Ишемическая болезнь сердца (ИБС) является ведущей причиной смертности во всем мире. Реваскуляризация миокарда на протяжении почти 50 лет остается одним из основных методов лечения ишемической болезни сердца (ИБС). Несмотря на своевременную реваскуляризацию миокарда путем операции КШ как и в экстренном и в плановом порядке, число новых коронарных событии у этих же лиц встречается значительно часто во всем мире и в том числе, и в Казахстане. В данной работе в виде литературного обзора описаны особенности новых коронарных событии, с акцентом на инфаркт миокарда, и типичные факторы риска ИБС у пациентов с ранее выполненной операцией КШ в отделанном периоде. Далее эти вопросы дают сосредоточенного внимания для разработки и совершенствования профилактических стратегий, направленных на снижение воздействия конкретных факторов риска сердечно-сосудистых заболеваний, таких как диета, образ жизни, контроль веса, приверженность лечения и т.п.

Coronary artery disease (CHD) is the leading cause of death worldwide. For almost 50 years, myocardial revascularization has remained one of the main methods of treating coronary heart disease (CHD). Despite the timely revascularization of the myocardium by CABG surgery, as well as in an emergency and in a planned manner, the number of new coronary events in the same persons occurs significantly throughout the world, including in Kazakhstan. In this paper, a literary review describes the features of new coronary events, with an emphasis on myocardial infarction, and typical risk factors for CHD in patients with a previously performed CABG operation in the remote period. These issues further provide focused attention for the development and improvement of preventive strategies aimed at reducing exposure to specific cardiovascular risk factors such as diet, lifestyle, weight management, adherence to treatment, etc.

Проведён обзор клинических исследований особенности течения ювенильной формы системной красной волчанки (СКВ) (до 18 лет), изучены наиболее эффективные и безопасные методы лечения за последние пять лет в базе данных: PubMed, Cochrane Library, Tripdatabase. Нa основании изученных материалов мы выявили, что чаще всего заболеваемость СКВ в детском возрасте приходится на препубертатный период -12,5 лет. Наиболее частой и прогностически тяжелой формой является волчаночный нефрит. В настоящее время в терапии СКВ применяются генно-инженерные биологические препараты (ГИБП), в частности Белибумаб, который является менее токсичным для детского организма и может привести к длительной ремиссии. Таким образом, ранняя диагностика и лечение СКВ может предупредить рецидивы и осложнения заболевания и улучшить прогноз у детей.

Authors: Sytnyk Hryhorii , Orel Mariia
Published: August 2021

The purpose of the article is to analyze the factors on which the stability of the social order depends and to substantiate the expediency of its priority in the sphere of national security.
The scientific novelty of the article is the justification of the interrelationship between national security and the stability of the social order in the need’s context to merge society around the goals that guarantee its security.
Conclusions. The study shows that the sustainability of the social order ensures the existence and security of society and social institutions. We analyzed the axiological dimension of social order and sustainability through the disclosure of the social function of value orientation. We see them as the basis for the choice of action of the elements of social systems. In this context, we emphasized justifying the importance of a conceptual framework for its sustainability that considers the socio-cultural specificities of society and the values of the indivisible. We have shown that the main reason for the danger of social order and stability leading to the disintegration of society is the disparity of traditional values. They inform society of the ideological principles, program goals, and legal norms concerning its existence and the development of the State, which are determined by the highest political leadership. This makes it advisable to study the social system in question, its hierarchical levels, and their interrelationships. Hierarchical levels (moral, legal, conceptual) are described, their interrelationship is described, and it shows the category of sustainability to reflect the qualitative and quantitative assessment of the social order as a social system. Level – the quality (conflict-free) of its internal structuring. Emphasis has been placed on the desirability of distinguishing, at the conceptual level, the social order from the conceptual and ideological, and programmatic aspects this ensures that political decisions are made at the strategic level of public administration and that the strategic objectives of society, the means, and means of achieving them in national security, are justified. It has been established that the most effective means of destroying the State is to generate the prerequisites for threatening the stability of the social order, Therefore, the priority task of the actors of public administration and administration is to develop and implement a set of measures aimed at structuring and harmonizing principles, values and objectives at and between hierarchical levels of social order. We have identified basic prerequisites for the effectiveness of these measures, including mutually agreed goals, timetables, means, and methods of implementing strategies for socio-political and socio-economic development.

