Authors: Žunjić Aleksandar , Manojlović Uroš , Čičević Svetlana , Trifunović Aleksandar
Published: October 2022

The research presented in this document addresses the ability of drivers to understand what information has been presented by symbols that are used to indicate certain status of vehicle lights. The concept known as usability can be applied extensively to ergonomic design and testing of a wide range of products and systems, including cars. In order to assess drivers' understanding of what information is exactly presented by symbols that are used to describe the state of the lighting system of an automobile, a usability test was designed. The test included 4 symbols, three of which were ISO-approved symbols. This study of usability of symbols on a sample of drivers showed that understanding of information represented by symbols is relatively low, ranging from 41.93% to 61.29%. Certain statistical tests allow for prognosis results on a population level, using the data based on a sample. For that purpose, we used the Z-test of a sample proportion. Testing of statistical hypotheses yielded even lower values of symbols understanding at the population level, for each tested symbol. Suggestions have been made to improve the usability of this type of symbol.
Solving the problem of congestion in city centers by applying Congestion Pricing - simulation in Belgrade
Authors: Pavlović Ratko
Published: October 2022

The problem of traffic congestion is one of the most significant global problems in the world. Numerous negative effects of congestion affect both the users themselves and people who are not direct participants in the traffic. The most significant negative effects caused by traffic congestion are greater time losses, increased emission of harmful gases, greater number of traffic accidents, noise, etc. Congestion charging is one of the measures that affects the reduction of traffic congestion by influencing the transport requirements of users. So far, congestion charging has been implemented in several cities around the world. Although it has proven to be very effective in solving congestion problems, it has not been widely used due to its poor acceptability. Within this paper, the concept of congestion charging is presented, an overview of experiences from cities where it is applied, and the results of simulation of congestion charging in Belgrade are presented.
PERINATAL EXPERIENCE
Authors:   Far Eastern State Transportation University, Khabarovsk Federal Research Center of the Far Eastern Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Khabarovsk, Russia, Serdyukov Yuri M.
Published: October 2022

Perinatal experience constitutes in and of itself a state of subjective reality, which occurs during the period of the intrauterine development of a person. Its essential elements, those, which at the later stages form the frame of human psyche and behaviour are listed below. Firstly, there is sensory information that is fully manifest during the third trimester of the fetal development in its entirety. During the perinatal period all the sensory systems of a human being without exception are being shaped and filled with incoming information; the learning process is actively functioning, attention and fetal memory are developing. Secondly, there is emotional development that can already be detected in the second trimester. Furthermore, there is the sensation of bodily wholeness, which develops after the 25th week of pregnancy and that constitutes the first mental representation of the Self ontogenetically, that is, the foundation of subjective reality that accompanies a human being throughout their life, but that is, doubtless, still very different from authentic self-awareness. Additionally, one should mention the spatio-temporal continuum of subjective reality, which is already initiating its formation starting from the eighth week of embryo development. Finally, prenatal sensations create archetypes and archetypal patterns that permeate the unconscious structures of subjective reality during its entire existence. The incoming information flows, their processing, encoding and entrenchment in memory, the emotional response to stimuli and spatio-temporal structure of subjective reality generate initially perceptive and later spatio-figurative thinking of a fetus, which occur during the oneiric state of dreamless sleep, in cases of severe sensory deprivation, partial immobilization and hypoxia of the brain.

Published: October 2022

What should people do, who suddenly found themselves in a society of fear, absurdity and uncertainty about the future from the consumer society? To answer this question, the author suggests considering the question of how living objects differ from inanimate ones. The desire for expansion and the ability to work with different virtual realities distinguish the living from the inanimate. Working with virtual reality is shown for the first time on the example of sensory memory and conditioned reflex. The subthreshold zone is described below, which allows us to connect to an infinite number of new, unknown virtual realities

Authors:   Korean Society for Educational Evaluation, Kim Jinhee , Kim Junyeop
Published: October 2022

