Published: June 2023

BACKGROUND: Early postoperative activity, an important part of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) in clinical practice, is considered to be a significant component of postoperative quality care. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of a standardized early activity program on ERAS in patients after surgery for pulmonary nodules. METHODS: A total of 100 patients with pulmonary nodules who underwent a single-port thoracoscopic segmental resection or a wedge resection of the lung were selected for the present study. These patients were divided into a control group (n= 50) and an intervention group (n= 50) by a digital random method. The patients in the control group received routine perioperative nursing intervention for thoracic surgery due to lung cancer, and those in the intervention group received an intervention using a standardized early activity program along with routine nursing care. The evaluation indexes in both groups included postoperative indwelling time of the closed chest drainage tube, the time to the first off-bed activity after surgery, the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications, the length of postoperative hospital stay, and patient satisfaction. RESULTS: The postoperative indwelling time of the closed chest drainage tube and the time to the first off-bed activity in the intervention group were less than in the control group. The length of the postoperative hospital stay in the intervention group was shorter than in the control group, and the patient satisfaction in the intervention group was higher than in the control group. The difference for these evaluation indexes were statistically significant (P< 0.05). The number of cases of postoperative complications was four and eight in the intervention group and the control group, respectively, and the difference was not statistically significant (P> 0.05). CONCLUSION: A standardized early activity program is a safe and effective nursing measure for ERAS for patients after surgery for pulmonary nodules, which can promote earlier off-bed activity, shorten the postoperative indwelling time of the closed chest drainage tube, shorten the postoperative hospital stay, improve patient satisfaction, and promote rapid recovery.

Authors: Gu Jun-Hua , Li Wen-Qi , Chen Chuan-Jun
Published: June 2023

BACKGROUND: Whole-process management is a novel approach widely applied in industry and commerce; however, it is not widely used in the management of medical records in hospitals. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study is to investigate the application of whole-process control in the administration of a hospital’s medical records department to achieve refined management of medical records. METHODS: Whole-process control is a management measure that begins with process conception and implementation and includes control over all processes. The control group included medical records that were created prior to the implementation of whole-process control, i.e., those created between June 1 and December 31, 2020. The observation group included medical records that were created after the implementation of whole-process control. The behavior of the medical records staff (in terms of medical record collection, sorting, entry, inquiry, and supply) and the final quality of the medical records (the number of grade-A medical records and their front-page quality) were compared between the two groups, and subjective judgments related to staff satisfaction were reviewed. RESULTS: The implementation of whole-process control improved the behavior of the medical records staff. The final quality of the medical records was also improved, as was the job satisfaction of the medical records staff. CONCLUSION: Implementing whole-process control improved the management of medical records and quality of medical records.

Authors: Wu Jiaqi , Wang Xiujing , Jiang Jiuhui , Bai Yunyang
Published: June 2023

BACKGROUND: Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is a polyaromatic semi-crystalline thermoplastic polymer with mechanical and lubrication properties favorable for biomedical applications. Despite of its aesthetic appearance, ceramic brackets are unsatisfactory in brittleness and thickness, while PEEK is a potential material for aesthetic orthodontic brackets. OBJECTIVE: To fabricate a novel aesthetic orthodontic bracket and evaluate friction properties of PEEK and stainless steel wires. METHODS: All polyether ether ketone (PEEK) and ceramic samples disks were made into disks (diameter, 5 mm; thickness, 2 mm). The tested surfaces of PEEK were ground with #600, #800 and #1200 SiC papers, followed by polishing with Sof-Lex kit (3M ESPE, USA). The surface roughness was tested using a laser profilometer device (VK-X200, Keyence, Japan). The COFs of the specimens and stainless steel (SS) archwires were tested using a Universal Micro-Tribotester (UMT-3, Bruker, USA). The wear scratches on the materials’ surfaces were examined by using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) (Hitachi SU8010). The elastic modulus and hardness of samples were examined with a nano-indenter (XP, Keysight Technologies, USA). RESULTS: The mean surface roughness of PEEK and Ceramic are 0.320 ± 0.028 μm and 0.343 ± 0.044 μm, respectively. PEEK has a lower Friction coefficient than Ceramic and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P< 0.05). The abrasive wear of Ceramic was the main wear style and was characterized by the observation of chipping fractures, while PEEK surface looked smooth without obvious scale-like desquamations and granular debris, indicating adhesive wear. CONCLUSION: Within the limitations of the present study, PEEK shows lower coefficient of friction than ceramic. PEEK has excellent properties such as low friction coefficient, smooth surface and good mechanical properties, and thus meets the requirements for orthodontic brackets. It is considered as a potential bracket material with both low friction and aesthetic performance.

