Assessing individual motivation for consuming diverse food groups over a two-week period
Authors: Werner Johanna , Kloidt Juliane , Barsalou Lawrence
Published: November 2022

When attempting to lose weight or adopt a more sustainable diet, most people struggle considerably to permanently change their eating behaviour. To develop novel interventions needed to help participants achieve their goals, it is first necessary to understand what motivates individual consumption. In the present study, we assessed individual consumption motivation in 70 participants for 16 diverse food groups across 5 time points over a two-week period. Participants were recruited to take part in an online survey. Across time points, participants rated the 16 food groups 5 times, first, on 2 dependent variables (consumption frequency and portion size), and second, on 6 potential motives that could predict consumption (enjoyment of taste, fillingness, healthiness, automaticity, emotional satisfaction, and self-identity). The two dependent variables were later combined by calculating their product to create a single dependent variable for consumption. Of interest was firstly to assess whether implicit learning effects emerged, specifically an increase in correlation strength between dependent variable and predictors from timepoint 1 to timepoint 5. Second, using G-Theory and intraclass correlations, we assessed the stability of each individual’s consumption motives over time. We also established the motives that best explained each individual’s consumption and how much variance they explained. Lastly, we assessed how much insight individuals have into their consumption motives. We found significant implicit learning effects in the association of consumption with healthiness, self-identity and filligness. Across the five time points, participants consumption motives remained remarkably stable. We observed large individual differences in motivation for consumption across participants. Finally, participants exhibited little awareness of their consumption motives as captured by their implicit motivation judgments. To our knowledge this is the first study to establish the stability of situated consumption motivation over time. Our results furthermore provide possible starting points for novel interventions, empathising the importance of individualised instead of ‘one size fits all’ approaches.
Retention of new words learned incidentally from reading: Word exposure frequency, L1 marginal glosses, and their combination
Authors: Teng Mark Feng
Published: November 2022

This article examines the influence of different reading conditions (i.e. reading only and reading with first language marginal glosses), number of word encounters (one, three, and seven) while reading, and combinations of these two variables on new word retention. This study considered a total of six possible combinations. Six groups of Chinese learners of English as a foreign language (EFL) (n = 240) were randomly selected and each assigned to a condition including 15 target lexical items. Each treatment session lasted for 5 weeks. One delayed test, containing four dimensions of vocabulary knowledge, was intended to measure learners’ retention of unknown words. The delayed test was administered 2 weeks after the experiment and was not disclosed to the learners in advance. The groups whose reading was accompanied by first-language (L1) marginal glosses scored significantly higher than the reading-only groups. The increased effectiveness of repeatedly encountering target lexical items was more pronounced in the reading experiment including L1 marginal glosses. The combination of L1 marginal glosses and seven encounters was found to be the most effective combination for lexical item retention. This study highlighted the effectiveness of repeatedly encountering target words and being provided with L1 marginal glosses to retain new words incidentally learned from reading. The conditions and relevant teaching implications are discussed in this study.
Interactive-whiteboard-technology-supported collaborative writing: Writing achievement, metacognitive activities, and co-regulation patterns
Authors: Teng Mark Feng
Published: November 2022

Interactive whiteboard technology is a helpful tool for learning to write. However, collaborative writing among English language learners using this technology remains underexplored. This study considers the potential effects of collaborative writing sup- ported by interactive whiteboard technology on students’ writing performance. A total of 120 students who learned English as a foreign language (EFL) participated in this study. Quantitative results revealed that interactive whiteboard technology integrated with collaborative writing instruction resulted in greater improvement in students’ writing performance, followed by traditional whiteboardeintegrated collaborative writing and traditional collaborative writing instruction without whiteboard technology. Qualitative results further suggested that the patterns and timing of metacognitive activities varied across the three groups. Learners receiving interactive whiteboardeintegrated collabora- tive writing instruction exhibited higher levels of metacognitive activities and were more engaged in coregulation. Implications for using interactive whiteboardeintegrated collaborative writing to promote writing instruction are discussed.
Metacognitive Strategies, Language Learning Motivation, Self-Efficacy Belief, and English Achievement During Remote Learning: A Structural Equation Modelling Approach
Authors: Teng Mark Feng
Published: November 2022

