JUDO AS AN ALTERNATIVE INTERVENTION MODEL TO PREVENT BULLYING AT SCHOOLS: A PILOT STUDY.

This pilot study investigates the effectiveness of a school judo program as an alternative intervention model for bullying prevention. Conducted with 61 schoolchildren aged 10 to 13, the study employed psychological tests and a structured judo curriculum to assess changes in anxiety levels, bullying roles, and psychological traits. Results revealed a significant reduction in situational anxiety and a trend towards decreased personal anxiety among participants. Additionally, a significant decrease in direct and indirect victimization was observed, although no substantial changes were noted in bullying behaviors themselves. Improvements in self-assessment levels of trust, self-awareness, emotion regulation, confidence, and communication skills were also reported. These findings suggest that integrating judo into school programs may enhance psychological resilience and contribute to a safer school environment. However, further research is needed to explore the long-term effects and additional strategies for addressing bullying behaviors directly.

RESEARCH ON PSYCHOLOGICAL WELL-BEING AND EMOTIONAL PROFILE OF ADOLESCENTS IN THE CONTEXT OF SCHOOL BULLYING.

This study explores the relationship between psychological well-being and emotional profiles of adolescents in the context of school bullying. Bullying, characterized by repeated aggressive behavior, has severe psychological impacts, including anxiety, depression, and reduced self-esteem. The research involved 71 adolescents (ages 10-13) from various regions of Armenia. Using tools such as the Psychological Well-Being Study Method, Spielberger-Khanin Anxiety Inventory, Izard's Differential Emotions Scale, and Norkina's Bullying Structure Test, the study found that most adolescents have average psychological well-being, with higher social and spiritual health. Emotional profiles showed moderate levels of positive emotions, especially, interest and joy, but also was revealed the high levels of index of negative emotions, especially disgust, anger and guilt. The most common bullying role was "protector," followed by "helper," "bully," "victim," and "observer." Significant correlations were observed between emotional states and bullying roles, highlighting the influence of emotional well-being on bullying behavior. The study suggests that comprehensive anti-bullying programs should address psychological and emotional factors to effectively reduce bullying.

COPING ARRANGEMENT OF SPOUSES WITH EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE IN FAMILY CONFLICTS.

Along with several social institutions, the family has its unique place as the foundation of a strong state. For this reason, family problems are at the center of research in modern psychological science aimed at identifying key factors of health, well-being and a prosperous life in the family. The purpose of this work is to identify the ability of spouses to cope with family difficulties or conflict situations and to study their correspondence to the manifestations of a person's emotional intelligence as a guarantee of satisfaction and family health. At different stages of its development the family very often faces problems, for which the spouses use a conscious toolkit. Emotional intelligence, being one of the fundamental components of personality, influences the choice of a person's coping strategy in conflict situations: Studies have shown that a person's high levels of emotional intelligence (EQ or EI) have a reciprocal relationship with coping, a rational problem-solving orientation. It also leads to personal satisfaction, creating the basis for family well-being and a healthy psychological atmosphere. We can conclude that the higher a person's perception and recognition of his own and others' emotions, emotional states, the easier and faster he distinguishes between his own and others' emotional manifestations and expressions, and of course is able to freely manage them, the more a person is able to show organization when facing various difficulties, the better he can regulate actions, as well as control the current situation. As a result, the person experiences satisfaction with family life.

Challenges for heat stress: Intestinal culturable bacteria of Lohmann Brown chickens.

This study aimed to assess how heat stress, specifically within the range of 35-38 °C, affects the populations of culturable intestinal lactobacilli, enterococci, and Escherichia coli, as well as the expression of Heat Shock Proteins (HSP70), in Lohmann Brown chickens. It also explored the influence of the chickens' blood transferrin and ceruloplasmin genotypes on these responses. Thirty chickens underwent eight hours of heat stress, maintained at an average temperature of 37 °C and a relative humidity of 75-80%, with continuous access to food and water. Behavioral monitoring was conducted throughout to prevent excessive heat-related mortality. The Lohmann Brown chickens from the Yerevan "Arax" poultry farm were initially classified based on their blood transferrin and ceruloplasmin genotypes to investigate potential correlations between intestinal bacterial composition and variations in these polymorphisms. A significant correlation was found between heat stress and the abundance of culturable enterococci within the intestinal microbiota, regardless of chicken TfAB, TfBC, CpAB, CpCC and TfAB, TfBC, CpAB, CpCD genotypes. Heat stress led to nearly double the HSP70 levels in chicken blood, along with a reduction in the culturable enterococci population by at least 10,000-fold in the intestinal microbiota. These findings are significant for targeted management strategies to mitigate heat stress in chicken populations.

