Fostering Emotional Intelligence in Language Learners

This study explores the impact of integrating emotional intelligence (EI) strategies into ESL teaching to enhance student engagement, cultural sensitivity, and emotional resilience. Conducted in a multicultural classroom with intermediate to upper-intermediate learners, the study implemented role-playing for empathy, group activities for collaboration, reflection journals for self-awareness, and conflict resolution exercises to foster interpersonal skills. Results indicated significant improvements in student participation, emotional regulation, and confidence, as well as a stronger classroom sense of inclusion and support. Student feedback and self-assessment data revealed increased comfort with self-expression and collaboration, emphasizing the value of EI in reducing language anxiety and encouraging risk-taking in language use. The findings underscore the broader benefits of EI-focused approaches, suggesting that these methods not only support linguistic development but also prepare students for cross-cultural communication and social adaptability. This study recommends that ESL educators adopt EI strategies to create emotionally supportive, inclusive learning environments.

Research on the impact of dance training on the mental health of college students

This study aims to investigate the impact of dance training on the mental health of college students. Utilizing experimental research methods, we established an experimental group and a control group to compare changes in mental health dimensions—including anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and social skills—between the two groups before and after 12 weeks of dance training. The findings indicate that dance training significantly reduces levels of anxiety and depression, while also improving self-esteem and social skills, thereby enhancing social adaptability. These results provide empirical support for the use of dance as an intervention for mental health and offer new insights for mental health education in colleges and universities.

Level of tryptophan signaling molecules in children with different dynamics of obesity development

The high incidence of obesity in children is an extremely pressing problem in the modern health care system of many countries. There is an increase in the incidence of obesity in children in Russia, which is dangerous not only due to the development of somatic concomitant pathologies, but also to a violation of the social adaptation of children. Without a doubt, the search for early biochemical indicators of stabilization and progress of obesity in older age is very important for the formation of a risk group and timely prevention of the development of obesity and its complications. Our study showed that when assessing the various dynamics of obesity development, it is necessary to take into account the gender of the child, which is ignored in many cases. A decrease in serum serotonin concentrations may be considered as an indicator associated with the stabilization or progression of obesity in girls. Whereas in boys prone to stabilization and/or progression of obesity, a reduced serum level of indole-3-acrylate may act as a predictor marker.

The ways of communication for children with autism spectrum disorder

Deficits in social cognition underlie many of the profound challenges individuals with autism spectrum disorder face interacting with and understanding others. This study aimed to evaluate abilities predicting behavioral, verbal, and emotional responses during simulated social scenarios in 42 autistic children. Additionally, communication patterns were analyzed across solitary, peer, and group settings. A multifaceted assessment battery including the “prognostic stories” technique, expert observational ratings, cultural congruence metrics, and activity mapping provided insights into participants’ capacity forecasting actions, statements, and feelings in interpersonal situations. Results revealed marked variability across skill domains, with greatest impairments anticipating emotions. Communication quality and self-regulation strongly correlated with predictive accuracy. Cluster analysis indicated four distinct functional profiles (“proactive planners”, “regulatory navigators”, “quiet observers”, and “balanced responders”) highlighting heterogeneous strengths warranting support. Despite challenges inferring psychological states, personalized interventions targeting highly correlated skill deficits offer optimal social adaptation. Findings reiterate calls for balanced approaches recognizing autistic diversity while compassionately addressing barriers to inclusion. With acceptance and opportunity, individuals across the spectrum have much to contribute. Limitations include sample size and gender imbalance. Follow-up longitudinal tracking is warranted.

Mapalus as a Socio-Cultural System in Minahasa Society

This study aims to examine Mapalus as a socio-cultural system in Minahasa society, with a focus on an in-depth understanding of its historical roots, core values, roles in social structures, and adaptations and challenges faced in the modern era. The method used is a qualitative approach with a literature review type of research, involving a comprehensive analysis of various literature sources including books, journal articles, historical documents, and publications related to Mapalus and Minahasa culture. The results of the study indicate that Mapalus is a mutual cooperation system that has been deeply rooted in Minahasa society since ancient times, reflecting the values of cooperation, solidarity, and reciprocity. Mapalus has been shown to have an important role in the formation of social cohesion, resource management, and local economic development. Despite facing the challenges of modernization, Mapalus shows adaptability, evolution of form, and potential as a development model based on local wisdom. This study concludes that Mapalus remains relevant and has the potential to be a source of inspiration for the development of sustainable community-based development models.

