Annotation. One of the most important problems of modern dermatology is the individualization of programs for diagnosis, treatment and prevention of skin diseases. The success of its solution largely depends on how fully, systematically will be described and somatic and mental components of the patient’s personality, taking into account the full range of biological and mental factors that affect his health. The aim of the study was to establish the features of the leading typological characteristics of temperament and psychodynamic personality traits between healthy and psoriatic men without taking into account somatotype and representatives of mesomorphic and endo-mesomorphic somatotypes. Men aged 22 to 35 years, patients with psoriasis (n=100, including 32 with mild and 68 with severe) conducted an anthropometric examination according to V. V. Bunak Somatotype was calculated according to the mathematical scheme of J. Carter and B. Heath. The PASI (Psoriasis Area and Severity Index) was used to clinically assess the severity and area of psoriatic lesions. The control group consisted of anthropometric data of 82 practically healthy men of the same age group from the data bank of the research center of National Pirogov Memorial Medical University, Vinnytsya. Evaluation of the leading typological characteristics of temperament was determined by G. Eysenck, psychodynamic personality traits – by C. D. Spielberger in the modification of Y. L. Khanin Statistical processing was performed in the license package “Statistica 5.5” using non-parametric evaluation methods. When comparing the studied indicators between groups with different disease course, significantly higher and tendencies to higher values of the percentage were found: persons with potential introversion among patients in general (19.12 %) and endo-mesomorphs (22.22 %) with severe course compared to healthy subjects without taking into account the somatotype (8.54 %) and the control group of a similar somatotype (0 %); persons with a low level of neuroticism among patients in general (50.00 %), mesomorphs (46.43 %) and endo-mesomorphs (75.00 %) with mild psoriasis compared with patients without somatotype, mesomorphs and endo-mesomorphs with severe dermatosis (19.12 %., 18.18 % and 11.11 %); persons with an average level of neuroticism among patients in general (22.06 %) and mesomorphs (20.00 %) with severe psoriasis compared with patients without somatotype and mesomorphs with mild dermatosis (3.13 %, 3.57 %); persons who answered insincerely, among patients with mild psoriasis (87.50 %) compared with patients with severe psoriasis (66.18 %); persons with a low level of situational anxiety among patients in general (12.50 %) and mesomorphs (14.29 %) with a mild course of psoriasis compared with patients without somatotype and mesomorphs with a severe course of dermatosis (2.94 % and 3.04 %); persons with a low level of situational anxiety among patients in general (21.88 %) and mesomorphs (17.86 %) with a mild course of psoriasis compared with patients without somatotype and mesomorphs with a severe course of dermatosis (8.82 % and 5.45 %). When comparing the studied indicators between groups with different body type, significantly higher and tendencies to higher values of the percentage of people with an average level of situational anxiety among endo-mesomorphs with mild and severe psoriasis (100 % in both cases) compared with mesomorphs. the corresponding severity of the disease (63.64 % and 46.43 %); persons with a high level of situational anxiety among mesomorphs with severe psoriasis (30.91 %), compared with endo-mesomorphs with a corresponding severity of the disease (0 %); persons with a low level of personal anxiety among endo-mesomorphs suffering from severe psoriasis (22.22 %), compared with mesomorphs suffering from dermatosis of similar severity (5.45 %); persons with a low level of personal anxiety among healthy endo-mesomorphs (46.15 %) compared with healthy mesomorphs (12.82 %); persons with an average level of personal anxiety among healthy mesomorphs (71.79 %) compared with healthy endo-mesomorphs (30.47 %). Thus, our study, conducted using a constitutional approach, allowed us to describe systemic portraits of patients with psoriasis, including the strengths and weaknesses of their morphological and mental organization, necessary to justify differentiated approaches to planning health and prevention measures.

