Why we should train teachers on the impact of childhood trauma on classroom behaviour

Aim:This paper aims to discuss the link between childhood trauma and young people's disruptive behaviour in the classroom, and argues that teachers should receive training on ‘attachment aware’ approaches to help them respond effectively.Rationale:Two inter-connected problems affecting the UK education system are the number of young people who have experienced early trauma which impacts on their wellbeing and classroom behaviour, and the number of teachers who leave the profession. We propose that schools becoming more attachment-aware could help to address these issues.Findings:Through considering the evidence for what therapeutically supports young people to move out of a pattern of trauma-influenced coping, we show there is scope for schools to play a systemic part in building positive interpersonal relationships. We suggest that a fortuitous side effect of this is the evidence that it could be beneficial for adults in the education system to take an alternative approach, potentially acting as a buffer for professional burnout and aiding teacher retention.Limitations:The evidence base supporting attachment-aware approaches in schools is in its early stages, and there may be challenges aligning such relationally-orientated practices within a performative educational culture.Conclusions:Based on the material presented in the paper, we conclude that now is the time to prioritise relationships for education. attachment-aware approaches can provide a valuable starting point for schools.

PSYCHOLOGICAL READINESS OF ADOLESCENTS TO MASTER THE SKILLS OF EMOTIONAL SELF-REGULATION

At the present stage of development of Ukrainian society, there is a significant increase in the individual's requirements in social and professional aspects: the present demands from the young man activity, purposefulness, mobility, flexibility, and self-confidence. The manifestation of these qualities is impossible without the formed skills of emotional self-regulation. The article analyzes the results of a study of the level of readiness of young people to master emotional self-regulation skills. There are four levels of readiness to master emotional self-regulation skills, which were identified and described. All of them are determined by the following components: motivation for emotional self-regulation, emotional consciousness, emotional competence, the effectiveness of emotional self-regulation skills. The relationship between the readiness of adolescents to master the skills of emotional self-regulation with such personal characteristics as: reflexivity, emotional competence, emotional self-awareness. The relationship between adolescents' readiness to master the skills of emotional self-regulation with such personal characteristics as reflexivity, emotional competence, and emotional self-awareness. The young people's awareness of the need for emotional self-regulation and knowledge about themselves, their emotional sphere, and formed reflexivity is determined by the essential prerequisites for forming such personal characteristics of the young man as emotional consciousness, emotional competence, emotional stability, and emotional maturity. It is determined that personal motivation for self-development and emotional-volitional control has a positive effect on the formation of emotional self-regulation skills. It has been shown that young people who are able to monitor their emotional states and their causal relationships with other internal processes and the effectiveness of their own activities have a higher level of motivation for emotional self-regulation and a more comprehensive range of emotional self-regulation methods that help adequate socialization and productivity. It was stated that a significant number of young people are agreed that the need to master the skills of emotional self-regulation and recognize the negative impact of uncontrolled emotions on their own lives, but do not apply this need to themselves.

Islamic Values As A Factor In The Formation Of Personality

This article analyzes one of the most pressing problems among young people today is religious values. In today's fast-paced world, the number of young people who do not know what is halal and what is haram is growing. This, in turn, leads to an increase in crimes such as bribery, fraud, theft, various misdeeds in society. This article discusses the role of religious values in combating and preventing the above-mentioned vices through religious values.

