Introduction. Thirty six years after the Chernobyl disaster about 5 million people live in the radioactively contaminated territories of Ukraine, Belarus and Russia, and the density of radioactive contamination, determined mainly by long-lived Cesium-137 and Strontium-90, will remain radiologically significant for several decades. Purpose of the study. Based on official statistics for 2000-2020, to analyze the trend in the incidence of cervical cancer in females living in conditions of radioactive, chemical, and combined environmental contamination in the Bryansk region. Materials and methods. Poisson regression, Shapiro-Wilk test, Mann-Whitney U-test, Spearman test. Data sources - Bryansk Regional Oncological Dispensary, Rospotrebnadzor, Rostekhnadzor, Bryanskstat. Results. There were no statistically significant differences in the incidence of the cervical cancer, regardless of the level of radioactive, chemical, and combined environmental contamination. Also, we have found no significant correlations between the frequency of primary morbidity of the cervical cancer with neither the density of 137Cs and 90Sr contamination, nor air pollution with gaseous pollutants (VOCs, SO2, CO and NOx). A statistically significant (p<0.00001) gain in the long-term trend in the incidence of the cervical cancer over 2000-2019 was revealed in all the studied groups, regardless of the environmental conditions of the residence. The forecast for the incidence of the cervical cancer on average in the Bryansk region during 2020 shows a decrease by 20.7% in real values compared to the forecast data. Limitations. Incidence of the cervical cancer without regard to age groups, distribution at the stage of the disease, histological, and immunohistochemical profile. Conclusion. The obtained results indicate to the need for further work to understand the trends in the presence/absence of independent and combined effects of pollutants on the growth of oncogynecological pathology from the standpoint of assessing distant and regional metastasis, the histological, and immunohistichemical profile of a specific cervical cancer with levels of radioactive, chemical, and combined environmental contamination.

Introduction. Fountains (office and outdoor), being small decorative structures used to improve the parameters of the human life environment, in the process of their work during the generation of a water jet, determine the creation of spray and aerosol fractions, thereby allowing the loss of a certain volume of liquid when air moves and wind carryover. The biological safety of the operation of such hydraulic structures depends on the composition of the microflora of the water in the main reservoir of the fountain, especially in the warm season. Materials and methods. For the period 2010-2020, the study of the composition of the microflora of water in the main reservoirs of the existing fountains and in the sedimented spray-aerosol mixture formed during the operation of these hydraulic structures was carried out. Results. At water temperatures above +18 °C and the absence of a disinfection system or its regular complete replacement, fountains were found to have a significant level of contamination with bacterial and fungal pathogens, including mycobacterium tuberculosis; the number of microorganisms of the E. coli group in office and open city fountains. The amount of Clostridial flora and streptococci in open fountains significantly exceeds the standard indicators (p <0.05). Limitations. When studying the trends in concentration of liquid particles in the air, the methodology of K.Y. Kondratiev et al. (1988) and V.M. Khvata et al. (1991) was used. The studies were carried out in accordance with the Interstate standard “Water. Methods of sanitary and bacteriological analysis for field conditions” GOST 24849-2014, 2016. Conclusion. The microflora of the operating fountain, in the absence of disinfection of water or its regular replacement, is characterized by a high titer of bacteria of the E. coli group, streptococci, staphylococci, mycobacterium tuberculosis, mold and yeast fungi. The one of the conditions for the excessive growth of these microorganisms in this hydraulic system is the water temperature above 18 °C. In the sedimented aerosol near the active fountain, a bacterial and fungal spectrum of pathogenic microorganisms similar to the water is found. Fountains (external and office) can be considered as sources of aerogenic household infection of the population of modern cities, which requires strict adherence to sanitary norms and rules that ensure the biological safety of these hydraulic structures.

