Authors: Jabłońska Joanna , Pietraś Aleksandra , Partycka-Pietrzyk Kornela , Mielnik-Niedzielska Grażyna
Published: December 2022

Introduction

Tympanic membrane perforation (TMP) may be caused by several factors but commonly leads to conductive hearing loss. This study aims to characterize the profiles of hearing loss in pediatric patients with TMPs.

Material and methods

A retrospective analysis of the medical charts of 27 patients was conducted. Otoscopy of the TM was done and pure tone audiometry was used to assess hearing loss. Cluster analysis was applied to evaluate the profiles of hearing loss and to find possible relations between profiles of hearing loss and the location of the perforation on the TM.

Results

Cluster analysis revealed three types of hearing loss. The mean hearing loss in cluster 1 (6 cases) was above 30 dB, mainly as the result
of perforation after chronic otitis media. Hearing loss in clusters 2 (9 cases) and 3 (12 cases) was less than 30 dB. In cluster 2 the perforation was mostly located in the posterior quadrants, while in cluster 3 it was most commonly in the inferior quadrants. In clusters 2 and 3, perforation was usually caused by slap of the open hand, injury, or past ventilation tube.

Conclusions

Three different profiles (clusters) of hearing loss resulting from TMP were identified. Force of injury, etiology of the injury, and inflammation produce different sizes of perforations. Conductive hearing loss increases with perforation size and is independent of TM location. In general, hearing loss classification methods have the potential to improve diagnostic procedures, surgery, and rehabilitation of patients with TMPs.

Published: December 2022

Introduction

In 2017, the first adhesive bone conduction device (aBCD) was introduced. Since then, clinical studies have extensively compared adhesive bone conduction devices to conventional bone conduction systems on softbands. The aim of this study is to evaluate the audiological and subjective outcomes of patients suffering from conductive hearing loss (CHL) who used an aBCD for a trial period, comparing outcomes with their existing passive transcutaneous bone conduction implants (ptBCI), which was either the Sophono Alpha or the BAHA Attract.

Material and methods

This prospective study included 14 congenital aural atresia patients between 7 and 16 years old. Participants had been ptBCI users for at least 2 years and had bone conduction thresholds ≤ 25 dB HL. The aBCD trial was for 1 week. Average pure tone thresholds
(PTA4) and word recognition scores (WRS) with disyllabic words at 65 dB SPL in quiet and in noise were measured for each device. Subjective outcomes were recorded using the aBCD mini questionnaire and the SSQ questionnaire for hearing satisfaction, which were filled in by parents.

Results

We analyzed 16 ears. The mean sound field PTA4 was 52 dB HL unaided, 27 dB HL ptBCI-aided and 29 dB HL aBCD-aided. Mean WRS in quiet was 96% with ptBCI and 95% with BCD. In noise (+5 dB SNR) the mean WRS was 70% with ptBCI and 77% with aBCD. A questionnaire revealed easy handling and good acceptance of the aBCD.

Conclusions

In this group of patients, comparable audiological and subjective satisfaction results were achieved with a non-implantable adhesive bone conduction device. Despite differences in handling, the adhesive BCD presents itself as an alternative to transcutaneous bone
conduction implants.

Gifted children are unique in their parents, societies, and countries. All the services offered to them, including education, are critical. Therefore, specific plans are being prepared; considerable expenditures are made for their future. Science, and art centers (SACs), as one of the facilities established within this scope, have a unique place in the education of gifted children. These institutions are challenged by various infrastructural, managerial, and political difficulties. One of these is equity problems. In the current research, the equity problems experienced by gifted children during their education in SACs were discussed through the views of parents. Phenomenology, a qualitative research technique, was employed in the research. In this context, 15 parents whose gifted children were educated at a SAC in Elbistan district in Kahramanmaras province in Turkiye were interviewed. During the analysis, qualitative research software called MAXQDA 2020 was used. According to the findings, all participants are generally satisfied with the approach of SACs. However, gifted children experience various learning losses due to the pandemic, time, transportation challenges, and educational policies. The losses mentioned above also cause some equity problems. In other words, the educational services provided by the SAC discussed in the present research pose various issues in terms of equity. Participants think these problems will be solved by referring to individual education programs, coaching, parental education, and managerial expertise. However, the study's results make it possible to make inferences from different perspectives. It also includes suggestions for policy-makers, researchers, and practitioners.

