Authors: Vadvilavičius Tadas
Published: July 2024

In psychological research, greater attention is paid to the closest social systems of a person and their importance for that person’s well-being. However, it cannot be ruled out that the state-level social system and its assessment can also be significant predictors of a person’s subjective well-being. The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of an individual’s trust in parliament, political parties, the political and legal system, and the police on life satisfaction and subjective happiness. Data from the European Social Survey Round 10, which includes 21 countries (n = 34079), were used for the analysis. The results revealed that the people have the most trust in the police and the least trust in political parties. Additionally, the results show that men trust parliament and the legal system more than women and are more satisfied with life. Structural equation modeling revealed that trust in the state predicts higher life satisfaction and subjective well-being. The results revealed that the state, as the highest social system, is also significant for a person’s subjective well-being. The results also showed differences between countries. The obtained research findings open up possibilities for further research.

Published: July 2024

Introduction. The measurement of relative air humidity plays a crucial role in various aspects of human life, such as climate control systems, medical breath and skin hydration monitoring. Typically, humidity sensors use inorganic materials and petroleum-derived polymers. However, there is a growing trend towards the transition to biodegradable materials, which eliminates the need for waste disposal.Problem Statement. Currently, nanocellulose (NC) has been being explored as a promising material for humidity sensors. However, the influence of the chemical composition and nanoparticle size of NC on the sensor characteristics remains understudied.Purpose. This study aims to investigate the influence of the chemical composition and structure of NC on the parameters of humidity sensors.Materials and Methods. NC has been synthesized from reed stalks and wheat straw bz the oxidation and acid hydrolysis methods. NC-film sensors having a mass within 0.3—3 mg have been fabricated. The static parameters (response, sensitivity, reversibility, and repeatability) and the dynamic parameters (short and long-term stability, response and recovery time) of the sensors have been analyzed.Results. The manufacturing method influences the NC chemical composition, while the origin material affects its structure. The sensors produced by the oxidation method have demonstrated improved sensitivity (2.69 · 106), response (0.2 (%RH)–1), recovery time (60 s) and long-term stability (1.44%) as compared with those made by the hydrolysis method. Additionally, the application of wheat straw NC as origin material has resulted in improved reversibility (5%), repeatability (5% deviation), short-term stability (30% deviation), and response time (1 s) as compared with the reed stalks NC.Conclusions. It has been established that the origin material of nanocellulose influences the reversibility, repeatability, response time, and short-term stability of the sensors. The manufacturing method has effect on the sensitivity, response, recovery time, and long-term stability of the sensors.

Introduction. For the effective use of equipment for setting metal fi ttings in light industry products, in particular in footwear, leather goods, textiles, corsetry, and curtain products, the regularities of changing the strain force acting on metal grommets during their interaction with the punch toroidal surface should be taken into account.Problems Statement. For solving many practical problems, it is necessary to calculate the parameters of the strain force acting on metal accessories (in particular grommets) from the working surface of the tool. Knowing the force parameters allows us to calculate the strength of the punch, to predict its wear resistance, and to determine the necessary kinematic and energy characteristics of the equipment.Purpose. Establishing the regularities of changes in the strain force acting on metal fi ttings during their interaction with the toroidal surface of the punch, given the conditions of contact interaction and the physical and mechanical properties of the fi ttings material.Materials and Methods. Theoretical and experimental methods of research based on the classical laws of mechanics and the simulation of the process of deformation with the use of information technologies have been employed. Microsoft Excel has been used to create the computation program. The analytical calculations and the experiment have been made for a 08 kp steel eyelet.Results. The dependence of the total strain force acting on the eyelet on the punch step has been analytically established; the process of grommet deformation by the toroidal surface of the punch has been experimentally studied. The strain forces are most signifi cantly aff ected by: the grommet thickness, the radius of the punch toroidal part, the radius of the point of transition of the punch conical surface into the toroidal one.
Conclusions. The shape of the working surfaces and the geometric parameters of the punch have a decisive influence on the process pressure values. The resulting dependencies can be used for developing new press equipment for grommeting light industry products, as well as for selecting the operating conditions of the existing equipment. This improves the quality of process operations, reduces the energy consumption of equipment, and increases the labor productivity.

