Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectroscopy with chemometrics was employed to discriminate pork, horse or donkey meat substitution in beef. Wavenumber range of 1480-1360 cm−1 (94.97% of variance is explained by the first two principal components) and fingerprint region (FR) (90.08%) clearly differentiated beef, pork and beef-pork mixtures in principal component analysis (PCA). For beef-donkey mixtures, 1760-1710 cm−1 (99.31%) and FR (96.03%) provided discrimination. For beef-horse meat mixtures; a grouping was obtained for 1290-1210 cm−1 (90.41%), FR (84.83%) and whole spectrum (88.61%). In hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA), the region between 1480-1425 cm-1 was able to separate all donkey adulterated mixtures, 100% beef and 100% donkey meat from each other with 100% sensitivity and specificity while 2980-2880 cm-1, whole spectrum and FR provided differentiation for beef-horse mixtures. 1760-1710 and 1210-1190 cm−1 regions provided classification between 100% beef, 100% pork and pork-beef mixtures (except for 5% of substituted) with 100% sensitivity and specificity.

Published: April 2020

Dünya genelinde yüksek oranda görülen laktaz yetersizliğinin tedavi edilmesi veya sebep olduğu olumsuz etkilerin azaltılması üzerine uzun yıllardır çok sayıda çalışma yapılmıştır. Süt tüketiminin mecburen azaltılmasına neden olan laktaz yetersizliğinin temelde genetik faktörlere dayanması, bu rahatsızlığın önlenmesine engel olmaktadır. Ancak önlenemese de süt tüketimine imkan tanıyacak kadar ortaya çıkan rahatsızlıkların kontrol altına alınması mümkündür. Bu nedenle daha çok bu etkileri azaltmaya yönelik alternatif çözümler aranmaktadır. Son yıllarda yapılan araştırmalar, bu amaçla probiyotik ve prebiyotik tüketiminin laktoz intoleransına sahip kişilerde laktaz yetersizliğine bağlı olarak görülen etkileri azalttığını göstermiştir. Bu çalışma kapsamında laktoz intoleransı üzerine probiyotik ve prebiyotik kullanımının etkileri üzerine yapılan araştırmalar incelenmiştir.
Do Incidental Environmental Anchors Bias Consumers’ Price Estimations?
Authors: Shanks David R. , Barbieri-Hermitte Pietro , Vadillo Miguel A.
Published: April 2020

It is well-established that decision makers bias their estimates of unknown quantities in the direction of a salient numerical anchor. Some standard anchoring paradigms have been shown to yield pervasive biases, such as Tversky and Kahneman’s (1974) classic 2-step task which includes a comparative question followed by an estimation question. In contrast there is much less evidence for the claim that incidental environmental anchors can produce assimilative effects on judgments, such as the amount people are willing to pay for a meal being greater at a restaurant calledStudio 97 compared to one called Studio 17. Three studies are reported in which the basic incidental environmental anchoring method of Critcher and Gilovich (2008) is employed to measure consumer price estimations. No statistically significant evidence of incidental anchoring was obtained. In contrast, robust standard anchoring effects were found. The results suggest that anchoring is limited to situations which require explicit thinking about the anchor.
Donizetti, Vienna, Cosmopolitanism
Authors: Vellutini Claudio
Published: April 2020

This article examines the change in the Viennese reception of Donizetti's operas in relation to the internationalization of the city's theatrical life during the last fifteen years of the Metternich regime (1833–48), as well as the ensuing tensions between German nationalist ideology and the cosmopolitan aspirations of Habsburg cultural policies. While the transformation of Donizetti's image from Italian to cosmopolitan composer resulted in part from the development of his career in Paris from 1838, it was also inseparable from evolving ideas of cultural cosmopolitanism in Vienna's political landscape. As the Habsburg court sought to contain the dissemination of national ideologies in the Austrian Empire, the construction of a Viennese operatic identity was increasingly set apart from national discourses. In Vienna's press, discussions of Donizetti's two operas written specifically for the Kärntnertortheater, Linda di Chamounix (1842) and Maria di Rohan (1843), focused on the different ways in which these works combined Italian, French, and German elements, and aligned with conceptions of cosmopolitanism that advocated for the overcoming of national divides. Viennese attempts at reconciling operatic cultures, however, collided with the universalizing aspirations that German nationalists had reckoned as the mission of their own national culture. Charting the flow of ideas emerging from the Viennese reception of Donizetti's operas for the Kärtnertortheater allows us to rethink the relationship between opera and politics in Vienna in the 1830s and 1840s, and to reconsider our approach to “national” designations as focal concepts of nineteenth-century music historiography more broadly.
On “Diegesis” and “Diegetic”: Words and Concepts
Authors: Castelvecchi Stefano
Published: April 2020

