Цель исследования — определение условий и вариантов согласования противоречивых интересов руководства и работников арабских отелей, способов удержания сотрудников и достижения баланса социальной и трудовой компонент в системе их отношений на основе анализа одного из определяющих факторов — удовлетворенности трудом.

Методологическая база исследования представлена конвергенцией ряда теорий и концепций экономики труда, в том числе регулирования социально-трудовых отношений, системного и ресурсно-результативного подходов.

Результаты исследования. Под влиянием текущих кризисных факторов и во многом обусловленных ими внутренних проблем в системе социально-трудовых отношений в организациях туристической сферы (в частности отелях) арабских стран в последние годы в их индустрии гостеприимства текучесть кадров стала большой проблемой, что требует реализации комплекса мер по удержанию имеющейся и найму новой рабочей силы. Для этого в исследовании на примере Катара изучаются такие сопряженные с данной проблемой вопросы, как удовлетворенность работой, стимулы, продвижение по службе, формирование привлекательной рабочей среды и внедрение различных механизмов поддержки работников со стороны руководителей для удержания сотрудников в отелях. Результаты исследования показали, что продвижение по службе является наиболее влиятельным аспектом удовлетворенности работой для удержания сотрудников, за ним следуют рабочая среда, стимулы и поддержка руководителя. В статье рекомендуется пересмотреть политику, связанную с поощрениями и вознаграждениями, чтобы они были больше связаны с объективной оценкой эффективности деятельности работников. Важно также сосредоточить внимание лиц, отвечающих за управление кадрами отелей, на улучшении координации между различными отделами и повышении уровня связи между ними, чтобы обеспечить рабочий процесс с требуемой эффективностью, и, наконец, сосредоточить внимание на обучении менеджеров и руководителей для создания хороших отношений со своими подчиненными и поддержания устойчивости этих отношений.

Перспективы исследования заключаются в разработке и апробации подхода к достижению баланса интересов в рамках всей системы социально-трудовых отношений в сфере гостиничной индустрии.

Follicular lymphoma (FL) is the most common indolent form of lymphoma and characterized by recurrent course and heterogenous clinical signs. Selection of treatment program for patients with newly diagnosed or recurrent FL is based primarily on the size of the tumor. While use of rituximab-containing regimens led to increased progression-free survival, in some cases tumors are refractory to rituximab. Understanding of molecular mechanisms of FL pathogenesis and action of anti-CD20 monoclonal antibodies allowed to develop new drugs with several advantages compared to rituximab. According to the data of large randomized trials, use of glycoengineered monoclonal anti-CD20 type II antibody obinutuzumab in combination with chemotherapy in patients with FL has manageable toxicity profile and longer progression-free survival and event-free survival compared to use of rituximab.

Objective. To evaluate the effectiveness of dental orthopedic treatment in patients with complete absence of teeth using removable plate prostheses applying integral qualitative and evaluative indicators. The relevance of the study is dictated by the need to improve the quality of orthopedic treatment in patients with complete absence of teeth, through the introduction of new composite materials, the use of which provides high strength of prosthetic structures. For an objective assessment of the effectiveness of dental orthopedic treatment of patients using removable plate prostheses, integral approaches based on the calculation of qualitative and evaluative indicators have been modified.

Materials and methods. In order to improve the quality of orthopedic treatment of patients with complete absence of teeth, a design of a complete removable plate prosthesis with a combined basis and a method of its manufacture based on the use of digital technologies was developed. In the course of the work, the evaluation of the effectiveness of treatment in patients with complete absence of teeth in the long-term follow-up using integral qualitative and evaluative indicators was carried out.

Results. Clinical and laboratory stages of manufacturing a new design combining analog and digital metols were developed and tested. As a result of clinical studies, it was found that the type of construction of a complete removable plate prosthesis does not significantly affect the indicator of the integral assessment of the quality of orthopedic treatment, with the exception of the criterion of the prosthesis integrity.

