This chapter deals with the general aspects of jurisdiction. It focuses on Brussels 2012 and Lugano 2007, since Hague is concerned only with one special kind of jurisdiction. It shows that Brussels 2012 and Lugano 2007 are highly structured instruments. They have been carefully designed to provide a system of jurisdiction which enables the EU to function almost as if it were a single juridical unit. Though it has its flaws, it nevertheless constitutes a remarkable intellectual achievement. The discussions cover the theory of jurisdiction, exclusive and non-exclusive jurisdiction, the basic structure of Brussels and Lugano, determination of domicile under Brussels and Lugano, concept of residence under Hague, determination of domicile under UK law, nationality, declarations of non-liability (negative declarations); and the courts ‘for a place’ and the courts ‘of a Member State’.

This chapter examines the role of the United Nations (UN) in fulfilling the concept of intergenerational equity as it relates to ocean governance. The concept of intergenerational equity is inexorably linked to the principle of sustainable development. Three basic principles underpin intergenerational equity: conservation of options, conservation of quality, and conservation of access. The chapter first considers the concept of intergenerational equity within the context of sustainable development and environmental protection before discussing international conventions and soft law instruments including the principle of intergenerational equity. It then explains how the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) takes into account intergenerational equity and goes on to review national and international case-law concerning intergenerational equity and the rights of future generations. It also analyses constitutional and institutional protection of the rights of future generations and concludes with an assessment of UN approaches addressing the needs of future generations.

The author of this book has long been known as a reformist or moderate Islamist thinker. In this book he argues that the Universal Declaration of Human Rights—in its broad outlines—meets with wide acceptance among Muslims if their interpretation of Islamic law is correct. Under his theory of the purposes of Shariʻa, justice and human welfare are not exclusive to Islamic governance, and the objectives of Islamic law can be advanced in multiple ways. The book examines the Western concept of freedom and the Islamic perspective on freedom and human rights, basic democratic principles, the basic principles of an Islamic political system, the concept of tyranny across three different schools of thought, and concludes with an examination of the solutions in Islamic thought that can curb state tyranny, for the benefit of freedom, justice, and the human rights of citizens.

Section I tries to identify some of the hallmarks of legitimate expectations, as a general concept, and to say something as to how it might be contrasted from the concept of reasonable expectations. Section II outlines key features of the legal doctrine of legitimate expectations, including the ostensible purpose of the doctrine, the distinction between procedural and substantive legitimate expectations, the scope of the doctrine, the circumstances, ways, or modes of legitimate expectations coming into being, the place of reliance, the distinction between intra vires and ultra vires governmental conduct, and the underpinning legal values, ideals, or standards. Section III sets the scene for the Responsibility-Based Account. Section IV introduces the question of remedies for frustrated legitimate expectations, distinguishes between four basic approaches, and defends an approach of liability. Finally, Section V articulates in more detail the idea of normatively supporting or grounding principles of administrative justice.

Handbook of Brain Microcircuits comprehensively illustrates how the concept of microcircuits is emerging as one of the major organizing principles of the nervous system. A major challenge in neuroscience is to synthesize multidisciplinary data to give insight into brain function. The organization of neurons into microcircuits has emerged as a main theme to accomplish this. The wiring diagrams for these microcircuits are increasingly serving as canonical representations that enhance understanding of the basic functional organization of a region, focus experimental and theoretical tests of its functional properties, and facilitate comparisons with other regions.

This chapter provides a review of extraversion, defined as a dimension of personality reflecting individual differences in the tendencies to experience and exhibit positive affect, assertive behavior, decisive thinking, and desires for social attention. Extraversion is one of five basic tendencies in the Five Factor Model (FFM) of personality. In the FFM, basic tendencies are conceptualized as including the following characteristics. They are organized hierarchically, based in biology, develop over time according to intrinsic maturation principles, are manifested in characteristic adaptations (i.e., are expressed in affective, behavioral, and cognitive tendencies), influence one’s objective biography, are reflected in the self-concept, and have both adaptive and maladaptive variants. This chapter is organized around the theory and research on extraversion relevant to each of the aforementioned characteristics.

