Anomie is a sociological term that expresses the state that we can describe as a condition without law or rules. In the school environment, the condition is manifested by the failure to comply with the rules, and broken relationships between students as well as in relation to teachers and authorities in general. A state of anomie in the school environment reduces the effectiveness of the teaching process and creates an environment for the emergence of pathological phenomena that can affect the development of students and cause long-term negative consequences. In the pilot study, we selected the specific school environment that manifested the signs of anomie. Subsequently, we carried out research on the chosen environment with specific attention to the manifestations but also the perceptions of an anomic state in the school environment. We decided for our own research method, because the available methods from social sciences were developed for the needs of other target groups and are not suitable for the school environment. The study results show specific manifestations of anomie in the behavior and thinking of students and teachers. It was confirmed that teachers and poor emphasis on the validity of the existing rules have a great impact on the emergence of anomie. The tendencies to develop pathological phenomena in the anomic environment were also confirmed. The study results in the specific findings that should be part of a holistic preventive programme.

The implementation of this policy is motivated by the still occurrence of problems in the educational environment such as in the school environment where cases of bullying or hazing still often occur to students, especially those who have just entered school so that seniority actions can have a negative impact on students. Therefore, a character education policy based on local wisdom of Sundanese culture was created, named Bandung Masagi with the aim of growing the perfect character of students. The purpose of this study was to identify and describe the implementation of the Bandung Masagi policy. The research method used by the researcher is a descriptive method with a qualitative approach. Data collection techniques used: observation, interviews and literature study. The results of the study reveal that the implementation of Bandung Masagi's policy has been running, but not yet optimal, dimensionally there are still obstacles. In terms of Policy Content, Policy Executors & Target Groups and Environment The novelty of this research is a policy of character education based on Sundanese local wisdom.

Исследована проблема адаптивности личности к изменившимся условиям жизни вследствие переломных событий. Измерены такие показатели адаптивности, как «поведенческая регуляция», «коммуникативные способности», «моральная нормативность». Индикаторами адаптивности выступили «сопротивляемость стрессу», «депрессивные состояния», «тревога», «копинги». В качестве способа активизации адаптивности реализована программа психологической коррекции. В исследовании приняли участие две группы респондентов. Одна группа – в долгосрочной программе психологической коррекции, представители другой предпочли справляться с последствиями переломных жизненных событий без профессиональной психологической помощи. Психодиагностические процедуры осуществлялись в обеих группах в два этапа. На первом этапе в каждой группе была проведена диагностика адаптивности и индикаторов адаптивности. Второй этап психодиагностических замеров осуществлялся после того, как участники психокоррекционной программы завершили свою работу. Динамика адаптивности фиксировалась посредством сопоставления результатов замеров первого и второго этапа друг с другом в каждой из групп. Установлено, что в результате психокоррекционной работы происходит формирование новых адаптивных моделей функционирования человека, столкнувшегося с переломным событием. Снижается уровень тревоги и тяжесть депрессивных состояний, растет личностный адаптационный потенциал и сопротивляемость стрессу, активируются конструктивные способы совладающего поведения. Выявлен психологический феномен разнополюсной взаимосвязи адаптивности мужчин и женщин, переживающих последствия переломных событий, с их нервно-психической устойчивостью, депрессивными тенденциями и тревогой. В процессе психокоррекционной работы формируется установка на активное преодоление переломных событий и совладание с их негативными последствиями, активизируются стратегии проактивного копинга, направленные на активное целеполагание, привлечение социальных ресурсов для получения поддержки и разрешения сложившихся проблемных жизненных ситуаций. The problem of the individual’s adaptability to the changed life conditions as a result of the life-changing events is considered in the article. The measures of adaptability are the following: “behavioral regulation”, “communicative skills”, “moral normativity”. The indicators of adaptability are “resistance to stress”, “depression”, “anxiety”, “copings”. As a way to activate adaptability the programme of psychological correction is actualized. Two groups of respondents took part in the study. Representatives of one group participated in a long-term psychological correction programme. Representatives of another group preferred to cope with the consequences of life-changing events without professional psychological help. Psychodiagnostic procedures was put into practice in both groups in two stages. At the first stage each group was diagnosed on adaptability and indicators of adaptability. The second stage of psychodiagnostic measurements was in each group after the respondents of psychocorrection programme completed their work. The dynamics of adaptability was recorded by comparing the results of the first and second stage measurements in each group. It is established that as a result of psychocorrection new adaptive models of person’s functioning who faced a life-changing event are formed. The level of anxiety and severity of depressive states decreases, the personal adaptive potential and resistence to stress increases, constructive ways of coping behaviour are activated. The psychological phenomenon of the multipolar connection between men’s and women’s adaptability experiencing the consequences of life-changing events with their neuropsychiatric stability, depressive tendencies and anxiety is found. In the process of psychocorrection work, an attitude is formed to actively overcome critical events and cope with their negative consequences, proactive coping strategies are activated, aimed at active goal-setting, attracting social resources to receive support and resolve existing problematic life situations.

