Authors: Yousuf Adnan B. , Brown David , Ginnidza Muzi , Zaid Abraha-Eyob , Sismour Edward
Published: December 2023

Sorghum grain (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) is gaining importance amongst livestock producers and animal nutritionists. Newly developed sorghum varieties should be evaluated for their suitability in small ruminant ration. The aim of this research was to determine the physico-chemical characteristics of ten sorghum varieties as potential feed for small ruminants. There were no significant differences (P > 0.05) in DM, CP and CF contents of the ten sorghum varieties. The sorghum black had higher GE, NDF and ADF contents and ATxArg had higher oil and mineral contents. Similarly, sorghum varieties labelled black, red, R17049 and FZ2CND were characterized by high tannins, phenolic and redness contents. Marcia, R17231, RTx436 contained high levels of yellowness and lightness. Fatty acid profile also varies amongst the ten varieties. The results of this study demonstrated that physiochemical and nutritional properties of sorghum varied by varieties.

Authors: Soltani Nader , Shropshire Christy , Sikkema Peter H.
Published: December 2023

During 2021 and 2022, four experiments were conducted to ascertain the sensitivity of azuki bean to saflufenacil herbicide mixtures, and five experiments were conducted to determine the control of multiple herbicide-resistant (MHR) Canada fleabane with various saflufenacil herbicide mixtures applied preplant (PP) in soybean at various locations in southwestern Ontario, Canada. At 1, 2, 4, and 8 weeks after emergence (WAE), glyphosate + saflufenacil caused 2-5% azuki bean injury. The addition of metribuzin, bromoxynil, halauxifen-methyl, or 2,4-D ester caused 2-7%, 2-4%, 4-9%, and 2-4% azuki bean injury, respectively. Glyphosate + saflufenacil + bromoxynil plus either metribuzin, halauxifen-methyl, or 2,4-D ester caused 3-7%, 5-11%, and 3-6% azuki bean injury, respectively. Saflufenacil mixtures evaluated had no adverse effect on azuki bean stand, biomass m-1, biomass plant-1, height, seed moisture content, or yield. At 4 and 8 weeks after application (WAA), glyphosate + saflufenacil control MHR Canada fleabane 93 and 87%, respectively; there was no improvement in MHR Canada fleabane control with the glyphosate + saflufenacil mixtures evaluated. At 8 WAA, saflufenacil herbicide mixtures evaluated reduced MHR Canada fleabane density 43-95% and biomass 47-96%; differences were not statistically significant. MHR Canada fleabane interference reduced soybean yield 50%; however, reduced MHR Canada fleabane interference with all glyphosate + saflufenacil mixtures evaluated resulted in soybean yield that was similar to the weed-free control. This study concludes that saflufenacil herbicide mixtures evaluated have the potential to be used for the control MHR Canada fleabane in azuki bean.

Published: December 2023

Maize-soybean intercropping systems as a conservation farming practice are receiving increased focus from the scientific community. This is because of the advantages of intercropping, especially nutrient benefits through cereal-legume interactions, alternative sustainable methods to manage biotic stress (pests, diseases, weeds), and crop failure risk management due to erratic weather. In addition, smallholders in developing countries commonly use intercropping to produce crops. In Uganda, 40% of smallholder farmers are practicing intercropping yet no adequate location-specific information is available to inform their practice. Farmers who adopted conservation farming practices did not mulch their maize due to drudgery associated with collecting mulch. This study evaluated the effect of two tillage methods (T1 = Conventional tillage using ox drawn mould board plough, T2 = Minimum tillage using ox drawn ripper) and five soil cover practices (SC1 = Mulched Maize, SC2 = Control no mulch, SC3 = Two rows of soybean in between one row of maize, SC4 = One row of soybean in between one row of maize, SC5 = Sole soybean) on maize and soybean yield performance. The trials were established for 4 rainy seasons on a sandy loam ferrosol at National Agricultural Research Organization Institute in Lira, Uganda. Soil cover practice had a significant effect on maize and soybean crop Yield. Mulching significantly increased maize yield and LAI. The LER for both intercropping partterns were above 1.2. Tillage methods were not significantly different in determining crop performance. The practice of minimum tillage should also be adopted because it enhances the positive effects of soil cover (intercropping). We recommend farmers to adopt the intercropping pattern of one row of soybean in between maize row spaced at 75 × 30 cm for better LER, and crop performance. This intercropping pattern maximizes on available resources to deliver better output in conservation farming. Maize crop generally performed better during first season as compared to second season. We recommend farmers to utilize the first rains as the main maize production season.

