Published: October 2021

ABSTRACT Background: The use of a successful Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) in colorectal surgery favored its application in other organs, and hepatic resections were not excluded from this tendency. Some authors suggest that the laparoscopic approach is a central element to obtain better results. Aim: To compare the laparoscopic vs. open hepatic resections within an ERAS to evaluate if there are any differences between them. Methods: In a descriptive study 80 hepatic resections that were divided into two groups, regarding to whether they were submitted to laparoscopy or open surgery. Demographic data, those referring to the hepatectomy and the ERAS was analyzed. Results: Forty-seven resections were carried out in open surgery and the rest laparoscopically; in the first group there was only one conversion to open surgery. Of the total, 17 resections were major hepatectomies and in 18 simultaneous resections. There were no differences between procedures regarding hospital stay and number of complications. There was a greater adherence to the ERAS (p=0.046) and a faster ambulation (p=0.001) in the open surgery. Conclusion: The procedure, whether open or laparoscopically done in hepatic resections, does not seem to show differences in an ERAS evaluation.

Published: October 2021

Abstract The present work aims to constitute an important contribution to the scientific proof of the effectiveness of psychiatric and psychotherapeutic interventions, through the Rorschach test. A clinical sample of 10 psychiatric patients, admitted and followed at the Day Hospital of a psychiatric hospital in the North of Portugal, where the psychoanalytic orientation intervention model is followed. The data were collected in two moments: upon admission, a sociodemographic and clinical questionnaire and Rorschach's projective proof were applied; after three months of treatment, Rorschach was re-applied, followed by a survey of exclusion criteria and patient evaluation on the therapeutic program.The comparative analysis of the data showed a slight therapeutic evolution and personality functioning.

Published: October 2021

ABSTRACT: Comparisons between the nutritional quality of organic and conventional fresh foods are frequently reported in the literature; however, discussion about processed foods is less frequent. Therefore, this study compared the nutritional content of processed products from both production systems using a systematic review of the literature and meta-analysis, regarding aspects of raw material management and processing. The study reviewed scientific articles published between 2010 and 2020 and the data obtained were analyzed using the standardized mean difference method with Hedges’ adjustment and a random analytical model. Thirty-seven articles were selected, and the foods analyzed in the studies were grouped into five categories: meat products, dairy products, caught fish, wines, and fruit juices/pulps. In products of animal origin, the comparative focus shown was mainly that of the fatty acid profile, while in those of vegetable origin it was that of phytochemicals. Related to the comparison of nutrient contents, it was possible to verify the similarities in organic and conventional products in most studies; however, specific differences were verified (P < 0.05): organics contained more proteins (meat), omega 3 (dairy), and less linoleic acid (dairy and caught fish). Also, there were differences in the management of organic and conventional raw materials, and similarities in processing. Therefore, the choice for organic processed foods should not be made exclusively based on nutritional aspects, considering that the differences in nutrient contents in relation to those of conventional products are practically nonexistent.

Doing and being occupation centred in challenging settings: reflections on implementation strategies and professional rewards
Authors: Whiteford Gail Elizabeth , Jones Katherine , Weekes Gemma , Ndlovu Nomagugu , Long Cassandra
Published: October 2021

Abstract Introduction In order to centralise occupation in challenging settings, therapists need a supportive process and distinct strategies to assist them as they re-design and implement services which are truly occupation centred, based and focussed. Objectives The aim of this article is to illuminate the strategies utilised by a group of occupational therapists working to centralise occupation in a forensic mental health service in Australia. It also highlights the subsequent professional rewards they experienced from being more occupation centred in everyday practice. Method A Community of Practice Scholars was formed by participants. They then used a Practice Based Enquiry (PBE) approach – a type of action methods research - involving iterative cycles of data collection, analysis, critique and implementation of practice innovations. Results Seven major themes emerged from the study. The theme of Strategies in, and Rewards of, Occupation Centred Practice is the focus of this article, with inclusion of data from the theme of Communicating with Certainty. Additional themes are discussed through other, related publications. Conclusion This article highlights the process of moving beyond “knowing that” occupation centred practice is important, to “knowing how” to re-design an occupational therapy service to achieve this aim. Becoming more occupation centred in practice can be experienced as more professionally rewarding for occupational therapists, especially those working in challenging settings.