The purpose of the work is to investigate the screening frequency of anxiety and depressive disorders and their manifestations in young adolescents to determine risk factors and develop measures for their prevention. Anxiety testing was conducted for 313 students of educational institutions of the Khmelnitsky region aged 10-14 years: 156 (49.8 %) boys and 157 (50.2 %) girls. 258 people were tested for the spectrum of depressive disorders, of which 51.9 % (134) were boys and 48.1 % (124) girls. Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) was used to study anxiety, and Children's Depression Inventory (CDI) by M. Kovacs, was used to diagnose depression. The probability was evaluated using Student's t-test with the construction of a 95 % confidence interval (CI) for the difference in means. Quantitative traits are given as M±σ. A high level of personal anxiety was determined in 20 (6.4 %), and situational anxiety in 17 (5.4 %) people. The average level of personal anxiety was determined in 38 (12.1 %), and situational anxiety – in 142 (45.3 %) people. A low level of personal anxiety was identified in 255 (81.5 %), and situational anxiety – in 154 (49.3 %) people. That is, most students of early adolescence had a low level of both personal and situational anxiety. Signs of depressive disorders were detected in 50.0 % of the examined children of early adolescence who completed the questionnaires, in particular, mild manifestations of depression were found in 70 (27.2 %) people, moderate in 46 (17.2 %) people, severe depression in 13 (5.0 %) people. The level of depressive symptoms in girls was higher (53.32±12.54 points) compared with boys (50.01±9.94 points), respectively (95 % CI, 0.5 – 6.0; p<0.019). The level of depressive symptoms among students in the city was higher (50.45±8.93 points) compared with students in rural schools (46.74±10.81 points), respectively (95% CI, 0.5 – 6.9, p<0.023). When comparing the severity of depressive symptoms in children from a boarding school (59.64±15.03 points) with students of other secondary schools (52.02±9.74 points), its predominance was significant precisely in children who study at a boarding school (95% CI, 2.5 – 16.3; p<0.008). So, in children of early adolescence, most have a low level of anxiety. At the same time, depressive disorders of varying degrees were revealed in 50.0 % of the examined children, which manifested themselves mainly in the form of low mood and anhedonia. Female sex, urban living, and having an incomplete family or orphanhood are some of the key risk factors for depression in young children.

Introduction. A healthy lifestyle is one of the most eff ective methods of preserving health and preventing non-infectious diseases. The mechanisms and factors that infl uence the formation of motivation for health and a healthy lifestyle in employees engaged in harmful working conditions have not been suffi ciently studied. The study of these mechanisms will allow us to more eff ectively shape health-saving behavior.The aim of the study is to study negative aff ectivity, social suppression and anxiety in the formation of motivation to maintain health and a healthy lifestyle in coal industry workers.Materials and methods. A survey was conducted of 75 employees of mines and sections in the South of Kuzbass with an established diagnosis of occupational diseases, as well as 54 people who do not work in harmful working conditions (engineering and technical workers). Surveys were conducted using the method “Index of motivation to health and a healthy lifestyle”, the presence of personality type D was conducted using the DS14 questionnaire, the level of personal and situational anxiety was assessed using the Spielberger — Hanin questionnaire.Results. Th e level of motivation for health and a healthy lifestyle among patients with occupational diseases is signifi cantly lower than the level of motivation for the health of engineering and technical workers. Th e infl uence of negative reaction and social suppression on the level of motivation for health and a healthy lifestyle was not found. Th e level of situational anxiety also has no eff ect on health motivation. A higher level of personal anxiety among people with a high level of motivation for a healthy lifestyle was determined.Conclusions. Personal anxiety aff ects the level of motivation for health and a healthy lifestyle in people with occupational diseases.

The Impact

Empowerment of tribal women is one of the central issues in the process of development all over the world. Empowerment is the process that allows one to gain the knowledge and attitude needed to cope with the changing world and the circumstances in which one lives [1]. Women empowerment is a process in which women gain greater share of control over material, human and intellectual resources as well as control over decision-making in their home, community, society and nation. Given the need to analyze the empowerment status of tribal women, the present study aimed to enhance the empowerment status through enhancing decision-making skills of tribal working women in India. The specific objective is to study the impact of intervention on enhancing status of empowerment through decision-making skills of tribal working women in Utnoor Mandal Adilabad district. The total sample population for the study was 50 tribal working women, and data was analyzed using a paired t test. Results revealed that at pretest, majority of the women were at average level of decision-making skills (78%), 12% were at low level and only 10% were at high level. After the intervention, post test results revealed that 74% of the women were high in decision making skills and remaining 26% were at average level. Interestingly, none of the respondents had low level of life skills. Thus, intervention found to be effective among women respondents to develop and enhance their empowerment status through decision-making skills.

