Profiling networks of distinct immune-cells in tumors
Authors: Clancy Trevor , Hovig Eivind
Published: July 2016

Background

It is now clearly evident that cancer outcome and response to therapy is guided by diverse immune-cell activity in tumors. Presently, a key challenge is to comprehensively identify networks of distinct immune-cell signatures present in complex tissue, at higher-resolution and at various stages of differentiation, activation or function. This is particularly so for closely related immune-cells with diminutive, yet critical, differences.

Results

To predict networks of infiltrated distinct immune-cell phenotypes at higher resolution, we explored an integrated knowledge-based approach to select immune-cell signature genes integrating not only expression enrichment across immune-cells, but also an automatic capture of relevant immune-cell signature genes from the literature. This knowledge-based approach was integrated with resources of immune-cell specific protein networks, to define signature genes of distinct immune-cell phenotypes. We demonstrate the utility of this approach by profiling signatures of distinct immune-cells, and networks of immune-cells, from metastatic melanoma patients who had undergone chemotherapy. The resultant bioinformatics strategy complements immunohistochemistry from these tumors, and predicts both tumor-killing and immunosuppressive networks of distinct immune-cells in responders and non-responders, respectively. The approach is also shown to capture differences in the immune-cell networks of BRAF versus NRAS mutated metastatic melanomas, and the dynamic changes in resistance to targeted kinase inhibitors in MAPK signalling.

Conclusions

This integrative bioinformatics approach demonstrates that capturing the protein network signatures and ratios of distinct immune-cell in the tumor microenvironment maybe an important factor in predicting response to therapy. This may serve as a computational strategy to define network signatures of distinct immune-cells to guide immuno-pathological discovery.
Incremental stages of a semantic framework for automating the changes on long term composed services
Authors: Thirumaran M. , Brendha G. Gayathry
Published: July 2016

Enterprises enhance their business on the web with the help of web services. This enhancement is achieved by composing the pre-existing services, so that they will be able to provide solutions for the problems on the web. Due to rapid development in technology, the need for making changes in the composed services by the respective analysts becomes an essential task. Thus, the change management process becomes a challenging area in web service. Although, the existing solutions use ontology for change management, they have been designed majorly for IT developers rather than analyst. Therefore, we concentrate on providing a change management framework that will make use of an enriched ontology set and semantic reasoner for implementing the changes by the analyst itself. The semantic reasoner component parses the change request from the analysts and determines the possibility for making the change. The framework represents the implemented changes in the form of a S-BPEL notation (Semantic BPEL) which is then converted to their corresponding BPEL notations by a BPEL constructor so that they can be deployed in the run time environment for composing the services.
Design and implement chords and personal windows for multi-user collaboration on a large multi-touch vertical display
Authors: Leftheriotis Ioannis , Chorianopoulos Konstantinos , Jaccheri Letizia
Published: July 2016

Co-located collaboration on large vertical screens has become technically feasible, but users are faced with increased effort, or have to wear intrusive personal identifiers. Previous research on co-located collaboration has assumed that all users perform exactly the same task (e.g., moving and resizing photos), or that they negotiate individual actions in turns. However, there is limited user interface software that supports simultaneous performance of individual actions during shared tasks (Fig. 1a). As a remedy, we have introduced multi-touch chords (Fig. 1b) and personal action windows (Fig. 1c) for co-located collaboration on a large multi-touch vertical display. Instead of selecting an item in a fixed menu by reaching for it, users work simultaneously on shared tasks by means of personal action windows, which are triggered by multi-touch chords performed anywhere on the display. In order to evaluate the proposed technique with users, we introduced an experimental task, which stands for the group dynamics that emerge during shared tasks on a large display. A grounded theory analysis of users’ behaviour provided insights into established co-located collaboration topics, such as conflict resolution strategies and space negotiation. The main contribution of this work is the design and implementation of a novel seamless identification and interaction technique that supports diverse multi-touch interactions by multiple users: multi-touch chord interaction along with personal action windows.
The complete genome sequence and analysis of vB_VorS-PVo5, a Vibrio phage infectious to the pathogenic bacterium Vibrio ordalii ATCC-33509
Authors: Echeverría-Vega Alex , Morales-Vicencio Pablo , Saez-Saavedra Camila , Ceh Janja , Araya Rubén
Published: July 2016

