Prospective Teachers’ Metaphors as a Lens to Understand How They Perceive ‘Web 2.0’
Authors: Aydoğmuş Mevlüt , Arslantaş Süleyman
Published: July 2021

Technology should be used in teaching and learning in universities. It is seen that studies on the use of Web 2.0 tools in education faculties are limited. Teachers who will integrate information and communication technologies into education at schools must first of all have prerequisite knowledge and skills on this subject. However, the effective use of technological tools in learning environments also depends on teachers’ perspectives on technology. This study aimed to determine the perceptions of pre-service teachers towards Web 2.0 applications through metaphors. The authors of the study effectively used web 2.0 tools during the semester in Educational Sociology, Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity, and Integration in Special Education courses. In the study, phenomenology design, one of the qualitative research approaches, was used, and semi-structured interview form was used to collect the data. Participants of the study consisted of 123 pre-service teachers who took this course. In light of the findings, it was observed that the majority of the participants (98%) used positive metaphors about Web 2.0 applications, and 2% used negative metaphors. Metaphors were then classified into 7 categories and tables were created. Categories ‘Web 2.0 as a source and producer of information,’ ‘Web 2.0 as a measurement and evaluation tool,’ ‘Web 2.0 as an Innovation and Development Platform,’ ‘Web 2.0 as a social / fun environment,’ ‘Web as a helpful and supportive platform 2.0, ‘Web 2.0’ and ‘other’ as a stimulating and relaxing platform. The abstract is to be in fully-justified text. Use the word ‘Abstract’ as the title, in 11-point Times, bold, initially capitalized. The abstract is to be in 10-point, single-spaced type, and up to 200 words in length.
Criteria for Choosing Thermal Packaging for Temperature Sensitive Goods Transportation
Authors: Vamza Ilze , Valters Karlis , Dzalbs Arnis , Kudurs Edgars , Blumberga Dagnija
Published: July 2021

Today cold chain transportation has become more important than before, as countries rely on cold chain logistics to store and transport SARS-CoV-2 vaccines and other temperature-sensitive goods. The cold chain is usually associated with the use of non-renewable materials and higher energy consumption than the regular supply chain. An important part of cold chain sustainability is thermal packaging. Up to now one of the most popular thermal packaging materials is polystyrene – made from fossil raw material. Polystyrene has low thermal conductivity and density, but it breaks down into micro- and nano plastics when exposed to sunlight making it environmentally unsustainable. To determine which factors are important for cold chain regarding thermal packaging, 12 criteria were compared to determine their ranking. Further multi-criteria analysis was used to compare polystyrene to four alternative biodegradable thermal packaging options: mycelium-based, corn starch, non-woven wool, and non-woven feathers. Polystyrene gained only 3rd place with a 0.70 proximity to ideal solution 1, but non-woven wool showed the best result with 0.88 proximity to ideal solution.

Published: July 2021

Targets set by the European Green Deal to increase efficiency, reach towards sustainable development and to reduce greenhouse gas emissions have placed additional focus on necessary improvements in heating and cooling sector. This article aims to determine whether the objectives set at the EU and on the member state level for achieving climate and environmental goals are being implemented at the regional and local levels. The case of Latvia is considered. A keyword extraction text analysis method is used to identify whether improving the efficiency of heating and cooling is included in regional and local sustainable development strategies. Results are evaluated by using multi-criteria analysis methods TOPSIS and AHP, to determine how much attention in the strategies is paid to direct heating and cooling supply aspects and overall efficiency aspects. Results obtained while assessing the sustainable development strategies of cities and municipalities are compared with the climate index of their heating supply. Considerable differences can be seen in the inclusion of heating and cooling efficiency improvement plans in the strategies at regional and local levels.
Constitutional identity and institutional autonomy of state
Authors: Karpenko K. V.
Published: July 2021

Introduction. The article deals with the phenomenon of constitutional identity, which allows strengthening the protection of constitution. The author shows, that the constitutional courts are the creators of the constitutional identity all around the world. That is why its principles may be called «praetorian law», as a reference to Roman judicial practice. The principles of constitutional identity form by themselves a core of constitutional provisions, which guarantee historical continuity and durability of any legal order. A nation can use them to preserve its existence in a legal reality. Constitutional identity creates a subordination of norms in the constitutional text. The most important of them are on the top. Such a vertical system gives to the Constitutional courts a useful criterion for balancing different interests in a society. This criterion is fair enough, because it is stipulated by the constitution itself.

