Technologies for identifying risk factors for the development of pathology in young people
Abstract
preventing the development of pathological processes and conditions, improving the quality of life, and ensuring health protection is one of the leading areas of modern world science and medicine. Students belong to a population group that needs timely detection, dynamic monitoring and prevention of various somatic diseases and mental disorders. The purpose of this study is to optimize the identification of the main risk factors for the development of pathology, to determine the possibility of technical implementation of available algorithms for active disease detection and dynamic monitoring of young people. The paper presents the results of a study of risk factors for the development of pathology of the cardiovascular system, respiratory tract, allergic reactions, oncological diseases and stress among students. To conduct the study, an original author's questionnaire was used using questions that exclude special medical terminology. The possibility of intensifying the screening survey was determined, and the need for computer processing of personal data was indicated. Questionnaires can be useful for pre-medical detection of pathology and primary prevention in medical institutions of higher education institutions, psychological centers. This examination can be effectively used in the dynamic monitoring of individuals with already identified risk factors for the development of pathology. The development and implementation of computer surveys saves time and money.

Probiotic "Pentaprol" as an alternative to antibiotics in the correction of the microbiome of the genital tract of sows
Abstract
this article examines the problem of rational use of the probiotic "Pentaprol" as an alternative to antibacterial drugs. Consumers increasingly prefer products that do not contain traces of antibiotics, which stimulates the growth of demand for solutions that replace them. Probiotics can be one of these alternatives. Studies confirm that their use helps prevent functional disorders and infectious diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. The mechanism of action of probiotics is based on the suppression of pathogenic and opportunistic microorganisms due to the production of biologically active compounds. The inclusion of probiotics in the diet has a positive effect on the development of beneficial microflora, and also helps to restore its balance after a course of antibiotics.

Pathophysiological theories of schizophrenia and its prevalence
Abstract
in the modern world, schizophrenia is one of the most common and severe mental disorders that are known today. This disease affects both the social and professional spheres of life of the patient and his relatives. Modern research shows that men are more likely to suffer from schizophrenia, unlike women. In them, this disease usually begins earlier and is more severe. The manifestation of schizophrenia in women occurs later in life. Schizophrenia is considered one of the most complex and disabling diseases that have a significant impact not only on an individual's life, but also on society. There is little information about its nature and origin. Modern pharmacotherapy of schizophrenia is based mainly on dopaminergic and serotonergic antagonists/partial agonists, however, new discoveries in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia will significantly expand the range of new approaches in pharmacotherapy and identify more reliable biomarkers of the disease. The purpose of this review is to provide the latest pathophysiological theories of the occurrence of schizophrenia and to examine the prevalence of this disease in the city of Penza in 2024.

Lung anatomy: the effect of smoking on the development of emphysema
Abstract
the lungs are a paired parenchymal organ of the respiratory system that provides gas exchange between atmospheric air and blood. Their morphology is optimized to perform key functions: ventilation, perfusion, and diffusion of gases. The elasticity of the parenchyma and surfactant allow them to stretch on inspiration and return to their original state on exhalation without damage. The pressure in the capillaries (~10 mmHg) maintains a balance between plasma filtration (preventing edema) and gas exchange [1]. Pulmonary emphysema, characterized by the destruction of the alveolar septa and the formation of "air traps", is an irreversible component of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Smoking is the leading modifiable risk factor for developing emphysema. However, the relationship between the intensity of smoking, the time of manifestation of symptoms and the subjective assessment of their reversibility remains insufficiently studied. This study, based on an analysis of a survey of 110 respondents, reveals non-obvious patterns, including the phenomenon of "early start" symptoms and cognitive dissonance in risk assessment.

