The role of conscious self-regulation, language competence and non-cognitive properties in the success of the russian language in secondary school
Authors:   Psychological Institute of the Russian Academy of Education, Bondarenko I. N. , Fomina T. G. , Morosanova V. I.
Published: October 2020

Article considers the problem of psychological predictors of the academic success in learning Russian language in secondary school. An empirical study was conducted on a sample of students from 7–9 grades (N = 286). The students were examined using a set of diagnostic methods, including Morosanova’s Self-Regulation Profile of Learning Activity Questionnaire, method of diagnostics of the learning motivation and emotional attitude to learning (A. M. Prikhozhan), «Big Five — the children’s version», two tasks assessing language competences in the areas of punctuation, spelling, morphology, syntax, semantics, vocabulary, and style (E. D. Bozhovich), and indicators of academic achievement in Russian language. An empirical model of psychological predictors of academic performance in the Russian language was constructed using the structural equation modeling method. The results demonstrate the significant impact of conscious self-regulation to academic achievement in learning Russian language. Conscientiousness itself makes a small contribution to the total year grade, but when students have high self-regulation and low anxiety, it leads to a significant increase in their academic performance. The same positive reinforcing effect is observed in achievement motivation. Language competences such as knowledge of language norms, rules and a sense of language demonstrate an independent influence on the total year grade in Russian, regardless of non-cognitive factors. The obtained results contribute to scientific ideas about the role of self-regulation and non-cognitive predictors of providing various indicators of academic achievements in the success of learning in native language at school. The data can also be used to design psychological and pedagogical interventions aimed at the development of both language competencies of students and conscious selfregulation of their learning activity.

Authors:   Kaluga State University, Aligaeva N. N.
Published: October 2020

This article provides an overview of modern research related to aggressive behavior, ways to control and correct it. The article also displays the results of a pilot study, the main purpose of which is to identify as a need for communication is interconnected with the dominant emotional state of a disabled convict (in particular, with negative emotions − anger, aggression). The basis of the study is the separation of emotional states by E. P. Ilyin. We considered only communicative emotional states, in particular, the emphasis was on negative emotions (anger/aggression). The study was conducted on the basis of correctional colony −2 of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia in Ryazan; in total, 34 people took part. The main empirical methods used were a survey, «Need for Communication», a scale of differential emotions. In working with the people, the ethical principles of the psychologist were observed. We have observed the principles of respect, confidentiality (non-disclosure of medical information about the subject), responsibility, honesty. The study was conducted individually with each man. The convict was offered a protocol with tasks that were performed in the presence of the experimenter. It was revealed that disabled convicts have a great need for interpersonal interaction, while they experience positive emotions, and in rare cases, anxious and depressive ones. The low degree of manifestation of anger and aggression towards other people is most likely associated with indulgence, tolerance, awareness and acceptance of not only their own shortcomings, but also others. A large role here can be attributed to the influence of the psychological service, mainly to self-regulatory skills training.
The association between psychological safety and student engagement, taking into account the peculiarities of their self-regulation
Authors:   Far Eastern Federal University, Bubnovskaia O. V. , Leonidova V. V.
Published: October 2020

The article presents the results of analyzing the association between the components of psychological safety and the characteristics of the educational environment, including the personal involvement of students in the life of the University and the features of self-regulation. These results are identified using methods of descriptive statistics, correlation and comparative analysis. Generally involved students are convinced that immediate participation in the events taking place at the University gives a chance to find something worthwhile, enjoy their activities. They are confident in themselves, and are not afraid of new things. On the contrary, with a low level of engagement, students feel rejected, and this feeling affects their sense of safety. Components of psychological safety correlate with individual development and adequacy of self-assessment and results of their activities and behavior, with the ability to notice changes in the situation, with the adequacy of representations of significant conditions for achieving goals, with the formation of conscious planning of activities and programming of their actions. A special role is played by flexibility and modeling. Emerging regulatory failures reduce the sense of safety, comfort and satisfaction with the educational environment. The research does not focus on external protection from risks, which are a permanent and unavoidable condition of human existence, but on the search for personal resources, the activation of which contributes to psychological security. The more harmonious the system of self-regulation a person is characterized by, the more likely the person is to perceive the environment as safe and conducive to development.
Type of the nervous system as a psychological resource of self-regulation of a student of a pedagogical profile
Authors:   North Ossetian State Pedagogical Institute, Valgasova I. N. , Zotova M. O. , Tegetaeva Zh. R.
Published: October 2020

