In the study of frustration reactions and stress tolerance in combatants with eye trauma and partial loss of vision against the background of clinical manifestations of posttraumatic syndrome (54 people), significant differences were found between those who took part in combat actions from clinical manifestations of post-traumatic syndrome without injury (46 people) and a group of patients having a domestic injury of the organs of vision with partial loss of it (59 people). Combatants demonstrated an extrapunitive response direction and a necessary recalcitrant type of reaction. In second place is their ego-defensive type of reaction. The presence of depressive, asthenic and aggressive response options. In the group with no injury, extrapunitive direction was observed more often. In the domestic character of damage, these indicators were significantly lower and approached the standard level. Participants in hostilities experienced varying levels of stress tolerance, depending on the methodology, and low levels in the case of domestic trauma. Comparison of the presence and relevance of frustrating and stressful factors showed their greater frequency and significance among combatants with and without injury. Thus, participants in combat operations with an eye injury with partial loss of vision and without it and the clinical manifestations of the post-traumatic syndrome are unidirectional and more pronounced with eye injury changes. With a domestic injury, they are much lower. This indicates the significant role of clinical manifestations of posttraumatic syndrome in the occurrence of mental disorders. This suggests the possibility of including in the action methods of psychological protection of the individual and adaptation to the presence of stress-frustration.

With informed consent, 100 combatants were surveyed. Of these, 54 participants with eye injury and partial loss of vision due to participation in hostilities with clinical manifestations of post-traumatic syndrome; comparison group - 46 combatants with clinical manifestations of post-traumatic syndrome. All respondents were screened for a mental condition using the clinical diagnostic scale CAPS (Clinical-administered PTSD Scale), a neurotic and psychopathic level determination questionnaire (HNP), Diagnostics of Hayma’s Coping Strategies, Psychological Protection of Plutchik-Kellermann-Conte, WHO WHOQOL-100 quality of life questionnaire, Rosenzweig's test of frustration reactions (adult version) modified by P.V. Tarabry. Upon completion of the survey, psychocorrectional measures were conducted with participants of the main group for 60 days. Methods of psychoeducation, cognitive-behavioral, personality-oriented, rational, suggestive psychotherapy, psychological self-regulation were used. The results of psychocorrection were assessed according to the dynamics of the significance of clinical manifestations and these methods. The application of a system of psychocorrectional measures to participants with an eye injury and partial loss of vision with clinical manifestations of post-traumatic syndrome allows to achieve neutralization or significant improvement in their mental state. This is confirmed by changes in the indicator indicators of the relevance of manifestations of somatic injury with clinical symptoms of post-traumatic syndrome, coping strategies and the structure of psychological protection, frustration response and level of assessment of quality of life. The changes achieved in the process of psychocorrection were significantly significant compared with the participants who are characterized by manifestations of post-traumatic syndrome without an eye injury. Changes achieved using psychocorrection did not reach for some indicators of the normative levels. This indicates the presence of manifestations associated with the consequences of somatic trauma and for their correction, the restructuring of life experience in the face of changes in personal capabilities is necessary.

What is the possible role of adversity in promoting the development of wisdom and well-being? This chapter focuses on examining psychological discussions of post-traumatic growth and discusses whether and how we would expect suffering, adversity, or trauma to push an individual in positive and negative ways, with an emphasis on multiple dimensions of psychological well-being. The chapter interweaves insights from the philosophical literature to arrive at a better understanding of whether and to what degree post-traumatic growth is likely to occur or if growth following adversity is part of the cultural narrative that does not effectively translate to the individual.

Comparative analysis of psychopathological consequences of maladaptation and post-traumatic syndrome in participants of military actions with eyes injury and partial loss of vision The aim of this work was a comparative study of the phenomenology of psychopathological response manifestations as psychological disadaptation or post-traumatic syndrome in participants of military actions with eyes injury and partial loss of vision, in order to further determine the targets for medical and psychological measures for their rehabilitation. During 2014—2018 years 191 participants of military actions (PMA) aged 20—53 years were examined. As a comparison group, the study included 59 men with partial loss of vision (PLV) due to household injuries. All respondents were screened for a mental condition using a clinical diagnostic scale CAPS (Clinical-administered PTSD Scale), a questionnaire for determining the level of neuroticism and psychopathisation, consulted by a psychiatrist and a psychodiagnostic study was carried out. The study showed that in PMA with manifestations of psychological disadaptation, the analysis of the signs of the factor “Phenomenology of Signs of Psychological Disadaptation” showed the presence of its diff use manifestations. They mainly reflect the variants of its development and in content demonstrate the lack of individual skills of adequate psychological behavior on change the external environment. The analysis of factor components “Phenomenology of Psychopathological Response to Eyes Injuries on the Background of Psychological Disadaptation” in PMA with PLV showed a decrease in the manifestations and relevance of symptoms of disadaptation against the background of injury, in addition to emotional and behavioral shifts. The level of somatic manifestations of psychopathological response indicates the beginning of the formation of neurotic disorders on the basis of symptoms of disadaptation and available eyes injuries. The analysis of factor “Phenomenology of Manifestations of Post-traumatic Syndrome” in PMA has shown that its manifestations become the basis for the formation of selective neurotic syndromes. The content of these are the factors that have caused the emergence of constant stress in the form of post-stress pathological response. In PMA with PLV on the background of the manifestations of post-traumatic syndrome, the factor “Phenomenology of Psychopathological Response to Eyes Injury on the Background of Manifestations of Post-traumatic Syndrome” indicates the processes of formation of neurotic symptomatology on the background of eyes injury. The basis is individual manifestations of post-traumatic syndrome, which is intensifi ed under the infl uence of additional stress as a result of eyes injury. The obtained results will be taken into account when creating specialized highly-target approaches to medical and psychological rehabilitation for this contingent. Key words: post-traumatic syndrome, psychological disadaptation, clinical symptomato logy, stress, eyes injury, military actions.

Eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR) is a relatively recent therapeutic approach to the treatment of traumatic memories in the wake of psychological trauma such as those found in post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It is based on the theory that bilateral stimulation, mostly in the form of eye movements, allows the processing of traumatic memories. While the patient focuses on specific images, negative sensations and associated cognitions, bilateral stimulation is applied to desensitise the individual to these memories and more positive sensations and cognitions are introduced. Although there is still uncertainty about the theoretical concepts underlying EMDR and the role of bilateral stimulation, it is an effective and proven treatment for PTSD and traumatic memories. It should form part of treatment approaches offered to individuals with PTSD.

ABSTRACT The gram-positive bacterium Streptococcus mutans is the primary causative agent in the formation of dental caries in humans. The ability of S. mutans to adapt and to thrive in the hostile environment of the oral cavity suggests that this cariogenic pathogen is capable of sensing and responding to different environmental stimuli. This prompted us to investigate the role of two-component signal transduction systems (TCS), particularly the sensor kinases, in response to environmental stresses. Analysis of the annotated genome sequence of S. mutans indicates the presence of 13 putative TCS. Further bioinformatics analysis in our laboratory has identified an additional TCS in the genome of S. mutans. We verified the presence of the 14 sensor kinases by using PCR and Southern hybridization in 13 different S. mutans strains and found that not all of the sensor kinases are encoded by each strain. To determine the potential role of each TCS in the stress tolerance of S. mutans UA159, insertion mutations were introduced into the genes encoding the individual sensor kinases. We were successful in inactivating all of the sensor kinases, indicating that none of the TCS are essential for the viability of S. mutans. The mutant S. mutans strains were assessed for their ability to withstand various stresses, including osmotic, thermal, oxidative, and antibiotic stress, as well as the capacity to produce mutacin. We identified three sensor kinases, Smu486, Smu1128, and Smu1516, which play significant roles in stress tolerance of S. mutans strain UA159.

The remarkable gendered renaissance of post–Khmer Rouge (KR) New Cambodian Cinema is evidenced in recent years through first- and second- generation post-traumatic films. This article analyzes one prominent example—Lida Chan and Guillaume P. Suon’s Noces Rouges (Red Wedding, Cambodia/France, 2012)—showing how the Cambodian genocide is for the first time dealt with as a gendered genocide, breaking the taboo issues of forced marriage (a unique form of genocide in the world) and rape. A detailed analysis of Red Wedding describes how the meaning of forced marriage and rape is framed by both the cinema and the relevant national and international discourses embodied by the KR tribunal (also known as the ECCC) and the controversies its proceedings caused. The article compares the cinematic testimony per se and that testimony transferred into legal testimony in court to reflect on the role of cinema in promoting women’s history. Furthermore, it raises highly controversial subjects, such as how to analyze the layers of gendered silencing surrounding both women’s traumatic history and women perpetrators of these sexual crimes; the influence of former KR cadres within current Cambodian society; and the necropolitical function of the killing fields as “truth spaces.” Female testimony, putting forth necrophagic ethics, ultimately becomes the foundation of traumatic history. The conclusion suggests that these intense, embodied first-generation memories resist remembering and instead continue to haunt the individual and the collective; it thus proposes some reflections on the unique role of gendered cinema in healing post- traumatic society in a postgenocide era.

Background. Frequency eye injuries occupy a significant place in the structure of modern combat trauma. In a situation of partial loss of vision due to injury in battle, there is an effect on the mental sphere of several powerful stressful factors that affect the formation of specific manifestations of post-stress psychological maladaptation. Objective – to develop and determine the effectiveness of a short-term program of psycho-corrective measures in the system of medical and psychological support of combatants with eye trauma and partial vision loss in conjunction with post-stress psychological maladaptation (PPM). Materials and methods. With informed consent, 91 combatants were surveyed. Of these, 49 were with eye trauma and partial vision loss with PPD; 42 – PPM phenomena. We used such research methods as clinical-psychopathological, psychodiagnostic, psychometric and statistical. Results. The study found that the application of the developed program of psycho-corrective measures to participants with eye trauma and partial loss of vision against the background of PPM phenomena can achieve a significant improvement in their mental status. This is confirmed by changes in the indicator indicators of the relevance of manifestations of maladaptation, coping strategies and the structure of psychological protection, frustration response and the level of quality of life. Conclusions. The changes achieved in the process of psychocorrection in participants with eye trauma and partial loss of vision against the background of PPM phenomena were significantly significant compared with the participants, who are characterized by manifestations of PPM without an eye injury. Changes achieved by the use of psychocorrection did not reach for some indicators of the normative levels. This indicates the presence of manifestations associated with the consequences of somatic trauma and for their correction, the restructuring of life experience in the face of changes in personal capabilities is necessary.

Academic achievement in immigrant children and adolescents is an indicator of current and future adaptive success. Since the future of immigrant youths is inextricably linked to that of the receiving society, the success of their trajectory through school becomes a high stakes issue both for the individual and society. The present article focuses on school success in immigrant children and adolescents, and the role of school engagement in accounting for individual and group differences in academic achievement from the perspective of a multilevel integrative model of immigrant youths’ adaptation ( Motti-Stefanidi, Berry, Chryssochoou, Sam, & Phinney, 2012 ). Drawing on this conceptual framework, school success is examined in developmental and acculturative context, taking into account multiple levels of analysis. Findings suggest that for both immigrant and nonimmigrant youths the relationship between school engagement and school success is bidirectional, each influencing over time the other. Evidence regarding potential moderating and mediating roles of school engagement for the academic success of immigrant youths also is evaluated.
