The article presents the results of a comprehensive analysis of the addictive status of patients with neurotic disorders: representation, severity, variants and specificity of addictive behavior. The features of the clinical and psychopathological structure and dynamics of neurotic disorders with addictions are analyzed, the mechanisms and patterns of the formation of comorbid combinations are highlighted. It has been established that neurotic disorders are often associated with addictive disorders. It is noted that addictions in neuroses are represented by a wide range of variants and are characterized by multimorbidity (a tendency to combine several addictions at the same time). It was determined that the clinical structure of neurotic disorders in their comorbidity with addictions is modified and its clinical and psychopathological specificity is highlighted. It has been determined that pathopsychological factors are involved in the mechanisms of formation of neurotic disorders with addictive behavior, among which the key role belongs to the need-motivational sphere, which combines competing motivations aimed at meeting the needs that support the addictive and neurotic states. Key words: neurotic disorder, addiction, comorbidity, clinical and psychopathological features, mechanisms of formation

This article is devoted to an urgent problem – the issues of feasibility, legality and expediency of population chipping. The author provides a deep and comprehensive analysis of the positive and negative sides of the problem under consideration, using the example of foreign countries in which there is a studied practice. The article proposes a scientific polemic of published works on the problem of microchips, offers its own point of view and draws its own conclusions. The key point of this article is, developed on the basis of research, SWOT analysis, which includes the strengths and weaknesses of the problem under study. In conclusion, the author draws his own conclusions and makes proposals aimed at committing the crimes, which may have theoretical and / or practical value. The article is intended for persons interested in the forensic technique, forensic characteristics of crimes, methods of investigation of certain types (groups) of crimes, as well as for a wide range of readers.

Monte Carlo calculations are reported for patches of molecular chlorine adsorbed on the basal plane of graphite. A variety of combinations of intermolecular and molecule–surface potentials have been tested, and the resulting structural predictions cover a wide range of behaviour. None of the combinations employed here can explain the recent experimental observations, but it is clear that at least some could be adjusted to do so. However, the lack of thermodynamic data concerning the interaction between the molecules and the surface presents a major obstacle. Further experiments which give information about the energetics of the system are needed before a definitive account of the structure and dynamics can be given.

The liquid and plastic limits for a variety of natural and artificial soils covering a wide range of plasticity, as determined by the Casagrande method and the fall cone test and based on a strength criterion, were compared. To check the validity of the strength criterion, the undrained shear strength of these soils has been determined with a laboratory vane over the water content range between these limits. A limited comparison of the undrained strength values obtained from the vane test and fall cone test is also given. Key words: Atterberg limits, consistency, fall cone, laboratory vane, shear strength.

Genetic diversity in 31 potato genotypes (parents and their hybrid progenies) was determined using multivariate analysis. Cluster analysis revealed that the parents and their hybrid progenies could be grouped into five different clusters. The maximum number of genotypes were included in clusters II and V. Cluster V had maximum and cluster I had minimum intra-cluster distance. Cluster mean showed wide range of variation for several characters among single as well as multi-genotypic clusters. Considering diversity pattern, parents should be selected from clusters I, III and V for the improvement of potato.   Key words: Genetic diversity, Cluster analysis, Potato DOI = 10.3329/bjb.v36i2.1499 Bangladesh J.

Biochemical characterizations of 64 pointedgourds were done using three isozyme viz., acid phosphatase, peroxidase and glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase. A wide range of diversity among the gremplasm based on their acid phosphatase, peroxidase and glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase isoenzyme banding patterns were observed. In respect of isoenzyme activity; 8 acid phosphatase, 7 peroxidase and 9 glutamate oxaloacetate transminase electrophoretic zymotypes were formed by 19, 11, and 19 bands at different Rf values varying from 0.19 to 0.82, 0.38 to 0.69 and 0.15 to 0.95, respectively. The wide range of similarity co-efficient of 0.0-80.0, 0.0-66.0, and 0.0-80.0 as found among the electrophoretic patterns in acid phosphatase, peroxidase, and glutamate oxaloacetate transminase, respectively, indicating wide genetic diversity among the accessions. Based on the polymorphic activity of these three enzymes, 27 combinations of electrophoretic zymotypes were identified, each of which can he equated to genotypes. Each of the groups consisted of one to eight genotypes. Sixty four accessions of pointed gourd were grouped into 12 clusters. The genotypes collected from the same location were grouped into different clusters. Key Words: Genetic diversity; pointed gourd; biochemical methods. DOI: 10.3329/bjar.v34i1.5762Bangladesh J. Agril.

Modern crystallography makes intense use of large scale facilities: neutron reactors, synchrotron sources, free electron lasers, where sources, optics and detectors allow for a wide range of possible experiments putting forwards the limits of the analysis of the structure and dynamics of matter and materials. Giving the large scale facilities a major role in the teaching of crystallography and material science, allowing for intense practice, requires to gather different skills which is more often done through summer school or intensive programs at PhD or junior scientist level. The Erasmus Mundus Master Course MaMaSELF (Master in Material Science Exploring Large Scale Facilities) is a unique European master program focused on the use of large scale facilities to investigate intimate nature of matter and materials where the five consortium higher education institutions (University of Rennes 1, France; Technische Universität München and Ludwig Maximilian University in München, Germany; University of Torino, Italy and University of Montpellier 2, France) have managed, together with Large Scale Facilities partners (ESRF, ILL, FRMII, DESY, LLB, SOLEIL, PSI) and third country partners spread out all over the world (Brazil, India, Japan, Russia, Switzerland , USA), to offer to the students a two years program at the master level including large amount of crystallography and spectroscopy teaching and an intensive summer-school totally dedicated to large scale facilities and including a large proportion of lessons and labs taught by experts, as well as many internship and master thesis opportunities at the large scale facilities.

Disruption of synaptic function at excitatory synapses is one of the earliest pathological changes seen in wide range of neurological diseases. The proper control of the segregation of neurotransmitter receptors at these synapses is directly correlated with the intact regulation of the postsynaptic cytoskeleton. In this review, we are discussing key factors that regulate the structure and dynamics of the actin cytoskeleton, the major cytoskeletal building block that supports the postsynaptic compartment. Special attention is given to the complex interplay of actin-associated proteins that are found in the synaptic specialization. We then discuss our current understanding of how disruption of these cytoskeletal elements may contribute to the pathological events observed in the nervous system under disease conditions with a particular focus on Alzheimer’s disease pathology.

Different aspects of driver personality may affect traffic safety. Extended driver reaction time causes deceleration of the reflexes, which is a major cause of traffic accidents. Cornell index was used in 30 drivers responsible for traffic accidents, with the aim to measure their level of neurotic disorder and compare them with results of controls (drivers not responsible for traffic accidents). Reaction time was measured and compared among subjects with normal results of Cornell test and those with pathological findings. Drivers causing traffic accidents showed significantly higher Cornell index scores than drivers not responsible for traffic accidents. Drivers with pathological results of Cornell index showed a significantly longer reaction time.

Marks's paper covers a wide range of different theoretical, clinical and methodological issues in the behavioral approach to the conceptualization and treatment of neurotic disorders. Accordingly, in response to the Editor's request to comment briefly on the paper, I shall necessarily be selective in the points I make, referring the reader to more extended discussions of these issues in other sources. Specifically, I address the following points: the applicability of behavior therapy; the nature and function of its theoretical underpinnings; research strategies; and recommendations for service delivery and training.
