Nina Biehal, Sarah Ellison and Ian Sinclair present the results of an independent evaluation of the Multidimensional Treatment Foster Care (MTFC) programme for young offenders in England, where it is known as Intensive Fostering (IF). A quasi-experimental, mixed-methods study was carried out at the three pilot sites, with a total sample of 47 at follow-up. Young people sentenced to IF were compared to a similar group, matched on the eligibility criteria for IF, the majority of whom were sentenced to custody. The groups were well matched in terms of their characteristics and criminal histories. Official data on reconviction were collected at baseline and one year after entry to the IF placement or release from custody (Stage 1), and further data on programme completion and secondary outcomes were collected via interviews with young people and parents, and questionnaires to professionals at baseline and follow-up. Official data on reconviction were also collected one year after exit from the IF placements (Stage 2). At Stage 1 the IF group were less likely to be reconvicted, had committed fewer and less-serious recorded offences, on average, and took longer to commit their first recorded offence. At this point the IF group were more likely to be living with their families and less likely to be in custody than the comparison group. However, by Stage 2 no significant differences in patterns of reconviction remained. IF successfully contained a high-risk group in the community, but the effects of the intervention diminished once they left their foster placements. Environmental effects on entry to and exit from the IF placements may help to explain the results at both stages.

Актуальность исследования данной проблемы обусловлена быстрым вхождением цифровизации во все сферы человеческой жизни, что многие процессы социальной адаптации подрастающего поколения не успевают принимать ту форму, при которой молодые люди могли гармонично развиваться как в умственном, так и в физическом, духовном и психологическом аспекте. В связи с этим, данная статья направлена на ознакомление с историей Скаутского движения в России и мира, а также возможности реализации идей Скаутинга в воспитании подрастающего поколения и развития их физических и интеллектуальных способностей, а также активного участия в жизни общества, социального взаимодействия не только в масштабах одной семьи, класса, но и всей страны, мира. В статье рассмотрены истоки зарождения Скаутинга, выделены особенности его развития за рубежом, характеризующиеся формированием экологической этики, равенства между взрослыми и детьми и подготовкой молодежи к взаимодействию с социумом. Автором предложена периодизация, и выявлены отличительные особенности в развитии Скаутского движения в отечественной практике, характеризующиеся выделением пяти этапов в развитии Скаутинга, для каждого из которых характерны свои особенности (1 этап – зарождение и развитие Скаутинга в России, 2 этап – запрет Скаутинга в России, 3 этап – зарубежный этап Российского Скаутинга, 4 этап – возрождение Скаутинга в России, 5 этап – Скаутинг в России в наши дни). В исследовании выявлена взаимосвязь временных отрезков истории Скаутинга через сохранение Обещания, Законов, девиза, лозунга, принципов, традиций и атрибутики Скаутского движения, которые тесно связаны с идей организации всестороннего развития подрастающего поколения, способного быть полезным себе и обществу. The relevance of the study of this problem is due to the rapid entry of digitalization into all spheres of human life, while many processes of social adaptation of the younger generation do not have time to take the form in which young people could develop harmoniously both in the mental and physical, spiritual and psychological aspects. In this regard, this article is aimed at acquainting with the history of the Scout movement in Russia and abroad, as well as the possibility of implementing the ideas of Scouting in the upbringing of the younger generation and the development of their physical and intellectual abilities, as well as active participation in the life of society, social interaction not only in the scale of one family, class, but the whole country, the world. The article examines the origins of Scouting, highlights the features of its development abroad, characterized by the formation of environmental ethics, equality between adults and children and the preparation of young people for interaction with society. The author proposes a periodization and reveals distinctive features in the development of the Scout movement in Russian practice, characterized by the allocation of five stages in the development of Scouting, each of which has its own characteristics (stage 1 – the emergence and development of Scouting in Russia, stage 2 – the prohibition of Scouting in Russia, stage 3 – the foreign stage of Russian Scouting, stage 4 – the revival of Scouting in Russia, stage 5 - Scouting in Russia today). The study revealed the relationship of time periods in the history of Scouting via means of preservation of the Promises, Laws, motto, slogan, principles, traditions and attributes of the Scout Movement, which are closely related to the ideas of organization in the all-round development of the younger generation capable of being useful to themselves and to society.

Developement of computer technology provides much improvements on electron microscopy, such as simulation of images, reconstruction of images and automatic controll of microscopes (auto-focussing and auto-correction of astigmatism) and design of electron microscope lenses by using a finite element method (FEM). In this investigation, procedures for simulating the optical properties of objective lenses of HREM and the characteristics of the new lens for HREM at 200 kV are described.The process for designing the objective lens is divided into three stages. Stage 1 is the process for estimating the optical properties of the lens. Firstly, calculation by FEM is made for simulating the axial magnetic field distributions Bzc of the lens. Secondly, electron ray trajectory is numerically calculated by using Bzc. And lastly, using Bzc and ray trajectory, spherical and chromatic aberration coefficients Cs and Cc are numerically calculated. Above calculations are repeated by changing the shape of lens until! to find an optimum aberration coefficients.

The Wobbler mouse (wr) has been studied as a model for inherited human motoneuron diseases (MNDs). Using behavioral tests for forelimb power, walking, climbing, and the “clasp-like reflex” response, the progress of the MND can be categorized into early (Stage 1, age 21 days) and late (Stage 4, age 3 months) stages. Age-and sex-matched normal phenotype littermates (NFR/wr) were used as controls (Stage 0), as well as mice from two related wild-type mouse strains: NFR/N and a C57BI/6N. Using behavioral tests, we also detected pre-symptomatic Wobblers at postnatal ages 7 and 14 days. The mice were anesthetized and perfusion-fixed for immunocytochemical (ICC) of CGRP and ChAT in the spinal cord (C3 to C5).Using computerized morphomety (Vidas, Zeiss), the numbers of IR-CGRP labelled motoneurons were significantly lower in 14 day old Wobbler specimens compared with the controls (Fig. 1). The same trend was observed at 21 days (Stage 1) and 3 months (Stage 4). The IR-CGRP-containing motoneurons in the Wobbler specimens declined progressively with age.
