Based on the stated and analyzed interpretations of the authors about the concept of \"innovations in education\", the research position to consider innovation as an important element of education support in a state of dynamic development, adequate to the demands of today's society as a phenomenon of collective or formed individual professional creative activity of a teacher was formulated. On the example of the course, in which a systematic theoretical, methodological and practice-oriented training of students is carried out, the experience of formation of readiness of future teachers to innovative activity is described, the leading forms of pedagogical activity are presented. According to the results of the study it is concluded that the formation of the future teacher's readiness for innovative activity contributes to the identification of the conceptual position of the specialty, the identification of development resources and innovation (including potential) and their critical evaluation, creating conditions for finding innovative solutions in education. This competence is an important part of the professionalism of the today's teacher. Also in the article the role of computer technologies as a method of formation of students' information skills in the learning process is studied; e-learning tools as a basic step of realization of digital pedagogical technologies, the structure of the author's system of preparation of university teacher to the application of e-learning tools in professional activity is given.","PeriodicalId":504804,"journal":{"name":"BRAIN.

Thepresent paper explores the patients' experiences with a diagnosis of female or male infertility from the perspective ofpatients undergoing IVF to become pregnant. The sample included 17 participants, patients of a private reproductivehealth and fertility clinic in Iasi, Romania. Patients were interviewed based on a semi-structured interview guide to obtaininformation about the infertility experience, from diagnosis to IVF procedures, regardless of the therapeutic approach.The data was enriched through observation notes. The data obtained were analyzed from a qualitative perspective, with aphenomenological approach, to describe and interpret the experience of infertility from the patient's perspective tounderstand and deepen the diagnosis's effect on personal, social and couple life. Six theme clusters emerged from thecollected data related to the perceived definition of maternity, the personal infertility story, the array of identifiedemotions, couple dynamics, perceived social support and coping strategies. The body of literature gives increased interestto the biomedical aspect of infertility. However, its completion with information related to the patient's life context and themeanings attributed to it provides relevant data for therapeutic success.","PeriodicalId":504804,"journal":{"name":"BRAIN.

The medical literature of the last decade is strongly developed regarding the homeostatic imbalances induced by the type of delivery of the fetus on it. Among these we briefly state intestinal or pulmonary dysbiosis, entities frequently incriminated in escalating the predisposition towards the development of atopy, autoimmune, cardio-vascular, gastrointestinal, metabolic, renal or neurological diseases. Neurocognitive integrity is defined by its importance both in terms of the child's optimal transition to adolescence and later to adult life, as well as in its psycho-social integration. We will therefore develop in the following current considerations regarding the development of the neurological system, emphasizing its variability depending on the type of birth. The desired practical purpose is to raise awareness of the unwanted effects of cesarean section, to discourage its choice when medical considerations are not in question and thus to reduce the burden induced by neurological disorders both on the patient and the family, as well as on the global medical system.","PeriodicalId":504804,"journal":{"name":"BRAIN.

Although most efforts are focused on adult gamblers, there is growing concern about teenagers and young adults being more vulnerable to gambling addiction. Gambling practices and opportunities have evolved to the point where they are widely available and seen as a socially acceptable form of entertainment while becoming increasingly attractive to young people. My aim in this paper was to identify risk factors, protective factors in gambling addiction in adolescents, and prevention methods for this type of addiction. With the help of data obtained from studies and specialized literature, I was able to highlight the most important features of this addiction among teenagers. Male sex, young age, alcohol and drug consumption, depression, and poor academic performance were identified as risk factors for gambling. In terms of protective factors, parental supervision, and high socioeconomic status are recognized. Considering that there is a significant prevalence of adolescent gambling and numerous adverse effects associated with it, prevention efforts such as awareness programs and a healthy family environment can be helpful.","PeriodicalId":504804,"journal":{"name":"BRAIN.

Burnout syndrome is a manifestation of chronic stress characterized by emotional, mental and physical exhaustion, caused by occupational stressors and is represented by three dimensions: emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and decreased personal performance. The COVID-19 pandemic had a major impact on the medical system, with a psychological impact on the medical staff. This emotional and physical exhaustion is also found among nurses. \u0000Material and methods. We studied a total of 112 participants receiving 80 valid questionnaires. This was a descriptive, cross-sectional study of the medical staff within the UPU-SMURD section of the County Emergency Clinical Hospital “St. Ap. Andrei” Galați, who is in the front line in the fight against coronavirus. After signing an informed consent, the participants completed a socio-demographic questionnaire and the MBI-HSS (MP) questionnaire to assess their level of burnout. \u0000Results. The aim of our study was to identify the prevalence of burnout syndrome among emergency department nurses in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic. The study found that 46.2% of nurses suffer from an average level of burnout, and only 32.5% suffer from a high level. Also, emotional exhaustion is directly proportional to professional experience and age. \u0000Conclusions. The prevalence of burnout syndrome is high, with most front-line nurses suffering from moderate to severe burnout.","PeriodicalId":504804,"journal":{"name":"BRAIN.