The article presents the results of a comprehensive analysis of the key problems that prevent Russia from raising the rating in the world economy, affecting the problem of the Russian Federation joining the five largest economies in the world. When studying the problems of increasing Russia’s ranking in the world economy, based on data from the Humanitarian Portal, estimates were made of the relative (in world comparison) level of development of the Russian Federation in terms of demographic development, social development, institutional development, political development, economic development, scientific and technological development, communication development, reputation development, global development. A distinctive feature of the studies presented is the reliance not on the country’s rating itself in the international comparison system, but on the relative assessment of this rating, taking into account the total number of countries covered by the corresponding rating. The analysis of the relative ratings of the international competitiveness of the Russian Federation was carried out using the desirability function H. D. Harrington (also known as the universal verbal-numerical scale), which allows you to translate relative quantitative assessments into qualitative ones. Based on the analysis, it is shown that at present Russia does not have objective prerequisites for joining the fi ve largest economies in the world, since the Russian Federation does not have a very high level of assessment according to the Harrington method according to none of the groups of indicators of international competitiveness. Most of the assessment groups (level of demographic, social, institutional, economic and social development) have an average level. A number of assessment groups (the level of scientifi c and technical, reputation and global development) have an average level. And the group for assessing the level of political development has a low level. Analysis of the structure of «pain points» of international competitiveness of the Russian Federation, corresponding to a very low level on the Harrington universal verbal-digital scale, showed that most of them are associated with problems of social development (suicide rate, level of quality of life, level of alcohol consumption, number of prisoners, level of happiness), indicating an insuffi cient level of motivation of the population for development.

Aim. Study of the efficacy of respiratory gymnastics in the treatment of panic attacks. Methods. The study included 28 patients with the diagnosis of «panic attacks»: 22 females and 6 males. All participants followed the specially developed respiratory gymnastics program twice a day daily for 2 months. In each patient neurological status was checked before and after the study, and cardiovascular parameters (heart rate, blood pressure), respiration rate, severity and frequency of panic attacks were registered. For the evaluation of anxiety Spielberger scale for anxiety was used. The level of depression was assessed according to Hamilton rating scale for depression. For identification of hyperventilation syndrome hyperventilation provocation test was performed and Nijmegen questionnaire was used. Results. After respiratory gymnastics for 2 months the frequency of panic attacks decreased by 66%, the number of symptoms during panic attacks decreased by 50%. Respiratory rate decreased by 18%, Nijmegen questionnaire score - by 28%. The level of situational anxiety and depression decreased by 15 and 14%, respectively, and degree of personal anxiety decreased by 5%. Cardiovascular parameters decreased nonsignificantly: pulse - by 3%, systolic and diastolic BP - by 1 and 2%, respectively. Conclusion. Respiratory gymnastics effectively decreases the frequency and severity of panic attacks and can be effectively used in the complex treatment of panic attacks as a safe and effective non-drug method of treatment.

Introduction: The association of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and pulmonary tuberculosis is an important medical and social problem with a significant burden in terms of morbidity and mortality. The course and prognosis of chronic diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and pulmonary tuberculosis is greatly influenced not only by the clinical features but also by the psychological characteristics of the patient. The aim: To study the interaction between clinical changes and psychological characteristics considering gender differences among patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in association with pulmonary tuberculosis. Materials and methods: We studied 41patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (grade 2, 3, groups А, B, С, D) and infiltrative pulmonary tuberculosis co-morbidity (11 women and 30 men). All patients underwent general clinical examination, Acid-Fast Bacillus Testing, spirometry, Spielberg anxiety scale, Beck depression scale. Results: Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and pulmonary tuberculosis co-morbidity with more severe symptoms (according to Assesment Test scores) were older and, regardless of it, showed elevated depression and personal anxiety scores while situational anxiety scores were significantly lower compared to those with less severe symptoms. The correlation between symptoms severity and airflow limitation or smoking history was very mild. The elevated depression and personal anxiety could cause more severe symptoms. The revealed discrepancy between the symptoms severity and low levels of situational anxiety may be due to adaptation with displacement mechanisms to illness related chronic life stressors. We also observed elevated personal anxiety and depression scores together with less severe symptoms among female versus male chronic obstructive pulmonary disease/pulmonary tuberculosis patients, possibly reflecting physically ill women’s higher risk for depressive and anxiety related symptomatology relative to ill men. Conclusions: We revealed that among patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and pulmonary tuberculosis co-morbidity symptoms severity was largely influenced by the patients’ age, gender and psychological factors (depression and personal anxiety), but, unexpectedly, much less – by airflow limitation and smoking history. We also found higher emotional distress, namely elevated personal anxiety and depression scores, in combination with less severe symptoms among female versus male patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and pulmonary tuberculosis co-morbidity.

