Es la hora del marketing interno
Authors: Sánchez Hernández María Isabel , Miranda González Francisco Javier
Published: August 2019

Convencidos de que el capital humano es la principal fuente de ventajas competitivas en los mercados (Penrose, 1959), y teniendo en cuenta que la literatura académica que analiza qué tipo de factores determinan el éxito del proceso de desarrollo de un nuevo servicio no considera directamente la aplicación de programas de marketing interno, el objetivo de este trabajo ha sido descubrir su relevancia relativa en este campo de investigación. Para conseguir este objetivo, primero se han recopilado los artículos relacionados con innovación en servicios en las revistas internacionales indexadas en el JCR (Journal Citation Report). En segundo lugar, se han seleccionado los artículos centrados en factores de éxito para finalmente, clasificar los diferentes factores hallados en cinco grandes grupos siguiendo las categorías de De Brentani (1995) y Johnson et al. (2000). Como conclusión, se ha constatado que el tópico general de marketing interno, alguno de sus instrumentos o bien su base filosófica (como la orientación al mercado), están siendo considerados un factor emergente de éxito en los procesos de desarrollo de nuevos servicios, capaz de llegar a ser el centro de atención en un futuro cercano.
El ciudadano como informador y sus consecuencias en la era del ciberperiodismo
Authors: Egerique Mosquera Teresa
Published: August 2019

Este artículo pretende mostrar los peligros con los que se enfrenta el ciudadano por su condición de receptor y de informador. Como receptor por la avalancha de información recibida y la falta de criterio para seleccionar y asimilar las noticias; y como informador por una falta de formación universitaria necesaria para informar correctamente como un profesional. A través del análisis de diferentes espacios en internet que se autodenominan medios de comunicación se llega a la conclusión de que es necesario crear nuevos espacios en los que se diferencie claramente quién es el informador y quien el ciudadano y enseñar a la sociedad a reconocer la información real a través de Internet.

Fingal's Cave
Authors: Noble Shona Kirsty
Published: August 2019

Fingal’s Cave: an Audiovisual Experience is an immersive virtual reality application that combines 3D models, a narrative soundscape and interactive auralisation in a recreation of a visit to Fingal’s Cave. This research explores the importance of audio in heritage visualisations and its practical implementation. Fingal’s Cave is a sea cave on the Isle of Staffa off the west coast of Scotland revered for its extraordinary acoustics. Audio is extremely important in the history and culture of Fingal’s Cave and it has long been romanticised, inspiring countless folklore, art, poetry and music. The visualisation is designed to encourage viewers to become a part of the cultural narrative and explore the cave for themselves, move around and speak to hear their voice auralised as it would be inside the cave. This is the first time the acoustic characteristics of a heritage site have been included in a visualisation in this interactive manner. This paper reviews whether auralisation is effective and meaningful and supports a creative response to heritage sites. The impact of the visualisation in terms of engaging with communities of interest and in the field of audio in heritage visualisation is discussed. The research suggests it is necessary that audio be included in heritage visualisations to give a full and complete understanding of how people experience it.
Maps, Distant Reading and the Internet Movie Database
Authors: Taurino Giulia , Boni Marta
Published: August 2019

The presence of large-scale data sets, made available thanks to information technology, fostered in the past few years a new scholarly interest for the use of computational methods to extract, visualize and observe data in the Humanities. Scholars from various disciplines work on new models of analysis to detect and understand major patterns in cultural production, circulation and reception, following the lead, among others, of Lev Manovich’s cultural analytics. The aim is to use existing raw information in order to develop new questions and offer more answers about today’s digital landscape. Starting from these premises, and witnessing the current digitisation of television production, distribution, and reception, in this paper we ask what digital approaches based on big data can bring to the study of television series and their movements in the global mediascape.
Computer Vision and the Digital Humanities
Authors: Musik Christoph , Zeppelzauer Matthias
Published: August 2019

