Maintenance And Reliever Therapy (MART) for young people with asthma
Authors: King Laura
Published: December 2023

Maintenance and reliever therapy (MART) is one device, which serves as both preventer and reliever. In children and young people, the choice is more limited in terms of device and this is called Symbicort MART (SMART). One of the most common modifiable factors for optimal asthma control at any age is adherence to prescribed preventer therapy ( British Thoracic Society(BTS)/Scottish Intercollegiate Guideline Network (SIGN), 2019 ). As young patients grow and take increasing responsibility for their own health, perfect adherence can feel impossible for the developing brain (and with this, the ability to effectively analyse risk). As health professionals, it can be easy to focus on the adherence issue as a failure to organise, and to assume all have the capacity to optimally administer a medication twice daily. What we are increasingly learning through the multiple health inequality and psychosocial workstreams is that there are families who are fundamentally less likely to achieve this, even with additional support from their health team, due to an actual or perceived inability to deal with the modifiable factors highlighted by BTS/SIGN.
Weak log-majorization and inequalities of power means
Authors: Jeong Miran , Kim Sejong
Published: December 2023

As noncommutative versions of the quasi-arithmetic mean, we consider the Lim-Pálfia's power mean, Rényi right mean, and Rényi power means. We prove that the Lim-Pálfia's power mean of order $t \in [-1,0)$ is weakly log-majorized by the log-Euclidean mean and fulfills the Ando-Hiai inequality. We establish the log-majorization relationship between the Rényi relative entropy and the product of square roots of given variables. Furthermore, we show the norm inequalities among power means and provide the boundedness of Rényi power mean in terms of the quasi-arithmetic mean.
“L’homme innocent à honte n’est tenu.”: La Définition de vrai amour par dizains by Marguerite de Navarre, the Problem of Nudity and the “Libertins spirituels”
Authors: Fliege Daniel
Published: December 2023

Abstract: In the Définition de vrai amour par dizains , Marguerite de Navarre explores the nature of love. This cycle of twenty-six poems has received little attention from scholars, as for a long time the poems were only available in a fragmentary edition. It is only since Richard Cooper’s 2007 edition that there is a basic text with which researchers can work. Nevertheless, the poems raise questions, for the writing style is sometimes so hermetic that the texts appear incomprehensible. According to our hypothesis, three factors are responsible for this. Firstly, the structure, which presents a dialogue between a lady and her lover, but which leaves the distribution of roles unclear, so that the reader often does not know which of the two interlocutors is speaking. Secondly, the nature of love itself, which is differentiated in the dialogue between eros and agape , but terminologically is always expressed by the word amour , so that the reader is often left confused. Thirdly, the writing style is particularly condensed and plays with ambiguities. Our thesis is that the poems are intentionally ambiguous in order to confuse the readers and show them the limits of their own intellect. Only “amitié naifve” allows the lover at the end of the dialogue to understand that the divine love of agape is true love; similarly, it is only at the end of the cycle that the reader realizes that religious themes are central to the poems. This paper analyses this technique of confusion as a “poetics of naivety.”
Miroir ou parangon? La cour et les courtisans dans L’Heptaméron
Authors: Krawczyk Dariusz
Published: December 2023

Abstract: The world of the court, with its values and practices, underpins the world Marguerite de Navarre’s Heptaméron , without being the main subject of the short stories. The objective of this article is to analyze how the court and its courtiers were described by one of its founders. It is indeed possible to see not only that Marguerite does not share the vision of the court transmitted in anti-aulic writings, which were very popular in the sixteenth century, but that, in fact, she proposes an idealized vision of the court. It is even possible to observe a certain promotion of courtly culture and its values without the collection of nouvelles becoming an apology of the court. Observations concerning the inscription of La Coche in courtly practices precede the thematic analysis of the frame narrative and of some of the short stories.
The Rhetoric of Repetition in Marguerite de Navarre’s Heptaméron
Authors: Russell Nicolas
Published: December 2023