Methods of modeling portal vein catheterization in small laboratory animals and subsequent intraportal correction of liver function in patients with obstructive jaundice
Abstract
the improvement of methods for modeling portal vein catheterization and the further development of intraportal methods for correcting liver function are promising areas of scientific research that can make a significant contribution to understanding the pathogenesis and treatment of liver diseases. The experiment was conducted on 35 sexually mature male Wistar rats, divided into 2 groups: the control group (n=10), the experimental group (n=25). In the control and experimental groups, the animals underwent surgical intervention to create obstructive jaundice and portal vein catheterization. Against the background of mechanical jaundice, the animals were intraportally injected with a solution of sodium heparin, and the animals of the experimental group, in addition to heparin, were injected with an ethoxidol solution for 8 days. For dynamic monitoring of the condition of animals with obstructive jaundice, venous blood was collected on the 3rd, 9th and 11th days of follow-up after choledochal decompression. In order to assess the functional activity of the liver, the concentrations of total bilirubin (OB), alanine and aspartic aminotransferases (AlAT, AsAT), and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) were studied. Combination therapy with sodium heparin and ethoxidol has shown positive results in the form of reduced damage to liver cells, decreased activity of the enzymes ALP and AlAT. Analysis of liver structural changes on the 11th day of follow-up after the use of sodium heparin in combination with an antioxidant showed a decrease in liver morphological disorders compared with the control group in the form of a decrease in hepatocyte edema, as well as its structural zone.

Viltepso: New standard in treatment and its advantages
Abstract
duchenne progressive muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a hereditary neuromuscular disease associated with the X chromosome that occurs due to a mutation in the DMD gene responsible for the synthesis of the dystrophin protein. The dystrophin (DMD) gene is located on the short arm of the X chromosome and is one of the longest genes in the human genome, spanning 2.22 million pairs of nucleotides. It consists of 79 exons, and the protein it encodes has a molecular weight of 427 kDa and includes approximately 3,700 amino acid residues. The synthesis of dystrophin mRNA takes about 16 hours. This mutation can lead to both a complete cessation of dystrophin production and a decrease in its functional activity. The incidence is about 1 case for every 15,000 live births of boys. At the asymptomatic stage of Duchenne muscular dystrophy, the disease can be suspected by an increased level of creatinine phosphokinase activity, as well as by an unreasonable increase in alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase levels, given the family history. The first symptoms usually appear at the age of 2 to 5 years: the child has increased fatigue, muscle weakness, frequent falls and gait disorders. Lifting from the floor is performed using Govers' myopathic techniques. As the disease progresses, the ability to climb stairs gradually deteriorates, and walking becomes more difficult. By the age of 8-12, patients enter the outpatient stage: they lose the ability to move independently, have problems with hand functions, and respiratory and cardiac regulation disorders may occur. The average life expectancy of patients diagnosed with Duchenne muscular dystrophy is 20-30 years. Currently, there are several drugs for the treatment of Duchenne muscular dystrophy approved by the FDA – eteplirsen (Exondys 51), golodirsen (Vyondys 53) and viltolarsen (Viltepso). Currently, the only drug registered in Russia for this type of therapy is Viltepso® (viltolarsen).

The frequency of occurrence of anomalies in the development of the vertebral artery in men aged 20-30 years who are in the conditions of the North
Abstract
the aim of the study was to identify the frequency of occurrence of abnormalities of the extracranial vertebral arteries in men aged 20-30 years, permanently residing and working in the hypocomfortn climatic and geographical conditions of the North. The revealed anomaly in the development of the vessel diameter can have a long asymptomatic period and to varying degrees affect the functional state of the Willis circle in young people, which further leads to an asymmetry in the velocity parameters of blood flow. The data obtained by us diagnosed asymmetry in 2.2% of cases with acquired pathology – extravasal compression, developing with compression of the vertebral arteries from outside. In 1.1% of cases, asymmetry was detected in congenital hypoplasia of the artery with blood flow asymmetry was detected in 1.1% of cases, which was accompanied by instability of blood flow and a decrease in linear parameters.

Features of distortion of imaginary and verbal information in the process of communication
Abstract
figurative and verbal information in the process of communication can be distorted to varying degrees or lose its original meaning and significance. At the same time, figurative information has greater integrity, unity of its components than verbal information, in this regard, the use of figurative information has its advantages. The study established the quantitative and qualitative degree of such distortion. The data obtained somewhat clarify the knowledge about the properties of our perception and provide practical recommendations for the most effective methods of communication. The research goal is to identify the features of distortion of figurative and verbal information in the process of communication, as well as to evaluate and compare their quantitative and qualitative indicators. Research objectives are: to identify specific mechanisms by which the original signal is subject to distortion at various stages of the communicative act; analysis of psycholinguistic features of perception and interpretation of information, cognitive distortions, social and cultural filters, as well as the influence of context and means of communication on the perception of the signal. To achieve the objectives, the following methods were used in the study: content analysis, discourse analysis and neurovisualization methods. The study results indicate a significant influence of cognitive distortions (for example, confirmation bias, halo effect, availability heuristic) on the process of distortion of both figurative and verbal information. Further research should be aimed at developing models that can predict and prevent information distortion in various communication contexts.

