Psychomotor Training of the Military Sappers as a Means of Reducing Personal Fears and Anxiety

The purpose of this study is to reveal the features of psychomotor training of a sapper, the development of the necessary sensory-intuitive skills to regulate their actions and deeds while performing tasks in the minefield. Material and methods. Three series of psychological experiments were conducted. The importance of psychomotor training in the context of reducing the level of anxiety and personal fears of sappers was revealed. The research was integrated into the process of training in the discipline “Blasting”. The study did not change the structure of the discipline, as it was only related to the content. The collected and analyzed data were used for the quantitative method. Results. It was determined that the most talented servicemen, with well-developed coordination of movements, mental stability, ability to regulate personal fears, make quick decisions, work alone for a long time, stay calm in tense situations, should be involved in the sappers’ activities. Conclusions. Our psychological training “Minefield” promotes the development of professionally necessary qualities among military sappers, provides the development of psychomotor and sensory-intuitive skills to regulate movements and actions during combat missions. Improves constructive attitudes in the unit of sappers, friendliness, reflexive listening, kindness, leadership and patience.</p

N-(9,10-Dioxo-9,10-dihydroanthracen-1(2)-yl)-2-(R-thio) Acetamides: Synthesis, Antioxidant and Antiplatelet Activity

The synthesis of new N-(9,10-dioxo-9,10-dihydroanthracen-1(2)-yl)-2-(R-thio) acetamides was carried out using reaction of 2-chloro-N-(9,10-dioxo-9,10-dihydroanthracene-1(2)-yl)acetamides with functionalized thiols in the presence of potassium carbonate in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) at room temperature. Evaluation of the synthesized compounds on such indicators of radical scavenging activity as lipid peroxidation (LP) and oxidative modification of proteins (OMP) in vitro in rat liver homogenate was carried out. It was determined that the compounds with a substituent in the first position of anthracedione core showed better antioxidant properties than their isomers with a substituent in the second position. The compounds 6 and 7 with the best indicators of radical-scavenging activity were determined. Antioxidant effect in OMP processes was also determined for compound 10. The antiplatelet activity study in vitro revealed compound 10 with the inhibited effect of ADP-induced aggregatio
