The Problem of Correlation of Faith and Knowledge in the Philosophy of F.M. Dostoevsky
Authors:   Novosibirsk State Medical University  of Ministry of Health, Izvekova Tatyana Fedorovna
Published: June 2020

The main subject of the paper is the well-known and truly everlasting issue – the phenomenon of the deep relationship between faith and knowledge. Using four basic and interrelated methodological approaches – metaphysical, dialectical, hermeneutic and phenomenological – this paper highlights the following: modern science and philosophy, having realized the high significance and relevance of the issue of the relationship between faith and knowledge, has not yet been able to provide a conceptual-holistic solution in this regard. Otherwise, the performed historical and philosophical paper, the main conclusions of which are presented in this cycle of articles, showed that such a decision more than a hundred years ago was ingeniously given by F.M. Dostoyevsky. This paper shows the process and result of the development and justification of F.M. Dostoyevsky's new philosophical concept of the relationship between faith and knowledge, based on: attribution-holistic their unity; possibilities of deep mutual transitions (transformations) of faith and knowledge into each other; relative cognitive transparency of these processes through special human efforts aimed at finding metaphysical (absolute) truths and meanings of human being (F.M. Dostoyevsky himself often carried out such a search through his famous “metaphysical experiments”). The author draws attention to the fact that the philosophical concept of the relationship of faith and knowledge proposed by F.M. Dostoyevsky can be considered as a valuable research resource in the context of modern searches for a solution to this always relevant and fundamentally complex issue. The author shows a holistic historical and philosophical analysis of the metaphysical views of F.M. Dostoyevsky on the attribution unity of faith and knowledge in the context of modern conceptual ideas about this phenomenon. At this point, the author highlights two aspects: a cross-temporal and comparativistic way of exploring perceptions of faith, represented in the writer's paper, against the background of basic modern views on the phenomenon of faith. This makes it possible to show all their topicality, significance and depth in the most complete and large-scale way. The next stage of the work is a direct analysis of the presentation of the philosophical views of F.M. Dostoyevsky concerning the unity of faith and knowledge.

Published: June 2020

Introduction: The distribution of Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis among Malaysian healthy adults and their capability to produce enzyme hyaluronidase are less reported. Hyaluronidase degrade hyaluronic acid in animal connective tissue and facilitate bacterial spreading in host body. This study aims to identify the distribution of both Staphylococci species in healthy subject, the hyaluronidase producer among the isolates and the association of the latter with site of isolation (palm skin and anterior nares) and gender ofthe host. Methods: A total of 108 swab samples were collected from anterior nares and palm of 54 healthy subjects. The bacteria were identified through microscopic and biochemical tests, before screened for hyaluronidase production using hyaluronic acid diffusion rapid plate method. Results: Total of 139 bacterial isolates were identified; 68 isolates are S. aureus, 63 S. epidermidis and 8 other bacterial species. Staphylococcus aureus was highly isolated from palm (57%) than anterior nares (47%). On the contrary for S. epidermidis was highly isolated from anterior nares (53%) than from palm skin (43%). Equal proportion was found for both species in male and female subject. A total of 77 (59%) isolates produced hyaluronidase; 55%are S. aureus and 45% are S. epidermidis. Hyaluronidase-producer isolates are equally found between anterior nares (56%) and palm skin (61%) or male (57%) and female subject (60%) regardless of Staphylococcal species. No significant value was recorded for any analysis. Conclusion: Capability of commensal S. aureus and S. epidermidis isolated from healthy subject to produce hyaluronidase may indicate their potential as opportunistic pathogen whenever the opportunity arises in any way.

