SPECIFIC FACTORS AFFECTING RISK-TAKING BEHAVIOUR: PANEL COINTEGRATION AND CAUSALITY ANALYSIS ON BIST BANK INDEX
Authors: NUR Tuğba
Published: August 2022

In the study, it is aimed to investigate the determinants of risk-taking behavior of banks traded in Borsa Istanbul Bank Index in the period of December 2000 - December 2020 by panel cointegration and causality analysis. Risk-taking behavior of banks is measured with Z-Score. Ratios related to financial structure (Equity/Total Asset), asset quality (Net Credit/Total Asset), performance (Net Profit/Total Asset), liquidity (Amihud Ratio) and franchise value ((Market Value + Total Debt) /Total Asset) was included in the analysis as an independent variable. As a result of the analyzes carried out, it has been determined that there is a long-term cointegration relationship between the variables and that the increase in the Equity / Total Assets Ratio, return on assets and insufficient liquidity reduces the risk-taking behavior. In addition, a one-way causality relationship has been determined from risk-taking behavior to return on assets, from franchise value to risk-taking behavior and from lack of liquidity to risk-taking behavior.
Confirmation of Pathogen 'Burnout' in Mouse Colonies with Previous Evidence of Infection with Parvovirus and Rotavirus
Authors: Yu Erin NZ , Darbyshire Amanda K , Himmel Lauren E
Published: August 2022

Pathogen monitoring and colony health management are critical components of any rodent research program. From an operational perspective, rodent facilities are protected from unwanted infectious agents by facility-specific bioexclusion criteria, sanitation of the physical environment,
and personal protective equipment. Another important preventative measure is the use of room health levels to provide traffic patterns for animal care and research staff as they move between rooms of differing health status. For mice, our institution uses a tiered room level system with 6
defined categories, ranging from level 1 (strictest entry criteria) to 6 (least stringent entry criteria). Level 6 is defined as rooms with mice that have tested positive for mouse parvovirus (MPV) or mouse rotavirus (MRV) or both on sentinel serology at any point in time in the past and no
decontamination. Because many of our mouse rooms had historically been positive for MPV and/or MRV and because of the high financial and logistic challenges of using repeated test-and-cull for elimination, we had tolerated the potential presence of MPV and MRV and had developed management
practices that would promote 'burnout' (that is, elimination of infectious agents due to absence of susceptible hosts) of these pathogens. Analysis of sentinel data showed that we had 28 rooms in 4 facilities for which excluded pathogens had not been identified in 3 y or more. We therefore
developed a hybrid testing strategy involving both PCR analysis and serology and implemented it in sentinels and in select colony mice to determine whether the rooms had undergone successful burnout and were free of MPV and MRV. All test results obtained during the assessment were negative
for both viruses, and the rooms were subsequently upgraded to level 5 (free from excluded pathogens and allowing two-way movement in and out of housing room). All upgraded rooms have remained negative on subsequent quarterly routine sentinel serology for over 3 y. Our testing strategy for
confirming pathogen burnout may be a useful and cost-efficient model for other academic rodent research programs that face a similar situation.
Zeitdiagnosen!?

Zeitdiagnosen nehmen die Gegenwart in den Blick und fordern ein Verständnis aktueller Gegebenheiten aus den Entwicklungen der Vergangenheit heraus. Psychoanalytische Zeitdiagnosen erweitern diesen Fokus, indem sie auf das Unbewusste rekurrieren: auf unbewusste Konflikte, Ängste und Motive, auf Abwehrvorgänge und Kompromissbildungen, so wie sich diese auch in gesellschaftlichen Kollektiven manifestieren.

Aktuell ist eine Vielzahl gesellschaftlicher, politischer, sozialer und ökologischer Umbrüche zu beobachten, ein Erstarken nationaler Kräfte, die Wiederaufrichtung von Grenzen, eine beschleunigte Digitalisierung, eine Kultur der Selbstoptimierung, der Verlust der Bindung in der Gemeinschaft und die Leugnung des Klimawandels. Die Autor:innen widmen sich diesen Phänomenen aus psychoanalytischer und psychotherapeutischer Perspektive.

