Introducción: La caries dental es una enfermedad crónica global causada por bacterias que metabolizan azúcares y producen ácidos, desmineralizando el esmalte dental. Afecta a todas las edades, especialmente en países en desarrollo con acceso limitado a atención dental. Prácticas familiares como compartir utensilios facilitan la transmisión de bacterias cariogénicas, subrayando la necesidad de educación parental. Metodología: Este estudio descriptivo y transversal utilizó encuestas estructuradas para analizar los conocimientos y prácticas de 3054 padres de niños en edad escolar en Cochabamba, Bolivia, sobre la caries dental y la transmisión de bacterias cariogénicas. Los datos se recolectaron en 2023 y se analizaron con SPSS. Se aseguraron principios éticos y confidencialidad. Resultados: Del total de 3054 encuestados, el 68.4% no sabía que la caries dental es causada por bacterias, y el 41% desconocía la transmisión por contacto saliva-saliva. El 37.3% admitió probar la comida de sus hijos con el mismo utensilio, y el 34.3% compartía utensilios al comer o beber. Discusión: Los resultados del estudio en Cochabamba muestran una falta significativa de conocimiento sobre la etiología de la caries dental y la transmisión de bacterias cariogénicas. El 68.4% de los padres desconocía que las bacterias causan caries y el 41% ignoraba la transmisión saliva-saliva. Además, el 36.3% de los padres prueba la comida de sus hijos con el mismo utensilio, aumentando el riesgo de transmisión. Esta falta de conocimiento y prácticas inadecuadas subraya la necesidad de programas educativos específicos para padres.

Aim: To study the awareness of children and their parents in the prevention of dental diseases and to propose educational measures to increase it.
Materials and Methods: To achieve the goal of the study, a survey of 628 children, aged 7-11 years, younger schoolchildren of Poltava and 479 of their parents was conducted using the previously developed “Dental Questionnaire for Children and Parents”. The questionnaire was based on the main indicators of the dental health of children and adolescents in accordance with the EGOHID II project (2008) and the WHO dental questionnaire (2013), and it took into account the proposals of dental organizations that regulate the assessment of oral health in children. Based on the results of the survey, a script for oral hygiene lesson for junior schoolchildren was developed using theatrical and game elements.
Results: The results of the conducted research indicate the low sanitary and hygienic awareness of parents, the paternalism of their thinking, which leads to the lack of control over the hygiene of the oral cavity of children. In order to solve this problem, a scenario of informational explanatory conversation was created with the involvement of modern methods of communication and intern doctors who have acquired relevant knowledge and communication skills.
Conclusions: Informing of children about the prevention of dental diseases in the form of a dental performance is a relevant sanitary and educational event that motivates children to observe the rules of oral hygiene.

Aim: To improve the management of morbidly obese patients who undergo gastric bypass surgery to reduce the number of postoperative complications, in particular, bleeding.
Materials and Methods: From 2011 to 2022, a total of 348 patients with morbid obesity (MO) underwent laparoscopic gastric bypass treatment at the clinical base of the Department of General Surgery №2 of Bogomolets National Medical University. The retrospective group included 178 patients who received treatment between 2011 and 2019. 170 patients were enrolled in the prospective group for the period from 2019 to 2022.
Results: Retrospective group had 8 episodes of postoperative bleeding, representing a rate of 4.49%, prospective group – 3 episodes of postoperative bleeding, representing a rate of 1.76% Four factor characteristics associated with the probability of bleeding were identified: “number of comorbid conditions”, “arterial hypertension”, “chronic liver diseases” and “chronic obstructive pulmonary disease”
Conclusions: The factors responsible for the occurrence of postoperative bleeding in morbidly obese patients after laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery were the number of comorbid conditions, the presence of arterial hypertension, the presence of chronic liver diseases, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. A new strategy for the management of morbidly obese patients after laparoscopic gastric bypass was developed. This strategy involves changing cassettes to create gastroentero- and enteroenteroanastomoses, reducing the period of use of the nasogastric tube, drains, and urinary catheter from 3-4 days to 1 day, and resuming the drinking regimen 6 hours after extubation.