The research is devoted to the issues of economic content, the principles of evaluation, the peculiarities of the formation of the export potential of the agro-industrial complex. The monograph presents methods of comprehensive assessing export potential. A detailed review of the concept of export potential in contemporary economic research is carried out. The basic principles of the assessment of export potential are formulated. The assessment of the state and prospects of export development of the agroindustrial complex of the Russian Federation is given. A methodology for assessing the export potential of the agro-industrial complex is proposed. The application of the technique is illustrated by specific examples.

Critical Thinking in Clinical Research explains the fundamentals of clinical research in a case-based approach. The core concept is to combine a clear and concise transfer of information and knowledge with an engagement of the reader to develop a mastery of learning and critical thinking skills. The book addresses the main concepts of clinical research, basics of biostatistics, advanced topics in applied biostatistics, and practical aspects of clinical research, with emphasis on clinical relevance across all medical specialties. The goal of the book is to give a comprehensive and basic overview of the field of clinical research. This book has been designed on the experience of leading a large course in clinical research: the Principles and Practice in Clinical Research (PPCR), offered currently by Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health; it was written by PPCR collaborators together with PPCR faculty to reflect the collaborative learning concept of the course. The goal of this book is to provide a broad and applicable introduction into clinical research that allows the reader to understand, design, and conduct clinical research, specifically to critically read and understand scientific papers; to collect, analyze, and interpret research data in an unbiased fashion; to develop and design clinical studies; and to prepare, publish, and review scientific manuscripts. It is therefore written for scientists and clinicians who are new to the field of clinical research as well as those who wish to deepen, broaden, and update their clinical research skills.

“Meet Henry Bar, a physicist and … quantum superhero.” The title The Quantum Matrix refers to a central concept in quantum physics, but also (allegorically) to our enigmatic world. In this book, Henry Bar, physicist and the first quantum superhero, guides the reader through the amazing quantum world. Henry’s hair-raising adventures in his perilous struggle for quantum coherence are graphically depicted by comics and thoroughly explained to the lay reader. Behind each adventure lies a key concept in quantum physics. These concepts range from the basic quantum coherence and entanglement through tunneling and the recently discovered quantum decoherence control, to the principles of the emerging technologies of quantum communication and computing. The explanations of the concepts are popular, but nonetheless rigorous and detailed, and are followed by their broader context, their historic perspective, up-to-date status and forthcoming developments. Finally, thought-provoking philosophical and cultural implications of these concepts are discussed. The mathematical appendices of all chapters cover, in a straightforward manner, the core aspects of quantum physics at the level of a university introductory course. The Quantum Matrix presents an entertaining, popular yet comprehensive picture of quantum physics. It can be read as a light-hearted illustrated tale, a philosophical treatise or a textbook. Either way, the book lets the reader delve deeply into the wondrous quantum world from diverse perspectives and obtain glimpses into the quantum technologies that are about to reshape our lives. May the reader’s voyage through the quantum world charted by this book be both pleasant and rewarding.

This chapter reviews appropriate indications for advanced imaging, such as PET/CT, in the evaluation of breast cancer. An informed imaging approach is based on primary tumor size and pathological characteristics, as well as patient symptoms that may indicate a higher likelihood of metastatic disease. When evaluation for metastatic disease is indicated, survey imaging with CT, bone scintigraphy, abdominal MRI, brain MRI, and/or PET/CT can be used to establish disease burden, and to identify a biopsy target for pathological confirmation. We emphasize the evolving role of FDG PET/CT in this chapter, including basic principles of PET imaging, followed by a short section on image interpretation. Finally, the concept of using imaging as a response biomarker is introduced.

Charles Fornara was a pioneer in Herodotean studies by showing how deeply the Histories reflected on the political and intellectual conditions of the author’s own time, but he considered Book 2 as an exception, representing an early stage within Herodotus’ development. The aim of this paper is to show that Book 2 can be seen as a coherent part of the Histories as a whole, looking in particular at Herodotus’ geographic conception, the chronological order within his work, the basic elements of his ethnographic principles, and his approaches to a religious history. Eventually, the arrangement of his colourful stories about the Egyptian kings follows a deliberate concept. His analysis lets us see, once again, that Herodotus was fully conscious of the actual political situation of his own time.