The purpose of this study is to explore factors affecting the teacher-student relationship of middle and high school first grade students. It was intended to provide information for improving the teacher-student relationship through the analysis results. This study performed random forest regression analysis using GEPS data. The subjects of this study were 5,586 middle school students and 5,348 high school students. The explanatory variables used in the analysis were 478 items in middle school and 499 items in high school. 24 major factors were derived using SHAP value. The result is as follows: First, the main factors that influenced teacher-student relationships in the first grade of middle school were ‘school satisfaction’, ‘friendship relationship’, ‘teacher’s passion’, ‘teacher’s teaching ability’, ‘teacher’s teaching method’, ‘vacation life’, and ‘parent attachment-trust’. Second, the main factors that influenced teacher-student relationships in the first grade of high school were ‘school satisfaction’, ‘friendship relationship’, ‘teacher’s passion’, ‘teacher’s teaching method’, ‘self-esteem’, and ‘parent attachment-trust’. School satisfaction(8 items), peer relationship(6 items), teacher passion(1 item) and parent attachment-trust(1 item) were the same influencing factors, but the contribution of each question was different depending on the school level. Schools need to approach improving teacher- student relationships considering the results of the study.

Hierarchies of being human: Intergroup dehumanization and its implication in present-day South Africa
Authors: Fourie Melike M , Deist Melanie , Moore-Berg Samantha
Published: October 2022

The 20th century saw the dismantling of several oppressive regimes and an international turn toward greater social justice. Yet structural inequality and intergroup animosity persist in many post-colonial and post-slavery contexts, not least because the dehumanization inherent to those regimes remain entrenched socially. Here we examined whether the racialized hierarchy established under the inhumane South African apartheid system is still manifest in patterns of dehumanization today, and how this impacts intergroup relations and behaviors related to structural reform. Specifically, we investigated blatant dehumanization as the explicit attribution of reduced human uniqueness, factors contributing to its tenacity, and its intergroup outcomes in a national sample of the three largest racialized groups: Black African, Coloured, and White. We found that, despite significant changes in power dynamics post-apartheid, dehumanization ratings mirrored the apartheid-inspired hierarchy, with White people rated ‘more human’ than Coloured people, and Coloured people rated ‘more human’ than Black African people across participants. Levels of dehumanization were ameliorated by positive intergroup contact, and reinforced by feeling dehumanized (meta-dehumanization) and hierarchy-legitimizing beliefs in White and Coloured participants. Finally, White participants’ dehumanization of Black African people predicted, beyond prejudice, several outcomes (social distance, collective action, and petition support) that would sustain the unequal status quo. Our results suggest that intergroup dynamics are influenced by the positions people occupied on the apartheid racial hierarchy, and that curbing dehumanization should be prioritized to advance structural reform in South Africa.
The Complex Relationship between Adiposity, Fitness, Mental Wellbeing, and Exercise on Preadolescent Brain Health
Authors: Logan Nicole E , Occidental Nicole , Watrous Jennifer , McDonald Katherine , Raine Lauren , Kramer Arthur , Hillman Charles
Published: October 2022

