Authors: Yang Zhi-Qiang , wen yuanyuan , Li Hai-Feng , Li Lue , He Hui
Published: June 2020

Background: SMARCA5 has been proved to play the role of oncogene in various types of tumors. The purpose of our study was to study the relationship between the expression of SMARCA5 and the prognosis of patients with Non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC), and to investigate the effect of silencing the expression of SMARCA5 on the biological behavior of NSCLC. Methods：Immunohistochemistry method was adopted to detect to the expressions of SMARCA5 proteins in NSCLC and normal lung tissues. The correlation between the expression of SMARCA5 and clinicopathological factors and survival prognosis of patients with NSCLC were analyzed by statistical methods. Western blot and RT-PCR were used to detect the expression of SMARCA5 in normal human bronchial epithelial cell line (HBE) and human lung cancer cell lines (A549, Lu165, SK-MES-1 and NCI-H520). SMARCA5 siRNA was employed to silence the the expression of SMARCA5. MTT and Transwell methods were used to detect the proliferation and invasion of lung cancer cells.Results: SMARCA5 protein were highly expressed in 78 (59.5%) NSCLC tissues. SMARCA5 mRNA (P<0.05) and protein (P<0.05) were significantly higher in NSCLC tissues than in the adjacent normal tissues. SMARCA5 expression was significantly associated with poorly differentiation (P<0.001), advanced TNM stage (P<0.001), and pleural invasion (P=0.032). Meanwhile, High expression of SMARCA5 was associated with poor prognosis of NSCLC patients. Knockdown of SMARCA5 expression inhibited cell growth and invasion in NSCLC. Conclusion: High expression of SMARCA5 is associated with poor prognosis in patients with NSCLC, and SMARCA5 can increase activity of proliferation and invasion in NSCLC cells. SMARCA5 may play a decisive role in tumorigenesis of NSCLC.

Background: Chronic kidney disease of unknown etiology (CKDu) was first recognized in Sri Lanka in the early 1990s, and since then it has reached epidemic levels in the North Central Province of the country. The prevalence of CKDu is reportedly highest among communities that engage in chena and paddy farming, which is most often practiced in the dry zone including the North Central and East Central Provinces of Sri Lanka. Previous studies have suggested varied hypotheses for the etiology of CKDu; however, there is not yet a consensus on the primary risk factors, possibly due to disparate study designs, sample populations, and methodologies.Methods: The goal of this pilot case-control study was to evaluate the relationships between key demographic, cultural, and occupational variables as risk factors for CKDu, with a primary interest in pesticide exposure both occupationally and through its potential use as an ingredient in brewed kasippu alcohol. An extensive one health focused survey was developed with in cooperation with the Centre for Research, Education, and Training on Kidney Diseases of Sri Lanka. Results: A total of 56 CKDu cases and 54 control individuals were surveyed using a proctored, self-reported questionnaire. Occupational pesticide exposure and alcohol consumption were not found to be significant risk factors for CKDu. However, a statistically significant association with CKDu was observed with chewing betel (adjusted odds ratio [aOR]: 6.11, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.93, 19.35), age (aOR: 1.07, 95% CI: 1.02, 1.13), owning a pet dog (aOR: 3.74, 95% CI: 1.38, 10.11), water treatment (aOR: 3.68, 95% CI: 1.09, 12.43) and pests in the house (aOR: 5.81, 95% CI: 1.56, 21.60).Conclusions: The findings of this study suggest future research should focus on practices associated with chewing betel, potential animal interactions including pests in the home and pets, and risk factors associated with water.