Abstract: This article focuses on a specific instance of repetition in the Heptaméron , the frequent repetition of the word bien . Drawing on the scholarship of Robert Cottrell and Isabelle Garnier among others, the article first situates this specific instance of repetition within a broader framework of Marguerite’s use of repetition in her poetry and her prose and its relationship to her understanding of how human discourse can engage with the divine. The article then argues that while the word bien has an ostensibly positive meaning, Marguerite undermines its positive valence both in her use of it as an adjective of degree and as a noun by associating it with a broad range of both positive and negative human traits and dispositions. Thus, in the Heptaméron , the word bien comes to lose a fixed valence and comes to symbolize human discourse’s inadequacy to articulate the fundamental nature of the good, which for Marguerite is the souverain bien represented by God. However, Marguerite’s frequent repetition of the word bien in the Heptaméron also serves to cut through the polyvocal bruit of human discourse represented by the devisants’ stories and debates, offering the reader an opportunity for meditation on the inadequacy of human discourse to represent the souverain bien , which can be seen as a strategy emanating from the tradition of negative theology.
Quatre héroïnes en une: art du portrait et féminisme chez Marguerite de Navarre ( L’Heptaméron , 15)
Authors: Le Cadet Nicolas
Published: December 2023

Abstract: Nouvelle 15 of the Heptaméron follows the love life of an aristocratic woman over a long period of time: married at a very young age to a husband who completely neglects her in favor of a lady of the court, she first patiently endures her situation before experiencing three successive adulterous loves. In this sentimental education for women, the heroine constantly metamorphoses as she learns: far from a figure presented as unambiguously vicious or virtuous, she evolves in a gray area rich in multiple virtualities and never ceases to amaze the reader with her speeches or her attitude. In fact, Marguerite de Navarre offers here one of the most beautiful portraits of a woman in the entire collection, a portrait in movement and a multifaceted one nourished by four different literary models—the mal mariée , the virile woman, the cunning woman, the lady’s advocate—which reflect the tensions of her (proto-)feminism.
Le roman du peintre dans Terre d'ombre brûlée de Mahi Binebine
Authors: Semlali Mohamed
Published: December 2023

Abstract: Les récits de Mahi Binebine réservent une place de choix à l'artiste: des figures de poètes, de conteurs, de musiciens et de danseuses y sont à l'honneur. Terre d'ombre brûlée (2014) est un récit à part où Binebine réalise la conjonction entre sa carrière de peintre-sculpteur et son statut d'écrivain. Partant du fait divers de la mort de Jilali Gharbaoui sur un banc parisien en 1971, il construit une fabulation autour de la figure du peintre, son apprentissage, ses illusions et ses désillusions, son combat pour la reconnaissance dans un monde où règne une concurrence farouche et où les valeurs marchandes l'emportent souvent sur les valeurs de l'art. À l'histoire fabulée de Gharbaoui se joignent celles d'autres peintres comme l'italien Alberto, l'espagnol Toni et d'autres artistes exilés qui permettent à Binebine d'exposer sa propre philosophie de l'art, une philosophie très romantique qui fait de l'artiste un voleur de feu et un voyant chargé de mettre des morceaux d'azur dans les yeux de ses semblables.
Les misérables et le portrait du Juste Aristides de Sousa Mendes dans Le consul de Salim Bachi
Authors: Wagner Martine
Published: December 2023

Abstract: Écrit à la première personne, ce roman raconte comment ce consul du Portugal à Bordeaux a sauvé, du 17 au 26 juin 1940, des milliers de réfugiés, notamment juifs, en désobéissant à une circulaire du gouvernement de Salazar et en leur fournissant illégalement des visas d'entrée pour le Portugal. Dans cet article, je montre que l'intertexte de Les misérables de Victor Hugo et l'utilisation de descriptions hugoliennes contenant de longues énumérations permettent à l'auteur de dresser un portrait contradictoire et humain de ce héros historique, ainsi que de faire une critique des régimes dictatoriaux et de l'histoire (post)coloniale européenne.
K11 alternative diplomacies: Penetrating the global arts markets
Authors: Grincheva Natalia
Published: December 2023

