Providing help and support to people experiencing grief after loss is one of the tasks of a psychologist and psychotherapist. Many views of various authors on the process of grieving and criticism of different opinions of each other make it difficult to choose any one theory for dealing with bereavement. The main goal of this paper is to take a holistic view of the course of adaptation to bereavement and create an integrative approach to the process of grieving based on the main principles of positive psychotherapy. To do this, I used the theories of living-through of grieving by Elizabeth Kübler-Ross, John Bowlby, William Worden, Margaret Stroebe and Hank Shute, and Nossrat Peseschkian. Thus, an integrative model of the bereavement experience was created, in which the phases and tasks of two processes were identified: orientation to loss and orientation to restoration. Application of this model, as well as the use of the principles and techniques of positive psychotherapy as a guide, can help a therapist have a holistic view of the process of dealing with bereavement and be as effective as possible in the therapy process.

Introduction: A modern specialist in practically any field should not only possess professional expertise but also have a good command of modern computer technologies and main mathematical methods of data modeling and processing. It is employers’ requirements and, at the same time, students’ demands to receive this exact type of education. The study examines various ideas of educator-researchers striving to change the educational process to match the new goals. Meanwhile, the authors place the main emphasis on teaching mathematics. Drawing on the experience of teaching at the Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation, the authors propose an integrative model of teaching mathematics that utilizes the contextual approach and content-based teaching. Materials and Methods: The main methods of the study are the analysis of scientific works and pedagogical modeling based on the following methodological approaches: competency-based, integrative, activity-based, as well as the concept of the zone of proximal development. The authors place special importance on the contextual approach and content-based teaching. Results: The analysis of works confirms the significance and relevance of interdisciplinary courses. The necessary modernization of the educational process and its contents is based on the integrative approach. The contextual approach is increasingly used in higher education to reinforce professional orientation. As for content-based education, it is currently used only in foreign language teaching. Within this study, the authors propose an integrative model of teaching mathematics at economics universities. To enforce the focus on the application in basic student training, the contextual approach is utilized which allows giving professional substance to the content of an educational course. The second part of the model is content-based teaching. The authors enhance its potential uses and believe that studying interconnected subjects together allows one to show common patterns and makes the educational process more efficient, intensive and mindful. Discussion and Conclusions: The relevance of having command of mathematical methods and computer technologies for multidisciplinary specialists makes it possible to generalize the creative model by adding various professional contexts.

Expatriate Managers

This paper suggests an integrative model in which MNCs combine staffing policy with training requirements given the level of control over foreign operations. The main premise of the paper is that different levels of control need determine the type of personnel and the extent of training required for managing foreign operations. At the highest level of control need, expatriate managers are provided with extensive cultural training. Conversely, at the lowest level of control need, host country nationals are given minimal functional training. When the control needs are moderate, firms can select either expatriates or host country nationals. Since the costs incurred in extensive functional training for host country nationals are usually greater than those for expatriates who require only a minimal level of cultural training, MNCs tend to prefer expatriates to host country nationals.

This chapter situates corporations and corporate law theory within the nascent New Private Law movement. Most theorists allied to the New Private Law focus on fundamental private law and so, in turn, bodies of law addressed to singular forms of interaction. Corporations and other compound structures — including trusts, companies, and partnerships — pose an important challenge and opportunity for interpretive theory carried out in the spirit of the New Private Law. These structures entail a compounding of singular forms of interaction with novel elements supplied by organizational law. In the chapter I argue for an integrative model of interpretive analysis of compound structures. I explain what an integrative model of the corporation might look like. I also offer an illustration of the model’s relative advantages by contrasting it with dominant reductive analyses that distort the corporate form by treating it as a mere extension of various singular forms of interaction found in contract, property, and fiduciary law. I offer reinterpretation of core elements of the corporate form — corporate personality, purpose, agency and fiduciary administration - and conclude by showing how an integrative approach promises to shed new light on these elements while revealing interpretive excesses of alternative renderings found in reductive theories of the corporation.

IntroductionWHO defines Sexual Health as “a state of physical, emotional, mental and social well-being in relation to sexuality… and requires a positive and respectful approach to sexuality and sexual relationships, as well as the possibility of having pleasurable and safe sexual experiences, free of coercion, discrimination and violence”.OCD-10 defines Transsexualism as “the desire to live and be accepted as a member of the opposite sex, usually accompanied by the wish to make his or her body as congruent as possible with the preferred sex through surgery and hormone treatment. The transsexual identity has been present persistently for at least two years. The disorder is not a symptom of another mental disorder or a chromosomal abnormality”.ObjectiveWe developed an integrative model in 4 axes to approach Sexual Health concept and Transsexualism.AimsHolistic and integrative model of transsexualism gives a better understanding of this disorder and ameliorates global treatment. Moreover, this model should be applied to each sexual minority.Results1. Etiology integrates psychological, biological and neuro-developmental aspects. 2. Clinical features for treatment imply large and multidisciplinary approach. 3. Scientific literature includes more than thousand papers on Transsexualism and numerous expertises as endocrinology, psychiatry, cardiology, sleep… 4. Social networks are developed in hospitals, associations… as well as between patients themselves.ConclusionsHolistic and integrative approach of Sexual Minority as Transsexualism could reach Sexual Health concept defined by WHO.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

