Регуляция нейрокогнитивных функций у подростков с печеночной энцефалопатией

<p><strong>The relevance</strong> of the study is due to the need to study the regulatory functions of adolescents with portal hypertension, which is accompanied by the development of a generalized intoxication effect on the nervous system affecting the cortical structures of the prefrontal parts of the brain. <strong>Objective: </strong>to study the specifics of prognostic regulation in adolescents with hepatic encephalopathy with portal hypertension. <strong>Materials and methods:</strong> the total sample size is 60 adolescents. The experimental group (EG) included adolescents in the number of 30 people (14 men; 16 women) with a diagnosis established by a gastroenterologist K76.6 "Portal hypertension" according to ICD-10. The control group (KG) included 30 respondents (14 men; 16 women) with a normative somatic status. The experimental and control groups were equalized by gender, age and social status. The empirical study included motivation, instruction, and psychological examination with the use of neurocognitive and test methods for assessing regulation: The Line Tracing Test, Digit-symbol Test, Number Connection Test A/B, methodology «Style of self–regulation of behavior - SSP-98» by V.I. Morosanova. <strong>Results.</strong> Low values of the general level of voluntary self-regulation of behavior of adolescents with hepatic encephalopathy are due to a decrease in the severity of regulatory processes of flexibility and independence. The results obtained allow us to conclude that the reduction of planning processes, flexibility and independence, providing a low overall level of arbitrary self-regulation, provide a significant decrease in neurocognitive indicators of prognostic regulation. <strong>Conclusions.</strong> The revealed qualitative and quantitative features of the regulatory sphere can be considered as one of the predictors in the genesis of hepatic encephalopathy, which make it possible to carry out prognostic diagnosis of the symptoms of the disease in adolescents at the earliest stages of its development, as well as to carry out differential diagnosis of the disease.</p>

The End of the Eclipse for Enlightened Reformation: The Classics and New Interpretations

Abstract The article revisits classic historiographical discussions about the concepts of Enlightened Despotism and Enlightened Absolutism with the aim of identifying the role played by the related notion of Enlightened Reformism. It draws inspiration from new theoretical and methodological perspectives that challenge the traditional view of Enlightenment as a phenomenon centered on a single diffusion center, as exemplified by Global History, which emphasizes the co-produced nature of the Eighteenth-century Enlightenment. A turning point is considered to be the investigations carried out by historians in the 1970s, such as Franco Venturi, who, by acknowledging a "reforming eighteenth century," expanded the scope of Enlightened Reformism, seen beyond the Enlightenment and Absolutism. Enlightened Reformism is a central theme in Ibero-American historiography, increasingly viewed as an organizing concept for governmental actions in the Atlantic empires between 1750 and 1830. With a broader scope of discussions, research addresses the relationship between Enlightened Reformism and topics such as the management of distant territories, slavery, agricultural development, mineral extraction, scientific voyages, and resistance. Studies also delve deeper into the critique of the vocabulary and theories that underpinned reformist discourses, some of which laid the foundations for the processes of independence in the American colonies in the early 19th century.

“You Said Independence?” The Case of Scotland's and Catalonia's Nationalisms: A Discussion of J. H. Elliott's Scots and Catalans: Union and Disunion

Abstract This review essay addresses one of the most complex contemporary political issues: secessionism. The review essay discusses J. H. Elliott's 2018 book, Scots and Catalans: Union and Disunion, to raise questions regarding the processes of independence in the European Union. Particularly, it focuses on the problematic conceptualization of the debates about Catalan independence in twenty-first-century Europe, explaining why concepts such as nation and nationalism should be rethought, which also implies the need to rethink the use of symbols such as national flags. It also insists that one cannot write on such an urgent political topic without addressing at length the role of culture in political thought and national sentiment. The author theorizes the role of the emotions in the creation of political subjectivities, concentrating especially on the central role that the web and the media are given in the fight for independence.

From disabled to differently abled: A psychofortological perspective on first-year students living with disability

ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to conduct an interpretative phenomenological analysis exploring the experiences of differently abled first-year students from a psychofortological perspective. Ryff’s psychological well-being model was used as a theoretical underpinning. Through the course of an academic year, three male participants completed semi-structured interviews and reflective writing exercises. Data were analysed using interpretative phenomenological analysis. A cross-case analysis yielded themes related to participants’ dynamic processes of finding purpose, direction and independence, as well as belonging, positive relations, self-acceptance and mastery. Collectively, the findings demonstrated how the participants moved from viewing themselves as disabled to differently abled, and that, despite numerous challenges, psychological well-being can be facilitated through the first-year higher education experience.

