Authors: Zubec Božica , Lučan Jelena
Published: June 2020

Aim. To test the users’ contentment with the health visiting service, to see if the users are getting enough information about their health condition, to see if the users feel they are being frequently visited by the health visitor and to check whether something needs to be changed in the health visiting service work.

Methods. The research was carried out as a term study. 128 users of the health visiting service of Health Centre Sisak participated in a 25-question survey. The answers were defined by the Likert scale.

Results. 82 respondents (65%) believe that the service is exceptionally organised and 95 of them (75%) are getting all the necessary information about their health condition. 89 respondents (71%) are visited by the service once a month. Some of the suggestions on how to improve the service are the following: more frequent visits, introduction of the afternoon shift for the employed respondents and larger number of health visitors which would prolong their stay at the respondent’s home.

Conclusion. The users of the health visitor service have positive attitude towards the service and they feel they are getting enough information about their health condition.
ICU Nurses’ Perception of Visits to Patients
Authors: Dobrinić Ines , Režić Slađana
Published: June 2020

Introduction. Visits to patients are part of a positive and effective strategy of helping patients and their families to better adapt to the stress caused by a patient’s admission to an intensive care unit (ICU).

Aim. To determine the ICU nurses’ perception of visits to patients.

Methods.
The study was conducted at the University Hospital Centre Zagreb (UHC).
The cross-sectional study included nurses who work in ICUs. An anonymous, self-designed questionnaire was used and filled in by 44 respondents. The questionnaire consisted of 17 closed-ended questions pertaining to demographic data, questions related to information on visits and questions about the concept of open visits.

Results.
Out of the total number of 44 respondents, 25 respondents stated that their ICU has booklets about the manner of visits and visiting hours, and that they hand them out to families, while 19 respondents stated that they do not have such booklets. 61% of the respondents feel they have sufficient training to communicate with the patient’s family. 41% of the respondents said that the visits had a positive effect on the patient’s condition and only 2% stated that the visits had no positive effect. 57 % of the respondents think that visits sometimes have a positive effect on the patient’s condition. Of the total number of respondents, 84% feel that visiting hours should be limited. Respondents
feel that visits sometimes impede them in their work (66%), while 59% of the respondents feel that visits help spread infections. Out of the total number of respondents, only 32% of them stated that they were familiar with the open ICU concept.

Conclusion.
More than half of the respondents stated that they have a written visiting policy on ICU wards, and that they are trained to communicate with the family members of patients. Most respondents feel that visits contribute to the spread of infections and that they would limit children’s visits to the ICU. The respondents’ poor knowledge of the open ICU concept creates one of the barriers to introducing it in their wards.
Sibiryakova’s Charitable Activity as the Civil Activity Manifestation of the Merchant Class Women in Imperial Russia of the Late XIXth Century
Authors:   Irkutsk National Research Technical University, Gavrilova Natalya Igorevna
Published: June 2020

The paper is devoted to the study of charitable activities of the owner of large capital in gold mining Anna Mikhailovna Sibiryakova in the 1880–1890. The analysis of motivational attitudes, behavioral models and the main directions of Sibiryakova's philanthropic initiatives is presented in the context of the formation of civil culture in Russian society at the end of the XIX century. As the key value orientations of Sibiryakova's charitable activities, the author highlights the idea of serving the public interest, recognized primarily as the need to develop enlightenment and public education. These areas have become the main areas of investment of the donated capital. The pronounced attitude of A.M. Sibiryakova to personal, active participation in solving social issues that have entered the space of her charity is emphasized. The author concluded that the charitable activity of A.M. Sibiryakova’s appear to be a significant example of civil activity of the merchant class women, who managed to perceive the values of the civil culture that was developing in Russian society of the late XIXth century. At the same time, they combined these values with the traditional merchant class concept of charity as the fulfillment of a moral duty.
Internationalism in Student Detachments of the Soviet Union in the 1970s–1980s (Based on the Materials of the Krasnodar Region)
Authors:   Kuban State University, Kapshuk Anton Yuryevich
Published: June 2020

