The article considers the specifics of acculturation of foreign students. It is stated that the characteristic features of older adolescence is a favorable factor for ensuring the successful acculturation of foreign students. It was determined that the successful adaptation of young people to new environmental conditions largely depends on the ethnic psychological characteristics of students and the type of relationships that prevail in their usual society. It is concluded that the successful adaptation of students is largely due not only to their individual psychological characteristics, but also to their socio-cultural background. It is concluded that modern universities have significant potential to ensure the successful acculturation of foreign students.

Professional Value

We examine the formation of the concept of “value orientations”, “professional value orientations of students”. The classification is presented taking into account the following profes-sional value orientations: “professional and personal”, “professional and group”, “social and pro-fessional”. Professional value orientations are analyzed taking into account their importance, with subdivision into instrumental and terminal ones. We consider the development of professional value orientations in a historical and logical sequence with a change of stages, with characteristic features, taking into account the presented classification. The following periods are considered: the second half of the 19th – early 20th century, 20–40s of the 20th century, 50–60s of the 20th century, 60–80s of the 20th century, 80–90s of the 20th century, 21th century. The characteristic features of the stage, the means of influencing the value orientations of young people, are analyzed, which made it possible to identify the transformation of professional value orientations over time, including in the context of Internet socialization.

RESEARCH INTO BOOKS AND THEIR TYPES IN POLAND AFTER THE SECOND WORLD WARThe paper presents an overview of research into books and their types conducted after the Second World War by Polish bibliologists. The scholars were interested mostly in academic books, popular books as well as books for children and young people. They explored their characteristic features, presented them as elements of the publishing repertoire as well as serial publications, and discussed their development in various periods. Less interesting to them were the structure and typology of books. In recent years there have emerged studies devoted to electronic books as objects of bibliological research. Research into books and their types is also conducted by specialists from other disciplines: historians, historians of literature and education. Their results are also interesting to bibliologists.

We assessed the influence of environmental values on the proenvironmental behavior of youth in Serbia by assessing the level of their satisfaction with environmental conditions and their sense of personal environmental responsibility. Participants were 168 15-year-old boys and girls who were pupils in their final year at primary schools in Belgrade. We found that 9.5% of the variability in the students' proenvironmental behavior could be explained by individual differences regarding their environmental values, environmental satisfaction, and environmental responsibility. The results obtained from this study should provide curriculum developers, educators, and teachers with a deeper understanding of methods and strategies to use in order to raise environmental awareness and to encourage environmentally responsible behavior among young people in Serbia.

ObjectiveTo develop paediatric gait standards in healthy children and young people.MethodsThis observational study aims to address the lack of population standards for gait measurements in children. Analysing gait in children affected by neurological or musculoskeletal conditions is an important component of paediatric assessment but is often confounded by developmental changes. The standards presented here do not require clinician expertise to interpret and offer an alternative to developmental tables of normalised gait data. Healthy children aged 1–19 years were recruited from community settings in London and Hertfordshire, UK. The GAITRite walkway was used to record measurements for each child for velocity, cadence, step length, base of support and stance, single and double support (as percentage of gait cycle). We fitted generalised linear additive models for location, scale and shape (gamlss).ResultsWe constructed percentile charts for seven gait variables measured on 624 (321 males) contemporary healthy children using a gamlss package in R. A clinical application of gait standards was explored.ConclusionAge-related, gender-specific standards for seven gait variables were developed and are presented here. They have a familiar format and can be used clinically to aid diagnoses and to monitor change over time for both medical therapy and natural history of the condition. The clinical example demonstrates the potential of the Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health Paediatric Gait Centiles to enable meaningful interpretation of change in an individual’s performance and describes characteristic features of gait from a specific population throughout childhood.

Research suggests that young people use music to express themselves and to make claims about their identities. The current work considered the possible consequences of using music in this way. Using a sample of 80 British young adults, we aimed to replicate and extend previous research on the stereotypes that young people have about fans of various musical genres. It was hypothesized that individuals attribute similar psychological characteristics and social categories to fans of certain styles of music and that those distinct associations are generalizable. Results indicated that judges agreed on both the psychological (personality, personal qualities and values) and social (ethnicity and social class) characteristics of music fans, that the content of the music-genre stereotypes varied between genres, and that the stereotypes are geographically robust. The implications of this work for group processes and intergroup relations are discussed.

The development of civil society in Ukraine requires an active political position on the part of all subjects of public relations; active creative and positive orientation of actions. The basis of this process is political activity and political participation. The problem of studying the political activity of young people - from 18 to 35 years old - is especially relevant. In this regard, it is important to highlight the socio-psychological factors of active political activity, and especially the individual psychological characteristics and psychological characteristics of the microenvironment. As an object of the article, the realities of the political and socio-cultural life of the West in the 1960s and 1970s, when these factors were manifested against the background of the general activity of the youth of the West, were summarized. It is the political activity and participation of young people in various movements and associations that have determined the configuration of political and social processes. Then came the end of the Cold War, the collapse of the USSR, and this story became a general activity of the world's youth, including the youth of Ukraine. Retrospection and historiography make it possible to assess the place of psychology, political psychology in the study of these processes. Psychological science has been enriched with such achievements that they can be used as an example of solving broader problems - as a study of the phenomenon of political and socio-cultural participation of young people in solving urgent everyday problems, especially in modern crises and challenges. Keywords: psychology, political psychology, political activity and political participation, the West in the 1960s and 1970s.

