Objective: The objective of this study is to investigate the challenges in the management of Acute Myocardial Infarction in patients with associated comorbidities, with the aim of identifying gaps in treatment and proposing strategies to improve care.
 
Theoretical Framework: Modifiable risk factors play a significant role in the incidence of myocardial infarction, as evidenced by a relevant international study. Understanding the epidemiology of heart attack, including its prevalence, incidence and geographic distribution, is essential to develop effective prevention and control strategies. Identifying and managing traditional risk factors, such as smoking, hypertension, hyperlipidemia and obesity, is crucial in the preventive approach to this condition.
 
Method: Through an integrative literature review, recent studies are explored that cover everything from epidemiology and risk factors to prevention and treatment strategies. An initial selection of 153 articles was refined to 10 studies that met all criteria.
 
Results and Discussion: The results highlight an increasing trend in the prevalence of Coronary Artery Disease (CAD), with a stabilization in the age-standardized prevalence rate, suggesting advances in prevention and treatment. The analysis emphasizes the importance of robust and inclusive public health strategies, focused on educating the population about the risks, ensuring rapid access to treatment, and reducing inequalities in access to healthcare.
 
Research Implications: The practical and theoretical implications of this research are discussed, providing insights into how results can influence healthcare management, public policy formation, and clinical practice in cardiology. These implications may include the need for continuing education programs for healthcare professionals, the implementation of integrated care models, and the adaptation of healthcare systems to meet the specific needs of patients with comorbidities associated with AMI.
 
Originality/Value: This study contributes to the literature by highlighting the specific challenges faced in the management of AMI in patients with comorbidities, providing valuable insights to improve the quality of AMI care and reduce disparities in treatment. The relevance and value of this research are evidenced by its contribution to a more comprehensive understanding of the factors that influence the prognosis and quality of life of these patients.
Empirical Research on Ethical Leadership and Knowledge Workers’ Innovative Behaviour: The Mediating Role of Job Autonomy
Authors: Zhang Hong , Khan Muhammad Shahid
Published: May 2024

Introduction: This research studied the mediating role of job autonomy in the relationship between ethical leadership and knowledge workers’ innovative behaviour based on self-determination theory. Data were collected from 377 knowledge workers in the IT industry in Sichuan, Henan, and Guangdong province, China. A conceptual model was constructed and tested with the statistical software SMART-PLS. This paper concludes that job autonomy effectively mediates ethical leadership and knowledge workers’ innovative behaviour. The findings also reveal the strong and positive impact of ethical leadership on knowledge workers’ innovative behaviour. This paper enriched the leadership literature and extended the understanding of the predictors of employee innovative behaviour
 
Objective: To investigate the impact of ethical leadership on knowledge workers’ innovative behaviour. To study the relationship between ethical leadership and job autonomy. To examine the impact of job autonomy on knowledge workers’ innovative behaviour. To investigate the mediating effect of job autonomy between ethical leadership and knowledge workers’ innovative behaviour.
 
Theoretical Framework: Knowledge workers are highly skilled workers with professional knowledge, good education, or experience in their respective fields (Davenport, 2006). According to Correia & Dierendonck (2010), three core elements underpin the global meaning framework of knowledge workers: first, knowledge workers perceive their work as a calling; second, they have a strong desire for membership within a community of peers; third, they demand autonomy. These elements are in consistency with SDT.    
 
Method: This research used a quantitative approach to test the hypothesis, a closed questionnaire to collect the data, and SMART PLS version 4 to analyze the data. The survey questions were translated into Chinese with a back-translation approach (Brislin, 1986), as the respondents were all Chinese.
 
Results and Discussion: Due to the single source, we first test common method bias. We adopted a full collinearity assessment approach to check the common method bias (Kock, 2015; Kock and Lynn, 2012). In this approach, the constructs were regressed on a new dummy variable with random values. As shown in table 4.1, the variance inflation factor (VIF) is lower than 3.3 (Kock, 2015), the model is indicated free of common method bias.
 