In discussing those passages of an opera in which not only the audience but also the characters of the story hear music, musicologists often write of “diegetic” music, adopting well-established terminology from film studies and narratology. The terms “diegesis” and “diegetic” stem from ancient Greek, and owe their long-standing fortune to their presence in seminal writings by Plato and Aristotle; scholars of narrative, drama, film, and music occasionally note, however, that the meaning assumed by “diegesis” and “diegetic” in recent decades is very different from (or even opposite to) the historical one. In fact, the two meanings coexist in current scholarly usage, engendering terminological (and therefore conceptual) confusion. The goal of this article is to explain how this situation came about. Ancient Greece witnessed the emergence of the basic narratological distinction between recounting and enacting, and its gradual (and far from straightforward) association with the terminological distinction between “diegesis” and “mimesis.” A misinterpretation of Aristotle by French filmologues around 1950 gave rise to the modern meaning of “diegesis” (“storyworld,” or even simply “story”), while the misapprehension by which the ancient and modern terminologies are deemed to have arisen entirely independently of each other originates in the influential work of narratologist Gérard Genette. The story reconstructed here involves to-ing and fro-ing between words and concepts: what may appear as a purely lexical study is also, of necessity, a study about ideas. Moreover, this story might serve more generally as an apologue, reminding us of the sometimes peculiar ways in which bits of our collective wisdom emerge and become accepted.
Perioperative Risk Factors for Mortality in Patients Undergoing Surgery for Ebstein’s Anomaly at a Single Institution: A Retrospective Analysis
Authors: Peene Laurens , Rega Filip , Meyns Bart , Budts Werner , Eyskens Benedicte , Troost Els , Rex Steffen
Published: April 2020

Background: Mortality after cardiac surgery for Ebstein’s anomaly ranges from 2.5% to 31%. Independent predictors for mortality and morbidity remain poorly defined because of the low incidence of this congenital anomaly. To identify potentially modifiable factors, this retrospective study investigates the prognostic value of perioperative variables for mortality and morbidity.
Methods: We reviewed the charts of 171 patients with Ebstein’s anomaly who were at one point in follow-up at our center. Only patients who underwent cardiac surgery for this anomaly were included. The primary endpoint was a composite of mortality or rehospitalization for cardiac reasons within 1 year of surgery. Logistic regression and Cox regression models were used to study the predictive value of various variables.
Results: We identified 32 patients (median age 12 years; range 7 days to 70 years) who underwent a total of 49 surgical procedures for Ebstein’s anomaly at our institution between November 1987 and March 2015. The following variables were significantly associated with the primary outcome: increased severity of tricuspid valve stenosis (odds ratio 2.089; 95% confidence interval 1.175 to 3.713) and right ventricular dysfunction (1.826; 1.109 to 3.006), partial corrective surgery (versus corrective surgery) (6.709; 1.436 to 31.344), occurrence of major postoperative complications (5.460; 1.419 to 21.008), and increased length of stay in the intensive care unit (1.051; 1.010 to 1.093). A better outcome was observed with the use of intraoperative cardioplegic arrest (0.185; 0.063 to 0.550), atrial septal defect closure during surgery, and longer duration of surgery (0.991; 0.984 to 0.998).
Conclusion: Several patient-specific characteristics and perioperative characteristics were associated with a poorer outcome after cardiac surgery for Ebstein’s anomaly. The outcome seems to be primarily determined by the severity of the valve dysfunction and right ventricular performance, with only a minor role for perioperative surgical or anesthetic technical determinants.
α-Lipoic Acid (ALA) Improves Cystine Solubility in Cystinuria: Report of 2 Cases
Authors: Cil Onur , Perwad Farzana
Published: April 2020

