Orenburg State University is presented as an environment of multilevel multidimensional interaction of various subjects. The dynamics of value interaction between students and teachers is revealed. In the conditions of modern social and digital transformations, the nature of joint activity is changing from formal-reproductive to value-creative. It is pointed out that the dominant instrumental values of students are shifting due to the information and technological features of distance educational technologies. Youth interactions and socio-cultural practices are integrated into the comprehensive program for the development of the OSU socio-cultural environment on the basis of various project activities. The implementation of the program is characterized by receiving grant support for student initiatives. International aspects of university interaction are represented by the development of forms of scientific and educational export to universities of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

The Latvian language as a foreign language (LATS) is learned both in Latvia and abroad. It can be done in higher education institutions, as well as in different courses and self-directed learning. Outside Latvia, there are many countries and higher education institutions where it is possible to acquire LATS. In some higher education institutions, the Latvian language has been taught since the beginning of the 20th century. The oldest LATS teaching traditions are in North America, Germany, Sweden, Lithuania and Australia. In some universities, such as Stockholm University, Masaryk University, Saint Petersburg State University, etc., academically strong study programs in Baltic Studies were established. Over time, study programs have been closed for various reasons, at most leaving the Latvian language as an optional course. At some universities, the Latvian language course has been discontinued. Although in some higher education institutions outside Latvia LATS could be acquired starting from the beginning of the 20th century, the most significant interest in the Latvian language was after the restoration of independence of the Republic of Latvia. Then many higher education institutions in Europe established Latvian language and culture study programs. This interest was related to the geopolitical situation. People tried to get to know the post-Soviet countries through the language. When Latvia joined the European Union, interest in the Latvian language decreased in Europe. Nowadays, interest in the Latvian language has increased in Asia, especially in China. In Asia, it is possible to acquire the Latvian language in China and Japan. There are established different Latvian language bachelor programs in universities of China while in Japan the Latvian language is taught for somebody interested in Latvian culture and traditions more than in the Latvian language.

The article deals with the development of science in higher educational institutions of Bashkiria in the 1960- 1980s, also the problem of the growth of the number of scientific and scientific-pedagogical personnel. The paper shows the dynamics of creating of research sections (departments), research industrial branch and problem laboratories, research production units in the universities of the republic. Thus, the first research laboratory in the higher educational institutions of the republic appeared in 1960, and the first research sections (departments) in 1963. The paper shows that in institutional terms, research activities were particularly intensively developed in the Ufa Oil and Aviation Institutes, the Bashkir State University. For some time, from 1963 to 1967, the former research institutes of the Bashkir branch of the USSR Academy of Sciences were part of the BSU; namely the Institute of Organic Chemistry and the Institute of Biology. However, the most rapid emergence of research laboratories in most universities of the republic dates back only to the 1980s, when they were established in the Bashkir State University, Medical and Agricultural Institutes. The article describes peculiarities of the formation of scientific trends and schools in various higher education institutions of the region. Thus, in the Bashkir Agricultural Institute, scientific research was closely related to agricultural production, in the Medical Institute - with medical and preventive practice in the republic. The Ufa Aviation and Petroleum Institutes, partly the University, served the production interests of large industrial enterprises. The article reveals that during the period under review, there occurred a certain integration of college science with academic and branch science, production, also increase the volume of contractual self accounting work took place The problem publication the results of scientific research remained acute during the study period. The issue of the implementing of the results of scientific activity in to production is touched upon. A number of difficulties in the development of science in higher educational institutions of the republic are identified in the article: the weakness of the experimental and production base, its inefficient use, the increase in the time of implementation of developments in to production, the low level of cooperation and coordination of scientific activities.

