AbstractMost studies dealing with individual pattern in acoustic signals are based on recordings made within a few hours or a few days. However, in long-lived animals, individual signatures are likely to be involved in social contact and pairing over several years. Variability of calls and more particularly of individual specific pattern over years has been poorly investigated. This study examines calls produced by a nocturnal long-lived raptor, eagle owls (Bubo bubo) in order (1) to determine which call structures are individually specific and (2) to examine variability of these individual structures over 2 years. A computerised sound analysis and subsequent data were submitted to univariate and multivariate statistics to determine individual specific cues of the call. A first analysis conducted on 116 calls emitted by 9 wild males recorded on a short time period enables to identify each emitter without any mistake. Analysis conducted on 70 calls emitted by 5 captive birds recorded during two different years emphasised a weak variation of all call parameters. Discriminant analysis correctly classified 100% of the individual eagle owls and thus, it is possible to reliably assign a call to the individual caller based on the acoustic properties of the vocalisation. We therefore conclude that territorial calls emitted by eagle owls may constitute an individual pattern over several years. The possible biological role of individual signatures and their use for monitoring population purpose are discussed.

AbstractChildren and adolescents experience rapid changes due to development and growth processes, thereby necessitating adaptation and flexibility. In addition, young people also often face environmental crises or traumas, human-made catastrophes, or individual (chronic illness) or family (parent divorce, death of a loved one) crises. In the past, to facilitate young people’s adaptation to change, major aims of parents, teachers, and therapists focused on protecting children and adolescents from harm and helping them grow up in a secure environment. Over time, modern life and the influence of the positive psychology orientation have led to a shift in those aims, which now focus more on helping young people feel happy, flourish, and use their own strengths. A key element in making this process of adaptation to change successful is resilience. This chapter deals with the effects of changes, crises, and traumas on children and adolescents, while focusing on the importance of resilience at the individual, family, and environmental levels. This approach directs adaptation to change efforts towards the present rather than towards the past, thereby meeting the important need of treating children and adolescents who have experienced crisis and trauma by imparting them with skills for better coping today in their major natural environments.

AbstrakJiwa wirausaha tidak dapat diperoleh secara instan dan dalam waktu yang singkat. Modal utama menjadi wirausaha yang sukses adalah motivasi yang kuat dari dalam diri individu disamping keberanian dalam mengambil resiko, ketekunan dan keuletan dalam menjalankan usahanya sehingga menjadikan entrepreneur yang tangguh dan tidak mudah putus asa. Hal tersebut akan terwujud apabila jiwa entrepreneur dapat dipupuk sejak usia dini. Tentunya di sini peran keluarga sangat besar karena keluarga merupakan pendidik yang pertama dan utama bagi anak. Usia dini merupakan masa yang sangat penting dalam pembentukan pola bagi kehidupan anak di masa yang akan datang. Pada masa inilah peran orangtua sangat diperlukan dalam membentuk pola kehidupan mereka yaitu dengan cara menanamkan nilai-nilai moral agama, memotivasi untuk rajin belajar sehingga harapannya nanti ketika sudah dewasa dapat menjadi orang yang sukses, serta mendidik anak dengan jiwa berwirausaha sehingga ketika dewasa nanti mereka akan menyadari pentingnya penanaman moral agama, kepribadian, dan tidak bergantung pada orangtua dari segi finansial. Kesuksesan tersebut tentunya dapat ditentukan oleh pendidikan, pengalaman, latihan-latihan yang diperoleh sejak dini. Salah satu cara untuk menstimulasi tumbuhnya jiwa wirausaha anak sejak dini adalah melalui bermain dan pembiasaan. Pembiasaan anak dimulai dari bangun tidur sampai anak beraktivitas kembali merupakan metode yang tepat dan harus dilakukankan setiap hari sehingga anak-anak belajar bertanggung jawab dengan apapun yang dilakukannya. Untuk itu, peran ayah sebagai kepala keluarga harus dapat mendukung peran ibu yang tugas utamanya mengasuh dan mendidik anak agar jiwa wirausaha dapat dipupuk sejak usia dini. Keluarga berperan sangat besar dalam mengelola aktivitas anak sehari-hari. Tentunya di sini yang dapat mengkondisikan anak adalah orangtua. Jiwa wirausaha dapat dipupuk sejak dini dengan melibatkan kerjasama kedua orangtua baik peran ayah maupun ibu. AbstractEntrepreneurial spirit can not be obtained instantly and in a short time. The main capital became a successful entrepreneur is a strong motivation from within the individual in addition to courage in taking risks, perseverance and tenacity in running their business so as to make entrepreneurs are resilient and not easily discouraged. It will be realized if the entrepreneurial spirit can be nurtured from an early age. Of course, here the role of a very large family because the family is the first and primary educators for children. Early childhood is a crucial time in the formation of the pattern of life for children in the future. At this time the role of parents is indispensable in shaping their lives is by instilling moral values of religion, motivated to study hard so that his hopes later when fully grown can be successful, as well as to educate children with mental entrepreneurship so that as adults they will be aware of the importance of religious moral cultivation, personality, and not rely on parents financially. That success would be determined by education, experience, exercises derived from the outset. One way to stimulate the growth of an entrepreneurial spirit children early is through play and habituation. Habituation child starts from waking up to the child move back an appropriate method and should be underway every day so that children learn responsibility for whatever he does. To that end, the role of the father as the head of the family should be able to support the role of mothers whose primary job caring for and educating children to the entrepreneurial spirit can be nurtured from an early age. The family is very great role in managing the daily activities of children. Surely here to condition the child is the parent. Entrepreneurial spirit can be nurtured from an early age with both parents involved cooperation both father and mother