Aim: To determine the effectiveness of physical therapy on the functional state of law enforcement officers’ knee joints after surgical intervention.
Materials and Methods: The research involved law enforcement officers from different units of the National Police of Ukraine (n = 56) who had suffered knee joint injuries in the line of duty, and underwent surgical intervention and rehabilitation procedures.
Results: It was found that 78.2 % of respondents had suffered knee joint ligament injuries as a result of falls during rapid movement, while 43.9 % were in full gear (armored protection, helmet, etc.). It was determined that after surgical intervention, the functional state of the knee joint of law enforcement officers who followed the recommendations of physical therapy specialists and systematically performed special sets of physical exercises was significantly different (p < 0.001). Worse results were noted in people who partially followed the recommendations of rehabilitation therapists and performed part of the prescribed procedures and physical exercises.
Conclusions: The effectiveness of the complex use of physical rehabilitation means for restoring the functioning of the knee joint after surgical intervention, which included arthroscopy, partial menisectomy of the damaged areas, debridement, vaporization of damaged cartilage, etc. was revealed. The positive effect of physical exercises on the functional state of the knee joint was proven. The sets of exercises that are advisable to use to restore the functioning of the knee joint were determined.

Aim: To investigate the dynamics of law enforcement officers’ physical and mental health components while performing their duties during the war in Ukraine.
Materials and Methods: The research, which was conducted in 2022-2024, involved 114 law enforcement officers (male) from the Kharkiv oblast (Ukraine) of different ages: under 30 (n = 35), under 40 (n = 41), over 40 (n = 38). To test law enforcement officers’ physical and mental health indicators, we used 3 methods: 1) “Fatigue-Monotony-Oversaturation-Stress”; 2) “Well-being-Activity-Mood”; 3) “Assessment of Nervous and Emotional Stress”
Results: The negative dynamics of most components of the physical and mental health of law enforcement officers of all three groups while performing their duties during the martial law were revealed. The most pronounced significant changes occurred in such components as “Fatigue”, “Oversaturation”, “Stress”, “Well-being”, “Mood”, “Nervous and Emotional Stress”. The most pronounced negative changes in most components occurred in law enforcement officers over 40 years old, which is due to both the age characteristics of the subjects and their length of service.
Conclusions: The research confirms the high complexity and extremity of law enforcement officers’ service activities during the martial law, as well as the high requirements for law enforcement officers’ readiness to perform tasks in the context of a significant expansion of the National Police’s powers. The results obtained also necessitate the search for effective ways to preserve and maintain the physical and mental health of law enforcement officers.

Published: August 2024

Aim: To study the impact of modern fitness technologies on the health and physical development of students in the learning process.
Materials and Methods: The research involved 108 students (52 male and 56 female students), which formed the experimental (EG) and the control (CG) groups. The EG male students were engaged in such type of fitness technologies as Strenflex during physical education training sessions, and the EG female students – Dance Aerobics. Students’ health was assessed by Stange and Genchi tests, Rufier and strength indices; and physical development – by the level of development of physical qualities.
Results: It was found that Strenflex training sessions have a positive effect on all studied health indicators of male students (Stangea and Genchi tests, Rufie and strength indices), and Dance Aerobics training sessions are more effective in improving the functional capabilities of the respiratory and cardiovascular systems, and less effective in developing the strength capabilities of female students. It has also been established that the most pronounced effect of the applied modern fitness technologies is on the development of strength qualities in men, endurance, and flexibility in men and women.
Conclusions: The effectiveness of modern fitness technologies in physical education in educational institutions to improve students’ health and physical development has been proven. The level of health and physical development of students, formed in the process of conscious training, will contribute to their successful learning and life-sustaining activities, as well as to maintaining the necessary level of motor activity in the future.

Aim: To study the dynamics of indicators of the functional state and health of technical specialties students during their long-term running engagement.
Materials and Methods: The research involved 112 students (59 men and 53 women) aged 17-20 years. Two groups of students were formed: group 1 included students who, in addition to compulsory academic physical education training sessions, were not engaged in any type of motor activity on their own; group 2 included students who independently were engaged in recreational running 3 times a week in extracurricular time.
Results: It was found that during the research period, both male and female students who were independently engaged in recreational running in extracurricular time showed a significant improvement of such indicators as resting heart rate, vital capacity of the lungs, duration of breath holding during inhalation and exhalation, duration of heart rate recovery after standard exercise, level of endurance development, level of physical health.
Conclusions: The positive influence of independent running with moderate intensity on the functional state and health of students of technical specialties has been proved. The low efficiency of the physical education system in Ukraine and, accordingly, the insufficient level of motor activity, indicators of functional status, and health of students who, in addition to academic physical education training sessions, did not exercise on their own, were also confirmed.

