Dye Removal Ability of Pure and Doped Graphitic Carbon Nitride
Authors: Das Dimitra , Sharma Amit Kuamr , Chattopadhyay Kalyan Kumar , Banerjee Diptonil
Published: January 2021

Background:

Rapid escalation in textile, paper, pesticides, pharmaceuticals and several other chemical based manufacturing industries due to amplification in human requirements have proportionately contributed to the extreme contamination of water ecosystem, resulted from the discharge of toxic pollutants from industries. Effluents from textile industries are comprised of coloured dyes like Rhodamine B, Methyl Orange, Methylene Blue and phenolic compounds which deserve special mention owing to their non-biodegradable, carcinogenic and severe detrimental nature. Urgent needs to ameliorate this fast declining environmental situation are of immense necessity in current scenario.

Objectives:

Objectives: In this regard, graphitic carbon nitride (GCN) is a distinguished material for water purification-based applications because of its exclusive characteristics making it highly prospective for degradation of toxic dyes from water by catalysis and adsorption techniques. GCN has been a material of conspicuous interest in recent times owing to its two dimensional sheets like structure with favourable surface area, and cost-effective synthesis approaches along with high production yield. This article presents a detail study of different aspects of GCN as a material of potential for water purification. Through extensive literature survey it has been shown that GCN is an effective material to be used in the fields of application. Several effective procedures like catalysis or adsorption for removal of dyes from water have been discussed with their basic science behind.

Conclusions:

This systematic effort shows that GCN can be considered to be one of the most efficient water purifier with further advantages arising from its easy and cost effective large scale synthesis.
Dopaminylation in Psychostimulant Use Disorder Protects Against Psychostimulant
Seeking Behavior by Normalizing Nucleus Accumbens (NAc)

Published: January 2021

Background:

Repeated cocaine administration changes histone acetylation and methylation
on Lys residues and Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) within the nucleus accumbens (NAc). Recently
Nestler’s group explored histone Arg (R) methylation in reward processing models. Damez-
Werno et al. (2016) reported that during human investigations and animal self-administration experiments,
the histone mark protein-R-methyltransferase-6 (PRMT6) and asymmetric dimethylation
of R2 on histone H3 (H3R2me2a) decreased in the rodent and cocaine-dependent human NAc.
Overexpression of PRMT6 in D2-MSNs in all NAc neurons increased cocaine seeking, whereas
PRMT6 overexpression in D1-MSNs protects against cocaine-seeking.

Hypothesis:

The hypothesis is that dopaminylation (H3R2me2a binding) occurs in psychostimulant
use disorder (PSU), and the binding inhibitor Srcin1, like the major DRD2 A2 allelic polymorphism,
protects against psychostimulant seeking behavior by normalizing nucleus accumbens
(NAc) dopamine expression.

Discussion:

Numerous publications confirmed the association between the DRD2 Taq A1 allele
(30-40 lower D2 receptor numbers) and severe cocaine dependence. Lepack et al. (2020) found
that acute cocaine increases dopamine in NAc synapses, and results in histone H3 glutamine 5 dopaminylation
(H3Q5dop) and consequent inhibition of D2 expression. The inhibition increases
with chronic cocaine use and accompanies cocaine withdrawal. They also found that the Src kinase
signaling inhibitor 1 (Srcin1 or p140CAP) during cocaine withdrawal reduced H3R2me2a binding.
Consequently, this inhibited dopaminylation induced a “homeostatic brake.”

