Authors: Arce-Ramírez Henry , Chévez-Ponce Florlenis
Published: December 2015

This essay presents a reflection on civic education syllabus; the main objective is the revision and analysis of the educational, epistemological and methodological approach in which the syllabus is based. Moreover, a vision of the proposed official syllabus is considered in relation to the educational practice. Also, the citizenship skills are exposed from the theoretical perspectives that underlie the pedagogical, epistemological and methodological practices. The conclusions indicate that the approach of the proposed syllabus is based on a new vision for its classroom development, so that it can meet the Ethics, Aesthetics and Citizenship Project, and thus, promote the students attitudes, practices, and citizenship skills. Therefore, it is recommended that in its application, its contribution will be valued, in order to achieve an active and participatory citizenship.
AVANCEMOS: Effects of school dropout in the Home of Beneficiaries
Authors: Muñoz-Alvarado José Alfonso
Published: December 2015

The following paper shows the difference between the variables that explain school dropout in households in which at least one person is an AVANCEMOS beneficiary and in households where no member is. Furthermore, it seeks to demonstrate whether there is any effect on the program AVANCEMOS on siblings of a beneficiary in their decision to leave the educational system. Using The National Household Survey 2013 from INEC and through descriptive statistics and logistic models, we obtain results in which some variables that influence dropout such as area, quality of housing, basic services and gender have no influence in the same way households having AVANCEMOS or not. Meanwhile, age is always important for students when deciding to withdraw from the educational system regardless of the conditions of their home.  Moreover, being 18 years old is a critical age since it represents a breaking point in the decision of the student to continue studying or not.  If they come from an AVANCEMOS home, AVANCEMOS does not have any effect on siblings of beneficiaries of the program, but account to a higher proportion of students who leave school to go to work, 59.28%; against those who come from a home that does not participate in the program, which corresponds to a 48.35% of this population.
Rates of Educational Attainment in the Afro-descendant, Indigenous and Mestizo Populations: Review of Some Exclusion Factors
Authors: Gaete-Astica Marcelo
Published: December 2015

This article is the result of the research Rates of Educational Attainment among the Afro-descendant, Indigenous and Mestizo Populations and the Review of Some Exclusion and Inclusion Factors (Gaete, 2014). This article studies the 10th National Population Census and applies some quantitative measures in an attempt to establish the educational attainment of individuals of aboriginal and Afro-American descent, in contrast to that of the mestizo population (uncritically labeled as “white”). Additionally, educational exclusion factors are explored such as geographical location of the populations of interest and insertion of under-aged population in the job market.  Since this study has an exploratory scope, it is intended to give practical and conceptual inputs to delve into the social and educational exclusion theme. Statistical analysis conducted offers a view of the fact that ethnic and cultural identity, as well as geographic location (at a provincial scale) do not seem to be determining factors of educational and social exclusion. On the contrary, explanations must be sought in the circular character of poverty that determines low educational attainment, which in turn determines access to low-level jobs. In this sense, this study suggests that early insertion in the job market is a key exclusionary factor.
Problem-based Learning (PBL): A Teaching Strategy of Environmental Education, in Cañete Municipal School Students
Authors: Paredes-Curin Carlos Rodolfo
Published: December 2015

This article aims to “analyze the elements of the learning process that emerge in high school freshman students at Liceo Alonso de Ercilla y Zúñiga, through the methodology of problem-based learning (PBL) on issues of environmental education, specifically in the unit of photosynthesis”. The choice of participants was made by convenience; they are 15 years old on average, regardless of gender or age, and belong to freshman high school level. The focus of this research is qualitative, since it seeks to recognize the significance of social facts in their context to rebuild them. This approach, along with the constant comparative method, ethnographic study, techniques for collecting and analyzing data (such as open interview, observation and triangulation, and under the aegis of the descriptive paradigm), resulted in students improving their self-learning skills, as they collected information, studied, organized and presented results, given that the PBL allowed to reflect on their successes and failures and improved their learning as they learned and inquired more on the topic of photosynthesis.

