Representations of the nature and origin of human psyche in the early works of A.N. Leontiev
Background. The issue of the nature and origin of human psyche as a universal puzzle does not have a final solution for today. So, ideas about the subject matter of psychology, the issue of nature and the origin of human psyche discussed by A.N. Leontiev have not lost their significance for modern psychology.
Objective is to introduce the original assumptions of A.N. Leontiev that he coins discussing the nature of human psyche psyche and its origin in the course of the evolution of living beings.
Design. In this paper, the early representations of A.N. Leontiev about the nature and origin of human psyche are analyzed. The heuristic assumption of A.N. Leontiev about some living beings possessing the ability to react to external influences by displaying deep emotion or changing their primary sensation of various modality, which can be considered a pre-mental (biological) reflection, which further sets as reflection. The external objective activity of living beings changes their feelings as if they refer
organism condition. The activity allows not only to create a motor image of the behaviour space, but also to use the primary experiences (feelings) to create ideas about the
objects.
Results. These assumptions make it possible to view the psyche as a representation of the subject of activity and perception about the objective conditions and integral objects of the behavioural space that create the illusion of opening up the space for oneβs behavior. Such illusion arises due to the actual physical interaction of the subject of behaviour with the real objects of the external world.
Conclusion. A.N. Leontievβs assumptions about the nature and origin of human psyche allow to elaborate a number of important provisions on this issue, which will be of great interest for modern psychologists and will occupy a worthy place in the theory of psychological science
Impact of the 2015 Migration Crisis on German Food Security
The article considers some social and political consequences of the migration crisis of 2015 in the Federal Republic of Germany, as well as its impact on food security in the country. In order to as- sess the latter, the statistical data related to socioeconomic factors important for food security were analyzed. Both the problems faced by migrants and their positive contribution to the agricultural sector, as well as the methods taken by Germany to improve the situation of migrants were high- lighted. The most important factor influencing food security in the conditions of sharp population growth caused by the migration crisis is adaptation, since both the further involvement of migrants in the economic life of the country and their further prosperous existence depend on its success. The effectiveness of measures taken by the German government for adaptation of migrants ensured a significant contribution to the preservation of the former level of food security in the changed conditions of the state
Scaling of THz-conductivity at metal-insulator transition in doped manganites
Magnetic field and temperature dependence of the Terahertz conductivity and
permittivity of the colossal magnetoresistance manganite
Pr_{0.65}Ca_{0.28}Sr_{0.07}MnO_3 (PCSMO) is investigated approaching the
metal-to-insulator transition (MIT) from the insulating side. In the
charge-ordered state of PCSMO both conductivity and dielectric permittivity
increase as function of magnetic field and temperature. Universal scaling
relationships between the changes in permittivity and conductivity are observed
in a broad range of temperatures and magnetic fields. Similar scaling is also
seen in La_{1-x}Sr_xMnO_3 for different doping levels. The observed
proportionality points towards the importance of pure ac-conductivity and
phononic energy scale at MIT in manganites.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figure
The history of Drosophila studies: steps in the development of genetics
Experimental genetic studies of Drosophila were initiated by T.H. Morgan in 1910, when he discovered the sex-linked white-eyed mutation, white. This discovery commenced the transformation of Mendelβs βhereditary factorsβ to more specific butΒ no less enigmatic W.L. Johanssenβs βgenesβ. Owing to Drosophilaβs biologic features, it became a universal eukaryotic model for genetic, embryological, morphological, physiological, molecular, and cellular studies. Actually, the history of discoveries done on Drosophila species reflects the course of genetics development. That was Drosophila studies to lay foundation for genetic notions of the nature of genes, genetic linkage, mitotic and meiotic chromosome segregation, mechanisms governing mutagenesis and recombination, genetic instability, mobile genetic elements, regularities and geneticsΒ of individual development, and microevolutionary processes in populations. The paper considersΒ steps and milestones of genetics development by examples of the American and Russian genetic schools. The American genetics was characterizedΒ by βreductionismβ, whereas the Russian genetics was inclined to βcosmismβ, where emphasis was placed on the understanding of macroevolutionary processes. Drosophila has become a test ground to try new genetic methods, and its studies contribute much to biomedical science. The paper outlines several top priority fields in modern Drosophila studies
Possible evidence for electromagnons in multiferroic manganites
Magnetodielectric materials are characterized by a strong coupling of
magnetic and dielectric properties and in rare cases simultaneously exhibit
both, magnetic and polar order. Among other multiferroics, TbMnO3 and GdMnO3
reveal a strong magneto-dielectric (ME) coupling and as a consequence
fundamentally new spin excitations exist: Electro-active magnons, or
electromagnons, i. e. spin waves which can be excited by ac electric fields.
