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>

PERSONAL QUALITIES IMPORTANT FOR THE PROFESSIONAL ACTIVITY OF THE MODERN MIDDLE LEVEL MANAGER

The peculiarity of this level of management lies in the fact that the middle level manager is the organizer and supervisor of the process of implementation of decisions and actions taken by high-level managers. The modern management system, along with rapid changes in socio-economic conditions, also makes special demands on the middle level manager. In the conditions of modern imperatives, the focus of attention is on the issue of matching the characteristics of managerial activity and the psychological qualities of the manager, which can be the basis for effective activity and professional development. The professional development of middle-level managers is determined by a unique combination of important professional psychological qualities, namely: emotional intelligence, thinking, voluntary self-regulation, social-communication knowledge. The conducted research works provide an opportunity to state that conscientiousness, self-regulation of behavior, and creativity are important personal qualities for a modern middle level manager. Creativity is also characteristic of middle level managers: it is above average among middle level managers. It means that we can talk about such important professional qualities of a modern middle level manager as conscientiousness, control of behavior and creativity.

Dynamics of the Efficiency of Providing Multidisciplinary Rehabilitation Assistance to Victims with Spine Injuries

The degree of damage to spine is now a threat to health and optimal functioning of the human body in the post-traumatic period. Taking into account the peculiarities of the mechanism of psychogenic disorders in the conditions of the full-scale Russian invasion contributes to the specialist’s readiness for stress and conflict situations during the rehabilitation period of work with the victims. The purpose of the article is to substantiate the dynamics of the effectiveness of providing multidisciplinary rehabilitation care to victims with spinal cord injuries. Psychocorrection should contain a list of training exercises aimed at the development of self-awareness, improvement of psychological culture, improvement of reflective personality characteristics, self-actualization and will involve mastering the skills of voluntary psychophysical self-regulation of the state. Research methods. Among psychodiagnostic methods, the following were used: the questionnaire «Change in the quality of life due to the disease», the method of determining the intensity of the pain syndrome according to the visual analog pain scale (VAS) and the Minnesota Multi-Profile Personality Questionnaire (MMRI-2) to assess the psychological status of the individual. The characteristics of motor activity were determined according to the dynamics of Hauser’s gait index, which determines the mobility of the victim and his ability to move freely and the need for auxiliary means of support. Research results. In subjects with spinal cord injury during hospitalization and psychocorrection changes in the gait state according to the Hauser index (muscle strength) were improved from 3.18±0.13 points on average for the group to 4.9±0.63 after the injury. This indicates that after 10-12 months’ treatment all subjects moved without the help of other attendants, some of whom were completely independent, within and outside the home to overcome thresholds and low curbs. Motor activity and gait were improved; there was a noticeable decrease in the intensity of pain, anxiety and depression.

The specifics of the formation of arbitrary self-regulation in preschool children with mental retardation

The difficulties associated with the development of arbitrary self-regulation in preschool children with mental retardation are analyzed. The classification of psychophysiological peculiarities of children with mental retardation in preschool age and their influence on the formation of self-control and readiness for educational activities is given. Based on the study and analysis of sources, the importance of the development of voluntary self-regulation in preschool age in children with mental retardation has been established. The assumptions about the sensitivity of preschool age in the formation of arbitrariness and self-control are substantiated.

Кибербуллинг в подростковом возрасте: агрессор и жертва

<p style="text-align: justify;">The following research analyses the results of the empirical study conducted among adolescents showing high levels of cyberbullying and their peers prone to cyber victimization. The theoretical basis for the purpose of the following research is represented by the modern studies and their conflicting profiling of the personality features specific for adolescents prone to bullying as well as victimization in cyberspace. The case study is represented by a group of eighth and ninth grade students studying in Moscow schools, the respondents were divided into three groups: those showing high levels of cyberbullying (N=29), those showing distinct cyber victim behavior (N=34), and those showing standard behavior in this area (N=30). The research is based on the following studies and methodologies: Multifactorial personality questionnaire (14 PF) by R.B. Cattell, «Level of subjective control» test by V.F. Bazhin, E.A. Golynkina, A.M. Atkind and test by A.V. Zverkov, E.V. Eydman’s "Study of voluntary self-regulation". The research has identified similar features specific for adolescents showing clear signs of cyberbullying as well as cyber victim behavior: low levels of emotional stability and self-control, external locus of control, reduced levels of internality in interpersonal relationships. The research also identifies specific personality features distinct for each group. The data collected in this study can be applied when developing programs to prevent cyberbullying among adolescents.</p>