Background:Obesity is an epidemic, affecting >340 million children and adolescents worldwide. When left untreated, obesity increases the risk of developing diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, cognitive decline, and mental health disorders. However, enhanced cardiovascular fitness through participation in exercise can prevent obesity, and consequently, promotes physical health, cognitive and brain health, and mental wellbeing. Purpose:The aim of the present study was to examine the mediating influence of adiposity and mental wellbeing on the preadolescent brain’s response to acute exercise.Methods:In a sample of 58 children (ages 8-10; 19 females), demographic measures of age, sex, IQ, and socioeconomic status were considered. Children participated in a randomized crossover study, whereby they completed two different interventions; seated rest or treadmill walking, counterbalanced across participants. Associations between adiposity measures (body mass index [BMI], whole body percent fat), cardiorespiratory fitness measures (VO2max and Fat-Free VO2), and self-reported measures of mental wellbeing were assessed on cognitive performance (response accuracy, reaction time) and neuroelectric (P3 amplitude and latency) indices of a Go/NoGo task following both exercise and rest interventions. Results:Higher adiposity (whole-body percent fat, BMI) was associated with higher trait anxiety (p’s≤0.05) and disordered eating (p’s≤0.05) scores. Higher fitness (VO2max) was associated with lower childhood depression scores (p=0.02). With higher whole-body percent fat, trait anxiety increased and mediated poorer neuroelectric metrics (P3 amplitude decrease) on the NoGo Task, after exercise (95%CI=-0.43,-0.11). In children with higher adiposity (whole-body percent fat, BMI), associations were observed with greater cognitive performance and effective neuroelectric profile during a Go/NoGo task (increased accuracy, decreased SD RT, increased P3 amplitude, decreased P3 latency) after rest (p’s≤0.05), but not after the exercise intervention (p’s>0.05). In children with higher fitness (VO2max, FF-VO2), associations were observed with better performance on the Go/NoGo task (greater accuracy, lower SD RT) after exercise (p’s≤0.05), but not after rest (p’s>0.05). Conclusion:As rates of childhood obesity, anxiety, and physical inactivity continue to increase worldwide, these results have implications for the mental health and wellness of children. By addressing the obesity epidemic with cost-effective behavioral treatments such as exercise, improvements in the rate of psychopathology development in youth, and consequently, improvements in cognitive and brain function, may also benefit.
Interrupted mediation: A cautionary note on using derived metrics as intervening variables in path models
Authors: McCormick Ethan Michael , Borgeest Gesa Sophia , Kievit Rogier
Published: October 2022

Mediation - or models where an intervening variable is thought to propagate an affect from a cause to an outcome of interest - is a ubiquitous statistical tool in the behavioral and medical sciences. Despite a long history of thoughtful critiques of its use in applied research, mediation remains inferentially attractive and easy to implement in widely-available software. Here we highlight a challenge of mediation that has not yet received appropriate consideration - namely the potential for improper causal inferences when the mediator is a derived, or composite, score of a set of items or measures (e.g., sums, means, differences, etc.). We show that composites have the potential to confound or mask different causal processes that occur at the individual item level, leading to spurious mediation effects. As composite measures are near-universal in many fields from the psychological to biomedical sciences, this limitation of inferences potentially impacts a very broad set of research questions. In this paper we demonstrate this issue in a diversity of mediators, using both empirical examples of grey matter volume and depression questionnaires and a wide array of simulated examples. Additionally, we provide several potential analytical approaches with may help diagnose spurious mediation with composite measures and provide greater insight into the causal structure of our data. As part of this set of approaches, we advocate a transition from traditional, regression-based approaches to mediation towards a structural equation modeling (SEM) framework which provides many advantages. We also note additional conditions under which interrupted mediation can occur, providing directions for future developments in this area.

Published: October 2022

Building upon the work in Fisher et al. [2022], we developed a set of tutorial notebooks explaining howto develop likelihood functions for models based upon the ACT-R cognitive architecture [Andersonet al., 2004]. The tutorial notebooks combine text, equations, plots, and annotated computer code tocreate an integrated learning experience. Each tutorial notebook is interactive, allowing the readeradjust model parameters with sliders, and observe the effects on model predictions and the likelihoodfunction. The introductory tutorial explains the benefit of using likelihood functions to evaluatemodels, such as the ability to use Bayesian parameter estimation, and avoiding potential problemswith averaging artifacts. The remainder of the tutorial is organized into two broad sections: (1)background information covering software, mathematical concepts, and statistical concepts, and(2) a series of models ranging from simple to moderately complex. Each model tutorial guidesreaders through the development of the likelihood function, and demonstrates how to estimateparameters with Bayesian parameter estimation.

