O presente artigo tem como objetivo acompanhar os discursos sobre a lepra na imprensa da cidade de Diamantina, Minas Gerais, especificamente no jornal católico Pão de Santo Antônio, entre os anos de 1930 e 1934, período em que estava sendo estruturada a política de isolamento compulsório dos acometidos pela doença. A intenção é mostrar que, antes de ser elevada à condição de “flagelo nacional” e se tornar alvo de políticas públicas de saúde, a assistência aos doentes ficou a cargo de instituições privadas confessionais ou laicas, destacadamente das Sociedades de Assistência aos Lázaros e Defesa contra a Lepra. Criada incialmente em São Paulo, a instituição se expandiu por vários estados do Brasil, inclusive para Minas Gerais, em 1931. Argumentamos que a imprensa foi um veículo importante no processo de legitimar as políticas de controle da lepra, de modo especial o isolamento compulsório, já que por ela circularam representações que atribuíram um significado à doença repleto de conotações pejorativas, contribuindo para sua difusão e incorporação ao imaginário social.

Published: August 2022

O presente trabalho busca refletir sobre o posicionamento e os escritos de Thomas Mann no período da ascensão nazista e da Segunda Guerra Mundial. Cabe ressaltar que o autor havia lançado mão de um posicionamento nacionalista em seus escritos políticos ao longo da Primeira Guerra Mundial, no entanto, o movimento de Hitler o fez aprofundar a reformulação de suas ideias, processo que já havia se iniciado na década de 1920. No texto, busco enfatizar as críticas de Mann ao nazismo e sua atuação como figura de destaque na literatura alemã. Para este fim, analiso seus discursos contra Hitler, que foram transmitidos para a Alemanha através da BBC de Londres no período em que o autor já se encontrava no exílio.

Published: August 2022

This paper discusses the different teaching-learning styles and how they can be applied to university education. It is a common misconception that there are only three learning styles: visual, auditory, and kinesthetic. There are nine different learning styles that can be applied to university teaching-learning. With a literature review, these nine different learning styles and how they can be used in the classroom setting will be explored. In addition, teaching techniques and strategies in a university education will be explored. The importance of these techniques and how they can be improved will also be discussed, considering three different methods: active learning, collaborative learning, and self-directed learning, taking into account the integration of technology in its design. Finally, a dissertation will be made on the new forms of teaching for the training of professionals for industry 4.0 and the new labor demands.

Introduction. The work was completed on the remediation of dumps located in the area of nine tunnels of mine No. 1 of the Lermontov production association “Almaz” over 2014-2015. The article presents the results of a study of the radiation situation on these dumps five years after the remediation. Materials and methods. During the survey, the methods of pedestrian gamma survey were used using a portable spectrometric complex MKS-01A “Multirad-M” and soil sampling with subsequent measurement of the specific activity of radionuclides using a stationary gamma spectrometer manufactured by CANBERRA. The activity of 210Po and 210Pb was measured using a UMF-2000 radiometric setup after their radiochemical isolation. Results. After the remediation of the dump areas, where gamma ambient dose equivalent rate exceeds 0.5 μSv/h, areas significantly decreased and do not exceed 10% of the total dump area, with the exception of the dumps of tunnel No. 42. On the territory of all surveyed dumps, except for dumps of tunnels No. 10 and No. 26, there are areas where gamma ambient dose equivalent rate exceeds 0.6 μSv/h, which is prohibited in accordance with the adopted remediation criteria. Not all tunnel mouths are isolated. Limitations. It is assumed that comparing the content of radionuclides in soil with the criteria for classifying them as solid radioactive waste 238U and 230Th are in secular equilibrium. Measurements of the total alpha-activity in the soil and comparison with the recultivation criteria for this parameter were not carried out. Conclusion. At present, the radiation situation in some areas of all surveyed reclaimed dumps, except for the dumps of tunnels No. 10 and No. 26, does not meet the requirements established in the remediation project.

