GENRE AND STYLE SPECIFICITY OF UKRAINIAN BOOKTRAILERS ABOUT THE WAR

The article examines a new genre of advertising media products – the booktrailer, and offers a refined definition of it: booktrailer is a genre of advertising media products that synthesizes verbal, visual, and audio elements to promote books through information technology. The genre and style specifics of contemporary Ukrainian booktrailers about the war are determined. The conditional chronological division of the studied booktrailerized texts about the war has been applied into those written before the full-scale invasion (S. Zhadan “Boarding School” (2017), T. Horikha Zernia “Dotsia” (2019)), and those created after it (N. Sukhorukova “Mariupol. Hope”, P. Vyshebaba “Just Don’t Write to Me About the War”, V. Stancyshyn “Emotional Swings of War”, O. Mykhed “Cat, Rooster, Locker”). Each booktrailer contains narrative elements. Their use depends on the content of the video and varies in length and nature of the narrative. The use of visual elements, such as color palette, graphics, photos, animation, or video, can help convey the style or mood of a book. Audio accompaniment – voiceover, audio recordings of interviews with writers, voiced fragments of the book’s text, music – carries both a semantic and emotional load. The popularity of booktrailers is driven by the surge in social media activity, as well as the sale of books in electronic format, which maximizes the logistics of the book to the reader: viewed the booktrailer → ordered the book → received it on an electronic medium. The linguistic specificity of booktrailers varies depending on the target audience and the genre of the book. The language used in book trailers for books about war is intended to convey the tension, emotionality, and tragic (or life-affirming) nature of events related to military conflict. The target audience of Ukrainian booktrailers for books about the war covers different categories of readers of different ages, interests, and social status, as the war is now affecting the entire population of Ukraine to some extent.

Psychosomatic and behavioral reactions at competitions in female gymnasts 4–10 years old raised in families with different upbringing styles

Rhythmic gymnastics is a complex coordination sport with early professionalization. The specifics of sports training and competitive situations from a young age are accompanied by highintensity physical and emotional loads, which are stressogenic factors. Frequently repeated situations of neuropsychological stress can lead to emotional stress, which increases the risk of psychosomatic reactions. Some features of family upbringing observed in the families of athletes can increase the risk of psychosomatic reactions. The article is devoted to the study of the relationship between psychosomatic reactions in a competitive situation in young gymnasts 4–10 years old with the features of family upbringing style, the identification of predictors of psychosomatic reactions in a competitive situation. The sample of the study consisted of 44 families with female gymnasts 4–10 years old. The study was conducted with the use of methods by E.G.Eidemiller ASV, E. S. Schäfer PARI, R.K.Bell, author’s questionnaires “Parent/Trainer’s perceptions of the child’s experience of the competition situation”. Mathematical processing of the data included descriptive statistics, Correlation, Single Factor Variance, Factor and Regression analyses. Psychosomatic and behavioral responses to competition were found to differ among gymnasts raised in families with different family upbringing characteristics. It was found that irritability of the parent, irascibility, avoidance of contact, the desire to accelerate the child’s development, superauthority of the parent and some other features of family upbringing style are associated with increased neuropsychological excitement, the emergence of emotional stress. Family parenting style features such as hyperprotection and emotional distance with the child are prevalent in families of gymnasts 4–10 years old. The irascibility, severity, lack of parental acceptance and desire to change their child increase the nervous and mental agitation of young gymnasts in competitive situations. In competitive situations in female gymnasts 4–10 years old, overauthority of the parent, excessive severity, avoidance of contact and projection of undesirable qualities onto the child are predictors of gastrointestinal disturbances.

