Published: June 2022

ABSTRACT: Objective: To estimate the potential years of life lost (PYLL) to cancer in the State of Mato Grosso, from 2000 to 2019, stratified by sex, according to age groups and cancer types. Methods: It is a quantitative study with an ecological approach developed from secondary data, using the PYLL and its derivatives. Results: In the period analyzed, deaths from cancer in Mato Grosso resulted in 680,338 PYLL before the age of 80, with a variation of 82.5%. Of this total, 52.7% were assigned to males. The rate of the PYLL for cancer before the age of 60 was 70.9% in males, and 80.1% among women. The rates of PYLL increased in the period and showed slightly higher values in males. In the analysis according to age group, the rates of PYLL were also higher in males, except between the ages of 30 and 49. Lung cancers and lymphomas/leukemias resulted in greater losses of PYLL among men and female specific cancers (breast, cervical and uterine, and ovarian cancer) accounted for 36.26% of the PYLL among women, with variability per age groups. Conclusion: In Mato Grosso, the PYLL indicator for cancer presented unfavorable evolution between 2000 and 2019, with greater damage for males and for the younger population. Leukemias, lymphomas, and lung and breast cancers were the main causes for the PYLL.
A insólita presença de Lovecraft no cinema brasileiro: apropriações expressivas nos anos 1970 e 2010
Authors: Reis Filho Lucio , Schvarzman Sheila
Published: June 2022

Resumo H. P. Lovecraft (1890-1937), escritor norte-americano de horror e ficção científica, foi publicado pela primeira vez no Brasil nos anos 1960. Na década seguinte, o cinema brasileiro se apropriaria de seu trabalho pela primeira vez, de forma tímida. No novo milênio, particularmente nos anos 2010, Lovecraft alcançou o pico de sua popularidade no país, com diversos cineastas independentes se apropriando de sua obra. Considerando esse fenômeno cultural significativo, abordaremos neste artigo adaptações, alusões à sua obra, bem como o diálogo de filmes brasileiros com as narrativas do escritor.

Das negações à imagem às afirmações de si – Das arestas entre auto/ biografias/ficções como gesto reflexivo em Isto não é um filme
Authors: Andrade Márcio
Published: June 2022

Resumo Dirigido por Jafar Panahi e Mojtaba Mirtahmasb, Isto não é um filme (2011) é uma obra produzida inteiramente em um apartamento e retrata um dia na vida de Panahi enquanto cumpre prisão domiciliar sentenciada pelo governo iraniano. O cineasta dilui as fronteiras entre documentário e ficção ao interpretar uma versão de si a partir das limitações estéticas impostas por uma condição de censura e negação à imagem. Nesse movimento, ele coloca a própria subjetividade em um jogo que combina a reflexividade do “novo cinema iraniano” (MELEIRO, 2008; SADR, 2006; TAPPER, 2006) com um gesto de insurgência política contra seus repressores. Neste artigo, analisa-se como as dimensões de subjetividade (TAYLOR, 1997; ROLNIK, 2018) e reflexividade (GIDDENS, 2002; RUBY, 1996) e dos atos autobiográfico (LEJEUNE, 2014; LANE, 2002) autoficcional (DOUBROVSKY, 1977; COLONNA, 2004) se atravessam e se confrontam nesse filme. Com base na análise, busca-se compreender como a escrita de si, nesse filme, tensiona realidades e ficções, corpo e imagem, negações e afirmações em torno da imagem, do si e da imagem de si.

Authors: Zlatoff Nicolas , Michel Lise , Chaperon Danielle
Published: June 2022

RESUMO A interpretação em cena: transformar um laboratório em espetáculo – Este artigo analisa um dispositivo de performance que mostra uma equipe - atores, dramaturgos e um diretor - trabalhando no Cid de Corneille a fim de tornar visível, para um público, o processo de pensamento do ator no momento em que ele escolhe sua atuação. Interprétation. L’Amour fou du théâtre era um espetáculo baseado em uma técnica proveniente da análise-ação e mostrava a interação entre a análise semântica e a atuação. O presente estudo permitiu constatar que embora esse dispositivo não seja capaz de revelar todo o mecanismo de pensamento em um trabalho sobre um texto, ele torna observável o processo de apropriação do significado baseado em reflexões, discussões e discordâncias entre dramaturgos, atores, diretores e personagens fictícios.

