Authors: Santos Nathalya , Silva Adriana , Rodrigues Vitor , Vargas Jacqueline , Fischer Emelie
Published: July 2024

INTRODUCTION: Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome (KTS) is a rare congenital disease, characterized by the triad: capillary malformations that manifest as port wine stain, typically venous varicosities, bone and soft tissue hypertrophy. CASE REPORT: LFRR, term newborn weighing 3360g, male, cesarean delivery due to imminent eclampsia (G3P2C0). Apgar score 9/9 with physical examination showing left lower limb with port wine stain, increased volume and diffuse violaceous lesions extending from the toes to the buttocks, palpable and symmetrical peripheral pulses. DISCUSSION: KTS management does not have a well-established consensus, and conservative treatment can be performed using non-invasive measures (elastic or non-elastic compressive stockings) associated or not with psychological support, elevation of the affected limb and physiotherapy. Active conducts such as sclerotherapy can be used in small areas, as well as the use of laser therapy on port wine stains and ulcerations. Sirolimus may be a promising therapeutic option for the management of venous malformations, including KTS, leading to an improvement in symptoms such as pain and a decrease in the size of the lesions. CONCLUSION: KTS, as a rare syndrome, has scarce literature. The main management is based on the use of conservative therapies, others related to the complications presented and now begins the phase of using off-label drugs (Sirolimus) that slow down the progression of the disease.

Historical and etymological aspect of the conceptual triad mercy-indifference-cruelty in English and Russian
Authors: Osadchaia Olga Nikolaevna
Published: July 2024

The object of the study is the linguocultural triad mercy-indifference-cruelty in English and Russian. The subject of the study is nuclear lexemes that verbalize the linguistic and cultural concepts of mercy, indifference, cruelty in the compared languages. To reveal the essence of the concepts studied, etymological analysis of the lexemes-representatives, data from etymological dictionaries of English and Russian languages were used. The purpose of the study is to establish universal and idioethnic characteristics of the representatives of the conceptual triad mercy-indifference-cruelty in English and Russian. The following methods were used in the work carried out: semantic method, etymological method, comparative method, external reconstruction method. The scientific novelty of the work consists in the study of the linguistic and cultural concepts of mercy, indifference, cruelty in etymological perspective, which have not previously been studied in triadic relations when comparing English and Russian languages. As a result of the conducted research, we received information for the first time that nuclear lexemes verbalizing the concept of mercy in English and Russian at the initial stage of their functioning in the compared languages have similar motivation due to the presence of the first root of the Proto-Indo-European language. We have found evidence of a semantic shift in the perception of linguistic units representing the concept of indifference in English and Russian linguistic cultures in diachronic terms. A characteristic idioethnic feature of the representation of the concept of cruelty in the minds of native speakers of the Russian language is its ambiguity and dependence on casual attribution.
Communicative and pragmatic peculiarities of euphemisms in Russian and Uzbek languages
Authors: Alimov Timur Ermekovich , Kupriyanova Milana Evgen'evna
Published: July 2024

The object of the research is the linguistic means of explication, namely euphemisms, which were collected by continuous sampling from English and Uzbek dictionaries, encyclopedias and other reference and journalistic publications. The subject of the research is the communicative and pragmatic peculiarities of euphemistic units containing information about the moral values and ethical prescriptions inherent in society. The purpose of the research is to identify the communicative and pragmatic peculiarities of euphemistic nominations in the Russian and Uzbek languages, taking into account the national and cultural specifics of the compared languages. With the help of the cross-cultural method, we found that in addition to the uniqueness of the national context, there are phenomena in language systems, both universal and differential, including semantic universals and linguo-pragmatic maxims. The novelty of the research is a comparative analysis of the communicative and pragmatic peculiarities of euphemisms, taking into account the national and cultural aspect, which indicates the scientific novelty of the study. The results of the research showed that euphemism is not just a lexical substitute, but a broader concept, a form of discursive maneuvering. It has various strategies that perform the function of non-proximal manipulation of the discursive space, through which the speaker tries to increase the symbolic distance between himself and the mentioned event, on the one hand, and on the other hand, in certain situations, the use of a euphemistic unit may be due to the desire to mask real circumstances. The research work also shows that there is no relationship between the choice of euphemism strategy in the compared languages. Another important discovery is that Russians and Uzbeks resort to taboos when dealing with death and lies, but almost never sexual relations in Russian. Euphemistic language is influenced by the cultural and religious beliefs, lifestyle and norms of its speakers, especially in Uzbek, as we found when describing sexual relations and when addressing elders.