Automated computer vision methods and tools offer new ways of analysing audio-visual material in the realm of the Digital Humanities (DH). While there are some promising results where these tools can be applied, there are basic challenges, such as algorithmic bias and the lack of sufficient transparency, one needs to carefully use these tools in a productive and responsible way. When it comes to the socio-technical understanding of computer vision tools and methods, a major unit of sociological analysis, attentiveness, and access for configuration (for both computer vision scientists and DH scholars) is what computer science calls “ground truth”. What is specified in the ground truth is the template or rule to follow, e.g. what an object looks like. This article aims at providing scholars in the DH with knowledge about how automated tools for image analysis work and how they are constructed. Based on these insights, the paper introduces an approach called “active learning” that can help to configure these tools in ways that fit the specific requirements and research questions of the DH in a more adaptive and user-centered way. We argue that both objectives need to be addressed, as this is, by all means, necessary for a successful implementation of computer vision tools in the DH and related fields.
Newsreels versus Newspapers versus Metadata
Authors: Ibrus Indrek , Ojamaa Maarja
Published: August 2019

This article offers a comparative take on the ways audiovisual versus verbal digital archives model our understanding of the past. We focus on content metadata schemas and their role in modeling histories and framing the uses of audiovisual databases. Our empirical corpus includes verbal and audiovisual objects from the five-year period just before the World War II (1935-1939) as presented in two digital databases – the Analytic Bibliography of Estonian Journalism and the Estonian Film Database. The article compares how the different metadata schemas for newspaper articles and newsreels model their objects. As a consequence, metadata schemas shape contemporary perceptions of historical realities in different ways.
Speech Analytics in Research Based on Qualitative Interviews
Authors: Leh Almut , Köhler Joachim , Gref Michael , Himmelmann Nikolaus P.
Published: August 2019

The paper presents aims and results of the project KA³ (Kölner Zentrum Analyse und Archivierung von audio-visual-Daten), in which advanced speech technologies are developed and provided to enhance the process of indexing and analysing speech recordings from the oral history domain and the language sciences. Close cooperation between speech technology scientists and digital humanities researchers is an important aspect of the project making sure that the development of the technologies answers the needs of research based on qualitative audio-visual interviews. For practical research reasons, the project focuses on the audio aspect, although visual aspects are of course equally important for the analysis of audio-visual data. The Cologne Centre for Analysis and Archiving of audio-visual data will provide the technologies as a central service.
The Researcher as Storyteller
Authors: Hagedoorn Berber , Sauer Sabrina
Published: August 2019

This article offers a first exploratory critique of digital tools' socio-technical affordances in terms of support for narrative creation by media researchers. More specifically, we reflect on narrative creation processes of research, writing and story composition by Media Studies and Humanities scholars, as well as media professionals, working with crossmedia and audio-visual sources, and the pivotal ways in which digital tools inform these processes of search and storytelling. Our study proposes to add to the existing body of user-centred Digital Humanities research by presenting the insights of a cross-disciplinary user study. This involves, broadly speaking, researchers studying audio-visual materials in a co-creative design process, set to fine-tune and further develop a digital tool (technically based on linked open data) that supports audio-visual research through exploratory search. This article focuses on how 89 researchers – in both academic and professional research settings – use digital search technologies in their daily work practices to discover and explore (crossmedia, digital) audio-visual archival sources, especially when studying mediated and historical events. We focus on three user types, (1) Media Studies researchers; (2) Humanities researchers that use digitized audio-visual materials as a source for research, and (3) media professionals who need to retrieve materials for audio-visual text productions, including journalists, television/image researchers, documentalists, documentary filmmakers, digital storytellers, and media innovation experts. Our study primarily provides insights into the search, retrieval and narrative creation practices of these user groups. A user study such as this which combines different qualitative methods (focus groups with co-creative design sessions, research diaries, questionnaires), first, affords fine-grained insights. Second, it demonstrates the relevance of closely considering practices and mechanisms conditioning narrative creation, including self-reflexive approaches. Third and finally, it informs conclusions about the role of digital tools in meaning-creation processes when working with audio-visual sources, and where interaction is pivotal.
Recurrent abdominal and lower limb venous thrombosis due to inherent protein-C and protein-S deficiency
Authors: Polavarapu Naren , Narayanasamy Senthil , Subramanian Naveen Arunachalam
Published: August 2019

