The educational sphere in Russia, that includes an upbrining component as well, is undergoing nowadays quality changes the cornerstone of which is the comprehension of universal values and a focus on the rational use of the experience that has been accumulated in the world education. The appeal in this context to the richest heritage of national upbringing traditions as the foundation for the solution of modern problems in humanistic upbrining of the youth is, in our opinion, urgent and relevant. In this regard the article aimes to identify pedagogical conditions of teenagers’ humanity upbringing with progressive national traditions in view. The leading research methods were systematization and generalization of historical-pedagogical facts and concepts, the analysis of actions results, teenagers’ activity and behavior, study and synthesis of educational institutions experience in learners’ humanity upbringing and the use of progressive national traditions in this process, diagnostic techniques, pedagogic experiment.

Transition levels of acceptor impurities in ZnO crystals by DFT-LCAO calculations

This research was partly supported by the Kazakhstan Science Project № AP05134367«Synthesis of nanocrystals in track templates of SiO2/Si for sensory, nano-and optoelectronic applications» and Latvian Super Cluster (LASC), installed in the Institute of Solid State Physics (ISSP) of the University of Latvia. Authors are indebted to D. Gryaznov, A. Popov and A. Dauletbekova for stimulating discussions.Large scale ab-initio calculations are carried out to study the charge state transition levels of nitrogen and phosphorus impurity defects in zinc oxide crystals using the DFT-LCAO approximation as implemented into the CRYSTAL computer code. It is shown that at a high concentration of defects (close location of defects) their formation energy is underestimated due to a significant delocalization of the charge within the supercell. After inclusion the energy offset correction and defect-defective interaction, the formation energy is improved, in a comparison with that calculated in a large supercell. The optical transition levels obtained by a direct calculation confirm the experimental observation: nitrogen and phosphorus impurities are deep acceptor centers with large formation energy in a charged state and, therefore, cannot serve as the effective source of hole charge. The obtained results are in good agreement with the previous theoretical work, in which other calculation methods were used, and are capable of qualitatively describing the energy characteristics of the charged defects.University of Latvia; Institute of Solid State Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences; Institute of Solid State Physics, University of Latvia as the Center of Excellence has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Framework Programme H2020-WIDESPREAD-01-2016-2017-TeamingPhase2 under grant agreement No. 739508, project CAMART

Accumulation of radiation defects and modification of micromechanical properties under MgO crystal irradiation with swift 132Xe ions

This work has been carried out within the framework of the EUROfusion Consortium and has received funding from the Euratom research and training programme 2014-2018 and 2019-2020 under grant agreement No. 633053. The views and opinions expressed herein do not necessarily reflect those of the European Commission. A.A. also acknowledges support via the project GF AP05134257 of Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Kazakhstan .Accumulation of F-type defects under irradiation of MgO crystals by 0.23-GeV 132Xe ions with fluence varying by three orders of magnitude has been investigated via the spectra of optical absorption and low-temperature cathodoluminescence. The number of single centers continuously increases with fluence without any marks of saturation. At the highest fluence, a mean volume concentration of 3.1 × 1019 and 3.35 × 1019 cm−3 is reached for F and F+ centers, respectively. The F+ emission strongly dominates in the cathodoluminescence of irradiated MgO and its enhancement with fluence is detected. However, the creation efficiency of the F2 aggregate centers is very low and fluence dependence has a complicated shape. Radiation-induced changes of micro-mechanical properties of the same samples have been analysed; the depth profiles of hardening correlate with the ion energy loss. A joint contribution of ionization and impact mechanisms in the formation of structural defects under MgO irradiation with Xe ions is considered.H2020 Euratom 2019-2020,633053,2014-2018,GF AP05134257; Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Kazakhstan GF AP05134257; Institute of Solid State Physics, University of Latvia as the Center of Excellence has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Framework Programme H2020-WIDESPREAD-01-2016-2017-TeamingPhase2 under grant agreement No. 739508, project CAMART

RADIATION DAMAGE IN Al2O3 CRYSTALS IRRADIATED WITH HIGH-ENERGY Xe132 IONS

The processes of radiation defect formation were studied in Al2O3 single crystals irradiated with high-energy Xe132 ions with an energy of 230 MeV at room temperature. Optical absorption spectra at room temperature in the wavelength range 190-900 nm contain several absorption bands.Данное исследование финансировалось Комитетом науки Министерства науки и высшего образования Республики Казахстан (грант № AP19574768)

Incorporating Ecosystems in the Water-Energy-Food Nexus: Current Perspective and Future Directions

Integrated approaches for managing natural resources are needed to meet the increasing demand for freshwater, energy and food, while, in parallel, mitigating and adapting to climate change, maintaining the integrity of ecosystems, and ensuring equitable access to resources. The Water-Energy-Food (WEF) Nexus has been proposed as a cross-sectoral approach to understand, analyse, and manage the complex trade-offs and exploit synergies that arise among these resource sectors. Although not initially included as a component of the Nexus, the importance of ecosystems in supporting water, energy and food security is increasingly recognised by the Nexus community of researchers and practitioners. However, attempts to conceptually integrate Ecosystems into the Nexus have yet to converge into a common framework. A group of natural resources management researchers, system thinkers and ecosystem services experts from the European network COST Action CA20138 NEXUSNET have compiled and investigated the various approaches for integrating ecosystems in the WEF Nexus. By combining literature analysis with interdisciplinary workshops – one of which was held in a hybrid format (in person and online) at the University of Oulu, Finland, in September 2022 – we reveal a multiplicity of concepts utilised to represent, partially or fully, ecosystems in the Nexus, namely “natural environment”, “ecosystem services” and “biodiversity”. Disparity was also found in the role attributed to ecosystems in the Nexus framework, being it an underlying layer from which resources for Nexus sectors are extracted or the pillar of an expanded Nexus system – i.e., the WEF-Ecosystems Nexus. Through this collaborative effort, we present possible advantages and disadvantages of adopting differential WEF-Ecosystems Nexus approaches, highlighting their potential complementarity and integration to support future advancement of Nexus research. In the oral presentation, we will show our preliminary findings and encourage the exchange of ideas and feedback from the different scientific disciplines present at the CEMEPE Conference.Tenth International Conference on Environmental Management, Engineering, Planning and Economics (CEMEPE) & SECOTOX Conference organized by: Division of Hydraulics and Environmental Engineering, Department of Civil Engineering, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and Society of Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety (SECOTOX), Skiathos island, Greece, 2023