Formation of national image and translation practice of Chinese political discourse in the context of the digital age - on the example of Chinese diplomatic communiqués
Authors: Cai Jiafeng , Han Chaochao , Chen Panli , Grabelnikov Aleksandr Anatolevich
Published: July 2024

This study aims to analyze the impact of Chinese political discourse translation practices on the formation of state image in the digital era, using Chinese diplomatic documents as illustrative material. Diplomatic documents, including diplomatic communiqués, play a crucial role in political propaganda and international communication, holding significant strategic value in international relations. Analyzing the processes and strategies involved in translating diplomatic documents allows for a deeper understanding of how different translation methods influence the portrayal of a state. The accuracy and cultural adaptation of diplomatic translation directly affect the perception of Chinese policies and the image of the state by foreign audiences. While literal translation may preserve the accuracy of the original, it does not always convey cultural context and political intentions. In contrast, free translation and cultural adaptation contribute to a better understanding and acceptance of political information and the state's image by the target audience. Thus, the translation practice of diplomatic documents is not only a linguistic process but also a crucial strategy for shaping the state's image. This study employs textual analysis methods and is grounded in translation theory to analyze the use of vocabulary and sentence structure in the translation of diplomatic documents. The research aims to identify translation strategies used and to uncover hidden national images. The findings indicate that different translation strategies significantly influence the formation of the national image. Literal translation maintains the accuracy of the original but may miss cultural nuances. Paraphrasing enhances the perception and understanding of the text. Cultural transformation facilitates better adaptation of the text to the local audience. The scientific novelty of this research lies in its empirical investigation based on the translation of political discourse to reveal the formation of the state's image. The research results can be applied in diplomacy, international communications, and intercultural interactions, providing empirical support and guidance on translation strategies to enhance the national image. The study underscores the importance of translating political discourse for shaping the national image in the digital era. Under the influence of national ideology, the translation of political texts requires reevaluation and a forward-looking approach. In the digital era, the translation of political texts should aim to maintain and strengthen the national image.
The term «neo-mythology» in the foreign humanities discourse of the XX-XXI centuries: the specifics of its existence
Authors: Viderker Vyacheslav Vladimirovich
Published: July 2024

The article is devoted to the specifics of existence of the term «neo-mythology» in the foreign humanities discourse of the XX-XXI centuries. The foreign texts, which contain the term «neo-mythology» as a key word, have become the focus of research for this article. The genesis and semantics of the idea of «neo-mythology» in foreign research papers are the subject matter of the research. The origin matters of the term «neo-mythology» in the Italian cinema of the 1950s-1960s are overviewed in detail. Special attention is paid to the analysis of the main tendencies of the development of the notion «neo-mythology». Russian and foreign researches touching upon contemporary mythology differ both in the content and in the usage of the term «neo-mythology» crucially. The following research was inspired by the necessity to find the terminological equivalents in Russian and foreign scientific works on modern mythogenesis. The research is based on structural-semantic and semantic-cognitive methods. Traditional methods of analysis, synthesis, comparison and generalization are used. The results of the research enabled us to make conclusions on the peripheral role of the term «neo-mythology» in foreign scientists’ works and conclude that their preferences lie within the terms «contemporary/modern mythology». The term «neo-mythology» in the foreign discourse is mostly used in works, which are either devoted to the research of some aspects of mass culture or closely connected with Russian humanities. The usage of the term «neo-mythology» in foreign research of mass/pop culture reflects the background of theoretical analysis of modern mass consciousness turning to myths. The conclusions made in the research are supposed to help Russian scientists work with foreign studies of contemporary mythology more productively.