This article explores structure, motivations and cross-cultural mechanics of operations of alternative cultural diplomacy in China, performed by K11. The K11 Art Mall franchise, opened in Hong Kong in 2008 by Chinese billionaire Adrian Cheng, has established its visible presence in the global arts markets by supporting contemporary Chinese artists and sponsoring major international arts residencies and large-scale events and exhibitions. Deconstructing and exploring the neo-liberal multilateral nature of K11 diplomacy, the research questions how K11 operates and navigates the international communication complexities within the global arts market. It analyses how this diplomacy is different from government-led bilateral cultural diplomacy of China and why it creates less frictions and contradictions on the international level. The article reveals that the rapid integration of K11 into the international art market is a combination of different factors. Beyond the economic power of K11 to sponsor major international events in collaboration with prestigious partners, it also possesses more flexibility and tolerance to navigate the normative environments of the ‘epistemic community’ of the global arts world, which do not always work well with national authoritative regime’s pressures. However, positioning itself as an apolitical player with a global vision, K11 is dominating a niche within the national art market, where it does not compete with state authorities. Moreover, it generates a high economic and cultural capital in China by nurturing contemporary Chinese arts and raising their prestige and value on the international level.
Implementation of Party-Ideological Campaign against the «Sycophancy towards the West» in Tomsk Higher Education Institutions (1947-1948)
Authors: Morozov D.S. , Razgon V.N.
Published: December 2023

The article describes the process of implementing a campaign against «sycophancy towards the West» in higher education institutions of the largest university and scientific center of Siberia — Tomsk. The role of central and regional party bodies in the organization of the campaign, the mechanism of its implementation, and the consequences for the higher school of the region are shown.

The campaign was generated by the desire of the Stalinist regime to protect the Soviet intelligentsia from the influence of liberal ideas in the face of increasing confrontation with the West in connection with the beginning of the Cold War. It included ideological measures aimed at strengthening the propaganda of «Soviet patriotism» and criticism of professors and researchers accused of "blind worship" of the culture and scientific authorities of the bourgeois West. "Moral repression" was combined with the dismissal of some professors, at the same time, due to the lack of scientific personnel, highly qualified scientists from the European part of the country who arrived in Tomsk as a result of persecution were hired at local universities.

This campaign aimed at isolating domestic science and education and more intensive use of the mobilization resources of the socialist system, on the one hand, contributed to the intensification of scientific research in areas that were considered critical for military-technological confrontation with the West and demonstrating the superiority of socialism, and on the other hand, contributed to the deepening of the backlog of most scientific areas forced to develop in isolation from the achievements of world science.

Conclusions: the elite of Tuva played a huge role in the creation and functioning of the first party, but at the same time without the help and actually daily leading and guiding role of the USSR it was impossible not only the formation of the first Tuvan State, but also the development of statehood, the creation of institutions of power, social institutions, including the TPRP.
Agrarian Economy of Siberia and Emergency Legislation during the Great Patriotic War
Authors: Papkov S.A.
Published: December 2023

The article deals with the peculiarities of agricultural development in Siberia during the war. An assessment of the main losses of labor resources and material base of the region is given. The role of emergency laws in the field of labor and the consequences of their application are described. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of the government decree on the minimum of collective farm labor and the scope of application of criminal liability for its non-compliance. The significance of the use of Article 61 of the Criminal Code of the RSFSR about the failure to fulfill the state burdens is also revealed. The problem of mass starvation during the war years as a consequence of the destruction of the foundations of the agrarian economy is touched upon. It is noted that the famine in the rural areas of Siberia had already spread on the eve of the war, but most widely affected the population of the village in 1943-1944. A number of new historical facts and statistical data characterizing the situation of agriculture and the peasantry in Siberia during the war are introduced into scientific circulation. Concludes that measures of judicial threat did not play a decisive role during the war, and that motivation to work was determined by personal and collective responsibility of rural toilers. Keywords: Great Patriotic War, World War II, agriculture, livestock, Siberia, resources, peasantry, emergency laws.
History of the Study of Chinese Traditional Architecture in the 20th Century : Specificity of Tang Dynasty Cult Objects
Authors: Varova E.I. , Ziganshin R.M.
Published: December 2023