Materials and methods. The materials for the study include the constitutions of states, whose content is related to the problem discussed, decisions of constitutional courts and the legal positions expressed in them, as well as the conclusions of the constitutional and legal doctrine. The study uses the comparative method, which makes it possible to compare homogeneous legal phenomena, the systemic method, with the help of which constitutional identity is considered as an integral part of the mechanism of legal regulation, the dogmatic method that reveals the legal nature of the subject under study, as well as the dialectical method, which gives a holistic idea of subject of research.

Results. Constitutional identity, which determines the hierarchy of constitutional norms and values, characterizes a state, emphasizing its differences from others. Constitutional identity should be unchanged over time and free from ongoing changes to the constitutional text. Then it allows identifying the permanent features of a particular legal order and the state as a whole. Consequently, the principles of constitutional identity preserve the historical heritage of the people, the patterns of its development and a certain predictability of the future. Thus, constitutional identity ensures the continuity of different historical periods.

Discussion and conclusions. According to the author, the application of the principles of constitutional identity can give the current legal order an internal structure, reflected in the text of the Basic Law. At the same time, constitutional norms build a hierarchy that can reflect the hierarchy of significant values. The presence of such a hierarchy expands the possibilities of legal protection of the constitution, since the constitutional courts have a criterion for «weighing» public and private interests.
Recommender systems in the public administration: methodological overview and conceptualization
Authors: Ivanova M. I.
Published: July 2021

Introduction. The article discusses approaches to describing recommender systems in public administration in the context of digital transformation of smart cities. Recommender systems are information filtering and recommendation mechanisms designed to facilitate and increase the speed of decision making. The effectiveness of public administration depends on the ability of state bodies not only to promptly respond to emerging challenges, but also on the ability to foresee such situations, to develop possible scenarios for future developments based on a retrospective analysis of available data, which will become possible due to the implementation of recommendation systems in the general canvas of the state digital platforms. Despite the lack of unambiguity in understanding the concept of a smart city, the scientific community emphasizes the importance of technological infrastructures not only for the life of the urban area, but also for the process of making management decisions. The scientific corps crystallizes the idea of a smart city as a functional urban area created by means of information and communication technologies, without which it becomes impossible to manage the city in an efficient and sustainable way. Over the past 20 years, the original concept of a smart city, conceived as a way to achieve more sustainable urban development, has gradually evolved to address the problems of ineffective governance. In this context, striving to improve such aspects as the quality of life of citizens, as well as the empowerment of their rights and opportunities, the smart city becomes a kind of environment in which the citizen is the center of all services and initiatives taking place in a given territory, where the use of technology plays the most important role.

Materials and methods. The methodological basis of the research is characterized by the following general scientific methods: analysis, synthesis, systemic and functional approaches.

Discussion and conclusion. As a result of the study, it was revealed that recommender systems should become part of the decision-making process in the field of public administration. The question of the quality of the recommendations provided remains unresolved, since the effectiveness of the recommendation systems depends on factors that go beyond the quality of the forecasting algorithm.