The bacterium Vibrio ordalii is best known as the causative agent of vibriosis outbreaks in fish and thus recognized for generating serious production losses in aquaculture systems. Here we report for the first time on the isolation and the genome sequencing of phage vB_VorS-PVo5, infectious to Vibrio ordalii ATCC 33509. The features as well as the complete genome sequence and annotation of the Vibrio phage are described; vB_VorS-PVo5 consists of a lineal double stranded DNA totaling ~ 80.6 Kb in length. Considering its ability to lyse Vibrio ordalii ATCC 33509, the phage is likely to gain importance in future aquaculture applications by controlling the pathogen and as such replacing antibiotics as the treatment of choice.
Method and Theory: On the Compilation of a Collection of Texts in Estonian Translation History
Authors: Gielen Katiliina , Kaldjärv Klaarika
Published: July 2016

Translation history is a part of cultural history and a necessary component of any literary history, but documenting it may prove to be a challenge. The present article is an attempt to describe and exemplify an ongoing project of mapping Estonian translation history through metatexts on translational issues based on the writings of translators, editors and other figures close to translation throughout Estonian literary history. The reason for collecting translational thought into one compilation lies in the importance of translation for Estonian culture both retrospectively as well as keeping in mind the future of translation and language policies and practices.The article is thematically divided into two parts. The first part is concerned with the analysis of already existing methodologies for compiling translation histories. Still, in order to get a comprehensive picture, different angles have to be considered and different methodologies applied on the material that has come down to us. Thus, what follows is the description of the ongoing project and its slightly different, empirics driven methodology.The second part of the paper gives an insight into one of the seven major topics that have emerged from the work with the texts in Estonian translation history. It is based on the discussions whether practitioners need theory, or more generally, what is translation theory and who needs it? The examples are taken from the articles and interviews with Estonian practicing translators and people close to translation such as literary critics, editors, etc. and cover the second half of the 20th century up to the contemporary times. Our aim was to show practitioners as theorists and thus narrow the gap between theory and practice of translation which has proved to be a general problem also in other cultural settings, end even currently when translation studies has established itself as a discipline. The issue has been discussed by many prominent translation studies scholars and the present article will take the opportunity to introduce their points of view.
Translation of Anatole France’s L’Étui de nacre in Russia: Reception and Perception
Authors: Nikitina Natalia , Tuliakova Natalia
Published: July 2016

The paper analyzes and compares the numerous translations of L’Étui de nacre by Anatole France into Russian. The undertaken research aims at establishing the tendencies in the long series of translations, taking into account the possible reasons for the translators’ long-lasting interest in the text.We first analyze the translational theories of the time and highlight their evolution during the first half of the 20th century. Then, we suggest an analysis of France’s cycle, and consider the motives behind its appeal to the translators. Finally, we compare the strategies chosen by the translators and the way they may affect the perception of the text. We argue that the flow of translations may be explained by the complexity of France’s text, which has resulted in a constant search for a perfect translation. The complexity comprised both linguistic difficulties, such as France’s balance of natural speech and elevated objects of description, and extralinguistic hurdles, for instance, the abundance of realias belonging to different epochs and countries. It is obvious that translations done in different years from 1890 to 1959 reflect the development of translation theory and also the political and social changes which Russia underwent during this period. Another conclusion that we are coming to is that the existing translations tend to demonstrate a significant decrease in ambiguity, inherent in France’s cycle.
The Author Ransoming the Reader or Vice Versa? The Case of Karen Blixen
Authors: Steponavičiūtė Ieva
Published: July 2016

