Intervención psicoeducativa y eficacia del autocuidado en cuidadores informales de personas con demencia
Authors: Pérez Lancho Mª Cruz , De la Vega-Hazas Monje Clara
Published: July 2023

Introducción: la demencia es una de las principales causas de incapacidad y dependencia entre la población mayor a nivel mundial, produciendo un alto impacto bio-psico-emocional no solo para quien la padece, sino también para sus cuidadores. El crecimiento exponencial en la prevalencia de este tipo de patologías, obliga a que cada vez más personas sin formación específica tengan que hacerse cargo de los cuidados de sus familiares. Las consecuencias de afrontar una situación de sobrecarga creciente repercuten negativamente en el cuidador, que también debe ser atendido y asesorado durante el proceso de la enfermedad. Para cubrir esta necesidad, la psicoeducación centrada en el autocuidado personal puede constituir una herramienta terapéutica eficaz a la hora de enseñar a los cuidadores el modo de afrontar el acompañamiento del paciente, siguiendo la premisa de que aprender a cuidarnos nos permitirá cuidar mejor al otro. Objetivo: revisar la evidencia existente sobre la eficacia de la formación en autocuidado como parte de las intervenciones psicoeducativas dirigidas a cuidadores informales/familiares de personas con demencia. Metodología: en el presente trabajo se ha realizado una revisión paraguas o meta-revisión de revisiones sistemáticas en las que se estudia la eficacia de las intervenciones que incluyen el componente de autocuidado. Resultados: se recogen resultados a favor de la eficacia de las intervenciones psicoeducativas que incluyen el componente de autocuidado, aunque con un bajo nivel de significación estadística. Conclusión: es necesario profundizar en la investigación pues, aunque se ha encontrado evidencia a favor, otro tipo de intervenciones o combinaciones de terapias han mostrado ser más eficaces.

Corpo e historicidade: um percurso do corpo físico ao corpo inconsciente na toria de Andre Lapierre
Authors: Viana da Silva Neto Marcelino , Stopiglia Guedes Braide Andréa , Ferreira Caçador Anastácio Zélia
Published: July 2023

A história do corpo não foi bem delineada ao longo do tempo. Se utilizada como referência cronológica a Idade Média, percebe-se uma atmosfera de interdições e proibições, associando o corpo ao preconceito sobre a sexualidade e as sensações que contrapunham o pensamento religioso da época, base de um pensamento ocidental, o qual se conserva, em parte, atualmente. No entanto, o século XX traz consigo o advento de estudos científicos nas áreas médica e psicológica, provocando mudanças nessa perspectiva. O termo psicomotricidade, por exemplo, surgiu nas pesquisas da neurologia no ano de 1900 em contraposição ao pensamento cartesiano, introduzindo a ideia coerente de que corpo e mente são elementos unificados e a integração saudável deles é formadora da identidade equilibrada do sujeito. No percurso do referido século, autores como Andre Lapierre apresentam resultados dos seus estudos sobre o corpo, mostrando a exatidão, o rigor e, simultaneamente, a ousadia e a contestação, queconduzem a algumas constatações a respeito do corpo e detudo o que se encontra no seu entorno de forma consciente e inconsciente. Um dos grandes legados do século XX está na condição do corpo afetivo/inconsciente a partir dos trabalhos do mundo pós-guerra, em uma análise do corpo na totalidade, como morada dos sentimentos e das experiências fundamentais para a constituição do ser. Por meio de uma pesquisa de análise bibliográfica, esta comunicação tem, portanto, o objetivo de debater o percurso acerca do corpo e as evoluções dos pensamentos que levaram a novas teorias e abordagens do desenvolvimento humano, em especial, a prática da Psicomotricidade Relacional à luz da experiência do francês Andre Lapierre, que apresenta uma visão inovadora e restauradora das emoções a partir do movimento corporal espontâneo e simbólico.

