THE INFLUENCE OF UNHEALTHY NEUROTICISM ON THE PECULIARITIES OF PERSONAL DECISION MAKING.

Objective: The aim: To determine the influence of unhealthy neuroticism (the high level of personal neuroticism) on the properties of the decision-making process, to identify the differences in the decision-making process features of persons with high and low levels of neuroticism.

Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: A comparative design was used with two contrasting groups, which differed in the level of neuroticism. Causal relationships were defined using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA).

NEUROTIC CONDITIONS: PROBLEM, DIAGNOSIS, CORRECTION BY COGNITIVE-BEHAVIOR THERAPY.

Objective: The aim: To identify the relationship between neurotic states and hardiness as an indicator of mental health, to explore the possibility of using the cognitive-behavior therapy techniques to correct neurotic states in young people.

Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: The methods "Clinical questionnaire for the detection and evaluation of neurotic conditions" (K. Yakhin, D.

Perspectives of climate change: A comparison of scientific understanding and local interpretations by different Western Siberian communities.

We present a study of social effects of climate change as experienced by local communities, based on field research and analysis in Western Siberia, from southern taiga to tundra. The results of field anthropological research reveal different attitudes of local residents to climate change. We compare the key trends of climate change with the perspectives of local residents, based on memories, subjective experiences, and local environmental knowledge.

[Catecholamines and their metabolites in children with Asperger and Kanner syndromes].

Children with Asperger and Kanner syndromes in the stable state demonstrate similar decrease in plasma norepinephrine. In the aggravated state, these changes become more expressed and are characterized by a decrease in plasma tyrosine, norepinephrine, normetanephrine and by an increase in dopamine and homovanylic acid and a decrease in excretion of norepinephrine and an increase in excretion of homovanylic acid, epinephrine and MHPG. Only in children with Kanner syndrome in the aggravated state plasma MHPG increases, excretion of tyrosine decreases and excretion of normetanephrine increases.

[Influence of alpha-lipoic acid on liver glutathione system of healthy and Ehrlich ascites carcinoma transplanted mice].

Influence of alpha-lipoic acid (LA) on liver glutathione system of Ehrlich ascites carcinoma (EAC) transplanted mice was studied. LA causes multidirectional influence on glutathione system of healthy mice. EAC transforms LA influence, strengthening prooxidative effects more expressed at introduction in early terms after inoculation of the tumor.
