Nine large hydroelectric power plants have been put into operation within the Yenisey River basin, with two of them, Kureyskaya and Ust-Khantayskaya, located beyond the Arctic Circle. The Kureyskoye reservoir is a canyon-type reservoir with low temperatures, high flow rate and a distinctive oxygen regime. The main objective of this work is to perform stock assessment of the least cisco near the dam of the Kureyskoye Reservoir. In this research, biological stock characteristics of least cisco at the early stages of growth are presented for the first time. A sample of 199 individuals of least cisco was used. Fish were collected in July 2013, and in October-November 2016, 2018, 2019 in the water intake of the Kureyskaya dam, located in the southwestern part of the Kureyskoye Reservoir. The following stock characteristics were studied for the captured least cisco individuals: total length (TL, mm), fork length (FL, mm), standard length (SL, mm), body weight (W, g), sex, age of maturity. To determine the age of the fish, scales were used, selected on the part of the body between the lateral line and the dorsal fin, to count the number of sclerites in the annual rings. Individual absolute (IAF) and relative fertility (IRF) were evaluated by the volume-weight method for 20 females captured in 2019. The results of determining the age of fish were used to calculate the parameters of the von Bertalanfi growth equation. All statistical calculations were carried out in the R 4.2.3 environment using the FSA package (Ogle, 2016). The asymptotic length (FLinf), calculated with the von Bertalanfi equation, is 177.08±2.18, K (growth rate) = 1.19±0.14; t0 = 0.22±0.07. The studied least cisco becomes sexually mature at the age of 4.37±0.69 years. The individual absolute fertility (IAF) of the least cisco varies between 3031-7244 eggs, for which the mean is 5369±1007. Individual relative (IRF) fertility varies from 59 to 117, on average 89 ± 15 eggs per 1 g of female weight. Thus, the modern population of least cisco in the Kureyskoye Reservoir is characterized by a lower growth rate than in similar reservoirs, and in comparison with river forms. The existing growth rate makes it possible for fish to potentially reach sizes up to 17 cm, but the real population is mainly represented by fish of small size groups. Fertility indicators are within the limits for similar populations of the Siberian canyon-type reservoirs.

Chronic stress is one of the causes of depression. Various daily factors, accumulating, can lead to the formation of a constant state of stress and anxiety. In this study, we measured the ability of peptides of royal jelly, drone brood, and bee honey up to 5 kDa to reduce anxiety under chronic stress conditions in male Wistar rats. To do this, the animals of the control and experimental groups were subjected to random stress factors for 14 days (2 factors per day), while simultaneously receiving 0.9% NaCl solution (control group) or aqueous solutions of the corresponding peptides intranasally at a concentration of 300 μg/kg of body weight (peptides were obtained by a combination of ultrafiltration, ion exchange chromatography and gel-filtration). After 14 days, the level of anxiety in animals of all groups was measured using such behavioral tests as “Open field”, “Forced swimming” and “Light-dark box”. It was found that in the OF test, animals treated with royal jelly and drone brood peptides show shorter freezing time, higher horizontal and vertical locomotor activity, spend more time on research activities and grooming; in the FST animals of the same groups spent more time actively swimming; in the LDB test animals of the same groups spent more time in the illuminated part of the experimental setup and crossed the border between the dark and light parts more times. The results indicate that rats treated with royal jelly and drone brood peptides have lower levels of stress and anxiety compared to animals that received 0.9% NaCl solution (control group) or a solution of bee honey peptides. After conducting behavioral tests, the animals were withdrawn from the experiment and the concentration of corticosterone and ACTH was determined in the blood serum. It was found that there is no any changes in hormone concentrations between rats from control or experimental groups. Probably, the peptides of drone brood and royal jelly have an anxiolytic effect, without affecting the work of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, but acting through intracerebral molecular targets.
Correlation Between Aesthetic and Religious Functions in Works of Non-objective Art in the Space of Christian Churches
Authors:   Moscow State University of Civil Engineering, National Research University, Barashkov V. V.
Published: December 2023

