The article investigates the problem of studying the vitality according to domestic and foreign approaches. The concept of “vitality” and its components, peculiarities of vitality and stress interrelation are considered. The factors that cause stress in humans and the mechanisms of vitality that reduce the impact of stress factors on an individual, as well as characteristics of a student’s age being one of sensitive periods of their manifestation and development of vitality are shown. The author empirically investigates special features and components of vitality development of students-psychologists, who are in their 1-4 years of study at the university. The research involved 80 students from the University after Ushinsky. The following research methods were used: the vitality test by S. Maddy (adapted by D.O. Leontiev and O.I. Rasskazova), the method of life meaningful orientation by D.O. Leontiev, questionnaire “The idea of information and psychological safety” by T.O. Basanova. Spearman’s correlation method and U. Mann-Whitney’s test were used for statistical analysis. According to the results of the study, it was found that the level of the students’ vitality in their 1-4 years was average but a significant increase in indicators was found in those who were in their third year. Peculiarities of the students’ life awareness with different levels of vitality are revealed. Besides, the connections between the indicators of vitality and the components of life meaningful orientations of testees’ are presented. The level of information-and-psychological safety of students and its connection with vital indicators is investigated.

Abstract Currently there is a huge debate on whether meteorological and air quality parameters are playing a crucial role in the transmission of COVID-19 across the globe. On this background, this study aims to evaluate the impact of air pollutants (PM2.5, PM10, CO, NOx, SO2, AQI), and meteorological parameters (temperature, humidity, wind speed, and rainfall) on the spread, recoveries and mortality due to COVID-19 outbreak in Delhi. Spearman’s correlation method is employed on a secondary data collected from the Ministry of Environment, India and the COVID-19 data collected using daily government health bulletins for Delhi. Our result shows that the COVID-19 incidences are significantly positively correlated with temperature (r infections= 0.90, r recoveries= 0.84, r deaths= 0.83, p<0.05) and negatively correlated with humidity (r infections = -0.63, r recoveries = -0.58, r deaths = -0.56, p<0.05). This finding indicates that temperature and humidity play a significant role on the infections, recoveries and deaths due to the COVID-19. The study results may be useful for policymakers in managing the outbreak of COVID-19 in Delhi, India.

This study investigated the scope, process, and effects of student participation in university governance, including student government. The study demonstrated that students are capable of administering their own affairs, satisfying various student needs, and protecting the political interests of students. Students were extensively involved in university academic and administrative decision-making at different levels. However, student associations as organized forces had much greater influence than did students at large. Both environmental and personal factors affected the impact of student participation in university governance. Although student participation in university governance is deemed indispensable, student participants must hone their group decision-making skills and demonstrate commitment to the mission of the university and its long-term interests.

Insight Into

The incentive for launching an entrepreneurial venture determines also the entrepreneur’s striving towards the growth of the venture, development of innovation or business internationalization. Assessment and understanding of outcomes of the launched entrepreneurial venture is possible if one have insight into both endeavor and motivation of an entrepreneur towards expressed entrepreneurial initiative. Entrepreneurs as holders of the entrepreneurial process based on recognition and profitable exploitation of identified opportunities, often find possibilities of venture growth outside the borders of their country. Internationalization of business is available to new established entrepreneurial ventures. Using available technologies, innovative products/services and available market, they find potential for entrepreneurial venture growth outside the framework of national economies. Therefore, the subject of this paper is analysis of the impact of the business internationalization on entrepreneurial venture, observing it towards maturity stage of entrepreneurial ventures. The aim of this paper is to determine relationship between business internationalization and maturity of entrepreneurial venture. For the purpose of analysis of interaction between the observed variables, database of Global Entrepreneurship Monitor has been used. For statistical analysis Spearman's correlation coefficient has been used. The results of statistical analysis confirmed a positive correlation between the level of business internationalization and maturity of the entrepreneurial venture. Also, a positive correlation has been confirmed between the level of education and business internationalization. Within this relationship, higher degree of entrepreneurial education simultaneously means a higher degree of business internationalization

Introduction. Drought and high temperature are two of the key factors of the environment limiting crop capacity of grains. Response of the plants to drought and high temperature is very complex and includes interaction between various molecular, physiological and biochemical processes. Synthesis of a number of proteins present under normal conditions, including lectins, increases along with synthesis of stress proteins under adverse conditions.Aim. The goal of our study is to identify the changes in the activity and biochemical characteristics of soluble lectins in maize seedlings with different drought tolerance under water and heat stress in order to create new biochemical methods for assessing drought tolerance.Methods. Three-day young sprouts of corn lines (Zea mays L.) with different levels of drought tolerance were used in the research: drought-tolerant lines Od 329, IK107 zM, non-drought tolerant lines GK 26, IK107VS3 / 66. Lectin activity was defined on the basis of their ability to agglutinate trypsinized erythrocytes of white rats. Electrophoresis was performed in 10 % PAGE following the Laemmli method.Results. The study enabled us to identify increase in soluble lectin activity (244-281 % of the reference value) under the given stress factors in drought-tolerant lines, and decrease in soluble lectin activity (39 - 79 % of reference value) under the given stress factors in non-drought-tolerant lines. Soluble lectins were isolated and purifid using salting out with ammonium sulfate, dialysis and affiity chromatography. The molecular weight of the isolated soluble lectins is in the range of 50-60 kDa. The isolated lectins had a high affiity for N-acetylglucosamine and D-fructose-6-phosphate.Conclusion. Therefore, it has been established that corn lines with positively different levels of drought tolerance are characterized by varying activity of soluble lectins.

AbstractOne of the expectations of society from schooling is to develop students’ prosocial behaviors having roots in their knowledge, beliefs and social attitudes.  But the assessment procedures related to students’ social thinking and attitudes are generally missing in the instructional system.  The study, therefore, to fill the gap diagnosed as whether schooling offered something that developed students’ social attitudes, a prerequisite of prosocial behaviors. Hence, the preset empirical investigation explored the impact of schooling on the development of students’ social attitudes.  A sample from 16 schools of 480 students was taken, for which a ‘social attitude scale’, having four subscales, i.e., a) concern for others’ welfare, b) respect for laws, c) respect for others’ property and d) sensitivity to social issues, was developed to collect data.  Results of data analysis revealed that the overall impact of different levels of schooling for upward positive increase in students’ social attitude was negligible, although elementary schooling contributed more, as compared to secondary level.  Similarly public sector schooling across three stages had more impact on students’ social attitudes as compared to private sector schools.Keywords: Schools, Social attitudes, Prosocial and antisocial behaviors, Public and                   Private schooling