"Boosted by the COVID-19 pandemic, the adoption of technology has shifted people’s lifestyles, impacting social interactions and leading to an increase in the use of telemedicine, including teledermatology (TD). Social media platforms facilitate communication between patients and physicians, between primary care physicians and specialists, and between dermatologists. The study aimed to assess the attitudes, views, and usage of dermatologists regarding TD consultations. A cross-sectional study was performed with the use of an anonymous, web-based questionnaire intended to be completed by dermatologists. A total number of 73 physicians, both resident and board-certified dermatologists completed the survey. Almost everyone (98.6%) used some form of teledermatology, the most frequently used platforms being WhatsApp, followed by classical telephone calls/messages, email, and other forms of TD. TD is considered to be especially useful in communicating with peer colleagues (94.4%), with physicians of other specialties (90.0%), with family doctors (72.9%) and with patients (69.9%). Since TD can facilitate the treatment-related follow-up of adverse effects, while also being useful in the triage of patients, its use will likely increase in the future. The main concerns were related to the accuracy of the diagnosis through TD, a less developed doctor-patient relationship, a less informative consultation, an increased workload as well and a diminished financial reimbursement. Dermatologists currently use TD in addition to the classical consultations of patients, as well as to communicate with family physicians and peer colleagues to better manage complex cases. Furthermore, TD proves to be an important tool in the education of young dermatologists."
Towards Designing Choreography Curriculum Template for African Contemporary Dance Using Dayo Liadi’s Olori-Oko Dance Performance
Authors: Lawal Yeside Dosumu-
Published: December 2023

Modern dance techniques such as choreography gives the genre a unique language that can be used to expand the dance technique and dance composition as used by choreographers. Dayo Liadi as a choreographer and study in this article has used contemporary dance genre of body gestures to communicate his message through signs and cultural symbols, towards the appreciation from the audience. However, there are many thematic areas including space, shapes, images, body movement, and other paraphernalia employed in the style called contemporary dance type of choreography. Thus, all of these must be preserved and replicated as unique dance techniques. Therefore, the need to study and propose an indigenous choreography curriculum that emanates from Dayo Liadi’s creative work i.e. Olori Oko performance. The study is anchored on Michael Forkine’s Perspective of Adorno Theodor’s Philosophical Aesthetic theory. This is with the view to incorporate home-grown curriculum contents into dance studies in theatre schools in Nigeria and in Africa. The study adopted quantitative research method, involving participants’ observation, transcription and content analysis of lyrics and video using a checklist to conduct thorough video pre-view and review of the choreographic work. Major findings revealed a need for collaboration and performances to sharpen and widen the horizon of the artistic and creativity appreciation, with the view to incorporate new dance techniques into the Nigerian and African dance techniques such as incorporated in Dayo Liadi’s creative work. The study recommend direct implementation or adoption of the proposed curriculum template as part of choreography dance studies in theatre curriculum among departments in higher institutions Nigeria and Africa.
Narco Analysis: A Comparative Study with Respect to India and Western Countries
Authors: Dogra Jyaditya
Published: December 2023

Microanalysis, a research method that uses pharmacological agents to induce a relaxed state in subjects to gather information, has become a controversial practice in criminal investigations worldwide. This research paper undertakes an in-depth comparative analysis of drug testing methods in the Indian context and Western countries and unravels the complex legal, ethical and procedural web surrounding its application. The historical development of microanalysis unfolds against the backdrop of differently developed legal frameworks in Indian and Western jurisdictions. This study moves through the maze of legal complexities, examining the legal provisions, court decisions and precedents that shape the permission and limitations of drug testing in both regions. A careful examination of procedural changes forms the backbone of this study, where we explore the step-by-step processes involved in drug testing. A comparative analysis reveals the different protocols followed in India and selected Western countries, revealing the roles of medical professionals and legal authorities in facilitating or controlling the procedure. Ethical considerations that explore the moral implications of using drug testing as an interrogation are central to this debate. Public and professional opinion in India and the West is considered, illuminating different perspectives that contribute to the ongoing debate on the ethics of drug testing. The study brings together clear case studies where pharmacoanalysis has been used and highlights the similarities and differences between Indian and Western applications. As noted in the paper, it synthesizes key findings and considers the broader implications of comparative research. The study discusses the future trajectory of drug analysis, considering possible trends, emerging technologies and alternative methods that may shape the landscape of research practices in both India and the West.

