The article presents the results of a study of proactive coping resources. Proactive coping is currently a new term in the Kazakhstan psychological and pedagogical literature. It can be defined as future-oriented coping, associated with anticipating potential stressors and the early accumulation of resources to identify a possible problem situation and a proactive mindset to resolve it. An analytical review of the literature on the problem under study revealed that proactive coping is associated with the presence in the coping subject of certain environmental conditions and dispositional characteristics that allow him to recognize a potential threat and plan strategies for its removal. The ambiguity in the classification and understanding of academic coping resources directs the attention of researchers to the search for situational and personal parameters that can help the student cope with the stress arising in educational activities. It was revealed that proactive coping with academic stress is provided by reflexive, motivational-volitional, cognitive, affective and communicative resources.

Anticholinergic agents are widely used in clinical practice. However, they can cause various cumulative side effects (dry mouth, drowsiness, confusion, residual urine accumulation, etc.). The purpose of the study is to perform an analytical review of the literature dedicated to causes, complications and rehabilitation of patients with cumulative anticholinergic effect. The analytical review of the literature highlights the risks and benefits of using anticholinergic drugs. Anticholinergic agents make up to one third of all medicines for the aged people. Recent data have proved the relationship between the long-term use of anticholinergics and dementia. New results relating to the cholinergic system in the regulation of cerebral vascularisation and in neuritis indicate that anticholinergics may contribute to the absolute risk and progression of neurodegenerative diseases. It has been proven that more than 600 drugs taken by aged patients carry the so-called "anticholinergic load". The number of drugs with anticholinergic properties is constantly increasing, they include: antidepressants, antihistamines, antiparkinsonian, antipsychotic, antispasmodic, mydriatic drugs, drugs for the treatment of overactive bladder and many others. Conclusions. The number of drugs that have anticholinergic activity and can cause complications associated with anticholinergic load is increasing. To assess the anticholinergic action of drugs, several methods have been proposed, taking into account the amount of dose and the intensity of anticholinergic activity of drugs. The research of the general medical community about the anticholinergic load problem and high alertness when prescribing drugs with anticholinergic properties can prevent the cumulative anticholinergic effect development and severe complications, and, thus, save the life and health of patients.

The number of ethological studies based on Mexican mammals have increased in recent years compared to those from other Latin American countries.  This study conducts an analytical review of the literature on ethological studies of native Mexican mammals.  Specialized publications and electronic bibliographic databases were thoroughly searched to identify ethological studies of Mexican mammals published in scientific journals between 1900 and 2018.  Information on the collection locality, state, first author nationality, country of origin of the journal, and taxa studied were recorded for each article.  The articles were then classified into the 12 major ethological fields, and their data were grouped and summarized in five-year periods, and a map showing the geographic distribution of the studied localities was built using QGIS.  A total of 160 studies were identified; three distinct periods could be recognized: the first (1900 to 1953) with a lack of publications, the second (1954 to1995) with low production (n = 16), and the third (1996 to 2018) with a notable increase in published articles (n = 144); in general, there was a greater participation of Mexican authors (67.5 %).  Most studies (> 70 %) focused on primates, rodents, bats, and carnivores.  Veracruz is the entity with the most articles, while foraging, movement, nesting, rearing, and territorial behavior were the subjects most studied, followed by social behavior, cooperation, and kinship.  The greater number of studies published in the past two decades is likely the result of an increased number of mammologists and their engagement in national and international collaborative partnerships, mainly in areas such as ecology and taxonomy.  Despite a relatively recent development of the field in Mexico, an absence of studies on half of all terrestrial mammals orders, and few studies throughout northern parts of the country, mammalian ethology in Mexico has already made significant contributions and is highly likely to continue its development and consolidation.
