PERSONALITY FEATURES OF CONVICTS WITH ADDICTIVE BEHAVIOR

In the recent years the significant increase in number of convicts with addictive behavior is observed in correctional establishments of the Russian Federation. Addictive behavior is often caused by anomalies of the identity of convicts and is expressed in escape from reality by change of their mental state by means of use of narcotic and psychotropic substances, alcohol, game addiction, sexual addictions that is followed by intensive emotions development. Nowadays the modern society requires that correctional establishments of the penal system of Russia should become social clinics which are carrying out psychosocial rehabilitation of convicts with addictive behavior. The purpose of this research is studying psychological features of convicts with addictive behavior. The methods and techniques of the research are observation, conversation, analysis of personal records, expert poll, psycho-diagnostic testing (the test of addictive indicators of MGAA, K. Leonhard – H. Shmishek's test, L.N. Sobchik's technique "The individual and typological questionnaire", the LSI test of Kellerman-Plutchik-Konte), methods of mathematical statistics. It is defined that convicts with addictive behavior are conflictive, quick-tempered, insincere, show high levels on the scale of addictive indicators, have high indicators of exaltation, demonstrativeness and excitability. They have dominating conflict emotional states which are followed by high introversion and psychological protection as denial, rationalization, cognitive mapping. Such personal profile of convicts with addictive behavior testifies to the aggressive manner of self-affirmation contrary to the interests of people around, the increased suspiciousness and vigilance in the relations, high proneness to conflict. We consider that psychological features of convicts with addictive behavior are the indicator of success of their psychosocial rehabilitation

Localization of chemoreceptors in \u3ci\u3eAzospirillum brasilense\u3c/i\u3e.

In order to ensure their survival, bacteria must sense and adapt to a variety of environmental signals. Motile bacteria are able to orient their movement in a chemical gradient by chemotaxis. During chemotaxis, environmental signals are detected by chemotaxis receptors and are propagated via a signal transduction cascade to affect bacterial motility. In a model organism Escherichia coli, chemotaxis receptors, also called MCPs (for methyl-accepting chemotaxis proteins) sense changes in concentration gradients by making temporal comparisons about the chemical composition of their surroundings. Decreased attractant concentration or increased repellant concentration results in conformational changes in the MCPs that culminate in autophosphorylation of histidine kinase CheA that in turn phosphorylates response regulator CheY. Phosphorylated CheY interacts with flagellar rotor switch protein FliM and causes it to switch direction of rotation. In E. coli, MCPs form mixed trimers-of-receptor dimers. Together with CheA and CheW proteins they further organize into large patches at the cell poles called arrays. This architecture is important for signal amplification and propagation and is universally conserved among many bacterial species. In contrast to E. coli, nitrogen-fixing soil bacteria, Azospirillum brasilense, encode four chemotaxis pathways and 41 MCPs. Previous work shows both Che1 and Che4 contribute to chemotaxis and aerotaxis implying that signals detected by chemotactic receptors must be integrated to generate a coordinated motility response. In this work, fluorescent microscopy imaging studies of some A. brasilense MCPs (Tlp1, Tlp2, Tlp4a, and AerC) in various mutant backgrounds demonstrate their localization in respect to each other and to CheA1 and CheA4 proteins

Corporate Complicity in International Criminal Law: Potential Responsibility of European Arms Dealers for Crimes Committed in Yemen

This article examines the question of corporate complicity within the framework of international criminal law and, more specifically, at the International Criminal Court (ICC). It does so by referencing a communication to the ICC filed by several non-governmental organizations, inviting the prosecutor to examine potential criminal responsibility of several European corporate officials who are knowingly supplying weapons to the United Arab Emirates/Saudi-led coalition currently engaged in a military offensive in Yemen. This submission raises an important legal question of whether the ICC’s Rome Statute provides for the possibility to hold corporate officials accountable in cases of complicity in gross human rights and humanitarian law violations. This article purports to answer this question by scrutinizing two specific provisions of the Rome Statute: Article 25(3)(c), which discusses aiding and abetting for the purpose of facilitating the commission of a crime, and Article 25(3)(d), which criminalizes contributions to the commission of a crime by a group of persons acting with a common purpose

Alport Syndrome

Alport syndrome is a multisystem disorder including progressive renal disease, sensorineural deafness, and eye abnormalities. The high risk of cardiovascular pathology in patients with Alport syndrome was also described recently. The syndrome is caused by mutations in COL4A3, COL4A4, and COL4A5 genes, which lead to defects in glomerular filtration barrier and other basement membrane. The diagnosis of Alport syndrome should be suspected in patients with glomerular hematuria and with family history of renal failure. The severity of the individual symptoms and renal prognosis are variable and depend on gene mutation type. The current standard of treatment is the use of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, which delay the progression of renal failure in Alport syndrome. The recent knowledge in pathogenesis of disease opens new therapeutic perspectives

Formal Restrictions On Multiple Tiers

In this paper, we use harmony systems with multiple feature spreadings as a litmus test for the possible configurations of items involved in certain dependence. The subregular language classes, and the class of tier-based strictly local (TSL) languages in particular, have shown themselves as a good fit for different aspects of natural language. It is also known that there are some patterns that cannot be captured by a single TSL grammar. However, no proposed limitations exist on tier alphabets of several cooperating TSL grammars. While theoretically possible relations among tier alphabets of several TSL grammars are containment, disjunction and intersection, the latter one appears to be unattested. Apart from presenting the typological overview, we discuss formal reasons that might explain such distribution

Development of an Extruded Potato Snack Using Recycled Materials

The study is aimed at solving the problem of snacks deficiency corresponding to the concept of a balanced diet. Snacks were made using rational process parameters using fish powder obtained from the fillet waste of protein-rich salmon and malt grains rich in dietary fiber. The composition of the recipe mixture was optimized through calculation and a series of experiments. In investigate took as calculated variables the starch and fat content in the recipe mixture and the biological value; as response variables, organoleptic properties and expansion coefficient. The result was an extruded snack, consisting of 79% of crushed dried potatoes, of 8% of fish powder and of 12% of malt grains, which, in comparison with similar snacks, has a higher biological value of 83%, an increased protein content of 14.5% and a dietary fiber value of 8.4 %, a reduced fat content of 1% and a reduced energy value of 340 kcal. The analysis of the quality indicators of the snack confirmed that this product satisfies the requirements for snacks in terms of physicochemical, organoleptic, microbiological and safety indicators. The developed potato extruded snack is targeted at different population groups and is a healthier alternative to potato chips