REPRODUCTION OF STYLISTIC DEVICES IN DELIA OWENS’ NOVEL “WHERE THE CRAWDADS SING” IN THE UKRAINIAN TRANSLATION

The article examines the peculiarities of the use of stylistic devices in the novel “Where the Crawdads Sing” by the American writer Delia Owens and their reproduction in the Ukrainian translation. Stylistic means are an integral part of fiction and they possess metaphoric meaning, emotional features that help convey the author’s idea. The functioning and emotional aspect of metaphor and simile in the novel were clarified. It was also found that the peculiarity of the novel is the presence of a natural element in the stylistic devices. The multifaceted description of the environment, desolate marshlands with their animals and plants helps the author reproduce the atmosphere in which the main character lived and the readers immerses the reader in her natural world. It was determined that such methods as calque (loan translation), adding, omitting, replacing an image, replacing one construction with another, reducing an idiomatic comparison to its meaning, preserving the same construction with further explanation of similar features were used to translate metaphors and similes. The highest percentage of using the calque method indicates that the images of the original novel are completely understandable for the readers of the translated work and any changes are not necessary. The authors analysed the situations in which minor changes or addition of information were needed for a better understanding of metaphors and simile and situations in which these stylistic devices were omitted due to the impossibility of selecting a suitable equivalent. The authors came to the conclusion that a number of methods of reproducing one or another stylistic device were used in the translation of the novel, with the help of which the translator managed to preserve the emotional load of the metaphor and simile, the natural element of these devices and convey the author’s intention in order to enable the readers of the translated work to get the same impressions as the readers of the original work.

Предменструальный синдром как проявление десинхроноза в студенческой среде

Objective. To study the prevalence and severity of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) in female students from Khabarovsk higher education institutions and to evaluate the efficacy of using hormonal contraceptives to increase the psychological adaptation among students. Patients and methods. A voluntary online random survey including 565 female students from Khabarovsk higher education institutions was conducted between October and December 2021. The diagnosis was verified by using diary entries about the nature of existing complaints during 2–3 menstrual cycles with assessing the severity of symptoms on a three-point scale. Results. The results showed that the severity of PMS symptoms was distributed as follows: mild degree – 70.81%, moderate degree – 23.08%, severe degree – 6.11 ± 1.14%. The evaluation of the results of using drospirenone-containing contraceptive for 6 months demonstrated a statistically significant reduction in the frequency of PMS symptoms (p < 0.001). Conclusion. PMS in female students from higher education institutions remains an important problem which has a negative impact both on general health and on the process of social adaptation in studies (54.98%) and behavior in the surrounding society (61.31%). The use of drospirenone-containing contraceptive for 6 months significantly reduced the emotional load by improving sleep, reducing irritability, aggressiveness, etc. (р < 0,001). Key words: premenstrual syndrome, students, drospirenone-containing oral contraceptive

Роль медико-біологічних дисциплін у підготовці майбутніх спеціальних педагогів у закладі вищої освіти

The article substantiates the role of medical and biological disciplines in the preparation of future special educators to work with children with special educational needs in general and special education institutions and inclusive resource centers. During the study of medical and biological disciplines (an anatomy, a physiology and human pathology, the basis of genetics, a neuropathology, a psychopathology, the clinic of intellectual disorders), the future specialist receives not only the sum of professional and pedagogical knowledge, but also has the opportunity to master key competencies, without which the professional activity of a special teacher is simply impossible. First of all, these competencies should be aimed at forming the ability of future specialists for empathy and social reflection. It is noted that medical and biological knowledge and skills, in addition to the formation of professional competence in working with persons with SEN, will allow to master the basics of self-regulation in order to maintain self-control in situations with high emotional load and optimal exit from stressful situations, that is, will contribute to their own health care. The author notes that the knowledge of anatomical, physiological and mental characteristics of children with SEN enables students in the future in their professional activities to possess the following skills: to determine diagnostic and prognostic indicators of psychophysical development in the case of normotypical development and pathology; to evaluate and distinguish individual and personal characteristics of childrenʼs behavior; to identify and clarify the individual intellectual characteristics of children in order to determine an individual educational trajectory; to determine the corrective and developmental technologies for working with children with special needs; to organize their professional activities taking into account modern methods of diagnosis, correction and rehabilitation of children with SEN; to ensure the quality of their education using modern educational technologies.