Authors: ZHANG YUKUN
Published: July 2024

The subject of the study is the artistic conflict in the works of V. S. Makanin. The object of the study is the evolution of this conflict during various periods of the writer's work. The author examines in detail such aspects of the topic as the impact of social and historical changes on the structure and content of artistic conflict. Special attention is paid to the analysis of three key stages in the development of the conflict: the period of the Soviet era, the time of social reforms and the modern stage of the integration of Russian literature into the world literary context. The main thematic and stylistic changes that took place in literature in response to social and cultural transformations are analyzed. The research is of interest for a deep understanding of the specifics of Russian literature of the late XX – early XXI century, as well as for studying the interrelationships of the literary process with historical and social changes in the country. The research methodology includes a morphological analysis of the structure of Makanin's works, stylistic analysis as a culture-specific code of the author, and a modeling method for predicting literary trends and creating variations of texts. The main conclusions of the conducted research are the identification and analysis of the three-stage development of artistic conflict in the works of V. S. Makanin. The first stage reflects the transformation of Soviet and Russian society, the second – the spread of social tolerance in the last years of the USSR, and the third – the modernization and integration of Russia into world culture since 1991.The author's special contribution to the research of the topic is an in-depth analysis of the changes in artistic conflict in the context of sociocultural transformations of society. The study shows how external social and cultural changes affect the inner world of characters and the structure of literary texts. The novelty of the research lies in a multidimensional approach to the analysis of artistic conflict, which allows not only to consider it within the framework of a literary structure, but also to reflect a wide range of relationships between a literary work and changes in society over various historical periods. This allows us to better understand the mechanisms of interaction between literature and society, as well as to evaluate the individual contribution of the writer to the reflection and interpretation of these changes through the prism of artistic conflict.
A comparative analysis of the usage of Greek and Russian proverbs in everyday communication
Authors: Theodoridou Eirini
Published: July 2024

The purpose of the research is to determine the linguistic status of proverbs and sayings in everyday speech of Greek and Russian native speakers. The results highlighted that both Greek and Russian speakers are well acquainted with a large number of proverbs and sayings (more than 50), but rarely use them in everyday life. Everyday paremiology is passed down from generation to generation and plays a key role in preserving cultural heritage and shaping the spiritual and moral image of society. The research also underlines the purpose behind the usage proverbs and sayings in everyday communication. It was concluded that most Greek speakers use proverbs and sayings to make information more understandable and convincing. At the same time, most Russian speakers use proverbs and sayings to express irony and relieve tension in communication. Thus, the purposes of using proverbs and sayings in everyday speech among these two nations are different. To conduct the study, the methods of sociological survey and comparative analysis were used. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the fact that the frequency of use of proverbs and sayings was determined, which reflects the characteristics of the speakers’ national identity. The practical results the research help to better understand the cultural characteristics of Greek and Russian native speakers, which helps improve the quality of intercultural communication. The above pilot data helped us to recognize the fact that the understanding and interpretation of proverbs indicate the way metaphor is used in everyday communication. Proverbs and sayings exemplify how humans use language to convey complex ideas and values through metaphorical structures. They help not only to communicate, but also to understand the world through the prism of culture and language, which is an important aspect of human thinking and cognitive abilities.
Literary reception of A. N. Ostrovsky's work in the comedy "Over the Oka River" by A. D. Simukov
Authors: Orlova Vasilissa Vladislavovna
Published: July 2024

