Gist more than non-gist representation interferes with associative memory in older adults: The role of inhibitory function
Authors: Xu Jiajie
Published: July 2024

Associative memory deteriorates with age. One possible reason for this associative memory deficit in older adults is a deterioration in inhibitory function. However, it remains unclear whether gist representations are more likely to interfere with older adults' associative memory than non-gist representations and what role of inhibitory function plays in age-related associative memory deficits, as well as whether and how acute inhibitory function training could ameliorate the detrimental effects of inhibitory deficits on associative memory in older adults. In Experiment 1, 80 participants (40 younger and 40 older adults) studied scene-word pairs while attempting to inhibit interfering words during encoding. An immediate associative recognition memory test was performed, followed by a modified Stroop task to measure the inhibitory function. Experiment 2 included 66 older adults randomly assigned to either an inhibitory function acute-training or a control group. The Flanker task was employed for acute inhibitory function intervention, and eye-tracking technology was used to record eye movement indicators. The results showed that older adults showed more gist memory under gist representation interference, and inhibitory function mediated the relationship between age and associative memory accuracy. Notably, although acute inhibitory training did not improve associative memory accuracy, the older adults in the acute-training group exhibited shorter fixation durations and frequencies within the interference region, and then made less inaccurate response in associative memory recognition, leading to better associative memory. These findings elucidate that gist representation more than non-gist interferes with associative memory in older adults, and inhibitory deficits play a mediation role in age-related associative memory decline, as well as the feasibility of inhibitory training to improve associative memory. Our study provides direction for clinical interventions targeting associative memory improvement.
The influence of perpetrator personality pathology on perceptions of relational stalking: Conference presentation
Authors: Vaughan Alfred , Duff Simon , Paddock Elizabeth
Published: July 2024

Misperceptions of stalking have the potential to prevent victims and support structures from identifying and intervening in stalking victimisation. Perpetrator personality pathology is a pertinent factor within stalking victimisation, yet remains unexamined within stalking perception literature. The present study examined the influence of perpetrator personality pathology on perceptions of relational stalking in a sample of 549 adult members of the public recruited through volunteer sampling (75.8% female). Participants read one of six accounts of a hypothetical stalking incident. Five accounts described distinct perpetrator personality pathology concordant with one of the five ICD-11 personality disorder ‘trait domain qualifiers’; one control condition did not describe the perpetrator’s personality. Perceptions of the hypothetical stalking incident were measured across seven Likert-scale questions. Stalking behaviour was perceived to be most serious when the perpetrator exhibited traits of dissociality, and least serious when the perpetrator exhibited traits of detachment. The perpetrator was most likely to be perceived as experiencing mental health and personality difficulties when exhibiting traits of negative affectivity. The perpetrator was least likely to be perceived as experiencing mental health difficulties when presenting with traits of disinhibition, and least likely to be perceived as experiencing personality difficulties when no personality description was included. The research findings highlight the potential for perpetrator personality pathology to differentially bias public perceptions of stalking behaviour. This has implications for efforts to improve the recognition and provision of support for stalking victimisation, and for future research concerning perceptions of stalking. N.b., this research output was originally presented at the British Psychological Society's Division of Forensic Psychology Annual Conference 2024 on 3 July 2024.
The Overlap of Disordered Eating, Autism and ADHD: Future Research Priorities as Identified by Adults with Lived Experience
Authors: Keller Johanna , Herle Moritz , Mandy William , Carter Leno Virginia Madeleine
Published: July 2024