Репрезентация специальной военной операции в печатных СМИ в контексте консолидации российского общества

Introduction. Obtaining up-to-date sociological information about the specifics of the representation of the special military operation currently being carried out by the Russian Federation in the print media is actualized by the tasks of integration and consolidation of Russian society in a hybrid reality. Considering the media as the most important institution for the formation of public opinion, the authors rely on the theory of information society and communicative action, consider the informational and communicative sphere as determining in the construction of trends in the social and political process. Methods. The empirical study was conducted by the method of quantitative and qualitative content analysis and critical discourse analysis in the period from 08/21/2022 to 10/21/2022. The general totality is 484 articles, the sample is 105 articles. Results and its discussion. Based on the quantitative and qualitative analysis of publications, the authors identified 4 thematic clusters and their content characteristics: military reports (26%), events around the special military operation (SMO) (30%), partial mobilization (28%) and peaceful life under the SMO (16%). Using the method of critical discourse analysis, the dominant discourses replicated in the media (wars, victories, everyday life and normalization of the military situation, heroization of the SMO, sacrifice, struggle, unity), as well as the main strategies for the representation of the SMO were identified, the emotional load for each cluster was revealed. It is shown that the emotional tone of publications worsened before the announcement of partial mobilization in connection with the Ukrainian counteroffensive, became positively neutral after the announcement of partial mobilization and was further characterized by instability. On the basis of the discursive strategies identified, it is concluded that the dominant image of SMO as a just and liberating action, based on an appeal to the experience of the Great Patriotic War, determines the direction of integration of Russian society and its consolidation with the authorities. Possible risks of consolidation based on the restriction of the space of free discussion may be associated with a decrease in the level of trust in the authorities and an increase in the conflict of society in the future.

Emocjonalne przymiotniki w języku polskim i rosyjskim. Paralele i kontrasty

A new type of dictionary – a psychological linguistic dictionary was compiled as a result of analyzing 15918 Russian adjectives from the perspective of their relationship with emotions originating in reference to various senses. The dictionary contains information on “the emotional load” of these adjectives, that is how pleasant or how unpleasant emotions a given adjective evokes. The analyzed lexemes were assessed by respondents on the scale of emotions: slightly (un)pleasant – moderately (un)pleasant – very (un)pleasant, which was marked with an appropriate number of pluses or minuses. Although it is believed that representatives of different cultures experience universal emotions, their quality and intensity hidden behind particular linguistic units can diverge for different cultural linguistic communities. Emotions are conditioned socially, culturally and historically; they play an important role in international communication. Thus, when they are incompetently and mistakenly interpreted, this can disturb dialogue between various cultures and even lead to conflicts. In the article, considering equivalents mięsny/мясной and other counterparts, it can be said that not all the examples have a parallel emotional value. Despite the genealogical relationship between the languages and cultures in question, emotive contrasts are not rare. This leads to considering a significant issue of emotive adequacy of dictionary equivalents, which has to be addressed by translators and language teachers.

Differences Between Grammatical and Lexical Processing in the Late Learned Language

The process of language learning has long attracted scholarly interest. Foreign language teaching has extensively focused on teaching methods and learner profiles. Also, there has been growing interest in psychological and neurological bases of this process. Differences regarding the processing of different language components was a key early focus of research. Later, the focus shifted to the emotional load of the different languages spoken by bilinguals/multilinguals languages. It has been shown that a late-learned language differs from the native language in its progress and ultimate level. A notable difference can be seen between grammatical and lexical processing. Considering psycholinguistic parameters, this paper aims to reveal how late learners deal with grammatical and lexical processing in their second / late-learned language.

РОЛЬ ЭМОЦИОНАЛЬНЫХ ТРИГГЕРОВ В ЭКРАННОЙ КУЛЬТУРЕ

The relevance of the research is connected with the need to explain the mechanisms and strategies of the screen's influence on modern man. The problem of emotional perception of screen culture by a person through the prism of "emotional triggers" is considered, some of their types are analyzed and examples of embedding in screen culture are given. A certain vision of the role of emotional triggers is also formulated and the prospects for further development of screen culture in which they will play a key role are described. Emotional triggers contribute to maintaining the process of endless consumption of mass culture products. The maintenance of this process occurs due to the formation of a sense of emotional closeness and deep, in the opinion of the viewer, emotional contact with the products and phenomena of modern mass culture. Triggers become a form of representation of reality in the consciousness of the subject, creating instead of real reality a new form of its representation filled with visualized images and phantoms, which brings a certain emotional load into the viewer's consciousness. In this sense, screen culture can be considered as a global tool that exerts an artificial influence on both the individual viewer and the public consciousness as a whole. Emotional triggers, influencing the thoughts and behavior of the viewer, form secondary ways of describing the world for him, set the coordinates of orientation in the world of screen culture, simulating the immediacy of personal experiences and feelings, creating the illusion of belonging, integrity to a certain informational whole, thus building their own identity. The role, or rather the power of the impact of emotional triggers in modern screen culture is due to the fact that they are always visualized, and emotions most vividly affect it through visual images.

