The research identifies the relationship between satisfaction with the way of life and various socio-psychological factors. The study involved 1–5-year male cadets of a military university (N=255, average age = 20,2 years). To identify factors that influence cadets' satisfaction with their lifestyle, the authors used proprietary techniques, a questionnaire for diagnosing the level of social frustration by L. I. Wasserman modified by V. V. Boiko, and the methodology of the study of value orientations by M. Rokich. The study showed the dependence of the factors determining the cadets' satisfaction with the way of life on the year of study. For junior students, it was the military team factors and the place of the individual in the team. For graduates, the most significant factors were those that emphasized their belonging to the military community. The most significant predictors of lifestyle satisfaction were the characteristics of a subjective assessment of one’s status in a military team, a positive assessment of professional choice, and conditions of service and prospects after graduation.

The COVID-19 pandemic and confinement, as a measure to stop the contagion, have had a strong impact on the mental health of the population. Emotions such as uncertainty, fear of contracting illness and anguish have increased. But, also, positive experiences have emerged that reinforce interdependence and social support, the appreciation of affections and a greater connection and reflection on the way of life. The objective of this article is to delve into the experience of some couples who have been able to constructively face quarantine and who express a positive assessment of what this time of confinement has contributed to their relationship. Three dimensions are identified in which resources have emerged during this crisis: family reorganization and multiplicity of roles, the appreciation of support networks and the strengthening of intimacy in the couple.

Analysis of scientific literature, generalization of information about information competence of the individual gives grounds to define it as the orientation of the individual to ensure the effectiveness of life in the information society, which is an integral quality of personality, holistic, dynamic system of personal abilities that allow consciously and creatively define and carry out . Based on the analysis of the scientific literature, expert data and taking into account the idea of the component composition of information competence (N. Balovsyak, A. Khutorsky, I. Kisla, R. Pavlyuk, etc.), nineteen bipolar indicators of information competence of the individual are determined. It is established that the set of their typical characteristics reflect the level of manifestation of components in a particular person, which allows to determine the general level of information competence of the individual. Cluster analysis allowed to group indicators into the component composition of information competence of the individual, which includes motivation, direction of action, subjective, personal, group and business orientation, project-behavioral, emotional-volitional components, personality abilities, life values, communication, professionally important qualities , eco- and legal culture. Relevant components are grouped into blocks: motivational-motivational, cognitive-activity, personal-value, meaningful. These components are closely interconnected and together ensure that the individual performs its functions: motivational and directional; cognitive-perceptual; communicative; regulatory and developmental; operational orientation. They determine the trajectory of the path of formation of personality, taking into account the development of its qualities, professional self-determination, motivational sphere, motivations, awareness of the essence of life and so on. It is established that the presence of reflection presupposes the ability to analyze, realize one’s qualities, personal qualities, know oneself, correct one’s behavior and way of life (M. Dyachenko, L. Kandybovych, etc.). Given the results of the study of V. Romenets and A. Furman, we believe that reflection is a phenomenon of aftereffect, which expresses the essence of the action. A person’s ability to reflect combines the characteristics of behavior and his ability to control their actions, and in interpersonal relationships supports the morality of behavior. Using a system-structural approach that takes into account the complexity of the whole personality as a set of interdependent substructures (S. Maksymenko and others), personality attitudes, attitudes, value orientations, communicative properties (O. Vakulenko, etc.), a structural-functional model is proposed information competence of the individual.

The article examines the influence of different forms of the military identity of veterans on the degree of their social adaptation. We define “military identity” as a result of the social identity of a service(wo)man with the military due to the internalization of values and norms adopted in the military sphere. A “veteran” is a service(wo)man who served in the army, participated in combat operations, and was demobilized in connection with the end of the term of service or for health reasons, regardless of the types of military forces and military service. We have used a sociological method of measuring the stable, situational, and unformed types of veterans’ military identity based on the following criteria: social identification, the strength of connection with the army, biographical importance of military service, perception of the army as a family, recognition of the individual in the army, existential assessment of military service, the importance of military practices after demobilization, social contacts with former service(wo)men, the positive assessment of the military culture of obedience/discipline. We have studied the influence of the following factors – duration of staying in the combat zone, conscription age, motivation to join the army, marital status, and traumatic combat experience – on the formation of military identity. According to the quota sample, the results of the study “Military identity and social adaptation of Ukrainian veterans” are presented; 400 veterans (n = 400) were interviewed according to the quota sample. We found out that veterans with a stable military identity mainly had a low level of social adaptability to the civilian life; veterans with a situational form of military identity mostly had a medium level of social adaptability; veterans with an unformed type of military identity were the most adapted to the civilian life.