Authors: Lima Valéria Vernaschi , Ribeiro Eliana Claudia de Otero
Published: June 2022

This theoretical investigation presents the dialogic approach to competence, its principles, and methods for the construction of professional profiles. Unlike conceptions that focus on isolated elements of competence, the dialogic approach is based on an integrative framework and proposes areas of competence that characterize core and field in professional practice. This approach recognizes the existence of different views on professional competence that must be analyzed and discussed. A set of strategies, devices, and methods capable of triangulating these views and systematizing professional activities is presented. The competent profile, built as a meta point of view, translates contextualized combinations of knowledge, skills, attitudes, and values that express excellence in professional performance, with a view to training, certification, and continuing education of health professionals. The text analyzes the coherence between practices systematized in the way proposed here and the development of entrustable professional activities.

Published: June 2022

RESUMO O presente trabalho tem como objetivo investigar os significados e as vivências em relação aos espaços públicos e privados de um grupo de jovens moradores de regiões periféricas durante a pandemia de COVID-19. A teoria fundamentada nos dados foi utilizada para analisar de maneira qualitativa as entrevistas semiestruturadas realizadas com sete jovens. O desamparo diante da falta do Estado, a estigmatização da periferia que despotencializa a vida e vivências comunitárias como contrapontos de cuidado são temas que representam os resultados da investigação. A epistemologia psicodramática pode ser ferramenta relevante para análises críticas da desigualdade social, desvelando seus processos injustos. O psicodrama pode ser um saber que afirma a coletividade e a vida comunitária, servindo como contraponto ao ideário neoliberal vigente.

RESUMO Os ditiocarbamatos são os fungicidas mais utilizados e mais detectados em alimentos no Brasil. Este estudo teve como objetivos analisar os níveis de resíduos de ditiocarbamatos em hortaliças produzidas na região de Vargem Bonita, Distrito Federal, e comparar os níveis encontrados com os limites máximos de resíduos (LMR) estabelecidos para esses alimentos. Foram coletadas 84 amostras de diferentes tipos de hortaliças diretamente de 23 produtores no período de junho a novembro de 2018. As análises foram realizadas utilizando o método espectrofotométrico, que determina o nível de CS2 produzido pela degradação em meio ácido do ditiocarbamato presente na amostra. No total, 21 amostras (25%) continham resíduos de ditiocarbamatos acima do Limite de Quantificação do método (LOQ, 0,05 mg/kg CS2). Cinco das 27 amostras de alface analisadas (18,5%) continham resíduos, com níveis de 0,06 a 0,50 mg/kg de CS2, abaixo do LMR para essa cultura. Resíduos também foram encontrados em amostras de salsa, coentro e chicória, em níveis de 0,09 ou 0,10 mg/kg CS2, culturas para as quais não existe registro de uso de ditiocarbamatos no Brasil. Amostras de rúcula, cebolinha, alho poró e agrião, que também não possuem registro para ditiocarbamatos, deram resultado positivo, porém essas culturas são conhecidas por fornecerem resultados falso positivos para CS2, e a ilegalidade dos resíduos não pode ser confirmada. Esse estudo mostrou o uso adequado de ditiocarbamatos em hortaliças por agricultores da Vargem Bonita, com exceção de salsa, coentro e chicória, culturas com número limitado de pesticidas registrados, o que, provavelmente, tenha sido a razão do uso ilegal dos ditiocarbamatos.
A implementação do Pronatec e as implicações na política de educação profissional: o prescrito e o efetivado
Authors: Silva Danilma de Medeiros , Moura Dante Henrique
Published: June 2022