Research Implications: The study constructed a research model to investigate the mediating effect of job autonomy between ethical leadership and knowledge workers' innovative behaviour. Management in knowledge-intensive industries, like the IT industry, can gain inspiration from the research to develop proper management strategies to promote knowledge workers’ innovative behaviour while guarding the ethical line.

Published: May 2024

Objective: This study aimed to determine the prevalence and severity of burnout among medical students at the Imam Mohammed Ibn Saud Islamic University using the Maslach burnout syndrome.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among Imam Mohammad Ibn Saud Islamic University medical students. A questionnaire was distributed to participants via Google Forms.
Results: This study involved 435 participants. Male participants represented 63.4% of the sample. Most participants were aged 23 to 27 years. As for their academic year, most were in their pre-clinical years (1st to 3rd year). As for grade point average (GPA), most of them had a GPA of 4.75-5. Moreover, based on the criteria and method of assessment (Maslach burnout inventory), it was found that professional efficacy was the highest value (87.6%) among other burnout categories. In addition, males showed higher burnout scores than females. Students with higher GPAs were more prone to higher exhaustion levels. On another scale, there was a decline in exhaustion levels in medical students. The older they got and progressed into their academic year, the more decline in professional efficacy was found.
Conclusion: The three domains of burnout, i.e., exhaustion, cynicism, and professional efficacy, were discovered to have moderate to high rates of burnout among medical students at Imam Mohammed Ibn Saud Islamic University; however, the progression of years had a significant impact on lowering levels of burnout.

Objective: This study aimed to assess Saudi plastic surgeons' awareness of strict regulations concerning patients' photographs and explore their views on sharing patients' photographs within the confinement of a conservative culture.
Methods: A national, cross-sectional, web-based study was conducted using a literature survey. The survey consisted of 17 items that assessed plastic surgeons' perceptions of taking, storing, and sharing photographs on social media platforms. The survey was reviewed by three field experts, and a pilot study was conducted to ensure content and face validity. Data were collected between February 13 and March 10, 2023. Convenience sampling was used in this study.
Results: A total of 76 plastic surgeons participated in the study. Only 38.2% of surgeons used social media for professional advancement. Most were aware of the policies for taking photographs of patients (88.2%). Only a small number (11.8%) shared patient photographs on social media, predominantly Instagram (100%) and Snapchat (88.9%). The most common body part that the surgeons deemed acceptable for posting on social media was the part of the face concerned with the intervention (69.6%).
Conclusion: Plastic surgeons in Saudi Arabia who use social media face additional challenges owing to cultural and regulatory restrictions on patients' photograph sharing. Their knowledge and compliance with taking and sharing photographs were relatively high.

There is no universal agreement on the best course of action for treating lower limb abnormalities, which can be managed with either amputation or limb reconstruction. In patients with lower limb abnormalities, this meta-analysis compared patient satisfaction and surgical complications between amputation and limb reconstruction. A systematic search was done to find studies contrasting lower limb amputation and limb repair. MEDLINE, Cochrane Registry of Clinical Trials, EMBASE, PubMed, Google Scholar, CINAHL, and Elsevier Scopus databases were searched using keywords (amputation and reconstruction) and (Fibula hemimelia or Fibula deficit or Fibular deformity) (therapy or treatment or management). Patient satisfaction and surgical complications were the main results. The odds ratio (OR) for patient satisfaction and the percentage of surgical problems per limb were calculated using a random-effects model. The meta-analysis includes seven trials that covered 202 patients in total. With an OR of 6.8, patients who had limb amputations reported higher levels of treatment satisfaction than those who had limb reconstructions. Additionally, the OR of 28 showed that the rate of surgical complications was much lower in the amputation group compared to the limb reconstruction group. In comparison to patients who underwent limb reconstruction, patients who had amputations reported higher levels of satisfaction and a lower risk of postoperative complications. According to these findings, amputation might be a better course of action for some patients with lower limb abnormalities.

