Tagging of Biomedical Articles on CiteULike: A Comparison of User, Author and Professional Indexing
No full textThis paper examines the context of online indexing from the viewpoint of three different groups: users, authors, and professional indexers. User tags, author keywords and descriptors were collected from academic journal articles, which were both indexed in Pubmed and tagged on CiteULike, and analysed. Descriptive statistics, informetric measures, and thesaural term comparison shows that there are important differences in the use of keywords between the three groups in addition to similarities which can be used to enhance support for search and browse. While tags and author keywords were found that matched descriptors exactly, other terms which did not match but provided important expansion to the indexing lexicon were found. These additional terms could be used to enhance support for searching and browsing in article databases as well as to provide invaluable data for entry vocabulary and emergent terminology for regular updates to indexing systems. Additionally, the study suggests that tags support organisation by association to task, projects and subject while making important connections to traditional systems which classify into subject categories

Cultural active approach to the issue of emotion regulation: theoretical explanation and empirical verification of a conceptual model
No full textThe paper gives a theoretical explanation and empirical verification of a conceptual emotion-regulating model, developed in the theoretical methodological context of cultural-active paradigm. A universal hypothesis concerning emotion regulation as a system including psychological and physiological levels has been verified empirically. The psychological level may be subdivided on motivational thinking level and operational technical ones, ruled by such psychological mechanisms as reflection and symbolical mediation. It has been figured out that motivational peculiarities determine the manifestation of other analyzed components of the system of emotion regulation. This is true not only for healthy patients, but also for patients with mitral valve prolapse (MVP). The significance of reflection and symbolical mediation in the system of cultural-active paradigm and emotion regulation has been determined. It has been proved that emotion regulation among patients with MVP differs from that
of healthy people, highlighted by a very strong conflict of goal-achieving and fail-avoiding motives, lack of personal reflection and distortion of symbolical mediation, and very limited emotion-regulative resources. It has been shown that patients with MVP differ from the control group, suffering from far more strong emotional stress. It distributes an overall negative impact, reducing the ability to use emotion-regulating resource in emotionally meaningful situations effectively
Восприятие COVID-19 населением России в условиях пандемии 2020 года
No full textС целью изучения восприятия пандемии COVID-19 и ее связи с эмоциональным состоянием населения было проведено онлайн-исследование с 27 апреля по 27 мая 2020 года во всех регионах России. В исследовании приняли участие 1192 человека, из них 981 женщина (82%) и 211 мужчин (18%) в возрасте от 18 до 81 года (М=36,5; SD=11,0). Методический комплекс состоял из социально-демографического опросника, шкалы реактивной тревожности Спилбергера, русскоязычной версии Шкалы воспринимаемого стресса-10» (Cohen, Kamarck, Mermelstein, 1983; Абабков и др., 2016), а также модифицированной специально для данного исследования русскоязычной версии краткого опросника восприятия болезни (Broadbent, et al., 2006; Ялтонский и др., 2017). Были найдены значимые различия по переживанию стресса, тревоги и восприятию пандемии в зависимости от пола, в то время как уровень тревоги и стресса оказался связанным с уровнем дохода. Было выявлено, что люди, полагающие, что угроза коронавируса «сильно преувеличена», характеризуются бóльшим спокойствием, ощущают понимание пандемии и думают о том, что она не нуждается в усилиях по контролю. Однако респонденты, имеющие родственников, переболевших COVID-19, воспринимают пандемию как более угрожающую, менее понятную и требующую большего контроля. Выявлено, что оценка угрозы от пандемии играет опосредующую роль между страхом неизвестной болезни и возможностью ее контроля. Обсуждается вероятность культуральных различий в восприятии пандемии и ее контроля, а также формулируется возможность применения культурно-исторической методологии и концепции «Внутренняя картина болезни» для оценки представлений о пандемии COVID-19, существующих в обществе

No full textNonclassical and Postnonclassical epistemology in Lev Vygotsky’s cultural-historical approach to clinical psychology
No full textThe work presents historiographic and theoretical methodological study of establishment of fundamental theses of L.S. Vygotsky’s cultural-historical concept within the field of clinical psychology.We prove potency in application of contemporary philosophical concepts, which help distinguish between the types of scientific rationality (classical, nonclassical, and postnonclassical), for scientific reflection over the development of psychology and designation of paradigmatic status of cultural-historic concept suggested by L.S. Vygotsky and Vygotsky-Luria syndrome approach at the contemporary stage of science.Present study of scientific works of L.S. Vygotsky and his followers demonstrated that fundamentals of cultural-historic conception suggested by L.S. Vygotsky and further developed in methodology of Vygotsky-Luria syndrome approach, these fundamentals presented the origins of not only non-classical, but as well post-nonclassical model of scientific rationality. They are characterized by post-nonclassical understanding of the object and method of psychological study and post-nonclassical mode of thinking of the scientists.As it was showed, in works of L.S. Vygotsky there formulated general methodological requirements to organization of mental studies, which, on the whole, go in tune with the requirements introduced for study of complex self-developing systems. There were produced arguments to prove that the concept of Vygotsky-Luria syndrome approach describes mental syndromes as dynamic structures, which display the features of self-organization, self-determination and adaptive rationality. Hence, they can be regarded as open self-developing systems.We assume and verify the hypothesis that the syndrome analysis, due to the features of post-nonclassic modeling of scientific rationality it reveals, may be regarded as theoretically productive methodological approach at the modern stage of science
H.G. Wells In The Reception of E.I. Zamyatin
No full textThe article deals with the peculiarities of E.I. Zamyatin's perception of H. Wells' work. Zamyatin considered H. G. Wells as his creative predecessor, who had a great influence on the formation of the fantastic novel as a genre combining acute plot with social analysis of the consequences of scientific and technical development. The author of the novel ‘We’ notes the anti-utopianism of many of H.G. Wells' novels and connects it with the opposition “static utopia - dynamism of anti-utopia”. Zamyatin's attitude to the realistic work of Wells is more restrained. Wells is perceived by Zamyatin as a deeply national writer, aware of his national identity, rooted in the Dickensian tradition and reflecting in his work the peculiarities of the English mentality. The created myth of the English writer becomes at the same time a projection of Zamyatin's own aesthetic programme of the early 1920s, developed in other articles and lectures of the writer of this period

No full textThe primary target of TEEAL in Ahmadu Bello University(ABU) is the researcher at the
faculty of Agriculture and the institute for Agriculture research. After years of its
introduction, an evaluation of its impact has become necessary. Thus five research
questions were drawn for that purpose. They are:
(1), Are you aware of the TEEAL cd Rom database in this institution?
(2), Is TEEAL solution to the problem of qualitative research in your field?
(3), Has TEEAL cd Rom database enabled you access to world’s scholarly publishing?
(4), What impact has the full text of TEEAL made on your research work?
(5), Is TEEAL cd Rom database user friendly?
(6), What is your assessment of TEEAL?
