Estimating the Impact of Economic Fluctuations on Unemployment in Russian Regions Based on the Okun Model.

Based on the modified Okun's model, the article evaluates the impact of changes in production volumes on the dynamics of unemployment in Russia and three regional clusters differing in the unemployment rate and behavioral responses to economic shocks. Assessing the specifications of the basic Okun model on the data of 2010-2020 made it possible to identify a cyclical reaction of the unemployment rate in heterogeneous regional clusters to changes in output volumes.

[Anxiogenic and mnestic effects of corticoliberin and its analogs introduced into the brain ventriculi of rats].

The behavioral effects of native human corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) and its agonists D-Glu-20 (R1) and D-Pro-5 (R2) introduced (0.01 - 1 microg) into the lateral brain ventriculi of Sprague-Dowley rats have been studied in the open field, dark - light, Y-maze, and place preference tests. The different effects of CRH and its agonists on the anxiety level and short-term memory were revealed.

[Instrumental autogenic training of the mechanisms of regulation of the cardiovascular system functions in the treatment of patients with neuroses].

It is advisable that in the treatment of neurotic patients with marked vegetovascular manifestations, instrumental autotraining may be employed. It includes biomonitoring with pulse rate feedback according to the alternating sinusoidal law. The procedure of the autotraining is described in detail.