Foundations of the meaning of the root of the verb (incomplete action)
Authors: Awad Khamees Abdulsattar
Published: May 2024

We must know in this introduction from our modest research and before continuing our study, what is the meaning of the root in the Russian ‎sentences. Here we can define the root, as it is the main part of the verb ‎from which the meaning of the verb is derived.
  Therefore, it is a very important part of the verb, and the root can also be considered to be (morpheme).
   Here we present the linguists’ definition of the verb root, which is the part from which the form of the word (the verb) is extracted, and this means that the root: is what creates the verb form and from it the verb ‎ (incomplete action), and thus it is what constitutes the verb and its meaning ‎in the context of the sentence.
   It should be noted that in the Russian language we cannot find a verb without a root, and this is a well-established linguistic fact in many ‎languages. And according to the rules of the Russian language, we can say that the meaning of the verb is primarily associated with the root.
   In other words, the verb root and from it the verb (incomplete action) contain the meaning of the verb, in addition to being its main component.
  There are words and actions that have a specific root. This root indicates its meaning for other words and meanings: for example, the word (white) and the verb (to whiten) indicate at the same time the meaning of (snow white). And the word (black) and the verb (black) are associated with the ‎meaning and concept of the word (coal).
   Since we are talking about the root of the verb, the reader has a question, how do we find the root? Answer: The root exists in two ways:
- Detect words and verbs consisting of the same root.‎
- Find words and verbs that have common parts of letters.‎

Performance Improvement of Winged Compound Helicopter Due to Differential Flap Deflections
Authors: Sugawara Hideaki , Tanabe Yasutada , Kameda Masaharu
Published: May 2024

A lift-offset system for a single-rotor-type compound helicopter is proposed to improve the aerodynamic performance in high-speed flight. The proposed system utilizes the differential flap deflections on the fixed wings to produce a rolling moment, which is counteracted by the single main rotor, causing the rotor to operate in a lift-offset state. The performance of the proposed system is evaluated through numerical simulations. At first, the effect of lift offset with regard to lift-share ratio on the rotor performance is investigated. Then, the impact of lift offset due to the differential flaps on the overall effective lift-to-drag ratio is studied. The results show that the lift offset significantly improves the rotor performance and the overall effective lift-to-drag ratios, especially at larger rotor lift-share ratios. The overall effective lift-to-drag ratio increases by 10% due to the differential flaps compared to the zero-flap deflections. It is concluded that the lift offset due to the differential flaps achieves more efficient cruising flight for a single-rotor-type compound helicopter.
Controllability Evaluation for VTOL Aircraft in Velocity Envelope: A Distance-Based Metric
Authors: Lu Zhidong , Hong Haichao , Schweighofer Felix , Holzapfel Florian
Published: May 2024

This paper introduces an approach for evaluating and quantifying the controllability of vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aircraft across various flight states. By employing the controllability theory for linear systems subject to bounded control, this study derives sufficient conditions for the local controllability of the nonlinear VTOL system. These conditions are cohesively integrated with the trimmability condition directly derived from nonlinear dynamics, establishing a comprehensive criterion that facilitates the assessment of both trimmability and controllability of VTOL aircraft. This unified criterion elucidates the relation between desired and achievable specific forces and moments with clear implications for flight mechanics. Building upon this criterion, a distance-based metric is proposed to quantify the controllability, with an optimization-based algorithm developed for its calculation. Focusing on an exemplary lift plus cruise VTOL aircraft, this study investigates controllability variations within the aircraft’s velocity envelope and assesses the impact of rotor failures on controllability. These applications demonstrate the proposed method’s effectiveness in quantifying the controllability of VTOL aircraft in various flight conditions.
Direct-Noise of an Ultrahigh-Bypass-Ratio Turbofan: Periodic-Sector vs Full-Annulus Large-Eddy Simulations
Authors: Al-Am Jean , Giauque Alexis , Clair Vincent , Boudet Jérôme , Gea-Aguilera Fernando
Published: May 2024