Вертикальный вектор мозговой организации отклоняющегося поведения: от нейродинамических дисфункций к регуляторным

<p style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US">Violations of voluntary self-regulation are an important factor in deviant behavior, which determines the importance of studying their brain mechanisms. The requests of preventive practice require the identification of the most ontogenetically early mechanisms, largely based on the work of the energy block of the brain. Corrective influence on this block allows overcoming neurodynamic dysfunctions and systemically caused problems of voluntary self-regulation, that is, normalizing the work of the vertical vector of the brain organization of behavior to prevent possible behavioral deviations. The article presents a neuropsychological analysis of the results of studies covering common dysfunctional states of the vertical vector of the brain organization of behavior. Particular attention is paid to the subnormal level of dysfunction. It is concluded that regulatory dysfunctions, which are among the determinants of deviant behavior, can be both primary and secondary; in the latter case, they are based on the deficiency of the structures of the energy block of the brain, the modern neuropsychological strategy for overcoming which is also described in the article.</span></p>

Развитие профессионального стиля саморегуляции у сотрудников ОВД в условиях обучения в центре профессиональной подготовки

The problem of developing a professional style of self-regulation among employees of the internal affairs bodies who are first recruited and undergoing training in vocational training centers is considered. The goal is to develop and test a specialized program for mastering the methods of arbitrary mental self-regulation, applicable in the conditions of the Center for Psychological Training. Materials and methods. The total sample of the study was 64 people aged 20 to 30 years. The experimental group of 20 people and the control group of 21 people were employees who were taking an initial training course at the Central Training Center of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Moscow. An initial and final psychodiagnostic study was carried out using a test battery of the APPDK "Multipsychometer", sensorimotor and cognitive tests using a specialized space. An evaluation role at the final stage was also played by the data of expert surveys, self-reports of participants, and keeping a diary according to the model of A. V. Alekseev. At the stage of formative empirical research, complexes of methods of arbitrary mental self-regulation (PPSR) were used, as well as a set of lead-up exercises. Results and discussion. It was found that in the process of formation and development of the professional style of self-regulation among police officers, the most important factors are: the use of breathing, body-oriented and other lead-in exercises; the process of mastering voluntary self-regulation has a more stable result, provided that a certain algorithm for mastering the exercises of voluntary self-regulation is used, which involves a gradual acquaintance with entering an altered state of consciousness; such an algorithm makes it possible to carry out this work within the time frame determined by the duration of the training period for police officers in the framework of primary professional training. Conclusions. The ability for voluntary mental self-regulation is successfully developed among employees, provided that a targeted program is used, based on the idea of systematic mastering of an excessive set of self-regulation methods with gradual individualization and professionalization of the style of their implementation.

Effectiveness of Regulatory Policies on Online/Digital/Internet-Mediated Alcohol Marketing: a Systematic Review

BackgroundThe rapid growth of social networking sites and video sharing platforms has created an opportunity for the alcohol industry to employ advanced advertising and marketing approaches to target their audiences, increasingly blurring the lines between commercial marketing and user-generated content, which poses a challenge for effective regulation.MethodsWe conducted a systematic search through three peer-reviewed journal databases (WoS, PubMed, Scopus). Studies were included if published in English, after 2004, and assessed statutory regulation or voluntary industry codes, enacted by an EU or nation’s governmental agency or private entity, and with the intent to restrict digital alcohol advertising. In addition, we conducted a manual search of gray literature.ResultsA total of 4690 records were identified. After duplicate removal and full-text assessment, 14 articles were examined. Our findings indicate that children and adolescents may often be exposed to alcohol advertisements on social media and websites due to industry’s self-regulatory age-affirmation systems being largely ineffective at preventing under-aged access. Cases of self-regulatory violations by the alcohol industry, and increasingly innovative ‘gray-area’ advertising approaches have also been noted. Additionally, research illustrates a lack of developed statutory restrictions of digital alcohol advertising and instead continued reliance on voluntary industry self-regulation.ConclusionsThere is a substantial need for further research to examine the effectiveness of digital alcohol advertising restrictions in social media, websites and image/video sharing platforms. Moreover, there is a necessity for countries to develop comprehensive statutory frameworks, which would effectively restrict and monitor rapidly advancing digital alcohol advertising practices on new digital media.

Teaching in the Light of Activity Theory Applied to Preschool: Reflections on Brazilian Practice.