Resumo O estudo se refere à implementação do Programa Nacional de Acesso ao Ensino Técnico e ao Emprego (Pronatec), criado pela Lei n° 12.513/2011, com os objetivos declarados de expandir e interiorizar a política de educação profissional e tecnológica, estimular a articulação dessa política com as políticas de geração de emprego e ampliar as oportunidades educacionais dos trabalhadores. O programa também se propôs a melhorar a qualidade do ensino médio. Para cumprir esses objetivos, o Pronatec oferta cursos de formação inicial e continuada de trabalhadores (FIC) e cursos técnicos concomitantes. Para investigar o cumprimento dos objetivos do programa e elucidar as implicações dessa implementação, desenvolveu-se uma avaliação de processo com dados de 2011 a 2017. Constatou-se, no recorte temporal investigado, a trajetória do Pronatec em três momentos: o primeiro, que vai da criação do programa em 2011 às eleições presidenciais de 2014, no qual se destaca a significativa ampliação da oferta e a contribuição à função de legitimação do Estado capitalista com a oferta majoritária dos cursos FIC; o segundo concretizado após a reeleição da presidenta Dilma Vana Rousseff até o impeachment (2015-2016), em que se percebe o declínio na oferta do programa; e o terceiro momento, a partir de 2017, em que a ênfase se coloca nos cursos técnicos como base para a implementação da Reforma do Ensino médio. Nesse momento, observa-se que o Estado vem contribuindo sobremaneira para a acumulação capitalista. Assim, consolida-se um maior acirramento da dualidade estrutural da educação na trajetória atual do programa.

Technologies of collective intelligence in the management of business processes of an organization
Authors: Slavin Boris
Published: June 2022

With the digitalization of the economy, the creative component of an organization’s activities increases. Standard business process management methods stop working due to the rise in uncertainty of the task solution time. Currently, there are no effective technologies for managing intellectual activity processes in organizations. The role of collective intelligence technologies for knowledge management in organizations has long been discussed in the literature, but there are still no concrete proposals on implementation. This work aims to show how collective technologies can solve the problems of managing business processes of intellectual activity. The possibility of collective intelligence technologies for increasing labor productivity is demonstrated. Models for distributing tasks by competencies and synergy from collaboration are proposed for this demonstration. The paper shows that competencies are the primary metric that can be used to measure work with knowledge in an organization. But they should also be considered when organizing group activities. A simple model example shows that the correct distribution of tasks by competencies allows you to increase the speed of solving tasks by a group by several times. In real cases, calculations using computing resources are necessary. A model is also proposed that demonstrates increasing the joint activity of a creative employee and an analyst. It is shown that business process management should be supplemented by mapping the competence model and group work options to the stages of business processes. This will allow you to manage the business processes of intellectual activity.
A Review of Multimedia Usage in Embryology Education
Authors: Abas Razif
Published: June 2022

Embryology, which is a part of anatomy curriculum, is well known to be most difficult to teach. Applied embryology is important in medical practice especially in obstetrics and gynecology. To support teaching embryology, a few multimedia methods have been introduced for the past twenty years, such as animations, two-dimensional illustrations, three-dimensional illustrations, movies, and video. Innovative anatomy teaching and learning technology, particularly in the embryology syllabus, dramatically boosts students’ understanding and interest while also indirectly simplifies anatomists’ job. Students are excited to be able to visualize the embryo changes at any gestational age from fertilization to fetus development. Students’ motivation is increased, and their comprehension and memorization are improved. In this review, we elaborate on the details of multimedia methods used for embryology teaching and learning as an alternative to traditional lectures and tutorials. The variety of approaches aids in reducing boredom and maintaining high levels of concentration. As a result, the multimedia usage is useful for long-term memorization.
SEPCS: Prolonging Stability Period of Wireless Sensor Networks using Compressive Sensing
Authors: Omar Dina , Khedr Ahmed
Published: June 2022

Compressive sensing (CS) is an emerging theory thatis based on the fact that a small number of linear projections of asparse data contains enough information for reconstruction. CScan break through the asymmetry between the data acquisitionand information processing that makes a great challenge to therestriction energy and computation consumption of the sensornodes. In this paper, we propose a routing protocol called SEPCSfor clustered wireless sensor networks (WSNs) using CS. SEPCScombines a new clustering strategy with CS theory for prolongingstability period and network lifetime in WSNs. Our simulationresults show that the proposed protocol can effectively prolongthe stability period and network lifetime compared with existingprotocols.

Dragon Nest is one of Massively Multiplayer Online Role-playing Game (MMORPG online games. It has become the most popular online game played by people around the world. This work observes two examples of the MMORPG online games: the Dragon Nest INA and the Legend DN II. The purpose is to analyze the traffic data of the Dragon Nest to find and discern the patterns of behavior of the Dragon Nest INA and the Legend DN II using Deep Packet Inspection (DPI).  A dataset is constructed by capturing traffic data from the testbed environment. Then feature extraction, feature selection, and visualization are performed during the experiments. Experiment results shows the traffic data of the Dragon Nest INA is higher than the Legend DN II. It is because of the difference in the number of entries in the game. Then, the Bloom filter method is used as a tool to check the existence of a pattern of the Dragon Nest in the dataset. The false positive rate of matching is 0.399576%.

