Objective: To determine the difference between patients and dentists regarding the assessment of attributes for choosing a dental center in Trujillo, Peru. Materials and Methods: A comparative cross-sectional observational study was conducted involving a sample of 162 dentists and 162 patients from the Trujillo province in Peru. The data was collected through a virtual questionnaire, validated by experts, and assessed for reliability. Statistical analysis was performed using the U-Mann Whitney and Spearman correlation tests, with a significance level set at 5%. Results: Patients, in comparison to dentists, demonstrated a greater preference for selecting a dental center where the practitioner is a recognized specialist (p<0.001). Similarly, patients showed a preference for centers offering expedited appointments, advanced technology, and equipment, providing affordable and flexible payment options, free consultations, and having convenient parking and comfortable facilities (p<0.05). Conversely, dentists perceived that the most valued attribute by patients is the recommendation of the dentist (p=0.031). Conclusions: When choosing a dental center, patients primarily value attributes related to both the professional responsible for care and administrative management. Conversely, dentists consider the main factor influencing a patient’s choice of dental center to be recommendations of the dentist.

El exceso de zinc reduce el crecimiento de plantas de cebolla (Allium cepa L.)
Authors: Casierra-Posada Fánor , Trujillo-Niño Luis Miguel
Published: July 2024

A pesar de que el zinc (Zn) es un elemento esencial para el metabolismo de las plantas, las actividades antrópicas y las malas prácticas agrícolas, así como también, el uso frecuente de plaguicidas y fertilizantes ricos en este elemento pueden causar que niveles tóxicos de Zn estén disponibles para las plantas. Se realizó en Tunja, Colombia, un trabajo en invernadero en el que plántulas de cebolla de bulbo (Allium cepa L.) se expusieron a 0 (control), 20, 40, y 80 mg L-1 de Zn en solución nutritiva. El exceso de Zn en la solución tuvo un efecto bastante drástico sobre la acumulación de peso seco, también redujo los valores de la tasa absoluta de crecimiento, del área foliar especifica, del consumo de agua, de la eficiencia en el uso del agua, del área foliar, de la longitud de raíces y, por el contrario, incrementó el contenido de solidos solubles totales en el zumo del bulbo. De este modo, la mayoría de las variables relacionadas con el crecimiento fueron afectadas negativamente a partir de 20 mg L-1 de Zn en la solución. Además, el efecto tóxico del Zn es más drástico cuando las plantas crecen en solución nutritiva en comparación a cuando crecen en suelo. Por otro lado, el experimento duró solo hasta 54 días después del trasplante, dado que fue el momento máximo que pudieron soportar las plantas, especialmente aquellas que se expusieron a contenidos de Zn más elevados, con lo que se puede inferir que estas plantas tienen baja tolerancia a contenidos elevados de Zn en el sustrato.
The Double Burden: The Digital Exclusion and Identity Crisis of Elderly Patients in Rural China
Authors: Zhu Runping , Yu Xinxin , Krever Richard
Published: July 2024

The rapid digitalization of China’s healthcare system, a phenomenon that accelerated during the Covid-19 pandemic, had two negative consequences for a significant portion of elderly persons in China. The first is an unfortunate practical outcome: their exclusion from many health services such as online medical appointment platforms, e-prescription requests, obtaining e-referrals, and sharing electronic medical records. The second is an emotionally debilitating identity crisis as elderly persons’ former status as knowledgeable senior mentors was replaced with social perceptions of them as helpless and ignorant souls reliant on more youthful persons for guidance and assistance. This article adopts a grounded theory to explore the phenomenon from the perception of excluded elderly persons using participatory observation and in-depth interviews of 44 elderly clients of a rural hospital in the Shandong province in eastern China. The study shows that the current focus on direct practical aspects of digital exclusion may fail to capture the impact and ancillary consequences such as a painful loss of self-esteem by the digitally excluded. As the study illustrates, the practical aspects can all be overcome through intervention by those who aid the digitally excluded but this help may exacerbate the rarely considered ancillary harms of digital exclusion. Studies of digital exclusion will make more significant contributions to our understanding of the phenomenon if they look beyond the obvious direct consequences of digital exclusion to consider possible ancillary and flow-on effects.
FOREIGN POLICY OF J. KENNEDY: THE PERSONAL FACTOR IN THE COOPERATION BETWEEN THE PRESIDENT AND SECRETARY OF STATE D. RUSK
Authors: Klynina Tetiana ,   National Aviation University, Kyiv, Ukraine
Published: July 2024