Here we show that these excitations appear in the phase with an incommensurate
(IC) magnetic structure of the manganese spins. In external magnetic fields
this IC structure can be suppressed and the electromagnons are wiped out,
thereby inducing considerable changes in the index of refraction from dc up to
THz frequencies. Hence, besides adding a new creature to the zoo of fundamental
excitations, the refraction index can be tuned by moderate magnetic fields,
which allows the design of a new generation of optical switches and
optoelectronic devices.Comment: 4 Pages, 2 figure
High-field AFMR in single-crystalline La_{0.95}Sr_{0.05}MnO_3: Experimental evidence for the existence of a canted magnetic structure
High-field antiferromagnetic-resonance (AFMR) spectra were obtained in the
frequency range 60 GHz < \nu < 700 GHz and for magnetic fields up to 8 T in
twin-free single crystals of La_{0.95}Sr_{0.05}MnO_3. At low temperatures two
antiferromagnetic modes were detected, which reveal different excitation
conditions and magnetic field dependencies. No splitting of these modes was
observed for any orientation of the static magnetic field excluding the
phase-separation scenario for this composition. Instead, the full data set
including the anisotropic magnetization can be well described using a
two-sublattice model of a canted antiferromagnetic structure.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figure

Damage to the Cardiovascular System in Patients with SARS-CoV-2 Coronavirus Infection. Part 1: Predictors of the Development of an Unfavorable Prognosis
Aim. To evaluate the effect of sinus tachycardia and reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) on the prognosis of patients with a verified diagnosis of a new coronavirus infection SARS-CoV-2.Material and methods. The study included 1,637 patients with a verified diagnosis of a new coronavirus infection SARS-CoV-2. The average age of the patients was 58.8Β±16.1 years. More than half of the patients admitted to the hospital had a history of cardiovascular diseases: hypertension was diagnosed in 915 (56%) patients, coronary artery disease β in 563 (34%), chronic heart failure β in 410 (25%). 294 (17.9%) patients suffered from diabetes mellitus. The unfavorable course of new coronavirus infection was assessed by the fact of being in the intensive care unit (ICU), the use of mechanical ventilation and death.Results. An unfavorable course of coronavirus infection was observed in 160 (9.8%) patients. Statistical analysis revealed that 341 (20.8%) patients with COVID-19 were diagnosed with sinus tachycardia, which required the appointment of pulse-reducing therapy. The occurrence of sinus tachycardia in patients with COVID-19 significantly increased the risk of death (odds ratio [OR] 1.248, confidence interval [CI] 1.038-1.499, p=0.018), increased the likelihood of mechanical ventilation use (OR 1.451, CI 1.168-1.803, p<0.001) and stay in the ICU (OR 1.440, CI 1.166-1.778, p<0.001).In 97 (5.9%) patients during hospital stay during echocardiography, a decrease in LVEF of less than 50% was diagnosed. A decrease in myocardial contractile function in patients with COVID-19 with high reliability increased the risk of death (OR 1.744, CI 1.348-2.256, p<0.001), increased the likelihood of using the mechanical ventilation (OR 1.372, CI 1.047-1.797, p=0.022) and stay in the ICU (OR 1.360, CI 1.077-1.716, p=0.010).Conclusion. The appearance of sinus tachycardia and reduced LVEF are in dependent predictors of the unfavorable course of COVID-19 in relation to factors such as death, the use of mechanical ventilation and the stay of patients in the ICU. Early pharmacological correction of cardiovascular lesions should be one of the goals of the management theese patients
