Ecosocial Autonomy as an Educational Ideal

Autonomy – or rational self-control – is not only fashionable as an educational ideal, but also in present-day economics, ethics, and society in general. However, the concept of traditional autonomy is problematic because it privileges humans and treats the rest of nature primarily as resources fit only for human exploitation. This anthropocentrism has led human beings to see themselves as superior to nature and separate. Ecosocial autonomy is an attempt to redress the balance, by contextualising autonomy so it incorporates the idea of self-control, while taking into account the impact of humankind on our surrounding ecosystems. Our formulation of ecosocial autonomy is an extension of relational autonomy – based mainly on ecological, ecosocial, and ecofeminist ideas. Ecosocial autonomy is thus contextualized within a multispecies society which includes our interdependencies with other living creatures. Whereas the individualist idea of autonomy suggests a human being owes nothing to society, ecosocial autonomy acknowledges the need to cultivate aspects of self-sufficiency that combine reason, emotional maturity, and will. A competitive society presupposes individual autonomy and the need to defend oneself. Ecosocial autonomy advocates a form of social interaction that diverts the human energy misspent on individual competition to mutually beneficial collaboration.

An Analysis of Shakespeare’s Hamlet Through Terry Eagleton’s Conception of Tragedy

This paper offers a comprehensive analysis of William Shakespeare's Hamlet, employing Terry Eagleton's conception of tragedy from his book Sweet Violence. It examines how the play achieves excellence through wisdom, intellectual depth, and emotional maturity, exposing the sublimity of human effort in creating an enduring experience for the audience. The paper delves into the elements of sacrifice, the dilemma of the tragic hero, and the concept of tragedy as a genre with emotional impact, showcasing the influential nature of the play. Furthermore, it explores the intertwining of external accidents with the hero's struggles and the balance of universality and particularity in evoking sympathy and engagement within the audience. Additionally, it discusses Eagleton’s notion of tragedy as a means to offer political hope and belief in justice and redemption, even in the darkest of times. The analysis examines Hamlet's fit in both traditionalist and democratic perspectives and finally delves into the Greek concept of the pharmakos, highlighting why Hamlet's suffering leads to emotional cleansing or katharsis for the audience.

Supportive Leadership Model in Vocational High School: A Structural Equation Modelling Approach

This study aims to explore the leadership effectiveness that promotes Vocational High School (VHS) revival. The Kerlinger survey method was used to test the notion of emotional maturity, position power, helpful behaviour, and leadership effectiveness. The sample of 252 responders included 84 VHS principals and 168 VHS teachers. According to the confirmatory factor analysis, emotional affirmation established the construct of emotional maturity, position power was best developed coercive power, and readiness to explain the program. Personal traits are the most powerful predictor of leadership effectiveness and the contribution of position power that directly influences helpful behaviour is 4.92%. The contribution of position power to direct leadership effectiveness is 5.19%, and the contribution of supportive conduct to direct leadership effectiveness is 6.05%. The leadership model discovered in this study is innovative that it can empirically explain the dominating elements that compose the latent variables: emotional maturity, position power, supportive leadership style, and leadership effectiveness. These findings greatly impact how leadership science is developed in education, especially vocational.

Feature Signature Discovery for Autism Detection: An Automated Machine Learning Based Feature Ranking Framework.

Autism spectrum disorder is the most used umbrella term for a myriad of neuro-degenerative/developmental conditions typified by inappropriate social behavior, lack of communication/comprehension skills, and restricted mental and emotional maturity. The intriguing factor of this disorder is attributed to the fact that it can be detected only by close monitoring of developmental milestones after childbirth. Moreover, the exact causes for the occurrence of this neurodevelopmental condition are still unknown. Besides, autism is prevalent across individuals irrespective of ethnicity, genetic/familial history, and economic/educational background. Although research suggests that autism is genetic in nature and early detection of this disorder can greatly enhance the independent lifestyle and societal adaptability of affected individuals, there is still a great dearth of information to support the statement of proven facts and figures. This research work places emphasis on the application of automated machine learning incorporated with feature ranking techniques to generate significant feature signatures for the early detection of autism. Publicly available datasets based on the Q-chat scores of individuals across diverse age groups-toddlers, children, adolescents, and adults have been employed in this study. A machine learning framework based on automated hyperparameter optimization is proposed in this work to rank the potential nonclinical markers for autism. Moreover, this study aimed at ranking the AutoML models based on Mathew's correlation coefficient and balanced accuracy via which nonclinical markers were identified from these datasets. Besides, the feature signatures and their significance in distinguishing between classes are being reported for the first time in autism detection. The proposed framework yielded ∼90% MCC and ∼95% balanced accuracy across all four age groups of autism datasets. Deep learning approaches have yielded a maximum of 92.7% accuracy on the same datasets but are limited in their ability to extract significant markers, have not reported on MCC for unbalanced data, and cannot adapt automatically to new data entries. However, AutoML approaches are more flexible, easier to implement, and provide automated optimization, thereby yielding the highest accuracy with minimal user intervention.

