Aim. To study the population of the Chuvash Republic awareness of depression and methods of its treatment. Material and methods. Seven hundred sixty-four residents of the Chuvash Republic (472 women, 292 men) aged 18 to 83 years old (average age - 35.5 ± 14,3 years old) were interviewed anonymously. Urban residents were 75.5%, rural - 24.5%, with medical education - 5.9%. Two K. Griffiths et al. vignettes described patients with normal depressive state and depression accompanied by suicidal thoughts. After reading the picture, the respondents had to answer seven short questions. Mathematical and statistical processing included the calculation of the mean, standard deviation and χ2 distribution. Results. 39.0% of the respondents correctly identified the state of depression in the vignettes. This mental disorder was reliably better recognized by the respondents with a medical or higher education, urban residents and those who met such patients in life. The respondents most often (44,5%) recommended receiving psychological assistance, consultations and medical treatment (33,5%). They often suggested various “popular interventions”, did not know which specialists to contact and how to treat such a pathology, or suggested doing nothing at all, even if there were suicidal thoughts. More than 75% of the respondents expressed an improvement in patients’ condition in the case of their referring to specialists, the best results were given by the respondents who correctly recognized depression. Conclusion. The study showed a low level of depression awareness of the population of Chuvashia. This circumstance is reflected in the appeal of the people for medical (psychiatric, psychotherapeutic) help and expectations regarding the treatment of this mental disorder. A high proportion of incorrect answers about depression require educational work with the population, better psychiatric preparedness of specialists in the psychological profile and doctors of the general somatic network.

Police Forces

Section 136 of the Mental Health Act 1983 is used by police officers to detain persons who they feel might be suffering with mental disorder until a formal Mental Health Act assessment can be undertaken. Previous studies have shown that the outcomes of these assessments result in remarkably different rates of subsequent hospital admissions. Within a rural setting it has also been shown that the rate of use of Section 136 varies considerably. This study examines the use of Section 136 within a family of eight police forces that have been matched to ensure that they cover similar populations. The results show that there are considerable variations in the use of Section 136, with the Devon and Cornwall region using the section over two and a half times the mean for the group. Possible reasons for this discrepancy are discussed.

Abstract Background: The psychologist who works in bariatric surgery has a role to receive, evaluate, prepare and educate the patient who will undergo the surgical procedure. Psychological evaluation becomes important in so far as allows us to obtain data on personal and familiar history and allow tracing of possible psychopathology. Aim: To collect data on psychological evaluations of patients in a bariatric surgery service of a public hospital in order to describe the psychological profile of patients in this service. Method: Data were collected from 827 patients between 2001 and 2015, using data from an interview, Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) and Binge Eating Scale (BES). Results: The mean age of patients before surgery was 39 years+/- 10, the mean BMI was 51 kg/m²+7, and most patients (81%) were female. The average score on the BDI was 14.8+8 and women had significantly higher scores than men. On the BAI the average score was 11+8 and on the ECAP was 14+8, both with no difference between groups. Conclusions: Psychosocial characteristics of the patients points to the significant presence of indicators of depression, with low levels of anxiety and binge eating.

Introduction. The authors investigate the problem of developing self-regulation skills in primary schoolchildren with cognitive impairments within the education system. The purpose of the article is to evaluate the effectiveness of implementing the program of psychological support aimed at developing self-regulation as a way of enhancing adaptive strategies of behavior and components of self-regulation. Materials and Methods. The study employs a formative psychological and educational experiment (the action research). The collected empirical data were analyzed and summarized. The sample consisted of 456 students, aged between 8 to 11 years, who were divided into three groups: NID (normal intellectual development), ID (intellectual disability), and MID (mild intellectual disability). The data obtained were interpreted and subjected to statistical analysis using various methods of mathematical and statistical processing: the reliability of differences according to statistical criteria, the F * angular transformation, the criterion for comparing the distribution of Pearson χ2 levels, correlation analysis, the method of correlation pleiades. Results. The research findings have shown that program of psychological support aimed at formation of self-regulation developed and implemented by the authors has proven to be effective. It contributes to successful formation of self-regulation in children with cognitive impairment. The program is a socio-psychological resource for improving cognitive health in primary schoolchildren. Conclusions. The article concludes that the implementation of the program of psychological support has led to a significant increase in the indicators of self-regulation components in the subjects. The obtained data can be used by educational settings teaching children with cognitive disabilities to increase the effectiveness of classroom and extracurricular activities and their successful integration into society.

Governments regulate risks on behalf of the people they serve. Given that regulatory agencies aim for regulatory measures that the public would endorse if rational and informed, the mean-risk method of evaluating acts provides valuable guidance. It offers a way of constructing for a citizen informed probability and utility assignments for a regulation’s possible outcomes, and using these assignments to obtain for the citizen an informed utility assignment for the regulation. The theory of cooperative games combines the utility assignments of multiple agents to support a collective act, and under simplifying assumptions, supports an act that maximizes collective utility, defined as a sum of the act’s utilities for the agents, in the tradition of utilitarianism. This approach to regulation accommodates acts targeting information-sensitive, evidential risks as well as acts targeting physical risks. Verification of a reduction in an evidential risk can meet the standards of objectivity that the law adopts.