The aim: The article presents the theoretical substantiation of the value-motivational component of a healthy lifestyle, the diagnostic procedure, the results of quantitative and qualitative analysis of the real state of its formation in students of modern universities; the pedagogical tools of health-oriented, containing interactive and reflexively oriented forms and methods of educating a healthy lifestyle are presented; specific examples of their implementation are given. Materials and methods: A set of general scientific methods (analysis, synthesis, comparison, systematization, generalization) and diagnostic standardized methods (M. Rokich’s “Value orientations” method, R. Berezivska’s questionnaire “Attitude to health” (value-motivational scale), questionnaire “Motivational component of a healthy lifestyle” (N. Voloshko, V. Rybalka). Results: A healthy lifestyle is a way of life based on the value attitude to maintaining, improving and strengthening health through motivated activities aimed at improving living conditions, which ensures quality self-realization of the individual in all spheres of life. An essential component of the structure of a healthy lifestyle is the value-motivational component as a set of motives, needs, attitudes to maintain one’s own health and fostering a sense of responsibility for it. The pedagogical tools of health orientation are a set of interactive and reflexively oriented forms and methods of forming a healthy lifestyle, which are based on the partner subject-subject interaction of teacher and students, their dialogue, polylogy and cooperation. Conclusions:Theoretical understanding and the results of diagnostic research made it possible to determine the nature and structure of a healthy lifestyle, to determine the real state of formation of its value-motivational component and to develop pedagogical tools of health orientation.

Dependence on alcohol or other drugs is a depressing experience. The way of life of the individual who is dependent on alcohol is replete with incidents that are demoralising, waking daily with a hangover or with tremor and retching, coupled with amnesia for events of the night before, a sense of inability to face the day ahead and awareness of recriminations at work and at home. Little wonder that depressed mood is common in such circumstances. Similarly, the drug addict, when life is dominated by the daily problem of obtaining supplies of a substance that brings transient relief or pleasure but also experiences of an impoverished existence and low mood. Add to this the fact that the biological action of many commonly misused substances can induce depression then it is hardly surprising that depression is common in this population. There are also a smaller number who use alcohol or illicit drugs to cope with primary depression. Teasing out the interplay of affect and substance misuse is a challenge for the general psychiatrist and the addiction specialist.

Striving to emphasize the complex and dynamic relationships and mutual connection between the concepts of education and cultures, the aim of this work is to present the role of education in the process of cultural reproduction and the process of cultural production. Culture, with its meaning and values, pervades the educational process in all respects. Education is a process of reproduction, as well as a process of production and transformation of culture. The question analyzed in this paper is: where does education stand between cultural reproduction and cultural production? Cultural reproduction is a process that seeks to preserve a culture more or less as it is. The role of education in cultural reproduction is and can be considered at several levels, namely: at the level of collective culture, in culture and at the level of individual culture. As one of the most important intermediaries of culture between the individual and culture, according to many authors, the school stands out. By setting curricula that are mandatory and universal to a large extent, it allows its children to be exposed to a specific set of ideas, knowledge, beliefs, values, and attitudes. The dimensions of the curriculum, by whose analysis the role of the school in cultural reproduction can be followed, are: goals; educational materials and teaching methods. The hidden curriculum in education plays an important role in performing the function of cultural reproduction. The school successfully performs cultural reproduction, because the school itself, as well as culture, represents a certain life. The way of life in the school will be close to the way the culture, that the school belongs to, lives. On the other hand, in education there is the potential for the introduction of innovations and changes. This means that education also contributes to cultural production. In order to really promote cultural production, some innovations must be submitted to the school. Supporters of the socio-cultural approach offer numerous opportunities for organizing the educational process so that they are in the service of production. Some of the possibilities are: transforming the learning discourse, building a network of learners' literacy, and transforming assessment methods. It is necessary that education is based on interactions and dialogue with the active role of students, because only in this way will we get students used to thinking and acting productively.

