Authors: Obu Raphael Nyarkotey , Aggrey-Bluwey Lawrencia
Published: July 2022

One significant aspect of the Traditional Medicine Practice Act (2000) Act 575 is to ensure the registration of Traditional Medicine Practitioners in the Ghanaian jurisdiction that comes within its ambit. This is made clear by the preamble to the law, which states in part, that the law is to establish a Council to regulate the practice of traditional medicine, to register practitioners and license practices, to regulate the preparation and sale of herbal medicine and to provide for related matters. Thus the letter and spirit of the law are clear without ambiguity. The Traditional Medicine Practice Council established by Act 575 now regulates Complementary and Alternative Medicine Practices in Ghana. This commentary provides or the capacity of Act 575 and the practice of CAM in Ghana.

Authors: Obu Raphael Nyarkotey , Aggrey-Bluwey Lawrencia
Published: July 2022

Despite immense progress made in the area of Complementary and Alternative Medicine in the Ghanaian healthcare system, the Traditional Medicine Practice Council still seeks to regulate CAM practitioners as Traditional Medicine Practitioners under Act 575, despite the clear differences between both professions. This situation has led to numerous conflicts and agitations between practitioners of both forms of medical practice. This paper presents a commentary on the evolution of CAM legislation and regulation in Ghana.

Published: July 2022

Urinarytract infection is one of the most prevalent frequently found disorders in pregnant women caused by bacteria and if it is not diagnosed then untreated UTI can causes serious maternal and fetal complications. The purpose of this work was to study the prevalence of urinary tract infection among pregnant women of Ujjain and to identify uropatogens and their antibiotic susceptibility pattern in pregnant women of Ujjain. A total of 120 midstream urine samples of pregnant women were collected aseptically and cultured on different growth media. The isolated bacteria were identified by standard microbiological procedure and the antibiotic susceptibility pattern was recorded using Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method. Out of 120 urine samples, 78 samples tested positive for UTI suggesting that (65%) of pregnant women suffered from UTI and most prevalent bacterial pathogen was (41.0%) followed by (23.0%), (11.5%), (14.1%) and (10.2%). Majority of the isolated uropathogens were showing high sensitivity towards Doripenem, Meropenem and Imipenem while very less sensitivity towards Ampicillin and Penicillin. The study shows high prevalence of UTI among pregnant women and occurrence of high resistance towards antibiotics. So routine screening of the pregnant women having UTI and proper selection of antibiotic for treatment is needed for reducing the risk of serious complications during pregnancy.

Authors: Gowthami B , Mishra J K , Srivastava Ragini , Shah Deepak Kumar , Srivastava G N , Sravani K S
Published: July 2022

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a disorder involving various other systems in the body apart from lungs. Such co-existence leads to worsening of disease control and associated increase in the morbidity as well as mortality of the diseased patients. They COPD patients are more prone for association with low fat free mass and low bone mineral density owing to pronounced persistent inflammation and various other associated risk factors. Low bone mineral density in those patients lead to the development of osteoporosis in those patients. Osteoporosis also worsens COPD and reduce their symptom free survival and reduction in day-to-day activities. However, the occurrence of osteoporosis in COPD patients is not well represented.

The main objective is to study the occurrence of low bone mineral density leading to osteoporosis and osteopenia in COPD individuals and to propose various risk Factors leading to its development.

This cross-sectional prevalence study was done in a tertiary care hospital in the department of Respiratory medicine over a period of 2 years. 100 diagnosed patients of COPD by spirometry (FEV/FVC < 0.70) according to GOLD guidelines were included in the study. Spirometry was done to group the patients in various grades of airflow obstruction severity and DXA scan of lumbar spine was done with the help of bone densitometer to determine the T-scores and to look for the presence of any reduction in Bone Mineral Density (BMI) satisfying WHO osteoporosis diagnostic guidelines.

Among the 100 patients of COPD, 52 patients (52%) had osteoporosis and 22 patients (22%) had osteopenia. Majority of the patients (96.1%) who had osteoporosis were confined to stages 3 and 4 GOLD grading of severity of airflow obstruction. Patients in stages III and IV of airflow obstruction severity were found to have reduction in their bone mineral density. Underweight COPD patients were found to have higher cases of osteoporosis. On analysis; female sex, severe degree of airflow obstruction, Underweight, intake of higher doses of inhalational and oral or systemic corticosteroids, frequent exacerbations and deficiency of 1,25-Dihydrocholecalciferol were observed as risk factors for osteoporosis in COPD patients.