Published: February 2023

Cadmium (Cd) is one of the most toxic trace elements. The most important sources of Cd contamination by burning fossil fuels as coal or oil and incineration of urban waste, including plastics and nickel-cadmium batteries. In all countries these sources make Cd contamination an important health issue worldwide. Cd can enter the body through smoking tobacco, eating and drinking food and water polluted with Cd, and breathong. Cd concentration in human hair, nails and blood is considered as an indicator of environmental pollution. However, there is little systemized information on Cd concentration in human tissues in Russia. This is a systematic review following PRISMA guidelines. We performed a systematic search and qualitative synthesis of scientific literature on Cd concentrations in hair across Russia between 2011 and 2021. PubMed and e-library were the main sources of scientific information in English and Russian, respectively. Initial search returned 1202 matches. Twenty-nine papers remained for qualitative synthesis after screening and eligibility analysis. Studies on Cd concentrations were performed in only 19 of 85 federal subjects (22.4%). No heterogeneity was observed in sample preparation while methods of laboratory analysis varied between the settings and included inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, atomic absorption spectrometry, and inversion voltammetry. The sample sizes ranged from 12 to 5908 individuals. The average Cd concentrations varied from 0.010 mg/kg to 0.164 mg/kg. The greatest concentrations of Cd were reported from Sibai in the Orenburg Region (0.164 mg/kg), in indigenous people of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug (0.15 mg/kg) and in residents of the Arctic part of the Sakha Republic (0.14 mg/kg); The maximum values on the abovementioned regions were 7.02 mg/kg, 0.52 mg/kg, and 0.51 mg/kg. High maximum concentrations were also found in the Republic of Bashkortostan (0,9 mg/kg) and in Yaroslavl (0,37 mg/kg). Conclusion. Data on Cd concentrations in human hair from 66 federal subjects are still needed for mapping of Cd concentration in Russia. Further data collection should be performed using representative and sufficient sample samples while presentation of the results should contain detailed information on methods of data collection and analysis to ensure reproducibility and comparability of the findings.

Authors: Konshina Lidiya G.
Published: February 2023

Introduction. Due to the long-term radioactive contamination of the part of the territory of the Chelyabinsk region, much attention is paid to the analysis of the health status of the population. One of the adverse effects of radiation is the occurrence of neoplasms. As a result of a number of emergency situations, digestive organs received one of the largest doses of the radiation. Materials and methods. The study of the adult mortality in four districts: Argayashsky, Kaslinsky, Krasnoarmeysky, Kunashaksky was performed over a 50-year period from 1947 to 1996. The following age groups were studied: 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, 70 and older. Results. An increase in the mortality of adult male and female population from malignant neoplasms of the esophagus, stomach, intestines and “other and unspecified digestive, and peritoneal organs” was found. The greatest differences with the control in all localities, except for malignant neoplasms of the intestine, were observed from the beginning of the 1950s to the end of the 1960s. The peak of mortality from bowel cancer occurs in the 1970s-1980s. Districts differ in the level and trend in mortality: the maximum and earliest gain in mortality was observed in villages located along the river Techa of Argayash and Krasnoarmeysky districts. A later and less pronounced increase in indicators in the Kasli and Kunashak districts is associated with uncontrolled atmospheric emissions in the initial period of the plant’s operation, then the consequences of the 1957 accident and the spread of radioactive dust in 1967. In the Kunashak district, the increase in mortality is of a short-term nature. The main increase in indicators falls on the population over 50 years. Limitations. The study period is limited to 1996 due to the fact that it was not possible to collect more recent data. Conclusion. The adult mortality rate from malignant neoplasms of the digestive organs in four rural areas: Argayashsky, Krasnoarmeysky, Kaslinsky, Kunashaksky significantly exceeds the control indicators. The territories differ significantly in levels and trends in mortality, the highest values were found in the Krasnoarmeysky and Argayashsky districts.