MANIFESTATION OF CREATIVITY AMONG MODERN MANAGERS AS A FACTOR IN PROMOTING PERSONAL MATURITY AND MENTAL HEALTH.

The purpose of this article is to investigate the manifestation of creativity levels and criteria, conditioned by the ratio of personal qualities, motivational orientation, and contributing and hindering factors. These elements are regarded as pivotal factors in ensuring mental health and socio-psychological maturity. The study involved 300 managers from the private and public sectors of the Republic of Armenia. The research contributes to the academic discourse by introducing novel correlations between scientific concepts of creativity, enriching the theoretical foundations of creativity and motivation, creativity and personal qualities, and creativity and its contributing and hindering factors. Findings suggest a high level of creativity among managers, characterized by fluency, flexibility, and originality. Notably, power and altruism emerge as significant motivational orientations within the manager's psychological profile. Moreover, modern managers do not perceive reward or competition as hindrances to creativity. Essential factors conducive to creativity include dominance, competition, reward, freedom of thought, and a willingness to take risks in decision-making. The proposed creativity research and development model holds promise for informing a scientific approach to the psychological selection and training of managers.

AN INVESTIGATION OF PSYCHOLOGICAL AND PHYSIOLOGICAL FACTORS AFFECTING PERFORMANCE IN ADOLESCENT JUDOKAS.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the psychological and physiological factors affecting performance levels in adolescent judokas. The research was performed in the "Sport EMI" scientific-research center of Armenian State Institute of Physical Culture and Sport. Participants' performance levels were assessed based on their kyu rankings, a hierarchical ranking system in judo. The psychological assessment involved the completion of the Well-being, Activity, and Mood (WAM) test. The physiological assessment focused on heart rate variability (HRV) measurements, which were obtained using the Varikard 2.51 complex equipment. A total of 23 male teenage judokas, aged between 10 and 16 years, were randomly selected from a judo club to participate in this study. Participants demonstrated high levels of well-being, activity, and positive mood, indicating positive psychosocial outcomes associated with judo practice. Analysis of heart rate variability (HRV) revealed deviations in certain variables, suggesting potential irregularities in autonomic nervous system regulation. Specifically, the Index of Activity of Regulatory Systems (IRSA), low-frequency power (LF), and total power (TP) exceeded normal ranges, indicating increased tension and overall activity in the regulatory systems. In addition, one-way analysis showed significant main effects of age, training duration, and high-frequency power (HF) on the participants' performance level (Kyu). The findings suggest that psychological and physiological factors play significant roles in the performance levels of adolescent judokas. Coaches and practitioners should consider both aspects in optimizing training strategies for young athletes.

A STUDY OF SPATIAL ORIENTATION AND CONSTRUCTIVE PRAXIS DISORDERS IN NORMALLY DEVELOPING AND MENTALLY RETARDED CHILDREN AGED 8-11.

Aim- to study spatial orientation and constructive praxis disorders in normally developed and mentally retarded children aged 8-11. The research was performed in the research laboratory of the Faculty of Special and Inclusive Education at the Armenian State Pedagogical University after Kh. Abovyan and Armenian state institute of physical culture and sport. A total of 131 children aged between 8 and 11 years participated in the study, including 73 healthy schoolchildren and 58 children with mild mental retardation. The results of the experimental study of task performance show that interesting data have been obtained which will serve as a basis for the development of necessary means, methods, and conditions for the development of elementary practical orientation in mentally retarded elementary school children. The analysis of the results of the study allows us to highlight the following important points: - Mentally retarded younger pupils lag behind their healthy peers in all the studied indicators. - 8-9-year-old have less developed practical spatial orientation skills than their older counterparts. The results of the conducted experimental research testify to insufficient development of elementary practical orientation and understanding of spatial relations of objects in mentally retarded elementary school children.
