Introduction. The present paper analyses the origination of the quantum psychology concept, its main proposition and features, which correspond to the status of marginal science (parapsychology). Particular attention is paid to psychological characteristics of the individuals who study parapsychological phenomena.
Theoretical Basis. In the second half of the 20th century postmodern changes have contributed to the decrease in the axiological status of science. Furthermore, Western scientific rationality has drawn near to Oriental mysticism. Discoveries in quantum mechanics have determined drastic changes in the view of the physical world. These discoveries were in contradiction with classical physics and common sense. Changes in the world view have been combined with postmodern transformations of science. The role of implicit knowledge, interpretative thinking, and the fundamental nonremovability of subjectivity in results of scientific knowledge has increased significantly.
The application of the quantum corpuscular-wave laws to brain and psychic activity was a theoretical basis for the concept of quantum psychology. The direct use (instead of metaphorical application) of quantum effects in psychology is groundless from the point of view of academic physics and psychology. According to psychological characteristics quantum psychology is a parapsychological field of psychic phenomena, as it recognizes transmission of information without known sense organs, as well as mental influence on physical objects. From a philosophical point of view the quantum concept of consciousness is a kind of contemporary physiological (physical) reductionism, which was defined as “vulgar materialism” in the past.
The study (a) analyses the reasons for a person to be interested in the paranormal, which results in the popularity of ideas of quantum psychology; (b) presents a classification of the psychological characteristics and motivation of the individuals interested in psychic phenomena; (c) highlights various negative consequences of a high social activity among authors of parapsychological concepts and practices.
Conclusion. Quantum psychology has no scientific grounds for being considered as a “normal” science. Nowadays theoretical and methodological grounds for quantum psychology are discussed. Quantum psychology is considered as a marginal science.

Authors: Kuz'min Mihail Ju. 
Published: July 2017

Introduction. The paper overviews various domestic and foreign approaches to identity and its dynamics in junior schoolchildren, teenagers, and adolescents. This paper is the first report on the place of integral identity with small groups in the identity system in the subjects of different ages, as well as the relationship between this component and an identity crisis.
Methodology. The study used Kuhn & McPartland’s Twenty Statements Test and Charles E. Osgood’s Semantic Differential.
Results. The results of a two-year study, which involved 902 persons, revealed a number of age and gender features of the dynamics of identity. Regardless the respondents’ gender, their self-assessment gradually decreased in the period between junior school age and adolescence. At the same time, the respondents often described their personality as a “complicated” one. Gender, family, and professional identities were the most prominent components of social identity in junior schoolchildren, teenagers, and adolescents. There were both gender and age specificity of the dynamics of these components. The study described a gradual increase in the social component of identity while its personal component decreased in junior school children and teenagers. Finally, the analysis of the dynamics of the integral identity with small groups showed that this component increased in junior schoolchildren and decreased in adolescents.
Discussion. The study findings were compared to the results of domestic (A. V. Mikljaeva, T. V. Rumjanceva, V. L. Sitnikov) and foreign (Z. Abdukeram, Ch. Tanti) research. The differences in the results may be explained by the difference in samples, as well as the approaches to the problem (foreign authors’ use a three-component model).
Conclusion. The integral identity with small groups plays a special role in the dynamics of teenager’s identity.

Introduction. Studying the determinants of socio-psychological adaptability and adaptive readiness, as well as their relationship, is an important issue of recent research. This study presents new data on predictors and the level of prediction of the person’s adaptability and adaptive readiness, the structural model with the ways for readiness to change, adaptation, the attitude to uncertain situations, and the person’s adaptability.
Methods. The study used the following techniques: (a) the estimation of the characteristics of tolerance to uncertainty by D. McClane in E. N. Osin’s modification; (b) the technique for diagnostics of socio-psychological adaptability by K. Rogers and R. Diamond in A. K. Osnitsky’s modification; (c) the developed original scales for the assessment of adaptive readiness and readiness to change. The study involved 75 women and men (men – 38 %, mean age – 26.8 years).
Results and Conclusion. The study presented the classification of the original set of parameters into groups and associations between them. Adaptive readiness, readiness to change, tolerance to uncertainty, and adaptability form a united symptom complex with complex cross-functional interrelations. On the basis of structural modeling the study revealed the ways for readiness to change, adaptation, the attitude to uncertain situations, and the person’s adaptability.
In conclusion: readiness to change mediates the relationship between adaptive readiness and the attitude to uncertainty. Adaptability, adaptive readiness and the attitude to uncertainty form a circular relationship. Socio-demographic characteristics form a complex of predictors of socio-psychological adaptability. They are not associated with adaptive readiness. The attitude to uncertainty reduces socio-demographic determination and plays a significant role in the formation of the person’s adaptability.