Abstract The present study attempted to evaluate the practical experience and methods employed by Brazilian veterinary practitioners for control of parasites. Twenty-one questions were asked of 403 veterinary practitioners based in different climatic zones with reference to parasite epidemiology from the country. Administration of a combination of drugs at three-month intervals was the most common regime recommended for prophylaxis against gastrointestinal helminths, with a single treatment repeated after 15 days. Routine prophylaxis against dog ectoparasites was recommended by 82.4% veterinary practitioners, and 46.6% changed the drug compound used. Monthly prophylaxic treatments for ectoparasites, using systemic, topical and/or collar-impregnated drugs, was recommended by 21.5% veterinary practitioners. Side-effects of ectoparasiticide-impregnated collars were suspected by 58% of the veterinary practitioners. Isoxazolines were the most frequently used chemical group to treat ectoparasites in dogs. Poor efficacy of fipronil in controlling ticks was suspected by 79.5% of the veterinary practitioners. The isoxazolines and combination of anthelmintic compounds are the most common drugs to prevent or treat ectoparasites and gastrointestinal nematodes, respectively. The suspect of the inefficacy of antiparasitic drugs is shared among the veterinary practitioners from part of Brazil. Guidelines are needed, specifically for the control of gastrointestinal helminths and ectoparasites in Brazilian dogs.

Contribución de las cooperativas agrarias al desarrollo territorial en Uruguay
Authors: Rodriguez Miranda Adrian
Published: October 2021

Este trabajo tiene como objetivo explorar la relación entre cooperativismo agrario y desarrollo territorial en Uruguay. Se presenta un marco conceptual que argumenta sobre los importantes puntos de encuentro que existen entre ambos enfoques, utilizando como nexo la noción de desarrollo endógeno, asociada a la construcción de capacidades locales. La metodología consiste en un análisis descriptivo y exploratorio, con perspectiva histórica. Las fuentes de información son de tipo bibliográfica y documental, información secundaria disponible y entrevistas a informantes calificados. Se busca describir y comprender cómo el cooperativismo agrario ha contribuido al desarrollo territorial rural en Uruguay. Primero se analiza la historia y evolución del movimiento cooperativo uruguayo, para luego profundizar en el cooperativismo agrario, sus orígenes, casos más representativos y evolución. Los resultados muestran una contribución positiva de las cooperativas agrarias al desarrollo territorial, en buena medida apuntaladas por la política pública. Las cooperativas permiten la vinculación competitiva del territorio con los mercados internacionales pero protegiendo a los sistemas productivos locales de ser absorbidos y diluidos dentro del esquema del capital transnacional. A su vez, favorecen capacidades endógenas de innovación y la construcción de capital social local y redes que son la base para las estrategias locales de desarrollo.

Neurological and Neuropsychiatric Diseases through the Lens of Roman Sculpture
Authors: Fadda Salvatore
Published: October 2021

Roman sculpture has often given the impression that it provides such a precise simulacrum of the bodies of ancient Romans that their portraits can be studied autoptically as if they were a patient. Specialists in medicine and art-history have studied Roman sculptures to the point of producing real medical diagnoses, generating a research niche which, while controversial, has led to some interesting discoveries. However, scholars had sometimes misunderstood certain elements of ancient sculptures, interpreting aesthetic choices as clinical signs. In this article several portraits from the Republican period to the Tetrarchic age will be observed, to assess if the diagnoses made on them are due to actual physical features of the individuals portrayed or not. This article analyses the strengths and weaknesses of the study of ancient pathologies through Roman sculpture to delineate the limits and the possibilities of such an approach.

