Law enforcement officers with different levels of combat stress (men, residents of the Komi Republic, n=33, 35,0 (32,0– 39,0) years old) were examined before (November) and after (March) trips to the combat zone. The control group included agents of the Ministry of emergency situations with a low level of stress (men, residents of the Komi Republic, 32,0 (30,0–35,0) years old). In total, law enforcement officers were shown to have a wide prevalence of vitamin deficiency: about 50% of persons had hypovitaminosis for vitamins A, E, about 35% — for vitamins B1, B2 and 24% — for vitamin C. A parallel study of the control group and law enforcement officers in November showed that initially there were more persons with reduced vitamin status in law enforcement officers, especially in the level of vitamins B1 and E. In March, after the arrival of law enforcement officers from the combat zone, they found a significant decrease in the percentage of persons with hypovitaminosis for vitamins A, E, C and an increase vitamin B1 deficiency. Changes vitamin status in the control group from November to March were not so significant.

The Status

The Komi Republic is one of the regions with large communities of reindeer herders. As a result of the active development of northern territories, the indigenous population is shifting from nomadic to sedentary lifestyle, which is accompanied by significant changes in their traditional way of life and diet. As a result, representatives of the same ethnic group can have different dietary patterns. This paper compares the status of vitamins B1 and B2 between the groups of northerners leading a seminomadic and sedentary lifestyle. Indigenous inhabitants – children (aged 7–17 years, n = 395) and adults (aged 18–57 years, n = 370) – living in the Komi Republic (65–67°N) were examined. The group of reindeer herders consisted of workers of reindeer-herding teams travelling with the herd and their children (either attending boarding schools or living with their families). The control group was represented by indigenous northerners not involved in reindeer herding and permanently living in settlements. The vitamins B1 and B2 status was measured by the activity of vitamin-dependent red cell enzymes. We found a high prevalence of vitamin deficiency (over 40 % for vitamin B1 and over 30 % for vitamin B2) among the indigenous population of the North. The total prevalence of vitamin deficiency among reindeer herders was similar to that in the population leading a sedentary lifestyle; however, severe hypovitaminosis was more than twice as common among the latter. The vitamin status of reindeer herders’ children attending boarding schools and those living with their families during the academic year did not differ significantly from the status of children whose families lead a permanent sedentary lifestyle.

Abstract Thiamine (vitamin B1), cofactor for various multi-enzyme complexes in energy metabolism, and plays a major role in the synthesis of cholinesterases such as acetylcholinesterase (AChE); butyrylcholinesterase (BChE). Present study deals with the changes in the cholinesterases, γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and serotonin in mice brain following thiamine deficiency. Experimental mice (6–8 week old) were made thiamine deficient by intraperitoneal injection of pyrithiamine hydrobromide and fed with thiamine-deficient diet. Animals were divided into three groups, Group I (Control), Group II (thiamine deficient mice for 8 days), and Group III (thiamine deficient mice for 10 days). The higher serotonin level whereas significant decreases in the AChE, BChE and GABA level were recorded in treated groups as compared to control. Hence, vitamin B1 deficiency disturbs the cholinergic system and neurotransmitters levels in brain which may lead to neurodegenerative diseases.

Deficient Group

In a paired feeding experiment the effects of vitamin B1 deficiency and of restriction of food intake have been compared. In both groups of animals the number of cases of paralysis and the number of deaths were less than in a control group on an unrestricted amount of the complete diet. The maximum difference occurred on the 15th day after inoculation. The incidence of paralysis and death in the vitamin-deficient group was also less than in the paired restricted group. The maximum difference occurred on the 17th day following inoculation, after which the difference gradually became less. At the end of the experiment (28 days) there was a slightly greater number of deaths in the restricted group than in the vitamin-deficient group. Apparently the effect of vitamin B1 deficiency on the action of the virus of poliomyelitis in the mouse is not due solely to the resulting anorexia. From the 3rd to the 25th day after inoculation the animals were examined at hourly intervals throughout the day and night. On the 26th and 27th days they were examined every 3 hours. Except for two mice in the unrestricted group dying before the hourly examinations were begun, peripheral paralysis was observed in every animal which died.

The article presents a method of stage-by-stage training of law enforcement officers and proves its efficiency. The analysis of law enforcement officials’ professional qualifications shows the lack of knowledge about action plans in special conditions. The presented situation leads to the employee’s injuries or death, as well as failure of the operation being conducted. As a consequence, the Internal Affairs Agencies need highly qualified specialists who are able to perform operational service tasks in emergency situations. Similarly, the decline in the level of professional training is due to the change of generations and retirement of highly qualified law enforcement officers. There is a trend that characterizes the decrease in the efficiency of work related to the improvement of the personnel’s qualifications. The presented method defines the time duration of the stages, tasks and goals for each stage, conditions created at each stage and a form of control.