Published: December 2023

This study examines the impact of holistic intervention programs for Children in Conflict with the Law (CICL) who underwent rehabilitation at Bahay Pag-Asa. The research investigates the experiences of the children, challenges encountered during the intervention programs, strategies employed to address these challenges, the effects of the programs on rehabilitation, and the valuable lessons learned. The findings of the study show that while some children had positive experiences and benefited from vocational training, sports, and spiritual enhancement, others faced difficulties adapting to the structured environment and needed more personalized attention. The intervention programs positively influenced rehabilitation, increasing self-awareness, improved social skills, and enhanced vocational abilities. However, the study identified challenges like loneliness, homesickness, and social problems. The findings highlight the need for ongoing support, individualized interventions, and comprehensive reintegration strategies. This research contributes to understanding practical rehabilitation approaches for CICL and underscores the importance of holistic programs in promoting successful reintegration into society.

Suppose that people seek confidentiality in what would otherwise be a public process—such as litigating or applying for a firearms license—because they are afraid that publicly identifying them will stigmatize them in their (or their families’) religious communities. Should the law allow them to proceed anonymously to better protect their interests and to avoid discouraging their lawsuits or applications? Or would that unduly stigmatize the religious community by branding it as improperly censorious or judgmental—or interfere with religious community members’ ability to evaluate for themselves how their coreligionists are using the courts and other government processes?

Published: December 2023

Tree volume models have become an important decision-making tool in forest resources management. The objective of this work was to create Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) to fit individual tree models from the Brazilian Savanna (the Cerrado biome), characterized by non-straight and very bifurcated tree stems. Data were collected in two different areas and through different methods: i) individual tree volume by digital photographs, and also by tree climbing measurements (both obtained in a non-destructive way); ii) tree volumes measured destructively by the traditional rigorous cubing procedure after thinning. Data obtained from climbing measurements were compared with the corresponding tree obtained from digital photographs, resulting in a reasonable operational linear relation of 0.80. Ten ANN structures were created with different combinations of forestry variables. Five ANN structures depicted predictive ability results above 0.80. Then, the results obtained by ANN were compared with those obtained by classic tree volumetric models, once again showing the predictive superiority of ANN. The present study indicates that tree volume obtained from digital photographs, achieved by popular mobiles, can be safely used for the estimation of very-crooked trees from the Brazilian Savanna and demonstrated the greater predictive ability of ANN in relation to the classic regression-based volumetric models in terms of lower modeling bias.

Published: December 2023

The aim of the present study is to examine the effects of serotonin synthesis inhibition with p-Chlorophenylalanine (p-CPA) in rats on (1) anxiety behavior examined in the light-dark crossing test and, (2) regional brain concentration of monoamines (NA, DA and 5-HT) and their metabolites (MHPG, DOPAC, HVA and 5-HIAA) as well as GABA in the hypothalamus, amygdala, hippocampus, midbrain central gray matter and the frontal cortex. Treatment of animals with p-CP A produced a significant increase in time out from the illuminated part of the chamber and in time of locomotor activity in the illuminated part of the chamber. HPLC analysis showed a significant reduction of 5-HT and 5-HIAA concentration in all examined brain regions with the exception of the frontal cortex. Additionally, a significant decrease in DA and its metabolites, DOPAC and HVA occurred in the hypothalamus and amygdala. Moreover, we observed a significant decrease in frontal cortex NA concentration after p-CPA administration. The results of our study suggest that administration of p-CPA is effective in reduction of anxiety through depletion of 5-HT accompanied by diminution of catecholamines, especially DA and its metabolites in the main emotional brain regions.
Overground locomotion in intact rats: interlimb coordination, support patterns and support phases duration
Authors: Górska Teresa , Zmysłowski Wojciech , Majczyński Henryk
Published: December 2023

