The review provides information concerning the influence of dietary factors and different types of diet on the origin and frequency of migraine headaches according to the up-to-date scientific data. The relevance of the problem is associated with high prevalence of migraine, which is a common cause of disability amongst young people. Gut – brain axis takes a significant place in the pathophysiology of migraine. The concept of a gut-brain axis explains a bidirectional relationship between the gastrointestinal system and the central nervous system. It has been suggested that changes in the gut-brain axis functioning may play a role in the pathogenesis of migraine. The review describes possible mechanisms of gut microbiota involvement in the pathogenesis of migraine. Knowledge of the important role of food triggers in migraine has contributed to the development of a dietary therapeutic strategy for the prevention of migraine headache. The paper contains data concerning possible pathogenetically substantiated effects of various types of diet (elimination, epigenetic, ketogenic) in migraine prevention, given the lack of efficacy and side effects of current migraine drug therapy. The review discusses the possible positive effects of dietary approaches on migraine through their beneficial influence on the intestinal microbiota and functioning of the gut-brain axis. Conclusions. An update on the role of diet in the pathogenesis and prevention of migraine attacks is an extremely important and promising scientific field, which requires further research with the development of personalized approaches taking into account the individual characteristics of each patient.

В статье представлен обзор современных литературных источников, обобщающий результаты исследований генов, которые участвуют в развитии бронхиальной астмы (БА), полиморфизма генов при астме и о выявленных вариантах генов, которые являются генами - модификаторами ускоряющими и усугубляющими патологический процесс. Составление генной сети для каждого многофакторного заболевания и разработка на этой основе комплекса профилактических мероприятий для конкретного пациента составляет основу нового, быстро развивающегося направления - предиктивной медицины. Актуальность темы обусловнено тем, что БА попрежнему входит в ранг важной медицинской и социальной проблемы, наблюдается высокая распространенность и неуклонный рост заболеваемости БА во всем мире. Тема также является актуальной, так как хроническое рецидивирующее течение БА накладывает значительные ограничения на повседневную жизнь пациентов, увеличивает доли больных с тяжелой формой заболевания. Все это свидетельствуют об актуальности изучения сложных механизмов развития этого заболевания с целью разработки эффективных методов диагностики и профилактики с учетом индивидуальных особенностей каждого больного. За последние годы протестировано более чем 500 генов, которые показывают связь с данным заболеванием, и для более чем 100 из них показана ассоциация с БА, на основании чего можно сказать, что данные гены являются генами предрасположенности к ней. The article presents a review of modern literary sources, summarizing the results of studies of genes that are involved in the development of asthma, gene polymorphism in asthma and the identified variants of genes that are modifier genes that accelerate and aggravate the pathological process. The compilation of a gene network for each multifactorial disease and the development on this basis of a set of preventive measures for a specific patient forms the basis of a new, rapidly developing direction - predictive medicine. The relevance of the topic is due to the fact that BA is still included in the rank of an important medical and social problem, there is a high prevalence and a steady increase in the incidence of asthma all over the world. The topic is also relevant, since the chronic relapsing course of asthma imposes significant restrictions on the daily life of patients, increases the proportion of patients with a severe form of the disease. All this testifies to the relevance of studying the complex mechanisms of the development of this disease in order to develop effective methods of diagnosis and prevention, taking into account the individual characteristics of each patient. In recent years, more than 500 genes that show a connection with this disease have been tested, and for more than 100 of them association with asthma is shown, on the basis of which it can be said that these genes are genes for predisposition to it.

The urgency of the researched problem is connected with the growing role of mass media in modern conditions leads to change of values and transformation of identity of the person. The active growth of the role of the media, their influence on the formation and development of personality leads to the concept of “media socialization” and immutation in the media. The aim of the study is to outline the possibilities of the process of media socialization in the context of immutation in the media. The methods of our research are: analysis of pedagogical, psychological, literature, synthesis, comparison, generalization. The article analyzes the views of domestic and foreign scientists on the problem of immutation in the media and the transformation of the information space. In the context of the mass nature of the immutation of society, the concept of “media socialization” becomes relevant, which is the basis for reducing the negative impact of the media on the individual.The author identifies the lack of a thorough study of the concept of “media socialization” in modern scientific thought. Thus, media socialization is associated with the transformation of traditional means of socialization, and is to assimilate and reproduce the social experience of mankind with the help of new media.The article analyzes the essence of the concepts “media space”, “mass media” and “immutation”. The influence of mass media on the formation and development of the modern personality is described in detail.The study concluded that it is necessary to form a media culture of the individual, to establish safe and effective interaction of young people with the modern media system, the formation of media awareness, media literacy and media competence in accordance with age and individual characteristics for successful media socialization. The role of state bodies in solving the problem of media socialization of the individual was also determined. It is determined that the process of formation of media culture in youth should take place at the level of traditional institutions of socialization of the individual.The author sees the prospect of further research in a detailed analysis and study of the potential of educational institutions as an institution and a means of counteracting the mass nature of the immutation of society.Key words: immutation, media socialization, mass media, media space, information.