Protein-C and protein-S deficiency is associated with a hypercoagulable state which usually presents with recurrent venous thrombosis as a common complication. But extensive thrombosis involving all the major abdominal and lower limb veins is quite rare. Here, we report a case of a 27-year-old woman presented with engorged veins all over abdomen and chest since 20 days. Clinical examination revealed signs suggestive of portal venous hypertension with moderate splenomegaly. Protein-C and protein-S levels were found to be low. Portal venous doppler ultrasound and CT-venogram revealed chronic thrombosis of portal vein, inferior vena cava, bilateral iliac and femoral veins with extensive collaterals formation and partial thrombosis in collaterals as well.  The patient was successfully managed with anti-coagulating agent (acenocoumarol) and has been maintained on regular follow-up to avoid reoccurrence of thrombosis.

Background: Thyroid nodules are a common finding in general practice. These nodules are either solitary or multinodular. In the present study thorough evaluation of all the cases presenting with a solitary thyroid nodule (STN) is done. The clear overview of prevalence of STN, associated risk factors, its distribution and its percentage of malignancy, clinic-pathological correlation and findings on ultra-sonogram.Methods: A one year cross sectional study at a tertiary care hospital was done after ethical committee approval. All cases of thyroid with solitary thyroid nodule were included and socio demographic data, clinical examination and USG data was noted. Thyroid hormone profile, FNAC and HPE was performed for every case enrolled and data was noted. The data was analyzed using SPSS version 22.Results: 350 cases were enrolled with 44.42% prevalence and 61.43% were females. Maximum age group was 31-40 years with swelling as the most common sign. 81.14% were euthyroid, 6.3% of cases had lymph node involvement. Micro calcification in 69.7% of nodules and 78.65 were solid. 40.3% of the STN were of colloid on FNAC and 6% were malignant. Malignancy on HPE was 14.6% and papillary carcinoma was the most commonest and follicular least.Conclusions: All cases of STN require a thorough clinical approach supported by ultra-sonogram, FNAC and detailed HPE after surgery for evaluation of benign and malignant lesions. Fine needle aspiration cytology has become an invaluable, minimally invasive and reliable tool in the preoperative assessment of patients with suspicion of malignancy.

Authors: Mavelil Sunny Joseph , Srivastava S. C.
Published: August 2019

Background: ASHAs were appointed by NRHM to provide preventive, promotive and curative healthcare services in the rural including tribal villages in Meghalaya. However, their social acceptance and job satisfaction remain less studied. Hence our study aimed at it.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 140 ASHAs from randomly sampled 142 villages across 15 PHCs in five districts. To collect data, we used a semi-structured back-translated and validated questionnaire consisting socio-demographic profile of ASHAs, level of perceived social acceptance and job satisfaction. Data were analysed using SPSS version 22.0.Results: Mean and median age of ASHAs were 33.29 and 32.00 years respectively. Over 63% belonged to Garo tribes, 67% studied high school, and 91% married. Village elders selected 76% of ASHAs, and 81% were as ASHAs for at least eight years. About 86% were trained in a minimum of three modules and all found their training effective. While 92% had the medical kit always filled, 100% had registers updated, and 94.3% facilitated VHND and FHD meetings. About 97% accompanied the pregnant women, 96.4% attended PHC meetings regularly and 83.6% organized VHSNC meeting. Though 93.5% reported a high acceptance of ASHAs' services, social acceptance of ASHAs was rather to some extent for 36.4%. Almost 52% of ASHAs were dissatisfied with job and 61% were unhappy with their performance-based remuneration.Conclusions: Community must be aware of ASHAs’ role, and their job satisfaction has to be increased with a corresponding increase in incentives while developing strategies to ease the process of payments.