The interlimb coordination during overground locomotion was analysed in intact rats, using the method of contact electrodes (Górska et al. 1998). It was found that in animals moving with a speed ranging from 10 to 78 cm/s (step cycles 685 to 215 ms, respectively) the interlimb coordination was characterized by homologous phase shifts close to 0.5 and much shorter diagonal than lateral phase shifts. These features corresponded to symmetrical gait with diagonal sequence and diagonal couplets (Hildebrandt 1976). Shortening the step cycle changed the gait from a walking trot (duty factor >0.5) into a running trot (duty factor
Proliferation of mesaxons in the optic nerve of hamsters infected with the Echigo-l strain of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease
Authors: Waliś Anna , Liberski Paweł
Published: December 2023

The Echigo-l strain of CJD was isolated by Mori and colleagues from a case of 33-years-old female with a panencephalopathic type of CJD. An incubation period following intracerebral inoculation of hamsters with l0 % cleared suspension of the Echigo-1-affected brain was approximately six months. We report here ultrastructural changes in the optic nerves. Vacuoles developed within myelinated axons: within axoplasm or within the myelin sheath and these were accompanied by exuberant reaction of macrophages and hypertrophied astrocytes. Axons underwent Wallerian degeneration and dystrophic neurites were also seen. Most important, we observed proliferation of inner mesaxons. Cross-sectional profiles of innumerable myelinated fibers contained membranous organelles which were continuous with the inner lamellae of the oligodendroglial cells. These unusual proliferations of inner mesaxons formed whorls and elaborated loops. In some axons, proliferation was so severe that loops of mesaxon filled the whole cross-section of the axon. Occasionally, we observed intrusion of the membranous tongue of the inner mesaxon into axoplasm.
Senescence and learning in honeybee (Apis mellifera) workers
Authors: Tofilski Adam
Published: December 2023

Foraging by honeybee workers was investigated from the moment of the first foraging flight until death. To minimise the influence of factors other than senescence the foragers were trained to collect food from an artificial flower close to their hive. During each foraging trip the workers repeatedly visited an artificial flower, collecting one microlitre of 50% sugar solution per visit. During the first 50 flights the mean time taken to collect one portion of food decreased significantly and the number of visits to the artificial flower per flight increased significantly. During flights following the 50th flight, the mean time taken to collect one portion of food increased significantly and the number of visits to the artificial flower per flight decreased significantly. The results confirm earlier observations that the foraging behaviour of honeybee workers is not only influenced by learning, but also by the effects of senescence
EEG analysis with nonlinear deterministic and stochastic methods: a combined strategy
Authors: Fell Jürgen , Kaplan Alexander , Darkhovsky Boris , Röschke Joachim
Published: December 2023

We describe nonlinear deterministic versus stochastic methodology, their applications to EEG research and the neurophysiological background underlying both approaches. Nonlinear methods are based on the concept of attractors in phase space. This concept on the one hand incorporates the idea of an autonomous (stationary) system, on the other hand implicates the investigation of a long time evolution. It is an unresolved problem in nonlinear EEG research that nonlinear methods per se give no feedback about the stationarity aspect. Hence, we introduce a combined strategy utilizing both stochastic and nonlinear deterministic methods. We propose, in a first step to segment the EEG time series into piecewise quasi-stationary epochs by means of nonparametric change point analysis. Subsequently, nonlinear measures can be estimated with higher confidence for the segmented epochs fullfilling the stationarity condition.
Effects of pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) on cyclic AMP formation in the duck and goose brain
Authors: Nowak Jerzy , Kuba Katarzyna , Zawilska Jolanta
Published: December 2023

Two molecular forms of pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP), i.e., PACAP27 and PACAP38 (0.0001-1 μM), as well as vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP; 0.1-3 μM), have been studied for their effects on cyclic AMP formation in the hypothalamus and cerebral cortex of duck and goose. All three peptides concentration-dependently stimulated cyclic AMP production in the tested brain regions of 2-3-weeks-old (young) ducks, with VIP showing at least one order of magnitude weaker activity than PACAP. This characteristics suggests the existence in the duck's brain of adenylyl cyclase-linked PAC1 receptors. Both forms of PACAP also stimulated the nucleotide formation in the cerebral cortex and hypothalamus of 5-6-months-old (adult) ducks or geese grown under natural environment. The peptides-evoked effects in adult and young ducks were comparable, and clearly greater than those found in adult geese. The present data extend our recent observations made on chicks, and suggest PACAP to be a potent stimulator of the cyclic AMP generation in the avian central nervous system.