The focus of mental health research in emerging fields should be driven by the priorities of people with lived experience. Autism and ADHD are childhood-onset neurodevelopmental conditions that are associated with a range of negative outcomes, including increased risk for eating disorders. The evidence base for how best to support neurodivergent individuals who experience disordered eating is still in its infancy, but research suggest existing clinical approaches are not currently fit for purpose. In this Position Paper, through community consultation with autistic people and people with ADHD who have experienced disordered eating, we present a comprehensive ranked list of research topics that those with lived experience prioritise. These priorities could be clustered into two overarching areas: ‘Improving Outcomes’ and ‘Identifying Causal Mechanisms’. Within the Improving Outcomes theme, topics focused on improving treatment, the need for neurodiversity training in clinical services and the identification and minimization of unintended adverse effects of psychological intervention. Within the Identifying Causal Mechanisms theme, topics focused on the identification of risk factors and better understanding of the impact of autistic/ADHD neurocognitive profiles as potential contributors to eating disorder vulnerability. The final Top 10 Research Priorities are contextualized, in terms of how they compare to the existing literature on the overlap between autism/ADHD and eating disorders, and concrete suggestions are given for how to implement these research priorities as testable hypotheses. Research informed by these priorities will build necessary understanding of the reasons behind the increased risk for eating disorders in neurodivergent people, and how to best support those affected to live positive and fulfilling lives

Fishery resources in Indonesia, especially in the waters of the Western part of North Sumatra, are closely related to the oceanographic dynamics. Knowledge is needed about the conditions of Marine Eco-Climatology in fishing areas rich in fishery resources. This research was conducted in January-April 2021 at the Sibolga Archipelago Fisheries Port, Sibolga Fisheries and Marine Resources Supervisory Post, and College of Fisheries and Marine Science in Pandan Central Tapanuli. The research method was a survey method with a simple regression statistical test. Based on the results of this study, it was slowed that the air temperature in Sibolga City from 2010-2019 ranged between 23-28?C and was categorized as normal. The rainfall in Sibolga City in 2010-2019 ranged from 100-600 mm per month, and the wind speed value was 6-12 knots. The effect of these parameters on the catch showed a weak status. It was known that the best time to carry out the fishing is at average temperatures of 24-27?C, rainfall less than 3000 m3 /day, and wind speeds of 6-8 knots.

Published: July 2024

Several forest fires occur in forests of Nepal causing loss of life and property, that is visible, but the loss of forest’s health has always been in shade. It is essential to determine the ecological health of fire-affected forests to save them from degradation. This study has assessed the status of soil properties (soil pH and moisture), regeneration and phytosociological parameters of burnt and unburnt sites in Chuliban Community Forest, Dhankuta. Burnt and unburnt sites were identified by site survey, and simple random sampling was adopted for forest and soil sampling. There was a significant difference between soil pH and moisture values in burnt and unburnt sites (p=0.029 for soil pH and p=0.002 for soil moisture). Both sites dominated by Pinus roxburghii showed fair regeneration as a whole, however the burnt site recorded no seedlings of Pinus roxburghii while the unburnt site recorded 208 seedlings of it. Soil moisture was positively correlated with number of seedlings (r=0.203, p=0.01) whereas the correlation of soil pH and number of seedlings was moderately positive (r=0.013, p=0.54). Burnt and unburnt sites had Shannon Diversity Index 3.12±0.18 and 0±0, and Simpson’s Diversity Index 0.34±0.08 and 1±0 respectively. Though burnt site recorded higher diversity, the tree density was low as a result of chopping of dried and injured trees affected by forest fire. Overall, the results showed that soil properties, regeneration and phytosociological parameters were altered due to frequent forest fires at burnt sites, and the site is in need of special attention and restoration programs.

