STUDENT SOCIO-PSYCHOLOGICAL EXPECTATIONS FROM STUDYING IN HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTION: SATISFACTION DEGREE AND IMPLEMENTATION EVALUATION

O objetivo do estudo é analisar a implementação das expectativas dos alunos de estudar na Universidade. O método principal para o estudo desse problema é o método do questionário, que permite o estudo mais qualitativo e aprofundado das expectativas dos jovens em relação ao ensino superior. É revelado que os problemas existentes têm um impacto negativo na atitude dos alunos em relação à sua instituição educacional e, consequentemente, reduzir sua imagem aos olhos dos futuros alunos e do público em geral. Os dados obtidos neste trabalho podem ser utilizados nas áreas de psicologia da educação, psicologia da idade, psicologia social, pedagogia, sociologia, bem como para o desenvolvimento teórico adicional desta questão.El objetivo del estudio es analizar la implementación de las expectativas de los estudiantes al estudiar en la Universidad.

STUDENT VIEWS ON DOWNSHIFTER LIFESTYLE IN URBAN ENVIRONMENTS

Purpose of the study: The relevance of the article is due to the rethinking of employment by students and the emergence of new forms of income, due to the emergence of Internet resources.  Today, more and more people are revising their work schedules, switching to freelancing or so-called free employment, reducing working hours. In this regard, this article is aimed at studying students' ideas about the lifestyle of downshifters in an urban environment. Methodology: As a research methodology, a qualitative approach was applied using ethnographic strategies to dive into the world of everyday practices of informants and better understand how their daily lives are structured, which is especially important when studying ideas about lifestyle. A detailed description of the ideas about individual everyday practices allows us to identify the type in a social phenomenon. Method of information gathering - in-depth interview, which allows determining the main motives and beliefs of informants. Results: The article revealed that in the view of the majority of students, downshifters are satisfied with their lifestyle; travel a lot; have a low civil position, mainly carry out their household activities in solitude and are not married. It is shown that work for downshifters, in the view of students, should be enjoyable, and if this is not possible for any reason, it is fair for them to do work that does not lead to emotional and physical exhaustion. In the students' views, five groups of downshifters were identified: those who left well paid but stressful work; having the ability to work remotely; devoting more time to personal development; peaked careers and decided to change the profile of activity; transformed their hobby into a profession. Applications of this study: The data obtained in the work can be used in the field of labor and employment of young people, social psychology, the psychology of education, age psychology, sociology, as well as for further theoretical development of this issue. Novelty/Originality of this study: Because the phenomenon of downshifting is not sufficiently studied, and the concept has no clear definition, many people in the society can call themselves downshifters who are not really downshifters indeed, and Vice versa, many people do not realize themselves downshifters, being downshifters in fact. This seems to be a certain problem for studying this social group

Implementation of the Multicomponent Algorithm of the Interdisciplinary Teaching Modules into Liberal Education of the University Students

The importance of the problem presented in the article is determined by the complex of educational strategies, goals and objectives of liberal education of the student - a tomorrow's professional in modern production who shows a new level of cultural identity the main characteristics of which are: awareness of the importance of liberal education in achieving life-plan, self-identification in society and at work; aspiration to make a conscious and decent choice of human values; formedness of consciousness and behavior, readiness to intercultural communication as a combination of competencies of productive interaction with people in the multicultural world. The purpose of the article is to scientifically and methodically underpin the efficiency of the multicomponent algorithm of the interdisciplinary teaching modules in liberal education of the university students. The paper submits the innovative approaches of self-transformation and self-identification of the university students in liberal education in the process of employing a multicomponent algorithm (the target, didactic, organizational - methodological, content-related and procedural components) of the interdisciplinary teaching modules. The article submissions are applicable for the teachers of the Humanities, academic registrars at the social sciences departments of the universities, graduate students and young scientists and students engaged in scientific activities.

The structure and functions of ETS GRAD

The urgency of computer-assisted technologies for teaching natural languages (NL), and first of all foreign languages, is constantly growing. To denote computer-assisted teaching NL a special term – CALL (Computer Assisted Languages Learning) has appeared and is widely used now. The chief disadvantage of the currently available systems of teaching NL is their moderate adaptivity to the learner’s individual characteristic features. To overcome the mentioned drawback, it is necessary to develop expert tutoring systems (ETS) which dynamically form a tutoring program in accordance with the learner’s being-trained level, in contrast to traditional computer systems functioning in conformity with a strict, preset scenario. The importance of mastering the grammar of the German language in the part of adjective declensions is conditioned by the fact that the knowledge about adjectives is used both for the synthesis, and for the analysis of a sentence in German. When a sentence in German is synthesized, the main task at studying an adjective is to determine its ending correctly. In case of analyzin

Polyelectrolyte Microcapsules as a Tool to Enhance Photosensitizing Effect of Chlorin E6

Introduction: Photodynamic therapy is a promising method of tumors treatment using photosensitizers and light of a certain wavelength. PS modification improves and enhances the phototoxic effect with decreased dark cytotoxicity. Materials and Methods: We compared the photosensitizing effect of polyelectrolyte microcapsules with chlorin E6 (ClE6) and free ClE6 at equivalent concentrations on murine fibroblast culture L929 using in vitro tests. Microcapsules were prepared layer by layer, sequentially depositing oppositely charged polyelectrolytes onto spherical CaCO3 particles. Cellular uptake of capsules was assessed using confocal microscopy. MTT test was used for a study of cell viability, and the relative amount of ROS was determined by the fluorescent method. Results: Microcapsules with ClE6 (in all tested concentrations) after exposure to red light (660 nm) reduced cell viability from 20% to 5%, while these capsules did not have dark cytotoxicity. Free ClE6 at the same concentrations as in the capsules after irradiation reduced viability from 65% to 35%. The level of ROS in the group of cells with capsules was 2 times higher compared to the group with CLE6. Discussion: The most probable mechanism of toxicity increase is creation of a higher ROS concentration and effect localization in the area of microcapsule interaction with the cell membrane. ROS production activation may stem from capsules providing a higher local PS concentration in the cell or nearby than the drug’s free form. Conclusion: The inclusion of chlorin E6 in polymer capsules reduced dark toxicity and increased the photosensitizing effect compared to the free form of ClE6