The relevance of the study is conditioned by the need to study Chinese religious buildings in order to identify the specifics of the construction of temple complexes, to reveal the features inherent in ancient temple buildings. The experience of studying temple complexes of the Tang dynasty in the context of historical research in China in the 20th century is analyzed. The monument of Buddhist Tang architecture — Foguang temple is considered. The socio-economic situation in China in the 20th century formed special conditions for the development of institutes, faculties for the study of temple building. The process of adaptation of architects to the new conditions after the Cultural Revolution was not unequivocal, as most of the temple buildings were destroyed. Only a small part of China's history remained imprinted in cult architecture, which had to be studied. As a result of historical research, new sources appear, and previously unstudied temples are introduced into scientific circulation. Among the Chinese architects of the 20th century were real connoisseurs of Chinese culture, who collected unique objects of ancient architecture, which became part of the world cultural heritage. It is concluded that in each historical epoch of temple building had its own distinctive features; temple architecture became a standard of power and might of emperors of this or that period, allowing us today to judge the achievements and knowledge of ancient architects.
Representation of the Legitimacy of Imperial Power in the Roman Empire
Authors: Gudkov N.A.
Published: December 2023

This article is devoted to the analysis of ideas about the legitimacy of imperial power in the Roman Empire. Particular attention is paid to the understanding of legitimacy in the imperial period of Roman history and, in particular, Late Antiquity. The conclusion is made about the "broad" and somewhat "blurred" idea of the legitimacy of the imperial power in the Roman Empire, about the discrepancy between the modern term "legitimacy" and the ancient understanding. The elements and components of legitimacy, its main sources, institutions and ways of giving legitimacy to the new emperor who ascended the throne are presented. It is shown how the image of the legitimate emperor was inscribed in the image of the empire. Of the institutions, special attention is paid to the army as one of the most significant institutions in the election and approval of the new emperor. Methods for recognizing imperial power by referring to the "divine" principle: pagan gods, and, subsequently, to Christianity, are also considered. The reasons for the process of loss of legitimacy by the rulers of the Western Roman Empire in the 5th century AD are analyzed. The transfer of legitimacy from political institutions and the empire to a single emperor, characteristic of the Roman political consciousness, is shown.
Late Antique Rhetoric and the Rhetorical School in R. Cribiore's Research
Authors: Denisova I.V.
Published: December 2023

The article discusses the scientific biography and the main directions of research of the American antiquarian and classical philologist Raffaella Cribiore, one of the world's leading specialists in the study of Late Antique rhetoric and school as the most important link in the cultural continuum between Antiquity and the Middle Ages. Among the personalities of most interest to the scholar is Libanius, the Antiochian rhetorician, the greatest representative of the Third Sophistic. Quite a few works by Libanius have been preserved, most of this corpus is still awaiting translation. The researcher's interests were territorially localized in Egypt. The third leading theme of Cribiore's narrative is gender (female epistolography of Late Antiquity). One of the leading directions in Cribiore's research is the study of the history of education and the higher rhetorical school, rhetoric and sophistry of Late Antiquity, especially 4th century Antioch, and rhetoric as a cultural phenomenon. It was possible to establish that R. Cribiore's particularly detailed study of Late Antique sophistry and epistolography, which was not only an academic discipline and a necessary skill, but also an important aspect of academic and, more importantly, social career in Late Antiquity. The analysis of the content and comparative comparison of the works of modern studies within the framework of the designated problems allows us to assert that R. Cribiore was a leading specialist in the field of ancient rhetorical education, and in general higher education in Late Antiquity, and on some positions — even before the 8th century.
Accumulation of Information about Metal Mirrors from Altai Sites and the Formation of a Source Base in the 1920s — the First Half of the 1950s
Authors: Radovskaya E.A.
Published: December 2023