Metacognitive strategies, language learning motivation, and self-efficacy belief are crucial to online or remote learning success. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the interrelationship among metacognitive strategies, language learning motivation, self-efficacy belief, and English learn- ing achievement. The data were collected from three surveys and an English test. The participants were 590 Chinese university students. The findings revealed that self-efficacy belief predicts English learning achievement. In particular, metacognitive strategies and language learning motiva- tion mediate the predictive effects of self-efficacy belief on English learning achievement. The find- ings show the potential of enhancing online English learning achievement by facilitating learners’ self-efficacy belief, motivation, and metacognitive strategies. Implications can be gained for remote learning within and beyond the coronavirus (COVID-19) context.
Predictive Effects of Writing Strategies for Self-Regulated Learning on Secondary School Learners’ EFL Writing Proficiency
Authors: Teng Mark Feng
Published: November 2022

Curriculum reform in China has aimed to teach students to self-regulate their learning (Ministry of Education, 2012). Teachers andresearchers have acknowledged that being able to regulate one’s learning process is essential for achieving personal learning objectives (e.g.,Ben-Eliyahu & Bernacki, 2015) and that self-regulated writing strategies are a reliable predictor of learners’ writing proficiency in Englishas a foreign language (EFL; L. S. Teng & Zhang, 2016). However,studies in exploring the predictive effects of self-regulated writingstrategies on EFL writing proficiency are limited, particularly theextent to which self-regulated writing strategies contribute to secondary school students’ writing.
Maximizing the potential of captions for primary school ESL students’ comprehension of English- language videos
Authors: Teng Mark Feng
Published: November 2022

This study investigated the effects of captioned videos on ESL primary school students’ comprehension of video con- tent. A total of 182 primary school students watched two short English story videos in one of three conditions: fully captioned videos (N 1⁄4 62), keyword captioned videos (N 1⁄4 63), and uncaptioned videos (N 1⁄4 57). Each group included learners with higher and lower levels of English proficiency. Two videos were selected, and the second video was watched twice. After each video, all participants took a comprehension test, including global comprehen- sion and detailed questions. Findings revealed that fully captioned group achieved the best results on the global comprehension questions. Significant differences between the fully captioned and keyword captioned videos on the detailed comprehension questions were not detected. Learners with a higher level of English proficiency and those who watched the video for a second time achieved better comprehension scores. These findings suggest that full captioning videos, rather than keyword captioning vid- eos, should be considered when using video-based com- prehension activities for ESL primary school learners. However, learners’ English level and the frequency of video viewing should also be considered.

Published: November 2022

Outbreak of a new coronavirus infection (COVID-19) has spread rapidly around the world, causing enormous economic and social hardship. Severe acute respiratory syndrome caused by SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome CoronaVirus 2), caused millions of cases and death all over the world. The relevance of this problem is supported by the continuing risk of outbreaks disease, the emergence of new strains of the virus, as well as the presence of long-term consequences of the transferred COVID-19. The results of numerous randomized clinical trials indicate a mutually aggravating effect of COVID-19 and cardiovascular pathology. On the one hand, patients with chronic forms of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are at risk of severe course and unfavorable outcome, on the other hand, COVID-19 may contribute to the onset of cardiovascular disease or exacerbate already available CVD. Timely diagnosis of post-COVID syndrome and the correct treatment tactics will reduce complications and mortality.
Coronal codas and phonotactics in Tupi-Guarani languages
Authors: Carvalho Fernando Órphão de
Published: November 2022

This paper discusses the phonotactic organization of conservative Tupi-Guarani languages, and of Proto-Tupi-Guarani, by focusing on the analysis of the word-final/pre-pausal coronal approximant [j]. After illustrating how confusion prevails in currently accepted analyses of this segment, which is often considered both a consonant and a member of a diphthong, I argue that the analysis of [j] as a consonant is preferable. This claim, coupled with the auxiliary hypothesis that Proto-Tupi-Guarani phonotactics was subject to a version of the Syllable Contact Constraint, helps explain two otherwise disparate facts about Tupi-Guarani phonotactics: The impossibility of having complex -jC final codas, and the limitation of medial codas to -j.
Towards an agenda to investigate language development in an indigenous group in the Amazon
Authors: Uller Claudia , Soares Marília Facó
Published: November 2022