Authors: Martins Silas Sarkiz da Silva , Azevedo Matheus Oliveira de , Silva Mikaias Pereira da , Silva Valdenildo Pedro da
Published: December 2015

O petróleo está a cada dia sendo mais explorado e tem sido um recurso energético gerador de divisas para a economia de países e nações, a exemplo do Brasil, mas, também, difusor de impactos ambientais negativos. As etapas que envolvem a produção de petróleo desde a perfuração de poços até o refino, direta ou indiretamente, têm causado alterações ao meio ambiente. O objetivo deste estudo foi o de compreender os principais impactos ambientais gerados pelas etapas de produção de petróleo, considerando estudos de impacto ambiental (EIAs) e seus respectivos relatórios de impacto ambiental (RIMAs). A avaliação dos impactos ambientais se dá através do diagnóstico ambiental da área de influência do empreendimento, o qual é feito para se conhecer os componentes dos meios físico, biológico e socioeconômico da área e, posteriormente, avaliar os efeitos das atividades do empreendimento sobre os mesmos. Pela complexidade da composição química do petróleo, o risco quanto as suas atividades e seu manuseio é, na maioria dos casos, de grande potencial, pois pode haver acidentes, que, por sua vez, podem interferir negativamente no meio ambiente. Ao término do estudo, concluiu-se que a fase de produção de petróleo apresenta diversos aspectos ambientais, os quais geram impactos. Viu-se que os impactos não são apenas de caráter negativo. E, por fim, sugere-se a aplicação de medidas mitigadoras e de um sistema de gestão ambiental eficaz para a minimização e/ou eliminação de tais impactos.

O Terceiro Setor auxilia o Estado na execução de serviços em que o âmbito público apresenta deficiências e limitações. Dentre estas entidades têm-se as fundações de apoio que visam fornecer suporte administrativo e financeiro às Instituições Federais de Ensino Superior, necessário na execução de seus projetos de pesquisa, ensino e extensão. Esse apoio ser entendido como a captação de recursos bem como o gerenciamento mais ágil e flexível dos mesmos. O objetivo do presente trabalho foi analisar a atuação da Fundação de Apoio ao Ensino, Pesquisa e Extensão Deputado Último de Carvalho (FADUC), no tocante à captação e gestão de recursos para o desenvolvimento das atividades do Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia do Sudeste de Minas Gerais – Câmpus Rio Pomba. A metodologia utilizada para o desenvolvimento do trabalho foi de natureza descritiva por meio de análise estatística descritiva e análise de conteúdo disponibilizado nos Relatórios de Atividades referentes aos anos de 2011, 2012 e 2013 e documentos internos da FADUC. Os resultados apontaram um crescimento no número de parcerias firmadas pela FADUC, bem como do valor de recursos gerenciados, predominando recursos oriundos do setor público. O número de projetos gerenciados pela mesma manteve-se estável, mas é relevante o crescimento da interação da FADUC com o setor privado. Sendo assim, constatou-se que esta tem apoiado o Câmpus na gestão de seus projetos, mas precisa desenvolver estratégias para melhorar sua atuação na captação de recursos externos destinados ao desenvolvimento de projetos de pesquisa, ensino e extensão

Alternative Herbicides for the Control of Clethodim-Resistant Rigid Ryegrass (Lolium rigidum) in Clearfield Canola in Southern Australia
Authors: Saini Rupinder Kaur , Kleemann Samuel G. L. , Preston Christopher , Gill Gurjeet S.
Published: December 2015

Rigid ryegrass is the most-troublesome, herbicide-resistant weed in cropping systems of southern Australia. Field experiments were undertaken at Roseworthy, South Australia, in 2013 and 2014, to identify effective herbicide options for the control of clethodim-resistant rigid ryegrass in Clearfield canola. PPI trifluralin + triallate followed by (fb) POST imazamox + imazapyr + clethodim + butroxydim had the lowest plant density of rigid ryegrass in 2014 and provided superior control compared with the standard grower practice of PPI trifluralin + triallate fb POST imazamox + imazapyr + clethodim in 1 of 2 yr. Propyzamide either alone or as a split application (PPI fb POST) or in combination with clethodim provided similar rigid ryegrass control to that of the standard grower practice (38 to 553 plants m−2). Rigid ryegrass treated with PPI dimethenamid-P, pethoxamid, pethoxamid + triallate, and PPI trifluralin fb carbetamide POST produced significantly more seeds than the standard grower practice, which would lead to reinfestation of subsequent crops. Canola yield responded positively to effective herbicide treatments, especially in 2014, when rigid ryegrass density was greater. PPI dimethenamid-P and pethoxamid alone or in combination with triallate and propyzamide were ineffective in reducing rigid ryegrass density and seed production to levels acceptable for continuous cropping systems.