In this study, the prevalence of osteoporosis and osteopenia were 52% and 22% respectively in the COPD patients. The risk of acquiring osteoporosis increased with the airflow obstruction severity. Thus, a high index of clinical suspicion and early diagnosis of it is essential to evaluate for osteoporosis in COPD and to treat it early to prevent further disability, morbidity and mortality and to improve the quality of life in COPD patients.

Authors: Mukhopadhyay J
Published: July 2022

Tobacco use is one of the important causes of preventable morbidity & mortality. Worldwide there are 1.1 billion tobacco users with 182 million living in India. College students are highly vulnerable because of their young age, curious mind and adventurous behaviour. Considering potential risk, it was decided to ascertain trend, social risks and correlates of tobacco use among under-graduates in a north Indian town.

228 under-graduate students of a college were selected by stratified random sampling and studied during May – July 2018. Institutional approval and individual consent were taken. A pre-tested, structured proforma was introduced to students in small batches to obtain information on demographic traits, smoking habits and smoking related attributing factors. Data obtained was tabulated and statistically analysed.

Majority of the students (67.1%) belonged to 21-25 years age. 65.7% were male and 15.79% of them were using tobacco. Girls didn’t indulge in tobacco. Significantly higher proportions of smokers were hostellers, belonged to lower middle class families from rural linage. Smoker’s son indulged in smoking significantly more than son of non-smokers. Imitating smoker father or brother found significantly contributory. 37-60% knew about ill effects of smoking through media or warning on packs.

Study showed relatively petite trend with significant cognizance of adverse effects of smoking among collegiate portraying a favourable prospect anew from past observations. Identification of at-risk students is a felt-need and is advocated to be addressed among collegiate through periodic campaign.
Supply-side versus Demand-side Innovation Policies: Exploring the Impacts of Public Procurement of Innovation in Peru
Authors: Crespi Gustavo , Castillo Rafael
Published: July 2022

This paper exploits new data on the participation of Peruvian firms on public tenders to shed light on the potential for public procurement to encourage innovation. Many industrialized countries have gradually enlarged their innovation policy mix to include demand-side interventions, among them the use of public procurement to stimulate innovation investment at the firm level. Latin America, though, exhibits an unbalanced policy mix with little deployment of policy interventions that tackle the conditions that affect the demand for innovation. Using nonexperimental impact evaluation techniques, this research not only assesses the impacts of participating in public procurement projects on firm-level innovation efforts and outcomes but also compares these impacts with traditional supply-side approaches. The findings suggest that public procurement has a significant impact on innovation outcomes, but the results only hold when public procurement requires the development of new solutions. Regular or noninnovative public procurement does not show any impact on firm-level innovation.

Corpora and culturally connotated words
Authors: Stepanova Liubov Iu. , Shchukina Daria A.
Published: July 2022

The article aims to explore some of the possibilities, advantages, and problems of corpus-based analyses of semantic aspects of language in one particular field, namely, the sematic field of natural objects. For this purpose, a methodological procedure was developed, and an exemplary analysis of the semantic field of the word ‘kamen’ (stone) in Russian was performed. The theoretical and methodological procedure is based on the semantic field theory and the lexical approach proposed by Kövecses. As the material of the study, Pavel Bazhov’s narrations – skazy - were used. Bazhov’s skazy are a striking case of the Ural folklore, the national perception of natural objects, their metaphorical rethinking, and enrichment of their semantic fields with additional semantic meanings. The results of the study show that the corpora-based approach to the analysis of culturally connotated designation of natural objects offers several advantages.

Authors: Méndez López Marco Antonio , Martínez Alcántara Susana
Published: July 2022

