Review of Recent Patents on Smart Bearing

Background: Smart bearing is based on the traditional bearing, which is integrated by sensing devices and control devices, formating a unique bearing structure unit. It uses information processing, automatic control, and other technologies to achieve real-time online monitoring of bearing operating conditions, fault detection, and state control. Compared with ordinary bearings, smart bearings have the characteristics of self-awareness, self-decision, and self-regulation. By analyzing the composition of various types of smart bearings and their working principles, it is beneficial to prospect the future development direction of bearings. Objective: We analyze and organize the patents on smart bearings in recent years, summarize the problems encountered in the development of smart bearings, and propose the development direction of smart bearings in the future to provide a reference for future scientific research. Methods: This paper reviews the patents related to smart bearings and analyzes the composition and structure of smart bearings. The main smart bearings include rolling bearing, sliding bearing, magnetic bearing, and rubber bearing. The principle and structure of these bearings are analyzed. Their advantages and shortcomings are discussed. Results: Through the analysis of relevant patents and papers on smart bearings, the current development status and problems of smart bearings are summarized, the future design of smart bearings is proposed, and the research ideas and directions are proposed. Conclusion: The development of smart bearings is conducive to the timely detection of bearing conditions in the operation process. Except for detection, smart bearings have the functions of judgment, feedback, processing, etc. There are many factors that interfere with the accuracy of the smart bearing judgment and information transfer, so it is necessary to improve the structure and working principle of smart bearings through a variety of measures. In the future, more smart bearings will be invented.

Characteristics of self-regulation of the epidemic process of infection caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (Herpesviridae: Lymphocryptovirus, HHV-4).

Among the available scientific literature, there are no publications addressing processes of self-regulation in the parasite-host population systems with reference to chronic infections, including the infection caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV infection). The aim of the study is to assess manifestations of the epidemic process of chronic EBV infection through the lens of the basic tenets of the theory of self-regulation of parasitic systems. The study was performed using data from scientific publications selected from such database sources as Scopus, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, PubMed, CyberLeninka, RSCI, etc. The list of analyzed publications included published articles of the authors of this study, reporting the results of the retrospective epidemiological analysis of the incidence of infectious mononucleosis in Russia in general and in Moscow in particular, as well as the results of the laboratory tests regarding the detection frequency of specific antibodies to EBV proteins. The chronic course of EBV infection promotes a close long-term interaction between the pathogen and the host. The genetic variability of the pathogen and the functions of specific and nonspecific human immune defense systems play a key role in the interaction between two heterogeneous populations and underlie their phasal self-transformation. A variety of social and natural factors (adverse chemical, physical, biological, climatic impacts, etc.) trigger the reactivation of chronic EBV infection, thus providing the continuous existence of additional sources of infection in the host population. The analysis of the manifestations of chronic EBV infection in the context of the theory of self-regulation of parasitic systems promotes the understanding of the factors underlying the unevenness of its epidemic process. The obtained data can be adjusted for other infections having similar transmission mechanisms and virus life cycles (including other herpes infections) to map out strategies to control the epidemic process of chronic infections spread by aerosol transmission of the pathogen.

Calorie Compensation Patterns Observed in App-Based Food Diaries.

Self-regulation of food intake is necessary for maintaining a healthy body weight. One of the characteristics of self-regulation is calorie compensation. Calorie compensation refers to adjusting the current meal's energy content based on the energy content of the previous meal(s). Preload test studies measure a single instance of compensation in a controlled setting. The measurement of calorie compensation in free-living conditions has largely remained unexplored. This paper proposes a methodology that leverages extensive app-based observational food diary data to measure an individual's calorie compensation profile in free-living conditions. Instead of a single compensation index followed in preload-test studies, we present the compensation profile as a distribution of days a user exhibits under-compensation, overcompensation, non-compensation, and precise compensation. We applied our methodology to the public food diary data of 1622 MyFitnessPal users. We empirically established that four weeks of food diaries were sufficient to characterize a user's compensation profile accurately. We observed that meal compensation was more likely than day compensation. Dinner compensation had a higher likelihood than lunch compensation. Precise compensation was the least likely. Users were more likely to overcompensate for missing calories than for additional calories. The consequences of poor compensatory behavior were reflected in their adherence to their daily calorie goal. Our methodology could be applied to food diaries to discover behavioral phenotypes of poor compensatory behavior toward forming an early behavioral marker for weight gain.