In the paper, the author considers the issue of internationalism education in student construction detachments in the 1970s–1980s, based on the documents of the Krasnodar region. The research contains unpublished materials from the Russian State Archive of social-political history, documentation center of the modern history of the Krasnodar region and state archive of the modern history of the Stavropol region. As a part of the research, more than a dozen archival files were introduced into scientific circulation, revealing some features of internationalism education in student construction detachments. The author examines the ideological basis of international education in the USSR, the change in the number of foreign students involved in student detachments at different stages of the period of study. The paper also explores various methods of ideological and educational work with the participants of student construction detachments: holding “national days”, days of solidarity, international parties, solidarity rallies, etc. The author concludes that some of the methods used in student construction detachments, that have heterogeneous ethnic composition, can also be used for international education of modern Russian youth.
Design as a Hermeneutic Event: Building Communication Between the Individual and the Environment
Authors:   Lipetsk State Technical University, Kantaryuk Yekaterina Anatolyevna , Kukushkina Vera Anatolyevna ,   Lipetsk State Technical University
Published: June 2020

The study presents the results of a practice-oriented philosophical research of design as a hermeneutical event – a communicative representation of the aesthetic and technical meanings of project activities in an active sociocultural environment. In the context of the study, the cognitive possibilities of philosophical hermeneutics are clarified in relation to the question about the humanitarian meanings of ergo-design artifacts (where, as integration of design and ergonomics, objects that are justified aesthetically and ergonomically become possible). Design as a hermeneutic event occurs by analogy with the text, when design objects are understood as a symbolic system created by man. It is proved that understanding design (philosophically meaningful design practices) can be represented in the creative unity of rational and intuitive semantic aspects. The situational representation of design as a hermeneutic event in the article is made with reference to the author's results of design projection (the project of the Lipetsk hospital church in honor of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God)
The Spiritual and Moral Meaning and Significance of Symbolic Images in the Process of Spreading the Christian Faith as a Tradition Perceived by Christian Thinkers From the Ancient Philosophical Heritage
Authors:   Moscow National Research  State University of Civil Engineering, Neganov Vladimir Vladimirovich
Published: June 2020

This scientific research discusses the historical and philosophical consideration of the spiritual and moral meaning and significance of symbolic images in the process of spreading the Christian faith. The purpose of this work is to identify the main symbolic traditions perceived by Christian thinkers from the ancient philosophical heritage. Of particular interest is the opportunity to trace and analyze in the historical and philosophical context the main correlation strategies of symbolic images, and their new meanings, inherited from ancient philosophical thought. In this regard, it seems important to focus on the main and most vivid meanings of Christian symbolism, in particular, in its applicability to anthropological problems. The theoretical and practical significance of the scientific research is to identify the features of Christian symbolism, perceived from the ancient symbolic tradition, and their correlation with the spiritual and moral social and personal requirements of society in the process of spreading the Christian faith. While studying this problem, the author uses general logical methods of theoretical knowledge and methods of scientific research: comparative analysis and synthesis, generalization, analogy and a systematic approach. As a result of this scientific research, the author shows the special meaning of the ancient symbol, as well as the importance and relevance of its reception. It also demonstrates the use and filling ancient symbolic images (in specific situations) in the Holy Scripture and the Holy Tradition of the Christian Church with new meanings in the process of spreading the Christian doctrine and spiritual and moral improvement of a person.
DEVELOPMENT OF STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT IN THE KRASNODAR TERRITORY AT THE MUNICIPAL LEVEL
Authors:   Economics and Management Department, Kuban State University branch in Tikhoretsk, Kuznetsova Irina Vasilyevna
Published: June 2020

In the Krasnodar Territory, a great deal of work is being done to determine the prospects and directions of the development. The strategy of socio-economic develop-ment of the Krasnodar region until 2030 has determined the vector for development of the municipalities. Based on the analysis, the article concludes that the qualita-tive changes in the processes of strategizing in the Krasnodar region at the municipal level have begun. About 40 % of municipalities in the Krasnodar territory have carried out or are currently carrying out activities to develop strategies until 2030, but there are also some, which are not carrying out any work (or that is not noticeable in any way, which, we believe, is equiva-lent). Some districts are currently implementing the es-tablishment of cooperation in economic areas in order to develop common solutions. The author comes to a conclusion that municipalities have started using plan-ning based on the use of social interaction technology, i.e. competitions, sessions, seminars, public hearings and roundtables are held at all stages of strategic plan-ning, as well as the use of CDEP (Coordination, Devel-opment, Expertise and Promotion) technology, experts and specialists are being involved. The analysis showed that municipalities have problems in notifying and promoting strategic planning processes, thus some recommendations are given.