Published: June 2020

Six okra varieties (F1 Yodana, Kirikou, Volta, Yeleen, Kousko and Local) sold and consumed in Daloa (Côte d’Ivoire) were evaluated with regards to the nutritional, antioxidant and mineral contents. The result of the study revealed that the proximate composition in dry weight basis was significantly (P < 0.05) varied and ranged: dry matter 87.83-92.33%, crude protein 13.65-22.63%, crude fat 2.78-3.94%, crude fiber 21.08-26.70%, crude ash 7.16-10.59%, carbohydrate 39.28-54.25%, and energy value 274.78-297.97 kcal/100 g. Volta had the highest content in both protein and fat. Yeleen had the highest ash content, Local had the highest fiber content, while Kirikou presented the highest content in both carbohydrate and energy values. The phenolic content ranges from 111.42 to 156.00 mg/100 g while the vitamin C ranges from 25.30 to 49.60 mg/100 g in dry weight basis. Volta had the highest content in both phenolic and vitamin C. The mineral contents (mg/100 g) in dry weight basis were also significantly (P < 0.05) varied. Potassium was the most abundant macro-element (1642.71-2519.84) followed by calcium (460.80-767.72), magnesium (345.46-432.70) and Iron (0.42-3.18) in all the varieties. Interrelationships between the parameters analysed and the different okra varieties were investigated by principal component analysis (PCA). PCA revealed differences between the okra varieties and classified them into three groups on the basis of the measured parameters: Group 1 (F1 Yodana, Volta and Local), Group 2 (Kirikou and Kousko) and Group 3 (Yeleen). This study provided important information about the nutritional composition of okra from Daloa, which can help to increase production and consumption of these nutrient-rich vegetables and will help reduce the nutrition-related disorders in Africa.
The Phenomenon of “The Perm disaster” of 1918 in the Assessment of Modern Researchers of the Civil War in Russia
Authors: Skipina I. V. , Moskovkin V. V.
Published: June 2020

The article is devoted to the peculiarities of presentation of the phenomenon of “Perm disaster” by modern researchers of the Civil War in Russia. The purpose of the article is to analyze publications published in the last decade on the history of the military operation near Perm in December 1918, to summarize and determine the prospects for studying this issue. It is noted that historians have established the causes, course and results of the operation. It is reported that today it is seen as a prologue to a cardinal change in the situation on the Eastern Front. The authors claim that as a result of the Perm operation, contemporaries witnessed not only the defeat of the Red Army, but also the manifestation of the power of the Bolshevik dictatorship. The conclusions made by researchers are summarized: Permian events led to an aggravation of the military, socio-economic, and political situation on the Eastern Front and had a negative impact on everyday life. It is shown how modern historians have determined the significance of these events for their participants: the Bolsheviks came to the decision to intensify terror, the white - to the conclusion that a general offensive was necessary, the population - to the understanding of the world as the most important life value. It is emphasized that the most promising in the study of the topic has become an integrated approach based on the rejection of politicization and myth-making of the revolutionary past.
Basic Strategies for Indirect Reduced Apology in English
Authors: Skvortsova E. B. , Bochkarev A. I.
Published: June 2020

Attention is paid to the methods of implementing direct and indirect speech acts of apology. It is shown that the use of an indirect speech act of apology along with a direct speech act of apology is typical of the English language. It is noted that the tendency toward the use of stable expressions observed in the English language allows us to analyze the implementation of the indirect speech act of apology with the help of linguistic corps by requesting clichéd expressions used instead of standard speech apology formulas. The description of the methods of formation of indirect speech acts is given. The conditions necessary for the implementation of these speech acts are indicated. The authors dwell on a detailed study of such a method of forming an indirect speech act of apology as reduction, since this method is the main one for an indirect apology. An overview of the main strategies for reduced apology in the English language is given. The analysis of the implementation of these strategies, which can be used individually or combined with each other depending on the context, is performed. The novelty of the study is that for the first time a detailed description of the realizations of the reduced speech act of apology based on the material of linguistic corps is given.
German Youth Language: Word-Formation Types of Suffix Nouns and Their Semantic Relations
Authors: Shamova N. V. , Ponomarenko L. N.
Published: June 2020

The article is devoted to the study of word-formation types in modern German youth slang and a description of their systemic paradigmatic relations. The research material was a large group of suffix nouns, presented in the dictionaries of youth slang, as well as on youth literature sites. The suffix nouns formed by the word-formation type “producing basis + suffix” are analyzed in the article. The deep connections of motivating and motivated units are revealed, which reflect the logic of the connections of objects of reality in the linguistic consciousness, and the implementation of these relations in word-formation types is also traced. As a result of the analysis of word-formation meanings in the group of German nouns, which are youth slangisms constructed according to the “base + suffix” model, 4 main word-formation types were identified. The analysis proves that the thematic associations of the same word-formation type are in a variety of paradigmatic relationships, which at the lexical level are manifested in the form of synonymy, hypo- and hyperonymy, antonymy and polysemy. The word-formation types of suffix nouns studied in this work allowed to conclude that the intra-type and inter-type semantic relations are manifested most variably in the lexical-semantic field “Human designation”.
Issues of Geopoetics in Modern Literary Criticism
Authors: Alexandrova-Osokina O. N.
Published: June 2020