Published: June 2022

The security of sensitive data obtained from a patient has not been implemented properly because of energy issues of sensor nodes in Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) and constrained resources such as computational power and low battery life. The main of this paper is to enhance the security level of data transmission between patient and health service provider by considering the availability of energy at sensor nodes. The proposed system consists of a hybrid Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) and Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC), which provides simple, fast and high cryptographic strength of data security. ECC is used for securing AES encryption keys, and AES algorithm is used for encrypting/decrypting text. A scenario where sensor nodes are continuously supplied energy from solar power is considered and based upon the energy availability; respective encryption technique is implemented. The result shows that the proposed EEHEE algorithm increases the encryption of the data file by more than 19% compared to the State of Art's solution. The proposed EEHEE system is 11% faster in encrypting data file and reduces the energy consumption by 34 % compared to the current best solution.  The proposed system concentrates on reducing the energy consumption in WBAN and increasing cryptographic strength to the system by using the hybrid symmetric and asymmetric algorithm. Thus, this study provides an efficient scheme to enhance security for real-time data transmission in telemedicine.

Authors: Alba Felomino Porras , Festijo Enrique D , Medina Ruji P
Published: June 2022

Nodal delay in wireless sensor network is an indisputable factor in the medium of communication. Factor such as changeability of communication devices, network topologies, packet-sizes, and transmission rate demands to develop data-mule queue scheduling technique. Our proposed data-mule scheduling technique accomplish this through simulations using standard software written in C# by controlling data-mule schedules that collects data from all the nodes connected to the hop. The scheme identifies the hierarchical positions of static source nodes and the distance of mobile source nodes from the hop with rescheduling based on the newly acquired distances. Source nodes applied with data-mule scheduling technique resulted to lower nodal delay. Transmission of packet-data is efficiently and effectively improved.

Published: June 2022

Software testing is the main step of detecting the faults in Software through executing it. Therefore, it is substantial to predict the faults that may happen while executing the software to maintain the existence of the software. There are different techniques of artificial intelligence that are utilized to predict future defects. The Machine learning is one of the most significant technique that used to build predicting models. In this paper, conducted a systematic review of the supervised machine learning techniques which are used for software defect prediction and evaluated the performance. Thus, using five state-of-the-art supervised machine learning (classifiers), for the evaluation, several of the data are used to predict software fault. In addition to, compared the performance of these classifiers with various parameters. After that, proceeds many experiments to improve the efficiency of the prediction of the defect through modifying the default parameters of the classifier. The results showed the ability of supervised machine learning algorithms to classify classes as bugs or not bugs. Thus, using supervised machine learning models for predicting software bugs is better than the traditional statistical models. Additionally, using PCA never noticeable impact on prediction systems performance while modifying the default parameters positively impact classifier values, especially with Artificial Neural Network (ANN).The main finding of this paper is gained through the application of Ensemble Learning methods, whereas Bagging achieves 95.1% accuracy with Mozilla dataset and Voting achieves 93.79% accuracy with kc1 dataset.
Load Balancing Using Dynamic Ant Colony System Based Fault Tolerance in Grid Computing
Authors: Bukhari Saufi , Ku-Mahamud Ku Ruhana , Morino Hiroaki
Published: June 2022

Load balancing is often disregarded when implementing fault tolerance capability in grid computing. Effective load balancing ensures that a fair amount of load is assigned to each resource, based on its fitness rather than assigning a majority of tasks to the most fitting resources. Proper load balancing in a fault tolerance system would also reduce the bottleneck at the most fit resources and increase utilization of other resources. This paper presents a fault tolerance algorithm based on ant colony system, that considers load balancing based on resource fitness with resubmission and checkpoint technique, to improve fault tolerance capability in grid computing. Experimental results indicated that the proposed fault tolerance algorithm has better execution time, throughput, makespan, latency, load balancing and success rate.

