In the 1980s, globalization and business competition led to an instability in work organizations which were no longer able to ensure stable and predictable careers. Responsibility of career managementwas then transferred to workers. Consequently, research on the role of individuals in their career management became popular, while work investigating the role of organizations gradually declined. However, some studies have indicated that it remains beneficial for organizations to invest in practices of career management (PCM)due to theirlink withpositive outcomes for both employees and organizations, suchas workers’well-being. While some studies have shown a link between PCM and indicators of hedonicwell-being, work examining the links with indicators of eudemonic well-being, such as thriving at work, remains scarce.Moreover, previous studies have paid little attention to the psychological mechanisms linking PCM to well-being at work. To fill this gap, our study focused on the synergy of psychological resources (i.e., self-efficacy, hope, optimism and resilience) defined as a core construct, known as PsyCap. The sample consisted of 652 French people workingin nonprofit, private and public organizations. Structural equation modeling and a bootstrapping procedure confirmed indirect effects of PCM on thriving at work through PsyCap. Limitations of the study are discussed.
TRANSITIVE AND VIRTUAL SPACES: COMMON AND DIFFERENT FEATURES

Published: August 2021

In recent decades, a new sphere has emerged, the sphere of virtuality, which a person constructs himself. Phenomenologically, one can speak about many similar features uniting real and virtual spaces. We can assume the similarity of different types of transitivity (crisis and fluid) with different types of work in virtuality (on-line and off-line).Therefore, it is important to understand the styles of behavior, the emotions of people in a situation of different changes, different types of transitivity and different types of Internet communication. These questions became the base of the empirical study which was carried out in 2018-2019 years and consisted of two stages. The study involved young people, students of Moscow universities. The obtained results showed that in general in the on-linesituation the overall level of psychological well-being is lower than in an off-line situation. The similarities in the profiles obtained by presenting positive and negative words showed the similarity in emotional responses to crisis situations in the real and virtual world. Thus, we can say that the constant on-line situation becomes a difficult life situation for many young people. The transparency of the network most negatively affects people who assess the situation as rigid transitivity.
EVALUATING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF EXPOSURE TO COUNTERSTEREOTYPIC FATHERS ON REDUCING IMPLICIT FATHER AND MOTHER STEREOTYPES IN JAPAN
Authors:   Department of Politics and Public Administration, Faculty of Law, Yamanashi Gakuin University, Japan, Ohtaka Mizuka
Published: August 2021

Lai et al. (2014) compared 17 intervention effects on implicit racial prejudice and concluded that exposure to counterstereotypic exemplars was most effective. Therefore, this study examined whether exposure to counterstereotypic fathers can reduce the implicit stereotype that ‘fathers should work outside the home and mothers should keep the house’. The Go/No-Go Association Task (GNAT, Nosek & Banaji, 2001) was conducted among undergraduates (N=44; Men = 26, Women = 18). The results indicated that, among menparticipants in the control condition, more fathers than mothers implicitly associated with work, and more mothers implicitly associated with home; however, such differences were not significant among men participants in the counterstereotypic fathers condition. Thus, for men, exposure to counterstereotypic fathers can reduce the implicit father and mother stereotypes. Further research that can generalise the findings must be conducted.

Negative effects of globalization are visible in the most remote parts of our planet today including human life in the Arctic. The active development of the fuel and energy sector causing environmental problems limits the opportunities for traditional farming and creates a need to change the economic behavior strategies of the indigenous peoples of the North. The attitude to money among the Nenets was studied (N = 150) using the scale of monetary perceptions and behavior (Furnham, 1984). The results of the factor analysis have showed a more fractional structure than in Furnham's studies (1984, 2014) indicating a complex and ambiguous (more diverse) picture of the reflection of money in the economic mind of northern peoples (9 factors). The main trends in the monetary attitudes of the Nenets were identified. They donot put money first in their values, do not use them as a tool of influence on other people, they respect those who know how to save money and do not spend it in vain. At the same time, there is a place for financial anxiety and pessimism, negative feelings related to money. The results should be taken into account in the program for the transformation of the economic behavior of the northern indigenous peoples.
EMPLOYEE VOICE: MODERATORS AND PREDICTIVE FACTORS ENHANCING PROSOCIAL ORGANISATIONAL BEHAVIOUR IN EDUCATIONAL ENVIRONMENTS
Authors:   Adjunct Lecturer-Hellenic Open University, Greece, Papaloi Evangelia
Published: August 2021

