Implementing Content-Based Instruction in Online ESP Course within the System of Professional Training of Future Officers

The article examines the capabilities of content-based instruction (CBI) within the system of professional training of future officers of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine, specifically within the online English for Specific Purposes (ESP) course. The authors argue that nowadays, due to the quarantine restrictions and ongoing war initiated by Russia, it is crucial to enhance the border guards’ foreign language competence through a distance learning system. The study showed positive results in applying the CBI strategy to deliver an ESP course. This approach contributes immensely to developing context-appropriate language competence, boosts motivation-driven engagement, and increases retention and long-term academic success rates. The course content includes such topics as intercultural communication, illicit trafficking of radiological and nuclear materials, human trafficking, and fundamental rights. To deliver the content of the CBI course, the authors had to consider its online format and work out such learning activities as reading and listening to authentic job-related content, completing online interactive activities, and engaging in case-studying and problem-solving activities. The course results showed a considerable improvement in learners’ ability to effectively communicate in English within the professional border guard context, use the foreign language to build knowledge and skills around human values, recognise, analyse, and solve various border-related incidents involving topics covered in the course. The effectiveness of the online ESP course studied based on CBI has shown that implementing this approach in online education deserves recognition and acceptance.

Feeling Supported as a Remote Worker: The Role of Support from Leaders and Colleagues and Job Satisfaction in Promoting Employees' Work-Life Balance.

Due to the increasing use of remote work, understanding the dynamics of employee support and its implications for job satisfaction and work-life balance is crucial. Utilizing the Conservation of Resources (COR) theory as a theoretical framework, this research investigated how feeling supported by leaders and colleagues at work fosters work-life balance and job satisfaction among remote employees. The study involved 635 remote workers (females = 61%, mean age, 46.7, SD = 11) from various service-based industries and public administration in Italy. Results from the structural equation model showed a total mediating effect of job satisfaction in the link between colleague support and work-life balance (χ2(22) = 68.923, p = 0.00, CFI = 0.973, TLI = 0.955, RMSEA = 0.059 (90% CI = 0.044-0.075, p = 0.158), SRMR = 0.030), emphasizing the role of interpersonal relationships within the workplace in enhancing remote workers' job satisfaction and, consequently, their work-life balance. Contrary to expectations, the study found no significant direct or indirect link between leader support and work-life balance. This research highlights the significance of fostering strong social connections and ensuring employee satisfaction to promote well-being and work-life balance in remote work arrangements.

Association between work environment changes due to the COVID-19 pandemic and post-traumatic stress disorder in Japanese workers during the emergency declaration.

This study investigated the association between COVID-19 pandemic-related work environment changes and suspected post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in Japanese workers. A web survey of 1104 workers was conducted in Japan between February 24 and March 2, 2021. The Japanese version of the Impact of Event Scale-Revised and questions regarding work environments and COVID-19 pandemic-related lifestyle changes were used. PTSD was suspected in 19.7% of respondents and was significantly higher in men (22.2%) than in women (17.2%). Being older and having an independent business were associated with decreased suspected PTSD risk. Longer online work hours, decreased sleep duration, and alcoholism were associated with increased suspected PTSD risk. When stratified by sex, long online work hours and fewer years of service were associated with increased suspected PTSD risk in men. An association between alcoholism and suspected PTSD was also observed in men. Younger age and decreased sleep duration were significantly associated with suspected PTSD in women. Younger men with shorter work service duration were particularly vulnerable to pandemic-related PTSD, emphasizing the risks associated with long online work hours and alcoholism in men. Decreased sleep duration was a PTSD predictor in both sexes, suggesting its importance in PTSD prevention strategies for workers.

Asking students how to best teach statistics virtually: results of focus group discussions

ABSTRACT Objective The unique circumstances of COVID-19 have raised questions of best practices for how to teach statistics virtually. The present study evaluated which characteristics of statistics learning activities in the virtual environment increase undergraduate psychology students’ (a) engagement, (b) satisfaction, and (c) knowledge of statistics. Method Semi-structured focus groups (N = 13 participants, aged 21–58, 64.3% female, 28.6% male, 7.1% gender fluid) were conducted. The focus group conversations were transcribed and analysed using reflexive thematic analysis. Results The findings indicate three main themes: catering to/supporting external students, why learning statistics online does not work, and how to make teaching and learning statistics online work. Social norms that prioritise time efficiency over engagement and interaction mean that the immediacy of learning and engaging with an instructor is often lost virtually. Suggestions for how to improve teaching and learning statistics online centred on readily accessible content, statistical software access, a teaching delivery that is methodical and flexible, immediacy of instructor response, and prioritising student-student and student-instructor connection. Conclusion These findings illustrate key challenges specific to teaching and learning statistics virtually, with real implications for how to better design and implement related curriculum.

