Published: February 2020

Palladium based membranes are widely used for supplying ultra-high purity hydrogen to a polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEFC) installed on small vehicles and various electronic devices. Compared to pressure swing adsorption (PSA), the use of palladium based membrane is more economical for small size (small capacity) applications. The transportation of hydrogen through a palladium based membrane is governed by Sieverts’ Law and quantified with Fick’s First Law. Since the 20th century, the fabrication of high-performance palladium based membrane for enhanced hydrogen recovery performance has become practical. However, along with the improvement in hydrogen recovery performance, concentration polarisation becomes unavoidable because hydrogen permeation flux starts to affect hydrogen concentration at the membrane surface. Various parametric studies have investigated the effects of membrane thickness, hydrogen molar fraction and total upstream and downstream pressures on concentration polarisation level. The influence of membrane temperature, permeability, type and number of species in the hydrogen mixture, diffusivity of the hydrogen mixture, system configurations and flow patterns are also reported and comprehensively reviewed in this paper. Part II will complete the presentation.

Present-day world economy presents a complex system of economic interrelations of its subjects. An opportunity of incrementing usefulness can be either elemental (for limited number of participants) or maximally complicated or more likely unobtainable (for major part of the countries in the world). The practice testifies that a timely performed transition to the post-industrial type of development can contribute not only to beneficiation of the corresponding courtiers but also to expansion of еtheir living space by means of export alongside with national goods and services of their own culture, traditions and mode of life. As a variant of not only the reserve of economic development of agrarian and industrial countries of the post-Soviet region but a salvation of their cultural identity and language originality, the article offers a project aimed at preservation of the national languages in Russia and Central Asian countries. Its implementation is possible in terms of the format developed in 2013 by PRC «New Silk Road». The financial support of this «global project» can be based on the local business idea of creating an ethno-park in Bolshoye Goloustnoye settlement, which warrants the availability of demand for studying cultures, traditions of the world’s national ethnos, as well as preservation of the national languages.

Authors: Duarte Helder Brito , Mendes Kristine Menezes Barberino , Pereira Álec Paraíso , Dias Larissa Conceição , Menezes Camilla de Souza
Published: February 2020

INTRODUÇÃO: Ventilação Não Invasiva Profilática (VNIP) é uma modalidade de VNI aplicada a pacientes que foram eleitos para extubação, porém possui alto risco de falha. OBJETIVO: descrever e analisar populações favorecidas pela VNIP, impactos e desfechos. MÉTODO: Revisão sistemática, buscaram-se ensaios nas bases de dados PubMed, EMBASE e Cochrane Library com os seguintes critérios de inclusão: publicação nos últimos 20 anos, escrito em inglês, espanhol ou português; idade ? 18 anos; ventilação mecânica ? 48 horas; comparação da VNIP com terapia padrão. Critérios de exclusão: VNIP < 4 horas; e VNIP intermitente. RESULTADOS: Resultaram-se oito estudos. Os desfechos foram: reintubação, Insuficiência Respiratória Pós Extubação (IRPE), mortalidade e permanência na UTI. Características relevantes extraídas: uso de VNIP de resgate, níveis de PaCO2, pressão inspiratória máxima e índice de respiração rápida superficial. Os estudos relatam que a aplicação de VNIP em população heterogênea reduz o risco de desenvolver IRPE, porém parece não haver consistência referente à reintubação, mortalidade na UTI, permanência na UTI e hospitalar. Estes marcadores foram apresentados através de resultados controversos entre os estudos revisados. Em pneumopatas especificamente, VNIP parece não ter impacto direto em reintubação e permanência na UTI. CONCLUSÃO: Os estudos divergem sobre uso da VNIP em prevenir principais desfechos, mesmo em pneumopatas, porém, seu uso em evitar IRPE é positivo. Sendo assim, necessitam-se estudos em populações com melhor predisposição a sucesso na extubação para comprovar a eficácia da VNIP.