Published: June 2023

BACKGROUND: Lung cancer is prone to metastasize to the brain, which is difficult for surgery and leads to poor prognosis due to poor chemotherapy efficacy. OBJECTIVE: Our aim is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for brain multi-metastases. METHODS: In the retrospective study, a total of 51 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with brain multi-metastases (3–5 metastases) receiving SBRT in the local hospital between 2016 and 2019 were enrolled for analyzing the efficacy and safety of SBRT. The primary endpoints included 1-year local control rate, radiotherapy toxicity, overall survival and progression-free survival. RESULTS: The median follow-up for the enrolled patients was 21 months, and the 1-year and 2-year OS rates were 82.4% and 45.1%, respectively. Demographic analysis showed no significant differences between SBRT alone and combination with whole brain radiotherapy in clinical characteristics including age, gender and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status. The 1-year local control rate was 77.3% (17/22) for SBRT alone, which was comparable to 79.3% (23/29) of combined radiotherapy. Cox proportional hazard regression demonstrated that the prognostic benefit of combining WBRT was not significantly superior to SBRT alone (HR = 0.851, P= 0.263). Their radiotherapy toxicity rate was lower in SBRT alone group (13.6%, vs. 44.8% for combination; P= 0.017). CONCLUSION: The current research suggested that SBRT alone could effectively relieve tumor burden and improve the prognosis and quality of life for NSCLC patients with brain multi-metastases, which should be validated in further prospective clinical trials.

BACKGROUND: In malignant tumours of the female reproductive system, cervical cancer is second only to breast cancer, seriously threatening the health and safety of most women. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the clinical value of 3.0 T multimodal nuclear magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics’ (FIGO) staging of cervical cancer. METHODS: The clinical data of 30 patients with pathologically diagnosed cervical cancer admitted to our hospital from January 2018 to August 2022 were analysed retrospectively. Before treatment, all patients were examined with conventional MRI, diffusion-weighted imaging and multi-directional contrast-enhanced imaging. RESULTS: The accuracy of multimodal MRI in the FIGO staging of cervical cancer (29/30, 96.7%) was significantly higher than the accuracy obtained in a control group (21/30, 70.0%), with a statistically significant difference (p= 0.013). In addition, there was good agreement between two observers applying multimodal imaging (kappa= 0.881) and moderate agreement between two observers in the control group (kappa= 0.538). CONCLUSION: Multimodal MRI can evaluate cervical cancer comprehensively and accurately to enable accurate FIGO staging, providing significant evidence for clinical operation planning and subsequent combined therapy.

Published: June 2023

This study aimed to evaluate the production and quality of açaí seedlings regarding the presence and absence of controlled-release fertilization under different shading levels. The study was conducted at the experimental field of Embrapa - Acre, using a completely randomized design in a 4 x 4 factorial arrangement. The factors included four evaluation periods (60, 120, 180, and 240 days after transplanting) and four shading environments (20%, 30%, 50%, and 75%), along with the presence or absence of controlled-release fertilization. The following variables were analyzed: plant height, stem diameter, number of leaves, dry mass of leaves, stem, root, and total dry mass, as well as the seedling quality index and foliar levels of macro and micronutrients. The growth and development of açaí seedlings are influenced by the evaluation periods, shade environments, and the use of fertilization. Fertilization with controlled-release fertilizer and environments with30% and 50% shading improved the quality of açaí palm seedlings.

Published: June 2023

Identifying and categorizing a brain tumor is a crucial stage in enhancing knowledge of its underlying mechanisms. Brain tumor detection is one of the most complex challenges in modern medicine. There are a variety of diagnostic imaging techniques that may be used to locate malignancies in the brain. MRI technique has the unparallel image quality and hence serves the purpose. Deep learning methods put at the forefront have facilitated the new paradigm of automated medical image identification approaches. Therefore, reliable and automated categorization techniques are necessary for decreasing the mortality rate in humans caused by this significant chronic condition. To solve a binary problem involving MRI scans that either show or don’t show brain tumors, we offer an automatic classification method in this paper that uses a computationally efficient CNN. The goal is to determine whether the image shows brain tumors. We use the Br35H benchmark dataset for experimentation, freely available on the Internet. We augment the dataset before training to enhance accuracy and reduce time consumption. The experimental evaluation of statistical measures like accuracy, recall, precision, F1 score, and loss suggests that the proposed model outperforms other state-of-the-art methods.
Análisis de políticas públicas relacionadas con el mejoramiento de vida de adultos mayores durante la pandemia por COVID-19 en la provincia del Carchi.
Authors: López Cadena Yessenia Katherine , Ramos Guerrero Fernanda Catalina
Published: June 2023

