The Concept of Set In Soviet Psychology in the Light of Research By The Georgian Psychological School

I. Scientific psychology in Georgia originated and developed only after the establishment of Soviet power (1921). The history of Georgian scientific psychology is the history of psychology in Georgia in the Soviet period.     

Challenges in Translational Research: The Views of Addiction Scientists

Objectives

To explore scientists'' perspectives on the challenges and pressures of translating research findings into clinical practice and public health policy.

Methods

We conducted semi-structured interviews with a purposive sample of 20 leading scientists engaged in genetic research on addiction. We asked participants for their views on how their own research translates, how genetic research addresses addiction as a public health problem and how it may affect the public''s view of addiction.

Results

Most scientists described a direct translational route for their research, positing that their research will have significant societal benefits, leading to advances in treatment and novel prevention strategies. However, scientists also pointed to the inherent pressures they feel to quickly translate their research findings into actual clinical or public health use. They stressed the importance of allowing the scientific process to play out, voicing ambivalence about the recent push to speed translation.

Conclusions

High expectations have been raised that biomedical science will lead to new prevention and treatment modalities, exerting pressure on scientists. Our data suggest that scientists feel caught in the push for immediate applications. This overemphasis on rapid translation can lead to technologies and applications being rushed into use without critical evaluation of ethical, policy, and social implications, and without balancing their value compared to public health policies and interventions currently in place.     

Psychophysiological Mechanisms of Writing Difficulties in Schoolchildren

The temporal and qualitative organization of writing movements was studied in six- to seven-year-old and nine- to ten-year-old right-handed and left-handed children with underdeveloped visuomotor coordination. The characteristic features of the temporal and qualitative organization of these movements at different stages of motor skill formation were found. Regarding the temporal structure of the series of writing movements, a pause was observed between individual movements in the series of motor task formation. The duration of this pause may serve as a criterion of the degree and efficiency of writing skill formation. The disturbance of the temporal structure of movements during the formation of handwriting speed at the initial stages of learning deteriorated the temporal organization of movements, drastically decreased the quality, and impeded the formation of the skill. The destructive processes were more pronounced in the case of accelerated handwriting in left-handed children and especially in children with underdeveloped visuomotor coordination.     

At the Crossroads of Human Rights and Anthropology: Toward a Critically Engaged Activist Research

In this article, I consider anthropology's engagement with human rights today. Through the lens of my experience in a case brought before the International Labor Organization by a community in Chiapas, Mexico, I consider the ethical, practical, and epistemological questions that arise in research defined by rights activism. I argue that the critical engagement brought about by activist research is both necessary and productive. Such research can contribute to transforming the discipline by addressing the politics of knowledge production and working to decolonize our research process. Rather than seeking to avoid or resolve the tensions inherent in anthropological research on human rights, activist research draws them to the fore, making them a productive part of the process. Finally, activist research allows us to merge cultural critique with political action to produce knowledge that is empirically grounded, theoretically valuable, and ethically viable.     

四川省蝶类物种组成及名录

通过整理鉴定四川大学自然博物馆馆藏的100多年间采自四川省的1万余号蝶类标本,最早的四川蝶类标本(宽带凤蝶西部亚种Papilio nephelus chaon)采于1910年,结合文献和专著资料,参考《中国蝶类志》的分类系统,得到四川省蝶类644种,隶属于12科240属。其中,蛱蝶科Nymphalidae 162种、弄蝶科Hesperiidae 125种、眼蝶科Satyridae 114种、灰蝶科Lycaenidae 100种、粉蝶科Pieridae 59种、凤蝶科Papilionidae 45种、蚬蝶科Riodinidae 14种、绢蝶科Parnassiidae 11种、斑蝶科Danaidae 8种、环蝶科Amathusiidae 4种、喙蝶科Libytheidae 1种、珍蝶科Acraeidae 1种。四川省蝶类物种组成丰富,其中,蛱蝶科、弄蝶科、眼蝶科和灰蝶科物种数均超过或达到100种。建议在全省范围内选择不同生境建立长期监测点,持续监测蝶类物种多样性分布及变化情况,这对于保护全省生态环境和维持生物多样性都是至关重要的。建议尽快开展相关研究,包括四川省蝶类的经典分类学、系统发育及...     

Physical Development and Condition of Psychophysiological Functions in Junior Schoolchildren

The authors studied the correlation between the physical development level and condition of psychophysiological functions in junior schoolchildren. They 104 examined pupils (53 girls and 51 boys) of the fourth form of a secondary school between the ages of nine and ten over the school year. To evaluate the children's physical development, the authors measured the subjects' anthropometric and functional indices. Their results show that the physical development level correlates with the condition of psychophysiological functions.
