Stories of Haunted Houses: Female Subjects and Domestic Spaces in Contemporary Gothic Films and TV Series
Authors: Grizzaffi Chiara , Scomazzon Giulia
Published: March 2024

The video addresses those contemporary narratives – films and TV series - that assume the stylistic elements of the female gothic genre to ponder on the conflicting nature of the relationship between women and a domestic space often presenting uncanny, threatening connotations, but which nonetheless seems to reveal a symbiotic relationship with the female subject. The work focuses on three different contemporary versions of the haunted house topos: The Haunting of Hill House, Sharp Objects and Hereditary. In all the case studies the domestic space becomes the scene of the return of the repressed, a space marked by mourning and trauma, and the embodiment of a maternal authority that prevents the protagonists to establish their own relational and affective identity.

That Moment
Authors: Zecchi Barbara
Published: March 2024

“That Moment” is about that moment of breathlessness, that suspension of both fear and pleasure, that lingering shiver that is felt more than feelings, that sense of void and fullness, when the curtain comes down and a film starts. In Cormac Donnelly’s words, “that moment ‘is’ the film.” It is the product of a displacement of emotions, what Sara Ahmed has called a rippling effect, inspired by Cormac Donnelly’s text on his emotions when as a child watched 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Published: March 2024

When trying to figure out which film the then anonymous author described in her story, the work we searched for seemed to arrive at the Venn diagram of three intersecting sets: horror – 1980s – VHS culture. When we finally found out what film it was – Poltergeist (Tobe Hooper, 1982) – it created more problems than opportunities.

The 39 Shots
Authors: Avissar Ariel
Published: March 2024

After multiple unsuccessful attempts (or productive failures) to translate the text into video, I broke the text apart into 39 short, distinct clauses and connected them to individual shots from 39 Hitchcock films. I chose Hitchcock because the text explicitly stated that it referred to a film NOT directed by Hitchcock. I was surprised to find, in the process of editing, just how “Hitchcockian” the imagery evoked by the text actually turned out to be.

Shifting Gears: A case study of bicycle planning and decision-making in Tucson, Arizona
Authors: Iuliano Joseph , Keith Ladd
Published: March 2024

Planners face a complex process from planning projects to final construction and evaluation in cycle planning. Planners tend to coordinate with peers in neighboring cities, advocates, politicians, other policymakers, and researchers to implement cycling plans. Documenting this decision-making process and the sources of information that guide decisions can provide insight into creating better cycling planning research and fostering stronger collaborations. We first provide a brief history of cycle planning in Tucson, Arizona, to demonstrate the current issues and efforts. Then, we present findings from interviews with Tucson planners and an advocate to explore information sources, collaboration, barriers, and opportunities for action for bicycle planning. Our results highlight the need for research presented in consumable ways, particularly through professional networks, and the potential for university outreach offices to assist in public participation and outreach, professional education, and collaboration on data collection and analysis on cycling projects. Focusing on these avenues can strengthen the science to decision-making pipeline. These lessons can also help improve bicycle planning in other communities.
Rising Markups and Declining Business Dynamism: Evidence From the Industry Cross Section
Authors: Albrecht Brian C. , Decker Ryan A.
Published: March 2024

In recent decades, various measures of “business dynamism”—such as new business entry rates and gross job or worker flows—have seen significant declines in the U.S.. Over a similar time frame, there is evidence that an important measure of market power—the average markup—has risen significantly (figure 1, left panel; De Loecker, Eeckhout, and Unger 2020). A natural question is whether these patterns are related.
Laparoscopic Management of Adrenal and Extra-Adrenal Pheochromocytoma