The article reflects the results of the study of works of abstract art in the context of the interaction of Christian Western European churches with contemporary art. The close connection of this topic with the problem of the correlation between the aesthetic and religious functions of religious art is shown. As a result of the study, three main trends are revealed that are manifested in the works of modern abstract art in the church space: the aesthetic side of the work goes through several stages of religious correction, while influencing the artist's approach to abstract art; the aesthetic side of the work comes to the fore; the aesthetic and religious side of the work are almost in equal proportions. It is concluded that the meanings of abstract art are in demand in the situation of individualization of spiritual practices in the countries of modern Western Europe.
Emotions and Religion: Perspectives of the Theoretical Study
Authors:   Institute of Scientific Information for Social Sciences RAS, Zubkovskaya A. A.
Published: December 2023

The article deals with approaches to the theoretical study of emotions associated with religious experience. The purpose of the article is to analyze the prospects for the theoretical study of “religious emotions” in the “emotional turn” of contemporary humanities and social sciences. To determine the general frame of emotional-religious discourse, the phenomenological and anthropological research perspectives in the considered disciplinary field are investigated, as well as the confrontation of the universalist and constructivist approaches to the emotional nature of human in contemporary studies of emotions. Religious-emotional discourse is concretized by the example of explaining fear and using it within the framework of theories of the origin of religion. Religious fear is considered in the context of the phenomenological definition of religious feeling as the inexpressible “feeling of creature”, “numinous feeling”, “sublime feeling”. In conclusion, the author focuses on the dichotomy of “internal” and “external” for understanding religious experience as a subjective religious experience and its external expression through ritual, bodily and other practices, as well as on the use of modern evolutionary concepts to relieve tension between the universalist and constructivist views on the origin and development of human emotions.

Published: December 2023

The article attempts to analyze the problem of spirituality in the works of Chinese authors. The authors emphasize that in the studies of Chinese philosophers, ethnographers, historians, the problem of spirituality is presented in two aspects. Chinese authors explain spirituality as a spiritual culture that determines the degree of human spiritual activity in the study of Chinese culture. This explains the following fact. Chinese philosophers view Taoism, Confucianism, and Buddhism as the spiritual activities of the great sages. We see a different attitude towards the concept of spirituality when they interpret Russian Orthodoxy in China and its role in the formation of Russian culture. In the first case, we are talking about the role of the Orthodox Church in China directly. Therefore, Chinese authors focus on Orthodoxy as a liturgical activity in the context of their research. When they analyze the role of the Orthodox faith in Russian culture, they write about it as a factor that shapes the Russian character and mentality. An analysis of the works of Chinese authors led to the following conclusion. The interpretation of spirituality in the works of Chinese authors is presented as a spiritual social activity. The article presents the works of Chinese philosophers who have not been addressed in Russian studies.

Authors:   Irkutsk State University, Sebekin S. A.
Published: December 2023

The article is devoted to the consideration of the potential possibilities of introducing artificial intelligence systems based on machine learning into political processes to solve a wide range of political problems. Among the promising areas of implementation of algorithms in politics, the following can be distinguished: analysis of huge amounts of data on political processes, support for making internal and external political decisions, development of effective action programs, forecasting of political processes. In addition, the challenges and threats that the introduction of politicallyoriented algorithms in political processes produces are analyzed. At the same time, some of the specific forms of application of AI systems may have a pronounced malicious character. It is concluded that the large-scale introduction of AI systems into political processes produces many significant challenges to the inclusive democratic process, and the use of politically-oriented AI technologies for political purposes puts the issue of trust in political institutions and democracy in general on the agenda of society.

The aim of this article is to conceptualize the processes of constitution and institutionalization of Russia’s image by the Russian academic community at the beginning of the 21st century. I focus on the role of religious studies in the production of the concept of Russia as a nation with successful practices of religious pluralism, with a developing model of a post-secular society where religious communities are seen as part of civic society that can serve as one of the foundations for Russia’s civilization state’s stability as a commonwealth of peoples with different religious identities. Knowledge produced by religious studies will, in our opinion, only become more significant for the task of determining Russia’s civilizational strategy in the 21st century, including both theory and methodology, and practice.

The article raises the issue of changing gender roles in the modern society. It focuses on developing gender identity in children while studying at school, and the role of both adults and peers in this process. The author has shown the difference between the concepts of “identification” and “identity”, with the concept “identification” having three categories. The article presents the analysis of the theories describing the way gender roles are acquired in the course of gender identification development, the theories revealing psychological mechanism of gender identification. There are two groups of gender differences: those that are inborn and biologically conditioned, and the ones forming in the process of socialization. The study has scientific significance as it analyzes the theories describing the process of gender identification in children during the period of schooling viewed from the perspective of its social conditioning.

