Setiap orang membutuhkan kehidupan yang sejahtera, kebutuhan hidup sehari- hari terpenuhi sehingga dapat hidup dengan gembira. Namun yang terjadi saat ini adalah masih banyak keluarga yang belum memiliki pilihan untuk merasakan kehidupan yang sejahtera dengan pemenuhan kebutuhan hidup akibat rendahnya pendapatan suami. Hal ini membuat ibu-ibu rumah tangga di desa Babul Makmur sadar dan memilih untuk berprofesi sebagai petani. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui dan menganalisis faktor apa yang memengaruhi perempuan bekerja di sawah. Penelitian dilakukan pada 4 Desember 2021 hingga selesai di Desa Babul Makmur, Kecamatan Simeulue Barat, Kabupaten Simeulue. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah deskriptif  kualitatif dan deskriptif kuantitatif dengan melakukan observasi dan mengumpulkan  informasi melalui wawancara yang berupa kuesioner, informasi yang terkumpul akan dibedah menggunakan persamaan  Skala Likert. Hasil tinjauan menunjukkan bahwa 96 orang masyarakat bekerja sebagai petani untuk memenuhi kebutuhan keuangan keluarga mereka. Kemudian, 44% responden perempuan berpendidikan SMP, karena rendahnya pendidikan mempengaruhi seseorang untuk mencari pekerjaan.  Sedangkan 50% dari responden perempuan memiliki pekerjaan ganda yang artinya tidak hanya satu pekerjaan saja akan tetapi selain bekerja sebagai petani mereka juga bekerja sebagai pedagang dan buruh tani. Alasan perempuan bekerja sebagai petani adalah karena rendahnya tingkat pendidikan serta rendahnya penghasilan yang dihasilkan oleh suami, membuat wanita bekerja menjadi petani untuk membantu suaminya dalam memenuhi kebutuhan keuangan keluarga. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian dapat ditarik kesimpulan, para perempuan menjalankan pekerjaan sebagai petani dan pedagang karena faktor yang menyebabkannya adalah unsur keuangan, dan faktor pendidikan. Kedua faktor ini adalah hal mendasar dalam kehidupan sehari-hari yang membuat perempuan bekerja di ladang.

A sportolók teljesítmény vizsgálata soha nem volt olyan elterjedt, mint manapság. Számos módszer született, s lett tovább fejlesztve az utóbbi évtizedekben, annak érdekében, hogy a fizikális vagy mentális összetevőket minél pontosabban monitorozhassuk. Ezek a mérési protokollok azonban egyre specifikusabbá váltak, s egy adott teljesítmény-összetevőre fókuszáltak, mint ha elfelejtenénk, hogy a sportolók pályán nyújtott teljesítménye nem egyenlő az egyes képességek összegével. Mivel a pszicho-motoros képességek kölcsönhatásban vannak egymással sportjátékok során, így a teszteknek is hasonlóan, átfogóan kell kinézni. Két csoport labdajátékost, tizenhárom labdarúgót (n=13) és tíz kézilabdázót (n=10) vetettünk alá Mikromozgás teszteknek (MT) a SpeedCourt sportdiagnosztikai eszközön, hogy megvizsgáljuk azok tradicionális teljesítményindikátorokkal való összefüggését, mint, pulzusmegnyugvás (HRR), testtömeg index (BMI) és testzsír-százalék (BFP). Ezen felül a két sportági csoport MT eredményeinek különbségét is vizsgáltuk. Láthatjuk, nincs szignifikáns összefüggés az elvégzett két MT és HRR között (r=0,5132 and r=-0,5588). Hasonlóan nem fedezhető fel szignifikáns összefüggés sem a MT és BMI (r=-0.0886 and r=-0.0174), sem az MT és BFP (r=0.0872 and r=-0,2399) kapcsolatában. Ezen felül kijelenthető, hogy szignifikáns különbség nem felfedezhető fel a két sportág képviselőinek MT eredményei közt, így az MT teszteket mindkét sportág esetében alkalmazhatónak tartjuk
Patterns of development of cardiovascular disorders in patients with COVID-19 (brief review)
Authors: Shulga A. S.
Published: July 2022

Introduction. Cardiovascular diseases remain the leading cause of death, both in Russia and in most other countries, and the problem of cardiovascular disorders in patients with COVID-19 is currently extremely important.

Aim. To summarize the literature data on patterns of development of cardiovascular disorders in patients with COVID-19.