Published: March 2024

Background and Purpose Laparoscopic management of extra-adrenal pheochromocytoma requires meticulous surgical procedures because of the variable anatomic position and/or proximity to major blood vessels and the potential catecholamine surge during operation. We present our experiences with laparoscopic management of extra-adrenal pheochromocytoma and compare the intraoperative hemodynamics with those during laparoscopic resection of adrenal pheochromocytoma. Patients and Methods We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 3 patients who underwent laparoscopic management of extra-adrenal pheochromocytoma (retrocaval, n=1; interaortocaval, n=1; periadrenal, n=1) and 24 patients who underwent laparoscopic management of adrenal pheochromocytoma between June 2005 and June 2023. We also evaluated fluctuations in blood pressure (BP) reported during both surgeries. Results The tumors were successfully resected under laparoscopic guidance in both groups, and one patient had converted to open surgery. Intraoperative hypertension (BP>200 mm Hg) was observed in 1 extra-adrenal pheochromocytoma and 13 adrenal pheochromocytoma patients, whereas intraoperative hypotension (BP <80 mm Hg) was observed in 1 extra-adrenal pheochromocytoma and 12 adrenal pheochromocytoma patients. Conclusion Laparoscopy is the method of choice for extra-adrenal resection because it is feasible and reproducible with appropriate preoperative planning, similar to adrenal resection.
Long-Term Follow-Up After Laparoscopic Radical Prostatectomy for Localized and Locally Advanced Prostate Cancer

Objective To explore the impact of laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (LRP) on lower urinary tract symptoms and erectile function. Materials and Methods A retrospective study was conducted on patients who underwent LRP at the Civil Hospital Ahmedabad’s Urology Department from June 2008 to June 2023. Results Major complications following LRP are generally rare, including bladder neck stenosis, erectile dysfunction, and urinary incontinence. The incidence of erectile dysfunction varies widely, ranging from 11-87%, and urinary incontinence ranges from 0-87%, depending on the definitions used. Functional decline typically peaks shortly after surgery, with the most rapid recovery occurring within the first year post-LRP. Some patients continue to improve gradually over time. However, for some men, these adverse effects can be long-lasting. Other, less common side effects should also be considered. Despite significant technological advancements in the past 20 years, no single surgical technique has emerged as superior in terms of long-term outcomes, as surgical volume, surgeon experience, and patient characteristics remain key determinants. Conclusion When discussing treatment options for prostate cancer, it is crucial to consider potential complications like erectile dysfunction and urinary incontinence following LRP, as well as the expected recovery period. Counseling is provided to patients, taking into account their age and overall health profile. Surgical advice is given to eligible patients after evaluating the risk-benefit ratio. Patients who are older or do not meet the criteria are given appropriate guidance. All patients are informed about the possible complications after surgery and are presented with the option of palliative care or surgical treatment.
Compétences émotionnelles et simulation

Published: March 2024

Le rôle des compétences émotionnelles (CE) dans les formations de santé intéresse de plus en plus les chercheurs. Par ailleurs, l’apprentissage par simulation s’est de plus en plus développé dans la formation des futurs soignants. Cette étude pilote a pour objectif de montrer que la simulation peut être utilisée pour développer les compétences émotionnelles des étudiants. Une étude pilote est réalisée avec 24 étudiants répartis en 2 groupes : groupe contrôle (n = 10) et groupe intervention (n = 14). Le groupe intervention a participé à un programme de simulation visant le développement des CE correspondant à 10h de formation au total. Le Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire (TeiQue ; 153 items) a été administré en pré- et post-test. On observe un effet significatif de la simulation pour le groupe intervention sur le niveau d’intelligence émotionnelle global, de sociabilité, de compétences sociales, d’habiletés relationnelles. Par ailleurs, l’analyse qualitative des debriefings permet de confirmer les résultats quantitatifs. Ainsi, nous pouvons suggérer que la simulation permet de développer les CE des étudiants. Des études complémentaires doivent cependant être réalisées pour le confirmer.
Les Sciences infirmières à l’épreuve de leur reconnaissance
Authors: PEOC'H Nadia
Published: March 2024