Studies suggest that the bidirectional relationship existent between the gut microbiome (GM) and the central nervous system (CNS), or so-called the microbiome–gut–brain axis (MGBA), is involved in diverse neuropsychiatric diseases in children and adults. In pediatric age, most studies have focused on patients with autism. However, evidence of the role played by the MGBA in attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), the most common neurodevelopmental disorder in childhood, is still scanty and heterogeneous. This review aims to provide the current evidence on the functioning of the MGBA in pediatric patients with ADHD and the specific role of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (ω-3 PUFAs) in this interaction, as well as the potential of the GM as a therapeutic target for ADHD. We will explore: (1) the diverse communication pathways between the GM and the CNS; (2) changes in the GM composition in children and adolescents with ADHD and association with ADHD pathophysiology; (3) influence of the GM on the ω-3 PUFA imbalance characteristically found in ADHD; (4) interaction between the GM and circadian rhythm regulation, as sleep disorders are frequently comorbid with ADHD; (5) finally, we will evaluate the most recent studies on the use of probiotics in pediatric patients with ADHD.

It is evident that convenience plays a prominent role in the food choices of today’s consumers. A trend having begun throughout the Western world, consumer demand for convenience foods is now on the rise around the globe. The growing presence of drive-thru windows, microwave dinners, take-out meals, home delivery for groceries and internet shopping, all demonstrate the importance of convenience in determining food choices. Costa et al. have argued that convenience itself determines where, when, why, what, how, and even with whom we eat. Several studies have examined the role that convenience plays in determining food choices, in particular, studies looking at the role of convenience in relation to full meal preparation and/ or consumption.The two areas of investigation will be 1) the dimensions of convenience as a part of the meal preparation and consumption processe, and 2) the individual characteristics of consumers and how they value these dimensions.

Evaluation Approaches

Citizen Science is increasing in popularity and used by many academics, community groups and Non-Governmental Organizations in scientific data collection. Despite this, little is known about the motivations and experiences of those who contribute to citizen science projects, nor about the impacts of involvement in citizen science upon the individual. Moreover, few have considered the pedagogic process that individuals undergo as they participate in these activities. Citizen science practitioners and program developers stand to benefit from increased understanding of these experiences in terms of their capacity to enhance environmental education. Such increased understanding of the implications of citizen science may also promote the development of sustainability education. This chapter synthesizes insights from existing literature, policy documents and practical projects to explore the pedagogic potential of the convergence of citizen science and environmental education. The chapter concludes that progressive evaluation approaches are needed to complement what is an emergent field.

Striatal Function

By analyzing the functional role of adenosine receptor heteromers, we review a series of new concepts that should modify our classical views of neurotransmission in the central nervous system (CNS). Neurotransmitter receptors cannot be considered as single functional units anymore. Heteromerization of neurotransmitter receptors confers functional entities that possess different biochemical characteristics with respect to the individual components of the heteromer. Some of these characteristics can be used as a “biochemical fingerprint” to identify neurotransmitter receptor heteromers in the CNS. This is exemplified by changes in binding characteristics that are dependent on coactivation of the receptor units of different adenosine receptor heteromers. Neurotransmitter receptor heteromers can act as “processors” of computations that modulate cell signaling, sometimes critically involved in the control of pre- and postsynaptic neurotransmission. For instance, the adenosine A1-A2Areceptor heteromer acts as a concentration-dependent switch that controls striatal glutamatergic neurotransmission. Neurotransmitter receptor heteromers play a particularly important integrative role in the “local module” (the minimal portion of one or more neurons and/or one or more glial cells that operates as an independent integrative unit), where they act as processors mediating computations that convey information from diverse volume-transmitted signals. For instance, the adenosine A2A-dopamine D2receptor heteromers work as integrators of two different neurotransmitters in the striatal spine module.

The retina is a part of the central nervous system, a thin multilayer with neuronal lamination, responsible for detecting, preprocessing, and sending visual information to the brain. Many retinal diseases are characterized by hemodynamic perturbations and neurodegeneration leading to vision loss and reduced quality of life. Since catecholamines and respective bindings sites have been characterized in the retina, we systematically reviewed the literature with regard to retinal expression, distribution and function of alpha1 (α1)-, alpha2 (α2)-, and beta (β)-adrenoceptors (ARs). Moreover, we discuss the role of the individual adrenoceptors as targets for the treatment of retinal diseases.

The article is a conceptual exploration of the life and creative path of Mikhail Aleksandrovich Vrubel (1856-1910) in the context of the individual characteristics of his personality. The relevance of this study is determined by the need to find new conceptual angles in the field of understanding the idealistic component of M.A. Vrubel's work, i.e. in the field of his iconographic poetics. The visual myth-making of the artist, who drew on authentic spiritual prototypes, defined the leading role of Vrubel not only in Russian Symbolism and Modernism, but also in Modernism as a whole. The linking of the biographical aspect with M.A. Vrubel's poetic thinking, examined through the prism of “pure art”, i.e. in the context of the idea of the legitimacy of the independent existence of the self-contained reality of the work, can give entirely new accents of understanding the deep origins and potential meanings of the artist's work at the present stage of development of art history.

The present study pursued to investigate the role of phase interactions between EEG rhythms in the process of the perception of time. The purpose of the study was to analyse the dependence of these interactions on the type and stage of the activity being performed, as well as on the individual characteristics of a human. For this purpose, 27 boys and 29 girls, all university students, were asked to reproduce and measure short intervals of time (200 and 800 ms), during which their EEG was recorded in frontal, central, parietal, temporal, and occipital lobes, according to the system 10–20%. While studying phase interactions between EEG rhythms, we used wavelet bispectral analysis and calculated the bicoherence function. As it follows from the conducted research, most often close phase interactions are observed between the gamma-rhythm and other rhythms of EEG or between different frequencies of the gamma-rhythm. It was established that the phase interactions under study were influenced by the factors of “sex”, “activity type”, and “activity stage”. The study showed correlations of phase interactions with the levels of intellect, extraversion, neuroticism, with the particularities of the lateral organisation of brain, and the accuracy of time perception.