The subject of the research in the article is the analysis of A. D. Simukov's comedy "Over the Oka River" in 1959 for the connection with the work of A. N. Ostrovsky, in particular, with his plays "The Storm" and "Talents and Admirers". The materials of the study were the draft and final version of the play by the Soviet playwright as well as the reviews of the production. In the course of the study, such features of the genre of plays-paintings used by A. D. Simukov are highlighted, such as a vivid description of everyday details and the playwright's attention to all the characters of the play. A brief historical and literary digression of the role of the "theatrical" theme in the drama of the XIX century is given. The main themes and ideas of these works are highlighted in order to compare them with the plays of the XX century. The attitude to the work of A. N. Ostrovsky in the XX century is revealed. Cultural-historical and comparative-historical methods, as well as the method of literary hermeneutics, were used in the research. The scientific novelty of the study consists in the lack of the research of the work of A. D. Simukov, whose plays were popular in the middle of the XX century, and the addition of knowledge about the perception and interpretation of the work of A. N. Ostrovsky in the XX century. The article concludes that the plot of the Soviet play is antithetical to the context of the original source of the selected quotations. A parallel is drawn with the plot of "Talents and Admires" through the image of Katya, a young actress dreaming of fame. The example of her fate shows the difference between the social conditions of the XIX and XX centuries. The reception of a play is evaluated as a game in a game. It is concluded that A. D. Simukov in "The Storm" highlighted the idea of thirst for life and beauty, the need to awaken the human soul and expressed it in his play through the characters' contact with the world of art. Author compares the draft and the final versions of the play, as well as the work on the images of the main and secondary characters. It is concluded that the literary reception of A. N. Ostrovsky's work is expressed in many ways in the plot, as well as in figurative, ideological, textual and thematic aspects of the work.
New Equilibria and Dynamic Structures Under Continuous Optimal Feedback Control
Authors: Tsuruta Ayano , Bando Mai , Hokamoto Shinji , Scheeres Daniel J.
Published: July 2024

In this paper, the new equilibria realized by continuous optimal control inputs and the dynamic structure around them are studied. Using the Euler–Lagrange equation, which is a necessary condition for optimal control problems, the equations of motion of a dynamic system with optimal control inputs that minimize the quadratic cost function are described in terms of state and adjoint variables. Based on the equations of motion, equilibrium conditions are derived, and the properties of equilibria are analyzed for the two-body and Hill three-body problems. The stability and dynamic structure around unstable equilibria are also characterized to get insights into the properties of optimal trajectories.
Autonomous Small Body Science Operations Using Reinforcement Learning
Authors: Herrmann Adam , Schaub Hanspeter
Published: July 2024

This work studies the feasibility of using reinforcement learning for small body science operations subject to resource constraints. Two mission scenarios are considered. In the first scenario, a spacecraft autonomously maneuvers between waypoints about a small body while performing science activities, such as mapping and imaging, and periodically downlinking data and managing on-board resources like battery charge, data buffer storage, and fuel usage. In the second scenario, the spacecraft periodically performs navigation updates to improve its state estimate, ensuring that the collected science is within the specified requirements. A Markov decision process formulation of the mission scenarios is formulated, and reinforcement learning is applied to solve the problem. A range of noisy observation types are tested, demonstrating that a fully observable formulation of the problem trained on direct observations of the state is robust to noisy measurements or a filtered state estimate. A decision-making agent is then trained to manage the state estimate by choosing when to take measurements, demonstrating that near-equivalent policies, in comparison to nominal problem formulation, can be trained with an optional navigation update. Finally, a demonstration is performed in which a ground station outage is simulated. The decision-making agent is shown to be robust to this outage, rapidly adjusting its plan to continue nominal operations.

A randomised controlled trial of mindfulness-based stress reduction programme for substance abuse patients in deaddiction centre
Authors: Solomon D. Alfred , Bharathi S. Kala , Vijayaraghavan R. , Krishnan Madhan
Published: July 2024

Objectives:

This study aimed to see whether a stress reduction programme based on mindfulness could reduce stress in substance-dependence patients. A randomised control design was used.

