Causes of Abroad Study in Higher Education from Nepal

This study explores the factors that motivate Nepali students to study abroad as well as the obstacles they face in order to understand this phenomenon. Every year, the number of students going to study abroad from Nepal is increasing. Considering this situation, this study tries to find out why Nepali students choose to pursue their higher education overseas. A quantitative approach using surveys was used to acquire opinions from one hundred Nepali students. The findings indicate a significant propensity to study overseas in order to advance professionally, advance personally and obtain better employment prospects. Concerns regarding Nepal’s political unrest and lack of employment opportunities also play a role in decision-making for abroad study. These results highlight the complex interplay between socio-political, economic and personal factors when influencing decisions about educational migration. In order to meet the various needs of Nepali students and improve the regional educational system, policymakers and educational institutions must have a thorough understanding of these dynamics. Considering all things, the study adds to the conversation about globalization, educational mobility and the goals of young people in Nepal in an increasingly interconnected world.

Виртуальная коммуникация как ведущий формат социального общения молодежи

The features of the communicative behavior of young people in the network discursive space are considered. The purpose of the study is to assess the characteristic linguistic features of young people in social networks. The research material was the data of a questionnaire aimed at identifying the motives and goals of young people in network communication. About 150 people (students of different faculties and courses) were interviewed. An anonymous survey was conducted by 100 schoolchildren (the age of teenagers ranged from 12 to 17 years). On the youth platforms of the Runet, data from Internet discussions and comments from communication participants are collected. The results of the study showed that the reconstruction of the portrait of the linguistic personality of a young user of social networks is associated with the following factors. Firstly, a special digital linguistic personality is being formed in the Internet space. It acts as a synthesis of a real linguistic personality with its constructed image. It has its own language features. They are revealed in a new vocabulary, modified by the youth itself, slang. A modern student in the context of social networks has a synthesis of two spheres – educational and communicative. The vocabulary of a modern teenager is reduced to simple colloquial expressions, often profanity (obscene words), jargon. The speech of teenagers has become very everyday and real. Most words of modern slang have several features: these are mostly abbreviated and borrowed words. The dynamism of the modern world is reflected in the very frequent use of nouns with event meaning and verbs. Secondly, against this background, the text is increasingly accompanied by illustrations, stickers, emoticons and many others. The importance of social networks for the self-expression of young people is emphasized.

Economic activity of youth in conditions of national challenges: economic stagnation, pandemic, martial law

Introduction. Employment for a person is a key issue of life. For young people, it acquires a much more important aspect, because it is young people who form new features of the future labor market. In the process of employment in the labor market, young workers can become a new drop of ideas, changes, they demonstrate their mobility quite easily, at the same time, they often cause concern among employers due to lack of experience or its complete absence or lack of patience, which reduces their competitiveness in front of more experienced competitors. Theoretical and applied problems related to changing the model of youth employment for the sake of economic growth and development in Ukraine need scientific attention. Goal. Determination of youth employment trends, their value orientations and prioritization of modern skills and abilities in the conditions of stagnation of the national economy, pandemic and martial law in Ukraine. Method. The theoretical-methodological toolkit and surveying methods are applied – interviewing young people about their employment experience; statistical – processing and analysis of questionnaire data, as well as employment center materials; graphic and tabular – strengthening the visual presentation of the material and data obtained in the research process; generalization and abstract-logical when formulating conclusions and recommendations. Results. The article examines the problematic issues of the youth labor market, which require priority solutions in the context of modern challenges. A comparison was made in the temporal dimension and the most important personal values, life priorities and goals of young people were singled out, which, together with the priority of modern skills and abilities, are the most in demand on the labor market in the conditions of a pandemic and martial law. The trends of young people's demand for the choice of a profession, which they consider promising and highly paid and which they would like to master in order to achieve success and material well-being, are considered. The importance of the reasons that can prevent youth from getting a job in Ukraine in the received profession in today's conditions has been analyzed and determined. The main sources of job search, which are the most effective for young people, have been established, including Internet resources and personal contacts. The key tasks that need to be solved in the labor market of Ukraine in the medium term in order to form a national model of youth policy are outlined.