Published: July 2024

Carbonaceous aerosols consist of a bulky but highly variable mass of atmospheric aerosols, mostly comprised of Organic Carbon (OC) and Elemental Carbon (EC). OC is emitted directly into the atmosphere or formed secondarily from the photo-oxidation process that condensed semi- or non-volatile compounds and polymerizes organic species in the atmosphere. EC mainly originate from incomplete combustion of biomass and fossil fuels, and have an instantaneous consequence on radiative forcing effect on regional climate. This study was carried out in Dhulikhel Municipality to determine the potential sources and seasonal pathways of carbonaceous aerosols (OC and EC) transporting to receptor site by measurement and modeling approaches. The 72 samples were collected (24-hrs) over a year (January-December 2018) using a medium volume air sampler. The minimum and maximum concentrations of Total Suspended Particulate ranged from 38.00 µg/m3 to 442.45 µg/m3. The annual average OC/EC ratio 2.73 ±0.84 indicates the presence of Secondary Organic Aerosols and other major sources of carbonaceous aerosols including biomass burning, vehicular emission, and coal combustion. Hybrid-Single-Particle Lagrangian Integrated Trajectory (HYSPLIT) air-mass back trajectory analysis integrated with meteorological fields was used to identify the potential sources and their atmospheric transport pathway. The back trajectories of the 96-hrs period were plotted at 6-hrs intervals starting from a single observation location at Dhulikhel. The back trajectories were clustered into four distinct seasons to trace temporal variation in the atmospheric aerosols during the study period. The results from the HYSPLIT revealed that the sources of particulate pollutants reaching Dhulikhel are local as well as of regional origin and are mostly transported from the Middle East and South Asian countries like India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt

Published: July 2024

Concerns about expiry date and the purity of sachet water sometimes become evident after it has been stored for a long period. This study aimed at assessing the effects of storage duration on physicochemical and microbial parameters of some selected sachet water sold in Biu Local Government Area of Borno State, Nigeria. Four different sachet waters were sampled (A B C and D), for their physicochemical and microbial parameters using laboratory analysis by standard analytical procedures to ascertain the storage duration variation and the level of compliance with the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) and World Health Organization (WHO) standards specification for drinking water. The results reveal that most of the parameters such as pH, turbidity, total dissolved solids, nitrate, dissolved oxygen, manganese, iron, salinity, total hardness and alkalinity, within 24 hours, 1 month, and 2 months of production vary and, has meet levels of standards that is set by the WHO and NAFDAC, except few parameters. Only phosphate exceeded the standards within 24 hours, 1 month, and 2 months of production, but for microbial, all the parameters for each sample A, B, C, and D and storage duration within 24 hours, 1 month, and 2 months of production has a wider increase respectively, and they exceeded the levels of standards set by WHO and NAFDAC. The increase in microbial counts over time suggests deterioration in water quality during storage, highlighting the need for improved sanitation practices, stricter quality control measures, and regular monitoring to ensure safety of sachet water throughout its shelf life.
Role of International Relations to Solve Environmental Issues: An Emerging Discourse
Authors: Sharma Lila Prasad
Published: July 2024

Environmental issues and international relations are increasingly interconnected as global ecological challenges—such as climate change, deforestation, and pollution— transcend national borders, demanding collaborative efforts among nations. These environmental problems can influence diplomatic agendas, trade policies, and international treaties, often leading to new alliances or irritating tensions. Multilateral agreements like the Paris Agreement signify how countries work together to address environmental concerns, reflecting the critical role of diplomacy in fostering global sustainability and managing shared resources. Consequently, environmental issues have become a central aspect of international relations, shaping both policy and geopolitical dynamics. International relations are crucial for addressing environmental issues because these problems transcend national borders and require coordinated global responses. Effective international cooperation enables the sharing of resources, knowledge, and technologies necessary to tackle challenges like climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution. Through treaties, agreements, and collaborative frameworks, countries can establish common goals, enforce environmental standards, and mobilize collective action, ensuring that efforts to protect the environment are consistent and impactful on a global scale.
On the Inversion and Dimension Pairs of Row-Strict Tableaux
Authors: Olasupo Felemu , Patience Adetunji
Published: July 2024

In this article, we consider two algorithms, dimension and inversion pairs of rows-strict, used for the computation of Betti numbers of Springer varieties and then show that the sequences respectively generated by these algorithms are dual to each other, (except for λ = 1n where Ik = Dk) and that the sum Ik + Dk gives another sequence which is palindromic. We also show that for each row-strict tableau τ of shape λ = n − r, 1r (0 ≤ r ≤ n − 1), the dimension of the corresponding Springer varieties equals the cardinality of the union of the set of inversions and dimensions of τ. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of the rich combinatorial landscape of tableaux, opening up new avenues for further research.