Activity Theory applied by the teacher to preschool education favors the development of new psychological formations, such as perception, attention, memory, thought, language, and voluntary self-regulation, which prepare the child for school. To highlight the contributions of N.F. Talyzina based on Activity Theory applied to preschool education and to reflect on the theory's use in the Brazilian education system. This article is theoretically built from research in a sandwich doctorate program in Puebla, Mexico and internship supervision practices for psychologist training at a public university in Brazil's central-west region. Activity Theory is seldom applied to teaching, including in Brazil, and there is little knowledge about the scientific contributions of one of its practitioners, the late N.F. Talyzina. We chose the preschool stage as the focus of our reflections, and we maintain that the introduction of role-playing as the main activity in early childhood education promotes the development of psychological neoformations and prepares the child for the next stage of school. Finally, we present the internship practices in applied psychology in a Brazilian children's group, with evidence of advances. There is a need for expansion of the formative experiments reported here to the Brazilian population, for scientific dissemination of the results, and promotion of teacher training and qualification in Activity Theory.

Fair-washing in the market for structured retail products? Voluntary self-regulation versus government regulation

Regulation of the market for structured retail investment products in Germany switched from voluntary self-regulation to government regulation. In 2014, issuers of structured retail products subscribed to the “Fairness Code” as an instrument of self-regulation. A key measure of the Fairness Code was the mandatory disclosure of an “Issuer Estimated Value” (IEV) to provide information about hidden investment costs for the retail customer. In 2018, this measure became obsolete, since the new EU regulation on Packaged Retail and Insurance-Based Investment Products (PRIIPs) prescribed a direct disclosure of investment costs. We compare these instruments of voluntary self-regulation and government regulation and analyze issuers’ disclosure policies under both regimes. The new regulation effectively forces issuers to report actual costs correctly. In contrast, the self-regulated IEV was of limited use for retail investors, because (i) its definition was ambiguous, and (ii) issuers exploited this opaqueness by reporting disproportionately high IEVs. Hence, under voluntary self-regulation issuers professed transparency and fairness, but continued to hide costs in their prices.

Health and Development Aspect of Performance Training of Future Teachers-Musicians

The ways of optimizing the professional training of future music teachers are explored in the article. The purpose of the article is to actualize the direction of musical performance of future teachers-musicians in the direction of health and development. The research methods used were the methods of theoretical and critical analysis, synthesis, abstraction, concretization, etc. Results. The authors of the article states that it is generally known that the traditional performing training of music teachers consists of intellectual-cognitive, creative-interpretive and operational-performing components. In the conditions of the post-war period, the musical and recreational component of the performance training of future teachers-musicians acquires special relevance. The health component is formed thanks to the improvised (spontaneous) musical performance activity and the strong-willed mood of the performer. The authors has defined that the methodical techniques of instrumental improvisation are: spontaneous music-making on elementary musical instruments, rhythmic accompaniment of well-known musical compositions, improvised musical accompaniment of fairy tales, performances, creation of images of nature (noise of rain, forest, gurgling stream, etc.). The methodical exercises of vocal improvisation include vocal questions and answers, musical conversation, dialogue, exercises for completing a certain melodic phrase or a well-known melody, songs, chants, etc. The skill of rhythmic improvisation is formed with the help of various methods and techniques of «playing on the body» – body percussion. The development of volitional self-regulation during performing activities is achieved by playing or singing in front of an imaginary audience, in an ensemble. It is also achieved by increasing the experience of concert performances on various stage venues, psychological attitude to success, putting up an imaginary «wall»; between the performer and the listeners, verbal and figurative suggestions, breathing exercises, etc. Conclusions. The health-developmental direction of performance activity of future teachers-musicians is an effective means of optimizing music-pedagogical education in Ukraine according to the requirements of the times. Its task includes the construction of musical and educational activities of future teachers-musicians of institutions of general secondary education in combination with the process of preserving and preventing the health of children's personalities. Spontaneous music making and improvisation are an extremely effective means of directing musical and performing activities in the health-developmental direction. The process of formation of voluntary self-regulation of the performer (teacher-musician) requires special attention in the health-developmental approach to performance training. The issue of optimizing the educational process of future music teachers in accordance with the requirements of the time is complex and multifaceted; therefore the conducted research does not exhaust all aspects of the investigated problem.

Respiratory sinus arrhythmia during biofeedback is linked to persistent improvements in attention, short-term memory, and positive self-referential episodic memory.