Materials and Methods:

At the addiction centre, 100 drug addicts were receiving treatment. Using a simple random sampling method, samples are split into 50 experimental drug abuse patient groups and 50 control drug abuse patient groups. Perceived stress scale (PSS) is used to assess the pre-test stress used to analyse the results. The mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) program spanned 8 weeks and catered to a maximum of 25 participants. Each day, two sessions lasting 1 h each were conducted. At the end of the programme, the PSS would be completed once more to assess post-test perceived stress levels and compare them to the outcomes.

Results:

The mean values for the control pre-test, experimental pre-test, control post-test and experimental post-test are 36.9, 36.0, 33.4 and 18.9, respectively. A two-way repeated-measures analysis of variance revealed significant differences among the groups (control and experimental), the tests (pre-test and post-test) and the interaction between the group and test (P < 0.001, < 0.001 and < 0.001, respectively). The control group’s pre-test and post-test did not demonstrate significance (P = 0.265). Conversely, the experimental group exhibited a significant decrease in PSS Score from the pre-test to the post-test (P < 0.001). This shows that the intervention is beneficial in decreasing the PSS score of the participants.

Conclusion:

Individuals receiving treatment at the addiction facility may discover that MBSR proves to be an efficient approach for alleviating stress.

Authors: Ruiz-Ipanaque Willian , Baltazar Guerrero Paul , Casteñeda-Franco Max Stevens , Mires-Reyes Arturo Joel
Published: July 2024

Ante la reducción de praderas naturales de Chondracanthus chamissoi en Perú se han planteado diferentes alternativas para su cultivo, principalmente optando por sistemas de cultivo suspendido (CS) y cultivo de fondo (CF). Al alcanzar la talla comercial, los talos sufren podas para su comercialización, desconociéndose si disminuyen su tasa de crecimiento especifica (TCE) y/o capacidad regenerativa. Por ello, el presente trabajo tuvo como objetivo determinar la TCE en la capacidad regenerativa post-cosecha y la dominancia de fases del ciclo de vida de C. chamissoi en dos eventos de poda comparando CS y CF entre agosto de 2019 y febrero de 2020 en la costa centro-sur del Perú. La TCE fue mayor en CS (1.67 % día-¹) respecto de CF (1.47 % día-¹). Asimismo, CS mostró mejores resultados en biomasa (631.6 ± 81.3 gm-¹) y longitud (23.91 ± 5.8 cm) en comparación a CF (256.5 ± 33.6 gm-¹ y 21.10 ± 7.50 cm) tras la primera poda. Luego de la segunda poda, se observaron valores reducidos en biomasa (CS: 160.2 ± 180 gm-¹, CF: 59.4 ± 110 gm-¹) y longitud (CS: 16.23 ± 3.68 cm, CF: 15.73 ± 4.25 cm). Se determino a la fase vegetativa como dominante, seguida de talos carpospóricos y finalmente los tetraspóricos. Se concluye que CS muestra mejores TCE luego de eventos poda y se recomienda dejar en promedio 4-5 cm de talo para facilitar una rápida regeneración.

Authors: Lopeztegui-Castillo Alexander
Published: July 2024

Los equinodermos son animales exclusivamente marinos con el cuerpo cubierto de estructuras rígidas en forma de espinas. Capaces de colonizar cualquier tipo de hábitat marino, estos organismos deuterostomados se caracterizan por presentar simetría pentarradial y alcanzar tallas y formas extremadamente variadas. La presencia de ejemplares de la clase Asteroidea, segunda mejor representada entre los equinodermos, es menor en el mar Caribe que en el golfo de California y el Pacífico. En Cuba, se ha descrito un número mayor de géneros, pero un menor número de especies (76) integrantes de la clase Asteroidea. El objetivo de este trabajo fue presentar un espécimen desconocido hasta la fecha y potencialmente integrante del género Oreaster Müller y Troschel, 1842, dentro de la clase Asteroidea.