Published: December 2022

Based on the analysis of theoretical sources and the legislative framework, the factors influencing the financial support of military personnel are proposed. Four groups of factors affecting the financial support of military personnel are identified, namely: a) military, b) political, c) economic and d) social. These groups of factors are interconnected and based on them, the system of monetary support for military personnel is formed. However, at different times and under different conditions, a certain factor is dominant. Motives for military service in the Armed Forces of Ukraine were analyzed, and three groups of motives were identified, namely: a) professional, b) emotional, and c) material. These groups of motives are not mutually exclusive. Financial support for military personnel is state-guaranteed funds that stimulate qualified military personnel. It is determined depending on the position, military rank, duration, intensity, conditions of military service, qualifications and other factors. The influence of the financial support of military personnel on the effectiveness of their performance of official duties is substantiated. In modern conditions, the financial support of military personnel is one of the factors of ensuring the state sovereignty of Ukraine, as it has a positive effect on the number of military personnel, the effectiveness of the service of military personnel who directly or indirectly participate in the protection and defense of the country. Further research will be aimed at the further study of the financial support of military personnel, the study of the effectiveness of the existing system of financial support of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the development of recommendations regarding the new system of remuneration of military personnel in order to achieve the goals of the financial support of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Criminology characteristics and prevention suicide among military servants
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Karelin V.
Published: December 2022

Suicide is a phenomenon inherent in both developed countries and countries with a low socio-economic standard of living. The causes of all suicides are mostly socio-psychological in nature. That is why, in our opinion, it is necessary to start investigating suicide from the understanding of a person's mental state, his inner worldview, and not from the act of suicide. Suicide has no age. The key factors leading to suicide are considered psychological, since suicide is a psychological phenomenon. The rest of the factors act indirectly, through the emotional experiences and motivation of a person. According to the official data of the World Health Organization, reflected in the mass media, annually in the world more than 800,000 people take their own lives, which means that every 40 seconds at least one person commits suicide, another two million people make unsuccessful attempts kill yourself. In general, in the modern world, suicide is one of the most common causes of death, second only to death due to aging, serious diseases and external causes (road accidents, accidents, intentional homicides and bodily injuries, etc.). Since the Armed Forces of Ukraine are an integral part of society and that is why, especially during hostilities, general negative processes and influences also affect their personnel. Therefore, it should be noted that the problems of suicidal behaviour, unfortunately, are also relevant for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The interaction of several risk factors "leads to suicide, among which is a crisis situation that, due to individual characteristics, a veteran (fighter) cannot cope with on his own. Sometimes the decision to die is a response to a hopeless situation: the impossibility of changing it, although it changes a person psychologically, and even physically (injury, etc.). The loss of a "significant object" (for example, a sibling) can "trigger" depression, suicidal moods and actions. During the period of experiencing and overcoming a difficult crisis, military personnel and veterans need psychological support and, if necessary, inpatient treatment. No less important is the support of relatives and friends, as well as the whole society. In war, everything is simple – there is an enemy, there is you, and behind you are native Ukrainian lands, millions of people. You clearly know your tasks and responsibilities. After returning from the front, soldiers are faced at all levels with indifference, misunderstanding, disrespect, and sometimes rude attitude, which leaves scars in their wounded souls and hearts. Resentment, anger, misunderstanding and indifference of the environment, constant pain in the soul and body takes over the mind and the moment comes when everything, even life, has no meaning.

The receiving model of the own soil radiothermal radiation by a bipolarized microwave radiometer when remote sensing the soil moisture from an unmanned aerial vehicle on low altitude is considered. The simulation is carried out taking into account the receiving antenna pattern with side lobes. The height, speed of the carrier and the main lobe axis angle are taken into account. The main parameters of the microwave radiometer for remote determination of portraits of moistened soils are given. The Earth's surface is modeled by a two-dimensional distribution function of the soil permittivity on the thickness of the near-surface layer and a deeper layer with a different permittivity value. The two-dimensional permittivity distribution function represents as "checkerboard" with a periodic change in the permittivity of the soil by "cells". Both the proper radiothermal radiation of the soil and the relict sky radiation of the celestial sphere, re-reflected by the earth's surface, are taken into account. The perspective of using the simulation results to optimize the parameters of the radiometer and remote sensing system according to the criterion of maximum sensitivity of the system to variations in soil moisture content is analyzed.

