AbstractBeyond its implications for contempt, it remains to be determined whether the sentiment concept might be applied usefully to other domains of social affect. This commentary considers its applicability to the domain of parental caregiving. Characteristic features of sentiments are considered in conjunction with empirical research on the motivational psychology of parental care.

In the course of previous comprehensive theoretical, methodological and empirical research of the authors, the main purpose of which was to identify ways of internationalization of Polish and Ukrainian enterprises. It was noted that a new model of business functioning is emerging, significantly different from the traditional model, in which the phenomenon of globalization underlies the process of internationalization of economic activity. At the same time, it should be borne in mind that the problem of studying specific practices of interaction between business structures in Poland and Ukraine, paradoxically, as a whole, is given insufficient attention (both in Polish and Ukrainian economic science). This served as the inspiration for writing this study, the main goal of which is to identify the features of the modern business model on the background of identifying the differences between the traditional and the current model in the context of existing threats and to find out the main (one of the main) reasons for such differences. The introduction refers to the methodology used for this study (specific research methods are methods of unity of analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction and comparative analysis, as well as methods of grouping and extrapolation). The study is the result of the authors' own empirical research and a comparative theoretical analysis based on the literature on the topic, and is a common characteristic of both models. In general terms, the main features of the modern business model and trends in the European economy are presented on the example of Poland and Ukraine. Thus, the study is aimed at identifying trends in doing business in the modern market and its characteristic features in the context of the predicted increase in the role of factors of intercultural (transcultural) interaction in business.

The article is devoted to the problem of psychosocial well-being of internally displaced persons. The situation of forced internal migration conceals a large number of destructive influences on the psychosocial well-being of the individual. The process of adaptation of forced migrants is accompanied by high levels of stress and requires a large amount of psychological and social resources. In this regard, the research of psychosocial well-being of internally displaced persons is relevant to the scientific substantiation of psychosocial practice of assistance IDP. The purpose of the article is to reveal the peculiarities of the psychosocial well-being of internally displaced persons, which are based on the results of empirical research. The article presents the results of a theoretical and methodological analysis of the concept of psychosocial well-being of internally displaced persons. This concept is interpreted by the author as a multifactorial construct, which encompasses the individual psychological characteristics of internally displaced persons, their subjective attitude to the actual life situation, the nature of social interaction with others and economic factors of life activity. The results of empirical research aimed at identifying the characteristics of psychosocial wellbeing of internally displaced persons point to a reduced level of psychosocial well-being of internally displaced persons, reflected in the manifestations of the tendency to disadaptation. Characteristic features of internally displaced persons are the inability to establish close social contacts with others and emotional detachment and lowered sense of their value to society. The general emotional background of the IDP is at a reduced level and is characterized by tendencies towards negativism.

The paper substantiates the importance of studying the technical mindset of an engineer and finding the ways and means of forming this professionally important type of thinking in university students. The author reveals the essence and the three-component structure of the technical mindset and outlines its characteristic features (integration, creativeness, efficiency and reflexivity), which can serve as a tool for diagnosing the development level of the technical mindset in the study process. In the course of empirical research conducted on the basis of the Institute of Mechanical and Power Engineering named after V.P. Goryachkin, it was established that the development level of the technical mindset in students of all years is above average; the dynamics of results in different years of study is unstable; lecturers can poorly visualize the process of developing the technical mindset; students find it difficult to introspect the changes that occur in the study process. The conclusion is made about the need for an engineering university of purposeful and systematic work on the development of the technical mindset. The author proposes some ways of developing the technical mindset features in students in the classroom environment.

Empirical Methodology

The paper is a critical analysis of fundamental assumptions for the empirical research methodology in the jurisprudence field. It is aimed to compare the profile of empirical methodology with jurisprudence-dominant analytic philosophy. This is archived through a) examining the basic profile of the positivist attitude of a researcher along with assumptions integrating empiricism, which derives from the positivist methodology, into different philosophies of the law which specifically appeal to the naturalism of the legal phenomenon; next b) detailing characteristic features of empirical methods which take jurisprudence specifics into account; and finally c) coming to a set of conclusions concerning the success of research conducted this way in the jurisprudence field.

