Development and validation of career decision making proficiency scale

The purpose of the present research was to develop and examine the psychometric properties of the Career Decision Making Proficiency Scale (CDMPS). The new tool amalgamates various conceptual domains of career exploration process and validates its usage for students and young adults (N=565). The researcher used a survey research design that involved the theoretical evaluation by experts, mandating two subscale divisions for the original 40 items. A deductive approach was considered for the scale development. The content validity assessment by means of CVR- Lawshe’s Test, Fleiss’ Kappa statistics, and the CVI-proportion agreement method retained 34 items. R Studio software was used for dimension reduction techniques and inter-factor bi-variate correlations. The results of the item analysis confirmed 30 items clustered into five dormant constructs. The reliability coefficients of the two sub-scales were found to be high (α= 0.80 and 0.87). Furthermore, the exploratory factor analysis explained 52.45 percent and 50.99 percent of total variance, confirming the factorial internal structural validity of the two sub-scales, respectively. The scale can be administered by career and school counsellors to guide students with their career decisions, to assess career decision difficulties faced by weak students and potential dropouts or repeaters, and to assess students’ confidence, motivation, and abilities in handling problematic situations at the time of deciding a career path.

Личностные факторы профессионального выгорания у школьных учителей

<p style="text-align: justify;">The relevance. There is a lack of information in the scientific literature about predictors of professional burnout among schoolteachers. This complicates psychological work to prevent and overcome professional burnout syndrome, which is a consequence of significant physical and psychological overload among modern teachers. The aim. To identify the most significant personal factors of professional burnout among schoolteachers. Study design. The article analyzes the relationship between the professional burnout of schoolteachers and such personal factors as the professional motivation of teachers, their meaningful life orientations, strategies for coping behavior, satisfaction with various aspects of pedagogical activity. Materials and methods. The study involved 409 teachers of secondary schools in Moscow and the Moscow region aged 23 to 65 years. The following questionnaires were used: «Professional Burnout» questionnaire, «Life Orientations Test», «Job Satisfaction Components Questionnaire», «Coping Methods Questionnaire», «Professional Motivation Questionnaire». Data analysis was carried out using correlation and multiple regression analysis. Results. It is shown that the socio-psychological qualities of the individual, necessary for building the pedagogical interaction of the teacher with other participants in educational relations, primarily with the parents of students, are of high importance for reducing the risk of professional burnout. The most significant personal factors that are predictors of professional burnout among schoolteachers with different indicators of burnout have been identified (dissatisfaction with interaction with students’ parents, the predominance of controlled motivation for work, preference for unconstructive strategies for coping with problematic situations, a feeling of unfulfillment and inability to fully manage one’s life). Conclusions. Psychological, advisory and psychotherapeutic assistance to schoolteachers can be expanded by correcting work motivation, using positive reappraisal and non-confrontation to cope with difficult situations, and teaching effective means of communication with other participants in educational relations.</p>

ВИВЧЕННЯ ЛОГІКИ ЯК УМОВА РОЗВИТКУ КРИТИЧНОГО МИСЛЕННЯ У ЗДОБУВАЧІВ ВИЩОЇ ОСВІТИ

The purpose of the study is the process of critical thinking development based on the study of educational material on logic by students of higher education. The research methodology is based on modern educational and scientific approaches to the development of thinking, the development of critical thinking, active cognition and assessment of the environment, the ability to analyze business situations and problems, the development of professional skills for making current and strategic management decisions, etc. Scientific novelty: it has been proven that the condition for the development of critical thinking of students of higher education is the study of logic, solving problematic tasks. Conclusions. Classes in logic provide a wide range of necessary problem tasks for the development of critical thinking of students of higher education. Tasks in logic can involve both elementary calculations and tasks with complex calculations, both illustrative examples and sophisticated abstractions, long searches from the “general” and instant concentration of a large amount of information in the thesis, generally accepted stereotypes and the search for a solution to problem situations. The main condition for the development of critical thinking in logic classes should be the solving of a task constructed in a certain way by students. A logic task can be standard or non-standard, mathematical or not so much. The main thing is that a non-standard logical task should have some kind of surprise in it, should have an original character – whether it is an unusual condition of the task, an original idea, an unexpected solution. The ability to see the depth of the task, to distinguish the main from general details is important for solving this type of tasks. Logic contributes to sharpening the skills of rational analysis, critical evaluation of the information flow. Logic is a necessary tool for the development of a person’s critical thinking. Key words: critical thinking, logic, student of higher education, professional education, information.