Published: June 2022

Security is one of the key concerns in cloud computing. We are proposing Virtual Wireless Sensor Network (vWSN) which is one of the key features of cloud computing in the area of agriculture. Our main focuses are effective and secure vWSN in virtualized cloud computing environment with enhanced security to detect environmental monitoring, humidity monitoring, soil moisture, air quality (pollution) monitoring, insect monitoring, pest and disease control, which is based on virtualization and cloud computing technology, centrally managed device having flexible and configurable parameter with less maintenance and operational cost. To the best of our knowledge, vWSN is the first approach to agriculture based on extensional WSN information. WSN contains both control plane (signaling) and data plane (forwarding) coupled together.WSN is a specific purpose computer containing hardware whose main components are memory, CPU, IO, registers, Data and address bus, timer, sensor, computing logic and decision making logic. WSN is a physical device which needs to be placed in the field in certain topology (Ring, mesh, tree, star) which may need to be protected for damage and erosion due to various parameter including but not limited to physical theft, damage due to weather, animal and various other reason. In this paper our approach is to propose virtualized model to replace physical wireless sensor network (WSN) to virtual machine (VM) based vWSN which can be deployed on the cloud. Since security is one of the major concern for VM in cloud computing therefore we also proposed the enhanced 3-tier security model for vWSN.
Features of components N2 and P300 of auditory evoked potential dependent on the level of internet addiction in adolescents
Authors: Krivonogova Elena V. , Krivonogova Olga V. , Poskotinova Lilia V.
Published: June 2022

INTRODUCTION: Due to the popularization of digital technologies, people have begun to spend more time on the internet. Existing studies show mixed results about the impact of internet use on attention, cognitive control, and other cognitive functions.
AIM: To evaluate the components of the event-related potentials (ERPs) P300 and N2 in practically healthy adolescents aged 1617 years with varying levels of internet addiction risk and a stable pattern of internet addiction (IA).
MATERIAL AND METHODS: The study involved healthy young people aged 1617 years old who attended Simferopol city school.The Chen Internet addiction scale was used to access the level of IА in the Russian version of V.L. Malygin and K.A. Feklisov. The registration of the ERPs P300 and N2 components was carried out with the use of an electroencephalograph Neuron-Spectrum-4/VPM (Neurosoft, Russia). An auditory oddball paradigm was used.
RESULTS: In young men, no differences in the N2 and P300 latency were observed across the groups. There was an elongation of the N2 latency in the frontal and central regions of the brain in girls with a proclivity for IА, indicating a slower primary identification and classification of stimuli. In girls with a stable pattern of IА, there was an increase in the N2 latency in the central, left frontal, and right medial temporal regions, as well as an increase in the P300 latency in the frontal, central, and parietal right parts of the brain, compared to girls with minimal risk of IА, indicating the need for more time to identify the stimulus and make a decision.
CONCLUSIONS: An increase in the N2 latency has already been reported in girls with a proclivity for IА, which can be used to predict the development of IА and for prevention.
Comparative Assessment of the Results of Different Techniques of Carotid Bifurcation Reconstruction
Authors: Beloyartsev Dmitry F.
Published: June 2022

INTRODUCTION: Nowadays, to restore the patency of the carotid artery bifurcation in atherosclerotic stenoses, three main methods of reconstruction are used, namely, classic carotid endarterectomy (cCEAE), prosthetic repair of the internal carotid artery, and eversion carotid endarterectomy (eCEAE). The study conducted a comparative analysis of the immediate and long-term results of using these methods in the case of stenosis of the carotid artery bifurcation. CONCLUSION: As regards the immediate results, the analysis of literature does not permit allow making an unambiguous conclusion about the evident advantages of a particular method of intervention. Thus, several authors obtained better results with the use of eCEAE, whereas others did not find any significant differences between eCEAE and cCEAE, if it was not a question about using a straight seam, and this can be referred to both meta-analyses and original studies. Regarding the long-term results, practically all literary sources indicate more optimal results with the use of the eversion technique. The results of the analysis imply the preference for eCEAE if the character of the lesion of the carotid bifurcation and anatomical interrelations in the surgical wound allow it.