Conclusions. To conclude, it was found that the type of construction of a complete removable plate prosthesis does not significantly affect the integral assessment of the quality of orthopedic treatment, except for the criterion of the integrity of the prosthesis; the introduction of a composite material based on fiberglass into the design of a combined prosthesis allows to improve the strength properties of the prosthesis basis and increase the performance characteristics of the structure. The use of CAD / CAM technologies provides the possibility of using high-strength composite materials, gives sufficient accuracy in the manufacture of the frame of a combined full removable plate prosthesis. Due to satisfactory physical and mechanical properties, the application of the developed design contributes to the predicted increase in the durability of prostheses.

Authors: Malyutina N. N. , Sedinina N. S. , Paramonova S. V.
Published: March 2023

Objective. To study the psychovegetative status of underground miners and form psychological support algorithms to identify the risk for developing hypertension. Hypertension occupies a leading place in the structure of cardiovascular diseases, and determining the risk of its development is of great preventive importance for professional longevity. The study of the psychovegetative status to identify the risk of this pathology corresponds to modern diagnostic approaches within the framework of industrial corporate programs.
Materials and methods. There were examined 109 male underground miners of the enterprise for the extraction of chromium ore. The patients were divided into two groups: the main group 60 men working in underground conditions, whose work is classified as "harmful" (class 3.33.4); the comparison group 49 men engaged in ground works, the conditions of which are classified as class 3.2. The main group was divided into two subgroups: I workers under 45 years old (n = 20, age 38.45 2.95 years), II over 45 years old (n = 40, age 50.90 1.46 years.); the comparison group was divided accordingly (23 employees, aged 38.0 2.8 years, experience 9.3 1.5 years; comparison group 45 years and 26 employees, aged 49.2 2.1 years, experience 24.0 1.8 years; comparison group 45 years). A complex of research methods was used: analytical (analysis of special assessment cards of working conditions, sociodemographic questionnaires), psychophysiological, functional and clinical and laboratory diagnostics, mathematical statistics (ROC analysis, multivariate logistic regression).
Results. In two subgroups, two phenotypes were identified; in group I, there was a correlation of psychovegetative indicators with age and experience, and in group II a negative correlation. It has been proved that, depending on age, the psychologically realized adaptive phenotype is transformed into a psychosomatic one.
Conclusions. Diagnostics of phenotype transformation formed the basis of the developed algorithms for psychological support, which makes it possible to assess the risk for developing arterial hypertension.

Published: March 2023

Objective. To study and analyze the clinical and epidemiological picture of the incidence of enterobiosis in children living in the Astrakhan Region for 20172021.
Materials and methods. During the work, epidemiological maps of persons with a confirmed diagnosis of Enterobiosis were analyzed, which was identified on the basis of laboratory data (detection of pinworm eggs in perianal folds and feces).
Results. From 2017 to 2021, in the Astrakhan Region, 12 627 cases of human infection with helminth-protozoal infestations were registered, of which 94.9 % (11 982 cases) were children under the age of 17. The share of cases of enterobiosis in children in the structure of the total childhood parasitic morbidity for the analyzed period was 84.1 % (10 071 cases). Thus, enterobiosis was registered in all age groups, most often occurring in children aged 7 to 17 years 59.1 % (5950 cases). A slightly smaller number of cases of enterobiosis was registered in children aged from 1 to 7 years 40.0 % (4026 cases); a minimum of enterobiosis cases was registered in children aged 5 to 12 months 0.9 % (95 cases). Enterobiosis was identified both in urban and rural areas, most often detected in children living in the rural areas of the Astrakhan region 53.5 % (5,393 cases).
Enterobiosis was diagnosed during preventive examinations before going to school or kindergarten 72.7 % (7325 cases). Another part of the children 20.4 % (2053 cases) sought medical help at medical institutions due to the presence of clinical symptoms of the disease. In rare cases 6.9 % (693 cases) children were examined as contact ones by one of the family members. As a rule, the clinical picture was noted only in children who addressed for medical help in connection with complaints and symptoms of the disease 20.4 % (2053 children). In all the cases described by us, children had a mild form of enterobiosis manifested by itching in the perianal region, which occurred in the evening and/or at night 96.8 % (1987 children), poor sleep 47.7 % (979 children), nausea 8.5 % (174 children).
Conclusions. Enterobiosis is most often registered in childhood than in adulthood. Most often enterobiosis infection with pinworms affects children aged 717 years. The main reason for infecting children is the presence of onychophagy, geophagy and contact with pets, on the wool of which pinworm eggs can persist for a long time.