La aviación es considerada uno de los medios de transporte más seguros, pero también es una de las industrias más demandantes para su personal. Los trabajadores de tránsito aéreo se encuentran expuestos a distintos elementos que pueden llegar a perjudicar su salud y la seguridad en las operaciones aéreas. El objetivo del presente estudio consistió en identificar las exigencias laborales del sector aeronáutico y la relación que guardan con la salud de los trabajadores. Para esto se realizó un estudio transversal, observacional y descriptivo, buscando asociaciones estadísticas, con una muestra de 199 trabajadores de Servicios a la Navegación en el Espacio Aéreo Mexicano (SENEAM). Para identificar las variables de interés, se elaboró un cuestionario electrónico a partir de los siguientes instrumentos: encuesta individual del proessat, escala de depresión, ansiedad y estrés (DASS-21) y prueba de síntomas subjetivos de fatiga (Yoshitake). En el análisis estadístico, se utilizaron los programas jmp Student Edition 14 y StataSE 14, considerando un nivel de significancia de p≤0.05 y un intervalo de confianza al 95 %. Entre los resultados más relevantes, se encontró que aquellos que se sientan en superficies incómodas presentan mayor fatiga [RP(a)=2.50] el adoptar posiciones incómodas durante el trabajo, se asocia con la presencia de trastornos musculoesqueléticos [RP(a)=2.35], y hay mayor prevalencia de ansiedad en los que realizan trabajo nocturno [RP(a)=1.75] y trabajan más de 48 horas semanales [RP(a) =1.72]. Los resultados muestran que las exigencias laborales repercuten en la salud del personal, lo cual podría afectar su desempeño y reducir los niveles de seguridad operacional, por lo cual se recomienda implementar un sistema de gestión integrado, tanto de riesgos de aviación, como de peligros de seguridad, salud y medio ambiente laboral, con el objetivo de mejorar el entorno organizacional, beneficiando la salud y la seguridad, tanto de trabajadores, como de las operaciones aeronáuticas.

Published: July 2022

COVID-19 is currently considered one of the greatest threats to health, safety, and the economy worldwide. An intense movement of international passengers may be critical for either the contingency or the spread of disease in a pandemic situation. Various research on international and national epidemics and their evolution have already been addressed in the medical literature. However, there are few studies to measure the influence of air transport on the proliferation of COVID-19 in Brazil yet. Thus, this article aims to verify if the movement of international air passengers influenced the COVID-19 spreading in Brazil.
Therefore, air traﬀic and its concentration were analyzed, trying to identify its main entrances and volume of passengers. Afer that, statistical regression methods were used to estimate how passengers coming from countries contaminated by COVID-19 influenced the spread of the disease in Brazil. As a main result, it was found that foreign passengers disembarked in Brazil are directly related to the cases of COVID-19 in the country, making air transport a gateway to the virus in Brazil.

Authors: Puentes Becerra Julián Andrés , Hernández Lozano Andrés Felipe
Published: July 2022

Los desafíos del mundo actual han hecho que las organizaciones vinculen para su protección de activos, físicos y operaciones, a profesionales con las más altas calificaciones, ya sea como empleados directos o como consultores y, aunque, es una práctica que avanza para lograr un reconocimiento generalizado, las certificaciones profesionales, en las diferentes disciplinas de la seguridad integral, han venido en aumento, aunque la mayoría son limitadas a una norma internacional específica, u otorgadas por entidades de poco prestigio, así tengan carácter internacional que, por momentos, hace perder el contexto globalizado, holístico y sistémico que la seguridad integral demanda. En la actualidad, empresas tanto del sector productivo como del sector prestador de servicios, han reconocido en las certificaciones un sello de garantía a estos profesionales, debido al reconocimiento que las organizaciones globales hacen a estos profesionales, que automáticamente los ubican en estado de expertos de dicha disciplina, toda vez que experto es el nivel de reconocimiento por una comunidad profesional específica, más que por el mismo actor. Ante este amplio panorama, el presente artículo tiene como propósito establecer la contribución que tienen las certificaciones internacionales en la dirección y gestión de la seguridad integral, a través de la experiencia de profesionales certificados que prestan sus servicios como líderes dentro de las organizaciones o como consultores externos, con el fin de hacer un balance de la realidad y los retos al futuro de la gestión en la seguridad integral.

Published: July 2022

Este artigo descreve o uso do Function Acquisition Speed Test (FAST; Teste de Velocidade de Aquisição de Função) para avaliar histórias de aprendizagem verbal com estímulos raciais em 81 estudantes universitários brasileiros com base em diferenças entre tons de pele. A Condição 1 comparou estímulos usando mulheres negras e brancas, enquanto a Condição 2 comparou estímulos usando mulheres com pele mais clara e mais escura. Assim, o principal objetivo deste estudo foi verificar se o FAST é um procedimento experimental útil para medir histórias de aprendizagem verbal em questões que envolvem estímulos raciais com estudantes universitários brasileiros. Os estímulos experimentais usados foram imagens de rostos de mulheres com cor de pele mais escura ou mais clara e palavras escritas com significados positivos ou negativos. Os resultados indicaram que 51 dos 81 participantes (63%), sendo 28 dos 41 participantes (68%) na Condição 1 e 23 de 40 participantes (58%) na Condição 2, demonstraram taxas de aprendizagem mais rápidas no bloco consistente com estereótipos de raça em comparação com os blocos inconsistentes. Estes dados indicam moderadamente que o FAST parece ser sensível para quantificar relações entre estímulos raciais. As variáveis que podem ter influenciado estes resultados são discutidas.

