THE IMPACT OF FOCUSING STUDENTS' ATTENTION ON THEMSELVES AS FUTURE PROFESSIONALS ON THEIR PROFESSIONAL CALLING

Researchers express ideas about the relationship between focusing students' attention on themselves as future professionals during their studies and students' professional calling. However, empirical evidence on this relationship is still lacking. The research aimed to answer the question: "What is the impact of focusing students' attention on themselves as future professionals on their professional calling?" In order to answer this question the quasi-experiment with the non-equivalent comparison group without the pre-test design has been carried out. The quasi-experimental programme was implemented in the experimental group of 31 student of the social pedagogy study programme of Klaipėda University in 2009-2014. The control group consisted of 79 students from three other Lithuanian universities. The final measurement was carried out in the control and experimental groups on May-June, 2014. The results argue that focusing students' attention on themselves as future professionals during their studies has an impact on their professional calling

Endoplasmic reticulum stress induces ligand-independent TNFR1-mediated necroptosis in L929 cells

Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-induced cellular dysfunction and death is associated with several human diseases. It has been widely reported that ER stress kills through activation of the intrinsic mitochondrial apoptotic pathway. Here we demonstrate that ER stress can also induce necroptosis, an receptor-interacting protein kinase 1 (RIPK1)/RIPK3/mixed lineage kinase domain-like protein (MLKL)-dependent form of necrosis. Remarkably, we observed that necroptosis induced by various ER stressors in L929 cells is dependent on tumor necrosis factor receptor 1 (TNFR1), but occurs independently of autocrine TNF or lymphotoxin α production. Moreover, we found that repression of either TNFR1, RIPK1 or MLKL did not protect the cells from death but instead allowed a switch to ER stress-induced apoptosis. Interestingly, while caspase inhibition was sufficient to protect TNFR1- or MLKL-deficient cells from death, rescue of the RIPK1-deficient cells additionally required RIPK3 depletion, indicating a switch back to RIPK3-dependent necroptosis in caspase-inhibited conditions. The finding that ER stress also induces necroptosis may open new therapeutic opportunities for the treatment of pathologies resulting from unresolved ER stress

Evaluation of effectiveness of psychoactive substance abuse prevention program “My Way”: transformations in the 9th-12th grades pupils’ perceptions about psychoactive substance use

Purpose – The purpose of the article is to describe the transformations in the perceptions of the consequences of the use of psychoactive substances between 9-12’th grades pupils in the context of the implementation of the psychoactive substances abuse prevention program “My Way”. Research methodology – the authors performed a quasi-experiment and according to the methodological requirements related to the use of such scientific method in the educology studies, used an unequal control group and the primary/initial (pre-test) as well as final (post-test) measurements to achieve the aim of the research/article. Findings – the data of the quasi-experiment research showed that as the whole after intervention the pupil’s perceptions about the use of psychoactive substances in the experimental group has changed; the pupils who were assigned to the control group assessed the effects of the use of psychoactive substances better than those who were assigned to the control group. Research limitations – during the implementation of the program and the experiment, the activities related to the quasi-experiment were held only by social pedagogues in certain selected schools and classes (considering various factors such as the behaviour of children or their attributability to the families at social risk). Accordingly, in the next similar studies, children can be sampled evenly, without differentiating them based on their behavioural problems. Practical implications – the results of the research could be used in practice in the following ways: (i) by motivating the schools of general education in the Republic of Lithuania to choose prevention programs as the purposeful and meaningful instrument to develop healthy life skills; (ii) to develop and expand the range of new prevention programs based on the experience of the program “My Way” which is presented and evaluated in this article. Originality/Value – there are no similar previous educological and other educational science studies (in Lithuania) how the pupils’ attitudes change during the pre-planned and systematically implemented preventive activities in general education schools; the article presents and outlines the experience and practice of the first such Lithuanian program for the prevention of psychoactive substance abuse (“My Way”)

Website of international festival multimedia projects' «Students’ EVA» as platform for the development of professional community

В информационном обществе мультимедийные технологии служат превалирующим фактором его развития, потому что на первое место становятся методы визуализации информации, доступность и понятность её для рядового пользователя в электронной коммуникационной среде. Фестивальное движение в области мультимедиа является фактором формирова ния и развития профессионального сообщества. Описана концепция сайта SEVA 2009, посвященного мультимедийным проектам (www.seva.kmtis.ru).Multimedia technology is one of the main factors for the development of in­ormation society. The most important result of the educational institution activity is now not the system of knowledge, ability and skill but the set of key competencies. These situations modeling professional activity of a teacher may be realized in the special electronic collaborative learning environments allowing the teacher to intro­duce effective control over the students' activity in the virtual training environment

INFORMATION ABOUT THE HOST COUNTRY BEFORE IMMIGRATION: HOW IS IT RELATED TO IMMIGRANTS’ BASIC SOCIODEMOGRAPHIC CHARACTERISTICS?

The study has been conducted within the ERASMUS+ KA2 partnership project “Improving the initial education of adult immigrants”. Research is based on the anonymous survey in which took part 1127 legal adult immigrants from outside the European Union. The study was performed in 2017 in the six European Union countries: Lithuania, Latvia, Romania, Bulgaria, Italy and Belgium. The purpose of this article is to investigate how information about the host country before immigration is related to immigrants’ basic sociodemographic characteristics, i.e.: age, gender and education. Statistical data analysis showed a statistically significant difference between the information, which immigrants knew before their arrival in the host country, and education as well as age groups. However, there were no statistically significant differences found between the information, which immigrants knew before their arrival in the host country, and immigrants’ gender. Moreover, information that immigrants lack most prior to their arrival is related with health care and the employment system as well as the ability to learn the hosting country’s official language.KEYWORDS: migration, information practices, sociodemographic characteristics.JEL CODES: J15, D83.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.15181/rfds.v25i2.174

Representation of Family Values in Media Texts about the Day of Peter and Fevronia Muromsky

Трансформация праздничного календаря является репрезентацией ценностей, признаваемых в обществе на данный момент. Исследование на примере институциональных и неинституциональных СМИ рассматривает отражение в новом государственном празднике — Дне любви, семьи и верности (Дне Петра и Февронии Муромских) — традиционных семейных ценностей, которые являются смысловой доминантой и поддерживающих праздник медиатекстов, и возражающего дискурса.The transformation of the holiday calendar is a representation of the values recognized in society at the moment. The study, using the example of institutional and non–institutional media, examines the reflection in the new state holiday – the Day of Love, Family and Fidelity (the Day of Peter and Fevronia Muromsky) - of traditional family values, which are the semantic dominant of both media texts supporting the holiday and objecting discours
