Identify the needs for continuous professional training of specialists working with juvenile delinquents in order to make the intervention more effective and increase the chances of social adaptation

Youth deviance is one of the fundamental problems of any society. Over time, the problem of young people's adaptation to the group they belong to, the stages of socialization, internalization and compliance with the rules imposed by the majority, as well as the inability of some individuals to adapt to the demands of social life in common, have been food for thought and a framework for scientific debate. Despite the efforts of state institutions, police, prosecutors, courts, schools, juvenile delinquency cannot be stopped. But it can be reduced if a series of appropriate social and criminal measures are implemented. Minors and young people have developing personalities and working with these categories must be guided by the principle of "not adapted to the prison - adapted to the social". Thus, the activities carried out with juvenile delinquents must aim to maintaining a permanent connection with the external social environment, developing certain social skills, increasing their educational level and facilitating their socio-occupational integration. The intervention on juvenile delinquency must start from the intervention on the individual and continue with the intervention on the specialists who work with this category, going up to formulating recommendations on the conditions in which the educational approaches in prison can be optimally carried out. In the light of the new European legislation on the social reintegration of the formerly imprisoned, a new perspective is emerging. Each prisoner is "invited to contribute to their own positive change" (Gheorghe, 2016, p. 210). However, the determined role in the development of effective interventions lies with the penitentiary system, through the social actors involved, especially the specialists who carry out educational activities. The research aims at identifying the training needs of staff working with juvenile delinquents and those at social risk.

Implementation of Migration Attitudes of Young People of the Volgograd Region in the Conditions of Digitalization

In difficult socio-economic conditions, studies are being updated to identify factors affecting the labor migration of young people, as well as studies focused on predicting the situation in regions with an unfavorable demographic situation. Labor migration is the result of the formation of new behaviors of young people studying and working, but the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) has had a great impact on this process today. In the regions, conditions have been created for the organization of remote work, management processes are being optimized, etc. The purpose of this study is to identify the migration attitudes of young people in the Volgograd region, as well as to assess the impact of the development of remote forms of employment on the prospects of youth labor migration. The paper presents the data of a sociological study conducted in 2021 by a mass survey of young people aged 18 to 35 years living in the Volgograd region (quota sample, n=576). As well as data from an expert survey of employer representatives and specialists involved in the implementation of the federal project “Personnel for the Digital Economy”, strategic objectives for the development of remote technologies were identified and the impact of digitalization on the adaptation of young people in the labor market was assessed. The study made it possible to systematize the conditions in which young people are ready for labor migration, as well as the prospects for reducing the outflow of young people to large cities. The results obtained in the course of the study will serve as a basis for further search for resources to stabilize migration flows in the region and create conditions for self-realization of young professionals in the labor market.

SPECIFIC NATURE OF PEDAGOGICAL SUPPORT FOR THE PROCESS OF ADAPTATION OF STUDENTS AT THE UNIVERSITY

The article discusses the importance of and the need for pedagogical support for the adaptation of students in a modern university. The adaptation of young people in a higher education institution is often associated with the need to improve adaptation strategies that will allow them to successfully adapt to the learning process. To implement this task, it is necessary to create conditions for providing pedagogical support to students for their adaptation at the uni- versity. Pedagogical support of students means forming their skills of effective response in various social situations and learning conditions. Teachers and students should be actively involved in this process; therefore, it is suggested that programs that would include the basic skills of adaptive behavior should be developed.