Results. The article presents a literature review of the PubMed and Google Scholar databases on the patterns of development of cardiovascular disorders in patients with COVID-19. The pathogenetic relationship of the viral spike S-protein with angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 in the mechanisms of regulation of the cardiovascular and immune systems was shown. The role of pro-inflammatory cytokines in the formation of inflammation and fibrosis in cardiovascular pathology has been determined. The changes in the cardiovascular system against the background of COVID-19 were demonstrated. The basic principles of the interaction of the SARS-CoV-2 virus with endotheliocytes and cardiomyocytes, the mechanisms of inflammatory reactions that underlie the development of cardiovascular pathology in COVID-19 are described.

Conclusion. An analysis of current data regarding damage to the cardiovascular system in COVID-19 led to the conclusion that, despite considerable achievements in this field of research, many aspects are not fully understood and require further study. The practical significance of this review is determined in the identification of potential therapeutic targets for the prevention of complications in COVID-19, as well as in expanding the possibilities of diagnosing SARS-CoV-2. Probably the crucial importance to reduce complications, as well as associated mortality, is the development of an effective method for modulating the immune response.

Authors: Magalyas E. V. , Menshikova I. G. , Sklyar I. V.
Published: July 2022

Aim. Study of the features of renal blood flow and correction of its disorders in COPD patients at different stages of the formation of chronic cor pulmonale (CCP).

Materials and methods. Examination of 38 patients with COPD complicated by CCP (26 men and 12 women) was carried out, mean age was 61.9±0.56 years, smoking history was 29.6±2.9 pack/years. The complex treatment included Perindopril (Servier, France) for 6th months. The patients were divided into two groups: group 1 included 20 patients with COPD with compensated CCP, group 2 included 18 patients with decompensated CCP.

Results. During treatment in group 1, patients showed normalization of end-diastolic velocity in the interlobar renal arteries (Wilcoxon T-test, p=0.01), pulsation and resistance indices (Wilcoxon T-test, p=0.01), systolic-diastolic ratio of speeds (Wilcoxon T-test, p=0.001). By the end of the observation, the functional capacity of the right ventricle (RV) in patients of group 1 practically did not differ from that of healthy individuals (Mann-Whitney U Test, p=0.1). The left ventricle (LV) ejection fraction increased (Wilcoxon T-test, p=0.1), no signs of diastolic dysfunction were detected. There was a decrease in total peripheral vascular resistance (TPVR) (Student's t-test, p=0.01). An improvement in renal function was observed (Wilcoxon T-test, p=0.001). In patients of group 2, after treatment, there was a significant increase in end-diastolic velocity (Wilcoxon T-test, p=0.02) and a decrease in vascular resistance in the renal arteries (Wilcoxon T-test, p=0.02). A decrease in systolic pressure in the pulmonary artery was revealed (Student's t-test, p=0.01), indicators of diastolic and systolic right ventricle function improved (Wilcoxon T-test, p=0.01). There was an improvement in the contractility of the left ventricle, a decrease in total peripheral vascular resistance. Glomerular filtration rate improved after treatment (Wilcoxon T-test, p=0.01), but did not return to normal (Mann-Whitney U Test, p=0.01).

Conclusion. The use of perindopril in COPD patients with compensated CCP leads to the normalization of pulmonary, intracardiac, renal hemodynamics and improvement of these parameters in COPD patients with decompensated CCP.
Clinical indicators of red blood in pregnant women with bacterial and COVID-19-associated community-acquired pneumonia
Authors: Аbuldinov A. S. , Аndrievskaya I. A.
Published: July 2022

Introduction. Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is associated with the development of anemia and its clinical manifestations: hypoxemia and hypoxia, which complicates the course of the disease and leads to the development of adverse pregnancy outcomes. The studies are lack of a comparative description of the main laboratory signs of anemia in pregnant women with COVID-19-associated and bacterial CAP, which has a theoretical and applied significance.

Aim. To carry out a comparative analysis of the clinical indicators of red blood in pregnant women with COVID- 19-associated and bacterial CAP.

Materials and methods. 140 pregnant women were studied in the third trimester of pregnancy, of which 100 participants had CAP of moderate severity (main group) and with uncomplicated pregnancy – 40 (comparison group). The main group included 47 pregnant women with bacterial CAP and 53 participants with COVID-19-associated CAP. All pregnant women were comparable in age and duration of pregnancy. Bacteriological studies of sputum, detection of SARS-Cov-2 RNA in swabs from the oropharynx and nasopharynx by PCR, microscopy of peripheral blood smears, and a clinical blood test were performed.

Results. In pregnant women with COVID-19-associated CAP, compared with pregnant women with bacterial CAP, a number of differences were revealed in laboratory parameters that determine the development of anemia: the total number of erythrocytes was reduced by 1.22 times (p<0.001) and hemoglobin concentration by 1.1 times (p<0.05), the percentage of echinocytes was increased by 1.14 times (p<0.05) and degenerative forms of erythrocytes by 1.16 times (p<0.05).