Published: December 2023

The article presents the results of the study of some peculiarities of viability and coping strategies of lean and overweight people both satisfied and unsatisfied with their own body. It has been revealed that the subjects satisfied with their own body show similar indices of viability and coping strategies irrespectively their real body mass. Overweight subjects unsatisfied with their own body show remarkably lower indices of viability, and in personally important situations of all coping strategies they use the strategies of avoidance and taking responsibility more often rather than the strategy of planning to solve the problem. This group of subjects have the attitude to a body that is in a negative correlation towards viability indices and such coping strategies as the planning of problem solving, positive reassessment, and self-control.

Authors: Putra Wahyu Hanafi , Meilia Wijayanti Lisma
Published: December 2023

This study aims to describe the epistemic segression of foreign languages ??in Islamic boarding schools in the modernization era in the context of communication ethnography. This research uses a qualitative approach with the type of Library Research. The data used in this study were obtained from various scientific literature that reviews foreign language learning in Islamic boarding schools. The data collection technique used by researchers is documentation. The data analysis technique uses content analysis. The results of this study state that the Arabic language taught in traditional Islamic boarding schools has an ethnological message. Santri are able to read the yellow book and understand fiqh, tasawuf, kalam, and tafsir literature. Traditional Islamic boarding schools' cultural traditions also influence the folklore process in forming non-verbal language. Symbols become a semiotic element of conveying non-verbal language messages. Santri can communicate well in foreign languages ??to face globalization, so in this community, language becomes essential in driving Islamic boarding school life. Verbal language folklore will quickly form with activities that require foreign languages ??in every situation. The goals of learning foreign languages ??and folklore in the two pesantren will affect different language constructions. Language is a factor in forming a relatively heterogeneous pesantren speech community.

Carcake as a healthy and nutritious dessert
Authors: Labatjo R. , Setiawan D.I.
Published: December 2023

Vitamin A deficiency (VAD) is among the nutritional issues in Indonesia. Addressing the
issue of vitamin A deficiency and food diversification are performed by making a product
that uses available and cheap raw materials containing provitamin A such as the carrots.
Carrots have various nutrients and chemical compounds such as antioxidants and
carotenoids. This study aimed to determine the consumer acceptance of the carcake (carrot
cake) with carrot flour as a substitute ingredient. This descriptive-analytical research
relied on a valid experimental method using an analytic observational approach with a
completely randomized design. The carcake is a modified cake using carrot flour
substitution with different concentrations (100%, 80%, 70%, 60% and 50%). Friedman
test was used to determine the most favorite formula. Based on hedonic testing, the values
obtained for color, taste, aroma, and texture aspects were 36.76%, 38.86%, 39.39% and
36.42%, respectively, for each formula with carrot flour addition concentrations of 100%,
70%, and 60%. The selected formula of the carcake was 150 g of carrot flour in term of
taste, aroma, color and texture. Substitution of carrot flour in carcake is acceptable as
alternative to improve vitamin A intake.

The aim of this methodological paper is to report on a way to pre-test semi-structured interview questions using both the expert review and cognitive interview methods for multiple case study research. Pre-testing, a type of pilot study, is important to ensure semi-structured interview questions can achieve the desired goal of rigour in the qualitative research process ensuring construct validity and reliability. Expert reviews can be undertaken using a modified Qualitative Appraisal System (QAS-99) questionnaire and cognitive interviews using Tourangeau’s four-stage cognitive model with verbal probes and concurrent probing. Modifications can then be made to the initial semi-structured interview questions resulting in a final semi-structured interview protocol. Reflective insights in the pre-testing process should also be documented. As there is a dearth of reports on how to undertake pre-testing of semi-structured interview questions using both the expert review and cognitive interview methods, this paper provides a valuable methodological guide for qualitative researchers in the preparation and development of a semi-structured interview protocol especially for multiple case study research.

Published: December 2023

Purpose: The objective of this study was to identify new links between Integrated Reporting (IR) and Intellectual Capital (IC) fields, useful for sustainability and climate change disclosures with ISSB standards.
 