Authors: MR Amrutha , H Shruthi , MRS Chandra , N Chaitra , UN Shobha , RNJ Vaishnavi
Published: December 2022

Background: Infertility is a global health problem. Cyclical histological changes in the endometrium reflect the fluctuating hormone levels and enables histological appearance of endometrium to be a reliable parameter to evaluate the cause of infertility. The aim was to study histomorphological patterns of endometrial tissue in cases of infertility. Materials and methods: A cross sectional study on 250 endometrial samples of infertile women both primary and secondary was carried out to find the histomorphological patterns of endometrium in infertile women. Results: 250 endometrial biopsies of patients presenting with infertility were studied. The age ranged from 20 to 45 years, with mean age of 31.47+3.15 years. Majority of the cases were of primary infertility 165 cases (66%) and secondary infertility 85 cases (34%). The various patterns include proliferative phase 76 cases (30.4%), early secretory phase 15 cases (6%), mid secretory phase 15 cases (6%) and late secretory phase 36 cases (14.4%), endometrial polyp 40 cases (16%), endometrial hyperplasia without atypia 52 cases (20.8%), atypical endometrial hyperplasia 2 cases (0.8%), nonspecific endometritis 12 cases (4.8%) and tuberculous endometritis 2 cases (0.8%). Conclusion: Endometrial biopsies provide an insight into the hormonal response of endometrium as well as the local factors of endometrium. Hence the histological examination of endometrial biopsy is the most confirmatory tool for the diagnosis of infertility.

The author analyzes the nature of corrupt behavior, its conditionality by a set of factors and the relationship with other phenomena (social and professional mentality, legal awareness, motives and values of the individual). A correlation is established between theoretical generalizations and empirical data obtained during a virtual conversation with experienced managers and employees of departments of the State Road Safety Inspectorate. The measures contributing to the reduction of corruption risk in the professional activities of employees of the State Traffic Inspectorate are determined, among which, first of all, an increase in wages, an improvement in the organization of work and the formation of public intolerance to corruption are indicated. Conclusions are formulated and prospects for the study of the psychology of corruption are outlined, which have methodological and applied significance.
Analysis of the Level of Self-Regulation and Components of the Emotional State of Police Officers: Results of Practical Work
Authors: Proskuryakova L.
Published: December 2022

The work is directed towards studying self-regulation, components of the emotional state of police officers as professionally important qualities of specialists in extreme professions. The aim of the study was to develop and implement training to reduce anxiety, stress and improve mood in the professional activities of police officers. The seven-month period of work included 3 stages: input and output diagnostics, development and implementation of self-regulation training. Empirically investigated 64 police officers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia in the Kemerovo region (control and experimental groups of 32 people). The following methods were used: A.S. Karelin “Diagnostics of anxiety and depression”; “Situational anxiety” by C.D. Spielberger and Y.L. Khanin; “WAM (Well-being, activity, mood)” by V.A. Doskin, N.A. Lavrentieva; Stress Scale PSM-25 Lemur-Tessier-Fillion; “Fatigue—Monotony—Satiety—Stress” by A.B. Leonova; DS-30 V.P. Pryadein. The initially established low level of self-regulation (31.2%), mood and anxiety (6.2% each), high stress level (9.3%) were corrected by training with blocks of bodily, verbal and sensory-figurative effects for 6 months (35 hours, 1-2 times a week). As a result, in the implementation group, the median score increased in terms of self-regulation (by 39%), mood (by 62%), decreased in situational (by 31%), general anxiety (by 10%); stress (by 13-22%), there were no significant differences in the input and output diagnostic indicators in the control group, which indicates the effectiveness of the implementation of the training. The unstable situation in the country recommends the use of training among police battalions on a permanent basis.
Legal Culture in Psychology: Age Specific and Gender Aspect
Authors: Bogdanovich N.V. , Melnik M.
Published: December 2022

The work is devoted to the specificity of the phenomenon of “legal culture” from the psychological point of view. An attempt was made to psychologically examine the concept of legal culture and describe its components, which allowed us to select methods for identifying age and gender features. We determined the dynamics of legal culture in four age groups (pupils of 9 and 11 classes, senior citizens from 18 to 35 years old and mature persons from 36 to 50 years old). It was found that some psychological features of older schoolchildren have statistically significant indicators that differ from younger and older age groups, and gender specificity in different age periods was described. Based on the data obtained, conclusions were made about legal culture as a psychological phenomenon and the importance of further research into psychological features of legal culture, which can serve as a basis for the development of programs to develop legal culture in the aggregate and in its individual components in juvenile and adult young citizens, in persons of mature age and society as a whole.