ABSTRACT Introduction Although retrospective analyses have found that combat-injured service members are at high risk for mental and physical health outcomes following injury, relatively little is known about the long-term health of injured service members. To better understand long-term health outcomes after combat injury, a large, prospective observational cohort collecting both subjective and objective health data is needed. Given that a study of this nature would be costly and face many logistical challenges, we first conducted a pilot to assess the feasibility of a larger, definitive study. Materials and Methods We ran a prospective, observational pilot study of 119 combat-injured service members and veterans who completed (1) at least one set of laboratory measurements (blood and urine sample collection and vitals measurements) at Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendment of 1988 compliant laboratory locations and (2) at least one online assessment for the Wounded Warrior Recovery Project (WWRP), a 15-year examination of patient-reported outcomes among service members injured on combat deployment. We recruited the pilot study cohort from WWRP participants who met eligibility criteria and indicated interest in additional research opportunities. We collected laboratory values and patient-reported outcomes at baseline and again 1 year later, and obtained demographic, injury, and military service data from the Expeditionary Medical Encounter Database. The David Grant USAF Medical Center Institution Review Board (IRB) and the Naval Health Research Center IRB reviewed and approved the study protocols. Results During recruitment for the pilot study, 624 study candidates were identified from WWRP. Of the 397 candidates we contacted about the pilot study, 179 (45.1%) enrolled and 119 (66.4%) of those who enrolled completed the first year of participation. The second study year was suspended due to the coronavirus disease-2019 pandemic. At the time of suspension, 72 (60.5%) participants completed follow-up laboratory appointments, and 111 (93.3%) completed second-year WWRP assessments. Participants in the pilot study were predominately male (95.0%) and non-Hispanic White (55.5%), with a median (interquartile range) age of 38.3 (34.1-45.4) years. Conclusions Collection of patient-reported outcomes and laboratory samples in a geographically dispersed cohort of combat-injured service members is possible. While significant challenges exist, our pilot study results indicate that a larger, longitudinal, cohort study is feasible.

Resting Motor Threshold

Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) uses a magnetic coil to induce an electric field in brain tissue. As a pilot study, we investigated the effect of rTMS treatment on 10 volunteers with Alzheimer's disease (AD) in a two-stage study. The first stage consisted of a double-blind crossover study with real and sham treatments. Each treatment block consisted of 13 sessions over 4 weeks. During each session, 2000 TMS pulses at 90%-100% of resting motor threshold were applied to dorsolateral prefrontal cortex bilaterally, and the patients were kept cognitively active by object/action naming during the treatment. The second stage was an open-label study, in which the same treatments were performed in 2-week blocks (10 sessions) approximately every 3 months as follow-up treatments on six of the volunteers, who completed the first stage of the study. Primary outcome measures were the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MOCA) and the Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale-cognitive subscale. The secondary outcome measures were the Revised Memory and Behavior Checklist as well as our team's custom-designed cognitive assessments. The results showed a noticeably stronger improvement on all assessments during the real treatment as compared to the sham treatment. The changes in MOCA scores as well as our designed cognitive assessment were found to be statistically significant, with particularly strong results in the six volunteers who were in the early stages of the disease. The long-term trends observed in the second stage of the study also showed generally less decline than would be expected for their condition. It appears that rTMS can be an effective tool for improving the cognitive abilities of patients with early to moderate stages of AD. However, the positive effects of rTMS may persist for only up to a few weeks. Specific skills being practiced during rTMS treatment may retain their improvement for longer periods.