Playing with Fire: The Medieval Judicial Ordeals and their Downfall
Authors: Larson Aaron
Published: July 2021

Trials by ordeal in the Middle Ages prove to be some of the most complex secular trials in all of history. Both trial by fire, and trial by water looked to call God's judgment into play, hoping that He would make the decisions of guilt or innocence. God is all-knowing. He is all-powerful. Therefore He has all of the relevant information to determine the fates of those who go through the ordeals. Despite this, the theologians in the medieval Church looked to lessen clerical involvement in the ordeals. In 1215, the Fourth Lateran Council met, and the ordeals ceased to exist. Even though they were secular, the ordeals could not survive without the help of priests. Why is it that the theologians so desperately wanted to end the use of the ordeals in Europe?
Empire In-the-Round: The Tiered Stages of Naqsh-i Jahan Square in Isfahan
Authors: Silvia Sean P.
Published: July 2021

Naqsh-i Jahan Square lies at the heart of the Safavid Empire's capital city of Isfahan, and it is a remarkable unified artistic statement that renders legible Shah 'Abbas' imperial ideology in the urban landscape. It is also a complex made up of many different buildings with theater iconography: the caravanserai, coffeehouse, maydan, and palace. Though there is much existing scholarship analyzing these buildings separately, this paper proposes a new holistic conception of these stage spaces as linked and hierarchal. The stages embody the Shah's goal of centralization by facilitating ease of movement to promote urban consolidation and they invite the Safavid subject to become an actor in the imperial project through their in-the-round design, while containing dissent through the visual supremacy and exclusivity of the palace stage. Taken as a whole, the square's translated name, 'Image of the World' holds true, and this paper demonstrates how Shah 'Abbas' tiered theater spaces cast Naqsh-i Jahan Square as both a microcosm and a macrocosm of the Safavid Empire.
The Accumulation of People: Slavery and Capitalism in Southern Thought
Authors: Sudo Jonathan K.
Published: July 2021

The abolitionist movement in antebellum America provoked a frenzy of pro-slavery reaction. With the very foundation of their society under assault from the 1830s onward, southern planters, intellectuals and ministers penned countless speeches, essays, letters, and even poems in defense of bondage. Previously, the lack of a movement for immediate abolition gave slaveholders little reason to forcefully argue for the coerced labor of black people, but the rise of an energized opposition in Britain and America required ever more sophisticated justifications for the “peculiar institution.” The result was southern intellectuals began to justify slavery not only in terms of racial hierarchy or practical necessity, but also by critiquing the model of free labor offered by Northern abolitionists as an alternative. Through these critiques, southerners articulated an alternative vision of capitalism, one based on ostensibly more humane bound labor and the racial and social stability it maintained. However, I argue that this vision was fundamentally reactionary and situational. It was only articulated in response to attacks from British and northern abolitionists and, despite arguing for slavery universal superiority to wage labor, Southerners never advocated expanding it beyond the Southern, black population.

Authors: Villalvazo Palacios Margarita , Covarrubias Papahiu Patricia
Published: July 2021

Se reporta una investigación cuyo objetivo fue evaluar la influencia de la enseñanza por descubrimiento en el aprendizaje de la biodiversidad en estudiantes de secundaria, así como su motivación por la observación y estudio de la biodiversidad en su entorno ecológico y social. Participaron estudiantes de primer grado de una secundaria general del estado de Jalisco, México[1]. Para el aprendizaje de la biodiversidad se trabajó la colecta de insectos y su conservación en una colección entomológica. Se utilizó un diseño cuasiexperimental con un grupo experimental y un grupo control, bajo un esquema de preprueba-intervención-posprueba (A-B-A). Mediante diversos instrumentos y pruebas estadísticas se evaluó la influencia de la enseñanza por des-cubrimiento en los aprendizajes de los estudiantes. Los resultados muestran que el grupo experimental, en el que se aplicó la estrategia de enseñanza por descubrimiento, tuvo significativamente mejores resultados en la posprueba que el grupo control, en el que se revisó el tema de la biodiversidad con técnicas didácticas más tradicionales. Además, se logró una destacada motivación en los estudiantes del grupo experimental mediante la observación y estudio en su entorno ecológico y social.