A student perception survey was distributed and analyzed to better understand the view that students have towards term projects. The results from a Kendall Tau-B test are presented in this paper.
SIX DEGREES OF CHEM & BACON
Authors: Robinson Mary , Minshull Scarlett
Published: June 2020

Some courses are just not of interest to some students but are nonetheless important to their education as engineers.  First-year chemistry for engineers has been shown to be one such course; student exit surveys at graduation indicate that students from some programs didn’t see how the course connected to their program or into their careers as engineers [1]. Gamification is a popular technique where game elements, like point systems, are integrated into a course structure to motivate student learning and participation [2].  In the offering of this first-year chemistry course in the summer of 2019, the instructor applied gamification techniques in the course design.  The major changes to the course structure included the ability to “unlock” an alternate grading scheme if at least five of seven tasks were completed, at least three of which were the completion of a “Six Degrees of Chem & Bacon” challenge.  These challenges required the students to think about a core topic in the course module and find a practical application from their discipline of engineering. The experiences of the instructor and a student in the Spring 2019 class are shared here.  The big take-aways are 1) to consider the benefits of reflection in learning, and 2) to consider the workload, both of the students and of the teaching team, when adding this type of activity to a course.
THE ROLE OF SUB-DISCIPLINE CHOICE IN WOMEN’S ENROLLMENT AND SUCCESS WITHIN CANADIAN UNDERGRADUATE ENGINEERING PROGRAMS.
Authors: Sweeney Juliette
Published: June 2020

In Canada, the proportion of female students in engineering is considerably lower than the proportion of female students in higher education. Using Tinto’s (1993) theories concerning social and academic integration, this study investigated the relationships between the proportion of female undergraduate engineering students, and the proportion of female faculty, and departmental lead faculty.  Using descriptive statistics, the study established that distinct and persistent differences exist in the proportions of female enrolment among schools and among sub-disciplines. This paper addresses a gap in the literature concerning the impact of sub-discipline choice on women's engagement and success within undergraduate engineering programs in Canada. The proportion of female students was found to vary considerably across the sub-disciplines, from 48% in biosystems to 15% in software engineering [14]. The paper will present female sub-discipline enrolment trends over time and discuss the impact of sub-discipline choice and institutional factors on female students' successful academic and social integration within Canadian engineering schools.
WHO YOU ARE AND HOW YOU WORK: EMBEDDING POSITIONALITY IN ENGINEERING DESIGN
Authors: Walji Noosheen , Sheridan Patricia K. , Kinnear Penny , Irish Robert , Foster Jason
Published: June 2020

As the Engineering profession increasingly explores the complex relationships between technology and society, the responsibility of engineers is evolving to include considering the socio-technical complexities in which their technology will be embedded [1]. This evolution has led to interest in teaching empathy and reflexivity in undergraduate engineering education, in part to prepare student engineers for effective community engagement in their engineering practice [2] [3].  This practice paper discusses considerations, approaches, and theories that informed our design practice as we incorporated positionality into our course. Positionality was introduced as a foundational design tool to approximately 300 students in a first-year design course at a large, public, research-intensive university. In this work we discuss the integration of positionality as a framework to facilitate self-awareness, intentionality, leadership, reflexivity, and empathy in individual and team engineering design activities.
Clinical and epidemiological analysis of severe traumatic brain injury: the role of nutritional support to the injured with a prolonged state of impaired consciousness
Authors: Nikiforov M. V. , Korolev A. A.
Published: June 2020

Relevance. Patients with prolonged impaired consciousness due to traumatic brain injury are the most difficult category of patients in inpatient medical rehabilitation units. Despite the experience gained in managing this complex category of patients, the problem of nutrition status and trophological insufficiency, as well as practical issues regarding the organization of optimal nutrition at this stage of medical rehabilitation remain unresolved.

Intention. To study the role of nutritional support for patients with long-term impaired consciousness on the basis of a clinical and epidemiological analysis of severe traumatic brain injury.

Methodology.The data of an epidemiological analysis of traumatic brain injuries and features of ongoing nutritional support in patients with long-term impaired consciousness are presented, based on a study of domestic and foreign publications from 2005 to 2019.