“I was told I either came back or I lost my job”: a qualitative study of the experiences of Australian women navigating the return-to-work following early pregnancy loss

ABSTRACT Early pregnancy loss, defined as pregnancy loss prior to 20 weeks’ gestation, occurs in about one in five pregnancies. Although there has been research on women’s experiences of healthcare and social support following miscarriage, research into workplace support is relatively limited. In this study, we explored women’s experiences of returning to work following early pregnancy loss, drawing on data from semi-structured interviews with 13 Australian women. Thematic analysis generated three main themes: returning to work too soon, decisions about disclosure and the importance of a flexible workplace. Findings revealed that return to work can be a difficult process to navigate, with many reporting feeling pressured to return to work. While disclosure of their miscarriage enabled women to feel supported by their colleagues and connect to those with a similar experience, they often found disclosure challenging. Flexibility with leave, return-to-work arrangements and role adjustments were highly valued and helped women return to work. Findings revealed that workplace context and culture were important in the extent to which women felt supported by their workplace. This suggests that there may be a need for structural workplace changes to improve women's experiences of returning to work following early pregnancy loss.

From the table to the sofa: The remote work revolution in a context of crises and its consequences on work attitudes and behaviors

AbstractIn recent years educational professionals experienced a sudden shift to online work requiring them to adapt rapidly to the new digital landscape. This shift has raised concerns about employees’ health issues and the role of organizational support, as they can have a profound effect on employees’ attitudes to work. However, despite their importance, there is a dearth of empirical evidence to ascertain whether or to what extent they impact educational professionals’ job satisfaction, work engagement and turnover intention. This paper aims to address this deficit. A sample of 288 remote working education professionals in Brazil was analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) techniques. We found that health complaints and organizational support have distinct effects on education professionals’ job satisfaction, engagement and turnover intention. In addition, our results reveal that job satisfaction and engagement have an impact on turnover intention. The results emphasize the importance of providing adequate support to education professionals who work remotely to cultivate a healthier and more productive work environment. These findings contribute valuable insights that may assist organizations in enabling effective remote work practices and ensure a positive work experience for education professionals.

Candida albicans - relationship with prosthetic stomatitis

Introduction: The oral cavity is the permanent residence of various types of microorganisms that live in complex ecosystems,which are not yet sufficiently researched. The normal oral flora always undergoes changes, which depend on many factors:food, immunological factors, hygiene and all the changes that occur during life in the oral cavity. One of the most frequent reasons for these changes is the use of new materials in the mouth, whether they are tooth fillings or fixed or mobile prosthetic works. The spread of prosthetic stomatitis is a long-standing problem among wearers of mobile prostheses. Colonization by Candida spp is of particular clinical importance, in most patients who have encountered prosthetic stomatitis and the presence of Candida spp has been determined. the dominant species is Candida Albicans.Local factors can cause the transformation of Candida albicans from non-pathogenic to pathogenic microorganisms.

EXPERIENCE OF USING CLOUD SERVICES FOR TEAMWORK BETWEEN SUPERVISOR AND GRADUATE STUDENTS

Given the recent events in the world in general and in Ukraine in particular, in the context of the pandemic caused by the COVID-19 virus infection and the full-scale military invasion of Ukraine, they contributed to the transition of all activities of the educational process to online mode. However, working with postgraduate students still required online work, as practice shows that a significant number of postgraduate students work full-time, and it is very difficult to choose a time that suits both parties. Therefore, there is a problem of finding new opportunities and prospects for using digital technologies for teamwork between supervisors and their Ph.D. students. Based on their own experience, the authors propose to use the following Google Cloud services in the complex: Google Drive, Google Docs, Google Sheet, Google Slide, Google Form, Google Meet, and Google Calendar. The advantages of using such cloud services for the joint work of a supervisor and a postgraduate student are presented. In addition to the proposed Google services for high-quality collaboration, the authors substantiate the expediency of using intelligent maps. The possibilities of using intelligent maps in the work of a supervisor and a postgraduate student are presented. In addition, communication with postgraduate students and management of their activities play an important role in the work of a supervisor. For this type of work, we offer the Trello project management tool. The expedient and pedagogically balanced use of digital technologies in the joint work of supervisors and postgraduate students will help to improve the quality of postgraduate research and increase the productivity of postgraduate students' work on their research. It has been established that the professional development of supervisors working with graduate students still does not receive sufficient attention. The pilot program of advanced training of Ph.D. students' supervisors "Innovative Supervisor", which was implemented in May 2023, is presented.