Synergism for lowering interfacial tensions between betaines and extended surfactants: The role of self-regulating molecular size

The synergism for reducing interfacial tensions (IFTs) between betaines and anionic extended surfactants with self-regulating ability was validated by experiments and molecular dynamics simulation. The IFTs of different betaines and different alkyl polypropylene ether sulfonates (APS) mixed solutions against decane and crude oil were investigated via the spinning drop method. The results demonstrate that the IFTs order of the three betaines is EDAS > ASB > XSB, which is consistent with their interfacial vacancies. Moreover, the interfacial activity of APS surfactants increases significantly and the IFTs decrease notably with the increase of propylene oxide (PO) numbers. For the betaines and APS surfactants mixed systems, the determining factor to reduce IFTs is not hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) but “size compatibility”. APS molecules can achieve a superior synergistic effect with different betaines by electrostatic attraction and size compatibility. The self-regulating characteristic of the flexible PO group enables the extended surfactants to exhibit certain synergistic effects with different betaines. What’s more, betaines and APS surfactants have a certain synergistic effect to reduce IFT values during a wide concentration ratio against crude oil. The findings of this study can help for better understanding of mixed surfactant solutions in enhanced oil recovery.

Exploring the Associations among Chinese Kindergartners between Academic Achievement and Behavioral, Cognitive and Emotional Self-Regulation

ABSTRACT Research Findings: Self-regulation is an important determinant of children’s developmental outcomes, but little research has explored its different facets simultaneously. This study aims to explore a sample of Chinese children’s behavioral, cognitive and emotional self-regulation characteristics by examining their gender and age differences, associations with academic outcomes and the moderating effects of age and gender on these associations. Results show that girls outperformed boys in behavioral and emotional self-regulation and K2 children failed to show any advantages on behavioral and emotional self-regulation compared with K1 children. All facets of self-regulation associated with children’s numeracy and literacy scores, while emotional self-regulation’s contribution was negative; neither age nor gender moderated these associations. Practice & Policy: The study considers Chinese children’s characteristics of self-regulation in terms of gender and age differences in the context of the broader literature. This study supports the contention that self-regulation may consist of different facets. Findings from this study also show the significance of self-regulation in preschoolers’ academic outcomes and the complex nature of these facets when they function on academic achievement.

Integration of Social Media into Daily Activity of Adolescents and Self-Regulation Characteristics

Introduction. Diverse domains of life become more digitalized, social media (social networks, blogs, and information sharing services) have become an intrinsic element of daily life and activities such as education. Positive and negative consequences of social media use were discovered, which increased the awareness of their involvement in adolescents’ and young people’s psychological well-being and socializing. However, the characteristics of self-regulation in the context of increased social media usage remain unexplored. The study examined the association between self-regulation characteristics and the degree to which social media is integrated into adolescents’ everyday activities. Materials and Methods. The study included 336 teenagers (12–17 years old). Self-regulation features (the SSPM-2020 V.I. Morosanova questionnaire) and social network activity (The scale of integration of social media into daily activity, time spent on it, the numbers of social networks) were assessed. Correlation, comparative, and cluster analyses were used to process the data. Results. The integration of social media into an adolescent’s everyday activities varies according to their level of self-regulation. However, formal factors (time and quantity of social networks) do not change between self-regulation levels. Throughout adolescence, social media use is relatively consistent. Girls showed a stronger behavioral and emotional attachment to social media and deeper integration into daily routines. Discussion and Conclusion. Self-regulation development can lead to academic performance and increased self-control in the digital world. When examining the effects of distance learning and developing programs to enhance online learning, meaningful parameters for measuring adolescentsʼ social media integration into their everyday activities may be required.