Las políticas públicas son herramientas indispensables para lograr una buena administración de recursos, así como la satisfacción de las necesidades ciudadanas. En el caso de los adultos mayores, un grupo vulnerable que precisa mayores atenciones por sus requerimientos específicos, estas se configuran como medios para garantizarles una existencia digna. En la presente investigación, se diagnosticó la política pública referente al mejoramiento de la calidad de vida de este grupo de atención prioritaria en la provincia de Carchi durante la pandemia. La muestra estuvo constituida por 383 personas adultas mayores pertenecientes al Registro Social y asociaciones independientes locales. Los resultados demostraron diferencias significativas entre las políticas públicas y su incidencia para mejorar las condiciones de vida de esta población, puesto que la gestión del momento priorizó la continuidad de los programas y proyectos ya existentes, pero no la creación de propuestas adecuadas al contexto de la pandemia. Esto provocó un déficit de atención y acompañamiento hacia los adultos mayores, traducido en afecciones a su salud física y emocional. Además, se determinó la falta de homogeneidad en el servicio a nivel provincial, puesto que no todas las parroquias cuentan con promotoras que apoyen a los adultos mayores. A partir de la identificación de políticas públicas dirigidas a este colectivo social y el análisis de la gestión realizada por el Ministerio de Inclusión Económica y Social como entidad rectora del cuidado de grupos de atención prioritaria, se plantea la construcción de una propuesta de política pública provincial de protección para el adulto mayor. Finalmente, se concluye que las instituciones públicas competentes deben procurar una gestión adecuada, para solventar las necesidades relacionadas con la calidad de vida e integración social de los adultos mayores.

Authors: Strelko Oleh , Horban Anatolii
Published: June 2023

In this article, using real historical examples, the authors tried to trace the evolution of personal protective equipment. This has made it possible to perform a comparative historical analysis of the development of scientific research and industrial technologies, which made it possible to manufacture specific personal protective equipment in a certain historical period. Also in this review article, the authors have analyzed the stages of modern technologies that are currently used in the manufacture of various types of bulletproof vest. And given that the overwhelming majority of authors of publications devoted to the history of the creation of bulletproof vests write that: the bulletproof vest does not have a specific inventor, in this review article the authors also talk about specific, undeservedly forgotten now, the creators of the world's first officially patented prototypes of bulletproof vests for the police and VIP-persons, at the beginning of the 20th century, who stood at the origins of the bulletproof vest industry. With the development of the industrial revolution and technological progress, new materials and production technologies have appeared, allowing the creation of more effective bulletproof vest. Bulletproof vest has become lighter and more effective over time, thanks to the use of new materials such as Kevlar, aramid fibers and ceramics. Thus, the history of the development of bulletproof vest includes the contribution of many scientists, engineers and inventors who have contributed to the improvement of protective armor over the years. In the article, the authors show that modern realities put forward new requirements for quality, weight and functional characteristics for design engineers and manufacturers of bulletproof vest. The authors of the article analyze the main directions in which research work is currently underway to improve bulletproof vests. The authors of the article show that in different countries of the world there are different standards and classifications for bulletproof vest. Each standard usually has its own classification, which determines the level of protection of bulletproof vest against specific types of threats, such as bullets, shrapnel or stab wounds. Therefore, the task of developing a single standard for modern bulletproof vest is important.