Introduction: Suicidal thoughts and self-harm are disproportionately prevalent among older adults but are frequently overlooked by emergency physicians. Objective: This study aims to explore the characteristics of older adults visiting the ED for suicidal thoughts or voluntary intoxications. Methods: All older adults (□ 65 years old) who visited one of the five CHU de Quebec’ EDs in 2016 were eligible. The medical charts of patients who reported suicidal thoughts or intoxication in triage or received a relevant discharge diagnosis were reviewed. Involuntary intoxications were excluded. Descriptive statistics were used to present the results. Results: Results: A total of 478 ED visits were identified, of which 332 ED visits (n= 279 patients) were included. The mean age of the ED cohort was 72.6 (standard deviation 6.8) years old and 41.6% were female. Mood disorders (41.2%) and alcoholism (40.5%) were common. Most included patients had a diagnosis of voluntary intoxication (73.2%), including two suicides (0.6%). Following 109 ED visits (30.0%), patients were referred for a mental health assessment. Half of all ED visits resulted in a discharge by the emergency physician (50.0%), while 27.4% were admitted for in-patient care. In the subsequent year (2017), 38.4% returned to the ED for suicidal ideations or self-harm of which 7.9% attended the ED □ 5 times. Conclusion: ED visits for suicidal thoughts and voluntary intoxication in older adults are more common among men with known mood disorders or alcoholism. Referral for a mental health assessment is inconsistent. ED-initiated interventions designed for this population are needed.

The knowledge of blood types frequency in hospital patients helps to plan and perform transfusion therapy at blood donor centers. The distribution of patients’ blood by ABO groups and RhD allows to more efficiently organize and use donor blood banks. The risk of a disease is related to genome composition and is inherited with an ABO blood type. Every person should know his (her) ABO blood type and RhD to enable early identification of the first symptoms of an illness. Materials and methods. This work is based on the study of 4831 blood samples from patients treated at the Center of Cardiovascular Surgery in 2013 (2885 (59,7%) men of the mean age 55 years and 1946 (40,3 %) women of the mean age 57 years). Results. Type A blood occurred most frequently (1787 or 37,0% samples) followed by group O (1625 or 33,6% samples). Samples of group B made up 1025 of the total (21,2%), AB blood group was found in 394 samples (8,2%). Conclusion. The blood types distribution of the ABO system in the patients treated at the Center of Cardiovascular Surgery was characterized by the following pattern: A > O > B > AB. Group A was identified in 37,0% of the patients. Its frequency is similar to that in the population of the western part of Russia and Moscow but different from that in the people living in nearby regions. The frequency of RhD system antigens is comparable in all regions of Russia. CcDEe, ccDEe, CcDee, CCDee are considered to be the most widespread phenotypes. The residents of the Krasnoyarsk region and some nearby regions having blood type A apply to the Center of Cardiovascular Surgery with cardiovascular disorders more frequently than those with others ABO blood types.

One of the important factors determining the public activity of the Galician Ruthenians (Ukrainians) after 1848 was the realization of the idea of educating the people. In the 1850-1860’s exclusively intellectuals were engaged in educational work; peasants and burghers were only recipients. At the time, the main attention was paid to the publication of educational literature for elementary schools and gymnasiums, as well as scientific, popular and religious lectures for intellectuals and common people. This was done by both private publishers and specially created non-gov0ernmental organizations such as the Russophile society Halytsko-Ruska Matytsia (since 1848) and the Ukrainophile society Prosvita (since 1868). Among the editions of Matytsia prevailing publications for the intelligentsia, Prosvita began its publishing activity mainly from small books for the common people.

The study objective is to reveal the interrelation between the types of preparation in the process of training athletes with disabilities in armports and powerlifting. Materials and methods. The study involved 54 coaches from fifteen Invasport regional physical activity and sports centers for people with disabilities. The study used: analysis and collation of scientific and methodological literature; sociological methods (questionnaires); methods of mathematical statistics. In order to determine the average indicators of demographic data on the respondents and the answers to quantitative questions, the study calculated the arithmetic mean (X) and the mean square deviation (σ). The statistical processing of the study materials was carried out using the Microsoft Excel 2010 software package and the Statistica 6.0 software. Results. The analysis of the respondents’ answers allowed to reveal nosological peculiarities of preparing athletes of various qualifications, which indicates the need to ensure high percentages of technical preparation and a specific approach to tactical preparation of athletes with disabilities in powerlifting and armsports. The study found that the interrelation between the types of preparation of junior athletes in powerlifting and armsports involves high percentages of physical and technical training. In the process of improving the athletes’ sports skills, the percentage of physical and technical training decreases, and the specific component of other types of preparation increases. Conclusions. The study has revealed the regularities of interrelation between the types of preparing athletes of various qualifications and has determined the recommended percentages of physical, technical, theoretical, tactical, mental, and integral preparation in the process of improving the athletes’ sports skills in powerlifting and armsports.
