Published: January 2021

The article is devoted to the problem of speech disorders caused by local brain damage. The purpose of the study is to demonstrate different tests for diagnosing aphasia developed in European countries and Russia. Four out of these methods have passed significant approbation and are widely used for testing the speech of the patients with aphasia. The other three were created recently and reflect current data from neurolinguistics. The authors used a descriptive method to present the testing systems. The study showed that European classifications of aphasia differ from Russian ones. There is a problem of discrepancies in diagnosis when using different methods. It was noted that there is a culturally specific marker of diagnosis in accordance with the research traditions of different countries and cognitive and mental characteristics of the patients who speak different languages. Modern approaches to working with aphasia are associated with neuropragmatics, research of metalinguistic abilities and augmentative / alternative communication. The prospects for diagnosing speech localization in the brain are found in the combination of methods of neuropsychology and neuroimaging and in the use of artificial intelligence. The problem of post-stroke speech disorders is relevant and requires the combined efforts of speech therapists, linguists, neurologists, and neuropsychologists

Published: January 2021

The article discusses the features of the strategy for the dynamic development of relations in the field of art of Azerbaijan and Ukraine. The successes of cooperation in the field of art, the further development of bilateral humanitarian ties, which served as a vivid example of strategic partnership between the republics in the new century, are noted. Bilateral and multilateral events are currently under way. States are trying to demonstrate the ideas of "equality" and "brotherhood" among themselves. Cultural ties between Ukraine and Azerbaijan are being carried out. Cultural ties with the two countries are subordinated primarily to political goals. It should be noted that historically, the Azerbaijani people have had extensive international relations. The rich culture of the Azerbaijani people also attracted various states. The effective development of Ukrainian-Azerbaijani cultural ties in the modern period is a clear demonstration of the construction of the foreign policy of both states in accordance with the requirements of the time. Monitoring the development of humanitarian relations in this aspect has a certain political science relevance. A humanitarian policy in the context of bilateral cooperation of states in the context of globalization requires constant updating of the form and content of relations in this area of international relations. Therefore, both in Azerbaijan and Ukraine, new short-term and long-term projects are constantly being developed, agreements and cooperation agreements are concluded for the further development of relations between the two countries in various fields of the humanitarian sphere.

Published: January 2021

A pilot experiment was conducted to determine the nature of electro-dermal activity in a situation where a person evaluates several more or less close alternatives, choosing the most preferred one for him. We often find ourselves in such situations, choosing one or another product for purchase, which is a private copy of a certain category of goods. The final choice is influenced by many factors, both conscious (rational) and unconscious. In behavioral economics literature, the latter are often viewed as irrational components of choice. One cannot agree with this, if we take into account the fact that the unconscious contains, among other things, the whole experience acquired by a person in the process of his conscious activity. However, the question of the relationship between conscious and unconscious components in human behavior, in particular, being in a situation of choice, remains open. In the experiment described below, it was found out how objective (usually unconscious) indicators of choice correlate with those subjective assessments that accompany such a choice and which are reflected in behavioral, accessible to the awareness of human actions. The galvanic skin response (GSR, according to Feret) served as an indicator of the unconscious component of choice. The result of a conscious choice was recorded in the form of a mouse’s movement trajectory, controlled by the subject. The main conclusion is that the least preferred objects, the attractiveness of which is estimated to be significantly lower than the most preferred objects, cause stronger GSR, i.e. there is an inverse relationship between the amplitudes of the GSR and the estimates of the attractiveness of the objects. The hypothesis is formulated that the primary emotional response, reflected by unconscious visceral reactions, in the process of awareness is subjected to correction in the direction of positive values. Additional experiments are planned, including with the involvement of other indicators of emotional dynamics.