Conclusion:

The decrease in Src signaling in NAc D2-MSNs, (like the DRD2 Taq A2 allele, a well-
known genetic mechanism protective against SUD) normalizes the NAc dopamine expression
and decreases cocaine reward and motivation to self-administer cocaine. The Srcin1 may be an important
therapeutic target.
A Review of Classical and Modern Control Techniques Utilized in Modern Microgrids
Authors: Shahbaz Muhammad Hamza , Amin Arslan Ahmed
Published: January 2021

Because of the consistently expanding demand of energy, the introduction of a decentralized
microgrid based on energy resources will soon be the most exciting development in the
power system. Microgrids (MGs), which are mainly based on inverters, are becoming more popular
as they can handle different forms of renewable energy effectively. However, one of the most
challenging areas of research is their control. In the last few years, many control strategies have
been developed. In this review, different control methods have been discussed, applicable to the
MG system. Furthermore, the comparative analysis of classical and modern control strategies is
also considered. This survey guides the new researchers about all available control strategies and
room for improvement towards the optimal solution of the MG control techniques. It also identifies
several research gaps and future trends therein as well as provides a solution to manage
problems in MGs. The strategies are then compared based on their applicability to different control
requirements.
A participação da comunidade no estudo das práticas devocionais e culturais da Foz do Douro
Authors: Santos Marisa Pereira
Published: January 2021

The definition of cultural heritage brings together the several elements of culture and makes us reflect on cultural practices that go beyond the built and artistic heritage. In fact, culture is a universal phenomenon that can arise anywhere and in any time as long as human presence exists. In the process of identifying and valuing the heritage asset, the community participation is essential, which is an active agent in the heritage co-production. When an investigator studies a particular material or immaterial asset, it is essential to understand its current framework within the community to which it belongs. This is only achieved if it is involved in the process of researching, valuing and safeguarding the good. Not infrequently it is the community that provides the researcher with essential sources through interviews, that allow the registration of oral memory, and often unpublished written and visual documentation. Such participation is clearly evident in the current process of investigation of Foz do Douro's cultural and devotional practices. This chapter intends to make known the involvement of this community in the study, in particular, of the Procession of Senhor dos Passos, the S. Bartolomeu Parade and the Foz do Douro Martial Band, whose members are also witnesses of the history of the group.

FÓSSEIS : Que Património?
Authors: Mateus Simão
Published: January 2021

Is paleontological heritage cultural heritage? For some readers, the answer will be as immediate as for others the question may seem unreasonable. That is, the answer can range from an imperative YES to a scandalized NO. This is not an innocent question and the answer is not easy either, and it will depend on the perspective of the respondent and his area of studies that vary the notion of adopted heritage. It is also not just a rhetorical question and without practical purpose, since it depends on the interpretation of the legislation and its efficiency. We will see the consequences of these notions in the drafting of legislation and its application, both at the national level and some examples of culturally close countries.

REFORMULASI PENGATURAN MENGENAI FINANCIAL TECHNOLOGY DALAM HUKUM POSITIF DI INDONESIA
Authors:   Badan Pembinaan Ideologi Pancasila RI, Ulya Nurul , Musyarri Fazal
Published: January 2021

Financial Technology, one of the disruptive innovations that restructures aspects of the financial industry and influences people's lifestyles, needs to be balanced with the fulfillment of accommodative legal development. Efforts to develop Financial Technology has caused the technical and service problems. These problems can be minimized by the construction of a legal component both in terms of substance which to date has been deemed inadequate, as well as the institutional aspect of authority, namely the OJK which is considered to be incapable in accommodating the legal aspects of Financial Technology. As a normative juridical research using legislation and conceptual approaches, the focus of the author here is to annotate legal buildings that cannot guarantee legal protection in the development of Financial Technology in an ideal manner. What needs to be underlined is that the development of Financial Technology should require Technology Ethics considerations that can affect Indonesia's readiness in facing the Disruptive Era. This is where the idea of Technology Ethics needs to be penetrated in legal convergence to create a more ideal legal order.
PELAYANAN PERIZINAN SECARA ELEKTRONIK SEBAGAI UPAYA MEMBERIKAN KEPASTIAN HUKUM DALAM MELAKUKAN INVESTASI
Authors:   Fakultas Hukum Universitas Katolik Parhyangan (UNPAR), Sembiring Sentosa
Published: January 2021

