Introduction. Maintaining student psychological health is a strategic problem faced by the Ukrainian society. This problem is sensitive to the influences of civilization, as well as social and psychological factors, which makes it necessary to study student psychological health and develop measures to optimize it. Psychological health is associated with individuals stress resistance, harmony and spirituality. The authors treat psychological health in accordance with the systemic approach as a dynamic complex system that ensures the integrity of the individual and is a prerequisite for their active lifestyle, effective interaction with the environment and self-realization. Individuals integrity is key to identifying their activity, initiative and individuality. The aim of the study: to identify the components of Ukrainian studentsʼ psychological health and these components quantitative values. Research methods. The authors used a set of instruments for studying the components of student psychological health. Results. Student psychological health was found to be made up of the cognitive, emotional, behavioral and value-motivational components, whose quantitative manifestations were described in the article. In particular, it was found that every third respondent had low self-esteem, self-understanding and self-liking, which are the components of the cognitive component of psychological health, with fairly high integrated self-esteem, self-interest and reflexivity. A significant part of the respondents was shown to have low ability to control their emotions and self-motivate as well as to have difficulties in recognizing the emotions of others (emotional component). On the other hand, most students were well-adjusted in socially and psychologically and quite stress-resistant. The value-motivational component of student psychological health was quite developed. It is advisable to improve students ability to set their goals in life, enjoy life, and make sense of life. Conclusions. The obtained data are important for the organization of effective student psychological support in order to preserve their psychological health.

It was found that a significant number of the staff of the State Employment Service of Ukraine had low level of emotional intelligence, which had certain relationships with staff's gender, age, work experience and profession-relevant characteristics. Conclusions. Underdeveloped emotional intelligence and its components among the staff of the State Employment Service of Ukraine can negatively affect their work performance. A special emotional intelligence development training program designed in line with this research findings can promote State Employment Service of Ukraine staff's work efficiency in stressful work conditions.
Jewish religious communities in Kuban and Terek regions at the second half of the XIX - the beginning of the XX centuries
Authors: Norkina Ekaterina
Published: November 2020

The article is devoted to the history of the formation and features of the functioning of Jewish religious institutions outside the Pale of Settlement in the second half of the XIXth — early XXth centuries. The study is based on the materials of the Kuban and Terek regions, which had a somewhat different administrative and political structure from most other regions. Historically, the peculiarities of these areas influenced the policy of the authorities in towards the Jews, which influenced the activities of rabbis and synagogues. Despite the fact that the activities of rabbis and synagogues were constantly interrupted due to a number of external circumstances, members of local Jewish societies actively engaged in dialogue with the authorities and sought to revive religious buildings to life. Even small communities of Kuban and Terek tried to support their religious institutions and preserve the traditions of Judaism.

POSITIVES AND NEGATIVES OF THE STEADY STATE AND BIG BANG THEORIES IN THE 21ST CENTURY
Authors: Bartlett Rodney
Published: November 2020

This novel hypothesis uses mathematics in the form of topology. The goal: to establish a “proof of concept” to which equations can be added, by anyone. It’s concluded the Steady State, Big Bang, Inflation and Multiverse theories all ultimately fail and a topological model including bits (binary digits), Mobius strips, figure-8 Klein bottles and Wick rotation works better. The failed cosmologies have impressive good points leading to the idea that they’re all necessary stepping-stones. For example, the Big Bang is seen here as violation of the 1st Law of Thermodynamics but its supposed origin from quantum fluctuations is reminiscent of bits switching between 1 and 0. The topological hypothesis has potential to explain dark matter (DM), dark energy (DE) and electromagnetic-gravitational union. This model predicts (1) the universe’s nature is binary and topological, (2) antigravitons are the quanta of dark energy, (3) dark energy has no connection with the expanding universe since there never was, nor will be, expansion or contraction (dark energy comprises dark matter – in some dimensions, dark matter’s being composed of dark energy will follow DE=DMc^2: in others, it won’t), (4) immortality, and (5) imprints in the Cosmic Microwave Background from gravitational waves will oneday be detected unambiguously and not interpreted as evidence of inflation. The article “post-dicts” Special Relativity’s time dilation as well as existence of both curvature and flatness in space-time. Finally, the article introduces what is called vector-tensor-scalar geometry - and extensions of Einstein's Gravity and Maxwell's Electromagnetism.