THE ADAPTIVE CAPACITY OF YOUNG MIGRANTS FROM KYRGYZSTAN IN MOSCOW

The significant numbers of migrants from Kyrgyzstan in Moscow and the difficulties in adapting to the new conditions recorded by our research highlight the need to explore the adaptive capacity of young Kyrgyz. The lack of scientific knowledge about the potential adaptive capacities of different groups of young Kyrgyz hinders the creation of optimal conditions that would allow them to internalize norms, values, and rules of behavior, increases the potential for conflict in the Moscow community, makes the life of migrants less comfortable, and complicates integration processes in the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU). The purpose of this study is to characterize the adaptive capacity of young people from Kyrgyzstan in Moscow that helps them fit into the social environment, allows them to overcome the discomfort caused by the contradictory social context and unfamiliar living conditions, and influences their success in the host community and their attitudes to integration. The analysis presented in this article rests on empirical data obtained from a structured interview with 823 migrants, citizens of Kyrgyzstan aged 17 to 30 years, conducted in 2020. The novelty of the study lies in a systemic examination and comprehensive assessment of the social adaptation capacity of this social community, because up to now publications on this topic have considered only some aspects of the phenomenon. In this article, “adaptive capacity” refers to the set of individual characteristics of migrants that ensures their inclusion into the host society, a change in previous norms and models of behavior, and the socialization of new behavior models emerging in the process of interaction between the individual and the new socio-cultural conditions of life and work as the synergistic effect of the relationship and interaction between the adaptive capacity of the individual and that of the environment. Its analysis is based on a description of expectations, perceptions, and social attitudes; the level of empathy, openness and complementarity with regard to the host community; and the degree of tolerance for people of other nationalities and identities. The article shows how migrants evaluate the adaptive capacity of the environment as resulting from coordinated, concerted, and friendly action by all stakeholders: government, employers, and local population. It also analyzes the associations that arise in connection with Russia. The study reveals the impact of migrants’ adaptive capacity on their attitudes to integration processes in the EAEU. It was shown that notions about the nature of the interaction between Muscovites and migrants that is necessary to harmonize the individual and the environment (assimilation, bicultural adaptation or separation) determine the depth and direction of the activities of young migrants and their assessments of concrete social reality, while their strategic preferences with regard to the cultural norms and values of other peoples determine the adaptation attitudes and strategies that largely characterize their adaptive capacity. These strategies are as follows: marginalization of young Kyrgyz in the Moscow community, complementarity, and internalization of dominant norms. The research conducted suggests the need for measures to improve interaction between migrants and the host society and provides grounds for the Eurasian Economic Commission and social institutions in Russia and Kyrgyzstan to develop measures designed to create conditions for adaptation, as well as to determine the appropriate instruments and mechanisms for this purpose. This research paves the way for developing a theory of social adaptation of migrants, for empirical research into migration processes in the post-Soviet space, and for a better understanding of the specific features of social adaptation of young people from Kyrgyzstan.

ADAPTATION OF YOUNG PEOPLE ON THE LABOR MARKET: DOMESTIC AND FOREIGN EXPERIENCE

The article considers the process of adaptation of young people in the labour market. It has been determined that the main adaptation barriers for young people in the modern Ukrainian labour market are: low competitiveness; lack of the majority of young people with the necessary knowledge and skills for self-determination in the labour market, career development, negotiating with employers on employment issues; inconsistency of the professional qualification structure of youth with the needs of the economy and the available vacancies; lack of a mechanism to ensure the
 relationship between the labour market and the market of educational services; backwardness of personnel policy of most organizations, focused mainly on achieving current results, rather than on long-term development. It is analyzed that the successful adaptation ends, as a rule, with stable employment, adoption of laws of the labour market functioning. Violations of young people's adaptation in the labour market can have serious consequences, the main of which are chronic unemployment of large groups of young people, negative impact on socio-psychological development of young people, frustration at work as a means of personal self-realization.

