Phalangeal fracture leading to digital amputation, sustained during manipulation for Dupuytren’s disease as part of clostridial collagenase treatment
Authors: Richards K , Sethu C , Tiernan E
Published: March 2019

Collagenase injection was approved in Europe for use in the treatment of Dupuytren’s disease in 2011. Reported adverse effects include skin tears, swelling, pain and complex regional pain syndrome. Here, we present a case of a rare complication of phalangeal fracture following treatment with collagenase clostridium and the resultant digital amputation.

An 81-year-old man was treated for a 25-year history of progressively disabling Dupuytren’s disease of his left middle and ring fingers. Nine days post-manipulation he presented with persistent pain and swelling and was diagnosed with a displaced fracture of the proximal phalanx of his ring finger. Following discussion of surgical options and potential outcome, he elected to undergo amputation of the digit. He has experienced good treatment results in his middle finger and has no significant functional impairment as a result of this complication. Those offering collagenase injection in the management of Dupuytren’s disease should be aware of this potential complication and it should be included in the consent process.
Unilateral visual loss resulting from orbital encroachment of an ethmoidal juvenile trabecular ossifying fibroma
Authors: Ta NH , Addison A , Beigi B , Philpott C
Published: March 2019

Ossifying fibromas are mainly found in the mandible and maxilla. Reports of them arising in the ethmoid sinuses and orbits are rare. We present a case of an otherwise healthy 20-year-old man with gradual onset of right visual disturbance signified by right relative afferent pupillary defect due to a large unilateral ossifying fibroma arising from the ethmoid sinus compressing the medial half of the right orbit. We emphasise the multidisciplinary combined endoscopic endonasal and external approach to ensure a successful debulking of the fibroma.

Authors: Keser BN , Kırman ÜN , Aktemur G , Alimoĝlu O
Published: March 2019

Solitary fibrous tumours are rare mesenchymal tumours which mostly arise from pleura. Such tumours occurring in the mesocolon are exceptionally rare. A 35-year-old man was referred to the general surgery department with a painless and nonpalpable mass in the right quadrant of the abdomen, which was detected incidentally on magnetic resonance imaging. The patient had no symptoms and the physical examination revealed no findings. The patient underwent surgical resection and excisional biopsy results revealed an intra-abdominal solitary fibrous tumour originating from the ascending mesocolon. He was discharged two days after surgery and remained disease-free at the end of the two-month follow-up period.

Appendicitis due to incarceration within a laparoscopic umbilical port-site hernia secondary to a degree of intestinal malrotation
Authors: Lam AKY , Black J , Parnell B , West CT
Published: March 2019

A 37-year-old woman presented with an incarcerated hernia at a previous umbilical laparoscopic port site. This was found to contain an ischaemic appendix, which was managed successfully with open appendicectomy and a mesh repair. Previous imaging from a year prior to these events demonstrated a degree of intestinal malrotation with the caecal pole lying just under the umbilicus. Finding the appendix within an incisional port site is very rare, for this to occur at the umbilicus is unique.
The Use Of Control Suture In Cleft Lip Surgery
Authors: Sudjatmiko Gentur , Ramadan Mohamad Rachadian
Published: March 2019

To achieve an optimal result in cleft surgery, executing the proper designs and precise techniques are mandatory.

Several techniques are proposed for the repair of unilateral and bilateral cleft lip. In 1955, Millard !rst described the techniques of advancing a lateral upper lip "ap combined with downward rotation of the medial segment.1 From experience, the above- mentioned technique may be modi!ed to facilitate better lip rotation and symmetry. Technically, it also provides a more ef!cient work"ow and more accurate results. All efforts in lip repairs have one ultimate goal, which is to achieve corrected lips with minimal scar and as much resemblance to that of the normal lips: by anatomy, symmetry, and muscle function.
The Incidence and Characteristic of Acute Kidney Injury as A Complication of Severe Burn Injury in Patients Receiving Fluid Resuscitation
Authors: Biben Johannes Albert
Published: March 2019

Background: Acute kidney injury is important factor that can increase mortality in patient with severe burn injury. Knowledge about incidence and characteristic of acute kidney injury among severe burned patients will help medical practitioner to establish appropriate medical decision and health care protocol.