The present work advances a research agenda within the broader field of language and cognition for the study of the expression of numerical concepts in early development.  Lying at the core of the proposed agenda is the question of the relationship between the acquisition of the first language and the expression of numerical concepts in infancy.  Two processes exist to explain the expression of numerical information in languages. The first takes place through the grammatical structure of language (its quantificational system). The second is the direct expression of number with the use of number language expressions. The first process is called “grammatical number”, the second, “linguistic number”. In an attempt to raise questions that lie beyond previous investigations, and to expand linguistic and cognitive considerations, the proposal includes discussions regarding various numerical abilities in differing linguistic contexts in light of conceptual development of number systems. We hope this proposal will raise interesting cognitive and linguistic issues within the scope of languages spoken by native Amazonian peoples.
Tradition and Freedom in the Deconstructive “Philosophy of Philosophy”
Authors: Ilyina Anna
Published: November 2022

The article examines the peculiarities of the relationship between phenomena of freedom and tradition in the discourse of deconstruction. In this case, the tradition stands primarily as philosophical tradition, a critical questioning about which underlies Derridian thought. The latter in a great measure is a philosophical reflection on just the philosophical heritage ("philosophy of philosophy"). The author carries out her own analysis of the relationship between deconstruction and philosophical tradition in connection with the problem of freedom. In this respect, she uses the Derridian concept-metaphor of translation (passage), drawing on Mark Crepon’s historico-philosophical findings.
Considering the peculiarities of the thematization of concepts of freedom and tradition in deconstructive discourse, the author reveals a connection between the problems of (a) limits of philosophy (as one of the cornerstone issues of Derridian discourse) and (b) the specific correlation between the phenomena of freedom and tradition. It has been established that it is the ideas of other and translation (passage) that stand as links enabling such a connection.
For the history of philosophy of the second half of the 20th century, it is important to correctly understand the Derridian concept of tradition. The article proves that Derrida's interpretation of this concept (1) is significantly determined by the factor of other, (2) is based on the paradoxical interaction of tradition and freedom, (3) causes and enables deconstructing of the opposition between freedom and violence. As a result, it is established that deconstruction, which is apparently guided by the goal of liberation from tradition, in essence turns out to be a freedom for tradition, if the latter is interpreted in the semantic context set by the concepts of translation (or transition), other and limit.
A study of the historiography of philosophy in French-speaking philosophy
Authors: Yosypenko Serhii
Published: November 2022

One of the traditional subjects of discussion among historians of philosophy is the question of the status of the history of philosophy as well as a discipline, as well as the tasks, possibilities, and limitations of some approaches and genres of the historiography of philosophy. The article focuses on the analysis of the contribution to these discussions of studies in the historiography of philosophy, which began in Francophone philosophy in the 1970s with the publication of the studies of L. Braun and M. Gueroult, in particular, the answers to the mentioned questions, proposed within the framework of these studies.
The starting point of the article is the historical scheme of the attitude of philosophers to the past of philosophy, proposed by Y. Lafrance, which makes it possible to determine the place of the history of philosophy as a discipline in philosophical activity and to study the historiography of philosophy as an element of such activity. In this article, three research projects of the historiography of philosophy were analyzed – the «history of the history of philosophy» by L. Braun, the studies in the doxography by A. Laks and M. Frede, the social history of the historiography of philosophy by C. König-Pralong.
Based on the analysis of the mentioned projects, the article support the conclusion that the history of philosophy cannot be considered either only as a historical or only as a philosophical discipline, and also that a historian of philosophy cannot investigate a subject without simultaneously constructing it on the basis of historical data, which always remain outside the historiographic construction.