The active involvement of citizens in preventive measures and an increase in the availability of medical examinations are vectors in increasing the coverage of the population. One of the mechanisms for increasing availability is the use of "lean" technologies, which was realized in the Ryazan region as part of the project "Optimization of the Medical Examination Process".
AIM: To evaluate the optimization of the medical examination of the adult population in the Ryazan region through the use of "lean" technologies.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The project was implemented based on a multidisciplinary clinical hospital with high planned tasks for the coverage of the adult population indicated for medical examination. In the implementation of the project, problems in the organization of the medical examination of the adult population were identified, maps of the current state and the target state were compiled, solutions to each identified problem were proposed, and a 4-month schedule of measures was made.
RESULTS: The evaluation of the effectiveness of the project "Optimization of the Medical Examination Process" using "lean" technologies reduced the patient stay in the clinic by 1.7 times in the first stage of the medical examination and reduced the duration of this stage from 5 to 1.5 days. In the second stage, the total patient stay in the clinic was reduced two times, and the duration of this stage was reduced from 8 to 2 days. The throughput capacity of the pre-medical reception room of the medical prevention department increased from 48 to 100 people per day with a two-shift working schedule, which permitted fulfilling the planned annual tasks for medical examination by 100.0%.
CONCLUSION: The successful experience of the introduction of the "lean" production principles in the medical examination of the adult population demonstrated increased effectiveness and availability of preventive measures for the population in the region.

INTRODUCTION: Venous thromboembolic complications (VTEC) such as deep and subcutaneous vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism are the most important clinical problems in many specialties. High-risk factors for thrombus formation include surgical interventions leading to the activation of the hemostatic system. Despite the existing international and Russian clinical recommendations on the treatment and prophylaxis of VTEC containing a detailed description of the methods and algorithms of prophylaxis in patients with different nosologies including patients with polymorbidities, the incidence of VTEC remains high. In the scientific community, there is a continuing discussion of the effectiveness of various approaches to VTEC prophylaxis in different clinical groups of patients. Algorithms available prescribe anticoagulants at standard doses and combinations. However, in patients with comorbidities, isolated conservative anticoagulant therapy may be insufficient for effective VTEC prophylaxis.
CONCLUSION: Currently, there is a need to improve the algorithms of VTEC prophylaxis in patients with comorbid pathologies to elaborate clear indications for the use of both pharmacological and mechanical prevention methods and their combinations.

INTRODUCTION: The development and progression of atherosclerosis in different vascular pools remain unclear. Many studies have considered apoptosis to play a key role in the development of atherosclerosis; apoptosis is a programmed cell death with characteristic morphological signs aimed at providing homeostasis in an organism in general and in the vascular wall in particular. However, all studies that have been devoted to markers of apoptosis were mostly experimental and were conducted on either animals or grown cultures of different cells. The study aimed to examine markers of apoptosis (р53, sFas, Вах, and Всl-2) and proliferation (platelet-derived growth factor [PDGF] BB) in the vessel wall in the area of an atherosclerotic lesion in a patient with multifocal atherosclerosis. The clinical case was of interest because it allowed the assessment of biomarkers in both the area of progression of atherosclerotic lesion on an operated limb and the carotid pool in the long-term postoperative period.
CONCLUSIONS: This case demonstrated that a patient with obliterating atherosclerosis of the lower limb arteries had an elevated level of pro-apoptotic markers р53 and Вах and PDGF ВВ as a marker of cell proliferation and migration, against the background reduced level of anti-apoptotic markers Всl-2 and sFas in comparison with their values in the normal arterial wall. The progression of atherosclerotic lesion in two vascular pools was associated with a further increase in the values of proapoptotic markers (р53 and Вах) and decrease in the values of Всl-2 and sFas compared with the initial samples. With this, the values of PDGF ВВ marker remained elevated relative to the initial level.

INTRODUCTION: In the long-term course of traumatic spinal cord disease (TSCD), neuroplastic adaptive and maladaptive changes occurred on different structural levels of the nervous system, which leads to a shift in the activation and strength characteristics of the limb muscles. The standard neurological assessment is approximate; therefore, objective instrumental studies of the motor sphere of patients with partial damage to the cervical spinal cord have not lost their significance.
AIM: To study the activation and strength characteristics of the limb muscles of patients with partial injury of the cervical spinal cord in the long-term course of the disease (type B on the American Spinal Cord Injury Association (ASIA) scale).
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study enrolled 28 patients with fractures of the cervical spinal cord vertebrae in the late period of the TSCD of ASIA type B. The amplitude of motor responses (M-responses) of the upper and lower limbs was assessed using electroneuromyography. The strength of the upper limb muscles was evaluated using manual dynamometers.
RESULTS: M-responses were absent in 9% and 64% in the upper and lower limbs, respectively. The amplitude of the most recorded M-responses of the upper and lower limb muscles was reduced relative to the norm. The reduction was not uniform, with significant differences in different leads. The average values of the amplitude asymmetry of M-responses did not exceed the norm. Moreover, 61% of the patients could perform hand-grip functions and hold the wrist dynamometer. Only 59% of the patients could make an effort and the results of strength measurement were obtained, whereas in 41% of cases, zero values were obtained. Statistical analyses revealed a clear relationship between the motor deficiency index of the upper limb and hand-grip strength.
CONCLUSION: The degree of preservation of M-responses and evident asymmetry of evoked electrical activities of the upper and lower limb muscles indicate the existence of a certain level of neurotrophic interaction in the muscle fibermotor neuron system. The level of reduction of the hand-grip strength and its relationship with the motor deficiency index allows discussion about the partial preservation of the voluntary control of the motor function of the upper limbs.