Prediction error, processing elements, and the development of early linguistic skills: An integrated EDL-PRIMs model
Authors: Ji Yang
Published: October 2022

Statistical learning and cognitive processing perspectives independently acknowledge the crucial role of learning in early linguistic acquisition. In the current paper, simultaneous acquirement of lexicons and procedures is implemented by uniformly integrating prediction error-driven learning (EDL) within the primitive information processing element architecture (PRIMs), assuming a statistical learning perspective in learning both forms. The first proof-of-concept simulation study extends the statistical learning perspective in syntactic acquisition based on EDL-PRIMs procedural learning. The second simulation study demonstrates procedural and lexical learning from syntactic, lexical, and hybrid patterns and simulates corresponding skill development by modeling age-related efficiency enhancement. The simulation studies are related to empirical focusing preferences based on operation latencies through a resource availability perspective. The paper discusses the EDL-PRIMs approach and simulated results linking to empirical evidence and computational theories of early linguistic development.
Empowering LGBT+ people with intellectual disabilities to live socially inclusive lives: Debating rights, responsibility, and risk
Authors: Concannon Liam
Published: October 2022

Feelings of marginalisation impact the lives of LGBT+ people in a fundamental way, but for those who have an intellectual disability, and are gay, there is a heightened sense of alienation. This article examines the unique oppression faced by these individuals in a heteronormative and ableist world, where a long history of extreme control of sexual intimacy has resulted in harsh forms of social exclusion. Although moves have been made to empower service users who are intellectually disabled and identify as LGBT+ to participate fully in life, there is also a need to assess the relationship between rights, responsibility, and risk. This article further explores whether by drawing upon government social policy, barriers are being dismantled through the development of innovative local strategies that aim to deliver non-discriminatory person-centred services.

An Evolutionary Historical Perspective of Pakistan Retail Fashion Industry
Authors: Kashif Shumaila , Mubarik Shujaat
Published: October 2022

This study seeks to capture the evolution (emergence, diffusion, and transformation) of the retail fashion industry in Pakistan from largely unorganized to modern commerce retail. In particular, it strives to understand this evolution of "collective activity" as conceptualized by Regina Blaszczyk in terms of interactions among enterprise, culture, consumer, and commerce in the context of emerging economies with an emphasis on past two decades 1998-2018. Narrative analysis is built from Project oral histories (16 in-depth interviews from various experts as well as ordinary consumers, who lived through and witnessed the evolution), supplemented by newspapers, magazines, web articles, and archives. The study demonstrates various political, cognitive, socio-cultural challenges and opportunities faced by early designers/retailers. It also establishes popular culture profound influence in the dissemination of fashion and branding the industry despite political upheavals. Although limited to the Pakistani case, this research outlines the founding feature of the flourishing fashion retail industry in emerging economies and the role of popular culture in the nourishment of creative industries. The evolution of fashion retail in South East Asia in general and Pakistan, in particular, has received very little scholarly attention. The historical analysis contributes a unique perspective in understanding drivers of this evolution as not consumers themselves but the ones who played an active role in the creation of the retail fashion industry in Pakistan build through historical narrative.

Published: October 2022

The article determines the influence of swimming classes on the formation of plasticity of movements in female students of higher education institutions of non-pedagogical specialties.

The concept of plasticity of movements and their components in special literature is considered, as well as their role in the general system of personal values of female students of higher education institutions is determined. It was established that the plasticity of movements is an important component of the general culture of the individual, and its formation is an integral component of the education of an intelligent person and the most attractive motive for swimming lessons. In addition, plasticity of movements is an indicator of performance skill, and its main components are: appearance and manner of holding, plasticity, amplitude of movements, purity of execution, consistency of movements by different parts of the body and harmonious combination of movements. A large part of scientific works is dedicated to the study of the formation of plasticity of movements in swimming lessons, while children of middle school age remain outside the attention of physical rehabilitation specialists. After all, it is known that student age is a period that is accompanied by significant changes in the activity of all physiological systems: energy processes are more intense, the cardiovascular system undergoes significant changes, muscle mass increases, endurance develops, the development of motor coordination ends, and posture changes.