Gender features of psychological self-regulation of higher education seekers

The article highlights the problem of gender characteristics of psychological self-regulation of higher education applicants. The relevance of the mentioned issue is determined by the need to ensure the success of the individual in educational activities in the conditions of a gender-sensitive higher education institution. A brief analysis of the latest research and publications on the problems of gender education and psychological self-regulation was carried out. The theoretical and practical principles of psychological self-regulation and gender issues in education are substantiated. Ways to increase the level of self-regulation of higher education applicants in higher education institutions have been identified and experimentally verified. The article introduces the results of an empirical study that was conducted at the National University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine at the Faculty of Humanities and Pedagogy with the aim of determining the gender characteristics of psychological self-regulation of higher education applicants. The following methods were used: the method "Investigation of the level of self-regulation" (the author's method of I. A Usatov); the method "Investigation of voluntary self-regulation according to the questionnaire test of A. V. Zverkov and E. V. Eidman; the method "Style features of self-regulation of behavior" by V. I. Morosanova; non-standardized self-observation (keeping a diary of self-observations); observation and interview. The article also contains the results of the study of routine (everyday) self-regulation techniques of higher education applicants during the working day. The analysis of the research results showed that the ability to self-regulate remains a problematic issue, as the majority is unable to maintain a stable mental state in non-standard situations of educational activity, especially during physical and psychological influence on them and in non-standard, stressful situations. However, the higher education applicants are aware of the need to develop self-regulation skills. The following ways of acquiring skills and abilities of emotional self-regulation by students of higher education, taking into account gender characteristics, are defined, such as psychological training, autogenic training, development of pedagogical techniques, inclusion of gender courses in the training plans of specialists (for example, "Gender Psychology"), organization of various educational activities, conducting trainings for the university community. In order to increase the indicators of stress resistance, the ability to self-regulate and improve the skills of planning, modeling, programming, flexibility, independence and evaluating the results of one's own activities, the study participants were offered psychotraining of personality self-regulation and psychotraining "Gender in Education" and offered "Methodological recommendations for improving the level of self-regulation of higher education applicant on the basis of gender". The results of repeated diagnosis of levels of stress resistance and self-regulation of higher education applicants showed an increase in these indicators and proved the effectiveness of the proposed program. Therefore, self-regulation of behavior is an integrative property of the individual, which unites the intellectual, motivational, volitional, emotional sphere of the individual. The problems of self-regulation of the personality in order to achieve its success in educational activities are becoming more and more relevant for higher education teachers, scientists, and psychologists. Identifying the peculiarities of psychological self-regulation in the gender aspect and finding ways to improve it is a problem that requires further scientific research.

Characteristics of Self-Regulation in Pretend Play: A Preliminary Comparison of Different Types of Play

Characteristics of Self-Regulation in Pretend Play: A Preliminary Comparison of Different Types of Play

Субъективное качество времени как объект психологической диагностики

The paper is focused at the development and validation of a psychometric scale of the subjective quality of time. The subjective quality of time is the measure of fullness with which one can experience a certain period of time, or the time associated with certain activity. Based on this, we aimed to develop a scale for measuring the subjective quality of time. The original version of the scale included 15 bipolar rating scales. In the process of testing and improving the psychometric characteristics of the inventory, the number of scales was reduced to 5. The one-factor model for 5 statements showed an acceptable fit to the data (multigroup model in Mplus 8.4, MLR statistic: X2(20) = 36.10, p = 0.015, CFI = 0.963, RMSEA = 0.089, 90% CI [0.039; 0.134], SRMR = 0.036). The reliability of the scale (Cronbach's alpha) ranged from 0.79 to 0.87 in different samples. Several studies have focused on the construct validity of the new measure. In the study about the characteristics of self-regulation of hatha yoga practitioners, the assessment of the quality of time of yoga practice was significantly higher than the assessment of the quality of time for filling out questionnaires (Student's t-test: p<0.001; d = 1.22). In another study of psychological and behavioral responses to the Covid-19 pandemic, the scale of the subjective quality of time was offered to a sample of students as part of a set of measures. As we expected, against the background of the unfolding pandemic, assessment of the quality of time for the last month was significantly lower than for the previous year. It also significantly correlated with other indicators of subjective well-being. There were no significant links between the assessment of the quality of time over the past month and over the past year with emotions and fears caused by the coronavirus pandemic. Thus, the developed time quality scale has good psychometric characteristics and is suitable, among other things, for mass monitoring surveys

SALES APPROACH WITH NEUROLINGUISTIC PROGRAMMING (NLP) IN A PHARMACEUTICAL DISTRIBUTOR OF PIRACICABA-SP

This study investigates the theme of Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP) as a guideline for training salespeople regarding the sales approach in B2B (Business to Business). Methodologically, Exploratory Study sought theoretical support in Neuroliguistic Programming (NLP) as well as in marketing and sales. In a second stage, a Descriptive Statistical Study was carried out in the form of a survey with the salespeople of a Pharmaceutical Distributor with a main focus on phyto-drugs, with a target audience of manipulation pharmacies in the city of Piracicaba, with the participation of 21 of them, male and female. , aged 20 to 50 years. Following the guidance of the theory about NLP, three questionnaires were used for data collection: the first, by Goleman (1995), which aimed to identify which salespeople would have characteristics of self-awareness, self-regulation, self-motivation, empathy and social skills. The second questionnaire, by Dalbosco and Trevisol (2019), was used to identify which percentage of salespeople had behavior in the visual, auditory and kinesthetic category.

