It has been reported that injury among dancers has a lifetime incidence of 90%, and recent research suggests that up to 60% of those dancers injured will meet the requirements for clinical referral to a psychologist. This study aims to review the existing literature in the field of dance psychology that focuses on psychological antecedents and responses to injury. Several relevant theories in dance psychology are reviewed. From this literature, it is suggested that psychological techniques can be taught in educational settings to equip dance students with the necessary tools to look after their bodies and minds, reduce the risk of injury, and aid in healing existing injuries. Greater emphasis should also be placed on combining physical and psychological support to improve holistic care and treatment of dancers’ injuries.

The authors describe the contents of managerial work of an investigator that includes the following elements: analysis of the investigative situation; provision of investigative leads; planning; taking investigative or other procedural actions; organization of interaction not only with the departments involved in investigative and criminalistic work, but also with other government and non-government bodies, public organizations and community members; making a decision to end preliminary investigation. They also describe the specific features of managerial work of an investigator while taking into account the variability of investigative situations and their contents, legal status of the participants of criminal proceedings, the deficit of time and the boundaries of investigative and other procedural actions, the necessity of psychological support of an investigator’s work, the presence of prosecutor's supervision that makes it possible to identify drawbacks in an investigator's work in time and quickly correct them, as well as of court control that underlines the importance of procedural actions that can only be sanctioned by a court decision. The opinions of scholars regarding the concept of «managerial competencies» and its contents are presented. The authors show that it is necessary to form and further improve the managerial competencies of an investigator on the basis of a competence approach used in public service, and to introduce a special complex of psychological techniques that show if an investigator possesses or lacks the competencies necessary for his work, in the process of psychological support of an investigator’s managerial activities. They also describe the correlations between the competencies of people that manage an investigation and the effectiveness of the work of agencies responsible for the pre-trial criminal proceedings in general.

Anger management is a strategy used to minimize the emotional and physiological impacts that arise from anger. Managing anger involves a complex interaction between thoughts, feelings, behavior, and physiology. Anger management is considered important from the perspective of psychology and an Islamic perspective, so it is essential to pay attention to the study of anger management in both perspectives. This study uses a systematic literature review method by examining anger management from psychology and Islam. The results show that anger management is seen in line with a psychological and Islamic perspective as an appropriate strategy to respond to anger to be something more positive and environmentally acceptable. However, in practice, the psychological perspective is more oriented towards controlling emotions through more general techniques such as behavior-changing techniques and cognitive restructuring. From an Islamic perspective, its application tends to lead to emotional control through spiritual activities such as ablution, dhikr, prayer, and reading the Al-Quran.

La resiliencia es un concepto que en los últimos años está teniendo cada vez mayor presencia en los ámbitos sociales y educativos de nuestro país. Aunque su uso es relativamente reciente en el contexto español, sin embargo es un concepto que viene siendo utilizado desde el ámbito de la práctica profesional y avalado por numerosas investigaciones en el contexto anglosajón. Este trabajo tiene como objetivo estudiar la evolución que este concepto ha tenido durante las últimas décadas. Este análisis pone de manifiesto que la resiliencia es un tópico controvertido y en plena construcción. En efecto, los resultados del estudio bibliográfico y conceptual sobre la resiliencia muestran la evolución que ha tenido el tema en las tres últimas décadas desde un enfoque de la resiliencia centrado en el individuo y las cualidades de la persona resiliente, hacia un enfoque más socioeducativo, que se preocupa por comprender todos los elementos culturales y comunitarios que emergen e interactúan en los procesos resilientes. A partir de todo este análisis, el artículo arroja algunas conclusiones para repensar y actualizar el modo de abordar las prácticas e investigaciones sobre resiliencia. Resilience is a concept that in recent years has had an ever-increasing presence in social and educational settings in Spain. Although its use is relatively recent in the Spanish context, it has been used in professional practice and supported by extensive research in the English-speaking context. This paper aims to study the evolution of this concept over the last decades. Our analysis found that resilience is a controversial topic and is still being constructed. The outcomes of the literature review and the conceptual study on resilience showed that this issue has been evolving over the last three decades, moving from an individual-based approach to resilience, focused on the qualities of a resilient person, towards a more socio-educational focus, concerned with understanding all the cultural and community-based elements that emerge and interact in resilience processes. From this analysis, the paper delimits some conclusions aimed at rethinking and updating how resilience practices and research are addressed.