A pragmatic approach to neuropsychological assessment for clinical treatment in smoking cessation. v1
Authors: Martín-Ríos Raquel
Published: July 2023

Smoking is a psycho-organic disorder characterised by a compulsive urge to smoke despite the negative effects of such abuse. Such addictive behaviour constitutes one of the main causes that lead to the development of diseases and mortality, causing more than 7 million deaths per year. In Spain, the daily smoking rate ranges between 23.3% of men and 16.4% of women, according to the European Health Survey 2020. Numerous scientific reviews highlight the impact of smoking on physical health and the development of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. In fact, chronic smoking has been associated with differences in executive functioning between smokers and non-smokers. In addition, smokers show marked impairments in cognitive flexibility, visual attention, impulsivity, maladaptive decision-making, lower inhibitory control abilities, poorer working memory performance, as well as altered brain functioning patterns. However, studies on smoking have mostly focused on studying the executive components separately. Thus, a comprehensive assessment that clarifies the contribution of each executive component in smoking is still lacking. Given the lack of neuropsychological assessment protocols in smoking, there is a need to develop a neuropsychological battery aimed at measuring executive performance in such a specific group in order to fill this methodological gap. Also, clinical practice requires assessments with ecological validity where the instruments show a certain degree of correspondence with real situations. Based on the above, we outline a validated protocol that adopts an academic approach to the assessment of executive functioning in smokers seeking treatment.The protocol specifies the structure of the screening process and incorporates a screening schedule to assess the patient's executive capacity. This protocol can be implemented easily over several sessions and is designed to ensure reliable assessment of executive function inhibition, flexibility and updating in adults. With regard to the neuropsychological instruments used, six executive function tasks were selected based on the type of measurement construct provided as a psychometric indicator of validity established in the technical manuals of each test used, as well as on their degree of correspondence with the criteria of ecological validity.

Common chanterelle (Cantharellus cibarius) has a high biopotential for use in functional nutrition. The aim of the work is to study the effect of drying methods on the biological value of dry functional mushroom ingredient from the fruit bodies of chanterelle mushrooms. The fruit bodies of Cantharellus cibarius collected in Kingisepp district of Leningrad region (Russia) were the object of the study. It was found that the content of the main components in the chemical composition of mushrooms in Kingisepp district slightly differs from the reference data; the content of minerals manganese, potassium, and vitamins D, C, and B3 provides the daily requirement of the human body in these substances, as for the heavy metals content – strontium and zinc were found in insignificant amounts. Analysis of the fatty acid composition of the mushrooms showed that the content of linoleic and oleic acids is of interest for obtaining a food ingredient. To obtain a functional mushroom ingredient, lyophilic drying for 34 h, heat drying at 70ºC for 12 h and at 50ºC for 24 h were used. Six samples were studied: lyophilic drying (cubes), 50ºC heat drying (chips), 70ºC heat drying (whole mushroom), and powders from fruit bodies dried by lyophilic drying, 50ºC and 70ºC heat drying. Based on the comparative analysis of samples according to organoleptic quality indicators, recommendations were given for the use of dry ingredients: samples after lyophilic drying (cubes) are recommended to create the presence of mushroom pieces in functional products, powders obtained by heat drying – to give the product mushroom flavor and aroma. In the recommended samples the content of vitamins B1, B2, A, E, B3, and B6 was determined. The maximum preservation of vitamins A, B1, B3, and B6 in the samples dried by lyophilic drying and heat drying at 70ºС was established.