Home dialysis, which comprises peritoneal dialysis (PD) or home hemodialysis (home HD), offers patients with ESRD greater flexibility and independence. Although ESRD disproportionately affects racial/ethnic minorities, data on disparities in use and outcomes with home dialysis are sparse. We analyzed data of patients who initiated maintenance dialysis between 2007 and 2011 and were admitted to any of 2217 dialysis facilities in 43 states operated by a single large dialysis organization, with follow-up through December 31, 2011 (n
=162,050, of which 17,791 underwent PD and 2536 underwent home HD for ≥91 days). Every racial/ethnic minority group was significantly less likely to be treated with home dialysis than whites. Among individuals treated with in-center HD or PD, racial/ethnic minorities had a lower risk for death than whites; among individuals undergoing home HD, only blacks had a significantly lower death risk than whites. Blacks undergoing PD or home HD had a higher risk for transfer to in-center HD than their white counterparts, whereas Asians or others undergoing PD had a lower risk than whites undergoing PD. Blacks irrespective of dialysis modality, Hispanics undergoing PD or in-center HD, and Asians and other racial groups undergoing in-center HD were significantly less likely than white counterparts to receive a kidney transplant. In conclusion, there are racial/ethnic disparities in use of and outcomes with home dialysis in the United States. Disparities in kidney transplantation evident for blacks and Hispanics undergoing home dialysis are similar to those with in-center HD. Future studies should identify modifiable causes for these disparities.
Dream as a subject of psychological research
Authors: Egorova P.A.
Published: December 2015

We discuss the main theoretical concepts of a dream: dream definitions, ideas about its genesis, functions, dream location in the structure of activity. We analyze the similarities and differences between the approaches. The results of empirical studies of adolescent and adult dreams are generalized, dream functions in adolescence are analyzed. Based on the analysis of different approaches, we chose theoretical basis of our own research – A. Leontiev activity theory, L.S. Vygotsky concept, K. Lewin's model. We formulated and substantiated the definition of dream as emotionally colored image of the desired future, having a subjective significance. We show the significance and hypotheses of our research: 1) the content of dreams is connected not only with a situation of frustration, but also with the teenager abilities, 2) the dream is involved in regulating of values choice; 3) restoration and development of the ability to dream can be used in the practice of counseling and psychotherapy as an effective tool to help adolescents and adults.
Significant factors in the social situation of offender adolescent development
Authors: Velikotskaya A.
Published: December 2015

The article is a review of foreign studies, which analyze the factors in the social situation of adolescent development, influencing the offenses committed by juveniles: the role of family structure and social status (income, parental education), the role of relationships with parents (parental control level, quality of teenager’s relationships with parents), the importance of social relationships with peers. We show some characteristics of the family, which are the factors of adolescents protection from the offense commitment. It is also shown that adolescent relationship with peers play an important role in the processes of his socialization; that the problematic relationships with peers increase the likelihood of teenager’s criminalization, despite having family protective factors. Studying the preconditions of offenses in teens’ social and family sphere can be used to develop programs to support adolescents who have already committed offenses, and prevention programs for adolescents at risk of probability of initiation to the criminal community and committing crimes.
Construction principles of prevention programs for adolescents
Authors: Bochaver A.A. , Tretyakova T.V.
Published: December 2015