This chapter examines the main arguments for John Rawls's ideas about justice. Rawls identified two principles as central to political liberalism: the principle of equal basic rights and liberties, and a principle of economic justice, which stresses equality of opportunity, mutual benefit, and egalitarianism. In Rawls's interpretation, these two principles take place ultimately in an ideal arena for decision-making, which he calls the ‘original position’. In time, Rawls became dissatisfied with this approach and began to reconfigure his theory, moving the focus towards a ‘family’ of liberal principles. The chapter begins by discussing Rawls's first and second principles before considering his concept of ‘original position’ as well as his views on overlapping consensus. It concludes with an analysis of the main ideas contained in Rawls's 1999 book, The Law of Peoples.

Herder’s early philosophy is widely seen as a project of destroying metaphysics and replacing it with anthropology. Through an analysis of two early texts, this chapter investigates the relationship of metaphysics and anthropology in the early Herder. It explains his attempt to in fact transform, and not destroy, metaphysics such that psychology, and no longer ontology, becomes the foundational discipline in philosophy. Metaphysics still possesses priority over anthropology, but only on condition that metaphysics be revised into a form of psychology that provides the basic concept of the human being and from which are to be borrowed the principles for a new philosophy of the education of the people. Only through reflection on the whole human being and on the cultural and historical ways of its realization can the deficiencies of philosophy be named and plans for its improvement worked out.

This article examines the use of analytic continua with spatial scaling and with potentially similar reifying effects to rationalize social meaning rather than just sound or sight in cultural sociology. It considers the use of the figure of spatial scaling as a point of entry to elucidate the basic logic by which many sociologists interpret the relation between what is culturally meaningful and what lies “outside” culture (or our concept of culture). Four case studies that illustrate how cultural practices generate meanings and reference in social life are presented: one relating to the creation of distinct color categories from the spectrum of hues in the rainbow as a paradigm for cultural analysis, and the other three relating to the views of Pierre Bourdieu, Randall Collins, and Philip Gorski. These four exemplars suggest that cultural sociology would benefit from dialogue with skeptical counter-principles for establishing—and questioning—our objects of explanation.

The roles of the hypothalamus in regulating fluid balance and supporting the calm affective state needed for maternal care are described. Hypothalamic control of hormone release is reviewed and related disorders such as Addison’s disease and acromegaly are introduced. Basic thermoregulatory principles are presented and the biological danger of ambient heat is emphasized. The concept of set point is explained in the context of fever, antipyresis and hyperthermia. Neural regulation of blood pressure and orthostatic hypotension are briefly described. The patterns and neural circuits involved in breathing during rest or while exercising or sleeping are detailed. A description of neural control of micturition is used to explain detrusor-sphincter dyssenergia secondary to spinal cord injury. The enteric nervous system is briefly described and Hirschsprung disease is introduced. Finally, the neural control of sleep, disorders of sleep-wake control, and von Economo’s discovery of encephalitis lethargica are detailed.

In this chapter, the focus is on the patient-centered interview as a basic tool that uses inherent principles of the biopsychosocial model to talk to patients. There are four key approaches to patient interviewing: the science of observation, following the affect, the concept of process, and the A.R.T. of interviewing. Observational skills can be refined to yield valuable clinical data. Follow-the-affect helps to guide the interview in relation to what the patient is feeling, and it acknowledges the importance of students’ abilities to keep track of their own feelings. The interview process segment holds there is a process level to all communication between people. The A.R.T. of interviewing attempts to offer a conceptual link between process and content. The mnemonic device refers to three components: assessment, rankings, and transition. Last, there is a section that offers clinical pearls, mnemonics, and tricks of the trade.

Different academic disciplines and schools of thoughts often have different definitions and categorizations of culture. No agreement has ever been reached in defining culture. This chapter discusses the concept of culture and reviews the basic principles of multidisciplinary cross-cultural research. The readers are introduced to cross-cultural research in anthropology, psychology, political science, and sociology. These cross-cultural research fields offer social work both theoretical and methodological resources. The readers will find that all cross-cultural research fields share the same concern—that is, the equivalence of research instruments. One cannot draw meaningful comparisons of behavioral problems, social values, or psychological status between or across different cultural groups in the absence of cross-culturally equivalent research instruments. Although this book emphasizes the importance of measurement equivalence in cross-cultural social work research and evaluation, the issues of cultural sensitivity and cultural appropriateness are the foundation of all types of social work research and interventions.

