Introduction. Taking into account different approaches to the problem of arbitrary purposeful activity, as well as the existing lack of empirical data, the question of evaluating the relationship of self-regulation and self-management is an open and topical one. The leading role in the organization of activities can move from one process to another. The article analyzes the data obtained in the study of the assumption that at some level of the organization of activities, there are both elements of the process of self-management and the process of self-regulation; they are closely intertwined, interpenetrating depending on a particular stage. However, there are phenomena of personal formations that can affect self-regulatory mechanisms in self-management activities. These constitutional factors may be dominant or subordinate. The purpose of the study is to identify the relationship between the ability to self-management and self-regulation in law enforcement officers with constitutional personality factors. Materials and Methods. To conduct the study in accordance with this goal, we used the following questionnaires: N. M. Peisakhov “Ability to self-management” (SSU test); V. I. Morosanova “Style of self-regulation of behavior with a scale of reliability” (SSPM-2011); method of multivariate research of R. Kettell’s personality. Results. In the course of the study, we identified conditions (the degree of expression of the factor “N”, etc.) in which the value of explicability of dependent variables is higher, which indicates a changeable (dynamic) the nature of the mutual influence of conscious self-regulation and the ability to self-management and, in turn, is a certain feature of this professional activity. Discussion and Conclusion. In the course of the study, statistically significant relationships were obtained between General and particular indicators of the methods of V. I. Morosanova and N. M. Peisakhov. Along with this, we have identified reliable correlation indicators that characterize the relationship between R. Kettell’s constitutional factors with conscious self-regulation and the ability to self-management. It is obvious that the results obtained at this stage of the study are clearly insufficient to make any decision on the issue of “breeding” self-regulation and self-management. The results of univariate and multiple regression analysis of the original sample (N = 446) in addition to the low level of mutual dependence common indicators “of the process itself” – 28,6 %, and the total indicators from individual scales methods SSPM – 2011 and test SSU 30,91 % and 39,77 %, respectively, to assess differences in perceived self-regulation and ability for self-government, depending on the impact of constitutional traits of law enforcement officers.

In today’s America, not every child starts on a level playing field, and very few children move ahead based solely on hard work or talent. Generational poverty and a lack of cultural capital hold many students back, robbing them of the opportunity to move up professionally and socially. Children of immigrants are especially at-risk because, in addition to facing poverty, race, geographical location or economic disadvantages, they are also confronted with failure due to their limited or non-existent English proficiency. This study focuses on the degree to which teachers in a mid-sized urban school district take into consideration the individual needs of immigrant children in the process of their education. The study also examines the preparation teachers have had to equip them with knowledge of best practices in teaching immigrant children, and the relationship between teachers’ practices, beliefs, and their demographic and personal characteristics (age, gender, years of experience, level of education, etc.). Quantitative data was collected via a survey. Interviews with teachers and one central office administrator provided data for the qualitative section of the study. The findings revealed that teachers, in general, appeared to lack knowledge of specific policies for mainstreaming immigrant students into general education classrooms; their use of effective teaching practices for working with immigrant children were limited; and most of the teachers had not participated actively in professional development that focused on teaching immigrant children.

The Relationship

Most academic attention regarding military influence on policing has focused on critiques of the military model of policing and police militarization and has neglected to examine the relationship between the two institutions and the transferability of attributes and skills from the military to police. Military service itself, when examined, has been treated as an undifferentiated concept that has not distinguished the effects of organizational structure, leadership, and myriad roles and experiences on policing. This study, using data from a survey of law enforcement officers throughout a New England state, compares and analyzes how law enforcement officers and supervisors with and without military background and with and without deployment experience differ in their perspectives regarding both the positive as well as negative aspects of combat deployment on policing. As such, it has significant implications for both the reintegration and recruitment of combat-deployed veterans into police organizations.

