The relevance to the investigation stems from the fact that during military operations in Ukraine there are psychological complications both among servicemen and the population. The most common type of psychological complications is fear as one of the most mysterious and contradictory emotions. Formed in the process of evolution as a signal and warning human reaction to danger, fear often misinforms people about the extent of external danger. Fear as a psychological complication is a powerful catalyst of human physical, spiritual strength and energy and, at the same time, it can paralyze his ability to withstand danger. It is reflected in the brain, the brain organ of the central nervous system, which regulates all the most important changes in the human body. In case of stress, it is the brain structures that react first and trigger a response, the purpose of which is adaptation and survival in difficult conditions. The brain detects a threat, recognizes the cause of psychological or physical stress. In response to the influence of a stressor protective mechanisms are triggered, changing the work of the nervous and endocrine systems. The article reveals the concept of horror and its psychotraumatic effect; the most important functions of fear as a psychological complication are defined; the neurobiological basis of stress as a psychological complication during war is investigated.

The article presents the results of research on the empathy of policemen, rescuers, doctors and psychologists, as the best representatives among helpers. It also describes the qualitative and quantitative changes in the levels of empathy among these specialists after the implementation of a comprehensive socio-psychological program. The goal is the approval of a complex socio-psychological program for the formation of professional empathy among specialists in helping professions, in particular, police officers, rescuers, doctors and psychologists. To conduct the research, the following methods were used: psychodiagnostic technique “Diagnostics of the empathic abilities level” by V. Boiko, content analysis, and Wilcoxon t-criteria to determine statistically significant shifts. The results. On the basis of the conducted research, it was established that empathy undergoes positive changes under the influence of the proposed comprehensive social-psychological program. As we can see the t-Wilcoxon results showed statistically significant shifts at the p<0.01 and p<0.001 levels. Positive changes occurred among representatives of all studied professions, however, the highest rates of change were found among psychologists and police officers. Conclusions. Theoretical analysis shows that empathy is mostly considered as an emotional component of the personality, which often appears in a negative way for specialists of some professions. However, the empathy of rescuers, police officers, doctors and psychologists manifests itself through a behavioral component and contributes to the emergence of empathic actions. Therefore, the positive results of the implementation of a complex socio-psychological program allow us to insist on the effectiveness and feasibility of its application for other specialists in the field of helping professions.

This study maps the challenges public governance faces in its mission to ensure a high level of societal well-being in European countries due to complex and multidimensional analysis, both on scientific and economic levels: bibliometric analysis, vector quantisation mapping, and clustering analysis of countries. The proposed research advocates considering relevant descriptors of the two phenomena, namely the six dimensions of public governance and the composite quality of life index, to analyse their interdependence by 2020, the year for which official statistics reveal data. Our research proposes a classification of the European Union Member States from the perspective of the progress made at the governmental decision-making level for the multidimensional approach to quality of life to identify the models of good practice. The methodological support was offered by cluster analysis and a vector quantisation method, namely K-means. KNIME software has allowed us to connect to various data sources visually. Clustering of European countries has revealed several disparities thus, Denmark and Finland (which are countries with a high level of quality of life) are examples of good practices, while countries such as Romania and Bulgaria are facing difficulties in significantly improving their quality of life due to the deficiencies of the governing act. Finally, the research highlights the channels through which public governance can substantially contribute to societal well-being, keeping in mind the relatively low importance of welfare given to formal aspects of democratic representation compared to the extent of quality governance.

The article shows the peculiarities of personal deprivation as a neuropsychological factor of emigration in the context of frustration. Persons participating in emigration focus on their future life, mainly on economic and social life. Individual thoughts about one's future life, a warning about the unknown, means about one's future work, well-being, etc. Such a volume of actions causes disappointment, as well as a neuropsychological impulse of anxiety for the future life of a person. The study is aimed at determining the impact of migration intentions on the psychological state of the individual, in particular, the determination of frustration and neuropsychological factors. The learning principle is that frustration is a neuropsychological marker of individuals facing new challenges, especially during migration. Researched military tests are studied in a study of economic commitment as a factor in the frustration of individuals who plan to migrate. The research course uses the method of abstraction, the descriptive-research method, the method of analysis and synthesis. The method of generalization and systematization was used to determine the research results. The results of the work are the basis for the formation of the structure that the factor of economic destruction in this case is personal frustration and not all aspects of the issue needing further research are exhausted.