The article is devoted to the importance of the connection of the type of the nervous system and self-regulation in the professional development of future teachers. Particular attention is drawn to the fact that the formation of the foundations of selfregulation occurs during the period of training, when the process of personality formation takes place. Self-regulation of activity has its own characteristics among representatives of various areas of professional training and is associated with the structure of their temperament. Nowadays, the most urgent problem is the introduction of a differentiated approach into educational practice, but for its implementation an in-depth study of the individual typological and behavioral characteristics of students in pedagogical training areas is necessary. Since the modern high demands on the personal qualities and professional activities of teachers on the part of students and their parents, colleagues and heads of educational institutions are serious external incentives in the teacher’s work on himself. It is obvious that the success of pedagogical activity, in many respects depends on the ability of the future teacher to regulate his professional activities and personal characteristics. The aim of the study was to identify the types of temperament in future teachers, the formation of self-regulation and the relationship between them. The results obtained allow us to more effectively implement a personality-oriented approach in accordance with the specifics of the educational and professional orientation of students. To solve the tasks and verify the consistency of the hypothesis, the study used a combination of informative, reliable, complementary research methods. The data obtained during testing were subjected to mathematical processing in the SPSS program, Pearson’s correlation analysis was used, which allowed us to identify the relationship between the type of nervous system and the level of self-regulation.

Published: October 2020

The article analyzes the interrelationships of conscious self-regulation, psychological well-being, coping strategies and cognitive regulation of emotions in the early and late rehabilitation period in individuals who have undergone high-tech operations on large joints. A sample of 69 people aged 19 to 70 years (46 men and 23 women) collected data twice — immediately after the operation and after a month and a half. The revealed groups with high, medium, and low levels of psychological well-being and conscious selfregulation differ in particularities of using coping strategies, and emotional regulation. Factors contributing to and hindering the improvement of psychological well-being in the postoperative period are identified. High self-regulation supports psychological wellbeing in a difficult period of rehabilitation through the use of strategies for finding social support, planning solutions to problems, and focusing on developing new plans for their lives. This group can positively re-evaluate the events and abandon strategies of escape and catastrophization. The results obtained can be used to create an effective, comprehensive rehabilitation program for people who have undergone high-tech operations.

At the moment, the world is in an unprecedented state of shock and uncertainty. Many countries are actively taking all possible measures to minimize the spread of COVID-19, adapt to the new norms by staying at home and maintaining a social distance when going out. The purpose of this study is to understand how people perceive, understand the new situation and cope with the crisis. There are significant changes in the way of life, new rules are introduced very often, which will probably have to be followed for a long time. We created a 2-part survey: 1) an inventory about stress level and its causes evaluation, changing behavior, in the current situation, trust in power, etc. based on international projects (Fancourt, 2020; Jachimowicz, 2020); 2) coping flexibility scale.

Authors:   Kostroma State University, Kryukova T. L. , Osminina A. A
Published: October 2020

The research problem is to establish the patterns of stress-coping patterns connected with life changes experienced by a person. The aim is to identify whether middle-aged women affected by appearance concerns are coping with the stress of growing older. Hypothesis: Women who are constantly using caring aesthetic manipulations connected with their outlook do rather cope with the stress of aging than addict. To cope with the stress of negative self-perception, women too much concerned about their outlook actively use anti-aging aesthetic procedures. The experimental group (N1 = 54; av. age 48 yrs; SD = 6) included women who actively, persistently and constantly (at least several times a month and for at least a year) use aesthetic manipulations in the medical center; the control group did not resort to manipulations (N2 = 54; av. age 48 yrs; SD = 6). Method of a longitudinal research: interview, consumers` behavior analysis; psycho-diagnostics. Results: stress and discomfort experiencing with attractiveness loss, the continuity and regularity of various manipulations (improving face and body) are confirmed. Half of women use rejuvenation esthetic (non-surgical) services from 4–5 to 11 times a month. The factors of their behavioral activity include: women`s dissatisfaction with the outlook, high level of outlook relevance and value, affiliating themselves to special subculture (women in a control group pay much less attention to their appearance); stress caused by the loss of outlook attractiveness with age, according to their subjective opinion. The analysis of young outlook as a value that influences decision-making during changes showed that in this way women actively cope, reduce stress and fear of the future, improve relationship with the loved ones. At the same time, they risk becoming behavioral addicts, seeking to increase positive emotions, and sense of security.
Self-regulation as a metaresource of education and solving the problems of life during the pandemic
Authors:   Psychological Institute of the Russian Academy of Education, Morosanova V. I.
Published: October 2020