ПРОБЛЕМИ ТА ПЕРСПЕКТИВИ СТВОРЕННЯ УМОВ СТІЙКОГО РОЗВИТКУ ІННОВАЦІЙНОЇ ВИЩОЇ ОСВІТИ В УКРАЇНІ

The article considers the current state of general and innovative development of higher education in Ukraine and its provision with the necessary resources. It is proved that today there are a number of factors that negatively affect the state of higher education in our country, they significantly affect the implementation of change and innovation, their funding and improvement in higher education. The study analyzed the state of innovation infrastructure in the context of assessing the components of the Global Competitiveness Index and the Global Innovation Index, in which Ukraine ranks almost last, which does not correspond to its real potential. It is proved that in today's conditions higher education requires scientific and pedagogical workers to master and implement innovative methods of teaching and learning based on multimedia, information programs, knowledge transfer systems. Structural and logical technologies with step-by-step organization of the learning system are proposed, which contributes to the logical sequence of setting and solving didactic tasks based on the selection of their content, forms, methods and teaching aids at each stage of the process. The study confirmed that global processes in the field of education primarily affect higher education, which should promote comprehensive, especially psychological, adaptation of young people in the difficult conditions of modern life, give him a worldview, value foundation, help shape their own goals and goals for future independent life. The mechanisms of realization of interests of all subjects of educational process are investigated, problems of management of development of branch are established. The world experience of providing educational processes in conditions of uncertainty is considered. In order to pursue a more effective educational and innovative policy, the government has proposed a mechanism for harmonizing the socio-economic interests of the state, science and business, which summarizes the results of responsibility. It is concluded that the proposed measures are able to address the challenges posed by new global challenges.

Adaptation of young people from foreign countries based on the study of spiritual and moral subjects

The analysis of the adaptation of the students' youth from foreign countries within Russian society and the educational environment is presented in the current research. The authors study the problem of adaptation based on the case of the Don State Technical university which is providing activities on increasing the number of foreign students. Logically this university's politics lead to the engagement of the students from many foreign countries and the gradual formation of the multicultural and multi-confessional community within the campus. Despite the engagement of a large number of the representatives of different cultures the university, namely, the Orthodox culture and theology department has established the number of innovative educational methods and educational techniques which contribute to the adaptation of the foreign youth into Russian society. These new methods are based on the establishment of spiritual and moral subjects which were integrated into the educational process. The results of the cycle of the research activities have confirmed that these methods can be effectively used for the adaptation of the foreign students within Russian society.

Development of Students-Foreigners’ Communicative Competence by Means of Information Technologies under the Conditions of the Medical University

The article deals with an urgent issue of a systematic research of foreign students studying in Ukraine. Successful learning and social adaptation of young people greatly depend on learning the Ukrainian language. In addition to the obvious advantages, it is advisable to pay particular attention to the system of theoretical and methodological support of the educational process, starting from the author’s textbooks and finishing with modern information technologies. Forming the communicative competence of a medical professional is impossible without taking into account the value-motivational side of this process. In this regard, the communicative training of the healthcare worker is viewed within an axiological approach. As a consequence, professional values are the central category. Peculiarities of future doctors’ professional values formation as a component of communicative competence are considered. The study, aimed at analysing the development of professional qualities of foreign medical students, was conducted at I. Horbachevsky Ternopil National Medical University in the 2018-2019 academic year.The study was carried out under the guidance of professors A.Vykhrushch and N. Fedchyshyn by lecturers of I Horbachevsky Ternopil National Medical University T. Khvalyboha (EdD), I. Drach (PhD), M. Rudenko (PhD) that teach students-foreigners at the Department of the Ukrainian Language and Department of Foreign Languages.

Specifics of acculturation of foreign students

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.

THE PSYCHOLOGICAL CORRECTIVE MODEL FOR PSYCHOLOGICAL MECHANISMS OF SOCIAL ADAPTATION OF YOUNG PEOPLE WITH MOTOR DISORDERS

