La determinación de los 17 hidrocorticoides libres en el plasma a nivel del mar y en la hipoxia crónica
Authors: Subauste P. Carlos , Aliaga Ruth , Llerena Hugo
Published: July 2021

Se realiza la determinación plasmática en condiciones basales de los 17-hidroxicorticoides libres en 39 sujetos del nivel del mar (Lima) y en 30 sujetos en hipoxia crónica (Morococha 4,540 mts.).  En el grupo del nivel del mar la Media ± D. S. fue de 13.7 ± 4 .09 ug% con valores extremos de 6.8 ug% y 23.2 ug%. En el grupo de la altura la Media ± D.S. fue de 18.7 ± 7.93 ug% con valores extremos de 5.1 y 33.8%. Las diferencias entre las medias de ambos grupos tienen significado estadístico. Aceptando la posibilidad de que pigmentos no precisados pueden falsear estas determinaciones en el grupo de la altura, se plantea, también, la posibilidad de que los valores más elevados de este grupo sean realmente traducción de un stress crónico por hipoxia crónica.
Hidropesia ascitica gestosica
Authors: Uranga Imaz A. , Salguero Gonzalo
Published: July 2021

Los autores presentan dos excepcionales observaciones de ascitis generalizado en otros tantas pacientes toxémicas, la primera fue una secundigesta con antecedentes de gestosis hipertensiva en su embarazo anterior. En el embarazo actual toxemia hipertensiva severa (hipertensión elevada, grandes edemas, proteinuria franca). Con embarazo de 6 y medio meses se practica la interrupción del mismo por operación cesárea. Ascitis de más de 6 litros y cavidad peritoneal libre. La paciente se recupera rápida y definitivamente en cuanto a su complicación abdominal, con gran mejoría funcional. La segunda observación se refiere a una paciente primigesta con antecedentes personales y familiares de hipertensión. Embarazada de 5 meses y medio; hipertensión severa, edemas generalizados, proteinurias, uricemia alta, hipoprotidemia marcado. A pesar del severo tratamiento, el cuadro no mejoró y la gestación es interrumpida por operación cesárea a los 6 meses y tres semanas. Ascitis de 3 litros. El niño de 1,200 grs. fallece a las 48 horas. Se verifica la ausencia de proceso extraño en el vientre. La paciente mejora rápidamente. Se embaraza nuevamente a los ocho meses de la interrupción del primero y es internada. Cumple así con cortas salidas el curso de su segundo embarazo que transcurre sin complicaciones y normotensa, aunque con una disminuida depuración plasmática de la urea. Tiene su parto a los 8 meses y medio con un niño sano de 2,950 grs. Hacen referencia a la dificultad pronóstico en estos pacientes y ofrecen antecedentes bibliográficos de esta infrecuente complicación de la toxemia hipertensiva.
Fibrinogenopenia aguda y abruptio plancentae nuestro criterio terapéutico
Authors: García Valenzuela Raúl
Published: July 2021

