ЕМОЦІЙНА ЗРІЛІСТЬ ОСОБИСТОСТІ: ПРАКТИЧНІ ПРОБЛЕМИ ПСИХОЛОГІЧНОЇ ДІАГНОСТИКИ

In the dif?cult conditions of the contemporary society which are far from being favorable to maintain one’s emotional and physical health the problem of development and achievement of emotional maturity as a factor of the well-being is getting more signi?cant. Based on the theoretical concepts of different scientists who de?ned the construct of emotional maturity three groups of psychological methods for assessing emotional maturity are analyzed. The ?rst group includes the methods that are used to assess emotional maturity explicitly and have a theoretical or empirical veri?cation. The second group includes the methods that are intended to assess emotional maturity as a separate scale complimented by other scales, related to evaluating other aspects of emotionality in  the  structure  of  the  personality.  The  third  group  includes  the  methods  in  which  emotional maturity is mentioned in the description of other psychic phenomena, or in the interpretation of certain factors (scales). Psychodiagnostic methods studying different parameters depending on the theoretical concepts of the authors about the structure and content of the emotional maturity of the personality make references to concepts of emotional development, consciousness, cognitive and volitional capacities of the personality and the coping strategies the individual prefer to use. The problem of developing valid and reliable psychodiagnostic methods of studying emotional maturity of the adult personality as a holistic phenomenon still awaits attention and retains its signi?cance.Рассмотрены теоретические основы изучения эмоциональной зрелости личности, приведены ее характерные признаки.

The Riemann problem for functions with polar lines of higher orders

© 2014, Allerton Press, Inc. We consider solutions of the jump problem, homogeneous and inhomogeneous Riemann problems for functions with polar lines of orders pk +1 (k = 1, 2, … ), pk ⩾ 0. We study the cases of continuous and discontinuous coefficients. In the special case pk = 0 the obtained results turn into the earlier known ones

High purity β-Bi2O3 preparation by thermal decomposition of tartrates

The processes of oxidative thermolysis of bismuth(III) DL-tartrate BiC4H3O6 obtained by the interaction of high-purity basic bismuth(III) nitrates [Bi6O4(OH)4](NO3)6·H2O and [Bi6O5(OH)3](NO3)5·3H2O with DL-tartaric acid solution have been investigated. The products of precipitation have been studied by methods of X-ray diffraction and thermal analysis, IR and Raman spectroscopy and chemical analysis. The staging of thermal transformation processes has been determined. Morphological studies and grain size analysis of initial precursors and final products of their thermal transformations have been carried out. The possibility of obtaining fine crystalline powders of tetragonal bismuth(III) oxide modification β-Bi2O3 by oxidative thermolysis of DL-BiC4H3O6 has been shown

Asymptotics of conditional probabilities of succesful allocation of random number of particles into cells

© 2017 Walter de Gruyter GmbH, Berlin/Boston 2017. The article is devoted to the memory of Valentin Fedorovich Kolchin. Let ζ, ζ i (i N) be independent identically distributed nonnegative integer-valued random variables, (η i1 ,.., η iN ) be the fillings of cells in the generalized scheme of allocation of ζ i particles into N cells, 1 ≤ i ≤ n, for fixed Z n = (ζ 1 , .., ζ n ) these allocation schemes are independent. We consider the conditional probabilities P(A n,N | Z n ) of the event A n,N = {each cell in each of n allocation schemes contains no more than r particles}, where r is some fixed number. The sufficient conditions for the convergence of the sequence P(A n,N | Z n ) to a nonrandom limit with probability 1 are given. It is shown that the random variable ln P(A n,N | Z n ) is asymptotically normal. Applications of the obtained results to the noise-proof encoding are discussed

Discriminability of tryptophan containing dipeptides using quantum control

We show that the coherent manipulation of molecular wavepackets in the excited states of trp-containing dipeptides allows efficient discrimination among them. Optimal dynamic discrimination fails, however, for some dipeptide couples. When considering the limited spectral resources at play (3nm bandwidth at 266nm), we discuss the concept of discriminability, which appears uncorrelated to both static spectra and relaxation lifetime

Analyzing the Influence of Diatomite and Mineral Fertilizers on the Features of Cadmium-Contaminated Urban Lawns

Contamination with heavy metals is among key anthropogenic pressures, experienced by urban lawns. It results in depletion of their environmental quality and functions. Implementation of fertilizers, containing silicon, is a promising approach to increase urban lawns’ sustainability to heavy metals’ pollution. Based on the field experiment, an influence of cadmium contamination on the chemical features and biomass quality of modeled urban green lawn ecosystems was studied. We demonstrated an increase of cadmium consumption by biomass on the second year of observations as the result of diatomite implementation together with mineral fertilizers. Both total sugar and disaccharides’ content in biomass was 15-20% higher for the contaminated plots where diatomite was implemented together with mineral fertilizers, compared to the uncontaminated control. This evidences a positive effect of the implemented reclaiming on stress tolerance of the green lawns

Immunization with the Haemophilus ducreyi Hemoglobin Receptor HgbA Protects against Infection in the Swine Model of Chancroid

The etiologic agent of chancroid is Haemophilus ducreyi. To fulfill its obligate requirement for heme, H. ducreyi uses two TonB-dependent receptors: the hemoglobin receptor (HgbA) and a receptor for free heme (TdhA). Expression of HgbA is necessary for H. ducreyi to survive and initiate disease in a human model of chancroid. In this study, we used a swine model of H. ducreyi infection to demonstrate that an experimental HgbA vaccine efficiently prevents chancroid, as determined by several parameters. Histological sections of immunized animals lacked typical microscopic features of chancroid. All inoculated sites from mock-immunized pigs yielded viable H. ducreyi cells, whereas no viable H. ducreyi cells were recovered from inoculated sites of HgbA-immunized pigs. Antibodies from sera of HgbA-immunized animals bound to and initiated antibody-dependent bactericidal activity against homologous H. ducreyi strain 35000HP and heterologous strain CIP542 ATCC; however, an isogenic hgbA mutant of 35000HP was not killed, proving specificity. Anti-HgbA immunoglobulin G blocked hemoglobin binding to the HgbA receptor, suggesting a novel mechanism of protection through the limitation of heme/iron acquisition by H. ducreyi. Such a vaccine strategy might be applied to other bacterial pathogens with strict heme/iron requirements. Taken together, these data suggest continuing the development of an HgbA subunit vaccine to prevent chancroid
