Get PDFThe purpose of this study was to investigate legal support for privacy, social security and employment status in HIV/AIDS patients considering the international guidelines. The research method was applied in terms of purpose, descriptive in terms of data collection method and qualitative in terms of data type. The statistical population consisted of experts in Law (Shahid Beheshti, Imam Sadiq, Tehran, and Allameh universities). Eight experts were selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews. All interviews were recorded and implemented and after several studies, the categories, sub-categories and codes were extracted and classified as the smallest meaningful units. To analyze data of the qualitative part, content analysis was used in a conventional way. The lawyers' part included issues related to privacy, social security and protection of the employment status of the patients. Overall, the results showed that mandatory legal cases regarding patients for improving their living conditions are either not available or rarely available internationally and nationally, and in the developed countries, according to their own country-specific laws and human right laws that extend to these individuals as human beings, executive measures are adopted
Specific Phenomena of Cognition: Predictors of Life Strategies
Get PDFThe problem field of the presented study includes understudied sociopsychological aspects of attribution in various life situations of an individual. Often, ignorance of the psychological fundamentals of one’s own behavior and behavior of other people leads to unintentional errors that can lead to the most serious consequences. Attributive processes in the range of such potential reasons take one of the first places. It is for these reasons that this study is important both in theoretical and in scientific and practical aspects. The paper presents the results of a theoretical and methodological analysis of the problem of cognitive phenomena of knowledge: predictors of life scenarios in a dimension of attribution. The following indicators of assessing life events have been formulated: a type of event, inclusion in the situational context, self-assessment by a person of the significance and emotional coloring of the event, the structure of inter-event relationships and the role of the event in this structure. The research tools have been determined that are used to study the person’s life path, his life strategies and alternatives based on biographical methods of personality research. A program has been designed for the application of psychological diagnostic methods in the study of life events of an individual. To study the life path of an individual, his life strategies and alternatives, it is necessary to conduct a comprehensive study, including applied technologies for modeling the life path of an individual in comparison with the norms and types obtained statistically in large samples. It has been proved that the psychological space of the personality of an individual from the point of view of the attributive approach is multi-alternative and multi-tiered. A negative consequence of variability is a constant distortion: the prevalence in the processes of understanding and interpretation of another person of the estimated component; a low level of reflection, accompanied by resistance to awareness of the causes of their difficulties and unwillingness to change anything in his behavior

VOCABULARY SYSTEM AS A REFLECTION OF THE NATION’S LINGUOCULTURAL PECULIARITIES
Get PDFThe article is devoted to the solution of several issues. The first one is the consideration of cultural linguistics as a modern science studying features of culture, which are reflected in the specific language of the specific country, on all levels of the language systems, especially in vocabulary. The second issue concerns studying and analyzing the correlation of the standard language system vocabulary specific features and the vocabulary features of the language variant system in another country.

The article shows some particularities of the vocabulary variation and provides some information on the possible reason for that fact. Contrastive-comparative, contextual analysis, lingo-stylistical, continuous sampling and content methods were used in the research
MEANING MEDIATION OF SPACE-TIME CHARACTERISTICS OF AN EXTREME SITUATION
Get PDFThe present research is an empirical and theoretical revision of the classical experiments of D. DeLong and D. Bobko on the nature of space-time relations in estimating the duration of time intervals. Experiments show how the meaning orientation has a specific effect on the experience of duration. An experimentally modeled situation that is perceived as extreme gives a shift in the estimation of the time duration. The interpretation of this shift could be revised from the point of view of transforming the meaning orientation of a person, expressed in the extent of the opportunities that open up to the subject in a life situation. This allows us to interpret the perception of duration as a dynamic formation. It is transformed in the process of changing the meaning structure of the human life world in extreme conditions. The interpretation of meaning mediation of an extreme situation (in its significance for human life), which determines the subjective estimation of the short time intervals duration, is proposed. The data develop the idea of cultural mediation of spatially temporal relations (M. Bakhtin, Ukhtomsky, S. Rubinstein, V. Zinchenko, Yu. Strelkov, N. Tolstykh, M. Magomed-Eminov, etc.), develop the theory of meaningful interpretation of the perception of time (P. Fraisse, B. Tsukanov), and place the accents in the assumptions about the slowing down of the intervals filled with unpleasant experiences and the acceleration of those filled with pleasant ones. The present study develops a spherical model of time and the concept of personality work of the individual with own temporal experience as the construction of temporal identity mediated by the cultural and historical experience of a unique living person (M. S. Magomed-Eminov)