El blog de aula y el WhatsApp ¿herramientas útiles para la comunicación entre maestras y familias?
Authors: García-Gómez Soledad , López-Gil Mónica
Published: June 2020

La literatura específica muestra que hay dos herramientas tecnológicas con gran potencial para enriquecer la comunicación entre maestras y familias: los blogs de aula y el WhatsApp. El objetivo del estudio descriptivo ha sido explorar si estas herramientas son utilizadas para ampliar la comunicación entre ambos colectivos. Los datos se han recogido mediante entrevistas estructuradas a maestras de Educación Infantil. Tras categorizar los datos se han cuantificado y sometido a análisis del contenido textual. Resultados. En torno al 80% de las maestras no cuenta con blog de aula. Las razones primordiales son: la falta de tiempo y los problemas técnicos. Quienes sí lo tienen lo utilizan preferentemente como exposición de lo que ocurre en las aulas. El uso del WhatsApp tampoco es mayoritario, es rechazado con frecuencia por los malentendidos que suele producir. Las maestras que sí lo utilizan lo hacen a través de la madre delegada de clase. Se evidencia que hay problemas vinculados al uso de ciertas TIC que han de ser conocidos para tratar de paliarlos.

Improving resilience of Cagayan de Oro's water supply to flooding
Authors: Ruijmschoot Adriaan Martin
Published: June 2020

The ‘Ridge to Coast, Rain to Tap’ (R2CR2T) project aims to address several identified factors in order to reduce flood vulnerability and improve the resilience of the water supply in Cagayan de Oro, Philippines. The project, which started on 1st January 2018, has adopted an integrated approach, working both directly on the water supply infrastructure and at a systemic level in the river basin. Through capacity development, investments and technical assistance, the project will provide a strong boost to improve the operations of the Cagayan de Oro Water District (COWD). Water supply coverage, sanitation services and disaster risk reduction are being expanded to up to 7,000 previously unserved households in relocation areas, primarily inhabited by people who lost their homes in the 2011 Sendong flood. In the upstream Cagayan de Oro River Basin (CDORB), several pilot reforestation interventions are being implemented in partnership with local Indigenous Peoples (IP) communities to demonstrate effective and sustainable ways for addressing the causes of flooding. The project aims to contribute to an enabling environment in which public and private stakeholders in CDO and Bukidnon Province cooperate towards flood risk reduction. The R2CR2T project is a Public-Private Partnership including partners Cagayan de Oro Water District, VEI, FITC, Unifrutti Tropical Philippines Inc, Cagayan de Oro River Basin Management Council, Hineleban Foundation, Bukidnon Indigenous Peoples Advisory Council, Wetlands International, Philippines Red Cross and Netherlands Red Cross. The R2CR2T project is 49% co-funded by the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and administered by the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO) through the Sustainable Water Fund.
A Deconstructive Reading of the Nigerian Subaltern in Zaynab Alkali’s The Stillborn
Authors: Akbay Yakut
Published: June 2020

Nowadays African women are taking an active role in the development of national literature both at home and abroad. However, the advent of female writers to literary arena was not a sudden event. After decolonisation, African literary sphere was heavily male dominated. Hence, the portrayal of the African woman was based upon the misrepresented image predetermined by the norms of patriarchal society. The emergence of women’s writing in Africa was inescapable and necessary to resist and reconstruct meanings of womanhood created by male writers. The purpose of the present paper is to defamiliarize Spivak’s subaltern as a female subject within the context of the Nigerian culture in Zaynab Alkali’s The Stillborn (1984). It is argued that as opposed to Spivak’s subaltern, the Nigerian subaltern can speak up for herself in the male-dominated society. African feminism is applied as a vernacular criticism to scrutinize meanings attributed to womanhood in the Nigerian culture. Derrida’s deconstruction constitutes the theoretical framework of the study to reveal inconsistencies and controversies between the text and its signification. To this end, the research involves a number of terms and concepts devised by Derrida such as binary, logocentrism, différance and aporia.

Authors: Khan Mohd Muazzam , Badruddeen  , Mujahid Mohd , Akhtar Juber , Khan Mohammad Irfan , Ahmad Usama
Published: June 2020

Background:

Stroke is one of the causes of death and disability globally. Brain attack is because of the acute presentation of stroke, which highlights the requirement for decisive action to treat it.

Objective:

The mechanism and in-vivo experimental models of stroke with various neuroprotective agents are highlighted in this review.

