Does personality predict traveling abroad as indicated by mobile phone data? The idea of the mobile personality revisited

The present study examines the associations between the Five-Factor Model personality traits and the trips abroad over a period of 12 months in a sample of 349 adults by using Call Detail Records. Our findings show that the modern-day traveler is likely younger, open to new values (O6) and experiences (O4) and seeking novelty and excitement (E5). Higher Extraversion, especially higher levels of social dominance (E3) and energy (E4), and higher spontaneity (C6) also play a role in predicting how often people travel abroad and how many different countries they visit. Our findings indicate the importance of studying personality at a more fine-grained level and cautiously support the notion of the “mobile personality.”

Improving Argumentative Writing of Sixth-Grade Adolescents Through Dialogic Inquiry of Socioscientific Issues

This study investigated the effect of a four-week socioscientific issues (SSI)-based intervention on sixth-grade students’ argumentative writing and transferability of argument skills across topics. Students in three treatment classrooms engaged in an SSI unit on space exploration while students in three comparable classrooms continued regular space science lessons. Argumentation skills were assessed by individual decision letters about space exploration. Argument transfer was assessed by an essay to address a novel SSI. Treatment students wrote more elaborated decision letters with stronger arguments, relied less on personal ideas, and transferred argument skills to a novel SSI after the intervention. The implications of using SSI as a promising approach to integrating science and literacy learning for diverse adolescents were discussed.

Wooden buildings of Chita in the work of the first architects of the city

The article presents the results of a study conducted by the authors with the support of the Russian Science Foundation grant "Architects and engineers of the eastern outskirts of Russia (second half of the 19th - early 20th centuries)". The features of a significant layer of regional wooden architecture, preserved in the capital of the Trans-Baikal Territory - the city of Chita, are considered. Based on the materials of field surveys and the State Archives of the Trans-Baikal Territory, the preserved objects and original designs of a number of buildings and structures for various purposes were studied. The wooden architecture of the city is viewed through the prism of the activities of the first city architects and engineers, as well as other masters of the building art who received professional education in the leading architectural and engineering schools of central Russia, as well as specialists who did not have a specialized education, but received the right to carry out architectural and construction work after passing exams at the Ministry of Construction Affairs in St. Petersburg. As a result, a complete systematized picture of the historical evolution of the wooden architecture of Chita was compiled, which was formed under the influence of all-Russian architectural traditions, but at the same time had its own distinctive features associated with the specifics of the development of the region and the personal ideas of the masters of architectural and construction art, as well as customers of architecture of this type.

Arif Hidayah’s Authorship in the “Memories of Home”

Authorship is an attitude of a creative worker, which in this context is a photojournalist that can develop over time. In this study, researchers examine the form of ideas that exist in Arif Hidayah in visualizing the Tamansari community with the title “Memories of Home”. This study aims to determine the form of Arif Hidayah’s authorship in terms of aesthetic competence, personal implications and the meaning of Arif Hidayah himself in understanding substance. The researcher used qualitative research methods with an authorship case study approach. Data collection was carried out through in-depth interviews, observation and literature studies. The results showed that, (1) Arif Hidayah chose the type of composition, lighting and display in accordance with Arif Hidayah’s personal ideas, (2) Arif Hidayah’s personality has implications for creating the subject’s background within the scope of education, work, family and interests that is in Arif Hidayah to visualize the Tamansari community as a victim of eviction, (3) All meanings in visualizing the Tamansari community, Arif Hidayah always keeps the meaning in terms of the understanding that exists in Arif Hidayah, (4) The idea in Arif Hidayah’s photo project is the connection between his background ideas and Arif Hidayah’s mastery of the technical aspects of photography itself. These aspects are interconnected because Arif Hidayah’s imagination regarding the Tamansari community is based on memories and memories of his past, which are unconsciously conveyed through journalistic photography techniques in the “Memories of Home” project.

Truth and Eschatology in Paul Ricoeur’s Philosophy: Key Points for a Renewal of Education

The objective of this article is to highlight Paul Ricoeur’s proposal on the relationship between truth and the ‘eschatological horizon.’ This relationship can be identified in some key works of the author. We demonstrate the implications and consequences of this approach for the understanding and implementation of education in accordance with a strong idea of the human person.