A proteção sociojurídica aos refugiados no Brasil: da legislação à política pública
Authors: Schwinn Simone Andrea , Freitas Priscila de
Published: October 2021

As migrações entre diferentes países se perdem no tempo. O refúgio, instituto cujas raízes remontam ao direito ao asilo, é um fenômeno não tão antigo a cada vez mais atual. Este fenômeno apresenta muitas implicações, tanto para os refugiados que deixam seus países e suas referências e sofrem para se adaptar a uma nova cultura, quanto para os países que os recebem, que, ou não tem uma política definida para a inserção desta população ou tem políticas insuficientes, que não abarcam a complexidade da situação. É disto que trata o presente trabalho: do direito humano ao refúgio, o direito à uma vida digna longe da violência, da perseguição por origem, raça, crença, pertencimento a um determinado grupo social. O Brasil conta com um instrumental jurídico, baseado em tratados e princípios internacionais, inseridos em nosso ordenamento jurídico constitucional e infraconstitucional. Mas é preciso repensar a política migratória e com ela, as políticas públicas para esta população tão vulnerável. É um processo de aprendizado e amadurecimento democrático e institucional, necessário a um país multicultural.
Por que retraduzir? Um estudo do caso de 1984 de George Orwell
Authors: Antunes Maria Alice Gonçalves
Published: October 2021

Este artigo examina os fatores que contribuíram para que 1984 alcançasse o número inaudito de 10 (dez) retraduções em português (brasileiro) no início do ano de 2021. Através da análise das razões discutidas por teóricos contemporâneos para compreender a publicação de retraduções, interpretamos as razões que movem a retradução de uma obra vista como clássica. Nossa análise concentra-se nos paratextos: prefácios de tradutores, nas apresentações escritas por pessoas escolhidas por editores para escrever sobre a obra, sobre o autor, sobre a tradução ou sobre o projeto tradutório; e nos debates promovidos por editoras e transmitidos via YouTube que procuram promover a retradução de 1984. O estudo do caso, metodologia adotada, requer análise detalhada em especial por ser este um caso inaudito e singular, uma unidade particular e complexa. Os resultados indicam que há relação entre as causas que motivam as retraduções. Entretanto, a relação fortuita entre duas causas se sobrepõe às demais: o fato de que o autor caiu em domínio público propicia o investimento em paratextos e brindes elaborados e enfatiza a exploração comercial e econômica da associação de 1984 ao momento político vivido pela sociedade brasileira e, por que não dizer, mundial.

Organización de la calidad del cuidado en una familia con un padre soltero y gay
Authors: Malagón Arias Jessica Karime , Salinas-Quiroz Fernando
Published: October 2021

El objetivo de esta investigación fue analizar, desde una perspectiva de género, la calidad del cuidado que un padre soltero y gay ofrece a su hijo al recuperar sus experiencias, percepciones y dificultades. Participó un padre, soltero por elección y gay, con un hijo de un año y nueve meses de edad. Se realizó una entrevista semiestructurada y para la interpretación de los datos se siguieron los criterios propuestos para el análisis temático. Los resultados de este trabajo indican que el participante se encuentra inmerso en el modelo social de masculinidad hegemónica, así como beneficiado por los privilegios que el patriarcado otorga a los varones; sin embargo, dicho modelo también lo lleva a vivir con temor inevitable por los estereotipos y prejuicios de la sociedad como consecuencia de la conformación de su familia. La calidad del cuidado no es exclusiva de un sólo género, pues esta depende de tiempo, disponibilidad, accesibilidad, paciencia, la correcta lectura de las señales del niño, así como la autoconsciencia del adulto, por lo que esta es aprendida a partir de las experiencias y percepciones del cuidador y no responde a la maternidad biológica exclusivamente.
The Vulnerabilities of Trusted Notifier-Models in Russia: The Case of Netoscope
Authors: Sivetc Liudmila , Wijermars Mariëlle
Published: October 2021