Epidermoid cyst of earlobe: a common cyst at an uncommon site
Authors: S. Jayendiran , Iype Jinu Vadakkanethu , V. Srinivasa
Published: August 2019

Epidermoid cysts are frequently encountered cutaneous cysts. They are mostly tiny and benign swellings. But rarely they can grow huge in size and malignant transformation can also occur occasionally. Cosmetic disfigurement is also another important concern especially in head and neck region. We report a case of earlobe epidermoid cyst, a location where very few cases have been described in the literature. The cyst was completely excised and the wound was closed with nylon 4/0. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of an epidermoid cyst. The patient did not have any signs of recurrence even after six months postoperatively. Due to the possibility of malignant transformation and to ensure correct diagnosis, we consider that histopathological examination is necessary for all cysts although the clinical diagnosis could be enough.

Преславизмы в апокрифических Вопросах апостола "Варфоломея"
Authors: Chromá Martina
Published: August 2019

Paper deals with the lexical analysis of the Old Church Slavonic version of the Apocryphal Questions of Bartholomew, a literary monument written most likely in Greek in the 3rd century. The analysis shows that the Slavonic version contains not only lexical elements typical for the Preslav redaction, but also some archaic figures. This leads to the conclusion, that the primal Old Church Slavonic translation may be made in Bulgaria in the 10th century. There are two possibilities of a more exact dating. The text may have been translated in the early 10th century when the lexical elements of the Preslav redaction weren’t strictly used yet and still there occurred many archaic figures. The second possibility is that the translation was made later in the 10th century in one of the distant centers of the Preslav literary school, in which a specific tradition in using Preslav and archaic lexical elements was held. However, a further lexical and language analysis is needed for the confirmation of the stated dating.
Обрядовые уклонения и дурные привычки латинских еретиков в византийско- славянской полемической литературе Средневековья
Authors: Николов Ангел , Станев Камен
Published: August 2019

The paper discusses the differences between Eastern and Western Christians during the Middle Ages through the prism of the lists of ritual deviations and bad habits of the ‘Latin heretics’, which were circulated in Byzantium in the second half of the 12th century (following the Great Schism of 1054). The translations and revisions of these lists remained popular among the Orthodox Christians in the Balkans and Eastern Europe up until the end of the 17th century. Special attention has been given to the reception among the Slavs of two Byzantine accusations levelled on the westerners – (1) that their priests shave; (2) that they eat various ‘unclean’ animals and creatures. The examples of the peculiar mundanity of the religious dialogue and polemics analysed in the paper suggest that this was a trend resulting from the ambition of the Orthodox societies in the Balkans and Eastern Europe to strengthen through various means their ethnic and religious identity in the context of the fierce political and confessional confrontation with the Catholic world of Western Europe. Also highlighted is the need for the research of medieval polemical texts to embrace the archaeological, ethnological and folkloristic evidence, which would allow us to clarify the sources and trends in the development and transformation of the key features of the identity of Slavic Orthodox societies during the Middle Ages and Modernity.
"Плач Адама" и «адамический текст» в древнеславянской рукописной традиции
Authors: Рождественская Милена В.
Published: August 2019

Apocryphal stories of Adam related to the subjects of the Paradise lost, Adam’s repentance and expulsion from Eden, life of Adam and Eve after the expulsion, the manuscript that Adam gave to Satan, the Holy Cross story – all these subjects can be called the single Adamic text. This intertestamental texts includes Story of how many parts Adam was created from, Adam’s Handwriting, Story of the Cross Tree, Story of Adam and Eve, Adam’s Lament. In Old Russian manuscripts these texts were not necessarily clearly divided from one another, they were often copied as a single set related to the first man and woman. Author had like to look in more detail into the lament of Adam. The Old Testament says nothing about the penance and lament of Adam after his and Eve’s expulsion from Eden. However, the apocryphal Old Russian version (Confession of Eve) mentions his crying and lamenting. Another genre of the Adamic text (apart from prayer, narration, and lament) is the question-and-answer erotapocritical apocryphal literature in the form of riddles and solutions. For example, in the wellknown apocryphal ‘Talk of three Holy Hierarchs’, the text known in different versions to the southern Slavs since the 12th century, which has a long literary tradition in Russia well into the 19th century, there are riddles concerning Adam. The theme of Adam in Old Russian literary and oral traditions is present in several genres: narrative, spiritual verse, riddles.
On Medieval Storytelling. The Story of Melchizedek in Certain Slavonic Texts (Palaea Historica and the Apocryphal Cycle of Abraham)
Authors: Skowronek Małgorzata , Gucio Katarzyna
Published: August 2019