Published: July 2021

For every 100,000 women in the United States, eight new cervical cancer cases and two deaths are reported as per the most recent (2017) Center of Disease Control and Prevention statistics. Of all the gynecologic cancers (ovary, uterus, cervix, vagina, and vulva), only cervical cancer has a screening test. Cervical Pap test (or Pap smear) is the best screening method for cervical precancerous lesions and is best reported using a unified and a well-established reporting system like The Bethesda System. In this system, “Epithelial cell abnormality: Squamous” includes squamous intraepithelial lesion (SIL) category which encompasses a spectrum of squamous cell lesions starting from the precancerous lesions of low-grade SIL (LSIL) to high-grade SIL (HSIL), and ultimately invasive squamous cell carcinoma. However, depending on the qualitative and quantitative limitations with the specimen, some equivocal morphological features suggestive of squamous cell abnormality may fall under equivocal category: “Atypical Squamous Cells” (ASCs), which are subdivided into two categories; “Atypical Squamous Cells of Undetermined Significance” (ASC-US) or “Atypical Squamous Cells, HSIL cannot be excluded” (ASC-H), based on the suspected underlying lesion LSIL versus HSIL, respectively. This review provides the key cytologic features that distinguish Bethesda squamous categories from other important entities, using algorithmic approach and illustrations of common cytomorphologic patterns for clear identification of those entities in practice. The important mimickers which may be considered during the differential interpretation of SIL are discussed and presented here in a brief cytomorphologic review.
Prevalence of the lower urinary tract symptoms in men aged 50 years and above: A homoeopathic hospital-based study
Authors: Mathur Shishir , Jain Sangeeta , Mewara Sakshi
Published: July 2021

Objectives:

Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) are common in men and increase with age; more than 50% of men over 50-years-old are affected. Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a common cause of LUTS such as urgency, frequency, and obstruction of urination and retention of urine. LUTS hamper patients’ life and occupation as well. In this study, we aimed to determine the prevalence of LUTS in men aged 50 years and above and association between LUTS severity and age in men.

Materials and Methods:

This was a cross-sectional study conducted in the outpatient department of the hospital attached to Homoeopathy University, Jaipur from October to December 2019. A total of 360 men aged 50 years and above were enrolled. They were screened using the American urological association symptom index and graded as having mild, moderate, or severe symptoms. For statistical analysis, Spearman’s correlation test and Chi-square test were applied with 95% confidence interval.

Results:

The prevalence of moderate to severe LUTS was 72.5% (n = 261; 95% confidence interval: 0.701–0.748). The adjusted analysis revealed that the incidence of LUTS was 64.6% (n = 115/178), 78.86% (n = 97/123), 82.22% (n = 37/45), and 85.71% (n = 12/14) in the age groups of 50–59 years, 60–69 years, 70–79 years, and 80–89 years, respectively. The severity of LUTS showed an increasing trend with increasing age (P < 0.05).

Conclusion:

LUTS are very common in men aged 50 years and above and their severity level increases with increasing age. The study also showed a positive correlation between patient age and the severity score of LUTS.

Hebrew Incunabula in the Russian Researchers’ Publications. Bibliographic Review
Authors: Iakerson Semen M.
Published: July 2021

Hebrew incunabula amount to a rather modest, in terms of number, group of around 150 editions that were printed within the period from the late 60s of the 15th century to January 1, 1501 in Italy, Spain, Portugal and Turkey. Despite such a small number of Hebrew incunabula, the role they played in the history of the formation of European printing cannot be overlooked. Even less possible is to overestimate the importance of Hebrew incunabula for understanding Jewish spiritual life as it evolved in Europe during the Renaissance.