Current digital ecosystems are shaped by platformisation, algorithmic recommender systems, and news personalisation. These (algorithmic) infrastructures influence online news dissemination and therefore necessitate a reconceptualisation of how online media control is or may be exercised in states with restricted media freedom. Indeed, the degree of media plurality and journalistic independence becomes irrelevant when reporting is available but difficult to access; for example, if the websites of media outlets are not indexed or recommended by the search engines, news aggregators, or social media platforms that function as algorithmic gatekeepers. Research approaches to media control need to be broadened because authoritarian governments are increasingly adopting policies that govern the internet through its infrastructure; the power they leverage against private infrastructure owners yields more effective—and less easily perceptible—control over online content dissemination. Zooming in on the use of trusted notifier-models to counter online harms in Russia, we examine the Netoscope project (a database of Russian domain names suspected of malware, botnet, or phishing activities) in which federal censor Roskomnadzor cooperates with, e.g., Yandex (that downranks listed domains in search results), Kaspersky, and foreign partners. Based on publicly available reports, media coverage, and semi-structured interviews, the article analyses the degree of influence, control, and oversight of Netoscope’s participating partners over the database and its applications. We argue that, in the absence of effective legal safeguards and transparency requirements, the politicised nature of internet infrastructure makes the trusted notifier-model vulnerable to abuse in authoritarian states.
Implementation of creative projects in the conditions of digitalization of educational environment
Authors: Protsenko Elena G.
Published: October 2021

In this paper, the problem of digitalization of the educational environment is actualized. In this regard, the basic concepts of the problem under consideration have been clarified. The author analyzes the digitalization process, factors in the development of the digital educational process, didactic principles of digital pedagogy, the use of an interdisciplinary approach in higher education. The hypothesis of the research is that the use of such a method as a creative project in the learning process contributes to an increase in the level of digital culture of students, the formation of creative thinking and creativity, flexibility and the ability to make decisions in the face of constant changes. The organization of creative projects on digital platforms will diversify the professional training of students. The main problems of this paper are related to the fact that, despite the existing methods of forming a digital culture, the level of its formation remains extremely low. Not all modern teaching methods serve the needs of the learner. The paper presents one of the possible solutions to the problem presented on the example of the methodology for conducting classes in the developed courses of disciplines Recreational geography, Recreational resource studies, Resortology, Art history: Cinema history with students majoring in social and cultural activities. The features of the organization of classes, the implementation of practical tasks by students, the variety of forms, methods and means of teaching are presented. The work emphasizes the importance of organizing conditions for creative activity in the context of digitalization of the educational environment.
Students ‘view on distance education
Authors: Maksimyuk Elena V.
Published: October 2021

The paper analyzes the results of an associative experiment conducted with second-year students (SibADI, Omsk) in the fall of 2020 with the aim of assessing the experience of the mass introduction of distance learning technologies, assessing the receptive reactions of students, identifying the degree of emotional comfort of learning during a pandemic, the difficulties they had to be faced, their sources and the degree of recurrence. The results of the study became the basis for the development of methodological recommendations in order to increase the degree of effectiveness of the educational process in a distance format.
The introduction reveals the essence of the concept of distance education, its goals and objectives at different stages in different countries. A number of advantages provided by the distance learning format and its relevance in the modern world are highlighted.
The results of the experiment showed that not all students are psychologically ready for a sharp transition to distance learning. The wide public resonance aroused increased interest in researching the problems that have arisen in this educational sphere.
The associative experiment took place in two stages. The first question was aimed at identifying the preferences of the form of education of full-time students. The question was: What form of education do you prefer full-time or distance learning? The responses ratio was 70:30. Seventy percent of the surveyed respondents preferred full-time education, the rest distance learning. In the second part, they were invited to take part in an associative experiment to reconstruct a fragment of the national linguistic picture of the world in a certain historical period. Through an associative experiment, we were able to identify and analyze the psychoemotional assessment of the components and their frequency within the modified concept of distance education; practical recommendations of a didactic nature were proposed for reducing negative connotations and removing psychological barriers in the process of distance learning.
The phenomenon of laziness as a risk factor of high school students' fascination with gadgets
Authors: Sunnatova Ranno I.
Published: October 2021