The implementation of the Labor Productivity and Employment Support national project for the period from 2019 to 2024 becomes a priority factor in the growth of labor productivity in enterprises of non-primary sectors of the Russian economy. The project provides for large-scale proactive training of staff of domestic enterprises in innovative methods of managing labor productivity. Proactive training is characterized by a wide range of potential effects, which are often not fully manifested in practice due to the prevalence of a fragmented approach to the development of corporate educational programs and the lack of a holistic understanding among managers of enterprises of the content of the staff training process. The aim of the study is to develop an integrative model of staff proactive training focused on the formation of transdisciplinary competencies necessary to solve complex managerial and economic problems in the field of increasing labor productivity. In the research, the authors used the methodology of an integrative approach to staff training, the methodology of critical thinking, the methodology of system analysis, the method of expert data analysis, and the statistical method. The authors conclude that the elaborated integrative model develops a model of staff competencies in the field of labor productivity management and contributes to a more efficient achievement of the goals of the Labor Productivity and Employment Support national project.

The Cost

Rationale. In recent decades, the number of children has increased with chronic diseases characterized by systemic lesions and frequent involvement of the digestive tract, complicating the diagnosis and choice of therapeutic strategy. As the number of diseases in a child increases, the cost of diagnosis and treatment grows exponentially. Given the comorbidity, physicians prescribe multiple medications (polypragmasy), which can lead to adverse effects.First-line physicians often lack the knowledge about the clinical and therapeutic features of managing comorbid patients. Practical healthcare lacks a “team strategy” for these patients’ treatment, leading to ineffective management of patients by subspecialist physicians significantly affecting the prognosis of the disease and even the life of the patient. The “narrowly specialized” model of medicine is inadequate. An integrative model of healthcare should replace it. Meanwhile, there are currently no international and national recommendations for this problem focused on the needs of “first line” physicians, including pediatric specialists. All the above urged us to provide an in-depth study of this problem in the current literature.The aim of this literature review was to study the frequency and structure of comorbid conditions in pediatric practice to optimize their diagnostics, therapeutic tactics, and the development of preventive measures.Results and discussion. The structure of comorbidity differs in different age categories. The comorbidity in children depends mainly on the genetically programmed disorders of metabolism and functioning of cells and tissues, disorders of nutritional status, infectious factors, and interference (pathogenetic relationship of diseases). Understanding the etiology and pathogenesis of comorbid conditions in children, one should identify the Chronic Noncommunicable Diseases formation risk groups and develop a plan for their prevention. Prevention of comorbid chronic noncommunicable diseases should be carried out as part of the “full life cycle”, from the antenatal period (the health of the future mother) to adolescence, using an integrative approach (impact on the child’s physical and mental condition) with teaching patients and their parents the basics of proper diet, healthy lifestyle, sufficient physical activity, and positive attitude.Knowledge of causal and complicated comorbidity will contribute to the development of optimal diagnostic tactics for the search of the root cause and the selection of efficient therapy for trigger disease, which will avoid polypragmasy. The pediatric physician should play the primary role in the follow-up of comorbid patients. It is necessary to expand the competencies of the pediatric physician with the revision of approaches to his professional training.The development of clinical guidelines and algorithms for the management of comorbid patients and the collaboration of physicians of various specialties (formation of multidisciplinary teams), while observing the principle of “one doctor”, will significantly improve the quality of medical care for comorbid patients, which will improve their quality of life and significantly decrease the cost of rehabilitation measures.

The purpose of this article is to present a theoretical integrative model, which reflects contemporary tendencies in the understanding of mental disorders and functional impairment, and which is used as a theoretical frame for the development of the Latvian Clinical Personality Inventory (LCPI). This article, based on the latest research findings in the field, supports the necessity of a combined analysis of mental disorders and functional impairment. Due to scientific findings and deeper understanding of the interrelation between mental disorders and functioning impairment, it has become possible to develop psychological instruments for valid assessment of the disturbances in an individual's cognition, emotion regulation, and  behaviour combining with analysis of most essential and relevant aspects of their functioning. An integrative theoretical model of LCPI, developed on the selected criteria from Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM – 5; APA, 2013) and WHO International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF; WHO, 2001/2015) is presented in the article. Conducted literature analysis permits to conclude, that in a context of clinical personality assessment, a combined analysis of symptoms of mental disorders and relevant functioning criteria is very promising and will be useful in many assessment contexts. Based on such an integrative approach the Latvian Clinical Personality Inventory is currently being developed. This project is a part of the National Research Programme (No. 5.8.2.).