Authors: Collins Andrea , Hess Mary Annette , Hallman Melanie Gibbons , Johnson Karmie , Harris Lindsey , Petty Ashely , Roussel Linda
Published: July 2022

Background

Concern has been raised related to the rigor of DNP team projects due to the potential lack of individual opportunity for growth. However, team science, the scientific collaboration conducted by more than one individual in an interdependent fashion, is becoming standard practice for scientific inquiry and dissemination. DNP team projects provide an opportunity to demonstrate competencies related to collaboration, communication, organization, planning, reliability, accountability and acknowledgement of other opinions, expertise, and contributions. Faculty working with student teams may encounter challenges related to team dynamics and individual student evaluation. Thoughtful application of team science principles can assist in minimizing these challenges.

Method

The purpose of this paper is to describe two school’s combined experiences and lessons learned in application of team science to DNP team projects.

Conclusion

When undertaken with an informed and organized approach, DNP team projects are an ideal strategy to enhance collaborative skills and position nurse leaders to positively impact health outcomes.

Authors: Potard Catherine , Combes Céline , Kubiszewski Violaine , Pochon Régis , Henry Audrey , Roy Arnaud
Published: July 2022

The health consequences of being involved in bullying and cyberbullying are well described for adolescents, but many questions related to the role played by their life skills remain unanswered. Accordingly, this systematic review aims to provide a clear overview of research on the relationships between bullying involvement as a bully, victim, bully-victim or bystander, and adolescents' life skills. This article systematically reviewed 71 relevant empirical studies that met the inclusion criteria, extracted from the PubMed, PsycINFO, Scopus, Sage, Wiley, and SpringerLink databases. Their main findings were categorized according to the three types of life skills described by the World Health Organization: decision-making/problem-solving skills, interpersonal and communication skills, and self-management skills. Results showed relatively consensual outcomes for communication and interpersonal skills (empathy, moral disengagement) and skills for managing stress (coping strategies). Other decision-making or interpersonal skills, such as executive function or theory of mind, were poorly explored, and require further research, if we are to understand how life skills may be involved in bullying. Taken together, our findings highlight methodological heterogeneity and measurement problems in bullying studies that make their results difficult to interpret. Recommendations for prevention/education health researchers and professionals are provided, emphasizing the importance of considering the sociocognitive development of adolescents in bullying prevention.

Published: July 2022

Focus groups were conducted to examine college women’s perceptions of the risks of dating app dating, how risks are mitigated, and if risk identification and mitigation strategies differ by sexual victimization status. Over 60% of the sample reported a history of sexual victimization. The risk associated with dating app use fell into three themes: unsafe sexual situations, deception, and non-sexual interpersonal violence. Participants’ self-reported risk mitigation strategies included logistical strategies, investigative strategies, social strategies, instinctual strategies, and safety planning strategies. Sexually victimized women reported greater or comparable risk identification and risk mitigation strategies as non-victimized women, suggesting difficulties in risk responding.
Predictors of Skeptical Responses to Disclosures of Childhood Sexual Abuse
Authors: de Roos Melissa S. , Curtis Shelby R
Published: July 2022