Method: PubMed, Cochrane Library, and GoogleTM search yielded 12 articles. The articles were screened by inclusion criteria, exclusion criteria, and full text reading. Five remaining articles appraised in regard of validity, importance, and applicability.

Result: Incidence of acute kidney injury among severely burned patients varies from 24.4% to 53.3%. According to the study with best level of evidence, a systematic review, the incidence of AKI is 28.8% (95% CI 26.8%-30.7%). AKI can occur early or late, and may progress. Progressive AKI has highest mortality rate.

Conclusion: AKI is common complication among patients with severe burn injury. Approximately one- third to half of patients with severe burn injury will develop AKI in the course of the disease. Early clinical assessment and re-evaluation are important in severe burn injury management.

Pedagógusok problémamegoldó gondolkodásának jellemzői a tanítási tapasztalat tükrében egy oktatási programra vonatkozó vizsgálaton keresztül
Authors: Orgoványi-Gajdos Judit
Published: March 2019

A tanulmány egy pedagógiai problémamegoldó gondolkodást fejlesztő oktatási programhoz kapcsolódó (kezdő)tanári elégedettség-, attitűd-, és hatásvizsgálat eredményeit mutatja be. A program kidolgozása, fejlesztése és értékelése egy ún. design-kutatás keretében történt 2014-2017 között az Eszterházy Károly Egyetemen. A program kidolgozása során a legfontosabb cél az volt, hogy a pedagógusok (saját)eset-alapú tanuláson keresztül olyan gondolkodást segítő technikákat ismerjenek meg, melyekkel a tanulási-tanítási folyamathoz kapcsolódó problémahelyzeteiket értelmezni, elemezni és megoldani tudják. A fejlesztési folyamat több lépcsőben valósult meg annak érdekében, hogy a végső program minél jobban megfeleljen a célcsoport igényeinek. A program végső értékelésének alapját képező kérdőíves vizsgálatban 159 tanárképzésben részt vevő, levelezős hallgató vett részt. Az első adatfelvételre az oktatási program alapján megtartott összesen tíz tömbösített (1X8 órás) kurzus során került sor, amikor is a hallgatók skálás és nyílt kérdések egyaránt tartalmazó, papíralapú kérdőívet töltöttek ki. Az értékelés második ütemét nyílt kérdéseket tartalmazó, online kérdőívek alkották, amelyeket a hallgatók a kurzusokat követő legalább négy hónap elteltével töltöttek ki. A vizsgálat egyrészt alkalmas volt az oktatási program felépítésére, tartalmára, hasznosságára és hatékonyságára vonatkozó elégedettség, valamint a technikákkal kapcsolatos attitűdvizsgálatra. Másrészt a mintát tanítási tapasztalat alapján további öt almintára bontva összehasonlító vizsgálatra is sor került. A vizsgálata bebizonyította, hogy az oktatási programot a pedagógusok a tág értelemben vett tanárképzés minden szakaszába hasznosnak találják. Ugyanakkor a kutatásból kiderült az is, hogy a résztvevők technikákkal kapcsolatos elégedettsége és attitűdje összefüggésben van a pedagóguskutatások által feltárt és kifejezetten a tanári pálya egy-egy szakaszára (tanárjelölt, kezdő tanár, tapasztalt tanár) vonatkozó jellemzőkkel is.

Published: March 2019

This work studied the synthetization and morphological characterization of Polyethylmethacrylate (PEMA) nanofibers (NFs) containing titanium dioxide (TiO2) produced by the electrospinning technique. The solution to produce the nanofibers was prepared by dissolving 2.5g PEMA in 6.75mL of 1.1.2.2- tetrachloroethane and 3.375mL of dimethylformamide (DMF), and 0.405g of TiO2 was added to the solution. The nanofiber production used different distances between the tip of the needle to the collector (10, 12 and 15 cm) and two flow rates (0.05 mLh-1 and 0.08 mLh-1) were employed, while the applied voltage was 17kV. The NF morphology was analyzed by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Image J software. We used Fourier Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (EDS) to evaluate the structural properties. All parameters were effective in the NF production, however it was shown that the distance of 12 cm produced the best NFs. The mean diameters showed no statistically significant difference between the samples. The FTIR analysis showed characteristic peaks of PEMA and TiO2. It was concluded that the employed method was efficient for NF production containing PEMA and TiO2,and the morphological characteristics of the NFs were influenced by the voltage and distance.