Rukoprikladstvo (‘Manhandling’): from ‘Handwritten Signature’ to ‘Beating’

The article discusses the history of the semantic transformation of the compound word rukoprikladstvo (‘manhandling’) – from the meaning ‘handwritten signature’ in the business language of Medieval Russia to the meaning ‘beating’ in the modern common Russian language. The word rukoprikladstvo, derived from the stable combination ruku prilozhit (‘set one's hand to’), denoted the symbolic confirmation of an official text by placing a palm, previously smeared with ink, on a blank sheet, the reverse side of the document. The article stresses that the medieval idea of a Russian person about the state as a ‘house’ headed by a ‘father-sovereign’ left a peculiar imprint on the office work of pre-Petrine Russia. Thus, the reliability of the content of a business text was ensured, on the one hand, by the testimony of the closest relatives or respected people of the clan (‘poslukhi’) and on the other hand by the unwritten laws of Christian morality. Since the time of Peter the Great, who was oriented towards Western models of the ‘state machine’, many official formulas have forever moved into the national language, acquiring new meanings motivated by the original semantics of their lexical components. Without a historical digression into the ‘ritual’ features of this obligatory action when sealing a business transaction and, as a result, without considering the functioning of the combination ruku prilozhit' (’put a hand’) in the official writing of pre-Petrine and post-Petrine Russia, it is impossible to trace the meaningful evolution of the word ‘rukoprikladstvo’ to its modern meaning ‘inflict hand beatings’. The history of the expression ruku prilozhit' (‘set one's hand to’) and the word rukoprikladstvo – both in the command language and in common Russian life – testifies to the history of the Russian official language as a separate cultural phenomenon with its own unique destiny.

Remembering ‘69: Celebrities’ Letters Connected with the 5th ISFNR Congress (part 1)

민속놀이의 교육적 가치 탐색과 초등학교 민속놀이 활성화 방안

Objectives This study found that the importance and proportion of Korean folk play were decreasing in the 2015 revised curriculum, and tried to find ways to revitalize Korean folk play in school. For this, firstly, the Korean folk play’s educational values which were reflected in the curriculum documents and reflection aspect were examined. Based on this, strategies to revitalize Korean folk play in Elementary school were proposed.
 Methods The data such as previous studies related to Korean folk play, curriculum documents, etc were collected, and as the research method, the literature analysis method was applied.
 Results The educational values of Korean folk play were categorized into traditionality, artistry, playfulness, and enjoyment. The aspect of reflecting the educational value of Korean folk play was presented as a content element of the related area without an independent area during the 1st to 3rd curriculum. In the 4th to 6th curriculum, an independent content area was newly established. In the 7th curriculum, the activities by area were divided into mandatory and optional activities, so the examples of physical activity in Korean folk play increased. In the revised curriculum of 2007 and 2009, the independent small and middle areas of Korean folk play were established. In the 2015 revised curriculum, Korean folk play was deeply related to ideas of an educated person and key competencies of curriculum revision. In addition, it had a close relationship with Expressive movement ability and Athletic performance competence, which were the competency of Physical education competencies. Despite the organic relationship with the idea of an educated person and competencies, Korean folk play was gradually introduced as the content factor of the area, and the proportion of this decreased.
 Conclusions The ways to revitalize Korean folk play in Elementary school were as follows. First, to enhance the status of Korean folk play, expand the opportunities to choose Korean folk play. Second, teach Korean folk play by integrating or linking between subjects. Third, expand the opportunities to participate in Korean folk play such as linking Korean folk play with the 4th industrial revolution technology.