Employee voice is a key-factor which fosters both personal and organisational development. However, in recent years, there is a concern sinceit appears that employees do not feel confident enough to speak out at work and hide their feelings and points. The scope of this research is to explore dimensions of organisational voice expressed by teachers at school, according to personal and contextual parametres. For our research purposes, 313 questionnaires were distributed to school teachers throughout Greece.The results revealthat teachers seem to express their own points and feelings actively and without fear. Moreover, they appear to vividly propose actions for the common good. Furthermore, it appears that there exists a strong relation between dimensions of voice, years in service, type of educational establishment and place of work while, gender does not affect the way teachers express themselves. We stress that, organisational voice as perceived and expressed in professional environments, constitutes an indicator and a valuable factor closely related to organisational effectiveness and development.

Practitioners working with gender non-conforming children and youth ascribe to general guidelines based on the World Professional Association for Transgender Health Standards of Care for the Health of Transsexual, Transgender, and Gender Nonconforming People (2012). These guidelines inform clinical practice and assessment and emphasize the need for gender affirming care, but they do not include strict treatment criteria. Consequently, there are multiple perspectives and approaches in the field regarding effective assessment and treatment of gender diverse and transgender clients. Given the ongoing debate around best practices, the current exploratory research study investigates the perspectives and satisfaction of transgender youth and their parents actively seeking out gender health assessments (e.g., hormone readiness assessments). Twenty-five parents and 22 youth who were accessing gender health services through a community outpatient clinic completed a questionnaire about the gender health assessment process. Survey data was analyzed using descriptive statistics, and portions analyzed using thematic analysis. Similar responsepatterns were found between groups and themes emerged surrounding the need for an individualized approach to care. This study aims to increase clinical understanding of the experiences of those seeking gender health assessment services to inform and improve practices to better serve this community.

The importanceof personal resources in the context of high demanding work conditions is often being reported. However, when and what type of personal resources are the beneficial ones is not fully understood. The aim of this study is to apply network analysis and explore closeness of relationships between personal resources, occupational stressors, perceived stress, the three areas of burnout, depressive symptoms and self-rated health in individuals working in high-risk professions. The study sample comprised 277 policeofficers, prison guards, customs officers and NHS physicians and nurses (68,6% men, Mage = 36.97, SDage = 8.98). Observed variables included perceived stress (PSS), occupational stressors (OSI-R ORQ) and personal resources (OSI-R PRQ), depressive symptoms(SDS), burnout (MBI) and self-rated health (item from SF-36). The network analysis (EBICglasso) was performed. Network analysis revealed that the most central (degree indicator) variables were depressive symptoms, stress, emotional exhaustion and particular occupational stressor-role ambiguity. These variables are potentially the most useful to be directed by intervention programs. Activating recreation, rational coping and social support could be potentially beneficial strategy in alleviating depressive symptoms. Recreational activities could protect health deterioration. Self-care strategies did not have a strong position in the network model.

Few studies have examined the impact of emotions on cognitive (not only academic) performance among adolescents and this is the objective of our research. After ethic committee agreement andparents’ authorization, we asked 158 adolescents in secondary schools to respond to the French version of Differential Emotion Scale adapted for school context and to nineteensyllogisms which evaluated cognitive nonacademic performances. As results, we expected that negative emotions related to academic achievement would reduce performance in reasoning and positive emotions would improve it. Our hypotheses were partially validated. The impacts of the results as well as perspectives of future researches in relation with self-esteem, psychological disengagement, dropping out of school were discussed.