The Danish classic Karen Blixen (1885–1962) wrote both in English and Danish and she is better known for the English-reading audience by her pseudonym Isak Dinesen. The article takes its departure from two extremes in her reception. The first extreme is the paramount interest in her person and life, and the other one is the new-critical and post-structural rejection of her biography. The present article pursues the middle way. First of all, this is done by tracing the presence of the fictional construct of the author and the storyteller (however, in many ways related to Karen Blixen’s person) in her texts, such as “Babette’s Feast”, “The Young Man with the Carnation” and “Deluge at Norderney”. Second, the article demonstrates how Blixen’s texts sanction the audience’s freedom and imply that reception is part of the artistic act. Finally, it suggests that Blixen’s readers can return the generosity, which Blixen’s oeuvre demonstrates in their respect. This can be done by applying biographical material intertextually, when interpreting these stories or staging them in one’s mind – without any obligation to treat the writer’s person and life as the ultimate and stable source for the meaning of these stories.

Services in the field of scientific service
Authors: Казарина Лариса , Kazarina Larisa , Казарина Марина , Kazarina Marina
Published: July 2016

The article is devoted to the study of the scientific sphere of service and services which are included in it. Analysis of aspects of this field has begun recently. Increasing interest in this subject is explained with the transition of society to post-industrial (informational) development, that is, to the society, where the basis is the contemporary acquisition of new knowledge and relevant information. Today science is considered as a specific production objective (overt, explicit) knowledge. Consequently, the sphere of scientific service is a special part of the sphere of services directly associated with the specific activity of scientific institutions and organizations. However, despite the significant role of the sphere of scientific services in economic growth, in the direction of the course of scientific and technical policy (SSTP) and the competitiveness of any developed or just developing country, we should establish that there are several understudied aspects and controversial issues. In particular, the scientific literature gives little attention to the research of the sphere of scientific service; there is no universally accepted definition of the sphere of scientific service. This article presents some theoretical positions about the nature of this sphere and gives its features. The authors give the clarified definition of «scientific services» and identify the proposed location of the sphere of scientific service in the field of services. The article discusses the various services in the field of scientific services. Names are from classifications officially cited or mentioned in the periodical literature (both foreign and domestic). According to the results the authors give the definition of the services in the field of scientific service based on the analyzed classifications.

Published: July 2016

Gastronomic tourism is a special form of cultural tourism, the main purpose of which is familiarity with a certain tourist product or a platter. Gastronomic tourism is working closely with many types of tourism, in particular with a tour, ethnographic, culinary and oenological. The organizational technology of gastro-

nomic tourism involves many sectors of industry and agriculture. It should be noted that not all theorists of

tourism and tourism professionals differentiate gastronomic tourism as an independent species. According to experts, tourists learn the products and dishes of this or that destination “de facto”, regardless of the

purpose of the trip. It is difficult to accept, even because tourists engaged in certain types of tourism (health and fitness, sports tourism) are unable to break the dietary or diet, or to deviate from the diet. Meanwhile,

the researches of the resource base for the organization of gastronomic tourism in Russia are practically not carried out. The article analyzes the role of gastronomic tourism as a promising direction of the economy experiences. The authors consider gastronomic tours as tours of senses (taste, tactile, olfactory and aesthetic). According to the authors, the foundation of gastronomic tourism makes culinary (food) brands. This category is like a means of promoting destinations, original card of regions. The authors describe the special role of the gastronomic brands in forming the image of the tourist areas, which are suitable for the development of gastronomic tourism; the authors attempt to classify product brands on various criteria. Finally,

they make recommendations for the organizers of tourism on the use of product brands in the promotion and implementation of gastronomic tours, as well as executive bodies in charge of regulation of tourism at the municipal and federal levels.

We study the level of total electron content (TEC) disturbance in ionospheric mid-latitude and high-latitude regions, which occurred during 2013. TEC behavior is calculated using data from two GPS stations: MOND (Mondy) and NRIL (Norilsk). TEC variations are estimated from dual-frequency phase measurements for all radio signal paths. We analyze the TEC variations in two time ranges: 10 and 40 min. These ranges correspond to medium- and large-scale ionospheric disturbances respectively. The TEC disturbance level is characterized using a special index WTEC. It allows us to receive multi-day continuous series of average TEC variation intensity. We reveal that at high latitudes WTEC variations correlate well with AE ones. The correlation between WTEC and Dst variations is much lower. The minimum level of TEC disturbance is independent of the season in the Arctic region; diurnal WTEC variations are more pronounced for medium-scale ionospheric disturbances than for large-scale ones. At mid-latitudes, the WTEC variation concurs with Dst and Kp variations only during strong magnetic storms. The minimum level of TEC disturbance is higher in summer than in winter. At middle latitudes, the sunset terminator generates gravity waves. In the Arctic region, terminator-induced waves are not observed.
Penetration of internal gravity waveguide modes into the upper atmosphere
Authors: Руденко Георгий , Rudenko Georgiy , Дмитриенко Ирина , Dmitrienko Irina
Published: July 2016