BackgroundHeart rate variability (HRV) biofeedback, an intervention based on the voluntary self-regulation of autonomic parameters, has been shown to affect prefrontal brain functioning and improve executive functions. The interest in using HRV biofeedback as cognitive training is typically ascribed to parasympathetic activation and optimized physiological functioning deriving from increased cardiac vagal control. However, the persistence of cognitive effects is poorly studied and their association with biofeedback-evoked autonomic changes has not yet been explored. In addition, no study has so far investigated the influence of HRV biofeedback in adults on long-term episodic memory, which is particularly concerned with self-referential encoding processing.MethodsIn the present study, a novel training system was developed integrating HRV and respiratory biofeedback into an immersive virtual reality environment to enhance training efficacy. Twenty-two young healthy adults were subjected to a blinded randomized placebo-controlled experiment, including six self-regulation training sessions, to evaluate the effect of biofeedback on autonomic and cognitive changes. Cardiac vagal control was assessed before, during, and 5 min after each training session. Executive functions, episodic memory, and the self-referential encoding effect were evaluated 1 week before and after the training program using a set of validated tasks.ResultsLinear mixed-effects models showed that HRV biofeedback greatly stimulated respiratory sinus arrhythmia during and after training. Moreover, it improved the attentional capabilities required for the identification and discrimination of stimuli ( = 0.17), auditory short-term memory ( = 0.23), and self-referential episodic memory recollection of positive stimuli ( = 0.23). Episodic memory outcomes indicated that HRV biofeedback reinforced positive self-reference encoding processing. Cognitive changes were strongly dependent on the level of respiratory sinus arrhythmia evoked during self-regulation training.ConclusionThe present study provides evidence that biofeedback moderates respiration-related cardiac vagal control, which in turn mediates improvements in several cognitive processes crucial for everyday functioning including episodic memory, that are maintained beyond the training period. The results highlight the interest in HRV biofeedback as an innovative research tool and medication-free therapeutic approach to affect autonomic and neurocognitive functioning. Finally, a neurocognitive model of biofeedback-supported autonomic self-regulation as a scaffolding for episodic memory is proposed.

Институты гражданского общества: общетеоретический аспект

The authors of the article address the origins of appearing and developing of the main idea of the article in order to correctly identify the notion and the purpose of the idea of the civil society. The authors research various points of view on the issue of the connection of the State and the civil society. The authors of the article point out the peculiarities of the process of forming of the civil society in Russia. The authors give the definition of the notion of “civil society” and point out its features. Despite the fact that the legal definition for the “institutes of the civil society” does not exist, the authors underline that the term is used broadly in the existing federal and regional legislation. Basing their research on the opinion of scientists about the legal nature and structure of the civil society, the authors give the definition for the “institute of the civil society”. They present the classification of the institute of the civil society using different criteria. According to this classification, the institutes are divided because of their status differences, functional orientation, level of participation in law enforcement activities, prevention of offences etc. The authors point out that the institutional approach to classification of the institutes of the civil society is widely spread because it allows distinguishing and describing some separate subjects of the civil society that exercise certain interests. The authors conclude with the explanation of why non-profit organizations are viewed as the institutes of the civil society. They point out that any state corporation, self-regulating organization that is represented as a non-profit organization cannot be viewed as an institute of the civil society because they perform public functions of the State. That is why only some part of non-profit organizations can be viewed as institutes of the civil society; they should have such features as voluntary nature, self-regulation, self-organizing, self-activity and self-responsibility.

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.

Data-Driven Approach to the Analysis of Real-Time FMRI Neurofeedback Data: Disorder-Specific Brain Synchrony in PTSD.

Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) can be used in real-time fMRI neurofeedback (rtfMRI NF) investigations to provide feedback on brain activity to enable voluntary regulation of the blood-oxygen-level dependent (BOLD) signal from localized brain regions. However, the temporal pattern of successful self-regulation is dynamic and complex. In particular, the general linear model (GLM) assumes fixed temporal model functions and misses other dynamics. We propose a novel data-driven analyses approach for rtfMRI NF using intersubject covariance (ISC) analysis. The potential of ISC was examined in a reanalysis of data from 21 healthy individuals and nine patients with post-traumatic stress-disorder (PTSD) performing up-regulation of the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC). ISC in the PTSD group differed from healthy controls in a network including the right inferior frontal gyrus (IFG). In both cohorts, ISC decreased throughout the experiment indicating the development of individual regulation strategies. ISC analyses are a promising approach to reveal novel information on the mechanisms involved in voluntary self-regulation of brain signals and thus extend the results from GLM-based methods. ISC enables a novel set of research questions that can guide future neurofeedback and neuroimaging investigations.