The proposed article is devoted to the figure of Secretary of State Dean Rusk during the presidency of John F. Kennedy in 1961–1963, with special attention to the interpersonal relationship between him and the president. The purpose of the work is to emphasize the importance of studying the interaction between the president and the secretary of state, which often plays a key role in the formulation and implementation of the foreign policy of the United States of America. The ability of the president and his secretary of state to listen to each other and communicate effectively can determine success or failure in implementing foreign policy initiatives and managing crisis situations. The research methodology is based on a critical analysis of scientific literature, as well as on the application of problem-chronological and systemic approaches. The basic principles of the article are the principle of historicism, objectivity and scientificity. Comparative, historical-systemic, historical-genetic methods are used for scientific understanding of the proposed problem. The scientific novelty of the article consists in drawing the attention of researchers to the figure of Dean Rusk, as well as in offering a different point of view on Dean Rusk’s place in the relationship with President J. Kennedy. Contrary to the prevailing view of Dean Rusk’s insecurity, mysteriousness, and modesty as the key to his failure as the president’s foreign policy advisor, we argue that these aspects became «victorious» in interaction with the president, acting as a certain «balancing factor» of J. Kennedy’s activism. Conclusions. The relationship between John F. Kennedy and Dean Rusk was complicated and occasionally strained. J. Kennedy and D. Rusk had different views on foreign policy issues. J. Kennedy often avoided the opinions of D. Rusk, did not always fully trust him, or did not consider his opinion reliable. Wanting to be the main initiator of the foreign policy of the United States of America. The crises that the US faced in the early 1960s were partly the result of the politics of interpersonal attitudes: both Dean Rusk and J. Kennedy were individuals who did not correspond to the essence of America in the late 1950s and early 1960s (in the context of a globalized understanding of foreign policy), however, it is unlikely that Kennedy would have been able to find a better candidate for the position of Secretary of State than Dean Rusk (in the context of interpersonal relations).
Assessment of the degree of inflammatory reaction in uveitis: diagnostic capabilities of clinical methods
Authors: Gndoyan Irina A. , Petraevsky Aleksei V. , Chubarikova Viktoriya V.
Published: July 2024

Inflammatory diseases of the uvea demonstrate a high incidence and a significant prevalence among people of working age. Uveitis complications often lead to blindness and low vision in patients of various age groups. Diagnostics and monitoring the efficacy of uveitis therapy requires the use of quantitative criteria to assess the degree of inflammatory reaction. The aim of this review is to analyze the informative value and accuracy of various clinical methods for subjective and objective assessment of the inflammatory reaction in the anterior and posterior segments of the eye in uveitis. To assess the inflammatory reaction in uveitis in everyday clinical practice, biomicroscopy is most often used, which is characterized by subjectivity associated with the level of qualification of the ophthalmologist. Other clinical methods, such as fluorescein angiography, optical coherence tomography-angiography, have high sensitivity and informative value along with independence from the subjective impression of the examiner. However, the first of them is invasive, and the second is still not available to a wide range of practicing ophthalmologists today, especially in the “angio” mode. Laser flare photometry is of special importance in the diagnosis of uveitis. It is both a non-invasive and sensitive method that makes it possible to obtain quantitative indicators characterizing the activity of uveal inflammation. The prospects for the application and development of this method are important both for clinical practice and for research purposes.

Published: July 2024

BACKGROUND: Juvenile idiopathic arthritis is the most common rheumatic disease in children, and uveitis is its most destructive extra-articular manifestation. Despite the existence of Federal clinical guidelines for the management of these patients, their treatment is largely based on the experience of doctors and varies greatly even within the same country.
AIM: The aim of the study is to find factors for predicting the course of uveitis and optimizing therapy.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The case histories of 150 children aged 1.5 to 17 years with active uveitis in the structure of juvenile arthritis were analyzed using multifactorial modeling (construction of classification trees).
RESULTS: The fact of a significant influence of the time elapsed from the onset of rheumatic disease and uveitis until the start of therapy by genetically engineered medications (tumor necrosis factor alpha inhibitors) in treatment programs has been established.
CONCLUSIONS: Thus, the inclusion of this factor into the group of controlling ones makes it possible to achieve inactive uveitis status after 1, 3, and 6 months in a higher percentage of cases. However, the obtained data still require additional clinical confirmation.
Routine Coronary Angiography and Functional Cardiac Tests before Resection of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm in Patients without Symptoms of Myocardial Infarction
Authors: Abrosimov Aleksey V. , Chupin Andrey V. , Kharazov Aleksandr F. , Troshin Evgeniy M. , Masalimov Nail' R.
Published: July 2024