The tonal and broadband noise of an ultrahigh-bypass-ratio fan stage, which has been developed at École Centrale de Lyon, is studied using large-eddy simulations (LES). Wall-modeled LES of a periodic sector and a 360-deg full fan stage have been performed at approach conditions, which is a relevant operating point for aircraft noise certifications. The fan noise is directly obtained from the fully compressible LES, using a well-refined unstructured mesh, and compared with state-of-the-art analytical models. The impact of the periodic boundary conditions, which are often used for high-fidelity simulations of turbofan engines, is assessed. The results from the 360-deg and periodic-sector LES are compared from aerodynamic and acoustic perspectives, including an analysis of the mean and turbulent flow quantities and sound-pressure spectra. Aerodynamic parameters show similar results for both configurations. However, the fan blade loading is slightly reduced in the 360-deg- LES near the blade tip. Acoustically, lower sound power levels at the intake and exhaust sections of the fan stage are obtained in the 360-deg LES, when compared to the periodic sector LES, particularly at low and middle frequencies. This can be associated with lower coherence levels in the fan wakes and smaller spanwise correlation lengths at the trailing edge of the blades. The modal content of the acoustic field has also been analyzed in detail and shows that the periodic sector LES cannot correctly simulate the modal content of the fan noise.

Authors:   Chernihiv Polytechnic National University, Serdiuk Denys , Volok Anton ,   Chernihiv Polytechnic National University
Published: May 2024

Sustainable development is a concept of economic development that is being implemented by the world’s most developed countries. Sustainable development focuses on com-bining effective functioning of the economic, social and environmental systems of society. In eco-nomically underdeveloped countries, the rate of the national economy growth based on sustaina-bility is slow and not always stable. The above outlined issues are relevant to the study of the peculiarities of financing sustainable development, which requires deepening theoretical and ap-plied provisions for ensuring necessary number of financial resources for this development in long term.The article is aimed at deepening theoretical provisions of sustainable development in terms of studying the conceptual-categorical apparatus in the field of financing of such development.Within the article, a study of the conceptual-categorical apparatus used in research on financing sustainable developments is conducted. First of all, the essence of such develop-ment is analysed, the approaches to consideration of its content are singled out and its features are specified.It is established in the article that the model of sustainable development is cur-rently leading in the development of the vast majority of developed countries, since achieve-ment of the main goals of such development allows creating a harmoniously functioning society and ensuring a significant potential for its further balanced and efficient development.The analysis of the conceptual-categorical apparatus for studying the process of financ-ing sustainable development has made it possible to state that a wide range of different defi-nitions is used in scientific works today, among which the following have been identified: “sus-tainable financing”, “sustainable finance”, “finances of sustainable development”, “green finance”, “climate finance”.Accordingly, in the article, the essence of these categories is grad-ually examined, and their substantive coordination with each other is described.At the same time, it has been found that the increase in scientific research aimed at creating the conditions for sustainable development also contributes to the search of new re-sources of attracting financial resources.This, in turn, leads to the increase in the number of new scientific researches, and, accordingly, deepens the existing system of relevant economic categories used within then in the field of financing sustainable development

The paper presents the results of experimental studies of the structural state of composites obtained at high temperatures and pressures from cBN powders with coatings deposited by CVD from Ti compounds using a gas transport reaction. The features and quantitative parameters of the structure of the composites depending on the presence of Ti in the coating were determined. It has been experimentally established that the matrices of the obtained composites are formed by submicron grains of TiN and TiB2, the quantitative differences of which correspond to the concentration of Ti in the coating - from 3 to 8 %. The structure of the obtained composites is characterized by a uniform distribution of the ceramic matrix between the cBN grains, which is achieved due to the high-quality encapsulation of individual grains of the superhard phase in the coating. The ceramic layers have the largest dimensions (up to 10-12 μm) in the area of triple joints, the width of the zone between two adjacent cBN particles is < 1 μm. When moving from a coated powder to a composite, the shape of the diffraction peaks changes, which is associated with the stresses of the first and/or second kind inherent in the studied samples. Sintering of the powder leads to a decrease in the size of the blocks from 56 nm to 27 nm, an increase in the lattice strain from 0.11 to 0.24 %, in TiN - to an increase in the lattice parameter in the composite by 10% (from 0.4244 nm to 0.4253 nm), a decrease in the size of crystallites within individual grains from 100 nm to 20 nm, and an increase in the lattice strain by 0.47 %. At the same time, TiN nitride is supersaturated with nitrogen, which is a significant increase in its lattice parameter, and the coating formed in this case is exclusively oriented in the (022) direction.
The Role of Confucian Officials in the Ritual Transformations of the Jurchen Jin State during the Reign of Xi-zong
Authors: Khaymurzina M. A.
Published: May 2024