Between decoloniality and borders, positionalities and scales in urban space: geographical considerations from the murder of a homeless person in a brazilian city

The murder of a homeless person triggered this geographic consideration. What could be understood as a recurrent scene of urban violence in Brazil conveys a series of spatiotemporal meanings, practices, behaviors and gestures around socio-spatial relations. When thinking about Latin America it is known that, even with the processes of independence and the formal end of colonialism, coloniality and everything associated with it did not disappear. Urban space is a privileged site for thinking about power relations and a varied sort of devices that take shape in public, private and institutional spaces are reproduced in it. In this sense, issues of ethnicity, race, gender, sexuality, territorial origin, cultural background and immigration-related stigmas, need to be understood within a geopolitical, positional and relational framework in a non-hierarchical way, from local to global scale. Given the complexity that comprises the emergence of homeless people, this paper aims to understand their daily life confrontations and the risks of its exclusion or violent eradication. In doing this we ponder about the problem of the positionality of the roles of geographer, researcher, citizen and activist in the search for socio-spatial justice. Such questions are involved in a set of trajectories and positionalities, which appear in the form of annunciations, denunciations and tensions that we hope to present and discuss with the aim of offering alternatives for the geographic practice itself.

Los juegos de la política: Las independencias hispanoamericanas frente a la contrarrevolución

In Los juegos de la política, Marcela Ternavasio invites the reader to ponder what would have happened to the Spanish American processes of independence if the Portuguese and Spanish armies had formed an alliance to defeat them. While Luso-Spanish alliance never came to fruition, the question allows the author to dwell on “what happened in the context of what could have happened” (p. 13). Sitting at the intersection of Atlantic politics, war, and diplomacy, Los juegos de la política unearths the history of expectations, fears, and calculation that the move of the Portuguese royal family to Brazil, the restoration of Ferdinand VII to the Spanish throne, and Napoleon's defeat in France generated on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean.The book is divided in three parts, each addressing one specific conjuncture and the potential scenarios that this conjuncture enabled. In the first part, Ternavasio compares and contrasts the diplomatic correspondence of different agents of the Portuguese and Spanish crowns to exhume the myriad political calculations that surrounded the fate of the expedition led by General Pablo Morillo. The author shows how the final destination of the expedition (New Granada) emerged from a politization of European diplomacy in which the role of colonial agents in Montevideo, Rio de Janeiro, and Buenos Aires was central. The second part explores the diplomatic negotiations over a double marriage between the Braganzas and the Bourbons and the feverish political realignments and speculation that this possibility elicited. Certainly, dynastic marriages were an established part of European diplomacy, but Ternavasio's analysis reveals the significant role that princesses, Carlota Joaquina specifically, played in forging these alliances (p. 114). Moreover, Ternavasio highlights the role that the Portuguese invasion of the Banda Oriental (present-day Uruguay) played in the international diplomatic arena by influencing the fresh political realignments that the Congress of Vienna had made possible. Finally, the third part traces how the declaration of independence of the United Provinces of the Río de la Plata forced a resolution of the Luso-Spanish alliance. The intense negotiations over the type of government that the United Provinces would adopt—a republic or a monarchy—show the significant role that local powers played in the international diplomatic arena. In the end, the book dissects a political game that all players involved would end up losing. In the Banda Oriental, after building one of the most radical political alternatives of the era, the leader José Gervasio Artigas lost his political ascendance and went into exile. Moreover, in the United Provinces, the internal divisions among different regional leaders resulted in the implosion of the central government in 1820. The European powers did not fare well either. The Portuguese royal family had to leave Brazil after a liberal revolution took place in Portugal. Ferdinand VII of Spain faced the revolt of Rafael de Riego, which not only derailed a military expedition to the Río de la Plata but also reinstated a constitutional monarchy under the liberal principles of the Constitution of Cádiz.Ternavasio's methodological choices aid in the reconstruction of a highly convoluted political scenario. The author utilizes the present tense to stress the contingency of each conjuncture and to recover the level of fear, excitement, and scheming that those conjunctures generated among the European nations and the revolutionary elites in Spanish America. Likewise, the author utilizes the metaphor of politics as a game to highlight the capital importance that calculation had in the decisions that the actors made and the actions that they performed. Ternavasio successfully reveals the complicated and convoluted trajectory that absolutist and independence ideas had. In an ever-changing political and military scenario, political players constantly measured their ideological choices against hypothetical alliances that could ultimately secure political and military victory. Ultimately, Ternavasio's methodological choices reveal the profound impact that the Spanish American processes of independence had in international diplomacy. The Congress of Vienna had created a new balance of power within Europe that the revolutionary experiments in Spanish America questioned. As Ternavasio shows, the wars of independence in Spanish America forced the European powers to broaden the geographical scope of political negotiation outside Europe. In doing so, the wars played a significant role in the construction of a global and interdependent concert of nations.This book complements and expands the ideas explored in Ternavasio's previous book, centered on the figure of Carlota Joaquina. Written in agile prose, Los juegos de la política will make a fantastic addition to any graduate-level class on Latin American history. More importantly, it is a fantastic example of the potential benefits that a new diplomatic history of Latin America can offer, not just for Latin American history but for global history as well.