Authors: Bulatova I. A. , Vanyukov V. V. , Tyutyunshchikova V. D.
Published: March 2023

Objective. To study the influence of the temperament, anxiety level, intro-extraversion index, the nature of emotions, the level of happiness and the presence of pathologies of sleep physiology in the individual on the frequency of dream production and their figurative content.

Materials and methods. The research involved 100 respondents students of E.A. Vagner Perm State Medical University, the average age was 22.5 4.5 years. The study was conducted through anonymous questionnaires using the following personality questionnaires and psychological tests: Eysenck Personality Questionnaire, Comprehensive Sociometric Test: Emotions, Oxford Happiness Questionnaire (OHQ), Comprehensive Test for Detection of Sleep Disorders.

Results. It was found that in 37,7 % of cases out of 100,0 %, the imaginative content of dreams and the frequency of their production directly depend on the temperament of the individual, the level of anxiety affects dreams only in 50,0 % of cases out of 100,0 %. The intro-extraversion index has a significant impact on the nature of dreams and manifests its effect in 61,6 % out of 100,0 %. The complete dependence of the imaginative content of dreams on the quality of emotions is observed in 57.0 % of cases; inversely proportional dependence is noted in 43.0 % of cases. It was determined that the level of happiness has a natural effect on dreams in 66.0 % of cases. Sleep disorders can affect both negatively and positively the imaginative content of dreams and their quantitative production. Assessment of the multifactorial influence of the students' psycho-emotional state showed that the most important role in the cumulative effect on sleep and dreams is played by the level of anxiety and temperament.

Conclusions. Changes in the parameters of dreams are a consequence of the multifactorial interaction of individual psychoemotional characteristics and typological characteristics of the personality. Determination of temperament and registration of the level of anxiety of the individual can contribute to the prediction of the overall picture of dreams for use in psychological and psychiatric practice.

The SPS application in ship structure is an innovative breakthrough that provides an excellent strength-to-weight ratio. SPS application for new construction is crucial to ensure the proposed design has better static and dynamic behavior than conventional design. The study aims to evaluate the weight savings and dynamic characteristics of different proposed framing systems of 155 m barge due to the application of various SPS types in the deck, ship hull, and bottom structures. A total of three proposed construction systems: longitudinal, transverse, and mixed framing systems, are investigated under different plate configurations, material types, and scantling sizes. In addition, the free vibration analysis is used to evaluate the influence of damage occurrence on the structural characteristics. Several damage parameters, including damage size, location, shape, and depth, are investigated using ABAQUS software. The promising result of weight saving indicates SPS application results in about 9-13%. Moreover, the debonding assessment reveals that eigenvalue decreases with increasing debonding size, where the damaging effect in higher modes is more substantial. The stiffness loss due to debonding causes a high local deformation in the debonded area. Moreover, interfacial debonding reduces eigenvalues significantly, particularly in localized debonding shapes. It can be found that several damage parameters, including damage size, location, depth, and shape, influence the eigenvalue shifts.

In traditional software systems, user information is kept in databases of the system. Much of this information is critical. Theft of data and getting into the hands of malicious people can cause big problems. The most efficient way to get rid of this is to keep the information encrypted, to decrypt the encrypted information with private keys that are not registered in the system, to never access the encrypted information without the private key, and to use it in platform-independent systems. Blockchain technology offers us this system. Blockchain technology, which can be applied very easily in economic fields or systems with transparent data policy of priority, is also the basic structure of cryptocurrencies. Its importance is increasing day by day in the world and it is increasing its weight in banking-finance, voting, asset management and company-specific software systems. In this study, encryption methods of Blockchain technology, data verification approaches, wallet creation, the roles of public and private keys in wallets in the system, their authorization, the formation of transfers within a certain rule and their verification by a third party after the transfer are discussed theoretically and practically. An application was developed on peer-to-peer transfers of white goods production and products, which were fictionalized as a scenario, and Blockchain technology was applied.