Preeclampsia is a common hypertensive disorder in pregnant women and whose causes and consequences have focused primarily on cardiovascular outcomes on the mother and offspring, often without taking into consideration the possible effects on the brain. One possible cause of preeclampsia has been attributed to alterations in the renin-angiotensin system, which has also been linked to cognitive decline. In this pilot study, we use a transgenic mouse model that chronically overexpresses human angiotensinogen and renin (R+A+ mice) that displayed characteristics of preeclampsia such as proteinuria during gestation. Offspring of these mothers as well as from control mothers were also examined. We were primarily interested in detecting whether cognitive deficits were present in the mothers and offspring in the long term and used a spatial learning and memory task as well as an object recognition task at three timepoints: 3, 8, and 12 months post-partum or post-natal, while measuring blood pressure and performing urine analysis after each timepoint. While we did not find significant deficits in preeclamptic mothers at the later timepoints, we did observe negative consequences in the pups of R+A+ mice that coincided with hemodynamic alterations whereby pups had higher whisker-evoked oxygenated hemoglobin levels and increased cerebral blood flow responses compared to control pups. Our study provides validation of this preeclampsia mouse model for future studies to decipher the underlying mechanisms of long-term cognitive deficits found in offspring.

In this study, they have been dealt with safe school and school climate concept as an important factor to improvement of safe school. When the researches and projects aimed at preventing violence at schools and creating a safe school environment are examined, the short term projects and precautions directly related to violence do not present the desired results, and in addition, they cause some negative consequences in school environment. In this respect, it is indicated that violence prevention projects and programs need to pervade the school's and education programs' every part, and to be handled using a more general approach. School climate is one of the most prominent concepts, in this sense. In this research, first of all, safe school concept was defined and information was given about research and other studies related to safe school subject. Afterwards, school climate concept was introduced and it was examined how school climate affect creating safe schools. It was determined that studies carried out to create safe school environment should handle school holistically, support students goodness at school, ensure students to have positive behavior, and be long term. Also, prevention activities should integrate all areas, primarily teaching-learning process, of school life. It is stated that, in this respect, the most related and mostly emphasized concept is school climate. Therefore, it can be asserted that the prior condition of a safe school is making school climate more positive.

The article deals with the requirements and needs for long-term digital preservation in different areas of scholarly work. The concept of long-term digital preservation is introduced by comparing it to digitization and archiving concepts and defined with the emphasis on dynamic activity within a certain time line. The structure of digital preservation is presented with regard to the elements of the activity as understood in Activity Theory. The life-cycle of digitization processes forms the basis of the main processing of preserved data in preservation archival system.The author draws on the differences between humanities and social sciences on one hand and natural and technological science on the other. The empirical data characterizing the needs for digital preservation within different areas of scholarship are presented and show the difference in approaches to long-term digital preservation, as well as differences in selecting the items and implementing the projects of digital preservation. Institutions and organizations can also develop different understanding of preservation requirements for digital documents and other objects.The final part of the paper is devoted to some general problems pertaining to the longterm digital preservation with the emphasis of the responsibility for the whole process of safe-guarding the cultural and scholarly heritage for the re-use of the posterior generations. It is suggested that the longevity of the libraries in comparison with much shorter life-span of private companies strengthens the claim of memory institutions to playing the central role in the long-term digital preservation.