Method:

The damaging mechanisms may proceed by rapid, nonspecific cell lysis (necrosis) or by the active form of cell death (apoptosis or necroptosis), depending upon the duration and severity and of the ischemic insult.

Results:

Identification of injury mediators and pathways in a variety of experimental animal models of global cerebral ischemia has directed to explore the target-specific cytoprotective strategies, which are critical to clinical brain injury outcomes.

Conclusion:

The injury mechanism, available encouraging medicaments thereof, and outcomes of natural and modern medicines for ischemia have been summarized. In spite of available therapeutic agents (thrombolytics, calcium channel blockers, NMDA receptor antagonists and antioxidants), there is a need for an ideal drug for strokes.

Published: June 2020

Background/Aim:

Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis is a common bacterial infection of ascitic fluid mainly in
ascites due to liver cirrhosis. Mannose-binding lectin (MBL) can activate phagocytosis and the complement system. Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis was detected to be higher in MBL deficiency. This study aimed to assess ascitic fluid MBL in
liver cirrhosis and spontaneous bacterial peritonitis.

Methods:

Ninety patients with cirrhotic ascites were included. Forty five of them had SBP. Child-Pugh score, Model for
End Stage Liver Disease (MELD) and its update (uMELD) scores were used to assess severity of liver cirrhosis. Ascitic
fluid samples were obtained for differentiation of leucocytic count, estimation of albumin, protein, glucose, and serumascitic albumin gradient. Ascitic fluid levels of MBL were measured for all patients. SBP was documented if polymorphonuclear leucocytic count ≥250/mm in ascitic fluid.

Results:

Ascitic fluid MBL level was significantly lower in patients with SBP. MBL had a significant negative correlation
with ascitic total leukocytic count (TLC), also with serum creatinine, bilirubin, PT, INR and MELD score among SBP patients. However, it had a significant positive correlation with ascitic protein and with platelets. According to multivariate
analysis; fever, TLC, platelets, creatinine, MBL, glucose and polymorphs were independent predictors for SBP development.

Conclusion:

Ascitic fluid MBL could be a good predictive and prognostic marker in patients with cirrhosis and spontaneous bacterial peritonitis.
Phytochemical Profile of Orthosiphon aristatusSamples Prepared by Acetone Precipitation
Authors: Chua Lee Suan
Published: June 2020

Background:

Orthosiphon aristatus is a popular medicinal herb because of its pharmacological
significance. Therefore, a lot of products formulated from the plant extract are available in
the market. However, many phytochemicals in the plant extract are still remained to be unknown.

Objective:

The objective of this study was to profile phytochemicals from the plant extracts prepared
using water and ethanol in a reflux system for comparison.

Method:

The commonly used analytical techniques of acetone precipitation (gravimetry) and vanillin
assay (colorimetry) were used to estimate total saponin in the plant extracts. The low dielectric
constant of acetone (20.7) was used to precipitate saponins. The phytochemicals in the plant extracts
and their respective precipitates were then identified by LC-MS/MS.

Results:

Higher amount of precipitate was formed from ethanol extract than water extract. The results
of LC-MS/MS revealed that not only saponins, but other phytochemicals, such as phenolic acids,
flavonoids, terpenoids and aliphatic acids were also detected in the precipitates. In particular,
ethanol extract and its precipitate were found to have higher flavonoids. Acetone precipitation could
significantly increase the content of sagerinic acid and rosmarinic acid, as well as polyhydroxylated
and polymethoxylated flavones from the water extract.