Threshold-based methods are prevalent across numerous domains, with specific relevance to image binarization, which traditionally employs global and local threshold algorithms. This paper presents a novel approach to image binarization, where the capacity of neural networks is utilized not just for determining optimal thresholds, but also for combining multiple global thresholds sourced from existing binarization techniques. The primary objective of our method is to develop a robust binarization strategy capable of managing a wide array of image conditions. By integrating the strengths of various thresholding techniques, our approach aims to establish a significant connection between traditional thresholding methods and those underpinned by deep learning.

The primary objective of this research manuscript is to design, develop, and evaluate an artificial neural network architecture that is capable of emulating and predicting the dynamic interaction patterns manifested during the encounter between two distinct entities. This endeavor is primarily centered around computational learning and understanding of the associated physical impulses that emerge when these objects engage in contact, elucidating the complex physical interplays therein. This process incorporates the strategic use of an extant physics engine to generate the requisite training datasets, thereby providing a robust and comprehensive foundation for neural network training and subsequent performance evaluation. In order to scrutinize and substantiate the effectiveness of the proposed artificial neural network model, this investigation also embarks on a rigorous comparative analysis. The principal focus of this comparison is to juxtapose the results rendered by the trained neural network vis-a-vis those produced by the original physics engine. The goal here is to gauge the precision, reliability, and practicality of the trained model in accurately predicting the physical impulses, thereby demonstrating its potential to stand as a feasible alternative to the traditional physics engine. Despite the initial success of this endeavor, it is worth noting that the proposed neural network system managed to achieve a range of prediction rates, oscillating between 60% and 91%, contingent upon the specific test scenario. While these preliminary results are promising, they elucidate the necessity for further optimization and refinement to bolster the model's performance and prediction accuracy.

Gamification has recently been touted as an effective user engagement method with the ability to enhance online education. Even though there has been more research on gamification in recent decades, however, there is still no taxonomy of its concrete impacts. The aim of this study was to fill this gap by identifying the effects that gamification has on both students and teachers engagement in online learning. This study combined a systematic literature review methodology and PRISMA processes to analyze high-quality articles on gamification in education from the last ten years (2012-2022) as extracted from three databases like Scopus, ScienceDirect, and Web of Science. The evaluation and analysis of the 40 articles included in the study summarized and categorized the benefits that the deployment of gamification offered to student engagement, motivation, creativity, and overall performance as well as to teachers as motivation, engagement, or feedback and evaluation. The result of the systematic literature review found that the educational levels that frequently incorporate gaming into their curricula are higher education, but it also shed light on the challenges that come with implementing gamification in the classroom. We hope the study’s findings assist educators and students in using gamification as a successful intervention technique by providing them with pertinent information that can influence outcomes and knowledge of the educational content and establish the right conditions for an effective learning process.
游戏化最近被吹捧为一种有效的用户参与方法，能够增强在线教育。尽管近几十年来有更多关于游戏化的研究，但仍然没有对其具体影响进行分类。本研究的目的是通过确定游戏化对学生和教师参与在线学习的影响来填补这一空白。本研究结合了系统文献综述方法和PRISMA流程，分析了过去十年(2012-2022)关于教育游戏化的高质量文章，这些文章提取自Scopus、ScienceDirect和Web of Science等三个数据库。对研究中包含的40篇文章的评估和分析总结并分类了部署游戏化对学生参与、动机、创造力和整体表现以及教师的动机、参与或反馈和评估所带来的好处。系统文献回顾的结果发现，经常将游戏纳入其课程的教育水平是高等教育，但它也揭示了在课堂上实施游戏化所带来的挑战。我们希望这项研究的发现能够帮助教育工作者和学生将游戏化作为一种成功的干预技术，为他们提供相关的信息，这些信息可以影响教育内容的结果和知识，并为有效的学习过程建立合适的条件。

The general idea regarding the relations between the contemporary marital partners describes the marital relations through a fair and modern attitude. Thus, the idea of marital modernity seems already certain and well assimilated in most marital environments. However, the national statistical data do not validate the same balance in terms of marital role equity, the relationships between partners or in terms of the distribution of power within the couple. The culture in which the young people have grown has a greater influence upon them than the glitter of the new values of equity and marital balance. In the 2000 Gender Barometer, 63% of the respondents believed it was a woman's duty to take care of the household chores, while in 2018, their share was 58%. We can therefore speak of a modernity of mentalities, but a very slow one, as in almost 2 decades, the general evolution in terms of role equity is only 5% and regarding the superior ability of the man to lead the family, the indicators note an evolution of 9.8%. (Grünberg, 2019). The contemporaneity surprises the young couple at the intersection between the traditional system and the modern system or at the intersection between the marital modernity and the postmodernity; in both situations, the strategy of managing the solidarity and the access to power is a priority. The study starts from the premise of the fact that the new valences of the marital modernity managed to produce obvious changes in the declared behavior rather than in the actually played behavior.