Published: February 2020

INTRODUÇÃO: A avaliação do risco de morte e o tempo estimado de permanência em Unidade de Terapia Intensiva (UTI) é uma prática clínica relevante para predizer a gravidade da doença e traçar estratégias eficazes para a melhora do paciente e dos indicadores de qualidade do hospital. OBJETIVO: Avaliar a confiabilidade do escore APACHE IV como preditor de mortalidade e tempo de permanência em uma UTI do sul do estado do Tocantins. MATERIAL E MÉTODO: Pesquisa de caráter descritivo e quali-quantitativo realizada nos prontuários dos pacientes internados em uma UTI do sul do estado do Tocantins.. Foram colhidas informações nos prontuários e aplicado o escore APACHE IV nos pacientes internados na UTI do sul do estado do Tocantins.no período de 24 de Outubro a 26 de Novembro de 2018. Foram excluídos os pacientes com período de internação inferior a 24 horas, que não realizaram todos os exames necessários para o APACHE IV, que foram transferidos do setor ou que não tiveram alta ou óbito ao final dessa pesquisa. Foi utilizado o coeficiente de correlação de Spearman para examinar a relação entre o escore APACHE-IV e o tempo de internação na UTI e para verificar a acurácia do APACHE-IV para mortalidade, à curva Receiver Operator Characteristic (ROC) com uma atribuição de 'bom'> 0,80. RESULTADOS: O escore APACHE IV foi aplicado em dez pacientes, sendo que este superestimou o período de permanência dos pacientes internados na UTI em estudo, com p<0,001 e a mortalidade geral, com diferença absoluta de 20% (p= 0,447). CONCLUSÃO: Baseada neste estudo, o APACHE IV não demonstrou confiabilidade para predição de mortalidade e tempo de permanência, porém a amostra insuficiente pode ter contribuído com esta conclusão.

Arte y Traducción en la Era Digital: Estudio de El 27 || The 27th, de Eugenio Tisselli
Authors: Dot Anna
Published: February 2020

The speed in obtaining responses characterizes our use of the information and communication technologies (ICT). The feeling of immediacy comes along with the occultation of the intermediate processes and the agents that mediate those uses. In this sense, McKenzie Wark came up with the term “third nature”, which refers to the separation between the ICT and the natural resources with which they interact. Likewise, Michael Cronin (2013) described the “3T paradigm” (trade, technology and translation) to address the issue of the invisibilization of the entailments between trade, technology and translation in the digital age. These thoughts emphasize the need of raising awareness about the ICT infrastructure in order to understand the political, economic, social and environmental consequences of the use of digital tools. By taking all this into account, the goal of this paper is to bring to light the interaction between the 3T paradigm and its linkage to environmental issues by analysing Eugenio Tisselli’s digital art project El 27 || The 27th (2014 - nowadays).
Tanatología Mística: S. Mallarmé, H. Michaux, G. Scelsi
Authors: Gonzalo Carbó Antoni
Published: February 2020

The fifth and last string quartet of the great composer, musician and poet Giacinto Scelsi, written in 1984 in memory of his friend Henri Michaux who has just died, which is his last work, stripped, austere, is based on a Fa that fades between a white noise, and that reappears at the end in a vibrato that is the composer’s last breath. His music, Michaux will say, «is magnetized by the ineffable». This quartet constitutes an austere and naked funerary wake, with an overwhelming effect, a testament of Scelsi himself. The composer and poet die two years later than Michaux, taking with him all the secrets of his creation. Song of the swan that precedes the final silence of death, symbolized by the two empty, white pages that close their poems. These white pages constitute in Mallarmé a self-referential Nothing: «Sur le vide papier que la blancheur défend». The viaggio al centro del suono to which Scelsi aspired leads the musician poet to the death of the verbal images and the return to silence of the white surface of the page: «suddenly the white surface», he writes in one of his poems. Annihilatio mystica in the form of a blank page that in the three authors –Mallarmé, Michaux, Scelsi– leads to a wisdom of emptiness.

Se utilizó un método mixto de características exploratorias, lo que permitió realizar una descripción y relación entre las prácticas del liderazgo intermedio. Entre los resultados se encontró una alta tasa de prácticas pedagógicas que implementan los líderes intermedios por sobre los directores, y relaciones directas entre lo que hace el LI y los docentes de aula. Lo anterior, llevó a concluir que desarrollando planes pedagógicos con fuerte alcance en lo que realizan los docentes y estos líderes se alcanzarían resultados sobre la media en los procesos de evaluación docente y principalmente que los estudiantes logren aprendizajes con énfasis en el desarrollo de habilidades superiores del pensamiento.
PSYCHOSOCIAL PRECONDITIONS FOR RESILIENCE BUILDING IN ADOLESCENTS AFFECTED BY THE ARMED CONFLICT
Authors: Basenko O. M.
Published: February 2020