Emotional burnout syndrome among health care workers during the COVID-19 pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic has presented an unprecedented challenge to society. Supporting the mental health of medical personnel was a critical public health concern. Throughout the pandemic, many tragic deaths from suicide were reported. Consequently, attention to the well-being of healthcare professionals worldwide has become imperative for proper support and monitoring. The specificity of professional activity, which involves risk and situations of uncertainty, contributes to the formation of special forms of protective coping behavior in health care professionals. Nurses approach the problem situation rationally, strive to maintain control over their actions and the situation, and keep their attention on the goals of the activity. They consider the problem as a situation for personal growth, analyze the problem situation and make conscious attempts to get out of it.

Current and future development of thermal grids in Switzerland: an organizational perspective

IntroductionThermal grids are key to decarbonizing heating and cooling. However, their development is a complex socio-technical process. This study aims to (1) understand the thermal grid ecosystem’s development under changing political, economic and cultural frame conditions, (2) elicit actors’ perception of options for future development, and (3) identify concrete problem situations for the future development of thermal grids and describe how to address them.MethodsWe draw on 18 semi-structured interviews with decision-makers in utilities, municipal administrations, planning and engineering companies and intermediary organizations.ResultsWith increased strategic importance of thermal grids, the ecosystem has been in a phase of rapid growth and professionalization in the last 10–15 years. This is reflected in a rapid increase in the number of grids, but also in capability and capacity building and greater quality standards. This transformation has been supported by a resource pool (e.g., knowledge base, capacities and capabilities, networks or decision-support tools), built partly through the value network’s activities and partly through purposeful orchestration by associations, authorities, utilities and other actors. While policy developments, energy price fluctuations and changes in customer perceptions spurred demand, thermal grid development is limited by supply-side constraints, especially a skill shortage. Four interrelated problem situations were identified: (1) Municipalities lack the resources to manage the implementation of their energy strategies. (2) The modernization of thermal grids and integration of low-carbon heat sources entails high transaction costs. (3) The implementation of thermal grids is subject to delays and quality risks, with consequences for the timely achievement of decarbonization goals. (4) Customers face uncertainty on available options, as well as on the systemic impacts of their decisions.DiscussionBased on current practices, suggestions by the interviewees, as well as a comparison with the international literature, we identify four development areas to address these problem situations: (1) Empower and support municipalities. (2) Manage the scarcity of qualified workforce. (3) Leverage digital technology for the planning, realization and operation of thermal grids. (4) Pilot technological and organizational innovations together. This complements the set of previously suggested measures to support the development of thermal grids, which focused strongly on technical and regulatory aspects.

A multivariable control strategy based on fuzzy logic interference rule for a solar-driven, direct air-cooled H[formula omitted]O-LiBr absorption chiller

The operation of a solar-driven H2O-LiBr Absorption Chiller (AbC) is subjected to various limitations regarding its ability to satisfy efficiently the required cooling demand while avoiding certain internal conditions, such as H2O-LiBr solution crystallization and water freezing. These circumstances would lead to problematic situations and jeopardize the continuous operation of the system. Thus, the development of accurate control strategies is an issue of interest. A new operational control strategy approach is introduced and tested through simulation studies, by employing a transient model of the entire solar cooling application. A prototype under development is used for the parametrization of the direct air-cooled AbC model used in the simulations. The developed control strategy aims to minimize the electrical consumption of the auxiliary components of the AbC (i.e., fan, pumps) during the partial load operation period, by using a fuzzy logic interference rule for determining the cooling capacity demand and then applying an optimization algorithm for determining the velocity of the auxiliary components. Within the proposed control strategy, a fast-calculation model is embedded, which predicts the chiller’s capacity under variable external conditions and partial load operation. The electrical COP is increased up to 2.2 times with respect to a baseline case, based on a basic two-step control strategy, while allowing the chiller to operate smoother, minimizing the crystallization and freezing risk.

This article discusses the analysis of some homonymous units that create problematic situations in the process of searching for homonyms and dividing them into tokens in the Uzbek electronic corpus manager, and the alternative models that can be developed for them. Addressing the following homonymy problems and developing models for software can help overcome homonymy-related shortcomings for computational linguistics, particularly corpus linguistics.