El autor analiza el criterio con que se ha encarado en su Clínica el síndrome de fibrinogenopenia aguda consecutiva al cuadro de "abruptio placentae". Considera que atendidas las causas que originan el descenso de los niveles del fibrinógeno, se justifica hoy más que antes proceder a la rotura artificial precoz de las membranas (parto médico de Kreis), a fin de desencadenar el trabajo y a la vez interferir en la liberación de sustancias tromboplásticas o fibrinolíticas, observando simultáneamente y muy de cerca las variaciones que se operan en la prueba del coágulo y curva de fibrinogenemia. Cuando el tratamiento obstétrico no surte resultados o el síndrome de incoagulabilidad sanguínea se perfila desde, un comienzo con caracteres severos, estimo que debe recurrirse sin demora a la evacuación del útero mediante la operación cesárea. El tratamiento específico de la hipo y afibrinogenemia debería contemplar la administración oportuna - usando la vía endovenosa - de fibrinógeno humano. Conforme a la experiencia del Servicio, las dosis no necesitan ser tan altas como las que han sido preconizadas por los autores norteamericanos. Bastan en general 2 o 3 gramos para alcanzar los niveles críticos (100 mgrs. 0/100) y asegurar la coagulación. Además se utilizarán con generosidad transfusiones de sangre y plasma, particularmente cuando no se disponga de droga, como ha sucedido en algunos de los casos que el autor comenta. En atención al alto costo de tratamiento, recomienda administrar la droga en los casos de operación cesárea sólo una vez que ha sido evacuado el útero, momento propicio para obtener los mejores resultados, suprimidos ya las causas aparentes que originan el cuadro de incoagulabilidad sanguínea. Se infiere de lo anterior que la histerectomía representa una alternativa poco común (1 caso en esta serie); cuando se la practica, su indicación dimana más bien de la insuficiencia contráctil de la fibra muscular uterina. El autor recalca que los resultados obtenidos en el curso de los últimos 5 años en las 11 pacientes que presentaron el síndrome de fibrinogenopenia aguda y "abruptio placentae” - habiéndose resuelto en 8 el problema mediante lo operación cesárea - sobre un total de 138 casos, lo que representa una frecuencia de 7.97%, han sido buenos, si se piensa que la mortalidad especial que se registró fue de 9.09%, siendo que la mortalidad en el conjunto de las hemorragias retroplacentarias (1381 alcanzó en el mismo período a 3.17%. La mortinatalidad fetal fue muy alta, llegando a 90.9%, mientras que en la casuística global la tasa que se consignó fue tan sólo de 63.4 %.
El síndrome útero - mamario
Authors: Kock Walter
Published: July 2021

Al revisar textos y revistas de Ginecología de tiempos pasados tuvimos la sorpresa de comprobar que la asociación intomática hipertrofia mamaria con hipogenitalismo en adolescentes no había escapado al adiestrado "ojo clínico" de los especialistas de otras épocas. No podemos ocultar la mosión y al mismo tiempo satisfacción que sentimos al vislumbrar a través de estas publicaciones el manifiesto interés e inquietudes que despertó esta desconcertante y extraña coincidencia sintomática, que más adelante pareció paradojal y a la cual, posiblemente por estas razones, no se osó en asignarle categoría y nombre de síndrome.

Authors: NIKISHYNA O.V. , LOZOVA T.P.
Published: July 2021

Topicality. With increasing competition in world markets and the dominance of corporate value chains, there is a need to introduce a cooperative model of interaction of small producers. In Ukraine, the formation of cooperative value chains is a priority in agri-food markets, the development of which is based on the consolidation of resources and parity of entities of the individual and corporate sectors. The development of cooperative value chains will increase the competitiveness of small agricultural producers, which highlights the need for new research in this area.Aim and tasks. The purpose of the article is to develop scientific and applied principles of formation and regulation of cooperative value chains in the agri-food markets of Ukraine on the basis of a reproductive approach. The main objectives of the study: to establish the socio-economic preconditions of agrarian cooperation in Ukraine; identify current trends and functions of agricultural cooperatives in the development of the agricultural sector of the economy; substantiate the structure of an effective cooperative value chain and incentives for the state. Research methods: system approach, analytical generalizations, structural, index, comparative, graphic.Research results. The main problems of access of small agricultural producers to corporate market chains are considered, the logistical detachment of the subjects of the individual sector from the profitable links of finishing and distribution of products is established. Based on empirical research, the dominant direction of redistribution of value added in market chains in favor of large corporations and intermediaries has been determined. The authors substantiate the cooperative model of forming effective chains of the agri-food market, which include multifunctional cooperatives, a logistics center and retail stores.Conclusion. A set of measures of state support for the creation and development of cooperative value chains in the agri-food markets of Ukraine is proposed. The implementation of these measures is focused on ensuring the competitiveness of cooperative market chains and their ability to interact on a parity basis with corporate and intermediary chains. The scientific novelty of the study is to substantiate the scientific and applied principles of forming effective cooperative chains for a more objective redistribution of value added between the subjects of such chains, overcoming structural and price imbalances of the agri-food market for its reproductive development.
Role of Balloon Aortic Valvuloplasty in the Management of Aortic Stenosis
Authors: Rao P. Syamasundar
Published: July 2021