Russian depositories house 43 editions of Hebrew incunabula, in 113 copies and fragments. The latter are distributed as following: the Institute of Oriental Manuscripts of the Russian Academy of Sciences — 67 items stored; the Russian State Library — 38 items; the National Library of Russia — 7 items; the Jewish Religious Community of Saint Petersburg — 1 item. The majority of these books came in public depositories at the late 19th — first half of the 20th century from private collections of St. Petersburg collectors: Moses Friedland (1826—1899), Daniel Chwolson (1819—1911) and David Günzburg (1857—1910). This article looks into the circumstances of how exactly these incunabula were acquired by the depositories. For the first time there are analysed publications of Russian scholars that either include descriptions of Hebrew incunabula (inventories, catalogues, lists) or related to various aspects of Hebrew incunabula studies. The article presents the first annotated bibliography of all domestic publications that are in any way connected with Hebrew incunabula, covering the period from 1893 (the first publication) to the present. In private collections, there was paid special attention to the formation of incunabula collections. It was expressed in the allocation of incunabula as a separate group of books in printed catalogues and the publication of research works on incunabula studies, which belonged to the pen of collectors themselves and haven’t lost their scientific relevance today.
New Library Services in the Framework of Digital Humanities Projects: Foreign Experience
Authors: Savitskaya Tatiana E.
Published: July 2021

Integration of information and communication technology platforms is one of the incentives for the development of Digital Humanities (DH) projects abroad in their increasingly close interaction with academic, primarily University libraries. The purpose of the article is to analyze the deepening interaction of libraries with DH projects within the single digital paradigm, as well as to analyze new services for project management, data curation, organization of online publications, preservation and exchange of databases, etc. In the era of digital convergence, large scientific libraries abroad are actively developing new models of cooperation with DH projects, forming special service packages for continuous servicing of scientists on the basis of the integrated approach.

The article discusses the new concept of library services for DH projects, draws attention to the problem of classification and ranking of library services in order to streamline the work and improve its efficiency, describes the existing multi-level service models developed in the library systems of the major US Universities. In the context of formation of the new package of library services within the framework of DH projects, the article considers the new practices and operational models on which they are based. The author describes the experience of University libraries in the Netherlands and Canada. Under the innovation pressure in the field of library technologies, the service package offered by scientific libraries in developed countries is constantly expanding and modernizing. It includes not only digitization of printed materials, computer assistance, but also management of databases, preservation and exchange of scientific data, organization of digital publications, consultations in the field of copyright protection, etc. Development of new practices in the field of digital services management changes the organizational paradigm of library work, puts forward new standards of professional activity, which require continuous training to meet, i.e. launches an institutional rebranding of the library.
Attribution of Decorative Marble Papers in the Study of Russian Binding of the 18th — early 20th centuries: Problems and Solutions
Authors: Zolotova Maria B.
Published: July 2021

An important stage in the study and attribution of the Russian binding of the 18th — early 20th century is the description of the flyleaf and other elements of decorative paper. First of all, this applies to paper with marble drawings (marble paper), found in the Russian book since the 18th century. Modern researchers of Russian binding of the 18th — early 20th centuries face a number of problems related to the lack of literature on the topic, including methodological and reference, the lack of specialized collections and exhibitions of decorative paper in Russia and the lack of development in the domestic book science of the terminology for describing the binding materials. This article substantiates the need to create the nomenclature of drawings and link them to a certain chronological period. The author analyses three main groups of problems: terminological, systematization of marble drawings and their chronological correlation, problems of describing paper as a material. The first group includes different interpretations of term and unclear definition of many terms; phenomena of synonymy and polysemy when using particular names of drawings (patterns). Not only historians of the book, but also librarians, restorers, masters of individual binding, second-hand booksellers and bibliophiles have their own independently formed professional dictionary, which gives place to decorative papers. This inconsistency is reinforced by borrowing French, German and English terms, which, in turn, can also be duplicated. The author notes that systematization of decorative papers with marble drawings can be based on the methods of its colouring, but such a technological approach is not sufficient to describe a specific sample of marble paper. The article shows that various patterns periodically gained and lost popularity, then returned to bookbinding practice, but with a number of characteristic changes and additions. Correct description of the paper in binding is impossible without determining its origin (Russian/foreign), the method of production and colouring (manual/machine) and the specific properties of the material itself. At the same time, there are no methods and schemes for describing decorative paper grades. The article highlights that the development of such method will help to significantly narrow the chronological framework when attributing the binding.
Optimization of medical support of patients with partial absence of teeth in the pre- and postoperative period
Authors: Kannoeva M. V. , Zoryan E. V. , Ushakov A. I.
Published: July 2021

The relevance of the research topic.Despite of the improvement of methods of dental implantation the frequency of infectious and inﬂammatory complications caused mainly by infection of the surgical wound with the microﬂora of the oral cavity remains relatively high.