Published: August 2022

Introduction. In occupational pathology, the study of functional disorders of the peripheral nervous system in various occupational diseases has been used for many years. The study of structural changes of nerves is described only in isolated publications. At the same time, a comprehensive structural and functional approach allows expanding the possibilities of differential diagnosis of vibration neuropathies. The aim of the study was to investigate structural and functional disorders of the peripheral nervous system in miners with vibration disease due to the exposure of local vibration. Materials and methods. One hundred thirty-six miners with a proven diagnosis of vibration disease due to the exposure of local vibration and 60 people who had never worked under the conditions of exposure to industrial vibration were examined. All respondents underwent a comprehensive electroneuromyographic and ultrasound investigation of the peripheral nerves of the upper extremities. Results. The study revealed both functional disorders of peripheral nerves in the form of predominantly distal polyneuropathy of the upper extremities and structural changes in the form of local nerve thickening at the level of anatomical tunnels. At the same time, the correlation between the changed functional and structural indices was determined. In 47.1% of the miners, vibration polyneuropathies was found to be complicated by nerve compression. Limitations. The investigation is limited to the study of electrophysiological and sonographic characteristics of the peripheral nervous system in 136 patients with vibration disease due to local vibration exposure. Conclusion. Complex electroneuromyographic and ultrasound investigation of the nerves of the upper extremities in the patients with vibration disease allows identifying compression neuropathies in the form of a combination of local nerve thickening and impaired conduction at the tunnel level, and also provides new opportunities for differential diagnosis of vibration polyneuropathies.

Published: August 2022

Introduction. Obesity and cardiovascular diseases are closely related and have a high prevalence in the global population. Workers of coal mining enterprises have an increased risk of developing these pathological conditions due to working conditions and employment schedules. Social and household factors and an unhealthy lifestyle can have a negative impact on metabolic processes that lead to obesity. In this regard, the search for risk factors for these diseases and the elaboration of a prevention system based on them to preserve the health of working groups of the population are relevant. Materials and methods. The study involved three hundred eighty-five workers of coal enterprises in the South of Kuzbass including 244 miners and 141 coal pit workers. The mean age was 46.35±0.34 and 46.98±0.36 years, respectively, p=0.231. The social and household aspects and lifestyle of the workers were revealed by the questionnaire method. Ultrasound investigation of vessels was performed on the General Electric Vivid E9 system. Results. The prevalence of atherosclerosis in obese workers employed in coal pits was higher than in persons with normal weight: 58.8% vs. 40.0%, p=0.035; no such pattern was found among miners. In coal pit workers with arterial hypertension, abdominal obesity was detected in 90.9% of the cases and in 67.0% (p=0.0004) in underground miners. The studied social and household factors, except for hypodynamia, had no a significant impact on the development of obesity. Limitations. The investigation did not include individuals with proven familial hypercholesterolemia, inflammatory vascular diseases and diabetes mellitus. Conclusion. Constitutional obesity increased the atherosclerosis risk in coal pit workers and did not affect on its prevalence in underground miners. Abdominal obesity did not contribute to an increase in the prevalence of atherosclerosis among the examined subjects, but increased the risk of arterial hypertension. Among the studied social and household factors, a significant role in the development of constitutional obesity in coal pit workers is rendered by hypodynamia during non-working hours.

Published: August 2022

In the changing internal and external conditions, maintenance of a constant internal environment – homeostasis – plays a significant role in the proper functioning of the organism. Kidneys play a key role in the homeostasis of glucose, in which the sodium-dependent glucose co-transporters contribute to renal glucose reabsorption. Although the localisation of Na+-glucose co-transporters has been extensively covered in animals’ kidneys, the localisation of the transporters in birds’ kidneys is still understudied. The purpose of this study was to immunolocalise the sodium-dependent co-transporters SGLT1 and SGLT2 in kidneys of ostrich chickens of different ages. In the study, kidney material derived from fifteen ostriches was divided equally into three age groups – 1-, 7-, and 14-days-old ostrich chickens. The polyclonal antibodies Rabbit antiSGLT1 and Rabbit anti-SGLT2 (Abcam, UK) served as primary antibodies and were used together with the IHC kit (Abcam, UK). With the AxioCam HRc camera (Germany) connected to the microscope Zeiss Axioplan-2 Imaging (Germany), the photos were taken and saved to the computer. As the result of the study on ostrich chickens of different ages, SGLT1 was noted to be localised in the renal straight proximal tubules and SGLT2 in the proximal convoluted tubules of nephron. The immunohistochemical locations of sodium-dependent glucose co-transporters revealed to be similar in ostriches’ kidneys of all age groups. The staining for SGLT2 was noted to be more intensive compared to the staining for SGLT1. As avian kidneys have unique morphological and functional features compared to animals, it is recommended that further studies would be performed on the renal tissue of different avian species