The conditions of chemical hydrolysis of by-product fish raw materials (skin) of Atlantic herring were determined to obtain a food additive with a maximum yield of biologically active substances. The objects of the study were hydrolysates with a chemical reagent concentration of 0.2% (sample 1), 0.3% (sample 2), 0.4% (sample 3), in which the content of essential amino acids (methionine, lysine and threonine) and fat-soluble vitamins (A, D3, E) were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography. Pretreatment of herring skin with scales was treated with an alkaline reagent with a concentration of 0.05% and a liquid coefficient (LC = 4) for 60 minutes at a temperature of 55 ± 0.5°C, after which the samples were hydrolyzed at the above concentrations for 120 minutes at a temperature of 90 ± 0.5°C. The principal thing in the study was the selection of two parallel samples, excluding the influence of the human factor, which were mathematically processed into two calculations (two chromatograms), and the arithmetic mean of the indicator was derived from the results of two measurements using the LabSolution software. It was found that after pretreatment for 60 minutes, the concentration of 0.3% alkaline reagent is the best for hydrolysis of marine fish by-products (skin) of Atlantic herring at a temperature of 90 ± 0.5°C. Hydrolysis in the presence of such a concentration allowed to obtain the maximum yield of amino acids (2.76; 2.00 and 1.15%) and fat-soluble vitamins (0.16; 0.0039 and 0.29).

Introduction. Researchers in the field of oncology have a significant interest in the role of microorganisms in development of malignant neoplasms.

Aim. To study the levels of 2-heptyl-3-hydroxy-4-quinolone (PQS) and 2-heptyl-4-quinolone (HHQ) produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa in the blood of patients with lung cancer and to analyze the relation between their changes and changes in the level of immunoglobulins and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in the blood of patients with lung cancer.

Materials and methods.  PQS and HHQ were quantified in the blood of patients using high performance liquid chromatography. The levels of immunoglobulins G (IgG),  secretory immunoglobulin A (s-IgA),  and VEGF in the blood were determined using ELISA.

Results. Analysis have shown that the level of PQS in the blood of patients with lung cancer is 2-fold higher than in the control group. This change is accompanied by a decrease in the level of immunoglobulins IgG, as well as an increase in the content of s-IgA and growth factor VEGF in the blood.

Conclusion. PQS level in the blood of patients with lung cancer is elevated creating conditions aggravating the course of the main disease and worsening its prognosis.
Programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression in gastric cancer: literature review
Authors: Sotnikova T. N. , Danilova N. V. , Malkov P. G. , Polushkina T. V.
Published: July 2023

Gastric cancer is one of the most common oncological diseases at the present time, so research in this area is very significant and relevant. Immunological checkpoint inhibitors have previously demonstrated  their effectiveness and safety in various solid tumors, however, with regard to stomach cancer, to date, ambiguous results have been presented. Tumor cells express programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1), which binds to its programmed death receptor 1 (PD-1). Immune defense plays a key role in the initiation and progression of the disease. Understanding the regulatory mechanism of PD-L1 in gastric cancer can lead to significant progress in immunotherapy, as well as contribute to the adequate selection of patients treated with checkpoint inhibitors. In the review, we conducted an in-depth study of PD-L1 expression and regulatory immunosuppressive mechanisms in gastric cancer and methods for assessing PD-L1 status, and also studied the results of current clinical trials in which inhibitors of immunological control points were considered in combination with and without chemotherapy for this oncopathology.

Role of CT colonoscopy for colorectal cancer screening in Indian population
Authors: RKR Vedula
Published: July 2023