Cystinuria is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by excessive urinary excretion of cystine, resulting in recurrent cystine kidney stones, often presenting in childhood. Current treatment options for cystinuria include dietary and/or fluid measures and potassium citrate to reduce cystine excretion and/or increase solubility. Tiopronin and D-penicillamine are used in refractory cases to bind cystine in urine, albeit with serious side effects. A recent study revealed efficacy of nutritional supplement α-lipoic acid (ALA) treatment in preventing kidney stones in a mouse model of cystinuria. Here, we report 2 pediatric patients (6 and 15 years old) with cystinuria who received regular doses of ALA in addition to conventional therapy with potassium citrate. Both patients tolerated ALA without any adverse effects and had reduced frequency of symptomatic and asymptomatic kidney stones with disappearance of existing kidney stones in 1 patient after 2 months of ALA therapy. ALA treatment markedly improved laboratory markers of cystine solubility in urine with increased cystine capacity (−223 to −1 mg/L in patient 1 and +140 to +272 mg/L in patient 2) and decreased cystine supersaturation (1.7 to 0.88 in patient 1 and 0.64 to 0.48 in patient 2) without any changes in cystine excretion or urine pH. Our findings suggest that ALA improves solubility of cystine in urine and prevents stone formation in patients with cystinuria who do not respond to diet and citrate therapy.

Authors: De Melo Marilândes Mól Ribeiro , De Luca Anelise Grunfeld
Published: April 2020

Os Estágios Supervisionados foram regulamentados na década de 1970, considerando que havia um sério debate nas instituições escolares sobre as atribuições a serem assumidas pelos estagiários. Nesse contexto ocorria que os profissionais eram substituídos por estagiários que recebiam baixas remunerações por possuírem formação incompleta. Com a promulgação da Lei nº 11.788 de setembro de 2008, a prática de Estágio Supervisionado foi regulamentada e estabeleceu o caráter educacional dessa atividade formativa. Assim sendo, visa à formação e a inserção do acadêmico na prática profissional de professor, constituindo-se uma referência de conhecimento para o futuro docente e uma oportunidade que as instituições de ensino oferecem para o desenvolvimento de práticas pedagógicas para além da sala de aula; é neste momento que o futuro professor faz sua inserção e reflexões iniciais sobre a profissão. Dito isto, o presente artigo tem como finalidade analisar as experiências de Estágio Supervisionado obrigatório, realizadas no curso de Licenciatura em Química do Instituto Federal Catarinense – Campus Araquari. Para isso, fazemos uma abordagem histórica de constituição do curso, para em seguida debater sobre a concretização do Estágio Supervisionado, descrevendo sua forma de realização, bem com abordando os principais temas e práticas desenvolvidos pelos acadêmicos do referido curso.

US Intelligence Estimates on the Soviet, Chinese, and North Korean Propaganda Campaigns during the Korean War
Authors: Yungblud Valery , Sadakov Denis
Published: April 2020

During the Korean War of 1950–1953, one of the dimensions of confrontation between the communist countries and the UN camp was information confrontation. The USSR, the PRC, and the DPRK were active in this sphere. Their propaganda exposed real and imaginary war crimes and “atrocities” by the American imperialists. The myth about the use of bacteriological weapons by the United States in Korea was widespread. Also, propaganda supported the legend of Chinese people’s volunteers. At the same time, materials from the propaganda campaigns of the USSR, the People’s Republic of China, and the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea were used by the American special services as a source of information about the enemy’s plans. This function was performed by the Foreign Broadcast Information Service (FBIS). This agency’s analytical conclusions constituted a significant part of the intelligence information flow received by the country’s highest authorities. The article discusses the content and direction of information flows of the socialist states’ mass media. Additionally, it considers the main directions of the propaganda activity of the USSR, the PRC, and the DPRK, the “special place” Soviet propaganda occupied in the information war, and the content of radio broadcasts and other media of the socialist countries. The source base of the research includes declassified FBIS documents, mass media materials, documents of the US State Department, and various narrative sources. The authors conclude that although FBIS specialists identified differences between the strategic approaches used by Moscow, Pyongyang, and Beijing, the country’s leadership often ignored this information and preferred to follow its own “homework”.