Barriers to and requirements for a successful transition in inflammatory bowel disease from pediatric to adult care in Greece.

The incidence of pediatric-onset inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is rising, while the relapsing and often severe nature of IBD, and its impact on emotional and pubertal development and social maturation underline the need for a successful transition from pediatric to adult care. A web-based survey was distributed via the Hellenic Group for the Study of IBD, the Hellenic Society of Gastroenterology Department of North Greece, and the Hellenic Society of Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition. The questionnaire was answered by 98 individuals (78 adult and 20 pediatric gastroenterologists, out of 357 and 30, respectively). The response rate was 25.3%. A higher response rate was found among pediatric (66.6%) vs. adult gastroenterologists 21.8% (P<0.001). Pediatric gastroenterologists believed that the appropriate age for transition was either 16-17 or 17-18 years, whereas 59% of the adult gastroenterologists chose the age group of 16-17 years. Both adult and pediatric gastroenterologists stated that the most significant initiators for a successful transition process were cognitive maturity and patients' ability to manage their disease independently. The lack of communication and collaboration between pediatric and adult gastroenterologists was the main barrier to the transition process, as identified by adult gastroenterologists (27.7%). In contrast, 43.5% of pediatric gastroenterologists suggested that differences in the follow up of patients with IBD between pediatric and adult clinics were the main restrictions. These results highlight the need for a transitional education program for pediatric IBD patients, and the importance of improving collaboration among adult and pediatric gastroenterologists.

МЕЛОДРАМА В СОВРЕМЕННОЙ ПОДРОСТКОВОЙ ПРОЗЕ О ХОЛОКОСТЕ: CТАНОВЛЕНИЕ ЭМПАТИЧЕСКОГО ЧИТАТЕЛЯ

The article is devoted to issues of empathetic reader formation in YA prose about the Holocaust. These texts’ emotional impact has often been seen as additional and less critical. In the last decade, there has been a significant shift in the appreciation of children’s literature about the Holocaust as a tool for creating and cultivating empathy as a basis for creating a society in which sympathy and empathy become an essential part of everyday existence. This empathetic connection between the reader and the character in a literary work, understanding the behavior of one’s hero/heroine in extreme circumstances, and practicing empathy should become a new school of emotional maturation. Using the examples of novels by Dutch author Peter van Gestel and American writer R. J. Palacio, the article analyzes the stages by which narrative empathy is formed — from cognitive, empathy, based on knowledge of historical facts, to emotional empathy, which arises as the reader identifies with literary characters situated in a specific historical context. The characters’ personal history is described in the mode of melodramatic writing as a way of depicting a private, intimate space, creating an alternative model to describe the great cataclysms of the world around the young reader.

Regression model of students subjective well-being learning at technical universities

In this article we will talk about students studying at the Institute of Economics and Management in construction (IEMC). The article studies the relationship between educational activity at the institute, social activity of students, student adaptation and the level of emotional intelligence and subjective well-being. The main methods used in our research are: interviewing, survey, testing based on Google forms, correlation and regression analysis. Modeling of parameters influencing the educational process has been carried out, taking into account the emotional maturity and adaptation of students of the IEMC, Kazan. The model was based on 16 factors, such as: understanding one’s own and others' emotions, managing one’s emotions, self-motivation, influencing the emotional state of others (manipulation), empathy, autonomy and a number of others. The result on regression statistics showed multiple R 0.7 and R-square 0.5. Calculations made by the authors show that 50% of the influence on the factor «subjective well-being» is due to parameters, and the remaining 50% require further research. The model calculated by the authors shows that the subjective well-being of bachelor students is based on personal growth, with the skills of self-regulation and the ability to arouse in other people the desired (usually positive) emotions. Subjective well-being is strongly affected by the inability to manage one’s emotions and the lack of self-acceptance.

Behavior strategies in conflict and emotional maturity of education undergraduates: Identifying relationships

Introduction. Consideration of behavioral strategies in difficult situations from the point of view of choosing an effective strategy for conflict resolution is associated with the issue of forming interpersonal interaction competencies. In our opinion, the emotional state of a person and the emotional maturity formed are of great importance in resolving conflict situations within the framework of effective interaction. The purpose of the study is to identify the correlations between the choice of behavior strategies in conflict and the emotional maturity of education undergraduates. Materials and Methods. The study involved 99 first-year undergraduates at the Ural State Pedagogical University. In order to identify respondents' orientation towards certain forms of behavior in a conflict situation, the Thomas-Kilmenn questionnaire was used. In order to identify the level and structural components of the individual's emotional maturity, the authors used O. S. Kocharyan and M.A. Piven’s inventory for emotional maturity assessment. Results. The results of the study confirmed the existence of correlations between the most frequently chosen strategies of behavior in conflict and the components of the emotional maturity of future teachers. The results of the empirical study also include the identification of three behavioral strategies in a conflict situation: individually oriented (high severity of the strategy of competition in conflict and low severity of the strategy of adaptation), passive-adaptive (a high degree of severity of the strategies of avoidance and adaptation and a low severity of the Rivalry strategy), reciprocity-oriented (a high severity of the compromise and cooperation strategies and a low severity of the Rivalry strategy). Conclusions. The results obtained can be used to design programs aimed at developing effective ways of interpersonal interaction.