The article examines the problem of resilience building in adolescents affected by the armed conflict; presents and analyzes theoretical and empirical studies on internal and external resources for the individual resilience building in adolescents, resilience development dynamics, experiencing of psychological trauma and choice of coping strategies by adolescents in a context of armed conflicts; examines the concept of resilience building through the approach of resilience as a process and the social ecology model; focuses on crucial role of social and cultural context for the individual resilience development. In a period of adolescence an individual psyche is being transformed and proved to be especially vulnerable. This process of transformation becomes complicated and burdened with psychological trauma experienced in a situation of armed conflict. The resilience approach, in contrast to the traditional trauma-oriented paradigm, focuses on importance of inner potentials and external protective factors for resilience building, on individual capability to activate psychic resources and recover in extreme situation of armed conflict. The resilience approach and social ecology model allow to present structurally the problem of resilience building in conflict-affected adolescents with considering the interaction of inner and external resources: personal characteristics and contextual factors. Negative effect of risk factors in war conditions appear to be decreased or mitigated by activation of protective factors. Individual characteristics, different social and cultural contexts, as well as specifics of an armed conflict situation, shape difference in resilience building and coping processes. All of those should be thoroughly examined and taken into consideration while developing and implementing effective comprehensive intervention programs for resilience building and strengthening.
Influence of various methods of hernia repair on the state of blood flow in the vessels of the ­spermatic cord and germination function of the testicle in men with inguinal hernias
Authors: Guseynova G T
Published: February 2020

Aim. Study of the influence of various methods of hernia repair (auto- and allo-) on testicular blood supply and hormonal background in mature men with inguinal hernias.

Methods. Among 82 male patients aged 1860 years with various clinical forms of inguinal hernias, the effect of Trabucco allohernioplasty (20 patients) on the blood supply and reproductive function of the testicles was studied in comparison with Girard (19 patients) and Postempskiy autohernioplasty (22 patients), as well as Lichtenstein alloplasty (21 patients) in dynamics before and after 1, 6 and 12 months after surgery. The linear velocity of blood flow in the testicular artery (a. testicularis) was determined at the point of its exit as part of the spermatic cord from the outer ring of the inguinal canal using the ultrasonic diagnostic system using a linear sensor with a scanning frequency of 7.5 MHz. After identification of the testicular artery, the systolic linear velocity of blood flow in this artery was determined on the side of hernial protrusion, as well as on the intact side. At the same time, the concentration of total testosterone in the peripheral blood was studied by the ELIZA method.

Results. In the postoperative period (for 1 year) we recorded a decrease in linear velocity of blood flow in comparison with the baseline preoperative level in patients with inguinal hernias after all methods of hernioplasty. However, the greatest decrease of linear velocity of blood flow was observed afer local tissue hernioplasty by Girard (by 2.8 cm/sec, 14.9%; p 0.01) and by Postempskiy (by 3.4 cm/sec, 17.5%), and the least after alloplasty by Lichtenstein (by 0.5 cm/sec, 2.7%; p 0.05) and alloplasty by Trabucco (by 0.1 cm/sec, 0.5%; p 0.05). It was revealed that in patients (men) with inguinal hernias, testosterone level in the blood 1 year after autohernioplasty by Postempsky significantly (p 0.01) decreased by 6.8%, after autoplasty by Girard by 4.3% (p 0.05), after hernioalloplasty by Lichtenstein by 3.4% (p 0.05). At the same time, after Trabucco allohernioplasty, a decrease in the level of testosterone in the blood did not occur, and, on the contrary, a non-significant (p 0.05) trend of its increased production by 0.5% 12 months after surgery was revealed.

Conclusion. The studied methods (especially autoplasty by Postempskiy and Girard) have a pronounced negative impact on the blood supply and the germination function of testicles with significant reduction in the concentration of testosterone in the blood; except allohernioplasty according to the method of Trabucco, after which along with the smallest flow reduction (by 0.5%; p 0.05) no increase of the concentration of this hormone occurs.
Orbital proportion indices and microlipografting for correction of secondary post-traumatic enophthalmos
Authors: Sultanova N N , Alieva M S
Published: February 2020

Aim. Aesthetic rehabilitation of patients with secondary post-traumatic enophthalmos.