Theoretical Framework: The literature that has integrated IC and IR fields has been developed, mainly from the IC research perspective, addressing a wide range of thematic specializations that emerge when analyzing the research areas.
 
Design/Methodology/Approach: We developed a Structured Literature Review (SLR) of articles indexed in Scopus, which allowed us to build a specific analytical framework from emerging categories; we rely on AtlasTi and VOSviewer software.
 
Findings: We found that the literature converges towards the following research areas: Reviews and reflections on the IR framework as a means for IC disclosure; Proposals to improve the IR framework and IR disclosures through IR; The IR framework and definition, measurement, and management of IC within organizations; disclosures of CI in contexts of practical adoption of RI; Disclosure of IC through IR, its determinants, and effects.
 
Research, Practical & Social Implications: We identified the need to advance research under a performative approach, research on stakeholder satisfaction by revealing IC through IR and the relationship of IC with information related to sustainability in the new ISSB context. The paper identifies previously unexamined connections between IC and IR and proposes future avenues of research.
 
Originality/Value: This study raises the need for increased policy research to define a common language for presenting comparable IC information in ISSB sustainability reports. In addition, studies are needed to help identify IC information, other IR capital and metrics, which could represent material information for investors to assess sustainability-related risks and opportunities.
PSYCH EMOTIONAL CONSEQUENCES OF ONCOLOGICAL DISEASES IN CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS AT LONG STAGES AND THEIR PSYCHOTHERAPEUTIC CORRECTION. LITERATURE REVIEW
Authors: Y.A. Titova
Published: December 2023

The need to analyze the literature to study information about the psycho-emotional consequences of cancer in children and adolescents at long-term stages, as well as their psychotherapeutic correction, is dictated by the high prevalence of mental disorders in the long-term period and insufficient knowledge of the possibility of their compensation. Purpose: to analyze the literature to study the psycho-emotional consequences of cancer in patients who suffered cancer in childhood or adolescence, as well as the psychotherapeutic correction of these patients. General information. Stress factors associated with cancer cause many psychological problems and affect all aspects of a child’s life, including causing serious changes in the emotional, cognitive, personal and behavioral spheres. Many emerging disorders persist even in the stage of long-term remission, causing a decrease in the quality of life and difficulties in social adaptation. In pediatric patients, the condition is characterized by pronounced asthenia, emotional instability, a large number of fears, and aggressive manifestations. neurocognitive disorders, difficulty learning, mastering new skills, problems with memory, concentration and attention, speed of information processing, depression. Also often mentioned: fear of illness, low self-esteem, difficulty returning to school and to a group of emotionally significant peers, dependence on adults who care for them during treatment, behavioral deviations, sleep disorders, more frequent depressive reactions, increased anxiety, change perception of the world and oneself in it and much more. Psychotherapeutic correction in combination with psychopharmacotherapy shows itself to be the most effective. In some cases, psychotherapeutic effects used as monotherapy are effective. Psychotherapy for conditions caused by stress is based on pathogenetic principles based on the psychology of relationships. The goal of psychotherapeutic work with adolescents and children with cancer is, first of all, prevention and correction of psychopathological reactions. Individual psychotherapy, which allows you to devote more time and attention to the child than group work, is proving to be the most effective in practice today. Among the many psychotherapeutic techniques used in the structure of assistance to children and adolescents, the most widely used are body-oriented therapy, short-term interpersonal therapy, and art therapy.
To reduce the incidence of mental pathology after illness and achieve its maximum compensation, a multidisciplinary approach is required.