Energy psychology for social anxiety and erythrophobia: A case study

Background: The intense fear of blushing in public (erythrophobia) is part of the spectrum of social anxiety that affects between 3% and 13% of the population. This phobia can be very debilitating for those who suffer from it. It may stem from a difficult childhood marked by educational attitudes based on shame and humiliation as well as repeated traumatic experiences. Object: The aim here is to explain in detail how the energy psychology techniques Clinical EFT (the manualized form of Emotional Freedom Techniques) and Energetic Memory Reconsolidation Therapy function in practice, as applied to “Jeanne,” a young woman suffering from social anxiety and erythrophobia following a chaotic start in life. Method and setting: The therapeutic plan was drawn up on the theoretical basis of the scientific literature on energy psychology, which has produced convincing results in the treatment of trauma and anxiety. The therapy was threefold: (a) learning to manage anxiety autonomously using Clinical EFT, (b) trauma treatment using Energetic Memory Reconsolidation Therapy, and (c) psycho-education. Jeanne had a total of 15 sessions, two of which are detailed here to illustrate the work. At the start of each session, the SUD (Subjective Units of Distress) scale was used to rate the level of blushing anxiety (the scale ranges from 0 to 10, with 0 being no distress and 10 being the most imaginable). Results: The level of anxiety decreased from 9/10 to 3/10 between the first and last sessions. In addition, the number of problem situations encountered (blushing having generated negative emotions) dropped from 5 per week to 0 per week between the beginning and end of therapy. Jeanne’s goal of not blushing at her wedding was achieved. She was able to experience the event without worrying about or even thinking about the anxiety. Conclusion: Psychotherapy based on energy techniques enabled me to treat Jeanne’s social anxiety and erythrophobia in depth by targeting the sources while giving her access to an emotional regulation tool to use independently: Clinical EFT. Keywords: erythrophobia, fear of blushing, social anxiety, Emotional Freedom Techniques, Clinical EFT, Memory Reconsolidation, Matrix Reimprinting

Examining the Empathy factors in Science Class (EfSC) Between Early and Late Adolescents

Objectives This study aims to validate the Empathy factors in Science Class (EfSC; Chun et al., 2018) as a measure for scientific empathy in early and late adolescents. Methods The instrument consists of scientific empathy with others and empathy with the problem situation. To achieve this objective, a survey was conducted on 215 middle school students (early adolescents) and 473 high school students (late adolescents). Confirmatory factor analysis and multi-group analysis were employed to validate the instrument. Additionally, domain-general aspects of EfSC were explored by correlating empathetic factors with the Interpersonal Reactivity Index (IRI; Davis, 1980) and scientific inquiry ability with the Test of Science Process Skills (TSPS: Kwon & Kim, 1994). Results The results revealed a high correlation between most factors of EfSC and IRI, indicating convergent validity. However, a relatively low correlation was observed with TSPS, suggesting a domain-specific nature of EfSC. Analysis of group features based on age and gender showed that factors related to empathy with others were influenced by age and gender, while factors related to empathy with problem situations were influenced by the interaction of age and gender. Further exploration indicated that females and high school students exhibited superior abilities in empathizing with others. In contrast, males, especially high school students, demonstrated higher abilities in empathy with problem situations. An analysis of variance (ANOVA) supported these findings. Conclusions This study contributes to the ongoing discourse on whether EfSC is a suitable instrument for assessing scientific empathy across the adolescence span. The nuanced differences observed in empathy factors based on age and gender underscore the importance of considering developmental and gender-related variations in assessing scientific empathy.

ALGORITHM FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF MENTORSHIP SUPPORT FOR WAR VETERANS IN A TERRITORIAL COMMUNITY

In the article there have been studied issues and needs that war veterans and defenders of Ukraine have after demobilization from the service and return to civil life as well as flaws of the acting system of social protection for combatants and persons with disability caused by war. There have been presented the results of implementation of the social project «Mentors for veterans», which has been carried out by the non-governmental organization «Youth institute» in Uzyn municipal territorial community (Kyiv region) in 2023–2024. Under this project, there has been developed and tested the implementation mechanism for mentorship (assistance) institution for veterans at the level of the territorial community, that, at the same time, requires the implementation of three interdependent components, such as: informing local authorities and citizens of the community about the existing problem in transition of veterans to civil life and possible solutions; selection and training of mentors / assistants for veterans; implementation of the mentorship support for veterans on the level of the territorial community. In the article one can find a sequence order for development of a reference book, which includes reliable data about facilities and institutions that work with veterans, defenders of Ukraine and members of their families in the territorial community. This reference book will be useful for specialists in the social sphere during development of the system for information and mentorship support of military servants, who have been dismissed due to health conditions and / or family circumstances and undergo transition to civil life. In the article the sequence of involvement and training of mentors for veterans, contents of the training program for mentors have been explained. The algorithm of mentorship support for veterans, defenders of Ukraine and their family members in the territorial community that has been developed within the framework of the project covers the organization of the interaction between a mentor / an assistant and a veteran in the following order: establishment of contacts with experts in the social sphere, who work with veterans; the first meeting with the veteran (acquaintance, collection of information on needs / issues of veterans; keeping in touch / mentorship support of veterans); support in case of problematic situations; finalization of interaction with the veteran. The algorithm of mentorship support for veterans has been implemented in Uzyn municipal territorial community (Kyiv region) and that has allowed identifying the main conditions for efficient implementation of the mentorship (assistance) institution for veterans in the territorial community. Methodical and organizational forms developed and tested within the project frame will be useful for specialists in the social sphere during development of methodical recommendations and implementation of the assistance institution in the period of transition from military service to civil life and provision of the appropriate social services.