Children left without parental care and placed in institutional settings represent a particularly vulnerable group. In the absence of sufficient social interaction, children with experience of early deprivation demonstrate neural, social, and emotional deficits. In the present study, we use electroencephalographic (EEG) techniques to examine the functioning of the central nervous system in a sample of children living in institutions in a large city in Russia. The study involved 11 children with experience of institutional care and 11 matched children from biological families. Participants with experience of early deprivation demonstrated a decrease of spectral power in the theta and alpha bands compared to the comparison group. The decrease of spectral power in the delta, theta and alpha bands, which are closely related to cognitive and emotional processes, may reflect brain developmental patterns associated with early deprivation.

Authors: Vongphachanh Vilayphone , Ibrahim Khairunisah
Published: January 2021

Risk is classified into two types which are systematic risk and unsystematic risk. Unsystematic risk is known as a diversifiable risk that can be avoided or managed. On the other hand, systematic risk is the market-related risk which cannot be controlled or diversified away. Between these two types of risks, the systematic risk becomes the major concern of firms and investors as this type of risk cannot be avoided or diversified away, but need to be strategized and managed accordingly. The purpose of this study is to examine the main factors influence on the behavior of systematic risk in six industries of Thailand, the period of study is 15 years from 2002 to 2016 and consist of 372 non-financial listed firms. This study employs the panel data analysis, comprising of the random effect model (REM), fixed effect model (FEM), and pool ordinary least square (POLS). The overall findings show some common financial variables such as financial leverage, liquidity, firm size, firm growth, and profitability are considered as the main factors affecting systematic risk in Thai consumer goods, technology, telecommunication, utilities, and health care. However, Thai consumer service is reported as an insignificant relationship between financial variables and systematic risk. Apart from financial variables, there is an impact of the financial crisis (2009) on systematic risk in all industries. Findings in this study extent in the finance literature on systematic risk, different internal industries may have different factors influencing the behavior of systematic risk.

Authors: Pasha Khaled M.K. , El-Fawal Mohamed Mahmoud
Published: January 2021

It is required to investigate the economy of the performance of four suggested heat exchanger designs. The economy criteria are expressed by the ratio of the Nusselt number, Nu, and the pressure loss coefficient, ΔP∗. The four patterns are; rectangular, zigzag, spiral, and narrow-spiral. The air passages of each one of the four types have the same cross-section area and air passage length. Also, the inlet air temperature and flow rate for both; the air and water are the same in the four types. The narrow-spiral pattern has an equal passage thickness for both air and water. Reynolds number, Re, of values; 2535, 7606, 12677, 17748, 20284, 22819, 25355, (based on the hydraulic diameter of the cross-section) are investigated. For validation, the rectangular pattern type was checked experimentally, and the results were close to those of the prediction. For all values of the Reynolds number, the suggested narrow-spiral pattern exhibited the highest values of Nu/ΔP∗. At the Reynolds number of 25355, the ratio, Nu/ΔP∗ could achieve a value of about 15.74 for the narrow-spiral type. For each suggested pattern, (Nu/ΔP∗) and Re are correlated in a suitable formula.
The effectiveness of a rational, emotional, behavioral program in modifying the irrational thoughts related to the pressures of life for forced retirees
Authors: El-Nahhas Ahmed Saad Ahmed
Published: January 2021

Thinking includes cognitive processes implicit or explicit, or an internal mental perception of events or things, or a mental means by which a person deals with facts, things and events through the cognitive processes that are represented in the use of symbols, concepts and words. Thinking and style are its types, it is the outcome of interaction between several changes, such as an individual’s past, past experiences, ability to teach, level of education, level of education and social upbringing, cultural and civilizational factors and the influence of the surrounding environment. Work is one of the important factors that affect the life of a pensioner. Without it, the individual suffers from many social and psychological diseases, such as isolation, depression, anxiety, stress and fear. Work is the basis of respect for the individual and the respect of people for him, and the individual achieves many gratifications through his work, and when he loses it, he is exposed to many frustrated situations related to his inaction. Compulsory retirement is the second of the growth crises experienced by the individual after the crisis of adolescence. Compulsory retirement from work has become one of the most important problems facing them. Here, there are many studies that dealt with adaptation to retirement, which emphasized the importance of preparing for the post-retirement phase so that the individual avoids potential psychological disorders and to achieve a sound psychological and social harmony and a smooth transition to the retirement stage. Irrational thoughts come as a result of false cognitive precipitations in forced retirees, resulting in many socio-psychological problems, such as the problem of family relationships and a tendency to depression. Accordingly, the problem of the study was determined in a question: What is the effectiveness of a professional intervention program within the framework of strategies and methods of rational emotional-emotional-behavioral therapy in modifying the irrational thoughts related to the pressures of life for forced retirees?