Revisiting Malaya: Uncovering Historical and Political Thoughts in Nusuntara ed. by Show Ying Xin and Ngoi Guat Peng (review)

Reviewed by: Revisiting Malaya: Uncovering Historical and Political Thoughts in Nusuntara ed. by Show Ying Xin and Ngoi Guat Peng Liaw Siau Chi Revisiting Malaya: Uncovering Historical and Political Thoughts in Nusuntara. Edited by Show Ying Xin and Ngoi Guat Peng. Petaling Jaya: SIRD, 2020. 511 pp. ISBN: 9789672165774 After joining the Singapore and Malaysia Office of the Inter-Asia School in Singapore, Dr Ngoi Guat Peng initiated a conference entitled 'Revisiting Malaya: Political and Historical Thoughts' in Kuala Lumpur in 2014 and another conference entitled 'Revisiting Malaya 2.0 International Conference: Links and Fractures in Political and Historical Thoughts' in Yogyakarta in 2016. At that time, Dr Show Ying Xin was the research assistant of the project. Ngoi and Show selected some English conference papers, facilitated the translation into Chinese and published them in Renjian Thought Review, a journal in Taiwan. They subsequently did the same to several Chinese conference papers and published them in the Journal of Inter-Asia Cultural Studies. Producing translations of academic papers is one of the best ways for scholars to share their ideas despite the language barriers that stem from different backgrounds in terms of nationality, culture, and community. This also benefits the public by providing easy access to scholarly points of view. However, the current academic evaluation mechanism for scholars does not consider the production of quality translated academic papers. Ngoi and Show deserve great credit for their contribution on initiating the translations. The initial edition of this book Chong fan Ma lai ya:zheng zhi yu li shi si xiang (重返马来亚：政治与历史思想), was written in Chinese and published in 2017. It contains the transcript of the panel discussions in 2014. The English edition of the book was published in 2020, and it compiled papers presented in 2014 and 2016. It took almost six years to construct a communication channel for academics [End Page 234] from Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and the Philippines to exchange ideas and to facilitate better research to be carried out in different countries. In the Chinese edition's introduction by the editors, Ngoi (魏月萍 & 苏颖欣, 2017, p. X) defines the term 'revisit' as not just confined to the literal meaning of 'return' or to 'visit again' the history. It aims to reflect, redefine, and to a large extent, to reconceptualise. Both editors have credited this to Chen Kuan-Hsing's 'Asia as a method', and Show (pp. 3–5) has elaborated in detail what is the implication of 'Malaya as a method'. 'Here, we seek to explicitly address problems such as colonialism and its ruminations, the intervention of the global Cold War in local realities, as well as the historical links and fractures that emerged during the process of subjectivity recognition and formation during the last century' (p. 4). In this sense, 'Malaya' is not a simple geographical location or a nation-state territory but a concept of epistemology. This book is beneficial to those with an interest in historical and regional research, especially comparative studies on Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, and the Philippines. Some may feel that the subject matter of this book is too divergent. The implication is clear. When choosing one historical topic in a country within this region, we need counterparts to complete the story. However, this book is a collection of conference and subsequently published papers. As Jomo K. S. pointed out, not all contributors adopted 'Malaya as a method' to articulate the discourse (p. xiv). For the benefit of the readers, the editor arranged the twenty-one articles into five main topics, namely, envisioning Malaysia, Malaysia in art and literature, anticolonial struggle and nationalism, imagined communities in the Malay world, the nation-state and beyond. The historical processes of Malaya's independence and the formation of Malaysia are full of challenges and tension. Its influence on neighbouring areas and their reaction is the topic of many essays in this book. For the left-wing in Singapore, embracing Malaya was once the idea of nation-building. Hong Lysa revisited the process of turning this dream into a nightmare. The idea of a 'multicultural nation in which all communities would be treated equally; a nation independent of colonial rule…rights for all people - both political and civil' (p. 48...