La création d’une section sciences infirmières au Conseil national des universités (CNU) marque une date importante dans l’histoire des soins infirmiers. De facto, la question socialement vive s’intéresse à la traduction de son parcours de reconnaissance dans une double acception. La reconnaissance sociale de la profession infirmière et de son émancipation sociale et l’adossement de la discipline infirmière par son institutionnalisation du savoir en milieu académique. Cette création d’une section universitaire ouvre la question non pas de la confrontation mais de la complémentarité des champs de recherches au sein même de la discipline. Cette contribution s’appuie sur une réflexion épistémologique. Qu’est-ce que la discipline infirmière ? Quelle distinction opérée est à l’œuvre pour traduire la pratique d’un « prendre soin » et d’un « faire des soins » ? Comment les sciences humaines et sociales et les sciences infirmières s’emparent-elles de la complexité des situations de soins ? A travers la présentation de trois modalités de recherches pluridisciplinaires sur des objets carrefour propres aux sciences infirmières, nous montrerons combien la mise en dialogue constant avec les sciences humaines et sociales permet de situer la création d’un corpus de connaissances scientifiques avec cette nécessaire prise en compte de la question de l’homme, du groupe et du domaine.
Un siècle d’évolution de la formation des infirmiers en France
Authors: HECQUET Emilie , BOUCHETAL Thierry , PINSAULT Nicolas
Published: March 2024

La formation en soins infirmiers a subi de nombreuses évolutions avant d’être impactée par l’universitarisation. Cet article propose, par une approche socio-historique issue d’une analyse de corpus de documents sources et de données secondaires, d’aborder la genèse de la création du diplôme et les différentes phases d’évolution de cette formation au fil des contextes sociaux traversés. Il permet également d’interroger la transformation du rôle des intervenants de cette formation d’infirmiers suite à un siècle d’évolution. Ce détour historique aborde la genèse du groupe professionnel depuis le Moyen-Age et plus précisément la place de la laïcisation des hôpitaux dans l’évolution du corps professionnel infirmier. Une attention particulière relative à la création des écoles et l’évolution de la formation nous amène à explorer l’importance de la place de certaines personnes engagées dans cette création. Cette recherche nous permet de porter un regard réflexif d’une part, sur l’intégration universitaire et l’importance de la qualification et du recrutement d’enseignants chercheurs en soins infirmiers comme levier pour le développement des recherches en sciences infirmières et d’autre part, sur la place de la recherche pour la professionnalisation des formateurs en soins infirmiers.
Développement des savoirs disciplinaires infirmiers à l’université
Authors: DELMAS Philippe , ABT Maryline
Published: March 2024

Les périodes de réforme des programmes de formation font souvent l’objet d’avancée et de progression dans les contenus autant que dans les processus pédagogiques. Ainsi, l’Europe de la santé s’est dotée, à la suite des accords de Bologne, d’institutions universitaires de formation pour les infirmières comparables aux institutions anglo-saxonnes. Cependant, le système de formation français semble immobilisé entre la formation professionnelle et universitaire des infirmières. Cet article propose de comprendre cette universitarisation en demi-teinte en utilisant une grille d’analyse issue de la sociologie des sciences et de la structure des systèmes universitaires. Ainsi, il apparait que les Etats-Unis d’Amérique ont mis en place très tôt un système de formation universitaire libéral, décentralisé, permettant ainsi l’émergence de nouvelles idées ou façon d’appréhender les problématiques, ce qui a permis l’émergence de nouvelles disciplines. En revanche, le système universitaire français, en maintenant une hiérarchisation des disciplines (la discipline médicale étant considérée comme une discipline dominante), apparait peu propice à l’émergence d’autres disciplines. De ce fait, la construction d’une structure universitaire pérenne accueillant les savoirs infirmiers comme savoir autonome devient une urgence en France car elle constitue la pierre angulaire du développement de la discipline infirmière.
Blue Native PAGE of PINK1-TOM complex in mammalian cells v1
Authors: Ojha Hina
Published: March 2024