Trending practices and discussions in contemporary English-language historiography of philosophy
Authors: Menzhulin Vadym
Published: November 2022

This article outlines the leading trends in contemporary English-language historiography of philosophy. It is shown that the anti-historicity, which was characteristic of analytic philosophy in its classical versions was only a moment in its development. A historical turn that began in English-language philosophical world as early as the 1960s, during the first decades of the 21st century has led to a true flourishing of the history of philosophy - both at the conceptual and institutional level. Contemporary English-speaking historians of philosophy pay considerable attention to the methodologically important distinction between real historical process, i.e., facts that took place in the past (history of philosophy), and reflections concerning means, goals, and epistemological foundations for the understanding of these facts (historiography of philosophy). It is also shown that one of the main results of a careful study of history of philosophy is inclusiveness – drawing attention to those pages or aspects of the past that, for some reason, were marginalized or completely forgotten. Factors that were traditionally dismissed as external and unimportant, now acquire the same significance as those that were previously considered as exclusively internal and important. Due to this fact traditional history of philosophy, focused primarily on the study of the most prominent representatives of Western thought, usually men by gender, is replaced by a much broader historically-philosophical canon, which includes a much wider circle of thinkers, representatives of different cultures and types of philosophizing.
Historiography in the History of Philosophy: the German Context and Experience
Authors: Terletsky Vitali
Published: November 2022

The paper aims to disclosure of key points in the development of the German tradition of historiography of philosophy after the 90s of the 18th century. The starting point was the so-called «dispute about the method» of historiography, which erupted in the last decade of the 18th century not without the influence of Kant’s «critical philosophy». Its participants (Reinhold, Fülleborn, Goess, Grohmann, Tennemann, and others) put forward different theses, but they agreed that it is Kant’s philosophy that makes it possible to create a «philosophical history of philosophy». A type of historiography was formed, which was based on the criterion of «progress of philosophy» and Kant’s position was considered as a standard for any historiography. Subsequently, other types of historiography were formed, which followed either the opposite criterion of «regress» or «decadence», or tried to combine both of these criteria (Hegel). In the second half of the 19th century «history of problems» becomes widespread as a principle of research and presentation of the history of philosophy, its main representatives were W. Windelband, N. Hartmann, H. Heimsoeth. Instead, in the second half of the 20th century the dominant type of historiography is the «history of concepts», which finds linguistic and philosophical justification in Gadamer’s philosophical hermeneutics. In recent decades, the German tradition of historiography has been enriched by K. Flasсh’s project «historical philosophy» and by D. Henrich program «constellation research». In both of these projects, there is a noticeable attraction to microhistory, going beyond the «classic» texts, discovering hitherto unknown figures and sources that significantly expand the established practice of the historiography of philosophy.
Militancy and Martyrs’ Ghostly Whispers
Authors: Saramifar Younes
Published: November 2022

The so-called Iranian revolutionary youth's aspirations for martyrdom are not based merely on Islamist doctrines or Islamic ideologies. They readily place all fallen combatants in a ‘martyrdom box’, linking them to Islamic sacrality and claiming they feel martyrs via martyrs’ ghostly whispers. Through ethnographic journeys in Iran, Lebanon and Iraq, I unpack how they craft the ‘martyrdom box’ and communicate with the ghostly whispers. I argue that the Iranian revolutionary youth's perceptions of martyrdom and militant subjectivities emerge in relation to disbelieving histories that contest the state's narratives and their mystical relationships with martyrs. This article takes Iranian revolutionary youth as exemplars to explain how individuals implicated in political violence craft acts of ‘knowing’ and render death and dead ‘knowable’. In other words, instead of asking what is known, I proceed by unpacking how what is known becomes real and how the act of knowing contributes to the emergence of reality.

En Iran, les soi-disant aspirations de la jeunesse révolutionnaire pour le martyre ne sont pas simplement basées sur les doctrines islamiques ou les idéologies islamiques. Ces aspirations visent à mettre toutes les personnes qui sont mortes au combat dans une « boîte de martyre » afin de les unir au sacré islamique. Les jeunes prétendent pouvoir ressentir la présence des martyrs grâce au chuchotement-fantôme. À partir d'ethnographies conduites en Iran, au Liban et en Irak, j’étudie la façon dont ces jeunes construisent la « boîte du martyre » et communiquent avec les chuchotements des fantômes. L'idée que ces jeunes révolutionnaires iraniens se font du martyre et du militantisme est façonnée dans un contexte de scepticisme face aux histoires qui critiquent les récits d'Etat et les relations mystiques avec les martyrs. Cet article montre que la jeunesse révolutionnaire en Iran est emblématique des situations dans lesquelles des individus impliqués dans des violences politiques se présentent comme artisans-créateurs de « savoirs ». Ils essayent de se rapprocher des morts et de rendre la mort compréhensible. Mon objectif est de mettre de côté le questionnement sur la connaissance elle-même afin d’établir comment c'est la possession de la connaissance qui contribue à l'apparition de la réalité.

