Influence of typological features of higher nervous activity on the specifics of developing a dynamic stereotype in the process of correcting sound pronunciation in preschool children

In the process of forming sound skills, it is necessary to take into account not only the methodological and theoretical requirements for the implementation of speech therapy work, but also the psychophysiological patterns of the organization of higher nervous activity, which allowsyou to competently build a didactic trajectory of work with a child, predict the pedagogical result, increase the efficiency of mastering motor dynamic stereotypes in the process of automating the set sounds.

Establishing the level of sports preparedness of 8–10-year old kickboxers

Kickboxing is one of the most attractive and dynamic modern sports. It combines the most effective techniques with legs and hands from karate and classic boxing. This symbiosis between the two sports makes it an exciting spectacle attracting numerous admirers. Kickboxing is not a demonstration game designed solely for audiences and entertainment. It is a sport discipline and, as such, is subject to the general methodological foundations and norms of sports training. The application of the general principles and laws in the kickbox training process is hampered by the lack of a scientifically based, in-depth research on this sport (Lefterov 2006: 27, Kaikov, Yonov 2001, Zlatev 2010: 122, Pavlova, Petkova 2017: 79). This is a sport with a complex motoring activity that manifests itself in constantly changing and extreme conditions of training and competition. Kickboxing practitioners are subjected to great physical and mental stresses.They have to master and apply a great arsenal of complex dynamic stereotypes in the ring, in the context of an acute conflict with an opponent who actively counters them. The time deficiency in which an exchange takes place shows that, in addition to physical qualities, the kickboxer must also possess a specific sport intelligence to realize in the conditions of the training and the race. The technical arsenal that every kickboxer has to master is diverse and coordinated. It can be divided into two parts: technique of attack and defense technique (Lefterov 2006: 27, Kaikov,,Yonov 2001, Zlatev 2010: 122, Pavlova, Petkova 2017: 79).

Ethnic Mentality in the Context of a Folklore Culture

The study of a foreign language is inseparable from the understanding of the culture of its speakers, and the study of culture will inevitably touch on the national features of ethnicity. The character of ethnos is due to and at the same time is the guiding vector at the moment of interpretation of the life of the people, the history and culture. The paper analyses in a comparative view the French and the Russian folk songs and the Spanish romance with a similar initial situation and different options of development/stagnation of intrigue, which is due to the exclusivity of national worldview and is a bright example of its implementation. The local diversity of dynamic stereotypes is determined both by the specifics of the performance of folklore, formed historically during the process of oral translation in conditions of continuity and variability, and often by extramusical factors. The long lyrical reflections from the first person (Russian, Spanish versions) contrast the cheerful novelist message from the third person (French version). A certain convergence between Spanish and Russian variants (opposed to the French one) of the interpretation of the topic under consideration is explained by the thesis on the proximity of Russian and Spanish souls, which, in turn, is due to the border specificity of the linguistic and cultural space of Russian-speaking and Spanish-speaking civilization models.

Women and Men of the Past, Present, and Future: Evidence of Dynamic Gender Stereotypes in Ghana

People represent social groups by their trajectories through time, producing dynamic stereotypes. To the extent that these stereotypes derive from observations of group members’ behaviors in their typical roles, change in the roles of women and men over time should fuel beliefs that the sexes adopt traits associated with their new roles. Thus, earlier studies have found that stereotypes about the past, present, and future traits of women and men are consistent with beliefs about changes in their social roles. To examine such dynamic stereotypes in an African context, 150 participants from Ghana rated the likelihood of gender-stereotypic personality, cognitive, and physical characteristics of women or men of the past, present, or future in their society. Among the major findings were perceptions of increases over time in women’s masculine characteristics and men’s feminine characteristics. Also, both sexes increased in masculine and feminine cognitive characteristics. Comparison of these Ghanaian findings with those obtained earlier from five other countries revealed both similarities and differences.

Maladaptive Plasticity Induces Degradation of Fine Motor Skills in Musicians

Performing music at a professional level is probably one of the most complex human accomplishments requiring extensive training periods. The superior skills of musicians are mirrored in plastic adaptations of the brain involving gray and white matter increase in sensory motor and auditory areas and enlargement of receptive fields. Motor disturbances in musicians are common and include mild forms, such as temporary motor fatigue, painful overuse injuries following prolonged practice, anxiety-related motor failures during performances, and more persistent losses of motor control, termed “dynamic stereotypes.” Musician’s dystonia is characterized by a permanent loss of motor control when playing a musical instrument linked to genetic susceptibility and to maladaptive plasticity. In this review article, we argue that these motor failures developing on a continuum from motor fatigue to musician’s dystonia require client tailored treatment and accordingly specific psychological and neurological interventions.

Dynamics of Indicators of Immune Status in the Students of Medical College

The authors studied the state of the indicators of the immune system in the dynamics of their first year in medical school at the female students aged 15-17 years, recognized the results of medical examination of apparently healthy. In characterizing the state of cell-mediated immunity it was revealed reduction of immune-biological resistance in healthy students, manifested by the weakening of T-and B-immunity with severe tensions in the anti-viral defense, as evidenced by the significant increase in the peripheral blood cyto-toxic T lymphocytes [CD8 (+)] and NK-cells [CD16 (+)] and a decrease in the functional activity of neutrophilic granulocytes (NG). It is important that even after staying on vacation for the new academic year, these figures do not reach the initial level and remained statistically significant lower level, although there was some tendency to normalize. Thus, the authors assume that the identified changes may involve a violation of the processes of adaptation of students caused by the restructuring of dynamic stereotypes in the transition from school to the secondary vocational education with unusual difficulties on training exercise, which may be inadequate functionality of a growing and developing organism.