Autosomal recessive mutations in PTEN-induced kinase 1 (PINK1) are associated with early-onset Parkinson's disease (PD) [1]. Upon inducing mitochondrial depolarization using uncouplers, the full-length human PINK1 stabilizes at mitochondria with the TOM (translocase of the outer mitochondrial membrane) complex, undergoing autophosphorylation and activation [2]. PINK1 plays a crucial role in phosphorylating ubiquitin and the E3 ubiquitin ligase, Parkin, initiating mitophagy for selectively removing damaged mitochondria [3]. To investigate PINK1 mutation impacts on PINK1-TOM complex formation, Blue Native Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis (BN-PAGE) was done on stable cell lines in PINK1 knockout (KO) HeLa cells expressing doxycycline-induced PINK1/mutants. BN-PAGE substitutes SDS with Coomassie G250, preserving proteins in their native conformation, and utilizes non-ionic detergents for solubilization, ensuring complex integrity during analysis [4, 5]. Studying the PINK1-TOM complex has proved vital for our understanding of PINK1 stabilization on mitochondria. Here, we share our method for resolving protein complexes by blue native PAGE for PINK1-TOM complexes.

Published: March 2024

This study investigates the ecological impacts of land use change, particularly focusing on the vegetation near the Temae Golf Course on Moorea, French Polynesia. Through field surveys conducted by the 2024 Island Sustainability Program cohort, we compare plant diversity and composition in pristine and cultivated areas adjacent to the golf course. Our findings highlight significant differences, with cultivated areas exhibiting lower diversity and a higher proportion of introduced species. These results underscore the potential risks associated with tourism-driven land development, including the introduction of invasive species and the loss of ecosystem resilience. By shedding light on these impacts, our study emphasizes the importance of integrating conservation efforts with tourism development to ensure the long-term sustainability of Moorea’s ecosystems.

The floriculture industry has rapidly developed in Indonesia. One of the potential genera of orchids is Phalaenopsis. New varieties must be developed to compete with imported ones. Genetic improvement of Phalaenopsis has been carried out through interspecific and intergeneric crossing - the crossing between P. I Hsin Bee x P. pulcherrima var. champorensis is dedicated to introduce harlequin type to P. pulcherrima. Forty progenies of the first generation (F1) and their parents are used for the characterization and evaluation. The results show that P. pulcherrima is more dominant (50%) in flower shape and color based on the progeny composition. The introduction of the harlequin type into P. pulcherrima is indicated by 35% of progenies have dark colour at the flower and matched with the spotted pattern of the female parent, indicating that the female contributed partially to the respected traits. The progenies are divided into five distinct groups based on nine qualitative characteristics. Three progenies, namely D829-4, D829-6, and D829-8, are considered to have prominent features, such as more stable and symmetric coalescence of red-brownish blotches on the flowers, representing harlequin type than other progenies. These progenies will potentially be developed to be commercial varieties.
Carbon Dioxide Adsorption on Iron (III) Oxide Pillarized Na-Montmorillonite

Published: March 2024

Iron (III) oxide (Fe2O3) pillarized Na-montmorillonite (NaMMT) was prepared by ion-exchanging and calcining three different concentrations (0.025, 0.05, and 0.075 M) of Fe(OH)3 with NaMMT. The obtained materials were then examined for its ability to capture carbon dioxide, using thermogravimetric methods. The structural, compositional, and textural changes caused by pillarization were also examined using XRD, XRF, FTIR, and BET-BJH. The results showed that NaMMT-0.025 (pillared using 0.025 M of Fe(OH)3) and NaMMT-0.075 exhibit superior adsorption capacity compared to NaMMT, with NaMMT-0.025 having the greatest capacity. By contrast, NaMMT-0.05 registers a decrease in the amount of CO2 adsorbed, compared to NaMMT. Using XRF, it was shown that the amount of Fe2O3 present in the samples correspond to the concentration of Fe(OH)3 used in ion-exchange. XRD results shows that the interlayer space of NaMMT barely changed after addition of Fe2O3. Using FTIR, successful pillarization of Fe2O3 is confirmed, and by combining it with BET-BJH, it shows that addition of Fe2O3 could enhance carbon capture by creating favourable pore structures. Overall, it shows that adding an appropriate amount of Fe2O3 to montmorillonite will enhance CO2 adsorption.
Remembering Reasons for Reform: A More Replicable and Reproducible Communication Literature Without the Rancor
Authors: Ivory James D.
Published: March 2024