Published: March 2019

Objective: The present study assessed the fracture strength of teeth subjected to endodontic access cavity preparation on buccal surfaces, or with the aid of operating microscopy when compared to the conventional technique. Material and methods: Sixty mandibular incisors were split into four groups (n=15): conventional access cavity preparation (CCP); conservative (C); buccal surface (BS); and control. The canals were prepared and filled and the cavities were restored. A static compressive strength test was conducted until crown fracture. The force data were compiled and assessed statistically. Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Shapiro-Wilk tests were performed to assess normality, Levene’s test to assess variance homogeneity, the one-way ANOVA to compare fracture strength in the assessed groups. Tukey’s HSD test was used to determine whether the differences in the means were significant between the groups.Results: The experimental groups did not show any statistically significant differences in mean fracture strength (CCP = 585.65 N±107.64 N)(BS = 530.52 N±129.35 N) (C = 517.83 N±114.68 N). Conclusion: Therefore, the selection of surface or size of access cavity proposed did not influence the fracture strength of mandibular incisors when compared to conventional cavity preparation. KeywordsDental pulp cavity; Dental stress analysis; Root canal therapy.

Published: March 2019

Para atestar a possibilidade de diálogo entre o teatro, a cidade e a política, este artigo analisa três eventos de natureza distinta, em diferentes momentos da história brasileira: a adaptação, durante a ditadura militar, de Na selva das cidades (1969), de Brecht, por Zé Celso, à frente do Grupo Oficina, focando a cidade de São Paulo; os espetáculos O tiro que mudou a história e Tiradentes (1992), dirigidos por Aderbal Freire-Filho, que valorizam o teatro em espaços históricos e tombados da cidade do Rio de Janeiro; e a peça BR3, verdadeiro manifesto sociopolítico, encenada em São Paulo pelo Teatro da Vertigem (2006) e dirigida por Antônio Araújo. Nesta análise, a cidade se apresenta ora como representação, ora como suporte da cena ou como a própria dramaturgia, tendo como base conceitos formulados por Patrice Pavis, Christine Boyer e Marc Augé.

Jogando com imagens: as disputas sobre os sentidos da capoeira na revista ilustrada O Cruzeiro
Authors: Pinheiro Bruno
Published: March 2019

As fotorreportagens “Delinquência juvenil” (1 fev. 1947), assinadas pelo fotojornalista Jean Manzon e pelo jornalista David Nasser, e “Capoeira mata um!” (10 jan. 1948), do então fotojornalista Pierre Verger e do folclorista Cláudio “Tuiuti” Tavares, são analisadas como parte da continuidade dos debates em torno da descriminalização da capoeira, ocorrida em 1937. Na primeira, evidenciam-se os modos de representar o tema que eram populares no período anterior a 1937, em que ocupava quase que unicamente as páginas policiais. Na segunda, estão presentes as formas difundidas nos anos seguintes, quando a capoeira migrou para as páginas de cultura. Após delinear as filiações visuais e intelectuais dos autores nessa disputa, seus conteúdos serão aproximados às representações da capoeira que permeiam o romance Capitães da areia (1937), de Jorge Amado, tomado como referência comum a ambas as publicações, buscando explicitar os limites das narrativas jornalísticas sobre a temática.

“Eu quero frátria”: a comunidade do rap
Authors: Naves Santuza Cambraia
Published: March 2019

O texto trata das rupturas empreendidas pelo rap com a categoria Estado-nação, ao recorrer discursiva e musicalmente à ideia de comunidade. Promove-se um deslocamento do conceito de “nação”, substituindo o espaço geográfico que corresponde às suas fronteiras por um outro, cujo limite obedece a um corte transversal no planeta marcado pela trajetória do negro. Assim, os rappers, ancorados na bandeira da negritude, reconstroem a própria genealogia. Quando adotam esta atitude, os rappers brasileiros tomam como ancestrais tanto os sambistas do partido-alto e repentistas quanto músicos norte-americanos, em busca de um legado musical e comportamental. Esse tipo de “atitude” será comparada com os pressupostos nacional-populares que nortearam a MPB na década de 1960, cujos músicos pensavam o “Brasil” e o “povo” numa perspectiva totalizante.