Cancer as a cause of death is missed mostly in many parts of India. Mortality continues to rise from colorectal cancers that could well be prevented. Genetic, familial and dietary factors significantly account for increased risk of colorectal cancers. More so, large bowel origin of cancer, as a primary lesion or a source of distant metastases is undetected in a large number of patients in the absence of a complete work up. Even with metastatic disease, patients with colorectal cancer survive for many years unlike those having upper gastrointestinal cancers. Colorectal malignancy is potentially curable if detected early by several established screening methods. Today there is a range of options for CRC screening in the average-risk population, with current technology falling into 2 general categories: stool tests, which include tests for occult blood or exfoliated DNA; and structural exams, which include flexible sigmoidoscopy (FSIG), colonoscopy, double-contrast barium enema (DCBE) and computed tomographic colonography (CTC). Any one of these options applied in a systematic program of regular screening has the potential to significantly reduce deaths from CRC. Computerized tomographic scanning colonoscopy (CTC) is the least invasive outpatient procedure and not well recognized in India as a screening tool. CTC is a minimally invasive imaging examination of the entire colon and rectum and uses Multi detector CT scanner to acquire images and advanced 2-dimensional (2D) and 3-dimensional (3D)-image display techniques for interpretation. Clinical trials including large cohorts studies of CTC yielded promising results and paved the way for larger multicenter screening trials. CTC sensitivity and specificity for large (10 mm) polyps was found to be as high as 85% to 93% and 97% respectively. The majority of studies assessing the relative acceptability of CTC and conventional colonoscopy in patients who have undergone both tests on the same day have demonstrated a preference for CTC. Screening of average-risk adults with CTC should commence at age 50 years though the interval for repeat examination after a negative CTC has not been studied. However, screening may be limited to select groups in India because of our own limitations. Keywords: colorectal cancer; CT colonoscopy; MDCT; virtual colonoscopy; screening

Araştırmada nitel analiz tekniği olan içerik analizi türü gerçekleştirilmiştir. Katılımcılara girişimcilik serüvenleri, kültürel adaptasyon ve iş piyasasına uyum üzerine genel sorular yöneltilmiştir. Elde edilen veriler MAXQDA nitel analiz programına aktarılmıştır. Bu analizde katılımcıların ifadelerin frekansları, çözümlemeler, kelime ve kod bulutları kullanılarak nitel analizler gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırmanın bulgularına bakıldığında Suriyeli girişimcilerin ilk etapta Türkiye iş piyasasına alışmakta zorlandıkları ancak zamanla adapta oldukları söylenebilir. Vatandaşlıklarının olmaması, sürücü belgesi denkliğinin olmaması, kanunlar, dil problemi, iş izni ve ruhsatı, piyasalardaki uygulamaları bilmemeleri gibi konularda Suriyeli girişimcilerin zorlandıkları söylenebilir. Firmaların müşterilerinin çoğunluğunu Arap müşteriler oluşturmaktadır. Katılımcıların öneri ve beklentileri genel olarak bakıldığında vatandaşlık, sermaye, banka işlemlerinde kolaylık, çalışma izni, teknolojik destek konularına ihtiyaç duydukları görülmektedir.
Концепты идеала и реальности для культурного наследия
Authors: Пиляк Сергей Александрович
Published: July 2023

Культурное наследие, выступая в качестве субстрата идентичности, рассматривается, как правило, как неразделимая сущность, обладающая свойствами подлинности и неизменности. Трактовка культурного наследия как иллюстрации важнейших философских и культурологических концептов позволяет по-новому рассмотреть природу наследия, проанализировать ранее не получавшие должного внимания экспективные возможности наследия.

Идеал и реальность являются особыми понятиями, наличие противоречий между которыми неоспоримо. Заметная доля конфликтов, возникающих в современности, завязана на различном понимании и восприятии сторонами идеала и реальности. Культурное наследие, отражающее и визуализирующее, наравне с другими аспектами человеческой цивилизации, и конфликты, одновременно демонстрирует упомянутые концепты, и подчиняет собственную судьбу их влиянию. Как известно, суровая реальность разрушает объекты как материального, так и нематериального наследия. Вместе с тем любой артефакт прошлого, не имея прочной связи с современностью, по-своему фрагментарно иллюстрирует идеалы, связанные с минувшими эпохами. Подлинный объект наследия способен идеализировать связанный с ним временной период. Это свойство активно применяется на практике – в сфере туризма, культуры, образования. Наследие, существующее в нашем восприятии как уже воплощенный идеал красоты, не может быть нами изменено. Именно поэтому идеалы, которые иллюстрируются объектами наследия, имеют характер константы, что придает им особый историко-культурный потенциал. Методика его реализации, являющейся важной практической задачей, должна опираться на масштабную научную платформу.