Psychologist, Mindset Coach, Specialist in the field of "Psychology of Neurodynamic disorders in mental activity and the mechanism of empathy" The concept of neurointuition and its activation in the subconscious thinking mode
Abstract
the article actualizes the problematic of neurointuitive cognition as a process, the operational feature of which is the emerging sensations that coincide with the criteria for the correctness of one-time personal awareness. The author approaches the description of the process of neurointuition through the mechanisms of the subconscious mode of thinking, not fully understood mechanisms in the work of the brain and the features of neurotransmission. The article focuses the author's attention on the existence of specific means of transmitting information about specific sensations, for the transmission of which a non-verbal impulse is necessary, which is defined by the author as a means of transmitting direct comprehension of a sensation in a specific material-space-time continuum, where all the above components are interconnected, interdependent, united and interrelative. The article offers a vision of the neuropsychological and neurophysiological foundations of neurointuition, formulates the author's concept of defining neurointuition as a specific form of knowledge activation and ways of their implementation in the process of solving a given problem, within which processing, transmission and use of information occur on the basis of regulation through sensations, impressions, associative response and do not require conscious control. The article examines the physiological dominant foundations and specificity of neurotransmission in the process of manifestation of neurointuition. The author proposes the concept of neurointuition as a phenomenon of the subconscious mode of thinking. Neurointuition is considered as a process, the terminal product of which is sensation, feeling, necessary for automatic decision-making, judgments, patterns of action. The practical contribution of the author is the contribution to the development of the concept of neurointuition, as well as the fact that the process of manifestation of neurointuition allows a person to see and perceive the task and solution as a whole, excluding conscious control and logic of reasoning. Thanks to this, it becomes possible to produce a response to a request in the shortest possible time. The development of sensory experience and the systematic wide use of the senses in activities allows for the improvement and development of neurointuitive capabilities.

The possibility of using lucid dreams for psychological self-regulation
Abstract
a lucid dream is defined as a dream in which the person realizes that they are dreaming and continues to dream; this gives them full control over the content of the dream. We investigated how lucid dreams effect mood the next day. The dependence of the improvement of mood the next day on the application of lucid dreaming was revealed. The effect of the systematic practice of lucid dreams on the general sense of psychological well-being was studied. Unlike other similar studies, a new and much more effective method for inducing lucid dreams was used, which, also unlike the previously used method, makes it possible to return to a lucid dream after it is over and experience multiple lucid dreams in one night. For comparison, the effect of the creative application of lucid dreams on mood the next day was added. A more understandable scale for rating mood the next day was used. A more comprehensive list of questions was used to determine the effect of lucid dreams on the general sense of psychological well-being. It was shown that using lucid dreams for any purpose improves mood the day after having a lucid dream, with the greatest improvement in mood being promoted by the realization of wishes in a lucid dream; therefore, the recreational use of lucid dreams should not be neglected. It was also shown that the systematic practice of lucid dreaming increases the general sense of psychological well-being. Thus, the practice of lucid dreaming can be used as an effective means of psychological self-regulation without requiring any special expenditure of time.

Model of professional thinking of a psychologist: structure and conditions of development
Abstract
this article is devoted to the theoretical study of the construct of "professional thinking of a psychologist", which is a complex integrative system that ensures the ability of a specialist to act consciously, flexibly and ethically in a professional environment. Despite the active study of cognitive processes, thinking styles and reflection mechanisms, at the moment there is no idea about the structure of professional thinking that reflects the specifics of psychological activity. This causes difficulties in the purposeful formation of professional thinking in educational and supervision formats, reduces the effectiveness of training future psychologists and complicates the process of forming a professional identity. The purpose of this study is to theoretically substantiate the structure of professional thinking of a psychologist and determine the conditions that contribute to its development. The study is based on a theoretical and methodological analysis of scientific sources and a generalization of practical material obtained in the process of working in polymodal group supervisions. The study proposes a model that includes four interrelated components: procedural (organization of activities, planning, compliance with standards and control), substantive (analysis, hypotheses, work with information and client requests), motivational-value (professional attitudes, meaning of activities, internal position), reflexive-evaluative (understanding of professional role, self-analysis, critical thinking). The components interact with each other as a single system, where each level can be leading depending on the situation. The model is based on the idea of the transition from everyday, empirical thinking to a scientific type of professional thinking. In the future, the results can be used in the creation of educational programs, in supervision practice and in building individual strategies for the professional development of psychologists. The structure of the model contributes to a more conscious and effective development of a specialist, and can also improve the quality of assistance provided.