Authors: Hassan Nabila S. , Abouelfadl Dalia M. , Abdel-Salam Omar M.E.
Published: January 2021

Vinpocetine is a drug that is widely used to treat vascular cognitive disorders in the old age. The drug has been shown to protect against hepatocellular damage caused by carbon tetrachloride in rats. In this study, vinpocetine was investigated for its ability to improve cholestatic hepatic injury and bone changes associated with bile duct ligation in rats. Rats with biliary obstruction induced by double ligation and section of the common bile duct were randomly and blindly assigned to receive either vinpocetine (2.1, 4.2, 8.4 mg/kg) or saline once a day orally, starting one day after surgery and continued for one month thereafter. At the end of the treatment period, rats were killed and analyzed for blood biochemistry, liver and bone histopathology. Compared to their sham-treated counterparts, bile duct-ligated (BDL) rats exhibited markedly elevated serum activities of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and alkaline phosphate (ALP) as well markedly raised serum bilirubin level. Histopathological examination of BDL rats revealed focal necrosis, degenerated hepatocytes, bile duct hyperplasia and inflammatory cell infiltrates. Histochemical staining using Feulgen and Periodic acid-Schiff’s (PAS) staining showed depletion of liver glycogen and markedly decreased deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) content in hepatocytes. Reduced osteocyte cellularity and few areas of regenerating bone were observed in BDL rats. The administration of vinpocetine to BDL rats resulted in dose-dependent decrease in serum ALT, AST, ALP activities by 33.6-64.4%, 17.5-43.9% and 26.5%-39.2%, respectively. Serum bilirubin decreased by 19% after 8.4 mg/kg of vinpocetine. The drug also resulted in amelioration of the pathological changes in the liver, increased glycogen and DNA content of hepatocytes and improved bone cellularity and increased bone regeneration dose-dependently. These findings suggest a beneficial effect for vinpocetine on liver damage and bone changes caused by biliary obstruction in rats.

Published: January 2021

Tourism has now become an important source of revenue for many countries in the world. The spillover from this booming and lucrative industry impacts positively the other sectors of the national economy in those countries. This situation is not only true in the advanced countries of the world, but also in the Muslim world. In this present study on Islamic tourism the researchers intend to investigate the definition, destination, purpose and ethical issues related to Islamic tourism. Very particularly, the study will focus on the situation in three of the Muslim countries situated in the region of Southeast Asia; namely Malaysia, Indonesia and Brunei. Driven by the passion to study on Islamic tourism, the researchers are interested to know the guiding principles set in these countries in contrast to others in the region. Apart from the crux of the investigation, on the peripheral, this study will also look into the topic of tourism from the Islamic ethical dimension, mainly referring to the Qur’an and Sunnah. As a qualitative study, the researchers will employ the library research approach in collecting the pertinent data related to the study. By using the textual-analysis method they will scrutinize data collected from online and print materials. It is hoped that this modest research can be a contribution in advancing Islamic tourism in the Malay Archipelago and elsewhere in the world. From this study, it could discovered initially that Islamic tourism is a huge opportunity for the Muslims in the region to develop further to tap the industry as well as to introduce the region with Muslim majority to the world. Enormous efforts have been done to promote and to develop the religious tourism in the region along with the conventional tourism generally and it had achieved significant results by attaining the top place in Islamic tourism industry. However a lot of works should be done such as the lack of standard facilities and promotions as well as the regional coordination in order to bring the religious industry to another level. It is necessary to expand the niche of Islamic tourism which is still below 20 percent out the conventional tourism industry largely.