Increasing awareness of the “replication crisis” has prompted discussion about replicability and reproducibility in social and behavioral science research, including in communication. As with other fields, communication has seen discussion about concerns with the interpretation of existing research. One response has been the piecemeal adoption of “open science” practices in communication to reduce selectivity in analysis, reporting, and publication of research. Calls for further adoption of such practices have, in turn, been met with criticisms and concerns about the negative consequences of their adoption. Amidst disparate perspectives regarding solutions to replicability and reproducibility issues in communication science, difficulties building consensus and caution about negative outcomes are understandable, but they also present the risk of a status quo bias that could stall the improvement of the replicability and reproducibility of communication research. The urgency of the replication crisis for communication and the cost of inaction are presented here along three exemplifying dimensions perhaps of particular importance in communication research: (a) responsibility to the public, (b) stewardship of resources, and (c) membership in a community of scholars. While debate over solutions will continue, we would do well to keep in mind that problems with replicability and reproducibility in communication research are indeed a crisis needing immediate attention.
Mid-term Results of a Single-Stage Revision Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: A Retrospective Analysis of 36 Cases

Published: March 2024

Background. Revision anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction is becoming more and more common in the knee surgery due to the annual increase in the number of primary anterior cruciate ligament reconstructions. Choosing the most suitable graft and determining the staging of the surgical treatment by preoperative assessment of the possibility of performing the most anatomical revision canals and their interposition with the primary canals are the main factors that influence treatment results.
Aim of the study — comparative assessment of the results of using hamstring tendon and peroneus longus tendon autografts in a one-stage revision reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament.
Methods. A retrospective analysis of the medical records of 36 patients who underwent revision anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction was performed. The patients were divided into two groups: in the patients of the study group (n = 19) a peroneus longus tendon (PLT) autograft was used, in the comparison group (n = 17) a hamstring tendon autograft (HT) was applied. Subjective and objective evaluation using the KOOS, IKDC, and Lysholm scales was performed, and position of the central entry points of the primary and revision canals was determined.
There were no statistically significant differences in the objective assessment of the knee joint stability. Significantly better results of subjective assessment of the knee function according to the Lysholm and KOOS scales were obtained in the PLT group (p = 0.042 and p0.001, respectively). Position of revision canals corresponded to the standard values, but position of the femoral canal had a slight cranial and anterior displacement. It was also found that the PLT graft diameter was statistically significantly larger than the HT graft diameter (p0.001).
Results. There were no statistically significant differences in the objective assessment of the knee joint stability. Significantly better results of subjective assessment of the knee function according to the Lysholm and KOOS scales were obtained in the PLT group (p = 0.042 and p0.001, respectively). Position of revision canals corresponded to the standard values, but position of the femoral canal had a slight cranial and anterior displacement. It was also found that the PLT graft diameter was statistically significantly larger than the HT graft diameter (p0.001).
Conclusion. One-stage revision anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction is a safe and effective surgical procedure providing satisfactory objective and subjective clinical results. Use of peroneus longus tendon autograft allows to obtain better results in comparison with the hamstring tendon autograft.