Results and Discussion. Timely and adequate nutritional support optimizes the structural-functional and metabolic systems of the body, adaptive reserves interfere with rapidly progressive depletion and chronic catabolic processes, contribute to positive changes in the functional state of the brain, reduce infectious complications, and increase the effectiveness of rehabilitation measures and the rate of recovery of consciousness.

Conclusion. The analysis revealed the ambiguity of the interpreted data on clinical recommendations and approaches to the use of nutritional support in patients with long-term impaired consciousness due to traumatic brain injury. Considering the fact that in most cases such patients need continuous long-term comprehensive rehabilitation measures, accompanied by significant energy costs of the body, an essential component of the rehabilitation process, in our opinion, is the inclusion of adequate nutritional support that prevents fast-progressing exhaustion and chronic catabolic processes. In this regard, such an urgent task is to optimize the algorithms of nutritional support in patients with long-term impaired consciousness after a traumatic brain injury, the solution of which will improve the functional state of the brain and, therefore, the rehabilitation prognosis and quality of their life.
Optical Properties of Photodynamic Therapy Drugs in Different Environments: The Paradigmatic Case of Temoporfin
Authors: Aslanoglu busenur , Yakavets Ilya , Zorin Vladimir , Lassalle Henri-Pierre , Ingrosso Francesca , Monari Antonio , Catak Saron
Published: June 2020

Computational tools have been used to study the photophysical and photochemical features of photosensitizers in photodynamic therapy (PDT) –a minimally invasive, less aggressive alternative for cancer treatment. PDT is mainly based by the activation of molecular oxygen through the action of a photoexcited sensitizer (photosensitizer). Temoporfin, widely known as mTHPC, is a second-generation photosensitizer, which produces the cytotoxic singlet oxygen when irradiated with visible light and hence destroys tumor cells. However, the bioavailability of the mostly hydrophobic photosensitizer, and hence its incorporation into the cells, is fundamental to achieve the desired effect on malignant tissues by PDT. In this study, we focus on the optical properties of the temoporfin chromophore in different environments –in vacuo, in solution, encapsulated in drug delivery agents, namely cyclodextrin, and interacting with a lipid bilayer.
Silica-Pillared Mo2TiC2 MXene for High-Power and Long-life Lithium and Sodium-ion Batteries
Authors: Maughan Philip A. , Bouscarrat Luc , Seymour Valerie R. , Dawson Richard , Tapia-Ruiz Nuria , Bimbo Nuno
Published: June 2020

In this work, we apply an amine-assisted silica pillaring method to create the first example of a porous Mo2TiC2 MXene with nanoengineered interlayer distances. The pillared Mo2TiC2 has a surface area of 202 m2 g-1, which is among the highest reported for any MXene, and has a variable gallery height between 0.7 and 3 nm. The expanded interlayer distance leads to significantly enhanced cycling performance for Li-ion storage, with superior capacities, rate capabilities and cycling stabilities in comparison to the non-pillared version. The pillared Mo2TiC2 achieved capacities over 1.7 times greater than multilayered MXene at 20 mA g-1 (≈ 320 mAh g-1) and 2.5 times higher at 1 A g-1 (≈ 150 mAh g-1). The fast-charging properties of pillared Mo2TiC2 are further demonstrated by outstanding stability even at 1 A g-1 (under 8 min charge time), retaining 80% of the initial capacity after 500 cycles. Furthermore, we use a combination of spectroscopic techniques (i.e. XPS, NMR and Raman) to show unambiguously that the charge storage mechanism of this MXene occurs by a conversion reaction through the formation of Li2O. This reaction increases by 2-fold the capacity beyond intercalation, and therefore, its understanding is crucial for further development of this family of compounds. In addition, we also investigate for the first time the sodium storage properties of the pillared and non-pillared Mo2TiC2.
The ORR in Ca2+ Containing DMSO: Reaction Mechanism, Electrode Surface Characterization and Redox Mediation
Authors: Bawol Pawel Peter , Reinsberg Philip Heinrich , Koellisch-Mirbach Andreas , Bondue Christoph Johannes , Baltruschat Helmut
Published: June 2020

