scholarly journals Features of coping in patients with cerebrovascular pathology at different stages of diseases

Coping is an important component in adapting a person to stressful events and maintaining a psychological balance. The aim of this work was to study the features of coping in patients with cerebrovascular pathology (CVP) in the dynamics of its development at different stages of the disease. At Kharkiv Regional Clinical Hospital - Emergency and Emergency Medicine Center during 2016-2018, observed 383 patients with cerebrovascular pathology on different stage of diseases. The coping assessed by using the Ways of Coping Questionnaire R. Lazarus & S. Folkman. In persons with high risk of CVP, clinical manifestations of CVP and patients after a stroke generally defined more tension of coping than in somatic healthy people. There occurred an imbalance forms of coping with low and high efficiency, dominated confrontation, distancing, avoidance versus problem solving, positive revaluation, increasing the role of social support as external psychosocial resource. Therefore, patients at various stages of CVP had unstable stress coping-profile that was on the one hand the basis for the development of stressrelated psychosomatic changes, on the other – not correctly solve the existing stress. Detection and psychological correction of ineffective coping strategies in patients with CVP is an important component of psychological help for this contingent of patients.

Sleep significantly changes across the lifespan, and several studies underline its crucial role in cognitive functioning. Similarly, mental activity during sleep tends to covary with age. This review aims to analyze the characteristics of dreaming and disturbing dreams at different age brackets. On the one hand, dreams may be considered an expression of brain maturation and cognitive development, showing relations with memory and visuo-spatial abilities. Some investigations reveal that specific electrophysiological patterns, such as frontal theta oscillations, underlie dreams during sleep, as well as episodic memories in the waking state, both in young and older adults. On the other hand, considering the role of dreaming in emotional processing and regulation, the available literature suggests that mental sleep activity could have a beneficial role when stressful events occur at different age ranges. We highlight that nightmares and bad dreams might represent an attempt to cope the adverse events, and the degrees of cognitive-brain maturation could impact on these mechanisms across the lifespan. Future investigations are necessary to clarify these relations. Clinical protocols could be designed to improve cognitive functioning and emotional regulation by modifying the dream contents or the ability to recall/non-recall them.

The type of reaction and the behavior patients is an important part of the successful treatment and recovery, and, respectively, the prolong duration and improve quality of life. At Kharkiv Regional Clinical Hospital — Emergency and Emergen cy Medicine Center during 2016—2018, observed 383 patients with cerebrovascular pathology (CVP) on different stage of diseases and 47 healthy persons. In research we used questionnaires “Type of response on the disease” and Boston Stress Test. In the continuum, “healthy — risk group — clinical manifestations of cerebrovascular pathology — after stoke” there is an increase nonadaptive types of response on the disease, manifested by mental stress and the decreasing psychosocial adaptation of patients. Growth of stress combined with types of response on the disease, accompanied by manifestations psychological and psychosocial disadaptation as an intrapsychic, and interphysical mechanism of development. Psychological correction the type of response on the disease, in particular chronic, with a vital threat and a signifi cant decreasing quality of life as a result of complications and progression, is an important component of psychological help for patients with cerebrovascular pathology based on a health-centered approach. Key words: type of response on the disease, cerebrovascular pathology, psychological help

Doped transport layers are essential for achieving high efficiency in organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs). We have studied the effect of doping the electron transport layer (ETL), tris-(8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminum (Alq3) with different percentages of lithium fluoride (LiF). We have also studied the effect of different electron blocking layers (EBLs) such as Tris (4-carbazoyl-9-ylphenyl)amine (TCTA), N,N'-Bis (naphthalen-1-yl)-N,N'-bis(phenyl)-benzidine(NPB), and Di-[4-(N,N-di-p-tolyl-amino)-phenyl]cyclohexane (TAPC) in an Alq3:2,3,6,7-Tetrahydro-1,1,7,7,-tetramethyl-1H, 5H, 11H −10-(2-benzothiazolyl)quinolizino[9,9a, 1gh] coumarin (C545T) based organic light emitting diode (OLED) with optimized ETL doping. TCTA was found to effectively block the electrons and influence the recombination region in the process. At a brightness of 1000 cd/m2, an improvement of 27.8% was observed in external quantum efficiency (EQE) for the device with TCTA as the EBL and doped Alq3 as the ETL, compared to the one with just NPB as both EBL and HTL.