The scientific novelty is that the changes in the aerodrome network of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine during the last 30 years are analyzed.

The aerodrome network includes airfields, maneuver, spare, advanced, rear and false. The survivability of aviation is possible to provide “dispersed by operational airfields, civil aviation aerodromes, airfields of roads on drivers, etc. The purpose of the study is to analyze the state of the aerodrome network in Ukraine, its influence on the capacity of aircraft AF of Ukraine to complete the task of appointment.

Considered how many aircraft has reached Ukraine from the Armed Forces of the USSR, and the branching of the airfield network for 1992. As of 01.01.92: the aerodrome network of military forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine accounted for 119 aerodromes. Investigated as less, at the beginning of the ATO in 2014, in the States of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, military and military transport aircraft. This led to a decrease in the number of airfields used by the AF of Ukraine. At the time of the ATO, the number of AF of Ukraine, created on the basis of Air Force and PPA, was about 43 thousand people. As part of the Ukrainian AF of Ukraine at the beginning of 2014, there were about 160 combat aircraft and 20 military transport, which are based on 20 airfields. Considered whom when the excess aerodromes of the AF of Ukraine are transmitted with.

Since the beginning of the ATO for April 2015, more than 200 units of PS equipment were restored and repaired, during 2017, another 9 airfields were repaired. The Russian military aggression AF of Ukraine used only a quarter of all military flyers in the country. At the beginning of 2018, this quantity has doubled.

Conclusions. In our opinion, instead of dismantling of runways and selling aerodrome slabs, it would be more advisable to convey aerodromes that are not used by aircraft AF of Ukraine, aircrubs, commercial firms related to aviation, provided that they will be responsible for maintaining runways, strips and equipment provided.

Published: August 2021

Recently, an emergency health problem erupted that worried the world, which is the black fungus infection associated with Covid-19, especially in India and some regions of the Middle East. The members of genus Rhizopus or Mucor resulted the common mucormycosis. Humans become infected by inhaling and depositing the spores of fungi in the tissues of the body. Rhinocerebral is the site most susceptible to infection . Several factors may have contributed to an increase in the incidence of mucormycosis in patients with COVID-19, including hypoxia, steroid-induced elevated blood glucose levels, and diminished phagocytic action of leukocytes due to immunosuppression, and non-sterile medical supplies. In addition, there is an unsanitary phenomenon resorting to some people in India, it is smearing the body with cow dung and urine, which may have a role in the spread of the black fungus infection. Proper use of both the dose and duration of steroids is essential to avoid an increase in cases of mucormycosis, especially when caring for critically ill COVID-19 patients.

Authors: Matovu Musa
Published: August 2021

There are many instruments that have been designed to measure assessment practices skills, but very few have been validated for their soundness and consistency in measuring lecturers’ assessment practices skills. This study was undertaken to examine the psychometric properties of the Assessment Practices Inventory Modified (APIM) scale, and its soundness in measuring assessment practices skills among university lecturers. A quantitative survey research design was adopted for this study. The 50-item APIM scale on a five-point Likert scale was administered to a sample of 321 lecturers randomly selected from six universities in Uganda. The data collected was analysed using WINSTEPS Rasch Measurement Modelling Program for both Classical Test Theory (CTT) and Item Response Theory (IRT) to test the psychometric properties of the APIM scale. From the results of both the CTT (Cronbach’s alpha and the point bi-serial coefficients) and IRT (category probability curve, item and persons’ reliabilities, item characteristic curve, item difficulty, fit statistics, and principal component analysis) in this study, the APIM scale was found to have adequate psychometric properties in measuring assessment practices skills among university lecturers. The APIM scale was also found to be invariant to gender of the university lecturers. In conclusion, the APIM scale has been found to be sound and consistent in measuring university lecturers’ assessment practices skills. This study has pronounced a sound and consistent instrument in measuring assessment practices skills among university lecturers in Uganda, and has provided universities in Uganda with a valid and reliable instrument which will measure assessment practices skills of their lecturers. The results of this study have highlighted that the APIM scale can universally measure assessment practices skills among university lecturers.