Daylily (Hemerocallis) is a perennial herbaceous plant widely used in landscape gardening. Daylilies are prized for their long term flowering mainly in late summer and low maintenance cultivation. According to flower spike height, the varieties are divided into runt, medium-growing and tall. The article contains the results of the study of 21 medium-growing daylily varieties’ terms of flowering in the botanic garden of the Volga region State University of Technology (Yoshkar-Ola, the Republic of Mari El). The research was conducted in 2015 - 2017. The calendar dates were converted into a continuous series. All varieties were classified as early, medium or late according to the terms of the beginning and the end of flowering and its duration. During three years of research, the earliest beginning of the phenological phase was registered in 2016, and the latest one  - in 2017. The early beginning and ending of flowering were typical for the varieties “Dr Regel” and “Royal Sovereign”. The late beginning of flowering was registered for the “Country Club” variety, and the late ending - for “Sandalwood”. Other varieties were classified as medium-term. The varieties “Royal Sovereign”, “Tejas”, and “Sugar Candy” are characterized by a short flowering period, while “Sandalwood” and “Derby Bound” - with a long one. It was established that the late-flowering varieties are characterized with a longer flowering period.

Aim. To study the features of the morphofunctional development of the Kazakh nationals of the first year of the M. Kozybaev North Kazakhstan State University arrived for training from the northern and southern regions of Kazakhstan with the goal of developing preventive measures to reduce the adaptive stress to university education. Material and methods. The study involved 400 first-year students 17-18 years old, of both genders, studying at different faculties of the M. Kozybaev North Kazakhstan State University (200 girls and 200 boys) who arrived from the northern and southern regions of the republic. Standard methods of determining anthropometric and functional indices, estimating the adaptive potential and the level of physical health were used. The resulting material is processed by the methods of ANOVA statistical methods. Results. Indices of physical development (length, body weight, chest circumference, Quetelet, Pinje and stenius indices) were shown to be within the age-gender norms, but a comparative assessment of physical health of students showed significant differences in the anthropometric and physiological state depending on the previous area of residence. Thus, the length of growth in northerners was higher than that of southerners. The indices of body weight, chest circumference, and the Quetelet index are higher in representatives of the southern regions. By the type of body build, among the girls and boys hypersthenics predominated in the southern region, normostenics - in the northern region. At the same time, with an increase in the constitution, the absolute and relative values of force indices and the vital index increased. At the same time, students in the southern region had a lower functional reserve of the heart, determined by the magnitude of the double product, the heart rate, and blood pressure. For students of the northerners of both genders, satisfactory adaptation (1st “level of health”) is typical, whereas representatives of the Southern Region had a lower level of adaptive potential, which corresponded to the state of exertion of adaptation mechanisms. Conclusion. Comparative evaluation of morpho-functional indices of the body of students of adolescence revealed features of body size, type of constitution, functional reserves of the cardiorespiratory system depending on the previous region of residence. The data obtained can be used to compile standards for the physical development of young people of different regions of the republic and the development of health programs to reduce adaptive stress.

In our work with Australian initial teacher education (ITE) students our emphasis is on encouraging students to understand different cultural practices. Drawing on narrative reflection, we discuss intercultural and pedagogical concerns in which ITE students undertake international practicums. We recognise these students have a predominantly Western lens when undertaking practicums in Asian countries. To address this issue a video A Day in the Life… of Tamil School Children (https://youtu.be/vPdiogRR-Ig) in India was produced to change, improve and help students learn about the social and cultural environment of the ‘international student’. Students who took part in previous international practicums agreed that the video was an effective tool for cultural familiarisation. During this time of COVID-19 with travel restrictions abroad, the video resource serves as an effective visual pedagogy to build cultural understanding, embrace diversity, enable perceptual learning and empowering students to cultivate intercultural understandings of ‘the other’.

This article is dedicated to the analysis of Plato's work “The Republic” in the context of the genesis of project mentality  and project activity as the anthropological outcome that goes back to the early cultural states and primary personality-oriented ancient practices. The author shifts to the plane of historical-cultural retrospective of the origin of the phenomenon of project mentality with the objective vicissitudes of its genesis. An attempt is made to reflect on this process, examine and clarify certain moments associated with the prelude and dynamics of the development of project approach towards organizing modern reality. The author substantiates the original perspective on interpretation of Plato's “Republic” as the early typical example of proto-project mentality formed in the depths of ancient cultural practices. Project mentality is a promising vector of the existence of culture, the so-called matrix of personal fulfillment of a significant part of our contemporaries. The author believes that Plato's work “The Republic” should be recognized as one of the very first examples of proto-project due to the presence of a wide range of typological attributes of design. The conclusion is made that in accordance to most parameters, Plato's work “The Republic” falls under the concept of “project activity”, as it features majority of the aspects of sociocultural design.
