How is it like, suddenly to find yourself under Russia bomb-attacks? Monstrous consequences for peaceful Ukrainians’ psyche
No full textMonstrosity of russia-attacking on Ukraine became a hot topic for global scientific community. Majority of articles devoted to Ukrainian war-situation are commentaries, demonstrative-reviewal information, narrations, written in a descriptive-expository-elucidative form. There are only single scientific mathematical-statistical results, but no analysis of person’s mental/psycho-emotional state.
For the first time, the psychic/psycho-emotional state of civilians, remained in Kharkov shelled by aggressor-russia (furthermore, from the first war days), was studied. Visual psychodiagnostics methods – observation, conversation was used: watching; scrutinization; surveillance- overseeing; reviewing while going the battle-events (the only possible ones during constant missile strikes/explosions around). Study participants (n=585) stayed in Kharkov during all period of active rocket/bomb attacks. There were determined and characterized time-stages of participants’ states, partially similar to those when people learn about the diagnosis of cancer/radiation/IDS diseases:
• shocking non-understanding, fear-anxiety-unbelief (1st-2d weeks);
• sadness-loneliness-waiting (3d-4th);
• indifference-adaptability-hope (5th);
• unconcern-carelessness-heedlessness dangerous for life, for many unwavering faith in victory, its expectation (6th and on).
For Kharkovites (all Ukrainians, too), it is impossible to realize-accept that the war is going on: the state of unbelief-unacceptance-nonunderstanding this fact rests, remains deep subconsciously. Remaining alive, a person has a need to imitate the former normal life – thus, automatically protective-defensing body mechanism is triggered. Such psychic states’ manifestations were identified, traced their evolution: nervousness (with increasing participants’ age, the quantity who felt it decreased – from 75% to 30%), constant emotional stress (slightly increased with age – 60%-75%), sharp change in mood (significantly decreased with age – 90%-12%). Children appeared the most vulnerable and susceptible to all psychic/psycho-emotional states: 90%-55% compared to 75%-12% of adults. These states are dangerous because they may initiate pathological neurologo-somatic disorders in the body.
With the aim of prevention-rehabilitation, the participants were offered self-healing techniques (Reiki, meditation, sport exercises) which helped to divert attention, partially stabilizing the psycho-physiological state
Alexithymia phenomenology in psychology: Innovative explanatory-functional psychological paradigm
No full textAlexithymia brings negative consequences on the psycho-emotional well-being and health of an individual. This narrative review attempted to explore previous research at the objective to advance understanding of psychological, essence and genesis on this phenomenon. We presented an analysis of numerous investigations and review works with the aim to fill the existing large gap in the psychological explanation of the emergence and functioning of alexithymia.
The truth is that alexithymia is still predominantly studied at the clinical-medical level. Namely, psychological roots are not considered in research or reviews at all, and no consensus on alexithymia psychological origin exists. Evidence indicated that whilst the existing research findings establish multisided relationships between alexithymia and various risk-factors, extremely little is known about its psychological origin and mechanism.