RAINFALL CHARACTERISTIC ON THE SLOPES OF MOUNT MERAPI REGION (Empirical Formula, Duration, Distribution, and Critical Line Woro River)
Authors: Laksana Pudak Juni 
Published: July 2017

Debris flow on the slopes of Mount Merapi area became a serious natural disasters because it has great destructive force and velocity. Rainfall with a certain intensity and duration is one component triggering debris flow. Rainfall has variability of the temporal and spatial characteristics influenced by various factors, such as topography and climate. Dharma (2012) suggested to define the characteristics of the intensity of rainfall using rainfall data with a shorter duration with statistical tests to establish the best empirical IDF formula. This research was using of 30 minutes rainfall data for short duration (<3 hours) and a spreadsheet software representing duration and distribution of the rainfall. The most appropriate rainfall intensity formula was done by the empirical IDF formula, i.e. Sherman, Kimijima, Hasper and Mononobe. Rainfall intensity analysis applied Frequency Analysis Software (based on Microsoft Excel). Debris flow occurrence was analyzed using MLIT for method A to establish standard rainfall index. Sherman formula performed the best fit to the IDF characteristics of rainfall in the region of the slopes of Mount Merapi. Rainfall distribution pattern showed high intensity rainfall in the first hour and then decreased in the next hour which means distribution for the duration of 3 hours, 12%, 28%, 25%, 16%, 12%, and 7%, respectively with an interval of 30 minutes. Based on critical line, 5 mm of standard rainfall index was gained in the case of warning (R1) and 28 mm in the case of evacuation (R2).

AbstractThis article discusses the police’s authority to stop ongoing criminal investigation, i.e. by the issuance of an Instruction Letter to Cease Criminal Investigation and how it is at present used in practice. This article is based on a legal reseach conducted on the basis of a legal dogmatic and socio-legal (criminal procedural and administrative law) approach. The research conducted reveals that the police enjoy great discretionary powers when deciding how and when to discontinue criminal investigations. The use of this power is regulated internally outside the purviews of the general public. In practice the police’s discretionary power to decide on the basis of its own wisdom is prone to be used for other social-political or even short term economic interest. IntisariTulisan ini membahas kewenangan diskresioner penyidik dari Kepolisian untuk menghentikan penyidikan melalui penerbitan Surat Perintah Penghentian Penyidikan (SP3) serta penggunaannya dalam praktik. Tulisan ini didasarkan pada penelitian hukum yang menggunakan pendekatan yuridis normatif (dogmatis) dan socio-legal di bidang hukum acara pidana dan hukum administrasi. Penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa penyidik menikmati kewenangan diskresioner yang sangat luas untuk menentukan kapan dan bagaimana penyidikan dihentikan. Penggunaan kewenangan ini diatur melalui peraturan-peraturan internal yang pelaksanaannya berada di luar pengawasan masyarakat umum. Dalam praktiknya bagaimana kewenangan ini digunakan atas dasar kebijakan penyidik seringkali dilandaskan pada tujuan mencapai ragam tujuan sosial-politik bahkan tujuan ekonomi jangka pendek.

Published: July 2017

Sixteen fungal strains isolated from the Erigeron canadensis, one of traditional Chinese medicines used to treat the pathogenic infection and dysentery, were evaluated for their antifungal activities against one human pathogen Candida albicans, and two phytopathogens, Colletotrichum fructicola and Rhizoctonia cerealis. The bioassay results indicated that the ethyl acetate extract of the fermentation broth of these fungal endophytes had stronger antimicrobial activities. Among these endophytic strains, the ethyl acetate extracts of strains NPR003 and NPR005 showed the strongest inhibitory effects and has potential application in the discovery of new antifungal agents. This was the first report on the isolation of endophytic fungi from E. canadensis and evaluation of their antifungal activities.