Published: December 2023

The effects of arachidonic acid (AA) on binding of [3H]naloxone to the agonist and antagonist configurations of opioid receptors were investigated in rat brain. Equilibrium binding parameters of the agonist and antagonist configurations of the receptors were evaluated from homologue displacement data in the presence or absence of AA. Addition of AA at a concentration of 0.6 mM (1.5 micromole/mg of protein) reduced by 22% and 53% the maximal number of binding sites (Bmax) respectively in the absence or presence of 100 mM NaCl. Binding affinity (KD) was not altered significantly (P
Modulation of the composition of AP-1 complex and its impact on transcriptional activity
Authors: Kaminska Bozena , Pyrzynska Beata , Ciechomska Iwona , Wiśniewska Marta
Published: December 2023

AP-1 transcription factor known to playa role in cell proliferation and neuronal activation, it is also involved in apoptosis of cells in response to stress, DNA damaging agents or lack of survival signals. AP-l DNA binding complex is not a single transcritpion factor but a dimer consisting of members of Fos and Jun families. In this review, we discuss evidence that composition of the AP-1 complex is different under various physiological and pathophysiological conditions. Furthermore, we describe biochemical properties of Fos and Jun proteins that may explain the ability of this transcription factor to activate different sets of genes in response to different stimuli. We propose a hypothesis that AP-1 might contribute to distinct biological processes because an activation of specific signaling pathways results in changes of AP-1 composition and/or phosphorylation status and modulates its transactivating potential towards different promoters.
Phonological and semantic fluencies are mediated by different regions of the prefrontal cortex
Authors: Szatkowska Iwona , Grabowska Anna , Szymańska Olga
Published: December 2023

Verbal phonological and semantic fluencies were investigated in 24 patients with unilateral prefrontal lesions and 10 normal control subjects. Lesions were limited to small areas within either the dorsolateral (Brodmann's area 46/9) or ventromedial (posterior part of the gyrus rectus) cortices. In a phonological fluency task, patients with lesions to the left dorsolateral region were impaired. In semantic fluency, not only the left dorsolateral group but also the two right frontal damaged groups performed worse than the control group. In agreement with previous studies, our results show that the phonological fluency is mediated by the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex. In contrast to this, performance on the semantic fluency task depends on a wider portion of the prefrontal cortex involving the left and right dorsolateral and the right ventromedial areas.

O solo é visto principalmente como um componente crítico da produção agrícola na sabedoria tradicional. Nos anos mais recentes, a comunidade científica tem reconhecido cada vez mais que o solo é também um componente essencial para a proteção ambiental a mitigação das alterações climáticas, os serviços ecossistémicos, bem como uso e planejamento da terra. Entre as propriedades físicas do solo, a mais avaliada está a densidade, que fornece indicações a respeito do estado de compactação do solo, uma relação entre massa de solo seco e seu volume, sendo, portanto, afetada por modificações na estrutura e no arranjo e volume dos poros. O objetivo desse estudo foi analisar a variabilidade da densidade do solo em um assentamento rural classificado como Projeto de Desenvolvimento Sustentável (PDS) Porto Seguro sob diferentes coberturas vegetais. Para realização de análise de densidade do solo (DS) em laboratório, foram coletadas amostras do solo na propriedade em um ponto central de cada parcela (tratamentos: cultivo de mandioca – CM, mata nativa – MN e Sistema Agroflorestal - SAF), utilizando o método de anel volumétrico (MAV). As análises físicas constaram dos seguintes atributos: Análise Granulométrica e Densidade do Solo (DS). Foi realizada uma análise de variância (ANOVA) e em caso de diferença significativa as médias foram comparadas pelo teste de Tukey a 5% de probabilidade de erro. Considerando a análise dos resultados de densidade do solo em diferentes usos e manejos, pode-se afirmar que não há maiores preocupações quanto à perda de solo por erosão, retenção de água ou compactação. Nos assentamentos rurais, a adoção de sistemas agroflorestais pode trazer diversos benefícios com maior diversidade de produtos para os agricultores.

