The article discusses the issues of improving the methodology of teaching the Russian language and the effectiveness of teaching the Russian language in a multicultural environment with the inclusion of elements of spiritual culture (including folklore) in educational institutions (humanitarian gymnasiums, high schools and institutions of higher education) of the Republic of Mari El. The authors demonstrate differences in the use of folklore in the main (class, out-of-class and out-of-school) activities of the experimental network institutions (Federal Institute for the Development of Education, Moscow) and the training workshop (‘Prosveshchenie’ Publishing House). It is concluded that projects aimed at socio-cultural adaptation, successful socialization and enculturation of Russian youth are of great importance from different angles, including the issue of harmonizing interpersonal and intercultural relations in modern Russian society. The authors’ experience (E. A. Plotnikova, M. N. Pirogova) in introducing certain units of Russian traditional culture into the study of the Russian language by foreign students also had certain positive reviews. It is obvious that at the initial stage of training, students should receive a certain linguistic minimum, including knowledge of the country’s culture, traditions, features of verbal and non-verbal communication, etc. Application of innovative educational technologies, including quests and competitions, gives good results in this case.

The depopulation that intensified during the pandemic sharpens attention to the issues of family and demographic policy. The well-being of families and the growth of the expected number of children in these families is becoming a priority. In this regard, it is interesting to assess the determinants of their well-being in the psychological and socio-economic aspects through the eyes of families themselves. The above analysis of the importance of values and key aspects of the life of Russians, the living conditions of Russian families is based on the data of the All-Russian sociological survey "Demographic Wellbeing of Russia" conducted in 2020. The study allowed us to characterize life priorities, existing social and material problems of families in the context of regions, which provides a basis development of measures in the field of supporting families, taking into account territorial characteristics, and definitely speaks of the practical significance of the presented results. Particular attention in the article is paid to the assessment of intergenerational relationships, which significantly supplements the data characterizing the situation of Russian families provided by Rosstat and a number of other sociological surveys. The results of the study showed a significant dependence of family well-being on the preservation of spiritual and moral traditions in family relations, the presence of intergenerational ties, the ability of a generation of parents to provide assistance and support in raising their children to adult children. In this context, it is noted the lack of attention of the state as a leading social actor in society, which is entrusted with the formation and development of the institution of a prosperous Russian family, the formation and strengthening of the family as a fundamental basis of Russian society, the creation of family ideals based on traditional values. and accepting intergenerational hierarchy and solidarity, increasing the authority of parenting in the family and society.

The cultivation of traditionalism in law, based on universal human values and the history of jurisprudence, remains relevant in the post-Soviet space for almost three decades since the destruction of the unified state. At the same time, legal science does not recognize the primacy of the historical school of law, which was revived in the 90s XX century. together with other classical types of legal thinking, after the rejection of the centralism of the materialist theory that prevailed in Soviet jurisprudence. The reason for the attractiveness of traditionalism lies in the inclination towards it of many continental peoples, intensified by the visible consequences of leveling the experience of national legal development in North American and European law, positioning liberal trends, which are largely inappropriate for traditional states, to which Russia belongs, formed as a result of millennial evolution. Among complex nations that have a long experience in the development of statehood and the heterogeneity of the specifics of legal culture, the concepts that fix traditional values in the legal creation as a natural source of human rights, imperatively not connected with the law, which is rational and moral, but by its nature deafened and not necessarily reflects the historical mentality of the society. One example of such concepts aimed at reviving traditional statehood and preserving the integrity of society is the doctrine contained in the twovolume work of the Turkmen statesman Saparmurat Niyazov entitled “Rukhnama”, who tried to translate it into practice. Therefore, the object of the article is public relations associated with the revival of the Turkmen statehood through the formation in the period of a national human rights standard, harmonized with the interests of a traditional society. The subject of the article is a general description, the main content and applied significance of the concept of Saparmurat Niyazov, illustrating the possibility of forming a legal state taking into account traditionalism, as well as the importance of the corresponding doctrine for the development of the legal system of Turkmenistan. The concept of national revival of the republic, formulated by Saparmurat Niyazov, became the basis for the development of a social ideology that influenced the post-Soviet formation of republican legislation, is of scientific interest for other states experiencing the expansion of liberal tendencies in law, not excluding the Russian Federation. In conditions when the international universal security system is showing stagnation, sovereign states are turning to the toolkit of international regional and national means of ensuring security. Therefore, the revenge of traditionalism is predictable, illustrated by the example of Turkmenistan. Moreover, the Russian society, as well as the Turkmen one, shows an inclination towards it, and the construction of a welfare state, declared at the constitutional level, makes it possible to reflect this trend while improving legislation.