Published: March 2023

Background The increasing threat of workplace violence in the health sector in Sudan is a multifactorial problem which displayed lack of trust in doctors and health care workers (HCWs). Objective To study assaults against HCWs employed in Haj Elsafie Teaching Hospital, Khartoum North Sudan. Method An analytical cross-sectional hospital-based study was carried between September 2018 and October 2019. The data was collected through semi-structured questionnaire. Results The prevalence of assaults was 59.6% among 240 participants. Over history females get assaulted most with significant statistical association (p=0.024). Mostly doctors, lab doctors and nurses gone through assault and most of the incidence were happened at medicine department, with a significant statistical association (p=0.038). Verbal assaults were the most frequent among all jobs types, but sexual assault remains high in female. It was found that only 25.8% assault victim filed an official report to the hospital administration. Majority of assault victim explain that they found it unnecessary to report (54.0%), they believed hospital will not take action (30.0%) and assailant will not face any consequences (17.0%). Only, 5.0% disclosed feared from assailant. Conclusion High prevalence of assault incidents among HCWs were found yet official report filing to hospital administration remains low. While poor quality of care was believed to be the main reason for the assault. Training HCWs to deal with patients and teaching them proper communication skills is essential.

Published: March 2023

The unchecked proliferation of abnormal cells in the lung is known as lung cancer, and it is one of the major causes of death globally. The most accurate way for finding malignant lung nodules is a thorax Computed Tomography (CT) scan. A spherical lesion called a lung nodule can either be malignant or not. Lung cancer appears as rounded, white shadow nodules on the CT scan. The candidate ROIs are calculated using existing method and some blood vessels are removed using rule-based methods based on the candidate ROIs' shape features. Next, the candidate ROIs' remaining grey and texture features are calculated, and are given to the classifier to categorize the candidates. The rule-based technique has no omissions, according to experimental results, however the misclassification probability is too high. Therefore, in the proposed method, by computing the texture features from the Grey Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM) in the wavelet domain, the nodules were identified and CT images were categorized using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) into two groups: those with and those without malignant lung nodules. In this work, two classifiers Support Vector Machine (SVM) and CNN are used for the recognized lung cancer image to determine the severity of the condition. Comparisons between SVM and CNN classifiers are done with regard to quality parameters including accuracy and sensitivity.

A blockage or cessation of blood flow to our heart muscle is a sign of Coronary Heart Disease (CHD), which is caused by an accumulation of fatty substances in the coronary arteries known as atheroma. The principal blood channels that deliver blood to the heart are known as coronary arteries. In this paper, the possible application of deep learning technique is explored for the detection of Coronary Heart Disease. In this study, the methodology includes infrastructure creation for the detection of CHD using supervised and unsupervised learning. The result shows the proceeding to manage the data set and process the data there, user input is appropriately gathered. The embedded system that conducts data translation is linked to the controller sensor, which regulates the CHD pulse system. The study concludes that the diagnostic accuracy of the deep learning model using Decision Tree (DT) and Naive Bayes (NB) Classification is effective and error-free. DT and NB Classification is an effective way of detecting CHD by the deep learning model. The future potential of this paper is the development of models for heart disease diagnoses in patients around the world.

Published: March 2023

Introduction: Orientia tsutsugamushi is the bacterium that causes scrub typhus. By being bitten by a larval trombiculid mite(chigger), it is transmitted. The incubation period is 10-14 days. Fever, headache, body aches, and sometimes rashes are the most common symptoms. The hallmark is the characteristic eschar lesion-scab at the site of chigger bite and regional lymphadenopathy. The severity of the illness varies from person to person ranging from fever to multi-organ involvement. Scrub typhus is diagnosed in the laboratory using serological tests such as ELISA IgM and Immunofluorescence IgM and molecular test -real-time PCR. Though the organism can be isolated using egg and cell culture is confined to the referral or research laboratories having biosafety level 3 facilities. The disease is managed with doxycycline or chloramphenicol and the organism does not respond to penicillins. Aim: To eloborate a case report of scrub typhus in a 41-year-old female patient in our tertiary care hospital. Materials and Methods: laboratory work up of a single patient with clinical suspicion of scrub typhus was carried out using TruNat,Molbio for detection of Orientia tsutsugamushi. All other differential diagnosis of fever including Dengue, were also evaluated to confirm the diagnosis Conclusion: Considering scrub typhus as differential diagnosis of fever is suggested.