The article reveals the features of the adaptive behavior of young people and elderly citizens during the recession of the economy of the Altai Territory. As the information base of the study, the data of state statistics were used, including sample survey results. The specificity of the article lies in an attempt to make a comparative analysis of the economic behavior of citizens included in the “risk group” in the labor market, under the conditions of a slowdown in the economy of a typical agro-industrial region. The characteristic features of the development of the Altai Territory at the recession stage (2013-2016) are revealed. The essence of the changes lies in the formation of a qualitatively different economic situation, due to a noticeable inhibition of the growth of a number of basic indicators of the socio-economic development of the region. The key features of the development of the Altai Territory during the years of recession are noted, consisting in a relatively stable socio-economic situation in general, and the preservation of the basic characteristics of the labor market, in particular. It was found that the economic slowdown affected mainly the indicators of the level of employment and the growth of unemployment; the level of participation in the labor force has not changed. The gender features of the level of participation in the workforce of young people and elderly citizens are revealed. The specifics of employment of young people and elderly citizens during the recession of the economy in the region are disclosed. It is noted that in comparison with Russia, the problem of unemployment in the considered groups of the population is expressed differently: less acute for young people and more acute for elderly citizens.

The article deals with characteristic features of the financial behavior of student youth and factors affecting it. This paper is based on the results of the author's survey that was conducted in the fall of2020and covered 1242students from 17 universities in Russia. It examines the attitude of young people to saving, consumer, and investment behavior. The author sought to finds out whether the consumer preferences of young students are consistent with their financial capabilities, and whether young people are satisfied with realization of their life plans. He analyzes the sources of income of students and the sums which they consider as savings. The problems of financial dependence of the younger generation on the older ones are discussed in this article. The differences in the financial behavior of students financially dependent on parents and those leading an independent way of life are analyzed. The article presents results of the survey of students' financial behavior related both to preservation and accumulation of capital, and to general strategies of saving behavior—saving for purchasing goods, medical treatment and services, education, etc. There are considered financial instruments used or planned to be used by the respondents in case of saving large sums of money. The article shows the differences in investment behavior, in use of financial instruments between independent and financially dependent students. There are examined discrepancies between the consumer preferences and the financial capabilities of student youth. The conducted study allows drawing a conclusion about the influence of family and parents, their attitudes, and views on the financial decisions of students, which are not always rational.

ABSTRACT The melanomacrophage centers (MMCs) in the liver of fish are indicators of environmental conditions, as they are involved in xenobiotic biotransformation. The objective of this study was to evaluate the number of MMC in the liver of juveniles and adults of Sciades herzbergii from areas with different levels of contamination. The fish were caught at three points (reference - A1, potentially impacted - A2 and contaminated - A3), in São José bay (Maranhão, Brazil), in four samples. The livers were subjected to the standard histological procedure and 5μm sections were stained with hematoxylin-eosin. In livers of A2 adult individuals (260.50±161.50 MMCs / mm²) they presented a greater number of MMCs when compared to A3 adults (60.00 ± 30.10 MMCs / mm²). Juveniles showed considerable values in A1 (100.00 ± 0.00 MMCs/mm²) and A2 (95.33 ± 33.00 MMCs / mm²) compared to juveniles in A3 (49.00±0.00 MMCs/mm²). These high values are unexpected for young people. The average number of MMC correlated with the rainy season in the region. The use of hepatic MMCs as a biomarker of exposure to pollutants, in particular substances from fisheries systems, such as ammonia and nitrite, proved to be adequate to differentiate areas with different levels of impacts.

AbstractStudents’ educational migration is one of the phenomena characteristic of the globalization processes. It has been growing dynamically since the 1970s. A number of young people studying abroad has grown globally from 0.8m in 1975 to almost 5m in 2014. It comes therefore as no surprise that educational migration has become a subject of many sociological and economic studies. Their authors usually use the push-pull factors model i.e. they investigate the factors that “push” students out of their own countries and those that “pull” them to the new place of study. Our research on foreign students in Poland has been approached from a similar angle. In fact, we set out to find an answer to the question “What made foreign students from Ukraine leave their country and why did they choose to study in Poland?” To find our answers we conducted questionnaire interviews on a random purposive sample of foreign students from Ukraine (N=83). In addition, to avoid the risk that the resulting correlations were accidental and the knowledge yielded in this way false, we also used the triangulation procedure – a supporting, in-depth qualitative study involving a focus group. We altogether managed to hold 4 sessions. The results obtained in the questionnaire study and in the focus group sessions were sorted and analyzed statistically (quantitative and qualitative analysis), which allowed us to find out about the main motives influencing students’ migration decisions as well as the factors “pushing” them out of Ukraine and attracting them to Poland.