IntroductionNavy ships and submarines are important military measures that protect the Republic of Korea. They also comprise naval officers’ workplace. However, few studies have examined naval officers’ working environment and their job-related well-being. This study aimed to explore exposure to hazardous work environments among navy officers aboard ships and submarines and their association with job-related affective well-being.MethodsThis was a cross-sectional descriptive study. The sample comprised 146 officers from 4 navy ships and 98 officers from 5 submarines. Items of exposure to the eight types of hazardous work environments and the Job-related Affective Well-being Scale (JAWS) were included in the self-report survey questionnaires.ResultsThe most common hazards reported by officers aboard navy ships were vibration (63.7%) and air pollution (56.2%). For submarine officers, these hazards were lack of personal space (72.4%) and air pollution (67.3%). The average JAWS score for ship officers and submarine officers was 69.81 (SD=10.89) and 70.50 (SD=10.83), respectively. For ship officers, exposure to air pollution, noise, vibration, thermal discomfort during summer or winter and lack of personal space were significantly correlated with lower JAWS scores. For submarine officers, exposure to fire, burning or electrical shock, air pollution, noise, thermal discomfort during summer or winter and lack of personal space were significantly correlated with lower JAWS scores.ConclusionsThis study revealed that some naval officers aboard ships or submarines are exposed to hazardous work environments. Moreover, certain types of hazardous work environments were associated with naval officers’ job-related affective well-being.

Methodological Aspects

The article deals with methodological aspects of the development of ecological culture of schoolchildren in a multicultural educational environment. The authors identify two acute problems in modern society – multiculturalism and ecology. The Russian Federation is a multicultural country. Multicultural education is aimed at preserving the diversity of Russian society, carries the potential and tool for protecting ethnic and national communities in a multi-ethnic Russia, promotes the integration of all territorial-economic, political and national-cultural communities into a single Russian nation, allows a person to adapt to a multicultural world, helps a person understand himself and the people around him and promote the social role of a cultural person in society. The authors consider the relationship between multiculturalism and ethnopedagogy, identify the main pedagogical approaches and principles of development of multicultural education. The article notes the importance of integration of two significant areas in education and in the world - ethnology and ecology. Together they make an ethno-cultural module and an eco-cultural module which form the values for the society sustainable development. The possibility of using the technology of project activity through the implementation of ethno-ecological projects of students is considered. The authors note that ethnoecological projects on the dominant activity of students can be of different directions: research, educational, creative or practical ones. The most effective way to work on projects is through the implementation of a system of eco-oriented multicultural project weeks. Authors pay an important attention to the projects aimed at studying the ethnoecological traditions of the native land, the peculiarities of its geography, climate, natural landscape, flora and fauna, reflected in folklore, folk crafts, cults, rituals, holidays, legends, myths, etc.

PurposeThe Higher Degree Research (HDR) journey is known for its difficulties, complexities and challenges (Lees-Deutsch, 2020), with many students experiencing multi-faceted issues and concerns (Skopek et al., 2020). Therefore, the purpose of this research is to investigate the relationships that exist between variables, vulnerability factors and doctorial capital of candidates (n = 532) studying at Australian universities (2019).Design/methodology/approachA quantitative cross-sectional correlational research design and Bronfenbrenner's socio – ecological framework (personal, home, university, community) was utilised to collect participants' (n = 532) descriptive statistics. Bourdieu's social reproduction theory was used as a lens to examine how experiences, across the PhD candidature, are influenced by several psychosocial factors and doctoral capital.FindingsFrom such a dual methodological approach, the findings from this study suggests that (1) age, (2) gender, (3) nationality, (4) financial/work status, (5) years of PhD and (6) attending postgraduate (PG) student events, go to significantly (p < 0.001) impact (positively and negatively) on students' experiences and correspondingly, impacts on their self-confidence, motivation and mental health and well-being status.Research limitations/implicationsResearch limitations are related to the recruitment of more doctoral students across more Australian universities. Further research is required from HDR supervisors, so as to “balance” the experiences of the PhD journey in higher education.Practical implicationsIn order to succeed in academia and HDR programs, students need to identify with and develop the “right kind of capital” to successfully navigate fields of social and scholarly play. Investigating how the participants perceive their social and scholarly habitus is seen as crucial in helping students to develop positive dispositions relevant to being a doctoral student.Social implicationsThe concept of doctoral capital and well-being, amongst Australian PhD students, is under researched and requires further investigation as a precursor to developing more specific policy designs aimed at providing heightened positive learning environments/HDR programs tailored to support doctoral students.Originality/valueWhilst reforms to improve PhD experiences are well established across the international literature (Geven et al., 2018; Skopek et al., 2020), evidence for Australia is largely missing. It is envisaged, that findings from this research will further assist in the development of quality policies that would go to provide effective services and support for doctoral students within Australian universities.