O mandacaru (Cereus jamacaru P. DC.) é uma espécie nativa da vegetação da Caatinga e seus frutos podem compor uma fonte de alimento rica de compostos bioativos, sendo um simbolo representativo regional, pouco explorado para a alimentação humana. Desta forma devido ao seu potencial nutracêutico e fornecimento de compostos essenciais para a manutenção da saúde é de grande relevância o desenvolvimento de novas tecnologias para a inclusão desta espécie nativa em produtos de interesse para as áreas farmacêutica e alimentícia. No presente estudo, objetivou-se avaliar as características físico-químicas da polpa do fruto do mandacaru, com a perspectiva tecnológica de utilização dos frutos como uma alternativa para melhor aproveitamento agroindustrial dessa matéria-prima no desenvolvimento de produtos alimentícios. Os frutos foram coletados no sítio Queimadas, zona rural do município de Lagoa do Ouro - PE. As análises foram realizadas em triplicatas no Laboratório de Análise de Alimentos da Universidade Federal do Agreste de Pernambuco (UFAPE). Realizando-se as seguintes análises: pH (4,34±0,03), Acidez Total Titulável (0,06±0,01%), Sólidos Solúveis Totais (12,43±0,08 ºBrix), Açúcares Redutores (9,09±0,09%), Atividade de água (0,98±0,00%), Lipídeos (15,66±0,47%), Teor de Umidade (88,66±2,35%) e Teor de Cinzas (0,56±0,01%). Os resultados obtidos apresentaram parâmetros desejáveis para seu processamento industrial, armazenamento e conservação, além de um alto potencial para o desenvolvimento de produtos artesanais, sendo uma alternativa para o incremento da renda do agricultor familiar da região Semiárida do município de Lagoa do Ouro, devido a abundância do fruto na região. Por possuírem características próprias para consumo in natura, é de fundamental importância estudar sua composição química, considerando a possibilidade de seu uso na indústria de alimentos e também na alimentação humana.

Authors:   Institute of oriental studies, Russian academy of sciences (MOSCOW), Rastyannikova Elizaveta
Published: November 2022

The article analyzes the situation on the world market of mining resources. The impact of demand for metallurgical raw materials from Asian countries has been assessed. It is shown that Asian countries in the conditions of rapid urbanization and the development of infrastructure facilities will show an increasing demand for resources for the metallurgical industry. The influence of the mining and metallurgical complex of Ukraine on the world market of iron ore and ferrous metals is investigated. Ukraine's largest exports were ferrous metals and iron ore, which accounted for 28% of all export revenue over the past three years. The main countries buying iron ore were China and the EU countries. Iron and steel went to Turkey, China, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and EU countries. The current situation in the mining and metallurgical industry of Ukraine will affect world economic relations in general. There may be a shortage of iron ore and ferrous metals on the world market, Turkey, Egypt, Viet Nam may be in the most vulnerable position.
RUSSIAN OIL EXPORTS CHANGE DIRECTION

Published: November 2022

. At the end of February – March 2022 another redistribution of the global energy market began, caused by the expansion and deepening of sanctions against Russia. In this situation India has significantly increased its purchases of Russian oil. India took this step on the basis of its economic considerations, despite the displeasure of the United States. Russian oil of the Urals brand is sold at a significant discount, which makes imports profitable for the Indian side, even taking into account transportation costs. There is a large reserve for further increases in supplies, but the Indian authorities have not yet made any statements in this regard.