BACKGROUND: Today, clinicians and their decisions extensively rely on specific treatment algorithms. These algorithms include prognostic models to identify high risk patients requiring hospital admission and clinical monitoring. This study suggests a prognostic model for forecasting COVID-19 outcomes in patients with advanced HIV infection, considering the high risk of unfavorable outcomes and the need for a specialized approach.
AIM: To develop a prognostic model that combines predictors of unfavorable COVID-19 outcomes in patients with advanced HIV infection.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study was based on 500 medical records of patients with advanced HIV infection admitted for confirmed COVID-19 between March 1, 2020, and December 31, 2022, and inpatient treatment at the Infectious Diseases Hospital in Moscow.
RESULTS: All 500 patients were evaluated for 167 predictive markers for unfavorable COVID-19 outcomes, outlining 50 indicators that significantly varied across the subgroups of patients with both advanced HIV infection and COVID-19 depending on the presence of favorable or poor outcomes. Oxygen therapy was the most significant factor showing a strong correlation with poor outcomes in patients with advanced HIV infection and COVID-19. Subsequently, predictors were selected stepwise to enhance the predictive accuracy of the resulting model by adding more factors.
The resulting model included seven factors: oxygen therapy requirements, CD4+ count under 50 cells/μL; manifested CMV infection with lung damage; elevated levels of lactate dehydrogenase, urea, and fibrinogen; and the presence of unspecified encephalitis. Using the available data in the calculations, a prognostic scenario and a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve were created to assess the practical significance of the proposed prognostic model. The area under the ROC curve was 90.9%, confirming the prediction accuracy and overall practical significance of the model.
CONCLUSIONS: The proposed prognostic model enables the assessment of potential outcomes and planning of adequate therapies in patients with HIV and COVID-19 co-infection admitted to hospitals at advanced stages of the disease.

Epileptic seizures, unpredictable in nature and potentially dangerous during activities like driving, pose significant risks to individual and public safety. Traditional diagnostic methods, which involve labour-intensive manual feature extraction from Electroencephalography (EEG) data, are being supplanted by automated deep learning frameworks. This paper introduces an automated epileptic seizure detection framework utilizing deep learning to bypass manual feature extraction. Our framework incorporates detailed pre-processing techniques: normalization via L2 normalization, filtering with an 80 Hz and 0,5 Hz Butterworth low-pass and high-pass filter, and a 50 Hz IIR Notch filter, channel selection based on standard deviation calculations and Mutual Information algorithm, and frequency domain transformation using FFT or STFT with Hann windows and 50% hop. We evaluated on two datasets: the first comprising 4 canines and 8 patients with 2.299 ictal, 23.445 interictal, and 32.915 test data, 400-5000Hz sampling rate across 16-72 channels; the second dataset, intended for testing, 733 icatal, 4.314 interictal, and 1908 test data, each 10 minutes long, recorded at 400Hz across 16 channels. Three deep learning architectures were assessed: CNN, LSTM, and a hybrid CNN-LSTM model-stems from their demonstrated efficacy in handling the complex nature of EEG data. Each model offers unique strengths, with the CNN excelling in spatial feature extraction, LSTM in temporal dynamics, and the hybrid model combining these advantages.  The CNN model, comprising 31 layers, yielded highest accuracy, achieving 91% on the first dataset (precision 92%, recall 91%, F1-score 91%) and 82% on the second dataset using a 30-second threshold. This threshold was chosen for its clinical relevance. The research advances epileptic seizure detection using deep learning, indicating a promising direction for future medical technology. Future work will focus on expanding dataset diversity and refining methodologies to build upon these foundational results.