Special empirical processes of independence indexed by classes of measurable functions

When analyzing statistical data in biomedical research, insurance, demography, as well as in other areas of practical research, random variables of interest take on certain values depending on the occurrence of certain events, e.g., when testing physical systems (individuals), the values of their operating time depend on the failures of subsystems; in the insurance business, the payments of insurance companies to their customers depends on insured events. In such experimental situations, the problems of studying the dependence of random variables on the corresponding events become rather important thus entailing the necessity to study the limiting properties of empirical processes indexed by classes of functions. The modern theory of empirical processes generalizes the classical results of the laws of large numbers, central and other limit theorems uniformly over the entire class of indexing under the imposition of entropy conditions. These theorems are generalized analogs of the classical theorems of Glivenko – Cantelli and Donsker. Special empirical processes are proposed in the study to check the independence of a random variable and an event. The properties of convergence of empirical processes to the corresponding Gaussian processes are analyzed. The results obtained are used to test the validity of the random right censoring model.

The Impact of Democratic Changes in Poland Upon the Political Transformation and Breakup of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia

The fall of the deeply rooted communism in the countries of the Eastern Bloc in the 1980s has differed according to the level of achieved rights and freedoms, especially in Poland, as it was finalized with the breakup of the Soviet Union. The changes announced with the foundation of “Solidarity” – the first independent syndicate – which spread to the factories and enterprises across Poland beginning in the Lenin Shipyard. The staunch national pride and freedoms, empowered with the strength of the Catholic Church effectively eliminated the weak Soviet-imposed communism. The foundation of the first independent and free Polish syndicate in the strong Soviet Bloc catalyzed the initiation of abrupt and serious reforms in the countries of the Eastern Bloc. The fall of the Berlin Wall intensified the initiated processes of reintegration and independence from external political torture and poverty. The initiated processes intensified amplified changes in SFR Yugoslavia even though the breakup of this country in the early 1990s cost more than its establishment.

INDEPENDENCE AND INSTRUCTION IN BRAZIL, CHILE AND THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (19TH AND 20TH CENTURIES)

Abstract How did processes of independence happen in American countries? What relations were established between national projects and projects for population development? How has the theme of emancipation marked (and still marks) the history of these countries and the peoples’ education? Based on these complex questions, this dossier analyzes the phenomenon of emancipation and its celebration in Chile, USA and Brazil; it is a condition to make the geopolitics of education and pedagogy on national and transnational scale thinkable.

A importância política do Rio de Janeiro e de Buenos Aires a partir de 1808, no processo de independência do Brasil e da Argentina: questões gerais

O presente artigo é uma reflexão de parte da minha tese de doutorado e pretende abordar, de forma sucinta, a importância da província do Rio de Janeiro e do Cabildo de Buenos Aires para o processo de emancipação política do Brasil e Argentina, a partir do ano de 1808, fundamental para as transformações políticas na Iberoamérica. Nesse estudo, buscou-se traçar proximidades comparativas que destaquem como as referidas sociedades optaram e levaram a diferentes concepções políticas para seus processos de independência, monarquia e república, mas que ao fim, legitimaram a manutenção de suas respectivas elites sócio-políticas previamente existentes. O uso das fontes para o caso de Buenos Aires foi estabelecido a partir de trabalhos biográficos e manuais, sua discussão, interpretação e análise se segue a partir da reflexão e estudo sobre o tema em consonância a suas perspectivas iniciais.