In the study presented in the paper, the term passion for computer games and viewing social networks is used as a predictor of computer addiction and, which is not legally defined as addiction, but its blocking effect on the educational activity and productivity of schoolchildren can be stated. The study was carried out in accordance with the ecopsychological model of the formation of subjectivity from the subject of perception to the subject of productive development. The aim was to study the possible links between the passion for computer games and social networks, and such a state of personality, which in everyday consciousness is defined as laziness of schoolchildren. In accordance with the understanding of the formation of subjectivity (the subject of productive development) in the ecopsychological model, the key condition is human activity. We suggested that the lack of activity or passivity of students in grades 8-11 may be a condition for the emergence of excessive enthusiasm for computer games and viewing social networks. Two authors methods were used: Personal characteristics as predictors of abnormal behavior and Laziness or unwillingness to learn, the creation of which is associated with the need to study the intrapersonal causes of passivity or lack of activity in educational activities or the phenomenon of learning laziness in students. The hypotheses are confirmed by the fact that Spearmans correlation coefficients were obtained, showing statistically significant links between computer and social media involvement with all the identified causes of laziness, namely: reduced learning motivation, lack of self-confidence, attitudes that everything does not depend on me, so there is nothing to try, poor health, lack of conscious self-regulation, dissatisfaction with the attitude of teachers. Spearman coefficients from .326 to .421 at p 0.001. In general, the results obtained confirm the theoretical validity of the developed methods and show the validity of their use for psychological and pedagogical support for the development and formation of subjectivity of high school students.
Psychosemantic approach as the basis for the algorithmization technology of processing educational information
Authors: Tsupikova Elena V. , Tsyguleva Margarita V.
Published: October 2021

An ability to improve the professional level, need for self-development and self education is called to be one of the essential qualities of a modern specialist irrespective of the professional sphere. Such an activity requires intellectual and psychological mobility, wish to obtain and process huge amount of new and complex information, ability to apply new knowledge to correct and modify the existing system of experience and activity. In the evolution of the information society, self-development and self education are at the top of the soft skills list; therefore formation of a new thinking style is becoming the most important task of teaching. The aim of the paper is to present an argument for introducing some elements of algorithmization of work with student texts based on the psychosemantic approach. Semantic principles (matching of logical and linguistic categories, considering the text from the inner and outer speech, considering the text as cognitive and communicative essence; differentiation between the meaning and sense as between the semantics of the outer speech and the semantics of thinking; identification of semantic relationships between information elements, etc.), psychological and pedagogical principles (self-reflection support of learning activity; self-motivation due to determining usefulness and applicability of information; self-organization of students while creating their own algorithms of learning activity, etc.), and psycholinguistic principles (building logical supporting schemes, analogues of universal subject codes; semantic evaluation of the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of information, etc.)of work with scientific and educational profession-oriented information are described and correlated with the learning content and mechanisms of students verbal and cognitive activity. Psycholinguistic, semantic and organizational competences are identified, with a set of knowledge, skills and abilities for each of them being defined. The authors suggest a technology of algorithmization of students work with the professionally-oriented text information on the basis of a psychosemantic approach. The purpose of the algorithmization is to accelerate students work and improve the quality of information acquisition.
Assessing universal competencies of students of non-linguistic specialties
Authors: Drobotenko Yulia B. , Nazarova Natalia A.
Published: October 2021