It describes neuropsychological means of prevention of academic procrastination with the recommendation to take into account the results of psychodiagnostics and analysis of some conditions and causes of the studied phenomenon. The psychological portrait of a student-procrastinator is analised the components of which are individual psychological, psychophysiological and personal characteristics. The role of the relationship between self-regulation and student learning motivation in foreign literature is also summarized. Peculiarities of educational burnout of procrastination students on the basis of foreign and domestic works are noted. It was revealed the essence of development and introduction of neuropsychological means of academic procrastination – conditioning of dynamic process of emotional and cognitive transformations in self-regulation of the student’s personality and improvement of his/her educational success. The author’s system of neuropsychological exercises for neuropsychological prevention of academic procrastination is presented in the article considering the neuropsychological mechanisms of its development at the cognitive-emotional-bodily systemic level. It is noted that procrastination may be associated with a negative emotional and mental response to the introduction of quarantine and the transition to distance learning, and even with the new opportunities. It is emphasized that neuropsychological prevention of academic procrastination should be combined with programs for the formation of future professionals thinking and development of a high level of independence, discipline and responsibility in educational activities as a successful strategy to prevent burnout and actualize motivation to learn at the integration level.","PeriodicalId":504804,"journal":{"name":"BRAIN.

The importance of psychiatric involvement in determining the extent of mental trauma and its impact on an individual's life will be highlighted, as well as the challenges faced by psychiatrists in making such assessments. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Corporal damage assessment is a critical component of the process of financial compensation for individuals who have experienced physical injuries. In France, this process is governed by a complex legal framework that includes the Civil Code, the Social Security Code, and the Code of Criminal Procedure. These laws and regulations outline the various types of financial compensation that may be awarded to victims of physical injury, including medical expenses, loss of income, and compensation for pain and suffering. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Given the increasing awareness of the importance of mental health, the role of psychiatrists in corporal damage assessment has become more significant. These mental health professionals are tasked with assessing psychological and emotional injuries, determining the extent of mental trauma, and evaluating the impact of physical injury on an individual's mental health. The challenges include distinguishing between pre-existing and injury-related mental health issues, overcoming the subjective nature of psychological assessment, and balancing patient advocacy with impartiality. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Finally, this presentation will provide a series of case studies that illustrate the impact of psychiatrist involvement in financial compensation cases.

We hypothesized that increased screen time is associated with heightened display of internalizing and externalizing symptoms. We investigated this association on a sample of 2497 highschoolers recruited from one big city in southern Romania. They filled in a series of items focusing on screen time average exposure, display of depression and anxiety symptoms, involvement in aggressive and delinquent behavior, and family context. The linear regression model showed that, after controlling for individual and family variables, more screen time exposure is associated to heighten depression and anxiety symptoms and more involvement into aggressive behavior. These findings contribute to the research in this new area of interest and may inform the development of prevention and supportive programs for adolescents and their families by adding evidence for clarifying the relationship.","PeriodicalId":504804,"journal":{"name":"BRAIN.

Two types of psychological intervention factors were analyzed in the mentioned categories, in the pre-pandemic period, namely, a period of financial stability vs pre-pandemic financial instability, respectively, the spectrum of the pandemic generating anxiety, illness and death as markers of emotional balance. The meta-analysis indirectly quantified the interest in scientific research regarding optimism as a psychological resource, through the number of published articles related to this psychological variable. Material and method: The study is a comparative and cross-sectional meta-analysis of articles published in the PubMed database during 2008-2011, 2016-2019 and 2020-2023. Data processing was carried out using the Microsoft Excel application. Results: The comparative analysis between young people and the elderly ones regarding the studies published in the period 2008-2011 with the psychological variable \"optimism\" in their study shows a 15.65 times higher number of studies in terms of articles about seniors. Also, the comparative analysis of the number of studies published in the period 2008-2023 for the two age categories is clearly in favor of the elderly, the ratio being 1 to 12.8. It is possible that this fact is due to the greater addressability of the health systems of the elderly. The comparative analysis led to the conclusion that optimism as a form of manifestation of positive affectivity was studied more frequently in the third age patients being considered an important resource for them due to its attenuation with advancing age and by diminishing personal resources as a consequence of cognitive impairment and emotional lability. In young people, optimism is a psychological component present in a greater proportion and constitutes the premises of ecological emotional and cognitive manifestations. Conclusions: The meta-analysis revealed differences regarding research interest related to optimism as a manifestation of positive affectivity in relation to the periods studied and to the mentioned age categories. In relation to optimism per se, it represents an important resource at any age and it is dependent on a series of factors that are related to the period of life but also to the situational context, without discussing the personality type of the individual and a series of co-factors (transgenerational, educational, cultural, geographical, etc.). \u0000  \u0000 ","PeriodicalId":504804,"journal":{"name":"BRAIN.