We present the basic principles for the development of effective programs for prevention of substance abuse among young people employed in the United States. They are based on the model of “risk factors and protective factors” and suggest a consistent, systematic, coordinated deployment of preventive interventions for children of different ages and in different social contexts (individually, in family, at school, in community). These principles can be useful for transfer of foreign experience on the Russian reality and for development of a new generation of programs for the prevention of substance abuse in Russia. Also, these principles and ideas may be partly extrapolated to develop prevention programs for other social risks.
Principles of the organization of social and psychological support aimed at preventing the social risks of adolescence in Russia and abroad
Authors: Tretyakova T.V.
Published: December 2015

We discuss the features of development and implementation of programs of social and psychological support of adolescents in domestic and foreign practice. The priority in the field of prevention of social risks among young people is to provide systematic, comprehensive, accurate information about the consequences of substance use, adolescent training in self-care and self-regulation, the use of health-care technology, the formation of stable personal negative attitude to the problem of substance abuse. The effectiveness of preventive anti-drug programs is caused by the identification of the target group (including psychophysiological age characteristics), development of a set of preventive measures based on interagency cooperation with involvement of the minors’ parents (legal representatives).
Screening diagnostics of antivital experiences and propensity toward impulsive, autoagressive behavior in adolescents (preliminary results)
Authors: Bannikov G.S. , Pavlova T.S. , Vikhristyuk O.V.
Published: December 2015

Development of methods for revealing antivital experiences and propensity to autoaggressive behavior in educational institutions is one of the key steps in developing strategies for the primary prevention of suicidal behavior in adolescents. The purpose of this study was to develop an effective screening diagnostic package aimed at identifying antivital experiences and propensity to autoaggressive behavior. The survey methods we used were: Beck Hopelessness Scale, Russell Loneliness Scale, A.G. Shmelev Suicide Risk Questionnaire, PDQ-IV Borderline disorder and Narcissism scales. At the first stage we examined 750 minors aged 12-18 and identified risk group (85 people – 11.4%), which included adolescents with high levels of both individual scales, and their combination. At the second stage we examined 10 adolescents at risk. In 7 of them (70%) were identified antivital, suicidal thoughts of passive or compulsive nature, signs of subjective and objective socio- psychological maladjustment. Our preliminary conclusion is that high levels of hopelessness and loneliness in adolescents are stable predictors of mental and emotional distress and psychosocial maladjustment in the period of psychological crises and decompensation of character accentuation of borderline and narcissistic types. These scales can be recommended for primary screening of antivital (depressive) experiences and propensity to autoaggressive behavior in adolescents.
Problem of suicide risk diagnostics and possibility to use implicit association test
Authors: Bovina I.B.
Published: December 2015

If we make a search for the term suicide in the database PsycARTICLES, we will find 1732 articles published from 1898 till 2013. The dynamics of the scientific interest towards the problem is following: 127 articles were published from 1981 till 1991, 596 articles were published from 1992 till 2002; finally, 830 articles were published from 2003 till 2013. The rise of the research interest is obvious. The more detailed analysis of the articles showed that there are different models explaining suicide (for example: medical, philosophical, psychological and sociological). The different interacting predictors of suicide were revealed in the numerous studies: sociocultural, psychosocial, and biological ones. The preventive measures are already worked out and the new ones are in the process of validation. Having such a rich and complex scientific knowledge and practical tools to handle the problem the statistics say that the number of suicides continues to grow. The brief literature review is focused on the problem of the diagnostics of suicide risk. The potential of the implicit associations test for the diagnostics of suicide risk is discussed in this paper.
Patristic anthropology opportunities to form new humanitarian approaches in scientific and educational environment
Authors: Leonov V.
Published: December 2015

The author notes the growing interest in patristic anthropology in recent decades, emphasizes its contact points with the secular humanities (especially with psychology, pedagogy and philosophy), lack of fundamental contradictions between them and relevance of their concepts, defines the basic coordinates of the problem field of its study and ways to overcome differences. For psychology and pedagogy, the Christian anthropology could become a new coordinate system, in space of which the spiritual content of already established scientific facts and theories will be revealed, the opportunities will occur for moral interpretations of the known phenomena in order to be used for specific real help. This approach allows us to speak about the prospects of the Orthodox psychology and Orthodox pedagogy. According to the author, the potential of Christian anthropology and its potential use in the scientific community are great, but for the development of this area not only intellectual effort of the research team is necessary, but a global rethinking of attitudes of modern society.