Articulación de semántica y pragmática. Los dos principios subyacentes a todas las operaciones lingüísticas
Authors:   Universidad de Guadalajara, Iturrioz Leza José Luis , Martínez Sixto Ana Line ,   Universidad de Guadalajara
Published: January 2021

Semantics and pragmatics are two equally necessary operational components that act in a circular and complementary way at all levels of language organization. Languages function as dynamic systems because they are constituted not only by formal and abstract semantic rules, but also by pragmatic rules that co-articulate in verbal activity inherent meaning with practical knowledge and communicative situations. Languages use different techniques for the same function, for example for the apprehension of colors, sounds, smells and tastes. In some techniques such as specific labeling, predominant in wixárika, Spanish and German, the semantic component prevails, organizing in the lexicon extensive paradigms of specific terms that are loaded in memory, while other languages such as miˀphaa give preference to other techniques such as generic labeling based on inferential rules that act according to context. This implies strong consequences for lexicology, typology as well as for translation.

Authors: Mantoo Shahnawaz
Published: January 2021

Natural resources are fundamental and imperative for the existence and evolution of human civilizations. Water being most important scarce natural resource has become a contentious political issue in the world. South Asia being a less connected and conflict ridden region, Water related conflicts have been a dominant area of concern. At the time of independence, the boundary line between the two newly created independent countries, i.e. Pakistan and India was drawn right across the Indus Basin, leaving Pakistan as the lower riparian. Dispute thus arose between the two countries regarding the utilization of irrigation waters from existing facilities. The negotiations held under the World Bank, culminated in the signing of Indus Waters Treaty in 1960. The paper will examine the historical background of the treaty; the contentious developments which have arose over the years and will also discuss the Kashmir perspective on the treaty. The paper will also evaluate the present disagreeing arguments of both states over the treaty.

This article examines the influence of emotional-volitional sphere of doctor-residents of the Tver state medical University of Minzdrav of Russia (Tugma) on the process of adaptation to labor activity and development of professional medical identity. Undoubtedly, the activities of medical professionals are associated with a high level of tension, not only physically, but also psychologically, morally and emotionally. The work of a medic is closely related to interpersonal communication within the doctor-patient system, in which the emotional component plays an important role. The constructive nature of this interaction determines not only the success and effectiveness of the patient's healing process, but also the level of their quality of life. In this regard, the basic content components that affect the construction of professional identity of medical specialists are described. A psychodiagnostic study was conducted on the basis of the center for psychological support of TvSMU, aimed at establishing the relationship between the level of emotional intelligence and the selection of behavioral coping strategies in residents. The object of the study was residents of the 1st year of study in the number of 203 people. During the analysis and interpretation of the data, it was found that more than seventy percent of residents demonstrate a low level of emotional intelligence, the influence of which affects the choice of problem-oriented coping. Summarizing the results of the psychodiagnostic study, it can be stated that seventy-one percent of respondents experience difficulties in communicating with colleagues and patients, as well as in leveling possible conflict situations. Therefore, it is advisable to develop and conduct specialized socio-psychological training and individual psychological consultations aimed at correcting the adaptive potential of the individual and contributing to the development of the professional identity of residents.

