Background

Intimate partner sexual violence and non-partner rape experiences are widely reported by female students in South African higher education institutions, as they are globally. However, limited research has focused on investigating vulnerability factors, which is vital for informing interventions.

Objective

To describe the factors and inter-relationships associated with female students’ increased vulnerability to past year experience of partner sexual violence and non-partner rape in South African higher education settings.

Methods

We interviewed 1293 female students, i.e., 519 students in six Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) college campuses and 774 students at three university campuses. Participants were volunteers aged 18–30. The measured vulnerability factors included childhood sexual abuse, other trauma, mental ill-health, risky sexual behaviours, food insecurity, partner violence, and controlling behaviours. We used bivariate analysis, logistic regression, and structural equation modelling methods.

Results

Twenty percent of participants experienced past-year sexual violence (17% partner sexual violence and 7.5% non-partner rape). Childhood sexual abuse had direct effects on experiencing past year sexual violence and physical, emotional partner violence or controlling behaviours. Risky sexual behaviours mediated the relationships of childhood sexual abuse or harmful alcohol use and past-year sexual violence experience. Mental ill-health mediated the relationships between childhood sexual abuse, other traumatic exposures, food insecurity, physical, emotional partner violence or controlling behaviours, and past-year partner sexual violence or non-partner rape experience.

Conclusions

Risky sexual behaviours, gender inequitable relationship dynamics, mental ill-health, and food insecurity are related and amenable vulnerability factors associated with female students’ sexual violence experiences. Therefore, addressing these through comprehensive campus interventions, which are implemented when students first enrol in higher education and are most vulnerable to sexual violence, is critical. Society-wide sexual violence prevention is also imperative.

Published: December 2021

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a complex metabolic disease and variations in multispecific membrane transporter functions may affect T2DM development, complications or treatment. In this work we have analyzed the potential effects of a major polymorphism, the Q141K variant of the ABCG2 transporter in T2DM. The ABCG2 protein is a multispecific xeno- and endobiotic transporter, affecting drug metabolism and playing a key role in uric acid extrusion. The ABCG2-Q141K variant, with reduced expression level and function, is present in 15–35% of individuals, depending on the genetic background of the population, and has been shown to significantly affect gout development. Several other diseases, including hypertension, chronic renal failure, and T2DM have also been reported to be associated with high serum uric acid levels, suggesting that ABCG2 may also play a role in these conditions. In this work we have compared relatively small cohorts (n = 203) of T2DM patients (n = 99) and healthy (n = 104) individuals regarding the major laboratory indicators of T2DM and determined the presence of the SNP rs2231142 (C421A), resulting the ABCG2-Q141K protein variant. We found significantly higher blood glucose and HbA1c levels in the T2DM patients carrying the ABCG2-Q141K variant. These findings may emphasize the potential metabolic role of ABCG2 in T2DM and indicate that further research should explore how prevention and treatment of this disease may be affected by the frequent polymorphism of ABCG2.
Technological recommendations in rabbit production

Published: December 2021

In the last ten years a number of research were done and articles were published in order to improve or change the housing conditions of rabbits. These studies focus on the customer needs and changes in expectations based usually on animal welfare. During farm visits we found that the housing circumstances among those factors which are emphasized individually or jointly appeared in the everyday life of rabbit farming (for example: optimal micro-climate, cage floor space, type of floor, keeping mode, environmental enrichment, etc.). In our work we tried to determine the advantages and disadvantages of each procedure. In many cases it is difficult to create perfect coherence with the ideas of animal rights, animal needs and economic interests of the farmers. The number of results and ideas for implementation of all the correct procedures is so great that it is certainly impossible to keep them a time and place in a single technology. Of course, if the changes are generated by the consumer demands, then the farmer has to adapt to expectations in order to keep the market (and sometimes ignoring some other aspects).

