The paper presents the context in which the closure of the mining in the Maramureş county took place by carrying out some inappropriate works that generated phenomena with a strong environmental impact through manifestations, physical and chemical in nature. The analysis performed so far shows that these events will amplify the environmental impact on the public health in the future, with long-term consequences.

The article attempts to explain the low life expectancy in Russia, especially among men. It is shown that negative investments in health capital, in particular, smoking and refusal to exercise, are the main reason for this phenomenon. A hypothesis is being tested that the most important reason for smoking and neglecting sports is the people’s reluctance to calculate the long-term consequences of their decisions. This reluctance can be described by the concept of investment myopia. This term is understood as the exclusion from consideration of future results, beginning with a certain threshold moment of time. Investment myopia is considered as the most important consequence of disbelief in the future, which, in turn, can be generated by pessimism, uncertainty or ingrained psychology of the “provisional ruler”.

Recent findings show that experience with a syntactic structure has long-term consequences for how that structure will be processed in the future, which suggests linguistic representations are not static entities that can be reliably probed without alteration. Thus, leveraging the effect of previous exposure to a syntactic structure appears to be an inappropriate method for studying invariant properties of language.

ABSTRACT Analysts ask managers for forward-looking information in one-third of quarterly conference calls; most frequently, seeking earnings per share guidance. In this study, we examine the long-term consequences of analysts' questions on future manager disclosure choices. Using six types of commonly provided guidance, we find that when analysts request new guidance or ask about prior guidance, managers are more likely to provide similar guidance in future quarters. When analysts do not ask about prior guidance, managers are less likely to provide that type of guidance in the future. This effect is long-lasting, spills over into earnings announcements, and is strongest for firms with the most severe information problems. Our results provide evidence that analysts shape managers' disclosure choices in meaningful ways.

AbstractDigital assistants engage with us with increasingly human-like conversations, including the expression of human emotions with such utterances as “I am sorry…”, “I hope you enjoy…”, “I am grateful…”, or “I regret that…”. By 2021, digital assistants will outnumber humans. No one seems to stop to ask if creating more digital companions that appear increasingly human is really beneficial to the future of our species. In this essay, we pose the question: “How human should computer-based human-likeness appear?” We rely on the philosophy of humanness and the theory of speech acts to consider the long-term consequences of living with digital creatures that express human-like feelings. We argue that feelings are the very substance of our humanness and therefore are best reserved for human interaction.

Chapter 9 of Unified Protocol for Transdiagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders: Workbook looks at another part of our emotional experiences—emotional behaviors, which refer to the things we do to manage our emotions. This chapter presents skills to help us identify and evaluate our emotional behaviors by examining both the short term and long term consequences of these actions. In general, unhelpful emotional behaviors provide short term relief from strong emotions but set us up to experience even more strong emotions in the future. Lastly, we learn to counter unhelpful emotional behaviors by replacing current emotional behaviors with new, alternative behaviors, a skill called choosing an Alternative Action.

Disorders of the nonpsychotic level, which are accompanied by various manifestations of the syndromological picture, require due attention during the diagnostic process: in nonpsychotic mental disorders, it is always necessary to actively found comorbid disorders, therefore, in case of other disorders, it is necessary to remember the possibilities of developing this pathology, which is often hidden behind the mask related problems or violations. The special relevance of the study of these mental disorders is associated with the tendency to chronize the process and fix the symptoms in the form of persistent changes in the person, and also that when properly applied, issues of prevention of conflict situations associated with the phenomena of deviant behavior are solved, namely, alcoholism, suicidal intentions, injuries and so on. Surveys of combatants about the remote consequences of a closed craniocerebral trauma showed the presence of mental disorders in 60-80% of cases. The purpose of the study is to identify the features of manifestations of syndromological picture in the long-term consequences of closed craniocerebral traumas about to further prognosis and treatment of this category of patients. The basic methods of research were used: clinical-anamnestic, clinical-psychopathological, socio-demographic, psychodiagnostic, mathematical. Results of this work revealed that the primary syndrome is asthenic. Established: the heavier trauma, the more expressed nonpsychotic mental disorders of the combatants. In the future, it would be advisable to further explore the features of the manifestations of the syndromological picture at the long-term consequences of closed craniocerebral traumas in combatants.