Застосування тест-тренажерів для контролю психофізіологічного стану юних спортсменів

The purpose of the study was to find out the effectiveness of using computer tests simulators, in particular the "MY_TIMER" program, to assess the functional state of students before and after training and to choose the optimal load in the training process. Materials and methods. The methods which were used in the study were theoretical analysis and generalization of scientific theoretical literature, computer test simulators, the "MY_TIMER" program, which was designed to assess a person's condition based on the analysis of his/her subjective perception of different periods of time. Standard test procedure: 1) Install time interval of 10 seconds on the scale. 2) Instructions to the subject: "After the start of the stopwatch, press the left mouse button 12 times every 10 seconds". 3) The subject, looking at the stopwatch, fixes 12 times by pressing buttons for a time interval of 10 seconds (we get objective indicators). 4) Then close the eyes and perform the same task without visual control (we get subjective indicators). 5) Comparison of results shows a subjective shift of subjective assessment of a time interval of 10 seconds. 14 participators of the experiment are 12-14-year-old students of Slavutych secondary school, who regularly attend swimming training in the pool. Statistical processing of data was carried out using Microsoft Excel. Results and discussion. Analysis of the obtained results before objective and subjective training of perception of different periods of time showed an increased level of mental activity, that is, the state of excitement of young athletes, their optimal readiness for surgery activity. After the training, there are only qualitatively unreliable changes in the results of schoolchildren. Negative average result (subjective shift of subjective assessment) is an indicator that it will be possible to increase the load of swimmers on the next training. Out of 14 subjects, only one had a positive subjective test result (just over one second). Increasing the subjective assessment of the interval time longer than 3 seconds is usually accompanied by a decrease in the level of mental activity due to fatigue, decreased concentration of attention, drowsiness – that is, it characterizes a state of apathy, emotional "burnout". Therefore, for this student, physical and emotional load was quite significant. In other students, in whom psychophysiological indicators were determined, unspent resources after training were remained. Conclusion. Use of computer test simulators, in particular the program "MY_TIMER" is relevant and promising, it gives an opportunity to determine readiness of schoolchildren to perform physical exercise and psychophysiological control states of young athletes after training. The obtained negative average result (subjective shift of subjective assessment) after training by young swimmers is an indicator for increasing the physical load in the next training session. Computer test simulators with other programs for determination psychophysiological indicators must be used for correcting construction training and determining the individual workload for every athlete

Stochastic Model of Emotional Stress Development in the Educational Process

The aim of the study is the development of mathematical models that describe the reaction of the individual to the occurrence of stresses of various nature, including those that appear during the implementation of the educational process. The complexity of developing such a model is confirmed by the lack of theoretical results to substantiate the classic experiments of Holmes and Rae on the effect of stress on personality. In this regard, the task is to develop such a mathematical model that would allow not only to give a theoretical explanation of the experimental results used in the Holmes and Rae stress calculator, but also to become a tool for studying the effect of stress on a person in other conditions, including in the process of educational activities of both the teacher and the learner.The research method consists in a mathematical description of the process of occurrence of stresses that develop over time, and it is believed that stresses occur at random times and are characterized by relative stress values indicated in the classical table of Holmes and Rae. The need to involve these results is that they allow us to confirm the correspondence of the developed theoretical mathematical models to already known practical results. The following main assumptions are accepted in the paper. It is believed that a person is exposed to stresses that can occur at random localized points in time and are interpreted as a sequence of points on the time axis, the number and location of which is random. The response of a person to a particular stress is described by a decreasing exponential function of three arguments – current time, random time of stress occurrence, and stress magnitude. The reaction of the individual to a sequence of stresses is the sum of the responses of the person to individual stresses, i.e. it is assumed that the personality exhibits the properties of linearity. In the process of developing a mathematical model, the distribution of the number of random stresses is substantiated according to the Poisson law, which is used to describe the occurrence of random events with a distinct discreteness. The paper introduces one of the key indexes - the coefficient of emotional load, equal to the ratio of the mathematical expectation of everyday stressful background and the mathematical expectation of the sum of this background and additional stress. The response of a person to a particular stress is described by an exponential response function widely used in natural science applications. The total relative value of processed, experienced, random relative values of stress, as well as their non-random mathematical expectations, is introduced into consideration.The new results of the study are: – development of a stochastic mathematical model for the development of stresses over time, depending on the parameters included in the model. It is shown that the behavior of a person’s reaction to stress, predicted by a mathematical model, corresponds to the previously mentioned experimental results. – a study of the behavior in time of a person’s reaction to stress for a situation that was not previously considered and in which the person is affected by a single stress of great intensity, as well as regular emotional imposition.In conclusion, it is noted that the developed model not only makes it possible to theoretically explain the experimental data, but also significantly expand the scope of the studied effect of stress on personality. Thus, it turned out to be possible to predict the impact of a single impact, as well as to indicate a way to account for periodic intentional exposure (emotional suppression). In addition, the results can be used in the study of emotional stresses in the educational process in order to predict and consider them in practical activities.