In this case study the analyses focus on the some correlation compares among EU-28 member states. Also the analyses focus on the wide side overview for the EU-28 member states using eight variances of three principal components for EU-28. The economic growing rate of EU-28 member states concerning some economic issues as GDP growing rate, employment, unemployment accompanying with social protection and government debt, price fluctuating, purchase power parity of consumers and also probably lifelong learning. The eight numbers according to each variance give the average value of KMO, which shows in the first line of T able T. KMO and Bartlett's Test, namely 0.628. In this case all of other variances expect RisPov2014 have strong correlations with themselves. The LLeam2014 has the strongest correlations by value of 0.767 (76%), also the GovDebt2014 has strong one, by 0.744 (74%), HICPan2014 has 0.731 (73%), the GDPcap2014 has value of 0.706 (70.6%). This SPSS statistical program can help to make clear overview for the correlations and differences among EU-28 member states from different issues and approaches, as variances. Also it is important, when the researchers choose these variances; they should know that the correlations among variances based on the principle components. These last one can select variances into different components, which mostly can explain the role and importance of each variance.

A Covid19-világjárvány jelentős recessziót eredményezett a turizmus szektorban. A korlátozó intézkedések enyhítése mellett a lakosság hozzáállása is nagyban befolyásolja a válságból való a kilábalást, ezért kutatócsoportunk az egyes közlekedési módokkal kapcsolatos társadalmi attitűdök, a világjárvány alatti turisztikai szokások, valamint a járvány enyhülését, megszűnését követő utazási motiváció feltárását tűzte ki célul. A kutatási célok megvalósításához kvalitatív (6 fókuszcsoportos interjú) és kvantitatív adatfelvételi módszereken alapuló, utóbbi esetében a felnőtt magyarországi lakosságra vonatkozóan reprezentatív (n=3025), kutatás készült. A kutatásba bevont alanyok szerint a járvány teljes leküzdéséig legfeljebb a belföldi turizmus iránti kereslet erősödhet, azt követően azonban a nemzetközi turizmus hirtelen fellendülése valószínűsíthető. A kérdőíves, reprezentatív megkérdezés alapján a lakosság körében óvatos, kockázatkerülő magatartás mutatkozik. A válaszadók jelentős része arról számolt be, hogy jövőbeni utazásai során, a Covid19-világjárványt követő időszakban is körültekintőbb lesz a higiéniai szabályok betartásával kapcsolatban. A szigorúbb egészségvédelmi intézkedések iránti erősödő igény tudatában érdemes újragondolni a közlekedési és turisztikai szolgáltatások konstrukcióját (pl. repülőgépek férőhelye, egészségügyi ellenőrzések, szálláshelyek és egyéb szolgáltatók hosszú távú járványügyi védekezése), ami nagyban befolyásolhatja a szektor fellendülését.

Notfallmedizinische Kommunikation im Unterricht Polnisch als Fremdsprache. Analyse von Gesprächsverhalten deutschsprachiger Rettungskräfte
Authors: Lisek Grzegorz
Published: December 2021

This paper focuses on the emergency communication of German paramedics who are learning Polish as a foreign language. This is to be tested in a role play, in which speech acts occur. Can the recorded speech acts or certain pragmatic phenomena be used in foreign language teaching of emergency communication? The study shows that the majority of patients’ responses are understood by the paramedics, but they respond to them inappropriately. Therefore, it is concluded that language courses for paramedics should focus much more on fixed phrases in Polish. The analysis of the recordings shows that this would enable them to formulate their answers in Polish, and not in German or English. In addition, code-switching sequences were used as means to identify the areas where there is a need for a modification of the programme and exercises during the lessons. The emphasis should lie on non-medical answers to the patient’s linguistic actions as well.
Glottodidaktische Steuerung und Regelung auf interindividueller Ebene
Authors: Szczodrowski Marian
Published: December 2021

The subject of this discussion consists of selected concepts regarding the codematic foundations of foreign-language learning and cybernetic systems of foreign-language communication. The author focuses on processes of controlling, regulating, and directing foreign-language structures at the inter-individual level from the teacher to the learner. The control process, coupled with the process of basic information transfer, supports and strengthens it, both with linguistic (suprasegmental) means and extra-linguistic (visual) means. The basis of the regulation process are the effects of the coded structures of the learner, effects delivered to the teacher by the control system functioning through feedback. Glottodidactic direction includes the above two processes in order to transfer inaccurate structures, once corrected by the teacher, with the aim of re-decoding them and correctly assimilating them.
Über ból und symptomy… Wortschatz im Polnischunterricht für deutschsprachige Rettungskräfte
Authors: LISEK GRZEGORZ
Published: December 2021