В рамках исследования сделан вывод о том, что отстраненность от реальности является одним из ключевых свойств культурного наследия, приводящим к специфичному толкованию концептов идеала и реальности в вопросах, имеющих отношение к сохранению и актуализации наследия.   
Патриотизм как ценность русской культуры в условиях специальной военной операции
Authors: Хорина Галина Петровна
Published: July 2023

В статье анализируются значение и особенности патриотизма и патриотического воспитания в условиях специальной военной операции. Раскрыта роль коллективного Запада, организовавшего очередной крестовый поход во главе с США против России, развязав информационную и «фейковую» войну. Показано участие в этом и некоторой части нашей элиты, особенно той, которая покинула пределы России, влияя, таким образом, на сознание народа, его патриотические чувства.

Рассмотрены истоки российского патриотизма как глубинной ценности, которая начиная с зарождения государственности и на протяжении всей последующей многовековой истории нашей страны является неотъемлемой ценностью нашего культурного ядра.

Раскрыт многолетний опыт, накопленный в СССР по патриотическому воспитанию, который может быть использован и в условиях специальной военной операции. Великая Отечественная война явилась тяжелым испытанием для нашей Родины: были захвачены территории Белоруссии, Украины, часть России, но, несмотря на это, советские люди не дрогнули, проявляли чудеса массового героизма, сражаясь не только в рядах Красной армии, но и в тылу врага, создавая подпольные организации, партизанские отряды, которые контролировали большие территории. Сопротивление современному нацизму показывает и народ Донбасса.

Показаны формы работы по воспитанию патриотизма.

 
Итало-критская школа между Востоком и Западом: «Поклонение волхвов» Михаила Дамаскиноса
Authors: Симакина Марина Анатольевна
Published: July 2023

Итало-критская школа редко становится объектом исследований искусствоведов. В российской истории искусствоведения сложилась общая идея о том, что после знаменитой работы В. Н. Лазарева «История византийской живописи», сказать что-либо новое в этом направлении исследований достаточно сложно. Однако интерес к отдельным аспектам иконографии мастеров этой школы со стороны современных исследователей, а также к отдельным работам представителей итало-критской школы позволяет думать о возможности возникновения новых идей и открытий.

Статья посвящена творчеству мало известного в России мастера итало-критской школы Михаила Дамаскиноса. На примере одной из наиболее известных его работ «Поклонение волхвов» прослеживается сложная модель влияния различных школ и мастеров на данного художника. Вслед за рядом исследователей автор отмечает два основных типа работ Михаила Дамаскиноса: работы с православной композицией и работы, изначально задуманные в венецианском стиле. В ходе исследования дается описание нескольких работ каждого типа. Определяются основные особенности подхода Дамаскиноса к формированию как иконографии, так и визуального решения работ. В работе «Поклонение волхвов» отмечается существенное влияние не только византийской традиции, но и творчества итальянских художников XIV–XV вв., а также венецианской живописи XVI в. Отмечается некоторое родство визуального решения «Поклонения волхвов» Михаила Дамаскиноса и двух ранних работ Доменикоса Теотокопулоса (Эль Греко) на эту же тему.  
Культура России как стратегический фактор национальной и глобальной безопасности
Authors: Колин Константин Константинович
Published: July 2023

Проведен анализ современной геополитической ситуации, которая сложилась в мировом сообществе через год после начала специальной военной операции на Украине. Показано, что эту ситуацию следует квалифицировать как начало новой мировой войны, в которой России и ее геополитическим союзникам противостоят страны НАТО во главе с США. Причины этой войны имеют цивилизационный характер — это противостояние двух культур, имеющих принципиально различные духовные ценности. В этих условиях  российская культура становиться стратегическим фактором глобальной безопасности всего мирового сообщества, которое сегодня переживает критический период своего развития. Приоритетной задачей российской культуры сегодня является сохранение и укрепление ее традиционных духовно-нравственных ценностей, сформированных на основе тысячелетнего исторического опыта становления и развития национальной культуры нашей страны.
Мировоззренческие прозрения философствующего натуралиста
Authors: Олейников Юрий Васильевич
Published: July 2023