Balloon aortic valvuloplasty (BAV) provides an excellent alternative to surgical intervention and has become the preferred intervention for initial palliation for aortic stenosis in neonates, infants, children, adolescents, and young adults. The elderly patients with calcific aortic stenosis do not benefit from BAV. With the exception of neonates, most patients can be discharged home within 24-hours of the procedure. Although there is definitive evidence for pressure gradient relief immediately after as well as at follow-up and postponement of surgical intervention following BAV, the progression of aortic insufficiency at late follow up remain a major concern. In the neonatal population, severe aortic insufficiency may develop requiring surgical intervention. Despite these limitations, balloon aortic valvuloplasty is currently considered as therapeutic procedure of choice in the management of congenital aortic stenosis in the pediatric and young adult population. Careful follow-up to detect recurrence of stenosis and development of significant aortic insufficiency is recommended.

On External Aid Effectiveness and School Enrolment: A Study on Sub-Saharan Africa
Authors: Adediyan Aderopo Raphael , Obadoni Venus Nmakanmma
Published: July 2021

This paper re-evaluates the external aid effectiveness on school enrolment in Sub-Saharan Africa and provides a piece of evidence on the relationship conditioned on the prevalence of malaria and HIV/AIDS. A panel dataset from 2010 to 2019 for 42 countries in sub-Saharan Africa was modelled and analyzed using a dynamic panel GMM technique. The results suggest a statistically significant positive effect of external aid on school enrolment – primary, secondary and tertiary school enrolment. However, when correlated with the HIV/AIDS and malaria diseases, the relationship turned insignificant and at best negative. That is, in the case where malaria and HIV/AIDS diseases are evident, external aid does not have a statistically significant positive impact on school enrolment. It therefore means that the level of aid effectiveness on school enrolment is contingent on malaria and HIV/AIDS diseases in the region. Hence, although the attraction of more external aid can increase school enrolment in Sub-Saharan Africa, it will be effective only if the HIV/AIDS and malaria diseases are eradicated.
Differences in the Level and Structure of Consumption of Polish Households from 2010-2019
Authors: Kowalska Agnieszka
Published: July 2021

This article aims to assess the level and structure of household consumption and its social differentiation in the years 2010–2019 in terms of disposable income and consumption expenditure. The data on household budgets were sourced from Statistics Poland. The analysis revealed clear differences in the level and structure of household consumption observed over a ten year period. The share of expenditure on food, healthcare, as well as transport and communications is growing, while the share of expenditure on housing, clothing and shoes is decreasing. Meanwhile, the level of these changes varies across groups of households. The decreasing propensity of households to consume and the increasing level of income accumulation are evidence of an increase in their economic welfare. However, the deepening process of social polarization of income clearly perpetuates inequality in the level and structure of household consumption.

The article substantiates one of the important factors in the effectiveness of personal and professional development of the future teacher, which is to ensure the relationship between a university teacher and his students. Its success depends primarily on the personality of the teacher, his desire to use the motivational resources of future teachers, the ability to persuade, to lead students to making their own conclusions, to establish friendly relations, recognize achievements, respect and support students in various life situations, to inspire confidence in themselves and in successful formation of their personal and professional qualities, to provide activity and initiative, and in general to determine the behavior of the future teacher. The success of the influence on the future teachers and their further self-improvement is determined by properly constructed interaction, the ability to communicate on equal terms at a reasonable distance, with respect, recognition and unconditional positive attitude towards each student. In this process, the teacher acts not only as a source of knowledge, but as a mentor, whose function is to provide pedagogical support to the student on the path of his development as a person and as a professional. The relations in the system "teacher-student", promoting the development of professional self-awareness, the need for personal growth and motivational readiness for professional development of the future teacher, give rise to this process, open new prospects for the potential of each student, make them able to consciously develop their own strategy of professional development. The basis of the teacher-student relationships is dialogic interaction, as it helps to ensure mutual contact with students, which creates favorable conditions for effective influence in order to involve them in the process of formation and strengthening motivation. Mutual contact is based on emotional unity and mutual perception of the participants of pedagogical interaction.