Socio-psychological factors affecting professional burnout among social workers (based on the experiences of students and professionals)

The aim of the article is to establish the level of professional burnout and assess it in the context of social-professional characteristics of social workers in Russia. The quantitative characteristics of the studied problem are examined using the survey method in the form of formalized questionnaires and testing. The authors proceed from the notion that the profession of a social worker, which presupposes direct contact with people in difficult life situations, is clearly one of the jobs that are the most conducive to the development of professional burnout syndrome and is viewed by society as such. Low pay grade combined with severe emotional load serve as factors contributing to the professional disorganization of a worker. It is found that in the specific conditions of Russia, the general characteristics of social workers assume not only a desire to continue professional activity within the chosen specialty but also a relatively low percentage of people, in whom a high degree of professional burnout can be found.

The Influence of Sleep Talking on Nocturnal Sleep and Sleep-Dependent Cognitive Processes.

Sleep talking (ST) is characterized by the production of unaware verbal vocal activations (VBs) during sleep. ST seems potentially linked to linguistic and memory consolidation processes. However, sleep and dream characteristics and the relationship between verbal vocalizations (VBs) and cognitive functions are still unknown. Our study aimed to investigate qualitative sleep and dream features in sleep talkers (STs) compared to healthy subjects (CNTs) through retrospective and longitudinal measures and explore the relationship between ST and memory consolidation. We recruited N = 29 STs and N = 30 CNTs (age range of 18-35). Participants recorded their dreams and filled out sleep logs for seven consecutive days. Vocal activations of STs were audio-recorded. On the eighth day, we administered a word-pair task. We showed that STs had significantly worse self-reported sleep quality. VBs were positively correlated with sleep fragmentation and negatively associated with the oneiric emotional load. No difference between groups was found in the memory consolidation rate. Although ST is a benign phenomenon, we revealed that ST is associated with more sleep alterations and lower emotional intensity of dreams. In this vein, we support that ST depends on sleep fragmentation and could represent a potential window into sleep-dependent cognitive processes.

Evaluation of incidence of organized team members under environmental and hygienic load and unfavorable labor