The paper describes internal gravity waveguide modes, using dissipative solutions above the source. We compare such a description with an accurate approach and a WKB approximation for dissipationless equations. For waveguide disturbances, dispersion relations calculated by any method are shown to be close to each other and to be in good agreement with observed characteristics of traveling ionospheric disturbances. Unlike other methods, dissipative solutions above the source allow us to adequately describe the spatial structure of disturbances in the upper atmosphere.
Arctic Oscillation impact on thermal regime in the Eastern part of the Baltic region
Authors: Гечайте Индре , Gecaite Indre , Погорельцев Александр , Pogoreltsev Aleksandr , Угрюмов Александр , Ugryumov Aleksandr
Published: July 2016

The paper presents statistical estimations of Arctic Oscillation (AO) impact on air temperature regime in the eastern part of the Baltic region. The region is characterized by high inter-annual and inter-seasonal variability. It is important to note that in the region of global warming extremely low winter temperatures can be observed on the European territory of Russia. AO is one of the large-scale global patterns of atmospheric circulation closely associated with weather variability in northern Europe. AО anomalies occur in the upper atmosphere (stratosphere) and only then are transferred to tropospheric lower layers. The anomalies can persist over a long period of time (up to two months); so they can serve as precursors in long-range weather forecasts. In turn, changes in stratospheric polar vortex and sudden stratospheric warmings can be related to geomagnetic activity. Perhaps geomagnetic activity influences the meridional temperature gradient and then changes the structure of the stratospheric zonal wind. These changes have an effect on the tropospheric circulation. The stratosphere–troposphere coupling takes place during winter months. Therefore, the paper deals with extremely cold winter anomalies in the eastern part of the Baltic Sea region. At the same time, we examine atmospheric circulation peculiarities associated with AO phase change. We analyze data for 1951–2014.

Wrist function in malunion: Is the distal radius designed to retain function in the face of fracture?
Authors: Uzoigwe C , Johnson N
Published: July 2016

Introduction

Fractures of the distal radius are the most common fracture in humans and are the sempiternal hazard of 3.5 million years of bipedalism. Despite the antiquity of the injury, one of the most controversial topics in current orthopaedics is the management of distal radius fractures. It has been suggested that radiographic appearances rarely correlate with functional outcomes. As the success of the human species is predicated almost exclusively on its dexterity and intelligence, it is conceivable that the distal radius has evolved to preserve function even in the face of injury. We therefore hypothesise that the distal radius is designed to accommodate the possibility of fracture.

Methods

We conducted a review of studies comparing fracture pattern and form with function. We also explore the paleoanthropological evidence and comparative studies with other primates.

Findings

The evidence points to the human distal radius being highly tolerant of post-fracture deformity in terms of preservation of function. In addition, the distal radius appears to have apparently anatomically ‘redundant’ features that confer this capability. We believe these phenomena to be an evolved trait that developed with bipedalism, increasing the chances of survival for a species whose success depends upon its dexterity.
Сопоставление координат больших планет, Луны и Солнца, полученных
на основе нового принципа взаимодействия и банка данных DE405
Authors: Заусаев Анатолий Федорович , Zausaev Anatoliy Fedorovich
Published: July 2016