Victims of Childhood Sexual Abuse (CSA) may be met with skeptical responses when they disclose their experience. The fear of such a response means that most victims delay telling anyone about the abuse. The aim of this study was to explore how contextual factors of abuse such as victim gender and age, perpetrator gender, and victim–perpetrator relationship affect a response to CSA. Further, we explored what personality traits may predict a skeptical response. An online questionnaire with 357 undergraduate students asked participants to read a vignette describing CSA, and to indicate the extent to which they believed the vignette, whether they blamed the victim or perpetrator, and what punishment they would recommend for the perpetrator. Results indicated that older victims were less likely to be believed and more likely to be blamed than younger victims. Further, we found more blame was placed on a perpetrator of intrafamilial abuse compared with extrafamilial abuse, but only if the perpetrator was male. Female perpetrators were punished less harshly than male perpetrators, but female intrafamilal perpetrators received harsher punishment than female extrafamilial perpetrators. No such effect was found for male perpetrators. Openness to Experience was associated with a more supportive response to CSA, as was Agreeableness. Implications and future directions are discussed.
Gobierno de Carlos E. Restrepo, 1910 -1914. Ascenso y decaimiento de la Unión Republicana
Authors: Monroy Hernández Claudia Liliana
Published: July 2022

La Unión Republicana fue un movimiento político que estuvo vigente en Colombia entre 1908 y 1914 y que significó un avance en términos de modernidad política bajo principios de tolerancia y conciliación. El objetivo de este artículo es analizar el periodo presidencial de Carlos E. Restrepo 1910-1914, considerado un gobierno de tendencia moderada, que buscó consolidar la paz y el progreso nacional haciendo frente a la inestabilidad económica y política, y a los conflictos entre liberales y conservadores. El texto se enmarca en la historia política, y pretende dar cuenta de las instituciones, los sujetos, las ideas, las redes de información, el papel de los actores y las prácticas políticas. La hipótesis que se plantea en este artículo es que la Unión Republicana aunque propuso un ligero avance en el progreso económico, formuló una política novedosa de instrucción pública, intentó separar a la Iglesia de la política y dio representación tanto a liberales como a conservadores en el gobierno de Carlos E. Restrepo; no fue lo suficientemente sólida, ni pudo hacer frente a la mentalidad y prácticas políticas tradicionalistas de la sociedad colombiana propias de comienzos del siglo XX, que se movían en la contienda bipartidista, ocasionando la oposición de antiguos amigos y aliados del republicanismo; el consecuente retorno de muchos de sus líderes a los partidos de origen; el debilitamiento del proyecto republicano y la erosión de la Unión Republicana como movimiento político bipartidista.
A guerra do Paraguai e a construção da imagem de uma voluntária da pátria: o caso Jovita Alves Feitosa (1865-1867)
Authors: Santana de Araújo Johny
Published: July 2022

O presente artigo pretende mostrar como em meados de 1865, o presidente da Província do Piauí Franklin Américo de Meneses Dória auxiliado pelos jornais atuou no sentido de construir uma imagem de heroína da voluntária Jovita Alves Feitosa, a fim de promover o alistamento de homens para as forças armadas do Império do Brasil em guerra contra a República do Paraguai. Procuramos compreender por meio da análise documental, dos periódicos da época, de um texto biográfico escrito em sua homenagem, e com auxílio de uma bibliografia, sobre como ocorreu sua incorporação ao Exército, qual a atuação dos jornais na época, e como se deu a sua viagem até a Corte no Rio de Janeiro. Foi possível perceber como efetivamente a intensa propaganda construída em torno da voluntária conseguiu dividir a sociedade da época, se colocando a favor e contra o seu alistamento ao tempo em que paradoxalmente os mesmos jornais acabariam explorando a notícia de sua morte, ocorrida no ano de 1867 por questões passionais, dois anos após a sua apoteótica chegada ao Rio de Janeiro.

El propósito de este artículo es mostrar el uso del miedo y la desinformación en las campañas electorales, por parte de la prensa y los grupos políticos asociados a esta, en particular la campaña presidencial de 1930, la cual inició un año antesy dio como resultado el triunfo del candidato Enrique Olaya Herrera, apoyado en buena parte por el Partido Liberal. Esta campaña fue especial en muchos sentidos: uno, que faltando un mes aproximadamente para las elecciones se confirmó laparticipación de un nuevo candidato; dos, la desesperación y los intentos fallidos de unión de las dos facciones dentro del partido conservador; tres, el recorrido que hicieron los candidatos por las principales ciudades; cuatro, el uso de nuevos medios de transporte, plazas públicas llenas y la prensa publicando las noticias de la campaña a la velocidad del telégrafo. En tales circunstancias, este artículo enfatizará en el uso de noticias falsas por periodistas y políticos, quienes aprovechando las distancias y el rumor crearon contenidos falsos de diferente tipopara dañar a sus opositores y, en últimas, ganar las elecciones. Para ello se identificará y clasificará los contenidos publicados en el diario El Deber según tres categorías: conexión falsa, contenido impostor y contenido inventado.