The Us Approach To The October 7 Attacks And The Israel-Hamas Conflict In The Context Of Antony Blinken's Discourses
Authors: Orhan Ertuğrul Buğra
Published: July 2024

The risk of the political friction between Israel and Hamas escalating into an armed conflict has been a source of great concern worldwide. Aligning with this pessimistic anticipation, on October 7, 2023, Hamas initiated a military action from Gaza into Israel, prompting Israel to respond with a significantly devastating counteroffensive. The military operation specifically targeted places populated by civilians and elicited a response from the global community. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken engaged in numerous meetings and conducted a series of press interviews during this time. These interviews were subsequently published in text format on the official website of the US State Department. The objective of this study is to examine the discourse content of Antony Blinken's interviews regarding the Israel-Hamas conflict. The discourse content was thoroughly examined using discourse analysis. The conversation materials were analyzed using Rstudio, a code-based application. The analysis demonstrates that Blinken disregards the human rights violations committed during Israeli acts of aggression. However, Hamas was held responsible for these transgressions. Iran and Hamas were linked to terrorism as a result of their affiliation. Blinken consistently places a high importance on Israel's security in his language and communication. Blinken's affirmation of his Jewish identity during his initial visit to Israel following recent events confirmed the theopolitical connection between the US and Israel. Furthermore, it was noted that Blinken's words endorsed the framework of the religious ties between the United States and Israel. It was noted that Blinken's use of language focusing on the civilian population in Gaza did not have an impact on the current situation on the ground. The US's lack of success in providing humanitarian relief can also be attributed to its unwavering support for Israel, as reflected in Blinken's rhetoric.
SPECIFICITY OF THE EXPLANATORY STRATEGY OF A PROFESSIONAL LANGUAGE TEACHER AT A UNIVERSITY (BASED ON THE EXAMPLE OF INTERNATIONAL ECONOMISTS). PRACTICE-ORIENTED ASPECT
Authors: Гринева М.В.
Published: July 2024

В статье исследуется специфика объясняющей стратегии преподавателя языка профессии в вузе на примере преподавания английского языка для профессиональных целей будущим экономистам-международникам в МГИМО МИД России. Анализируются практические аспекты данной стратегии как комплекса педагогических действий по передаче знаний, направленных на сближение учебного профессионального иноязычного дискурса с реальной профессиональной коммуникацией на иностранном языке. На основе педагогического наблюдения делается вывод о том, что объясняющая стратегия преподавателя языка специальности носит междисциплинарный характер и включает в себя элементы других педагогических стратегий. При этом преподаватель отчасти делегирует свою объясняющую функцию самим студентам как носителям экономических знаний. Заключается, что трансформация объясняющей стратегии преподавателя языка профессии снижает статусность учебного дискурса, ориентирует его на интересы и потребности студентов, создавая таким образом благоприятные условия для формирования и совершенствования профессионально релевантных языковых и предметных компетенций будущих экономистов-международников. Предлагается адаптировать сделанные выводы к преподаванию иностранного языка специальности в вузе по другим направлениям подготовки.

The article explores the specifics of the explanatory function of the teacher of a foreign language for specific purposes focusing on teaching English to MGIMO students majoring in International Economic Relations. From a practical perspective such strategy is defined as a complex of the teacher’s communicative acts of delivering knowledge aimed at bridging the gap between the foreign language professionally oriented classroom discourse and a real life professional interaction in a foreign language. It is derived from pedagogical monitoring that the strategy in question is of a multidisciplinary nature and embraces the elements of other pedagogical strategies, with the teacher delegating part of their explanatory function to students who posses knowledge in Economics. The conclusion is drawn that a transformed explanatory strategy of the teacher of a foreign language for professional purposes makes the classroom discourse less status-oriented and more student-centered, which sets up a favorable learning environment enabling to form and improve professionally relevant language and content competences of would-be economists. It is recommended to apply the above conclusions to the theory and practice of teaching a foreign language for specific purposes to students majoring in other disciplines.