Application of a phosphite for construction of highways is expedient for economic and ecological reasons. Most effective use of a semi-hydrate form of a phosphite for construction of local roads. One of limiting factors of wide use of a phosphite in road construction is lack of due regulatory base.

By production of extraction phosphoric acid on the Balakovo branch JSC Apatit the method of vitriolic decomposition of phosphorus-containing raw materials by sulfuric acid a lot of phosphoric acid with the subsequent division of the received phosphoric acid (a liquid phase) and educated crystalline hydrate of sulfate of calcium in a floor – or a digidratny form (a firm phase) on a vacuum filtration is used. Digidratny and semi-hydrate process of vitriolic receiving phosphoric acid along with two-phasic processes are the most economically effective processes.
Justification of the use of gabion structures to create barrier fences in the construction of roads
Authors: Badoyan Narek , Shepeteva Ludmila , Pugin Konstantin
Published: April 2020

This research is devoted to the topic of gabion barriers as a tool to protect against road accidents on highways. Nowadays, the growth of vehicles has led to an increase in traffic accidents. Due to the fact that classic road barriers that are used on highways don`t always effectively perform their function, exists a need to configure a new more effective road barrier which would reduce traffic accidents as well as the cost of materials, device, maintenance and repair designs. The article provides a detailed analysis of the barrier fences used in the construction of roads of many countries. The paper deals with the theoretical and empirical aspects of road barriers. The article analyzes the traditional road barriers new foreign developments and a new type of gabion fencing, which was not considered by investigators as a tool for protection against road accidents on highways. For empirical evaluation of the benefits of gabions from classical barrier fences, the article presented a model of fencing, as well as software packages by which to evaluate the effectiveness of gabions as security barriers. The research and experience of road and bridge construction in many countries, including the domestic experience of recent years, demonstrated that gabion structures have very wide capabilities and properties, such as economy, durability and durability, which are key in the construction of roads.

Published: April 2020

The article actualizes the importance of the development of the construction materials industry in the Russian Federation from the point of view of the need to level the existing imbalances in the socio-economic development of the regions. The main trends, problems and prospects of development of the construction materials industry are analyzed on the materials of the Republic of Bashkortostan – one of the leading subjects of the Russian Federation.
In the 1990–2000-ies of economic reform in the construction complex of the country were destroyed centralized management structures, deformed industry and spatial structure of the complex, violated the relationship between suppliers and consumers of building materials and structures, which led to the bankruptcy of most of the largest construction trusts, reducing the volume and pace of construction and installation work.
In the Republic of Bashkortostan, the share of private construction companies has increased with a decrease in the share of state-owned enterprises and enterprises of mixed ownership. Due to the crisis situation of a number of Republican manufacturers of building materials, the volume of unfinished construction is growing, the needs of the region in construction materials and structures are not covered sufficiently.
The results of the analysis of development of construction complex of the region and substantiates the need for structural and technological modernization of the industry of construction materials based on the structural transformation of the economy of the region, introduction of the latest scientific and technical achievements, advanced machinery and technological processes, effective structural changes and institutional reforms.
Taking into account the advanced foreign and domestic experience (Moscow, Moscow region, St. Petersburg, Sverdlovsk, Voronezh, Kaluga, Lipetsk, Novosibirsk, Samara, Saratov regions and the Republic of Tatarstan), the priority directions and mechanisms of structural modernization of the construction materials industry of the Republic of Bashkortostan through the use of the cluster approach are scientifically justified.
Protocol for introducing fluorescently labeled CRISPR/Cas9 RNP complex into heterotrophic dinoflagellates v1
Authors: N Sprecher Brittany , Zhang Huan , Lin Senjie
Published: April 2020