Cognitive strengths in first episode psychosis: a thematic analysis of clinicians\u2019 perspectives

BackgroundCognitive deficits are associated with poor functional outcomes in individuals recovering from a first episode of psychosis (FEP). Existing treatments that target cognitive deficits in FEP may enhance cognitive function, but improvements to real-world functioning are less consistent. Furthermore, these treatments may not adequately address the personal recovery goals of young people attending FEP services. A novel cognitive strengths-based approach may overcome these shortcomings.MethodsThis qualitative study used semi-structured interviews to explore clinicians’ (N = 12) perspectives toward the potential development of a cognitive strengths-based assessment or treatment in FEP. The interviews were analysed using thematic analysis.ResultsFive higher-order themes emerged: (1) pro-strengths attitude despite unfamiliarity and minimal use, (2) default to a cognitive deficit lens, (3) potential benefits of a cognitive strengths approach, (4) potential risks and barriers, and (5) considerations for successful implementation. While clinicians acknowledged their current deficit approach, they supported implementing a cognitive strengths assessment or treatment and highlighted their potential benefits for the personal recovery needs of young people with FEP.ConclusionsThese findings suggest that a deficit-focused approach to cognitive function amongst clinicians may be common practice in FEP services. Nevertheless, a cognitive strengths approach was viewed favourably by clinicians and may represent a novel method of supporting personal recovery. Thus, the design and implementation of a cognitive strengths approach may be worthwhile. Future exploration of other stakeholder perspectives, such as young people with FEP, is essential.

SPIRITUAL AND MORAL VALUES OF A PERSON IN RUSSIAN SOCIETY IN XX–XXI CENTURIES: comparative analysis

Introduction. Values determine the direction of development of society, its strategic goals and public policy. The successful functioning and development of the state is possible when its traditional values are taken into account. In Russia in the XX–XXI centuries several times radically changed value paradigm. The strategic development of modern Russian society at a time when the interests, values and needs new to the Russian mentality come into conflict with the traditions, norms and rules established for centuries, requires a competent, scientifically sound approach to the system of formation of a person capable of bringing the country to the forefront in the period of globalization, hierarchy and fragmentation, resolving internal and external contradictions. In order to preserve the continuity of values from era to era, it is important to understand what the traditional basic values of Russian society are, how they evolved during the transition from one era to another, whether spiritual and moral values are a priority for Russians today. The purpose of the article is to identify and compare the priority values in different periods of development of Russian society – Imperial, Soviet and post-Soviet. Materials and Methods. The theoretical and methodological basis of the research is interdisciplinary, transdisciplinary, personal-activity and philosophical approaches. The analysis of values used the results of studies of various sciences: philosophy, psychology, sociology, and economics. Methods of practical research of values were: questionnaire survey, content analysis of documents. Results. On the basis of the conducted socio-philosophical analysis of scientific literature and documents of the Imperial, Soviet, post-Soviet periods, as well as sociological research of values and goals of young people, the basic values of the individual of different stages of development of Russian society are identified, their continuity is traced, a new constructive look at the changes in the value sphere during the changing epochs is proposed. Discussion and Conclusions. The transformation of values from epoch to epoch has an evolutionary character. Christian precepts and community of the Imperial period in the Soviet period were transformed into socialist values which in the post-Soviet period underwent destruction. In the modern public consciousness there is an awareness of the importance of the revival of spiritual and moral values, there is an expansion of their content, taking into account the changing conditions of domestic and world dynamics of development. Along with spiritual and moral values, family values form the basis of the Russian mentality. The importance of the family, despite the change in its form from community to personal family, did not weaken even in critical periods of national history. For the formation of a person capable of being successful in various spheres of life, to become the driving force of future world achievements, it is necessary to improve the system of national education: to put traditional spiritual and moral values in its basis and to add values aimed at the realization of the potential of the individual. Keywords: spiritual and moral values, family, personality, era, period, Imperial, Soviet, post-Soviet.

Intentions for professional realization for midwife interns from the Medical university of Varna

AIM : The aim of this paper is to observe the motivation when choosing the Midwife program and the intention for professional development of midwife interns at the Medical University of Varna. MATERIALS AND METHODS : The methods used were: - Sociological method - a survey, involving midwife interns at the Medical University of Varna, graduated in 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015 (75 individuals); - Documentary method - analysis of appropriate literature and academic documentation. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION : The majority of the respondents had enrolled in the Midwife program by their own choice. Midwife interns consider that they have gained the theoretical and practical knowledge needed for a solid start in the profession. While in training at the Medical University of Varna, the students have de­termined that education and self-development in the field are the key for a successful professional realization. Students show the intention to participate in various forms of ongoing and continuous trainings, which is a se­rious commitment to public health and the profession itself. CONCLUSIONS : The university degree is not just a goal for young people, but also a well-determined choice and self-commitment to society. Midwives are specialists in their own field of expertise and in their range of activities when providing care for female reproductive health.