The Uniform Variants of the Glivenko-Cantelli and Donsker Type Theorems for a Sequential Integral Process of Independence

In the analysis of statistical data in biomedical treatments, engineering, insurance, demography, and also in other areas of practical researches, the random variables of interest take their possible values depending on the implementation of certain events. So in tests of physical systems (or individuals) on duration of uptime values of operating systems depend on subsystems failures, in insurance business insurance company payments to its customers depend on insurance claims. In such experimental situations, naturally become problems of studying the dependence of random variables on the corresponding events. The main task of statistics of such incomplete observations is estimating the distribution function or what is the same, the survival function of the tested objects. To date, there are numerous estimates of these characteristics or their functionals in various models of incomplete observations. In this paper investigated the asymptotic properties of sequential processes of independence of the integral structure and uniform versions of the strong law of large numbers and the central limit theorem for integral processes of independence by indexed classes are established. The obtained results can be used to construct statistics of criteria for testing a hypothesis of independence of random variables on the corresponding events.

Введение

The introduction examines the interaction of the EU countries and their approaches to the themes of defence and security in the changed geopolitical realities (Brexit, D. Trump's rise to power in the USA, the mood of the new leadership of the EU institutions, etc.). It highlights both the difficulties in creating an independent defence pole and the opportunities that open up in connection with Brexit and an objective reduction in the potential for blocking initiatives aimed at revitalizing and implementing specific defence projects. The difficulties of creating the EU military doctrine and the implementation of a common strategic culture are revealed in the context of different goal-setting of the main participants in European defence construction, related, inter alia, to the heterogeneous development of the integration in the context of its ongoing expansion, different perception and assessment of threats and the existence of de facto unequal security zones in Europe. The nature of the interaction between the CSDP EU and NATO is shown; the role of this interaction as a catalyst for the processes of greater EU independence in the military sphere is highlighted, taking into account the specifics of the EU global approach to resolving crises of low and medium intensity on the periphery of the EU. An assessment of the feasibility of cooperation plans in the field of defence and security, initiatives at the EU and interstate levels in connection with the pandemic is given. It notes the flexibility, sustainability and multi-formatting of defence cooperation in the EU, the political mood of its main participants to continue and improve cooperation within the framework of the CSDP in order to strengthen the EU’s position as an international political actor.

Hegemony in Post-Soviet Georgia: Types of Nationalisms and Masculinities

The article concerns the political history of the post-Soviet Georgian state. The new post-Soviet nation-state is being created and gradually transformed into a political economy of liberal democracy and neoliberal capitalism. In this transformation, Georgia moves away from the Soviet Union and its successor Russia and acquires European identity via the discourse and practices of national political and economic elites. The discursive production of this hegemonic pro-Western nationalism is intertwined with the production of hegemonic masculinities. This article analyzes the discourses of these elites and reveals three types of hegemonic masculinity, which acquire their meaning alongside and through the processes of national independence, militarization, and/or neoliberal reforms and policies. These new masculinities aim to replace old, Soviet, hegemonic masculinities in Georgia and thus, a new kind of hegemonic culture and patriarchy is being created. Further, the historical domination of pro-Western nationalism can be interpreted variously: while Georgia is open, nearly from the outset, to the Western-style political system (liberal democracy), one can also look to certain historical moments as the turning points when an active neoliberal transformation and (discursive) attainment of European identity began in Georgia. Keywords: nationalism; masculinities; hegemony; post-Soviet Georgia.

Intergenerational relationships, emancipation and independence of Chilean students

(analytical): This analytical paper highlights the contemporary transformations in intergenerational relationships, emancipation and independence of Chilean youth who are in their last year of secondary education or the final year of higher education. The methodology involved holding conversation groups in different regions in the country. Relationships with adults tend to be co-figurative and are seen as counter-reference point. Their view of the adult generation is more analytical and, at the same time, in the process of transformation. Unpredictability and uncertainty lead to processes of emancipation and independence that can be reversible and asynchronous. The current moment in history, social polarization and being either a secondary or higher education student are factors that create major differences in the perspectives of how these young people believe their lives will develop.

La (norte) “occidentalización” historiográfica de la revolución… e ¿(Hispano) América?

The triumph of the first liberalism —the revolutionary— against the french Old Regime, from the last third of the 18th century until 1848, invented national histories. The history of the 19th century began to be rewritten, and went from the chronicles to the heroic stories with national dimensions and romantic deeds. National history triumphed. Already in the 20th century, a central part of the interpretations of contemporary history became universal, especially because the cohesive vehicle of this contemporary universalism was the origin, growth, expansion, development and, also, crisis of the capitalist system and its diverse manifestations. Since the fifties, and especially since the sixties of the 20th century, in the context of the Cold War and in the process of the European decolonization in Asia and Africa, there was an intense criticism of this universalist conception of contemporary history for having a eurocentric approach. The present research will address and question this vision, and point out a great omission: the history of the revolutionary processes of Hispanic American independence in most of the contemporary universal histories.