Aim: To substantiate the methodology for assessing the biological age of adolescent high schoolers (boys and girls).
Materials and Methods: Boys aged 14-15 (n = 102) and girls aged 12-13 (n = 101) were studied. The choice of these age groups is explained by the presence of the most significant individual differences in morphological and functional characteristics in these adolescents. Methods: anthropometry, somatometry, somatoscopy, tonometry, spirometry, dynamometry, Stange’s test, Rufier and Robinson indices. The interaction of the results of different methods of assessing biological age was conducted on one sex-age sample using factor analysis (principal components method).
Results: It has been established that the biological age of adolescents can be reliably determined using a set of three components: an assessment of the level of physical development, the index of heterochronicity, and the degree of manifestation of secondary sexual characteristics (for boys with a probability of 90.2 %, for girls – 92.1 %). The percentage ratio of these components has sexual peculiarities. Methodologies for assessing biological age for scientific purposes and rapid assessment for use in the practice of physical education and sports have been proposed. The indicators of rapid assessment are body length and the degree of hair development in the axilla. The reliability of the rapid assessment is 81.4 % for boys and 83.2 % for girls.
Conclusions: Developing adequate physical activities for adolescents of different biological ages will help improve the physical health of the younger generation.

Published: August 2024

Aim: To study the results of teachers’ assessment of the mental health of high schoolers with special educational needs (SEN) after the 1.5 years of war in Ukraine.
Materials and Methods: Teachers’ assessment of the mental health of high schoolers with SEN was conducted through an anonymous survey of teachers using the questionnaire developed by the authors. The research, conducted in 2023, involved 739 teachers working with high schoolers (ages 6-10) with SEN.
Results: It was found that 32.3 % of high schoolers were in the combat zone or on the temporarily occupied territory; 31.7 % of high schoolers were forced to leave their homes and were temporarily displaced, 17.7 % went through a separation from their parents, 15.8 % witnessed hostilities, and 3.8 % suffered bullying from their peers. In the educational process, high schoolers with SEN most often experienced anxiety (55.2 %), “emotional swings” (48.4 %), restlessness (44.8 %), fear (37.2 %). During the 1.5 years of war, 15.4 % of high schoolers began to study worse, 12.9 % began to spend more time playing computer games and on social media. It was found that 59.9 % of teachers need more information on maintaining the mental health of high schoolers with SEN.
Conclusions: The results obtained proved the negative impact of hostilities on the territory of Ukraine on the mental health of high schoolers with SEN, which necessitates the provision of adequate psychological support by teachers of such high schoolers in the educational process.

Aim: To study the attitude of law enforcement officers to motor activity and investigate its impact on their health.
Materials and Methods: The research, which was conducted in 2022-2024, involved 163 law enforcement officers under the age of 30. Research methods: bibliosemantic, questionnaire, testing, medical and biological methods, methods of mathematical statistics.
Results: It has been found that the vast majority of law enforcement officers (85.3 %) understand the importance of motor activity as a factor of a healthy lifestyle, its impact on physical and mental health, and quality of their professional activities. At the same time, only 27.6 % of law enforcement officers systematically engage in motor activity, 52.8 % do it sporadically, and 25.8 % do not engage in it at all. Among the reasons that prevent them from exercising are lack of time (65.6 %), lack of desire (31.3 %), and fatigue after a service day (28.1 %). It has been found that law enforcement officers who systematically engage in motor activity have a significantly better level of health (7.31 points) compared to those who engage in occasional motor activity (5.07 points) and do not engage at all (2.19 points).
Conclusions: The positive impact of motor activity on the level of health of law enforcement officers has been proved. Good health is a guarantee of high resistance of law enforcement officers to negative factors of professional activities, professional longevity, and quality of their professional tasks.

This study investigates these shifts by focusing on the Filipino Women Inventors and Innovators Network (FILWIN), which includes diverse leaders such as entrepreneurs, academics, scientists, and government officials from various sectors in the Philippines. Employing a mixed-methods approach, the research combines quantitative data from surveys with qualitative insights gathered through open-ended questions, interviews, and focus group discussions with FILWIN members. This methodology allows for a comprehensive analysis of how these women leaders adapt to the evolving market demands and leverage innovative strategies in their respective fields. Although the study predominantly focuses on FILWIN members, which may limit its broader applicability, it underscores the necessity for extensive interdisciplinary research across diverse professional fields. The results are crucial for policymakers and industry leaders, providing them with valuable insights to promote gender inclusivity and foster innovation in the digital economy. This research provides original insights into the experiences of a unique yet understudied group of female leaders and enriches our understanding of gender dynamics in technological and social innovation, offering a solid foundation for further scholarly and practical explorations.