Characteristics and Transition of Sleep–Wake Rhythm in Nursery School Children: The Importance of Nocturnal Sleep

In this study, we investigated the sleep–wake rhythm of nursery school children with the aim of supporting their health and mental/physical development. We analyzed 4881 children from infancy to 6 years of age, using 2 week sleep tables recorded by their guardians. The tables contained night bedtimes, wake times, nighttime/daytime sleep duration, and the differences in these between weekdays and weekends. The total sleep decrement of children with increasing age is attributed to a decrease in daytime sleep, while nighttime sleep duration remains almost unchanged at about 10 h, which is, therefore, referred to as the nighttime basic sleep duration (NBSD). Although bedtime stabilizes at around 9:30 p.m. by the age of 2, wake-up times tend to be before 7 a.m., which results in sleep insufficiency during weekdays. This lack of sleep is compensated for by long naps on weekdays and by catching up on sleep on weekend mornings, which may contribute to future social jet lag. Guardians are encouraged to know their children’s exact NBSD and set an appropriate bedtime to be maintained on weekdays. This helps to prevent sleep debt and fosters a consistent daily rhythm of waking up at the same time both on weekdays and weekends. These conditions are believed to support mental/physical development and school and social adaptation.

Probabilistic Linguistic TODIM Method with Probabilistic Linguistic Entropy Weight and Hamming Distance for Teaching Reform Plan Evaluation

In the context of the construction of new liberal arts, the integration and intersection of disciplines have become a new trend in the development of higher education. How to promote the teaching reform of big data technology and application courses in the new liberal arts construction scenario has become an important issue in enhancing students’ digital talent literacy and social adaptability. In this study, an extended probabilistic linguistic TODIM (an acronym in Portuguese for interactive multi-criteria decision making) with probabilistic linguistic entropy weight and Hamming distance is presented for teaching reform plan evaluation for the core course “big data technology and applications” in the digital economy major. Firstly, probabilistic linguistic entropy weight, based on the entropy of the additive linguistic term set, is applied to generate weight information. Secondly, parameter sensitivity analysis is carried out to prove the stabilization and effectiveness of the extended TODIM approach. Thirdly, this extended approach can integrate the psychological factors and cognitive behaviors of decision-makers for effectively responding to education management in the new liberal arts construction scenario. Finally, a case study on teaching reform plan evaluation is carried out, and a comparative analysis with different criteria weights and different methods is conducted to verify the extended approach. The results indicate that the extended approach can provide an effective technical tool for scientific decision-making, especially in the teaching reform plan evaluation scenario in order to promote high-quality development of education.

Empowering the Vulnerable: The Impact of SEL on Traumatized Children's Academic and Social Outcomes in Crises.

This article critically reviews the impact of Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) on traumatized children's academic and social outcomes, focusing on studies from the past three years across diverse contexts. It emphasizes the need for culturally sensitive, trauma-informed programs that cater to various settings, while also exploring the critical roles of parents and educators in SEL implementation. Additionally, the paper highlights challenges in deploying SEL in crisis-affected regions and offers strategies to address systemic barriers. Recent studies show that SEL interventions significantly foster emotional regulation, resilience, empathy, and social integration, vital for personal well-being and successful social adaptation. However, the effect of SEL on academic performance, particularly in literacy and numeracy, remains inconsistent. Cultural adaptation of SEL programs is critical to their success, especially in non-Western settings, with a growing focus on trauma-informed approaches to address the needs of children affected by crises, including the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite these benefits, challenges such as resource limitations, lack of policy support, and the need for educator training continue to impede effective SEL implementation. SEL offers a vital framework for supporting traumatized children, particularly in crisis-affected regions. This review explores five key themes: the enhancement of emotional regulation and social integration, the necessity of cultural adaptation, the involvement of parents and educators, the challenges of implementing SEL in crisis contexts, and the importance of developing trauma-informed policies. The article also identifies future research directions, emphasizing the need for systemic reforms and culturally adapted SEL models.

Influence of false beliefs and empathy on white lies among children with mild intellectual disabilities: focusing on trait and state perspectives

Children with mild intellectual disabilities often exhibit poor social skills owing to intellectual impairments. This makes it essential to enhance their communication abilities. This study provides a novel contribution by systematically investigating the effects of false beliefs and empathy on white lie behavior among children with mild intellectual disabilities, considering both state and trait dimensions. Experiment 1 examined the impact of trait-level false beliefs and trait-level empathy on trait-level white lies. The results demonstrated that trait-level false beliefs and trait-level empathy both significantly promoted white lie behavior. Experiment 2 explored the influence of state-level false beliefs and state-level empathy on state-level white lies and found similar positive effects. By integrating both trait and state perspectives, this research fills a gap in the literature on white lie behavior in children with mild intellectual disabilities and uncovers the mechanisms through which false beliefs and empathy operate in different contexts. These findings offer comprehensive educational and intervention strategies to improve social adaptation in children with mild intellectual disabilities.