In creating an investment climate to compete with other countries, various efforts have been made by the government, including simplifying the licensing process by issuing Government Regulation Number 24 of 2018 concerning Electronically Integrated Business Licensing Services (government regulation). The problem is whether the existence of these regulations can immediately solve licensing problems? This normative research using a statutory approach is collected through secondary data sources. As a result, the issuance of the government regulation is the first step in an effort to speed up the licensing process for investing. However, other efforts are needed so the presence of investors can increase, namely by equalizing the perceptions of all parties related to investment, so that the regulations issued do not conflict with each other. With synchronization, investors will get legal certainty and guarantees in carrying out their investments.

Knowledge, attitude, and practice toward COVID-19 among paramedics in Saudi Arabia: Implications for educational program
Authors:   EMS Department, Prince Sultan Bin Abdulaziz College for EMS, King Saud University, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Alrazeeni Daifallah
Published: January 2021

Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) is an ongoing public health issue, which threatens the lives of more than 2.4 million people worldwide. This study's purpose is to establish paramedics’ knowledge, attitude, and practices (KAP) towards COVID-19 in Saudi Arabia. An online cross-sectional, descriptive study was conducted among paramedics in four hospitals via WhatsApp Messenger. The study population was composed of paramedics aged 18 years and above. A pre-validated questionnaire was used to evaluate KAP towards COVID-19. Bloom’s cut-off of 80% was used to assess sufficient knowledge (≥80%), positive attitude (≥4), and good practice (≥2.4). All analyses were performed using SPSS version 26 of the approaching 300 paramedics, 71 (24%) responded. The majority of participants were male (n=61, n=85.9%), with an average age of 33 (range: 18–57) years. Overall, 4.2% (n=3) had sufficient knowledge, 42% (n=30) had a positive attitude, and 4% (n=4) had good practice regarding to COVID-19. There was a statistically significant difference between paramedics’ KAP according to their socio-demographic characteristics. Younger paramedics (≥ 18) have sufficient knowledge and a good practice toward COVID-19 than older paramedics (≥37) (p=0.000, p=0.005), respectively. Older paramedics (≥37) have a positive attitude towards COVID-19 relative to younger paramedics (≥ 18) (p=0.000). A statistically significant difference between the total KAP and the level of education (p=0.000) at which the diploma (p=0.000) had sufficient knowledge of COVID-19 than the bachelors and the postgraduate level. Bachelor's and graduates have a positive attitude (p=0.000) towards COVID-19 than the diploma. Saudi paramedics have poor knowledge of COVID-19. In addition, the results of this study have shown that there are statistically significant differences in KAPs’ paramedics according to their demographic characteristics. The author suggests follow-up studies concerning emergency medical services (EMS) settings around the country. Relevance to clinical practice: Ongoing professional education program for Saudi paramedics is encouraged to improve knowledge of paramedics, thus preventing negative attitudes and encouraging constructive preventive and therapeutic practices.
A Codificação do Direito Municipal
Authors: Delorenzo Neto A.
Published: January 2021

O direito municipal estabelece o ordenamento jurídico da administração pública do município., e atinge, nas respectivas relações, um raio de ação tão amplo que tem por limites as próprias manifestações da vida local. Trata-se de um direito especial cujas normas se caracterizam pelo poder de análise, diverso do direito administrativo, mais adstrito à síntese que à análise.

As normas de direito administrativo, emanadas do poder da União, têm natureza política, em contraposição com as do Direito Municipal, — técnico por excelência. A unidade de interêsses da comunhão local, capaz de coordenar normas heterogêneas, a capacidade de produzir direitos pelo município como ente autônomo dentro do Estado, o fenômeno da municipalização dos serviços públicos — constituem, sem dúvida, o fundamento do direito municipal.