Methods. From 2013 to 2018, 14 patients with secondary post-traumatic enophthalmos were treated at the maxillofacial surgery clinic of the Azerbaijan Medical University. All patients underwent reconstruction of the damaged orbital wall, so its bone volume was restored. However, in the postoperative period, a deficiency of the orbital soft tissue was noted. In preparation for the surgery, all patients underwent the following types of examination: three-dimensional computed tomography, photographic, anthropometric measurements with the determination of proportional indices and computer simulation. Based on the data obtained, the orbital proportion indices were calculated: intercanthal index (en-en)100/(ex-ex); orbital protrusion index (ex-ex)100/(ex-en,rl)+(en-en); orbital width index (ex-en,l)100/(en-en); eye fissure (palpebral) index (ps-pi, l)100/(ex-en,l); orbital index (os-or,l)100/(ex-en,l); eyebrow orbital height index (os-or,l)100/(sci-or,l); index of vertical orbital contour (os-or,l)100/(ps-os+pi-or)+(ps-pi); eyelid height index (pi-or,l)100/(ps-os,l). Microlipografting was performed according to the Coleman method with modification by T. Marten. Fat aspiration was performed with a blunt cannula with a diameter of 2.12.4 mm and a 10 ml syringe, without anesthetic administration. Prior to microlipografting, fibrotic cords between the skin and underlying tissues were dissected using a sharp needle and a V-shaped cannula. Microlipografting was performed using microcannulas of 0.71.1 mm. The fat microtransplant was introduced in two layers: under the circular muscle of the eye and subperiostally in the orbit.

Results. In 11 cases, with an unexpressed form of secondary post-traumatic enophthalmos, a good aesthetic result was recorded. In 3 patients with a pronounced form of enophthalmos, a satisfactory aesthetic result was obtained; in these cases, repeated microlipografting was carried out.

Conclusion. Microlipografting based on the calculation of the orbit proportions indices during rehabilitation of patients with secondary post-traumatic enophthalmos is a minimally invasive and effective procedure.
Features of the dynamics of corticosteroid receptors in the myocardium of animals with different resistance to hypoxia in the post resuscitation period
Authors: Bayburina G A
Published: February 2020

Aim. To characterize the peculiarities of the dynamics of the level of corticosteroid receptors in the myocardium of animals with different resistance to hypoxia in the post-resuscitation period.
Methods. Experimental studies were carried out on male non-inbred white rats, divided into 2 groups by hypoxia resistance. A 5-minute arrest of the systemic circulation was modeled under ether anesthesia with intrathoracic clamping of the cardiovascular cluster with subsequent resuscitation. The observation period was 35 days. The content of corticosterone and aldosterone was determined in the blood plasma, the concentration of glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid receptors in myocard homogenates was determined as well.
Results. On days 1 to 3 of the post-resuscitation period in rats highly resistant to hypoxia, the dynamics of plasma corticosterone concentration and the content of corticosteroid receptors was unidirectional. Starting from the 5th day, against the background of a statistically significant decrease in the level of plasma corticosterone, a gradual increase in the density of corticosteroid receptors, mostly glucocorticoid, was observed, most pronounced on the 14th day and remaining until the end of the observation. In animals with low resistance to hypoxia, the dynamics of corticosteroid receptors was characterized by a predominance of mineralocorticoid content in almost all periods of observation. On days 13 of post-resuscitation period on the background of high concentrations of corticosteroid hormones, the minimum content of glucocorticoid receptors was noted. A decrease in the mineralocorticoid receptor level was recorded only on the first day, and in all subsequent periods of the experiment, the control indicators were significantly higher by 1.41.6 times. Strengthened mineralocorticoid signaling in the myocardium, characteristic of animals with low resistance to hypoxia, may be associated with the development of hypertrophy and fibrosis, inflammation, impaired electrical function. An increase in glucocorticoid receptors, characteristic of animals with a high resistance to hypoxia, has an adaptive effect, limiting the inflammatory response, the potential mechanism may be associated with increased expression of type 11-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase.
Conclusion. The identified features can have a significant influence on the course of the post-resuscitation period and determine the long-term forecast.

Published: February 2020

Precise population-based data on the osteoporotic hip fracture (HF) rate play an invaluable role in the assessment of burden of osteoporosis as well as in development of the national clinical fracture risk prediction tool (FRAX). Currently, these data in Uzbekistan is unavailable. Aim. To create a system for the all HF detection to calculate their incidence in Uzbekistan, and to assess the general physicians (GP) and primary care nurses role in this system.