Authors: Sorokovykh Galina Viktorovna , Abdulmianova Indira Rafailovna , Staritsyna Svetlana Grigoriyevna
Published: August 2022

The study aims to determine the most effective forms and types of pedagogical interaction between a teacher and students that make it possible to adapt its significant functions to the new realities of digital foreign language education. The paper presents a theoretical basis and interpretation for an experience of adapting pedagogical interaction between a teacher and students to the conditions of a digital language educational environment, which can be taken into account in the professional training of future foreign language teachers. Scientific novelty of the study lies in providing a theoretical substantiation for the features of a digital language educational environment (DLEE) and describing its functions, which need to be taken into consideration for the effective adaptation of pedagogical interaction between a teacher and students to a new didactic context. As a result of the study, the researchers have identified the competence repertoire necessary for a teacher to implement digital pedagogical interaction and have proposed methodological recommendations for transforming the styles of interaction between a teacher and students for their implementation in the digital language educational space.

BYOD (“Bring Your Own Device”) Technologies in Elective Physics Course for Engineering Classes
Authors: Baranov Alexander Viktorovich , Petrov Nikita Yurievich
Published: August 2022

The study aims to introduce the BYOD (“Bring Your Own Device”) concept and BYOD technologies into the organisation of design and research activities of schoolchildren attending an elective physics course of a technical university for engineering classes. The paper considers the features of organisation of an elective physics course for engineering classes of lyceums by a technical university, describes the process of implementing the BYOD concept and adapted BYOD technologies when organising design and research activities of students of engineering classes in an elective physics course, presents an assessment of the results of introducing BYOD technologies in an elective physics course for students of engineering classes at Novosibirsk State Technical University. Scientific novelty of the study lies in developing a methodology for adapting and applying BYOD technologies in the organisation of design and research activities of students of engineering classes attending an elective physics course of a technical university. Adapted mobile BYOD technologies make it possible to organise the learning process that contributes to more effective mastery of fundamental activities of modelling and experimentation by schoolchildren. At the same time, the use of mobile technologies forms the basic components of information competence among schoolchildren, serves as a source of acquiring and improving digital skills. As a result, it has been proved that it is not only possible, but also necessary to apply the BYOD concept and BYOD technologies when organising schoolchildren’s design and research activities in an elective physics course for engineering classes. Students’ own smartphones and tablets are characterised as having sets of various sensors and applications. Therefore, mobile devices can serve as a basis for more diverse and effective design and research activities of schoolchildren in an elective physics course. This includes using electronic sensors and mobile applications to perform and process measurements, creating video reports when designing installations and conducting experiments, mathematical processing of experimental results on video recordings, keeping electronic diaries, participating in video conferences, preparing and recording performances. The analysis of the results of introducing adapted BYOD technologies into an elective physics course has demonstrated a significant increase in schoolchildren’s interest in project research using mobile devices. A more effective organisation of students’ own activities and teamwork has been registered. It is noted that schoolchildren master measurement methods, ways of video recording and processing of experimental results using mobile devices rather quickly. Undoubtedly, the use of BYOD technologies by schoolchildren should be accompanied by control over their work with mobile devices within the scope of the set tasks of project research.

Signal integrity analysis for the four-layer reflection symmetric modal filter
Authors:   Tomsk State University of Control Systems and Radioelectronics, 634050, Russia, Tomsk, prospect Lenina, 40, Zhechev Y.S.
Published: August 2022

The article presents the results of signal integrity analysis for a four-layer reflection symmetric modal filter and determines a potential field of application for such devices. The authors performed a simulation and experimental study in the range from 0 to 1.5 GHz. The results show that the average level of insertion loss in the passband does not exceed -18 dB, which demonstrates good agreement. The insertion loss does not significantly attenuate the useful signal. After the modal filter was defined in the frequency domain, the authors used the Advanced Design System to analyze the time characteristics. Pseudorandom binary sequences with bitrates from 0.125 to 0.5 Gb/s were excited to the input of the device in the Advanced Design System. The eye diagrams show that the modal filter has an excellent performance in terms of signal integrity. Thus, at the fastest data rate, the jitter does not exceed 39.5 ps. The maximum value of amplitude noise was 71 mV. It is possible to achieve significantly lower values of jitter and amplitude noise for the modal filter using its optimal geometric and electrical parameters. The results of the electrodynamic simulation are in good agreement with the experimental results.
THE AGE OF GOLD MINERALIZATION IN THE KETKAP-YUNA IGNEOUS PROVINCE, FORMATIONAL TYPES OF GOLD-BEARING COMPLEXES, AND TIME DIFFERENCES IN THE OCCURRENCE OF LATE MESOZOIC MAGMATISM IN DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE ALDAN SHIELD