Published: July 2024

Abstract Purpose: This article aims to analyze entrepreneurs’ perceptions about the contributions of Model C in modeling their social businesses. Originality/value: The study contributes theoretically and empirically when addressing social businesses linked to opportunities and their development challenges by using the Model C tool in its modeling, exploring institutional integration, and allowing a holistic, systemic structure of value creation activities. Design/methodology/approach: The study adopts a qualitative method of a descriptive type based on multiple cases in three Brazilian social businesses. For data collection, an interview script developed from the analysis categories of the Model C framework was applied, as well as the interviewees’ perception of how the tool helps the development of their business model, direct observation, and documentary analysis. The analysis of the results was performed with the aid of the software ATLAS.ti. Findings: Based on the assumption that a social business model mixes several institutional logics, combining social and financial missions in a balanced way, the results show that Model C can structure the business’s organizational capacity and social value. However, it cannot fully quantify the financial value generated by social businesses, leading the social entrepreneur to use complementary financial tools. There is evidence for the creation of new tools that assist in obtaining innovative solutions to address societal challenges.

Published: July 2024

Abstract Objective To evaluate and compare the CKD-EPI, BIS1 and MDRD formulas and diagnostic thresholds of 45 and 60 ml/min/1.73m2 in older patients. Method A cross-sectional, descriptive, analytical observational study was conducted. Patients aged ≥65 years treated at a referral outpatient clinic between January 2020 and June 2022, were assessed. Patients with only one creatinine level or with transient GFR abnormalities were excluded. Results The GFR estimates using the CKD-EPI formula were higher than both the BIS1 and MDRD formulas in patient groups aged 65-74 years and 75-84 years. In the group of patients aged 85-94 years, the CKD-EPI showed no difference when compared with the MDRD, yielding higher estimates only compared with the BIS1. Greater dispersion was found between the CKD-EPI and BIS1, showing less agreement between these formulas, as confirmed by the Kappa test (76.7%), while there was almost perfect agreement between the CKD-EPI and MDRD. Conclusion The BIS1 formula showed stronger correlation of the decrease in eGFR with advancing age, reflecting the physiological renal aging process and serving as a potentially useful tool for estimating GFR in older adults. The formula can help provide a more accurate diagnosis of CKD and aid planning of interventions to slow the progression of CKD and predict the risk of mortality from cardiovascular diseases.

Glycolytic modulations and antioxidant capacity in Amazonian fish, Bryconops giacopinii (Characiformes: Iguanodectidae), living at high temperature
Authors: Campos Derek Felipe de , Mota Susana Braz , Almeida-Val Vera Maria Fonseca de , Val Adalberto Luis
Published: July 2024

Abstract Temperature is projected to continue increasing in the upcoming years. The effects of temperature warming in deforested stream populations have not been addressed yet and are a promising area to understand the consequences of increased temperature on fish physiology. Therefore, the aims of this study were to determine the manner in which Bryconops giacopinii from deforested habitat modulates the LDH kinetics in response to warming and whether the antioxidant system is able to withstand thermal stress. We collected individuals from two roadside streams (deforested) and one forested stream and measured the LDH kinetics parameters (Vmax and Km) for pyruvate and lactate, measured the total ROS production, and measured the activity of antioxidant enzymes and the oxidative stress biomarker. Our results showed lower affinity and higher LDH activity for lactate oxidation in road-side populations, suggesting that populations living in high temperatures use lactate as aerobic fuel. Besides, there was an increase in ROS production, and CAT and GSH levels in road-side populations, but not LPO levels, suggesting that B. giacopinni is able to neutralize the ROS production with the antioxidant systems. Our results bring important findings in the adaptation of this specie to a warm environment.