Published: August 2022

A considerable share in the formation of food security of the population is occupied by the poultry industry, which is one of the most economically attractive and competitive, as evidenced by the annual steady growth dynamics of the production of valuable food products – poultry meat and eggs, characterised by high nutritional value, excellent dietary and taste qualities. The increase in poultry production leads, respectively, to the intensification of production on the one hand, and on the other hand – the accumulation of waste due to an increase in the number of poultry. One of the priority areas for solving the problem of environmental safety in the poultry industry is the processing of animal by-products through enzymatic fermentation, which yields an added energy product and organic-mineral fertiliser, thereby preventing methane emissions into the atmosphere, and therefore global warming. Therefore, the search for ways to intensify the methane output from chicken manure upon anaerobic fermentation, namely by adding various substances, was the purpose of the planned study. The experiment was conducted using laboratory, analytical, and mathematical-statistical methods. According to the results of experimental studies, a positive effect of FeO, Fe2O3 was established, Basidiomycota fungal-based bio-compositions, biologics – Meganit Nirbator, Reduklin T, Reduklin Compost and a complex preparation for activating enzymatic processes in chicken manure on the processes of anaerobic bio-fermentation and growth of methane content (CH4) from chicken manure (in vitro) against the background of an increase in the pH value to 9.05-9.3 with a simultaneous lower level of carbon dioxide (CO2). Best results for increasing the volume of CH4 output from the fermented substrate, by 15.7-18.8%, was observed in variants with a complex preparation for activating enzymatic processes in chicken manure. Application of Basidiomycota fungal-based bio-composition contributes to an increase in methane emissions from the test substrate by 5.4-9.6%, and biologics – Meganit Nirbator, Reduklin T and Reduklin Compost cause an increase in the volume of this gas output, respectively, by 5.6-9.4%, 9.5-14.2%, and 7.1-12%. Adding FeO and Fe2O3 to chicken manure causes an increase in the level of CH4 emissions by 4.1-7.4% and 5.8-11.2%, respectively. Thus, the results obtained indicate the expediency of using the studied substances in the processing of chicken manure in biogas plants to intensify the methane yield, which will minimise the adverse impact of intensive management of the poultry industry on the state of the environment

Published: August 2022

The use of complex microfertilisers on a chelated basis in agricultural technologies of the main crops is limited due to the lack of clear recommendations on the norm, methods, and timing of their use in particular production conditions and the levels of expected yield increase. Based on the rather specific mechanism of action of drugs, these recommendations are adjusted by investigating the level of reaction of plants and crops in particular zonal and weather conditions. The purpose of this study was to establish the reaction of soybean varieties to foliar top-dressing with complex Vuksal Microplant microfertiliser. Scientific research was conducted according to the field method during 2019-2021. According to the scheme of the experiment, the following varieties were investigated: Krynytsia, ES Hladiator, Melodiia, Korona, Feieriia, Etiud, Sava, Orfei, Everest, which are classified as early-maturing. The crop was fertilised according to the following variants: N15P30K40; N15P30K40+1 Vuksal Microplant top-dressing and N15P30K40+2 Vuksal Microplant top-dressing. According to the tasks of experimental studies, the field germination rate of seeds was identified by calculating the density of plants in the phase of full germination for all repetitions of the experiment; phenological observations were made in variants of the experiment using the method of variety testing of agricultural crops; the leaf surface area was determined according to the clear-cutting method and the yield was established according to the weight method using direct combining of each site. Statistical processing of experimental data was performed using the Microsoft Excel and Statistica 10.0 application software package. A variant of the fertiliser system was established, which provides a substantial impact on soybean yield and a variety that formed stable productivity over years with changing weather conditions. Based on the results of the study, it is recommended to grow the Etiud soybean variety in production crops with culture fertilisation according to the system of applying macroelements at the rate of N15P30K40 and performing two top-dressings with the Vuksal Microplant complex fertiliser on a chelate basis at the rate of 2 l/ha. The first spraying should be carried out in the phase of 2 ternate leaves (BBCH 13-14), and the second in the phase of bean formation (BBCH 70-71)