Adaptation to fitness; is a complex multi-stage process that requires a complex of measures and the creation of optimal conditions to attract young people to regular fitness classes and make them a necessity for many years. As a result of the measurements, the level of adaptation is determined: complete "fitness adaptation" if the personality portrait fully fits into the structure of the young person's individuality; partial "adaptation to fitness", if the portrait of a young person partially fits into the personality structure; maladjustment, if the portrait of a young person does not fit into the structure of the personality of the individual, and as a result, the young person does not want to engage in fitness and continue the club card. The results of "fitness adaptation" depend on personal variables, life events and social support, as well as on the degree of inclusion in contacts and intergroup attitudes. In the "fitness adaptation of student youth" model developed by us, the staff of the fitness club actively contributes to the successful adaptation of youth to fitness. The author considers the following to be the main indicators of adaptation to fitness: assessment of well-being; physical fitness; activity in achieving goals; compatibility of the individual with the environment; optimism.The article tells the research results of youth fitness adaptation. Author created the “Fitness adaptation” model; scheme is shown in the article. The aim of work is theoretical and experimental development and test the “Fitness adaptation” model. The results prove that young people who have some knowledge in Physical Culture sphere go in for sport regularly and more adapted in life. The experiment took place at fitness club “Fanat” in Uzhhorod in December, 2021. It was held with surveys, students (16-23 years old) physical readiness results analysis. The results were as follows: full “fitness adaptation” 68%, part “fitness adaptation” 22% and 10% disadaptation.

Published: October 2022

Research and experimental research made it possible to reveal the level of physical fitness of students of the Faculty of Physical Education, who are engaged in freestyle wrestling. The indicators obtained in the test tests revealed that the physical qualities of the subjects were formed gradually. A slight advantage is observed in indicators of speed and strength formation. It is these qualities that are a priority for freestyle wrestlers, which was confirmed by the conducted experimental research.

In classes, depending on the period of training, various tasks, means and training methods are used. It is more effective to alternate different sets of exercises using a variety of training methods. For the age of athletes presented in the work, competitive, circular, methods and methods of speech and demonstration are best suited when performing specially preparatory, competitive exercises, exercises with partners or a dummy.

According to the results of the experimental research, it was found that students improved their results in all test exercises by the end of the academic year. The technical preparation of freestyle wrestlers has undergone the same changes. According to the results of the educational and training year, the average score of the subjects increased in all technical and tactical actions. Which indicates the correct selection of means and methods of physical education. At the same time, the conditions of students' workload during the day were also taken into account, because in the first half of the day they are busy with academic work, training was held in the evening.

An analysis of the competitive activity of students of the Faculty of Physical Education, who are engaged in the freestyle wrestling section, showed that the boys took an active part in all competitions during the academic year. The following were the most successful: Championship of Ukraine in freestyle wrestling among juniors and juniors born in 2004-2005: one first and one second place, Championship of the Zakarpattia region in freestyle wrestling among men and women: one first and two third places, Universiade of universities: two first places places, three second places and six third places.
Efficiency of tactical training of football players 11-12 years old using interactive tasks
Authors: Nakonechnyi R.
Published: October 2022

In the article, a comparative analysis of tactical training programs for football players aged 11-12 years (at the stage of preliminary basic training) is carried out using traditional (training program for football players of the "Rukh" Lviv Academy) and author's approaches (experimental program for tactical training of football players using interactive tasks) to build them content. The author's program of tactical training of 11-12-year-old football players is generally created on the basis of preliminary research. In particular, the data obtained: before the beginning, during and after the completion of the pedagogical experiment with 11-12- year-old football players, who play in the youth sports center of the Rukh Lviv football club, were analyzed. An analysis of modern foreign scientific literature on football was carried out, which describes the tactical training of football players in the early stages of multi-year sports improvement. Conducting a pedagogical experiment made it possible to testify that 11-12-year-old football players are quite capable of effectively performing tasks of a tactical nature in "one-on-one" and "two-on-one" situations while playing football. Also, the players of both studied groups demonstrated sufficient results when performing complex group interactions, namely: "two against two" and "three against two". However, the superiority of the players of the experimental group over the football players of the control group was recorded in virtually all the control tests that took place after the end of the pedagogical experiment. Therefore, it is worth considering that due to the selection of rational methods and means, it is possible to purposefully and effectively influence the tactical preparedness of young Ukrainian football players starting from the early years of playing football (in particular, from the age of 11-12).
Method of developing speed-strength abilities of students by judo means
Authors: Filina Valentina
Published: October 2022