Bioclimatic comfort, anthropogenic load, conditions and nature of the labor process, lifestyle are among the main factors of the environment and professional activities of people. Purpose - to assess the incidence of persons of an organized team in the ecological and hygienic conditions of the city of Krasnoyarsk. Object - prevalence, primary incidence for the period 2016-2021. The state of anthropogenic pollution of the city territory was judged according to official sources. Assessed the working conditions and the nature of the labor process. The chemical load defines Krasnoyarsk as one of the leaders in the total morbidity of the region and as a risk area in the region in terms of morbidity exceeding the average. Uncomfortable living environment is noted for 9-10 months. The work of the observation group according to the degree of harmfulness and danger - class 3.3. In the structure of work, 80% of the time is mental [intellectual loads (3.2), emotional loads (3.2), work schedule (3.2)], physical activities, periodic long business trips with high emotional and physical stress. In the lifestyle of eating disorders, drinking alcohol, smoking. The prevalence of diseases was 1.6 times higher than in the adult population of Krasnoyarsk and (or) the region: a significant excess of 1.35-4.8 times in 6 classes and lower values of 1.2 times in 2 classes of diseases. In the primary morbidity, the leading pathologies were respiratory, genitourinary, musculoskeletal, trauma and poisoning (including the consequences of external causes), hearing aid, the share of which in the structure reached 80.3%. With the exception of the pathology of the hearing aid, it reflected the incidence of the adult population of the Krasnoyarsk Territory, as well as the dynamics of long-term morbidity. The peculiarities of morbidity in a cohort of an organized team are determined by their initial state of health, conditions of professional activity and lifestyle. The need to assess the health risk of the influence of synergistic factors of habitability of the population is actualized, taking into account the characteristics of professional activity and lifestyle.

Synergistic Interaction between Job Stressors and Psychological Distress during the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Psychosocial job stressors increase the risk of mental health problems for the workers in health and social services (HSS). Although previous studies suggest that the accumulation of two or more stressors is detrimental to mental health, few studies have examined the synergistic interaction of accumulating job stressors. We examined survey responses from 9855 Finnish HSS workers in a cross-sectional study design from 2021. We conducted an interaction analysis of high job demands, low rewards and low workplace social capital on psychological distress, focusing on the relative excess risk due to interaction (RERI). Additionally, we analysed the interaction of job demands, low rewards and COVID-19 burden (extra workload and emotional load). Our analysis showed that the total RERI for the job stressors on psychological distress was considerable (6.27, 95% CI 3.14, 9.39). The total excess risk was caused by two-way interactions, especially between high demands and low rewards and by the three-way interaction of all stressors. The total RERI for job demands, low reward and COVID-19 burden (3.93, 95% CI 1.15, 6.72), however, was caused entirely by two-way interaction between high demands and low rewards. Mental health interventions tackling high demands, low rewards and low social capital are jointly needed.

Problems of hygienic regulation of working conditions in civil aviation and ways to solve them (literature review)

The analysis of the current and cancelled documents concerning the regulation of working conditions in civil aviation (CA) is carried out. There have been established significant factors of working environment and workload, their relationship with indicators of the health status of flight personnel, the development of fatigue and the risks of aviation accidents (AA) has been proved. The design of the study included a multifactorial analysis of the impact of working conditions on the functional state, occupational morbidity and accident rate of CA pilots with the establishment of a list of mandatory factors for rationing and control of the production environment and the labour process. The analysis of sanitary and hygienic characteristics of working conditions, health data was carried out based on the results of retrospective studies of the clinic of the Federal State Budgetary Scientific Institution “Izmerov Research Institute of Occupational Health”, publications indexed in the databases Scopus, Web of Science, RSCI and official statistical collections. Own experimental studies were conducted among one hundred twenty pilots of the case-control type, including the analysis of 10324 standard operating procedures for aircraft management, 59670 studies within the framework of psychophysiological testing, as well as the analysis of 83 AA. The necessity of adjusting the regulatory framework with the expansion of indicators for the normalization of working conditions in terms of the intensity of the labour process is proved. New criteria are proposed to be used for assessing information, intellectual, emotional loads, expanding the boundaries of sensory loads with the allocation of class 3.3 - according factors working load. Proposals have been developed to make additions to SP 2.5.3650-20 for flight crew members and air traffic controllers concerning requirements for all missed and obligatory factors of working conditions; a list of production factors obligatory for control during a special assessment of working conditions at the workplaces of aircraft crew members; new methodological documents relating to the assessment of indicators of the intensity of the labour process, the assessment of the personal risk of fatigue in pilots, conducting psychophysiological studies using a video oculograph, the procedure for conducting special assessment of working conditions, a general assessment of professional risks intended for the implementation of regulatory requirements.

Emotional distress and quality of life among adults with developmental coordination disorder during COVID-19.