В данной статье проведено сравнение координат и элементов орбит больших планет, Луны и Солнца, полученных на основе нового принципа взаимодействия и банка данных DE405.
Под окружающим пространством можно понимать физический вакуум. Гравитация рассматривается как результат взаимодействия окружающего пространства с движущимися материальными телами. Тяготение объясняется свойством сжатия пространства относительно движущихся материальных тел.
Получены дифференциальные уравнения движения больших планет, Луны и Солнца. Следует отметить, что система дифференциальных уравнений не содержит явно масс тел и силовых взаимодействий, кроме того, Земля рассматривается как сфероид. Путем численного интегрирования уравнений движения вычислены координаты Луны, Солнца больших планет и оскулирующие элементы орбит внутренних планет на интервале времени 1602-2193 гг. Результаты вычислений сопоставлены с координатами и элементами орбит, определенными по данным координат и скоростей DE405.
Показано, что в отличие от механики Ньютона и релятивистских уравнений движения, координаты больших планет Луны и Солнца, основанные на решении новой системы дифференциальных уравнений, удовлетворительно согласуются с координатами этих объектов, вычисленных с помощью банка данных DE405. Полученные уравнения не содержат членов, учитывающих несферичность Земли и Луны, являясь при этом нерелятивистскими уравнениями.
На основе исследований сделаны следующие выводы: полученные дифференциальные уравнения движения удовлетворительно описывают движение больших планет, Луны и Солнца на интервале времени 600 лет; они значительно проще и точнее дифференциальных уравнений, учитывающих релятивистские эффекты.
Об определении чистых состояний методом гомодинного детектирования
Authors: Днестрян Андрей Игоревич , Dnestryan Andrei Igorevich
Published: July 2016

В работе обсуждаются методы реконструкции волновой функции чистого состояния квантовой системы по известной оптической томограмме состояния. Оптическая квантовая томограмма представляет собой однопараметрическое распределение вероятностей с параметром $\theta$. Волновая функция чистого состояния выражается через оптическую томограмму, если последняя известна для любых значений $\theta$. Однако оптическая томограмма определяется из эксперимента гомодинного детектирования, где $\theta$ фиксированно. Поэтому оптическая томограмма может быть известна лишь для нескольких дискретных значений параметра. Мы приводим приближенные методы определения волновой функции квантового состояния по неполной информации о его томограмме, представляющие собой развитие уже существующих методов.

В данной работе для уравнения смешанного эллиптико-гиперболического типа в прямоугольной области изучена задача с условиями периодичности и нелокальным условием А. А. Дезина. Установлен критерий единственности. Решение задачи построено в виде суммы ортогонального ряда по собственным функциям соответствующей одномерной спектральной задачи. При обосновании сходимости ряда возникает проблема малых знаменателей. В связи с этим установлена оценка отделенности от нуля малых знаменателей с соответствующей асимптотикой. Эта оценка позволила при некоторых условиях относительно заданных параметров задачи и функций доказать сходимость построенного ряда в классе регулярных решений и устойчивость решения.

Academic success is about self-efficacy rather than frequency of use of the learning management system
Authors: Broadbent Jaclyn
Published: July 2016

Previous studies have investigated the association between the frequency of student learning management system (LMS) use (logins, discussion board use, resources used, etc.) and academic achievement. These studies indicate that low LMS use by students is likely to result in less academic success. However, these models fail to take into account self-beliefs that may also increase the explanatory value of learning analytics from the LMS. This study surveyed 310 students (M = 22.10 years, SD = 6.30 years) undertaking a first year health psychology subject. Results show the central role of self-efficacy in predicting student performance. Online activity was not predictive of performance, suggesting the primacy of psychological factors more so than online engagement in determining outcome. Of the motivational factors, amotivation was the single significant predictor of academic achievement. Proposed future research directions include the need to evaluate whether these results are sustained over time.