The rapidly developing labor reality requires a modern specialist to be ready for rapid adaptation in the professional space, mobility within the labor market and constant self-improvement. The training of such specialists at the university aims at the formation of both highly professional and flexible (universal) competencies that provide the ability to think systematically, critically assess problem situations and search for a variety of resources for solving professional problems. Universal competencies are represented by eight groups which suppose that University training in its basic part should be identical at all university levels of education and for all areas and specialties. And it is grounded on the principles of universalism. The purpose of the paper is to present the concept of universal competencies in a meaningful and structural way and to determine the possibilities of the case-testing method in their evaluation. The research methodology is based on the principles of flexibility and variability applied to research process organization, practice-oriented principles of the results of research procedures. It is focused on a holistic, reflexive-analytical and methodological-instructive presentation of the results of diagnostics that reflect the development of universal competencies. The following research methods are used: theoretical analysis and content analysis of normative documents that describe the structure of universal competence and determine the contribution of the discipline Foreign Language to the development of this type of competence among students of non-linguistic specialties; generalization of Russian and foreign experience in assessing competencies to identify the best practices for diagnosing their development; analysis of current and interim control test-tasks designed to evaluate universal competencies that can be found in the OmSPU evaluation funds; interviewing teachers of the Department of Foreign Languages (interfaculty chair) of OmSPU that aims at showing the advantages and disadvantages of case-testing in assessing the universal competencies of students of non-linguistic specialties. As a result of the research, a model evaluation case is going to be designed and the recommendations for University teachers how to use it in their work will be given. The scientific novelty of the research includes the ideas developing a universal approach to the University training as well as the ideas enriching a competence-based approach how to organize and evaluate universal competencies. The practical significance is seen in the possibility of using the materials of the paper to improve the funds of evaluation tools for the discipline Foreign Language; developing an educational module for advanced training courses.

A Atenção Básica é a porta de entrada preferencial para os serviços de saúde e tem a capacidade de coordenar o cuidado dos usuários sob responsabilidade das Estratégias Saúde da Família. Os Ambulatórios são caracterizados como postos integrantes dos serviços de urgências e devem estar preparados para atender as demandas que necessitam de avaliação rápida e estabilização do quadro agudo. Objetivou-se investigar as demandas de atendimentos de saúde sensíveis à atenção básica apresentadas por usuários de um ambulatório da cidade de Mato Verde, Minas Gerais, Brasil. Trata-se de um estudo descritivo e exploratório de natureza qualitativa. Os dados foram coletados entre agosto e setembro de 2019, com 15 usuários submetidos a entrevista semiestruturada e analisados mediante Análise do Conteúdo. Os resultados mostraram que os participantes tinham entre 20 e 63 anos de idade, eram casados, pardos, possuíam ensino médio completo e renda mensal bruta de R$ 998,00. Relataram procurar a Unidade Básica de Saúde quando apresentaram algum sinal ou sintoma e para a renovação de receitas médicas. Procuraram atendimento no Ambulatório devido à necessidade de agendamento prévio para atendimento na Atenção Básica e em virtude da manifestação de sintomas associados a problemas de saúde que parecem não se caracterizarem como atendimentos de urgência ou emergência. Conclui-se que a migração de usuários para atendimento no Ambulatório sem que sua demanda caracterize situação de urgência ou emergência representa um problema que parece cultural nessa população e também na gestão. Tais achados indicam que este estudo possa oferecer subsídios aos profissionais de saúde, bem como aos gestores na implementação de estratégias para corrigir lacunas assistenciais, sensibilizar a população a procurar o nível de atendimento adequado a sua necessidade, para melhorar o acesso e a resolutividade dos serviços de saúde.
Saskatchewan-Ukraine Relationships in Education: History, Current State, and Prospects
Authors: Zakharchuk Nataliia
Published: October 2021

For the last decade, the internationalization of higher education became a priority for both the Canadian province of Saskatchewan and Ukraine. Having historically strong ties, these two parties attempt to build equally strong educational relations. By analyzing educational partnerships and collaborations between the post-secondary institutions in Saskatchewan and Ukraine, the paper examines the history, nature, and development of the Saskatchewan-Ukraine relationships in higher education. The author analyses the case of the Saskatchewan-Ukraine cooperation in higher education by examining documents related to the Saskatchewan-Ukraine relations, those outlining Canadian federal and provincial policy initiatives, and Ukrainian state legislature. The paper also discusses the Saskatchewan-Ukraine educational cooperation as it is promoted on the websites of the universities involved in such cooperation. The author investigates different internship programs and initiatives between two Saskatchewan universities – the University of Regina and the University of Saskatchewan, and three Ukrainian public universities – Yuriy Fedkovych Chernivtsi National University, Ivano-Frankivsk National Technical University of Oil and Gas, and Ternopil Volodymyr Hnatiuk National Pedagogical University. The document analysis provides information of three major categories: the history of the Saskatchewan-Ukraine relations, the current state of such relationships in education, and the prospects of the Saskatchewan-Ukraine educational cooperation. Regardless of the strong governmental support of the Saskatchewan-Ukraine relationships in education, several challenges to the relationships appear in the light of the current political-economic contexts. The paper discusses these challenges and suggests recommendations for developing further Saskatchewan-Ukraine cooperation in the educational field.
The Internal Inspection Institution in Disciplinary Proceedings against Public Officers
Authors: Leshchina E. L.
Published: October 2021

