The aim: To provide clinical evaluation of the effectiveness of anesthesia for cystectomy of radicular cysts that have grown into the maxillary si-nus or nasal cavity using different techniques of endonasal block-ade of the nasopalatine nerve.
Materials and methods: Clinical observations were conducted on 52 patients of different age and sex. These patients were diagnosed with large radicular cysts (more than 3.0 cm in diameter) that had grown into the maxillary sinus (33 cases) or into the nasal cavity (19 cases). The surgical excisions of cysts (oroantral cystectomies) were performed un-der local potentiated anesthesia. Patients were divided into two clinical groups, depending on the methods used for endonasal blockade of the nasopalatine nerve: the main and the control group. Patients in the main group underwent endonasal blockade of the nasopalatine nerve at the point of its emergence from the pterygopalatine ganglion. In the control group, the neural blockade was performed at the entry of this nerve into the incisive canal. Pain sensitivity and perception in patients were studied using subjective and objective methods. The data was analyzed by means of the Pearson’s chi – square tests.
Results: During the enucleation of radicular cysts that grew into the inferior nasal meatus and maxillary sinus in patients of the main group there was no pain observed. There were no manifestations of pain-induced stress neither from the side of autonomic system, nor physical or emotional manifestations of pain, which confirmed the effectiveness of nasopalatine nerve anesthesia. In patients of the control group during similar operation the full effect of local anesthesia was achieved in 56.0% of cases (χ2 – 9,270, р = 0,003). The rest of the patients during cystectomies showed some signs of pain-induced stress from the side of autonomic system or in the form of physical or emotional manifestations.
Conclusions: Endonasal blockade of the nasopalatine nerve at the point of its emergence from the pterygopalatine ganglion invariably provided a complete analgesia during enucleation of radicular cysts that have grown into the maxillary sinus or nasal cavity. Anesthesia of the nasopalatine nerve at its entry into the incisive canal allows pain-less cystectomy of radicular cysts that have spread to the front of the inferior nasal meatus from the front teeth.

Published: June 2021

The aim: Of the article is to conduct a comparative evaluation of the effectiveness of torasemide and furosemide in patients with heart failure.
Materials and methods: Analysis of the existing clinical trials and meta-analyzes that combine the results of the completed studies aimed at the investigation of comparative efficacy of furosemide and torasemide in patients with heart failure (НF).
Conclusions: There is enough convincing evidence to speak about the advantages of torasemide over furosemide both in terms of its pharmacological properties and taking into account the reduction of hospitalizations, functional progress and improvement in the quality of life of patients with НF. The safety profile of torasemide is more favorable, as it is associated with a reduced risk of hypokalemia compared to furosemide. The abovementioned facts favor the use of torasemide in patients with symptomatic НF, as well as the transition from furosemide to torasemide in patients with edema caused by НF, which remain uncontrolled despite receiving optimal doses of furosemide.

Published: June 2021

From smart cities to smart hotels. The Internet of Things (IoT) is rapidly changing the way people interact with the urban environment and different accommodation. The introduction of technology in the urban environment now allows us to adapt the experience of residents and collect and analyze user data to make better decisions about efficiency and performance. The use of IoT technology is now making its way into the hospitality industry.

Oro över coronapandemin i det svenska samhället
Authors: Kulin Joakim , Johansson Sevä Ingemar , Hjerm Mikael , Fors Connolly Filip
Published: June 2021