Psychosocial action as praxis in psychology: Insights from professional practices

Introduction: In recent decades psychology has transcended the ways of understanding human, so that contextual interpretation and analysis is carried out from a psychosocial perspective, which can be evidenced at the formative level in the development ofprofessional practices. Objective: To understand the perceptions of students and graduate psychologists around psychosocial action and praxis from the context of practices at the Universidad Nacional Abierta y a Distancia (UNAD). Methodology: Descriptive qualitative study, in which 32 people selected through a non-probabilistic sampling by convenience participated. The semi-structured interview and the focus group were used. The information processing was carried out through thematic analysis. Results: Psychosocial action is evidenced as an approach perspective characterized by interaction and the ability to transform a problematic situation where the professional exercises a horizontal role privileging subjective and collective knowledge, defined by the implementation of alternative methodologies that entail a reflexive character.Conclusions: Psychosocial action as an interactional and transformational process enables an expansion of perspectives and imaginary conceptions on practice beyond the clinical-private sphere.

Multi-agent simulation of autonomous industrial vehicle fleets: Towards dynamic task allocation in V2X cooperation mode

The smart factory leads to a strong digitalization of industrial processes and continuous communication between the systems integrated into the production, storage, and supply chains. One of the research areas in Industry 4.0 is the possibility of using autonomous and/or intelligent industrial vehicles. The optimization of the management of the tasks allocated to these vehicles with adaptive behaviours, as well as the increase in vehicle-to-everything communications (V2X) make it possible to develop collective and adaptive intelligence for these vehicles, often grouped in fleets. Task allocation and scheduling are often managed centrally. The requirements for flexibility, robustness, and scalability lead to the consideration of decentralized mechanisms to react to unexpected situations. However, before being definitively adopted, decentralization must first be modelled and then simulated. Thus, we use a multi-agent simulation to test the proposed dynamic task (re)allocation process. A set of problematic situations for the circulation of autonomous industrial vehicles in areas such as smart warehouses (obstacles, breakdowns, etc.) has been identified. These problematic situations could disrupt or harm the successful completion of the process of dynamic (re)allocation of tasks. We have therefore defined scenarios involving them in order to demonstrate through simulation that the process remains reliable. The simulation of new problematic situations also allows us to extend the potential of this process, which we discuss at the end of the article.

Формирование экологических знаний младших школьников на основе УМК «Байкальский сундучок»

In this article, the authors present the experience of developing environmental knowledge of junior schoolchil-dren using the example of the educational-methodological set “Baikal Chest”. The formation of environmental knowledge is relevant because we live on the coast of one of the unique natural sites of our country – Lake Baikal, which is the deepest and oldest body of water on planet Earth. Pedagogical conditions that increase the efficiency of this process are identified and justified. According to the authors, the most significant and effective pedagogical condition ns for the formation of environmental knowledge in primary schoolchildren are the use of interactive technologies, such as creative tasks, project activities, ICT-technologies, and problem situations. The article presents examples of tasks from the “Baikal Chest” educational complex, which, from the authors’ point of view, most effectively demonstrate the implementation of the ethno-regional component in the educa-tional process of elementary school, as well as form ecological knowledge of younger schoolchildren.

Building project resilience: A critical systems practice approach

AbstractConsisting of multifaceted interactions between various human and non‐human actors, projects are prime illustrations of complex systems. Such complexity amplifies the negative effect of disruptive events—common in projects owing to their high level of uncertainty. Therefore, building project resilience to provide a quick recovery process with minimal adverse consequences is of critical importance. However, literature lacks an effective framework for such. This paper argues that methodological pluralism is necessary for solving complex practical problem situations, based on the view of Mike C. Jackson—a seminal figure in the field of systems thinking. Accordingly, this paper takes a critical systems practice (CSP) approach to develop a framework for building resilience in projects. The application of the proposed framework is illustrated through a case of supply shortages in the automotive industry. The results underscore the significance of portraying a comprehensive view of both human and non‐human contributors to projects, surpassing conventional project‐driven management methods, which rely on science and experimentation. Additionally, the study emphasises how CSP, as an ideal type of multimethodological practice, broadens our perspective by offering insights into the multidimensional characteristics of resilience.

