Leta, V. V. (2024). Statistical analysis of water quality indicators in the Tisa River’s transboundary section. European Scientific e-Journal, 33, pp. 96-107. Ostrava: Tuculart Edition & European Institute for Innovation Development.

DOI: 10.47451/soc2024-10-01

Abstract:

In today’s conditions, when river basin systems are undergoing anthropogenic transformation and considering the multifactorial impact of economic activity on the environment, there is a need for a comprehensive analysis of surface water quality. Since river waters are closely connected with the catchment area, they serve as indicators of the geo-environmental state of the entire basin system. When selecting the research object – a transboundary section of the Tisa in Zakarpattia Oblast (Dilove – Tyachiv) – not only natural factors that shape river water quality but also various anthropogenic pressures were considered. The Tisa basin in the Rakhiv district is of great ecological, economic and transboundary significance. The study aims to assess the water quality of the Tisa’s transboundary section from Dilove to Tyachiv. The objectives are to substantiate the scientific basis for environmental studies of surface waters, analyse the hydrochemical parameters of water quality in the transboundary section of the Tisa, based on the stock materials of the Tisa Basin’s water resources management, determine the quality of river waters in the section of the Tisa, using the methodology for assessing water quality by a complex indicator – the hydrochemical water pollution index; identifying natural and anthropogenic factors that affect the physical and chemical indicators of water quality; developing recommendations for improving water quality within the study area. The study applies a systematic approach to analysing the water quality of the Tisa, which aims to optimise nature management and increase the effectiveness of water protection measures. General scientific methods, such as retrospective analysis, systematic and structural approach, and evaluation methods, like special methods, such as mathematical and statistical analysis, semi-stationary observations, and cartographic studies, were used. The main tool used in the study is the methodology for assessing water quality based on the hydrochemical water pollution index.

Keywords:

DOI: 10.47451/soc2024-09-04

Abstract:

The article discusses the perfectionism concept in various aspects of human activity, which is of great interest to both foreign and domestic scholars. This interest can be explained by the high pace of life, social changes, growing competition, the cult of rationality and the desire for perfection that prevails in modern society. Modern psychologists interpret the term “эperfectionism” as an individual’s desire to improve himself or herself and achieve perfection in all areas of activity. Perfectionism manifests in setting excessively high-performance standards, accompanying this practice with critical self-evaluations and anxiety about the judgements of others. In the context of professional activities, it can contribute to success and lead to burnout and reduced productivity. Research on this topic helps to understand how perfectionistic tendencies shape personality and professional strategies, like their impact on mental health. Perfectionism has a significant effect on the efficiency and effectiveness of professional activities. Most researchers believe it hurts professional performance, leading to decreased productivity, chronic fatigue, self-dissatisfaction, procrastination, burnout syndrome, and fear of failure. However, some scholars point to positive aspects of perfectionism that contribute to personal development. Prospects for further research focus on an empirical analysis of the impact of perfectionism on professional activities, which may help to identify new ways to support mental health and work performance.

Psychological features of the beginnings of emotional intelligence, personality type and psycho-emotional states of students under martial law. European Scientific e-Journal, 33, pp. 80-89. Ostrava: Tuculart Edition & European Institute for Innovation Development.

DOI: 10.47451/soc2024-09-03

Abstract:

Under martial law, the psychological burden on students increases significantly. Students face many stressors. Distance learning has become an integral part of the educational process. This significantly affected the psychoemotional state of students, as they face isolation, increased levels of anxiety and frustration due to limited social contact and altered learning routines. Psychoemotional states affect not only mental health but also students’ academic performance. The study aims to research the psychoemotional states of students under martial law during Distance Learning in higher education institutions, taking into account their extraversion or introversion and their level of emotional intelligence. The study object is the psychoemotional state of students in higher education institutions during distance learning under martial law. The study subject is the relationship between the personality type (extraversion, introversion), the level of emotional intelligence and psychoemotional states (anxiety, frustration, aggressiveness, rigidity) of students in the conditions of distance learning under martial law – study base students of Mukachevo State University. The sample consisted of 120 people. These are students of various courses who study remotely and voluntarily consent to participate in our study. To achieve this goal, psychodiagnostic methods were used: “self-assessment of states of anxiety, frustration, aggressiveness and rigidity” (an adapted version of the G. Eysenck test), a method for studying the emotional intelligence of J.R.R. Tolkien-Stein; method of identifying typological features of K. Jung’s personality. Mathematical and static data processing and correlation analysis were used to analyse the results obtained. Based on the results obtained using K. Jung’s method, the main typological features of students’ personalities are determined. In the selected typological groups (according to the process of K. Jung) according to the test of J.R.R. Tolkien. Stein was diagnosed with emotional intelligence levels. A generalisation of the results obtained using the “self-assessment of mental states” (an adapted version of the G. Eysenck test) allows us to state that extroverts show increased anxiety and frustration. They need additional measures to develop emotional stability. Introverts show better stress tolerance with low levels of anxiety and aggressiveness, but a small part may be prone to frustration. Ambiverts are the most stable group, with low levels of anxiety and frustration, showing flexibility in their behaviour. Empirical results allow us to draw the following conclusions. Extroversion dominates among students, which indicates the majority's desire for active social interaction even under martial law. At the same time, a significant percentage of introverts indicate the existence of a group of students who, during a crisis, choose internal work on their emotional state and independent adaptation. A few ambiverts confirm the tendency to have well-defined personality types (extroverts or introverts) rather than a balance between them. Under martial law, each typological group shows its unique responses to stress. Correlation analysis revealed interesting patterns: emotional intelligence plays a crucial role in regulating states of anxiety and frustration. A higher level of emotional intelligence contributes to better control over these states. Aggressiveness was not associated with emotional intelligence, indicating different formation mechanisms. Rigidity also does not correlate with emotional intelligence, suggesting its independence from emotional regulation processes. The results can serve as a basis for developing psychological support strategies with a focus on developing emotional intelligence to reduce anxiety and frustration. At the same time, it is significant to consider other factors to effectively manage aggression and rigidity in extreme conditions, such as war.

DOI: 10.47451/soc2024-09-01

Abstract:

The article addresses the significance of sexual self-regulation as a critical component of sexual behaviour and development during adolescence. It explores the cognitive-behavioural factors that influence the formation of healthy sexual self-regulation. The focus is placed on both internal and external factors that affect psychosexual development in adolescence. The study’s relevance is driven by the need to foster healthy sexual self-regulation in the context of modern social challenges, risky sexual behaviours, and psychological issues, such as early pregnancy, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), or emotional trauma. The study’s object encompasses a broad spectrum of cognitive-behavioural influences that shape and regulate healthy sexuality during adolescence. Biological changes during adolescence, like social interactions with the environment, particularly the impact of parents, peers, and media, are crucial. The article aims to conduct a theoretical investigation and systematise the cognitive and behavioural mechanisms contributing to healthy sexual self-regulation. The study’s tasks include reviewing scientific publications on this topic, identifying key factors that promote the development of healthy sexual self-regulation, and determining cultural, gender, and social factors that impact the formation of self-regulation. Systematic review methods were employed in the study. The works of researchers such as Crandall, Magnusson, Novilla, Silitonga, Almigo, Pringle, Hasiuk, Fedyk, Smolska, Kryvoruka, and others are reviewed, focusing on the impact of cognitive-behavioral factors on self-regulation in adolescence. It is expected that cognitive-behavioural approaches will contribute to developing healthy sexual behaviour in adolescence, reducing the risks of physiological and psychological problems.

Abstract:

The article is devoted to the study of the actual processes of functioning of socially responsible business, its role as a subject of the modern democratic state of sustainable development, in solving social problems. The basis for the formation of corporate social responsibility of business and factors that contribute to or hinder the implementation of its initiative are clarified. The purpose of the article is to summarize the directions of development of socially responsible business and justify the possibility of adapting the Corporate Social Responsibility initiative in Ukraine in the context of dynamic changes. The methodological basis of the carried-out researches was general theoretical approaches and philosophical methods of scientific knowledge: induction and deduction; historical; analysis and synthesis; systematic approach; method of expert assessments and generalizations, etc. The information base of the study was the current regulatory and legislative acts on the formation of state social standards and state social guarantees in Ukraine, official analytical and statistical materials, monographic and periodicals of domestic and foreign scientists. In particular, modern trends in the implementation of socially oriented principles in the activities of business structures in Ukraine were investigated by T.P. Gitis, A.H. Zinchenko, A.M. Kolot, N.V. Losovska, K.P. Lyashuk, M.A. Saprykina, L.S. Seliverstova, O.O. Trut and others. Among the foreign authors, whose works on this topic are of considerable interest, should be called I.