This paper focuses on the lexical side of the emergency communication of German paramedics who are learning Polish as a foreign language for professional purposes. The aim of the study is to find out which lexical units arise during language courses and how often. To what extent can the acquired vocabulary be used to develop dedicated programmes for foreign language acquisition in medical emergency communication? The analysis shows that the vocabulary collected here depends on the subject, such as ból (pain) or leki (medicines). According to the participants, symptomy (symptoms) and duszności (shortness of breath) are also part of the common vocabulary. Emergency medical communication can be carried out with the question pronouns kiedy (when) and gdzie (where). Among the most frequently repeated lexical units of vital parameters during patient transfer are saturacja (oxygen saturation) and puls (pulse). The vocabulary collected here should help in preparing a description of the competences which should form part of a language course for professional purposes.
The perception of languages by Italian native speakers
Authors: NITTI PAOLO , FACCHETTI GIULIO
Published: December 2021

This essay showcases the results of a survey conducted on a sample of Italian speakers which focused on their perception of languages. The research, carried out in the second half of 2019, has enabled corroborating the initial hypothesis about the existence of preconceptions and stereotypes associated with the perception of foreign languages and cultures (Elman & McClelland 1986) by Italian people. In particular, a questionnaire was used to clarify which adjectives are commonly associated with selected foreign languages, in order to identify certain trends and stereotypes. The survey is based on ethnolinguistic and language education studies (Cardona 2006), and was performed through data collection techniques used in ethnography and sociolinguistics (Tagliamonte 2006).
The Holocausts
Authors: Morawiec Arkadiusz
Published: December 2021

The article examines genocide as a category that has been used and abused in various, especially historical, political, and ideological, discourses. It considers whether the extermination of Jews (the Holocaust) should be studied in the context of other mass crimes. I investigate various sources of twentieth-century organized violence and their literary representations. I also discuss the works of Polish literature (by Nałkowska, Gębarski, Woroszylski, and Margolis), which depict twentieth- -century acts of genocide (the extermination of Jews and Armenians, in particular) in the context of other mass crimes.
The Holocaust – the Border of Pragmatic Language
Authors: Prušková Zora
Published: December 2021

The theme of the paper is observing and revealing non-pragmatic language that, when dealing with deliberately chosen texts about acts of violence, leads to productive aesthetic disturbance. In its substance, this language refers to the gulf between intensity of representation and ideological intention towards a reader declared in a complicated manner. The paper discusses five texts with the theme of the Holocaust. Three of them deal with the Holocaust as with a recent experience, namely Curzio Malaparte’s Caput (1944), Žofia Nalkowska’s Medallions (1945), and Leopold Lahola’s Last Thing (1949–1956, published in a book in 1968); whereas two other ones deal with the Holocaust after some time in a form of belles-lettres memoirs or testimony, namely Juraj Špitzer’s I Did Not Want to Be a Jew (1994) and Jerzy Kosiński’s Painted Bird (in English in 1965, Czech translation was published in 2011). All interpreted texts are marked by specific language situated beyond the border of traditional literary representation. This language is either extremely subjective, expressive and periphrastic – in this case it borders on with absurd Realism or nonsense (in case of C. Malaparte, J. Kosiński, and L. Lahola) – or, in its neutral representation (in case of Ž. Nalkowska, and J. Špitzer), it borders on with a melancholic self-referential document on limits of cultural humanism or of normal, common humanity.
Yelling into the Silence and its Echos. Czech Shoah Poetry Written till 1960s and its Reception
Authors: Balík Štěpán
Published: December 2021