Published: February 2023

Introduction. An urgent task of school hygiene is to increase the developmental, preventive and health-improving effectiveness of physical education (PhE), taking into account the peculiarities of the lifestyle and body development of children of different genders. Materials and methods. Non-randomized controlled studies were performed in a natural hygienic experiment with the participation of 265 children with a traditional management (TM), partially (GDM-1) and completely (GDM-2) gender-differentiated PhE management. Anthropometric and functional indicators were measured, data on physical fitness and the psycho-emotional state of children were analyzed. Results. The values of vital capacity of lungs, Shtange’s test and strength of hands’ muscles increased during the school year by 24.8% (p<0.001), 33.6% (p<0.001) and 48.8% (p<0.001), respectively, in groups PM-1 and GDM-2. There was a tendency to decrease in the proportion of boys with excess body weight by 8.9% (p>0.05), the static-kinetic stability increased up by 1.3 times (p<0.001) with GDM-2. The greatest increase in static balance occurred in boys with TM-1 up to 1.7 times (p<0.001), and in girls with GDM-2 up to 1.65 times (p<0.001). The results of the tests of the VFSK TRP are higher with GDM-2 than with TM in “30 m run” up by 1.92 times, “Long jump from a place with a push with two legs” up by 2.38 times, “Pulling up from a hang on a high bar” up to 5.18 times, “Pulling up from a hang lying on a low bar” up to 3.29 times. The proportion of boys with a comfortable psycho-emotional state decreased with TM and GDM-1 and unchanged with GDM-2. Limitations. The criteria for including children in the study were age 7-10 years, I-II health groups, basic and preparatory medical groups for PhE. Conclusion. The gender-differentiated approach increases the hygienic effectiveness of the PhE by ensuring that the management of PhE lessons corresponds to the peculiarities of the functional state of the body, physical development and physical fitness of children.

Published: February 2023

Introduction. There is evaluated the content of seventeen elements in local agricultural and natural foodstuffs of the 30-km zone of influence of the Beloyarsk NPP, located in the industrially developed area of the Sverdlovsk region. Materials and methods. The study was conducted in 2013 and 2019 in the private sector of 27 settlements, 20 collective farms and forests of the 30-km zone around the Beloyarsk NPP, and a cooling reservoir. In crop products (grain, potatoes, roots, vegetables), animal husbandry (milk, meat, poultry) and natural foods (mushrooms, berries, fish) the content of Pb, Zn, Cd, As, Hg, Mo, Cu, Ni, Co, Cr, Sb, Sr, Mn, V, W, Ba and Fe was estimated. Elements in the samples were detected by atomic absorption and plasma emission methods of analysis. The results obtained for the most toxic Pb, Cd, As and Hg were compared with sanitary-hygienic standards (SanPiN 2.3.2.1078-01). Results. The trend in the content of heavy metals and arsenic in local foodstuffs before and after the commissioning of the BN-800 reactor is presented. The types of foods with the maximum accumulation of pollutants are identified. In the majority of local foodstuffs in the vicinity of the Beloyarsk NPP there was shown no risk of exceeding the sanitary-hygienic standards for the content of the most toxic elements. An excess of SanPiN standards was noted for arsenic content in 10-30% of grain samples, for cadmium in 15-20% of wild berry samples. Limitations. The content of toxicants was assessed in the main groups of local agricultural and natural foods available during the sampling period, and expanding the list of analyzed products and the number of elements may be the subject of further research. Conclusion. The assessment of the safety of foodstuffs in the vicinity of the Beloyarsk NPP showed that the operation of the BN-600 and BN-800 reactors doesn’t significantly affect the increase in the content of toxic elements in locally produced foods, and the accumulation of pollutants in them is determined by long-term emissions of industrial enterprises of Sverdlovsk region.

Published: February 2023

The review article provides information on a common sweetener - xylitol, ranging from methods of production and purification, to metabolism in the body and practical applications in medicine and other industries. Considering some prejudice with which xylitol is treated in the Russian Federation, safety of use and low prevalence, it was decided to consider the relevance of use in medicine and related industries, affecting the effectiveness of use as one of the preventive measures in diseases of dental caries. Literature search: according to the Scopus, CyberLeninka, PubMed databases, selective, analytical-synthetic, typological. Xylitol is a polyhydric sugar alcohol; it is found in small amounts in fruits and vegetables. For industrial production, xylitol can be obtained by chemical and biotechnological methods. Chemical production is financially costly mainly due to the complex product purification process. In biotechnological production, agricultural and vegetable raw materials are used as raw materials, which makes it possible to reduce the cost of production and its energy intensity. The safety of xylitol has been well studied by the international community since the late 70s and it is included in various WHO recommendations, numerous studies confirm the safety of use during the metabolic processes of the body. Conclusion. Xylitol is used in at least three industries, namely in food (dietary, confectionery, chewing gum), pharmaceutical (xylitol properties are relevant in the production of nasal sprays, syrups, in combination with other medicines) and in dentistry due to its anti-caries effect, suppression growth of pathogenic microflora of the oral cavity and participation in the remineralization of hard tissues of the tooth. In addition, it is actively used among diabetics.