Allergic rhinitis is the leading nosology among allergies. According to reports provided by scientists from all over the world, in recent years between 10% and 40% of the world's population have suffered from allergic rhinitis. Despite the age and sex differences, this disease usually has a negative impact on the patients' quality of life. Therefore, the issues of early diagnosis and the organization of timely therapeutic and preventive measures are still remaining relevant. The aim of this study is to investigate the spectrum of sensitization in children with seasonal allergic rhinitis using retrospective data, followed by the development of a regional panel of allergens for skin prick-test. To investigate the dynamic changes of the etiological structure, 892 archived medical records of patients who were examined and treated at the Paediatric Department (allergy beds) of Poltava Regional Children's Clinical Hospital from 2010 to 2020 were reviewed. The highest proportion of patients with sensitization to weed pollen was 86.6% of the total number of cases examined, with ragweed, wormwood and cyclachaena taking the leading positions. Almost equal sensitization to cereal grass was found in nearly every third child, including maize (37.2%), timothy (32.5%), meadow fescue (34.0%) and ryegrass (33.9%). The dynamics of hypersensitivity to tree pollen had an unstable variability with a relatively low numerical load. One in 5 patients was found to be sensitive to birch (22.6%), alder (22.9%) and one in 10 to hazel. The volume of work carried out enabled to assess in detail the features of sensitization in patients with seasonal allergic rhinitis over an eleven-year period and to identify the most common aeroallergens. The data obtained have an important diagnostic value, as they make it possible to isolate and include the leading causative pollen allergens in the diagnostic allergy panel, taking into account regional characteristics.
GNATOLOGICAL ASPECTS DURING DENTAL TREATMENT: MODERN APPROACHES
Authors: Golovko D.R. , Marchenko A.V.
Published: November 2022

Today, therapeutic and orthodontic treatments are closely related and occupy an important place among all dental services, improving the patient's quality of life. Gnathology covers the relationship between the state of the musculoskeletal system and the dentition. One of the first and most important stages of gnathological diagnostics is a gnathological questionnaire. The next method of gnathological diagnosis is computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging of the joints. In addition, other types of studies of the temporomandibular joint can be used: condylographic, axiographic, myographic.

The purpose of the study is to establish the relationship between gnathology and the stages of orthodontic treatment, to consider the main modern methods of gnathological diagnostics and the need for their use during orthodontic treatment.

Materials and methods include questionnaires, statistical analysis, comparison, observation, comprehensive analysis of disease histories of patients with and without comprehensive gnathological diagnosis during orthodontic treatment.

Results. We analyzed medical records (cards) of 230 patients who received orthodontic treatment within the last three years. 95 patients underwent full comprehensive diagnosis and with the involvement of gnathologists, 135 patients were treated without gnathological diagnosis.

It has been found that the patients with a complex gnathological diagnosis demonstrated the  success rate of treatment that achieved 91.6 %, while the success rate of treatment patients without a diagnosis made up7.4 % that is direct evidence of the need for gnathological diagnosis of patients.

Assessment of a face in profile is an integral part of a complete orthodontic diagnosis. The degree of labial inclination of the axes of the incisal crowns in relation to cephalometric and facial indicators are particularly important elements in orthodontic treatment in order to achieve an aesthetic and natural appearance of the face. The purpose of this study is to establish the peculiarities of the correlations between the skeletal angular parameters of the jaws, the characteristics of the incisal position, and the profile of the soft facial tissues of orthodontic patients. Participants and methods. Using the Veraviewepocs 3D device, Morita (Japan), 60 patients (29 men (48.3%) and 31 women (51.7%) with various occlusal pathologies aged from 11 to 39 years underwent teleradiograms. Using the licensed program for cephalometric analysis "Audax Ceph 6.0", the following indicators were analyzed: skeletal sagittal angles SNA, SNB, ANB. Skeletal vertical angles: NL-NSL, ML-NSL, NL-ML. Dento-alveolar parameters: +1/NL, +1/NA, -1/ML, -1/NB, +1/-1. Cephalometric indicators of soft tissues and facial profile: Gl'Sn'Pog', Nasolabial angle, Ls'-E-line, Li'-E-line. Correlations were evaluated in the IBM SPSS Statistics 23 license package using Spearman's non-parametric statistics. Results and discussion. Both men and women show that the ANB angle has the largest number of correlations with dental and profilometric indicators. In both cases, the angle ANB has the highest degree of correlation with the face profile angle Gl'Sn'Pog'. In men, the level of significance of ANB to Gl'Sn'Pog' is (r=-0.796, p=0.000), for women this index is r=-0.771, p=0.000. This indicates a significant influence of skeletal pathology on the type of the profile and facial aesthetics.
CLINICAL EFFECTIVENESS OF INTEGRATED TREATMENT OF PERIODONTAL TISSUE DISEASES IN TEENAGERS AND YOUNG ADULTS WHO SMOKE
Authors: Lisetska I.S. , Rozhko M.M.
Published: November 2022