Conclusion. In pregnant women with COVID-19-associated CAP, compared with pregnant women with bacterial CAP, significant changes in the number and morphological composition of erythrocytes, hemoglobin concentration were revealed, indicating a high risk of developing anemia and concomitant hypoxemia and hypoxia, which adversely affects the course of the disease and leads to development of pregnancy complications.
Impact of comorbid pathology on the quality of life of patients with bronchial asthma
Authors: Perelman N. L.
Published: July 2022

Aim. To study the impact of comorbidities on health-related quality of life (QoL) in patients with asthma, and their interaction with disease control.

Materials and methods. We interviewed and examined 360 patients with mild-to-moderate asthma, aged 18 to 62 years, who received standard basic therapy. The examined patients were divided into 2 groups: without concomitant diseases (n=193) and with comorbid conditions (n=167). QoL and the state of the emotional sphere were assessed using the SF-36, AQLQ, HADS questionnaires. The level of asthma control was determined by the ACT questionnaire. The lung function was assessed by means of spirometry

Results. Chronic rhinosinusitis, atopic conditions, obesity or overweight, gastroesophageal reflux disease, diseases of the hormonal system were noted among the most frequent comorbidities. Out of 167 asthma patients with comorbidities, 107 had one, and 60 had two or more comorbid conditions. Analysis of the overall QoL according to the SF-36 questionnaire showed a decrease in physical activity in patients with comorbidities. When analyzing specific QoL according to the AQLQ questionnaire, a significant difference was found in the “Activity” domain, the level of which was lower in the group of patients with comorbidity. Calculation of the odds ratio (OR) showed that the presence of comorbid conditions in a patient with asthma increases the likelihood of a decrease in QoL in the domain of physical activity by 2.7 times, and in the presence of two or more concomitant diseases – by 8.4 times.

Conclusion. The presence of comorbid pathology reduces the physical functioning and general activity of patients with asthma. The chances of a decrease in QoL in the domain of physical activity increase many times in the presence of two or more comorbid conditions. The addition of concomitant diseases eliminates the influence of the emotional state and, in particular, anxiety, on general health, vitality, and the role of physical problems in limiting the life of asthma patients.

Published: July 2022

Stunting is an impaired growth in children because of long-term insufficient nutrition from conception until the age of two. Regarding Basic Health Research 2018, the prevalence of stunting in Indonesia was 30.8%, higher than the WHO’s target. As stated in the Nutritional Status Monitoring, the prevalence of stunting in Karangasem from 2015 to 2017 was 27.5%, 26.1%, and 23.6% respectively. Early detection of child development status could be utilized as a pilot project to construct an intervention scheme for stunting prevention. This research aims for in-depth learning on the children growth status of stunting toddlers in the village of Ban, including gross motor, fine motor, language and adaptive skills. The research method was a qualitative design with a phenomenological approach. The in-depth interview was arranged with 15 participants sorted by purposive sampling, including 5 stunting toddlers, 5 mothers or babysitters of those toddlers, and 5 health personnel in the field. This result showed impairment of child development in long-term stunting toddlers. Without stimulation from parents, babysitters, and the social environment for those impaired children, they would undergo prolonged developmental failure. The data also showed that the majority of children experienced impairment in fine motor-adaptive skills whereas the gross motor and language skills were still normal.

Authors:   Department of Social Science and Business, Roskilde University, Denmark. javest@ruc.dk, Vestergaard Jakob
Published: July 2022

Central banks can potentially influence the investment decisions of private financial institutions, which in turn will create incentives towards green technology adoption and development of lower emission business models. This paper examines how monetary policies can be deployed to promote a greening of finance. To guide the efforts, the paper mobilizes the Money View literature. This enables a comparative assessment of different monetary policy options. The main finding is that a promising way forward for green monetary policy is to adopt a strategy of expanding collateral eligibility through positive screening and widening haircut spreads to change relative incentives in favor of green over brown assets.