INTRODUCTION: Cardiac complications are leaders in the structure of mortality of patients after resection of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). In recent years more data have been obtained on the possibility of performing invasive coronary angiography (CAG) as a method of preoperative assessment of the condition of the coronary arteries.
AIM: To assess the tactics of routine CAG and preventive revascularization of the myocardium in comparison with non-invasive functional tests in patients without clinical manifestations of coronary heart disease (CHD) from positions of the hospital outcomes of AAA resections.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective study included 205 patients without clinical and instrumental signs of CHD who underwent AAA resection at National Medical Research Center of Surgery named after A. Vishnevsky in 2001–2021. Patients of the first group (n = 55) underwent CAG before AAA resection and, if significant stenosis of coronary arteries was detected, revascularization of the myocardium was performed. In patients of the second group (n = 71), only functional cardiac tests were conducted before the operation. Patients of the third group were operated on without additional evaluation of cardiac status.
RESULTS: In 30.9% of patients of the first group, significant coronary lesions were detected, in 29.5% of them with the involvement of the left main coronary artery. This required 10 percutaneous coronary interventions and 5 coronary artery bypass surgeries, which made 27.0% of patients in this group. No cases of myocardial infarction were recorded in this group. In the second and third groups, one case of myocardial infarction in each group was recorded (p = 0.688). There was no significant difference in the postoperative mortality in all the groups (1.8%; 4.2%; 2.5%, respectively; p = 0.704). To this end, maximally invasive diagnostic tactics increased the average waiting time for AAA resection: 52.2 ± 6.0 days in groups without coronary angiography and myocardial revascularization versus 99.2 ± 13.0 days in the first group.
CONCLUSION: In a cohort of patients without anamnestic and clinical manifestations of coronary artery disease, the tactics of routine coronary angiography followed by prophylactic myocardial revascularization did not improve the short-term results of AAA resection, while the waiting period for intervention on the abdominal aorta increased. Preoperative tactics with functional cardiac tests also did not affect the treatment results.

Authors: Lukasheva Ol'ga V. , Makarov Konstantin Yu. , Bortsov Viktor A. , Sokolova Tat'yana M. , Yur'yeva Tat'yana A.
Published: July 2024

INTRODUCTION: Caring of reproductive health of children and adolescents in the society, especially of adolescent girls as a group most vulnerable to risks in the reproductive sphere, continues to be of high importance. The studies confirm that education and awareness about reproductive health can reduce the probability of problems occurring. The existing legal regulations emphasize the importance of providing accurate and timely information of reproductive health.
AIM: Scientific justification of the strategy of forming safe reproductive behavior of adolescent girls on the basis of the peculiarities of their current reproductive behavior taking into account the opinion of specialists in the fields of education and healthcare.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: To assess the peculiarities of reproductive behavior of adolescent girls, an anonymous questionnaire survey of 400 adolescent girls was conducted. To determine the expectations of the participants of the sex education process, as well as the main directions of preventive work and education, a survey of 400 parents of adolescent girls, 86 pediatricians, 34 obstetricians-gynecologists and 420 teachers was conducted. For all groups of participants, author’s questionnaires were developed.
RESULTS: The reproductive behavior of adolescent girls living in the territory of the Novosibirsk region, is characterized by early start of sex life (15.90 ± 0.14 years), promiscuity (1.70 ± 1.10 partners), refusal to use effective means of contraception. Parents of adolescent girls emphasize the leading role of the family in sex education, suggesting participation of doctors and teachers in the process, but remain dissatisfied with the intensity of preventive measures. A similar problem is emphasized by specialists in the healthcare and education systems who indicate the possibility of conducting preventive work with adolescent girls remotely. In the opinion of pediatricians and obstetricians-gynecologists, providing preventive information on the reproductive health and behavior, will not only create safe reproductive behavior for modern adolescents, but is also an effective strategy of improving the system of reproductive health protection.
CONCLUSION: The study identified features of the reproductive behavior of adolescent girls that characterize it as risky. The results emphasize the need for an integrated approach to assessing and maintaining the health of adolescent girls, and also focus attention on the importance of educational work in this age group. The study serves as a basis for further preventive strategies in the field of reproductive health and education.