The present overview is the first attempt to elucidate psychological essence and genesis of alexithymic symptoms and delve into presenting a disclosure and adequate explanation of the psychological mechanism of alexithymia functioning. Moreover, for the first time an innovative definition of alexithymia is given within the framework of the explanatory-functional psychological paradigm. This article is a narrative review with less rigorous methodology; nevertheless, it is useful for coherent detailed highlighting the problem posed and in cases when too much research from different scientific fields and directions is analyzed

Creative Life-Orientation in a Paradigm of Personality’s Health and Positive Existence
Full text linkIn the present work the conception of personal creative life-orientation ispresented. Within the limits of the given conception, it is proved that creativelife-orientation, firstly, results in improved quality of life expressed by positive figures in health-keeping parameters and, secondly, it has a dualistic nature which reveals it both as a condition and as a result of the construction of an existential algorithm.The new terminological Russian-English pair “creative life-orientation = креативность” is used to appropriately differentiate terms that would otherwiseshare the same denotation in Russian: “творчество” and “креативность”.In the field context of language traning, it is shown that the deployment ofcreative life-orientation is accompanied by its positive influence on the psycho-soma-physiological wellbeing and on the efficiency of a person’s lifecapability
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Жизнесозидающая креативность личности : монография
No full textВ данной книге феномен креативности впервые рассматривается как жизнесозидающая динамическая направленность и обосновывается положение о том, что креативный образ жизни – это не только стратегический жизненный девиз, но и способ пребывания в хорошем психосоматическом состоянии. Установлено позитивное воздействие креативности на психоэнергетику и сомофизиологическое состояние здоровья человека, при котором система Рэйки (как один из древневосточных искусств восстановления и самовосстановления психофизиологических функций) выступает в роли дополнительного вспомогательного здоровье-стабилизирующего средства, действенно влияющего на организм и экзистенцию человека. Учение и техника применения системы Рэйки впервые получают научное обоснование. Определена психолого-философская база исследования, обобщены теоретико-эмпирические результаты, даны краткие историко-философские и культурологические сведения из жизни ряда восточноазиатских государств, приведены некоторые факты о самобытности, жизненных приоритетах и исконных традициях народов этих стран. Система Рэйки, раскрытая в ракурсе ее позитивного влияния на восстановительные процессы в организме, описана в соавторстве с итальянским оператором-оллистом, психологом Массимо Мэдоро, в главе 3.
Монография предназначена для научных работников, преподавателей и студентов, а также для всех, кто интересуется психологией становления личности, вопросами духовности, жизненной креативности, самоактуализации, психо-сомофизиологии здоровья, психоэнергетических резервов человека, взаимосвязи между раскрытием его духовно-креативного потенциала и качеством жизни.

Psychological mechanism of the ancient-oriental Reiki technique: rehabilitation and (self)restoration of the psychosomatic state of human body. [Психологічний механізм давньосхідної техніки Рейкі: реабілітація та (само)відновлення психосоматичного стану організму людини]
No full textEffective bioenergetic therapy Reiki leads to a significant reduction in unwanted affective-behavioral response, allowing a person to effectively overcome stress, rationally use own phenomenal natural arsenal and control its power. At the same time, Reiki not only improves the somatic-physiological functioning of the individual’s body and replenishes its protective and compensatory resources, but also normalizes the circulation of the psycho-bio-energetic flow (and therefore stabilizes the biofield). Thereby, it provides psycho-stability and emotional balance, and mainly, its cumulative positive effect is the normalization of physiological and somatic parameters during the functioning of the body.
Nowadays, the use of Reiki technique seems to be especially relevant: on the one hand, there is an urgent need for training/rehabilitation of personnel of professional contingents of the security sector, defense and emergency rescue teams of Ukraine, both before and after their staying in extreme conditions; on the other hand, Reiki will significantly optimize the work with the general population (including with people who remained in the war zones, and with refugees from these areas).Ефективна біоенергетична терапія Рейкі призводить до значного зниження небажаної афективно-поведінкової реакції, дозволяючи людині ефективно долати стрес, раціонально використовувати власний феноменальний природний арсенал і контролювати його силу. При цьому Рейки не тільки покращує соматично-фізіологічне функціонування організму людини, поповнює його захисні та компенсаторні ресурси, а й нормалізує циркуляцію психобіоенергетичного потоку (і відповідно стабілізує біополе). Тим самим він забезпечує психостабільність і емоційну рівновагу, а головним чином його сукупний позитивний ефект полягає в нормалізації фізіологічних і соматичних параметрів життєдіяльності організму.
У наш час застосування техніки Рейкі видається особливо актуальним: з одного боку, існує нагальна потреба у навчанні/реабілітації особового складу професійних контингентів сектору безпеки, оборони та аварійно-рятувальних формувань України як до, так і після перебування в екстремальних умовах; з іншого боку, Reiki суттєво оптимізує роботу із широким населенням (у тому числі з людьми, які залишилися в зонах бойових дій, і з біженцями з цих територій)