Due to the rapid economic and political changes in Ukraine, the problem of psychological assistance is becoming increasingly important. The demand for psycho-correctional, counselling and psychotherapeutic services for the country population is growing. The psychological services to disabled young people, including anti-terrorist operation veterans with past-damage motor disorders, are of particular importance. The programs of socio-psychological support for disabled young people with are being implemented at the state level, but this problem is not sufficiently developed. In order to provide comprehensive psychological assistance to young people with motor disorders, we developed and tested a new program aimed at overcoming the socio-psychological maladaptation of young people with motor disorders. Its main component is a psychological corrective model of psychological mechanisms of social adaptation of young people with motor disorders. The basic structure of the model is the theoretical model of psychological mechanisms of social adaptation of young people with motor disorders proposed by Shevtsov A.G., Chukhrii I.V. The proposed model covers the psychological means correcting the psychological mechanisms of social adaptation of young people with motor disorders and consisted of an educational part (educational seminars for young disabled people; summer camps for them; press-conferences; lectures; programs of socio-psychological support of young people with motor disorders; round tables) and the psychological corrective work (psychological counselling, individual and group psychotherapy). The psychological corrective means influence the psychological adaptive strategies of social adaptation used by young people with disabilities. As a result of the proposed means application, these young people can experience the following personal changes: a more stable self-concept; balancing and developed adaptive strategies of social adaptation; increased adaptability, improved self-acceptance, acceptance of others, better emotional comfort, higher independence, deeper cooperation; reduced maladaptation, self-rejection, emotional discomfort, submissiveness, lower external control, less manifestations of aggression, competition, avoidance, depression, defence mechanisms, frustration; increased social activity. The program proposed in the article is effective and can be implemented in the centres for social and psychological rehabilitation of young people with disabilities.

The Moscow youth’s resources of successful adaptation to the economic crisis and factors of enhancing their adaptation potential

The article presents the features of the adaptation potential of the urban youth as the most successfully adapting to the crisis group of the Russian population. Based on the results of the secondary analysis of empirical data, the author emphasizes the lack of scientific knowledge about the factors contributing to the successful adaptation of the megapolis youth to the social-economic crisis. The article explains the necessity to use a special methodological approach to the study of adaptation of young people to crisis conditions, which takes into account the complex of resources involved in adaptation and social development. Based on the P.S. Kuznetsov’s complex model of social development resources ensuring successful adaptation of the youth, the author conducted empirical interpretation and operationalization of the notion “youth’s adaptation potential” using seven sets of resources: material, self-preservation, regulatory, reproductive, communicative, cognitive and self-realization. Based on the monitoring of the Institute of Sociology of the FCTAS RAS, the author identifies the factors for successful adaptation of the Moscow youth to the economic crisis: high family income; search for additional earnings rather than waiting for help from government and public structures; small cash savings; the indirect impact of the crisis and the high assessment of one’s financial situation; high level of readiness to take material, social and financial risks; stability and security in the workplace, the ability to realize one’s skills; high level of communicative resources; high level of education, a broad outlook and motivation for self-education; value orientations that contribute to an active adaptation strategy; positive attitude to achieving life goals. The article presents some recommendations for decision makers in the field of youth policy aimed at strengthening the adaptive potential of the Moscow youth and successful models of adaptation to crisis conditions in everyday practices.

'It's like the bad guy in a movie who just doesn't die': aqualitative exploration of young people's adaptation toeczema and implications for self-care.

SummaryBackgroundEczema is a common childhood inflammatory skin condition, affecting more than one in five children. A popular perception is that children ‘outgrow eczema’, although epidemiological studies have shown that, for many, eczema follows a lifelong episodic course.ObjectivesTo explore the perceptions of young people about the nature of their eczema and how these perceptions relate to their self‐care and adapting to living with eczema.MethodsThis is a secondary inductive thematic analysis of interviews conducted for Healthtalk.org. In total 23 interviews with young people with eczema were included. Of the 23 participants, 17 were female and six male, ranging from 17 to 25 years old.ResultsParticipants generally experienced eczema as an episodic long‐term condition and reported a mismatch between information received about eczema and their experiences. The experience of eczema as long term and episodic had implications for self‐care, challenging the process of identifying triggers of eczema flare‐ups and evaluating the success of treatment regimens. Participants’ experiences of eczema over time also had implications for adaptation and finding a balance between accepting eczema as long term and hoping it would go away. This linked to a gradual shift in treatment expectations from ‘cure’ to ‘control’ of eczema.ConclusionsFor young people who continue to experience eczema beyond childhood, a greater focus on self‐care for a long‐term condition may be helpful. Greater awareness of the impact of early messages around ‘growing out of’ eczema and provision of high‐quality information may help patients to manage expectations and support adaptation to treatment regimens. What's already known about this topic? There is a common perception that people ‘grow out of’ eczema, but for many people eczema follows a lifelong episodic course.Qualitative work has shown that parents can find that being told their child will grow out of eczema is dismissive, and that they have difficulty with messages about ‘control not cure’ of eczema.It is unclear how young people perceive their eczema and the implications of this perception for their adaptation and self‐care. What does this study add? The message that many people ‘grow out of’ eczema has a potentially detrimental effect for young people where the condition persists.This has implications for young people's perceptions of their eczema, their learning to self‐care and how they adapt to living with eczema and eczema treatments. What are the clinical implications of this work? Clinicians need to promote awareness among young people that eczema is a long‐term episodic condition in order to engage them with effective self‐care.Young people transitioning to self‐care need evidence‐based information that is specific and relatable to them.