The article is devoted to the history of the discovery and study of 20 metal mirrors recorded in the territory of Altai in the 1920s — the first half of the 1950s. It has been established that the vast majority of products come from the monuments of the Scythian period and the Middle Ages. An analysis of the available information about the finds allowed the author of the study to identify several trends that are characteristic of this stage. During this period, the leading museum institutions of the country (the Russian Museum, the State Hermitage, the State Historical Museum) organized a number of large expeditions led by professional archaeologists (S.I. Rudenko, S.V. Kiselev, M.P. Gryaznov). Most of the metal mirrors presented in the publication come from the archaeological complexes investigated by these experts. In addition, there is an active work of employees of local museums (M.D. Kopytov, S.M. Sergeev) in the study of the ancient past of the region. In particular, they assembled a series of metal mirrors that added to the collections of the State Hermitage and the Biysk Museum of Local Lore. Another important trend ofthe designated period was the first theoretical understanding of the findings. Thus, sections related to the cultural and chronological interpretation of metal mirrors found on the territory of Altai appear in the articles and monographs of archaeologists.

Stimulating students with disabilities to engage in adaptive physical culture is oneof the main tasks facing university administrations, along with support in the educational space. Theexisting deep violations, the lack of proper attention on the part of physical education teachers toinclude these students in the process of physical education, predetermine the already well-establishedopinion among special students entering the university that their lot is only attending lecturesand writing essays. The article discusses the organization of the educational process for studentswith disabilities, with various nosological forms, engaged in adaptive sports games. The purposeof the study was to compare the indicators of gaming skills in the two study groups. The basis forthe activation of physical development was the board sports game Jaccolo. The study involved 48students divided into an experimental group (24 people) with disabilities and a control group — 24normotypic students. The average age is 20, 4±1,93. During two semesters, the respondents of the1st group were actively engaged in elective courses of Jaccolo, using the sites of the TSU AdaptiveSports Games club, and also performed at various integrated regional and city mass sports events.Students of the 2nd group were only familiarized with the rules and techniques of the game at masterclasses and demonstration performances. We didn't have much gaming practice. The developedcurriculum allowed to motivate students to innovative forms of adaptive physical culture and leisureactivities. An individual approach, with metered loads, tutoring and volunteer support, to studentsin need, contributed to achieving certain results. The control results showed an increase of 29% inthe experimental group, where students with disabilities purposefully improved their playing skills,confirming it at various competitions, achieving good individual and team results. NSI classes allowyou to expand the boundaries of social integration, to believe in your own capabilities, to be one team,which in the future will help to overcome difficult life situations
MODERN APPROACHES TO DETERMINING THE FUNCTIONAL STATE AND QUALITY OF LIFE IN PATIENTS WITH ANKYLOSING SPONDYLITIS, APPLICABLE IN KINESITHERAPY PRACTICE
Authors:   Sofia University “St. Kliment Ohridski”, N. Petrova
Published: December 2023

The functional suitability and quality of life in ankylosing spondylitis are key indicators that determine the patient's need for care and affect his consent to the therapy and his satisfaction with treatment. In last years, the trend of assessment based on the patient's perception of his health problems plus the expert opinion of the specialist in the field has been established. Currently, assessment of functional status and quality of life are more and more used in kinesitherapy practice because they collect the necessary information about the patient's condition and assist in the development of a specialized kinesitherapy program.The quality of life as defined by the WHO is “the individual's perception of his place in life, in thecontext of the cultural and value system in which he lives and in relation to his goals, expectations, standards and interests. It is a broad concept, influenced in a complex way by a person's physical health, his psychological state, his degree of independence, social contacts and their interrelation with the characteristic features of the environment”.

Published: December 2023

The efficiency of oxygen transport to working muscles for athletes is one of the most important factors, as oxygen is involved in oxidative processes of muscles. The amount of oxygen inhaled is directly proportional to the amount consumed by the cells. The ability of the blood to transfer oxygen is affected by: hemoglobin content, total mass of the hemoglobin, erythrocyte volume and hematocrit. Oxygen transport provides the hemoglobin protein that is contained within the redblood cells that make up the blood. Trainings and medications have a positive effect on the blood and cardiovascular system, contributing to the improvement of both the body's performance and sports performance. Improving the performance of the athlete's body is variable in the training process. The task of the athlete and the coach is to find a constant balance of the training load and the state of readiness of the athlete's body to match the load. An important role in this is played by the changein hematocrit in a changing load, which, in our opinion, should understand the significance of short intensive training in preparing an endurance runner.