Features of Willed Self-Regulation of Students In the Conditions of Distance Learning

Problem and purpose. The article actualizes the problem of the features of volitional self-regulation of girls studying in the specialties of secondary professional education in the context of distance learning. The purpose of the article is to study the psychological characteristics of volitional self-regulation in students in conditions of distance learning using information technologies. Methodology. Methods of empirical research of psychological characteristics of volitional self-regulation of personality, statistical and comparative methods of analysis were used in the work. The study of the problem of volitional self-regulation of the personality allows to solve the problems of correcting the psycho-functional structure of the personality on the basis of which students build an algorithm for the upcoming information, technical and educational activities. In the context of distance learning, volitional self-regulation becomes a decisive condition for the successful mastering of knowledge in solving educational problems and improving professional skills. The results of the study show that most of the students in the specialties of secondary professional education consciously relate to the distance learning mode, show persistence, active independent initiative in mastering the educational material. A low level of volitional self-regulation, self-control, psychological activity and reflection of students causes a decrease in working capacity, does not ensure the sustainability of interest in educational activities, interferes with the implementation of educational tasks, makes it difficult to independently control personal motives for learning, coordinate their actions in accordance with changing conditions. Conclusion. It was revealed that students in the process of adaptation to the conditions of distance learning, depending on the individual, psychophysiological characteristics of the body, use the possibilities of changing the level of volitional self-regulation and psychological activity, which allows them, first of all, to maintain the mental state of emotional comfort, reduce the level of psycho-emotional stress and respond adequately to new learning conditions.

YOUNG PEOPLE’ PSYCHOLOGICAL READINESS FOR MASTERING THE SKILLS OF EMOTIONAL SELF-REGULATION

At the present stage of Ukrainian society, requirements to an individual’s social and professional aspects grow significantly: the present demands activity, purposefulness, mobility, flexibility, and self-confidence from young people. These qualities cannot be manifested without formed skills of emotional self-regulation. The article analyzes the study on young people’s readiness for mastering the emotional self-regulation skills. Four levels of readiness for mastering the emotional self-regulation skills were identified and described. All of them were determined by the following components: motivation for emotional self-regulation, emotional consciousness, emotional competence, effectiveness of emotional self-regulation skills. The correlations were determined between young people’s readiness for mastering the skills of emotional self-regulation and such personal characteristics as: reflexivity, emotional competence and emotional self-awareness. The young people’s awareness of the need for emotional self-regulation and knowledge about them, their emotional sphere and formed reflexivity are essential prerequisites to form such personal characteristics as emotional consciousness, emotional competence, emotional stability and emotional maturity. The article determines that personal motivation for self-development and emotional-volitional control influence positively on the emotional self-regulation skills. Young people who are able to monitor their emotional states and their causal relationships with other internal processes and with effectiveness of their activities have higher motivation for emotional self-regulation and a wider range of emotional self-regulative methods that help them to achieve adequate socialization and productivity. Many young people are agreed that the need to master the skills of emotional self-regulation and recognize the negative impact of uncontrolled emotions on their own lives, but do not apply this need in real life situations.

Dynamical properties of feedback signalling in B lymphopoiesis: A mathematical modelling approach

Haematopoiesis is the process of generation of blood cells. Lymphopoiesis generates lymphocytes, the cells in charge of the adaptive immune response. Disruptions of this process are associated with diseases like leukaemia, which is especially incident in children. The characteristics of self-regulation of this process make them suitable for a mathematical study.In this paper we develop mathematical models of lymphopoiesis using currently available data. We do this by drawing inspiration from existing structured models of cell lineage development and integrating them with paediatric bone marrow data, with special focus on regulatory mechanisms. A formal analysis of the models is carried out, giving steady states and their stability conditions. We use this analysis to obtain biologically relevant regions of the parameter space and to understand the dynamical behaviour of B-cell renovation. Finally, we use numerical simulations to obtain further insight into the influence of proliferation and maturation rates on the reconstitution of the cells in the B line. We conclude that a model including feedback regulation of cell proliferation represents a biologically plausible depiction for B-cell reconstitution in bone marrow. Research into haematological disorders could benefit from a precise dynamical description of B lymphopoiesis.