Authors: Haugen Ida K. , Magnusson Karin , Turkiewicz Aleksandra , Englund Martin 
Published: July 2017

Objective.To estimate the extent that overweight/obesity, smoking, and alcohol are associated with prevalence and longitudinal changes of radiographic hand osteoarthritis (OA).Methods.Participants from the Osteoarthritis Initiative (n = 1232) were included, of whom 994 had 4-year followup data. In analyses on incident hand OA, only persons without hand OA at baseline were included (n = 406). Our exposure variables were overweight/obesity [body mass index (BMI), waist circumference], smoking (current/former, smoking pack-yrs), and alcohol consumption (drinks/week). Using linear and logistic regression analyses, we analyzed possible associations between baseline exposure variables and radiographic hand OA severity, erosive hand OA, incidence of hand OA, and radiographic changes. Analyses were adjusted for age, sex, and education.Results.Neither overweight nor obesity were associated with hand OA. Current smoking was associated with less hand OA in cross-sectional analyses, whereas longitudinal analyses suggested higher odds of incident hand OA in current smokers (OR 2.20, 95% CI 1.02–4.77). Moderate alcohol consumption was associated with higher Kellgren-Lawrence sum score at baseline (1–3 drinks: 1.55, 95% CI 0.43–2.67) and increasing sum score during 4-year followup (4–7 drinks: 0.33, 95% CI 0.01–0.64). Moderate alcohol consumption (1–7 drinks/week) was associated with 2-fold higher odds of erosive hand OA, which was statistically significant. Additional adjustment for BMI gave similar strengths of associations.Conclusion.Overweight/obesity were not associated with hand OA. Contrasting results were observed for smoking and hand OA, suggesting lack of association. Moderate alcohol consumption was associated with hand OA severity, radiographic changes, and erosive hand OA, warranting further investigation.

Objective.Patients with polymyositis/dermatomyositis (PM/DM) who express anti-melanoma differentiation associated protein 5 (anti-MDA5) antibodies frequently present with interstitial lung disease (ILD). The aim of this study was to investigate the association of HLA-DRB1 with anti-MDA5 expression in PM/DM.Methods.The frequency of DRB1 alleles was compared among 70 patients with PM, 104 patients with DM, and 400 healthy controls in a Han Chinese population.Results.Frequencies of DRB1*04:01 [17.0% vs 1.3%, corrected p value (pc) = 3.8 × 10−8, OR 16.2, 95% CI 6.6–39.7] and *12:02 (42.6% vs 19.3%, pc = 0.008, OR 3.1, 95% CI 1.7–5.7) were significantly higher in anti-MDA5–positive patients with PM/DM compared with the controls. The frequencies of DRB1*04:01 (p = 5.2 × 10−6, OR 17.1, 95% CI 5.3–54.9) and *12:02 (p = 3.8 × 10−4, OR 3.1, 95% CI 1.7–5.7) in anti-MDA5–positive patients with DM-ILD were higher than in the controls, whereas the frequencies of DRB1*04:01 and *12:02 did not differ between the anti-MDA5–negative patients with DM-ILD and controls. No difference in the frequency of DRB1 alleles, other than *04:01, carrying the “shared epitope” (SE), i.e., *01:01, *01:02, *04:05, and *10:01, was observed between the controls and patients with DM stratified by the presence of anti-MDA5 and ILD.Conclusion.DRB1*04:01 and *12:02 confer susceptibility to anti-MDA5 antibody production in DM, which cannot be explained by the SE hypothesis.

Objective.Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is involved in polymyositis/dermatomyositis (PM/DM), a disease associated with poor prognoses. Chitinase-3-like-1 protein (YKL-40) has pleiotropic biological activities involved in inflammation, cell proliferation, and tissue remodeling; however, the clinical application of YKL-40 remains limited. We investigated the clinical significance of YKL-40 in PM/DM–ILD.Methods.Sixty-nine consecutive patients with PM/DM–ILD and 34 healthy controls were analyzed. We measured baseline and followup serum YKL-40 using an ELISA, evaluated the association of YKL-40 with clinical variables and survival, and examined YKL-40 expression in lung specimens from patients with PM/DM–ILD using immunohistochemistry.Results.Serum YKL-40 levels were significantly greater in patients with PM/DM–ILD compared with healthy controls (p < 0.0001). Serum YKL-40 was correlated with arterial oxygen pressure (r = –0.40, p < 0.001) and percent-predicted DLCO (r = –0.41, p = 0.01) in patients with PM/DM–ILD. Multivariate Cox hazard analysis demonstrated that higher serum YKL-40 and lower percent-predicted forced vital capacity were independently associated with a poor prognosis. Immunohistochemistry analysis demonstrated that YKL-40 expression was enhanced in aggregated intraalveolar macrophages and hyperproliferative alveolar epithelial cells in patients with PM/DM–ILD.Conclusion.YKL-40 is a promising biomarker for evaluating PM/DM–ILD activity/severity and predicting disease prognosis. Insights into YKL-40 might help elucidate the pathogenesis of PM/DM–ILD.