Smoking has been proved as a risk factor for major dental diseases, including periodontal diseases, which rank the second position among the oral diseases. Statistical data indicate a high prevalence of teenagers and young adults who smoke. Therefore, the issue of developing effective schemes of the effective treatment and prevention, taking into account the presence of the smoking factor, as well as the main links of pathogenesis in teenagers and young adults, is quite relevant. The purpose of this study is to assess the clinical effectiveness of the proposed integrated treatment of periodontal diseases in teenagers and young adults who smoke. We assessed the conditions and changes in periodontal tissues before and after treatment in 114 teenagers and young adults aged from 15 to 24 years, who then were divided into four groups: group I included 26 regular smokers using traditional cigarettes; group II involved 22 people who smoked electronic cigarettes (Vapes) on regular basis; group III included 23 regular smokers using devices for heating tobacco (IQOS); group IV was formed by individuals having no harmful habit of smoking. We analyzed the dynamic changes of the OHI-S, PMA and PBI indices before and after the integrated therapy, which included "Quertin", "Supervit" and "BioGaya ProDentis" as well as “Stomolik” and “Kholisal” for local application. All the groups have demonstrated a positive trend in the investigated indices, however, the best results have been found out in the groups of individuals who received the integrated therapy that is confirmed by objective examination data and enables us to assess this therapy as of high clinical effectiveness.

Currently, there is intense interdisciplinary interest and a significant amount of literature on the prevention and treatment of postoperative scars, but international treatment recommendations and regimens have not yet caught up with current knowledge and practice in many medical institutions.

The aim of our study was to establish how the biological rhythm can affect the reparative functions of the human body, namely wound healing and scar formation when combining the intraoperative injection of placenta cryoextract and the postoperative electrophoresis on the 90th to 180th day.

The research was conducted in the Department of Maxillofacial Surgery on the basis of the Poltava Regional Clinical Hospital. M.V. Sklifosivskyi of the Poltava Regional Council". In total, 40 people took part in the study.

On the 90th day of the clinical study, the average score of postoperative scars was as follows: subgroup 1a was 49.3% lower compared to subgroup 2a. A difference of 25.5% could be observed between subgroups 1a and 1b, and 18.5% between subgroups 2a and 2b. From the data of clinical studies, the best results were obtained in subgroup 1a, which indicates the maximum impact of the author's prevention method on the condition of the postoperative scar in patients with a morning chronotype. In this group, a significant decrease in P1, P2, and P7 indicators was established on the 90th day and zero values ​​on the 180th day, respectively; Indicators P3, P4, and P5 recorded the lowest values ​​on the 90th day and a uniform decrease on the 180th and 360th days.

Thus, it can be argued that the most optimal results are in patients with the morning type of chronotype, who were injected with placenta cryoextract; the clinical difference was especially noticeable in the earlier period of the postoperative period.

Metabolic syndrome is one of the most widespread non-infectious pathologies in the world. Metabolic syndrome is quite often accompanied by an increase in body weight and can lead to the development of type 2 diabetes. Between 1990 and 2015, global mortality associated with high body mass index increased by 28.3%.

The purpose of this work is to determine the activity of antioxidant enzymes, the production of superoxide anion radical, the content of oxidatively modified proteins and the concentration of malondialdehyde in the biceps femoris of rats under experimental metabolic syndrome and stimulation of the organism with bacterial lipopolysaccharide.