The literary reflection of the Shoah in Czech war and post-war poetry is very limited. Only a few non-Jewish poets have ever returned to thistheme (e.g. František Halas,Jiří Kolář,Jaroslav Seifert, Jan Skácel, Karel Křepelka, Radek Malý). Additionally, literary “testaments” of Jewish authors (Karel Fleischmann, Pavel Friedmann etc.) resulted in only two collections of poems entirely dedicated to the suffering of the Jews during the Nazi oppression (Ota Reich and Michal Flach). On the other hand, there are several books of poetry about Lidice and suffering of the Czech people during the World War II by Viktor Fischl, Karel Šiktanc, Libuše Hájková, Miloš Vacík and others. After the war there were only Jaroslav Seifert and Jiří Kolář among well-known poets who refered to the Shoah in a more significant way. Seifert created a figure of a Jewish girl, Hendele, in his collection of poems Koncert na ostrově (Concert on the Island), which develops the literary narration of the Shoah. Jiří Kolář referred to the Shoah repeatedly, however, he only had a limited chance to publish his work. As a result of this fact, the reception of Czech post-war poetry about the Shoah is almost absent. In my article, I concentrated on some reviewers’ remarks that have already been published since the war-time and other reflections of this kind such as editions of books by Jiří Orten, Hanuš Bonn, Jiří Daniel. A hypothetical reaction on the Shoah verses by Pick’s cabaret audience or Halas’s anonymous poetic obituary paying tribute to Jiří Orten are rather specific sorts of reception. The critical reflection of Kolář’s work in the context of the mass murder commited during the WW II is exceptional. However, the specific motifs of the Shoah were significantly focused on only in recent years by three foreign reviewers (Leszek Engelking, Hanna Marciniak and Anja Golebiowski). Czech Shoah poems printed or reprinted in Jewish periodicals (e.g. annual “Židovská ročenka”, published since 1954) represent a commemorative function, even though sometimes with informative commentaries. They miss any analytical aspect.

Milo Urban’s Journalist Writing and Memoirs on the Theme of the Holocaust (in Slovak literature)
Authors: Csiba Karol
Published: December 2021

The article discusses selected texts of different genres by Milo Urban (1904–1982). The first text level is represented by fragments from his memoirs written in the 1970s and only published in the 1990s. An analysis of Urban’s journalistic activities during the Second World War provides us with another point of view. The article wishes to show different language versions elaborated by one author when dealing with one particular historical moment (the solution of the Jewish question and the Holocaust). This points at a significant change in Urban’s attitude to historical tragedies of the 20th century, and raises the question about a personal tragedy of an individual as well as his ability to cope with guilt and responsibility.
Computational analysis of the particle size effect on the pressure profiles and type of flow regimes of TiO2 microparticles in a fluidized bed
Authors: Bahramian Alireza
Published: December 2021

The effect of particle size on the pressure profiles and flow regimes of the bed containing TiO2 microparticles (MPs) was investigated in a fluidized bed. The fluidization behavior of particles with mean diameters, d

p
, of 170, 200, 225, and 300 μm at different gas velocities, U

g
, was investigated both experimental and computational viewpoints. A computational fluid dynamic (CFD) model was developed by the Eulerian–Eulerian approach to evaluate the sensitivity of the Syamlal–O’Brien, and Gidaspow drag models on the predicted results of the bed pressure profiles. The results showed that with increasing particle size, the amplitude of pressure fluctuations increases and the type of flow regime in the bed tended from bubbling to slugging flow regime. The error analysis showed that the use of the Gidaspow model led to more accurate results than the Syamlal–O’Brien model in predicting the bed pressure drop and pressure fluctuations in the slugging flow regime. However, the Syamlal–O’Brien model was more suitable for predicting the pressure profiles in the bubbling flow regime. The results were more suitable for the bed containing particles of 300 μm than the beds with d

p
 ≤ 225 μm. The highest and lowest deviations between the experimental data and simulation outputs were obtained at U

g
of 0.295 and 0.650 m/s, respectively. The findings confirmed that the mutual effects existed between the d

p
pressure profiles, and the type of flow regimes in the bed.
On modeling column crystallizers and a Hermite predictor–corrector scheme for a system of integro-differential equations
Authors: El Khaldi Khaldoun , Rabiei Nima , Saleeby Elias G.
Published: December 2021

Multistaged crystallization systems are used in the production of many chemicals. In this article, employing the population balance framework, we develop a model for a column crystallizer where particle agglomeration is a significant growth mechanism. The main part of the model can be reduced to a system of integrodifferential equations (IDEs) of the Volterra type. To solve this system simultaneously, we examine two numerical schemes that yield a direct method of solution and an implicit Runge–Kutta type method. Our numerical experiments show that the extension of a Hermite predictor–corrector method originally advanced in Khanh (1994) for a single IDE is effective in solving our model. The numerical method is presented for a generalization of the model which can be used to study and simulate a number of possible operating profiles of the column.