Authors: Kuliński Włodzisław , Buras Kinga
Published: July 2022

Introduction: Stroke is one of the most serious health problems of the modern society.
Aim: The aim of the study was to assess the effects of 6-month home-based rehabilitation in stroke patients.
Material and Methods: The study included 37 patients (35% were women and 65% were men) after ischaemic stroke. Study patients received 6-month home-based physical therapy in Kielce County (Gmina Chęciny and Gmina Łopuszno). The study used the Barthel Index, the Timed Up and Go Test and the Modified Rankin Scale. Physical therapy included kinesiotherapy methods (such as active and assisted exercises), physiotherapy methods (electrotherapy, laser therapy) and special methods (PNF and kinesiotaping).
Results: The study showed significant differences in the results between the pre- and post-rehabilitation assessments. Before rehabilitation, the majority of study patients (22 people, 60%) scored between 21 and 85 points according to the Barthel Index, which suggests moderately severe disability. After rehabilitation, this number was reduced to 20 patients (54%). With respect to the Timed Up and Go Test, most study patients (25 people, 68%) both before and after rehabilitation needed 10 to 19 seconds to perform the test, indicating limited functional mobility. The degree of disability according to the Modified Rankin Scale was 4 in 23 study patients (62%) before rehabilitation and in 27 study patients (73%) after rehabilitation. A total of 8 study patients (22%) before rehabilitation had very severe disability with a result of 5 according to the Modified Rankin Scale; only 3 study patients (0.1%) did not show any improvement after rehabilitation.
Conclusions: 1. Home-based physiotherapy performed over a period of 6 months had a very beneficial influence on increasing independence in stroke patients. 2. A significant gait quality improvement was seen in stroke patients. 3. The degree of disability in study patients was considerably reduced.

Aim: was to compare the effects of systemic cryotherapy and kinesiotaping on the flexibility and strength of trunk muscle of men practising, due to their job, targeted and specialized physical training. They were members of special groups: Government Protection Bureau, Anti-Terrorist Organization Bureau and Grom group.
Materials and Methods: The study group consisted of 30 men [age 27-55 (AVG 40 +/- 7)]. Motor fitness assessment recognized in the Health-related fitness system: flexibility – measured by the depth of the trunk forward bend from a straight sit. A positive result was defined as a value measured in centimeters below the toes, and a negative result, when the subject did not reach the toes, the better result from two attempts was accepted for analysis. Dynamic strength of the abdominal muscles – this feature was determined by the number of scull sit-ups performed from the supine position within 30 seconds Taping of the rectus abdominis muscle was performed using the supine position muscle method. Base - above the pubic symphysis (above the hairline), abdominal tension through inhalation, tail to the cartilage of the fifth rib, parasternal. On the other side , the same way of application, then the test was performed. Taping of the dorsal extensor muscle, using the muscle method – standing position, base - on the sacrum, bending the torso forward, tape tails along the spine, then the test was performed. After a week’s break, each subject received a series of 10 treatments at -130°C, each treatment lasted2 minutes. Treatments took place once a day – from Monday to Friday, excluding Saturdays and Sundays. After each cryostimulation treatment, the patient exercised on a stationary cycloergometer for 20 minutes.
Results: The use of kinesiotaping and systemic cryostimulation improves flexibility. The increase of the motoric feature was greater after the treatments at the applied cryogenic temperature -130°C. The dynamic strength of the abdominal muscles increased after both types of therapy, i.e. Kinesiotaping and systemic cryotherapy. Statistically significantly more sculling sit-ups were performed after cryostimulation treatments.
Conclusions: The conducted pilot studies showed statistically significant differences in flexibility and dynamic strength of abdominal muscles after the taping and systemic cryostimulation. It is reasonable to continue research that varies in terms of the number of treatments and cryogenic temperatures. Studies of other human motor characteristics should also be carried out.

To function properly, the human immune system must be adequately stimulated. Immune activity is stimulated as a result of the use of vaccines as well as the exposure of the body to infections. This type of stimulation only increases the specific humoral immunity, characterized by relatively short duration, and targeted at a well-defined antigen. In the case of the COVID-19 virus, immune memory cells persist for up to one year. In parallel with specific stimulation, it is necessary to develop non-specific immunity. It is the body’s first line of defense against infection, affects many microorganisms, and supports specific immunity. We can develop and strengthen this immunity using non-pharmacological methods, including balneotherapy, physical activity, and an appropriate diet. There is now much scientific evidence showing the effectiveness of balneotherapy in improving innate immunity. In in vitro and in vivo studies with high scientific credibility, the following effects of balneotherapy on the immune system were demonstrated: stimulation of the proliferation of T lymphocytes (especially CD4), normalization of the ratio between lymphocytes with different cytotoxic and anti-inflammatory effects, increased number of granulocytes and stimulation of the phagocytic activity of granulocytes and macrophages, lowering the concentration of proinflammatory cytokines and stimulating the secretion of anti-inflammatory cytokines, CRP, prostaglandins (PGE2), as well as antioxidant and neurohormonal activity. Among treatments with balneoimmunostimulatory effects, one should mention sulfide baths, peloid compresses, brine baths, radon treatments, and hot baths. These treatments are mainly used as part of health resort treatment. In Poland, health resort treatment represents excellent health potential. Unfortunately, it is very modestly used in activities aimed at improving the immunity of Polish society. This treatment would be best combined in patients after vaccination and in a certain period before vaccination, which would significantly increase the effectiveness of prophylactic vaccinations.
