The Effectiveness of an Educational Intervention on Countering Disinformation Moderated by Intellectual Humility

<span lang="EN-US">There is an ongoing debate among scholars on how to tackle disinformation. Media education initiatives to increase literacy are effective ways to counter disinformation. Hence, the European Commission (2022) published <em>Guidelines for Teachers and Educators on Tackling Disinformation and Promoting Digital Literacy Through Education and Training</em>. The present research looked at the role of social media literacy in increasing awareness of the role of social media in spreading disinformation. We developed an educational intervention based on the European Commission guidelines. We investigated its impact on perceived social media literacy, the intention to share fake news on social media, and general conspiracy beliefs. We conducted a within-subject (two times measurement: before the educational intervention and one week after) +1 experiment with <em>N</em> = 127 young adults (aged 18 to 23). After filling in an initial survey, the experimental group received a 15-minute educational intervention on the role of social media for disinformation dissemination in complex digital information environments. One week later, all participants completed the second survey to assess perceived social media literacy and general conspiracy beliefs. In both surveys, participants saw three Instagram posts from a fictitious media outlet to express potential intentions to share on social media. Among the three posts, two showed false information. Findings showed that educational intervention produces a significant increase in perceived social media literacy and a decrease in general conspiracy beliefs. Intellectual humility moderates the impact of educational intervention on algorithmic awareness.</span>

Критерии нуждаемости в постинтернатном патронате: разработка методологического подхода

<p style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US">The article is devoted to the analysis of the concepts of “independence”, “adaptation” and “socialization”, as well as to the identification of definitions of the need for post-institutional patronage of persons from among orphans and children left without parental care in normative legal acts and the formulation of conclusions about the criteria of need, taking into account the regional aspect. The article uses a comprehensive approach, including an analysis of theoretical sources, regulations of the Russian Federation and Moscow, as well as the practical experience of specialists. As a result of the study, it was found that “independence” is defined as a generalized personality quality manifested in initiative and responsibility for one’s actions, “adaptation” is considered as an individual’s ability to assimilate the requirements of the environment, whereas “socialization” is understood as the assimilation of social roles and norms. The analysis showed important dynamic aspects of socialization, including the dependence of its success on external factors and the compliance of social skills with age requirements. The article substantiates the introduction of the concept of “desocialization” and criteria for identifying the risk of desocialization in the context of determining the need for post-institutional patronage of this category of citizens.</span></p>

Специфика родительской идентичности замещающих матерей

<p style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US">The article presents the results of a master’s study of the specifics of the parental identity of substitute mothers with teenage children. Parental attitudes, the degree of acceptance of the parental role, the ratio of ideas about the ideal mother and about oneself as a mother, the stage of personal identity were considered as components of their parental identity. It is proved that the identity of foster mothers has its own specifics, which is expressed in inconsistency, insufficient acceptance of the parental position, attitudes towards an overprotective parenting style of foster children, insufficient attention to the emotional side of the relationship with the child, with higher assessments of their parental competencies compared to biological mothers. The study involved 60 mothers, 30 of whom raised their own children and 30 adopted ones.</span></p>

Психологическое благополучие и жизнестойкость замещающих матерей

<p style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US">This article analyzes the relationship between psychological well-being and resilience in the context of attitudes toward adopted children among foster mothers. The hypothesis suggests that a mother’s active participation in upbringing promotes democratic relationships with the child and creative approaches to problem-solving, and that her psychological well-being depends on an optimistic attitude and willingness to cooperate with the child. The respondents were 48 foster mothers, raising between 1 and 7 adopted children. The average age of the substitute mothers was 40 ± 6 years. To test the hypothesis, the following methods were used: the “Resilience Test” by S. Maddi, the “Psychological Well-Being Scale” by K. Ryff, the “Parental Attitude Diagnostics” questionnaire by A.Ya. Varga and V.V. Stolin, and the “Personal change-readiness survey” in the adaptation by N.A. Bazhanova, G.L. Bardier. The study confirmed the hypothesis and identified a connection between psychological well-being and resilience in substitute mothers. It was also established that the well-being and ability of a substitute mother to withstand social pressure depend on her ability to cope with stress, her readiness for self-realization, and her ability to achieve goals. A high level of psychological well-being contributes to the enjoyment of raising an adopted child.</span></p>

Эмоциональное выгорание и поведение в конфликте специалистов органов опеки и попечительства

<p style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US">The article is prepared on the basis of the results of the final qualifying work and is devoted to the study of the relationship between emotional burnout and behavior in conflict among specialists of guardianship and guardianship authorities in relation to minors (hereinafter — OIP). The participants of the empirical study were 78 employees of the Department of Guardianship and Guardianship of the Department of Education of the Omsk City Administration, aged 22 to 65 years (the average age in the test sample is 40.10 ± 9.69 years). The average work experience of the subjects was 12.18 ± 5.41 years. The study was conducted using psychodiagnostic tools: the Thomas-Killman Questionnaire for Identifying Leading Behavior in a conflict situation, the Questionnaire for Professional (Emotional) Burnout (K. Maslach). It is shown that the statistical dependence of the features of emotional burnout with patterns of behavior in conflict is insignificant. The stage of emotional burnout — “emotional exhaustion” significantly correlates with the scale of behavior in conflict “compromise”. For the other two scales characterizing the stages of emotional burnout, there were no significant correlations with the characteristics of behavior in conflict situations.</span></p>