Academic achievement in immigrant children and adolescents is an indicator of current and future adaptive success. Since the future of immigrant youths is inextricably linked to that of the receiving society, the success of their trajectory through school becomes a high stakes issue both for the individual and society. The present article focuses on school success in immigrant children and adolescents, and the role of school engagement in accounting for individual and group differences in academic achievement from the perspective of a multilevel integrative model of immigrant youths’ adaptation ( Motti-Stefanidi, Berry, Chryssochoou, Sam, & Phinney, 2012 ). Drawing on this conceptual framework, school success is examined in developmental and acculturative context, taking into account multiple levels of analysis. Findings suggest that for both immigrant and nonimmigrant youths the relationship between school engagement and school success is bidirectional, each influencing over time the other. Evidence regarding potential moderating and mediating roles of school engagement for the academic success of immigrant youths also is evaluated.

Maintenance of the individual patterns of gene expression in different cell types is required for the differentiation and development of multicellular organisms. Expression of many genes is controlled by Polycomb (PcG) and Trithorax (TrxG) group proteins that act through association with chromatin. PcG/TrxG are assembled on the DNA sequences termed PREs (Polycomb Response Elements), the activity of which can be modulated and switched from repression to activation. In this study, we analyzed the influence of transcriptional read-through on PRE activity switch mediated by the yeast activator GAL4. We show that a transcription terminator inserted between the promoter and PRE doesnt prevent switching of PRE activity from repression to activation. We demonstrate that, independently of PRE orientation, high levels of transcription fail to dislodge PcG/TrxG proteins from PRE in the absence of a terminator. Thus, transcription is not the main factor required for PRE activity switch.

The purpose and tasks of the work are to analyze the contemporary Ukrainian mass culture in terms of its value and humanistic components, as well as the importance of cultural studies and Ukrainian studies in educational disciplines for the formation of a holistic worldview of modern youth.Analysis of research and publications. Scientists repeatedly turned to the problems of the role of spirituality in the formation of society and its culture. This problem is highlighted in the publications by O. Losev, V. Lytvyn, D. Likhachev, S. Avierintsev, M. Zakovych, I. Stepanenko and E. Kostyshyn.Experts see the main negative impact of mass culture on the quality approach, which determines mass culture through the market, because mass culture, from our point of view, is everything that is sold and used in mass demand.One of the most interesting studies on this issue was the work by the representatives of Frankfurt School M. Horkheimer and T. Adorno «Dialectics of Enlightenment» (1947), devoted to a detailed analysis of mass culture. Propaganda at all socio-cultural levels in the form is similar in both totalitarian and democratic countries. It is connected, according to the authors, with the direction of European enlightenment. The tendency to unify people is a manifestation of the influence of mass culture, from cinema to pop. Mass culture is a phenomenon whose existence is associated with commerce (accumulation in any form – this is the main feature of education), in general, the fact that it exists in this form is related to the direction of the history of civilization.Modern mass culture, with its externally attractive and easily assimilated ideas and symbols, appealing to the trends of modern fashion, becomes a standard of prestigious consumption, does not require intense reflection, allows you to relax, distract, not teach, but entertains, preaches hedonism as the main spiritual value. And as a consequence, there are socio-cultural risks: an active rejection of other people, which leads to the formation of indifference; cruelty as a character trait; increase of violent and mercenary crime; increase in the number of alcohol and drug addicts; anti-patriotism; indifference to the values of the family and as a result of social orphanhood and prostitution.Conclusions, perspectives of research. Thus, we can conclude that modern Ukrainian education is predominantly formed by the values of mass culture. Namely, according to the «Dialectic» by Horkheimer and Adorno, «semi-enlightenment becomes an objective spirit» of our modern society.It is concluded that only high-quality education can create the opposite of the onset of mass culture and the destruction of spirituality in our society. It is proved that only by realizing the importance of cultivating disciplines in the educational process and the spiritual upbringing of the nation, through educational reforms, humanitarian knowledge will gradually return to student audiences.Formation of youth occurs under the influence of social environment, culture, education and self-education. The optimal combination of these factors determines both the process of socialization itself and how successful it will be. In this context, one can see the leading role of education and upbringing. It turns out that the main task of modern education is to spread its influence on the development of spiritual culture of the individual, which eventually becomes a solid foundation for the formation of the individual. Such a subject requires both philosophical and humanitarian approaches in further integrated interdisciplinary research, since the availability of such research will provide the theoretical foundation for truly modern educational and personal development.

