Veterinary Anatomy Education and Spatial Ability: Where Now and Where Next?
Authors: Dickson Julie , Gardiner Andrew , Rhind Susan
Published: May 2021

The expanding use of technology to support or replace dissection has implications for educators, who must first understand how students mentally manipulate anatomical images. The psychological literature on spatial ability and general intelligence is relevant to these considerations. This article situates current understandings of spatial ability in the context of veterinary anatomy education. As in medical education, veterinary courses are increasingly using physical and computer-based models and computer programs to supplement or even replace cadavers. In this article, we highlight the importance of spatial ability in the learning of anatomy and make methodological recommendations for future studies to ensure a robust evidence base is developed. Recommendations include ensuring that (a) studies aiming to demonstrate changes in spatial ability include anatomically naïve students and also account for previous anatomical knowledge, (b) studies employ a control group in order to account for the practice effect, and (c) the relationship between spatial ability and general intelligence, and thus other cognitive abilities, is acknowledged.

Published: May 2021

Water is a key element not only in the lives of human beings, but it plays a fundamental role in various sectors of the economy and, therefore, the availability of drinking water is a critical and challenging problem. For the sanitation sector, the transition from a linear economy to a circular model presents an opportunity to accelerate and expand environmental innovation through the interaction between different actors such as government, universities and companies. The objective of this research is to analyze how external factors influence the selection of environmental technologies for the application of the Circular Economy principles in a sanitation company. The research method used is a single case study with multiple units of analysis. The data collection instruments used were documentary research, records in archives and semi-structured interviews. The results show that (a) the technologies are selected based on the company's technological capacity - which includes investment in research with universities, knowledge of new technologies and training of the team; and the economic viability that, in addition to financial issues, involves the development of a competitive market to motivate the search for environmentally friendly solutions; (b) universities support new circularity proposals and help to create new value in the market; (c) the development of the market, in turn, is influenced by the interest of companies / industries / customers and by the current environmental legislation; (d) the regulatory environment prevents innovation and adherence to new products; (e) and the partnership between the private sector, university and government promotes knowledge sharing to change the regulatory environment. It is concluded that the company is organizing itself through a network of relationships to face cultural, institutional, economic and technological issues and create a favorable context for the selection of environmental technologies that provide the circularity of the sector. The increase in knowledge encourages the search for a new business model aimed at circular solutions within sanitation and the role of interactions between the various partners form an ecosystem for innovation that supports the sanitation company's decisions to select technologies. The research contributes by providing a systemic view of the process of producing drinking water, using and directing sewage by identifying opportunities in the sector to implement a new model for the production of water

Authors: Andirani Sri Muntiah
Published: May 2021

ABSTRAK Pada saat sekarang ini sedang maraknya virus COVID-19 yang sudah menelan korban jiwa, dan manusia harus di isolasi baik yang sudah terjangkit virus maupun yang belum terjangkit. Dari permasalahan tersebut membuat penulis berpikir untuk membuat sistem sterilisasi untuk manusia agar tidak mudah terkena virus tersebut. Terutama untuk orang – orang yang tetap harus bekerja di luar rumah seperti para ojek online, tenaga medis dan lain – lain. Sistem sterilisasi yang akan dibuat ini berupa bilik yang disemprotkan cairan disinfektan ke dalamnya setelah ada orang yang masuk untuk melindungi mereka dari serangan virus mematikan tersebut. Bilik disinfektan tersebut menggunakan sistem otomatis yang akan menyemprotkan cairan disinfektan setelah mendeteksi keberadaan orang di dalam bilik. Sistem tersebut menggunakan sensor PIR (Passive Infrared) yang dapat mendeteksi pergerakan manusia yang ada di dalamnya. Arduino Uno digunakan sebagai basis pemrograman otomatis untuk menjalankan pompa yang akan memompa cairan disinfektan ke dalam bilik yang juga tersambung dengan modul Relay untuk dapat menjalankan pompa tersebut.Bilik disinfektan yang penulis buat menggunakan sistem otomasi dengan kebutuhan cairan disinfektan setiap orang sekitar 24 mL. Volume tangki penampung yang digunakan sebesar 20 L dan bisa menyemprotkan orang sekitar 800 orang. Hal ini cukup efektif untuk menekan penyebaran COVID-19 jika dilihat dari kebutuhan cairan disinfektan untuk setiap orangnya. Pendeteksian sensor PIR di dalam bilik disinfektan juga sangat efektif, dilihat dari respon sensor PIR yang diperoleh sejauh 100 m. Karena jarak terjauh dari sensor PIR dalam bilik tersebut adalah 100 m, sehingga dapat disimpulkan bahwa pendeteksian sensor PIR sangat efektif dan juga responsif..Kata Kunci : Bilik Disinfektan, COVID – 19, PIR, Arduino, dan Relay