When breeding dairy cattle, productivity is of the greatest economic and economic importance. A sufficient number of highly productive animals and their effective use in herds reveals the breed's potential, contributes to increasing the genetic potential of cows and the effectiveness of selection and breeding work as a whole. At the same time, it should be noted that according to many scientists, fathers of cows have the most significant influence on the formation of signs of milk productivity. In dairy cattle breeding, about 90 % of the genetic progress of the population is provided by bulls. However, the research of different farms shows that bulls do not have the same effect on the productivity of their daughters. Therefore, it must be taken into account when planning work on improving the productive qualities of dairy cattle. In view of the above, the goal of our research was to find out the influence of bulls on the formation of milk productivity of daughters in different farms. The research was carried out in farms located in different climatic zones of Ukraine, namely: in the SE EF “Olexandrivske” in Vinnytsia region (Forest Steppe zone, n = 714), LLC AE “Imeni Volovikova” in Rivne region (Polyssia zone, n = 1840) and SE “Experimental farm “Askaniyske” (Steppe zone, n = 926) on first-calf heifers and adult cows (III lactation) of the Ukrainian Black-and-White dairy breed. It was established that during the first lactation, the highest milk yield and milk fat output in the SE Oleksandrivske were characterized by the daughters of the bull Dzhorin (6936 and 248.9 kg), during the third – the daughters of the bull Detektiv (8148 and 295.2 kg), and the most fat-milk the above lactations were, respectively, daughters of Zhames (3.68 %) and S. Aristotl (3.63 %). In LLC AE “Imeni of Volovikova” the daughters of the bull R. Baltimor (7509 and 7486 kg and 267.8 and 281.9 kg, respectively) had the highest milk yield and milk fat output for the two studied lactations, daughters of Derbi (3.74 %) for the first lactation had the best indicators of fat content in the milk, for the third – daughters of Tirs (3.64 %). In the SE "Experimental Farming “Askaniyske” first-calf heifers – daughters of N. Bolt were the most productive (7348 kg), in terms of milk fat output - daughters of Surguch (292.2 kg), and in terms of milk fat – daughters of Latur (4.31 %). The highest productivity during the third lactation was observed in the daughters of the bull Akord (8,329 kg of milk fat, 320.8 kg of milk fat), and the highest milk fat content was observed in the daughters of Polarshtern (4.37 %). The influence of bulls on the fertility of cows in controlled farms was in the range of 14.9–46.2 %, on the fat content in milk - in the range of 7.4–20.2 %.
Ways of growth stimulation of piglets with the help of biologically active drugs
Authors: Pohorilska V. , Farionik T.
Published: June 2023

Providing the population of Ukraine with meat and meat products largely depends on the efficiency of the pig industry, one of the urgent problems of which is the increase in pork production. There are many problematic stages in pig farming, one of which is raising suckling piglets, the complexity of which is determined by a number of physiological features of the development of the body of newborn piglets. During the period of intrauterine development and in the first days of life, piglets receive nutrients exclusively from the sow. Therefore, improving the rations of farrowing and suckling sows in a certain way affects the fertility, growth, and survival of piglets. An important place in this belongs to mineral nutrition. One of the ways to eliminate mineral deficiency in feed is the use of mineral additives. Among the wide arsenal of biologically active substances used to regulate metabolic processes in the body, drugs of complex action are of particular importance. Today, there are relatively inexpensive fertilizers based on natural minerals, which include trace elements and amino acids. The balance of rations in terms of biologically active substances remains an important factor affecting animal productivity. In a number of studies, it has been proven that the use of chelated compounds of microelements as a feed additive ensures better assimilation of metals than when they are introduced into the diet in an inorganic form, which in turn helps to achieve higher productivity in animals, as well as reducing feed costs per unit of production. Therefore, the development of new biotechnological methods of stimulating growth, increasing the percentage of survival of suckling piglets, and improving the reproductive capacity of sows using biologically active substances is relevant. A necessary condition for the normal development of piglets and the recovery of sows in the postpartum period is their full feeding, in particular, balanced feed in terms of macro- and microelements. After all, mineral substances take an active part in metabolic processes, activate the functions of hormones, vitamins, and enzymes, contribute to increased digestibility and utilization of nutrients in diets, better provision of intrauterine development of offspring, the birth of physiologically mature piglets, more intensive growth and development after birth. The significant influence of trace elements on physiological processes is explained by the fact that they are part of the so-called accessory substances: vitamins, hormones, enzymes, and coen-zymes involved in the regulation of vital processes. In addition, they affect the formation of cellular immunity of newborn piglets. In this regard, in recent years much attention has been paid to the study of the influence of various vitamin and mineral supplements of organic origin on the productivity of animals.