Published: August 2022

The first 40Ar/39Ar isotopic age data for hydrothermal vein gold mineralization in the late Mesozoic Ketkap-Yuna igneous province of the Aldan shield confirm the correlation between this style of mineralization and the Early Cretaceous sub-alkali magmatism, which was established by geological observations. The combination of geological characteristics and U-Pb data on magmatites enabled us to indirectly determine the age of the highly productive bimetasomatic «massif-skarn» type of mineralization associated with sub-alkali magmatogenic formations of the province. The isotopic dating of magmatites and gold mineralization in the Ketkap-Yuna igneous province and other late Mesozoic igneous provinces of the Aldan shield shows consistency in the ages of ore-bearing magmatites and associated ores. The delay in time of the Late Mesozoic magmatism manifestations in the Ketkap-Yuna igneous province and the associated gold mineralization relative to the intensification of tectonomagmatic processes in the Western and Central Aldan, as well as differences in the correlations of different types of igneous formations in the provinces, are explained by the characteristics of the regional tectonic structure and, as a consequence, the specific nature of the Late Mesozoic magmatism development in different parts of the Aldan shield. Two large areas of the late Mesozoic intensification of tectonomagmatic processes are identified in the Aldan shield that differ both in the time of the onset of polyformational magmatism and the accompanying different-type mineralization, and in the dominant formational type of magmatites: West-Central Aldan, on the one hand, and East Aldan, on the other. The former is characterized by continuous magmatic activity from the Berriasian to the early Albian (≈ 30 Ma) and predominance of the leucitite–alkali-(foid)-syenite formation, and the latter by manifestations of magmatism over a timeframe half of the above period (≈ 15 Ma) and predominance of the subalkaline diorite-granodiorite-granite formation. The termination of the late Mesozoic magmatism in both areas was subsynchronous. A «set» of magmatogenic formations in them is also similar: leucite-alkaline-(foid)-syenite with alkali granites, monzonite (shonkinite)-syenite and subalkaline diorite-granodiorite-granite. The Coniacian–Santonian outbreak of alkali volcano-plutonism during the intensification of tectonomagmatic processes is characteristic of the East Aldan region, which manifested itself in the Ketkap-Yuna igneous province after a long (about 30 Ma) period of amagmatism.
THE EARTH’S CRUST AND UPPER MANTLE OF THE EAST CHINA SEA (SEIMOTOMOGRAPHIC AND GRAVITY MODELS)
Authors:   Institute of Complex Analysis of Regional Problems, Far East Branch, Russian Academy of Sciences, Petrishchevsky A.M.
Published: August 2022

Gravity and seismic-tomography models of the tectonosphere detailing and specifying the structure of the crust and upper mantle of the East China Sea are considered. Crust of this region has considerably lower density extending into the subcrustal layer to a depth of 40–45 km. A transform-fault-related wide pull-apart zone of NW strike is identified on the western edge of the Pacific plate. In east regions of the East China Sea the lower layer of the Philippine oceanic lithosphere is underthrust beneath the Ryukyu arc and further ‒ beneath the viscous subcrustal layer of the continental shelf. In the western regions, the oceanic lithosphere is thrusted over the continental margin crust. Evidence of the central type structure of presumably plume origin is found in the layer below the asthenosphere on the western edge of the Philippine plate (a middle fragment of the Ryukyu arc).

Se desarrolla un análisis comparativo con una significativa base de datos relacionada con la tradición de figurinas de cerámica de las Sierras de Córdoba y planicies orientales, tomando en cuenta las correspondencias formales. Los resultados señalan claras vinculaciones entre el cántaro de Coronda y estas figurinas, en particular aquellas procedentes del área del río Segundo o Xanaes, que es asimismo la más cercana al sitio donde fue hallado el recipiente. Finalmente, se formulan algunas ideas e hipótesis alternativas que aportan a la comprensión de las conexiones y vínculos sociales entre ambas regiones.
EXPERIENCIA, COSMOGRAFÍA E INSTRUCCIÓN. EL PROBLEMA DE REPRESENTAR AL NUEVO MUNDO SEGÚN ALONSO DE SANTA CRUZ
Authors: Gandini María Juliana
Published: August 2022

Entre 1526 y 1529 Alonso de Santa Cruz (1505-1567) formó parte, como veedor y tesorero, de la expedición que Sebastián Caboto dirigió al Río de Solís. Luego, ya como cosmógrafo de la Casa de la Contratación de Sevilla y del propio rey español, escribió su Islario general… (c. 1560), un ambicioso trabajo cosmográfico en el que incluyó una descripción corográfica del Brasil y del ya rebautizado Río de la Plata. Además, redactó un borrador con instrucciones relativas a la correcta descripción general de las Indias. El análisis de estas instancias y los diversos roles que en ellas cumplió Santa Cruz, nos permite considerar tanto los densos vínculos establecidos entre experiencia de explotación, saber cosmográfico y razón de estado, de un lado, como el problema más general y complejo de la producción de una adecuada representación del Nuevo Mundo, de otro.