During the reign of Xi-zong (1135–1149), the third ruler of Jin, the socio-political structure of the young Jurchen State as well as their customs and beliefs underwent many changes. The adoption of new political and religious components transformed the foundations of Jurchen ethno-cultural identification. At that time, Chinese court etiquette and new Confucian rituals were introduced to Jurchen culture. All these new Confucian rules were a form of new relationships and patterns of behaviour and actions. These innovations were needed to form and strengthen imperial power in Jin. This was the reason why the Jurchen autochthonous culture was adapted to the norms of other ethnic cultures. The reign of Xi-zong, for example, is marked by the formation of state cults of ancestor worship and worship of Confucius. A special role in those innovations and changes was played by non-Jurchen advisers, they were the transmitters of Confucian ideas. Non-Jurchen officials have served in Jin since the formation of the Jurchen State, when the Jurchens took over the territories of the Liao State and the Celestial Empire. By the time of, and during Xi-zong`s reign, non-Jurchen officials did a lot for building a new ceremonial system, to strengthen the imperial power, which is why in the last years of Xi-zong's reign, there was the struggle of the Jurchen nobility against the activities of Confucian officials and the new Chinese ceremonial system they built.

Authors: Voytishek E. E. , Wang Ting
Published: May 2024

This article focuses on the activities and religious practices of the Jile Temple (Temple of Bliss) in Harbin; one of the largest and most respected in northeast China. Harbin, founded in 1898 by Russian railway engineers in connection with the construction of the Chinese Eastern Railway, brings together different ethnic and religious cultures. This study provides a brief historical overview of the activities of the temple, which played a major role in the development of Buddhism in the context of multicultural ideological and political trends in the first decades of the 20th century. The most important temple practices and celebrations are analyzed alongside the review of cultural heritage sources. Special attention is paid to the analysis of traditional rituals that take place as part of the celebration of Buddha's birthday in the fourth month of the lunar calendar. Based on the analysis of written sources and the use of ethnographic materials, including conversations with monks and laymen of the Jile Temple, the main stages and features of the ritual of washing the Buddha statue are highlighted, where manipulation of incense plays an important role. Closely linked to the history and evolution of Buddhism, religious events and rituals continue to have a profound influence on the traditions and culture of modern society.

Authors: Qingmiao Yang , Ignatenko A. V. , Ting Sun
Published: May 2024

This paper examines the literary criticism of China about F. M. Dostoevsky’s novel “The Idiot” (1868), which has been the focus of attention of various readership, as well as the issues of perception and study of the novel in modern Chinese theory of literary criticism. Hence, the purpose of this article is to trace the history of literary criticism of the “The Idiot” in China over the past almost ninety years since its first publication in Chinese in 1935. It is noted that during this period the novel was translated into Chinese at least seventeen times with millions of copies released, withstanding more than 50 editions. It also provides an overview of the studies of Chinese scientists in recent years devoted to the study of the novel, and attempts are made to identify trends in the study and commentary of the novel in China. Chinese readers were first introduced to Dostoevsky’s work by the famous novelist, literary critic and translator Zhou Zuozhen. The conducted research allows us to conclude that Chinese readers accept and interpret F. M. Dostoevsky’s novel “The Idiot” with great interest. The questions that the researchers raise in their writings confirm the hypothesis that the Chinese reader associates the main character Prince Myshkin with the Confucian category of Ren.
Syntactical Features of Proverbs with the Complex Sentence Structure in Chinese
Authors: Reshetneva U. N.
Published: May 2024