Paul Ricœur’s Conception of the Reform of University Education

The article examines the concept of reform of university education by Paul Ricœur. During his tenure as professor at the Sorbonne, the philosopher begins to experience dissatisfaction with the quality of teaching at a leading university in France. Analyzing the problems in the field of higher education, he comes to the following conclusions. In the second half of the 20 th century, the world has entered the era of the cultural revolution. This process consists in the global transformation of the social system and the spiritual life of society, the formation of new ideas about values. In addition, the demographic explosion, significant changes in the field of social stratification, the need of society for qualified specialists have led to a sharp increase in the number of young people wishing to get higher education. In these conditions, there is a need to reform the university education system in accordance with the requirements of the time. Ricœur is developing a project for the reorganization of higher education, the main idea of which was to be the principle of open dialogue in the learning process. According to the philosopher, it was necessary to abandon the outdated interpretation of teaching as a formal translation of the existing body of knowledge from the teacher to passively perceiving information students, to consider teaching not as the assimilation of a system of static truths, but as a creative process of interpreting the material being studied, which presupposes a willingness to discuss and solve emerging problems. Curricula need to be formed in a modular-elective way, taking into account the individual needs of students. Universities should become centers of creativity and scientific innovation. To achieve this goal, it will be necessary to reform universities as educational institutions, making teaching efficient and flexible. Ricœur embarked on his project at the University of Nanterre, which was set up as the vanguard of renewing the higher education system. However, the revolutionary events of 1968 in France led to the collapse of his pedagogical experiment. The philosopher himself explained the reason for his failure by the fact that he built relationships horizontally and underestimated the importance of vertical relationships in management. The author comes to the conclusion that despite Ricœur’s failure during the period of his reform activities at the University of Nanterre, his pedagogical concept is deep and well-grounded. Many of the philosopher’s recommendations are consistent with the set of measures to reform higher education, carried out in France in the late 1960s – early 1970s. Ricœur’s idea remains relevant in the modern era and anticipates some of the ideas of a new model of education in the 21 st century.

Representing variation in a spoken corpus of an endangered dialect: the case of Torlak

The paper presents a spoken corpus of the endangered Torlak dialect from the Timok area of Southeast Serbia. This dialect expresses a great deal of variation in the use of non-standard features under the influence of standard Serbian (SSr). Accounting for this variation, a specific methodology has been selected for collection, sampling, transcription and annotation. Between 2015 and 2017, semi-structured interviews were conducted in the field eliciting spontaneous speech in the form of long narratives about traditional culture and history. The corpus comprises 500,697 tokens of semi-orthographic transcripts representing 80 h of recording from locations evenly distributed across the Timok area of the Torlak dialect zone, thus enabling a spatial contrastive analysis. The majority of speakers in the corpus are older people whose language represents the highly non-standard variety. In order to allow for analysis of language change under the influence of SSr, the corpus includes a number of younger people whose speech is closer to SSr. Tools for automatic PoS annotation and lemmatization that were lacking were developed based on the existing resources for SSr. For tagger training, a dialect sample of 27,000 manually verified tokens was merged with an existing training set for SSr.

Youth jobs crisis: schemes set up

The pandemic has seen the number of young people in work reach a record low level. Experts say government

Гра в більярд як фактор зміцнення психофізичного здоров’я сучасної молоді

The article is devoted to the study and popularization of billiards among modern student youth as one of the types of game sports. The purpose of the research is to study the influence of playing billiards on the psychophysical state of student youth. The authors of the article set out the main trends associated with the increase in the level of physical development of modern students. Quite an important problem of the modern lifestyle is the gradual deterioration in the health of young people. In recent years, there has been a negative trend towards an increase in the number of young people with health problems and low levels of health. Despite the existing physical culture classes in higher and secondary educational institutions, the state of health of students is mainly deteriorating. This can be due to insufficient physical loads in classes, incorrect distribution of physical exercises, non-creative approach to the subject, or classes in general that can be carried out simply formally. An important task of modern education is to instill in young people a responsible attitude to their own health and the health of those around them as to the highest individual and social value. That is why, understanding the need to be attentive to the problems of one’s health, mastering the mechanisms of its maintenance, strengthening and restoration, cognition of the peculiarities of one’s individual mental and somatic organization is a prerequisite for longevity, self-realization as a person and as a member of society. The article presents the results of observations that allow judging the positive effect of billiards on general well-being and the level of physical and psycho-emotional health. The introduction of playing billiards in the educational process of higher educational institutions, in the author’s opinion, will contribute to solving some problems of the psychophysical health of a modern student.

