Neuroscientific Principles in Labour Adaptation of People with Musculoskeletal Disorders

Abstract

The article proves that the socialization of adults and children with musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) is closely related to development, education, rehabilitation and includes the following neuropsychological aspects: social adaptation, labour adaptation, assessment of prospects for one’s adult life and creation of a non-discriminatory environment in society. Besides, the article shows how the photography club implements such goals, as well as evaluates the effectiveness of its activities. The educational aim of the photography club was to familiarize persons with MSDs with the basic types of working with digital photography and basic computer programmes that enable processing of digital information; to develop their knowledge about the photography and design business, computer skills and independent work skills. The experimental group (EG) consists of 40 leavers (18 males and 22 females) from the Vinnytsia Centre for Social Rehabilitation of Children with Special Needs “Promin”, who were diagnosed with cerebral palsy and six leavers with mild mental disorders. The age requirement for EG is 14-19 years old. The control group (CG) consists of 40 persons diagnosed with CP and seven persons with mild mental disorders (23 males and 17 females). The respondents managed to study different types of shooting: portraits, landscapes, group and individual photography. The photography club used different methods: verbal methods (mini-lectures, stories, explanations, conversations); practical methods (computer exercises, independent work, role-playing games), as well as paid considerable attention to the psychological correction of persons with MSDs. Unfortunately, most options of the respondents for employment are rather passive. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare persons with MSDs for competition in the labour market through psychological training and counselling. It is also crucial to promptly inform them about the dynamics of the labour market. The international relevance of the article lies in an attempt to adjust available electronic and software technologies to labour adaptation of people with MSDs and consider neurophysiological patterns of such a process.

Neuropsychological Fundamentals of Envy

“…According to Heider's theory of equilibrium (1958), one can want a certain thing only because someone else has it, although he or she has never felt the need for it before and has not even thought about it. As noted by Berbets et al (2021); Demchenko et al (2021); Karasievych (2021); Kosholap et al (2021); Lebreton et al (2012); Prots et al (2021); Sarancha (2021) the desirability of the stimulus increases if one sees that this stimulus is significant and is desirable for someone he or she is watching. Interestingly, advertising relies on "the effect of mimetic infection" and "the pursuit of someone else's goal".…”

Processes of Local Transition of Ukraine’s Economy and Processes of Global Transition of the World Economy: Contemporary Changes in the Language Space

“…Based on the use of lexical-semantic field theory, ontological and associative relations between concepts are established, which allows to use the study of lexical-semantic innovations in transition economies in the processes of neuro-modelling and the acquisition of new knowledge, etc (Berbets et al, 2021;Demchenko et al, 2021;Karasievych et al, 2021;Kosholap et al, 2021;Sarancha et al, 2021;Prots et al, 2021).…”

The Concept of Professional Reflection in Ukrainian Psycho-Pedagogical Literature: Regard or Disregard for Neurophysiological Factors?

“…As noted by MacFadden & Schoech (2010), the human brain naturally includes unconscious emotions and conscious cognition of mental processes, and professional decision-making combines these rational and emotional systems. This fact forces one to reconsider the aspects of student training and the basics of professional deontology (Karasievych et al, 2021;Berbets et al, 2021;Sarancha et al, 2021;Demchenko et al, 2021;Prots et al, 2021;Kosholap et al, 2021). Besides, it is clear that professional reflection in its neurophysiological basis does not differ from social reflection: it is simply surrounded by ethical, professional and volitional limitations of the employee.…”