Published: June 2023

Spices have been reported to impart nutrients, improve shelf life and overall sensory properties of foods. The incorporation of naturally occurring materials like spices in food production has proved to be a promising alternative to the use of chemicals due to public health concern. The effects of aqueous extract of Aframomum danielli at varying level of concentration on the nutritional, microbial and sensory properties of fura were investigated and analysed using standard methods. The moisture, protein, fat, crude fibre and ash content of the fura samples ranged from 51.39-54.62%, 7.49-12.02%, 1.41-1.80%, 0.41-0.99% and 0.19-0.57% respectively. The calcium, sodium, potassium, iron, manganese, magnesium and phosphorus content of the fura samples ranged from 1.9-2.4 mg/100g, 0.94-1.2 mg/100g, 0.23-0.29 mg/100g, 48.25-63.2 mg/Kg, 8.25-8.86 mg/kg, 1225-1352.7 mg/kg and 16.72-18.44 mg/kg respectively. The bacteria and mould count ranged from 15-30 x 105 cfu/g and 10-20 x 105 cfu/g respectively. The bacteria count of the untreated fura increased 10-fold while the mould count tripled after 48 hours of production. There existed significant differences (P>0.05) between the untreated and treated fura samples in all the parameters examined. The treated fura samples compared favourably with untreated sample in all the sensory properties evaluated, while being more acceptable after 48 hours of production. The use of the aqueous extract of Aframomum danielli brought about a general increase in the nutritional properties of fura samples, reduced microbial load, thus improve shelf stability and general acceptability of fura analysed.

Authors: El-Jaziz Anas , Lotfi Said
Published: June 2023

Objective: During the past decades, several studies have explored individuals’ differences and their impact on scholarly achievement. The effect of circadian preference and personality on academic performance has been studied in different countries. However, studies have yet to analyze these variables in the Moroccan context (North West Africa) and test whether academic performance relates to circadian types and personality traits. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between those variables in young active students.Methods: This study included 167 Moroccan active students (age=16.34 years; SD=1.2). The personality trait was measured with Big Five Questionnaire for Children (BFQ-C). We also assessed the circadian typology by using Morningness–Eveningness Questionnaire (MEQ). School grades were used to calculate academic success (grade point average [GPA]). We investigated the relationships between all the parameters.Results: This study indicates a significant difference in Big Five factors between athlete groups of chronotype. GPA is significantly related positively to MEQ score and openness but negatively to neuroticism. However, no correlation was observed with the other significant five factors.Conclusion: Professionals must consider circadian preferences and personality traits when looking to facilitate students’ scholarly achievement.
Resting State Electroencephalographic Gamma Activity Is Associated With Circadian Preference in Patients With Depression
Authors: Park Young-Min
Published: June 2023

Objective: This study aimed to investigate whether there is a relationship between an individual’s circadian preference and differences in quantitative electroencephalography (QEEG) during the daytime, specifically in patients with mood disorders.Methods: The participants with major depressive disorder, bipolar I disorder, and bipolar II disorder, who had experienced major depressive episodes, were categorized into two or three groups based on their morningness-eveningness preference using the Korean version of the Composite Scale of Morningness (KCSM). The study examined the power of different QEEG bands, such as alpha, beta, theta, delta, and gamma, in the frontal cortex of these patients.Results: The findings indicated that individuals with eveningness preference had significantly lower power in the high gamma band of the right prefrontal cortex compared to those with morningness preference. The average of high gamma powers in the total frontal cortex was also found to be different between the groups. Furthermore, the study revealed a significant association between K-CSM scores and high gamma power, as well as a history of suicide attempts.Conclusion: These results suggest that QEEG may serve as a potential biomarker for circadian preference and suicidality in patients with mood disorders.