Training the peer facilitator: using participatory theatre to promote engagement in peer education

‘Training the peer facilitator: using participatory theatre to promote engagement in peer education’ examines the role of participatory theatre in a peer education setting in relation to the goal of young people engaging and empowering their peers to create new knowledge together. Extending research about the use of applied theatre conventions (specifically Michael Rohd's activating scenes) in peer education, my discussion examines the integral role of the facilitator within the aesthetic framework of the applied theatre workshop. In the context of peer education, this facilitator is called a peer facilitator: a young person who bears the responsibility of leading the workshop. This paper examines the specific challenges that peer facilitators faced in the context of my thesis project (MA in Applied Theatre, CUNY). I also present a method for measuring participants' aesthetic engagement in participatory theatre and future recommendations for implementing theatre in a peer education setting.

The goals of young people in school‐based counselling and their achievement of these goals

Background: Levels of goal agreement between therapists and adult clients have been shown to relate to therapeutic outcomes. Understanding clients' goals for therapy, therefore, is an important area of study. Aims: The purpose of this study was to investigate the therapeutic goals that young people have in school‐based counselling, and the extent to which different types of goals are achieved. Method: The study is a post‐hoc analysis of data collected from two pilot randomised controlled trials (RCT) using the Goal Based Outcome (GBO) tool, in which 73 participants were allocated to either a counselling group or a waitlist control group. Thematic analysis was used to identify the main types of goals young people had; with descriptive quantitative analysis to identify the prevalence of these goals, and multi‐level analysis to identify whether some goals were attained to a greater extent than others. Results: The most frequent type of goals identified by young people related to increasing self‐confidence and self‐acceptance, followed by controlling or reducing anger, improving relationships with family, and increasing feelings of happiness. No significant relationship was found between the type of goal and the extent to which they were attained in counselling. Conclusion: Young people in counselling are particularly concerned with improving their self‐confidence, and this suggests a somewhat different focus to the counselling work than that which emerges from counsellors' reports of presenting and predominant issues. This suggests that school‐based counsellors should be mindful of clients' particular therapeutic goals.

Moral development as a crucial treatment goal for young people in institutional care: a critical comparison between milieu therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy

PurposeThis article aims to analyze and discuss the role of moral development in treatment of behavior problems and, further, to describe differences and similarities between two different methods – milieu therapy (MT) and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) – in terms of addressing criminogenic needs and promoting moral development.Design/methodology/approachBy performing a literature review, the study shows that even though there are both pros and cons using MT and CBT in institutional care, relationships strong enough to restructure a young person's moral reasoning require time, and involves not only the young person's parents and social network members, but also a genuine therapeutic alliance with clinical staff at the institution.FindingsThese are central factors articulated in both CBT and MT, but are more explicitly expressed in MT. The results presented in this article highlight some important practical implications: in order to redevelop moral self and societal values, an overly narrow focus on criminogenic needs might exclude other components or processes of treatment and behavioral change. Together with a treatment program that views close staff‐resident interactions as of secondary importance, this could impair the possibility to obtain positive and long‐lasting treatment results.Originality/valueIn practice, moral development itself should be considered as an overall treatment goal, integrated into the daily life at the institution, 24 hours a day. Finally, the possibility to work with moral development in institutional settings is discussed.

Youth Perspectives on Violence and Injustice

This introduction presents the theoretical, methodological, and practical rationale for “Youth perspectives on violence and injustice,” a special issue of the Journal of Social Issues. Our approach to youth violence research raises questions about what counts as normative youth behavior and broadens the nature of inquiry so that understandings and goals of young people, especially those from discriminated groups, contribute to re-defining the problem and its analysis. We also underscore how the articles in this issue illuminate youth perspectives via novel theoretical and methodological tools. After presenting the organizing themes of social justice and development: youth perspectives through history, culture, and community, youth confronting public institutions, and youth transformations through relationships, we preview themes in the integrative summary. Questioning “Violence” and “Youth”

Employment and young people with a mental illness: a review

The majority of young people with a mental illness experience significant challenges in obtaining regular occupation. Many of the mental health-related services provided do not address occupational needs. Employment can be a realistic goal for young people with mental illness but there needs to be a shift in focus from the way services have traditionally been offered.

The significance of employment as a goal for young people with recorded Special Educational Needs

Abstract This paper considers the significance and validity of employment as a goal for young people with special educational needs. It begins by discussing the salience of employment as a key stage in the transition to adulthood. Drawing on an SOED‐funded study of the post‐16 experiences of young people with special educational needs, perceptions of the importance of employment held by young people and their parents are explored. These are contrasted with the views of professionals. The paper concludes that, in line with the aspirations of the young people, preparation for employment should be regarded as one of a number of valid educational objectives. However, the employment prospects of young people with special educational needs are currently bleak and are affected by a range of factors including the personality of the young person, the nature of their disability, the degree of family support and the availability of employment as well as the quality of their educational experience. Employment prospec...