Interpersonal conflicts are an integral part of communication in the formation of a socially competent specialist. The article reveals social competence as a certain type of attitude based on respect and acceptance of another person and oneself, prerequisites for conflicts in interpersonal communication of students-future teachers in the educational environment of higher education. The essence of the concept of «attitude», «relationship», «conflict», is considered. It has been found that in order to prevent conflicts, a socially competent person must know not only what needs to be done, but also how to achieve the development of the problem situation in a constructive direction. A number of objective preconditions for conflict prevention are related to the ability of future teachers to competently build pedagogical interaction. It is described that the teacher must be able to determine the nature of communication, in particular, when it becomes pre-conflict, and move from a conflict situation to normal interaction. The readiness of future teachers for dialogue will allow to feel in advance that the emotional tension of the conversation begins to exceed the permissible level, and to apply direct and indirect methods of preventing the development of conflict.

Published: July 2021

In domestic and world practice, despite the measures applied and developed to improve the quality of well casing, there is a problem of leaky structures in almost 50 % of completed wells. The study of actual data using classical methods of statistical analysis (regression and variance analyses) doesn't allow us to model the process with sufficient accuracy that requires the development of a new approach to the study of the attachment process. It is proposed to use the methods of machine learning and neural network modeling to identify the most important parameters and their synergistic impact on the target variables that affect the quality of well casing. The formulas necessary for translating the numerical values of the results of acoustic and gamma-gamma cementometry into categorical variables to improve the quality of probabilistic models are determined. A database consisting of 93 parameters for 934 wells of fields located in Western Siberia has been formed. The analysis of fastening of production columns of horizontal wells of four stratigraphic arches is carried out, the most weighty variables and regularities of their influence on target indicators are established. Recommendations are formulated to improve the quality of well casing by correcting the effects of acoustic and gamma-gamma logging on the results.
Efficiency of reservoir pressure maintenance system in low-permeable heterogeneous reservoirs
Authors: Plitkina Yu. A.
Published: July 2021

The article presents a generalization of experience in organizing the reservoir pressure maintenance system in low-permeability reservoirs of Tyumen suite. The author of the article considers the issues of influence of the density of the grid of directional wells and the intensity of waterflooding on the efficiency of the reservoir pressure maintenance system. The question of the need to take into account the orientation of the horizontal wells with multistage hydraulic fracturing system with respect to regional stress in order to minimize the breakthrough of the injected water is disclosed in detail. A comparative characteristic of the efficiency of the reservoir pressure maintenance in the system "along" and "across" of stress is given. A new express method is described for determining the optimal oil production period individually for each injection well, which allows maximizing oil production without additional costs. The author of the article gives recommendations for monitoring and regulating water injection.
Petroleum potential of Kurgan region
Authors: Arsenyev A. A. , Alexandrov V. M. , Leontiev D. S.
Published: July 2021

The territory of Kurgan region is actually located within the boundaries of the West Siberian oil and gas province, where industrial reserves of hydrocarbons are discovered and actively developed within Tyumen, Omsk, Tomsk and Novosibirsk regions. The article presents an assessment of petroleum potential of Kurgan region (a case study of deposits of Early Carboniferous age, zones of serpentinization of ultrabasic rocks, as well as the Upper Cretaceous Suprasenomanian complex of rocks). It would seem that Kurgan region today could conduct industrial development of fields, because it neighboures upon those regions in which hydrocarbon production is carried out. However, oil or gas deposits in this region have not been discovered yet, and the study of the subsurface is discrete and unsystematic. The uncertainty in the fate of Kurgan oil is a legacy of Soviet geology. It is likely that large hydrocarbon reserves will not be found in Kurgan region, but there are forecast resources, and they cannot be confirmed without a comprehensive study of the subsurface. The authors of the article try to understand why an oil or gas fountain has not clogged in Kurgan region yet.
Ontological Opportunism
Authors: Dippel Anne
Published: July 2021