Introduction. In recent years, the UTCI bioclimatic index has been used to assess the impact of climatic conditions on health. Goal is an assessment of the morbidity in persons of an organized team in the Arctic to determine the health risk when working in an open area. Materials and methods. According to the data of temperature, wind speed, relative air humidity on Dikson Island and Cape Chelyuskin the UTCI indices were calculated for 2009-2019. The health risk was assessed by the degrees of cold stress. We retrospectively estimated the prevalence of diseases, including primary morbidity, in 25-45 years persons over 2015-2020 by general and by classes of diseases. Results. In terms of severity, cold risk was characterized from severe to extreme stress. According to the prevalence of diseases, 76.5% of the total population accounted for 6 classes of diseases according to ICD-10 included respiratory, genitourinary, endocrine systems, nutrition disorders and metabolic disorders, musculoskeletal system and connective tissue, digestive organs, circulatory system. In the structure of morbidity according to primary appeal, 79.5% according to ICD-10 accounted for diseases of the respiratory system, genitourinary system, musculoskeletal system and connective tissue, injuries and ear diseases. During long-term observation in the prevalence of diseases, the incidence of injuries increased, according to primary data - diseases associated with mental disorders, damage to the nervous system, skin diseases and diseases of the subcutaneous tissue, injuries. Limitations. The results obtained require verification in age-standardized cohorts; in various gender groups and groups working in organized and unorganized teams, as well as in various internship groups. Conclusion. According to UTCI, health risk in the Arctic was assessed as cold stress including severe (3-4 months), very severe (2-3 months) and extreme (5-6 months). Morbidity for current classes of diseases indicates both the impact of the climate of the Arctic on the health of people in an organized team, and working conditions.

Introduction. Biomedical assessment of the quality of life (QOL) is a methodological tool that allows identifying the degree of human adaptation to changing functional states and environmental factors. For the first time we tried to analyze the population’s QOL in post-war conditions. Methods and materials. The study was managed within the framework of scientific project over 2021-2022 (a year after the end of the military events in the region), one hundred eighty Nagorno-Karabakh 16 to 60 years residents of both genders have been tested using a modified version of SF-36 questionnaire. Results. The average values of the population’s QOL indicators for the SF-36 questionnaire scales varies from 59.5 (the vital activity and mental health) to 84.2 points (physical functioning). Gender-age features of the QOL level declined the role-playing emotional functioning in females and a diminished the values of general health, vitality and social functioning by the second adulthood. Having grouped all the scales into two indicators - the physical (PH) and mental (MH) components of health, the latter turned out to be lower than the values of the separate components of these elements. In general, the entire population had a low level of MH (43.7 points), compared with PH (49.7 points). Limitations. The study has age (youthful and middle), regional (Nagorno-Karabakh) and temporary (at the present stage) limitations. Conclusion. The obtained regional population QOL standards in the post-war conditions can be designated as the phenomenon of Nagorno-Karabakh, which can serve as a scientific and practical basis for further research.

