An empirical evaluation of recovery transformation at a large community behavioral healthcare organization
No full textIn recent decades, the concept of “recovery” from severe mental illness (SMI) has gained increased prominence among organizations providing behavioral health services. Organizations in many states are currently developing plans to transform their mental health systems in accordance with recovery-oriented care. Even though efforts to bring the principles of recovery to mental health agencies have been well documented in the United States and abroad, there is little empirical evidence to suggest that recovery-oriented services are advantageous. The purpose of this longitudinal study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a recovery-oriented transformation carried out by a large private not-for-profit behavioral healthcare organization serving individuals with SMI. This transformation targeted the philosophy, and specific procedures involved in the provision of care to consumers within the organization. The outcome variables selected to evaluate the impact of the transformation were grouped into the following categories: 1) organizational performance indicators; 2) consumer recovery indicators; 3) staff competencies; and 4) processes that promote recovery. Six hundred and twenty seven consumers and 490 staff participated in the evaluation. The findings suggest that recovery-oriented services had a positive impact on rates of overnight hospitalization, consumers’ ability to function in the community, professional competencies of direct care employees, and working alliance between direct care providers and consumers. This indicates that comprehensive and well structured recovery-oriented behavioral healthcare may offer a cost-efficient and effective alternative to the deficit approach in mental health.Psy.DIncludes bibliographical referencesby Igor Malinovsk
"Supranational" historian of a multinational space in the era of nation-building: Onikii Malinovsky

The author came to the conclusion about the gradual «migration» of a scientist from the space of «supranational» Russian imperial historiographical culture to the national Ukrainian. The reasons for such changes are seen in the integration of the scientist in the context of the scientific and social life of Soviet Ukraine during the Bolshevik Ukrainization period, the probable strengthening of his Ukrainian ethnic loyalty. National reform in Ukraine led to a national-cultural upsurge (the «Red Renaissance») and the spread of national consciousness in the intellectuals' circles. These general processes «hurt» and O.

давнини, пов’язані зі створенням і організацією серійного виробництва

Закладені в ті роки основи нового наукового напряму — кібернетичної техніки — сьогодні активно продовжують
розвивати численні учні та послідовники Б.М. Малиновського.The authors of the article aim to recall the heroic events of 60 years ago, related to the creation and organization of mass
production of the general purpose control machine “Dnipro-1”, which was the first second-generation semiconductor
machine in Europe, as well as to commemorate its chief designer, Boris M. Malinovsky, a well-known scientist in the field
of cybernetics and computer technology, Corresponding Member of the NAS of Ukraine, whose 100th birthday was recently
widely celebrated by the scientific community. Many students and followers of Boris M. Malinovsky, who laid in
those years the foundations of a new scientific field, cybernetics, continue to develop it today
Morpho-physiological characteristics and classification of the Chievitz' juxtaoral organ.
No full textThe authors suppose that thè parenchymal
cells of thè Ist type of thè Chievitz' Juxtaoral
organ may be paraneurons with respect to
their secretory function which may modulate
thè afferent dendritic zones of different
kinds of sensory nerve fonnations — SNF
(endings). In this respect thè parenchymal
cells of thè Ist type may have thè same functions
as glomus cells in thè glomus caroticum
or Merkel cells in thè epidermis. As to thè
function of thè Juxtaoral organ thè authors
presume its multimodal mechanosensory
function, as it contains 4 to 5 kinds of SNF
(intraepithelial nerve fibers, simple arborizations,
maybe Ruffini SNF, glomerular SNF,
and simple sensory corpuscles) with 2 basic
different modes of adaptation: simple SNF.
and Ruffini SNF adapt slowly, some intraepithelial
nerve fibers, glomerular SNF and
lamellar corpuscles adapt rapidly. The existence
of this organ already in newbom indicates
its important mechanosensory function
connected with nutrition reflexes and
orai cavity walls tonus regulation, later on,
connected with mastication and speech, too.
As to thè classification, thè Juxtaoral organ
belongs to complex SNF with a Constant
accumulation of different kinds of SNF
Evidence of a kallikrein inhibitor in human kidney. A new ring of the kallikrein-renin-angiotensin-aldosterone chain
No full textBy means of immunohistochemical reactions, the authors proved the inhibitor II-related immunoreactivity in distal convoluted tubules of human kidney. A sharp inhibitor II-related immunoreactivity was also present in the blood vessels' wall. On the contrary, in the wall of proximal tubules and glomeruli only low reactivity was found. The demonstration of an inhibitor II-related immunoreactivity in the distal convoluted tubules and vessels of human kidney represents a strong evidence that an inhibitor of kallikrein exists and acts also in humans as an important key in the kallikrein-renin-angiotensin aldosterone chain and hitherto confirms the experimental data of the literature. The proved inhibitor in the human kidney may intervene in the modulation of the kallikrein-kinin system and thus represents a key role in the intrarenal mechanisms related to the blood flow and arterial pressure regulation

amorphous material bordering on myocytes, as a highly osmiophii elastic membrana,
and as highly osmiophii slim elastic fibres of different orientation in thè tunica media

Based on a comparison with previous findings in thè case of vasomegaìy of thè