Published: July 2024

Resumo Neste artigo, analisamos os processos interacionais presentes em grupos antivacina no Telegram no Brasil. Usando descritores associados ao tema da vacina e à contestação vacinal, identificamos sete grupos que abordaram a questão vacinal de janeiro a março de 2021, período que corresponde aos primeiros meses da vacinação contra a Covid-19 no Brasil. Utilizando o método da Teoria Fundamentada, realizamos uma análise qualitativa das conversas tecidas nos grupos estudados. Os resultados mostram que essas interações estão centradas em três eixos principais que revelam: 1) a formação de um senso de comunidade, envolvendo processos de ajuda mútua, reconhecimento de pares, deliberações sobre o grupo e a rede antivacina, testemunhais e suporte afetivo; 2) o processo de elaboração de uma identidade marcada pela diferença em relação à alteridade; e 3) o gerenciamento de processos de hesitação e dissenso, que podem resultar em rupturas no grupo. A compreensão desses processos, a partir do contexto brasileiro, visa contribuir com o desenvolvimento de estratégias de enfrentamento da desinformação quanto à saúde e vacinas.
How can the inflection point of the water retention curve and the soil physical attributes be used to forecast field capacity?1
Authors: Barros Timóteo Herculino da Silva , Uliana Matheus Vieira , Costa Jéfferson de Oliveira , Farias-Ramírez Asdrubal Jesus , Abreu Junior Cassio Hamilton
Published: July 2024

ABSTRACT Agricultural productivity is closely related to soil physical attributes, specifically those that affect the soil-water relationship, as the soil serves as the main water reservoir for plants. This research aimed to determine the field capacity for different soils, using equations based on the water retention curve. The database used included 150 soil profiles from studies published by other authors encompassing information related to textural classification, soil bulk density, particle density and soil water retention. The inflection point for each soil profile and the corresponding matrix potential were generated. Multiple correlations were established between volumetric moisture at field capacity and clay, silt and sand contents. The calculated inflection point can be an estimator of field capacity, what may facilitate and speed up the calculation of water availability.

Published: July 2024

ABSTRACT The mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana L.) germplasm still has limitations in fruit quality, drought tolerance and susceptibility to pests or diseases. This study investigated the genetic diversity and relationships of mangosteen with its wild relatives (Garcinia spp.) based on leaf morphology and the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region, including its secondary structure. Based on leaf morphology, the mangosteen and its wild relatives generally showed a low genetic diversity. However, the leaf texture and pubescence had a high genetic diversity (0.71 and 0.77, respectively). Furthermore, based on the ITS markers, the genetic diversity of Garcinia at the interspecies level was much higher than that at the intraspecies one (0.043 and 0.005, respectively). The unweighted pair group method with the arithmetic average (UPGMA) revealed that mangosteen is grouped into four main clusters, with ‘Manggis Banjar’ and ‘Palembang’ in the same cluster. Similarly, the ITS positioned Garcinia into several clades, with ‘Manggis Banjar’, ‘Kandangan’ and ‘Palembang’ grouped into a similar clade. The biochemical reconstruction showed that Garcinia has unique ITS secondary structures, i.e., ring and four-helix models. Even though the cultivated mangosteen and its wild relatives had low diversity based on leaf morphology, the ITS markers showed a high genetic diversity. Furthermore, the reconstruction of the ITS secondary structure has supported this germplasm’s phylogenetic tree.

ABSTRACT Introduction: Mandibular advancement surgery corrects bone bases while establishing patients’ functional and aesthetic rehabilitation. However, little is known about the results of this procedure in the structures that make up the stomatognathic system, as the condyles. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the structural and positional changes of mandibular condyles in ortho-surgical patients who underwent mandibular advancement surgery. Material and Methods: A prospective investigation was conducted with cone-beam computed tomography images. Using Dolphin Imaging® software, seven ortho-surgical patients with Angle Class II malocclusion and mandibular deficiency were evaluated. The images assessed were obtained at pre-surgical phase and after, at least, 1 year of the procedure. To study the structural and positional changes of condyles, linear and angular measurements were obtained, and the right and left sides of patients were compared. Descriptive statistical analysis was performed and, in order to verify possible significant differences, normality tests (Kolmogorov-Smirnov) were applied, followed by a paired t-test to define significance. Results: For all measures evaluated in this study, no statistically significant differences were found. Conclusion: The ortho-surgical procedure performed did not change the structure and position of the condyles of patients who underwent surgical mandibular advancement. Right and left mandibular condyles behaved similarly, suggesting stability and condylar adaptation after surgery.