Метаморфозы идеи личности и среды в отечественном образовании: путь к Человеку

The article reveals the features of the transformation of the idea of personality in Russian education in a historical retrospective in the context of current social priorities, and also characterizes the dynamics of the role and place of the environment as a pedagogical tool. It is shown that the idea of personality in Russian education came out of Christianity and was influenced by free pedagogy at the beginning of the 20th century. In the future, this idea is subjected to severe ideological censorship. It is established that today the main challenge for education is the "social horizon of artificial values", simulacra (according to J. Baudrillard). The images of a person, which, in the spirit of the People's Commissariat of Education, Socialist Education and Proletkult, are purposefully formed by the media and network communication, are the result of manipulation of a person's emotions and his motivation. The complexity and uniqueness of the individual is lost. It is assumed that education should respond to this challenge by generating and implementing clear authentic goals for the de-velopment of the individual. The experience of history shows the possibility of embedding external utilitarian goals in education, but they are not effective in the context of the true development of the individual. Receiving today a social order for a unique and inimitable personality, the education system is untenable when traditional imperative education is used. The type of personality and its unification is opposed by the complexity of personality and its diversity. The paper traces the idea that the attitude towards the environment and its place in education is undergoing significant changes. The features of the use of personality-developing environmental tools are also different. The educa-tional environment, by definition, is intended to create opportunities for a person who exists exclusively in the modality of the possible (according to D.A. Leontiev). The educational environment acquires a qualitative difference when these possibilities are refracted through the personal principle, realizing a special way of human existence associated with personal functions.

Qualities of the dying experience of persons who access medical assistance in dying: A scoping review

Defining a “good death” is complex and grounded in diverse cultural, social, and personal factors. Although there is a significant body of literature exploring the broad concepts of death and dying, there is a dearth in literature that has explored what constitutes a good death for persons undergoing assisted dying such as Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD). In this scoping review of 19 articles, we explore dying experiences and what a good death entails for people accessing MAiD. Understanding personal values and ideas about positive dying experiences can guide patients, care partners, and clinicians in their preparation toward, and facilitation of, a good death experience particularly among persons who access MAiD.

Analysis of the basics of information theory

Nowadays, the fundamental concept of information is very controversial. On the one hand, it is widely used almost in all spheres and the number of publications on this topic is huge and is constantly growing; on the other hand, the concept of information is intangible and there is a problem of defining the term from the perspective of the philosophy and science, so there are different meanings of the term (messages, data, etc.). The term “information” is related to concepts that are adopted under legislative acts and regulations of Ukraine: information sphere (Law of Ukraine "On the Fundamentals of National Security", "Strategy for Ensuring State Security of Ukraine", "National Security Strategy of Ukraine", "Information Security Strategy of Ukraine"), information society (Information Security Strategy of Ukraine), information space (Law of Ukraine "On the National Security of Ukraine", "Information Security Strategy of Ukraine"), information resource (Law of Ukraine "On the Basic Principles of Ensuring Cybersecurity of Ukraine", "Cybersecurity Strategy of Ukraine"). The Law of Ukraine "On Information" No. 2658-XII dated 02.10.92 establishes the general legal principles for receiving, using, distribution, storing and securing information. However, such interpretation of the Law of Ukraine "On Information" is restricted, as the knowledge exchange between people hasn`t been taken into account. The goal of the paper is to research the approaches of leading scientists on the subject of the concept of information and to form individual approach based on the analysis. The analysis of the current state of the definition of the concept of information has revealed that some scientists classify information with the concept of “knowledge”, the meaning of which is not obvious; others introduce their personal idea of the concept that is very different from Shannon's both in content and measure; others interpreted information as messages, data; some of them specify information as “the variety that one entity has information about another one” and make a conclusion that “information expresses properties of matter”. The concept of information is confused for readers by numerous scientists as they cannot clarify the meaning on their own. R. Hartley and C. Shannon, the founders of information theory, have a great impact on the concept of information. The essence of the concept of information is becoming increasingly relevant. However, even recent studies have not given the obvious meaning of the term “information”. Consequently, according to the scientists’ theories, the term "information" can be defined as: information is a kind of knowledge that can be obtained and exchanged with and without technical means and tools. Key words: information, measure of the information quantities, value of information.

Effective Think-Pair-Share Pedagogical Strategy to Improve Inferential Statistics Concept Understanding

Abstract : The Think-Pair-Share (TPS) technique is believed to encourage students who are shy to participate in classrooms. In this method, the instructor poses a problem and the students work on it individually to begin with. Next, they work in pairs and the final step is a discussion held by the entire classroom. The strategy allows students to think for a while, then talk to their partners, or group mates and share ideas. The students are encouraged and motivated to participate in the classroom. TPS is one of the cooperative learning methods that promotes group participation, discussion, critical thinking about the question being considered, presentation of personal ideas and opinions in a supportive environment. Statistics for Computer Science being a core subject and buzz word for the field of computer science engineering and data science, this strategy was implemented for the third-year computer engineering students to bring about an improvement in the conceptual understanding of inferential statistics concept. This proposed research work is an inferential statistical analysis of implemented TPS activity. Pre and post test was conducted for the inferential statistics concept on a random samples of 25 students. Parametric paired t-test is used to validate the hypothesis. Statistical results show that there is an improvement in concept understanding after TPS activity. Moreover, the outcome of the experiment along with feedback from the students related to this strategy are also excellent.