Authors: Zheleznaya A. , Zheleznyy G.
Published: May 2021

At the present stage of development of society, the influence of gender factors on the choice of profession has not been studied enough. In this regard, there is a need to consider the stated problem in more detail, using a comprehensive psychodiagnostics based on the identification of psychological qualities of schoolchildren, their gender stereotypes in relation to the chosen career orientations. The study studied the sociotype of adolescents, which was used to determine the gender qualities embedded in the personality structure. Students, regardless of their biological gender, were divided into four groups based on gender characteristics: with pronounced femininity and mild femininity, with pronounced masculinity and mild masculinity. Then they were tested to determine their professional preferences. Career orientations chosen by boys and girls in each group were subjected to statistical analysis and comparison. The study found that gender stereotypes, as well as gender characteristics, influence students ' choice of professional path. Thus, young men, despite their feminine or masculine qualities in the structure of the sociotype, strive to take a worthy place in life, move up the career ladder, and prefer leading and significant positions in the organization. Girls, on the contrary, despite the feminine or masculine qualities in the structure of the sociotype, choose professions that require positive and equal interaction with all employees, they are ready for good-hearted communication, mutual assistance, but do not seek promotion to leading positions in the organization. Thus, the feminine qualities in the structure of the personality of young men and masculine qualities in the structure of the personality of girls are rejected by them under the influence of gender stereotypes, which leads to insufficient disclosure of individual abilities and properties and makes it difficult to fully realize their Self in a rapidly changing world. The task of a psychologist when consulting students is to take into account both signs, so that the profession chosen in the future most fully reveals the social and personal potential of students.

ROLE OF ANTIOXIDANT THERAPY IN PREVENTION OF LIPOPEROXIDATION AND PROCOAGULANT ACTIVITY OF PLATELETS IN SARS-COV-2 VIRAL INFECTIONS
Authors: Yakubova E. , Alborov R.
Published: May 2021

Based on a metanalysis of clinical observations in different countries with practical experience in the treatment of pneumonia complicated by the syndrome of multiple organ failure caused by the COVID-19 coronavirus, it is impossible to draw an unambiguous conclusion about the effectiveness of various therapies in patients. viruses modify the apparatus of biosynthesis of cells in the body as a whole. Therefore, finding drugs that have an exceptional effect on viruses without infecting the body is a difficult task. Various antiviral drugs (ribaverin, interferons and glucocorticosteroids, antiparasitic, antimalarials (Chloroquine, Hydroxychloroquine) are effective at certain stages of the infectious process, however, they are toxic and therapy with these drugs has risks of developing severe cytopenia, hepatotoxicity, neuropsychiatric disorders and severe ischemia Interleukin antagonists (Tocilizumab, Anakindra, Levilimab) are effective in severe cases with an increase in IL-6, as they limit the cascade of activation of cells of the immune system, reduce the effect of "cytokine storm" in the formation of acute respiratory distress syndrome and endothelial dysfunction of the pulmonary vessels.

Discussion. In an experimental study R.G. Alborov, in the framework of the dissertation for the degree of candidate of medical sciences (2001), in which nonlinear white rats were used, it was demonstrated that: activators of lipid peroxidation (LPO), different in nature and biological activity, inhibition of the transformation of arachidonic acid in platelets reduces, along with proaggregant activity, the intensity of LPO processes in them. Based on the experimental data obtained, it can be considered appropriate to study the effect of antioxidants as agents that enhance the effects of antiplatelet inhibitors of the transformation of arachidonate and platelets. It can be expected that antioxidants, by reducing the procoagulant activity of platelets, due to inhibition of LPO, can enhance the effect of antiplatelet agents.