The scientific article describes the methodology for developing the speed-strength abilities of students in grades 10 – 11 by means of judo. It has been established that the speed-strength readiness achieved by students has a positive transfer to various types of their life activity. The author's technique was developed on the basis of the theory of training in motor actions, the theory of adaptation, the theory of development of physical qualities and abilities, planning and control of physical activity, as well as on the basis of the general theory of training judokas. Based on the results of the analysis of scientific and methodological literature, it can be argued that the problem of developing the speed-strength abilities of students in grades 10 – 11 of general secondary education institutions remains relevant and requires a modernized methodology for the use of physical exercises using judo means in the educational and training process of students at physical education lessons. The purpose of the study is to reveal the content and structure of the methodology for developing speed-strength abilities by means of judo in the educational and training process of students in grades 10 – 11.

The following research methods were used in the study: the study and synthesis of data from scientific and methodological literature, observation, and conversations. So, according to modern scientists, speed abilities are mostly innate and least of all undergo changes in the training process. It has been established that it is possible to increase speed abilities both through the use of special methods and means aimed at developing these abilities, and indirectly, by developing strength qualities, speed-strength abilities, improving the technique of performing motor actions. The method of developing speed- strength abilities is, first of all, the performance of a well-mastered task at maximum speed, which allows the student to focus all his efforts on speed, and not on the method of performing the exercise. Performance of physical exercises or judo techniques for speed should be stopped at the first signs of fatigue.

The article substantiates the need to develop a scientifically based technology of pedagogical control of students using modern information and communication technologies, based on taking into account the specifics of the chosen type of physical exercise and the morphofunctional status of those who do it. The purpose of the study is to develop a technology for individual assessment of students' educational achievements in the process of physical education in the conditions of the basketball sports section. The research methodology consists in studying the influence of morphofunctional and motor indicators on the success of basketball training and determining, based on this dependence, mathematical models of appropriate standards of technical preparation in basketball of higher education applicants according to gender and prognostic predictors - informative morphological, functional and motor parameters that have the greatest influence on performance in basketball.

The basis for the individualization of the assessment of educational achievements and the calculation of individually possible standards of technical preparation of students in the conditions of sectional basketball classes was determined, and on this basis, the computer program "Electronic record of educational achievements of higher education students (sports basketball section)" was developed. Software for pedagogical control of student youth in basketball classes is presented, which allows for automatic assessment of educational achievements based on individual capabilities, the procedure for its use in the process of physical education is described.

