Vitamin B6 deficiency on the background of taking COCs, the mechanism of emotional dysfunction in the treatment of PCOS
Abstract
combined oral contraceptives (COCs) play an important role in the treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome by correcting androgenism, normalizing the menstrual cycle, and providing contraception. However, their use is associated with a number of metabolic changes, such as weight gain, fluid retention, the development of hypertension and an increased risk of coagulation. One of the lesser-known side effects is a decrease in the emotional background, up to the development of subdepressive and depressive states. There is a point of view that vitamin B6 deficiency plays an important role in the genesis of the development of psychoemotional disorders. The purpose of our study was to study the role of vitamin B6 deficiency that occurs against the background of taking COCs on the genesis of emotional disorders in patients of early reproductive age with polycystic ovary syndrome.

Evaluation of groups of drugs for pregnant women with bacterial vaginosis
Abstract
bacterial vaginosis is currently one of the most common pathologies in pregnant women. It is during this period that the vaginal microflora undergoes a characteristic number of changes, which makes it the most vulnerable to opportunistic and pathogenic microorganisms. It became obvious that dysbiosis increases the risk of intrauterine infection of the fetus. This is a leading cause of early miscarriage, perinatal morbidity and mortality. In addition, it is known that the standard groups of drugs used in medical practice have certain harm to the fetus due to their high bioavailability and their ability to penetrate placental barriers quickly and well. Therefore, it is very important to choose an effective treatment strategy that simultaneously protects the woman's body from foreign bacteria, but does not harm the organogenesis of the fetus, especially in the first trimester of pregnancy. The treatment of pregnant women occupies a special niche in pharmacology. Therefore, we want to sanctify and select the most effective drugs with the least extensive side effects and teratogenic effects. This article will provide a comparative description of the drugs and suggest the most gentle and effective treatment tactics.

Reproductive health of men in families with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome
Abstract
hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome is a hereditary condition. The cause of this syndrome are mutations in the BRCA1/2 genes. The frequency of these mutations is the same in men and women. The purpose of this study: to assess the reproductive health of men in families with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome. The study included first-degree relatives of 172 patients with verified ovarian cancer stages I–II. Methods. Identification of mutations in the BRCA 1/2 genes was carried out by the molecular genetic analysis complex "Oncogenetics BRCA" (OOO NPF "Litech", Moscow, Russia). Results. The distribution of BRCA1/2 mutations approximately corresponds to autosomal dominant inheritance. Among the sons and brothers of carriers of BRCA1/2 mutations, 97 carriers and 115 non-carriers were identified. In male relatives of BRCA1/2 mutation carriers, BRCA1 mutations predominate, accounting for 78% of all detected mutations, with the 185delAG mutation accounting for 35.05% of all registered mutations. Carriers of the 185delAG and 6174deIT mutations have high testosterone levels. With the 5382insC, Cys61Gly and 185delAG mutations, the luteinizing hormone level is low. Carriers of the 185delAG mutation have low luteinizing hormone levels, and in carriers of the 5382insC and Cys61Gly mutations, low luteinizing hormone levels are accompanied by low testosterone levels. In males carrying BRCA1\2 mutations, changes in spermatogenesis are observed, including azoospermia – with mutations 5382insC and 6174deIT, a high level of sperm agglutination is observed. The data obtained allow us to expand our understanding of the genetic regulation of spermatogenesis.

The role of electroencephalography in the medical examination of the adult population
Abstract
electroencephalography (EEG), a well-known method for diagnosing the electrical activity of the brain, was originally used solely to diagnose epilepsy. In modern conditions, due to the addition of various computer algorithms for analyzing the obtained data, the diagnostic breadth of the method has increased significantly. The EEG method is safe and has no effect on the body. Existing contraindications limit some aspects of registration, for example, rhythmic photostimulation is not recommended for acute eye damage or deep breathing is prohibited for aortic aneurysm, but such restrictions do not prohibit the method as such. In extreme cases, an EEG can always be performed in a screening version, only in the form of recording background activity. The equipment for its implementation is quite budgetary. What other conditions can be diagnosed using this method? Is it appropriate to use it during dispensary preventive "quick" checkups? We share our experience of twenty years of using EEG in the outpatient admission of a Neuropsychiatric dispensary both as part of the examination of patients and as part of preventive examinations.