This article investigates the role of relational motives in the saying-is-believing effect ( Higgins & Rholes, 1978 ). Building on shared reality theory, we expected this effect to be most likely when communicators were motivated to “get along” with the audience. In the current study, participants were asked to describe an ambiguous target to an audience who either liked or disliked the target. The audience had been previously evaluated as a desirable vs. undesirable communication partner. Only participants who communicated with a desirable audience tuned their messages to suit their audience’s attitude toward the target. In line with predictions, they also displayed an audience-congruent memory bias in later recall.

Summary1. The role of two clot promoting fractions isolated from either plasma or serum is studied in a purified system for the generation of intermediate product I in which the serum is replaced by factor X and the investigated fractions.2. Optimal generation of intermediate product I is possible in the purified system utilizing fractions devoid of factor IX one-stage activity. Prothrombin and thrombin are not necessary in this system.3. The fraction containing factor IX or its precursor, no measurable activity by the one-stage assay method, controls the yield of intermediate product I. No similar fraction can be isolated from haemophilia B plasma or serum.4. The Hageman factor — PTA fraction shortens the lag phase of intermediate product I formation and has no influence on the yield. This fraction can also be prepared from haemophilia B plasma or serum.

The article explores the role of antropoetonyms in the reader’s “horizon of expectation” formation. As a kind of “text in the text”, antropoetonyms are concentrating a large amount of information on a minor part of the text, reflecting the main theme of the work. As a “text” this class of poetonyms performs a number of functions: transmission and storage of information, generation of new meanings, the function of “cultural memory”, which explains the readers’ “horizon of expectations”. In analyzing the context of the literary work we should consider the function of antropoetonyms in vertical context (the link between artistic and other texts, and the groundwork system of culture), as well as in the context of the horizontal one (times’ connection realized in the communication chain from the word to the text; the author’s intention). In this aspect, the role of antropoetonyms in the structure of the literary text is extremely significant because antropoetonyms convey an associative nature, generating a complex mechanism of allusions. It’s an open fact that they always transmit information about the preceding text and suggest a double decoding. On the one hand, the recipient decodes this information, on the other – accepts this as a sort of hidden, “secret” sense.

AbstractIn order to understand the principles of public procurement in Romania, it is necessary to analyze, on the one hand, the European directives that regulate the actual public procurement and, on the other hand, the context in which the European directives were adopted. Even with the directives in force, the more general provisions contained in the Treaty of the European Economic Community (EEC) in Rome, hereinafter referred to as the Treaty, are applied, as well as many more general principles of law that will guide the interpretation of these directives. The Treaty was adopted in Rome, in 1957 and became applicable from January 1, 1958. It is considered that the source of the principles of public procurement is the Treaty. Even if in Treaty contained no specific provisions regarding the field of public procurement, it reflects the principles and the general framework for the functioning of the single market, a market characterized through the prism of the fundamental freedoms established by the Treaty: the free movement of goods, services, capital and persons. As the field of public procurement is closely linked to the free movement of goods, this principle is promoted and implemented in the practice of this field based on the regulations, directives and decisions of the Community institutions. The role of the free movement of goods is to harmonize the relationships involved in the process of purchasing goods, but also to ensure the homogeneity, coherence and balance of this process.

Adiabatic large polarons in anisotropic molecular crystals We study the large polaron whose motion is confined to a single chain in a system composed of the collection of parallel molecular chains embedded in threedimensional lattice. It is found that the interchain coupling has a significant impact on the large polaron characteristics. In particular, its radius is quite larger while its effective mass is considerably lighter than that estimated within the one-dimensional models. We believe that our findings should be taken into account for the proper understanding of the possible role of large polarons in the charge and energy transfer in quasi-one-dimensional substances.

Dramatic and theatrical performances have a long history of being used as tools to enhance development in children and youth. In pre-colonial times there were some forms of drama and theatre used by different communities in the socialisation of children. It is in the same vein that this article, through the Intwasa koBulawayo performances, seeks to evaluate how drama and theatre are used to nurture children and youth into different developmental facets of their lives. The only difference which this article will take into cognisance is that the performances are done in a different environment, which is not the one used in the pre-colonial times. Although these performances were like this, the most important factor is the idea that children and youth are socialised through these performances. It is also against this backdrop that children and youth are growing up in a globalised environment, hence the performances should accommodate people from all walks of life and teach them relevant issues pertaining to life as they live it now. Thus the main task of the article is to spell out the role of drama and theatre in the nurturing of children and youth through socio economic and political development in Intwasa koBulawayo festivals.