The article analyses the story of the prophet-king Melchizedek (mentioned in Gen 14,17– 20, Ps 110,4 and three passages in Heb: 5,6–10, 6,20, 7,1–17), recorded in Slavonic historical texts: the first and second translation of Palaea Historica, and the first and second edition of the so-called apocryphal cycle of Abraham (in which there are several references to Melchizedek). Compared to the scarce information about Melchizedek from the Old and New Testament, stories of extra-biblical origin communicate a significant amount of detail concerning the king-priest, comprising a description of nearly all of his life. Comparison of key episodes in the life of Melchizedek and Abraham (such as origin, revelation, conflict with their pagan parent, leaving home and journey, promise of greatness given by God, testimony or theophany or angelophany, experience of human sacrifice, a change of name) in the Palaea and the cycle confirms – based on the Slavonic material – analogies in the construction of the two protagonists. Both accounts – in the Palaea and the cycle – make the characters more “full-blooded” than in the Bible. The story of Melchizedek presented in the Palaea is characterised by fragmentation (being contained in four chapters), and disrupts chronological order to a small degree, emphasising cause-and-effect relationships, while at the same time it can be considered as a prototype or a singular variant of Vitae: the structure and selection of content of the bio- or hagiographic story meet the characteristics of the genre.

Authors: Rzeźnicka Zofia , Kokoszko Maciej , Jagusiak Krzysztof
Published: August 2019

The present study discusses the role of salt-cured meat in dietetics, medicine and gastronomy demonstrated mainly in ancient and Byzantine medical (Galen, Oribasius, Aetius of Amida, Anthimus, Alexander of Tralles and Paul of Aegina) and agronomic (Cato, Varro, Columella, Palladius, Geoponica) sources written between 2nd and 10th century A.D. The part dealing with culinary application was also based on De re coquinaria. The article consists of three parts. In the first one, concerning ham, there are presented places in Europe and Asia Minor, were best cured meats were produced. Next, there in an outline of different methods of salting pork, dietetic properties of this kind of food, as well as, the way of using ham in medical treatment. There are also quotations of some recipes for ham that were presented in De re coquinaria. The second, sets forth the importance of bacon in ancient and Byzantine diet and medicine, especially among inhabitants of Gaul. The authors describe also the way it was utilized in by Byzantine physicians in fighting parasites. The last part is devoted to tuccetum – a meat dish, that was only mentioned in few Latin sources and has not yet been researched in detail. Moreover there is a presentation of different ideas for translations of this Latin term given by translators, linguists and historians.
El texto del Primero sueño. Transmisión, editores, retos de la edición crítica
Authors: Gutiérrez Reyna Jorge
Published: August 2019

This article delineates the history of the text of sor Juana Inés de la Cruz’s Primero Sueño. It gives an account of the possible manuscript transmission of the poem, of its first printed edition within the Segundo Volumen de las Obras de sor Juana, published in Seville in 1692, and of the various Spanish editions which, until 1725, reproduced the poem. This study also provides information about editors who played an important role in the textual transmission of the Primero Sueño during the 17th century, such as Juan de Orúe y Arbieto and José Llopis. Furthermore, it addresses the topic of the editors who, during the 20th century, questioned the accuracy of the old volumes’ text, made editorial decisions about it, and offered their own editions of the text. These editors, and the publication dates of their editions, are as follows: Ermilo Abreu Gómez, 1928; Alfonso Méndez Plancarte, 1951, and Alberto Pérez Amador, 2015. Finally, this article indicates some basic principles that should be taken into consideration when creating a critical edition of the Primero Sueño, and discusses some of its loci critici.
Un sermón de Juan José de Eguiara y Eguren sobre san José: La congregación de todos los ángeles y hombres santos excedida por san José (Manuscrito 760 de la Biblioteca Nacional de México)
Authors: Castaño Ana
Published: August 2019