The influence of the deficit of events in the life of schoolchildren on their involvement in situations dangerous to life, health and psychological comfort
Abstract
at all times and at different ages, schoolchildren have found themselves in situations involving risks to life and health. Is it possible to identify a factor influencing the manifestation of danger in a student’s life? This article puts forward the assumption that the degree of involvement in dangerous situations depends on the life conditions of the student; the more eventful his life is, the fewer unpleasant situations happen to such a child. If external conditions do not allow the student to fully realize the potential, then it is manifested in involvement in danger, regardless of the degree and nature of such a life-threatening, physical and psychological state of the individual. A survey was conducted, based on which conclusions were drawn about the common features of schoolchildren or the similarity of living conditions, according to which schoolchildren, regardless of the danger situation itself, be it suicidal behavior, sexual assault, cyberbullying, etc., become victims of certain negative events. Ways to solve this problem are proposed.

The impact of childhood trauma in relationship with the phenomenon of attachment: neurobiological patterns
Abstract
recently, there have been many studies devoted to the behavioral and neurobiological consequences of exposure to adverse factors in early childhood. An analysis of existing scientific works suggests that adverse experiences in early childhood, especially during the sensitive period of brain development, lead to increased sensitivity to the effects of stress in later ages and increase a person’s vulnerability to mental disorders. The focus of this article is a review of the current literature on childhood trauma and stress in the context of attachment to determine the neurobiological mechanisms and consequences for a child’s development. The work uses a theoretical and analytical research method, including a review and systematization of existing scientific data on the neurobiological patterns of the influence of childhood trauma on human behavior and health throughout life. The results allow us to assert the presence of the influence of early trauma on a child’s behavior and mental health in later periods. The authors note that the consequences of trauma may be externally imperceptible at first, but are activated under the influence of stressful events later. The mechanism of this influence is associated with changes in the morphology and functioning of various parts of the brain. The consequences of brain changes may be: the phenomenon of social anhedonia, the development of mental illnesses, disruption of social skills, difficulties in building attachment relationships.

Assessment and self-assessment of personal qualities necessary for a doctor by students of a medical university
Abstract
the article presents the results of a comparative assessment of the personality characteristics of a doctor by students of Kemerovo Medical University. This assessment was carried out twice: the first time to build an ideal model of a doctor from the qualities we proposed, the second time to find out if each student's self-assessment corresponded to this model. Research methods: a survey of students based on a questionnaire developed by the authors with provided answer options, a correlation analysis of the survey results, on the basis of which we investigated the correspondence of students' self-esteem to the ideal model of a doctor. We have proposed a model of an ideal doctor, consisting of 24 personality traits. We consider the correlation coefficient between the respondent's assessment of the importance of the qualities of the ideal model and the self-assessment of these qualities as a characteristic of psychological readiness for the profession of a doctor. Students consider intellectual qualities to be the most important for a doctor in comparison with strong-willed, moral and communicative ones. When self-evaluating the ideal model of a doctor, students recognize the lack of their own intellectual and volitional qualities. The majority (90%) of first-year students at Kemerovo Medical University highly rate their psychological readiness to become a doctor. Our proposed assessment methodology and questionnaire can be used to assess applicants' readiness for the medical profession.

Historical aspects and current views on the alternativeness and relevance of incentives
Abstract
the purpose of the study is to examine historical aspects and current views on the alternativeness and relevance of stimuli. The objective of the study is to improve the polygraph technique. The materials of the article will help to avoid excessive confidence in American methods and to rethink the meaning of the control question. The article examines the concept of a control question, since the aspects of alternativeness and relevance have not been fully studied. These properties are important for the correct recognition of lies and require further study. The concepts of "relevant stimulus" and "stimulus relevance" are different: the first determines the type of question, and the second is one of the main properties of polygraph stimuli.

Features of psychological well-being of students of higher educational institutions
Abstract
the article is devoted to the study of the psychological well-being of students. The aim of the work was to identify and compare indicators of psychological well-being on three levels among students of 3-5 courses of study. The results showed that the majority of students demonstrate an average level of psychological well-being, characterized by the availability of resources for further development, but requiring attention. Personal growth and openness to new experiences are the strengths of students in all courses. The lowest indicators were recorded on the scale of "positive relationships", which indicates difficulties in this area. In particular, 3rd year students have difficulties in building positive relationships, and 5th year students have a worsening problem, along with a decrease in self-acceptance. 4th year students experience the greatest difficulties in areas related to autonomy and environmental management.

Communication training as an effective technology for enhancing the adaptation level of first-year students in university
Abstract
this article explores the potential of communicative training as a means to enhance first-year students adaptation to university learning conditions. The article focuses on the successful and smooth adaptation of first-year students during the early stages of their studies. It examines the problems faced by freshmen – newcomers who often experience disadaptation, stress, and increased anxiety – as well as the causes of these issues. The authors analyze the psychological factors that facilitate successful adaptation to both the academic studies and university life. The authors also examined effective technologies and methods for reducing adaptation time and facilitating this process. In their view, active learning methods (ALM) play a significant role in the development, improvement, and automation of first-year students' communicative skills and abilities. In particular, they emphasize the importance of the implementation and active integration of communicative training into the educational process. Based on their work at the Federal State Budgetary Education Institution of Higher Education “MSTU,” the authors describe their training exercises, which help participants recognize their individual potential, unique characteristics, and resources. These exercises also encourage students to be mindful of the emotional experiences and the interests of those they communicate with. Participants in the training sessions share what concerns them “here and now,” discussing what is happening to them in the group at the moment. The article also includes elements of training exercises as recommendations for university instructors. These recommendations aim to reduce disadaptation in the learning process and, in the long term, enhance the learning experience and academic performance of university students.