The urgency of the researched problem is connected with the growing role of mass media in modern conditions leads to change of values and transformation of identity of the person. The active growth of the role of the media, their influence on the formation and development of personality leads to the concept of “media socialization” and immutation in the media. The aim of the study is to outline the possibilities of the process of media socialization in the context of immutation in the media. The methods of our research are: analysis of pedagogical, psychological, literature, synthesis, comparison, generalization. The article analyzes the views of domestic and foreign scientists on the problem of immutation in the media and the transformation of the information space. In the context of the mass nature of the immutation of society, the concept of “media socialization” becomes relevant, which is the basis for reducing the negative impact of the media on the individual.The author identifies the lack of a thorough study of the concept of “media socialization” in modern scientific thought. Thus, media socialization is associated with the transformation of traditional means of socialization, and is to assimilate and reproduce the social experience of mankind with the help of new media.The article analyzes the essence of the concepts “media space”, “mass media” and “immutation”. The influence of mass media on the formation and development of the modern personality is described in detail.The study concluded that it is necessary to form a media culture of the individual, to establish safe and effective interaction of young people with the modern media system, the formation of media awareness, media literacy and media competence in accordance with age and individual characteristics for successful media socialization. The role of state bodies in solving the problem of media socialization of the individual was also determined. It is determined that the process of formation of media culture in youth should take place at the level of traditional institutions of socialization of the individual.The author sees the prospect of further research in a detailed analysis and study of the potential of educational institutions as an institution and a means of counteracting the mass nature of the immutation of society.Key words: immutation, media socialization, mass media, media space, information.

Existing research has consistently shown that perceptions of the potential economic consequences of Scottish independence are vital to levels of support for constitutional change. This paper attempts to investigate the mechanism by which expectations of the economic consequences of independence are formed. A hypothesised causal micro-level mechanism is tested that relates constitutional preferences to the existing skill investments of the individual. Evidence is presented that larger skill investments are associated with a greater likelihood of perceiving economic threats from independence. Additionally, greater perceived threat results in lower support for independence. The impact of uncertainty on both positive and negative economic expectations is also examined. While uncertainty has little effect on negative expectations, it significantly reduces the likelihood of those with positive expectations supporting independence. Overall, it appears that a general economy-wide threat is most significant, and it is conjectured that this stems a lack of information on macroeconomic governance credentials.

The paper examines and compares how the major sociological theories treat axiological issues. Value-driven topics are analysed in view of their relevance to society in times of crisis, when both societal life and the very structure of society undergo dramatic change. Nowadays, social scientists around the world are also witnessing such a change due to the emergence of alternative schools of sociological thought (non-classical, interpretive, postmodern, etc.) and, subsequently, the necessity to revise the paradigms that have been existed in sociology so far. Since the above-mentioned approaches are often used to address value-related issues, building a solid theoretical framework for these studies takes on considerable significance. Furthermore, the paradigm revision has been prompted by technological advances changing all areas of people’s lives, especially social interactions. The global human community, integral in nature, is being formed, and production of human values now matters more than production of things; hence the “expansion” of value-focused perspectives in contemporary sociology. The authors give special attention to collectivities which are higher-order units of the social system. These units are described as well-organised action systems where each individual performs his/her specific role. Just as the role of an individual is distinct from that of the collectivity (because the individual and the collectivity are different as units), so too a distinction is drawn between the value and the norm — because they represent different levels of social relationships. Values are the main connecting element between the society’s cultural system and the social sphere while norms, for the most part, belong to the social system. Values serve primarily to maintain the pattern according to which the society is functioning at a given time; norms are essential to social integration. Apart from being the means of regulating social processes and relationships, norms embody the “principles” that can be applied beyond a particular social system. The authors underline that it is important for Ukrainian sociology to keep abreast of the latest developments in the field of axiology and make good use of those ideas because this is a prerequisite for its successful integration into the global sociological community.