Formation of non-linguistic competencies in teaching latin
Authors: Sivkina Natalya Yuryevna , Vashcheva Irina Yurevna
Published: July 2024

The methodology of teaching Latin has undergone significant changes in recent years, and traditional approaches do not produce high-quality results. Therefore, the search for new effective methods of teaching this discipline becomes relevant. The teaching of the ancient language at a non-linguistic university should form competencies among students related not only to the expansion of their philological horizons, but also those that will be useful in the future profession. The current methodology for teaching the ancient language is based on the traditional structural approach and does not correspond to the new tasks of learning. Students do not understand the importance of this discipline in the formation of non-linguistic competencies. The main general scientific methods of this research are analysis and synthesis, as well as the comparative method. The practical part was carried out using the survey method. As a result of the study, the authors believe that the emphasis in teaching should be shifted to the wider use of algorithms, exercises, trainings in order to make the learning process more active. A new textbook that meets the requirements of time and psychological characteristics of students must also comply with the new methodology focused on a competency approach in higher education.
The place of biblionyms in the onomastic space
Authors: Markova Maria Aleksandrovna
Published: July 2024

The work is devoted to the study of biblionyms as one of the most important components of onomastics. It examines the biblionymy of Chuvash, Russian and English fiction using the methods of continuous sampling, systematization and classification of material, descriptive-analytical and comparative approaches. At the moment, biblionyms have not been studied enough. At the same time, their study is relevant and significant, since the title can be the key to understanding the text. This work is intended to clarify the interpretation of the term “biblionym”. At the same time, the author examines the functions of biblionyms, their classification, and identifies the place of titles in the system of onomastic terminology of the languages under study, which in the future should contribute to the development of the general theory of onomastics. The author of the work suggests using the term “biblionym” to understand the name of any text. At the same time, from his point of view, there is a need to introduce into onomastic studies such terms as “microbiblionym” for the names of chapters, paragraphs and constituent parts of the text and “macrobiblionim” for the names of collections of texts. By its position, a biblionym is a means of connecting the text with the outside world, in particular with the reader. Based on the biblionym, the reader will be able to form an idea of the content of the text.
Tools for developing the life building competence of high students in the educational environment of school
Authors: Olkhova Yulia Vladimirovna
Published: July 2024

The article presents the life-building competence of high school students as a guideline for building an age-oriented educational environment at a school. The category of life-building competence is introduced within the framework of the existential approach in psychology, designating a high school student as the subject of his own life path, the author of a life strategy, which in a specific life situation is presented as the development and implementation of a life plan. Life-building competence is understood as an integral property of an individual, characterizing the desire and ability to realize one’s potential (knowledge, skills, experience, personal qualities, etc.) for the responsible creation and implementation of life plans. Based on the analysis of the components of competence of various authors, the components of competence and their diagnostics are considered: motivational, cognitive, value-semantic, emotional-volitional, operational, reflexive, proactive. The article provides characteristics of high, medium and low levels of development of life-building competence of high school students and the percentage of subjects with the corresponding level. For each component of competence, the personal qualities that ensure its development are noted, and specific tools used in the educational environment of the school are given.
Ritual functions of clothing in the memorial rites of the Chuvashs
Authors: Petrov Igor Georgievich
Published: July 2024