Annotation. Vitamin D deficiency and is a common problem among adolescents with impaired carbohydrate metabolism. Searching for the new opportunities to optimize the glycemic control among children with type 1 diabetes is an urgent task for the scientists. The aim was to study the laboratory features of compensation of type 1 diabetes in adolescents who additionally received cholecalciferol. 50 patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus aged 10 to 18 years participated in the study: 1 group – adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus who received only basal-bolus insulin therapy and did not receive additional supplementation with vitamin D (n=25); 2 group – adolescents with type 1 diabetes, who received a vitamin D – 2000 IU for 3 months (n=25) together with basal-bolus insulin therapy. All patients underwent clinical and laboratory examinations. Statistical processing of the results was performed out using the software package “Statistica 6.0”. The average level of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) in adolescents of group 1 was 10.06% (9.5; 13.0), group 2 – 10.61% (9.0; 13.2). Fasting glucose level in group 1 was 8.8 mmol/l (7.6; 10.8), in group 2 – 9.2 mmol/l (8.0; 11.2). When re-measured after 3 months of different treatment, these indicators were significantly lower. In the 1 group HbA1c decreased by 11.9%, in the 2 group the level of HbA1c decreased by 13.3% (p<0.05). Glucose concentration before and after treatment also significantly decreased in children of both groups by 7.95% and 8.7%, respectively, p<0.05. Among adolescents who were additionally prescribed vitamin D together with standard basal-bolus insulin therapy, the number of patients with decompensated type 1 diabetes decreased by 2.7 times (χ2=7.58; p<0, 05), the number of patients with subcompensated diabetes increased by 1.75 times and the number of compensated adolescents increased by 5 times (χ2=5.34; p=0.042). Thus, the indicators of carbohydrate metabolism among adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus, who received vitamin D in addition to basal-bolus insulin therapy, indicated better compensation of type 1 diabetes mellitus.

Annotation. The low level of dental health of the population of Ukraine determines the relevance of the problem of finding opportunities to improve the quality of dental care. One of the modern methods of monitoring the quality of medical care is sociological research. The purpose of the study: to analyze the problems of providing quality dental care based on the results of a sociological survey of dentists. The sociological study covered two qualitatively and quantitatively representative samples, the first of which included 259 dentists from public health institutions, and the second – 109 dentists from private dental institutions in Kyiv. Statistical processing of sociological research materials involved the use of methods of statistical grouping, tabulation, analysis of absolute and relative distribution series, assessment of the statistical reliability of the difference in sociological survey results (according to the Pearson χ2 test). The results of the sociological study showed significant differences in the resource and process components of quality assurance of dental care in public and private health care institutions. According to dentists from public institutions, there is a need to ensure legal and financial independence and stability of institutions (77.6±2.6%), it is necessary to update medical equipment, materials, tools (87.6±2.0%), ensuring patient satisfaction (71.0±2.8%) and improving the quality of dental care (57.5±3.1%). The current management system of municipal dental institutions and its management staff do not have the economic levers to improve the quality of dental care and do not implement effective measures to ensure it in a market economy. Solving the problem of providing the population of Ukraine with affordable and high-quality dental care requires the development of new organizational mechanisms for managing the quality of dental care in public health institutions.

Annotation. Coronavirus infection is associated with a large number of complications, among which thromboembolisms of various localization are extremely serious. This article presents an overview of current literature data on the prevalence, need for thromboprophylaxis and strategic diagnostic goals in patients who have experienced thromboembolism of various vessels against the background of COVID-19. From the PubMed, ScienceDirect, UpToDate, Web of science, Scopus databases, 30 sources were selected and reviewed that met the query conditions: the most recent publications (over the last 5 years) or the latest publications on this issue (regardless of the age). Thromboembolic complications arising from COVID-19 correlate with increased disease severity and worsening of treatment outcomes. Patients with COVID-19 had a high risk of venous thromboembolic events (VTE) (a significant proportion is pulmonary embolism (PE) and deep vein thrombosis (DVT) of the lower extremities), in contrast to the heterogeneity of the development of arterial thromboembolic events (ATE) (low rates of development myocardial infarction and stroke). It is important to implement diagnostic and search strategies for early detection of thromboembolism in patients suffering from coronavirus infection. In addition, according to the opinion of most authors, the number of thromboembolic events decreases against the background of taking primary thromboprophylaxis, which is confirmed by a decrease in the percentage of thromboembolic complications in patients with a diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Therefore, conducting a more skeptical assessment of the possibility of the development of VTE is important for the prevention of complications of the coronavirus infection. The study of these problems allows us to use the acquired knowledge on the development of thromboembolic events in patients against the background of the incidence of COVID-19 in a more detailed and justified manner and, accordingly, to improve the methods of diagnosis, treatment and prevention of these complications.