The phenomenon of readiness for activity in modern psychology
Abstract
the article presents a theoretical review of scientific literature on the subject of defining the phenomenon of readiness for activity. The main approaches to this phenomenon are considered, different understandings and characteristics of readiness for activity, which offer certain forms and directions, are defined. Readiness plays an important role in psychological research, determining the ability of an individual to effectively cope with a variety of tasks. Readiness levels can vary depending on age, experience, and other individual characteristics. Understanding the factors affecting readiness allows us to develop strategies to improve it, which is especially relevant in educational, professional and social spheres. The following elements were used as methodological bases in organizing the research: the phenomenon of readiness, components of readiness, historical context and development of the concept of readiness. Psychological aspects of readiness for activity, mechanisms of readiness formation, the influence of motivation and attitude on the formation of readiness phenomenon were studied. Personal characteristics of readiness, which play a key role in the formation of individual's readiness for activity, are studied. They are understood as stable traits and qualities that determine human behavior in various situations. These aspects include self-esteem, self-confidence, motivation and personal responsibility, which form the basis for perceiving and responding to challenges. This in turn determines the level of readiness to perform tasks. The study of the phenomenon of readiness for activity requires the use of a variety of methods to cover both quantitative and qualitative aspects of this complex phenomenon. Readiness research methods can be classified into three main categories: quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods. Each of these categories has its own advantages and limitations, making their use complementary. This paper reviews the theoretical analysis of existing literature.

Spirituality as a resource of personal consciousness self-regulation in situations of uncertainty
Abstract
this article is based on the concept of self-regulation resources, which is found in interdisciplinary studies and has many interpretations. The article uses the following definition as a working one: self-regulation resources of an individual's life activity are the ability to extract existing unused specific opportunities for creatively solving life problems and maintaining well-being. Correct use of various self-regulation resources allows normalizing the state of a person's consciousness and his emotional-volitional sphere, promoting the development and self-development of the individual. In situations of uncertainty, such resources acquire special significance, since stress factors weaken self-control and reduce the psychological stability of the individual. The deepest resources of self-regulation of the individual are found in the area of sacred spiritual and moral values, which is demonstrated by the author using the material of sports spirituality. Both the pragmatic faith of athletes and their religious faith have a soteriological focus, which has a beneficial effect on their use of self-regulation resources.

Values and life meaning orientations of future teachers involved in volunteer activities
Abstract
the article examines the features of life values of student volunteers studying in the direction of "Pedagogical education". The "value vacuum" that developed in our country in the post-perestroika decades led to the problem of professional identification, which was especially acute in the training of teaching staff. In the work, much attention is paid to the life-meaning guidelines of student teachers as one of the most important motivators of their further professional identity and professional development. An attempt was made to compare the life guidelines of student volunteers and students who are not involved in volunteer activities. It is noted that the value-semantic attitude to the future profession of teachers should be formed at the initial stage of their professional development. It is determined that in modern society, volunteer activity plays an important role not only in solving serious problems of the state, but can also be a tool for the personal and professional development of future teachers.

Contemplative practices in counseling: the impact of loving-kindness meditation on the therapeutic alliance
Abstract
this article examines the use of contemplative practices by counselors to enhance nonspecific therapeutic factors. Although mindfulness-based interventions have been extensively studied, a large portion of contemplative practices remain understudied, especially in the context of their impact on the effectiveness of counseling practice. We present the results of a study that evaluated the effects of loving kindness meditation performed by counselors prior to a counseling session on alliance quality and session effectiveness. The sample included 12 counselor-client dyads and 44 sessions, half of which counselors prepared for with meditation. While in the past the use of meditation to prepare for sessions has been studied on trainee counselors, our experiment involved practitioners with 3 years or more of experience. For the first time, loving kindness meditation (“metta”) was studied as a pre-session exercise. Therapeutic alliance was higher in sessions for which counselors prepared for by doing a short meditation practice. The counselors also noted that that they experienced more enjoyment and less effort and emptiness in the sessions before which they meditated. Thus, meditation can be seen as an effective tool for improving the quality of psychological counseling by enhancing key nonspecific factors of the therapeutic process.