Corporate Social Responsibility in the Legal Framework of Global Value Chains

Abstract What is the place of voluntary self-regulation in today’s international trade? Can we continue to understand the contract in its relation to the historical unity of state and law considering the massive transformation of the closely related dichotomies between national and international, public and private, and hard law and soft law? What is the role of corporate social responsibility (CSR) in the contemporary debate over global value chains (GVCs)? This paper addresses on the role of law in societal challenges arising from the kaleidoscopic view of globalization. GVCs operate through interdependent contracts and in relation to multiple normative orders that impose moral, economic, and legal obligations. This paper seeks to re evaluate the role of contract law in its relation to sustainable and ethical global trade. The perspective it develops prioritizes the interaction between extra-legal considerations in contract law and the momentum of CSR as well as the historical dynamics of law, economics, and politics.

Forced Leadership as a Social Psychological Phenomenon in Professionally Successful Women Scientists

In today's world, women are increasingly taking the place of leaders, so they have to be active, focused, resistant to stress, have a high level of self-regulation, and be able to work in a team. So, we can see how women are sometimes forced to become leaders in difficult life circumstances. Due to persistence, self-education, determination, they work in leadership positions and demonstrate masculine personality traits. The study aimed to study the psychological characteristics of women scientists who hold high positions in educational establishments - vice-rector, dean, and department head. We hypothesized that the professional success of women scientists depends on the level of their potential leadership skills. The study involved 75 women from higher education institutions who successfully work as vice-rectors, deans, heads of departments. All of them have the degree of doctors of philosophy from various scientific fields and combined scientific activity with managerial activity. Analysis of the results of empirical research showed that a high level of leadership skills determines the professional success of 37% of women studied, but 63% of women scientists have other determinants of professional success. Differences in indicators were identified, and three groups of women were characterized depending on the level of development of their leadership abilities. In groups of women with a medium and low level of leadership skills, the main determinants of professional success are the focus on real-life circumstances, high level of development of stable emotional and volitional sphere, voluntary self-regulation, self-control in difficult situations, emotional stability. Women who have achieved professional success, not on the basis of potential leadership abilities, form a socially determined personal quality - forced leadership, which we tend to consider as a social psychological phenomenon, which is based on the ability to adapt to living conditions in situations requiring a person to choose against own individual psychological features, namely to become a leader, to cultivate the traits inherent in a true leader.

FORMATION OF THE MECHANISM OF ACTIVATION AGRICULTURAL BUSINESS SUBJECTS’ SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

The article examines the formation of a mechanism for enhancing the social responsibility of agricultural businesses. It is established that the fundamental basis for the formation of a fundamentally new mechanism for activating social responsibility of agricultural businesses should be the concept of social competitiveness, which requires the transformation of socio-economic ties, the formation of integration development strategy, and its content is a gradual transition from individual social obligations. commitment to systemic social investment and obtaining on this basis not only economic benefits (maximizing profits or meeting the financial interests of business owners), but also increasing the level of competitiveness of sectors, territories, industries, providing not only economic but also social protection economic entities and the general community. The expediency of introduction of organizational and economic mechanism of social responsibility of agrarian business subjects based on the concept of formalization of influence of a condition and dynamics of social components of economic potential of the specified subjects of economic relations on their competitiveness, economic efficiency of basic activity and stability of economic development is substantiated. Summarizing the formation of organizational and economic mechanism of social responsibility of agribusiness on the principles of polystructurality, complementarity, institutional certainty, and convergent combination of areas of economic effects of socially responsible initiatives, it can be argued that its practical implementation in real agricultural enterprises contributes to better agricultural production. performance indicators of agricultural enterprises in the process of transformation of socio-economic relations of the industry. In other words, we consider it appropriate to note that the emphasis in cooperation with business is gradually shifting towards voluntary self-regulation, and business structures in the agricultural sector in the context of increasing competitiveness are gradually moving from non-systemic forced charity to more complex, strategic forms of interaction with public and government. Keywords: social responsibility, subjects of agrarian business, mechanism of activation of social responsibility.

Теоретические аспекты исследования произвольной саморегуляции и нервно-психической устойчивости у сотрудников правоохранительных органов

the article is devoted to the theoretical aspects of voluntary self-regulation and its role in the formation of the neuropsychiatric stability of law enforcement officers. The analytical review of the problem of scientific research devoted to self-regulation is presented. Self-regulation is considered in the context of the most complex and significant problems of personal stability in general and the specifics of stress resistance in law enforcement officers in their professional activities in particular. The essence and conceptual apparatus associated with the phenomenon of self-regulation are revealed from the perspective of different branches of scientific knowledge. A special place is given to the justification of the influence of voluntary self-regulation on the neuropsychiatric stability of the individual, while arbitrary self-regulation is considered as a process and result associated with self-knowledge, labor efficiency and professional longevity of employees.