A summary of drugs targeting enzymes
Authors: Seetharaman Rajmohan , Advani Manjari
Published: November 2020

Enzymes act as biological catalysts in living organisms, by regulating the rate of chemical reactions, without themselves being altered in the process. Enzymes act as a target for drugs for the desired therapeutic effect, which are thereby called biological targets. Enzymes offer unique opportunities for drug design that are not available to cell surface receptors, nuclear hormone receptors, ion channels, transporters. Drugs that function as enzyme inhibitors constitute a significant portion of the orally bioavailable therapeutic agents that are in clinical use today. Likewise, much of drug discovery and development efforts at present are focused on identifying and optimizing drug candidates that act through inhibition of specific enzyme targets. Drugs acting on enzymes can either inhibit them or activate them. Inhibition of enzymes is a strategy which is more commonly used rather than activation of enzymes. 47% of all current drugs inhibit their enzyme targets. Enzyme activity can not only be inhibited; it can also be accelerated through biochemical modification of the enzyme. In this manuscript, the authors provide a system-wise summary of drugs acting on enzymes, microsomal enzymes targeted by drug and newly approved drugs acting on enzymes.

Nipah (Nypa fruticans Wurmb.) fruit as a potential natural antioxidant source
Authors: Hermanto H , Mukti R C , Pangawikan A D
Published: November 2020

Nipah is one of mangrove plant that grows in coastal areas. South Sumatra province has a region with a watershed which is overgrown with nipah plants. Until now, nipah fruit has a low economic value because of the lacks of knowledge about the processing techniques of nipah fruit and the lacks of scientific attention which cover up the potential of nipah fruit as a functional food. This study aims to reveal the potential of nipah fruit, especially as natural antioxidants source. Total phenolics content (TPC) and antioxidant activities of Nypa fruticans fruit extracts (ripe and unripe) have been analyzed. Fruit extract from unripe nipah fruits (FEUN) got the highest phenolics content (121.3 ± 3.3 mg GAE/g). Radical scavenging activity of FEUN, assessed by 1,1–diphenyl–2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radicals showed inhibitory activity about 81 ± 3.1%RSA. Hopefully, this research could reveal the potential of nipah fruit as a potential source of natural antioxidant.
Carnal Pleasures
Authors: Nummenmaa Lauri , van dillen lotte
Published: November 2020

Of all the human emotions, pleasures are most tightly intertwined with the body. Pleasures including sex, feeding and social touch originate from somatosensory and gustatory processing, and pleasant emotions also markedly influence bodily states tied to the reproductive and digestive system to the skeletomuscular and endocrine systems. Here we review recent research on bodily pleasures, focussing on consummatory sensory pleasures. We discuss how different pleasures have distinct sensory inputs and behavioural outputs and review the data on the role of the somatosensory and interoceptive systems in social bonding. Finally, we discuss the role of gustatory pleasures in feeding and obesity, and the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms. We conclude that different pleasures have distinct inputs and specific outputs, and that their regulatory functions should be understood in light of these specific profiles in addition to generic reward mechanisms.
Avoiding pitfalls: Bayes factors can be a reliable tool for post hoc data selection in implicit learning
Authors: Leganes-Fonteneau Mateo , Scott Ryan Bradley , Duka Theodora , Dienes Zoltan
Published: November 2020

Research on implicit processes has revealed problems with awareness categorizations based on non-significant results. Moreover, post-hoc categorizations result in regression to the mean (RTM), by which aware participants are wrongly categorized as unaware. Using Bayes factors to obtain sensitive evidence for participants’ lack of knowledge may deal with non-significance being non-evidential but also may prevent regression-to-the-mean effects. Here we examine the reliability of a novel Bayesian awareness categorization procedure.Participants completed a reward learning task followed by a Flanker task measuring attention towards conditioned stimuli. They were categorized as B_Aware and B_Unaware of stimulus-outcome contingencies, and those with insensitive Bayes factors were deemed B_Insensitive. We found that performance for B_Unaware participants was below chance level using unbiased tests. This was further confirmed using a resampling procedure with multiple iterations, contrary to the prediction of RTM effects. Conversely, when categorizing participants using t-tests, t_Unaware participants showed RTM effects. We also propose a group boundary optimization procedure to determine the threshold at which regression to the mean is observed. Using Bayes factors instead of t-tests as a post-hoc categorization tool allows evaluating evidence of unawareness, which in turn helps avoid RTM. The reliability of the Bayesian awareness categorization procedure strengthens previous evidence for implicit reward conditioning. The toolbox used for the categorization procedure is detailed and made available. Post-hoc group selection can provide evidence for implicit processes; the relevance of RTM needs to be considered for each study and cannot simply be assumed to be a problem.
Nonreligion, Atheism, & Mental Health
Authors: Farias Miguel , Coleman Thomas Joseph
Published: November 2020