Published: December 2022

The article studies various forms of legal consciousness deformations in its connection with the positive legal liability and legal awareness. The presented research material justifies the somewhat schematic approach to the study of subjective aspects within the legal liability. The authors identify the dialectical contradictions between legal liability and formal legitimate behavior; legal liability and irresponsibility with legal nihilism and idealism. It is concluded that such phenomena as idealism and misunderstood legal regulation objectives characterize the distorted subjects’ legal awareness with its external formally legitimate behavior and internal irresponsibility. It has been also substantiated that legal idealism, excessive institutional law-making and public relations regulation form the internal responsibility due to the bureaucratization and false objectives achievement in legal regulation.
Socio-Psychological Features of the Prosociality Formation in Adolescent Leaders with Negative Orientation
Authors: Glebova A.
Published: December 2022

Nowadays insufficient attention in science and penitentiary practice is paid to socio-psychological factors that cause the development of destructive leadership of positive and negative orientation. The material is devoted to the improvement of methods and technologies of preventive psychological work with juvenile offenders who are leaders in their environment. The authors describe the main features and characteristics of destructive leadership with positive and negative orientation, substantiate the forms of psychological and pedagogical influence in the organization of preventive work with juvenile offenders. A program of prosocial personality development has been developed, aimed at overcoming deviant behavior and developing (strengthening) the prosocial orientation of the individual through the formation of an axiological, instrumental and motivational-need component of the personality.
Variable Daily Autocorrelation Functions of High-Frequency Seismic Data on Mars

Published: December 2022

High-frequency seismic data on Mars are dominated by wind-generated lander vibrations, which are radiated partially to the subsurface. Autocorrelation functions (ACFs) of seismic data on Mars filtered between 1 and 5 Hz show clear phases at ∼1.3, ∼2.6, and ∼3.9 s. Daily temporal changes of their arrival times (dt/t) correlate well with the daily changes of ground temperature, with ∼5% daily variation and ∼50 min apparent phase delay. The following two mechanisms could explain the observations: (1) the interference of two predominant spectral peaks at ∼3.3 and ∼4.1 Hz, assumed to be both lander resonance modes, generate the apparent arrivals in the ACFs; (2) the interference of the lander vibration and its reflection from an interface ∼200 m below the lander generate the 3.3 Hz spectral peak and ∼1.3 s arrival in the ACFs. The driving mechanism of the resolved dt/t that most likely explains the ∼50 min delay is thermoelastic strain at a near-surface layer, affecting the lander–ground coupling and subsurface structures. The two outlined mechanisms suggest, respectively, up to ∼10% changes in ground stiffness at 1–5 Hz and ∼15% velocity changes in the top ∼20 m layer. These are upper bound values considering also other possible contributions. The presented methodology and results contribute to analysis of ACFs with limited data and the understanding of subsurface materials on Mars.
JAMES FOWLER’IN İNANÇ GELİŞİMİ KURAMI BAĞLAMINDA GENÇLERDE ANLAM ARAYIŞI: NİTEL BİR ÇALIŞMA
Authors: DOĞANAY Süleyman
Published: December 2022

Gençlik dönemi, ergenlik ile başlayıp yirmili yaşların sonuna kadar devam eden süreçtir. Ergenlik, bilişsel açıdan soyut düşünceye geçişin ve duygusal açıdan genelde bağımsızlığın kazanıldığı bir dönemdir. Ergen birey bu dönemde dinî, mezhebî, cinsel, etnik, ve meslekî kimliğini şekillendirmek istemektedir. Ergenlik dönemi, dinî inanç hususunda şüphe ve sorgulama dönemi olduğu için inanç konuları gençler tarafından sıkça irdelenmektedir. Bu çalışma, James Fowler’ın bir yönüyle genel gelişim kuramlarına bir yönüyle da teolojiye dayanan bilişsel temelli inanç gelişim kuramından hareketle hazırlanmıştır. Çalışma, nitel desenli bir araştırmanın ürünüdür. Yaşları on sekiz ila yirmi beş arasındaki otuz üniversite öğrencisine, “Sizce günümüz gençliğinin problemleri nelerdir? Günümüz gençliğinin dinî inançla ilgili bir problemi var mıdır? Belirtilen problemlere çözüm için sizin önerileriniz nelerdir?” şeklinde sorular yöneltilmiştir. Öğrencilerden bazılarıyla mülakat yapılmış, bazılarından da düşüncelerini kâğıda aktarmaları istenmiştir. Veriler fenomenolojik yöntemle analiz edilmiş ve şu sonuçlara ulaşılmıştır. Günümüz gençleri hedefsizlikten, ümitsizlikten, geleceğe dair plan yapamamaktan, yetişkinler tarafından baskı görmekten ve kendilerine güvenilmemesinden, anlaşılmamaktan veya yanlış anlaşılmaktan, yetişkinlerin söylem ve eylem tutarsızlığından, çevrelerinin merhamet ve adalet yoksunluğundan şikâyet etmektedir. Gençler, hataların hep kendilerine mal edilmesinden yakınmakta, çevrelerinden de kendileri için kelebek etkisi yapacak ilgi ve merhamet dokunuşları beklemektedir. Gençler, deizm ve ateizm gibi akımlara meyledişlerin kitle iletişim araçlarında söylendiği oranda olmadığını, bahsedildiği kadar bir artıştan söz edilemeyeceğini vurgulamaktadır. Gençler inançla ilgili eğilimlerin zihinsel arka planında; anlam arayışı sürecinde kendilerine duygudaşlık ve sempati ile yaklaşmayan akran grubu, ebeveynler veya yetişkinlere karşı sergilenen inadına bir refleks olabileceğini, sosyokültürel alanda da bazı gençlerin dikkat çekme veya varlığını kanıtlama arzusunun yattığını belirtmektedir.
ظاهرة الإلحاد الجديد
Authors: NAWASRAH Majdoleen
Published: December 2022