In the article, based on the generalization of the results of theoretical and empirical studies, it is substantiated that the conscious self-regulation of a person is a metaresource of education and solving various problems of life in the crisis conditions of the COVID-19 pandemic. The development of the general ability of conscious selfregulation (GAS) has a positive effect on adaptation to new conditions that increase uncertainty in all spheres of life. The general ability of conscious self-regulation is a resource for self-organization when changing the usual image under conditions of quarantine measures; it is also a resource for updating and creating new competencies to achieve goals; a resource for creating new ways of expressing emotions and feelings. It is the high development of GAS that contributes to the effective and purposeful search for information to overcome the increased uncertainty, for successful adaptation to distance learning and work; choosing and mastering new professions; realization of special abilities and general giftedness of a person. Conscious self-regulation is a psychological resource for stabilizing and enhancing immunity, and its high development prevents the development of acute stress reactions and negative emotional states during the COVID-19 pandemic. Online research has shown that people with a high general capacity for conscious self-regulation are best at coping with self-isolation requirements. It was revealed that the development of the general ability for conscious self-regulation provides universal and special resources for overcoming the difficulties of self-organization and predicts to a large extent the effectiveness of self-organization in new and unusual conditions of self-isolation. The article concludes that to cope with negative emotional states, it is important to choose a strategy for regulating activities, not states. The best means for this is mastering new types of educational, professional, or sports activities, solving complex, non-standard tasks, obtaining a variety of experiences that go beyond the ordinary.
Learning the basis of self-regulation as one of the conditions of socialization of senior preschoolers with general speech underformation
Authors:   Tula State Lev Tolstoy Pedagogical University, Pazukhina S. V , Makashova V. S.
Published: October 2020

The article provides a theoretical justification of the model of psychological and pedagogical support of the process of socialization of children of senior preschool age with a general speech underdevelopment. Based on the selected criteria and indicators, a diagnostic program has been developed that allows you to determine the level of formation of the components of socialization of preschoolers with speech disorders — behavioral, cognitive, social and personal. The authors obtained primary data for assessing the level of formation of the studied components of socialization. It is established that children of this category experience difficulties of a communicative, motivational, cognitive nature, which negatively affects the process of their socialization. One of the problematic aspects is the insufficiently formed level of voluntary self-regulation in them. The results obtained are interpreted as manifestations of modal-nonspecific patterns of impaired development and are used to justify the specifics of psychological and pedagogical support of the process of socialization of children in this category. The developed model of psychological and pedagogical support of these children includes three blocks: diagnostic-designing, correctionaldeveloping, consultative-methodical. The authors described the specifics of the content and methods for implementing each of them. The psychological and pedagogical conditions for the socialization of preschoolers with a general underdevelopment of speech are highlighted: the creation of a psychologically positive microclimate supporting the child’s communication in the family and kindergarten; carrying out special work to correct the deficiencies in the development of the components of socialization revealed in them during the diagnosis; development and implementation of an individual educational trajectory for the development of a preschool child with general speech underdevelopment, taking into account the specifics of nosology; systematic monitoring of the psychological and pedagogical status of the child in terms of changing the dynamics of mental development. As one of the conditions, the influence of arbitrary self-regulation on the success of the development of the listed components of socialization was considered.