Amizade seletiva: análise estratégica da funcionaldiade do amicus curiae
Authors: Ferreira Débora Costa
Published: January 2021

RESUMO:O presente estudo analisa estratégica e empiricamente se o amicus curiae tem efetivamente desempenhado as funções propagadas pelo discurso doutrinário e jurisprudencial de legitimação democrática e ampliação da cognição do juízo, ou se essa figura tem servido a outros interesses. Os resultados da análise empírica – a partir de dados de ações de controle concentrado de constitucionalidade com participação de ao menos um amicus curiae julgadas pelo STF entre 1990 e 2017 – confirmam os padrões identificados na análise estratégica e revelam que a Suprema Corte faz o uso estratégico da figura do amicus curiae, tratando distintamente os diferentes tipos de participantes, ao citar mais aqueles tipos que tragam maior apoio difuso para a corte perante a opinião pública (amicus curiae representantes da sociedade civil) e ao se deixar influenciar mais por participantes com maior poder de barganha institucional e credibilidade argumentativa e informacional (amicus curiae governamentais). Conclui-se, assim, que a Corte é “mais amiga” de alguns tipos de amicus curiae do que de outros.
La Constitución y las emociones: relato alternativo de la Constitución y del Constitucionalismo
Authors: Gómez Isaza Maria Cristina
Published: January 2021

RESUMO:Este artigo procura descrever a narrativa patriarcal e machista criada pelo racionalismo iluminado e pelo constitucionalismo liberal. As paixões e as emoções chegaram à construção da Constituição como interesses econômicos e egoístas, baseados em homens e proprietários brancos. É hora de encontrar uma alternativa emocional que interprete a Constituição sob os princípios da liberdade feminina e da igualdade material. Para isso, será feito um resgate da dependência da paixão e da razão na construção da democracia (supremacia do masculino sobre o feminino), dos motivos e paixões do constitucionalismo para propor a revisão das relações de igualdade entre razão e emoção para construir debates igualitários.
La protección jurídica a parejas del mismo sexo: su fundamento en la constitución democrática boliviana de 2009
Authors: Attard Elena , Serrudo Santelices Patricia
Published: January 2021

RESUMO:A Constituição da Bolívia de 2009, que apoia o constitucionalismo democrático na esfera latino-americana, introduz mecanismos efetivos para a proteção dos direitos das minorias: as diretrizes constitucionalizadas para a interpretação dos direitos e o exercício do controle da convencionalidade. Essas diretrizes emergem de um poder constituinte democrático e respeitam a evolução dos direitos fundamentais; portanto, têm o mandato de serem cumpridas pelos servidores públicos e autoridades que fazem parte dos órgãos constituídos, entre eles o Tribunal Constitucional Plurinacional. Com base nessas diretrizes de interpretação, os direitos dos casais homoafetivos encontram abrigo e proteção no sistema jurídico boliviano. Neste marco, o art. 63 da Constituição deve ser interpretado conforme o bloco de constitucionalidade, de modo que, no exercício do controle convencional, as autoridades judiciais apliquem direta e preferencialmente a Opinião Consultiva 24/17 emitida pela Corte Interamericana de Direitos Humanos; portanto, uma proteção legal igualitária deve ser fornecida no âmbito interno aos casais homoafetivos.
Фотолюминесценция низкоразмерных композитных структур полиметилметакрилат/(Zn,Cd,Mn,Eu)S

Published: January 2021

A colloidal technology for the synthesis and doping of low-dimensional structures based on zinc and cadmium sulfides directly in the medium of an acrylic monomer is implemented in the process of obtaining optically transparent compositions of polymethylmethacrylate/(Zn,Cd,Mn,Eu)S. It is shown that the photoluminescence of the compositions is associated with a system of levels of structural defects of semiconductor particles located in its band gap, which are formed during successive doping of ZnS and CdS layers with Mn2+ and Eu3+ ions, and with intraband 5D0 → 7F1,2,4 transitions of 4f-electrons of Eu3+ ions. Photoluminescence excitation it occurs as a result of the transition of electrons from the valence band of a semiconductor to the levels of defects in its structure and partial energy transfer to the excited energy levels of Eu3+ ions.