Materials and methods. Cohort study was carried out in 20112017 in the Pap district of Uzbekistan We had revealed the national trauma care records peculiarities and then organized the prospective study. The trauma care records were monitored. Besides, all medical specialists including GPs, GP nurses and the community leaders were actively involved into the search and verification of non-hospitalized hip fracture patients escaping trauma care statistics.

Results. Overall, among HF patients, only 34% were hospitalized, and 26% took outpatient trauma care. Additional 29% of HF patients were found only with the help of GPs. GP nurses in collaboration with the community leaders disclosed additional 11% patients who had been staying at home without any medical care. The annual standardized HF incidence in people older than 40 years enriched 357.7 for women and 190.2 for men per 100 000.

Conclusion. Collection of epidemiological information on HF incidence in Uzbekistan was possible only with the help of GPs and GP nurses as key figures of primary care. The obtained epidemiological data will be incorporated into the first created Uzbek national FRAX model to assess the 10-year risk of osteoporotic fracture in clinical practice.
Finding, Organizing, and Preserving Legacy Nuclear Test Monitoring Data—Examples from the Livermore Nevada Network
Authors: Walter William R.
Published: February 2020

A challenge for geophysical research is the relatively short time for which continuous digital data have been available. There are many events of research interest where much of the data were collected by analog or temporary digital means. These legacy data require special efforts to find, organize, and preserve for future research. Here, we focus on one type of legacy data, nuclear explosions, and associated events (e.g., collapses, aftershocks) of high interest for nuclear monitoring research and development. For nuclear tests conducted in Nevada, the Lawrence Livermore Nevada Network recorded valuable data on a variety of formats. In this article, we briefly review this network, and describe one set of data that previously was available via CD-ROM by request, and since 2018 has become available through Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology as assembled dataset 18-001.

Published: February 2020

La presente investigación tuvo el objetivo de aplicar los pasos iniciales de la herramienta TMP (Mantenimiento Productivo Total) en el área de harina de pescado de una empresa industrial. Para determinar los problemas ocasionados por el mantenimiento se analizaron 25 días productivos. Inicialmente, se detectó que la empresa tenía un deficiente sistema de mantenimiento donde no se cumplía con el programa y existían diferentes tiempos muertos por la falta de organización en el ambiente de trabajo. Se determinó, que el tolvin de antioxidante tenía la mayor frecuencia de fallos; sin embargo, su mantenibilidad era la más baja de todas, dado que las reparaciones se hacen con facilidad. Por otro lado, el secador que tiene tres veces menos fallas que el tolvin de antioxidante presentaba reparaciones más complicadas y con mayor mantenibilidad. Durante los siguientes 12 días de la aplicación de TPM, en el caso del secador, la mantenibilidad se redujo en 6 min debido al ahorro de transporte a causa de las 5 s. En el caso de la productividad hubo un aumento de 6 % en la productividad (15 a 17 sacos hora), debido a la reducción de fallas y los tiempos muertos provocados por ellas. Por último, el OEE aumento un 0,68 % con una esperanza de incremento del 16,32 % en un periodo de un año, con tal aumento se puede demostrar que el TPM es funcional y efectivo para mejorar la eficiencia del equipo.
“We are in demand today, we are needed”. The Role of Russia in the World and the “Eastern Factor” in International Politics
Authors: Naumkin Vitaliy
Published: February 2020

In December 2018, Vitaly Naumkin, Academic Director of the Oriental Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences and a distinguished Islamologist and political scientist, met with students and faculty of the Kazan Federal University (KFU) for an open discussion. The Q&A session took place shortly after Academician Naumkin was awarded the Order of Friendship, Duslık, for “his substantial input in the implementation of joint educational, scientific and historical and cultural projects” by the president of Tatarstan Rustam Minnikhanov. In addition to emphasising the importance of strengthening lateral ties between Orientalists and Oriental research centres of Russia, Vitaly Naumkin also discussed with the students of the Institute of International Relations some of the pressing issues of international politics, and in particular the global importance of the Oriental factor and the increasing influence of Russia in the East. Here, we publish excerpts from Vitaly Naumkin’s discussion with students and other participants of the session, among which were the editor-in-chief of the journal Pax Islamica Aydar Yu.