Published: March 2023

Globally stroke is one of the most common neurological disease, frequently causing death and disability. The survivors suffer from various impairments among which upper and lower limb motor deficits, visuo-spatial neglect and speech impairments are most common. The aim of the study is to find out the association between upper extremity functional recovery and speech recovery in acute stroke patients and to predict the recovery of upper extremity functions based on recovery of speech. Twenty-eight eligible and willing subjects diagnosed with dominant hemisphere supratentorial stroke were taken for the study. The objectives were achieved with Fugl- Meyer assessment: upper extremity (FMA-UL), Western Aphasia Battery (WAB) scale and Wolf motor function scales (WMFT), that were administered by the tester on the eligible subjects within a week after acute stroke and follow up measurements were carried out post one month. A moderate positive correlation was found in between WMFT and WAB. Strength component of WMFT was found to show better correlation with WAB as compared to functional ability and time components. Since initial recovery is mostly seen within (90-120) days, a long term follow up of the same study may provide more information regarding return of upper extremity function with respect to speech. Hence, recovery of speech can predict upper extremity functional recovery.

Beforehand opinion of lung cancer is pivotal to insure restorative treatment and increase survival rates. In recent times, so numerous Computers backed opinion (CAD) systems are designed for opinion of several conditions. Lung cancer discovery at early stage has come veritably important and also veritably easy with image processing and deep literacy ways. In this design lung case Computer Tomography (CT) checkup images are used to descry and classify the lung nodes and to descry the malice position of that node. The CT checkup images are segmented usingU-Net armature. Then we were working with lung images, for classifying the Cancer positive or negative using CNN algorithms and transfer literacy models (VGG16). By using this process we get further delicacy and perfect results along with that we apply the segmentation fashion to descry the which area complaint is actuated. Lung CT overlook imaging is the most constantly used system for diagnosing Cancer. Still, the examination of Lung CT reviews is a grueling task and is prone to private variability. In this design, we developed a computer- backed opinion system for automatic Lung Cancer discovery using Lung CT overlook images from kaggle. We employed deep transfer literacy to handle the failure of available data and designed a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model along with the Machine literacy styles Random Forest (RF), Support Vector Machines (SVM), and Decision Tree (DT). The proposed approach was estimated on intimately available Lung CT checkup dataset

The history of seizures is amalgamated with the history of human existence, the first reports on epilepsy can be traced back to the Assyrian texts almost 2000B.C[1] A seizure is an extreme rush of electrical activity in the brain that can cause a variety of symptoms, depending on which parts of the brain are involved. Juvenile Seizuresare a common disorder that can be triggered or motiveless which are called provoked and unprovoked seizures respectively. Seizures, that are triggered by fever in young children or by severe hypoglycemia, are not considered to be forms of epilepsy. Unprovoked seizures have no clear cause but can be related to genetics or brain injury. When a child has two or more unprovoked seizures repeatedly, then it can be established as Epilepsy. Seizures not only affect the health of a child but also affect the entire family and are associated with increased parental stress with a decrease in quality of life (2) Epilepsy that begins within the first year of life often signifies increased morbidity. Although some epilepsyaffecting children less than oneyear of age can have favorable prognoses, others result in medically obstinate seizures, developmental delay/intellectual debility, and other neurologic impediments (3)(4). A classical description of Seizure disorders is available in various Siddha literature.The book yugi chinthamani-800, written by the great sage YUGIMUNI elaborately deals with both physical and mental illness.He described and classified various types of neurosis and functional psychosis.