An experimental comparison of the methods for modulating the parameters of resonant transverse to the external magnetic field pumping radiation in a two-beam optical magnetometric sensor (so called Bell-Bloom scheme) is carried out, as well as a comparison of these methods with the standard method of radio-frequency excitation of magnetic resonance under conditions of strong laser pumping. It is shown that although the standard method allows one to achieve a greater suppression of the spin-exchange broadening of the magnetic resonance line by pumping light, the Bell-Bloom scheme has advantages that make it possible to obtain similar sensitivity values upon modulation of both the intensity and polarization of the pump light; at the same time, the Bell-Bloom scheme is potentially characterized by higher speed, which is essential for the problems of magnetoencephalography and ultra-low field magnetic resonance imaging.

In a previous study conducted to assess the impact of physical exercise on the symptoms of depression and anxiety in preadolescents in the school environment, which included a subgroup of participants comprising eleven randomly selected teens (aged 9–11) and all enrolled in primary education, it was immediately observed that one participant referred to as Andy was being bullied and teased, and the teachers were completely unaware of this scenario. All the participants of the study were volunteers, and were subjected to low-to-moderate intensity exercise four times a week for five weeks. Psychological self-assessments and physical examinations were performed before and after the program as a part of a blind assessment. In the intervention sessions, the therapists and participants remained unaware of the individual scores. The sessions included the games that highlighted the feeling of movement, postural control, and slow relay races with balancing, in combination with other cooperative, interactive games focused on fun and social contact rather than focusing on the performance. It was reiterated to the participants that mockery was completely prohibited during the program. After the intervention, a significant decrease was observed in the anxiety levels and depression scores of the participants. The most significant change was observed in the participant who was a victim of bullying during the initial training sessions. No changes were observed in the general atmosphere of the classroom. Bullying is quite common (>10%) and is most often completely overlooked. The present study demonstrated a decrease in the symptoms of depression and anxiety in a non-clinical sample of pre-teens attending elementary school when they completed a low-to-moderate exercise program that combined movement and pleasure and encouraged positive and non-competitive interactions among the participants. The program proved to be particularly beneficial for a bullied individual.
Share to Seek: The Effects of Disease Complexity on Health Information–Seeking Behavior
Authors: Alasmari Ashwag , Zhou Lina
Published: January 2021

Background

Web-based question and answer (Q&A) sites have emerged as an alternative source for serving individuals’ health information needs. Although a number of studies have analyzed user-generated content in web-based Q&A sites, there is insufficient understanding of the effect of disease complexity on information-seeking needs and the types of information shared, and little research has been devoted to the questions concerning multimorbidity.

Objective

This study aims to investigate seeking of health information in Q&A sites at different levels of disease complexity. Specifically, this study investigates the effects of disease complexity on information-seeking needs, types of information shared, and stages of disease development.

Methods

First, we selected a random sample of 400 questions separately from each of the Q&A sites: Yahoo Answers and WebMD Answers. The data cleaning resulted in a final set of 624 questions from the two sites. We used a mixed methods approach, including qualitative content analysis and quantitative statistical analysis.

Results

The one-way results of ANOVA showed significant effects of disease complexity (single vs multimorbid disease questions) on two information-seeking needs: diagnosis (F1,622=5.08; P=.02) and treatment (F1,622=4.82; P=.02). There were also significant differences between the two levels of disease complexity in two stages of disease development: the general health stage (F1,622=48.02; P<.001) and the chronic stage (F1,622=54.01; P<.001). In addition, our results showed significant effects of disease complexity across all types of shared information: demographic information (F1,622=32.24; P<.001), medical diagnosis (F1,622=11.04; P<.001), and treatment and prevention (F1,622=14.55; P<.001).