Authors: Hussaini Hamza
Published: August 2021

Qur’anic recitation competition is one of the new trends in the field of Qur’anic studies in Nigeria and beyond. It is one of the recent features which dominate the curriculum of Muslim education in most parts of Nigeria today. With about three decades of existence, the competition has impacted so much on the development of Qur’anic studies in particular and Islamic education in general. It also brought to the system some changes in the entire curriculum; the syllabus, the methodology of teaching, the outcome and objectives of the discipline as well as the learning environment itself. One of the apparent areas of changes brought is the student orientation and teacher-student orientation in the learning process. The competition also brought about rapid development in the study of other aspects of Qur’anic sciences which were hitherto neglected or unknown to most of the Qur’anic scholars and students. Aspects of Qur’anic sciences, such as tajwīd, the science of qira’āt, exegesis of the Qur’an etc. received robust attention by many of the scholars and students today. Bauchi metropolis in Bauchi Local Government Area of Bauchi State is one of the areas that witness the popularity and influence of Qur’anic recitation competition in its Qur’anic school system. This paper aimed at studying the phenomenon of Qur’anic Recitation Competition and its impact on the promotion / development of the study of various aspects of Qur’anic sciences in the area, from the inception of the competition in 1986 up to 2015. The methodology adopted in the research was analytical and comparative as data that were collected through observation, interviews and survey from selected Qur’anic centres within the metropolitan city of Bauchi was analysed and compared.

Authors: Mbeya Aisha
Published: August 2021

This paper presents a comparison of professional competence and attitude between teachers trained in Secondary Science and Mathematics Teachers’ (SESEMAT) Programme and those not trained in it in Eastern Uganda. The study was based on a realization that though the government provides facilitation to enable teachers undergo training through the SESEMAT programmes, teachers seem not to keenly use SESEMAT methodologies. The study was guided by two objectives: to establish whether there are differences in professional competences between SESEMAT- and non-SESEMAT- trained teachers in Uganda, and to determine whether there are differences in attitude towards teaching between SESEMAT-trained teachers and other teachers of science and mathematics. The study employed semi-experimental design. Ten secondary schools were sampled and 40 teachers were observed during lessons and also given questionnaires. Data analysis was done using the independent sample t-tests to compare the classroom professional competences and attitudes between SESEMAT-trained and non-SESEMAT-trained teachers. It was concluded that given enough time, teachers would implement SESEMAT competences / skills taught during the INSETS. The study recommended that more teachers should be encouraged to attend the SESEMAT INSETS to be able to understand the competences required during the delivery of lessons. This may help improve on the number of quality passes at Ordinary level in science subjects.

Published: August 2021

The study examined the relationship between remuneration and staff retention. Specifically, it sought to examine the relationship between monthly salary, allowances and staff fringe benefits and staff retention in private secondary schools in Mbale Municipality. A cross-sectional survey design was adopted with both quantitative and qualitative approaches. A target population of 400 and a sample size of 216 with 190 teachers, 13 head teachers and 13 school proprietors selected through stratified proportionate random sampling (teachers) and census inquiry (head teachers and school proprietors) techniques were used. Data was collected through a closed-ended questionnaire and interview guide and analysed using descriptive statistics in terms of frequencies and percentages and Pearson product-moment correlation analysis. Qualitative data was analysed through thematic and content analysis. The study revealed a strong positive significant relationship between monthly salary and staff retention (r = .540, n = 190, p < 0.05), allowances and staff retention (r = .579, n=190, p < 0.05) and staff fringe benefits and staff retention (r =.540, n=190, p < 0.05). All the three null hypotheses were rejected. It is being concluded that a strong perception of remuneration is directly related to staff retention as staff believe in being remunerated to work and after work. The study recommends that teachers’ salaries be paid timely, school authorities should develop a sound policy mechanism on allowances and they should cater for medical bills, and advocate for NSSF benefits and accommodation to improve on retention of their staff.