ظهر الإلحاد كمصطلح في العصر الحديث ليعبر عن فكرة إنكار وجود الخالق المدبر لشؤون مخلوقاته في الغرب، بينما استخدم المصطلح في السياق الإسلامي منذ القدم ليرمز إلى كل المذاهب الفكرية التي يميل أصحابها عن العقائد الصحيحة لدين الإسلام، حيث أن الإلحاد لغة يعني الميل. ثم ما لبث أن اتخذ شكلا جديدا مع بدايات القرن الجديد، وإن كان يحوم في فكرته الرئيسة حول قاعدة الإلحاد الأصيلة التي تتبع فكرة إنكار وجود الخالق، ليطلق عليه حديثا مصطلح " الإلحاد الجديد". تهدف الدراسة إلى التعريف بمفهوم الإلحاد وأشكاله، وإلى بيان ظاهرة الإلحاد الجديد بشكل خاص، كما تهدف إلى توضيح الأسباب التي أدت إلى ظهوره، وإلى أهدافه، وطرائق عرضه وطرحه، كما تناقش وتطرح طرق التصدي له. تتمثل إشكالية الدراسة في الإجابة على الأسئلة الأكثر إلحاحا:

ما الإلحاد الجديد؟ وكيف تحول إلى ظاهرة تنتشر على مستوى الدول والمنظمات والأفراد في العالم؟

تكمن أهمية الدراسة في أنها تلقي الضوء على مسألة الإلحاد بشكله الجديد الشرس، والذي يرمي إلى فرض أجندته الإلحادية المعادية لكل الاعتقادات الدينية والروحانية، وكسب التأييد والقبول العالميين على الصعيد الدولي والأكاديمي. اتبعت الباحثة المنهج الاستقرائي وذلك بالرجوع إلى المراجع العربية والأجنبية لوصف وتعريف مسألتي الإلحاد والإلحاد الجديد، والمنهج المقارن لبيان ما يميز الإلحاد الجديد عن الإلحاد الأصلي من حيث المفهوم والممارسة. وأخيرا المنهج التحليلي الذي يحلل كل ما سبق للوصول إلى تعريف خاص بالإلحاد الجديد، وأسباب ظهوره وأهدافه، وكيفية التصدي له.

وأسفرت الدراسة عن مجموعة من النتائج؛ من أهمها: أن الإلحاد الجديد لا يختلف في قاعدته عن المذهب الإلحادي الذي ينكر وجود خالق ومدبر لهذا الكون ولكن يعاد صياغته بشكل جديد، بناء على نظرة طبيعانية للعالم، ويلح بشكل كبير على استخدام العقل والمنطق والعلم كوسائل وحيدة لفهم الحقيقة واستمدادها. بالإضافة إلى ما سبق يتميز الإلحاد الجديد بوقاحته وهجومه الشرس على الدين، فهو ليس خطأ فادحا في نظر أتباع الإلحاد، ولكن غير منطقي وخطير بشكل كبير، ويعامل أتباع الديانات عموما والإسلام بشكل خاص على أنهم مرضى نفسيين

El sacerdote indio y miembro de la Congregación para las Iglesias Orientales, Kuriakose Cherupuzhathottathil, ofrece en este texto una breve historia del cristianismo en la India, que permite comprender mejor cómo el cristianismo desempeñó un papel importante en la formación de la sociedad india en general, al tiempo que otras religiones contribuyeron a la evolución cultural y artística de este país. Luego traza los rasgos fundamentales de la relación entre cristianismo e inculturación, apoyándose en el libro «Cristo y la cultura», de H. Richard Niebuhr, para finalmente, exponer los principales edificios que han jalonado la arquitectura cristiana de la India, así como las realizaciones más recientes. El artículo concluye con una reflexión sobre algunas obras que en opinión del autor, abren una nueva vía para la inculturación del cristianismo en el Subcontinente.