Artistic and Expressive Space of the Vocal Chamber Works of Bohdana Filtz

The paper studies the chamber and vocal legacy of the prominent Ukrainian composer Bohdana Filtz (1932–2021), whose musical thinking was influenced by the traditional Ukrainian romance songs, in particular, the old Galician ones. Her orientation towards the genre of romanсe manifests itself in the poetic intonation of the textual basis and in the manner of her musical writing. In Filtz’s chamber vocal works, she expands the boundaries of themes and genres of solo singing. Her solo pieces for voice are characterized by an attentive and careful attitude to the performance and skillful use of the entire range of the most “capricious and fragile” musical instrument—the human voice. In addition, she effectively builds the very part of the piano accompaniment, which always plays an important figurative and semantic role. Two significant components in the figurative and thematic content of Filtz’s vocal music were defined—civil and lyrical. In her chamber vocal compositions, Filtz combines a purely personal idea with a universal, humanistic principle at the figurative and meaningful level, closely intertwining epic characteristics with lyrics and drama. Her tendency for the psychological acuity of the musical images of her vocal works was traced through their philosophic nature, enriched with drama, and sometimes with tragedy. Ukrainian classical and modern poets prevail in the poetic stanzas of her romances.

Dispersal without drivers: Intrinsic and extrinsic variables have no impact on movement distances in a terrestrial amphibian.

Dispersive movements are often thought to be multicausal and driven by individual body size, sex, conspecific density, environmental variation, personality, and/or other variables. Yet such variables often do not account for most of the variation among dispersive movements in nature, leaving open the possibility that dispersion may be indeterministic. We assessed the amount of variation in 24 h movement distances that could be accounted for by potential drivers of displacement with a large empirical dataset of movement distances performed by Fowler's Toads (Anaxyrus fowleri) on the northern shore of Lake Erie at Long Point, Ontario (2002–2021, incl.). These toads are easy to sample repeatedly, can be identified individually and move parallel to the shoreline as they forage at night, potentially dispersing to new refuge sites. Using a linear mixed‐effect model that incorporated random effect terms to account for sampling variance and inter‐annual variation, we found that all potential intrinsic and extrinsic drivers of movement accounted for virtually none of the variation observed among 24 h distances moved by these animals, whether over short or large spatial scales. We examined the idea of movement personality by testing variance per individual toad and found no evidence of individuality in movement distances. We conclude that deterministic variables, whether intrinsic or extrinsic, neither can be shown to nor are necessary to drive movements in this population over all spatial scales. Stochastic, short time‐scale movements, such as daily foraging movements, can instead accumulate over time to produce large spatial‐scale movements that are dispersive in nature.

Adaptation to Anti-Crisis Measures: Individual Rights and Public Safety

The current stage of social development is characterized by natural and technological changes, the consequences of which can lead to both global and local shocks, taking the character of institutional crises, emergencies, catastrophes. Anti-crisis measures, post-disaster recovery concern all aspects of social life, include the macro level and the daily way of life of the population. The effectiveness of any measures developed by the subjects of the institutional environment is directly and directly related to the way the population chooses to adapt to them: accepts – ignores – rejects The purpose of the analysis in the article is to identify personal characteristics, external factors, social positions and preferences associated with choosing the priority of personal ideas about ways to ensure security in crisis conditions or measures developed by professionals and institutional structures. The empirical basis of the analysis is the data of the 27th wave of the all-Russian monitoring of the economic situation and health of the population. The analysis is carried out on the basis of a representative sample, from which respondents aged less than 18 years have been removed. The selected indicators are grouped into several blocks: socio-demographic characteristics of respondents; adaptive capabilities; values; security; attitude to the social environment. The analysis of empirical data undertaken in the article revealed a number of similarities and differences between target groups formed according to the criterion of accepting restrictions on rights and freedoms for the sake of ensuring public safety. Interpretation of the results obtained allows us to assert that the resources of “reformatting” the initially declared attitude to non-acceptance of environmental requirements are the development of personal adaptability, the growth of institutional trust, closer cooperation between the population and decision-making entities, a significant increase in the level of responsibility in relation to the laws.