Esco, MR, Flatt, AA, and Nakamura, FY. Agreement between a smartphone pulse sensor application and electrocardiography for determining lnRMSSD. J Strength Cond Res 31(2): 380–385, 2017—The purpose of this study was to determine the agreement between a smartphone pulse finger sensor (SPFS) and electrocardiography (ECG) for determining ultra–short-term heart rate variability in 3 different positions. Thirty college-aged men (n = 15) and women (n = 15) volunteered to participate in this study. Sixty-second heart rate measures were simultaneously taken with the SPFS and ECG in supine, seated, and standing positions. The log transformed root mean square of successive R-R interval differences (lnRMSSD) was calculated from the SPFS and ECG. The lnRMSSD values were 81.5 ± 11.7 using ECG and 81.6 ± 11.3 using SPFS (p = 0.63, Cohen's d = 0.01) in the supine position, 76.5 ± 8.2 using ECG and 77.5 ± 8.2 using SPFS (p = 0.007, Cohen's d = 0.11) in the seated position, and 66.5 ± 9.2 using ECG and 67.8 ± 9.1 using SPFS (p < 0.001, Cohen's d = 0.15) in the standing position. The SPFS showed a possibly strong correlation to the ECG in all 3 positions (r values from 0.98 to 0.99). In addition, the limits of agreement (constant error ± 1.98 SD) were -0.13 ± 2.83 for the supine values, −0.94 ± 3.47 for the seated values, and −1.37 ± 3.56 for the standing values. The results of the study suggest good agreement between the SPFS and ECG for measuring lnRMSSD in supine, seated, and standing positions. Although significant differences were noted between the 2 methods in the seated and standing positions, the effect sizes were trivial.

Strength-power performance of visually impaired paralympic and olympic judo athletes from the brazilian national team: a comparative study. J Strength Cond Res 31(3): 743–749, 2017—The aim of this study was to compare the muscle power and maximal isometric strength capacities of Olympic and visually impaired Paralympic judo athletes. Twenty-eight elite judo athletes (7 men and 7 women per group) from the permanent Brazilian National Paralympic and Olympic teams took part in this study. After a specific warm-up, the athletes performed loaded jump squat (JS), bench press (BP), and standing barbell row (SBR) exercises to determine their values of maximum mean propulsive power (MPP) in these respective exercises. The maximal isometric strength (MIS) was also determined for both upper and lower limbs, through the use of BP and half-squat (HS) exercises. Finally, the jumping ability was assessed using unloaded squat jump (SJ). The magnitude-based inference was used to compare the groups. The Olympic judo athletes presented a likely higher SJ height than the Paralympic athletes. The Olympic group presented almost certainly higher MPP in the loaded JS and in the SBR exercises and likely higher MPP in the BP exercise. Importantly, in the MIS assessments the differences between groups in the HS and BP exercises were rated as unclear. In conclusion, our results showed that both Olympic and Paralympic judo athletes present similar levels of maximal isometric strength, but muscle power performance is superior in Olympic athletes.

Mitchell, JA, Pumpa, KL, and Pyne, DB. Responses of lowerbody power and match running demands after long-haul travel in international rugby sevens players. J Strength Cond Res 31(3): 686–695, 2017—This study determined the effect of long-haul (>5 hours) travel on lower-body power and match running demands in international rugby sevens players. Lower-body power was assessed in 22 male international rugby sevens players (age 21.7 ± 2.7 years, mass 89.0 ± 6.7 kg, stature 180.5 ± 6.2 cm; mean ± SD) monitored over 17 rugby sevens tournaments. A countermovement jump was used to monitor lower-body power (peak and mean power) over repeated three week travel and competition periods (pretravel, posttravel, and posttournament). Small decreases were evident in peak power after both short and long-haul travel (−4.0%, ±3.2%; mean, ±90% confidence limits) with further reductions in peak and mean power posttournament (−4.5%, ±2.3% and −3.8%, ±1.5%) culminating in a moderate decrease in peak power overall (−7.4%, ±4.0%). A subset of 12 players (completing a minimum of 8 tournaments) had the effects of match running demands assessed with lower-body power. In this subset, long-haul travel elicited a large decrease in lower-body peak (−9.4%, ±3.5%) and mean power (−5.6%, ±2.9%) over the monitoring period, with a small decrease (−4.3%, ±3.0% and −2.2%, ±1.7%) posttravel and moderate decrease (−5.4%, ±2.5% and −3.5%, ±1.9%) posttournament, respectively. Match running demands were monitored through global positioning system. In long-haul tournaments, the 12 players covered ∼13%, ±13% greater total distance (meter) and ∼11%, ±10% higher average game meters >5 m·s−1 when compared with short-haul (<5 hours) travel. Effective pretravel and posttravel player management strategies are indicated to reduce neuromuscular fatigue and running load demands in rugby sevens tournaments after long-haul travel.
ПРАКТИКИ ОСОБИСТІСНОГО ЖИТТЄТВОРЕННЯ: МНОЖИННІСТЬ ЯК ШАНС