Relevance: the level of disability is an important indicator of health. The population of the Far Eastern Federal District is adversely affected by various factors, among which environmental problems play a significant role. For the successful functioning of the healthcare system and public health, one of the leading tasks is to track relevant statistical indicators for certain periods of time, to establish the causes of the prevalence of disability in the country's territories. The purpose of this work was to study the peculiarities of the prevalence of disability among the population of Khabarovsk and Primorsky Krai by conducting a comparative analysis of disability indicators in various categories: age, gender, and also depending on the cause of disability. Materials and methods. The objects of the study was Khabarovsk and Primorsky Krai. The statistical data of disability among the population of the Khabarovsk and Primorsky Territories for 2019-2022 were studied. The analysis was carried out on the basis of data from the Federal Register of Persons with Disabilities, the Federal State Statistics Service, and the Unified Interdepartmental Information and Statistical System. Results and their discussion. Based on the analysis of the frequency of disability in the regions under consideration, a decrease in the total number of disabled people was revealed. When comparing groups distributed by gender, it was revealed that the level of disability among women is higher than among men in both regions considered. Among the groups of disabled people compared by age, persons of retirement age prevail, and a smaller proportion of all disabled people are disabled children. In the dynamics of the study, the number of disabled people among young, middle-aged and retired people decreased, but the negative feature was the growth of disabled people among children of both regions. In the groups distributed according to the reasons of disability, the disability associated with common diseases was the most numerous. Conclusion. High levels of disability in the studied territories of the Far Eastern Federal District require a more detailed study of their individual causes and improvement of the health care system in these regions.

Beautiful, healthy teeth shining with healthy whiteness are an aspect of external attractiveness, success in other areas of life. Teeth whitening is a conservative method of aesthetic dentistry. A snow-white smile has taken a strong position in the beauty industry. However, the most common side effect of whitening is tooth hyperesthesia. Of the 150 patients surveyed, 132 people (88%) resorted to teeth whitening in their lives and only 18 people are categorically against teeth whitening. 59 people (45%) out of 132 teeth whitening patients regularly visit a dentist for professional whitening and selection of home whitening methods, the Phillips Zoom home whitening system. However, there is a category of patients - 73 people (55%) do not go to dental clinics, but use certain methods of home whitening on their own. Most often, they buy Crest whitening strips at the pharmacy, use apple cider vinegar, citric acid, or brush their teeth using ground birch (activated) charcoal. Of these 73 people, fifteen had tooth enamel hyperesthesia after brushing their teeth with birch (activated) charcoal. Therefore, despite the wide range of bleaching agents in the arsenal of a dentist, it seems necessary to develop, test and implement tools and methods for a quick, gentle and financially inexpensive way to whiten teeth. We have proposed an Eco-whitening complex of teeth, consisting of: Molasses, Silicon Dioxide, Sorbitol and White Wax / Gelatin. Eco-whitening complex is presented in the form of a sticker or chewing gum.
Preliminary results of using the developed Eco-whitening complex of teeth showed that it does not harm health and the environment (does not require disposal). The teeth of 70% of the subjects, with the time of using this composition, whitened by two tones, the sensitivity did not increase, the tooth enamel was without mechanical damage. The use of the complex does not require adherence to the "white diet". The effectiveness of the developed Eco-whitening complex of teeth has been confirmed. It is easy to use, but not without drawbacks, requires storage in the refrigerator and the shelf life does not exceed 7 days. It is necessary to continue work on the improvement of the Eco-whitening complex of teeth to eliminate the identified shortcomings.

Published: December 2023

Current: Every year the number of patients with malignant neoplasms in the world is steadily growing. The leading place among all oncological diseases in the female population is occupied by breast cancer, which accounts for about 22% of all cancer patients. Cancer incidence in industrial centers (such as the Komi Republic) is higher than in other areas. Diagnosis and treatment in hard-to-reach regions with severe climatic conditions is complicated. This requires a special approach to the organization of healthcare. The aim of the study is to identify the features of the spread of malignant neoplasms of the breast among the female population in the Komi Republic and to assess mortality, the system of prevention, diagnosis and medical care. Materials and methods: The paper analyzes statistical data on morbidity and mortality from breast cancer from 2011 to 2021. The results obtained in the Komi Republic were compared with those in the Russian Federation. Statistical data of the Unified Interdepartmental Information and Statistical System (EMISS) on the epidemiological situation associated with the incidence of malignant neoplasms were used. Research results over the past decade, from 2011 to 2021, the incidence of malignant neoplasms of the breast in women living in the Komi Republic remained high relative to the national average. The peak values of morbidity were noted in 2015-2016 and 2019. Mortality from breast cancer in the region had a downward trend. At the same time, it turned out to be significantly lower than the average in Russia. In recent years, significant progress has been noted in the early diagnosis of malignant neoplasms of the breast. This is due to an increase in the number of medical workers providing primary health care. In this regard, the chances of patients to survive and transition to the disease in remission have increased.