Purpose.Improving of the effciency of surgical treatment of patients with partial secondary adentia during dental implantation and reducing the risk of development and the volume of complications by changing the protocol of medical support in the pre-and postoperative period.

Methods.A comparative analysis of the results of the use of various schemes of medical support including the inclusion of antihomotoxic drugs in 346 patients during intraosseous dental implantation with preliminary surgical preparation of bone tissue in the period 2010-2017 was done. In accordance with the nature of the therapy, all patients were divided into 2 groups. Patients of the 1st group (140 people – 40,5%) underwent standard medical preparation in combination with antihomotoxic medicines. Patients of the 2nd group (139 people – 40,2%) received pre - and postoperative medication without the inclusion of antihomotoxic drugs according to the above scheme. There was also a separate group of patients who were contraindicated antibacterial therapy (67 people – 19,3%), who were prescribed antiseptic and antihomotoxic medicines.

Results.In the early postoperative period, inﬂammatory complications were signifcantly more common in the group of patients received standard therapy in contrast to the groups in which antihomotoxic drugs were included (p < 0.05). In the long-term postoperative period the complications of bone augmentation operations were revealed in 29 cases out of 346, the rate of complications was 8.4% (frequency 10.0%; confdence interval: 5.6-16.4%).

Summary.On the basis of our research we made a conclusion about the usefulness of homeopathic medicines in the standard scheme of the pre - and postoperative medical support of patients during dental implantation and related operations.

Published: July 2021

It is vitally crucial for dentists to increase the quality of personal hygiene among their patients because oral hygiene is the key method of initial preventive action against oral diseases.

Our aim is to increase the quality of personal oral hygiene among students of dentistry. We defned the effciency of plaque removal by sonic powered toothbrushes (SPT – the observation groups) and manual toothbrushes (MT – the control group) with OHI-S – oral hygiene index simplifed and Loe-Silness Gingival index. Based on comparison of the hygiene index results we evaluated the dynamics digital changes before, during and after the examination.

Results of the study. The result of the observation group (Sonic Powered Toothbrush – SPT) is 32.4% higher in comparison with MT based on Loe-Silness Gingival index. The cleaning effciency of SPT by the values of OHI-S was 88.01 ± 0.24%; MT – 25.40 ±0.13%. This indicated that plaque removal was 62.7% more effcient among the participants using SPT.

Findings. The participants of the experiment were in absolutely similar terms, used the same toothpaste; however SPT decreased plaque more effectively than MT in everyday use in studies lasting up to three months.

Relevance of the research topic. The composition and technology for the manufacture of dental ointment based on antimicrobial metronidazole, anesthetic anesthesin and an immunomodula-tor are substantiated and developed - for the frst time a biological product of the beekeeping product of a large wax moth larvae extract.

Puprose – the goal is a clinical and immunological rationale for the use of dental ointment developed composition based on the product of beekeeping for the treatment of inﬂammatory periodontal diseases. Materials and methods. Studies have been conducted in patients with inﬂammatory periodontal disease (CDL), aged from 20 to 70 years. Group I control (n = 25), who had no dental pathology and practically healthy at the time of examination, group II (n = 204) received basic thera-py, group III (n = 120) used a developed dental ointment based on ( Galleria mellonela). Evaluation of the effectiveness of treatment was carried out according to clinical and laboratory parameters. Analysis of the hygienic and clinical state of periodontal tissues was taken into account by the Green-Vermillion, Russel, PMA indices in the Parma modifcation. The state of local immunity was investi-gated according to the indicators of the leukocyte migration test, the quantitative and qualitative con-tent of spontaneously released mixed saliva, the content of total protein in it, secretory immunoglobu-lin A, lysozyme.