The article addresses the study of the syntactic structure of Chinese proverbs, which have their own grammatical features. The relevance of this study is determined by the linguistic value of folk aphorisms, and the insufficient study of Chinese proverbs with complex sentence structure. The purpose of the article is to identify syntactical peculiarities of complex sentences in the paremiological stock of the Chinese language. The material for this paper was Chinese proverbs with subordination, selected by the method of continuous sampling, from the collection of Chinese folk sayings. The methodology of the study involves recourse to descriptive and interpretive methods, sampling method, as well as structural-semantic, component and contextual analysis. The study of the empirical material revealed that proverbs, as complete units of utterance, are characterized by a structural diversity of predicative parts within the complex. The most numerous of them are complex sentences with the meaning of condition. Some connectives, characteristic of written speech, are not used in oral folk utterances. The absence of the subject of action emphasizes the generalization of the content of proverbs, their different address or temporal orientation.

The results of calculations of the efficiency coefficients of the use of APDS-9960 and TCS34725 sensors are presented. The dependences of the ratio of signals of various channels of the APDS-9960 sensor on temperature and quantization errors are calculated. It was found that when using an additional IR filter, the APDS-9960 sensor has a higher efficiency coefficient and a quantization error 1.5 times less than TCS34725. The results of field tests of an experimental spectral ratio pyrometer with an APDS-9960 sensor are considered

Objectives:

The objectives of this study were as follows: (1) To ascertain the prevalence of hypertension (HTN) among village women. (2) To determine the impact of an intervention strategy of Behavior Change Communication utilizing a camp approach supplemented with nukkad natak on the self-care capacity of village women for lifestyle modification for prevention of HTN.

Materials and Methods:

The study was conducted during June–July 2023 in the field practice area of Community Medicine of a medical college. Sample size was arbitrary (n = 200) out of all willing women attending outpatient departments during the study period. First, a baseline assessment of the study population was done. Street plays were held for the study population on HTN-related healthy lifestyle. Changes in their knowledge were documented. Appropriate statistical analysis was done using Excel sheets.

Results:

Most (79%) of the women in the village had normal blood pressure, with 19% of them having mild and 2% had moderate HTN. Most hypertensive women (72%) were not taking medications. Out of 12 hypertensive women who were taking antihypertensive medications, half of them were regular. There was a significant improvement in the score of self-care capacity, treatment HTN diet-related knowledge of the women after the intervention. Respondents liked the idea of organizing drama to propagate health-related messages.

Conclusion:

One in every five persons in the study population of rural health training centre (RHTC) had HTN. Most hypertensive women (72%) were not taking medications. Those who were taking antihypertensive medications, only half were regular in it. After Nukkad Natak based intervention, there was a significant improvement in the scores of HTN diet and treatment-related knowledge and self-care capacity of the respondents for prevention of HTN. Our respondents liked the idea of organizing drama to propagate health-related messages.
A Quantitative Case Study of Group Well-dying Art Therapy on Death Anxiety and Acceptance of Male Older Adults Living Alone
Authors:   Korean Journal of Research in Gerontology, Hong Myoung-Jin , Kim Seo-Hyun
Published: May 2024