Bajo la dirección de investigadoras e investigadores de la Universidad Pedagógica y Tecnológica de Colombia (Uptc) y la Universidad Pablo de Olavide de Sevilla (Upo), este trabajo procura analizar la experiencia de internacionalización del Doctorado en Ciencias de la Educación de la Uptc - Rudecolombia, comparando la primera pasantía presencial del año 2000 con la virtual de 2020, en época de pandemia del covid-19. Por tanto, se analiza la internacionalización del currículo en casa con los mecanismos que han establecido las redes de investigación para llegar a sus miembros, estableciendo lazos que humanicen las relaciones académicas con los retos humanos y de realidades virtuales en los contextos de la desfinanciación de la universidad pública en Colombia. Bajo el método de la historia social y análisis heurístico de las fuentes, se concluye que el programa doctoral ha implementado desde los inicios la internacionalización en el currículo, movilidad e investigación. En esta pasantía virtual se evidenciaron las buenas prácticas desarrolladas por universidades en red y la capacidad creativa del colectivo para lograr las experiencias en espacios y tiempos específicos, con actividades permeadas por la presencia del afecto humano en la distancia, solucionando problemas de la virtualidad, humanos, institucionales y concernientes al desfinanciamiento de la universidad pública en Colombia.

The purpose of the research is to study music performance anxiety and characteristics of the functions of the executive system of the brain among students of the children's music school. In our research, we use questionnaire for collecting general information, Lusher’s test for the diagnosis of anxiety and Stroop test for the determination of rigidity/plasticity of thinking. The aim of the research is to study the anxiety of musicians of primary school age and the features of the functions of the executive system of the brain, more precisely, the prefrontal cortex, before and after classes with the help of the “Music Performance Anxiety Correction Notebook”. The subject of the research is anxiety, cognitive rigidity and self-regulation among musicians before and after passing a series of classes with the help of the “Music Performance Anxiety Correction Notebook”. The Notebook made it possible to reduce anxiety indicators in students at a children's music school without impairing the executive abilities of the frontal lobes. In the future, we plan to test the notebook on children of different age categories in children’s music school, as well as to develop a program for music performance anxiety correction among gifted children from different creative directions – music, choreography, acting, poetry. This research allows us to develop further the problem of “music performance anxiety” in Russia.

Published: July 2022

We consider the organizational culture of a university lecturer. Organizational culture affects the efficiency and competitiveness of both the university itself and each teacher. The types of organizational culture of a university lecturer are diagnosed using the OCAI methodology, which can provide an assessment of the current characteristics of this culture and potential actions to be taken. Described in the research 4 types of organizational culture among university lecturers are clan, bureaucratic, market and adhocracy. To determine the types of organizational culture in the institutes of the Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration, we conduct an empirical study using a developed survey that contained questions and statements corresponding to the types of organizational culture of the lecturer. The obtained current state of the types of organizational culture of lecturers has revealed problem areas, the elimination of which is necessary for the effective design of the culture development model. The conducted empirical research revealed the relationship between the types of organizational culture of lecturers and corporate social responsibility, which implies the existence of an ethical quality policy regulating the activities of the university community. The model developed in the course of the research showed that the types of organizational culture predict the variable formation of corporate social responsibility.

We analyze the specifics of the training of future officers performing professional functions related to the secret service. The analysis of national and foreign studies allows establishing the theoretical provisions defining personal and business qualities and the system of purposeful education of future officers. The military professional service in the field of secrecy has a specific nomenclature of requirements that regulate the necessary list and the level of formed qualities and abilities of the personality of military specialists, so scientifically based educational process in military educational institutions is necessary. When studying theoretical information we use methods of analysis, concretization and generalization. In the experimental part of the research, we use methods of expert evaluation, correlation analysis and design. As a result of the study, the main directions of the process of professional education of the future officer were identified, forming his personal and business qualities as a military specialist. The list of personal and business qualities of military personnel performing professional functions related to the secret service has been clarified. We consider the process of professional education of future officers in military educational institutions of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, providing training for secret service officers, its internal and external subsystems. The conducted research proves the need to consider the problem of the formation of personal and business qualities of military personnel performing professional functions related to the secret service, as well as the construction of an educational process aimed at the development of these qualities. The presented results can be applied in the process of research and educational work in higher military educational institutions.