Background and Study Aim. To prevent hypodynamics, to evaluate the volume and level of weekly physical activity of the university's senior students. Material and methods. The study involved students (n = 244) aged 19-20 years (n = 157 - boys, n = 87 - girls). The students studied in the 4th year of the Technical University (Russia). The following parameters were investigated: physical activity (PA), the intensity of metabolic processes and motor skills. The volume of weekly physical activity was determined by a short form of the IPAQ-SF physical activity questionnaire. The level of physical activity intensity was determined by the formula of a metabolic equivalent of task (MET) (min/week). According to MET, students are divided into three groups: 1st group with a high level; 2nd group with average level; 3rd group with low level. The battery of motor tests used to evaluate students' physical preparedness. Results. The total intensive and non-intensive weekly motor activity of boys was 6.2 hours (372 min). This confirms with the standard volume (6 hours) recommended by WHO. The total motor activity of the girls (intense and non-intense) was 4.5 hours (271.6 min) per week. More than a quarter of the surveyed boys had a high level of physical activity. About 62% of students had an average level and 12.7% had a low level. Among all surveyed girls 16.1% have a high level of physical activity, 41.4% had an average level and 42.5% had a low level. The results of boys with a low level of physical activity in all motor tests were lower than the results of boys with high and average levels of physical activity. The exception was the results of the Seated Forward Bend test (p <0.05). In 6 motor tests, the results of girls with a low level of physical activity were worse than the results of female students with a high level of weekly physical activity (p <0.05). There are no significant differences between the test results in girls with low and average levels of weekly physical activity.  Conclusions. After completing the course on the subject "Elective Courses in Physical Culture and Sports", the physical activity of students remains high enough. 12.7% of boys and 42.5% of girls with low levels of physical activity and MET were identified among the surveyed student population. This allows aligning them into a group at risk of developing non-communicable diseases. To reduce the hypodynamics of junior courses students at risk, it should use individually directed pedagogical technologies of physical education. In presenting the theoretical section of the subject "Physical Culture" to the senior courses students it is necessary to strengthen their motivation for independent motor activity.

Positive Effect

The most important feature of adolescence is awareness of responsibility for the content of their lives before themselves and before other people. The psychological signs of a mature adult present a certain level of self-regulation, the specifics of experiencing ontological problems, the relation to the environment, the existence of a balance between the level of appetites and the satisfaction of their achievements. Overcoming the age limits of youth, the individual experiences differently. Some consider this stage of life as a new opportunity to realize their potential, others feel dissatisfied, internal embarrassment and anxiety. A man’s view of his mature adult may be due to the economic conditions of life, social circumstances and peculiarities of the time in which he lives. Many adults begin to feel that it is difficult for them to dispose of their own lives. In a situation of psychological deprivation, an adult is worried and confused about whether she really understood and realized the true purpose of her life. That is why it is important to notice in time and respond to emotional violations of the ontological direction. In our study, we aimed to analyze the empirical indicators of adult anxiety and test the means of correctional influence in the perspective of bodily oriented psychotherapy (TOP), which indicates the path to effective problem-solving without time and cognitive resources. The main task of our corrective work with the researchers was to intensify the manifestation of positive emotions through the removal of bodily and psychological clamps; personal anxiety was regulated by promoting physical and psychological liberation; extending the range of emotions in interaction with the outside world. In addition, we have induced participants of the TOP to form new, more effective patterns of motion; learning self-regulation skills and ability to realize stress through situations of stress. The correctional program had a positive effect on the emotional state of the participants in the experiment. In particular, it proved to be effective for dealing with reactive (situational) anxiety.

Restrictive Measures

The COVID-19 pandemic and the unprecedented measures to contain it have disrupted the daily life of most people and affected their psychological well-being negatively. Despite the increasing worldwide relevance of exploring the psychological consequences of COVID-19, this study is one of the first Russian papers on this subject. In order to study the changes in the level of anxiety of students, that took shape during the forced self-isolation regime, the authors carried out two surveys involving the students of Moscow universities, according to Spielberger’s State-Trait Anxiety Inventory and a socio-demographic questionnaire. The primary testing took place on March 2-16, 2020 in the face-to-face format; the subsequent online testing during the second stage was held from May 25 to May 30, 2020. The testing covered 13 young men and 29 girls aged from 18 to 25. The survey results showed that over 70% of the respondents regularly infringed the forced stay-at-home regime; 26.8% did not leave their place of residence with the exception of permitted absence cases; 12.2% strictly followed the established prescriptions and did not leave their place of residence at all. The average values of personal anxiety indicators before and during the introduction of restrictive measures did not differ significantly and amounted to 45.1 and 44.9 points respectively (p = 0.94). The level of situational anxiety increased markedly among the majority of respondents (from 38.0 to 45.6 points on the average, p = 0.0002). The intensity of changes in situational anxiety depended on its initial level – the respondents from the group showing the lowest original degree of anxiety suffered from stress most of all. The specific features of compliance with the forced self-isolation regime and the level of labour engagement did not affect the anxiety indicators; however, the stress connected with the examinations and the presentation of qualifying graduation papers was an additional factor affecting the psychoemotional state of the students during the pandemic.