China in the Context of World History
Authors: Nepomnin Oleg E.
Published: February 2020

This work by Oleg E. Nepomnin, a distinguished Sinologist, historian, theoretician and economist, looks at the way traditional Chinese ontological principles of social and state organisation were combined with modern “capitalist” growth principles and presents the author’s theory about the way traditional Chinese empire developed in a cyclical, dynastic fashion. Inscribing China into the global context, the author splits the Middle Kingdom’s continuous, multi-century history into eight basic cycles: Early Han, Late Han, then, some four centuries later, Tang, Sung, Ming, Qing, then Taiping and, finally, the eighth Maoist cycle which began in 1950 and is still unfolding. Addressing questions posed by generations of researchers before him, Dr Nepomnin convincingly argues in favour of his central tenet: that the linear forward movement, widely accepted as the core historical dynamic of Western Europe, does not quite apply to China.
Matteo Ripa and His Travel to China: Extracts from the Logbook
Authors: Kruglova Maria S.
Published: February 2020

Matteo Ripa (1682–1746) was an Italian priest and a Catholic missionary who, obeying the decision of the Holy See, together with other missionaries from the Sacred Congregation for the Propagation of Faith travelled to China, where he bore witness to events that gave birth to the so-called Chinese Rites controversy. While Matteo Ripa’s memoir, Giornale, is an important source on the history of China, no less interesting are excerpts from the logbook he maintained during his travel to the Middle Kingdom. Father Ripa methodically documented what he saw, gave a detailed account of events and included in the text of his journal drawings of various types of fauna and fruit that were a curiosity for Europeans of his time. In this article, excerpts from Matteo Ripa’s travel journal are published in Russian for the first time.
Cairo in January 2018: City, People, Books
Authors: Mikulski Dimitri V.
Published: February 2020

Cairo is one of the great cities of the world, home to separate architectural monuments and to whole architectural complexes formed in various historical settings. The author encountered and studied one such ensemble in January 2018, and watched the lives of Cairenes—some of whom he interviewed. Cairo is also one of the book capitals of the Arab world, and the author had an opportunity to take part in Cairo’s annual International Book Fair, where he was fortunate enough to acquire two valuable editions of Arabic poetry and prose. The article shows how both Cairo itself and the everyday culture of its inhabitants are a peculiar mix of modernity and tradition.

Numerous epidemiological studies have suggested a link between vitamin D deficiency and the development of various autoimmune diseases, including diabetes mellitus type 1, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, multiple sclerosis or systemic lupus erythematosus. More recently, such a link has been also proposed for autoimmune bullous diseases (AIBD). This is a relatively rare and potentially life-threatening, organ-specific group of inflammatory skin diseases characterized by the presence of tissue-bound and circulating autoantibodies against various molecules present in desmosomes (in pemphigus diseases) or hemidesmosomes (in pemphigoid diseases). In addition to the well-known role of vitamin D in calcium and phosphate homeostasis, the hormonally active vitamin D metabolite, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (calcitriol), exerts potent effects on cellular differentiation and regulation of immune responses via binding to the vitamin D receptor present in most cells of the immune system. Since cells of both, the innate and adaptive immune systems, are known to be relevant in AIBD, the role of vitamin D analogues in the treatment of patients with these disorders deserves much attention. This mini-review summarizes recent epidemiological and experimental studies on vitamin D involvement in the autoimmune bullous diseases.

The main purpose of this study was conducting psychosocial intervention/training to selected schools of South Western Ethiopia. Three school principals, teachers of students with disabilities in the integrated classrooms, parents of the same and selected students with disabilities involved in the training conducted at their respective schools. The intervention study involved ecological perspectives of approaching the individuals’ responsible assisting students with disabilities. Participants were selected purposively from each category where manual of training was employed for three groups: students/children with disabilities, parents and teachers of these children. The manual developed by researcher was evaluated critically by co-trainers and the trainee. The result indicated that the manual is of standard type which has to be organized as a guide or handbook of training in the psycho-social intervention. It incorporated foremost disability areas that had been covered in short-term training with all intervention strategies to be followed by concerned bodies. Finally, it is underlined that the manual has to be organized in more comprehensive way and been given to all stakeholders in the education of students with disabilities in the country.