Published: July 2024

INTRODUCTION: Mammals are almost constantly exposed to a variety of stressors. The changes in the concentration of corticosterone and the level of glucose in blood of animals under such conditions seems relevant for understanding the influence of repeated stress effects on endocrine and metabolic processes.
AIM: To study the concentrations of corticosterone and glucose in blood of rats in different time periods of prolonged low-intensity unpredictable stress.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Experiments were carried out on 42 male Wistar rats. Individuals of the experimental groups were subjected to 7-day cycles of alternating stressors using a modified model of chronic unpredictable mild stress with presentation of different stressors. The concentration of corticosterone and glucose in blood was determined at 1, 2, 3 and 4 weeks of observation.
RESULTS: A pronounced decrease in corticosterone levels was found in rats at 1 week of stress exposure, followed by a slow recovery by the end of 4th week. Blood glucose level increased at 2 weeks of exposure.
CONCLUSION: The data obtained illustrate the specificity of changes in the levels of glucose and corticosterone in the blood of mammals in different time periods of chronic stress. These changes characterize the dysregulation of the integrative physiological systems in relatively early periods of chronic stress with the subsequent development of adaptation in the later stages of repeated stress exposures.

Published: July 2024

German textbooks encompass various facets of German culture. However, teachers in Indonesia often overlook the significance of German culture. The primary objective of this study is to provide a comprehensive account of the German cultural components found within German language textbooks used in Indonesian universities. To achieve this goal, a descriptive qualitative methodology was employed, where the textbooks were analyzed according to Byram's theory of eight cultural dimensions.  The utilised textbooks include Netzwerk A1, Netzwerk A2, and Netzwerk B1, which align with language skill levels A1, A2, and B1 according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). Each textbook set consists of a coursebook and a workbook. The findings of the analysis revealed that the most prevalent cultural elements encompassed social interaction, stereotypes and national identity, and socialization and life cycle. The implications of these findings indicate that social interaction, as the most prominent cultural aspect, reinforces the educational objectives of German language courses, specifically in terms of fostering the development of communicative competence.Aspek budaya Jerman: Analisis buku ajar bahasa Jerman di perguruan tinggi IndonesiaBuku ajar bahasa Jerman mengandung berbagai aspek budaya Jerman.

USING DUBBING AND SUBTITLING METHODS THROUGH FILM IN MOTIVATING STUDENTS IN ENGLISH SPEAKING AND CONVERSATION
Authors: Fitria Tira Nur
Published: July 2024

This research describes the use of the dubbing and subtitling method through film in motivating students in English speaking/conversation. This research is library research. The analysis shows that the video project of dubbing in the film is engaging, motivating, and effective in improving language abilities. However, film media using dubbing can be combined with subtitling methods to make English learning more interesting, imaginative, and engaging. It means that both dubbing and subtitling can be used to practice English conversation skills with film. They can be applied to motivate students and even improve pronunciation and vocabulary mastery. Dubbing involves imitating the actors’ voices and acting out dialogue scenes to practice students' pronunciation. Subtitling involves the use of Indonesian language transcription (Indonesian subtitling version) and English transcription (English subtitling version) for helping students to understand the vocabulary meaning in the dialogue. To motivate students’ English speaking/conversation skills with those methods, students can choose their favorite films and actors, choose short film materials and search for subtitles, and practice English speaking in monologs or conversations in pairs. So, students can be interested and motivated, even improving their overall language learning experience. The previous studies also indicate the use of the dubbing/subtitling method in film improves students' motivation and enthusiasm in English speaking/conversation.

Authors: Billah Zakiyah Dania
Published: July 2024

This study conducted a concise postmodern cinematic analysis of ‘Blue Velvet’ (1986), directed by David Lynch, focusing on the portrayal of women and their narrative roles. ‘Blue Velvet’ exemplifies postmodern cinema through its subversion of conventional storytelling and exploration of dark undercurrents in suburban America. The analysis delved into the multifaceted depiction of women, examining how Lynch employs the “male gaze” through camera work and narrative structure, reinforcing patriarchal power dynamics. By scrutinizing key scenes, we revealed women often depicted for male viewer gratification. This study provided a new viewpoint on ‘Blue Velvet,’ shedding light on its challenge to cinematic norms and highlighting the interplay of gender, power, and narrative in a postmodern context.