Syftet med denna studie är att öka kunskapen om människors oro över coronapandemin i Sverige. Vi använder enkätdata (n=3 040) för att studera 1) hur utbredd oron är, 2) vad den mer konkret består i, 3) hur den varierar mellan olika demografiska och socioekonomiska grupper, 4) huruvida oron kan förklaras av faktorer som personlighet, livsåskådning, tillit och riskuppfattningar, samt 5) vilka konsekvenser oron får för människors sociala kontakter, livskvalitet, beteenden och åsikter om samhällets åtgärder för att minska smittspridningen. Resultaten visar att det finns en utbredd oro över coronapandemin i Sverige och att denna främst bottnar i en oro för den egna eller familjemedlemmars hälsa. Dessutom varierar oron mellan grupper: framför allt äldre personer men även kvinnor och låginkomsttagare uppvisar jämförelsevis en högre grad av oro. Det finns ett flertal faktorer som förklarar den upplevda oron, men särskilt riskuppfattningar förklarar en stor andel av variationen mellan individer samt skillnader mellan olika grupper. De som oroar sig mer uppger också att de i större utsträckning följer myndigheternas rekommendationer och har minskat sina sociala aktiviteter samt upplever en försämrad livskvalitet under coronapandemin.
Phenomenological description of PTSD through a case
Authors: Rocha Neto HELIO GOMES DA , Tomé Adonis , Messas Guilherme Peres
Published: June 2021

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a severe mental disorder described only by operational criteria, without a proper dialectic essential analysis. In this study, we present a typical PTSD case with psychotic features, describing his living world through the domains of Heideggerian ontological-existential constituents –spatiality, temporality, corporeity and interpersonality (being-with-others). A phenomenological reduction and diagnostic elaboration was then performed. An essence of pervasive fear, that locks all intentionality and taints the entire being-in-the-world is described as the main characteristic of PTSD. The differential diagnosis is then discussed through a temporal perspective, showing essential differences among Bipolar Disorder, Schizophrenia and Persistent Delusional Disorder. We stand for a return to phenomenology, and its use to diagnosis and disorder description as a way to improve diagnostic validity and reliability.
Ressignificação teórica para a interpretação de um modelo matemático por meio do tempo lógico de Jaques Lacan
Authors: Silva Pontes Edel Alexandre
Published: June 2021

Decifrar um modelo das coisas perpassa por três circunstâncias observáveis: intuição, deliberação e tomada de decisão.  Segundo Jaques Lacan, o tempo lógico é definido em três atos: o instante de ver, o tempo de compreender e o momento de concluir. A interpretação de um modelo matemático segue em três partes analisáveis: a noção intuitiva, o pensamento matemático e a resolução do problema. Este estudo objetivou identificar as verdadeiras relações entre os princípios da descodificação de um modelo da natureza, as etapas de execução do tempo lógico de Lacan e a as fases da explicação de um modelo matemático. A ordem é ressignificar o processo de ensino e aprendizagem de matemática utilizando uma abordagem Lacaniana. Abordagens pedagógicas que fortalecem a intuição e o pensamento matemático são indispensáveis para aprimorar o desenvolvimento metacognitivo do sujeito envolvido.

Writer–Reader Interaction: Investigating Interactional Metadiscourse in Advertisements from Arab Universities
Authors: Al-Subhi Aisha
Published: June 2021

Nowadays, universities heavily rely on digital marketing and social media to recruit more students and to generate interest in their schools. Digital marketing and online advertising constitute a kind of interaction between writers and their potential readers. This paper explores how such an interaction is achieved by investigating a wide range of linguistic resources that writers use to express their stance toward the content in the text and toward the reader. A corpus of 80 academic advertisements from 38 universities, totaling approximately 2,118 words, was compiled and analyzed using Hyland’s (2005b) interactional metadiscourse. The corpus was searched manually for all categories of interactional metadiscourse, and all the reported cases were examined in context to ensure their validity. The results revealed a statistically higher frequency of engagement markers than stance markers. This extensive use of engagement markers, particularly directives and reader pronouns, is a strong indicator of a high degree of interactionality, personalization, and reader consideration. Universities use these engagement features to position themselves and their students in the world of academia and in the context of interaction, where they can successfully focus students’ attention, acknowledge their presence, and guide them toward achieving mutual goals.
Development and validation of film stimuli to assess empathy in the work context