El artículo presenta los resultados de un análisis cualitativo sobre las principales dimensiones del trabajo infantil actualmente estudiadas en Argentina. Considerando los abordajes y perspectivas presentes en las investigaciones de los últimos 5 años sobre el tema, se retomaron los siguientes ejes de discusión: 1) los procesos macro-económicos estructurales como principales condicionantes del trabajo infantil; 2) la importancia del contexto sociocultural y los estudios que reivindican la agencia de los niños y las niñas como posibles informantes; 3) las posturas que inciden en los riesgos, considerando el trabajo infantil como una forma de desprotección estatal y 4) los estudios que representan cuestiones de género, como variable diferencial en las trayectorias infantiles. En cuanto a su metodología, el trabajo se fundamenta en una revisión sistemática de fuentes bibliográficas secundarias de los repositorios SCOPUS, SCIELO, DIALNET y REDALYC, utilizando el software MAXQDA. A modo de conclusión sugerimos que las investigaciones actuales sobre trabajo infantil en Argentina presentan desafíos en relación a sus abordajes, interpelándonos a una necesaria reconceptualización situada de sus categorías en estudio.

Neste sentido, observou-se a necessidade de fortalecimento da Atenção Básica de Saúde, responsável por operacionalizar o Programa Nacional de Imunização, enquanto importante estratégia de prevenção e erradicação de surtos de doenças, o que evidencia a necessidade de manter e equipar os sistemas de imunização, para implementação de amplas ações e atividades de imunização no território.
The Influence of Work Diversity on Organizational Performance in the Hospitality Sector in the UAE: The Moderating Role of HR Practices
Authors: Khassawneh Osama , Mohammad Tamara
Published: August 2022

The structure of workplace in hospitality sector has become apparently diverse. As a vital step in defining how diversity affects organizational performance, we suggested training as a mediator over which diversity in income level and race indirectly affects organizational performance. We also emphasized two human resource practices, namely, rewards and performance appraisal, as important possibilities that moderate the impact of employee diversity on training and organizational performance.  A sequential regression analysis was applied on performance appraisal data including information from directors, unit managers, supervisors, low level workers, and customers, as well as financial outcomes from 167 organizations in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) (683 full time employees) in the hospitality sector including hotels, restaurants, theme parks, travel agents, recreational centers, and museums, which assisted in supporting the hypotheses. The findings provide unique practical and theoretical understandings into the effective management of employee diversity.
Mechanisms of nerve regeneration for drug-resistant epilepsy: scoping review protocol
Authors: García-González Renato , Sandoval Hugo , Mishra Rakesh , Malvaso Antonio , Alarcon-Ruiz Christoper A. , Ríos Camilo , Pérez-Neri Iván
Published: August 2022

Drug-resistant epilepsy is defined as “the failure of adequate trials of two tolerated, appropriately chosen and used antiepileptic drug schedules”, 30-40% of the patients with epilepsy present this condition decreasing their quality-of-life and increasing mortality risk. Current literature suggests therapeutic alternatives such as surgery or neurostimulation, but they show some limitations. Unless degenerative progression is prevented and the regulatory role of interneurons is restored, patients with drug-resistant epilepsy may not reach seizure freedom. Ongoing studies have developed techniques to manoeuvre signalling pathways for neural regeneration in the central nervous system, this is defined as “the regrowth or repair of nervous tissues, cells or cell products”. This scoping review protocol aims to evaluate the therapeutic potential of modulating nerve regeneration pathways for patients with drug-resistant epilepsy. Published studies (all publication types) will be retrieved from Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, EBSCOhost, Ovid, and Google Scholar, from database inception to present. Studies describing patients or experimental models of drug-resistant epilepsy receiving any treatment modulating nerve regeneration pathways will be included. Studies in languages different than Spanish or English that could not be appropriately translated or whose full-text files could not be retrieved after all efforts made will be excluded. Studies will be assessed for eligibility by two independent researchers. Results will be presented in tables. A narrative synthesis will be provided.
Differential expression of STEAP3 in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: August 2022

Neurodegenerative diseases that affect the motor neurons, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), have little treatment options and are generally rapidly fatal (1, 2). We harnessed the power of unbiased, whole transcriptome differential gene expression analysis, utilizing primary patient cells and tissues to discover genes whose expression defines sporadic ALS using published data (3, 4). We found significant differential expression of STEAP3, encoding STEAP3 metalloreductase, in primary fibroblasts of patients with sporadic ALS (SALS). STEAP3 transcript was present at significantly higher levels in SALS patient fibroblasts as compared to control, non-diseased fibroblasts. These analyses will begin to define the transcriptional landscape of sporadic ALS.