Published: August 2021

In this study, 106 women (M age = 23 years) completed a series of questionnaires online assessing personality traits and facets (subscales), learning preferences (Activist, Reflector, Theorist, Pragmatist), and attitudes toward learning preferences.The vast majority of participants in this study believed that students are more likely to have academic success when teaching and learning strategies match their learning style. However, the results of several hierarchical regression analyses found that a large proportion of variance in learning style was accounted for by personality traits or facets. For example, 43% of the variance in the Activist Learning Style was accounted for by higher scores on Extraversion, and lower scores on Conscientiousness and Negative Emotionality. When personality facet scores were used as predictors, the proportion of variance jumped to 55%. Similarly, between 27-31% of the variance in Reflector, Theorist and Pragmatist Learning Style was accounted for by personality facet scores alone. The results are discussed in terms of learning style attitudes and myths pervasive in the literature, and the need for evidence-based practices.

Authors: Cikman Muzaffer Seyhan , Gun Ismet
Published: August 2021

Objective: In this study, we evaluated the effect of depression, anxiety, and stress on pain perception during colposcopy.

Material and methods: This study was performed at the gynecologic oncology department of Lutfi Kirdar Kartal Education and Research Hospital in Istanbul, Turkey between September 2017 and January 2018. After taking informed consent, Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-42) were completed by women who were attended outpatient colposcopy unit. Patients were classified into three groups according to DASS-42 (Group 1: patients without depression, anxiety or stress; Group 2: patients with one or two of depression, anxiety and stress; Group 3: patients with all of depression, anxiety and stress). Patient characteristics were also recorded. The degree of pain perception was evaluated visual analogue scale (VAS) at the end of the procedure. The p values less than 0.05 were considered statistically significant.

Results: A total of 116 women were enrolled into this study. There was no statistically significant difference between the groups in terms of age, gravidity, parity, number of gynecologic examination, waiting time, BMI, VAS, having a partner, came alone to clinic, level of education, employment, indication of procedure, number of biopsies, ECC presence (p>0.05). There was no difference between the subgroups in terms of VAS. There was negative correlation between groups and VAS (r=-0.195, p=0.036).

Conclusion: According to our findings, depression, anxiety and stress have no impact on pain perception during colposcopy but there is a weak correlation between the absence of depression, anxiety, stress and the pain score.

Published: August 2021

Recently, the identification and naming of fish species in underwater imagery processing has been in high demand. This is an essential activity for everyone, from biologists to scientists to fisherman. Humans' interests have recently expanded from the earth to the sky and the sea. Robots could be utilized to send mankind to explore the ocean and outer space, as well as for some dangerous professions that human beings are unlikely to perform. Humans have recently shifted their focus from land-based exploration to celestial exploration and the sea. Robots are used for the activities that pose a risk to mankind, like exploration of the seas and outer space. This research article provides a solution to underwater image detection techniques by using an appended transmission map, refinement method and deep learning approach. The features are deeply extracted by multi-scale CNN for attaining higher accuracy in detecting fish features from the input images with the help of segmentation process. Object recognition errors are minimized and it has been compared with other traditional processes. The overall performance metrics graph has been plotted for the proposed algorithm in the results and discussion section.

The concept of student-centered learning is based on the following provisions: student in the center of learning, emphasis on active rather than passive learning; emphasis on critical and analytical learning and understanding; interdependence of teacher and student; a reflective approach to the educational process on the part of both the teacher and the students. Student-centered learning requires an ongoing process of reflection (introspection and self-esteem). Teachers and students regularly review their teaching methods and assimilation of competence, thereby stimulating critical thinking and personal skills. Students are given the opportunity to control their own learning. They are given the opportunity to participate in the development of educational programs, academic disciplines and in their assessment. The point of student-centered learning is to create learning opportunities. The student-centered approach places a great responsibility on the student, encourages him to think, process materials, analyze and solve problems. Key words: student-centered learning, the concept of student-centered learning, principles and methods of student-centered learning, the system of expected learning outcomes, life skills and competencies