Conclusion:

Acetone precipitation is not specific for saponin, but also any phytochemicals which
have lower solubility due to the lack of hydrogen bonding in high dipole moment medium of acetone.
Gravimetric acetone precipitation had successfully profiled the phytochemicals in both highly
complex water and ethanol based crude extracts.
COVID-19: Could Irisin Become the Handyman Myokine of the 21st Century?
Authors: Catalano Alessia
Published: June 2020

The ongoing Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak in China has become the
world's leading health headline and is causing major panic and public concerns. After emerging in the
City of Wuhan, China, COVID-19 has spread to several countries becoming a worldwide pandemia.
Among the studies on COVID-19, it has been demonstrated that novel coronavirus pneumonia is closely
associated with inflammatory storms. Controlling the inflammatory response may be as important as
targeting the virus. Irisin is a muscle-contraction-induced immunomodulatory myokine related to physical
activity. Irisin drives the “browning” of white adipocytes, so enhancing metabolic uncoupling and
hence caloric expenditure. Irisin has been clearly shown to be a handyman molecule by exerting beneficial
effects on adipose tissues, pancreas, and bone through “cross-talk” between skeletal muscleadipocyte,
skeletal muscle-pancreas, and skeletal muscle-bone, respectively. Irisin has been proposed as
a promising strategy for early diagnosis and treatment of various types of cancers, neurological diseases
and inflammatory conditions. Irisin has been demonstrated to suppress the immune response, too. The
importance of irisin is demonstrated by the increase in the number of scientific papers and patents in
recent years. The identification of irisin receptor should greatly facilitate the understanding of irisin’s
function in exercise and human health. This review examines the structure and recent advances in activities
of irisin, suggesting it for further studies on the prevention and cure of COVID-19. Nowadays, studies
on irisin plasma levels and physical activity may be useful tools to further investigate the prevention
of COVID-19. Irisin may be suggested as a potential novel intervention for COVID-19 by mitigating
inflammatory storms, suppressing the immune response and simultaneously alleviating neurological disorders
such as depression and anxiety.

Antecedentes y Objetivos: Los humedales de la costa central de Lima, Perú, están siendo fuertemente impactados de forma negativa por actividad antrópica, debido a que se han establecido asentamientos humanos en las cercanías de estos frágiles ecosistemas. Sarcocornia neei es una Amarantácea halófita, que habita estos humedales, con potencial de ser usada como alimento; está siendo desplazada por la actividad humana y aún se desconocen aspectos básicos de su biología. Por lo tanto, nuestro objetivo fue conocer la ecofisiología de esta especie bajo condiciones de invernadero y de laboratorio, viendo la posibilidad de ser cultivada fuera de su ambiente natural.Métodos: Las plantas de S. neei fueron colectadas tanto en el Humedal de Ventanilla como en el de Paraíso, Lima, Perú. Para la prueba de germinación se usaron 600 semillas sometidas a diferentes concentraciones de NaCl (0 M, 0.1 M, 0.3 M y 0.58 M), con tres repeticiones por 15 días. También se plantaron esquejes en sustrato orgánico y adicionando las mismas concentraciones de sal, con tres repeticiones por cuatro meses. Al final de este periodo se realizaron cortes histológicos y también se hicieron extractos de proteínas.Resultados clave: Se obtuvo una mejor germinación en 0.3 M de NaCl. No hubo diferencias significativas en el crecimiento de los esquejes. Se encontraron variaciones histológicas en los tallos dependiendo de los tratamientos y no hubo diferencias significativas en la concentración total de proteínas, aunque sí se encontró una sobreexpresión de proteínas de bajo peso molecular en el tratamiento de 0.58 M de NaCl.Conclusiones: Los resultados muestran que esta especie podría ser cultivada en terrenos salinos y usada en la alimentación humana o de animales, o como especie promisoria en la descontaminación de suelos salinos contaminados con plomo.
The Baltic States: Keeping the Faith in Turbulent Times
Authors: Pettai Vello
Published: June 2020