Factors influencing rational and irrational thinking
Abstract
the research topic is that one of the most important issues in human behavior is the inclination to rational and irrational thinking. The research goal is to identify the causes and factors that contribute to this or that thinking. The research methods included: historiographical analysis of the scientific discourse of the topic under study. In the empirical part of the work, the main research method was a laboratory experiment, which was planned as an individual interaction between the experimenter and the subject in two stages. In the first stage, the subject was given difficult tasks. And at the second stage – simple. Tasks according to the criteria of complexity and simplicity were selected on the basis of the material of the academic discipline. As a result, the following pattern was revealed; The easier the task to be solved and the higher the rewards and risks in such a task, the more a person relies on rational thinking. In the opposite situations, where a person's awareness is lower, there is a greater tendency to irrational and intuitive thinking, and rewards and risks catalyze this effect. The experiment made it possible to establish the factors and causes that influence the emergence of rational and irrational thinking, to measure their quantitative and qualitative indicators and characteristics.

Psychological and pedagogical aspects of student assessment
Abstract
the article is devoted to the analysis of the role of assessment activities in the educational process and its impact on motivation, self-esteem and academic achievements of students. The author emphasizes the need to use effective and fair assessment methods that take into account the individual characteristics of schoolchildren, contribute to their comprehensive development, as well as the formation of their future competencies. Assessment is considered not only as an instrument for measuring academic performance, but also as a factor influencing the level of students' aspirations and expectations. The article examines the role of teachers' control and feedback in the formation of universal learning activities and the development of higher mental functions. Important attention is paid to the emotional aspects of assessment, which can cause both positive and negative emotions in students. Negative assessments can lead to a decrease in self-esteem and motivation, while fair and objective assessments can be an incentive to learn. The article emphasizes the need for a personalized assessment approach that takes into account the individual achievements and efforts of each student. The author concludes that the current education policy sets teachers the task of revising traditional approaches to assessing student achievement and expanding assessment tools.

Socio-psychological determinants of motivation stability in sambo training
Abstract
the article is devoted to the study of socio-psychological determinants of motivation stability in sambo training. In the course of the analysis, the author considers various interpretations of the concept of motivation and motives, including when playing sports. It is indicated that the stability of motivation is influenced by various factors of the social environment, as well as the success of competitive training activities. As research materials, we have studied various determinants belonging to the social environment that can influence the formation of a stable personality motivation during sambo training. Research methods: analysis of special literature on the research problem, system-structural analysis, modeling. Based on the results of the study, a model for the development of sustainable motivation in sambo training was formed, which includes four components: family, social environment, physical environment and educational environment. In the author's opinion, the most significant influence, all other things being equal, is exerted by the family, the relationships in which determine the orientation of both the overall development of personality and the sustainability of motivation for sports. In addition, children living in more favorable family conditions have more stable motivation and, importantly, athletic performance than children whose family environment is unfavorable.

Subjective self-regulation and meaning-in-life orientations as determinants of psychological well-being under professional stress
Abstract
context and relevance: the modern professional environment is characterized by high cognitive workload, digital overload, and increasing emotional instability, which intensify the issues of occupational stress and burnout. Specialists in the field of information technology are particularly vulnerable due to remote work, high responsibility, and constant informational pressure. Objective. To empirically investigate and theoretically substantiate the interrelation of subject self-regulation and meaning-in-life orientations as key determinants of psychological well-being under conditions of professional stress. Methodology. An empirical study was conducted with IT specialists (N = 74) using psychodiagnostic tools and statistical analysis. Additionally, a cross-disciplinary theoretical and analytical review of Russian and international studies was conducted, focusing on the phenomena of burnout, well-being, meaning-based regulation, and subject activity. Results. The empirical study established that developed subject self-regulation and a coherent system of meaning-in-life orientations are statistically significantly correlated (r = 0.57, p < 0.001) and contribute to resilience under professional stress, mitigate the effects of digital burnout, and support psychological well-being. A strong correlation was found between meaning-in-life indicators and the scales of "Planning" (r = 0.42, p < 0.001) and "Action Programming" (r = 0.44, p < 0.001), emphasizing the regulatory aspect of meaning stability. Conclusions. The empirical research confirmed that meaningful engagement and internal regulatory resources are critical factors in the prevention of professional distress in the context of digital transformation of labor. The necessity of implementing psychological support programs aimed at fostering self-regulation and meaningful involvement in professional activity is emphasized.

