Clinical social characteristics of patients seeking psychotherapeutic care

Aim. The study of social characteristics of patients seeking psychotherapeutic care as well as mental disorders and psychological problems that affected psychotherapeutic encounter. Methods. 160 subjects (45 males and 115 females) aged 18 to 70 years were examined seeking psychotherapeutic care in Psychotherapeutic Center of Cheboksary. Using the method of continuous sampling by means of a questionnaire specially designed in the Psychotherapeutic Center of Cheboksary for collecting sociodemographic and ethno-cultural data, the social characteristics of patients who consulted a therapist were studied. Mental disorders and psychological problems that affected psychotherapeutic encounter were determined by outpatient records. Statistical processing was carried out using descriptive statistics (mean value - M, standard deviation - SD), χ2 distribution. Results. Most of those seeking psychotherapeutic care were urban residents with higher and incomplete higher education aged 18 to 30 years, who considered Russian as their native language. Females seek care three times more often, they are mostly married, often divorced and widowed; among males bachelors prevail. About half of respondents sought therapists independently, more often they were healthy people with psychological problems. Only a fifth of respondents consulted a therapist according to the recommendation of a general practitioner, many of them had borderline mental disorders. Patients with schizophrenia and schizotypal disorder are often advised to consult a psychotherapist by relatives, friends and acquaintances. When consulting a therapist, about third of the respondents considered themselves as sick, while only one fifth of those who applied to solve psychological problems, were recognized as healthy by psychotherapists. Conclusion. Patients seeking psychotherapeutic care differ by sex, marital status, age, level of education, place of residence, religion, employment, nationality; when applying for psychotherapeutic care many respondents were not prone to consider themselves as sick; in most cases psychotherapists qualified their condition as a mental disorder

On the Fate of Lost Property in the Medieval Turkic-Mongol States

Поступила в редакцию: 12.09.2022. Принята к печати: 06.04.2023.Submitted: 12.09.2022. Accepted: 06.04.2023.В статье анализируется государственная политика средневековых тюрко-монгольских (чингизидских) государств в отношении утерянного имущества. Впервые в научный оборот вводится в русском переводе ярлык о назначении на должность буларгучи — специального чиновника, в чьи функции входили поиск, хранение и возврат утерянного имуществах — из «Дастур ал-катиб фи та‘йин ал-маратиб» — персидского трактата, созданного в 1360-х гг. чиновником Мухаммедом б. Хиндушахом Нахчивани, находившимся на службе у правителей монгольского Ирана. Проводится комплексный анализ этого документа, в ходе которого осуществляется характеристика правового статуса буларгучи, просле- живается эволюция деятельности в отношении утерянного имущества в тюрко-монгольских государствах, начиная с Монгольской империи и империи Юань в Китае и заканчивая Крымским ханством. Выявляются различия в отношении чиновников рассматриваемых государств к имуществу, которое было потеряно, и к тому, которое признавалось выморочным в связи со смертью его владельца в пределах иностранной державы. Авторы приходят к выводу, что в тюрко-монгольских государствах принимались определенные меры для обеспечения прав собственников имущества, но, вместе с тем, существовала практика злоупотреблений со стороны соответствующих чиновников своими полномочиями с целью поступления такого имущества в казну, в связи с тем, что оно представляло собой немаловажную часть государственных доходов. Источниковую основу исследования составляют исторические памятники — правовые акты, свидетельства современников, дипломатическая переписка, также авторы опираются на труды специалистов, в той или иной степени обращавшихся к исследованию института буларгучи и вопросов о судьбе утерянного имущества в средневековых тюркомонгольских государствах.This article analyses the state policy of the medieval Turkic-Mongol khanates towards lost property. The authors introduce the first Russian translation of a yarligh on the appointment of bularguchi, an official who oversaw the search, storage, and return of lost property. The yarligh comes from the Dastur al-Katib Fi Ta’yin al-Maratib, a Persian-language treaty written in 1360s by Muhammad b. Hindushah Nakhchivani, an official at the service of the rulers of Mongol Iran. A complex interdisciplinary analysis of this document helps characterize the legal status of the bularguchi and the evolution of the state policy towards the lost property in the Turkic-Mongol states from the Mongol and Yuan Empires to the Crimean Khanate. The authors attempt to clarify the differences between the property which was lost and that which was recognized escheat after the death of its owner abroad. The authors establish that the rulers of the Turkic-Mongol states took measures to provide the rights of the owners of the lost property, but at the same time, officials abused their power to pass such property to the state treasury as it was a substantial part of the state revenue. The source base of the research includes legal acts, notes of contemporaries, and diplomatic correspondence. The authors also consider works of specialists who dealt with the bularguchi institution as well as questions on the fate of the lost property in the medieval Turkic-Mongol states.Исследование выполнено за счет гранта Российского научного фонда, проект № 23-18-00147 «Социально-политическая организация евразийского пространства в Средние века (исторический опыт Золотой Орды и Ирана XIII–XIV вв.), https://rscf.ru/project/23-18-00147, реализуемого в Воронежском государственном университете.The study was granted by Russian Science Foundation, project no. 23-18-00147 “Social and Political Organization of the Eurasian Area in the Middle Ages (by the Example of the Golden Horde and Iran of 13th–14th cc.)”, https://rscf.ru/project/23-18-00147, realized at the Voronezh State University