As the Baltic states commemorated the centenary of their first appearance as independent states in 2018, their celebrations were mixed with feelings of ambiguity about the road travelled since then. Although today we often see Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania as 'post-communist' countries, their experience with communism was actually much harsher than in Central Europe, since, for nearly fifty years, the three countries were forcibly a part of the Soviet Union. This has made their journey back into the European community all that more remarkable, and it has also served to keep these countries somewhat more resistant to the dangers of democratic backsliding. After all, their continued independence and well-being are intricately dependent on keeping the European liberal order intact. Nevertheless, the winds of populism have also begun to buffet these three countries, meaning that they have been struggling to keep their balancing act going. This article reviews the development of the Baltic states over the last 20 years, both in terms of domestic politics and EU accession and membership. It profiles the way in which the three countries have been trying to keep their faith in democracy and liberalism alive amidst ever more turbulent political and economic times.
Europeans but outside of the EU - the EU Soft Power of Attractiveness in Ukraine Between the Orange Revolution and Euromaidan
Authors: Thomson Viktoriya
Published: June 2020

The role of the EU in the promotion of Europeanization and the EU political identity in potential member states of Eastern Europe prior to the 2004 enlargement was important for these states’ future acceptation in the EU community. However, most research and literature have discounted the role of the EU and its attractiveness in the countries neighbouring with the EU that did not have a prospect of joining the EU in 2004. This article studies the process of formal and informal Europeanization in Ukraine before and after the Orange revolution, which occurred five months after the bloc’s 2004 enlargement, and Euromaidan of 2013. Despite the EU’s passive leverage in Ukraine between 2004 and 2013, and the country’s weak prospects for potential membership, the EU’s soft power of attractiveness was still an effective tool that was used by Ukrainian political elite and media in promoting informal Europeanization after the 2004 enlargement. Furthermore, confidence in the EU was associated with support for such liberal values as human rights, tolerance of minorities, and political efficacy. This article posits that notwithstanding weak incentives and support offered from the EU to implement formal Europeanization in Ukraine, the EU attractiveness was successfully applied by local elite and media to promote the informal Europeanization.

Manutenção versus Conservação: a criação do Parque Florestal em Chapecó
Authors: Moretto Samira , Ribeiro Michely Cristina
Published: June 2020

A partir do século XX, a região oeste do estado de Santa Catarina vivenciou um período de maior interferência humana na configuração do meio ambiente. O presente estudo tem como objetivo analisar os processos de transformações ambientais que levaram à criação do Parque Florestal João Goulart, na década de 1960, em Chapecó. Partindo da abordagem proposta pela História Ambiental, utilizase como fontes periódicos regionais e outros documentos relativos ao processo de criação do Parque Florestal. Na região, o setor madeireiro teve grande destaque econômico desde o início da colonização, porém o crescimento do desmatamento ocorreu paralelo às grandes acelerações. Além disso, outro fator responsável por intensificar o desmatamento foi a abertura de novas áreas para os cultivos agrícolas e a criação de animais. A preocupação levantada pelos desmatamentos levou à implementação de medidas institucionais, como a criação de Parques Florestais no Brasil. Entretanto, a atuação dos parques esteve ligada principalmente à manutenção de atividades econômicas em detrimento a conservação.

Published: June 2020

Introduction/Objective. Tarsal dislocations are rare injuries. Usually, they are caused by high-energy trauma. Depending on the type of dislocation, surgical treatment or closed reduction is used. In this study, 13 patients are presented with the aim to analyze the type of feet dislocations, their treatment, and outcome. Methods. Tarsal dislocation cases treated in the University Hospital in Foca were analyzed during the period 2009?2016. All the cases were clinically and radiographically examined and monitored on control examinations at least three years. The mobility of joints was measured and pain existence was estimated by visual analogue scale. Results. All 13 patients with tarsal dislocation were male. Four patients were treated surgically (two patients with tarsometatarsal and one with cuboid and navicular dislocation) and other patients had non-surgical treatment. In 10 patients, an excellent functional result has been achieved and in two patients with tarsometatarsal dislocation a good functional result. In one patient with cuboidal dislocation satisfactory functional result has been achieved. Conclusion. Out of the 13 reviewed patients with tarsal dislocations, functional results were rated as excellent in 10 dislocations, good in two, and satisfactory in one. Diagnosis and treatment of foot dislocations are demanding, but a favorable functional outcome can be expected with an adequate treatment of these injuries.