Authors:   Kostroma State University, Tikhonova I. V. , Adeeva T. N. , Sevastyanova U. Yu.
Published: October 2020

Disabilities are traditionally seen as development conditions involving personality desocialization risks. Features of the disorder are reflected in the consciousness of the individual. A person’s subjective perception of their disorder is important for social and psychological adaptation. Adaptive features and adolescent content of the inward disorder pattern (IDP) are presented in the article. The sample consisted of 109 participants — adolescents with visual impairments, with hearing impairments, with severe speech impairments, with delayed mental development. The optimal level of adaptation is typical for all respondents. Adolescents with hearing impairment demonstrate a high level of adaptability, indicate a high level of acceptance of themselves and others, emotional comfort, and internal orientation of self-control. At the same time, respondents demonstrate dependence on others. Respondents with delayed mental development have the opposite adaptation variant. A relatively critical level of acceptance of oneself and others, a moderate level of emotional comfort is observed in this group. Teenagers with delayed mental development often demonstrate dominance in relationships. A comparative analysis of the inward disorder pattern components shows a significant difference in the completeness of all components of the inward disorder pattern. Teenagers with visual impairment are best aware of their violation, know the causes and prevention factors. Adolescents with severe speech disorders show poor cognitive component IDP. Teenagers with delayed mental development are fixated on physical sensations. Children with hearing disorders do not notice physical sensations and discomfort associated with the disorder, and do not demonstrate motivation to change in response to the disorder. The greatest number of correlations exists between the motivational, physical component in the IDP and adaptation indicators. However, reliable correlations are established between the cognitive component and the manifestations of dominancedependence.

Published: October 2020

Introduction: Palpable lymph nodes are very common physical examination findings in childhood, and
sometimes it can be challenging to say if it is benign or malignant.
Objectives: This retrospective study evaluated 157 children admitted to an oncology department
because of lymphadenopathy and aimed to determine the clinical, laboratory, and epidemiologic data
valuable for differential diagnosis.
Materials and Methods: One hundred fifty-two cases were analyzed, which were defined as either
malignant or benign by the etiology. The benign cases were also defined to three groups as ‘viral
lymphadenopathy’, ‘bacterial lymphadenopathy’, and ‘other reactive lymphadenopathy’.
Results: A specific cause for lymphadenopathy was documented in 61 (40,1%) cases. Of 152 cases,
benign causes were detected in 133 (87,5%), and malignant causes were detected in 19 (12,5%) cases.
The most frequent cause in the benign group was reactive hyperplasia (59,8%) and in the malignant
group was lymphoma (7,3%). A biopsy was performed from 19 of the cases for diagnosis. Malign causes
were detected in 12 (58%), and benign causes were detected in the remaining 7 (42%). In terms of
differential diagnosis, some symptoms, physical findings, and laboratory tests showed meaningful
differences between the case groups
Conclusions: The following findings were determined as being important to alert physicians about
the probability of a malignant disorder: location of lymphadenopathy, number of associated systemic
symptoms, size of lymph node, abnormal laboratory findings, abnormal chest X-ray.

Authors: Esenülkü Gülnur , Hancı Fatma
Published: October 2020

Introduction: Acute bronchiolitis is the most common cause of hospitalization among infants. Although
antibiotics are not recommended in the absence of secondary bacterial infection, rates of antibiotic
usage is high rate in clinical practices
Objectives: To test the hypothesis that clarithromycin use in infants with acute viral bronchiolitis shortens
length of hospital stay.
Materials and Methods: One hundred sixty-seven patients aged 1-24 months hospitalized for treatment
with a diagnosis of acute viral bronchiolitis at pediatric clinic between April 2017 and May 2018 were
investigated retrospectively. The patients were divided into two separate groups, Group A (122 patients),
using clarithromycin therapy during hospitalization, and Group B (45 patients), which did not receive
clarithromycin (Group B). Demographic and clinical data, treatments received, and duration of hospital
stay were obtained from patients’ records.
Results: The rate of clarithromycin use in this study was 73%. No statistically significant difference in
length of hospital stay was determined between patients receiving clarithromycin and those receiving no
antibiotic therapy. However, length of hospital stay decreased with age. Clarithromycin use elicited no
statistically significant decrease in hospital stay in patients with acute viral bronchiolitis.
Conclusions: The routine use of clarithromycin is not recommended in acute viral bronchiolitis in the
light of its cost and side-effects, and the fact is has no impact on clinical status and hospital stay