A growing body of research suggests that empathy predicts important work outcomes, yet limitations in existing measures to assess empathy have been noted. Extending past work on the assessment of empathy, this study introduces a newly developed set of emotion-eliciting film clips that can be used to assess both cognitive (emotion perception) and affective (emotional congruence and sympathy) facets of empathy in vivo. Using the relived emotions paradigm, film protagonists were instructed to think aloud about an autobiographical, emotional event from working life and relive their emotions while being videotaped. Subsequently, protagonists were asked to provide self-reports of the intensity of their emotions during retelling their event. In a first study with 128 employees, who watched the film clips and rated their own as well as the protagonists’ emotions, we found that the film clips are effective in eliciting moderate levels of emotions as well as sympathy in the test taker and can be used to calculate reliable convergence scores of emotion perception and emotional congruence. Using a selected subset of six film clips, a second two-wave study with 99 employees revealed that all facet-specific measures of empathy had moderate-to-high internal consistencies and test–retest reliabilities, and correlated in expected ways with other self-report and test-based empathy tests, cognition, and demographic variables. With these films, we expand the choice of testing materials for empathy in organizational research to cover a larger array of research questions.

Digitalization is one of the key challenges for modern society. Given the inevitability of "digitalization" as a global phenomenon, there is no doubt that transformation processes should take place taking into account the needs of the development of the digital economy, innovative and creative entrepreneurship, scientific opportunities, new needs and challenges both for each individual country and for the world in the whole. Currently, the use of "digital" technologies in industry is one of the most important and sustainable trends in world development. The active introduction and dissemination of digital technologies (artificial intelligence, machine learning algorithms, "cloud" computing, etc.) leads to a large-scale transformation of requirements for specialists, changes the content of work and the demand for competencies, the key role in the formation of which belongs to education. In this context, the study of the peculiarities of the impact of digitalization of the economy on the transformation of personnel training in the fishing industry acquires particular relevance and significance. Special attention in the article is paid to key competencies and digital literacy, which should become an integral attribute of personnel qualifications. The need for the formation of "hard" and "soft" skills is also indicated. Based on the results of the study, recommendations were formulated for increasing digital literacy and proper training for the fishing industry at the level of the education system as a whole and directly by the business entities themselves.
Hydro Shot for Sports Performance and Exercise Medicine

Background. Exercise performance and recovery are impaired by excessive levels of oxidative stress and inflammation. However, both reactive oxygen species (ROS) and inflammation improve exercise performance including mitochondrial ATP production and force of muscle contraction. They also are essential mediators in providing the benefits and training adaptations that occur from exercise. Nitric oxide (NO•) is a gaseous radical that increases blood flow via dilation of the blood vessels and also improves mitochondrial function. Therefore, NO• improves exercise performance and capacity, but only when produced at the right times and in the right locations. Excessive levels of NO• contribute to nitrosative stress due to the spontaneous reaction with superoxide to form toxic peroxynitrite. This decreases the ½ life of nitric oxide resulting in less NO• benefits and in cellular damage leading to impaired exercise performance. In contrast to conventional antioxidants and anti-inflammatories, molecular hydrogen (H2) has been demonstrated to exert selective antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects by decreasing only excessive inflammation and reducing toxic oxidants without disturbing important signaling ROS, like NO•. Moreover, H2 can regulate NO• production, increase its circulating ½ life and beneficial NO• cycling, potentiate the bioactivity of NO•, and act as a NO• mimetic by increasing cGMP levels. At the same time H2 can prevent peroxynitrite formation and reduce the harm from NO• metabolism, such as lower nitrotyrosine levels. Methods. The effects of an H2-infused, nitric oxide-producing beverage (Hydro Shot) on nitric oxide production, blood flow, aerobic and anaerobic exercise, and cognitive function were assessed. Results. Ingestion of the functional beverage significantly increased production of NO• and a concomitant increase in blood flow. It also improved aerobic performance as measured by VO2, and anaerobic performance as indicated by delayed muscle fatigue, and increased peak torque during maximal isokinetic leg extensions. Additionally, the H2/NO• combination significantly improved indices of cognitive function including, focus, speed, plasticity, etc. Conclusion. The molecular crosstalk between H2 and NO•coupled with these preliminary results indicate that Hydro Shot is uniquely qualified for sports performance and exercise medicine and warrants additional clinical and mechanistic research.