A Multimethodological Approach to Assist the Design of Systemic Governance in Agroextractivist Settlement Projects in the Brazilian Amazon Landscape.

Coping with complex landscape situations in the Anthropocene increasingly demands innovative governance practices that can be facilitated by investment in new epistemological and methodological approaches and capacities. This paper explores the use of a multimethodological research approach organized as a systemic co-inquiry to assist in the design of systemic governance for Agroextractivist Settlement Projects (PAEs) in the municipality of Abaetetuba, Pará, in the Brazilian Amazon. In the PAEs, the systemic co-inquiry was conducted alongside interested and influential stakeholders through the combined use of the Soft Systems Methodology and Strategic Options Development and Analysis problem structuring methods. The use of these methods and their tools allowed stakeholders to articulate major issues around the situation of concern, engaging in reflective practices about the opportunities of governing the PAEs systemically. By valuing stakeholder perspectives and participation in all phases of the research, the proposed multimethodology approach helped them express their views on the problem situation and allowed for their active engagement in the design of systemic governance of the PAEs. As a result of adopting a multimethodological approach, distinctive albeit coupled realms of governing are explored, a key issue when designing systemic governance practices of social-ecological systems such as the PAEs.

Patient-clinician collaboration in making care fit: A qualitative analysis of clinical consultations in diabetes care

ObjectiveTo confirm described dimensions of making care fit and explore how patients and clinicians collaborate to make care fit in clinical practice. MethodsAs part of an ongoing study, we audiotaped and transcribed patient-clinician consultations in diabetes care. We purposively selected consultations based on participants’ demographical, biomedical and biographical characteristics. We analysed transcripts using reflexive thematic analysis. We combined a deductive and inductive approach, using the pre-described dimensions of making care fit and adding new (sub-)dimensions when pertinent. ResultsWe analysed 24 clinical consultations. Our data confirmed eight previously described dimensions and provided new sub-dimensions of making care fit with examples from clinical practice (problematic situation, influence of devices, sense of options, shared agenda setting, clinician context, adapting to changing organization of care, and possibility to reconsider). ConclusionOur study confirmed, specified and enriched the conceptualization of making care fit through practice examples. We observed patient-clinician collaboration in exploration of patients’ context, and by responsively changing, adapting or maintaining care plans. Practice implicationsOur findings support clinicians and researchers with insights in important aspects of patient-clinician collaboration. Ultimately, this would lead to optimal design of care plans that fit well in each patient life.

Duyu Bütünleme Sistemleri ile Eğitim İlişkisinde Fizyolojik Fonksiyonların İncelenmesi

The aim of this study is to investigate the physiological functions in the relationship between sensory integration systems and education. The sensory integration system states that the sensory integration process is necessary for the sensory-motor development of an individual because the individual's interaction with those around him is effective at the developmental stages of the brain, which is open to innovation. In recent studies, it has been shown that sensory integration systems are effective for individuals who need both normal and special education. It is stated that it is important to focus on providing educational interventions for parents and teachers through training and coaching methods. When we look at the studies in the literature, it can be said that sensory integration studies and interventions have gained momentum in our country in recent years. It is important to identify children's sensory difficulties with early diagnosis and early intervention to support development and to learn sensory strategies as soon as possible. Because there is no awareness of sensory integration problems, these problems are treated as problem behavior and behavior modification methods are applied for solution. Since the cause of the problem cannot be determined correctly, the problem situation does not disappear, which prevents the efficient execution of the educational process. Key Words: Sensory Integration, Education, Physiological Functions

Institutional and Teaching Practices for Student Retention: Accounts from Four High Schools of Valparaíso, Chile

<p style="text-align:justify">Although central governments, particularly in Latin America and the Caribbean, have defined reducing school dropout rates as a priority, and drawn policies accordingly, there are still young people who do not finish secondary education, and numbers are still alarming. Therefore, it is necessary to observe educational communities and analyze how they interpret and implement guidelines issued by the central government. The following study sought to describe the institutional and teaching practices deployed by four high schools in Valparaíso (Chile) in order to achieve student retention. A qualitative approach was employed. The management team, support professionals, teachers, students, and their families were interviewed. The information gathered was analyzed using the Grounded Theory. As a main finding, establishments use practices such as monitoring attendance, providing support to students facing problematic situations, and encouraging them during class, through a series of strategies. It is recommended that researchers implement this type of methodology for other study objectives, and that the central government consider these results to provide feedback on its policies.</p>