Understanding inanimate ‘nature-as-such’ is traditionally considered the object of physics in Europe. The discipline acts as exemplary discursive practice of scientific knowledge production. However, as my ethnographic investigation of doing and communicating high energy physics demonstrates, animist conceptions seep into the ontological understanding of physics’ ‘objects’, resonating with contemporary concepts of new materialism, new animism and feminist science and technology studies, signifying an atmospheric shift in the understanding of ‘nature’. Drawing on my fieldwork at CERN, I argue that scientists take an opportunist stance to animate concepts of ‘nature’, depending on whom they’re talking to. I am showing how the inanimate in physics is reanimated especially in scientific outreach activities and how the universalist scientific cosmology overlaps with indigenous cosmologies, as for example the Lakota ones.
Doctors, the Social-Weavers
Authors: Wierciński Hubert
Published: July 2021

This paper explores the problem of knowledge and knowledge making among Polish primary care doctors. Following Kirsten Hastrup and Tim Ingold, I argue that doctors are skilful social-weavers capable of exploring and reconciling various orders of knowledge. Thus, through a diverse set of knowledgeable yarns – originating from professional and state regimes, and embedded in today’s social relationships and economies – doctors are involved in the art of weaving a fabric composed of many, it would seem, contradictory orders of knowledge. The fabric in question is one in a constant state of reworking – although it is one that establishes a meaningful and knowledgeable environment in which the doctors can perform.
Crossing Borders and Building Walls in Right-Wing Uses of the Past
Authors: Farrell-Banks David
Published: July 2021

Right-wing populist, nationalist and extremist groups frequently make discursive use of the past to support their political agenda. This contribution briefly examines the use of the 1683 Siege of Vienna in political discourses. It shows how certain parts of European heritage are mobilised globally to present a singular view of European identity as white and Christian. This identity is constructed in opposition to a Muslim and migrant ‘other’. The contribution shows that this notion of European identity is used not as a call for European unity, but to serve nationalistic needs when utilised by far-right groups. Moreover, this piece calls for greater recognition of how heritages are mobilised across borders in the interests of advancing a politics of exclusion and division.
EFEITO DA DENSIDADE NO CRESCIMENTO DE Crassostrea gasar CULTIVADA EM SISTEMA FIXO NA COSTA DE MANGUEZAIS DE MACROMARÉS DA AMAZÔNIA, BRASIL

Published: July 2021

O presente trabalho avaliou o efeito da densidade de estocagem no crescimento de Crassostrea gasar em sistema fixo na Costa de Manguezais de Macromarés da Amazônia (CMMA). O cultivo foi iniciado com 4.320 ostras de 20 a 30 mm de altura da valva em travesseiro de malha 9 mm. Os animais foram submetidos a três tratamentos (T1 - 600 ostras/m2 , T2 - 800 ostras/m2 e T3 - 1000 ostras/m2 ) com 4 repetições e cultivados durante 270 dias em um sistema de cultivo fixo (cama), no município de Bequimão, Maranhão. A cada coleta foi determinado o crescimento das ostras (da altura da concha e peso vivo), as variáveis ambientais e a ocorrência da fauna incrustante e vágil associada. Foram recrutadas pós-larvas em ambiente natural, através de coletores artificiais, que permaneceram submersos por um período de, aproximadamente, 60 dias. Os dados evidenciaram que os parâmetros produtivos foram significativamente influenciados em função das densidades de estocagem testadas (ANOVA, p<0,05). Nos tratamentos com maior densidade (800 ostras/ m2 e 1.000 ostras/ m2) registrou-se crescimento (altura da concha e peso vivo) significativamente superior das ostras e menor incidência da fauna incrustante e vágil associada. Os meses com maior intensidade pluviométrica e com menor salinidade favoreceram para o menor crescimento das ostras, além de ter contribuído para a maior aglomeração de organismos indesejáveis ao cultivo. Assim, conclui-se que o crescimento da ostra nativa C. gasar apresentou diferença significativa em função da densidade de estocagem testada, com altura da valva e peso vivo favorecidos em alta densidade. Sugere-se que a menor incidência de organismos competidores nas densidades mais altas pode ter contribuído para o melhor desempenho produtivo da ostra nesses tratamentos.