Introducing CRISPR/Cas9 machinery into the cell as RNP complexes reduces the number of steps necessary to edit the genome, does not require codon optimization or a strong promoter, can result in higher editing efficiencies with fewer off target effects, and has lower risks of cell toxicity (Woo et al., 2015; Liang et al., 2015; Liang et al., 2017; Farboud et al., 2018). This protocol utilizes IDTs fluorescently labeled tracrRNAs to visually check to see whetherthe CRISPR/Cas9 RNP molecule can make it into non photosyntheticdinoflagellates. This protocol serves as a good starting point to evaluate the CRISPR/Cas9 RNP method, the relative transformation efficiency, and can be used to help sort cells that contain the CRISPR/Cas9 RNP molecule from cells that do not.

Mathematics teachers’ learning on Exploratory Teaching: analysis of a Multimedia Case in a Community of Practice
Authors: Jesus Cristina Cirino de , Cyrino Marcia Cristina de Costa Trindade , Oliveira Hélia Margarida de
Published: April 2020

This article aim is to investigate what professional learning regarding Exploratory Teaching (ET) perspective was revealed by Mathematics teachers, in a Community of Practice (CoP). In a context intended to promote teachers’ professional development, a multimedia resource integrating real classroom situations was used to promote discussion and learning. Qualitative research has been carried out with an audio recording of the group meetings and the written productions elaborated by the teachers. The learning related to the Exploratory Teaching perspective revealed by the teachers is associated to the actions and roles of the teacher, the student’s role, classroom management and the relevance of lesson planning in teacher’s practice. The involvement in the CoP favored teachers to rethink and question some of their actions during the lessons and to notice essential aspects of ET perspective and to connect them with their experiences from the classroom. The results show that the constitution of a CoP around the exploration of a multimedia case in professional development contexts can be a facilitator for the learning of its members.

Comparison of Multivariate Outlier Detection Methods for Nearly Elliptical Distributions
Authors: Wada Kazumi , Kawano Mariko , Tsubaki Hiroe
Published: April 2020

In this paper, the performance of outlier detection methods has been evaluated with symmetrically distributed datasets. We choose four estimators, viz. modified Stahel-Donoho (MSD) estimators, blocked adaptive computationally efficient outlier nominators, minimum covariance determinant estimator obtained by a fast algorithm, and nearest-neighbour variance estimator, which are known for their good performance with elliptically distributed data, for practical applications in national survey data processing. We adopt the data model of multivariate skew-t distribution, of which only the direction of the main axis is skewed and contaminated with outliers following another probability distribution for evaluation. We conducted Monte Carlo simulation under the data distribution to compare the performance of outlier detection. We also explore the applicability of the selected methods for several accounting items in small and medium enterprise survey data. Accordingly, it was found that the MSD estimators are the most suitable.
“If You Plant Something, You Will Harvest Something”: Backyard Gardening and Community Development in Rural Philippines
Authors: Salazar Ami Dasig , Werner Pauline , Cloete Elene
Published: April 2020

This article explores the intangible benefits of backyard gardening for community development. Research confirms backyard gardening as a productive approach of communities toward greater food security and biodiversity. Those are, however, not these gardens' only benefits. Using the case of a backyard gardening project implemented by a community-based organization in rural Philippines, we argue that the benefits of backyard gardens stretch beyond health and finance. These gardens also increase local community-based organizations' institutional capacity while fostering community-wide cohesion, rekindling knowledge sources, and bolstering community members' sense of pride and personal freedom.
Naming Obstetric Violence as a Social Problem
Authors: Nalepa Elizabeth
Published: April 2020

Naming social problems is a critical step toward addressing them. Researchers have searched for a term that encompasses the violation of the rights of pregnant women by medical personnel. I argue that instead of more euphemistic terms such as “mistreatment,” “forced compliance,” or “disrespectful care,” we should name these violations more directly. The most popular emerging term is obstetric violence. In the tradition of C. Wright Mills, I argue that obstetric violence is a social problem, too widespread to be merely a personal trouble but rather an issue of public concern. I also address detractors that view using the term obstetric violence as damaging through examples of real women whose experiences cannot and should not be underplayed.