Published: July 2024

ABSTRACT Objective: This descriptive observational study aimed to determine clinically relevant and applicable data of enamel thickness (ETH), considering the mesio-distal differences of anterior and posterior permanent teeth and their relationships. Material and Methods: The sample consisted of right-sided standardized radiographs of 34 individuals (21 females and 13 males), aged between 13 and 24 (average 16) years, with all permanent teeth intact and without crowding. Four periapical and four interproximal radiographs were obtained and digitized. ETH measurements (mesial to distal contact points at the dentin-enamel junction) were performed after correction for radiographic image magnification. The Students’ t-test was applied to the differences between paired means, with the Pearson correlation to evaluate the correlation between them. Results: The mesial and distal ETH increased from the anterior to the posterior teeth. Incisor ETH ranged between 0.60 and 0.84 mm. Canines, premolars, and molars were more than 1.0 mm thick, and molar enamel reached values between 1.26 and 1.44 mm. Conclusion: Distal ETH was significantly greater than the mesial ETH, and progressively thicker from the anterior to posterior teeth. Interproximal reduction (IPR) of the lower central and upper lateral incisors should be avoided, reduced, or performed on their distal surfaces. There is a positive and significant correlation between ETH and the mesial and distal surfaces of the teeth. Periapical radiographs and evaluation of the remaining ETH are necessary in cases of retreatment. The location and number of tooth size discrepancies should be considered in treatment planning and appropriately compensated with IPR.

ABSTRACT Allelochemicals have been used as an alternative to pesticides and inhibit the action of pathogens or stimulating the growth of other plants. This study aimed to analyze the phytotoxic potential of the species Apeiba tibourbou Aubl. (Malvaceae) pau-de-jangada and Curatella americana L. (Dilleniaceae) lixeira on the germination of Lactuca sativa L. seeds (Asteraceae). Aqueous extracts of A. tibourbou and C. americana leaves at different concentrations were applied on L. sativa seeds for seven days. The species studied have the potential to control the germination of lettuce seeds treated with lixeira and pau-de-jangada extracts, especially in terms of germination speed index and average germination time. The extracts of both species have phytotoxic potential for controlling germination.
A degeneração da política federal de regularização fundiária na Amazônia
Authors: Moutinho Domingos Daniel
Published: July 2024

Resumo Este artigo está inserido no campo do direito agrário e ambiental e tem como objetivo saber se e em que medida a política de regularização fundiária na Amazônia tem sido capaz de alcançar seu propósito de cumprir a função social da propriedade. Para tanto, o artigo, inicialmente, aborda toda a disciplina normativa da regularização fundiária federal, a partir da Constituição Federal de 1988. Em seguida, enfrenta os efeitos dessa política na prática, a partir de um recorte amostral na região do Vale do Jamanxim, no sudoeste paraense. Nesse contexto, analisa o cenário da ocupação das terras federais, os destinatários efetivos da regularização fundiária, a dimensão das áreas regularizáveis, a dinâmica do desmatamento, os preços pagos pelas terras e o tema da segurança jurídica diante dos “títulos” expedidos. Os resultados encontrados militam no sentido de que a política de regularização fundiária tem fomentado a reconcentração fundiária e o desmatamento, uma vez que é voltada, na prática, para atender majoritariamente, em termos de áreas, grandes e médias propriedades; além disso, a permanente expectativa da regularização incentiva a continuidade do uso das terras e a supressão de sua cobertura florestal. Conclui-se, assim, que a política de regularização fundiária de terras públicas na Amazônia se degenerou a ponto de servir ao avesso do atendimento à função social da propriedade, estimulando a grilagem, a degradação ambiental e os conflitos inerentes a elas.
Atenas Program: Pioneer Brazilian service of outpatient care by telemedicine for women with miscarriage or incomplete abortion
Authors: Victa Ana Gabriela Lima Bispo de , McCallum Cecilia , Menezes Greice
Published: July 2024