Глубина поиска публикаций составила 15 лет, также в обзор был включен ряд более ранних работ, соответствующих теме исследования. Представлены результаты о процессе становления и развития спортивной физиологии. Так, ее зарождение приходится на конец XIXвека, с началом исследований физической активности и ее влияния на организм человека. На рубеже XIX и XX веков создаются первые профессиональные учреждения для проведения исследований физиологии физических упражнений. Постепенно появляются новые лаборатории, а также начинают публиковаться тематические журналы. В наши дни исследования в этой области продолжаются. В обзоре представлен вклад врачей разных стран в развитие спортивной физиологии. Проанализированы достижения российских специалистов (Сеченов И.М., Карпович М.М., Крестовников А.Н., Бернштейн Н.А., Фарфель В.С., Кесарева Е.П., Рогозкин В.А., Газенко О.Г., Гурфинкель В.С., Карпман В.Л., Коц Я.М., Грибанов А.В., Рубанович В.Б.), представлены их научные приоритеты в мировой науке и вклад в развитие данного научного направления.

In preparing this publication, articles included in the RSCI, PubMed were used. The depth of the search for publications was 15 years, and a number of earlier works corresponding to the research topic were also included in the review. The results of the process of formation and development of sports physiology are presented. So, its origin falls at the end of the 19th century, with the beginning of research on physical activity and its effect on the human body. At the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, the first professional institutions were created to conduct research into the physiology of exercise. Then, new laboratories appear, and thematic journals also begin to be published. Today, research in this area continues. This review presents the contribution of physicians from different countries to the development of sports physiology. The achievements of Russian specialists are analyzed (Sechenov I.V., Karpovich M.M., Krestovnikov A.N., Bernshtein N.A., Farfel' V.S., Kesareva E.P., Rogozkin V.A., Gazenko O.G., Gurfinkel' V.S., Karpman V.L., Kots Ya.M., Gribanov A.V., Rubanovich V.B.), their scientific priorities in world science and contribution to the development of this scientific direction are presented.
MODERN INSTRUMENTAL METHODS OF IDENTIFICATION OF COGNITIVE-BEHAVIORAL PATTERNS OF SPIRITUAL AND MORAL DEVELOPMENT OF PERSONALITY

Published: July 2024

В статье представлен аналитический обзор работ, посвященных таким приемам и методам инструментальной психодиагностики, использующих современные айтрекеры и компьютерные регистраторы психофизиологических реакций человека на предъявляемый ему набор специальным образом подобранных визуальных стимулов. Показана принципиальная возможность их использования для выявления различных видов ценностных ориентиров личности и характерных для нее духовно-нравственных предпочтений. Продемонстрированы перспективы одновременного применения для аналогичных целей айтрекеров и приборов, регистрирующих вызванную подобными стимулами гемодинакиму респондента. Отмечена эффективность применения выявленной иерархии способности различных изображений вызывать когнитивную индукцию, что уже позволяет использовать рассмотренные виды диагностики для оценки эффективности тренинговых занятий, для нейромаркетинговых исследований и для предварительного отбора потенциальных членов проектных команд.

The article presents an analytical review of works devoted to such techniques and methods of instrumental psychodiagnostics, which use modern eye trackers and computer recorders of psychophysiological reactions of a person to a set of specially selected visual stimuli presented to him. With the help of the description of the results of the use of these tools of instrumental diagnostics, it is shown that there is a fundamental possibility of using them to identify various types of value orientations of the individual and her characteristic spiritual and moral preferences. The prospects of using eye trackers and devices for such purposes that register the hemodynamics of the respondent caused by such stimuli are demonstrated. The efficiency of using the revealed hierarchy of the ability of various images to induce cognitive induction is noted, which already allows using the considered types of diagnostics to evaluate the effectiveness of training sessions, for neuromarketing research and for preliminary selection of potential members of project teams.