We present the intracavity generation of beams with radial polarization at an average output power of 750 W and an optical efficiency of 43% from a continuous wave thin-disk laser. Circular grating waveguide output couplers (GWOC) were used to select the radial polarization. The sensitivity of the polarizing function of the GWOC with regards to the fabrication tolerances is also analysed in details with a particular emphasis on the effect of the duty cycle and the geometrical profile of the gratings. Furthermore, we present the conversion of femtosecond laser pulses from linear to azimuthal polarization using a nanograting-based polarization converter. Azimuthally polarized beams with an average power of up to 850 W, a pulse duration of 400 fs and a pulse repetition rate of 1 MHz were generated in this way with a conversion efficiency of >90%.

Authors: Nadai Eva , Gonon Anna , Hübscher Robin , John Anna
Published: December 2021

Formale Qualifikation gilt als zentrale Voraussetzung für Beschäftigungsfähigkeit. Anhand von Erwerbsverläufen von gering qualifizierten Arbeitskräften in der Schweiz untersucht dieser Beitrag Beschäftigungsfähigkeit als dynamische Wechselwirkung zwischen Orientierungen und Erwerbshandeln des Subjekts und institutionellen Regulierungen und Praktiken von Betrieben, Branchen und Sozialstaat. Die Analyse beruht auf qualitativen Interviews mit Arbeitskräften, Betrieben und Personalvermittlern. Die Mehrheit der befragten Arbeitskräfte war ein- oder mehrmals arbeitslos, aber nur ein Drittel der Erwerbsverläufe war insgesamt prekär. Vielmehr waren stabile Verläufe am häufigsten, und es gab auch Aufstiegskarrieren. Branche, betriebliche Personalstrategien und außerberufliche Faktoren erwiesen sich als ebenso entscheidend für die Beschäftigungsfähigkeit wie individuelles Erwerbshandeln und Bildungsbemühungen.
Of Snails and Salvation
Authors: Finnegan Diarmid A.
Published: December 2021

The Christian missionary John Thomas Gulick (1832–1923) has long been recognized as an important evolutionary theorist. Most recently, his scientific contributions have been commended by biologists skeptical of the sufficiency of pan-adaptationist accounts of evolution. While Gulick’s scientific work has been noticed, his theological and metaphysical commitments have been largely dismissed, ignored, or downplayed. This paper argues that this not only marginalizes what for Gulick was of central importance but has also distorted historical accounts of his theory of evolution. In the portrait drawn here, Gulick’s understanding of evolution emerges as a significant example of the creative interplay between theological and evolutionary ideas and explanations in the early twentieth century. Gulick’s intellectual influences, his theological vision, and his opposition to fatalism combined to form a lifelong quest to understand both snails and salvation.

Published: December 2021

Konsep diri merupakan salah satu faktor non intelektual yang sangat penting dalam menentukan kemampuan atau cita-cita. Dalam berbagai pengamatan yang dilakukan, ternyata banyak individu yang mengalami kegagalan dalam mencapai cita-cita bukan disebabkan oleh tingkat intelegensi yang rendah atau keadaan fisik yang lemah, melainkan oleh adanya perasaan tidak mampu untuk melakukan tugas. Remaja dalam persiapan memasuki masa dewasa, dihadapkan pada tugas-tugas perkembangan yang berorientasi pada tugas kehidupan masa dewasa yaitu mencapai kemandirian emosional, memilih dan mempersiapkan karier, mengembangkan kemampuan dalam peran sosial. Oleh karena itu persepsi terhadap pekerjaan menjadi penting bagi remaja dalam persiapannya memasuki masa dewasa. Metode penelitian yang digunakan dalam mencapai tujuan pertama, kedua dan ketiga dari penelitian ini adalah angket dalam bentuk skala Likert, berskala 5. Jumlah responden : 50 remaja perempuan, 50 remaja laki-laki. Lokasi penelitian di Kecamatan Mijen Kodya Semarang. Sumber data adalah remaja usia antara 14 â€“ 17 tahun yang duduk di bangku SLTP.

Los frágiles ecosistemas de Canarias han sufrido una degradación paulatina desde su poblamiento, resultando en una enorme pérdida de especies vegetales y sus beneficios ecológicos. La reforma educativa en el archipiélago canario debe impulsar una revolución ambiental sobre la que construir una sociedad mucho más cohesionada y concienciada, con una mayor comprensión de los ritmos y equilibrios de la naturaleza. Ha de formar una ciudadanía con sentido crítico, capacitada para exigir medidas ecosociales ambiciosas y adaptadas a un territorio limitado como el nuestro, y también capaz de asumir su corresponsabilidad en pro del bien común. Para ello, además de acciones de conservación in situ y ex situ fundamentadas en la investigación científica, y la creación de más empleo verde, urge invertir en educación ambiental y sensibilización de la sociedad.