A General Evaluation on the Piano Works of the Soviet Composer Dmitry Kabalevsky for Children and the Sample of the Piano Album “Thirty Pieces for Kids Op.27”

While it is aimed to form basic behaviors for students in piano education, it is important to develop piano playing skills in a way that will attract the attention of children, with materials suitable for the individual characteristics, age group, perception level, and level of the students. Therefore, it is necessary to choose a balanced and correct repertoire suitable for the level of the student. Choosing the appropriate repertoire is about a careful balancing of skills, physical competence, musical interest, pedagogical value, and the student's emotional maturity. There are many works written for this purpose in our country and the world. In this context, this study aims to examine the place of the piano album "30 pieces for children Op.27" in piano education by making a general evaluation on the piano works for children by Kabalevsky, who has made great contributions to piano education as a composer and educator. The research is a qualitative study and the relevant literature was examined through document analysis and Kabalevsky's piano albums for children, which are used in piano education, were reached. In addition, the composer's piano album “30 pieces for children Op.27” was examined and interpreted in terms of content and technical studies. As a result of the study, Kabalevsky's piano works for children in terms of gaining the behaviors that form the basis of piano education were evaluated and suggestions that could guide piano educators were tried to be developed. Furthermore, it is thought that these works will contribute to the use of piano education, to the introduction of the works, and to diversify the educational repertoire.

Average treatment effect of maternal prenatal tobacco smoking on offspring developmental vulnerability in early childhood

BackgroundEarly childhood developmental vulnerability has been closely related to the predictors of relatively good health, social and educational outcomes later in adulthood. However, the impacts of prenatal tobacco exposure on childhood developmental vulnerability have been rarely examined. Further, a few of the studies that have investigated maternal prenatal tobacco smoking and child developmental vulnerability have reported mixed results and there are currently no published estimates derived from causal epidemiological methods. MethodsWe conducted a retrospective population-based cohort study on the association between maternal prenatal tobacco smoking and developmental vulnerability in children born in Western Australia (WA). De-identified individual-level maternal, infant and birth records were obtained from the Midwives Notification System (MNS), a statutory record of all births in WA. WA register for Developmental Anomalies (WARDA) were also obtained from the WA Data Linkage. Records on early childhood developmental vulnerability at the median age of 5 years were obtained from the Australian Early Development Census (AEDC). We used a doubly robust estimator to estimate the causal effects. ResultsComplete data were available for 64,558 mothers-children's pairs. Approximately 16% of children were exposed to maternal prenatal tobacco smoking. Children exposed to maternal prenatal tobacco smoking were more likely to be classified as developmentally vulnerable/at-risk on the physical health and wellbeing (RR = 1.40, 95%CI:1.36–1.45), social competence (RR = 1.42, 95%CI: 1.38–1.47), emotional maturity (RR = 1.34, 95%CI:1.30–1.39), language and cognitive skills (RR = 1.50, 95%CI:1.45–1.54), and communication skills and general knowledge (RR = 1.37, 95%CI:1.33–1.42) domains. ConclusionMaternal prenatal exposure to tobacco may influence early childhood developmental vulnerability. Early intervention to quit tobacco smoking before becoming pregnant could potentially reduce later childhood developmental vulnerability on multiple domains.

EMOTIONAL BURNOUT IN THE PROFESSIONAL ACTIVITIES OF DOCTORS AND TEACHERS

The article analyzes the problem of emotional burnout in the professional activity of doctors and teachers, considers the concept of «emotional burnout», features of the professional activity of doctors and teachers. The feelings that lead to the development of emotional burnout syndrome have been identified. The phases of the syndrome are identified and the symptom complexes of these phases are described, such as a change in the dynamics of fatigue, a decrease in resistance to diseases, deterioration of emotional contacts, dulling of sensations. A group of factors contributing to the development of the syndrome, such as personal, role (social), and organizational factors, is singled out. Professionally significant properties of doctors and teachers are considered in detail: characteristics of nervous processes, individual-typological features, some of which spontaneously mobilize valuable qualities for professional activity, while compensating for others that prevent the achievement of the goal. Attention is paid to the place and role of work capacity in the formation of the burnout syndrome. The types are outlined and the phases/periods of performance are described, and their brief characteristics are provided. A comparison was made of the presence and characteristics of the studied syndrome in doctors and teachers. Significant differences were found between the levels and severity of the emotional burnout syndrome in representatives of the medical and pedagogical fields who participated in the study. Based on the obtained results, we can draw a conclusion about the differences in the levels of the studied syndrome among doctors and teachers, as well as about a higher level of expressiveness of the studied syndrome among doctors. It is proved that the phase of exhaustion is formed in the same way in doctors and teachers, while the phase of exhaustion is not formed in representatives of both fields. Personal qualities that facilitate adaptation to professional activity and reduce the process of «burnout» are indicated. Attention is drawn to the importance of the development of emotional maturity and the directions of professional help in case of emotional burnout.