Sociocultural adaptation of foreign youth to the Ukrainian students: anthroposociology the context

Purpose. To study the features of socio-cultural adaptation of young people in the Ukrainian student environment. To justify the leading role anthropogenetics factor in the processes of adaptation in modern society. To highlight the importance of individual, social and spiritual in the development of youth society. Theoretical basis. Taking into account the ambiguity of the goal, the following methods were used in the study: the system method, the methodology of complex socio-cultural research, the method of ascent from the abstract to the concrete, inductive and deductive methods, anthroposociogenetic method. The system method was used to achieve in the theoretical and cognitive basis of understanding the relationship of the main categories of research: «socio-cultural», «adaptation», «socio-cultural adaptation», «socialization», «mentality», «spirituality», «disadaptation”, «social and cultural exclusion». The methodology of complex socio-cultural research, authored by E. R. Borinstein, was used to obtain comprehensive socio-cultural data on the groups studied at the beginning, during and at the end of the study. The method of ascent from concrete to abstract was used, based on the need to move from the analysis of the conceptual apparatus and the theoretical essence of the problem to a specific study of the problems facing Ukrainian students, multicultural in nature and in need of effective methods of social adaptation to the constantly transforming conditions of existence in the new socio-cultural environment. Anthroposociology method, based on the originality and independence of thought of the person allowed to reveal the spiritual-existential essence of Ukrainian students, identify its transcendental characteristics. The scientific novelty of the results is that for the first time in the Ukrainian socio-philosophical thought developed and conducted a comprehensive study of the features of socio-cultural adaptation of foreign youth, which is part of the Ukrainian students to the ever-changing socio-cultural environment. The results of the study provide an opportunity to deepen knowledge about the value orientations of modern youth, to create a model of socio-cultural adaptation in a constantly transforming society. Summary. Social and cultural adaptation of foreign students in case of complex (social, cultural, economic, psychological and political) solution of the issues is the most effective. Further implementation of the project will help students to effectively adapt to the new socio-cultural conditions of their lives and improve the quality and level of education of students, providing a highly motivated mastery of knowledge, skills and abilities. The proposed set of measures to study the effective adaptation of students is one of the steps to solve this problem in a wider range of socio-cultural adaptation of different groups of Ukrainian society.

Psychometric properties of the Family Resilience Assessment Scale: A Singaporean perspective.

Families of young people with chronic illnesses are more likely to experience higher levels of stress. In turn, their ability to cope with multiple demands is likely to affect young people's adaptation. The purpose of this study was to examine psychometric properties of the Family Resilience Assessment Scale (FRAS), an assessment tool that measures the construct of family resilience. A total of 152 young people with epilepsy, aged 13 to 16years old, from KK Women's and Children's Hospital, Singapore, completed the FRAS along with the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale. Factor structure of the FRAS was examined. Exploratory factor analysis resulted in a 7-factor solution - meaning-making and positive outlook, transcendence and spirituality, flexibility and connectedness, social and economic resources (community), social and economic resources (neighbors), clarity and open emotional expression, and collaborative problem-solving - accounting for 83.0% of the variance. Internal consistency of the scale was high (α=0.92). Family resilience was significantly correlated with higher levels of self-esteem. Our study provides preliminary findings that suggest that FRAS is a reliable and valid scale for assessing the construct of family resilience among young people with epilepsy in Singapore.