US 2020 Elections – Will Biden make America Great again?
Authors: Zahid Amena , Fatima Noor , Fatima Zoha
Published: July 2021

As America had faced several racial protests and injustices during Trump’s era, Biden took a strong stance on racism in US and stated that racial injustice must be dealt with through broad economic and social programs to support minorities. Donald Trump’s vision of “Making America Great Again” and of capitalizing and fortifying the intrinsic capabilities of America is what sets him apart from the previous Obama regime. Trump’s Strategy in South Asia has been three-fold and its targets are primarily four countries: Afghanistan, India, Pakistan and China. With Biden coming into presidency, there is hope that the United States foreign policy might return to a pre-Trump era and even Republicans are hopeful for a return to the good order. The main issues with which Biden administration will struggle in the coming day will be in convincing the American people once again that global reengagement and multilateralism will help in improving the United States’ standing once again. Many of Biden’s aides are claiming that there is a possibility that America’s approach to problems can be reinvented and there is an effective policy blueprint for Biden’s first 100 days and those beyond which will fix most of what they can.

The problem of tax compliance and tax evasion continually results in a plethora of impediments for tax regulators in South Africa and globally. An alarming number of corporate governance scandals always have an element of tax compliance issues in them. The state of unresolved SARS Audit cases, costly litigations and prolonged arbitration from the tax Ombudsman is an issue of concern and subject of this study. This is further exacerbated by technicalities emanating from legal perspectives, statutory dimensions, and regulatory frameworks. It is for this reason that this seeks to answer the question “What is the role of a tax legal specialist within SARS during initiation of tax audits?”A comprehensive literature analysis, hinged upon mapping review, which is a typology of systematic methodology was conducted to respond to the above-mentioned research question. Mapping reviews are useful when researchers seek to understand literature on a particular phenomenon which might provide a basis for further investigation. The inclusion/exclusion criteria required articles to be between 2014 and 2020 and were supposed to be focused on tax evasion, tax avoidance and current means to combat these classified fraud activities. This resulted in 10 studies included as part of the review. Analysis followed thematic approaches using the COSTA QDA Technique on webQDA cloud-computing software. The study found out that effectiveness and efficiency tax audits was handicapped by lack of competent tax legal audit specialist.

For more than a year, COVID-19 has caused a high number of mortality and morbidity, and negatively affects life all over the world. Early detection tools that can be used to predict prognosis are particularly important in patients who need critical care. Among the acute phase reactants, CRP can be higher without any other findings. Otherwise, the cytokine storm that occurs in hospitalized COVID-19 cases can cause critical hypoalbuminemia, and low albumin levels can predict the course of the disease independently of other indicators. Our aim in this study is to determine the relationship between CRP / albumin ratio (CAR) and prognosis of COVID-19 patients.

Material and Method

In this study, from February 1, 2021 to April 30, 2021, patients who visited to the emergency department, diagnosed with COVID-19 and hospitalized, were selected to examine retrospectively.

Results

The study was completed with total of 273 patients. We divided the patients into two groups as those who require ICU and those who do not. The CAR was found to be more than 2 times higher in the ICU required group than the non-ICU need group (1.43 - 0.61, respectively). The area under the curve (AUC) of CRP, albumin and CAR were 0.708, 0.321 and 0.729 for the prediction of ICU admissions, respectively. In terms of mortality, AUC values were calculated as 0.660, 0.304 and 0.725, in the same order, and the predictive power of CAR was higher than CRP and albumin alone in both outcomes.

Conclusion

We found that the patients with high CAR values had further ICU requirements and further mortality rates. CAR is a simple, convenient and inexpensive prognostic marker that can be used in predicting the severity of COVID-19.

Abstract. Purpose. The research is aimed at developing methods for creating highly productive and highly nutritious pasture agrophytocenoses, adapted to the extreme conditions of the arid zone of the Northern Caspian region. Methods. The paper provides an assessment of the productivity of perennial one-species (Agropyron) and poly-species (Agropyron, Eutoria, Kochia) agrophytocenoses for a five-year period of their vegetation, depending on the timing (autumn, spring) and sowing methods (ordinary, scattered). Results. These phytocenoses, created in the harsh climatic conditions of the semi-desert on light chestnut soils with a low level of fertility (humus – 0.68 %), starting from the first year, formed the yield 2–7 times higher than the natural pasture. According to the results of the study, it was revealed that a significant role in the creation of arid forage phytocenosis was played by the sowing method and species composition, including the scattered sowing method turned out to be more productive (in monospecific – by 57–70 %, in poly-species – by 63–82 %), the yield of the poly-species composition of the phytocenosis, starting from the second year, increased by 1–2 t/ha for all years of the study in comparison with the monospecific composition both on the row and on the spread method of sowing. Scientific novelty. All created agrophytocenoses for all variants had a fodder value 3–10 times higher than the natural pasture, including the presence of different plant species on the pasture increased the collection of fodder units in comparison with a single-species pasture by 1.5–2 times, and the spread method of sowing also increased the provision of pasture fodder with protein by 0.18–0.2 t/ha. Already by the second year of plant development, it was noted that the presence of shrubs and semi-shrubs on the forage lands creates better conditions than the aftermath of the corn crop for snow retention, and, accordingly, contributes to a greater accumulation of moisture in the soil.