Assessment of the anxiety level of medical university students of various faculties
Abstract
anxiety is the psychological background of a person, which is characterized by a sense of danger, unreasonable excitement, emotional discomfort. If these manifestations are short-lived and do not cause problems, then this is considered the norm. This reaction is classified as adaptive. Anxiety can persist regardless of external circumstances. According to statistics, an average of 12% of people worldwide suffer from anxiety, and up to 30% of people experience anxiety periodically. The deviation is increased or decreased anxiety, which leads to various disorders. The cause of violations may be personal and situational anxiety. A high level of anxiety, without timely correction, provokes neurotic disorders. The purpose of our study was to determine the anxiety level of medical university students in the dynamics of university education. The research revealed that students of various faculties have a high level of personal anxiety before the winter session.

The phenomenon of deviant manifestation in the late 19th – 20th centuries
Abstract
this article explores the phenomenon of deviant behavior in the context of social, political, and cultural transformations from the late 19th to the 20th century. The analysis focuses on three key periods: the late 19th century, and the first and second halves of the 20th century. Particular attention is paid to both destructive and constructive forms of deviance, including crime, political radicalism, cultural resistance, and scientific innovation. The theoretical framework is based on the concepts of social anomie by ?. Durkheim and R. Merton, as well as theories of stigmatization and social norms. The article emphasizes that deviance is not only a threat to societal stability but also a form of social progress that challenges existing norms to promote innovation and transformation. Through historical examples from Russia, Europe, and the United States, the author demonstrates how deviant behavior reflects the crises of an era while simultaneously catalyzing societal change. The study uses an interdisciplinary approach and draws on works by Russian and international scholars, offering a comprehensive perspective on deviance as a sociocultural phenomenon.

The specifics of time perception and management of life time in middle age, depending on the dominant status of ego identity
Abstract
the article examines various aspects of time perception and time management in middle age, in relation to the dominant status of ego identity. Objective methods of psychodiagnostics (testing) are used in the work. The study showed the predominance of the autonomous status of ego identity in middle-aged people, which suggests that most of the subjects have reached a significant level of personal maturity. It has been shown that each type of ego-identity corresponds to a specific combination of skills in filling time with events and time management. It has been shown that the abundance of life time with various events causes the emergence of a subjective feeling of acceleration of life time, whereas the "emptiness of life", low eventfulness of time, on the contrary, enhances the subjective feeling of slowness over time. It was also revealed that internal determination in life time management increases the subjective feeling of slowing down the passage of time, as a person is personally and creatively involved in every moment of his life and fills his life with significant events for him, as well as controls the course of his life.

