Development of Parental Competence Trough Psychological and Pedagogical Support for Families in the Upbringing of Hearing-Impaired Children

Background. Te need for psychological and pedagogical support for families in the upbringing of hearing-impaired children makes it imperative to develop innovative methods and an efective model of interaction between the family and a special needs educational institution, to improve parental competence. Objective. To study the psychological content of parental competence (its cognitive, value-motivational; emotional and behavioral components) and to evaluate parental competence through psychological and pedagogical support for families in the upbringing of hearing-impaired children. Design. Eighty-seven families with hearing-impaired children from a special needs educational institution in Kursk, Russian Federation, participated in the experimental study. Te researchers took measurements at two time points, baseline and followup. At baseline, we made a diagnostic assessment of the psychological content of parental competence. At followup, we evaluated the development of parental competence resulting from the psychological and pedagogical support for these families. Results. Te cognitive component was characterized by predominant unanimity between the parents in the upbringing of hearing-impaired children, and a partnership relationship in communicating with them. Te emotional component was represented by the absence of difculties in understanding the causes of the children’s emotional state and an orientation towards the child’s emotional state during interactions or physical contact. Terminal values (such as health, happy family life) and instrumental values (such as responsibility, honesty) were predominant in the value-motivational component. Te behavioral component displayed a predominance of the authoritative style in upbringing, whereby parents realized their important role in the development of a child’s personality and recognized the right of children to self-development. At the same time, the authoritarian style was still signifcant. Conclusion. A model for psychological and pedagogical support of families in the upbringing of hearing-impaired children was developed, tested, and found to be efective

Structural-phenomenological features of the internal picture of doctors’ illnesses

The vocational activities of doctors and their social status do not ensure their health. And, falling ill, doctors don’t identify themselves with ordinary patients as they have a deep knowledge of medicine. Thus, the internal picture of a doctor’s illness is both a research and a practical problem: the problem of the psychoprevention of doctors’ illnesses at all stages of their professionalization. The purpose of the research was to study the phenomenological features of the internal picture of doctors’ illnesses using the structural approach. The total number of participants was 132. The experimental group consisted of 66 sick doctors, differentiated according to their stage of professionalization: vocational training (students), professional adaptation (interns), full professionalization (doctors). The control group consisted of 66 people who did not have any medical education. All the control subjects were hospitalized with chronic diseases during the study period. The organization of the research was carried out with the use of clinical-psychological and diagnostic methods, the methods of descriptive statistics, and comparative, multidimensional, and structural analysis. The research revealed the following phenomenological features of the internal picture of doctors’ illnesses: the prevalence of some anxiety in the doctors and high awareness of their health; the doctors’ altruistic orientation; their willingness to work despite difficulties; and their ability to achieve high results in different activities. The structural features of the doctors’ image of their own diseases on the cognitive level were the following: qualitative heterogeneity during in-service activities; a high degree of image integration during in-service activities; and stereotyped perceptions of the disease. The emotional level revealed the emotional distance between doctors and their patients, and the behavioral level revealed doctors’ disregard for the symptoms of the disease. The structural-phenomenological features of the formation of the internal picture of doctors’ illnesses are specific to the circumstances of their origin. For the purpose of the psychoprevention of doctors’ own diseases it is necessary to include these features in the special courses on medical psychology at the stages of vocational training (students) and professional adaptation (interns), as well as in the “psychology in practical medicine” project for doctors

Features of the market of marketing communications and their impact on the activities of fishing industry enterprises

Fisheries is one of the most important areas that allows you to obtain high-protein products of animal origin. At the level of meat, fish gives the human body the necessary protein, as well as trace elements. Fisheries is one of the important branches of the domestic economy, the main objectives of which are to meet the needs of the population in fish and fish products; to improve and expand the range of products of their processing; to ensure equal conditions of competition in the field of fisheries. Therefore, there is a need for scientific research on the study of the current state of the development of the fishing industry and the level of provision of the population of Russia with fish products. Of particular relevance are the issues of studying the market of fish products, forecasting the volume of its production for the future and the balance of its use (supply and demand), etc. The article considers the directions of marketing communications integration, analyzes the trends in the development of the marketing communications market in Russia on the basis of expert assessments. The conclusion is made about the integration of all marketing communication tools a priori for all market entities of different levels in order to achieve the overall effectiveness of their marketing activities

Composition, Property and Level of Radionuclide Contamination of the Soil Cover within 15 km Zone of the Beloyarsk Nuclear Power Plant

Представлены данные сопряженного анализа структуры земельных угодий в пределах 15-километровой зоны Белоярской АЭС (БАЭС), типового разнообразия почв, физико-химических свойств и уровня содержания в них 90Sr,137Cs, и 238-240Pu. Большую часть (85,2 %) обследованной территории занимают почвы земель лесного фонда: буроземы, ржавоземы, дерново-подбуры, дерново-подзолистые, серые и темно-серые почвы среднего и легкого гранулометрического состава. Земли сельскохозяйственного назначения (5,3 %) представлены в основном агроземами темными и светлыми. Пойменные почвы (0,4 %), несмотря на их высокое потенциальное плодородие, слабо используются в сельском хозяйстве. В обследованных почвах радионуклиды по уровню содержания располагаются в убывающем ряду: 137Cs>90Sr>238-239Pu. При этом содержание 90Sr варьирует от 0,4 до 7,8 кБк/м2, 137Cs – от 0,1 до 9,8 кБк/м2, и 238-239Pu – от 0,03 до 0,1кБк/м2. Такие количества находятся в пределах фоновых значений, характерных для Уральского регионаThe investigation of soil-plant cover was conducted in the 15 km zone of the Beloyarsk Nuclear Power Plant (BNPP). In this paper, data of the complex analysis of the land structure, variety of the soil types, their physical and chemical properties and content of 90Sr, 137Cs and 238-240Pu are presented. The greater part of the investigated territory (85.2 %) is occupied with lands of the forest fund: brown forest soils, rusty soils, soddy-brown soils, soddy-podzolic, grey and dark grey soils of middle and light granulometric composition. The agricultural lands are presented by dark and light agrozems. Radionuclides content in the examined soils decreased in the order 137Cs > 90Sr > 238-239Pu. The content of 90Sr, 137Cs and 238-239Pu fluctuated between 0.4-7.8, 0.1-9.8 and 0.03-0.1 kBk/m2, respectively. On the whole, the level of the radionuclides content in the soil cover is within the limits of the background that was formed in the Urals regio