The results of the study and systematization of literary research on the problems of geopoetics as a direction in Russian literary criticism are presented in this review article. The relevance of the study is seen in the need to comprehend and systematize the accumulated literary experience in the field of the geopoetic paradigm of literary research. The scope of work identified in the research process is an indicator of a growing scientific interest in the aforementioned problems. In the study of the material, it was shown that the theoretical component of the work is the study of the nature of the geopoetic image, which is understood as the artistic image of the geographical space as a natural, historical-cultural and value-semantic unity. The works representing geopoetic regional models (“texts”) of Russian literature: northern, Crimean, Altai, Ural, Far Eastern, sacred are identified and substantively characterized in the article. The analyzed material allowed us to present a generalized artistic structure of the geopoetic model of the region, including mythopoetic images, natural history and historical-cultural realities, historical aspects of the formation of geopoetic representations, folklore and literary texts. The study represents geopoetic research as a systematic scientific direction uniting scientists from different regions of Russia and having formed within its borders a methodology and scientific tools for identifying and analyzing the geopoetic content of Russian literature. The systematization of the material presented in this article will help create a clear picture of the theoretical and historical-scientific development of the problem.
The 1957 Domestic Loan and the Completion of the Era of “Voluntary-Obligatory Loans” (Middle Ural)
Authors: Mamyachenkov V. N. , Ivanov E. A. , Shvedov V. V.
Published: June 2020

The purpose of this article is to investigate events related to a significant fact in the economic history of the USSR - the actual refusal by the state of its obligations on previously placed domestic loans in 1957. The relevance of the study is due to the interest shown in researching the experience of overcoming the financial crisis. The scientific novelty of the study is seen in the fact that archival materials not previously published are introduced into the scientific circulation. It is stated that from the point of view of the modern economy, government borrowing is an indispensable and mandatory attribute of public finances. It is stated that the reason for the need for such borrowing lies in the property of a loan to reduce the time of realization of personal and social needs. It focuses on the fact that the culmination and final moment of the era of permanent state internal borrowing was the factual default of the state declared in the spring of 1957. A review of the statements of citizens characterizing their attitude to this event is carried out. It is proved that the default did not have a significant impact on the state of the family budgets of citizens of the country. It is concluded that in the history of the Soviet Union the mentioned event will remain an event of the passive-palliative type.

Published: June 2020

Spaghetti is one of the most consumed food (pasta) products in the world. It is cheap, nutritious, delicious, and easy to prepare. Its quality is based on its raw material and is measured by its color, appearance, and primarily its cooking characteristics. The purpose of this study is to determine whether a correlation exists between spaghetti quality and price. In this context, physicochemical and cooking quality of 16 different spaghetti samples obtained from nationwide chain markets in Mersin (Turkey) were evaluated and compared with their prices. Results showed that spaghetti samples had similar values in terms of optimum cooking time, cooking loss, and water absorption capacity. The quality characteristics of spaghetti samples were found to be acceptable according to the information in the literature. At the same time, insignificant correlation existed between the quality parameters and price of spaghetti samples, with an exception for the parameters of color and elasticity. A positive correlation of 0.74 was found between the price and color characteristics (CIELAB) of samples. Samples that provide the highest elasticity values also had the highest price. Similarly, the lowest elasticity value was obtained for one of the samples with the lowest price.