Herein I respond to Baer and Singer's critique of our special issue on Storying Climate Change by citing the importance of engaging all the fields and subfields of anthropology and the diversity of approaches. I also discuss the importance of changing the narrative to mobilize more action and to develop approaches that resonate with people across the socio-cultural and political spectrum.
Social Psychology of Development: Integrating the Ideas of L.S. Vygotsky and A.V. Petrovsky
Authors: Tolstykh N.N.
Published: April 2020

The article discusses the productivity — in terms of the further development of the cultural-historical tradition — of turning to social psychology, in particular, to the approach developed by A.V. Petrovsky that is in many respects connected with the cultural-historical theory. We argue for the establishment of social psychology of development as a separate interdisciplinary field of scientific knowledge focused on the development of the individual in a complex and rapidly changing, contantly transforming global world. We suppose that the trend in the development of cultural-historical theory towards social psychology (a step in this direction) can actually be traced already, as evidenced by the increasing use of socio-psychological concepts in studies, as well as socio-psychological strategies and research methods.
The Problem of Personality Development in Juvenile Offenders: A Cultural-Historical Approach
Authors: Kravtsov O.G.
Published: April 2020

Quite a number of scientific works focus on psychological differences between juvenile offenders and their ordinary peers. These differences usually come down to the fact that deviant and delinquent adolescents have less developed cognitive abilities, creativity and self-regulation. However, these ideas do not reflect the essence of the psychological problem of deviant behavior. A completely different understanding of the problem can be obtained if we consider the problem in the context of the cultural-historical approach of L.S. Vygotsky. In the framework of this approach, the development of the mind occurs due to the increase in self-regulation, the ability of a person to control his own mental processes. Here the question of whether human behavior is determined by external situational factors or by internal volitional efforts comes to the fore. We argue that this issue cannot be resolved mechanically as it is sometimes done. It is the individual himself who determines his/her attitude and semantic content of the surrounding social reality, and not vice versa. The results of out studies show that the psychological basis of deviant behavior is the weak development of personality in the cultural-historical sense. In other words, it is the weak subject of activity that lies at the core of deviance.
Empathy: Critical Analysis and New Research Perspectives
Authors: Bovina I.B.
Published: April 2020

The purpose of this work is to critically analyze the current state of empathy research as well as to discuss some new lines of research. The relevance of addressing the concept of empathy can be explained in the following manner: if we assume that empathy is associated with helping behavior (some researchers of empathy tend in favor of this interpretation), then in the actual situation associated with the processes of globalization as a whole (interaction with members of other cultures), as well as with a high level of migration processes, researchers are faced with a challenge of finding the factors which promote empathic reactions towards the members of other cultures. On the other hand, the concept of empathy, introduced into psychology in 1909 by E. Titchener, has a rather long history in science, but as far as the literature analysis suggests, researchers differ significantly not only in their understanding and definitions of this phenomenon, or in their explanations tof he mechanisms of empathy, but also in methods of its measurement. Although the possibility of consensus is not considered, however, reflection regarding empathy and methods of its measurement is seen as necessary. This paper outlines some perspectives on empathy research, in particular, in the context of intergroup relations.
The Possibility of Using Role-Play to Train Executive Functions in Preschoolers

