2025-06-01T13:08:54+00:00

The impact of stress on university students is a growing concern worldwide, with academic pressures, social expectations, and personal challenges contributing significantly to elevated stress levels. Stress, if not properly managed, can lead to negative outcomes such as poor academic performance, mental health issues, and overall life dissatisfaction. This study evaluates the effectiveness of structured stress management training modules designed to reduce stress levels among university students. Through a mixed-methods approach, incorporating both quantitative and qualitative analysis, the study demonstrates that these training modules can significantly reduce students’ perceived stress, enhance their coping mechanisms, and improve their overall well-being. The findings suggest that incorporating such programs within university curricula could be a proactive strategy to combat the pervasive issue of student stress.

Transformation of the Social Structure in A Renewing Uzbekistan

2025-06-17T20:51:37+00:00

Since the launch of wide-ranging political and economic reforms in 2017, Uzbekistan has been experiencing one of the most rapid social restructurings in post-Soviet Eurasia. Accelerated GDP growth (6.5 % in 2024), steady poverty reduction (national rate down from 17 % in 2021 to 11 % in 2023), and ambitious gender-equality legislation are simultaneously eroding Soviet-era hierarchies and giving rise to a more diversified class system. This article analyses the drivers, manifestations, and contradictions of that transformation, drawing on the latest data from the World Bank, IOM, and domestic statistical releases.

The Role of Preschool Education in The Formation of The Social Capital of People with Disabilities

2025-06-14T06:00:27+00:00

Preschool education is a significant indicator in the formation of human capital from an early age, especially for children with disabilities. The article analyzes the existing preschool child care services provided by both the public and private sectors, and allows us to conclude that a certain part of children with disabilities remains excluded from the education system due to the insufficient development of various service models and the growing birth rate of children with disabilities in certain regions of the Republic of Uzbekistan. In the article, the author substantiates the role of preschool education in the formation of the social capital of people with disabilities.

The Use of Individual Methods for Preserving and Developing Children's Speech Characteristics in American-Slavic Families

2025-06-10T12:15:34+00:00

This article is dedicated to examining individualized methods for preserving and developing children’s speech characteristics in American–Slavic families. The growing prevalence of mixed-language households and the risk of heritage-language attrition underscore the relevance of targeted interventions. Drawing on nine recent studies, the paper analyzes four key domains: heritage-language assessment tools, shared-syntax priming, home-based socialization strategies, and school-based immersion models. Novelty lies in synthesizing clinical linguistics, psycholinguistic priming, ethnographic family practices, and policy analysis into a unified framework. Within the work, it describes Sentence‐Repetition‐Task scoring schemas, investigates structural priming data, and explores case studies of “One Parent, One Language” and lullaby‐based sessions. Particular attention is paid to how error‐type allowances and high‐frequency constructions can reinforce Slavic speech development. The study sets out to identify best practices for dual‐language vitality and to propose a hybrid model adaptable to Ukrainian and American schools. Methods include comparative analysis, source synthesis, and case‐study evaluation. In conclusion, it outlines an integrated model for assessment, curriculum, family engagement, and programme design. This article will benefit speech-language pathologists, bilingual educators, and policymakers.

The Role of Creative Self-Expression in Developing Confidence in Adolescents Through Dance Education

2025-06-18T05:03:48+00:00

The article examines the impact of dance education on the development of confidence in adolescents within the context of contemporary educational environments. The study is based on a comparison between an original methodology—developed by the author and integrating academic and somatic practices—and current national and international research in the fields of dance pedagogy, somatic therapy, and developmental psychology. Special attention is given to the analysis of three key developmental domains: bodily awareness, initiative, and emotional self-presentation. Both quantitative and qualitative data collected over eight years of pedagogical practice are presented, including changes in confidence levels documented through surveys, observations, and self-reports. The article highlights the fundamental differences between classical and creative approaches to dance instruction, demonstrating the superiority of the latter in fostering students’ internal stability and sense of agency. It also analyzes the role of collective creativity and the sense of belonging as socio-psychological factors contributing to the reinforcement of adolescent confidence. Three summary tables are included to illustrate indicator dynamics, comparative effects of methodologies, and social conditions influencing confidence development. The findings suggest that bodily self-expression through dance contributes to reduced anxiety, increased initiative, and the formation of stable self-esteem in adolescents. The article will be of interest to dance educators, specialists in adolescent psychology, organizers of extracurricular programs, and researchers exploring interdisciplinary approaches to developing confidence and agency during the transitional period of adolescence.

Social Networks as A Tool for Promoting and Interacting with Indie Game Communities

2025-06-12T05:53:41+00:00

This study analyzes the impact of social media on the development, promotion of indie games, and the communication between developers and their audience. The relevance of the topic is determined by the increasing importance of digital channels and platforms through which gamers discover new projects via YouTube, Twitter (X), Reddit, and other resources. The novelty of the research lies in a comprehensive analysis of indie studios' strategies based on social media marketing (SMM) tools and community management. The study explores user preferences, motivations for subscribing to studio accounts, and the types of content that generate engagement, such as development updates, contests, and behind-the-scenes materials.

The research draws on the works of I.O. Gavrikov, I.O. Guk, I.O. Kovrizhnykh, I.O. Kamankin, P.P. Smirnov, and international scholars (Freeman, Bankov, Chuang) to identify audience engagement patterns across different social networks. The study examines micro-streamers, giveaways, and user-generated content (UGC) within the engagement framework. The objective is to provide recommendations for building a loyal community and increasing brand recognition. The research employs methods of comparative analysis, statistical data synthesis, and content analysis. The conclusion outlines prospects for further studies and justifies the practical value of the findings. This material is of interest to indie developers and marketers seeking effective digital promotion strategies.