Життєтворення розглянуто як вид особистісної творчості, що забезпечується збалансованою взаємодією ризикованих, перетворювальних і фонових, стабілізаційних практик. Виділено етапи життєтворення: проектування майбутнього через життєві вибори; апробація задуманого у вигляді конкретних життєвих завдань; реалізація завдань через практикування. Визначено специфіку креативності життєтворення, що полягає у готовності особистості стрибкоподібно змінювати траєкторії життєвого шляху завдяки терміновому освоєнню нових практик відповідно до несподіваних, неймовірних подій із серйозними наслідками. Показано, що життєтворення передбачає напруження між тенденцією до інтеграції, що забезпечується фоновими, рутинизованими практиками, та тенденцією до дезінтеграції, яка виникає внаслідок домінування перетворювальних, імпровізаційних практик. Вивченоготовність особистості до нових констеляцій та інтерференцій у ціннісно-смисловій, нормативно-регулятивной та інших сферах, що вимагає вдалих практичних імпровізацій у відповідь на несподівані події. Досліджено умови, за наявності яких множинність контекстів стає шансом інтенсифікації життєтворчості: практикування має бути адекватною і своєчасною відповіддю як на реальні зовнішні виклики, так і на актуальні внутрішні інтенції.Проаналізовано вади гіпертрофованої, у тому числі і віртуалізованої множинності, та показано, що протиотрутою від неї має стати єдність життєвого шляху особистості, незважаючи на несподіваність подій, які його видозмінюють і розгалужують.

Запропоновано простий метод для порівняння результатів тесту Т. І. Ільїної, тсту С. М. Петрової й анкет з рейтинговою оцінкою при вивченні мотивації здобуття першої та другої вищої освіти. Суть методу полягає в приведенні даних до 5-рівневої шкали, що відповідає 5-рівневій піраміді потреб А. Маслоу. Для дослідження були обрані групи студентів фізико-математичного факультету 1, 2 і 3 курсів денного відділення ХНПУ ім. Г. С. Сковороди (48 осіб, і група слухачів Інституту післядипломної освіти, що здобуває другу вищу освіту в тім же університеті на денному відділенні (30 осіб). Порівняння особистісної мотивації груп респондентів дозволило виявити розходження в домінуючому мотиві навчання й зміну співвідношення між дефіцитарними та метапотребами для різних груп. Результати проведеного дослідження дозволяють запропонувати описаний метод як для порівняння результатів, так і для додаткової інтерпретації інших тестів і анкет при вивченні мотиваційної сфери особистості. Такий підхід може бути використаний в аксіологічних дослідженнях.

A simple method for comparing the results of the T.I. Il’yna test, the S.M. Petrova test and the rating questionnaires used to study the motivation for the groups of the underclassmen and attendees educated at a high school for a second degree is presented. The essence of the method is the reduction of the test data to the 5-level scale that is correspond to the 5-level Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, i.e. to the Maslow’s pyramid. The 1, 2 and 3 course student groups of the Department of Physics and Mathematics of Kharkov National Pedagogical University n.a. H.S. Skovoroda (48) and the group of the attendees educated at a high school for a second degree at the day-time form of learning at the same university (30) were selected for the study. The changing of the dominant motive and the deficit-“meta-needs” ratio under comparing the personal motivation of the respondent groups was revealed. The results of the study allow us to suggest the described method both for comparing the results and for the additional interpretation of other tests and questionnaires in the various studies of the motivational personality sphere. This approach can be used in the axiological studies.