Introduction: Henoch-Schönlein purpura or IgA vasculitis that involves small vessels is the most common
vasculitis in childhood and the long term prognosis is contingent on the severity of renal involvement.
Objectives: In this study, we aimed to determine the frequency of organ involvements and to identify potential
risk factors for renal involvement in children with IgA vasculitis.
Materials and Methods: This study included 416 patients with IgA vasculitis who had been followed in our
department between 1990 and 2016. The patients were retrospectively reviewed in terms of type of treatment,
organ involvement and clinical outcome, and potential risk factors for renal involvement were determined.
Results: Overall, 416 patients with IgA vasculitis were identified, including 174 girls (41.7%) and 242 boys
(58.3%). The mean age at presentation was 8.3±3.1 years. The distribution of organ involvement was:
skin involvement, 100%; joint involvement, 77.1%; gastrointestinal system (GIS) involvement, 58.6%; renal
involvement, 38.3%; scalp edema, 10.1%; scrotal involvement, 5.3% (9.0% in boys), central nervous system
(CNS) involvement, 1.6% and pulmonary involvement, 0.25%. When risk factors for renal involvement were
assessed, it was found that GIS involvement was more frequently seen in patients with nephritis (p=0.01). Age,
diastolic blood pressure and GIS involvement at the onset were found to be correlated with renal involvement.
GIS involvement and diastolic blood pressure were found as risk factors for renal involvement.
Conclusion: Age, elevation in diastolic blood pressure and GIS involvement were important findings in prediction
of nephritis. In particular, patients with GIS involvement should be cautiously monitored for renal involvement.
New Diagnostic Methods and Treatment Recommendations in Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia
Authors: Emiralioğlu Nagihan
Published: October 2020

Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a rare and genetically heterogeneous disease and clinically characterized by neonatal respiratory distress, organ laterality defects, persistent rhinosinusitis, chronic bronchitis, and eventually bronchiectasis. Currently, there is no single “gold standard” diagnostic test for PCD. PICADAR (Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia Rule) score is a guide to decide for further evaluation of diagnostic tests in PCD. European Respiratory Society (ERS) and American Thoracic Society (ATS) recommend diagnostic tests, including nasal nitric oxide (nNO), high-speed video analysis (HSVMA), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and genetic testing. Cryo-electron tomography and
immunofluorescence methods are new techniques recently performed by specialized centers and needs to be improved. Age at diagnosis for PCD changes according to awareness of disease and available diagnostic tests in different centers. Regular follow-up and multidisciplinary approach is important in the management of PCD. The main aim of the treatment is to prevent pulmonary exacerbations and slow the progression of the disease since there are no treatment approaches to correct the underlying cilia structure and its functions in PCD. Although, there are not enough randomized controlled trials for the treatment of PCD, recent treatments are usually based on to improve the mucociliary clearance. Early diagnosis with multidisciplinary management and nutritional advice could improve growth and delay disease progression leading to bronchiectasis and lung function impairment in PCD

The number of the passenger using air travel keeps increasing every year. Inconsistency with an increasing number of passengers without medical conditions, the number of passengers with acute or chronic medical conditions increases inevitably. The attitude of commercial aircrafts providing passenger transportation during air travel is associated with altered internal cab pressure, humidity rate, partial oxygen pressure when compared with sea level pressure and medium. Alterations in the internal cab during a flight are usually well tolerated by healthy passengers, however might harm passengers with acute or chronic medical conditions. Around 65 % of health conditions emerging during flights are related to pre-existing medical conditions. Passengers with medical conditions are not fully aware of the potential influences of flight on their acute or chronic conditions. However, treatment options are substantially limited in case of an emergent medical condition during flights. Evaluation and clearance of patients with medical conditions before the flight by physicians experienced in-flight medicine is the key step for elimination or minimizing risks during the flight. Particularly patients with a history of recent hospitalization, injury, surgery, unstable conditions related to chronic health conditions, acute conditions, need for oxygen support, need for stretcher should be thoroughly evaluated before the flight. The present review aimed to investigate preflight medical screening of patients with medical conditions and their risks associated with air travel.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the added value of Diffusion-Weighted Imaging (DWI) and Apparent Diffusion Coefficient (ADC) in distinguishing between benign from malignant solid renal lesions.