The paper is devoted to the concept, purpose, types of inspections carried out concerning the facts of violation of discipline and legality in the system of public service of the Russian Federation. Ensuring the legitimate rights and interests of the public officer in respect of whom the inspection is carried out, the decision on the possibility or impossibility of imposing a disciplinary sanction depends on the completeness, timeliness, correctness, legality, objectivity of the inspection. The author analyzes the normative acts and the approaches to the definition of an official inspection that exist in the legal literature. On the basis of the analysis, the author defines the concept. The author argues that from the point of view of the content of the stages of law enforcement and the types and content of the stages of the law enforcement jurisdictional process, an official inspection completely fits into the stage of initiating a disciplinary case, acts as one of its possible stages, along with other forms of clarification and investigation of the circumstances of a disciplinary case. The paper concludes that, in the generally accepted sense, the term “official inspection” in the system of the civil service of the Russian Federation most fully characterizes the purpose, content and possible procedure for actions concerning the facts of committing disciplinary violations and other events requiring examination and analysis. The author proposes to use the term “official inspection” in a uniform manner to unify the verification actions carried out in connection with the commission of a disciplinary offence by public officers of the Russian Federation. This approach makes it possible to streamline the organization and conduct of official inspections for various types of public officers.

This study was aimed to evaluate a new realtime nucleic acid sequence-based amplification (NASBA-Real- Time) assay for diagnosis of urogenital Chlamydia trachomatis infection. A total of 193 patients aged 16 to 42 (mean age, 22,8 years) were examined, with most of them having symptoms of urogenital infection. Cervical and urethral swabs from women and men, respectively, were investigated with the use of cell culture method, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and NASBA- Real-Time. C. trachomatis infection was diagnosed in 29 patients (15 %): in 21 patients - by all the three methods, whereas 8 samples were culture negative. Sensitivity of PCR and NASBA- Real-Time methods were 100 %, cell culture method - 78,4 %. Negative predictive value of PCR and NASBA-Real-Time was found to be 100 %, and that of cell culture - 95,3 %. Specificity as well as positive predictive values of all the three methods equaled 100%. Thus, the new real-time NASBA-Real-Time assay was shown to be a very sensitive and specific test, which can be recommended as a confirmatory method for diagnosis of urogenital chlamydial infection.

Reproductive health implies the right of men and women to the information and access to the safe, effective, affordable and acceptable methods of family planning and other methods of birth control that do not contradict the law, and the right to access appropriate health services, which allow a woman to have a safe pregnancy and childbirth, give the parents the best opportunity to give birth to a healthy baby.Review objective: to analyses of reproductive health of the Ukrainian female population, coverage of the problems and finding the ways to solve them in the context of medical reform in Ukraine. Materials and methods. The materials were international and Ukrainian documents on this problem, the research methods were bibliosemantic, statistical and structural logical analysis. Results. The national family planning system in Ukraine has been specially developed according to the world model, the results of which are aimed at the formation of safe sexual behavior among the population, the interest in maintaining and improving personal health and the foundations of responsible fatherhood. This system has become the basis for the formation of the reproductive function of the younger generation and the preservation of reproductive health in the future. The extremely positive changes that have taken place in recent years are currently taking a negative trend, which indicates a failure in the system of maternal and child health and indicates the need to improve organizational and clinical technologies. Despite the positive changes in the organization of perinatal care, the health problems of pregnant women, which are factors in maternal and child health, remain quite complex.Conclusion. In Ukraine, compared to the leading countries of the world, there is a low level of reproductive health of the female population, which can negatively affect the process of reproduction of the population. This situation requires the development of measures to further influence the factors of reproductive health disorders at the state, sectoral and inter-sectoral levels, and their effective implementation in the activities of health care institutions in the context of administrative and medical reform.
A circulação das ka’aguy heté reguá no litoral do Rio Grande do Sul: as criações naturais originárias de uso comum e a complementariedade entre aldeias Mbya Guarani