The Psychosomatic Impact of Alcohol Consumption on Patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome

<span lang="RO">Cardiovascular disease is estimated to be the leading cause of death worldwide (approximately one-third of all deaths). In 2024, the American Heart Association reported that approximately 128 million Americans over the age of 20 were diagnosed with acute myocardial infarction, heart failure, stroke, and high blood pressure. Also, in 2020, Eurostat reported that the main cause of death was represented by cardiovascular diseases representing almost a third of all deaths. In addition, excessive alcohol consumption is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension, myocarditis, decreased cardiac contractility, arrhythmias, thrombotic events, hypoxic acute respiratory failure, and stroke. The impact of alcohol on the cardiovascular system is dependent on the amount of alcohol consumed, thus, as alcohol consumption is constant, the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases increases, especially acute myocardial infarction. Cardiovascular emergencies, especially acute myocardial infarction and stroke, can significantly affect both the physical and mental health of patients. However, the psychological impact of these conditions is often neglected, even though studies show that they can lead to symptoms of anxiety, depression, or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).</span>

Utilizing Virtual Reality in the Treatment of Subacromial Impingement Syndrome: Enhancing Efficacy Through Integration with the Simple Shoulder Test and Pain Arch Test

<span lang="ES">Subacromial impingement syndrome (SIS) is a prevalent cause of shoulder pain and dysfunction. This study investigates the impact of virtual reality (VR) therapy on shoulder function, joint dysfunction, and pain in SIS patients, comparing its effectiveness to traditional rehabilitation methods. Materials and Methods: Over 50 weeks, 288 participants with SIS were recruited and divided into two groups: an experimental group (EG) receiving VR-augmented therapy and a control group (CG) undergoing conventional rehabilitation. Recovery was assessed using the Painful Arch Test and Simple Shoulder Test (SST) at key intervals (T0, T1, T2, and T3). Statistical analysis was conducted to evaluate recovery times and functional improvements. Results: The EG showed significantly faster recovery with a mean duration of 6.04 weeks compared to 7.01 weeks for the CG (p = 0.0041), as determined by the Welch Two Sample t-test. The 95% confidence interval (0.3137 to 1.6330) confirmed the reliability of these findings. The VR group demonstrated sustained functional improvements, as evidenced by narrower interquartile ranges and more stable SST scores over time, particularly by Session 18, indicating reduced variability and faster recovery compared to the CG. Conclusion: VR therapy significantly accelerates recovery in SIS patients, offering faster and more consistent outcomes compared to conventional rehabilitation. These findings highlight the potential of VR as a non-invasive and effective treatment for improving shoulder function in SIS. Further research is warranted to explore its long-term efficacy and potential for personalized rehabilitation programs.</span>

Artificial Intelligence Revolutionizes Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma Management

<span lang="ES">The application of artificial intelligence in esophageal tumor pathology highlights the ongoing and significant transformative impact AI has in medicine. This article provides a comprehensive overview of AI technologies' current use in diagnosing and treating esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC).

These papers encompass a broad spectrum of AI applications related to the management of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. AI integration and deployment in both the diagnosis process and therapeutic interventions for tumors offer highly promising prospects, for example, in endoscopic procedures AI algorithm can process endoscopic images in real-time to identify abnormalities that may be missed by the human eye, it can highlight subtle changes such as color variations, small growths or tissue anomalies, which might go unnoticed due to fatigue, distraction or human limitations in perceiving fine details. AI technologies enhance medical practice precision and effectiveness by significantly reducing the likelihood of human errors and offering practical, innovative solutions. Consequently, AI confluence with medical practice not only increases diagnosis accuracy but also improves the overall efficiency of treating esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.</span>

Psychological Correlates of Post-COVID Condition

<span lang="SK">This article deals with psychological correlates of the post-COVID condition - depression, anxiety, and memory problems including remembering and forgetting. The work has a longitudinal character, while it examines the post-COVID condition in a group of participants based on infection of the disease Covid-19. At the same time, participants who never had this disease (N=86, for the 1. measure and N=38 for the 2. measure) are compared with those who were infected with COVID-19 (N=112, for the 1. measure and N=36 for the 2. measure), while participants were separated for analysis in groups based on the time from infection. Group of respondents who were infected within 3 months, from 3-9 months from infection and 9+ months since infecting with the disease. We used tests for comparison, such as the Kruskal Wallis test and multivariate procedures for within-subject and between-subject changes, using Anova for mixed experimental designs. We also determined the risk of being included in a group based on the time of infection with COVID-19 through multinominal logistic regression. We found differences in all variables in general between those infected with COVID-19 and those not. In neuropsychiatric aspects- anxiety and depression were confirmed cyclical features in those who were infected with COVID-19 in time, with the worst value of variables in the group from 3-9 months from infecting with the disease. In the current memory scale and its subscale, the act of remembering was a value that worsened over time and it was confirmed as an effect of group inclusion.</span>