Introduction:Individuals with developmental coordination disorder frequently report emotional and functional difficulties. A stressful era as COVID-19 pandemic may enhance emotional load. The present study aimed to (1) examine the emotional distress and quality of life among adults with developmental coordination disorder during COVID-19 as compared to typical controls, and (2) examine the relationships between these factors in adults with developmental coordination disorder.Method:Participants were 317 adults, aged 18–66, recruited during the first year of COVID-19: 227 were included in the developmental coordination disorder group, and 90 in the control group (normal motor performance) based on the Adult Developmental Co-ordination Disorders/Dyspraxia Checklist cutoff score. Participants completed a sociodemographic health status/daily life under COVID-19 questionnaire and self-reports about their emotional status (depression, anxiety, stress) and a quality of life.Results:The developmental coordination disorder group had significantly greater depression, anxiety, stress, and lower quality of life. Participants with developmental coordination disorder who were infected by COVID-19 or reported reduction of working hours due to COVID-19 had the lowest social and environmental quality of life. Depression significantly predicted reduced quality of life and mediated between developmental coordination disorder severity and quality of life.Conclusions:Prevention and intervention programs for adults with developmental coordination disorder should be elaborated, with reference to emotional load and to implications on daily life, especially in times of crisis, like COVID-19.

Self-presentation and emotional contagion on Facebook: new experimental measures of profiles' emotional coherence

Social Networks allow users to self-present by sharing personal content, and emotions expressed in a post affect the subsequent posts, eliciting a congruent emotion. The main goals of this research were to investigate the emotional coherence between wall posts and their comments on SNSs and to evaluate the association between the profiles' General Emotional Coherence and self-presentation styles from a sample of adolescent's Facebook profiles (n = 50; Mage = 16.95; 50% female). Two new experimental metrics were developed, describing the emotional load (positive and negative) of posts and comments, and the mood correspondence between them. The combination of these measures was used to define the profiles' "General Emotional Coherence". Results confirm how publishing an emotional post corresponds to receiving comments with a coherent mood. The more "emotionally coherent" profiles are characterized by a typical self-presentation style (more posts, more comments and likes).

Physiological reactions at encoding selectively predict recognition of emotional images

The study aimed to investigate the link between physiological responses at encoding and subsequent memory of emotional stimuli, differing in two dimensions: valence and arousal. The participants (all male) freely viewed emotional images, while their pupil size and heart rate were recorded. Then, they were presented with a recognition task. Both pupil constriction and heart rate deceleration evoked by an image onset at the encoding predicted its later correct recognition. However, these effects interacted with valence and arousal. Increased pupillary constriction predicted correct recognition particularly well for low-arousing and negatively valenced images. Deeper heart rate deceleration was related to higher rate of correct recognition mainly in the case of negative images. The results show also an interaction between valence and arousal in their effect on memory. Higher arousal was linked to better recognition, but only when images were of neutral or positive valence. In contrast, negative images were remembered accurately, regardless of the level of arousal. This pattern of results supports the primacy of negative information in early memory consolidation. Overall, we demonstrate that physiological reactions at encoding - which can be linked to the depth of stimulus processing during memory formation - predict recognition accuracy. The emotional load of stimuli further modulates the prediction strength.

Development of the language and linguocolor picture of the world in the adyghe linguoculture

In modern linguistics, topical issues of constructing a linguistic color picture and the functioning of color lexemes in the linguistic picture of the world and, in particular, artistic discourse, are being actively developed. Artistic discourse is understood as a communication system, which is a synthesis of specific linguistic forms, information about reality, reflected in a text that is distinguished by its pragmatic content. The pragmatic level of artistic discourse is represented by an individual set of characteristic linguistic means. The most specific linguistic means are coloronyms that represent evaluative and emotional personal meanings that have a certain influencing potential. Color painting in artistic discourse is the most important expressive means, carries a deeply ideological, artistic, and emotional load. Language units with color semantics or coloronyms contribute not only to the creation of visual images but also carry additional information of emotional and expressive properties. The object of the research is the linguistic units denoting color, functioning in the language, mythopoetics, paremias, and literature in the Adyghe language. The subject of the research is the peculiarities of the manifestation and functioning of color painting in the Adyghe language and Adyghe literature, as well as the identification of the specifics of the coloristic embodiment of images in the works of Adyghe authors. The material of the research is based on the linguistic representations of color designations that form the «black-white-red» triad.