Constructions of race: symbolic ethnic capital and the performance of youth identity in multicultural Australia

ABSTRACTThe relationship between ethnicity and cultural and social capital has been taken up by several scholars in terms of questions of disadvantage. This paper considers the performance of race and ethnicity as positive capital among a group of Sudanese young people with refugee backgrounds in Brisbane, Australia. Based on ethnographic fieldwork, I demonstrate young people's adaptation of cultural associations in their hybridized and essentialized self-representations. In particular, I explore my informants’ use of hip hop music and style as resources in performance. Much of young people's engagement with capital in performance enables their relatively overt and self-conscious process of clarifying who they are in relationship to one another, often with particular reference to race and ethnicity. Their engagement with globally relevant mediums is indicative of young people's agency in defining their own lives in the context of the political and moral framework of Australian multiculturalism.

‘It's like a bag of pick and mix – you don't know what you are going to get’: young people's experience of neurofibromatosis Type 1

To explore the day-to-day experience of young people living with neurofibromatosis type 1 in the UK, focusing on the role that appearance plays in this experience. neurofibromatosis type 1 is a genetic condition, which is highly variable and unpredictable. It can result in varying degrees of visible difference (disfigurement). Both the effect of NF1 on appearance and its uncertainty can prove particularly difficult for those affected. However, very little research to date has investigated the psychosocial impact of neurofibromatosis type 1 on young people or their experiences of managing it. Exploratory qualitative interview study. Nine young people aged 14-24, with a confirmed diagnosis of neurofibromatosis type 1, took part in semi-structured interviews between March-September 2011. Interview transcripts were thematically analysed. Three key themes were identified from the data: (1) 'Different things to different people' reflecting the variability in the condition; (2) 'Relationships and reactions' relating to individuals' social experience; and (3) 'Understanding and misunderstanding' reflecting participants' experiences with organizations and social structures. Findings suggest a need for further research to explore young people's adaptation and management of neurofibromatosis type 1. In particular, raising awareness and understanding of the condition among professionals and in the general public was an important issue for young people. In addition, access to trustworthy information about neurofibromatosis type 1 and practical advice to support adjustment to an altered appearance and managing stigma experiences are highlighted as areas to be considered further.

Adaptive preference, justice and identity in the context of widening participation in higher education

Cultures of low aspirations, and more particularly young people's adaptation to them, are often presented as the major obstacle to an economic development agenda which requires more higher-level skills and a social agenda which is about enabling people from ‘non-traditional’ backgrounds to go to university. The article analyses and discusses some of the different sorts of constraints on the choices which we make and which may become unconsciously internalised and so constitute our adaptive preference. It argues, however, that all choice is significantly adaptive and has its roots in a self which neither in its development nor in its current agency is detached from the social context in which it has been constructed, with which it identifies and from which that identity itself derives many of its features. Finally the article discusses briefly the grounds on which intervention in the life of such a chooser might be justified and some implications for interventionist strategies which are sensitive to such a socially embedded view of the self.

What resources matter to young people: The relationship between resources and coping style

AbstractA modified version of the conservation of Resources Evaluation (CORE) developed to measure adult resources to cope with stress was applied to young people. In this exploration of the relationship between the resources identified by young people and their coping styles, a sample of 172 secondary students completed the modified version of the Conservation of Resources Evaluation (CORE) and the long version of the Adolescent Coping Scale, focussed on a specific concern (ACS). The modified instrument was validated in the study, and a relationship was found between the degree to which students held the resources under consideration and the coping styles they used. Young people high in resources tended to use productive ACS strategies, while those young people with fewer resources report using fewer and more nonproductive ACS strategies. A resources approach to young people's adaptation to their circumstances has educational and therapeutic implications.