The article is dedicated to the fiftieth anniversary of the publication of the book by a famous Russian scientist M.V. Sokolov, "Essays on the history of psychological thoughts in Russia in XI – XVIII centuries." This is the only scientific and psychological monograph of the Soviet period, in which for the first time at the level of academic research the topical problem of historical and genetic roots of contemporary Soviet psychology has been posed and studied, the systematization of basic substantive aspects of the first psychological tractates has been done, and the basic principles of their methodology were highlighted: an integrative approach to systematization of psychological data on the hierarchy of man's inner world, obtained in a single field of cognitive potential of natural science and speculation methods. Comprehensive analysis of original documents allowed the scientist to identify a number of descriptive models of psychological issues development by medieval Russia sophists, belonging to different social strata and ideological lines, and critically overcome the ideology of Soviet period, distorting the perception of time frames of the process of the formation and maintenance of psychological demands of Russian people.

Authors: Solovyeva E.V.
Published: December 2015

The study focuses on the problem of mental development of children conceived by in vitro fertilization (IVF) and presents the results of a comparative research of cognitive development of 135 children conceived spontaneously and 135 children conceived by IVF, aged from 11 to 37 months. Data were collected at the Center for Family Planning and Reproduction, Moscow. We used diagnostics of infants’ neuropsychological development (E.L. Frukht), psycho-pedagogical study of mental development of early-aged children (E.A. Strebeleva) and medical history data. We found peculiarities in cognitive development of early-aged children conceived by IVF compared with those conceived spontaneously. Children born after 4-9 IVF cycles have demonstrated cognitive development lags significantly more often than those conceived naturally or after 1-3 IVF cycles. Among children conceived spontaneously share of children with normal cognitive development did not differ on the first, second and third years of life; in a group of children conceived after 1-3 IVF cycles, number of children with normal cognitive development increased from first to third year.

Published: December 2015

We present the history of the introduction to psychology of the concept of “internal position” and those methodological tasks for which it was requested. We define the internal position as an integrated dynamic system of meaning, motivational and voluntary regulation of human activity, which determines the choice of action in situations of uncertainty and struggle of motives. We analyzed current research of the internal position in school students, its features in modern children, its dynamics in primary school children. We show the importance of group sessions aimed at creating personal readiness for school, for the development of the internal position of a schoolchild. We describe a technique for diagnosing the internal position of a student to study the internal position in second graders, and provide the data on its validation. We discuss the results of studies of the internal position psychological functions and the dynamics of its development in modern younger students, conducted under the supervision of the author. We describe the types of the internal position in primary school children during the transition to high school. We show the dynamics of the internal position and its substantial changes during early school age.
Socialization of Children and Families in the Territorial Educational Complex
Authors: Khaikin V.L. , Grigoriev D.V.
Published: December 2015

Territorial educational complexes, which combine the "strong" and "weak" schools, kindergartens, additional education institutions can not only provide real access to the quality education, but also reduce social contradictions and bring different layers of society together. However, to do it they should definitely not only be educational corporations, but the new institutions of socialization. It is unproductive to use traditional educational strategies of socialization which are the transfer of educational forms and learning content to the social life of the school or direct copying of social practices. Educational complexes need to implement the strategy of adaptation to the unknown, to take the initiative for positive change in the close society. There are certain preconditions to it in the complexes, such as consolidation of family potential, concentration of resources and their efficient use, openness to new technologies and management systems, transformation of education to the public good for the population. It is important to complement the arsenal of educational complexes with new social technologies, encouraging children and adults to independent public action

As personal regulators, we discuss freedom, responsibility, meaningfulness of own live. We provide the results of the study of personal development trajectories by E.R. Kaliteevskaya and D.A. Leontiev, describe the personality approach of J. Loevinger. Social controls are revealed through the concept of social identity, its structure. We describe the main approaches to the understanding of social identity in Russian and foreign psychology. In conclusion, we propose a possible solution to the problem of optimal formation of personal and social controls in the period of transition from childhood to adulthood.
Emotional Sphere in Elderly People: Age and Regional Differences
Authors: Shagidaeva A.B.
Published: December 2015