We examine the question of prevention of crimes committed by persons with negative changes in the psyche. The relevance of the topic is confirmed by the fact that in modern conditions, preventive activities against crimes of persons with mental disabilities has acquired high importance and has become the main concept of general and forensic psychiatry, but the lack of scientific research on the prevention of crimes committed by persons with mental disorders, has a negative impact on the fight against crime. The effectiveness of the fight against crime largely depends on organizational and methodological prerequisites. Prevention of crimes committed by persons with negative changes in mental activity has an integrative nature and is possible only with the comprehensive development of tactical methods of preventive measures, criminological methods of prevention of crimes committed by persons and the development on this basis of practical recommendations to improve preventive activities. Prevention consists of two main areas: socially oriented and biologically based measures. We propose to emphasize the special field of prophylaxis and prevention measures against crimes – socio-psychiatric prophylaxis, justifying it by the fact, that prophylaxis is a complex measure. We draw a conclusion that it is possible to ensure sustainable and effective preventive work only with the coordinated mutual work of doctors and law enforcement officers, first of all, the internal affairs bodies, as well as social workers.

Abstract Objectives The prevalence of overweight and obesity among tactical populations is estimated at 70–75%, which may negatively impact health and performance. Since the relationship between BMI and health and performance is not well studied in tactical populations, the purpose of this study was to systematically review available literature on the relationship between BMI and health and performance among law enforcement officers (LEO), firefighters, and military personnel. Methods Literature searches were conducted in PubMed and SCOPUS using combinations of search terms: body mass index, health*, cardiovascular disease, heart disease, heart attack, myocardial infarction, heart failure, stroke, hypertension, cancer, diabetes, performance, physical fitness test*, physical training, fitness test*, injur*, law enforcement, police, trooper, firefighter, military, soldier, airmen, and sailor. Included studies used BMI as an adiposity assessment; involved cardiovascular disease (CVD), cancer, diabetes (T2DM), performance testing, and injuries among US LEOs, firefighters, or military personnel; and involved peer-reviewed primary research between 2000–2020. Review studies; studies on other tactical populations, retirees, and trainees; and studies using BMI as a covariate were excluded. Included articles were critically appraised using the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics Quality Criteria Checklist. Results Twenty-seven articles were included. Overall quality was neutral. Nine studies found BMI was positively associated with CVD risk factors. Studies involving BMI and cancer were lacking. One study found BMI was positively associated with T2DM risk. Five studies on occupational/physical performance and twelve studies on injury found a higher BMI was often indicative of decreased performance and increased risk of injury in general, but protective against stress fractures. Conclusions Higher BMI was often associated with negative health and performance outcomes among tactical populations, especially when beyond the overweight classification. Public health practitioners should focus efforts on improving nutrition and physical activity to promote a healthy BMI among these individuals. Funding Sources None.

the article is devoted to the theoretical aspects of voluntary self-regulation and its role in the formation of the neuropsychiatric stability of law enforcement officers. The analytical review of the problem of scientific research devoted to self-regulation is presented. Self-regulation is considered in the context of the most complex and significant problems of personal stability in general and the specifics of stress resistance in law enforcement officers in their professional activities in particular. The essence and conceptual apparatus associated with the phenomenon of self-regulation are revealed from the perspective of different branches of scientific knowledge. A special place is given to the justification of the influence of voluntary self-regulation on the neuropsychiatric stability of the individual, while arbitrary self-regulation is considered as a process and result associated with self-knowledge, labor efficiency and professional longevity of employees.

The leading idea of the article is the application of the most appropriate methodology for disclosing the essence and content of law, its origin, evolution, contradictions and their coordination in the context of the relationship between natural and positive law, social and individual paradigms, in particular, in the context of nationalizing the individual, and, on the contrary, individualizing the collective in a wide humanistic plane. This aspect synthesizes approaches to the disclosure of individual and collective through the categories of �self�, where dialectical, phenomenological, existential and other approaches are qualified as communicative and dialogic paradigm, which today finds its practical embodiment in lawmaking and law enforcement. Feeling the controversy of these views, the authors emphasize the deepening of the humanistic content of the legal regulator of social relations. Domestic modern legal science in its development should focus on deepening the humanistic content of the normative regulation of social relations. This actualizes the need to solve such scientific problems as the methodology of research and functioning of law, achieving a harmonious relationship between individual and collective in law, the connection of its natural and positive aspects, etc. A fundamentally new definition of the essence of law is proposed, not as the will of a certain class or majority, but as the will to self-existence, which is expressed in the phenomenon of self as a harmonious synthesis of individual and social. In this context, to investigate the legal phenomena dialectics can be effectively used not as a materialistic or idealistic methodology, but as the most general theory and way of ascending to the truth. After all, opposites in law are not necessarily antipodes, but can act as interacting components of legal reality