Abstract. The purpose of the research is to study the age of retirement of cows from the herd, depending on various genetic and paratypical factors. Methods. The research was carried out according to the data of a black-and-white breed dairy herd of the Chelyabinsk region. The studied animals of different ages were divided into groups relative to the live weight at the first fruitful insemination, the age of retirement of mothers and bulls-producers of Holstein lines. The paper analyzes data for the period from 2003 to 2019 on 9247 heads of cows. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the analysis of genetic and paratypical factors affecting the increase in the age of retirement of dairy cows from the herd. As a result, it was found that the age of retirement of animals from the herd of the studied cows was 3.4 lactation. But only 29.0 % of cows were eliminated from the herd at the age of 5 lactations and older. At the early stages of economic use (before the 2nd lactation), animals were rejected due to diseases of the genital organs (1.5 lactation), respiratory organs (1.0–1.25 lactation), surgical diseases (1.5–1.8 lactation) and limb injuries (1.8 lactation). The shortest period of economic use, equal to 3.5 lactation, was observed in animals that were first fruitfully inseminated at the age of 18 months and older with a live weight of more than 400 kg. Long-lived mothers (older than 7 lactations) weakly transmitted their signs of productive longevity to their daughters, whose retirement age was 3.57–3.75 lactation. The daughters of the bulls-producers of the line Reflection Sovering 198998 had a longer period of use – an average of 5.1 lactations. Genetic and paratypical factors affect the age of retirement of cows. The study of this issue, as well as the competent application of the results obtained, make it possible to increase the period of production use of the dairy herd to 5 lactations or more.

THE CORRELATION BETWEEN ORAL HEALTH AND CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE INCIDENCE
Authors: Hassan Khaled
Published: July 2021

A population-based cluster sampling method was used to recruit 5900 Kerman residents aged 15 to 75 years old. Participants were interviewed for CVD risk factors after providing informed consent. Some oral health markers were evaluated, including DMFT, Gingival Inflammation Index, and Community Periodontal Index. Multivariate regression models were used to investigate the link between oral health indicators and CVD risk variables. Results. The participants' average age was 33.5 years, and 45.1 percent of them were men. In 67.6% of the subjects, there was moderate gingival irritation. Participants were more likely to have sub- or supragingival calculus (90 percent). Cigarette smoking, increased with age (RR from 2.7 to 3.88). (RR = 1.49), and high blood glucose (RR = 1.41) showed an increased risk for oral diseases after adjustment for different covariates including established CVD risk factors. In the presence of some CVD risk factors, the study found an increase in periodontal disorders. As a result, both illnesses may have a bilateral but independent relationship, and a joint risk factor approach preventive program is strongly recommended.

Critical Pedagogy and Its Implication in the Classroom
Authors: Uddin Muhammad Sharif
Published: July 2021

Critical pedagogy is a vital teaching strategy, one designed to strengthen the awareness of learners about justice and social equality, while improving their knowledge.  Teachers today are busy in the classroom; they prepare the student for high stakes testing and, in the process, work to save the school from closing. As a result, teaching is most often test-oriented rather than knowledge-centered.  This paper aims to provide a few examples of how several teachers use critical strategies in the classroom and how these teaching methods affect student thinking and learning positively. Lastly, the paper argues that classroom teachers should employ critical pedagogy in the classroom to prepare students to gain critical thinking skills and to help create a just society.