Based on the well-established link between religiosity and positive mental health outcomes, it has been argued that nonreligiosity is a health liability. However, most of this research suffers from methodological problems that limit their generalizability to nonreligious populations, such as atheists and agnostics. In the current chapter, we draw attention to these methodological issues, and argue in favor of a richer conceptualization of nonreligion than has been theorized in previous literature. We further review recent work from various countries around the world, which challenges the notion that nonreligiosity presents a health risk, finding instead that the nonreligious experience similar levels of health and wellbeing benefits as the religious. We end by briefly discussing the limitations and recent backlash at this literature, while suggesting that the study of the nonreligious may transform how we understand the interaction between beliefs, rituals, and health.
Compersion: When Jealousy-inducing Situations Don’t (Just) Induce Jealousy
Authors: Balzarini Rhonda Nicole , McDonald James , Kohut Taylor , Lehmiller Justin J , Holmes Bjarne Moon , Harman Jennifer Jill
Published: November 2020

Emotional reactions to a partner’s extradyadic romantic interests are assumed to be negative and characterized by jealousy, an emotional state that arises over a perceived threat to one’s relationship. Yet, reactions may also be positive, and involve compersion, or taking joy in one's partner's pleasure in other sexual and relational encounters. Although some have argued that compersion is the opposite of jealousy, research has shown that compersion and jealousy are not opposing constructs, despite being treated this way in both theoretical and empirical research. Using a convenience sample of polyamorous (N = 3,530) and monogamous (N = 1,358) individuals we draw on theories of jealousy, emotional ambivalence, and emotional forecasting to examine people’s anticipated affective responses to hypothetical situations involving a partner’s extradyadic relations, and assess whether experience with having a partner engage in extradyadic relations was associated with anticipating less jealousy and more compersion. Results suggest that people in polyamorous relationships report less jealousy and more compersion with their partners, and that personal experience involving a partner’s extradyadic romantic interests predicted more compersion and less jealousy, with experience predicting greater increases in compersion among monogamous than polyamorous participants. Finally, while anticipated compersion was associated with greater relationship satisfaction, neither jealousy nor ambivalence were associated with relationship satisfaction. These results further demonstrate that individuals can experience both positive and negative reactions to a partner’s extradyadic relations, both based on actual experience and projection of responses to future events, and that real-life experiences are important in anticipating these emotions.

Published: November 2020

Categorical mental disorders are being recognized as suboptimal targets in clinical neuroscience due to poor reliability as well as high rates of heterogeneity within, and comorbidity between, mental disorders. As an alternative to the case-control approach, recent studies have focused on the relationship between neurobiology and latent dimensions of psychopathology. The current study aimed to investigate the relationship between brain structure and psychopathology in the critical preadolescent period when psychopathology is emerging. This study included baseline data from the Adolescent Brain and Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study® (n = 11,721; age range = 9-10 years; male = 52.2%). General psychopathology, externalizing, internalizing, and thought disorder dimensions were based on a higher-order model of psychopathology and estimated using Bayesian plausible values. Outcome variables included global and regional cortical volume, thickness, and surface area. Higher levels of psychopathology across all dimensions were associated with lower volume and surface area globally, as well as widespread and pervasive alterations across the majority of cortical and subcortical regions studied, after adjusting for sex, race/ethnicity, and parental education. The relationships between general psychopathology and brain structure were attenuated when adjusting for cognitive functioning. There was evidence of a relationship between externalizing psychopathology and frontal regions of the cortex that was independent of general psychopathology. The current study identified lower cortical volume and surface area as transdiagnostic biomarkers for general psychopathology in preadolescence. The widespread and pervasive relationships between general psychopathology and brain structure may reflect cognitive dysfunction that is a feature across a range of mental illnesses.