Barriers and facilitators on the pathway to mental health care among 12-25 year olds

ABSTRACT Purpose The mismatch between the number of young people that require mental health care and who actually receive it, questions access to care. This study aims to gain in-depth understanding of barriers and facilitators in the pathway to mental health care among 12 to 25 year olds as experienced by visitors of youth walk-in centres of the Dutch @ease Foundation. Methods Open interviews were conducted to explore participants’ experiences and attitudes towards mental health care. Following inductive thematic analysis, barriers and facilitators in participants’ pathways towards care were described. Results Fifteen participants were included, heterogenic with regard to age, sex and nationality. Three main themes in the process of seeking help were ‘attitudes towards mental health problems and seeking help’, ‘entrance to care’ and ‘in care itself’. A fourth theme consisted of suggestions for improvement. Conclusion Negative attitudes towards mental health problems make young people to only seek help when problems begin to escalate. The lack of knowledge about mental health problems, treatment options and costs asks for more awareness and clear information. Updates about waiting lists and alternative options, informal settings with walk-in options and personalized care are feasible and crucial improvements to decrease the individual and societal burden.

ГЛОБАЛЬНОЕ РАЗВИТИЕ И ПРОБЛЕМЫ МОЛОДЕЖНОЙ ПОЛИТИКИ РОССИИ

Youth are the backbone of innovative country and global development. Currently, developed and many developing countries have gone through a demographic transition. As a result, the number of young people is decreasing and the proportion of older people is increasing. At the same time, similar processes are taking place with the social stratum of "innovators", which includes scientists. This circumstance may lead to a long-term and difficult-to-overcome slowdown in economic growth, which Russia and other countries, and possibly the entire global world, have faced. For Russia, the set of solutions to the problem should lie in the plane of increasing the effectiveness of state youth policy by consolidating and strategizing its management in all spheres and industries.

Generational Giving: Japanese High School Students’ Motivation to Donate Blood

Background: As the number of young people in Japan decreases, the proportion of them who donate blood warrants urgent attention. The aims of this investigation were to test whether students’ motivation of “doing good for others” associated with their blood donation behavior and to explore factors associated with their motivation. Methods: Fukushima Red Cross Blood Donor Center conducted a questionnaire survey in 2018 at 10 high schools in Fukushima Prefecture (N=4506). From the database, we analyzed the factors associated with motivation as assessed by the perception of “doing good for others” using chi-square tests and binomial logistic regression. Results: The percentage of those answering “doing good for others” as “important” was 67.2%. Students who donated blood more often tended to cite “doing good for others” as important. The probability of regarding this perception as important was significantly higher among females, those with better subjective health, and those knowing their own blood type and donation eligibility criteria. Conclusion: Health promotion activities that improve subjective perceptions of one’s health may reinforce students’ awareness of blood donation as “doing good for others” that might promote frequent donation. Our results also support greater outreach to male students and improving students’ knowledge related to blood donation.

Some Sociodemographic Factors of the Intensity of Anti-Government Demonstrations: Youth Bulges, Urbanization, and Protests

Demographic changes associated with the transition from traditional to modern economies underlie many modern theories of protest formation. Both the level of urbanization and the “Youth Bulge” effect have proven to be particularly reliable indicators for predicting protest events. However, given that in the course of economic development these processes often occur simultaneously, it seems logical to put forward the hypothesis that the combined effect of urbanization growth and an increase in the number of young people will be a more relevant factor for predicting protests. Our study of cross-national time series from 1950 to 2016 shows that the combined effect of these two parameters is an extremely strong predictor of anti-government protests in a single country, even more so than traditional indicators such as democratization, per capita GDP, and the level of education.

Unfriendly Fire: How the Tobacco Industry is Destroying the Future of Our Children.