The illustrious 18th century bibliographer, theologian, preacher and professor Juan José de Eguiara y Eguren, wrote and preached approximately 212 sermons and talks which have been preserved in manuscript form in the Biblioteca Nacional de México. Despite the fact that these texts account for almost half of this author’s written work, we are only aware of the publication of 10 of his sermons. We may find this surprising when we consider, on the one hand, the literary and cultural transcendence of the genre of the sermon during the Colonial period and, on the other, the great care that Eguiara dedicated to the composition, correction and transcription of many of these pieces of writing. In this article, I present the edition of the first part of a manuscript sermon by Eguiara dedicated to St. Joseph, to whom the author seemed to show particular devotion, as I intend to demonstrate, based on the work and on the cultural and religious context of the historical period. I also propose here that this relatively extensive piece of writing complies with the formal characteristics of an “academic sermon,” insofar as we may speak of such a type of sermon in the 18th century. We know that Eguiara’s sermon about St. Joseph was preached during the second quarter of the century, on a more or less solemn occasion, though we do not know where; I shall propose some options regarding possible locations. We also know that Eguiara considered this sermon to be ready to go to press, both because of his clearly stated indication thereof and because of the attention given to the style and the structure of the work. It was carefully copied by an amanuensis and has corrections and additions by Eguiara; it was bound along with 9 other booklets containing other sermons about saints.

ESTUDIO DE LAS INTERACCIONES HUMANO-FAUNA SILVESTRE EN TABASCO
Authors: Heredia Montes Luis Enrique , Gordillo Chávez Elías José , Villanueva García Claudia
Published: August 2019

En México el estudio de las interacciones humano-fauna silvestre se ha enfocado en cuantificar los daños que generan ciertos grupos de vertebrados silvestres a las actividades ganaderas y agrícolas del país. En el norte de México, el estudio de estas interacciones se ha centrado principalmente en los carnívoros que afectan a la ganadería, mientras que, en el sureste, los estudios se han enfocado en los daños ocasionados por aves y mamíferos a distintos cultivos de temporal. Un aspecto que comparten la mayoría de los estudios realizados en México, es que pocos han abordado el problema desde una perspectiva socio ambiental, el cual es un elemento clave para el manejo del conflicto.

The Declaration on Patient-Oriented Healthcare of theTomsk Region was accepted by the medical and patient communities on August 24, 2018. It was the first document of its kind in Russia. It was created based on several elements: modern international experience in the field of protection of patients’ and medical workers’ rights, particular qualities of Russian legislation, principles of humanistic medicine, and broad analysis of specific complaints from patients of regional public health institutions in the Tomsk region. The reason to create the Declaration was the necessity to build a healthcare system in which both medical staff and patients comply with such principles as mutual respect, choice and responsibility, involvement, accessibility, and openness. The document explains the need for constant adherence to these principles for the effectiveness of treatment, the protection of the individual, professional dignity, and equality.

Autophagy is the main catabolic process required for the removal of damaged organelles, aggregated proteins and intracellular pathogens from cells. Oxidative stress is accompanied by an increase in autophagy, which has a protective effect by maintaining the qualitative composition of mitochondria (mitophagy) and peroxisomes (pexophagy) followed by lysosomal degradation of organelles with high production of reactive oxygen species. Aggrephagy also removes toxic products formed during oxidative and carbonyl stress. Furthermore, autophagy can activate the antioxidant response element system and increase the expression of antioxidant enzyme genes. The protective role of autophagy can be useful in many pathological processes accompanied by the development of oxidative stress while at the same time it may cause chemoresistance, reducing the effectiveness of anti-tumor therapy.