Published: December 2023

In the modern world, there is an increase in the interest of the working-age population in sports, which is accompanied by an increase in sports injuries. In the structure of sports injuries, about 50% are injuries of the knee joint. Damage to the knee joint leads to a decrease in a person’s performance, up to disability, which makes it urgent to develop new, more accurate and effective methods for diagnosing and treating injuries to the knee joint.
The purpose of the presented work is to determine the effectiveness of using modernized methods of magnetic resonance imaging of the knee joint.
Currently, both non-invasive (ultrasound, radiography, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging) and invasive (arthroscopy) research methods are used to diagnose injuries of the knee joint. When analyzing various diagnostic methods, it was noted that the magnetic resonance imaging method is a priority, since with high information content it is safer compared to X-ray methods. Described in the work of Filimonova A.M., the magnetic resonance imaging protocol has been shown to be effective for the assessment of traumatic injuries of the shoulder joint. Based on this protocol, we developed a protocol for magnetic resonance imaging of the knee joint.
Materials and methods: magnetic resonance imaging study of the knee joint was carried out according to a new protocol in 20 patients. The results obtained were confirmed arthroscopically.
Results: the developed protocol showed its effectiveness in diagnosing injuries to the ligamentous apparatus of the knee joint, meniscal tears and damage to hyaline cartilage. The results obtained were fully consistent with arthroscopy data. A study is currently ongoing to statistically evaluate the effectiveness of this protocol.

Personal reasons that prevent the use of applications are shown. Particular attention is paid to personal motivational barriers in the age groups of older people from 65 to 80 years and 80 years and older. Conclusion. The results allowed to outline the main vectors for further improvement of mobile applications for the provision of medication treatment to seniors.
COAGULASE-NEGATIVE STAPHYLOCOCCI AS ETIOLOGICAL FACTOR OF PURIOUS-SEPTIC INFECTIONS IN THE DENTAL HOSPITAL
Authors: Yu.N. Maslov , L.A. Galyamova , A.Yu. Ponomarev
Published: December 2023

In the etiological structure of purulent-septic infections, there is a tendency to increase the role of conditionally pathogenic bacteria, previously considered insignificant in human pathology. These include coagulase-negative staphylococci. An important condition for increasing the clinical significance of any microorganism is its ability to circulate in the nosocomial environment, forming hospital strains with increased resistance and virulence. Identification of circulating microbial strains requires the use of costly and labor-intensive molecular genetic methods.
The purpose of the study is to show the role of coagulase-negative staphylococci as an etiological factor in purulent-septic infections in a dental hospital, as well as to assess their prevalence in the nosocomial environment.
The article reflects the clinical structure of purulent-septic infections in a dental hospital for 3 years of work, the results of bacteriological studies of wound transudate and sanitary-microbiological studies of objects in the hospital environment. To identify circulating strains of coagulase-negative staphylococci, an original phenotypic epidemiological marker was used – the complex of indicators of the strains sensitivity to antiseptics, disinfectants and aniline dyes.
The study showed that staphylococci were the reason of 30.8% of cases of purulent-septic infections of the maxillofacial region. Coagulase-negative species were more common than Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus): 52.5% versus 47.5%. The leading species are S. epidermidis, S. saprophyticus and S. haemolyticus. In 47.1% of cases, their strains were methicillin-resistant. Incomplete sensitivity of cultures of coagulase-negative staphylococci to a chlorine-containing disinfectant was noted. A prolonged (up to 3 weeks) presence of strains of coagulase-negative staphylococci with identical characteristics was revealed in the nosocomial environment of a dental hospital.
Thus, coagulase-negative staphylococci are among the leading pathogens of purulent-septic infections of the maxillofacial region. A number of isolates have features of hospital strains: multiple antimicrobial resistance and circulation in the nosocomial environment.

This paper analyzes the effectiveness of medical and psychological measures in women who are in a situation of reproductive choice and who applied for the termination of an unwanted pregnancy. The study was conducted on the basis of the Center for Medical and Social Assistance to Pregnant Women in Difficult Life Situations (GBUZ "MC Dynasty"). Research methods: sociological, analytical, statistical. The study included 151 women aged 16 to 45 years (mean age 32.3+3.4 years) who applied to the medical center for abortion. From January to June 2023, an anonymous monitoring was conducted to study the causes of abortion in this group of women, as well as a study of the relationship between meaningful life orientations and psychological readiness in women who decided to have an abortion. Based on the data obtained, medical and psychological measures were developed and their effectiveness was assessed. Results: the proposed medical and psychological measures can significantly increase the frequency of refusal to terminate a pregnancy, and are recommended for implementation. Out of 151 women who applied to the center for termination of pregnancy and completed the medical and psychological program in full, 38 women changed their decisions in favor of maintaining the pregnancy, which amounted to 25.2%.