Published: December 2023

Interest in the adaptation of the human body to the environment, to the harsh climatic conditions living in the territories of the Far North of Russia and the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug, is manifested among scientists of various sciences and related disciplines, including biology. The uncertainty and impermanence of homeostatic systems, from the theory of chaos-self-organization, forms a new worldview on the analysis and systematics of complexity systems. Comparison of the changes in the parameters of the cardiorespiratory system in the phase plane at rest, the construction of their graphical portrait and the construction of matrices of paired comparisons of cardiointervals will allow us to determine the depth and nature of the effects of climatic conditions on the body under conditions of hypothermia.

Water kayaking tourism for extracurricular work with schoolchildren is very valuable: along with the acquired skills of driving kayaks and organizing a bivouac, environmental studies are conducted, children get acquainted with the monuments of nature and architecture of their small homeland: the Kirov region.The following settlements were located along the route of the expedition: the city of Orlov, the village of Leninskaya Iskra, the village of Istobensk, the city of Kotelnich, the village of Suvodi, the village of Vishkil, the village of Sorvizhi, the village of Gorbunovshchina. Chemical analysis of water samples taken during the expedition showed that all water samples did not meet the requirements of the SanPiN for natural water in terms of the content of carbonates and organic pollutants. The most polluted water in the Vyatka River is near the city of Orlov. The water near the village of Sorvizhi and at the mouth of the Moloma River is phytotoxic, the rest of the water samples are not phytotoxic. The highest microbiological activity (IBA) in the Vyatka River is in the city of Orlov and the village of Sorvizhi; in other water samples, the IBA is medium or low. The highest antioxidant activity (AOA) is in the Moloma River; the remaining water samples have an average AOA. It was revealed that the highest mold content is in the village of Sorvizhi, a small one is in the cities of Orlov, Istobensk and in the Murdyuk River. A comprehensive assessment of water samples from the Vyatka River and its tributaries showed that the worst water quality is in the village of Sorvizhi, the cleanest is in the Murdyuk River. A comparison of the data of seven kayaking expeditions were built from water samples in 2003, 2005, 2013–2015, 2018 and 2022 showed that the water quality in the Vyatka River deteriorated in the tributaries of the Vyatka River: the Moloma and Murdyuk rivers; the water quality in the Vyatka River has hardly changed since 2003.

Kayaking expeditions broaden the horizons of their participants: students of the socio-economic profile of the lyceum. The survey of residents of cities, towns and villages along the route of the expedition, after studying the materials on the socio-economic development of the Kirov region, allows you to really assess the current situation. The following settlements were located along the route of the expedition: the city of Orlov, the village of Leninskaya Iskra, the village of Istobensk, the city of Kotelnich, the village of Suvodi, the village of Vishkil, the village of Sorvizhi. the village of Gorbunovshchina. After a survey of the population, it was found out that the trends of socioeconomic development of settlements in general correspond to the all-Russian dynamics. An analysis of the literature and a survey of the population showed that the population has grown since 2010 only in Istobensk, Suvodi and Sorvizh, and in other localities: Orlov, Kotelnich, Vishkil, Gorbunovshchina-there is a decrease in the population and the growth of summer residents. Infrastructure is developing in large settlements, industry is developing, new jobs are emerging, and in other settlements there is a decrease in the population, the closure of schools, medical posts and shops; villages and towns are increasingly populated by summer residents.
GENDER PECULIARITIES OF SPORTS TRAINING OF QUALIFIED FEMALE ATHLETES IN BIATHLON
Authors:   Ugra State University, A. Kostromkina
Published: December 2023