Published: June 2020

The widespread use of antibiotics often causes increase in the bacterial drugs resistance and causes many side effects in humans. Medical plants have antimicrobial effects against most pathogenic bacteria and can serve as harmless replacement to antibiotics. The aim of this study was to assess the antibacterial effect of five medicinal plant prevailed in Kurdistan region namely; Cinnamon (Cinnamomum cassia (L.) D.Don), Nigella (Nigella sativa L.), Allium (Allium hirtifolium Boiss.), Carrot (Daucus carota L.), and Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare Mill.) against pathogenic Gram positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus), and pathogenic Gram negative bacteria (Salmonella typhi and Escherichia coli). The evaluation of antibacterial activity for these plant extracts was carried out using agar-well diffusion method. Results showed that minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of A. hirtifolium against tested bacterial isolates were (25â€‰mg/mL), the lowest MIC values for S. aureus were (25â€‰mg/mL) observed with C. cassia, N. sativa and F. vulgare ethanolic extracts and the lowest MIC of D. carota against bacterial isolates were (50â€‰mg/mL), Also, it was observed that S. aureus was more sensitive than S. typhi and E. coli to plant extracts. The ethanol plant extracts had potential antibacterial activities. However, further studies are required to identify the active compounds which could be used for the preparation of new antimicrobial agents and control the bacterial infectious diseases.

Published: June 2020

Traditional medicine is still the only treatment in many rural areas especially the rural communities of east. Due to limited access to modern medicine, local people use medicinal plants to treat most diseases. Some herbs contain powerful contents and must be treated with the same precautionary care as in the case of drug, we do. In fact, a lot of drugs are basically based on artificial verities of natural composite in plants. For example, the heart drug Digitalis comes from a foxglove plant. Some drugs are single active substance derived from botanical sources. Herbalists believe that if the active ingredient is isolated from other parts of the plant, its action may be lost or its safety may be reduced. E.g, salicylic acid is present in a plant of meadowsweet which is used for aspirin production. Aspirin may cause bleeding in the gastric mucosa, but meadowsweet contains some other compounds naturally that interfere with the stimulation of salicylic acid. According to some practitioners, the effect of whole plant is greater than its parts individually. Critics believe that the nature of the herbs makes itself difficult to administer of such active ingredients. Herbs contain active ingredients, Mostly of them have unknown ingredients. As with other prescription drugs, herbs should always be prescribed by a qualified doctor.
Sous-vide Pişirme Tekniği: Et Kalitesi Üzerine Etkileri
Authors: Serdaroglu Meltem , Derin Esra
Published: June 2020

Sous-vide tekniği, vakum ambalajlı ürünlerin su banyosu veya buhar fırınlarında kontrol edilebilen düşük sıcaklık değerlerinde ve uzun sürelerde pişirilmesi işlemidir. Bu teknik özellikle soğukta depolama boyunca kısıtlı raf ömrüne sahip et ve et ürünlerinin pişirilmesinde yaygın olarak kullanılmaktadır. Sous-vide yönteminde kullanılan sıcaklık, süre ve vakum değerleri et kalitesi üzerine etkili parametrelerdir. Düşük sıcaklıklarda pişirmenin gerçekleştirildiği bu teknik ile et gevrekliğinin arttığı görülmektedir. Aynı zamanda yapıda daha çok su tutulmakta ve pişirme kayıpları azalmaktadır. Bununla birlikte sous-vide yönteminin, yüksek sıcaklık uygulamalarından olumsuz etkilenen ve/veya suda çözünen besin bileşenlerinin korunmasını sağladığı ve etin besleyici değerini arttırdığı anlaşılmaktadır. Kontrol edilebilen pişirme sıcaklıkları kullanımı ette hedeflenen merkez sıcaklıklarına erişimi kolaylaştırmaktadır. Bunun yanı sıra, ısının homojen bir şekilde dağılmasıyla ette tekdüze renk oluşumu gözlenmektedir. Vakum uygulaması ile üründe oksidatif reaksiyonlar sınırlandırılmakta, böylece ürün kalitesi uzun süre korunabilmektedir. Sous-vide pişirmede düşük sıcaklık uygulamaları sonucu gıda güvenliği açısından oluşan risk, pişirme sürelerinin arttırılmasıyla ortadan kalkmaktadır. Bu derlemede sous-vide pişirme tekniğinin et kalitesi üzerine etkileri ile ilgili bilgilerin; tekstür, sululuk ve pişirme kaybı, renk, lezzet, lipid ve protein oksidasyonu ile mikrobiyal kalite başlıkları altında verilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bunların yanı sıra sous-vide pişirmenin et kalitesi üzerine olan etkileri diğer geleneksel pişirme yöntemleri ile kıyaslanmıştır.