This article presents an empirical study of the image of the teacher in the representation of modern students in the conditions of the educational process. The article substantiates the relevance of the study of the features of the teacher's perception by students. A wide review of the literature sources that reflect this issue is carried out. The purpose of this study is to generalize some of the results of the study of socio–pedagogical perception as an integral part of the educational process. The article reveals the features of social perception and its impact on the effectiveness of interaction between students and teachers in educational activities. The most significant qualities of the teacher for students are revealed both at the initial stage of communication with him, and in the process of further interaction. The most significant for students are such pedagogical qualities as the ability to transfer knowledge in an interesting way, professionalism in work, high intelligence, education and competence. Respondents assign an important role to the communicative qualities of the teacher (for example, the ability of the teacher to communicate and build friendly relations with students based on the principles of trust and partnership). The traditional role of the teacher as a translator of knowledge has been reduced. The role of the teacher as a professional person increases, which helps the student to develop a certain system of values and views. Use in the study of factor analysis allowed to reliably identify personal and professional qualities of the teacher relevant to the student, and describe the set of likely causal relationships between input variables. The main results of the study are presented in the tables. The results of the research can find further practical application in pedagogy, in pedagogical and social psychology, and are also necessary for the pedagogical improvement of the educational process.
SCIENTIFIC AND METHODOLOGICAL SUPPORT OF TEACHERS
Authors:   Saratov national research state university named after N. G. Chernyshevsky, Aleksandrova Ekaterina A.
Published: January 2021

Currently, there is a contradiction between the established traditions of edifying pedagogical mentoring of young teachers and their need for individual scientific and methodological support for the formation of the author's teaching style. The article considers options for scientific and methodological support of teachers: equal age-based cooperation, diverse edifying interaction, equal age-based interaction. It is shown that situations of compatibility, the process of finding a contradiction, observance of the principle of eventuality are important, which will lead to the formation of an author's research handwriting, a style of research activity among the young teachers. The stages of this process are proposed: the stage of reflective familiarization, active imitation, reflective selfknowledge, to form research behavior and author's style, acceptance and presentation of oneself in the new role of researcher/methodologist. Thus, the inevitability of meeting with new traditions, rituals, customs is consistently ensured; the young teacher has performed the first cultural tests of research/methodological behavior; understanding oneself in a new role, exploratory self-determination, and then accepting and presenting oneself in a new role as a researcher/methodist. The process of co-action of a mentor with a young teacher is described: organization of reflection; motivation to independently search for a research task or methodological reception, resources of their own research activities; included observation, readiness to provide pedagogical support, organization of reflection. The functions of the accompanying teacher are shown: facilitation, accompaniment and reflection. The tactics of scientific and methodological support (guardianship, care and protection; mentoring and cooperation; pedagogical assistance, support and real support) in the context of scientific and methodological support. The essence of the scientific and methodological support of teachers is described: creating motivating conditions for the formation of the author's style among teachers, providing various opportunities for professional expression and feeling satisfied with their work. The logic of scientific and methodological support has been clarified: through criticism – to doubt, to acceptance, cultural test, correction and secondary acceptance of oneself; from interaction with a mentor-master-tutor through compatibility and eventuality to independence and scientific and methodological authorship.

This article is devoted to the question of the Self-system role in the mental regulation of human states. It analyzes different approaches to the study of relationship between the structures of the Self-system and mental states of a person. The purpose of this work is to establish the relationship between the components of the Self-system and the level of effectiveness in self-regulation of students’ mental states. The research was carried out in three forms of educational activity, different in the tension level: at a lecture, a seminar and an exam. Here are shown the most typical mental states of students with different level of self-regulation efficiency in different forms of educational activity. It was revealed that students with a high level of self-regulation efficiency more intensively experience positive cognitive states, regardless of the educational activity intensity. It was found out that higher manifestations of positive components of selfattitude (self-confidence, self-worth) and lower indicators of internal conflict characterize students with high efficiency of mental states’ self-regulation and self-blame. It was revealed that students with a high level of self-regulation efficiency have a significantly higher level of expression of the self-system components. Were established the leading substructures of mental states and the self-system in each of the forms of students' educational activity. It was found out that in everyday forms of educational activity, the behavior indicator is of the greatest importance, and in a tense examination situation – somatic reactions and cognitive processes. It was shown that as the tension of the situation grows from lecture to exam, the role of the components of self-attitude in the regulation of both individual substructures and mental states of students’ increases.