A janela de Carolina e o espelho de Lindoneia: duas antimusas de um mundo que se desagrega
Authors: Napolitano Marcos
Published: March 2019

Este artigo visa analisar, a partir de uma perspectiva histórica, duas canções dos anos 60: “Carolina” (Chico Buarque, 1967) e “Lindoneia” (Caetano Veloso e Gilberto Gil, 1968). Sob uma ótica intertextual e contrapontística, sugerimos que a análise das duas composições, principalmente das suas letras (mas também de alguns aspectos musicais), revela uma configuração histórica tensa, retrato dos dilemas da modernização brasileira, potencializados pelo golpe militar de 1964.

Authors: Antunes Andreia , Costa Eleonora C. V.
Published: March 2019

Os problemas relacionados com o consumo de substâncias psicoativas, afetam não apenas contexto socioeconómico do indivíduo, mas também têm impacto ao nível do sono, da agressividade e dos comportamentos de risco. O presente estudo analisou, por um lado, as diferenças entre indivíduos dependentes de drogas e de álcool ao nível da qualidade do sono, da agressividade e de comportamentos de risco. E, por outro lado, identificou o contributo independente das variáveis sociodemográficas para o consumo de álcool e drogas. A amostra foi constituída por 115 indivíduos dependentes de drogas e de álcool pertencentes a várias instituições da região Norte de Portugal. Os resultados revelaram que os indivíduos toxicodependentes possuem um menor nível de qualidade de sono, uma maior prevalência de ISTS e realizaram mais o teste ao VIH, sendo o seu resultado positivo com maior frequência, em comparação com os dependentes de álcool. A análise dos resultados revelou ainda que, nesta amostra, pertencer ao sexo feminino e possuir habilitações literárias mais baixas constituíam preditores significativos do consumo de álcool, sendo o consumo de drogas predito pela idade mais jovem e pelas habilitações literárias superiores. Os resultados revelaram a necessidade de implementar e avaliar programas de intervenção ao nível das dependências.

Authors: Carfì David , Donato Alessia , Schilirò Daniele
Published: March 2019

General setting.1. This paper proposes an interaction model representing a global economy aiming to become environmentally sustainable.2. The model looks at the production side and consumption side of the economies of two groups of countries.3. Regarding the production side, the suggested model considers aggregate common/coordinated investments in green technologies against climate change.4. On the side of consumptions, it considers economic and policy instruments to change the patterns of households’ consumptions, towards products respectful of the planet.5. The model follows a multi-dimensional game theory approach and applies a theoretical framework à la Cournot.
Behavioral issues in decision problems: the role of information
Authors: VENTRE Viviana
Published: March 2019

Operational research (OR) might exhibit a partial perspective in modelling decisional processes as rational processes, because individual choices are strictly influenced by cognitive and motivational biases which can be different among people and for each person in dierent situation. We point out that the level of information of each problem solver play an important role in causing inconsistent preferences, and we demonstrate that only about strict conditions decision models coincide with real choices, because only in particular cases the optimum and rational decision matches with the real one. Moreover, cognitive and motivational biases influence also the modeler in the process of modelling. Behavioral Operational Research (BOR) studies the influence of behavioral issues in the modelling process, to avoid such kinds of biases and create eficient models to define choices in similar decision processes.

Published: March 2019

Lymphadenectomy is critical in the clinical prognosis of ovarian cancer patients. Therefore, we assessed whether lymph node ratio (LNR) has predictive value on overall survival (OS) of patients with serous epithelial ovarian cancer (SEOC). A total of 7,815 eligible SEOC patients were identified from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database, who underwent surgical resection between 1973 and 2013. We used the time-dependent receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and the area under curve to determine the optimal cut-off value of LNR. The predictive role of LNR was analyzed by Cox proportional hazards regression model. The effects of LNR and positive lymph nodes (PLN) on OS were evaluated by comparing the time-dependent ROC curves. The time-dependent ROC curves showed that the optimal LNR cut-off value was 42.0% for nodal-positive SEOC. As shown in Kaplan-Meier survival curves, survival was significantly poorer for all patients with LNR≥42.0% (log-rank test: P<0.0001), regardless of the stage. In the multivariate Cox analysis, LNR≥42.0% remained a significant and independent predictor of mortality risk for all patients [hazards ratio: 1.526, 95% confidence interval: 1.415-1.647; P<0.0001], compared with those LNR<42.0%. These results suggest that LNR, rather than the number of PLN or stage, could be regarded as a promising predictor of mortality risk, particularly in stage-III SEOC patients.
When grammar clashes: Negotiation of guilt and innocence in courtroom discourse
Authors: Chaemsaithong Krisda
Published: March 2019