The book is aimed at people who learn programming on their own; it considers a wide range of issues, including introductory information, basic concepts and techniques of programming, the capabilities of the operating system kernel and the principles of its functioning, programming paradigms. It is supposed to use operating systems of the Unix family (including Linux) as an end-to-end working and training environment; a number of programming languages are considered: Pascal, assembly language (NASM), C, C++, Lisp, Scheme, Prolog, Hope and Tcl. The book includes information about the most important Unix system calls, including those for communication over computer networks; an introducton to the ncurses, FLTK and Tcl/Tk libraries is also given. The third volume ("Paradigms") contains general discussion on programming paradigms as a concept; object-oriented programming and abstract data types illustrated with C++; a part devoted to "immutable" computations, which introduces Lisp, Scheme, Prolog and illustrates lazy evaluations using the Hope language. The last part of the book discusses compiled and interpreted execution models as a special kind of programming paradigms; Tcl is used as an example of fully-interpreted language; Ousterhout's dichotomy is defined and explained.

End-stage renal disease (ESRD) is common clinical condition for which life-sustaining therapies fortunately exist. On a global basis, more than 2 million patients now receive chronic haemodialysis (HD) for treatment of ESRD. For the vast majority of these patients, treatment is provided in a dialysis unit on a thrice-weekly basis, although there is growing interest in alternative therapies which vary with respect to location or frequency. Based on the number of patients requiring chronic HD now and in the foreseeable future, it is imperative that nephrologists understand the basic principles underlying this treatment. The factors affecting the delivery of therapy in HD can substantially be divided into two groups: (a) factors affecting the performance of the dialytic technique, which are primarily related to the characteristics of the parameters involved in the dialytic technique; and (b) factors affecting the clinical results of a given technique, which are primarily related to the interaction between the water and solute removal capacity of the technique and the kinetics of water and solutes within the human body. In this group, factors including staff compliance with the orders, patient compliance with prescribed time, and the patient’s physical condition are also important.The focus of this chapter is the technical aspects of chronic HD prescription and delivery. After a brief review of the major components of the HD system (machine and extracorporeal circuit), the principles underlying solute and water removal are reviewed. The concept of clearance is then assessed, with particular emphasis on the determinants of small solute clearance with respect both to the dialyser and the patient.

The aim of the e-book is to present the theoretical, cognitive and practical aspects of the essence and complexity of operational management in a production company. The presented modern production methods together with the challenges and problems of contemporary enterprises should better help to understand the issues of sustainable development, with particular emphasis on waste. The book consists of six chapters devoted to relevant and topic issues relating to the core business of an industrial enterprise. Chapter 1 The nature of the industrial enterprise is an introduction to further considerations and deals with the essence of the basic aspects of the company. Both popular and less known definitions of an enterprise, its features, functions and principles of operation are presented. An important part of the chapter is the presentation and formulation of strategic, tactical and operational goals. Moreover, the division of enterprises is presented with the use of various criteria and the features of the industrial market, which make it distinct. Chapter 2 The operational management evolution and its role in the industrial enterprise discusses the evolution and concept of production and operational management. The management levels were also presented, indicating their most important functions. An integral part of the chapter is the essence of the production system, viewed through the prism of the five elements. Chapter 3 Functions and role in operations management presents the issues concerning the organization of production processes, production capacity and inventory management. This part also presents considerations on cooperation and collaboration between enterprises in the process of creating value. Chapter 4 Traditional methods used in operational activities focuses on methods such as benchmarking, outsourcing, core competences, JIT, MPR I and MRP II, as well as TQM and kaizen. Knowledge of these methods should contribute to understanding the activities of modern enterprises, the way of company functioning, the realization of production activities, as well as aspects related to building a competitive position. Chapter 5 Modern methods used in production-operations management discusses the less common and less frequently used production methods, based on a modern and innovative approach. In particular, it was focused on: Shop Floor Control and cooperative manufacturing, environment-conscious manufacturing (ECM) and life-cycle assessment ( LCA), waste management and recycling, Electronic Data Interchange (EDI), virtual enterprise, World Class Manufacturing (WCM), Quality Function Deployment (QFD) and House of Quality (HOQ), theory of constraints (TOC), Drum Buffer Rope (DBR), group technology (GT) and cellular manufacturing (CM), Demand Chain Management and competitive intelligence (CI). In the last section discusses: the role of sustainable statistical process control and Computer-Aided Process Planning in context formatting of information management. Chapter 6 Problems of sustainable development and challenges related to production and operations management describes the problem and challenges related to production and operations activities. In particular, attention was paid to the threats related to changes in global warming, the growing scale of waste, or the processes of globalization. It was pointed out that the emerging problem may be both a threat and a chance for the development of enterprises. An integral part of the chapter are also considerations on technical progress, innovation and the importance of human capital in operational activities.