Results. The effectiveness of the developed dental ointment is confrmed by the positive dy-namics of clinical indicators in comparison with the basic therapy in 72.3% of cases. The number of sessions per course of treatment for gingivitis and mild periodontitis was reduced to 3, moderate –5–6, and severe to 8 sessions. Indices (GI, PI, PMA) decreased by 6.7; 2.6; 5.1 times, respectively, in comparison with the group before treatment and in 3; 2; 2.6 times, respectively, compared with base-line therapy. Local immunity revealed: an increase in the production of mixed saliva in comparison with baseline data by 2.6 times, its recovery and an increase of 1 ml above the control level (p> 0.05), an increase in protein level (p <0.05), lysozyme concentration and sIgA exceeded the level before the treatment and after the baseline therapy, however, the indices did not recover to the level in the con-trol.

Summaru. Inclusion of dental ointment on the basis of Galleria mellonell into the complex therapy of VZP is a means of correcting violations of local immunity and is a promising new dosage form in practical periodontology

Relevance of the research topic.Evaluation of changes in the index characteristics of oral hygiene, physicochemical parameters of mixed saliva (pH, buffer capacity of saliva, redox potential, osmolality and others) allows to determine the quality of the effect of toothpaste «Рarodontax ultra clean» on the state of the oral cavity. The use of mixed saliva as a biological ﬂuid of the body as an object of study is confrmed by its high information content and availability of diagnostic material. Studies of changes in mixed saliva, whose components affect the composition, accumulation of microbial plaque and the process of its calcifcation are appropriate.

Purpose.То evaluate the clinical effcacy of toothpaste «Рarodontax ultra clean», the complex effect of its components on the tissues of the teeth and of fabric of parоdontium, to determine the possible mechanism of anti-inﬂammatory action.

Materials and methods.The experiment involved 58 people. The clinical examination included: Green-Vermillion hygiene indices; bleeding, gingivitis, parоdontium indices. Laboratory studies of unstimulated mixed saliva included parameters: qualitative analysis of the secret, a number of physico-chemical parameters; crystallographic characteristics. For an integrated assessment of nonspecific resistance of the oral cavity, the reaction of adsorption of microorganisms by epithelial cells was used.

Results.In the course of use by patients of toothpaste «Рarodontax ultra clean», an improvement in the oral hygiene condition was noted, a decrease in the rate of plaque formation was diagnosed in 100% of cases, which is clinically confrmed by positive dynamics of hygiene indices (p < 0.05). With regular use of toothpaste, the inﬂammation of the gums decreases: after 7 days the bleeding of the gums decreases twice, after 14 days - 4.5 times. Summary. The use of toothpaste «Рarodontax ultra clean» leads to a qualitative transformation of the structure of mixed saliva in patients: an improvement in microcrystallization, an increase in salivation, an increase in pH values and bringing it into the range of normal values, an increase in buffer capacity and osmolality. Ingredients such as sodium bicarbonate, silicon dioxide and sodium ﬂuoride contribute to the improvement of metabolic processes in the oral cavity and the adsorption properties of the epithelium after exposure to the investigated toothpaste.

The prevalence of lung diseases is increasing globally. Mortality, morbidity and respiratory disability are a growing health concern. The pulmonary function test is an accurate tool for detecting airway and lung abnormalities. Early diagnosis of respiratory disease is key to preventing mortality and morbidity. The current study has evaluated the relation of the anthropometric parameters and inspiratory parameters of pulmonary function test and also analyzed its behaviour over the growing age in Indian children. The current study included 2109 school-aged children aged 6 to 15. The height, weight, body mass index and body surface area were recorded. The spirometry was performed in accordance with the protocols. The parameters of the inspiratory flow volume loop were recorded. This study observed a good relation between the anthropometric parameters and inspiratory lung function parameters and the parameters were higher in males than in females. The behaviour of these parameters at various points of growing age was analyzed. This study revealed geographical, gender wise variation in the inspiratory parameters. The study also revealed different patterns of lung growth in boys and girls. Hence this study recommends to include inspiratory parameter assessment in the routine assessment of respiratory patients for early and accurate diagnosis of lung pathology in young children.