Authors: Bac Dang Kinh , Bao Dang Van
Published: June 2020

Basalt terrain is widely distributed in the Central Highlands and Southeast of Vietnam. Currently, land use policies on basalt types are not really suitable, affecting economic growth and creating negative impacts on the environment, especially soil and water pollution. This study carried out the assessment of bio-geochemical conditions in three types of basalt terrain, using 16 remote sensing indices. The relationship between these indices is analyzed based on correlation matrix and structural equation model (SEM). The results show different land use management trends across the three basalt types. The results encourage the land-use management to (i) expand and maintain the protected forests on Miocene basalt; (ii) develop agriculture on the Pliocene - Pleistocene basalt terrain; and (iii) improve soil quality and ecotourism on late Pleistocene basalt terrain.

Published: June 2020

The increased life-expectancy of people with intellectual disability is generating new needs for attention and care that can assist healthy aging. This question is accentuated among workers from Special Employment Centers, for whom aging has a twofold impact, in so far as it interferes with their professional development and their means of earning a living. A study is conducted with a sample of 49 workers from a Special Employment Center, with the objective of analyzing the impact of ageing on the quality of life of people with intellectual disability aged over 45 years old.  The information was gathered with the INICO-FEAPS Integral Evaluation Scale of the Quality of Life of People with Intellectual Disability (Verdugo, Gómez, Arias, Santamaría, Clavero & Tamarit, 2013). The Mann-Whitney U test; the Spearman test and Anovas are used for data analysis. The results highlighted the importance of age on quality-of-life deterioration, evident from lower scores for emotional wellbeing, social inclusion and social relations, among others, as well as the differences according to gender and training of the group. The need is noted to establish challenges and proposals that will minimize the negative impacts of aging on the journey towards a non-active stage. One limitation of the study is the need for larger sample sizes.

Published: June 2020

Los objetivos de este estudio fueron analizar las diferencias entre mujeres participantes/no-participantes en un programa de ejercicio físico, en la capacidad funcional (fuerza muscular del tren superior e inferior y capacidad cardiorrespiratoria) y calidad de vida relacionada con la salud (función física y salud mental), así como analizar la asociación entre las variables mencionadas y determinar si la capacidad funcional e índice de masa corporal (IMC) son mediadores en la relación entre función física y salud mental. La muestra estuvo compuesta por 340 mujeres, 183 pertenecieron al grupo “participantes” en un programa de intervención de ejercicio físico Pilates-Aerobic (Medad=68.8; DT=5.3), mientras que 157 pertenecieron al grupo “no-participantes” (Medad=69.9; DT=7.1), ya que no recibieron ningún tipo de intervención. Los resultados ponen de manifiesto que las mujeres participantes presentan mejor capacidad física funcional y perciben una mejor función física que las mujeres no-participantes. La función física y la salud mental, en ambos grupos de mujeres, presentan una correlación negativa. Las variables evaluadas objetivamente en relación a la capacidad funcional física y el IMC no resultaron mediadores en la relación entre función física y salud mental, excepto en el grupo de participantes, en las cuales, la fuerza muscular del tren superior es un mediador que potencia la relación negativa entre la percepción de la calidad de vida con respecto a la función física y la salud mental. Se destaca la necesidad de futuras líneas de investigación que permitan discernir cómo el ejercicio físico favorece el estado psicológico en mujeres mayores teniendo en cuenta las recomendaciones sobre el tipo, la frecuencia y la intensidad de ejercicio físico.

Historia y devoción en imágenes de una conversación celeste (Desierto de las Batuecas, O.C.D., s. XVII)
Authors: Muñoz Gómez Elena
Published: June 2020

El retrato de Blas de San Alberto y Antonio de Jesús es una imagen devocional, didáctica y memorial que sustituye la historia escrita de la orden descalza por la narrativa implícita en la conversación celeste. La interpretación de esta representación plástica se sustenta en la tradición de las imágenes de culto y en la relación de inscripciones, formas y ubicación de esta obra visual contextualizada en crónicas, biografías, e instrucciones para la oración y educación de los frailes. Ello lleva a pensar que el lienzo pudo haber sido ideado para ilustrar una sala de oración, estudio o meditación.
Quantitative Prediction of pH-Controlled Ionization of Oligoampholytes
Authors: Lunkad Raju , Murmiliuk Anastasiia , Hebbeker Pascal , Boublík Milan , Tošner Zdeněk , Štěpánek Miroslav , Košovan Peter
Published: June 2020