Definition Of

The article presents theoretical approaches to the definition of the concept of «psychological training» and the views of modern scientists on the use of training technologies in the training of law enforcement officers. Today, it is relevant and necessary to use modern psychological trainings for the development of personal and professional qualities of law enforcement officers. Psychological trainings include various methods of work: role plays, discussions, group problem solving, situation modeling, methods of feedback and reflection. The main advantages of the training are: development of a holistic system of such skills and abilities as the organization of positive interpersonal interaction in the community; acquisition of new knowledge about the future profession, development of skills and abilities to perform various types of communicative activities in standard and non-standard professional situations; instilling the ability to think critically and creatively in solving professional problems; analysis and selection of actions in professional situations; formation of personal judgments, assessments of the future profession; as well as teamwork skills. Psychotraining influences the increase of motivation to perform educational tasks and educational process, interests in subjects; contribute to a higher quality of knowledge acquisition and the purchase of new practical skills; adaptation of cadets to the conditions of study in the new social environment; solving a problem of a personal nature. In order to increase the efficiency of the process of education and training of law enforcement officers, as well as to create professionally necessary personal qualities, we propose to use them in the training of psycho-training staff. Such trainings can be: training of development of communicative skills, training of formation of emotional and volitional qualities, training of information security, training of psychological counteraction to information influence, training of formation of moral and psychological qualities, and also psychotraining of development of cases in critical and emergency situations.

We aimed to determine the effects of vitamin B1 deficiency on vitamin contents of urine, liver, and blood. In the current study, rats were divided into 3 groups (n = 5, each group): the first was freely fed a complete diet (ad lib-fed control group); the second freely fed a vitamin B1-free diet (vitamin B1 deficient group); and the third pair-fed a complete diet with the same amounts of the vitamin B1 deficient group (pair-fed control group). The experimental period was for 15 days. The blood concentrations of vitamin B2, PLP, vitamin B12, folic acid, and biotin were lower in the pair-fed control than in the ad lib-fed control and those of nicotinamide and pantothenic acid were the same. We conclude that Vitamin B1 deficiency did not affect concentrations of the other B-group vitamins.

The relevance of the study regarding the peculiarities of the attitude to danger of law enforcement officers is due to the need to create a complex of protection for law enforcement officials, which is an integral part of regulating public order and maintaining public safety, including preserving the identity of the employee himself. The author reveals the relationship between the degree of professional victimization and the level of sensitivity to threats among law enforcement officials. The peculiarities of the relationship between professional victimization and the attitude to danger of law enforcement officers with a tendency to risk and direction of aggression were studied: self-aggression and aggression towards people. Professional victimization is considered as a psychologically negative professional and personal formation, which creates the threat of accidents, injuries or death of an employee during actions in criminally dangerous and other critical situations. Victim mental states (anxiety, fear, stress) and victim qualities (high achievement motivation, exaggerated employee self-esteem, impulsiveness, arrogance, aggression) determine the structure of professional victimization, which creates a tendency to the unjustified risk. The practical application and use of knowledge in this field by psychologists of law enforcement agencies will prevent possible accidents among law enforcement officers.

The Impact

The aim: The aim of this study is to examine the impact of the loss of a loved one on the perception of subjective time as well as analyse the changes occurring during the psychological care programme, in which special attention was given to finding a new meaning in life. Materials and methods: The study was undertaken with 240 wives of deceased law enforcement officers. The age of the respondents ranged from 28 to 56 years. According to the results of the analysis of personal data and interviews obtained during the empirical study, experimental and control groups were formed – 32 women who had been widows for up to one year and expressed a desire to receive psychological assistance formed an experimental group (EG), while 34 others formed a control group (CG). They subsequently participated in the formative part of the experiment which provided 10 months of psychological support with preliminary and repeated psycho-diagnostic testing. Results: The article theoretically analyses studies by foreign and domestic experts on a person’s perception of his psychological time under the influence of emotional trauma. It presents the results of a comparative experimental psychological examination of the widows of law enforcement officers to determine the tendency for changes in the perception of the time perspective while experiencing grief. Conclusions: A break caused by a loss, especially that of a loved one, disrupts a holistic view of life. Such breaks result in mental health problems, which in turn impact social relations and social realisation. Timely psychological assistance helps solve problems of legitimising behavioural change and accumulating resources for adapting to changing life scenarios.