Вackground. Coronavirus (COVID-19) infection caused by SARS-CoV-2 virus is associated with a wide spectrum of clinical respiratory syndromes ranging from mild upper respiratory tract symptoms to progressive viral pneumonia and systemic multinflammatory syndrome, as well as endothelial dysfunction and thrombotic complications. Despite the decline of the pandemic, the problem of the prolonged course of SARS-CoV-2 remains relevant.
Aim of the study. To present a clinical case of Sars-Cov-2 long infection with development of severe lung and myocardial damage with negative results of PCR-analysis of pharyngeal and nasal swabs.
Characteristics of patients and methods of research. A clinical case demonstrating a variant of prolonged course of coronavirus infection accompanied by the development of pneumonitis and myocarditis is presented in this work. Blood smear morphometry, monocyte analysis (flow cytometry), T lymphocyte analysis were performed in addition to standard methods of examination.
Results and Conclusion. The presented clinical case demonstrates a variant of prolonged course of coronavirus infection, in which SARS-CoV-2 virus was encapsulated in the lungs and avoided the formation of a specific immune response. Severe lung and myocardial damage with negative results of PCR analysis of pharyngeal and nasal swabs was observed. Pulse therapy with corticosteroids resulted in regression of the disease.

The impact of a new coronavirus infection (COVID-19) on the course of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and the development of complications in the long term remains an open question. This article presents the results of a study examining the dynamics of changes in the structural and functional parameters of the left heart in COPD patients who have had Covid-19 12 months after discharge from the hospital. Materials and methods. The prospective controlled trial included 73 patients with COPD who were divided into 2 groups: Group 1 (n=43) - patients with a history COVID-19; Group 2 (n=30) - patients without a history of COVID-19. The analysis included the results of a double echocardiographic examination of the left heart of the patients over a period of 12 months. Results and Discussion. It was found that in the acute phase of COVID-19, there were higher values LAV index, left ventricular (LV) end-diastolic volume (EDV) and LV end-diastolic size (EDS) (p>0.05) in-group 1. In12 months, both groups had mean values at the upper limit of normal. However, a significant increase in LV end-systolic size (p<0.05) and LV end-diastolic volume (EDV) (p<0.01) was observed in patients of group 1. LV EDS and LV EDV were also significantly higher in-group 1 (p<0.05). Initially, the normal type of LV diastolic function predominated in both groups. However, there were significantly more patients with LV diastolic dysfunction in-group 1 (χ2=4.59; p<0.05). At 12 months after COVID-19 in patients with COPD, there was an increase in E/a and the E/e' ratio (p<0.01). The relative risk of detecting LV diastolic dysfunction was 2.96 in-group 2. Thus, in patients with COPD against the background of COVID-19, early signs of LV dysfunction are detected, which worsen significantly after 12 months, and the risk of detecting LV diastolic dysfunction increases.

The purpose of the study: to perform mathematical modeling of the need for outpatient medical care for diseases of the circulatory system in the population of older male age groups. Materials and methods of research. As a source of primary information, we used data on cases of medical care provided to the population of older age groups (60 years and older). The probability of treatment in each one-year age range, starting from the age of 60 years, was studied. 41 points were used to construct the dynamic curve. The calculation was made per 1000 population of the corresponding age and gender. The principle of constructing mathematical models was based on a functional approach. As a result of this approach, a system of linear and nonlinear equations was obtained, in each of which the dependence of the volume of medical care on predictor variables was expressed. In this case, age and gender were used as predictor variables. Results. Algebraic formulas were obtained for modeling the level of need for medical care provided in outpatient settings in relation to three blocks of causes (group A of causes). The impact on the level of need of other reasons can be determined using a correction factor. Such coefficients should be applied to the estimated value of the need for three blocks of reasons included in Group A of reasons.