Clinical psychological science is a field committed to reducing the negative impact of psychiatric illness through innovative research and psychological treatments. Unfortunately, the impact of racial injustices that pervade American society and permeate our academic institutions is felt not only by the individuals who work in our departments as faculty, staff, and students, but also by those who seek our services as mental health providers. Representing the collective work of numerous graduate students and postdoctoral trainees from multiple institutions, this call to action instantiates the need for prompt and consistent efforts towards dismantling institutionalized racism and inequity in clinical science. Specifically, we articulate the multiple roles our field plays in perpetuating racial oppression and outline concrete demands and recommendations for structural reform in the following key areas: (1) the mental health needs of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) students, (2) clinical training and supervision, (3) curriculum and pedagogical approaches, (4) research and methods, and (5) the recruitment, retention, and success of graduate students and faculty.
Analysis of L-Shape Building with Lift Core at Different Locations And Its Torsional Effect
Authors: Adhikari Sushil , Katuwal Tek Bahadur , Thapa Dipak , Lamichhane Suraj , Adhikari Dhurba
Published: November 2020

In L-shape building, lift core wall is an important element for strengthening the structure of high seismic zone area. Seismic zone V is considered for most of the buildings in Nepal, which will cause maximum base shear to the structure. This study focuses the use of lift core in five and ten-storey building to resist the seismic forces, and the effect of the lift core is also taken into consideration. Based on the location of the lift core, these building are further subdivided into different models; Lift at outer corner (model 1), lift at lower edge corner (model 2), lift at upper edge corner (model 3), lift at lower and upper edge corner (model 4), lift at inner corner (model 5), and lift at inner and outer corner (model 6). Equivalent static method and response spectrum analysis was used for the analysis. The structural responses were measured in terms of modal periods, displacement, drift ratio, and torsional irregularities. Results from this study indicate that building with lift core wall at inner and outer (model 6) and lift at lower and upper edge corner (model 4) shows the minimum drift ratio, torsional irregularities, displacement and natural time period which lies within permissible limit of torsional irregularities. Hence, it can be concluded that the location of the lift core affects the torsion of an L-shape plan asymmetric building. Designing two lift core at the inner and outer corner (model 6) and lower and upper edge corner (model 4) is found to be effective in reducing the torsion.
Comparison of Interstorey Drift in General RC Buildings in Pounding and No Pounding Case

Published: November 2020

Inter-storey drift is an important parameter of structural behavior in seismic analysis of buildings. Pounding effect in building simply means collision between adjacent buildings due to earthquake load caused by out of phase vibration of adjacent buildings. There is variation in inter-storey drift of adjacent buildings during pounding case and no pounding case.

The main objective of this research was to compare the inter-storey drift of general adjacent RC buildings in pounding and no pounding case. For this study two adjacent RC buildings having same number of stories have been considered. For pounding case analysis there is no gap in between adjacent buildings and for no pounding case analysis there is sufficient distance between adjacent buildings.

The model consists of adjacent buildings having 4 and 4 stories but unequal storey height. Both the buildings have same material & sectional properties. Fast non-linear time history analysis was performed by using El-centro earthquake data as ground motion. Adjacent buildings having different overall height were modelled in SAP 2000 v 15 using gap element for pounding case. Finally, analysis was done and inter-storey drift was compared. It was found that in higher building inter-storey drift is greater in no pounding case than in pounding case but in adjacent lower height building the result was reversed. Additionally, it was found that in general residential RC buildings maximum inter-storey drift occurs in 2nd floor.