Online therapy with families - what can families tell us about how to do this well? A qualitative study assessing families' experience of remote Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy compared to face-to-face therapy.

Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy (DDP) is a family-based therapy for adopted children aiming to achieve secure attachment between the child and parent. Due to restrictions under the COVID-19 pandemic, delivery of DDP transitioned from face-to-face to online methods. This study aimed to explore families experience of online DDP compared to face-to-face DDP, looking at the advantages and disadvantages of remote delivery methods and the implications this has on future service delivery for clinicians. Semi-structured interviews with 6 families were conducted online. Analysis of transcripts using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) revealed four superordinate themes: environment and child engagement, non-verbal communication, travel and familiarity with remote interactions. Parents recognised the influence the physical and online environment had on their child's engagement levels, however, varied in their experience and hence preference of delivery method. All families emphasised the importance of non-verbal communication within DDP sessions and majority highlighted this may be lost online. For families who travelled to face-to-face DDP, car journeys provided a unique opportunity to decompress and reflect after sessions. For families where travel is unfeasible, online DDP was a lifeline, demonstrating the ability of remote therapy to widen access to specialist healthcare. Familiarity with online work emerged as a strong indicator of positive attitudes towards remote DDP, especially if the previous experience is positive and the child is confident using technology. Overall, families differed greatly in their experience of remote and face-to-face DDP indicating a new approach must be undertaken with each family beginning therapy, ensuring it is unique and individual to their needs.

Artist’s perspectives and creative methods for online multi-sensory performances during and after COVID-19: a qualitative interview study

ABSTRACT The realm of multi-sensory performances engages various senses and frequently promotes audience participation, aiming to foster immersive and inclusive arts-based experiences. The evolution of this field saw accelerated advancements during the COVID-19 pandemic. This article aims to explore the creative methods choreographers employ to overcome the challenges of creating multi-sensory experiences for online or remote audiences. In doing so, this study emphasises exploring the intricacies of artistic methods rather than evaluating the effectiveness of specific methods. Engaging six international artists in dance, theatre, visual arts, and music, the research employs reflexive thematic analysis and an interpretivist stance. Artists used pre-recorded audio, live calls, apps, and sensory boxes to engage audiences. Creative methods encompassed the utilisation of imagination, co-presence, and various objects to recreate sensory experiences. The advantages of online work include increased accessibility, but challenges include the lack of shared physical space, which can affect the mental well-being of artists and hinder collaboration during rehearsals. The study explores the complexities of creating online or remote multi-sensory experiences, providing practical guidance for artists navigating the evolving online artistic expression landscape. It contributes to the richness of practice research and enhances the broader discourse on immersive and participatory experiences.

Надомна робота і дистанційна робота: методологічний аспект розмежування понять нетрадиційних форм організації праці

The article aims to characterize home and distance work and establish the distinction between these concepts, considering the methodological aspect. The author notes that the pandemic of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19), which swept the world in 2020, as well as the full-scale armed aggression against Ukraine on February 24, 2022— acted as a catalyst for legislation on non-standard forms of employment because the usual form of employment with the performance of work at the employer’s location began to threaten the employee’s life and health. The genesis of the legal regulation of home and remote work is considered, emphasizing that, in essence, the legislator initially reduced two concepts to a synonymous understanding. The legal constructions of home and remote work are analyzed by establishing their features. It was concluded that homework and remote work are different legal phenomena and different forms of labor organization, the demand for which has increased many times over the last five years. The main conceptual difference between these forms of work organization is that home work is characterized by what is performed by the employee at his place of residence or in other premises defined by him, which are characterized by the presence of a fixed zone. Here, there is no possibility of performing work on the employer’s territory or premises. Remote work involves the performance of work by an employee outside the workplace or territory of the employer, in any place of the employee’s choice, without a fixed area for the performance of work by the employee. Attention is focused on the different legal nature and essential features of these forms of labor organization. It is substantiated that the clear distinction between the concepts of home and remote work, which is finally contained in the Labor Code of Ukraine, generally corresponds to the methodology of the science of labor law, considers the achievements of scientists in the field of labor law and the different nature of these concepts. That is, the current codified act on labor contains ordered definitions and does not differ in legal equilibrium. It is also summarized that the current definitions of home and remote work no longer allow for confusion in these categories and, therefore, reduce the risk of violation of the labor rights of employees, providing a legal basis for exercising their right to work in less dangerous conditions, which are typical for work at an employer’s company, when the entire workforce is gathering. Keywords: right to work, labor relations, legal regulation, employment contract, employee, employer, labor rights, employment, home work, remote work, remote worker.