The study was conducted on 24 sexually mature male Wistar rats weighing 200-260 g. The animals were divided into 4 groups of 6 animals each. The first group was the control group. The second group was the test metabolic syndrome group. Metabolic syndrome was modelled by using a 20% fructose solution as the only source of water for 60 days. The third group received S. typhi bacterial lipopolysaccharide in the first week in a dose of 0.4 μg/kg intraperitonealy three times a week, then once a week throughout the experiment. The fourth group underwent the combined exposure to lipopolysaccharide and metabolic syndrome. The development of oxidative stress was observed in the three experimental groups. During modelling of the metabolic syndrome, oxidative stress was characterized by an increase in the production of the superoxide anion radical whilst the activity of the studied antioxidant enzymes decreased. During bacterial lipopolysaccharide stimulation, oxidative stress was characterized by an increase in the production of superoxide anion radical under an increase in superoxide dismutase activity and a decrease in catalase activity. Combined stimulation of the organism by bacterial lipopolysaccharide and modelled metabolic syndrome on the oxidative stress was characterized by an increase in the production of the superoxide anion radical under an increase in the activity of the studied antioxidant enzymes.

The combined stimulation by bacterial lipopolysaccharide and modelled metabolic syndrome leads to the development of oxidative damage to the lipid and protein components of biceps femoris that is a consequence of an increase in the production of reactive oxygen species under a compensatory increase in the activity of antioxidant enzymes.

The resident oral microbiota plays an important role as a factor in its colonization resistance that ensures human oral health. However, at the same time, oral microorganisms can act as causative agents of infectious diseases. Scientists emphasize that in the situation when bacteria demonstrated increased resistance to antibiotics, quorum sensing is a particularly attractive target, since this mechanism controls several factors of bacterial virulence that affect adhesion, invasion and colonization of microorganisms during the development of the pathological process. Quorum sensing inhibitors can be enzymes and various chemicals that able to affect quorum sensing. Streptococcus mitis is a representative of the resident microbiota of the human oropharynx. But despite its commensalism, Streptococcus mitis in association with other microorganisms takes part in many pathological processes. Objective of this study is to study the effect of Dekasan and Iodoform antiseptics on the adhesive properties of Streptococus mitis clinical isolates taken from the oral cavity of patients with infectious and inflammatory post-extraction complications.

Materials and methods: examined clinical isolates of Streptococus mitis, which were isolated from 8 patients undergoing treatment for infectious-inflammatory post-extraction complications in the medical and surgical department of Poltava Regional Centre of Stomatology - Dental Clinical Polyclinic. Identification of selected cultures was carried out using an automatic bacteriological analyzer Vitec-2 compact bioMarieux (France). We used the average values of subbacteriostatic concentrations of the active ingredients of antiseptics. Adhesive properties of clinical isolates under the influence of Dekasan and Iodoform were determined according to the method of V.I. Brylis.

Conclusions: antiseptics have different effects on the adhesive properties of clinical isolates of Streptococus mitis.

Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory dermatosis that mainly affects the cheeks, nose, chin and forehead. Rosacea usually begins between the ages of 30 and 50, but can occur at any age. Population prevalence rates range from < 1 to 22%, but these percentages are likely influenced by differences in study design, methodology, population, geographic location, and cultural and social differences. Rosacea is characterized by recurrent episodes of flushing or transient erythema, persistent erythema, phymatous changes, papules, pustules, and telangiectasia, and the eyes may be involved. Due to the fact that rosacea affects the face, patients with this pathology often have low self-esteem and are prone to anxiety and depression, because this disease has a cosmetic defect. In addition to general skin care, there are several approved treatment options available to address these issues, both topical and systemic. For some functions, intense pulsed light, laser, and surgery are valuable. Recent advances in basic science have highlighted the role of the innate and adaptive immune system, as well as neurovascular dysregulation, underlying the spectrum of clinical manifestations of rosacea. Endogenous and exogenous stimuli can initiate and exacerbate multiple pathways in patients with rosacea.

With the updated diagnosis and classification of rosacea, treatment options for patients with rosacea have attracted the attention of dermatologists. Here, we summarize the latest advances in the treatment of rosacea, including skin care and cosmetic procedures, topical therapy, oral therapy, laser and light therapy, injection therapy, and combination therapy.