The study evaluated Universal Basic Education (UBE) programme at the primary school level in Lagos East Senatorial District of Nigeria. It used the descriptive design of survey type and CIPP evaluation model. The sample comprised 450 teachers and 45 head teachers using multistage sampling technique. Educational Resources Inventory Scale (ERIS) (r = 0.78) and Learning Resources Utilization Scale (LERUS) (0.69) were used in data collection. Frequency counts, simple percentages, median, mean and standard deviation were used to answer the research questions. Results of analysis showed that writing materials, multimedia learning aids, good and conducive classroom, measuring instruments like ruler, compass and instructional materials were the adequate (Median = 3.00) educational resources in primary schools located in the District. The result further showed a progressive increase (Mean > 58.04) in enrolment of pupils. Teachers were found to be adequate (Mean = 10.62) in number when compared to the national standard of 1:40 teacher-pupil ratio. However, funds for the smooth running of the schools were grossly inadequate (Mean = 1.00). Lastly, the finding revealed that teachers adequately utilized (Median = 3.00) the available educational resources in the schools. The conclusion was that resource and fund gap still widely exist among primary schools in the District. It was therefore recommended that government should be more alive to its responsibility of providing requisite educational resources in all public primary schools supported with an initiative to make funds available.

Privatization of education in both developed and developing countries over the last century has registered a positive trend in the field of education. With the rise of capitalism and privatization of higher education by the government of Uganda, there is an increasing attempt to privatize public services, including education, so that citizens will have to buy them at market value rather than have them provided by the government. The department of higher education in Uganda concentrates strongly on the role of education in servicing the economy through taxation to the neglect of its social and developmental responsibilities. The vision of the university as a place for the education of the elite and for elite education has had a powerful historical precedent in Plato’s Academy. To what extent the Platonic view of education still dominates our thinking about the role and purposes of universities is arguable. Commercialization is normalized and its operational values and purposes have been encoded in the systems of all types of universities. Correlatively, what is happening in the universities is that they are being asked to produce commercially oriented professionals rather than public-interest professionals. While this may seem like merely a change in form rather than substance, the danger with this advancing marketised individualism is that it will further weaken public interest values among those who are being educated in private universities. In this paper, the writer presents an examination on the impact of privatization of higher education on the original purpose and values of education to the individual, the society and the Ugandan nation as a whole hence promoting privatization of higher education and excellence without soul.

Pityriasis rosea, described by Gibert in 1860, is a frequent, benign, transient dermatosis, with unknown etiology that affects especially young adults. It is believed to be a consequence of a viral infection, but this argument is not convincing. We report a case of Pityriasis Rosea from Gilbert (PRG) revealing viral hepatitis B. Observation: This was a 47-year-old adult from Diago (commune of Kati), with no known medical and surgical history, who was seen for pink spots scattered throughout the trunk associated with pruritus in which the retained diagnosis was PRG. He have given vaseline with urea 5%, and Mequitazine10mg  as treatment. Facing the persistence of this pruritus despite this treatment, a biological investigation was done to look for probable etiology was requested and this led to the diagnosis of an infection with the hepatitis B virus. Conclusion: this observation should lead dermatologists to systematically search for hepatitis B viral infection when facing a PRGs that are very pruriginous and resistant to the usual treatments.Mots clés : Pityriasis rosea, Viral hepatis B

Our objective was to determine the factors influencing the adherence to the Post-Exposure Prophylaxis  at the anti-rabies Center of Bouaké. Methods: we carried out an ambispective study, based on the review of patient records from January 2014 to December 2015 and on contacting all patients by phone.Results: A total of 1487 people at risk of rabies infection received Post-Exposure Prophylaxis, whom 54, 4% abandoned their treatment. The majority of the victims was under of 15 years old (56, 8%) and was male (59, 1%). Lesions were predominantly of category III (55, 3%) and 2, 3% was located on the head. In 87% of cases, the biting animal was not properly vaccinated and 66% of the victims consulted within 48 hours after exposure. Among the exposed subjects, 54% had discontinued treatment; the main reasons were cost (76%) and neglect (28%) and it was influenced by household's average income RR=0,741; IC95%= [0,353-0,838].Conclusion: Vaccine prevention, the only effective way to prevent human rabies, faces to high drop-out rate of post-exposure prophylaxis. The main obstacles to the correct observance of this treatment are related on the one hand to the distance of care structures for the rural populations and on the other hand to financial inaccessibility.Keywords : Rabies, Post-exposure prophylaxis, Abandonment, associated factors