The genesis of entropy in the conditions of the digital economy and socio-economic relations: globalization challenges and opportunities for sustainable development

The article traces the genesis of entropy in the minds of the digital economy and social economic developments, which stems from the rapid digitalization and accelerated globalization of current economic systems. The author has conducted research to highlight how digital transformations bring increased insignificance, creating new challenges for traditional models of management and social interaction. In the article, special attention is paid to the analysis of the legacy of the shift in the level of entropy for social unevenness, cybersecurity, technological accessibility and adaptation of enterprises to new minds in the market, which is We are important in the current information space. The emphasis is on the fact that the growing information and economic entropy is a critical factor that contributes to the ongoing development, which can lead to the destabilization of social and economic structures. The influx of globalization processes on entropy processes in the economies of the countries that are developing, where digital inequality is a factor in the growth of entropy, has been closely observed. Also, the role of government regulation in minimizing the negative legacies of entropy through promoting the policy of digital integration and supporting the development of harmonization of all processes has been analyzed. Opportunities for changing entropy are seen through the use of new innovative technologies, such as artificial intelligence, great data and automation, which allow optimizing resource management and reducing the level of insignificance. It is emphasized that the genesis of entropy in the digital economy requires further investigation, from which the economic stability of systems, as well as social harmony and equality have access to resources. The article also makes recommendations for further direct investigation of entropy in the minds of Swedish digitalization and globalization, which is aimed at developing strategies for managing complexity and insignificance in current social and economic systems.

О практике развития некоторых элементов конвергентного образования в технологическом вузе

The article examines the experience of the Faculty of Humanities and its Center for Cognitive Psychology at the University of Technology in involving students in research and applied scientific projects through cooperation and integration of the humanities and technology departments of the University. The ideas of the transformation of the country's educational system and the change of its methodological, pedagogical and technological guidelines in response to modern challenges and risks are analyzed, primarily for the younger generation in need of social adaptation and deeper natural science and humanitarian training for professional and personal growth. The attempts to substantiate the definition of "convergent education" are analyzed. All of them are based on an understanding, to one degree or another, of an interdisciplinary methodological approach to the formation of educational programs, in order to overcome the highly professional training of specialists and avoid formalizing the content of educational material, taking into account the productive interaction of the fundamental component of humanitarian and professional knowledge, the use of modern methods of automation of various types of information activities using information and computer technologies (algorithmization of learning, information modeling). In general, the convergence of education is defined as a process of learning and upbringing, which is a consequence of the implementation of the modern educational paradigm aimed at understanding, rather than memorizing, education for change, the ability to withstand stress, live in a digital world, preserving humanity, sociability and collectivism, ensuring teamwork, preservation and development of the humanitarian and intellectual component "in the context of the interpenetration of sciences and technologies in the implementation of the convergence of real and virtual communications. The scientific and methodological basis for the development of convergent education at the first stage was the development of scientific and pedagogical practices. This can include the management of students' research activities (R&D), involving them in the development and implementation of various projects of scientific laboratories and centers of departments and faculties. The article summarizes some of the experience of the Center for Cognitive Psychology of the Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities - SGT (until 2022 – ISGT– Institute) of the Federal State Educational Institution of Higher Education "K.G. Razumovsky Moscow State Technical University (PKU)", which was actively involved in the process of cluster formation in the conditions of the university's transformation into an innovative expert–analytical platform, the formation of an expert-educational cluster of excellence "NBICS-technologies of the food industry".

Personality matters in extremely demanding environments: A bed rest performance study

IntroductionPersonality is a rather neglected aspect in bed rest studies. The aim of the study was to clarify which specific personality pattern may predict the performance of bed rest study participants.Materials and methodsPersonality traits were correlated with participants’ performance rated by the team running the study. The sample consisted of N = 68 participants who took part in one of four different studies. A broad set of personality traits correlated with different performance aspects (stability, perseverance, modesty, flexibility, compliance, likability, social adaptation).ResultsEmotional instability showed the highest correlations. Furthermore, participants with low aggressiveness, low empathy and low achievement motivation were rated as more suitable for a study. Additionally, participants with a high extraversion showed a higher social adaptation.DiscussionThe results contribute to the knowledge of the impact of personality in extremely demanding environments and provide first evidence for the identification of an ideal personality profile predicting performance of bed rest study participants.