We present a study of the negative aspects of the emotional sphere in elderly man: depression and loneliness. Empirical research was carried out in Moscow and Grozny involving elderly people living in families and in geriatric centers (201 subjects), as well as with middle-aged people (132 subjects). We used the following methods: Zung differential diagnosis of depressive states inventory in adaptation by T.I. Balachova and D. Russell and M. Ferguson Loneliness scale (UKL) in adaptation by N.E. Vodopyanova. It is shown that at the present stage of development of society, middle-aged people already have quite high level of depression and pronounced sense of loneliness. We confirmed the hypothesis that the preservation of the negative aspects of the emotional sphere in elderly people is less dependent on the conditions of life at the micro level (family or gerontology center) and more dependent from the living conditions at the macro level (socio-economic situation in the region). In Grozny, a city of more complex socio-economic situation, negative emotional states are more pronounced than in Moscow.
Comparison of the Psychological Characteristics of Adaptation in Orphan Students of Initial Learning Stage to Adaptation Potential in Students Brought up in Families
Authors: Zamorueva V.V.
Published: December 2015

We present a study of psychological characteristics of preadult orphans, their psychological adaptation to the conditions of learning in high school compared to the norm population (students living in family). We assumed that the level of adaptation of the orphan students is significantly smaller than in other students, because of their special life circumstances (maternal deprivation, living in residential care institutions, sometimes bad heredity, lack of life skills in everyday issues, personal problems). The results of the survey of 49 orphan students (26 girls and 23 boys) and 49 first-year students brought up by parents (28 girls and 21 boys), confirmed this hypothesis and allow us to tell that orphan students need special psychological help in the learning process in high school to grow at a personal and professional level.

Authors: Stalnova I.A. , Stalnov A.G.
Published: December 2015

Dynamism of professional activity, increasing workload and working time shortage, high social responsibility for results and other factors increase the probability of formation of burnout in government employees. This actualizes the search for new forms and methods of professional qualification of government employees based on an assessment of their psychological qualities. We discuss the problem of professional and personal burnout in Rosreestr employees, reveal the symptoms of this syndrome. As a tool for preventing and reducing the negative impact of professional deformation in Rosreestr workers, we propose the use of assessment center technology successfully tested in the international practice and requiring adaptation to Russian realities.

Published: December 2015

In a study involving 150 adolescents aged 15 to 18 years the emphasis was placed on the connection of the bullying victim position and level of aggressiveness. The following methods were used: a questionnaire, a method of sociometry, Rosenberg self-esteem scale, Bass-Perry aggressive behavior diagnosis questionnaire. We tested the assumption that the people occupying the bullying victim position, have a high level of aggression. Analysis of the results showed that the greatest number of subjects play the role of the aggressor / victim, and most often, adolescents face verbal type of bullying. The study analyzed the gender aspect of bullying. It was concluded that the group of bullying aggressors / victims is the most difficult and dangerous for the development of the personality of a teenager. Also, we made conclusions about poor awareness about bullying in teachers and tolerance to bullying in the educational environment. Due to the above study, we identified and describe the mechanisms of formation and manifestation of aggressive behaviors in bullying.

The creation of the standards involved Sophinette Becker, Hartmut A. G. Bosinski, Ulrich Clement, Wolf Eicher, Thomas M. Goerlich, Uwe Hartmann, Götz Kockott, Dieter Langer, Wilhelm E. Preuss, Gunter Schmidt, Alfred Springer, Reinhard Wille. Since 1980, the Federal Republic of Germany has a law on transsexualism, which regulates the right of the individual to change the sex. However, until now there were no specifically defined standards of assessment and treatment of transsexuals. For the first time, in 1979 Harry Benjamin invited the International Medical Association of Germany to revise the standards of medical care for gender dysphoria. The following standards of assessment and treatment of transsexuals have been developed at a conference convened by the German Society for Research Expert Committee under the leadership of Sophinette Becker.