ABSTRACT The criminalization of abortion and restricted access to misoprostol in Brazil force women to seek unsafe methods to terminate a pregnancy. Hospital care for miscarriage or abortion is standard. In contrast, telemedicine for the medical management of miscarriage and abortion is the gold standard of care internationally. This article presents the Atenas Program – an unprecedented initiative for first trimester abortion/miscarriage care, aiming at a humanized out-of-hospital service based on telephone monitoring by nurses, allowing women to choose the method of uterine evacuation (expectant, medical or surgical). For this purpose, ethnographic research was carried out in a northeastern public maternity hospital, between 2014 and 2021. In the context of structural and conjunctural difficulties, among the 723 Atenas participants, 73,6% dispensed with hospital admission for miscarriage and abortion resolution: 58,4% occurred spontaneously and 15,2% through hospital misoprostol. No complications were registered. Telephone monitoring by nurses provided the basis for continuity of individualized care for this invisibilized public. Atenas Program, initiative of a SUS institution run without external financial support, represents an advance in humanized care for women with miscarriage and abortion. It should be extended to the entire public health network, to expand access to rounded and humanized care for abortion and miscarriage.

ABSTRACT This study aims to present the results of the translation, cross-cultural validation and preliminary evaluation of a tool, originally developed in the United Kingdom, to guide Brazilian researchers in the elaboration of projects and rigorous and high-quality implementation research: ImpRes-BR. Following currently established good practices for cross-cultural validation of instruments and scales, the tool, together with its user guide, was translated and back-translated, subjected to a pilot test with 20 health professionals and evaluated by a panel of 10 specialists who assigned the values used for the calculations of the Content Validity Index at the item level (CVI-I) and scale (CVI-E). In this process, in addition to conceptual validity indices greater than 90%, an IVC-I of at least 0.90 was observed in all domains of the tool and its guide, and an IVC-E of 0.98. Having established the validity of the tool and its guide, it was applied in 14 research projects in the planning or execution phase and was recognized as a powerful instrument for self-analysis of the teams in the qualification of their projects and strengthening them in relation to the principles of the Implementation Science.

Abstract Objective: To estimate the economic burden associated with COVID-19 in Córdoba, Colombia, 2020 and 2021. Methods: Economic burden study. Direct costs were analyzed from the third-party payer perspective using healthcare administrative databases and interviews from a cohort of confirmed COVID-19 cases from Córdoba. Costing aggregation was performed by the bottom-up method. Indirect costs were estimated using the productivity loss approach. Contrast tests and statistical models were estimated at 5% significance. Results: We studied 1,800 COVID-19 cases. The average economic cost of COVID-19 per episode was estimated at US$ 2,519 (95%CI 1,980;3,047). The direct medical cost component accounted for 92.9% of the total; out-of-pocket and indirect costs accounted for 2% and 5.1%, respectively. Conclusion: COVID-19 economic cost was mainly due to direct medical costs. This study provided evidence of the economic burden faced by households due to COVID-19, with the most vulnerable households bearing much of the burden on their income.

Published: July 2024

The presence of nanoeffects in polymer nanocomposites, which determine the properties of these nanomaterials,
has been confirmed. In particular, these nanoeffects are the reason for the manifestation of
identical properties in nano- and microcomposites with lower nanofiller content compared to microfillers.
In turn, nanoeffects are attributable to a larger fraction of phase interfacial surfaces in the case
of nanocomposites. Nanofiller aggregation reduces the properties of nanocomposites; in particular, it
reduces their ability to generate interfacial regions.
Assessing the setting behavior of ultra-high performance concrete