Published: February 2023

A strong nursing workforce is integral to quality healthcare. Nursing is an important aspect of healthcare outcomes and plays a critical role in patient safety. Nursing students are key to ensuring an adequate pipeline of nursing professionals. An exploratory cross-sectional online survey was conducted with a convenience sample of 158 students in nurse education programs leading to a Bachelor’s Degree in New York State. The current study sought to identify the motivation to pursue a career in nursing, including a career as a Registered Nurse (RN). Personal motivators (primarily the desire to help others) ranked as the main reason for choosing the profession (60.1%). Employment motivators (including job, benefits and monetary reasons) ranked second (26.8%), and Lifestyle motivators (including hours and schedules) ranked third (13.1%). Statistical analysis revealed consistent priorities regarding primary motivators across subgroups of nursing students. Results also indicated that students who have their RN license while pursuing a Bachelor’s Degree are a unique subset of students in nursing programs. Each of the following findings were significant at p < 0.001: Nursing students enrolled in a Bachelor’s Degree program who already hold an RN license are more likely to; be over 30 years of age, attend school part-time, attend fully online classes (pre-pandemic mode), already have an Associate’s Degree in Nursing and attend a public university. Understanding the motivations of students in nursing programs can inform both academia and employers to recruit and retain future nursing professionals.

Authors: Akinwamide T. K. Ekiti , Oguntade F. M.
Published: February 2023

Purpose: This study investigated the effects of Think-Pair-Share (TPS) strategy and the Conventional method on students’ performance and attitude to essay writing in senior secondary schools in Ondo State.

Methodology: The study adopted a quasi-experimental pre-test post-test two-group design as well as a descriptive survey-type design. The population for the study comprised all the public Senior Secondary School (SSS) III students of the 2021/2022 Session in Ondo State. The sample for this study was 65 SSS III students that were selected purposively. The two instruments used for this study are Essay Writing Attitudinal Scale and Students’ Socio-economic Background Status (EWASSSBS) and the Essay Writing Performance Test (EWPT). The reliability of EWPT was established through the test re-test method and a reliability coefficient of 0.70 was obtained while a reliability of EWASSSBS was obtained. The scores of the respondents from single administration were subjected to the Cronbach Alpha Reliability Co-efficient test and 0.82 was obtained.

Findings: The outcome revealed a substantial difference between the two groups Post-Treatment Performance Scores. The post-treatment performance means score for the TPS group was 15.67, whereas the post-performance mean score for the conventional group was 12.63. The results also showed that students who were taught essay writing utilising the TPS technique had a significantly different attitude.

Unique Contribution to Theory, Policy, and Practice: The study concluded that the TPS strategy enables student involvement in the learning process. The teachers encourage learning rather than being the exclusive source of knowledge for the students. Through collaborative learning, students have the chance to exchange ideas, respond, think creatively, discuss, critique, and assist their peers in creating better essays. As a result, we recommend that the government should ensure that English Language teachers are trained on how to use TPS strategies at regular intervals so that they can supplement the conventional method of teaching essay writing in Nigerian schools.

Published: February 2023

The indicators used to measure changes in economic structure and their effect on poverty are the Primary Sector Growth Factor (GR), Secondary Sector Growth (GS), and Tertiary Sector Growth (GT) are factors that affect Economic Structure Change (YR, YS, YT ), Per capita Income, and Poverty Level. So far, Maluku Province is still attached to a poor province.

This study aims to analyze changes in economic structure and their effect on poverty in Maluku Province for the 2009-2018 period. The data collection method in this study uses documentation techniques. While the data analysis technique to determine the economic structure uses Location Quetient (LQ) analysis and Shift Share analysis. Meanwhile, to measure the influence of the economic structure on the poverty level, it is carried out through a two-stage analysis. The first stage is to directly analyze the effect of the economic structure on the poverty level, then the second stage is to analyze the effect of the economic structure on the poverty level through the absorption of labor. The analytical technique used is Path Analytic technique.

Based on the results of the study (1) From the Shift Share analysis of the Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) of Maluku Province in 2009-2018, it shows that the economic structure in Maluku Province is dominated by the primary sector, as seen from the total component of the Shift Share analysis of the nine sectors, there are The three sectors that contribute the most to GRDP are agriculture, construction, and services. While the results of the Shift Share analysis on the employment of Maluku Province in 2009-2018, the primary sector has a negative Shift Share component value of -31775 workers, which is slower to absorb labor than the same sector at the provincial level. The results of data analysis through Path Analysis show that (2) the economic structure contributes and has a significant effect on employment as much as 55%; (3) The economic structure contributes directly and has a significant effect on the poverty rate by 40%.