The monograph reflects the problems of Russian psycholinguistics from the moment of its inception in Russia to the present day and presents its main directions that are currently developing. In addition, theoretical developments and practical results obtained in the framework of different directions and research centers are described in a concise form. The task of the book is to reflect, as far as it is possible in one edition, firstly, the history of the formation of Russian psycholinguistics; secondly, its methodology and developed methods; thirdly, the results obtained in different research centers and directions in different regions of Russia; fourthly, to outline the main directions of the further development of Russian psycholinguistics. There is no doubt that in the theoretical, methodological and applied aspects, the main problems and the results of their development by Russian psycholinguistics have no analogues in world linguistics and psycholinguistics, or are represented by completely original concepts and methods. We have tried to show this uniqueness of the problematics and the methodological equipment of Russian psycholinguistics in this book. The main role in the formation of Russian psycholinguistics was played by the Moscow psycholinguistic school of A.A. Leontyev. It still defines the main directions of Russian psycholinguistics. Russian psycholinguistics (the theory of speech activity - TSA) is based on the achievements of Russian psychology: a cultural-historical approach to the analysis of mental phenomena L.S. Vygotsky and the system-activity approach of A.N. Leontyev. Moscow is the most "psycholinguistic region" of Russia - INL RAS, Moscow State University, Moscow State Linguistic University, RUDN, Moscow State Pedagogical University, Moscow State Pedagogical University, Sechenov University, Moscow State University and other Moscow universities. Saint Petersburg psycholinguists have significant achievements, especially in the study of neurolinguistic problems, ontolinguistics. The most important feature of Russian psycholinguistics is the widespread development of psycholinguistics in the regions, the emergence of recognized psycholinguistic research centers - St. Petersburg, Tver, Saratov, Perm, Ufa, Omsk, Novosibirsk, Voronezh, Yekaterinburg, Kursk, Chelyabinsk; psycholinguistics is represented in Cherepovets, Ivanovo, Volgograd, Vyatka, Kaluga, Krasnoyarsk, Irkutsk, Vladivostok, Abakan, Maikop, Barnaul, Ulan-Ude, Yakutsk, Syktyvkar, Armavir and other cities; in Belarus - Minsk, in Ukraine - Lvov, Chernivtsi, Kharkov, in the DPR - Donetsk, in Kazakhstan - Alma-Ata, Chimkent. Our researchers work in Bulgaria, Hungary, Vietnam, China, France, Switzerland. There are Russian psycholinguists in Canada, USA, Israel, Austria and a number of other countries. All scientists from these regions and countries have contributed to the development of Russian psycholinguistics, to the development of psycholinguistic theory and methods of psycholinguistic research. Their participation has not been forgotten. We tried to present the main Russian psycholinguists in the Appendix - in the sections "Scientometrics", "Monographs and Manuals" and "Dissertations", even if there is no information about them in the Electronic Library and RSCI. The principles of including scientists in the scientometric list are presented in the Appendix. Our analysis of the content of the resulting monograph on psycholinguistic research in Russia allows us to draw preliminary conclusions about some of the distinctive features of Russian psycholinguistics: 1. cultural-historical approach to the analysis of mental phenomena of L.S.Vygotsky and the system-activity approach of A.N. Leontiev as methodological basis of Russian psycholinguistics; 2. theoretical nature of psycholinguistic research as a characteristic feature of Russian psycholinguistics. Our psycholinguistics has always built a general theory of the generation and perception of speech, mental vocabulary, linked specific research with the problems of ontogenesis, the relationship between language and thinking; 3. psycholinguistic studies of speech communication as an important subject of psycholinguistics; 4. attention to the psycholinguistic analysis of the text and the development of methods for such analysis; 5. active research into the ontogenesis of linguistic ability; 6. investigation of linguistic consciousness as one of the important subjects of psycholinguistics; 7. understanding the need to create associative dictionaries of different types as the most important practical task of psycholinguistics; 8. widespread use of psycholinguistic methods for applied purposes, active development of applied psycholinguistics. The review of the main directions of development of Russian psycholinguistics, carried out in this monograph, clearly shows that the direction associated with the study of linguistic consciousness is currently being most intensively developed in modern Russian psycholinguistics. As the practice of many years of psycholinguistic research in our country shows, the subject of study of psycholinguists is precisely linguistic consciousness - this is a part of human consciousness that is responsible for generating, understanding speech and keeping language in consciousness. Associative experiments are the core of most psycholinguistic techniques and are important both theoretically and practically. The following main areas of practical application of the results of associative experiments can be outlined. 