Ni-based brazing coatings with tungsten or chromium carbides are used for wear and corrosion protection in various applications. Steam turbine blades especially present a highly stressed application in which in particular the resistance to erosion and corrosion is essential. Therefore, novel tape architectures of brazed coatings have been developed and investigated within this study. In contrast to the use of powders, the application by means of tapes offers a high potential with regard to later use in industry due to the reproducible handling and automation. In this work, different coating systems were successfully deposited by means of vacuum brazing on X12CrNiMo-12 steel substrate. In order to achieve a sufficient fracture toughness of the coatings, pure nickel powder was added to the tapes. The influence of this additive on the mechanical properties was analyzed by means of three-point bending tests. A positive effect has been observed when adding a volume fraction of φ(Ni) = 25% of nickel, increasing the flexural strength up to σf = 580 MPa. Furthermore, the surface hardness of the coating has been analyzed depending on coating architecture and post-deposition treatment by grinding.

A pouca difusão da experimentação no Ensino Médio é uma das dificuldades associadas ao ensino de Física Moderna. O Efeito Fotoelétrico é um dos fenômenos mais importantes e, igual a outros fenômenos dessa área do conhecimento, não é passível de observação direta. Pesquisas do Ensino de Ciências mostram que a demonstração e a construção experimentais são essenciais para contemplar os diferentes perfis dos estudantes. Diante disso, o presente artigo propôs o desenvolvimento de um objeto didático, com materiais de baixo custo, destinado a discussões relativas ao Efeito Fotoelétrico. No desenvolvimento do instrumento, utilizou-se, além de componentes básicos da eletrônica, uma placa de prototipagem, minipainéis solares e resistores com resistência elétrica dependente da luz incidente. O presente artigo apresenta os procedimentos experimentais e os resultados, indicando que o objeto didático pode servir de suporte para discussões acerca do Efeito Fotoelétrico.

Relevance. Polysaccharide vaccine quality assessment must, on the one hand, comply with modern domestic and international regulatory documents, and on the other hand, reflect the characteristics of newly developed drugs. The list of drugs registered on the Russian market is constantly expanding due to the development of new effective vaccines and the introduction of new production sites. Thus, the expert requirements for assessing the quality of these drugs and the information content of the documents submitted as part of the registration dossier need to be updated.

Aims. The aim is to update the expert assessment of quality in preclinical and clinical studies of polysaccharide vaccines, as well as to revise the evaluation of quality parameters depending on the composition and structure of the finished product.

Conclusions. We highlight the key problematic aspects of assessing the protective properties of purified polysaccharides: in particular, the problems related to the natural immunity of animals to diseases caused by bacterial species that are relevant to humans and, as a result, the lack of an adequate experimental model. Modern trends in the characterization and subsequent confirmation of the structure authenticity of purified and conjugated polysaccharides are taken into account. An analysis of the latest international and domestic pharmacopoeial requirements for the quality of polysaccharide vaccines is carried out. The disadvantages of selected methodological approaches to the evaluation of quality parameters such as «Identification» and «Molecular mass distribution» are noted. It is shown that it is necessary to generate recommendations for the examination of polysaccharide vaccines which would unify the recommendations for completing registration dossiers and forming specification files by taking into account each individual peculiarity of this type of drugs.

Relevance. According to expert estimates, tens of thousands of people die every year from rabies infection, mainly in Asia and Africa, for whom the main source of transmission of the virus is dogs.

The purpose of the work is to establish the epidemiological characteristics of rabies infection in Belarus from 2013 to 2018 in the absence of cases of rabies among the population. Materials and methods. A retrospective epidemiological analysis of treatment demand for anti-rabies medical care (ARMС), analysis of data on an epizootic situation was applied.

Results and discussion. The population treatment demand for ARMС ranged from 209.60/0000 to 227.20/0000 and was characterized by higher rates 1.6–1.7 times (P ≤ 0.05) among people under the age of 18. The results of monitoring the epizootic situation of rabies revealed that among all wild animals the proportion of «fox» rabies was 80.7%, while 94.4% of the patients were injured by dogs and cats. In 2018 has increased in 3.3 times (P ≤ 0.02) the frequency of treatment persons with the 3rd damage category and in 1.6 increase (P ≤ 0.05) in the proportion of rabies of farm animals in the structure of the reasons for applying for ARMС in comparison with 2013.

Conclusion. In Belarus, the relevance of the problem of rabies infection is determined by the activity of the epizootic process, the consistently high treatment demand for ARMС, the events of contacts of the population, including mass, with rabies animals, the annual increase in the frequency of registration of the 3rd category of damage, as well as refusals of immunization and spontaneous interruption of preventive immunization by patients.