Clothes perform many functions functions. One of them is the ritual function, according to which it becomes an important tool or object of various magical practices. In this article, using the example of the сhuvashs of the Volga-Ural region, the functions of the deceased’s clothes in the customs and rituals of the memorial cycle are considered. On separate thematic blocks, the role of clothing as a ritual item at large commemorations, at the fortieth day commemoration, as well as at general summer commemorations was investigated. The article is based on published works on the history and ethnography of the chuvashs of the 19th – early 20th centuries, archival sources, as well as field materials of the author collected in different years in the Republic of Bashkortostan and the Republic of Tatarstan. It has been revealed that in the funeral rites, clothes appear and are actively used as a substitute for the deceased, as well as an offering addressed to the deceased on behalf of living relatives. Thanks to these qualities, clothing is one of the important and universal means of communication between the world of the living and the world of the dead. Rites with clothes in memorial rites have been preserved and exist in modern ritual practice. Such stability, on the one hand, is due to the deep archaic and conservative funeral rite as a whole, on the other hand, the comparative stability of this ritual to modern innovations.

Published: July 2024

The article reveals the essence and content of the concepts of "moral stability", "moral instability", "variability", forms, methods, and means of formation of moral stability in adolescents. Moral stability is not an innate quality of personality, it is formed by means of purposeful educational work. The core of formation of moral stability in adolescents is internalization, i.e. the transformation of moral requirements of society, moral principles into internal attitudes, personal beliefs of each student. The educational process is based on the principles of science, historicism, humanity, the relationship of socio-cultural and educational values, taking into account the age and individual characteristics of students. The article presents a generalized experience of Chuvashia schools in the formation of moral stability in adolescents (secondary schools No. 10, 40, 53, 62 Cheboksary, Secondary school No. 2 Alatyr, secondary school No. 3 Kanash). The study revealed a number of pedagogical conditions that make it possible to successfully form moral stability in adolescents.
Psychology of personal choice and love in the postmodern societ
Authors: Dyshlevyi Illia
Published: July 2024

The relationship between personal choice and love is highly controversial in the postmodern society. Belief in «eternal» love and its narratives are considered naïve in the public discourse of the postmodern society. In the foreground there are temporal and momentary, sexual pleasures and short-termed love affairs that contradict the content of true love. In the postmodern society so-called free relationships become popular, they do not assume the loyalty of partners to each other.  Genuine romantic (intimate) love is the feeling and state of devotion of one person to another, respect for human dignity of the loved one, acceptance of his or her being, constant care of partners for each other, mutual understanding and sense of duty of a person in the relations with a partner. True love also implies tolerance towards love relations among members of socially vulnerable groups of a society. The desire for true love is the most important manifestation of eudemonism in a human outlook.
      The psychology of personal choice regarding love is greatly simplified in the postmodern society. Hedonism (the pursuit of various pleasures) and epicureism (the craving for momentary delights) have actually replaced the notion of love. This is reflected in the image and lifestyle of many people. In the public discourse of the postmodern society these patterns of love are articulated, and true love is discribed in the narratives of intellectuals and actively reflexing people.
In the modern Ukraine, the social and psychological well-being of socially vulnerable groups is quite complicated, as social stigmatization and discrimination towards members of these groups persist. Personal choice regarding love among members of socially vulnerable groups is extremely difficult in the modern Ukrainian society, since the realization of the right to be happy in this social environment is not simple.  The main axis of the psychology of personal choice regarding love in the postmodern society is the adoption of an existential decision – to search for a companion of the whole life and to be monogamous, or to be polygamous and polyamorous, practicing many intimate relationships with different partners. The choice of a person in favor of the love for the whole life is very rare in the postmodern society, because its value for people is mainly lost in the course of socialization and social development.