Every year the popularity of women in high performance sports, including biathlon, increases. Sports achievements of women and men have not only gender differences. This is due to morpho-constitutional differences (body size, weight, composition and structure of tissues) and individual-psychological (women's reactions are more emotional, hyperreflexive in contrast to men, their reactions are more vivid and richer). The aim of the study was the theoretical substantiation and analysis of gender features of female biathletes determining their sports training. During the theoretical study, it was found that women's adaptation to great physical exertion is closely related to the level of sex hormones. Disturbances in the function of sex glands lead to a decrease in athletic performance. There are two peaks of performance. The first one coincides with the increase in estrogen concentration (2-nd phase, the 5th-7th day of a cycle), the second one progesterone (4th phase, the 16th-18th day of a cycle). A relatively high level of performance is maintained from day 7 to 11 of the cycle (2nd phase of the cycle), as well as from day 19 to 25 (2nd phase of the cycle). Starting from the 12th-15th day the lowest level of efficiency is observed. Practical recommendations are given, determining the training pattern of women biathletes on the basis of their physiological status.

In recent years in Russia there have been significant changes in the field of education and organization of recreation for children with disabilities and limited health conditions (hereinafter referred to as DHD). Tabletop Sports Games (hereinafter referred to as NSI) are quite actively developed in recent years and introduced into the practice of use by the All-Russian Society of the Disabled (hereinafter referred to as VOI), a Russian organization that unites people with disabilities. NSI can be used not only in the sphere of adaptive physical recreation as one of the forms of organizing active recreation for people with disabilities, but also in the sphere of adaptive sports - organizing competitions of different levels. The analysis of using NSI with this category of students is presented in the article. Specificity of use of NSI as in education - as a section of the working program of discipline "Elective disciplines of physical training and sports" for students with physical disabilities (adaptive physical training), and in the sphere of adaptive physical recreation is revealed. The basic tabletop sports games and their brief rules of play are considered. A number of suggestions for the use of NSI in the organization of adaptive physical recreation of students are presented. Conclusions are formed.

In accordance with the comprehensive program of physical education for schoolchildren, basketball is one of the means of physical education. The technique of playing basketball is diverse. The most important techniques are: dribbling, throwing. The ability to control the ball according to technical rules creates a prerequisite in the game for choosing a good position for a shot. The success of the game ultimately depends on the accuracy of the throw. Knowing the level of learning and the dynamics of the formation of the technique of dribbling, throwing will allow teachers to select and use in the lesson tools that provide training at a higher level. The purpose of the study: To study the issues of solving educational problems in basketball lessons through the motivation of students, by means of performing non-standard tasks. Tasks: 1. To improve the quality of dribbling (without visual control), throwing into the ring, catching the ball after a rebound.2. Identify and determine the dynamics of results in possession of the ball by means of tasks performed through a standard control test.3. Help increase interest in the game of basketball. To solve the tasks, the methods of testing, observation, pedagogical experiment were used.

Rheumatoid arthritis is an inflammatory condition typically affecting joint spaces. However, extra-articular manifestations are common including vascular and gastrointestinal tract involvement. This disease may also manifest as nodules, although these are typically found in the extremities and are very rarely seen in the liver. When a patient presents with liver nodules, an extensive work-up is typically completed to determine infectious, inflammatory, or malignant etiologies. We report hepatic findings of rheumatoid arthritis during an extensive inpatient investigation of liver lesions.

Sleep hygiene is essential for the prevention of somatic and mental disorders, including the prevention of sleep disorders. However, it does not typically address individual differences. The aim of this review is threefold: first, to outline the empirical evidence for particular components of sleep hygiene rules; second, to indicate the importance of individualized sleep hygiene application with regard to the varying degree of validity of sleep hygiene rules in the population; third, to highlight a new field of sleep hygiene, namely light hygiene. PubMed and Google Scholar were used to identify studies that were published between 2007 and 2022. A search was conducted for studies related to sleeping rules topics: sleep regularity, regular exercise, alcohol, caffeine, napping, relaxation and meditation, food intake and light exposure. In applying these sleep hygiene principles, it is essential to pay attention to individual variables such as age, genetic predisposition, health status, and substance (caffeine, alcohol) possible dependence.