INTRODUCTION: The current burden of circulatory diseases on the health care system, both at the federal and territorial levels, and its projected growth make it necessary to develop a network of healthcare organizations, playing a key role in ensuring the accessibility and quality of medical assistance to the population. The Russian Federation approved the national project "Health Care", which includes eight federal projects, including the project "Control of Cardiovascular Diseases". The reduction of the mortality rate from circulatory system diseases to 450 per 100,000 of the population by 2024 is a priority goal. The National Plan of Action for the Elimination of Child Labor has been adopted. Its achievement depends largely on the availability of affordable health care.
AIM: To assess the accessibility of medical assistance to patients with circulatory system diseases in Voronezh according to the main characteristics of the total number of medical organizations providing medical care in ambulatory and in-patient conditions.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Analytical and statistical methods of research were used in the analysis.
RESULTS: Between 2011 and 2019, the number of hospital organizations in Voronezh decreased by 8.3%, which is related to structural and functional changes in the number of beds, as reflected in a reduction, and the association of medical organizations. The number of medical organizations providing outpatient care has also been reduced from 176 to 119, or by 32.4%. During the study period, a decrease was noted in the number of beds and number of days of operation per year and increase in the rate of turnover of beds in cardiology, therapy, and neurology.
CONCLUSION: Increasing the accessibility of medical care to patients with circulatory system diseases considering its organizational component is aimed at building in-house organizational and informational cooperation between cardiologists and primary care physicians and specialized health care.
Improving Visual Attention with Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation in Individuals with Right Parietal Disorders due to Stroke

Right parietal lobe lesions can result in deficits to visual attention and disorders such as visuospatial neglect. Previous research has used low-frequency, inhibitory repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) in the contralesional parietal lobe to improve visual attention based on the theory of hemispheric rivalry. However, few studies have examined the effect of high-frequency, excitatory rTMS in the ipsilesional parietal lobe, another method of improving visual attention and potentially restoring the balance of inhibition. The aim of the current study was to compare the effect of low- and high-frequency rTMS in both the right and left hemispheres to examine what parameters are effective in improving visual attention and to inform our understanding of the neural mechanism underlying visual attention. To examine this, 10 healthy individuals participated in five different rTMS conditions on different days. They completed a visual attention task (Posner Task) before and after stimulation. There was no significant difference in reaction times or accuracy for trials in the left visual field following any of the rTMS conditions. However, there was a trend in which reaction times were slower in the left visual field during the left low-frequency rTMS condition. Taken together, our results did not support the theory of hemispheric rivalry, possibly suggesting that this theory may not be able to fully explain the mechanism underlying visual attention in healthy individuals. Despite limitations such as small sample size and lack of a stroke group, the current study raises several important theoretical considerations, such as whether hemispheric rivalry may be an appropriate model for individuals with stroke but not healthy individuals, and whether it may apply to certain aspects of visuospatial neglect. Further research is needed to evaluate whether there is a different model that may better characterize the mechanism underlying visual attention, which could potentially improve our approach to rehabilitation of visuospatial neglect using rTMS.

The Women, Infants, and Children Program, or WIC, is a benefits program with special characteristics that make it vulnerable to potential price-gouging by retailers. In Chapter 1 I review existing literature on WIC and explore future opportunities for contributions. In Chapter 2 I carry out a research design to identify if such price-gouging is taking place using retail scanner data, and I do not find evidence for it. I also study cigarette tax policy to determine whether the pass-through rate of cigarette taxes depends on nicotine content. I find that this does not appear to be the case, which has implications for future policy regulating the nicotine content of cigarettes.