Published: March 2024

Recognizing the fundamental role of learners' emotions in the educational process, this study aims to enhance educational experiences by incorporating emotional intelligence (EI) into teacher robots through artificial intelligence and image processing technologies. The primary hurdle addressed is the inadequacy of conventional methods, particularly convolutional neural networks (CNNs) with pooling layers, in imbuing robots with emotional intelligence. To surmount this challenge, the research proposes an innovative solution—introducing a novel learning focal point (LFP) layer to replace pooling layers, resulting in significant enhancements in accuracy and other vital parameters. The distinctive contribution of this research lies in the creation and application of the LFP algorithm, providing a novel approach to emotion classification for teacher robots. The results showcase the LFP algorithm's superior performance compared to traditional CNN approaches. In conclusion, the study highlights the transformative impact of the LFP algorithm on the accuracy of classification models and, consequently, on emotionally intelligent teacher robots. This research contributes valuable insights to the convergence of artificial intelligence and education, with implications for future advancements in the field.
Countering anti-Russian economic sanctions: 2022–2023
Authors:   St. Petersburg University, Samakov Nikita V.
Published: March 2024

The article provides an analysis of measures designed to counter anti-Russian sanctions. Countering sanctions is considered in the context of ensuring economic security. The article reveals decision making in the field of countering economic sanctions. It identifies the main directions of measures introduced to help the economy to adjust to the restrictions and to counter the threats posed by the new sanctions. Ensuring economic security in the context of sanctions is carried out at two levels: national and subnational. The framework and main directions of the respective policy are determined at the national level. The president of Russia determines the guidelines of the internal and foreign policies of the state, issues decrees and orders defining the particularities of a policy. The Government and the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation implement policies determined by the president and generally influence economic security of the country. Thus, when the new sanctions were imposed, the president issued several orders designed to support certain sectors of the economy and strengthen the economic sovereignty and also defined new priorities for foreign economic cooperation – The Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), Asia, Africa and Latin America. At the subnational level, regional authorities determine more specific policies within the framework formed at the national level. The common directions of measures designed to counter the sanctions at the regional level were the following: import substitution, stimulation of export activity, formation of new logistics chains, enhancement of cooperation between Russian regions, development of some other directions for foreign trade, formation of a more attractive investment climate. However, the set of tools and resources regional authorities used more actively in the context of countering the new sanctions differs from region to region.

The article presents a sociological analysis of the family role structure as the involvement of spouses in various types of social activity. This problem is actualized among Russians under the change in the meanings of the family as an institution, the roles of redistribution between men and women. The novelty of the study is that the types of family role structure; reveals the connection of the combined role structure in a married couple with the social activity of the dyad; the relationship of the role structure of the family with the satisfaction of needs in various types of social activity was revealed. The purpose of the study is to identify the relationship between the role structure of the family and the degree of involvement of spouses in various types of social activity; to determine the mutual ideas of spouses on family roles; to establish the types of social activity that are influenced by the agreed and inconsistent family role structure to a greater and lesser extent. A qualitative sociological study was carried out by using the methods of in-depth interviews and semantic differential (A. I. Antonov's method), in which 13 married couples aged from 23 to 52 years took part. The role structures of the family that influence the social activity of the dyad are identified: compatible and inconsistent role structures. Consistency of roles in a married couple has a positive effect on the following types of activity of spouses: labor, socio-economic, educational and developmental, socially useful, leisure activities. No connection was found between the consistency of spouses' ideas about the distribution of roles in the family and their activity in the socio-political sphere. In addition, the role consistency of marital relationships is associated with the degree of involvement and satisfaction of the husband and wife with participation in various types of social activity: spouses from “compatible” couples are more satisfied with participation in various types of social life, it is more diverse for them, and they devote more time to it. Marital compatibility is also associated with self-esteem of one's own life, satisfaction with the extra-family life of the spouses. The spouses from "compatible" families see their lives as full and satisfied; the positive impact of the quality of relationships on social activity was noted. The analysis of the results of an empirical study showed that the role structure of the family and the social activity of husband and wife are related: the greater the consistency of roles is observed in a married couple, the more socially active the spouses are. Mutual understanding and consistency of the role structure contributes to a more complete realization of the spouses, increasing satisfaction with their life in general and its family component.