In the second half of life, as people get older, they are more frequently exposed to the death of acquaintances, and some of the older adults have very intensive anxiety about death. In particular, the anxiety tends to be severe in older men who are living alone in poor health and in poverty. Accordingly, this study was conducted in the context of examining the specific background of the death anxiety among older men living alone and helping them to accept their death as a natural phenomenon. The participants in this study were four older men who were members of a senior welfare center located in Seoul, and all of them had lived alone for at least 20 years. A group art therapy program based on acceptance and commitment therapy was conducted on them once a week for 10 weeks. The researcher attempted to have interaction verbally with them related to life or death while helping and/or intervening in their work activities in each session, and had in-depth interviews with each of them after the program ended twice. Through within-case and cross-case analyses of the verbal interaction and in-depth interviews conducted in each session, sub-themes and themes corresponding to two categories of death anxiety and acceptance were derived. As a result, 29 sub-themes were derived from the within-case analyses of the death anxiety category, and they were integrated into 5 themes through cross-case comparisons. The five themes were ‘death recognized in childhood’, ‘death to come soon’, ‘despair and fear of death’, ‘sleepless nights due to death anxiety’, and ‘wishing for a painless death’. Meanwhile, for the category of death acceptance, 22 sub-themes were derived from within-case analyses and integrated them into 4 themes through the cross-case comparisons. The four themes were ‘a new life in the face of death’, ‘a peaceful zone in the storm of death’, ‘composure toward death’, and ‘a valuable gift gained from the program’. In addition, older men living alone not only reduced their anxiety about death but also developed an attitude of naturally accepting death as a part of life while participating in the program of this study. Although the findings of this study were derived from a program conducted on a small group, they are significant in terms of their effectiveness in preventing suicide. In other words, it can be said that the well-dying art therapy program would lower the risk of suicide by providing opportunities for communicating about life and death to vulnerable older people who are at high risk of suicide due to illness or poverty.

POSSIBILITIES OF THE SUBJECTIVE SCALING METHOD IN ASSESSING THE ABSTRACTNESS OF CONCEPTS CONSTITUTING THE CONTENT OF MENTAL REPRESENTATIONS OF EMOTIONS AS A CLASS OF PHENOMENA
Authors: Fedosina Svetlana S.
Published: May 2024

Abstractness is considered to be a characteristic of a word, concept, linguistic unit, indicating its connection with the sensory, objective experience of the individual. The concepts that constitute the content of mental representations may differ in the level of concreteness and abstractness, but in recent works there is no consistency of whether the concepts that describe emotions as a class of phenomena are concrete or abstract. 73 students (17 males, 56 females) took part in the study. The participants’ task was to rate the abstractness of the concepts that constitute the content of mental representations of emotions as a class of phenomena (60 concepts) on a 5-point scale. The results obtained showed that most of the concepts have an aver- Теория, стратегии 83 age level of abstraction. A high consistency with English-language norms of abstraction was found out, as well as a high consistency in the level of abstraction in groups that differed in gender and specialty / area of training.
EXTRAVERSION, INTROVERSION AND NEUROTICISM IN STUDENT ATHLETES INVOLVED IN SHOOTING SPORTS (according to the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire)
Authors: Vorobyova Svetlana M.
Published: May 2024

In this article, student shooters (69 people) answer the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire and perform control shooting. The levels of neuroticism and extraversion-introversion and their relationship with shooting results are determined both in the entire group and when divided by category and separately among men and women. It is revealed that the level of extraversion-introversion is not correlated with the shooting result. The level of neuroticism determines the balance of nervous processes and, thus, can influence the shooting result. The level of lying indicates the importance of building trust with shooters.
Cine-Substitution of Enolates: Enolate Dance/Coupling of Cycloalkenyl Pivalates by Nickel Catalysis
Authors: Moriya Eito , Muto Kei , Yamaguchi Junichiro
Published: May 2024

This manuscript describes the development of Ni/dcype-catalyzed enolate dance/coupling reaction of alkenyl pivalates with nucleophiles, resulting in cine-substitution. Pivalates derived 1-tetralone undergo this reaction, to produce C2-functionalized dihydronaphthalenes. The direct utilization of 1-tetralone is also feasible, employing Piv2O to generate the corresponding enol pivalate in situ. Mechanistic investigations including stoichiometric experi-ments, suggest that the reaction proceeds via C–O oxidative addition, nickel 1,2-translocation, and subsequent cou-pling with a nucleophile.