Conclusions

Our findings present implications for the design of web-based Q&A sites to better support health information seeking. Future studies should be conducted to validate the generality of these findings and apply them to improve the effectiveness of health information in Q&A sites.

Background

Approximately 70% of mental health disorders appear prior to 25 years of age and can become chronic when ineffectively treated. Individuals between 18 and 25 years old are significantly more likely to experience mental health disorders, substance dependencies, and suicidality. Treatment progress, capitalizing on the tendencies of youth to communicate online, can strategically address depressive disorders.

Objective

We performed a randomized controlled trial (RCT) that compared online mindfulness-based cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT-M) combined with standard psychiatric care to standard psychiatric care alone in youth (18-30 years old) diagnosed with major depressive disorder.

Methods

Forty-five participants were randomly assigned to CBT-M and standard care (n=22) or to standard psychiatric care alone (n=23). All participants were provided standard psychiatric care (ie, 1 session per month), while participants in the experimental group received an additional intervention consisting of the CBT-M online software program. Interaction with online workbooks was combined with navigation coaching delivered by phone and secure text messaging.

Results

In a two-level linear mixed-effects model intention-to-treat analysis, significant between-group differences were found for the Beck Depression Inventory-II score (difference –8.54, P=.01), Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptoms score (difference –4.94, P=.001), Beck Anxiety Inventory score (difference –11.29, P<.001), and Brief Pain Inventory score (difference –1.99, P=.03), while marginal differences were found for the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire–Nonjudging subscale (difference –2.68, P=.05).

Conclusions

These results confirm that youth depression can be effectively treated with online CBT-M that can be delivered with less geographic restriction.

UNSTRUCTURED

This study examined the consequences of chronic sleep restriction (CSR) with or without curcumin treatment on quantitative histomorphological correlates of the locus coeruleus (LC) nucleus using stereological techniques.
Male rats were assigned to five groups including: 1-control (C), 2- curcumin (CUR), 3- grid floor (GF), 4- CSR and 5- CSR+ curcumin (CUR) (100 mg/kg/day). Animals in the GF group were placed on wire-mesh grids while in the CSR box (modified multiple platform paradigm). After a period of 21 days, rats were sacrificed with their brains excised and assessed using stereological procedures.
Our findings revealed a 22%, 45% and 47% reduction in the total volume, the total number of neurons and glial cells of LC in CSR group as compared to the control groups, respectively (p < 0.01). Such structural changes were abrogated in the CSR+CUR compared to the CSR group.
The study outcome proposed potential neuroprotective effects of CUR in our sleep-restricted rat model. Further translational approaches would shed more light on the possible clinical significance of such finding in human subjects with chronic sleep loss including those with intensive shift-work schedules.

A Moreau-Yosida regularization for Markov decision processes
Authors: Ortega-Gutiérrez R. Israel , Cruz-Suárez H.
Published: January 2021

This paper addresses a class of sequential optimization problems known as Markov decision processes. These kinds of processes are considered on Euclidean state and action spaces with the total expected discounted cost as the objective function. The main goal of the paper is to provide conditions to guarantee an adequate Moreau-Yosida regularization for Markov decision processes (named the original process). In this way, a new Markov decision process that conforms to the Markov control model of the original process except for the cost function induced via the Moreau-Yosida regularization is established. Compared to the original process, this new discounted Markov decision process has richer properties, such as the differentiability of its optimal value function, strictly convexity of the value function, uniqueness of optimal policy, and the optimal value function and the optimal policy of both processes, are the same. To complement the theory presented, an example is provided.