Tobacco has long been known to be one of the greatest causes of morbidity and mortality in the adults, but the effects on the foetus and young children, which are lifelong, have been less well appreciated. Developing from this are electronic nicotine delivery systems or vapes, promulgated as being less harmful than tobacco. Nicotine itself is toxic to the foetus, with permanent effects on lung structure and function. Most vapes contain nicotine, but they also contain many other compounds which are inhaled and for which there are no toxicity studies. They also contain known toxic substances, whose use is banned by European Union legislation. Accelerating numbers of young people are vaping, and this does not reflect an exchange of vapes for cigarettes. The acute toxicity of e-cigarettes is greater than that of tobacco, and includes acute lung injury, pulmonary haemorrhage and eosinophilic and lipoid pneumonia. Given the worse acute toxicity, it should be impossible to be complacent about medium and long term effects of vaping. Laboratory studies have demonstrated changes in lung proteomics and the innate immune system with vaping, some but not all of which overlap with tobacco. It would be wrong to consider vapes as a weaker form of tobacco, they have their own toxicity. Children and young people are being targeted by the vaping industry (which is largely the same as the tobacco industry), including on-line, and unless an efficient legislative program is put in place, a whole new generation of nicotine addicts will result.

Is organizational skill a will or a way to a successful lifestyle and workstyle?

Organizational skill is a transversal competence, which is formed through concrete life experiences. On the labour market, organizations want high-performing employees with developed organizational skills. The approach of training the organizational competence is inductive, starting from personal life, competence formed through voluntary exercise, and continuing by practicing and improving it during school life and at work, through ways offered by academic education and management, but also through organizational skill management. This paper aims to analyse the concept of organizational skill, from the perspective of mental mechanisms involved in its formation, as well as human resource management strategies, applied at the level of university education. Approaching the organizational skill from both perspectives, the competence will lead to a new lifestyle and workstyle oriented towards performance and success. The level of organizational skill of students was analysed, based on a questionnaire to assess organizational competence and a practical test of organization. Following the analysis of the results, it was observed that a small number of young people are very well organized, and their resistance to change is quite high. Finally, the study offers possible school management strategies for training and developing organizational skills, leading to a successful lifestyle and work.

A sociological perspective on the phenomenon of solo-living in Eastern Europe: An attempt at conceptualization

This article examines the phenomenon of solitary living as a consequence of the processes of individualization that are characteristic of the entire modern world. The urgency of this problem arises from the increase in the number of individuals who prefer to live alone. Although this trend is typical for Eastern Europe, as it is for the rest of the world, it is not widely considered in scientific circles. Whilst analyzing scientific literature in different spheres (philosophy, economics, psychology, sociology) and statistical data on solitary living, the author has come to the conclusion that to describe the phenomenon in a sociological vein, it is most appropriate to consider solitary living as a “solo-living” lifestyle. The article also examines the main studies of solitary living in Eastern Europe, and through such work, it was concluded that there is not enough research: current research mainly considers single living among the older generation, despite the fact that the number of young people who prefer this lifestyle continues to grow. In the course of the study, the author was faced with the problem of layering related concepts: solos, singles, solo-living, single-person households, and others. To avoid this problem, the author distinguishes between these concepts and makes an attempt to conceptualize the concept of “solo-living”, offers the author’s definition, and outlines further research prospects.

Measurement and determinants of efficiency in the municipal police service

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the efficiency of the police service in Spanish municipalities with a population of more than 50,000 inhabitants. Using Data Envelopment Analysis, we obtain the efficiency levels and the targets that the input and outputs have to reach to be efficient in the provision of the police service. Next, and based on the literature, the effect of the following environmental variables is verified: young population, number of foreigners, unemployment, municipal per capita income, tourist level of the municipality, and ideology and political strength of the municipal government. Findings show that an increase in the number of young people in the municipality means an improved efficiency in the local police service. In contrast, cultural diversity (measured by the percentage of foreigners in the total population), unemployment, the mayor's ideology and political fragmentation of government do not have a significant effect on the level of efficiency. On the other hand, higher municipal per capita income means less efficiency, while an increase in tourism activity is related to the improvement of this.