1. Education. Associative experiments are the basis for constructing Mind Maps, one of the most promising tools for systematizing knowledge, assessing the quality, volume and nature of declarative knowledge (and using special techniques and skills). Methods based on smart maps are already widely used in teaching foreign languages, fast and deep immersion in various subject areas. 2. Information search, search optimization. The results of associative experiments can significantly improve the quality of information retrieval, its efficiency, as well as adaptability for a specific person (social group). When promoting sites (promoting them in search results), an associative experiment allows you to increase and improve the quality of the audience reached. 3. Translation studies, translation automation. An associative experiment can significantly improve the quality of translation, take into account intercultural and other social characteristics of native speakers. 4. Computational linguistics and automatic word processing. The results of associative experiments make it possible to reveal the features of a person's linguistic consciousness and contribute to the development of automatic text processing systems in a wide range of applications of natural language interfaces of computer programs and robotic solutions. 5. Advertising. The use of data on associations for specific words, slogans and texts allows you to predict and improve advertising texts. 6. Social relationships. The analysis of texts using the data of associative experiments makes it possible to assess the tonality of messages (negative / positive moods, aggression and other characteristics) based on user comments on the Internet and social networks, in the press in various projections (by individuals, events, organizations, etc.) from various social angles, to diagnose the formation of extremist ideas. 7. Content control and protection of personal data. Associative experiments improve the quality of content detection and filtering by identifying associative fields in areas subject to age restrictions, personal information, tobacco and alcohol advertising, incitement to ethnic hatred, etc. 8. Gender and individual differences. The data of associative experiments can be used to compare the reactions (and, in general, other features of thinking) between men and women, different social and age groups, representatives of different regions. The directions for the further development of Russian psycholinguistics from the standpoint of the current state of psycholinguistic science in the country are seen by us, first of all:  in the development of research in various areas of linguistic consciousness, which will contribute to the development of an important concept of speech as a verbal model of non-linguistic consciousness, in which knowledge revealed by social practice and assigned by each member of society during its inculturation is consolidated for society and on its behalf;  in the expansion of the problematics, which is formed under the influence of the growing intercultural communication in the world community, which inevitably involves the speech behavior of natural and artificial bilinguals in the new object area of psycholinguistics;  in using the capabilities of national linguistic corpora in the interests of researchers studying the functioning of non-linguistic and linguistic consciousness in speech processes;  in expanding research on the semantic perception of multimodal texts, the scope of which has greatly expanded in connection with the spread of the Internet as a means of communication in the life of modern society;  in the inclusion of the problems of professional communication and professional activity in the object area of psycholinguistics in connection with the introduction of information technologies into public practice, entailing the emergence of new professions and new features of the professional ethos;  in the further development of the theory of the mental lexicon (identifying the role of different types of knowledge in its formation and functioning, the role of the word as a unit of the mental lexicon in the formation of the image of the world, as well as the role of the natural / internal metalanguage and its specificity in speech activity);  in the broad development of associative lexicography, which will meet the most diverse needs of society and cognitive sciences. The development of associative lexicography may lead to the emergence of such disciplines as associative typology, associative variantology, associative axiology;  in expanding the spheres of applied use of psycholinguistics in social sciences, sociology, semasiology, lexicography, in the study of the brain, linguodidactics, medicine, etc. This book is a kind of summarizing result of the development of Russian psycholinguistics today. Each section provides a bibliography of studies on the relevant issue. The Appendix contains the scientometrics of leading Russian psycholinguists, basic monographs, psycholinguistic textbooks and dissertations defended in psycholinguistics. The content of the publications presented here is convincing evidence of the relevance of psycholinguistic topics and the effectiveness of the development of psycholinguistic problems in Russia.