Adopting a functional view of language, this study critically explores clausal patterns in lawyers’ opening address in an American criminal trial. Underpinned by the assumption that no linguistic options are value-free, the quantitative and qualitative analysis uncovers the syntactic choices employed by the opposing sides and accounts for them in terms of the presenters’ ideological positions concerning the guilt and innocence of the defendant. The findings reveal stark differences between the two sides. Such systematic differences in clausal configurations not only constitute a prime meaning-making strategy that serves to construct polarized positioning of the same people and events, but are also likely to strike a profound impact with the jurors, potentially leading them to make tentative conclusions at this initial stage of case presentation.

OBJECTIVES:

Maternal smoking during pregnancy is an established risk factor for sudden unexpected infant death (SUID). Here, we aim to investigate the effects of maternal prepregnancy smoking, reduction during pregnancy, and smoking during pregnancy on SUID rates.

METHODS:

We analyzed the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Birth Cohort Linked Birth/Infant Death Data Set (2007–2011: 20 685 463 births and 19 127 SUIDs). SUID was defined as deaths at <1 year of age with International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision codes R95 (sudden infant death syndrome), R99 (ill-defined or unknown cause), or W75 (accidental suffocation or strangulation in bed).

RESULTS:

SUID risk more than doubled (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 2.44; 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.31–2.57) with any maternal smoking during pregnancy and increased twofold between no smoking and smoking 1 cigarette daily throughout pregnancy. For 1 to 20 cigarettes per day, the probability of SUID increased linearly, with each additional cigarette smoked per day increasing the odds by 0.07 from 1 to 20 cigarettes; beyond 20 cigarettes, the relationship plateaued. Mothers who quit or reduced their smoking decreased their odds compared with those who continued smoking (reduced: aOR = 0.88, 95% CI 0.79–0.98; quit: aOR = 0.77, 95% CI 0.67–0.87). If we assume causality, 22% of SUIDs in the United States can be directly attributed to maternal smoking during pregnancy.

CONCLUSIONS:

These data support the need for smoking cessation before pregnancy. If no women smoked in pregnancy, SUID rates in the United States could be reduced substantially.
China and Latin America, from neo-colonialism to interdependence? Brazil Case
Authors: Suarez Torres Angela Piedad
Published: March 2019

Since the eighties, the relationship that China has developed with Latinomerica has been strengthened, becoming the third most important partner in the region. This regulation is not only the opening of a new market for China but varied opportunities for Latin-American countries. However, starting from the topic of natural resources and analyzing the case of Brazil, the article seeks to present how this relationship that in principle is framed in Neocolonialism, with interests merely of extraction and use of the resources of the region, can be considered a change towards a more equitable relationship framed in interdependence, from which the two parties can benefit.Desde los años ochenta, la relación que China ha desarrollado con Latinomerica se ha ido fortaleciendo, llegando a convertirse en el tercer socio mas importante de la region.

Para que as empresas consigam obter sucesso em suas vendas é importante que ofereçam serviços de qualidade, e para isso se faz necessário conhecer as expectativas dos seus consumidores. A ferramenta SERVQUAL permite a análise do que o cliente espera de um determinado tipo de serviço e o que a empresa, de fato, oferece a ele. Sob esse aspecto, o objetivo desta pesquisa foi analisar a qualidade dos serviços oferecidos por uma pequena empresa varejista e comparar com as percepções dos clientes de uma empresa Benchmark. Para isso, por meio de um estudo de caso, foram aplicados 60 questionários nas duas empresas, atuantes no mesmo segmento de mercado. Os resultados obtidos foram: i) a ferramenta SERVQUAL ainda é pouco utilizada no mercado de atuação em que as empresas estão inseridas; ii) o ponto forte da Empresa 1 é a dimensão Empatia e da Empresa Benchmark, Responsividade; iii) ambas empresas apresentam oportunidades de melhoria na parte Tangível (Instalações físicas); iv) apesar da Empresa Benchmark obter um melhor resultado na média geral, existem itens em que a Empresa 1 é mais desenvolvida, como por exemplo, atenção individualizada.

