Nowadays, knowledge of psychophysiological features, particularly on the nervous system’s characteristics, is essential in the sporting context, particularly for freestyle wrestling. The study aimed to investigate the peculiarities of the wrestlers’ nervous system—on the individual and electrophysiological levels in two functional states—in calm wakefulness and during intense physical fatigue. Psychological (Well-being, Activity, Mood; Spielberger–Hanin; Leonhard’s questionnaires), as well as electrophysiological techniques (dynamics of the dominant and average frequencies of the main electroencephalogram (EEG) spectra—theta, alpha, low and high-frequency beta rhythms), were used in the study. It was shown that athletes were mainly characterized by the hyperthymic type of character accentuation and a low frequency of theta rhythm in a calm wakefulness state. After the acute physical load, wrestlers with high hyperthymia showed a moderate increase in theta, whereas other athletes showed a decrease in this parameter. Regardless of the level of hyperthymic accentuation, all wrestlers were characterized by an increase in the frequency of alpha rhythm after exercises in the left hemisphere. These results suggest the existence of a particular functional system in freestyle wrestlers, which allows the body’s regulatory systems to be adapted for the effective implementation of sports activity.

The article focuses on the legal norms relating to countering the legalization of criminal proceeds. The problems of law enforcement practice are identified and measures are proposed to improve the current legislation in this area.

The authors structured the different methodological approaches of the researchers to the nature of the concept "sect". Certain features of the sect as the authoritarian hierarchical organization producing manipulation of adherents´ consciousness are presented. It is proved that the extremist (terrorist) organizations and religious sects have a number of similar characteristics: the presence of ideological basis, a strict hierarchy and the corresponding functional, and therefore, there may be the cases of deformation from one to another. The attention on the problem of "hidden" (latent) sects in the regions is paid. The authors´ idea of the prevention of religious extremism and sectarianism, as part of regional policy, is suggested.