Published: April 2020

In modern pre-school education, more and more time is devoted to educational activities, while kindergarten children have very little time to play. However, play activity is extremely important for the development of inhibition in preschoolers. The article presents results of a study on the relationship between the child's acceptance of different roles (positive, wise or negative hero) and the success of executive function tasks implementation (cognitive flexibility and self-restraint). The study involved 81 children aged 5—6 years of Moscow kindergartens. Assessment of the level of executive functions development was carried out three times: pre-test (without a role), test (task execution in a role), post-test (without a role) using the same complex of methods. Based on the results of the pre-test, preschoolers were divided into 4 groups (3 experimental and one control). Ekvivalent groups formation was carried out basing on the actual level of executive functions development (low and high level) and on the number of boys and girls included in each of the groups. The study showed that the adoption of the role can have both positive and negative impacts on the success of executive function tasks implementation, depending on the type of task and the level of inhibition in preschoolers. The roles of the positive and wise characters had a positive effect in all three tasks, and the role of the negative character had of positive effect only in the tasks on behavioral and cognitive restraining control (in the task on cognitive flexibility it had a negative effect). In addition, role-taking in children with low levels of executive functions interfered with the behavioral control task, whereas in the cognitive control task, role-taking contributed to improved outcomes. Thus, accepting a role can help a preschooler to regulate their behavior, which confirms the role of play as the leading activity in preschool age.
Lynching as an Indicator of Destructive Processes in Modern Russian Society
Authors: Smirnov A.M.
Published: April 2020

The article updates the issue of the prevalence of vicious punishment of harm-doers in Russian society, since the presence of this ancient practice at this point of community development indicates destructive processes in it. The following socio-psychological determinants of this phenomenon are designed and highlighted: the growth of social aggressiveness, feelings of hatred or enmity, defects in legal psychology caused by the development of legal nihilism, disappointment in the effectiveness of law enforcement agencies against the backdrop of a high level of crime in the country, rejection of the humanism of domestic criminal policy, mindset and the criminalization of Russian society, the formation of addiction to revenge and lynching, cultivated by the media. The catalyst for lynching harm inflicted primarily by affect, frustration, stress and resentment caused by a crime or other offence, which nullify the restraining imperatives of behaviour. The author concludes that it is necessary to develop appropriate measures that are proposed in the work to eliminate this negative phenomenon in Russian society.
Ontological Approach to Knowledge of the Legal Psychology Value System
Authors: Ilyina V.A. , Ilyina N.A.
Published: April 2020

The article reflects the individual results of the process of knowledge of the value system of legal psychology. The value system of legal psychology is considered as a set of interconnected ideals and meanings developed on the basis of the integration of legal and psychological knowledge, which is a singular formation and setting the goal and objectives of legal psychology. The question of the search for approaches and methods of systematizing the values of legal psychology is recognized as relevant. The author’s opinion is that the ontology (the philosophical study of being) and the ontological approach is the key to the systematization of the values of legal psychology through the method of dialectics and the principle of determinism. The ontological approach to the knowledge of the value system of legal psychology allows not only to assemble them into a single piece, but also to specify the tasks and purpose of legal psychology as a scientific branch.
Social Ostracism: Current State of the Problem, Methodology and Research Methods
Authors: Boykina E.E. , Chirkina R.V.
Published: April 2020

The problem of overcoming the risks and factors that generate destructive (anti-social, delinquent, auto-destructive, etc.) behavior of minors and youth is relevant for juvenile legal psychology and requires the construction of effective research models. The article considers the phenomenon of ostracism as one of the significant predictors of destructive behavior. According to K. D. Williams` ostracism model in a situation of ostracism, one or more basic needs of an individual are threatened: control, self-esteem (the level of self-esteem decreases), belonging and meaningful existence That, in the end, can determine radical reactions in the ostracized: autoagression, displaced aggression, the decision to join extremist organizations or cults, and other acts of anti-social behavior. This fact served as an impetus for a large number of studies in this area and mediated the creation of its own methodological base, applicable exclusively to the study of the phenomenon of social ostracism (ignoring, exclusion, rejection). The article attempts to systematize the methodology of studying the phenomenon of social ostracism: research methods are considered not only from the position of the object (target) of ostracism, but also the subject (source) and observer (vicar ostracism); descriptions of experimental schemes are carried out. The article is of interest to researchers who study the psychological aspects of ignoring, rejecting, and / or excluding, as well as to methodologists.