Thomas Hobbes and The Social Contract: Promoting Governmental Tyranny.
Authors: - Afkir Ilyas
Published: August 2024

This paper examines Thomas Hobbes’s social contract theory, arguing for the claim that the English philosopher, in one way or another, promotes a tyrannical form of government. This study has been conducted following a brief examination of similar research studies, notably those that can be viewed as criticism of the Hobbesian social contract. Building on previous literature, and providing arguments that follow through the claim made, has paved the way for some conclusions. Hobbes, according to this study, is guilty of the claim we made against him, especially after careful consideration of the historical context of his writings, and a brief analysis of his idea of absolute authority, as well as his state of nature.

This study investigates the pivotal role of community colleges in enhancing collaboration within the education sector. Despite the recognized importance of collaboration, the specific contributions of community colleges remain underexplored. Employing a mixed-method research approach, the study utilizes a sequential exploratory design to comprehensively examine the roles, benefits, challenges, and strategies related to collaboration facilitated by community colleges. Data were collected through qualitative semi-structured interviews and quantitative surveys in places where community colleges exist. Findings indicate that community colleges serve as intermediaries, offering flexible education programs and contributing to workforce development, thereby fostering partnerships and cooperation among diverse stakeholders. While collaborative initiatives yield benefits such as enhanced student success and increased educational access, challenges such as resource constraints and communication barriers persist. Strategies to enhance collaboration effectiveness include building strong relationships, investing in capacity building, and establishing clear communication channels. These findings underscore the significance of recognizing and leveraging the unique contributions of community colleges to promote collaboration and address systemic issues within the education sector. The study concludes with recommendations to strengthen partnerships, allocate resources, implement capacity-building programs, and further research to explore additional factors influencing collaboration.

Imbuing Spirituality to Enhance the Effectiveness of Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs)
Authors: - Ferose.P.M
Published: August 2024

Conventional approaches of management researchers are based on economic rationality and human emotions, which are deficient in the spiritual aspects of humanity. Spirituality is an element of practical wisdom. Rationalist ethics and knowledge do not alone ensure virtues. The concept of spirituality places an ultimate or an apparent immaterial truth. It enables a person to discover the essence of their being. Spiritual practices, including prayer, meditation, and contemplation, are anticipated to enhance an individual’s inner space. They facilitate non-judgmental awareness, the ability to recover quickly from negative stimuli like stress or calmness, empathy, and increased flexibility in response.
An Employee Assistance Program (EAP) is an arrangement between a corporation, academic institution, or government agency and its employees that provides a variety of support programs for employees mainly dealing with work-related difficulties. The concept of the EAP originated in the 1970s to reduce substance abuse and intoxication in the workplace. Since then, EAPs have evolved to deal with various issues such as depression, marital problems, anger, anxiety, physical illness, etc. EAPs can provide daycare for employees' children and elder care for employees' parents. The relevance of spiritual wisdom in management is a widely accepted fact. This paper examines how Employee Assistance Programs can be made more effective by imbuing spiritual practices

No manejo florestal, a etapa de extração seletiva de madeira exige atenção para que os danos Ã  floresta remanescente sejam minimizados. Conhecer a magnitude desses danos é crucial para direcionar práticas de manejo e garantir a sustentabilidade do manejo. Neste trabalho, buscou-se caracterizar o estoque madeireiro remanescente após a colheita em uma unidade de produção anual de uma área de manejo florestal, localizada na Floresta Nacional do Tapajós. Foram utilizados dados do inventário florestal 100%, considerando as árvores classificadas nas categorias de uso ou proteção. Do universo das árvores derrubadas, foram selecionadas 74 árvores para compor a amostragem utilizada para quantificar o impacto causado pela colheita quanto Ã  abertura de clareiras e danos Ã s árvores remanescentes. Para processamento dos dados utilizou-se o Microsoft Excel e o QGIS. Na unidade foram inventariadas 92 espécies que acumularam um volume médio de 41,83 mÂ³ ha de madeira. Para a colheita, foram selecionadas 24, que somaram um volume médio de 11,3 mÂ³ ha. Na exploração, a Manilkara elata foi a espécie que sofreu maior redução populacional. Após a colheita, as médias de abertura da floresta causada pela derrubada das árvores acumularam 168,21 ha Â± 34,3 ha de floresta, correspondente a uma variação entre 6,04 % a 9,13% da área total da unidade. Florestas manejadas na Amazônia seguem diretrizes técnicas que propõem garantia de redução de impactos na floresta remanescente e, embora a intensidade de colheita por espécie siga critérios econômicos, a limitação de intensidade prevista pela lei é respeitada.Â
