We presented the review of researches of conscience as factor of moral reliability of the personality in the history of a scientific thought since Antiquity in various philosophical and psychological concepts, our determination of conscience in terms of psychology, we showed the conscience ratio with spirituality of the personality and with moral reliability. We listed the components of conscience (honor, duty, dignity, justice), its functions (moral freedom, moral responsibility, moral self-esteem, moral self-control, altruism), manifestations (shame, guilt, repentance, pride, rightness, redemption) and mechanisms (will, reflection and empathy). We justified a secular understanding of conscience as a factor of moral reliability, unlike religious. We showed the ratio of existential faith, conscience and moral reliability. We discussed the problem of conscience and reliability of criminals and psychopathic personalities; the ratio of the sensual and rational in conscience as a factor of moral and moral reliability; the problem of conscience education. We justified our understanding of conscience as a measure of the significance of moral value in a situation of moral choice, which acts as the spiritual and moral basis for the manifestation of reliability, which is reflected in the value of concrete actions that ensure in its totality the stability and dynamic development of society.

The paper raises the problem of students orientation towards moral self-determination as one of the directions of moral education of students. The necessity of carrying out a categorical analysis of the personality self-determination concept to determine the content and methods of orientation of students towards moral self-determination is substantiated. Personality self-determination is considered at the philosophical, psychological and pedagogical levels of analysis. At the philosophical level of analysis, the essence of the personality self-determination phenomenon and the concept adequate to it is revealed; it consists in a persons choice of certain actions and deeds in a given situation; shows the role of moral choice in the self-determination of the individual. At the psychological level of analysis, the author substantiates the relationship between the self-determination of the individual and the system of his/her relations (to the surrounding reality, other people and himself/herself), which determine the content of the personalitys position. At the pedagogical level of analysis, the self-determination of a person is associated with his/her choice of values, the source of which is his/her needs. The paper argues that the self-determination of a person is both a process and a result of a persons choice of his/her own position, there is a choice of relations that form the content of a position, there is a choice of values, the focus on which constitutes the value orientations of a person, which become the core of self-determination. The author also has determined some practical pedagogical tasks, the solution of which is aimed at creating conditions for the orientation of students towards moral self-determination: the task of students moral principles development, which will ensure their choice of their position, goals and means of self-realization in life; the task of familiarizing students with the value of good, which is the essence of their ethical attitude to the world, to people and to themselves; the task of developing students ability to substantiate the foundations of moral choice and its principles to reflection.

Investigations concerning the stability of a group of factors contained in cod liver residue and displaying vitamin B12 activity have led to the conclusion that under the conditions prevailing during the rendering process, as developed at the Atlantic Fisheries Experimental Station, little or no deactivation occurs. This is in sharp contrast with what occurs under more drastic conditions such as used in the alkali-digestion process.The study of the microbiological method used for the determination of vitamin B12 activity has shown that one step of the analytical procedure, namely, that phase during which the extraction of the sample is performed, is responsible for anomalous results. Deactivation occurs during this stage to an extent which varies according to the previous history of the material. The addition of thioglycolic acid or ascorbic acid during this period does not effectively protect the material unless culture medium is added as well. Medium alone is inefficient. Sodium bisulphite on the other hand exerts protection even in the absence of medium. This effect of sodium bisulphite applies not only to cod liver residue, but also to materials of diverse origin, mammalian viscera included. The data obtained show that vitamin B12 itself is not involved; presumably vitamin B12a and vitamin B12b are, although there is no direct evidence of their presence in cod liver.As a protection during extraction, 0.08 per cent to 0.1 per cent of sodium bisulphite calculated on the amount of wet material appeared to be optimum.

The authors discuss design of waling mechanisms intended for moving of single-bucket excavators. History of engineering and application of these mechanisms is given in brief. The authors also mention relations obtained for determining pressures and deformation of bearing surface under under the walking mechanism support shoes. The stability of walking excavators is considered with an assumption that the bearing surface deformation linearly depends on the pressure transferred to it by the excavator undercarriage. To understand the changes in the pressure on the bearing surface during walking, the cam walking mechanism work diagram is shown, which is divided into four typical phases for the convenience. The shape and dimensions of the bearing surface of the excavator during walking are studied, which makes it possible to find deformation of the bearing surface under the shoes. The analysis of energy consumed to move the excavator takes into account the gravity and friction forces, as well as the energy intake to overcome the inertial forces of lift and simultaneous turn of the machine in the vertical plane. The requirements of the machine movement are: the pressure under the excavator base must be lower than the allowable pressure for rock mass composing the bearing surface under analysis; the radius of the support base should be such that the pressure center is never beyond the core of crosssection. Determination of power for the operation of the walking mechanism is based on calculation of the energy consumption for lifting the excavator and overcoming friction between the excavator base and the bearing surface. Finally, the main outcomes of the study are summarized: the operation of the walking mechanisms is associated with significant dynamic loads induced in the machine steelworks; the power required for the operation of such mechanisms undergoes significant changes during walking and is mostly spent to overcome the resistance of the machine inertia; the power consumption is mostly associated with superstructure lifting and wheel dragging along the bearing surface given there is no backward slip of the shoes.