Objectives. Allergic rhinitis (AR) is highly prevalent all around the world. It adversely affects the quality of life of patients and leads to the development of bronchial asthma, which determines its high socioeconomic burden. International and Russian authorities establish control of the disease as a primary efficacy end point of allergic rhinitis treatment. Nevertheless, there is no international, standardized, validated tool to assess control of allergic rhinitis. In this regard, this review aims to analyze research on the development of such tools and to provide their comparative analysis. Review methods. Using PubMed, Web of science and Russian Citation Index database, we searched from 1991 to 2019 with logical combinations of the following key words: “allergic rhinitis control”, “AR control”, “AR questionnaire”. A total of 96 publications were included in the study. Results. All studies were arranged in chronological order and their main results were described. Questionnaires on the quality of life, tools offered by the clinical guidelines, visual analogue scales, and specialized questionnaires for measuring the control of allergic rhinitis were considered separately. The advantages and disadvantages of these instruments are described. Conclusion. The evidence based on the quality of the tool to support the use of specialized questionnaires was shown. Many disease control scales have been validated, but have some practical disadvantages asprimary efficacy criteria in clinical practice.
Changes in emotional state and the perception of body image in patients with dorsopathies after a course of medical massage
Authors: Vasilieva I. V. , Grigoriev P. E.
Published: August 2019

Objective: to evaluate the changes in perception of body image in patients with dorsopathies after restorative procedures (with the example of massage).

Materials and methods. The study involved 50 patients with spinal diseases (of which 13 had intervertebral disc hernias, 13 patients had protrusions, 22 had scoliosis, 46 had osteochondrosis and 8 patients had spinal traumas). To assess the dynamics of the psychoemotional state and the attitude toward the body, we used the eight-color version of Lьscher color test and the color metaphors technique offered by I.L. Solomin and modified for the research task. Each patient was treated by a course of medical massage (10 sessions). Assessment of psychological parameters was conducted before and after the course of medical massage with the aim to establish the changes in the psychological state. The methods of descriptive statistics, the Student’s test for dependent samples and the procedure of tree clustering were used.

Results. The average and elevated levels of non-productive neuropsychic tension after treatment of patients either significantly and statistically significantly decreased or completely normalized. Exhaustion and lethargy in most cases were replaced by higher levels of activity and mobilization of physical and psychological resources. Psychosemantic analysis indicates that after massage sessions, important life values related to health and perception of oneself as more necessary and attractive are allocated in clusters. There is a reason to conclude that a person ceases to “indulge in illness,” and opens up to the external environment, thus family and romantic relationships improve.

Conclusion. After a course of medical massage, in addition to the therapeutic effect, patients’ overall psychoemotional state and attitude toward their own bodies improve.

Aim. To study the features of regulating the electrical activity and mechanical tension of smooth muscle cells (SMCs) of the guinea pig ureter as modulated by cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) in hypoxia. Materials and methods. The effects of isoprenaline (100 μM), forskolin (1 μM), 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (IBMX, 100 μM) and tetraethylammonium chloride (TEA, 5 μM) on the contractile and electrical properties of isolated smooth muscle segments of the guinea pig ureter in normoxia and hypoxia were measured by the double sucrose bridge. Hypoxic conditions were created by placing the SMCs in Krebs solution containing (10.0 ± 0.2) vol. % O2. Results. It was found that an increase in the intracellular cAMP level caused by isoprenaline, the β-adrenergic receptor agonist, and activation of adenylate cyclase by forskolin, an inhibitor of phosphodiesterase IBMX, caused a decrease in the electrical and constrictor properties of the SMCs in the guinea pig ureter. The decrease in the level of oxygen in the perfusion solution resulted in the increase in the action potential amplitude and contraction of smooth muscles from the ureter. With an increase in the intracellular cAMP level, the activating effect of hypoxia on smooth muscle segments decreased. Inhibition of potassium conductivity of the ureteral SMCs with TEA in normoxia suppressed the cAMP-dependent processes induced by forskolin, whereas in hypoxia it caused the potentiation of an activating effect on the electrical activity and contractions of smooth muscle segments. Conclusion. Thus, the results suggest the involvement of cAMP-dependent signaling system in the influence of hypoxia on the electrical and contractile properties of ureteral SMCs. Modification of the intracellular cAMP level reduced the stimulatory effect of hypoxia on the smooth muscle strips of the ureter caused by increase in the ionic conductivity of the membrane and contributed to their adaptation to environmental conditions.