A Meta-Analysis of the Effects of Trigger Warnings, Content Warnings, and Content Notes
Authors: Bridgland Victoria , Jones Payton J. , Bellet Benjamin W.
Published: August 2022

Trigger warnings, content warnings, or content notes are alerts about upcoming content that may contain themes related to past negative experiences. Advocates claim that warnings help people to emotionally prepare for or completely avoid distressing material. Critics argue that warnings both contribute to a culture of avoidance at odds with evidence-based treatment practices and instill fear about upcoming content. Recently, a body of psychological research has begun to investigate these claims empirically. We present the results of a meta-analysis of all empirical studies on the effects of these warnings. Overall, we found that warnings have no effect on affective responses to negative material nor on educational outcomes (i.e., comprehension). However, warnings reliably increase anticipatory affect. Findings on avoidance were mixed, suggesting either that warnings have no effect on engagement with material, or that they increase engagement with negative material under specific circumstances. Limitations and implications for policy and therapeutic practice are discussed.

Even minimal student-instructor interactions may increase enjoyment in the classroom: Preliminary evidence that greeting your students may have benefits even if you can't remember their names
Authors: Sandstrom Gillian M
Published: August 2022

Students value rapport with their instructors, and benefit from interacting with them; student-instructor contact is related to persistence, satisfaction, grades, etc. Instructors who wish to build rapport with their students are often encouraged to address their students by name. However, learning names is difficult for many people, and when classes are large, or team-teaching restricts the time spent with a group of students, it is even more difficult. Outside the classroom, even minimal social interactions with strangers (e.g., making eye contact, having a brief chat) can increase feelings of connection. Could minimal social interactions between instructors and students also have benefits? A rapport-building intervention was tested on students in three classes taught by two instructors (N = 352). Compared to students in a control condition and students who were assigned to a greeting condition (a minimal interaction designed to enable instructors to recognize students’ faces) reported a stronger relationship with the instructor, and greater relationship strength predicted greater interest/enjoyment, relatedness and belonging. This novel intervention produced similar results to a more traditional nameboard condition, designed to enable instructors to learn students’ names. These findings raise the intriguing possibility that even when instructors struggle to learn students’ names, they can still build rapport with their students by simply greeting them as they enter class.
Irruption Theory: A novel conceptualization of the enactive account of motivated activity
Authors: Froese Tom
Published: August 2022

Cognitive science is lacking conceptual tools to describe how an agent’s motivations, as such, can play a role in the generation of its behavior. The enactive approach has made progress by developing a relaxed naturalism, and by placing normativity at the core of life and mind: all cognitive activity is a kind of motivated activity. It has rejected representational architectures, especially their reification of the role of normativity into localized “value” functions, in favor of accounts that appeal to system-level properties of the organism. However, these accounts push the problem of reification to a higher level of description, given that the efficacy of agent-level normativity is completely identified with the efficacy of non-normative system-level activity, while assuming operational equivalency. To allow normativity to have its own efficacy, a new kind of non-reductive theory is proposed: Irruption Theory. The concept of irruption is introduced to indirectly operationalize an agent’s motivated involvement in its activity, specifically in terms of a corresponding underdetermination of its states by their material basis. This implies that irruptions are associated with increased unpredictability of (neuro)physiological activity, and they should hence be quantifiable in terms of information-theoretic entropy. Accordingly, evidence that action, cognition, and consciousness are linked to higher levels of neural entropy can be interpreted as indicating higher levels of motivated agential involvement. Counterintuitively, irruptions do not stand in contrast to adaptive behavior. Rather, as indicated by artificial life models of complex adaptive systems, bursts of arbitrary changes in neural activity can facilitate the self-organization of adaptivity. Irruption theory thereby makes it intelligible how an agent’s motivations, as such, can make effective differences to their behavior, yet without requiring the agent to be able to directly control their body’s neurophysiological processes.