Weak ampholytes are ubiquitous in nature and commonly found in artificial pH-responsive systems. However, our limited understanding of their ionisation response and the lack of predictive capabilities hinder the bottom-up design of such systems. Here, we used a coarse-grained model of a flexible polymer with weakly ionisable monomer units to quantitatively analyse the ionisation behaviour of two oligopeptides. Differences in ionisation response between oligopeptides and monomeric amino acids showed that electrostatic interactions between weak acid and base side chains play a key role in oligopeptide ionisation, as predicted by our model. Moreover, by comparing our simulations with experimental results from potentiometric titration, capillary zone electrophoresis and NMR, we demonstrated that our model reliably predicts the ionisation response and electrophoretic mobilities of various peptide sequences. Ultimately, our model is the first step towards using predictive bottom-up design of responsive ampholytes to tailor their properties as a function of charge and pH.

Staying safe during the COVID-19 pandemic requires frequent disinfecting of the indoor environment. Quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs or “quats”) are the major class of chemicals widely used as disinfectants in consumer products. While disinfection is necessary for a safe environment during the pandemic, the increased use of QACs is concerning as exposure to these compounds has been associated with adverse effects on reproductive and respiratory systems. We have determined the occurrence and distribution of 19 QACs in 46 residential dust collected before and during the outbreak of COVID-19. All QACs were detected in more than 90% of the samples at concentrations ranging from 1.95 to 531 μg/g (median 58.9 μg/g). Higher QAC concentrations were found in dust collected before the COVID-19 pandemic and in homes with higher disinfecting frequencies (p < 0.05). In addition, 7 products most frequently used in these homes were analyzed, and QACs were detected at concentrations reaching up to 16,600 mg/L. The QAC profiles in dust and in products were similar, suggesting that these products can be a significant source of QACs. Our findings indicate that the indoor exposure to QACs is widespread, raising concerns about increased exposure to these chemicals during the ongoing pandemic.

A new dual catalytic system for cross-electrophile coupling reactions between aryl and alkyl halides that features a Ni catalyst, a Co co-catalyst, and a mild homogeneous reductant, is described. This is a unique combination of reagents for cross-electrophile coupling reactions, which results in one of the most versatile systems reported to date. For example, the coupling of aryl bromides and aryl iodides with alkyl bromides, alkyl iodides, alkyl mesylates, and benzyl chlorides is demonstrated under similar reaction conditions. The system is tolerant of numerous functional groups and is capable of coupling heteroaryl halides, di-ortho-substituted aryl halides, pharmaceutically relevant drug-like aryl halides, and a diverse range of alkyl halides. Additionally, the dual catalytic platform facilitates a series of novel one-pot three-component cross-electrophile coupling reactions of bromo(iodo)arenes with two distinct alkyl halides. Mechanistic studies indicate that the Ni catalyst activates the aryl halide electrophile, while the Co catalyst activates the alkyl electrophile.