Authors: Heo Jun-Mu , Cho Seo-Eun , Kang Seung-Gul
Published: June 2023

Objective: The discrepancy between self-reported subjective sleep time and objective sleep time varies from person to person, and the mechanism that can explain this discrepancy is unclear. This study aimed to investigate the difference in the spectral power of sleep electroencephalography (EEG) according to the estimation of total sleep time (TST).Methods: Of the 4,080 participants in the Sleep Heart Health Study, 2,363 participants with complete data from polysomnography, morning sleep survey, and spectral power of sleep EEG were included in the analysis. The participants were classified as normo-estimators (estimation of TST <±60 min), under-estimators (underestimation of TST ≤60 min), or over-estimators (overestimation of TST ≥60 min). A fast Fourier transformation was used to calculate the EEG power spectrum for total sleep duration within contiguous 30-s epochs of sleep. The sleep EEG spectral power was compared among the groups after adjusting for potential confounding factors, such as age, sex, proportion of participants with insomnia, apnea-hypopnea index, and TST.Results: Of the 2,363 participants, 1,507 (63.8%), 412 (17.4%), and 444 (18.8%) were assigned to the normo-, under-, and over-estimator groups, respectively. The power spectra during total sleep differed significantly among the groups in the delta (p=0.008) and theta bands (p=0.017) after controlling for potential confounders.Conclusion: Higher delta and theta powers were found in the under-estimators than in the over-estimators. This study suggests that differences exist in the microstructures of polysomnography-derived sleep EEG between these two groups. This study suggests that differences exist in the microstructures of polysomnography-derived sleep EEG based on differences in sleep time estimation.

Published: June 2023

Objective: This study aimed to examine the association between insomnia symptoms, sub-symptoms of panic disorder, and depressive symptoms in patients with panic disorder.Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted with 192 patients diagnosed with panic disorder. Data on panic disorder severity, anxiety sensitivity, agoraphobia, insomnia severity, and depressive symptoms were collected using psychological instruments. Correlation analysis and logistic regression were employed to analyze the relationships between the variables.Results: Patients with panic disorder accompanied by significant depressive symptoms had a higher prevalence of insomnia, younger age, and more severe panic symptoms. Logistic regression analysis revealed an independent association between insomnia symptoms and the presence of depressive symptoms in panic disorder patients. Specific panic disorder sub-symptoms, such as fear of publicly observable anxiety reactions and fear of cognitive dyscontrol, exhibited stronger associations with depressive symptoms than overall panic severity.Conclusion: The findings suggest a significant association between insomnia, specific panic disorder sub-symptoms, and depressive symptoms in patients with panic disorder. Addressing insomnia and cognitive symptoms may be crucial in managing panic disorder and preventing depressive symptoms. Psychological interventions, particularly cognitive behavioral therapy, targeted at these factors could improve outcomes for panic disorder patients.

Background

One in six five 16-year-olds have a probable mental health difficulty. Of these, almost half of older teenagers and a quarter of 11–16-year-olds report having self-harmed or attempted suicide. Currently, there is little research into mental health crisis services for young people, with little understanding of what services exist, who uses them, or what works best.

Question

‘How are mental health crisis responses for children and young people up to the age of 25 sustained, experienced and integrated within their local systems of services’?

Objectives

To describe National Health Service (NHS), local authority, education and third sector approaches to the implementation and organisation of crisis care for children and young people across England and Wales.

To identify eight contrasting case studies in which to evaluate how crisis services have developed and are currently organised, sustained, experienced and integrated within the context of their local systems of services.

To compare and contrast these services in the context of the available international evidence, drawing out and disseminating clear implications for the design and delivery of future crisis responses for children and young people and their families.

Methods

A sequential mixed methods approach, underpinned by normalisation process theory will be employed. A survey will create a detailed record of how crisis responses across England and Wales are organised, implemented and used. Subsequently, eight contrasting services in relation to geographic and socioeconomic setting, populations served, and service configuration will be identified as case studies. Interviews will be conducted with children, young people and parents/carers who have used the service, as well as commissioners, managers and practitioners. Operational policies and service usage data will also be examined. Analysis of how each service is provided, experienced, implemented and sustained will be conducted both inductively and deductively, reflecting normalisation process theory constructs.

Artykuł analizuje wpływ nowych informacji, które dotyczą polityki pieniężnej w dużych gospodarkach rozwiniętych, na polskie rynki finansowe. Autorka bada międzynarodowe efekty polityki pieniężnej Systemu Rezerwy Federalnej Stanów Zjednoczonych i Europejskiego Banku Centralnego, dokonując rozróżnienia między efektami polityki pieniężnej a szokami informacyjnymi banku centralnego. Wyniki badania pokazują, że międzynarodowe efekty polityki pieniężnej Stanów Zjednoczonych są silniejsze i znacząco wpływają na stopy zwrotu polskich obligacji rządowych i przedsiębiorstw, ceny akcji i kurs walutowy w tygodniach po publikacji. Jednocześnie szoki informacyjne, do których dochodzi po publikacjach Europejskiego Banku Centralnego, również istotnie wpływają na polskie rynki finansowe. Wyniki te mogą mieć ciekawe konsekwencje w kontekście funkcjonowania i analizy rynków finansowych w małej gospodarce otwartej.