Published: July 2024

The setting behavior of ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) is demonstrably different from that of conventional concrete; thus, tools and guidance extending beyond common test methods such as Vicat and penetration are needed. While UHPC is known for its enhanced mechanical and durability properties, due to the low water and high cementitious contents, UHPC-class materials are prone to early-age autogenous shrinkage. Recognizing that UHPCs are commonly supplied to construction sites as prebagged, proprietary mixes with unknown constituents, and that accurate determination of setting time is crucial in determining the early-age autogenous shrinkage of UHPC-class materials as well as for scheduling construction operations and quality control actions, this study explores alternate test methods such as isothermal calorimetry (ASTM C1679), semi-adiabatic calorimetry (ASTM C1753), autogenous shrinkage (ASTM C1698), chemical shrinkage (ASTM C1608), and dual ring test (American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO T 363) to evaluate the setting behavior of UHPCs. Setting times obtained using the alternate test methods aligned well with each other and were found to be different than the setting times indicated through standard test methods. Discussion and guidance on the applicability and the use of alternate test methods to determine the setting time of UHPCs for various laboratory and field applications are provided.

This article analyses the extent to which the applicable legal and policy frameworks in Zimbabwe enable cities to use spatial planning to pursue the vision encapsulated in SDG 11. This article argues that although the existing legal framework makes adequate provision for features that can hypothetically guide cities to use spatial planning to pursue the vision envisaged in SDG 11, their potential is constrained by diverse factors such as lack of effective public participation in local governance, the inability of local authorities to generate sufficient revenue, systemic corruption in spatial planning processes, and under-utilisation of a flexible and accommodating legal framework. The research is based on an integrated analysis of primary and secondary sources of law.
Especies nuevas de Canavalia (Leguminosae: Papilionoideae: Phaseoleae: Diocleinae) para México y Centroamérica

Canavalia Adans. es un género de leguminosas (Leguminosae: Papilionoideae: Phaseoleae: Diocleinae) que posee, después de este trabajo, alrededor de 71 especies. Anteriormente se tenían registradas como válidas cerca de 60 especies, este género no ha sido revisado en su totalidad en los últimos años. La última revisión completa data de 1960 y fue realizada por Sauer, sin embargo, desde esa fecha hasta el presente, se han acumulado muchas colectas de lugares especialmente ricos en especies como el Centro y Occidente de México y el norte de Centroamérica, dando lugar a una acumulación de especímenes pobremente curados que, sin duda, representan algunas ampliaciones interesantes en las distribuciones, así como la adición de especies nuevas para la ciencia. Algunos de los taxones originales eran poco conocidos y otros más tenían problemas nomenclaturales y taxonómicos, habiendo sido sinonimizados por Sauer y restituidos en este trabajo. Por lo que creemos que hemos resuelto los problemas asociados a los tipos de la mayoría de las especies propuestas por Martens y Galeotti para México y Centroamérica. Se revisaron especímenes de diversos colectores acumulados cuidadosamente por más de 30 años en el Herbario Nacional de México (MEXU) por Mario Sousa Sánchez, así como material que fue detectado por él como posibles especies nuevas a través de sus visitas a otros herbarios principalmente al Jardín Botánico de Missouri (MO), la Universidad de Texas, Austin (LL) y el Jardín Botánico de Nueva York (NY); se consultó la literatura especializada, antigua y reciente, especialmente aquella referente a la publicación de nuevos taxones dentro del género. Se encontró que hay, en todo el material de herbario revisado, al menos 11 especies nuevas para la ciencia, que al menos cinco nombres antiguos sinonimizados por Sauer corresponden a especies claramente distinguibles y que varias especies presentes en el Centro y Sur de México se extienden hasta la parte norte de Centroamérica (Guatemala, Honduras y, en menor medida, El Salvador y Nicaragua), se presentan claves para los cuatro subgéneros y claves para las especies dentro de cada subgénero presentes en la región. Tres de los cuatros subgéneros están presentes en el área de estudio, faltando únicamente el subgénero Maunaloa, endémico a Hawái.
Legumes of Arizona: An Illustrated Flora and Reference
Authors: Lipscomb Barney
Published: July 2024

The Fabaceae is one of the most ecologically, economically, and agriculturally important plant families in the world. These plants are particularly significant in Arizona as many species are native and adapted to arid lands. Desert-adapted plants will become increasingly important as water issues of the state become more critical. Additionally, legumes are important and sometimes dominant components of the many biotic communities in Arizona. This manual meets a critical need for a reference on these plants in Arizona.