На старті кар’єри психолога виникає цілий спектр тривог і переживань, особливо, якщо молодий фахівець шукає власну нішу на ринку праці. Тривоги поширюються на всі рівні потреб, починаючи вітальними: "Чи зможу я прогодувати себе за допомогою цієї професії?", закінчуючи екзистенційними: "Хто я в професії? Яке моє місце в ній?". У статті описано хід психотерапевтичної роботи з клієнтом на його шляху від скарг щодо професійного становлення до поступової актуалізації ідентичності психолога-консультанта. Описано внутрішньо-психічну структуру особистості клієнта, що дає змогу прослідкувати невротичні драйвери та сімейні концепції, які підтримують суб’єктивні страждання. Консультативний випадок інтерпретується, опираючись на поняттєвий апарат, теорію і практику Позитивної психотерапії (далі – ПП). Акценти в описі: внутрішньо-психічна динаміка особистості клієнта, його історія у відповідності з темою, характеристики психотерапевтичних стосунків, психотерапевтичні інтервенції. Висновки сформовано на основі інтроспекції, супервізії та інтерв’ю з клієнтом за межами психотерапевтичної роботи.

ТЕОРЕТИКО-МЕТОДОЛОГІЧНІ ОСНОВИ ДОСЛІДЖЕННЯ РОЗВИТКУ ІДЕНТИЧНОСТІ ДИТИНИ В СИСТЕМІ СІМЕЙНИХ ВЗАЄМИН

Published: July 2016

У статті обґрунтовано теоретико-методологічні засади дослідження розвитку ідентичності дитини в системі сімейних взаємин. Основним методологічним принципом дослідження розвитку ідентичності дитини в системі сімейних взаємин виступив принцип системності, який передбачає розгляд процесу особистісного становлення у його цілісності, в єдності та взаємозв’язку різних складників. Також обґрунтовано положення про особистість як активного суб’єкта життєдіяльності та самотворення, принципи детермінації та суб’єктної активності; положення експериментально-генетичного методу та синергетичного підходу. Згідно з обґрунтованими принципами ідентичність особистості необхідно розглядати як багаторівневу, ієрархічно організовану систему взаємопов’язаних елементів, що зумовлюється складною детермінацією особистісного розвитку; а становлення і розвиток ідентичності дитини в системі сімейних взаємин – як багатоплановий, багаторівневий і багатовимірний динамічний процес, що детермінується, з одного боку, сімейними впливами, а з іншого боку – самодетермінується завдяки самосвідомості, суб’єктності дитини, що розширюється і набуває провідного значення з її віком. Розвиток систем "ідентичність", "особистість дитини", "сімейні взаємини", які виступають складними системами, що самоорганізуються, відбувається шляхом наростаючої складності та впорядкованості.

Published: July 2016

Стаття розкриває поняття перфекціонізму в контексті типологічного підходу. Проведений огляд наукових джерел засвідчив, що існують різні типи та форми представленого феномену. Автор здійснює теоретичний аналіз досліджень західних вчених, що підтверджують припущення про наявність двох форм чи типів перфекціонізму: "здорового" (нормального) і "патологічного" (невротичного). Невротичні прояви перфекціонізму мають значущі кореляційні зв’язки з психологічними труднощами та розладами особистості, а прояви нормального перфекціонізму пов’язані з високими досягненнями у спорті, творчості, науці. Залежно від вектору спрямованості перфекціонізм набуває трьох різних форм: "я-орієнтований" перфекціонізм (selforientedperfectionism), перфекціонізм, орієнтований на інших (sociallyorientedperfectionism), "соціально-приписуваний" перфекціонізм (sociallypre-scriptedperfectionism). Крім зарубіжних підходів, було розглянуто погляди українських та російських психологів на досліджуваний феномен. У статті, ґрунтуючись на даних експериментів і психотерапевтичної практики, виокремлено характеристики перфекціоністів та узагальнено їх щодо критеріїв, які диференціюють респондентів на ці два типи. Проведено порівняльний аналіз основних психологічних моделей перфекціонізму, а саме "британської моделі" R. Frost та "канадської моделі" G. Flett, P. Hewitt.  Обгрунтовано також прогнози щодо майбутніх досліджень у цій сфері.