Authors: Hulbs Olha , Lantukh Valerii
Published: July 2024

The problem of categorical structure of teachers’ professional consciousness is examined in the article. The concept of categorical structure of teachers’ professional consciousness is described and its model has been worked out. The problem of teachers’ professional consciousness and its structure has been revealed. The following components of the development of professional consciousness have been introduced: cognitive (it is the process of the reflection of professionally pedagogical realities and cognition of profession by a teacher, awareness of himself in the profession and development of professional qualities necessary for realization of his professionally pedagogical activity), emotionally volitional (represents the relation of the subject to teacher’s professional activity, to himself as a specialist or to certain professionally meaningful qualities of his personality and the activity concerning his needs and motives); motivational valued (it is adjusting of the conduct and activity of a teacher in accordance with pedagogical norms, determining the possibility of self-regulation of his conduct, ability to accept independent decisions, to manage and control his conduct), communicative (represents the typical method of his attitude toward other people in social life and in the end to himself, serves as the major indicator of internal prosperity of teacher’s personality and safety of the educational environment for all subjects of social interaction; psychological (it is the manner of communication and co-operation of subjects of the educational process and features of their communicative moral and ethical conduct), self-relation (positive attitude toward other people, to himself, self-esteem, self-interest, confidence in himself, self-understanding), innovative reflection (awareness of the contradiction in professional activity, control of the process of construction and verification of innovations, introspection, self-control). These are basic components which influence the development of categorical structure of teachers’ professional consciousness which are acute for modern higher school.
Study of the state of active recreation of young people: social and psychological aspects
Authors: Kokun Oleg , Shvets Vladyslava
Published: July 2024

The article provides a comparative analysis of the needs of young people in Cherkasy region for active recreation. The purpose of the article is to actualize the influence of genetics on the active recreation of young people with a history of physical inactivity. The purpose of the article is to emphasize the influence of an individual's understanding on activity, to focus on the relationship between activity and personal development, and to spread the idea of the need for movement for the development of the intellectual potential of humanity and the economic development of the country.
The article is based on a sociological survey conducted by Cedos, an independent think tank that has been working on social development issues since 2010. The issue was studied in scientific and popular publications. The author puts forward a thesis about the interconnection of history and the needs of an individual on the development of active recreation in the region. Assumptions are made about the forecast of interest of children and youth in the next generations in active recreation and strengthening of mutual relations in the family through active activities. It is concluded that the creation of locations in different regions of the country will create a map of activities that will affect the logistics, competitiveness of the region, the restoration of the internal resource of the older generation and the preservation of family values. Restoring family histories and memories that were caused by activity is the basis for life, preserving life expectancy and developing the creative potential of young people, because the memories of mothers and fathers, grandparents can influence a child's worldview, strengthen their faith in their own capabilities, and inspire discovery. Social and marketing programs based on analytical, historical, and statistical data can strengthen the economic capacity of the region, create conditions for the child to feel supported by the state and small or medium-sized businesses, influence the relationship between producers and service providers in the regions of the country, strengthening each segment, and create conditions for competitive cultural and social development products.

Authors: Komar Taisiia , Gorenko Mariana
Published: July 2024

The article examines the issues of key aspects defining the psychological readiness of psychology students for providing counseling. The readiness of future psychologists for consultative activities in the conditions of war in the country is a highly relevant and significant matter, especially in the context of modern geopolitical realities. The increase in the number of conflicts and tension on the international stage, coupled with the war in Ukraine, demands a high level of preparedness and competence from psychology professionals to provide effective psychological support. In times of war, psychologists face a range of challenges that require specific knowledge and skills. The sample consisted of 40 individuals, psychology students at Pavlo Tychyna Uman State Pedagogical University, specializing in Psychology (053). The methodologies used included the «Personality Maturity Questionnaire» by Y. Gilbukh and surveys conducted through Google Forms.
Yuriy Gilbukh’s methodology is focused on studying various aspects of personal maturity, including achievement motivation, self-perception, sense of civic duty, life orientation, and the ability to establish psychological closeness with others. The test results can assist in determining the level of development of key personal qualities crucial for successful counseling activities.
The respondents were asked the question «What fears and doubts prevent you from feeling ready for counseling activities right now?» through Google Forms, and they provided the following responses: «fear of making mistakes», «inability to control emotions», «lack of practice», «thinking I need to improve my knowledge», «doubt that I can help the client», «lack of knowledge regarding organizing counseling sessions», «lack of self-confidence», «fear of doing something wrong», «inability to interact with unfamiliar people», «difficulty applying theoretical knowledge in practice».