The Sibyl and the Hanging Cage
Authors: Ahlawat Ila
Published: February 2023

The first chapter of this book interrogates the relation of the character of
the Sibyl in T.S. Eliot’s poem The Waste Land to the semantics of temporality
in a gendered and theatrical context. It interrogates the circularity
of time and its unhinging effects on this woman having taken on the
inexorable force of time within a shrinking spatial metaphor, and attempts
to locate the Sibyl at the heart of Eliot’s poem and establish her association
with other women characters in the poem. The chapter also muses on the
Sibyl’s affair with Apollo and explores the sexuate force of temporality and
how it serves as not only a force of annihilation but also a force of genesis.
Dreaming in Loops in Westworld
Authors: Ahlawat Ila
Published: February 2023

The chapter discusses HBO’s science-fiction television series Westworld.
The focus is chiefly on the character of Dolores, who appears in the first
season. The aspects of temporal consciousness, remembrance, and forgetting
are interrogated vis-à-vis the premise of humans acting as gods and
their creations, the humanoid robots searching for their place in the
world. Entrapment within someone else’s story and temporality may not
be necessarily disempowering and may actually initiate the existential
quest for liberation and self-determination. Choices are uncovered and
allowed to take shape as time-sets on their own.
Respiratory Diseases Prediction from a Novel Chaotic System
Authors: MANSOUR Mohammed , DONMEZ Turker Berk , KUTLU Mustafa Çağrı , FREEMAN Chris
Published: February 2023

Pandemics can have a significant impact on international health systems. Researchers have found that there is a correlation between weather conditions and respiratory diseases. This paper focuses on the non-linear analysis of respiratory diseases and their relationship to weather conditions. Chaos events may appear random, but they may actually have underlying patterns. Edward Lorenz referred to this phenomenon in the context of weather conditions as the butterfly effect. This inspired us to define a chaotic system that could capture the properties of respiratory diseases. The chaotic analysis was performed and was related to the difference in the daily number of cases received from real data. Stability analysis was conducted to determine the stability of the system and it was found that the new chaotic system was unstable. Lyapunov exponent analysis was performed and found that the new chaotic system had Lyapunov exponents of (+, 0, -, -). A dynamic neural architecture for input-output modeling of nonlinear dynamic systems was developed to analyze the findings from the chaotic system and real data. A NARX network with inputs (maximum temperature, pressure, and humidity) and one output was used to to overcome any delay effects and analyze derived variables and real data (patients number). Upon solving the system equations, it was found that the correlation between the daily predicted number of patients and the solution of the new chaotic equation was 90.16%. In the future, this equation could be implemented in a real-time warning system for use by national health services.
Beyond Kafala: Employer roles in growing vulnerabilities of women migrant domestic workers

Women migrant domestic workers (WMDWs) constitute 7.7 percent of migrant workers worldwide, of whom more than a quarter live and work in the Arab region. In Lebanon, as in other Arab countries, WMDWs are recruited through the sponsorship system, Kafala. Under this system, a potential migrant worker can only obtain legal residency and a work permit in the country of destination if she is sponsored by a specific employer. Once in the destination country, the worker cannot transfer to a new employer unless granted permission by the original sponsor. The system heightens the social, economic, and legal vulnerability of WMDWs and has been described as unfree or bound labor and a system of racialized servitude. Yet, Kafala is not a written policy but rather a collection of administrative procedures, customary practices, and socially acceptable norms that are maintained by various players throughout the migration process. The question then arises as to whether advocacy efforts that focus on abolishing Kafala as a legal term would mitigate employers’ exploitative practices that violate the workers’ rights and freedoms, particularly in a country like Lebanon. This policy brief is based on a study carried out under the International Labour Organization’s (ILO) Work in Freedom project designed to mitigate the exploitation and forced labor of women migrating from South to West Asia to work in the domestic and garment sectors. This brief explores knowledge, awareness and attitudes to Kafala by employers in Lebanon.