Shed Light

A necessary first step in collaboration between hypnosis research and meditation research is clarification of key concepts. The authors propose that such clarification is best advanced by neurophenomenological investigations that integrate neuroscience methods with phenomenological models based on first-person reports of hypnotic versus meditative experiences. Focusing on absorption, the authors argue that previous treatments of hypnosis and meditation as equivalent are incorrect, but that they can be fruitfully compared when characteristic features of the states described by these concepts are examined. To this end, the authors use the “phenomenological and neurocognitive matrix of mindfulness” (PNM), a multidimensional modelrecently proposed by Lutz and colleagues. The authors compare focused attention meditation and open monitoring meditation with hypnosis across the dimensions of the PNM, using it to interpret empirical research on hypnosis, and to shed light on debates about the role of meta-awareness in hypnosis and the role of suggestion in meditation.

The article presents the results of a study aimed at analyzing and comparing the psychological causes of cyber-aggression in adolescents living in a parent family and an orphanage. The empirical research is based K.S. Runions’s theory cyber-aggression [1]. K.S. Runions describes cyber-aggression of adolescents through their motivational goals and ability to behavioral self-control. Data collection was carried out using a Typological Questionnaire of cyber-aggression, a projective drawing "Man in the rain", and a Questionnaire for assessing the involvement of adolescents in Internet communication. The study involved 223 adolescents aged 10-17 (22% from orphanages. Participation in the study was voluntary, and everyone had the informed consent. The results show that adolescents raised in orphanages are more clearly prone to cyber-aggression, especially in the case of impulsive-aversive and controlled-appetitive forms. Adolescents, generally, are more willing to display appetitive forms of cyber-aggression; they are able to show aggression against other users for the sake of reward and entertainment. The results of the study showed that the tendency to cyber-aggression correlates with sociability and hostility of the world, and in adolescents from parental families with the need for communication, demonstrativeness and aggression in adolescents left without parental care.

Abstract Parental caregiving for older adults is a challenge to most families, not only because of intangible factors such as role-reversals in family dynamics, but due to the many practical difficulties involved. At the same time, family members are important sources of support and care even in wealthy countries with established and relatively efficient social services for the older population. For migrant families from East Asia, where adult children have emigrated while their parents have remained in the country of origin, the distance and the transnational nature of the family ties present additional complications to the challenge of providing parental care within a highly filial culture. In this qualitative study, first-generation Korean Americans were interviewed in open-ended, in-depth interviews about their experiences and concerns surrounding transnational parental caregiving. The results show that none of the study participants or their families plan for parental care. Although most respondents expressed concerns over potential future care needs of their parents, none of them had taken steps to address those concerns or discussed the matter with other family members, who were equally reticent to discuss it. This was even though many stated that they were specifically worried about how to care for their parents in times of need given that they lived far away in another country. The discussion explores why migrant families consistently avoid what they themselves acknowledge to be an important, even necessary, discussion their families ought to have.

Characteristic Features

One of the most characteristic features of cancer cells is their ability to metastasia. It is suggested that the modifications of the structure and properties of cancer cells surfaces play the main role in this process. The present work was aimed at finding out what ultrastructural features apear in tumor in vivo which removal of individual cancer cells from the cell population can provide. For this purpose the cellular interactions in the normal human thyroid and cancer tumor of this gland electron microscopic were studied. The tissues were fixed in osmium tetroxide and were embedded in Araldite-Epon.In normal human thyroid the most common type of intercellular contacts was represented by simple junction formed by the parallelalignment of adjacent cell membranees leaving in between an intermembranes space 15-20 nm filled with electronlucid material (Fig. 1a). Sometimes in the basal part of cells dilatations of the intercellular space 40-50 nm wide were found (Fig. 1a). Here the cell surfaces may form single short microvilli.

In the field of materials science, the importance of the ultrahigh resolution analytical electron microscope (UHRAEM) is increasing. A new UHRAEM which provides a resolution of better than 0.2 nm and allows analysis of a few nm areas has been developed. [Fig. 1 shows the external view] The followings are some characteristic features of the UHRAEM.Objective lens (OL)Two types of OL polepieces (URP for ±10' specimen tilt and ARP for ±30' tilt) have been developed. The optical constants shown in the table on the next page are figures calculated by the finite element method. However, Cs was experimentally confirmed by two methods (namely, Beam Tilt method and Krivanek method) as 0.45 ∼ 0.50 mm for URP and as 0.9 ∼ 1.0 mm for ARP, respectively. Fig. 2 shows an optical diffractogram obtained from a micrograph of amorphous carbon with URP under the Scherzer defocus condition. It demonstrates a resolution of 0.19 nm and a Cs smaller than 0.5 mm.