The learning of mathematics has been the subject of discussion and interest of several researchers, each following different points of view. However, there are several types of theories, each with its own particularities and this diversity for the time being helps the scientific area and sometimes becomes a dilemma for the researcher who, given so many options, is not sure which way to go. In order to promote this understanding, a brief analysis of some theoretical constructs will be presented. Throughout readings and studies of the texts it became evident that there is not a single theory for mathematical education, but distinct theories that are contributions to the construction of the area of mathematical education.Keywords: Mathematical Education; Theories of Mathematical Education; Tendencies.

Published: June 2020

Cyberbullying is a form of bullying that takes place across virtually every social media platform. Twitter is a form of social media that allows users to exchange information. Bullying has been a growing problem on Twitter over the past few years. Sentiment analysis is done to identify the element of bullying in a tweet. Sentiments are divided into 3 classes, namely Bullying, Non-Bullying and neutral. There are three steps to classify cyberbullying i.e. collection of data set, preprocessing data, and classification process. This research used sentiStrength, an algorithm which uses a lexicon based approach. This SentiStrength lexicon contains the weight of its sentiment strength. The assessment results from 454 tweets data obtained 161 tweet non-bullying (35.4%), 87 tweet neutral (19.1%), and 206 tweet bullying (45.4%). This research produces an accuracy value of 60.5%.

Authors: Ledinski Fičko Sanja , Babić Janko , Kurtović Biljana , Smrekar Martina , Hošnjak Ana Marija , Mlinar Matija
Published: June 2020

Introduction. Needle stick injury (NSI) is an occupational health and safety issue. Nursing students are prone to NSI due to lack of experience with handling needles and sharps.
Aim. To determine the level of knowledge about the prevention of NSI and examine the level of knowledge about the post-exposure procedure and the students’ understanding of NSI.
Methods. The study was conducted in 2017 at the University of Applied Health Sciences in Zagreb. The participants were nursing students from all regions of Croatia. The data was collected using a questionnaire containing 17 questions specifically designed for this study. One question had three subquestions and one had five subquestions regarding the knowledge of how to react if a needle stick injury occurs. The participants also responded to a questionnaire on their socio-demographic data.
Results. The study included 149 students. The results show that 16 students have experienced NSI. A statistically significant difference was observed among students who have finished a secondary medical school in the answers about post-NSI interventions and in answers to the question of whether the needle should be recapped. The respondents from medical schools answered correctly. A statistically significant difference was observed among students from non-medical secondary schools in the answers about education on post-exposition procedures and in the answers about necessary action following a needle stick injury. The respondents from non-medical secondary schools had higher scores.

Conclusion. The results of this study can be used to establish appropriate education strategies, increase the awareness of needle stick injuries and minimize the occurrence of these injuries among nursing students in Croatia.
Standard Multimodal Postoperative Analgesia Might Not Be Equally Effective When Comparing Anterior and Posterior Spondylodesis

Published: June 2020

Introduction. Surgical treatment of structural adolescent scoliosis, either through anterior or posterior spinal fusion, results in severe pain.
Aim. In comparison with the anterior approach, the posterior approach is considered advantageous in that several spine curvatures can be corrected in a single operative act. The aim was to compare the effectiveness of a morphine-based multimodal protocol over the first 48 postoperative hours in anterior and posterior surgeries.

Methods. This retrospective chart review included consecutive adolescents (10-21 years of age) treated using either the anterior (n=28) or the posterior (n=30) approach at a single hospital centre over 3 years (2015-2017). Intravenous morphine (48 mg/24 hours) was administered at hourly intervals; pain was assessed using an 11-point (higher score=worse pain) visual analogue scale on 12 occasions during the first 24 hours and on 3 occasions during the second 24 hours. Additional analgesia (non-opioid or weak opioid) was delivered on demand and/or according to medical assessment.

Results. With adjustments for age and number of affected spinal segments, VAS pain scores were lower in the anterior approach, overall (48 hours) (difference = -18%, 95% CI -30 to -5), and particularly over hours 0-3 (-23%, 95% CI -36 to -7%) and hours 4-6 (-26%, 95% CI -40 to -10%) after the surgery. The rate of additional analgesic administrations was comparable throughout the observed period (rate ratios around 1.0).