Findings. 1. The effectiveness of antioxidant therapy for infection with SAPS-COV-2 viruses, including COVID-19, is beyond doubt. It is important that antioxidant therapy was prescribed before the development of lipid peroxidation and "cytokine storm" and an increase in the procoagulant activity of platelets, that is, at the initial stage of infection.

Antioxidant therapy presupposes adequate dosages according to the type of "saturating phase of treatment" with subsequent transfer to maintenance doses.

Currently, no drugs have been found that have an exceptional effect on viruses without affecting the body. Antioxidants are protective at the cellular level. In addition, they practically do not cause side effects. It is advisable to prescribe antioxidant drugs in large doses in the complex therapy of viral infections.

Published: May 2021

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Nowadays, the improvement of intraoral scanning systems aims to overcome some limitations of the conventional methods and to eliminate the mistakes that can be made during the production technology and to achieve a more precise design of prosthetic restorations [7]. 

AIM: The aim of the present study is to evaluate and compare the marginal adaptation and the internal fit of zirconium dioxide fixed partial dentures, made by direct and indirect digital approach.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: To perform the in vitro study, a model-sample of the upper jaw was used, on which two artificial plastic teeth 24 and 26 were prepared and tooth 25 was removed. 30 virtual models were created from the prepared model. To obtain the virtual models in the first group (CIS group), 10 conventional impressions (n = 10) were taken with additive silicone impression material using a two-stage two-phase impression technique with a standard metal impression tray. For the second group (PCS group) the conventional impressions were casted wtih IV class high quality hard plaster. The ten digital impressions from the third group (ISG group) were obtained using an intraoral TRIOS scanner.

RESULTS: The highest mean value in P1 was measured in the CIS group (155.1 ± 69.96 µm), followed by the PCS group (135.62 ± 78.7 µm). The highest mean value in P2 was obtained in the CIS group (138.32 ± 63.08 µm), followed by the ISG group (117.2 ± 32.48 µm). The highest mean value in point P3 was found in the CIS group (94.525 ± 23.03 µm), while the highest mean value in point P4 was measured in the PCS group (86.34 ± 26.99 µm).

CONCLUSION: The obtained mean values regarding the marginal adaptation in all studied groups are within the clinically acceptable range. The highest values in terms of the marginal adaptation indicator were obtained in the PCS group, and the lowest - in the ISG group.

Corporate scandals that occurred before the Sarbanes-Oxley Act demonstrated weaknesses in the compliance environment, arising from the low level of involvement of the middle management with internal controls. Regarding middle management in the banking sector, which needs to monitor risks and ensure compliance with laws and regulations, no studies were found that correlated managers’ demographic variables with compliance and financial performance. Therefore, the objective of this research is to evaluate whether compliance mediates the effect of the demographic characteristics of intermediary managers on the financial performance of bank branches. We use the Generalised Structural Equation Modeling (gSEM) as a data analysis technique to determine whether compliance mediates managerial demographics on the financial performance of bank branches. The results suggest that compliance mediates managerial demographics on financial performance only for some demographic characteristics.

Background: As the population rapidly ages, a growing number of families are engaging in care for individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD). The perceived challenges and burdens that face informal caregivers are enormous. Objective: The objective of this study was to 1) explore from the family caregivers’ perspective, the daily lives of individuals living with ADRD, and the challenges family caregivers encounter when caring for a family member with ADRD; and 2) to develop a comprehensive model with the endeavor to improve care for individuals with ADRD and their family caregivers. Methods: Posts were extracted from the ALZConnected online caregiving forum in May 2019. Guided by a triangular model focused on Caregiver, Individual with ADRD, and Context of Care, two researchers independently analyzed 654 posts with a combination of deductive and inductive thematic analysis approach. Researchers all agreed on finalized codes and themes. Results: Thematic analysis resulted in four themes: Individual with ADRD, Caregiver, Dynamic between Caregiver and Individual with ADRD, and Context of Care. The most frequently discussed topics among caregivers were informational and emotional support for caregivers, and the capabilities and functioning of individuals with ADRD. Conclusion: Online forums provide a valuable platform for caregivers to support each other informationally and emotionally, share care strategies, and navigate caregiving burdens. An expanded model was derived to support a comprehensive and dynamic approach to improve care for both caregivers and individuals with ADRD. The unique nature of the caregiver forum data is worthy of further data mining using a novel analysis approach.