El rol de las narraciones autobiográficas en la comprensión histórica del sujeto y su comunidad

This article collects the results of an interventional research regarding the educational possibilities and obstacles that arose after the implementation in the classroom of a teaching and learning sequence that sought to link the historical narratives with the autobiographical fragments of young people around the Civil Military Dictatorship. in Chile (1973-1990). This qualitative research acquired the methodology of content analysis in thirteen stories written by high school students in a paid private school in Santiago de Chile. The results show that the student group elaborated narratives with different structures according to the temporal context. Thus, the autobiographical fragments acquire prominence in the present and future, since the students explained some personal ideas from conceptual quasi-characters (individualism) that were consolidated in the Chilean dictatorial context. Despite the above, the quasi-characters incorporated in the stories limited the spaces of freedom of the subjects and hindered, on some occasions, the incorporation of the individuality of the students. In addition, the presence of the past-present-future temporality allowed the autobiographical to be incorporated into a broader temporal context, characterized by negative judgments about the political conflict and by ways of acting as citizens restricted to individual spaces, preventing the encounter with others. In conclusion, the links between the content and skills of historical thinking with autobiographical narratives are not natural, but complex to work in school and present challenges on how students can understand themselves historically.

Conceptualization of the problem of creativity in the context of keystone fundamentals of cultural analysis

The aim of the work is to investigate the problem of creativity based on the potential of cultural analysis. The methodology of the research is based on general scientific principles, namely, terminological and systemic. The aim and objectives of the publication led to the usage of such research methods as analysis, synthesis, generalization, which made it possible to clarify the meaning of a number of concepts and terms. Scientific novelty. Emphasis is made on the importance of interdisciplinarity, and personalization as factors that “anatomize” creativity, highlighting such structural element as “artistic creativity”, deepening in this way, the idea of a creative personality that can not only create but also change the paradigm of art. The idea of “cultural turn” is involved, in the logic of which the idea of creativity is corrected. Conclusions. Based on the interpretation of the phenomenon “creativity - artistic creativity” and taking into account the experience of Ukrainian experts, a new definition of creativity is proposed: “Creativity is a purposeful activity to create fundamentally new spiritual and material values that have both universal and national historical and cultural significance”. The stated definition is based on an interdisciplinary basis and outlines areas for further theoretical investigation in the sphere of cultural knowledge, as it allows to identify topics that need deep study in the context of factors of cultural analysis. Key words: creativity, cultural analysis, “cultural turn”, “negative psychology”, avant-garde, purposeful activity, “fundamentally new”, experiment.

The transformation of personality-oriented pedagogy ideas in socialist education in the first third of the 20th century

On the basis of historical documents, pedagogical writings of the 19th early 20th centuries and modern works, the paper reveals features of the development of ideas of personality free development in Russian pedagogy in the first third of the 20th century. Their significance for the modern theory and practice of personality-oriented education is assessed. It is determined that by the beginning of the 20th century education had become a strategically important phenomenon, the idea of personality as a value for society was becoming widespread. Schools of pedagogy of individuality were being formed. The content of personality-developing pedagogical systems had been heterogeneous by 19171918, they were influenced by various theories in the context of the relationship between the individual and society. Since the 1920s, pedagogical activity acquired sociocentric contours associated with the upbringing of the socialist type of personality. State educational authorities carefully, but firmly and consistently eliminated religious and other pedagogical influences that did not fit into the established format and ideal of the moral character of a Soviet citizen. At the same time, in socialist education, within certain limits, there was continuity between the ideas of free development and environmental education of the 1920s. The study shows that with unlimited resources in creating a controlled and ideological educational environment, outstanding results can be achieved. However, such results will be ambiguous: blocking personal development, encouraging a programmed influence on a person deprives him of a self-forming beginning, freedom, and ultimately responsibility.