Conclusion. The evaluated intravenous morphinebased multimodal analgesic protocol appeared less effective in surgeries using the posterior approach, suggesting that the two approaches might require different protocols for the same level of analgesia.
A Comparison of Temporal Life Satisfaction of Nursing Students in the Republic of Croatia and the Republic of Bulgaria
Authors: Toma Denis , Županić Mara , Chusova Yulia
Published: June 2020

Introduction. Temporal satisfaction with life can be defined as satisfaction of an individual with their past, present and future life. When conducting a classic study of satisfaction with life, the focus is placed on different periods in life in order to avoid a potential error in measuring satisfaction with life. Closely connected to the concept of satisfaction with life is the concept of happiness, which represents a momentary, passing experience. Although it is pleasant, it can last for a shorter or longer time period. Satisfaction with life is a much more complex concept. Many authors define it as a general feeling or opinion about the life of an individual. There are a number of factors from different areas of life that contribute to satisfaction with life. They include work, romantic relationships, relations with family and friends, personal growth and health, among others. The measures of satisfaction with life are generally subjective or they are based on variables that an individual considers especially important in their own life.

Aim. The aim is to question and compare the differences in temporal satisfaction with life among nursing students in Croatia and Bulgaria.

Methods. The study included 100 nursing students, out of which 50 students are studying in the Republic of Croatia and 50 in the Republic of Bulgaria. The study used a questionnaire as an instrument of research. The questionnaire was The Temporal Satisfaction with Life Scale (hereinafter TSWLS), which was devised in 1998 by Pavot and associates.

Results. A statistically significant difference was found in 9 out of 15 statements. Furthermore, a statistically noticeable difference is seen in the average evaluation of overall temporal satisfaction with life between Croatian and Bulgarian nursing students.

Conclusion. The study determined statistically significant differences in temporal satisfaction with life amongst students of nursing from Croatia and Bulgaria.
THE SYSTEM OF CATEGORIES OF PSYCHOLOGY AND THE CONCEPTS
OF THE INDIVIDUAL, SUBJECT OF ACTIVITY AND PERSONALITY: SOME LESSONS OF THE CONCEPTS OF KANT, FICHTE, HEGEL AND SARTRE
Authors: Shadrin Nikolay Semyonovich
Published: June 2020

The categories of psychology are understood as the limit generalizations of various classes of psychical phenomena, including both the corresponding groups of particular concepts and the phenomena not yet subjected to final conceptual identification. They can be understood as the basic determinants of the psychic, having a socio-cultural nature (at the level of the subject of activity and personality) or bio-logical nature (at the level of the individual).

The individual, the subject of activity and the personality, not being forms of “psychic”, should nev-ertheless possess special levers of regulation (or self-regulation) of such basic determinants of psyche, as motive, image, communication and action (that indirectly assumes also regulation of all vital activity of the individual subject of life).

Not limited to the formula “personality as a transformed individual”, the author reveals the genetic continuity of the levels of the individual, the subject of activity and personality in the aspect of increasing of the degree of manifestation of the generic essence and “essential forces” of man in his individual exis-tence.

At the same time, analyzing multilevel human activity from the point of view of “spatial” paradigm (in the aspect of human integration into different spheres of living space), the author finds the key to the relative independence of these levels and to the constant transitions from one of these levels of life activ-ity to another.

The justification of the proposed provisions is given on the complex of the corresponding ideas of Kant, Fichte, Hegel and Sartre, taking into account the continuity between them.

The hypothesis of better color differentiation in women compared with men empirically confirmed. The empirical correlate of verbal and non-verbal creativity in young men is a good color differentiation of shades of green. The higher level of non-verbal creativity in young women associated with a decrease in the ability to differentiation of shades of orange. It is concluded that more creative young men and women manifest atypical features of color differentiation for their gender.