Desde sua formalização legal, por meio do Art. 20 da Lei de Inovação brasileira, o mecanismo de encomenda tecnológica é considerado como potencial solução para a contratação do desenvolvimento de tecnologias para a área de Defesa que envolvam significativo risco tecnológico em sua concepção. Entretanto, mesmo após cerca de quinze anos de sua criação, a quantidade de casos reais em que as encomendas tecnológicas foram aplicadas é irrisória, seja por insegurança jurídica, desconhecimento das oportunidades ou mesmo pela insuficiência de precisão dos termos e conceitos a elas relacionados. O presente trabalho busca contextualizar as encomendas tecnológicas, partindo de sua origem em legislações internacionais e discutindo os passos necessários para a viabilização na contratação de soluções tecnológicas no caso específico da Força Aérea Brasileira. A intensificação do diálogo entre a administração pública com as empresas privadas do parque industrial de Defesa, a consolidação de definições objetivas para os termos relacionados ao desenvolvimento tecnológico, além da disseminação deste novo modelo de relacionamento entre os órgãos consultores e controladores da União estão entre as principais ações a serem tomadas para possibilitar a aplicação do mecanismo de encomenda tecnológica nas aquisições de Defesa.

All sensory processes begin with stimuli, which represent a form of energy, and a sensory cell converts this energy into a change in the membrane potential, regulating the production of action potentials in the central nervous system, whose encoding results in sensation. The general objective of this work is to report an experience in the development of an investigative teaching sequence (CES) on sensory perception of sight and taste with students of the 3rd grade of high school. The SEI was developed in 4 classes, where each one lasted 50 minutes and the materials used were: notebook and cell phone, to enable remote activities; fruits, sugar, drinking water and a spoon for practical activities; pen and tape for identification of materials. And virtual resources were used, such as: google classroom, google meet, google forms. CES raised the following problem question: Can the taste of food be altered by the sense of sight? During the application of the Investigative Didactic Sequence, it was observed that in the beginning the students were not motivated and were even anxious, since they wanted the answers ready. However, the characteristics of teaching by investigation with the participation of students were observed, a participation that grew during the activities.

As we know, the Brazilian religious field is remarkably variable, because even the segments that are of the same line or origin present significant distinctions, many of which are visible even to those who are unaware of the subject. It is also multiple, not only of religions (we know that Brazil is a religious country, with numerous religions cohabiting the same space, even if not always, in harmony), but also the nucleus of specific segments (for example, the syncretism present within the Christian religions), as is the case of the evangelical.

The study of the causes of deaths in the neonatal period in a country is very relevant to social reality, as well as to analyze the quality of life, availability of health services for the population and its development. Therefore, the objective of this study is to analyze the preventable causes of neonatal mortality in Brazil from 2016-2021. This is a retrospective time series epidemiological study carried out with the early neonatal, late neonatal and post-neonatal mortality rates of the entire Brazilian territory between the years 2016 and 2021 through the Mortality Information System of the IT Department of the Unified Health System. It is noted that in the period between 2016 and 2021 there were 137,751 deaths from preventable causes in the age group of 0-364 days, corresponding to a rate of 8.11 for every thousand live births. Therefore, the main causes were adequate care for women during pregnancy (n=57,219, 41.53%), adequate care for newborns (n=37,128, 26.95%) and care for women during childbirth (n= 20,621, 14.97%). Early neonatal mortality (0-6 days) had a rate of 4.84 deaths per thousand live births (n=82,154), corresponding to 59% of deaths in children under 1 year of age. Furthermore, late neonatal mortality (7-27 days) had a rate of 1.52 deaths per thousand live births (n=25,763). As well as post-neonatal mortality (28-364 days) of 1.76 deaths per thousand live births (n=29,834). It is concluded that there was a decline in the neonatal mortality rate from preventable causes from 2016 to 2021, with the age group 0-6 days being the highest. The lack of attention to women during the gestational period stands out, followed by the lack of attention to the newborn.

Emotional intelligence is defined as the ability to recognize, understand and manage one's own and others' emotions.

Translated from the English, the word "procrastination" means "postponing". According to several foreign studies, this phenomenon includes emotional, behavioral and motivational components. In addition, procrastination increases the level of anxiety and stress in a person, as the result person engages in unnecessary stress-reducing activities instead of completing meaningful tasks.

Emotional intelligence is based on personality traits such as self-awareness, self-control and motivation. As a result of the study, it was found that perfectionism allows you to understand and manage emotions, and also helps to establish quality relationships with other people. Keywords: emotional intelligence, procrastination, personality traits, motivation, selforganization.