Albendazole plus Praziquantel versus Albendazole Alone in the Treatment of Neurocysticercosis: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis v1
Authors: Menegaz Luísa , Oliveira Caetano Gabriela
Published: July 2024

Abstract Neurocysticercosis is a parasitic neurological disease, considered by the World Health Organization (WHO) as one of the most neglected tropical diseases in the world, also being an important public health concern in Brazil. The eggs of the Taenia solium hatch and the larvae spread through highly vascularized tissues, including the brain. Most patients are asymptomatic, but in some cases, cysts can cause inflammation, which can lead to headaches, seizures, and intracranial hypertension. The preferred treatment for neurocysticercosis remains unclear: the combination therapy of albendazole plus praziquantel has been associated with greater benefits than albendazole alone.

The purpose of the research is to highlight the formation and development of the movement against nuclear energy in the USA in the 1970s and 1980s. The research methodology is based on the principle of historicism and problem-chronological and complex approaches. We used the following methods: historical and systemic – in the process of considering the movement against nuclear energy in the USA as an integrated part of the social activity of the American public in the period of the 1970s – 1980s; historical-chronological – to identify features and changes in the dynamics of the movement against atomic energy; problem-genetic – in the study of the impact on the movement of key incidents in atomic energy; comparative – to establish common and different forms, character and activity of anti-nuclear power protest organizations in the USA. The scientific novelty of the article. For the first time in Ukrainian historiography, an attempt was made to investigate the origins of the movement against nuclear energy in the USA, its dynamics and key events as one of the largest social phenomena of the country in the 1970s and 1980s. In the example of the Three Mile Island station district, the development of protest organizations and the strategy of rallying American society in the conditions of a radiation incident is traced; the impact of the Chornobyl disaster on the activation of the movement against nuclear energy in the USA was revealed. The article also shows the impact of anti-nuclear public activism on the social and political sphere of the USA. Conclusions. An organized movement against nuclear energy emerged in the mid-1970s as opposition to the development of the U.S. civilian nuclear program. The Three Mile Island incident in March 1979 undermined social confidence in the industry, fueling anti-nuclear activism. The Chornobyl disaster in Ukraine on April 26, 1986, mobilized and consolidated the movement against nuclear energy in the United States, finally halting the development of the industry for more than 30 years.

INTRODUCTION: Currently, various approaches to the treatment of intestinal failure (IF) are considered. In search for pathogenetically justified therapy, it is possible to use oxygenated saline enteral solution (OSES).
АIM: To demonstrate, by gas analysis of the introduced oxygenated saline enteral solution and the excreted intestinal fluid, the possibility of gas exchange in the intestine with increased oxygen extraction under hypoxic conditions.
An 8-year-old child with burdened premorbid history and severe community–acquired bilateral pleuropneumonia kept on mechanical ventilation, had signs of IF (disorder in passage, absence of independent defecation for more than two days). During treatment and observation of the child, enteral feeding was attempted with pharmacological stimulation with prokinetics, and introduction of laxative sorbent with prebiotic effect (lactulose). Because of non-effectiveness of these measures, it was decided to perform intestinal lavage with OSES introduced through the nasogastral tube. In 30 minites after start of OSES introduction, the gastrointestinal tract motility notably enhanced, in 1.5 hour from the beginning of the procedure, fractional passage of a significant amount of thick fecal masses was noted, after which intestinate — liquid stool stained yellow with bile, was obtained. During the procedure, a comparative analysis of the gas composition of the introduced OSES and excreted intestinate was done. In the excreted solution, 97-fold decrease of рО2 from 659 to 6.8 mm Hg, and 3.6-fold increase in CO2 tension from 23 to 85.7 mm Hg, were noted.
CONCLUSION: Oxygenation of the enteral environment by barbotage of a saline enteral solution introduced through a tube is an effective component of intensive therapy for intestinal failure syndrome, taking into account the ability of the gastrointestinal tract tissues to actively participate in gas exchange: extract oxygen and release carbon dioxide.