В статье анализируются две наиболее значимые попытки преодоления механистического мировоззрения, господствовавшего в эпоху модерна, совпавшую с периодом становления, развития и заката индустриального способа преобразования материального мира.

Рассматриваются задачи, условия и реальные успехи классиков марксизма в реализации целей формирования новой мировоззренческой парадигмы, созвучной задачам и практике становления принципиально новой системы материальных производительных и производственных отношений, соответствующих теоретическим представлениям о качественно новом способе жизнедеятельности посткапиталистического общества; анализируются причины безуспешности усилий К. Маркса и Ф. Энгельса.

Более плодотворной оказалась попытка В. И. Вернадского. В условиях апогея развития индустриального способа преобразования мира и становления производительных сил постиндустриального общества, сделавших чувственно-зримыми изменения места и роли человека в природе и обществе, ему удалость наметить основные причины коренного изменения современного бытия человека в мире и их отражение в системе меняющихся современных мировоззренческих представлений людей.

BACKGROUND: Currently, no systematic data are available on fetal radiation exposure as a result of radiographic studies during pregnancy. Consequently, there are no approved methods of its calculation that can be used in clinical practice. It is especially relevant for computed tomography scans as it is a widely used and highly informative method of diagnostic imaging associated with high exposure levels.
AIM: to systematize currently available data on radiation dose absorbed by the fetus from computed tomography scans in pregnant women.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The search for publications in Russian and English was conducted in PubMed/Medline, Google Scholar and еLibrary. The final analysis included 12 papers including 8 studies using human body phantoms, 3 retrospective studies and one prospective clinical study.
RESULTS: Abdominal and pelvic computed tomography scans as well as whole-body scans were found to be associated with the highest fetal radiation exposure. However, in none of the publications the fetal exposure limit was exceeded.
CONCLUSION: Clinically indicated non-contrast-enhanced computed tomography scans in pregnant women are not likely to be associated with the fetal absorbed doses that exceed the limit of 100 mGy regardless of the scanned area. However, this limit might be exceeded in case of performing multiple studies or if multiphase abdominal or pelvic computed tomography scans, or whole-body computed tomography scans are performed in patients with multiple trauma. In these cases, a decision regarding the need for these investigations should be made by a multi-disciplinary team (including radiation safety specialists, diagnostic radiologists and clinicians) based on the results of additional risk assessment.
What kind of alcohol-related photo makes people want to post on social media? Cross-cultural comparisons between Korea and the US
Authors: Park Jee Yun , Jia Wufan , Lee Hye-Eun
Published: July 2023

Given the increase in problems arising from young people more frequently posting alcohol use on social media, this research aims to elucidate which factors influence such behavior. Additionally, this study examines the impact of alcohol-related cognitions on posting behavior. The final aim is to discover cross-cultural differences between the US and Korea. An online experiment was conducted as a 2 (photo-type: alcohol focus versus alcohol-in-use) × 2 (alcohol type: beer versus wine) × 2 (culture: American versus Korean) between-subject design with 203 American and 233 Korean young adults. Results showed that alcohol-in-use photos generated higher intention to post than alcohol-focused photos and wine photos generated higher intention than beer photos. Also, only Koreans showed a significant effect of alcohol-related cognitions on posting intention. This empirical study suggests that interventions aimed at decreasing problems that result from alcohol-related postings might benefit from emphasizing photos depicting people with alcohol (alcohol-in-use), especially when it comes to wine photos. In addition, culture-specific intervention programs can be designed based on the results of this study.