Life span of an average person at present is 60 to 75 years but lot of people are expiring due to accidents or because of the health issues they have. One of the main health issues that people are experiencing is skin cancer, it will give only five-year life to the people who are suffering from skin cancer. 5 years’ life we can’t live at our satisfaction people also need regular diagnosis to make their five years of life. Not every person dying because of the skin cancer, only the person who are unaware of their situation are one facing serious problems, so to overcome this problem we are making a machine learning model that makes use of pictures to predict the actual problem of the person.

The aim of this study is to evidence the efficacy of Methanolic extract of sphaeranthus amaranthoides (MESA) against hormonal changes induced by nicotine in male adult wistar albino rats. 24 Adult male Wistar albino rats, weighing about 170 ± 25 gm were divided into four groups and treated with Normal saline ( Control), Nicotine (NT), Nicotine followed by 250mg MESA Dose 1 + NT and Nicotine followed by 500mg MESA Dose 2 + NT. All the animals were treated for 48 days continuous treatment. Serum Hormone levels were measured at 20th day, 40th day and 48th day. The hormonal changes were verified by a noticeable reduction in serum levels of testosterone, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and increase in luteinizing hormone (LH), and prolactin. Our findings propose that MESA has a beneficial effect in reversing the hormonal damages induced by Nicotine by acting on the cell of various stages of spermatogenesis.
Best Washing Method for Oligoasthenospermic Patients by Evaluating DNA Integrity by Using a Sperm Chromatin Dispersion Test
Authors: Balachandran S.G. , Sumathy G.
Published: March 2023

Background: Growing evidence points to sperm DNA fragmentation (DF) as a significant contributor to infertility. One of the most popular techniques to identify sperm DF is the Sperm Chromatin Dispersion test (SCDT), a new assay in semen. The SCDT is based on the idea that after acid denaturation and removal of nuclear proteins, sperm with fragmented DNA are unable to create the distinctive halo of dispersed DNA loops seen in sperm with non-fragmented DNA. As Oligoasthenospermic patients have low sperm concentration, these patients are infertile and opt for fertility treatments for getting a child. There are many steps in the processing of sperm during Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART), and one of the main steps is Sperm Washing. Aim & Objective: The main aim of this research is to determine the best sperm-washing method for Oligoasthenospermic patients by evaluating DNA integrity (DI) by using SCDT. Study Setting: Semen samples were obtained from 40 Oligoasthenospermic patients with progressive motility

Background: Fast and accurate chest pain risk stratification in the Emergency Department (ED) is critical. The HEART score predicts the short-term incidence of major cardiac events (MACE) in this population and divides them into three risk categories. Our aim was to describe the chest pain population, to characterize the subset of patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), and to assess the prognostic value of the Manchester triage system and the HEART score.Chest pain is a common symptom in all health care settings and may be due to a extensive variety of disease conditions. Some of those will be because of treatable causes, including musculoskeletal problems with favorable outcomes; others will be because of probably deadly life-threatening conditions, inclusive of acute coronary syndrome. Methods: Descriptive research design was adopted to conduct the study with( n=60) samples who met the inclusion criteria at Saveetha Medical College and Hospital. Samples were selected by convenience sampling Saveetha Medical College and Hospital, Chennai. A total of 60 Samples who met the inclusion criteria is selected by using convenience sampling technique. After selecting the sample, the investigator introduced him-self and explained the purpose of the study to the participants. Informed consent was obtained from the participants after assured confidentiality. The demographic and clinical variables were collected by using multiple choice questionnaires. Assess the risk level of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) by using HEART score immediately after receiving the chest pain patients with emergency. The data were collected, and score evaluation will take 10 -15 minutes after The data were tabulated and analyzed by descriptive and inferential statistics Result: The risk level of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) among patients with chest pain in emergency department. Study finding shows that out of 60 samples in risk level of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) among patients with chest pain in emergency department by using HEART Score 36(60%) had high risk, 13(21.7%) had intermediate risk and11(18.3%)had low risk. Conclusion: The chest pain is the most associate feature of major adverse cardiac events in the conditions. Chest pain is a common presentation at the Emergency Room. Rapid identification level of risk acute coronary syndrome (ACS)isacrucial component of thetriage. HEART Score is an efficient score in triaging acute chest pain patients at the Emergency Department