Subject: The paper deals with measured biomedical characteristics of samples of a prosthodontic thermoplastic polymer, in regards to certain potentially pathogenic species of oral microflora. Evaluation and comparative analysis of С. albicans adhesion and colonization activity on the prosthodontic material surface were undertaken.

Materials and methods: The research used the following reference strains: C. albicans, S. aureus, S. epidermidis and Escherichia coli. The biofilms were visualized by means of a plate reader, PowerWave X (USA) after staining with 0.1% aqueous solution of gentian violet and alcohol extraction of the dye. The bacteria were tested for viability by direct inoculation of selective media.

Results: С. albicans was found to produce a more prominent film on the thermoplastic polymer than other potentially pathogenic microorganisms.

Conclusions: Satisfactory biomedical characteristics of the thermoplastic material allow it to be used for prosthodontic purposes.

Subject. The analysis of the results of a clinical examination of workers of the special economic zone "Alabuga" of the Republic of Tatarstan on the prevalence and intensity of diseases of hard tissues of the teeth is carried out. The goal is to determine the prevalence and intensity of diseases of hard tissues of teeth among workers in an industrial enterprise. Methodology. The study was conducted using clinical dental examination and statistical analysis of the data. All the subjects were divided into the main group, which included 370 employees of the SEZ "Alabuga" of the Republic of Tatarstan, and a comparison group — 297 people of the same age group working at JSC Chemical Plant named after L.Ya. Karpova "(Mendeleevsk). Dental status of workers was determined by the KPU index and the USP group index (level of dental care). Results. The results of the examination of the state of the oral cavity in the main group and the comparison group of workers in industrial enterprises showed certain differences. A comprehensive dental examination of the studied contingent of the SEZ “Alabuga” revealed a high prevalence of pathology of dental hard tissues. The prevalence rate of dental caries was 100 % at an intensity of 2.1, which corresponds to a high level of intensity according to WHO. Nosological forms of non-carious lesions of the hard tissues of the teeth were more common than in the control group: tooth pigmentation and plaque were diagnosed — in 81.4 % of cases, wedge-shaped tooth defects — in 34.8 %, hyperesthesia — in 32.7 %, and pathological tooth abrasion — in 32.4 %. Conclusions. The clinical study allowed us to identify areas for improving the provision of dental care and preventive measures to employees of individual industrial sectors.

Subject. Tobacco smoking is a common bad habit in the world. The problem of smoking affects not only social, but also medical, including dental, aspects. The irritating effect of nicotine on the oral mucosa and salivary glands leads to the development of stomatitis, xerostomia and halitosis. Prevention of diseases of the oral cavity of smokers has its own characteristics in connection with changes in plaque and oral fluid. The article presents the experience of rapid diagnostics of the negative effects of smoking as a controlled process in the practice of a dentist.

The aim is to evaluate the effectiveness of rapid diagnosis in chronic smokers based on a statistical analysis of the type of microcrystallization of mixed saliva (CC).

Methodology. A clinical examination of the oral cavity of 120 volunteers (58 women and 62 men) aged 18 to 44 years (average age — 22.50 ± 2.59 years) was conducted. The main group of smokers included 75 people, the comparison group (non-smoking volunteers) — 45. SS sampling and statistical analysis of microcrystallization types in smokers and non-smokers were performed twice: before and 15 minutes after smoking.

Results. The appearance of pathological morphotypes of microcrystallization SS indicates the negative effect of tobacco smoking on oral fluid. Data were obtained on the deterioration of the function of saliva in smokers, which creates the conditions for enhancing pathological processes in the oral cavity.

Conclusions. Smoking negatively affects the morphological picture — the microcrystalline structure of the SS. Structural changes in crystallized SS can serve as diagnostic signs of diseases and can be used in the diagnosis and prevention of diseases of the oral organs during smoking.