En la agricultura mexicana hay ramas y regiones que se han beneficiado de la liberalización comercial y la integración económica, en virtud del Tratado de Libre Comercio de América del Norte (TLCAN), pero hay sectores, esencialmente los de granos básicos, que se han visto afectados por la liberalización, lo que exacerba la dependencia alimentaria del país. Para comprender las tendencias en el marco del Tratado México, Estados Unidos y Canadá (T-MEC), se hará una proyección (extrapolación) de los próximos 11 años, en función del comportamiento analizado.
Personal Spiritual-Moral Qualities and Empathy as Components of Higher Moral Capacities: Verification of the Relationship based on a Russian Sample
Authors: Ozhiganova Galina V.
Published: January 2021

For contemporary societies, psychological research on moral behaviour, moral manifestations and personality traits has acquired special relevance. In addition, the recent rise of positive psychology offers an important perspective on the study of spiritual-moral qualities (virtues), demonstrating the degree to which a persons happiness in life relates to high spiritual-moral guidelines. Various aspects of personal spirituality, morality and empathy are actively being studied by international scientists; however, in Russian psychology, studies on this topic are scarce. Utilizing a Russian sample, such a study, including the context of higher moral capacities, was conducted for the first time. The theoretical part of this article addresses the issues related to the higher moral capacities, providing definitions and indicating difference between moral capacities and moral abilities: higher moral capacities appropriately belong to the category of spiritual capacities. As part of higher moral capacities, the following components are distinguished: spiritual-moral qualities as a manifestation of a spiritual altruistic orientation and empathy as a manifestation of moral feelings associated with decentration, empathic feeling and empathic care. The relationship between these components is analysed in the empirical part of the article. The purpose of the study was to examine the relationship between indicators of personal spiritual-moral qualities and empathy. The data for the study were collected and processed using The Spiritual Personality Inventory by A. Husain, M. Anas (adapted by G.V. Ozhiganova) and The Interpersonal Reactivity Index by M. Davis (adapted by N.A. Budagovskaya, S.V. Dubrovskaya and T.D. Karyagina). The empirical study involved 90 high school students (girls represented 56% of the sample). The results confirmed our hypothesis: a correlation analysis revealed a relationship between indicators of personal spiritual-moral qualities and empathy in three aspects: (1) cognitive (the Decentration scale), (2) affective (the Empathic Feeling scale) and (3) behavioural (the Empathic Care scale). No relationship was found with the Personal Distress scale reflecting non-spiritual, egocentric tendencies. These findings allow us to consider spiritual-moral qualities (related to a spiritual altruistic orientation) and empathy (disclosed as decentration, empathic feeling and empathic care) as components of higher moral capacities.
Adaptation of a shortened version of Peterson and Seligman’s Values in Action Inventory of Strengths (VIA-IS) with a Russian-language sample
Authors: Bashkatov Sergey A.
Published: January 2021

The Values in Action Inventory of Strengths (VIA-IS) designed by C. Peterson and M. Seligman is in widespread use in modern psychological research. It includes 240 questions aimed at describing personal qualities relating to a persons strengths and virtues of character. In 2002, M. Seligman published an abridged version of the VIA-IS in English, measuring the same strengths as the full version of the inventory, but containing 48 items instead of 240. There is no doubt about the convenience of using the abridged version of this questionnaire for conducting large-scale studies on large samples of respondents. Following this logic, the purpose of this research was to adapt this shortened version of the VIA-IS for a Russian-speaking sample. Examination of data gathered from 239 respondents revealed sufficient internal consistency of the inventory: all six of the scales demonstrated sufficient values of Cronbachs alpha coefficients. Verification of the inventory for retest reliability, carried out six months after the first testing, yielded positive results: it was determined that the correlation coefficients of the data on the scales were within required values for adequate test-retest reliability. A convergent validity test also showed good results. The conformity of the factor structure of the Russian-language abbreviated VIA-IS to the original English-language abbreviated inventory was verified using confirmatory factor analysis. In conclusion, the Russian-language version of the abridged VIA-IS can be used for the psychological measurement of personality strengths of mentally healthy Russian respondents within the context of the positive psychology framework.