Aim of the study - to assess the effect of remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) on the incidence of endothelial dysfunction (ED) and its impact on hospital prognosis in patients with ST segment elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEMI). Materials and methods. We conducted a single - centre, open - label prospective study that included 173 patients with STEMI who underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention within the first 24 hours of the symptoms onset. Before the PCI, patients were randomized into two groups. In the first group (n=86) during the preparation for PCI, we performed RIPC procedure by inflation of the cuff of the tonometer to 200 mm Hg and its further deflation on patient's shoulder, thus creating short cycles of controlled ischemia/reperfusion in hand (4 cycles of ischemia/reperfusion for 5/5 minutes respectively). In the second, control group (n=87), the standard primary PCI was performed without the previous RIPC. Evaluation of the endothelial function was performed on the 2-7th day after admission using the endothelium - dependent flow - mediated dilatation test (FMD) of the brachial artery. Primary endpoints in this study included the presence of ED, in - hospital mortality, life - threatening arrhythmias (ventricular fibrillation/ventricular tachycardia after first 24 hours upon admission), stent thrombosis, clinical signs of heart failure, and a combined endpoint consisting of all the listed above. Results. The median values for FMD-test did not differ significantly between the study groups upon admission. Assessment of the FMD of the brachial artery on the 2-7th day after PCI showed that among the patients who underwent RIPC there was a significantly lower percentage of patients with ED than in the patients with STEMI who did not undergo RIPC before PCI (43.1% vs. 75.8% respectively, p=0.0001). We found a significant reduction in the incidence of heart failure and of combined endpoint in the group of patients without ED compared with patients with ED: 0% vs. 9.3% (n=7; p=0.023) and 3.8% (n=2) vs. 16% (n=12; p=0.032) respectively. When assessing the effect of RIPC on hospital prognosis, we also found a significant decrease in the incidence of heart failure and a trend towards a decrease in the combined endpoint in the group of patients who underwent RIPC compared to the control group: 1.5% (n=1) vs. 9.7% (n=6; p=0.045) and 6.2% (n=4) vs. 16.1% (n=10; p=0.073) respectively. Conclusion. Performance of RIPC before the primary PCI significantly reduces the incidence of ED in patients with STEMI on the 2-7th day of the disease onset. The presence of ED in patients with STEMI is associated with a significant increase in the incidence of heart failure and of the combined endpoint during in - hospital period. RIPC significantly reduces the incidence of heart failure in patients with STEMI during in - hospital period.

Continuous evaluation of the actual clinical practice of diagnosis and treatment of Helicobacter pylori is crucial in order to provide the best standard of care and to compare health outcomes with expert recommendations.

Aim:to evaluate the effectiveness of the standard triple therapy (amoxicillin, clarithromycin, a proton pump inhibitor) and the standard triple therapy plus bismuth tripotassium dicitrate.

Materials and methods.Observational, prospective, multicenter study, carried out in one single Russian centre A.S. Loginov Moscow Clinical Scientific Center as part of the Hp-EuReg. Patients were included from 2013 to November 2019 by Russian gastroenterologists.

Results.A total of 647 patients were collected and 330 were administered either standard triple therapy ((amoxicillin, clarithromycin, a proton pump inhibitor) or standard triple therapy plus bismuth tripotassium dicitrate. Invasive methods is dominates in the initial diagnosis of H. pylori: the frequency of use of the quick urease test decreased from 50% in 2013 to 31% in 2019. Serology was used in 27.9%. There has been an increase in the use of the13C-urea breath test from 13% in 2013 to 31% in 2019. The histological method (7.5%) and the stool antigen test (3.2%) were used less frequently. For eradication control non-invasive methods are mostly used:13C-UDT (82.7%) and the stool antigen test (14.4%). The effectiveness of standard triple therapy (mITT) was 68% with a 7-day course, 79% with a 10-day course, and 70% with a 14-day course. Combination of bismuth and standard triple therapy eradicates H. pylori (mITT) in 63%, 75% and 89%, respectively.

Conclusion.An improvement in the clinical practice of managing patients with H. pylori infections has been noted. The standard triple therapy in combination with bismuth tripotassium dicitrate, prescribed for 14 days, is more effective.

Published: June 2020

In the last decade, the development of technology has been growing rapidly. Internet—as a part of technology—became one of the very important things for many people. The usage of internet had been increasing in the last few years. It happened to people with various backgrounds and ages around the world. There is an interesting phenomenon that nowadays internet usage behavior is not only happened to adult but also happened to student at school. Some studies have found that internet usage had negative effect on student’s academic performance. But another study emphasized that positive internet usage behavior gave significant effect on academic outcome. In this study, we distinguish internet usage behavior into two categories, viz. general internet user and professional internet user. General internet user refers to internet usage behavior that focus on communication and entertaining purposes. Otherwise, professional internet user refers to productive activities in using internet like searching for information and doing some works that are relevant to assist finishing academic’s tasks. This study aims to find the influence of internet usage—general and professional—on student’s academic performance in Indonesia. Internet usage behavior measured by 2019 Student’s National Examination Survey from Center for Educational Assessment Indonesia. While, student’s academic performance represented by 2019 Indonesian National Examination Score. In addition, studies found that student’s socio-economic status (SES) had influence on their pattern of internet use. Then, this study determined SES as control variable in order to find comprehensive explanation about impact of internet usage on student’s academic outcome.