Online and social media resilience in young people in vulnerable contexts

ABSTRACT This Australian study explored the resilience to online abusive activity and enticements to violence amongst a cohort of young people in vulnerable contexts. The vulnerable contexts were defined as those where family disruption, domestic violence and subsequent geographical dislocation were present in the young person’s environment. The young people, aged 12 to 19 years, were interviewed to elicit the prevalence of abusive or violent online and social media behaviours and were invited to discuss the resilience strategies they used to deal with such behaviours. Whilst resilience to online abusive activity has been studied in some depth, the prevalence of such activity and its effect upon young people in domestic violence or other abusive contexts has not. This study which examined the first-hand responses of a small number of young people in domestic violence contexts, found that the resilience strategies were dependent upon the maturity of the individual, the perceived support mechanisms available to the young person, the peer group attitude and the emotional attachment to the peer group. The results broadly match resilience strategies evident in the existing literature but add new knowledge about the significance of the maturation process and its effect upon resilience strategies for vulnerable youth. The study provides new insights into the development of resilience in online or social media contexts for young people in vulnerable contexts.

ГРАЖДАНСКОЕ УЧАСТИЕ МОЛОДЕЖИ В МЕСТНОМ САМОУПРАВЛЕНИИ В КОНТЕКСТЕ ПОКОЛЕНЧЕСКОЙ ТЕОРИИ

In recent decades, there has been a clear tendency to reduce the participation of young people in political processes, which is manifested, inter alia, in the low turnout of young people in elections and a decrease in the number of young people who are members of a political party. This is especially acute at the local level, leading to a decrease in the participation of young people in resolving issues of the local community, and, as a consequence, a decrease in civic activity, the formation of protest behaviour. According to the theory of generations, this situation is typical and can be described by the generational cycle of N. Howe and W. Strauss "Rise - Awakening - Decay - Crisis". The aim of the research is to analyze the civic engagement of young people in the context of generational theory in the context of age groups. Most of the respondents consider their civic position active. The authors come to the conclusion that there are no significant differences in the civic engagement of different age groups of young people. A significant part of young people do not know about the activities of local government bodies and the directions of their work. In this regard, it is necessary to organise educational events and implement projects aimed at involving youth in the activities of local self-government bodies, for a more active participation of young people in the implementation of projects at the local level. Younger age groups of young people are more willing to organise various events aimed at meeting social needs, while older age groups either prefer to take part in such events or are limited to financial participation.

PAH-CHD: transition to adulthood

BackgroundA structured transition provides a framework of care that bridges the gap between paediatric and adult medicine. It is essential for achieving continuity of care and providing support and education around the challenging period of adolescence for young people with pulmonary arterial hypertension associated with congenital heart disease (PAH-CHD).PresentationIn this review of transition care in PAH-CHD, we evaluate the evidence supporting a structured programme of transition care and review the current principles and ‘best practice’ standards for transition in the UK. In the second part of the review, we highlight some important areas of education that are relevant to adolescents with PAH-CHD, including health education, exercise and participation in sports, pregnancy and contraception, employment, and driving.ConclusionsAs the number of young people embarking on transition continues to increase, the challenge is set to continue to improve the quality of care for our patients within the framework of available resources.

Young people’s orientations towards contemporary politics: Trust, representation and participation

Over the last thirty years voter turnout in elections at both national and European levels has in many countries fallen albeit with some notable increases in the most recent years. This, together with a decline in the perception of political efficacy and falling trust in political institutions, has been argued to have resulted in a democratic deficit. Drawing on original data from thirty research locations in fourteen European countries as part of the MYPLACE (Memory, Youth, Political Legacy and Civic Engagement) project we explore young people’s attitudes towards politics and their political behaviour. Our research confirms findings in existing literature: many young people feel that their political system is not working for them. Our results show that many young people harbour deep-seated cynicism towards the political class and tend not to trust political institutions including parliament and political parties. We also demonstrate, however, that the majority of young people are, in fact, interested in politics. Moreover, young people tend to support democracy as a political system. They also continue to perceive voting as the most effective form of participation. That a considerable number of young people are not actively participating in political processes is at odds with their professed beliefs. This paper contributes to understanding the contemporary political orientation of young people by exploring both their attitudes and behaviour.
