and heterogeneous) plays its role in educating gifted children and has both advantages and disadvantages. Understanding of the nature of social interaction helps developing necessary interventions with the purpose to make a gifted child adapted. The goal of the paper is the analysis of foreign research of social status, educational environment and social interaction of gifted children with their peers; representation of the results of empirical research of social status and social interaction of gifted children working and playing together which was carried out by the author in Holland with the help of sociometric and behavior tools (Instrument Observational Protocol for Interactions within the Classroom (OPINTEC-v.5). It is found out that in spite of the fact, one of eight participants was the most rejected among peers, five participants became popular among peers. When working and playing together, the gifted children chose gifted and non-gifted children for interaction and established close interactions with them. When working together, the gifted children interacted more with popular peers and peers of neutral social status, while when playing together – with peers of neutral social status. With reference to social interaction of gifted children with peers, only those patterns were found out that demonstrated social effectiveness and social correspondence

Space Lab 3 (SL-3) was flown on Shuttle Challenger providing an opportunity to measure the effect of spaceflight on rat testes. Cannon developed the idea that organisms react to unfavorable conditions with highly integrated metabolic activities. Selye summarized the manifestations of physiological response to nonspecific stress and he pointed out that atrophy of the gonads always occurred. Many papers have been published showing the effects of social interaction, crowding, peck order and confinement. Flickinger showed delayed testicular development in subordinate roosters influenced by group numbers, social rank and social status. Christian reported increasing population size in mice resulted in adrenal hypertrophy, inhibition of reproductive maturation and loss of reproductive function in adults. Sex organ weights also declined. Two male dogs were flown on Cosmos 110 for 22 days. Fedorova reported an increase of 30 to 70% atypical spermatozoa consisting of tail curling and/or the absence of a tail.

This paper explores the charitable work of Buddhist women who work as petty traders in Hồ Chí Minh City. By focusing on the social interaction between givers and recipients, it examines the traders’ class identity, their perception of social stratification, and their relationship with the state. Charitable work reveals the petty traders’ negotiations with the state and with other social groups to define their moral and social status in Vietnam’s society. These negotiations contribute to their self-identification as a moral social class and to their perception of trade as ethical labor.

The construction industry, traditionally considered quite conservative, is now going through a marked change. With competition intensifying, companies have begun to gradually adopt various digital technologies to reduce construction costs, such as the wireless concrete monitoring sensors, which implement a temperature-strength monitoring method for concrete. Each device has its technological features, which are considered in the development of the concepts. Enclosure design is the most important stage of product development. An enclosure made in-house has many advantages and disadvantages. The most important part of the design of an electronic device enclosure is the preliminary research stage. This article presents features of wireless monitoring sensor enclosure design. A data acquisition station (DAS), also referred to in the network topology as a “gateway”, will be used to collect data from the wireless monitoring sensor over the selected protocol. The server application was created based on HTML, PHP, CSS, JavaScript. Testing of the wireless monitoring sensor, SDS, and the server application working together showed full functionality. A study is also given on the determination of concrete strength using the developed sensor according to the ASTM method and using the IPS MG 4.0 by GOST.

The article presents research data on the attitude of gifted children aged 9-10 years to different ages, their ideas about the future, setting short-and long-term goals. There is a great creative potential of giftedness, but how much it will be realized when reaching maturity depends not only on cognitive sphere, but also on the characteristics of the personality. The psychological literature contains contradictory information about the personal characteristics of gifted children; there is very little data on such aspect of personal development as orientation to the future, which determines the relevance and novelty of the study. The study involved 96 children with IQ≥115, enrolled in grades 3 and 4 of the gymnasium for gifted children, and 104 children enrolled in grades 3 and 4 of the secondary school under the traditional program (Moscow). We used the modified method of B. Zazzo “Golden age”, the projective method “Unfinished sentences” and the method of M.V. Matyukhina, which allows us to determine educational motivation in primary school age. It is shown that the majority of primary school children prefer youth as the age period of maximum opportunities. Gifted children are less likely than their peers with normative intellectual development to set short-range goals of good and excellent studies, self-improvement in activities that require physical effort, and more goals related to filling the lack of emotional support. The area of long-range goals related to youth is wider for younger students. Gifted children have a more pronounced orientation to high material security and freedom in its various manifestations, to a lesser extent – to the traditional construction of life (work, family, children).

Russia inherited the Soviet system of science and education with its advantages and disadvantages from the Soviet Unio n period. In recent years it has experienced goals diversification as well as the content of school biological education changes. Primary school aimed propaedeutic of biological knowledge; secondary school aimed the basics of biological sciences development; secondary school at the basic level aimed the culture of knowledge of wildlife, natural-shaped and careful attitude development. The goal of the profile school is to generalize, deepen and expand biological knowledge. Moreover it is important to develop research skills and influence on the process of students proorientation in the world of biological professions. The content of biological education focuses on the problems of physical and mental health, healthy lifestyles and ecological literacy development. The authors notice that the construction and structure of the school biology course has changed. The concentric construction of the object makes it complete. A graduate of the basic secondary school receives a relatively complete biological education, which is necessary for his life and further education for professional self-determination. The biology course includes three sections: Living organisms, Human and his health and General biological regularities. The authors mention that secondary school children have Biology classes one hour less in comparison with the Soviet Unio n period. Both system-activity and student-centered approaches are the key approaches to teaching biology. They aim the subject results and universal learning activities development (personal, regulatory, communicative and cognitive). Moreover that is important to speak about the key competencies, education and socialization of students, the organization of their extracurricular activities, inclusive education and work with gifted children.

This study examined gifted students' perceptions and attitudes related to the “gifted” label and educational opportunities available to them. A questionnaire was administered to 305 students, ages 9–17, enrolled in a summer program for gifted children, Factor analysis of their responses yielded four factors: Acceptance of the Gifted Label, Perception of Ability as Incremental, Preference for Challenging Educational Opportunities, and Perceived Social Links to “Nongifted” Peers. A major finding was that gifted students hold a predominantly incremental view of their abilities. Results are discussed in terms of implications for students' academic and personal-social growth as well as a talent orientation for gifted education.

Biological entities (ranging from bacteria to humans) can engage in many and varied types of social interaction, from altruistic cooperation to open conflict. A paradigmatic case of social interaction is cooperative problem solving (CPS), where a group of autonomous entities work together to achieve a common goal. For example, we might find a group of people working together to move a heavy object, play a symphony, choose a business strategy, or write a joint paper. CPS has been studied by researchers from a variety of areas such as distributed A. I., soft computing, economics, philosophy, organization science, and the social and natural sciences among others.