The research examines the phenomenon of creative programming as an example of the interaction between art and technology. The historical prerequisites for its emergence and various tools for its implementation are analysed. Systematization and analysis of existing platforms and computer languages for creative programming made it possible to classify them chronologically, according to principles of work, and technical characteristics. The main ways of using creative programming in different periods were explored in analysing contemporary art projects that used creative programming. Thus, The Algobabez duo used real-time programming with SuperCollider software at their performances. The capabilities of MAX/MSP made it possible to implement the performer-computer interaction in Inter-sax-tive by composer Nicolas Scherzinger. In the interactive project Messa di Voce, the sound is transformed with the help of the Openframeworks software into graphics, which affects the performers. In other cases, the software was written specifically for an art project. In the Abraham project, artist and programmer Gene Kogan tries to create an autonomous artificial artist who has his own will and can create authentic visual images. As part of the multidisciplinary interactive project "Hakanaï", we can see how code written specifically for the project, allows performer to interact with a visual projection (mapping) that, in turn, interacts with the performer’s moves. We prove that creative programming has become a promising, independent tool of creativity within modern interdisciplinary artistic practices, borders of which continue to expand thanks to the open code approach and the involvement of a community of like-minded people.
该研究考察了创造性编程现象，作为艺术与技术之间相互作用的一个例子。分析了其产生的历史前提和实施的各种工具。对现有的创造性编程平台和计算机语言进行系统化和分析，可以根据工作原理和技术特点按时间顺序对它们进行分类。通过对当代艺术项目创造性规划的分析，探讨了不同时期创造性规划的主要运用方式。因此，Algobabez二人组在他们的表演中使用了SuperCollider软件的实时编程。MAX/MSP的功能使作曲家Nicolas Scherzinger在Inter-sax-tive中实现表演者与计算机的交互成为可能。在互动项目Messa di voice中，声音在Openframeworks软件的帮助下转化为图形，从而影响表演者。在其他情况下，软件是专门为艺术项目编写的。在亚伯拉罕项目中，艺术家和程序员吉恩·科根试图创造一个自主的人工艺术家，他有自己的意志，可以创造真实的视觉图像。作为多学科交互项目“Hakanaï”的一部分，我们可以看到专门为该项目编写的代码如何允许表演者与视觉投影(映射)交互，而视觉投影(映射)反过来又与表演者的动作交互。我们证明，创造性编程已经成为现代跨学科艺术实践中一个有前途的、独立的创造力工具，由于开放代码方法和志同道合的社区的参与，其边界继续扩大。

We prove that creative programming has become a promising, independent tool of creativity within modern interdisciplinary artistic practices, borders of which continue to expand thanks to the open code approach and the involvement of a community of like-minded people.","PeriodicalId":44081,"journal":{"name":"BRAIN-Broad Research in Artificial Intelligence and Neuroscience","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2023-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80452102","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Introduction: Knee Osteoarthritis (KOA) is characterized by wear, tear, and it's a slowly progressive loss of cartilage, that becomes finally disabling. KOA is one of the most analyzed diseases by many medical specialties such as rheumatology, orthopedics, rehabilitation medicine, and physiotherapy. Major symptoms of KOA such as pain, dysfunction, and chronic low-grade inflammation will decrease the quality of life and eventually lead to locomotor disability. Since there are no effective ways to limit KOA progression, involvement of the endocannabinoid system (ECS) may be a non-pharmacological therapeutic alternative in the management of this disease. This study debate aspects of ways to modulate the ECS in KOA, using physiotherapeutic (PT) means such as TENS electroanalgesia, LASER biostimulation, and physical exercises with analgesic effects. Materials and Methods: In the study, we included 82 sources, with the following keywords in the title: knee osteoarthritis, cannabidiol, endocannabinoid, inflammatory pain, analgesia, neuropathic pain, physiotherapy, electrotherapy, and LASER. To perform this review, we searched for the most relevant articles in the field of medicine and physiotherapy in 7 international databases applying inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results: The application of TENS currents in certain doses and frequencies together with LASER biostimulation stimulates the production of endocannabinoids thus controlling pain, and stimulating the ECS. Physical exercise has an antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory role and stimulates the release of endogenous opioids. Conclusions: The results obtained from this meta-analysis may contribute to paradigm shifts in clinical practice related to the treatment of pain by PT. TENS, LASER, and physical exercise are effective clinical tool that limits chronic inflammation and pain by involving the ECS. More studies are needed to understand endocannabinoid system involvements in KOA, and that will inspire medical doctors and physiotherapists to improve long-term treatment strategies.