Editorial Foreword

The Romanian Journal for Baltic and Nordic Studies marks its tenth anniversary with a special issue devoted mainly to 100 Years since Modern Independence and Unification in Baltic Sea Region and East-Central Europe, which was the theme of the Ninth Annual International Conference on Baltic and Nordic Studies in Romania held at Valahia University of Târgoviște on November 15-16, 2018. The event focused on the historical, cultural, social and economic processes which led to the independence of Finland, Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia and Poland in the Baltic Sea Region, to the unification of Romania and the independence of Czechoslovakia, Austria, Hungary and Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (Yugoslavia) in East-Central Europe and the consequences of the reshaping of the entire region from the Baltic Sea to the Black Sea and Adriatic Sea. Several other political entities created at the end of World War I such as Ukraine, Georgia or Litbel succumbed after barely living for a few months or years of existence. How did the changes of borders and belonging affect the human communities living in the area and what impact did they have beyond the region on the short, medium and long-run? How were war and peace-making experienced in this region and how did they influence the changes of political geography? How did the processes of independence and unification reverberate throughout the region and how did state and non-state actors reflect, echo and react to this structural transformation of the area? How does this metamorphosis resonate in historical memory, the politics of memory and cultural identity, in historical narratives, including competing narratives, and in the use of history in identity politics a century after the guns were silenced? How does literature permeate the changes occurring at the end of the war to end all wars in the region? How do art, architecture, patrimony, in general, capture the message of those tremendous transformations? Places of commemoration, autobiographies, biographies and memoirs, empiric or theoretical research relevant to the conference topic stood also at the core of the conference.

Nature-aligned approaches to form students’ system motivation

Sustainable development of the society involves the transition of the society from the current evolutional stage to a higher stage without revolutionary destruction of the existing frames of society. An individual, playing a prominent role in human history from time to time, is able to provide for the evolution of consciousness of the whole community, appearing on the top of the evolutional cone in the moment of passing of the system to the qualitatively new stage of its development. Only an integral individual, a person-creator possessing a high potential of harmony is able to accomplish such transition. The golden proportion of the social structure of the society implies a certain correlation of ontological categories of people, having personality orientation that characterizes them as a creator, consumer or destroyer. The modern approaches to education involve motivating a human being to self-improvement all his/her lifelong. The question is that, how much pedagogical systems correspond to the laws of harmony, which provide formation of social strata golden proportion structure considered not from the perspective of class position, but from the perspective of creative personality orientation. The analysis of the existing educational approaches showed, that the best indices satisfying the set social problem belong to noospheric pedagogics, based on nature-aligned methodology of teaching academic disciplines. It is built on principles of health protection and health development, intellectual potential, system motivation of an individual to self-perfection. Nature-aligned educational methodology is personality oriented and enables the student to accomplish object-subject transformation in the process of education, as a result of which, following the receipt of special educational knowledge, abilities and skills, he/she gets common educational abilities and skills, on the basis of which the processes of self-actualization, self-affirmation, independence, self-efficacy, self-leadership, and self-government are initiated and realized. Only the system model of motivation, organized in such a way, forms life potential of personality in the process of education, beginning with primary school and until post-graduate education, that is able to ensure good health and satisfy one’s vanity, without which he/she will not feel happy and assist sustainable development of the society on the whole. Only observing laws of harmony in the educational process provides formation of personalities with a high level of harmony that will determine the level of harmony in the society, as well. The philosophical, managerial, psychological and pedagogical aspects of individual self-perfection processes are considered in the paper. Special attention is paid to the questions of forming common educational abilities and skills in the process of teaching academic disciplines according to the nature-aligned methodology. The key mechanisms of object-subject transformation in the process of education are described, that provide an individual with energy for passing to the next level of his/her personality development. It is shown how nature-aligned methodology of noospheric pedagogics enables to make the process of the student’s personality growth self-regulated in the process of education.

A Class of Special Empirical Processes of Independence

In this paper we investigate the asymptotic properties of one class of empirical processes for certain classes of integrable functions.