Macunaíma e Cristo Redentor: construções narrativas do mito no imaginário brasileiro
Authors: Bessa Leandro , Jardim Leandro Bertoletti
Published: August 2022

O presente artigo discute elementos do imaginário e cultura brasileira os quais potencializam uma narrativa mítica em dois símbolos nacionais, o Macunaíma, de Mário de Andrade, e a imagem do Cristo Redentor. Sob a perspectiva da teoria do imaginário, estudaremos o aspecto mitogênico nas duas obras. A partir das aparições desses símbolos na cultura, na política e na mídia, constataram-se associações idealizadas com a estátua, e de estigma, com o personagem literário.
Entrepreneurial personality and motive: A study of Hungarian early-stage entrepreneurs using GEM data
Authors: Chandler Nick
Published: August 2022

This study investigates the motives of Hungarian early-stage entrepreneurs and the relationship between these motives and aspects of the entrepreneurial personality. Using the 2021 GEM data, it is found that key motives for these entrepreneurs are both push and pull: ‘making a difference in the world’ and ‘earning a living because jobs are scarce’. The pull motive of ‘making a difference in the world’ is significantly correlated with positive aspects of creativity and a confidence in one’s own abilities. Conversely, the push motive of ‘earning a living because jobs are scarce’ correlates with negative aspects of a fear of failure and a lack of confidence in setting up a business. Through the correlations found between motives and entrepreneurial personality traits, a theoretical model is developed to offer future research directions. Recommendations for policymakers are put forward based upon the findings.

Abstract. Cerebral palsy is one of the most widespread nervous diseases for children [1]. From data of VOOZ annually there is growth of quantity of children with disabilities, including cerebral palsy. According to the Center for Medical Statistics of Ukraine, children with disabilities make up about 2% of the child population, thus relative majority - are children who have lost mobility due to congenital and acquired diseases and injuries of the central and peripheral nervous systems [2]. The most common form of cerebral palsy is spastic diplegia (bilateral paralysis of the same parts of the body). Children with spastic diplegia and lesions of all extremities, muscle tone of the extremities is increased, which may eventually lead to contracture. In turn, these contractures lead to persistent restrictions of active and passive movements in the joints and can be prevented or eliminated in the process of physical therapy. The analysis of the scientific literature on these issues allowed us to conclude that it is necessary to further improve existing methods of physical therapy of the cerebral palsy with spastic diplegia, which determines the relevance of this research.
ABOUT CONNECTION AUTOIMMUNE THYROIDITIS WITH MANIFESTATION OF IRON DEFICIENCY ANEMIA IN A CONDITION OF HYPOTHYROIDISM IN GENERAL CLINICAL PRACTICE. CLINICAL CASE
Authors: Nikolaienko-Kamyshova T. P. , Akhe E.A.
Published: August 2022

Summary: Anemia is a global public health problem that needs to be identified. When determining the algorithms for examination and treatment of anemic syndrome, it is necessary to carefully study the risk factors for its development, taking into account comorbidity. Carrying out of diagnostic search in several directions will allow to specify mechanisms of development of an anemic syndrome which at a combination worsen a clinical condition.

Special attention should be paid to patients with manifestations of anemic syndrome on the background of endocrine pathology, namely autoimmune thyroiditis in hypothyroidism, as the incidence rate among women of childbearing age has increased significantly, which determines the direction of research and aim of this publication.

The article presents a clinical case of observation and treatment of a patient with chronic autoimmune thyroiditis in a state of hypothyroidism and adenomyosis, accompanied by abnormal uterine bleeding, which was complicated by iron deficiency anemia. Because the patient initially considered uterine bleeding to be the main problem, she was observed by a gynecologist; at the same time changes of indicators of the general analysis of blood in favor of anemia are established. Treatment of endometriosis and the appointment of iron supplements led to improvement with the normalization of laboratory parameters. For 6 months the patient did not consult a doctor, no laboratory control was performed. If she felt worse, the patient consulted a family doctor. Careful examination with the involvement of an endocrinologist allowed to diagnose chronic autoimmune thyroiditis in a state of hypothyroidism and prescribe adequate therapy, which helped to normalize the patient's condition.

Conclusion. Manifestations of anemic syndrome require determining the causes of its occurrence with the development of algorithms for examination and monitoring of treatment. The general practice physician should be the main coordinator in studying the causes of anemia and the management of patients in the outpatient phase with the involvement of physicians of other specialties.