Psychological support as a key element in the rehabilitation of military personnel after combat operations
Abstract
this article examines the specific features of psychological support for military personnel after combat operations. The current reality is characterized by increasing contradictions and tension in interactions between countries, and the presence of military conflicts, the special military operation regime, and the activation of terrorist organizations exacerbate the military-political situation. These circumstances influence the demands placed on military personnel, their physical and mental state, and their ability to make sound decisions. The level of moral, political, and psychological well-being of military personnel affects their readiness for combat. In modern conflicts, high-quality psychological training and effective methods of support and rehabilitation are becoming critically important. Psychological support covers a wide range of aspects – from creating a safe and supportive environment to actively working with emotional and behavioral reactions, therefore, a more holistic and systematic approach is needed, taking into account both the individual characteristics of each serviceman and group dynamics.

Factor analysis of the relationship between emotional intelligence and anxiety in adolescents
Abstract
the article analyzes the relationship between emotional intelligence and anxiety in adolescents, taking into account gender differences. 144 8th grade students participated in the study. Of these, 69 are boys and 75 are girls. The Nicholas Hall test was used to determine the level of emotional intelligence of adolescents. The identification of school, interpersonal and self-esteem anxiety in students was checked using the methodology "Anxiety scale" by R.S. Kondash. The B. Phillips test allowed us to assess the manifestation of anxiety associated with different experiences at school. The factor analysis of the psycho diagnostic results obtained with using the correlation coefficients matrix rotation by the verimax normalized method is carried out. It is shown that there are gender differences in the interrelationships of indicators of emotional intelligence and anxiety in boys and girls, which is reflected in the final percentage contribution to the overall result and to the factor loads. For example, it was revealed that emotion management and high self-motivation in the activities of boys in the studied group occur with a decrease in social stress. For girls, the higher the emotional awareness of the environment, the lower the indicators of fear of a knowledge-testing situation and experiencing social stress.

Conscious activity of the psychological readiness of the subject
Abstract
the author analyzes the origin and residence of conscious activity in the process of forming a person's psychological readiness to solve problems. This triggers the process of an active state of consciousness. Consciousness becomes a target form of instrumental approximation of material reality to the image of a subjective "picture of the world", an instrument of individual and collective adaptation of the effective nature of the subject. The idea will depend not only on common sense, but also on the quality of thinking and the power of consciousness. The "proactive nature" provides the effect of energy conservation through the search-orientation reflex. Reason – combines the options for reflecting the environment in a complex "picture of the world" through reasonableness, reasonableness and rationality. Awareness of the value of a goal is determined by motivation, and the problem of goal setting turns into a conflict of motives. To decide something is to choose between something opposite. Determination in the activity world forms the psychological readiness of the subject to overcome the difficulties that have arisen. P.Ya. Galperin's concept is responsible for the process of consolidating information in the subject of activity and turning it into a state of readiness. A person creates an activity reflected in socially significant collective work.

Gender differences in the manifestations of destructive behavior in the professional environment in a crisis
Abstract
destructive behaviour in the professional environment – in crisis – manifests itself as a disruption of organisational stability, reinforcing stress-induced dysfunctions; it alters workplace dynamics (crises act as amplifiers of existing tensions, exacerbating behavioural asymmetries rooted in socio-cultural conditioning). The purpose of this study is to examine the gendered manifestations of such behaviour, addressing a critical gap in theoretical frameworks that do not sufficiently account for the intersection of psychological stress mechanisms and occupational hierarchies (previous studies isolate behavioural typologies but ignore the systemic interaction between crisis factors and gender responses). Objective: to analyse the differential manifestations of ‘active-destructive’ (aggression/confrontation) and ‘passive-destructive’ (withdrawal/avoidance) behaviours by gender categories in high-stress professional environments, integrating psychological, sociological and organisational perspectives (existing literature presents fragmentary interpretations). A mixed method approach combining quantitative regression analysis (identifying statistical correlations between stress indicators and behavioural manifestations) and qualitative thematic analysis (extracting contextual information from semi-structured interviews) is used; sampling criteria include industry exposure to crisis, thus ensuring empirical validity in the professional hierarchy (response rate: 78%). Results: men show aggressive/confrontational behaviour (correlation coefficient: 0.32, p<0.01), women predominantly withdrawn/emotional detachment (correlation coefficient: 0.41, p<0.01); increased stress reinforces these tendencies: cortisol levels in male respondents in crisis scenarios increase by 23%, which correlates with increased aggression (in women, emotional fatigue increases by 31%, which reinforces avoidance). The findings allow for the development of crisis management measures: adaptive management strategies and gender-sensitive psychological support mitigate workplace disruptions, increasing organisational resilience (policies that consider gender reactions to stress allow for the restoration of workforce stability).