Published: August 2022

The study on environmental sustainability and perception of safety of vaccination in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic has been relevant for a long time and has been caused by people’s concerns and fears about the consequences of the vaccination procedure. This paper provides a detailed analysis of approaches to determining environmental sustainability and emphasises the urgent need to maintain human health in a pandemic. Thus, the purpose of this study is to empirically investigate the readiness for vaccination against COVID-19 as a condition of environmental sustainability. The subject of the study is the environmental factors of readiness for vaccination against COVID-19. A set of methods and techniques were used to achieve this purpose, namely theoretical research methods, surveys, associative method, content analysis, methods of mathematical statistics using SPSS 23.0 and ArcGis. The paper presents the results of an empirical study of environmental sustainability and perception of safety of vaccination during pandemic, such as a comparative analysis of the sense of security of supporters and opponents of vaccination. The results of an empirical study of environmental sustainability and perception of safety of vaccination in a pandemic is provided. It was established that there are age and gender differences between proponents and opponents of vaccination. It was determined that subjects who were wary of vaccination did not consider COVID-19 to be a source of personal threat. The results of associations for the word-stimulus “danger” were analysed. There were differences in deep subconscious beliefs of danger in those who plan to be vaccinated and those who question vaccination. It was determined that the proponents of vaccination consider the general unavoidable external circumstances as a danger, and its opponents consider the very COVID-19 vaccination as such. Statistically significant differences were found between the sense of security in different areas of life in those who consider COVID-19 a danger and those for whom COVID-19 is not a source of concern. A prognostic portrait of a resident of Ukraine who is ready and willing to be vaccinated is presented. The obtained empirical results are of scientific value for researching the psychological characteristics of individual attitudes towards safe environmental sustainability and can be used in the development and implementation of programmes to work with people suffering from internal feelings of danger for their health caused by external circumstances

Authors: Mudrak Oleksandr , Mahdiichuk Anna
Published: August 2022

The current state of the environment caused by irrational nature management necessitates the search for new approaches in the field of restoration and protection of biotic and landscape diversity. The new strategy for its protection is an ecological network that is being developed in Ukraine according to European requirements at the national, regional, and local levels. An integral part of the national eco-network is the territory of Podillia, for which an important topical issue is increasing the productivity of ecosystems and stabilising the ecological balance. One of the ways to optimise the regional eco-network of Podillia is to search for promising territories and include them in structural elements that will ensure its spatial integrity and representativeness. The most common objects of mining and industrial landscapes are quarrydump complexes that are original in their origin, structure, conditions, natural properties, spatial location, features of the geological structure, the nature of the biotic-landscape structure, and economic development. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to identify and describe the specific features of mining and industrial landscapes that require a set of measures for renaturalisation (reclamation, restoration of natural vegetation, reintroduction, etc.) within the latitudinal Buzhotsko-Buzko-Vovksko-Smotrytskyi eco-corridor of the regional eco-network of Podillia. General scientific (analysis, synthesis), laboratory and field methods, monitoring, comparison and statistical processing methods were used in this study. Factors of influence for the restoration of disturbed ecosystems of mining and industrial landscapes of Podillia were determined on the example of the Andriikovetskyi sand quarry and dump complex. It is established that edaphic conditions, elemental composition and organic matter content in the newly formed substrate, atypical relief, which differs sharply from the natural one, have the greatest influence. With the implementation of a set of measures for renaturalisation, the proposed quarry-dump complex can become a centre of zonal biodiversity as a renewable site – as a structural element of the regional eco-network

Introduction

Acute coronary syndrome represents a major cause of mortality throughout the world. To date, there are only a few reports of ST-segment elevation type 1 myocardial infarction in patients with COVID-19. The aim of this study was to describe the clinical and angiographic characteristics alongside the prediction of in-hospital mortality using the GRACE risk score in this group.

Material and methods

This was a single-center, retrospective study of consecutive patients admitted to a multi-specialist hospital with confirmed ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention. Demographic, clinical and angiographic characteristics were compared between survivors and non-survivors.