Published: August 2021

Mil-Aran Karabakh cadastral region includes Barda, Agjabadi, Beylagan, Tartar regions as a whole, Aghdam, Aghdara region and Khojavend plain lands. Gray-meadow, meadow-forest, subasar alluvial meadow, gray, meadow-swamp, chestnut, meadow-chestnut soils are spread in the territory of this cadastral region. Grass-gray soils are transitional and are distributed in the strip between the gray-brown (chestnut) and meadow gray-brown (chestnut) soils of the dry steppes and the gray soils growing in drier conditions. Very large areas of the described lands are used for irrigated agriculture. The subasar regime of rivers and the resulting fresh alluvial sediments play a key role in the formation of subasar meadow-forest soils. During the autumn season, especially during floods, the rhythm of soil formation is repeatedly disrupted. This, of course, is reflected in the properties and morphological structure of these soils. Areas with gray soils have an arid semi-desert and dry steppe climate with an average annual temperature of 13.5-14.60. The temperature of the hot months is much higher. Unlike subasar meadow-forest lands of our republic, subasar-meadow soils are formed under meadows and shrubs. Rich grasses play an important role in enriching these soils with organic matter and ash elements. Meadow-swamp lands are spread in a relatively limited area of the republic. These soils are usually formed in the low and lowlands of the relief. The ecological and geographical features of the meadow-brown soils are in many respects similar to those of the brown soils. However, hydrothermal conditions are distinguished by the large seasonal differences, additional moisture due to surface and ground moisture. Our area is subject to varying degrees of salinization and erosion. We know that saline soils are lands with salts that are easily soluble in water in a 2-meter layer of soil. The effect of groundwater on soil salinization also depends on the degree of mineralization of that water. In this case, the crisis rate of groundwater mineralization is taken. Key words: Groundwater, mineralization rate,salt accumulation, irrigated soils, drainage rate

Published: August 2021

The aim: To improve epidemiological monitoring of pertussis by analyzing the disease morbidity during 1995-2017 in Ukraine, to make a prognosis.
Materials and methods: Analysis of the pertussis morbidity during 1995-2017 using the data of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine. The cyclicity was determined by Fourier spectral analysis. The models of prognosis were constructed using polyharmonic regression and an exponential smoothing algorithm. Cartographic analysis and integrated indicators (multiyear index of the prevalence rate, mean square deviation, mean the multiyear pace of the gain in the prevalence rate) were used to determine the areas of risk. Summarized data were used to calculate the generalized coefficient.
Results: The pertussis morbidity cycle has 5 years intervals in Ukraine. The prognosis is for increasing the pertussis morbidity from 4.91-5.54 to 5.48-7.06 per 100.000 people. The generalized coefficient was significantly higher in western part (83.3%) than in central (50.0%) and eastern (16.6%) parts. The study showed that population reproduction rates, natural population increase, and the proportion of people against vaccination were higher in the western part than in other parts of the country.
Conclusions: The pertussis cyclicity depends on the internal mechanisms of interaction in the ecological system. There is a prognosis of worsening the epidemic situation of pertussis spreading. The risk area is the western part of Ukraine, which is characterized by active demographic processes and a greater number of people who are negative about vaccination.

Stimulating employees of an enterprise with an increase in wages can lead to an increase in labor productivity and to an increase in production costs, which can lead to a decrease in the competitiveness of products. To form an enterprise development strategy, it is necessary to assess the quality of human capital, on which the effectiveness of funds aimed at labor remuneration depends. The paper analyzes the production function of the enterprise, on the basis of which it is proposed to measure the quality of human capital by the coefficient of elasticity of labor. The low value of this indicator gives the basis for the activation of investments in the technological modernization of the enterprise.

The brain is one of the most important organs responsible for the health and functioning of the entire body. The blood supply to the brain is carried out through 2 internal carotid and 2 vertebral arteries in norm. The brain, like other body systems, has protective (compensatory) mechanisms aimed at maintaining the necessary blood flow, one of which is the circle of Willis. The article proposes a mechanism for how blood flow is redistributed through the arteries feeding the brain, which is based on the assumption that the central nervous system controls in such a way that it minimizes flows through the connective arteries of the circle of Willis, the flows along which are normal (with symmetry of the left and right sides) practically equal to zero. Сase of the structure of the circle of Willis is considered in norm. The indicated redistribution mechanism is still only the first step towards an attempt to predict cases of changes in blood flow through the cerebral arteries, especially in stroke. In further works, it is planned to consider the inverse problem, i.e. determine the flows through the internal carotid and vertebral arteries, provided that the flows through the cerebral arteries extending from the circle of Willis have normal flow values.