A avaliação da capacidade de certo processo verifica como produtos dentro das especificações estão sendo entregues aos clientes. Para tal, supõe-se que o processo apresente distribuição normal. Caso isto não ocorra, pode comprometer a análise, sendo necessário adotar alternativas específicas. O objetivo deste trabalho é apresentar uma aplicação da capacidade do processo com distribuição não normal relacionada à resistência do concreto. Para tanto, foram realizadas transformações nos dados visando que estes apresentassem distribuição normal e após calcular os índices tradicionais, também foram obtidos os índices pertinentes para processo não normal. Os dados avaliados são provenientes do controle tecnológico de concreto em uma obra realizada em Joinville-SC e correspondiam à resistência aos 7 dias do concreto cuja especificação era de que a resistência deveria atingir pelo menos 70% do fck especificado para 28 dias. Constatou-se que o processo era não capaz, seja por meio da transformação ou pelos índices de capacidade não normais. Ao final se estabeleceu uma comparação entre os métodos usados e todos indicaram a falta da habilidade do processo em produzir dentro das especificações.
Is Formal Legal and Objective (Material) Truth Reconcilable in the CCP RF?
Authors: Pechnikov Gennady , Shinkaruk Vladimir , Solovyova Natalia
Published: March 2019

The article critically evaluates the point of view on the coexistence of formally legal truth and objective (material) truth in today's Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, it also criticizes the position that there are no criteria that clearly distinguishing these truths and that the philosophical approach should not be disseminated on the criminal process, which should be taken autonomously from philosophy. The article defends the point of view that in the present Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation competition is selfsufficient and excludes objective truth. Adversarial criminal process is characterized by formal legal truth, and objective truth requires a fundamentally different type (model) of criminal proceedings - an objectively true criminal process. The authors consider this model of criminal proceedings to be a higher, more perfect and fair type of criminal proceedings, in contrast to the adversarial (winning-losing) type of criminal process, in which the "right and fairness of the strong" prevails.The authors of the article firmly stand on the philosophy of the materialist dialectic; they believe that a philosophical approach is also necessary in the criminal process. In this regard, there are dialectical and non-dialectical (not taking into account the objective laws and rules of dialectics) criminal processes. Relativism of the adversary criminal process, its susceptibility to sophistry are obvious. Therefore, in a competitive duel of the parties, it is important to be more convincing in your arguments than your procedural opponent. We see an objectively-true model of the criminal process as a higher, more perfect and more equitable type of criminal proceedings. The intention of truth and the belief in the ability to prove it give a moral meaning to cognitive activity, whereas indifference to it was perceived throughout the history of culture as a threat to the moral existence of society.
Content-Targeted Structuring of Social Activity on the Internet
Authors: Boyko Natalia
Published: March 2019

The article presents the results of a monitoring study of social activity on the Internet. Monitoring of the development and use of the Internet in modern society shows an active growth in the number of users of the World Wide Web. The total number of Internet users is growing dynamically together with the intensity of network use. The high intensity of Internet use, as well as the predominantly "home" use of the network, allows us to increase overall online activity, to improve the quality and versatility of such activity. There are significant qualitative changes in the use of the Internet. Network users demonstrate an active and diverse response to any social processes that occur in society and in the world. They actively use the Internet to obtain diverse social information. Online activity related to the use of the network to express their thoughts and suggestions on various social issues is also recorded. The Internet is also used to contact with government and public structures; to support specific social events that are initiated by users on the Internet, etc.Thus, it can be stated that the online activity of users covers a rather extensive content-targeted field of citizens' social activity. Nowadays, online activity acquires stability, repeatability, mass character inherent in social practices. As a result of the study, factor analysis allowed to identify the following components of online activity: cognitive-informational, emotional-communicative and effective-behavioral, reflecting the features of the meaningful and targeted structuring of social activity on the Internet. The study demonstrated the stability, repeatability, mass character, and the stable nature of the functioning of the selected components (factors) throughout the study period. It also witnessed the presence of leading online activities mediated by the space-time continuum.