The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of heteroatoms on the deformation of graphene, as well as on the formation of the Stone-Wallace defect. To date, research on processes involving nanocarbon materials is relevant. In particular, in the formation of fullerenes, nanoonions and a number of other carbon nanoforms, the five-membered carbon cycles (pentactagonis) of the hepatogenesis (pentactagon) play the most important role in the curvature of initially flat graphene sheets and the formation of fullerene-like structures in the form of closed, skeletal, macromolecular formations. It should be noted, however, that the Pentagon is not the only factor in distorting the flat structure of graphene sheets in layered carbon materials. Some other defects of the carbon lattice (in particular, seven-membered carbon cycles and heteroatoms of a number of nonmetals with covalent radii exceeding the radius of the carbon atom) may play a similar role to one degree or another. These heteroatoms (primarily Si, P, S) are usually part of the precursors of mineral or vegetable origin and can be embedded in the carbon lattice in the process of coal production. Stone-Wallace there is their mutual compensation and preservation of a flat structure. The calculations were performed using quantum chemical modeling of doped nanographs in clusters of different size, composition and morphology, using the theory of density functional (DFT) with exchange-correlation functional B3LYP, based on the extended valence-split basis 6-31G (d) with full optimism clusters using the Firefly software package. It has been found that heteroatoms of non-metals with covalent radii exceeding the radius of the C atom, which are usually present in the precursors of mineral or vegetable origin used to produce pyrolyzed carbon materials, can play a significant role in energy. a number of nanoforms of carbon, activated carbon and other pyrolyzed nanostructured carbon materials.

Changing the geometric parameters of the elements of the organic solar cell (OSC) and its components, changes in its optical characteristics such as reflection, absorption and transmission of light were studied. In the simulation, the main elements influencing the change in the characteristics of the OSC were poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene): polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT: PSS), poly (3-hexylthiophene): [6,6] phenyl-C61butyric acid methyl ester (P3HT: PCBM) on silver nanoparticles. The dimensions of silver nanoparticles coincide with the thickness of the PEDOT layer (50 nm) in which they are located, the particle diameter is 45 nm, the thickness of the P3HT: PCBM layer has always remained equal to 100 nm. The peak at a wavelength of about 726 nm, when there are silver particles in the OSC, indicates the presence of localized surface plasmon resonance (LPPR), which causes a local amplification of the electromagnetic field near the surface of metal nanoparticles. LPPR induced by silver nanoparticles not only increases the degree of light absorption, but also enhances the degree of exciton dissociation. As a result, photocurrent and overall OSC efficiency can be significantly improved due to LPPR.

Based on the analysis of the spectra, it has been found that compounds of flavonoid nature, binding to cell membranes, change not in all cases the fluidity of membrane lipids depending on the cell type. Obviously, vascular tissue cells are a kind of "target cells" for these substances, i.e. there is a selectivity of flavonoids to certain tissues of organs. A particularly noticeable increase in the lipid fluidity of membranes was observed due to the addition of flavonoid glycosides - hyperoside, stachanoaceside and liquiritin to segments of venous tissue, which correlated with the high affinity of these substances to liposomes. The addition to the vessels of the metabolite quercetin - chalcone also led to a sharp increase in the lipid fluidity of cells of arterial and venous tissue, what suggests the presence of biological activity in flavonoid metabolites. One of the mechanisms of increasing the resistance of arterial and venous vessels under the action of flavonoid substances is an increase in the lipid fluidity of cell membranes of these vessels, which reduces the fragility of blood vessels and increases their flexibility and elasticity. The apparent contradiction between the rapid metabolism of many flavonoids in animals and the prolonged pharmacological action can be explained by the capability of their metabolites, such as chalcone, to increase the lipid fluidity of vascular cell membranes, changing their resistance to external influences. Reducing the fragility of the pulmonary vessels and increasing their flexibility and elasticity can have a positive effect on a human body in the fight against coronavirus.