The development of heart failure under various pathological conditions such as myocardial infarction (MI), hypertension and diabetes are accompanied by adverse cardiac remodeling and cardiac dysfunction. Since heart function is mainly determined by coordinated activities of different subcellular organelles including sarcolemma, sarcoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria and myofibrils for regulating the intracellular concentration of Ca2+, it has been suggested that the occurrence of heart failure is a consequence of subcellular remodeling, metabolic alterations and Ca2+-handling abnormalities in cardiomyocytes. Because of the elevated plasma levels of angiotensin II (ANG II) due to activation of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) in heart failure, we have evaluated the effectiveness of treatments with angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and ANG II type 1 receptor (AT1R) antagonists in different experimental models of heart failure. Attenuation of marked alterations in subcellular activities, protein content and gene expression were associated with improvement in cardiac function in MI-induced heart failure by treatment with enalapril (an ACE inhibitor) or losartan (an AT1R antagonist). Similar beneficial effects of ANG II blockade on subcellular remodeling and cardiac performance were also observed in failing hearts due to pressure overload, volume overload or chronic diabetes. Treatments with enalapril and losartan were seen to reduce the degree of RAS activation as well as the level of oxidative stress in failing hearts. These observations provide evidence which further substantiate to support the view that activation of RAS and high level of plasma ANG II play a critical role in inducing subcellular defects and cardiac dys-function during the progression of heart failure.

Optimized Proportional Integral Derivative controllers are designed to control the translational and rotational motions of a quadrotor system with six degrees of freedom. The teaching learning based optimization algorithm is used to obtain the proportional, integral and derivative gains of six PID controllers so that the integral time absolute error criterion is minimized. The control objective, is to enforce the horizontal position, altitude and yaw angle of the quadrotor to track their desired reference trajectories while stabilizing its roll and pitch angles. The efficiency and the control performance of the proposed scheme are demonstrated through numerical simulation and compared with those of the PID controllers designed using genetic algorithm, the sliding mode control and other control techniques proposed in the literature. The simulation study shows the good performance of the proposed control scheme in terms of transient response characteristics, tracking accuracy and disturbance rejection.
Evaluation of Variable Parameter MCV Control Chart in Downward Process Shifts
Authors: Chew Xinying
Published: August 2021

Previous studies revealed that the coefficient of variation (CV) is important in ensuring process quality, especially for monitoring a process where its process mean and variance are highly correlated. The fact that almost all industrial process monitoring involves a minimum of two or more related quality characteristics being monitored simultaneously. The existing adaptive charts for monitoring the multivariate CV are focused on detecting upward process shifts. The downward process monitoring is crucial since it shows process improvement. Very little research works are available on the downward adaptive multivariate CV chart. This makes it difficult for the quality engineer who wishes to implement the adaptive multivariate CV chart on the downward process monitoring. Therefore, this paper filled the research gap by proposing a downward variable parameter chart for the multivariate coefficient of variation. The performance measures of the proposed charts are derived based on the Markov-chain approach. Numerical comparisons between the proposed and existing charts have been made, in terms of the average time to signal criterion. The findings reveal that the proposed charts outperform the existing charts for detecting small and moderate downward process shifts

In this article, a compact ultra-wide band (UWB) multiple input multiple output (MIMO) antenna system is showed. This antenna is based on fractal Fibonacci circles and operates over wide frequency range from 2.9 to 14.51 GHz. The dielectric used was Duroid substrate with dielectric constant εr = 2.2 and thickness of substrate 1.27 mm. This UWB MIMO antenna is simulated by HFSS. In order to improve the isolation between the elements of the antenna a parasitic structure is used, getting S12 and very low ECC. Also, the Total Active reflection Coefficient (TARC) was obtained. Proposed antenna can be used for UWB communication applications and its size is 64 × 38mm2

The problem of infectious endocarditis currently deserves special attention. According to the data, intrahospital mortality caused by this pathology reaches 20%, which is largely due to the development of potential complications, the most common among which are the development and progression of heart failure, as well as thromboembolic manifestations with the damage to target organs of various localization. The article presents the results of a multicenter study establishing the features of antimicrobial therapy in patients with infectious endocarditis under the conditions of the dominance of gram-positive microorganisms in the etiological structure in the Russian Federation. 440 cases of deﬁnite and probable infectious endocarditis in the period from September 2006 to December 2020 were analyzed.