Современная интенсивная трансформация в обществе требует пристального внимания к изучению процессов функционирования экономики и социальной сферы к сельским территориям, включая сельские агломерации. Тема городских агломераций является достаточно традиционной, тогда как исследований по тематике сельских агломераций в научной литературе сравнительно мало. Целью статьи является исследование процессов агломерирования и возникающих при этом изменений в экономике и социальной сфере. В задачи исследования входило: оценить степень значимости для формирования Ленинск-Кузнецкой сельской агломерации различных условий и особенностей экономики и социальной сферы, выявить, какие из условий способствуют усилению агломерационных связей; определить интенсивность различных видов связей между муниципальными образованиями, входящими в состав сельской агломерации; выяснить степень влияния различных барьеров, препятствующих процессам агломерирования; определить важность формирования агломерации для развития экономики и социальной сферы сельской территории; выявить возможные формы управления сельской агломерацией; оценить последствия процессов агломерирования для муниципальных образований, входящих в состав сельской агломерации. Вместе с тем существующие наработки требуют адаптации к условиям и специфике конкретного региона - Кемеровской области-Кузбасса.

Modern intensive transformation in society requires close attention in the study of the processes of functioning of the economy and social sphere of rural areas, including rural agglomerations. The topic of urban agglomerations is quite traditional, while there are relatively few studies on the topic of rural agglomerations in the scientific literature. The purpose of this article is to study the processes of agglomeration and the resulting changes in the economy and social sphere. Objectives of the study are: to assess the degree of importance for the formation of Leninsk-Kuznetsky rural agglomeration of various conditions and characteristics of the economy and social sphere, to identify which of these conditions contributed to the increasing sintering relations; to determine the intensity of different types of relations between the municipalities forming part of a rural agglomerations; find out the degree of influence of different barriers to the process of agglomerating; to determine the importance of agglomeration for the development of the economy and social sphere of rural areas; to identify possible forms of management of rural agglomeration; to assess the consequences of agglomeration processes for municipalities that are part of the rural agglomeration. At the same time, the existing developments require adaptation to the conditions and specifics of a particular region - the Kemerovo region-Kuzbass.

Published: July 2021

Цель статьи - показать, что в настоящее время институциональная среда ЕАЭС в сфере валютно-финансовых отношений не в полной мере сформирована. Данное обстоятельство негативно отражается на конкурентоспособности стран и является препятствием на пути координации между странами конечных целей социально-экономического развития, что делает актуальным выявление институциональных предпосылок формирования и развития ЕАЭС. Новизна исследования состоит в разработке системных критериев институциональной среды на базе обобщения существующих теоретико-методологических подходов к исследованию структуры институциональной среды экономики, разработке рекомендаций по совершенствованию методологических параметров институциональной среды ЕАЭС в части усиления конвергенции институционального устройства стран-членов в валютно-финансовой сфере.

Nowadays the EAEU institutional environment of the is not fully formed. This circumstance negatively affects the competitiveness of countries and represents an obstacle to the coordination between countries of the ultimate goals of socio-economic development, which makes it relevant to identify the institutional prerequisites for the formation and development of the institutional environment of the EAEU. The novelty of the study consists in the development of criteria for the institutional environment based on the generalization of the existing theoretical and methodological approaches to the study of the structure of the institutional environment of the economy, the issuance of recommendations for improving the parameters of the institutional environment of the EAEU in terms of strengthening the convergence of the institutional structure of the member states in the monetary and financial sphere.