In this study we strengthen our fundamental understanding of the underlying reactions of a possible Ca-O2 battery using a DMSO based electrolyte. Employing the rotating ring disc electrode, we find a transition from a mixed process of O2- and O22- formation to an exclusive O2- formation at gold electrodes. We will show that in this system Ca-superoxide and Ca-peroxide are formed as soluble species. However, there is a strongly adsorbed layer of ORR products on the electrode surface which is blocking the electrode. Surprisingly the blockade is a partial blockade because the formation of superoxide can be maintained. During an anodic sweep the ORR product layer is stripped from the electrode surface. With X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy the deposited ORR products are shown to be Ca(O2)2, CaO2 and CaO as well as side reaction products such as CO32- and other oxygen containing carbon species. We will give evidences that the strongly attached layer on the electrocatalyst that is partially blocking the electrode could be adsorbed CaO. The disproportionation reaction of O2- in presence of Ca2+ was demonstrated via mass spectrometry. Finally the ORR mediated by 2,5-Di-tert-1,4-benzoquinone (DBBQ) is investigated by differential electrochemical mass spectrometry (DEMS) and XPS. Similar products as without DBBQ are deposited on the electrode surface. The analysis of the DEMS experiments shows that DBBQ- is reducing O2 to O2- and O22- whereas in the presence of DBBQ2- O22- is formed. The mechanism of the ORR with and without DBBQ will be discussed.

Published: June 2020

The abstract nature of atomic and hybrid orbitals makes it a challenging concept for students to understand. Presented is the Hybridization Explorer, a web-based interactive learning tool, for manipulating and experimenting with hybridization concepts. Through the explorer students can explore both the combination of atomic orbitals, and the visual representation of both atomic and hybrid orbitals and corresponding bond formation. Case studies from an undergraduate and graduate-level demonstration of the explorer are described. Finally, self-reported student confidence levels on solving hybridization questions both before and after use of the explorer are analyzed and discussed.
Effect of Composition and Surface Type on Activity of Transition Metal Oxides and Sulfides for CO2 Electrochemical Reduction
Authors: Ananthaneni Sahithi , Rankin Rees
Published: June 2020

Transition metal oxides (TMO) and transition metal sulfides (TMS) are proven to be promising electrocatalysts for CO2RR but there is no clear understanding on catalyst activity or product selectivity based on trends in binding free energies. Therefore, a broader array of TMO and TMS are studied as electrocatalysts for CO2RR thus addressing the gap in this field. This work shows how different types of surface facets with same catalyst composition can fine-tune the binding free energies of intermediate species by modifying the active binding site. Here, catalyst activity for CO2RR towards formation of 4 different products is computed and compared for different materials with (100), (110) and (111) crystal facets and based on this, product selectivity is determined. Optimal catalyst design strategies for this family of materials are developed using the binding free energies of 4 key intermediate species COOH*, CO*, HCO* and H*. In this study, among the materials studied, ZnO zincblende (100) is the material that showed highest catalyst activity towards CO2RR to CH3OH and CH4 while minimizing HER

Authors: Algabbani Aljoharah , Alqahtani Amani , BinDhim Nasser
Published: June 2020

Background: Active participation in health research plays an integral role in the development and implementation of evidence-based health interventions and policies. Aims: To assess public willingness and determinants of participation in public health research. Methods: A cross-sectional survey targeting Saudi residents aged > 16 years from the 13 regions of Saudi Arabia, using computer-assisted telephone interviews. We assessed the sociodemographic of participants, participants’ involvement in research, their acceptance to participate, barriers hindering their participation, and their willingness to be involved in future health research. Pearson’s χ2 and logistic regression analyses were used to explore determinants. Results: There were 2512 participants in this study. Three hundred and seventy one (14.8%) confirmed that they had been invited previously to participate in research studies and 271 (73%) accepted the invitation. The majority (92%, n = 2319) of participants were willing to participate in future research. Being a young adult, male, college-educated, and employed were the main factors associated with willingness to participate in health research. Those who had previous experience of participation in health research were 3 times more willing to participate in future health research compared with participants with no prior experience (P < 0.001). Conclusions: This study highlighted the key determinants of willingness to participate in health research. Most participants had never been invited to participate in health research, but the majority reported a positive attitude towards participation. With rapid health system development nationally and regionally, Saudi participation levels in health research still need improvement.