A Co-ordinated Control Methodology for Rapid Load-Following Operation of a Pressurized Water Reactor Based Small Modular Reactor

The Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR) based Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) are best suited to perform load-following operation because of their inherent self-stabilizing and self-regulating characteristics. Therefore, these PWR based SMRs can not only acts as standalone electricity generating units but also work alongside intermittent renewable energy sources in Hybrid Energy Systems (HES) configuration. In both the cases, the PWR based SMRs are expected to perform rapid load-following operation along with satisfaction of constraints imposed by overall power coefficients of reactivity. The conventional mode of PWR operation-namely, the Normal Mode and Alternate Mode could not guarantee very rapid power maneuvering alongside satisfaction of the reactivity constraints. This paper puts forward a novel control methodology, which combines the advantages of both the Normal Mode and Alternate Mode, to accomplish very rapid power maneuver without defying the reactivity constraints. The load-following controllers were designed using Incremental Nonlinear Dynamic Inversion (INDI) which guarantees efficient tracking and does not require additional state observer and knowledge of inherent system nonlinearities. However, the nonlinear tracking controllers whose reference signal changes very rapidly are victims of unwanted glitches/spikes in control output which may ultimately lead to actuator wear-out. This problem has been handled by the use of a Reference Shaper whose detailed design methodology has also been presented. The performance of the control methodology and the controllers are verified in real-time using real-time Hardware-in-Loop (HiL) simulations.

The impact of psychological separation from parents upon goal-setting of students from single-parent families

Psychological separation is viewed as a determinant of the development of goal-setting at student age. The subject of this research is the correlation between the characteristics of psychological separation (emotional, functional, attitude, conflict) and goal-setting (value semantic – values-goals, values-means, life-meaning orientations) and operational (system of self-regulation of voluntary activity) levels of young people from single-parent families. Sampling involved 49 students (18 males and 31 females). The following questionnaire-based surveys were used in the course of this research: “Psychological Separation Inventory (PSI)” by J. Hoffman, “Adaptation” by V. P. Dzukaeva and T. Y. Sadovnikova, “Value Orientations” method by M. Rokeach, “Life-Meaning Orientations” test by D. A. Leontyev, “Style of Self-Regulation of Behavior” by V. I. Mirosanova. The author determined valid differences between psychological separation from parents, value-semantic and operational characteristics of goal-setting among young people from single-parent families. The statistically significant correlations of the indicated characteristics are highlighted. The impact of psychological separation from parents upon values-goals and values-means, life strategies and individual characteristics of self-regulation of the activity of young people from single-parent families in the process of setting and achieving the goals, are analyzed in the context of logic of the functional approach of V .K. Shabelnikov. The novelty of this research consists in clarification of the role of psychological separation from parents in development of value-semantic and operational characteristics of goal-setting at student age.

STYLE CHARACTERISTICS OF BEHAVIOR SELF-REGULATION IN STUDENTS WITH VARIOUS VICTIMITY

Aim. In the present work, victimity is considered as a psychological deviation manifestingin specific behavioral responses that characterize the type of potential victim. The emphasis ismade on the necessity of taking into account a realized victimity of a person, the formation of itsadequate forms and its correction at the stage of professional training. The article is aimed at establishingthe style characteristics of behavior self-regulation in students with various victimity.Materials and methods. Based on the analysis of the results obtained according to the “Realizedvictimity” scale (the “Tendency to victim behavior” questionnaire) all subjects were divided intotwo groups: an average (n = 36) and below-average (n = 53) victimity. The data on victimity, behaviorself-regulation and emotional intelligence in students of the pedagogical university wereobtained using the corresponding questionnaires: “Tendency to victim behavior”, “Style of behaviorself-regulation”, “Emotional intelligence”. Results. In the structure of students’ victimity,high values are observed on scales that assess the tendency to addictive and helpless behavior, toaggressive victim behavior, to self-damaging and self-destructive behavior, and to non-criticalbehavior. When comparing groups of students with various victimity, the following features wereregistered expressed in the differences in the style characteristics of behavior self-regulation (inthe implementation of modeling, assessment and flexible interaction); in the absence of differencesin the parameters of emotional intelligence. Conclusion. Features of behavior selfregulationin students are determined by their victimity. Subjects with low victimity are twice aslikely to show high behavior self-regulation compared to respondents with average victimity. Theidentified risk group of students who are prone to addictive and helpless behavior requires specialmeasures to accompany their social adaptation at the university. When it comes to the formationof professional competencies of the future teacher, it is advisable to include in the program ofelective courses the analysis of the results of studies of victimity in students, pedagogical workers,as well as ways to correct victim identity deformation.