This article tests the proposition that there is inherent conflict between the principles of the Helsinki Final Act, specifically those related to equal rights and the self-determination of peoples, territorial integrity and the inviolability of frontiers. For this purpose the drafting history of the Helsinki Accords is revisited to shed light on how the participating States interpreted these principles and what meaning they attributed to them. It is argued that the overall purpose of the Final Act, which is to codify the stability of frontiers principle by prohibiting the use of force against frontiers as well as any unilateral, non-consensual actions as far as the territory of the participating States is concerned, should be kept in mind while interpreting these principles. The article concludes by reviewing the practice of States in interpreting the principles over the past two decades to show that changed political circumstances in Europe have not affected the interpretation of the relevant Helsinki Final Act provisions.

Abstract This article presents a history of the origins and development of the AMA Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment (AMA Guides), from the publication of an article titled “A Guide to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment of the Extremities and Back” (1958) until a compendium of thirteen guides was published in book form in 1971. The most recent, sixth edition, appeared in 2008. Over time, the AMA Guides has been widely used by US states for workers’ compensation and also by the Federal Employees Compensation Act, the Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act, as well as by Canadian provinces and other jurisdictions around the world. In the United States, almost twenty states have developed some form of their own impairment rating system, but some have a narrow range and scope and advise evaluators to consult the AMA Guides for a final determination of permanent disability. An evaluator's impairment evaluation report should clearly document the rater's review of prior medical and treatment records, clinical evaluation, analysis of the findings, and a discussion of how the final impairment rating was calculated. The resulting report is the rating physician's expert testimony to help adjudicate the claim. A table shows the edition of the AMA Guides used in each state and the enabling statute/code, with comments.

Abstract. Background: Self-esteem is a major contributor to risk for repeated suicide attempts. Prior research has shown that awareness of stigma is associated with reduced self-esteem among people with mental illness. No prior studies have examined the association between self-esteem and stereotype awareness among individuals with past suicide attempts. Aims: To understand the relationship between stereotype awareness and self-esteem among young adults who have and have not attempted suicide. Method: Computerized surveys were administered to college students (N = 637). Linear regression analyses were used to test associations between self-esteem and stereotype awareness, attempt history, and their interaction. Results: There was a significant stereotype awareness by attempt interaction (β = –.74, p = .006) in the regression analysis. The interaction was explained by a stronger negative association between stereotype awareness and self-esteem among individuals with past suicide attempts (β = –.50, p = .013) compared with those without attempts (β = –.09, p = .037). Conclusion: Stigma is associated with lower self-esteem within this high-functioning sample of young adults with histories of suicide attempts. Alleviating the impact of stigma at the individual (clinical) or community (public health) levels may improve self-esteem among this high-risk population, which could potentially influence subsequent suicide risk.

The Article briefly discusses the need for generation of the Science of Ahangyol, and this science’s scientific basis, object and subject, category system, scientific research methods and application options. Ahangyol is a universal science and may be useful in any sphere. It may assist in problem solving in peacemaking process and in many areas such as ecology, economics, politics, culture, management and etc. This science stipulates that any activity and any decision made in the life may only and solely be successful when they comply with harmony principles more, which are the principles of existence and activity of the world. A right strategic approach of the Eastern Philosophy and the Middle Age Islamic Philosophy and scientific thought has an important potential. This strategic approach creates opportunities to also consider irrational factors in addition to rational ones comprehensively in scientific researches. The modern scientific thought contributes to implementation of these opportunities. Ahangyol is a science of determination of ways to achieve harmony in any sphere and of creation of special methods to make progress in these ways through assistance of the modern science. Methods of the System Theory, Mathematics, IT, Astronomy, Physics, Biology, Sociology, Statistics and etc. are more extensively applied. Information is given on some of these methods. Moreover, the Science of Ahangyol, which is a new philosophical worldview and a new paradigm contributes to clarification of metaphysic views considerably and discovery of the scientific potential of religious books.
