Teachers’ Coping Strategies and Job Satisfaction in Distance Teaching During the COVID-19 Pandemic

The article presents the results of an empirical study, which aims to analyze the relationships between teachers&rsquo; coping strategies and job satisfaction in distance teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study sample consisted of primary school teachers from two large regions in Russia (N=313). The main method was a survey. The questionnaire included the following topics: respondents&rsquo; demographic information, coping strategies, job satisfaction, technical tools used for distance learning, forms of school administration support, learning events for teachers, as well as applied practices. The results of the logistic regression analysis showed that there is a positive relationship between using productive coping strategies and job satisfaction. It was also determined that the relationship between job satisfaction and some factors such as school administration support and the possibility of applying new practices.</p

Domanic deposits of the Volga-Ural basin – types of section, formation conditions and prospects of oil and gas potential

The Domanic deposits of the Volga-Ural oil and gas basin are a high-carbon thin-bedded formation capable of both producing hydrocarbons with its own oil and gas bearing strata and concentrating them in separate reservoirs and zones (Stoupakova et al., 2015). Formation of the Domanic deposits occurred in a relatively deep basin, during the filling of which a variety of sedimentation environments arose from relatively deep sea to shallow-marine. The peculiarity of the formation conditions of high-carbon strata is the increased content of organic matter, carbonate material and free silica, the source of which could be hydrotherms or volcanogenic products, creating a special gas regime of the Earth’s atmosphere in the late Devonian. Evaluation of the generation potential of the Domanic formation showed that siliceous-carbonate and carbonate-siliceous rocks enriched with marine algal organic matter have a high potential. The greatest prospects of oil bearing are the deflections formed on the site of the avlakogen and their slopes, where deposits, rich in organic matter, were formed practically throughout the late Devonian-Tournaisian. High prospects have slopes of uplifts or sides of reef bodies. Such incisions are distributed on the sides of troughs of uncompensated immersion and the lower parts of uplift slopes adjacent to them. In the domanonicoid deposits, in which the carbonate material predominates, the high-carbon intervals developed along the biohermic structures