У статті розкрито соціально-психологічні засади збереження професійного здоровʼя фахівців медичної галузі. Теоретико-методологічний аналіз підходів до проблеми дослідження показав, що наразі надзвичайно актуальними є питання професійного здоровʼя фахівців медичної галузі, яке розглядається як здатність зберігати й активізувати необхідні компенсаторні, захисні, регуляторні механізми, що відповідають вимогам професійної діяльності і забезпечують професійну надійність, високу працездатність, ефективність і розвиток особистості фахівця медичної сфери в усіх умовах протікання його професійної діяльності. Показано, що у контексті вивчення професійного здоровʼя зазначена професійна група фахівців є особливо вразливою з точки зору підвищених вимог до їх професійної компетенції і до самовіддачі; відповідальності за життя і здоровʼя інших людей, і, як наслідок, високої ймовірності виникнення синдрому професійного вигорання. Наголошується, що важливою у контексті дослідження є концепція психологічного забезпечення професійної діяльності фахівців медичної галузі, що базується на комплексному підході до вивчення їх професійного здоровʼя на його фізичному, психологічному та соціальному рівнях, а також соціально-психологічний супровід фахівців-медиків на різних етапах їх професіоналізації.
Розроблено інтегровану соціально-психологічну програму збереження професійного здоров’я фахівців медичної галузі, реалізовану з позицій системного, субʼєктно-діяльнісного, особистісно-компетентнісного та інтегративного підходів із задіянням емоційно-оцінної, інструментальної та інформаційної соціальної підтримки і комплексу інноваційних соціально-психологічних технологій особистісної та міжособистісної спрямованості, впроваджену у блоках системної інтеграції особистості; емоційної саморегуляції; розвитку навичок саморегуляції; соціальної адаптації та ефективної комунікації; розширення проактивних поведінкових стратегій. Ефективність запропонованої програми доведена підвищенням показників стресостійкості, емоційної та вольової регуляції, життєстійкості, параметрів самоактуалізації; зниженням показників фрустрованості, особистісної та ситуативної тривожності, професійного (емоційного) вигорання; збільшенням показників соціальної егрічності, здатності до антиципування, поліваріантності прогнозування та планування перебігу подій; використанням проактивних стратегій опанувальної поведінки, що сприяло підвищенню показників професійного здоровʼя фахівців медичної галузі та покращенню їх соціального функціонування в цілому.
Ключові слова: фахівці медичної галузі, професійне здоровʼя, збереження професійного здоровʼя, психопрофілактика, психокорекція.

У звʼязку з цим, необхідно враховувати можливості сучасного розвитку суспільства та використовувати Інтернет-мережу для організації соціально-психологічної підтримки обдарованої учнівської молоді. Соціально-психологічна підтримка обдарованої учнівської молоді є безперервним чітко організованим процесом з урахуванням специфіки розвитку обдарованої особистості на різних вікових етапах за участі всіх соціальних інститутів. Метою соціально-психологічної підтримки обдарованої учнівської молоді постає створення умов для становлення обдарованої особистості, визнання її унікальності, індивідуальності, розкриття та підтримка її актуальних і потенційних можливостей у процесі соціалізації. Визначено напрями соціально-психологічної підтримки обдарованої учнівської молоді: організація процесу вияву та відбору обдарованих учнів під час навчання в закладі освіти; вибір і реалізація спеціальних програм, що відповідають потребам осіб із надзвичайними здібностями; підтримка та стимулювання розвитку здібностей обдарованих; організація позанавчальної діяльності обдарованої учнівської молоді; комплексна допомога обдарованій учнівській молоді для створення сприятливих соціально-психологічних умов в закладах освіти; забезпечення різних форм оптимізації взаємодії учнівської молоді з найближчим оточенням; запобігання відчуженню обдарованої учнівської молоді від соціального середовища; консультування та просвітницька робота з батьками й фахівцями щодо вироблення стилю ефективного спілкування з обдарованою учнівською молоддю, а також діагностики обдарованості; запобігання формуванню негативного ставлення до обдарованої учнівської молоді; культурно-просвітницька діяльність серед населення з метою забезпечення прийняття обдарованої учнівської молоді, особливостей її поведінки, інтересів тощо; допомога в розв’язанні конфліктів; матеріальне й моральне стимулювання обдарованої учнівської молоді тощо.