To evaluate the retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) thickness and choroidal thickness (CT) in Parkinson disease (PD) patients. A comparative cross-sectional, hospital-based study. 39 PD and 39 controls were recruited, who were gender and age matched. Subjects that fulfilled the inclusion criteria underwent optical coherence tomography for evaluation of RNFL thickness and choroidal thickness (CT). There was significant reduction of RNFL thickness in average (adjusted mean 88.87 µm vs. 94.82 µm, P=0.001), superior (adjusted mean 110.08 µm vs. 119.10 µm, P=0.002) and temporal (adjusted mean 63.77 µm vs. 70.36 µm, P=0.004) in PD compared to controls. The central subfoveal CT was significantly thinner in PD compared to controls (adjusted mean 271.13 µm vs. 285.10 µm, P=0.003). In PD group, there was significant weak negative correlation between the duration of PD with average RNFL thickness (r=–0.354, P=0.027), moderate negative correlation between the duration of PD with central subfoveal CT (r=–0.493, P=0.001), and weak negative correlation between the stage of PD with central subfoveal CT (r=–0.380, P=0.017). PD group had significant thinner average, superior and temporal RNFL thickness and CT compared to controls.
A Practical and Applicable New Index as an Indicator of Inflammation in the Diagnosis of Erectile Dysfunction: C-reactive Protein-to-Albumin Ratio
Authors: Cilli Mesut , Ulutas Kemal Turker
Published: December 2023

Current evidence suggests that the significant underlying pathophysiological mechanism in erectile dysfunction (ED) is endothelial dysfunction. It is clinically essential to monitor ED because inflammatory processes lead to dysfunctional endothelium and the progression of atherosclerosis. The current retrospective analysis assessed the registers of 90 patients with ED complaints (ED group) and 78 healthy people without ED complaints (control group) who were being managed at the urology units of the surgical outpatient clinic. The international index of erectile function-5 (IIEF-5) evaluated the ED. C-reactive protein (CRP)/albumin ratio (CAR) value was determined by manually dividing serum CRP value by the albumin value in patients whose CRP value was between 0 and 5 mg/l. The average CAR was 0.45 ± 0.37 (ED group) versus 0.22 ± 0.1 in the control group (p=0.0001). IIEF-5 results were negatively correlated with CAR values (r=−0.299; p=0.0001). The strongest cut-off of CAR for predicting ED was 0.025, with 81.8% sensitivity and 75% specificity (p=0.0001). The ED group showed higher levels of CAR and CRP than the control group. CAR can be used as a practical, easy-to-calculate, and cost-effective index in diagnosing ED patients.
Technology integration to promote circular economy transformation of the garment industry: a systematic literature review
Authors: Yiyan Wang , Zakaria Norsaadah
Published: December 2023

This study was prompted by the unsustainable issues facing the garment industry and the trend toward digitalisation in the post-coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic era. COVID-19 substantially affected global trade, which caused significant garment industry stagnation due to embargoes and international restrictions. Consequently, the stagnation led to a significant inventory backlog and hindered product distribution, which compelled garment companies to turn to online commerce. A circular economy (CE) attempts to halt commodity flow and convert waste into resources; therefore, it can alleviate the substantial garment industry pollution and waste produced under a linear economy and maximise product life cycles. Industrial Revolution 4.0 incorporates technological innovation and information technology to transform the garment industry, which technologically enhances manufacturing intelligence and inspires garment industry transformation into a CE. This systematic literature review discusses the necessity of transforming the garment industry into a CE and the technological advantages and challenges to promoting sustainable garment industry development. The findings demonstrated that transforming the garment industry into a CE can not only resolve its environmental pollution and excess supply issues but can also accommodate new supply and demand requirements, such as market digitisation, consumer personalisation, and industry chain transparency. Finally, a technology integration initiative was proposed to promote garment industry transformation into a CE by digitising product development to achieve sustainable development.