Results

Twenty-five patients, of whom 23 (92%) were men, with confirmed STEMI and COVID-19, with a median age of 70 years and high comorbidity burden, were included in this study. They were treated with percutaneous coronary intervention and 12 (48%) of them died. Non-survivors had elevated high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) (p = 0.026) and D-dimer (p = 0.042) and reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (30 ±9 vs. 41 ±7; p = 0.003). Postprocedural TIMI 3 flow grade was less frequently observed in this group (p = 0.039). There was a higher GRACE score in the non-survivor group (mean ± SD; 210 ±35 vs. 169 ±42, p = 0.014). In ROC analysis, GRACE score predicted in-hospital death with an AUC of 0.788 (95% CI: 0.6–0.98, p = 0.014). A score of 176 was identified as the optimal cut-off with a sensitivity of 92% and specificity of 69%.

Conclusions

The GRACE risk score is a good predictor of in-hospital mortality in patients presenting with STEMI with concomitant COVID-19.

Introduction

Partial splenic endovascular embolization (PSEE) could be an option for patients with thrombocytopaenia (TCP). We selected a group of 22 patients diagnosed with refractory TCP to undergo PSEE, and we followed them for detailed analysis.

Material and methods

Twenty-two patients aged 27-75 years (mean 46.5 ± 3.5 years) underwent PSEE, and 5 participants underwent a second PSEE due to the lack of effectiveness after the first procedure. A total of 27 PSEEs were performed. A semi-quantitative scale was used to assess the severity of the post-embolization syndrome. The percentage of spleen parenchyma excluded from circulation was 30-70%. We used the mixture of Histoacryl N-butyl cyanoacry­late glue and Lipiodol in 10 cases, spirals in 10 cases, and polyvinyl alcohol in 7 cases, for the embolization.

Results

The mean value of platelet count (PLT) before procedure increased from 22.0 ± 15.0 to 87.7 ± 67.9 (p < 0.05) in a mean period of 194 days. In 2 cases severe post-embolization syndrome was observed. Closure less than 50% of the spleen circulation was associated with poorly expressed post-embolization symptoms. Serious complications occurred in 1 patient (3.5%). A strong positive correlation (r = 0.8, p < 0.05) was found between C-reactive protein (CRP) and the severity of post-embolization syndrome. Increased symptoms of post-embolization syndrome were also associated with a significant increase in hospitalization time – 27.0 vs. 7.2 days (r = 0.66, p < 0.05).

Conclusions

Partial endovascular embolization of the spleen (PSEE) may be a valuable therapeutic option for patients with refractory TCP. PSEE is a safe method with a low complication rate.

Introduction

To compare the diagnostic performance of 3.0 T and 1.5 T MRI in the staging of prostate cancer.

Material and methods

English-language studies on the diagnostic accuracy of 3.0 T and 1.5 T MRI in prostate cancer staging published through May 2020 were searched for in relevant databases. The focus was on studies in which both 3.0 T and 1.5 T MRI were performed in the study population, to reduce interstudy heterogeneity. Pooled sensitivity, specificity, diagnostic odds ratio (DOR), and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve were determined for 3.0 T and for 1.5 T along with 95% confidence intervals (CIs).

Results

Out of 8 studies identified, 4 met the inclusion criteria. 3.0 T (n = 160) had a pooled sensitivity of 69.5%
(95% CI: 56.4-80.1%) and a pooled specificity of 48.8% (95% CI: 6.0-93.4%), while 1.5 T (n = 139) had a pooled sensitivity of 70.6% (95% CI: 55.0-82.5%; p = 0.91) and a pooled specificity of 41.7% (95% CI: 6.2-88.6%; p = 0.88). The pooled DOR for 3.0 T was 3 (95% CI: 0-26.0%), while the pooled DOR for 1.5 T was 2 (95% CI: 0-18.0%), which was not a significant difference (p = 0.89).

Conclusions

3.0 T has slightly better diagnostic performance than 1.5 T MRI in prostate cancer staging (3 vs. 2), although without statistical significance. Our findings suggest the need for larger, randomized trials directly comparing 3.0 T and 1.5 T MRI in prostate cancer.