Abstract
this study examines the psychological and socio-personal characteristics of women experiencing domestic violence. Objective: to examine the psychological and socio-personal characteristics of women experiencing domestic violence. Materials and research methods.This study was conducted at the Verba crisis center. The study involved 65 women in a traumatic situation as a result of experiencing domestic violence. All subjects had a history of family life, long-term abuse by a partner or husband. The average duration of cohabitation in a couple was 4,36 ± 1,02 years. The author's questionnaire was used in the work to identify the type of domestic violence, study the somatic and neurotic complaints of the subjects. All subjects were examined by a psychiatrist to exclude psychiatric pathology. In order to determine the multimodal mental state, the questionnaire of neurotic disorders (ONR) was used; to determine the severity of the subjects' negative attitude to their personality and their own future, the questionnaire of hopelessness by A.T. Beck was used. Mathematical and statistical analysis was carried out to process the obtained data using psychodiagnostic methods. Standard methods of statistical analysis were used using the statistika 10 software package. The rank correlation coefficient proposed by K. Spearman was calculated. Correlation dependencies were considered reliable with the values of the correlation coefficients r = 0,5-1,0 and the reliability of differences P <0.05. Results. The results obtained according to the ONR questionnaire showed an excess of indicators on the clinical scales: "Digestive disorders" (72,4 ± 16,54 Tb); "Mental exhaustion" (67,1 ± 6.45 Tb); "General sensitivity disorders" (74,32±9,58Tb; "Degree of deterioration of general well-being" (70,15±10,73Tb); "Experience of one's own inferiority" (68,4±8,53Tb); "Unmotivated fear" (6,8±7,51Tb); "Obsessive thoughts and actions" (76,83±10,31Tb); "Sleep disorders" (68,8±6,47Tb), "Reduced performance" (73,6±9,71Tb). The study of the personality scales of the OHP questionnaire allowed us to determine in the group of subjects an overestimation of the scales: "Neurotic "overcontrol" of behavior" (**–P<0,01), "Hypochondriacism" (*–P<0,05), "Social maladaptation" (**-P<0,01), "Lack of self-confidence" (***- P<0,01), "Affective instability" (***-P<0,01), The main features of the psychological status of the tested women were conscious overcontrol of behavior, an exaggerated tendency to think, inertia and repetitiveness of experiences. Analysis of data on the hopelessness scale established states of mild hopelessness in 63,5±7,3% of moderate hopelessness in 38,4±5.1% of those tested. Discussion. The study found that violence has a significant impact on the personality and psychological state of women. Women experiencing domestic violence were characterized by low self-esteem, they stop believing in their own strengths, in the ability to achieve success in life. Psychological trauma disrupts the ability of victims of violence to control their lives and their behavior. The above psychological characteristics of women, victims of violence, negatively affect their mental health and negatively affect the functioning of such a person in society. Conclusions. The results of the study indicate mental health disorders in women, victims of domestic violence and allow us to raise questions about the need to develop and test effective methods of psychological and psychotherapeutic assistance to families.

Resilience in adolescents from families with socially dangerous situations
Abstract
the purpose of the work was to analyze the characteristics of indicators of resilience and anti-vitality in adolescents from families with a socially dangerous situation (SDS). The family is the first and most important environment for the successful socialization of a child. When parents subject a child to targeted cruelty, do not satisfy his vital needs, needs for emotional support and attention, the child is in chronic emotional and psychological stress, experiencing a deficit in unconditional acceptance and love. The results of the study showed that despite the fact that the majority of adolescents from SDS families are characterized by a low level of anti-sexuality (60%), 22.86% have very specific thoughts and actions of a self-destructive nature that can lead to the formation of the foundations of suicidal behavior. Anti-sexual thoughts and actions correlate with the presence in adolescents of demonstrativeness and inability to cope with strong emotions, which, due to the presence of chronic emotional tension within the family, constant frustration, create a feeling of helplessness. The presence of conflict in the family often leads to conflicts with other social environments, such as teachers, peers, etc., making them vulnerable to criticism and ridicule. A comparative analysis on the scales of resilience also indicates differences among adolescents from families with SDS. Adolescents from families with SDS have a reduced level of resource capacity. 40% of the subjects have a low level of life satisfaction, feeling frustrated by the desire for recognition, success and self-improvement. The low level of resilience of adolescents is associated with the lack of stable psychological, material and emotional support from the family.

The subjective feeling of loneliness and the level of students' social adaptability of first-year students of higher educational institutions
Abstract
subjective feelings of loneliness are a common problem among first-year college students, which can have a negative impact on their social adaptation and overall well-being. This article examines the complex relationship between subjective feelings of loneliness and the level of social adaptation in first-year college students. Particular attention is paid to factors that can increase or decrease the feeling of loneliness, as well as strategies that help students cope with this problem and successfully adapt to university life. Loneliness and social adaptation are closely related. The feeling of loneliness can hinder successful social adaptation, and a low level of social adaptation, in turn, can increase the feeling of loneliness. Overcoming loneliness and successful social adaptation are important steps towards personal growth, self-realization and a happy life. Active participation in the social life of the university, development of communication skills, work on self-esteem, maintaining contacts with old friends and family, taking care of yourself, finding hobbies and interests, seeking help from a psychologist - all these strategies allow students to cope with loneliness and successfully adapt to university life.