Adaptive drive and adaptive mechanisms of technological machines

Examples of the development and application of mechanisms and machines endowed with the properties of self-adjustment (adaptation) to changing operating conditions, in particular machines for mining operations, are presented. It is shown that adaptive mechanisms and machines have a number of advantages in variable operating conditions. At the same time, the area of knowledge on the creation and use of adaptive machines and mechanisms to date, remains poorly understood. The purpose of the work is to present the concept of adaptation of mechanisms and machines to operating conditions, the Executive bodies of which work with variable loads. The results of the paper can be useful for machines and mechanisms design with self-adjusting and self-regulating characteristics. Adaptive mining tunneling, drilling machines and adaptive cutting tools reveal the concept of adaptive machines and mechanisms characteristics to changing operating conditions. The principle of operation of an adaptive drilling machine designed for drilling operations is described. It is shown that the feedback between the torque of the resistance to rotation on the drill rod and the force of the rod feeding on the face is carried out through the force-torque connections with the optional use of electronic automation tools.

Особенности саморегуляции работников различных групп профессий вахтового труда на Крайнем Севере

Introduction. The present investigation undertakes to identify characteristics of self-regulation in shift workers from various occupational groups working during the shift period in conditions of the Far North. It draws our attention to the importance of studying a professional’s self-regulation in extreme working conditions. The study describes for the first time the parameters of conscious self-regulation in occupational groups of shift work in the Far North and examines the interrelationships between self-regulation parameters and functional states in shift workers.
 Methods. A field study was carried out during the winter expedition to an oil company at Varandey Island (latitude 68°49'28" N). To identify the parameters of conscious self-regulation, the employees were asked to respond to the Behavior Self-Regulation Style questionnaire by V. I. Morosanova. Respondents’ functional states were measured using the Luscher Color Test, activation metrics, and the tremometric method throughout the entire 30-day shift.
 Results. The findings suggest that there are interrelationships between shift-work seniority and the following self-regulation parameters: ‘flexibility’, ‘programming’, and ‘assessing the results’. Optimal working capacity is more typical for the employees with average levels of ‘modeling’ and ‘planning’ parameters and low levels of ‘programming’. The employees from the ‘management activities’ group have higher levels of ‘independence’. The employees from the ‘operator labor’ and ‘management activities’ groups have high levels of ‘flexibility’.
 Discussion. Shift workers from various occupational groups working in the Far North differ in interrelationships between the levels of regulatory processes and personality traits. The majority of the employees from all the groups are characterized by high scores on measures of the ‘modeling’ regulatory process, which is important for maintaining an optimal functional state during the shift. A nonlinear relationship was found between self-regulation parameters and shift-work seniority in the Far North.
 Highlights
 
 Shift workers from various occupational groups working in the Far North differ in interrelationships between the levels of regulatory processes and regulatory personality traits.
 The employees from the ‘management activities’ group have higher levels of ‘independence’. The employees from the ‘operator labor’ and ‘management activities’ groups have high levels of ‘flexibility’. The employees from all the groups are characterized by high scores on measures of the ‘modeling’ regulatory process.
 A nonlinear relationship was found between self-regulation parameters (‘flexibility’, ‘programming’, and ‘assessing the results’) and shift-work seniority in the Far North. Greater seniority of shift work in the Far North is associated with average levels of these parameters.
 The findings suggest that there is a significant relationship between the employees’ functional states and the levels of development of their regulatory processes during the shift period in the Far North.
 The employees with average levels of ‘modeling’ and ‘planning’ and low levels of ‘programming’ typically demonstrate optimal working capacity, activity and balance during the shift period.

Взаимосвязь агрессивности и саморегуляции у осуждённых

The article presents the results of a study of the relationship between aggressiveness and self-regulation of convicts. The main objective of the study is to determine the characteristics of aggression and self-regulation of convicts serving sentences in places of deprivation of liberty. The subject of the study are the psychological characteristics of the convicts. The hypothesis of the study was that there is a connection between aggressive behavior and conflict and low level of volitional self-regulation. 422 respondents took part in the study. According to the results of the study, significant differences in the level and form of aggressiveness between groups with high and low aggressiveness are described, in addition, a correlation analysis was performed to identify the relationship between the level of aggression and personal characteristics, and also the types of personality of convicts based on factor analysis.