Published: October 2021

O modo de ser e viver Guarani está diretamente interligado ao manejo das espécies vegetais, em especial às sementes, e espécies animais, cujos usos revelam outras lógicas de interagir e usufruir desses recursos, ao visualizarem, por meio de múltiplas dimensões, a co-existência entre  todos os seres. Esta cosmo-ecologia considera que as ka’aguy heté reguá (criações naturais originárias) de uso comum são uma dádiva divina, acarretando em regras culturais de uso que permitem a manutenção das espécies e o acesso a todos os Guarani. Neste contexto, o estudo, por meio de pesquisa etnográfica, analisou as ka’aguy heté reguá, suas condições de acesso, usos e fluxos em uma porção do Yvy rupá (território originário) situada no litoral do Rio Grande do Sul. As criações naturais que se destacam nesta porção do Yvy Rupá são nove, além das sementes. As tekoá estão situadas em uma região de transição entre o Planalto, onde ocorre o manejo da ka’a (erva-mate), o kuri’y (pinhão), tregüem (xaxim), takua’i, (taquara-mansa), ygary (cedro), e a Planície Costeira do Rio Grande do Sul, onde ocorre o kapi’i reimbé (capim santa-fé), pindó (jerivá), jata’i (butiá), passando pelas encostas, onde é manejado o kurupika’y (pau-leiteiro), jejy (juçara) e mantida as ma’ety (plantações naturais – sementes originárias). Cada tekoá compõe um pequeno fragmento desta porção do Yvy Rupá, resguardando alguma das ka’aguy heté reguá, acessada por todos, mobilizando o constante movimento. Dessa forma, as trocas mútuas e contínuas destas criações naturais tecem laços fortes de reciprocidade interaldeã, abrangendo dimensões permeadas de sentidos espirituais e cosmo-ecológicos.
Insulin-like Growth Factor and its Therapeutic Potential for Diabetes Complications Mechanisms and Metabolic Links: A Review
Authors: Biadgo Belete , Tamir Workineh , Ambachew Sintayehu
Published: October 2021

BACKGROUND: The insulin-like growth factor (IGF) system is an important system in normal physiological functioning of the body. In diabetes mellitus, alterations of IGF-binding protein (IGFBP) levels have been described, mainly in vascular complications. AIM: The aim
of this review was to explore the role of the IGF system in reducing diabetes complications and its role as potential therapeutic target. RESULTS: IGF-1 plays a role in neuronal growth and developmental processes. Low concentrations of IGF-1 have been associated with neuropathy and
other diabetes complications. Moreover, impaired IGF synthesis and function may result in cellular senescence and impaired vascular endothelial proliferation, adhesion, and integration. Of note, high IGF-1 bioavailability may prevent or delay the inception of diabetes-associated complications
in diabetes patients. The mechanism of normal functioning IGF-1 is induced by increasing nitric oxide synthesis and potassium ion channel opening in cardiovascular physiology, which improves impaired small blood vessel function and reduces the occurrence of diabetes complications associated
with reduced concentrations of IGF-1. CONCLUSIONS: IGF may be considered an alternative therapy for diabetes and diabetes-associated complications. Therefore, future studies should focus on the mechanism of action and therapeutic potential of IGFs in reducing the risk of development
and progression of the disease in different clinical settings.