КОНЦЕПТУАЛЬНІ ЗАСАДИ ФОРМУВАННЯ ІНКЛЮЗИВНОГО РИНКУ ПРАЦІ В УКРАЇНІ

Introduction. In the conditions of war, Ukraine faces numerous challenges that affect the socio-economic situation and the functioning of the labor market. At the same time, the formation of an inclusive labor market, which is able to provide equal opportunities for all citizens, including vulnerable groups of the population, which will contribute to social cohesion and economic stability of the country, becomes particularly relevant. This requires the formation of conceptual approaches to the creation of an inclusive labor market in Ukraine, taking into account the peculiarities of wartime and the challenges facing the country. The purpose of the article. The purpose of the study is to determine the conceptual foundations of the formation of an inclusive labor market in Ukraine in wartime conditions based on the identification of the main challenges for attracting vulnerable population groups to the labor market and the development of ways to overcome them in order to ensure the social and economic stability of the state. Methods. The research methodology is based on a comprehensive approach, which includes the analysis of scientific literature, regulatory and legal framework and statistical data. The research uses methods of comparative analysis to determine barriers in the labor market, a systematic approach to determine the conceptual foundations of inclusiveness, and a method of logical generalization to determine practical ways to solve the identified problems. Results. The article identifies the need for the formation of an inclusive labor market in Ukraine in the conditions of war, when socio-economic instability affects access to employment for various population groups. The main barriers to the participation of vulnerable population groups in the labor market, including veterans, internally displaced persons, people with disabilities, youth and women, have been identified. The analysis of the modern legal framework showed that there is currently a shortage of state support tools for their employment. The importance of cooperation between the state, business and the public sector to create equal employment opportunities has been proven. Conceptual approaches to the formation of an inclusive labor market are defined: implementation of professional retraining programs, development of social entrepreneurship and adaptation of workplaces. The need for the formation of a state policy aimed at ensuring equal access to the labor market for all population groups and strengthening the economic stability of Ukraine has been proven. Conclusions. The importance of the formation of an inclusive labor market in Ukraine as a key element of socio-economic stability in the conditions of war has been proven. The proposed conceptual principles ensure the expansion of opportunities for vulnerable population groups, the reduction of unemployment and the increase of social cohesion.

Skin Barrier Dysfunction in Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma: From Pathogenic Mechanism of Barrier Damage to Treatment.

Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) is a group of non-Hodgkin lymphomas characterized by multiple erythematous patches, plaques, or even nodules on the skin. As the disease progresses, patients develop widespread pruritic skin lesions, leading to skin barrier dysfunction, which significantly impacts their quality of life, appearance, and social adaptation. The pathogenesis of CTCL is not fully understood. Recent studies have recognized the important role of skin barrier dysfunction in the development and progression of CTCL, yet a comprehensive review on this topic is lacking. This review summarizes recent findings on skin barrier dysfunction in CTCL, focusing on physical barrier dysfunction, chronic inflammation, and immune dysregulation. We also discuss current and potential therapies aimed at restoring barrier function in CTCL. By emphasizing the integration of barrier-centric approaches into CTCL management, this review provides valuable insights for improving treatment outcomes.

CHILDREN WITH THIS DISEASE AND THEIR EPIDEMIOLOGY, ETIOLOGY, PREVENTION, TREATMENT

Congenital cleft lip, alveolar process and cleft palate are among the most difficult deformities of the maxillofacial region, the number of children with such deformities is 1 per 1000 newborns and continues to grow [3, 4, 13, 18]. Treatment and rehabilitation of such patients is an urgent problem due to abnormal facial development and secondary deformities, speech and chewing disorders, a long recovery period and the need for social adaptation of the child [8]. Modern literature describes the treatment of children with complications of cleft lip and palate, and there is an opinion about the need for an integrated approach [11, 19]. Children with this disease can receive full-fledged rehabilitation and social adaptation in specialized medical centers [7, 14]. The aim of the work is to demonstrate the effectiveness of interaction between orthodontists and maxillofacial surgeons on the example of a clinical case of complex rehabilitation of a patient with congenital cleft of the left upper lip, alveolar process and cleft palate.

Ethnoecology: The Community Adaptation Patterns of Forest Management in Grobogan Central Java

The aims of this research are to describe community adaptation patterns and determine community perceptions regarding forest environmental management. This qualitative research was studied using an ethnoecological approach with the research focus being the people of the Perhutani area of ​​Grobogan Regency. This research carried out the data collection through interviews, observation and documentation, with the main informant being Pesanggem as a forest land manager. This research produced the first findings in the form of community adaptation patterns in managing the environment covering three aspects, namely ecological adaptation, economic adaptation and social adaptation in the Pesanggem community in Gedangan Village, Wirosari District under the auspices of BKPH Sambirejo. 1) Ecological adaptation in Pesanggem showed the availability of well water which previously only relied on rainwater, then adjustments to various types of plants, as well as an understanding of prohibitions and sanctions for illegal activities in forest areas; 2) economic adaptation showed an increase in income for Pesanggem from forest land management; 3) social adaptation showed the existence of cooperation between members and other farmer groups within the LMDH forum. The second finding is that the public's perception in interpreting environmental management is that there are 5 values, namely the values ​​of wisdom, independence, religion, creativity and healthy living. Based on the research results, the author recommends that forest area communities be involved in managing and guarding forests for generational sustainability, and Perum Perhutani should invite partners from surrounding school institutions as a means of educating generations in joint forest management.