Material and Method: A total of forty-seven patients (age range: 33-84, mean: 59.0± 11.3 years, 27 men, 20 women) with solid renal lesions detected on abdominal MR were included in our study group. The ADCs were calculated from DWI data of two different b values (b=600 mm²/s and b=1000 mm²/s). ADC values for both normal renal parenchyma and solid renal lesions were obtained. Subsequently, ROI analysis was performed to identify threshold ADCs. In all cases, the histopathological data were obtained and correlated.

Results: The histopathological outcome comprises 13 benign and 34 malignant solid renal lesions. The solid malignant lesions were Renal Cell Carcinoma subtypes (1 chromophobe cell, four papillary cells, 25 clear cells), 2 Transitional Cell carcinomas, one metastasis, 1 Non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The benign solid renal lesions consisted of 2 oncocytomas and 11 angiomyolipomas. The mean ADC value of malignant lesions was 1,33 x 10-3 mm²/s, benign masses for oncocytomas 1,76 x 10-3 mm²/s, and angiolipomas 1,28 x 10-3 mm²/s respectively (p

The globus pallidus and putamen are highly vascular structures, because of that, they are more sensitive to the metabolic changes in the brain. In the evaluation of nonketotic hyperglycemia and differential diagnosis with imaging findings is in the globus pallidus and nucleus caudatus usually symmetrically and bilaterally but rarely unilaterally hyperattenuating on non-enhanced computed tomography (NECT) and hyperintensity on T1-weighted magnetic resonance images (MRI) have been reported. In this report, we aimed to present poorly controlled diabetic patients that have been admitted to the emergency service with uncontrolled movements defined as chorea.

At the end of December 2019, a fast-spreading outbreak had started due to a novel coronavirus in Wuhan city of Hubei, China. At first, patients who do not meet the disease’s criteria were accepted without COVID-19 but later we noticed that even these patients may have the disease. So, during the pandemic period, every patient must be assumed to have the disease and necessary preventive measures must be taken. In this case, we unexpectedly observed COVID-19 in an old patient who admitted to the emergency department with trauma.
A Comparison of Two-Stage Scheme and Fully Sequential Sampling Scheme for Estimating Software Reliability
Authors: Alanazi Bader S
Published: October 2020

In this paper, we compare two-stage sequential sampling scheme with fully sequential sampling scheme to test software and estimate reliability. In two-stage sampling scheme, test cases can be allocated among partitions in two phases. Our goal of this scheme is to obtain the near-optimal choices for distributing of test cases among sub-domains by minimizing the variance of the overall software reliability estimator. The two-stage sampling scheme is expected to be more convenient than a fully sequential sampling scheme because it requires fewer computations than the fully sequential sampling scheme. Also, the two-stage sampling scheme is expected to perform better than a balanced sampling scheme by virtue of lower the variance incurred by the overall estimated software reliability

— In this paper, we focused on making a study of the valuation of multimode optical fiber which is used a lot in local networks and yet that we talk less in this last decade which knows an increase of new technologies using an enormous speed. To do so, we made a translation between radio frequency MIMO and optical MIMO; a study which has already been carried out in a framework of comparison of two technologies and in the literature, this convergence is already possible. Note that this is done in terms of transfer functions and of which we have made a very explicit analytical study compared to other studies already carried out in the literature for an educational and didactic objective for future studies in this context. Then we focused on doing our valuation study of multimode optical fiber, through optical MIMO technology, and our thinking was based on the quality of the signal at reception, for this, a study of modulation formats was made, because with the rise of technologies, this of course leads to an increase in speeds, so that certain formats tend to almost total disappearance. During this study, the RZ (Return to zero) format is much better in a larger local network, in terms of its Q factor and NRZ (None Return to Zero), for a smaller network, depending on its bit error rate (BER) and their eye diagrams which have a very large aperture and this is extended for the RZ format.

In this paper, we perform an analysis of the Photovoltaic penetrations on Low Voltage Power Distribution Networks. A case study of the East Legon Power Distribution Services M05/52 LV Network. The impacts of high photovoltaic penetration on voltage level and power factors are explored. We fixed power quality analyzers at the distribution substation and at the customers’ nodes; to capture the feeder loads and the voltage profiles. Simulations are done at varying photovoltaic penetrations levels to determine the strike of increasing photovoltaic incursion on the low voltage power network. We present results to show that, the optimum penetration level is achieved at the point where minimum loss reduction is recorded, reverse flow not present and power factor limit is not violated.