A Blind comparative study of focused wave interactions with a fixed FPSO-like structure (CCP-WSI Blind Test Series 1)

Results from Blind Test Series 1, part of the Collaborative Computational Project in Wave Structure Interaction (CCP-WSI), are presented. Participants, with a range of numerical methods, simulate blindly the interaction between a fixed structure and focused waves ranging in steepness and direction. Numerical results are compared against corresponding physical data. The predictive capability of each method is assessed based on pressure and run-up measurements. In general, all methods perform well in the cases considered, however, there is notable variation in the results (even between similar methods). Recommendations are made for appropriate considerations and analysis in future comparative studies.</p

ON THE ISSUE OF THE NOTION OF FEDERALLY OWNED LANDSITE, AS AN OBJECT OF DISPOSITION RIGHT

Objective: to formulate the author’s definition of the notion of federally owned landsite, as an object of disposition right. Methods: historical, formal-logical, comparative-legal, dialectic, systemic-structural analysis of legal phenomena. Results: basing on the multi-sided analysis of various scientific views accepted in the civil law theory, the research of correlation was carried out between such categories as “object of legal regulation”, “object of civil legal relationship”, “object of subjective civil law” and “object of civil rights” referring to the category “federal land site”; features and specifics are revealed for federal land site as an object of real estate; features of legal regime of federal land site are stated; federal land site is defined as an object of disposition right. Scientific novelty: features of federal land site as an object of disposition right and its legal regime are explained. It is proved that possibility to implement the disposition right by the state depends on the legal regime of federal land site. Reasons are given that the specifics of civil-legal regime of federal land site as an object of disposition right consists in the fact that while implementing the disposition right the owner state solves public problems connected with using these lands. The author’s definition of federal land site as an object of disposition right is presented. Practical value: Results of the research should be used, first of all, in educational process, while studying the course “Civil Law” (general part); secondly, in law-enforcement practice when solving the disputes connected with the mechanisms of federal land sites disposition

Surf-Riding Operational Measures for Fast Semidisplacement Naval Hull Form

Surf-riding/broaching failure mode is one of the Second Generation Intact Stability Criteria (SGISC) dealt by IMO. The SGISC are structured with a multi-tiered approach: Level 1, Level 2 and Direct Stability Assessment (DSA). When a ship does not verify one level, the next once must be applied, or the ship design must be modified. If ship changes are not feasible, Operational Measures (OM) can be provided to avoid dangerous situations and reduce the likelihood of stability failures. The OM are divided into Operational Limitations (OL) related to areas or routes and related to maximum significant wave heights and Operational Guidance (OG). The surf-riding criterion has been applied on the parent hull of the Systematic Series D, a fast semi-displacement naval hull with forms typically vulnerable to surf-riding phenomenon. The 90 m length ship results vulnerable to Level 1 and 2, therefore Operational Measures have been discussed and provided for a hypothetical route in the Mediterranean Sea (Area 26). Following the OL, in considered Area 26 the ship operations are limited when significant wave heights exceed 3.8 m. The simplified OG define critical ship speeds to be avoided for each considered sea state

The methods of investigation are system approach and system analysis. In result, in the second half of the XVI century, the vicinity of fortified settlements became the place of compact residence of palace peasants in the Middle Volga region; and secondly – coastal lands of Kama river basin’s rivers. In conclusion, the localization and tracing of palace settlements serve as a marker that denotes the main direction of the colonization process which coincided with the vector of domestic policy

CFD simulations for surf-riding occurrence assessment

Surf-riding phenomenon occurs when a ship sailing in following waves is accelerated to wave celerity. In this paper, surf-riding occurrence is studied for the parent hull of the Systematic Series D by 3 degrees of freedom (DOF) CFD simulations. Simulation cases are chosen following IMO recommendations for a wavelength to ship length range and following IMO criterion for ship speed cases. Initial conditions for simulations are obtained from 1-DOF surge motion equation solved by bifurcation analysis. The aim is to define surf-riding limits for ship operability with a less conservative approach, taking into account force changes in waves compared to the one used in the 1-DOF model, which considers calm water approximations. After defining surf-riding boundaries in terms of wave heights for different wavelengths and ship speeds, calculated forces are analysed to evaluate the magnitude and trend of non-linear effects due to wave elevation and ship-wave interaction. A detailed analysis is conducted on resistance, thrust, and wave forces in surging and surf-riding conditions, comparing the applied methodologies. The introduction of wave velocity field influence in the thrust force and the calculation of Froude-Krylov wave-force up to actual wave profile have been discussed and identified as possible improvements of 1-DOF approach