Published: February 2020

Purpose of the study: This study seeks to show that religious contestation in Jayapura, as apparent through the widespread use of religious symbols in the city, is not only a form of resistance against other faiths but also reflective of historical apprehensiveness. Studies on Muslim-Christian relations tend to deny the historical perspective by giving more attention to economic and political factors. Methodology: As the basis of its analysis, this study uses visual data in the form of photographs. Further data was collected from informants through unstructured interviews. Using a phenomenological approach, data were analyzed to ascertain the meaning of the studied phenomenon. Main Findings: This study shows that religious contestation in Papua, as manifested in public religious symbols, is not only a form of resistance against other faiths but also a continuation of unresolved interfaith tensions. Applications of this study: Knowledge of the interfaith contestation, as manifested through the public display of religious symbols, is of paramount importance in creating a spatial planning policy that accommodates a multiethnic and multireligious society. Novelty/Originality of this study: While previous studies have tended to show the causes of interfaith conflict, often by emphasizing religious differences, this study finds a shared space that offers an opportunity for religious accommodation and the resolution of interfaith tensions.
Armia Królestwa Bosporańskiego w wojnie lat 45–49
Authors: Goronczarowskij Władimir
Published: February 2020

Opowieść Tacyta o przebiegu wojny bosforskiej w latach 45–49 n.e. to jedyne pisemne świadectwo o dziejach bosporańskiej armii w pierwszych wiekach naszej ery. Sojusz Kotysa i Rzymian z sarmackim plemieniem Aorsów tłumaczy się koniecznością użycia kawalerii, która mogłaby sprostać innym koczownikom pod względem liczebności i jakości broni. Kolumna marszowa armii sprzymierzonej składała się z kolumny piechoty z taborem oraz jazdy, która poruszała się w przedniej i tylnej straży. Ta praktyka wykształciła się wyniku doświadczeń wojskowych zdobytych w bitwach z Sarmatami.
Przemarsz armii koronnej pod Chocim podczas kampanii letniej 1538 roku w świetle dokumentacji skarbowo-wojskowej
Authors: Bołdyrew Aleksander

Szczegółowa analiza kampanii wojennych zazwyczaj obejmuje kwestie związane z taktyką, walką, uzbrojeniem czy pochodzeniem żołnierzy. Mniej popularne są natomiast takie zagadnienia, jak np. przemieszczenia armii, obozowanie czy życie koszarowe/garnizonowe. Stosunkowo dobrze zachowane materiały źródłowe dotyczące letniej kampanii wojennej przeprowadzonej w 1538 r. przeciw Mołdawii pozwalają na dokładne odtworzenie trasy, a właściwie tras przemarszu oddziałów koronnych z miejsc lustracji pod zamek chocimski. Choć armia koronna w tej kampanii nie stanowiła homogenicznej grupy (pod względem przynależności do formacji, stosowanych armatur, pochodzenia społecznego czy terytorialnego), to warto zwrócić uwagę na jej aktywność, ponieważ może ona stać się podstawą do szerszego wnioskowania, również w odniesieniu do innych kontekstów geograficznych i chronologicznych.
Wojskowi wykładowcy warszawskiej Szkoły Aplikacyjnej Artylerii i Inżynierii i ich udział w powstaniu listopadowym
Authors: Kita Jarosław
Published: February 2020

W czasach Królestwa Polskiego do wybuchu powstania listopadowego ważną rolę społeczną, polityczną, wychowawczą i narodową odgrywała armia. Była ona oczkiem w głowie władz państwowych, a także świadomej narodowo części społeczeństwa. Bycie oficerem dawało prestiż społeczny i umożliwiało karierę, również polityczną. Stąd też młodzieńcy wywodzący się z rodzin elity społecznej starali się zdobyć odpowiednie wykształcenie, aby zdobyć szlify oficerskie. Najlepszą uczelnią wojskową była wówczas Szkoła Aplikacyjna Artylerii i Inżynierii w Warszawie. Jej wykładowcami byli znakomici oficerowie, którzy w zdecydowanej większości mieli dużą wiedzę i doświadczenie wyniesione z ukończonych szkół i uczestnictwa w walkach napoleońskich. W chwili wybuchu powstania listopadowego stanęli oni przed decyzją złamania przysięgi złożonej carowi/królowi. Niemal wszyscy wykładowcy uczelni przystąpili do walki z Rosją w 1831 r. i wykonywali powierzone im obowiązki do końca powstania. Dwaj z nich zginęli w obronie suwerenności Królestwa Polskiego, inni pozostali po klęsce w kraju, składając przysięgę wierności carowi Mikołajowi I. Żaden z wykładowców Szkoły Aplikacyjnej nie udał się na emigrację. W okresie międzypowstaniowym podjęli różne obowiązki, najczęściej usuwając się z życia publicznego. Powstanie sprawiło, że stali się realistami politycznymi.