AbstractUnderstanding differences in the way people think about wildlife across countries is important as many conservation challenges transcend jurisdictions. We explored differences in wildlife value orientations in seven countries: Australia, Canada, Germany, Japan, Malaysia, the Netherlands and Serbia. Standard scales assessed domination (prioritizing human well-being) and mutualism (striving for egalitarian relationships with wildlife). We used student samples (total n = 2176) for cross-cultural comparisons. Reliabilities of the wildlife value orientations scales were adequate in all countries. Relationships between demographics and wildlife value orientations were different across countries. Men were generally more oriented towards domination and less towards mutualism than women, except in Serbia, where it was the other way around. Estimated at the level of the individual (using ANOVA), wildlife value orientations varied across countries, with nationality explaining a larger portion of the variation in mutualism (21%) than domination (6%). Estimated at the level of countries (using multilevel modelling), effect sizes were comparable. Thought about wildlife has previously only been examined within single countries. This paper makes a new contribution to the conservation literature suggesting that wildlife value orientations vary by country, and are associated with demographic factors. For conservation practices, understanding national differences in the way people think about wildlife is crucial to understanding sources of conflict among practitioners. Such knowledge is also important to gain public support for conservation.

The entire world is changing at a very fast pace since the transition phase of postmodernism. Science has, through various inventions, acquired complete dominance over the individual today. The use of Yantra in every sphere of life has made man himself a Yantra. All these changes have changed the way of life of human beings. Due to which mental distortions have taken place inside the person and evils have occurred in the society. Therefore, music is the only medium which is capable of destroying the evils generated in society. सम्पूर्ण विष्व आज उत्तर आधुनिकता के संक्रमणकाल के दौर से बड़ी तेज रफ्तार से बदल रहा है। विज्ञान ने आज विभिन्न अविष्कारों के माध्यम से व्यक्ति पर अपना पूर्णतः आधिपत्य जमा लिया है। जीवन के प्रत्येक क्षेत्र में यंत्र के प्रयोग ने मानव को स्वयं एक यंत्र बना दिया है। इन समस्त परिवर्तनों ने मानव की जीवन पद्धति को बदल दिया है। जिस कारण व्यक्ति के अंदर मानसिक विकृतियों ने जन्म लिया है और समाज मे कुरीतियाँ उत्पन्न हुई। अतः संगीत ही एक ऐसा माध्यम है जो समाज में उत्पन्न कुरीतियों को जड़ से नष्ट करने में सक्षम है।

From the views and changes that have followed the dynamism of our society, undoubtedly, law and justice have played a crucial role as a very abstract term that has been consumed almost from the first beginnings of human society to our modern days. Beyond the events and circumstances that societies in the past have had and organized by defining and choosing the way of life, and often times the right has been personalized by a certain group of people, or by a military division that has given rights and has created justice, in certain interests and for personal and charismatic purposes it has been denied a certain part of society, and has often been deformed in scandalous ways by reflecting, on the fact that the giver of this right has often been pointed out to be the man, but this convulsion in no case has lasted long, and often this theory has remained unrealized, reflecting that right is something natural and that the individual gains at the moment of birth and enjoys it to death, this divergence and complexity of the way of perceiving the law has often resulted in wars and the acquisition of this vital right.  Through this paper we will draw philosophical and legal paradigms, analyzing from a retrospective way of the application of law and the applicability of justice, as an important mechanism of regulation of social relations.  Law and justice have a common path of development, one by regulating the way of life of the people, that is, by issuing norms and the other by giving justice to the relative complexity and cohesion of interpersonal relations.