Corpo e contexto escolar: experiências lúdico-simbólicas
Authors: Chaves Iduina Mont´Alverne , Nhary Tania Marta Costa , Menezes Eduardo Pimentel
Published: June 2020

Este artigo trata de um estudo do imaginário lúdico através do movimento corporal de crianças de uma escola pública, localizada na cidade de  Niterói/RJ. Pretendeu-se construir uma pesquisa dos sentidos, com vistas a trazer à tona reflexões sobre a tensão entre a potência das manifestações corporais e os fazeres docentes revelados na dinâmica lúdico simbólica das crianças, em atividades de jogos e brincadeiras. O estudo se fundamentou na perspectiva teórico-metodológica da sociologia compreensiva de Michel Maffesoli e na teoria da complexidade de Edgar Morin. Os estudos do imaginário, os estudos sobre corpo, e a pesquisa narrativa, alinharam-se ao referencial teórico-metodológico,  de modo a capturar os sentidos dos espaços revelando a cultura das crianças (modos de pensar, sentir e agir), pela expressividade de suas múltiplas linguagens, especialmente a linguagem corporal. Por meio da cartogênese, uma das heurísticas utilizadas para capturar manifestações simbólicas, foi revelado que a linguagem corporal das crianças do estudo remetem à heroicidade e ao afeto. Acreditamos que a pesquisa mostrou que a saída para a crise atual do paradigma dominante será o aparecimento de um novo paradigma, que não negue o anterior, mas que transforme o ‘olhar’ do homem para a realidade dada; que não exclua a emoção, a beleza, a ética e a estética e, sobretudo, o corpo que, por imagens simbólicas, expressa sentimentos, emoções e formas de ser e estar no mundo.

Tədqiqatın məqsədi. Təqdim olunan hazırkı tədqiqat işinin məqsədi qoca yaşlı qadınların uşaqlıq borusunda yerləşən limfoid törəmələrin, regional, morfoloji (makromikroskopik), fərdi quruluş xüsusiyyətlərini öyrənmək olmuşdur.

Material və metodlar. Tədqiqatın obyekti 56 yaş və ondan yuxarı vəfat etmiş 27 qadından  autopsiya  zamanı götürülmüş sağ və sol uşaqlıq borularının köndələn kəsiklərindən hazırlanmış və müxtəlif üsullarla  rənglənmiş histoloji preparatlar olmuşdur. Limfa düyünlərinin morfometrik parametrləri MBS-9 stereomikroskopu ilə təsvir olunmuş və statistik hesablamalar aparılmışdır.

Tədqiqatın nəticələri. Apardığımız tədqiqatın nəticəsində müəyyən etmişik ki, 56 yaşdan başlayaraq uşaqlıq borularının selikli qişası limfa düyünləri saxlanılmaqla bərabər, onlar istər miqdarca, istər formaca və istərsə də morfoloji quruluşca (eni, uzunluğu) involyutiv dəyişikliklərə məruz qalır. Sağ və sol uşaqlıq borularının selikli qişasında yerləşən limfa düyünlərinin makromikroskopik quruluşunda heç bir nəzərə çarpacaq fərq aşkar edilməmişdir. Uşaqlıq borusunun uşaqlıq hissəsində limfa düyünlərinin miqdarı ən az göstəriciyə malikdir.
Xroniki hipoksiya zamanı hipofiz və böyrəküstü vəzilərin patohistoloji xüsusiyyətləri
Authors: Yagubova S.M.

Tədqiqatın məqsədi xroniki hipoksiya zamanı hipofiz və böyrəküstü vəzilərin toxuma strukturlarında (vəzi və stromal) baş verən morfofunksional dəyişikliklərin patogenetik və morfogenetik xüsusiyyətlərinin öyrənilməsi olmuşdur.

Tədqiqatın material və metodları. Tədqiqat obyekti xroniki hipoksiya modeli yardılmış kütləsi 180-200 qram olan yetkin erkək ağ siçovulların hipofiz və böyrəküstü vəziləri olmuşdur. Tədqiqatın gedişində histoloji və morfometrik müayinə metodlarından istifadə edilmişdir.

Tədqiqatın nəticələri. Uzunmüddətli hipoksiyaya hipofizin və böyrəküstü vəzilərin hüceyrələri, damarları və birləşdirici toxuma strukturları müxtəlif morfo-struktur dəyişikliklərlə cavab verir. Toxumalarda baş verən morfoloji dəyişikliklər hər iki vəzidə müxtəlif olub, onların morfo-funksional xüsusiyyətlərindən, eləcə də hipoksiyaya (təsirinə) həssaslıq dərəcəsindən asılıdır.Vəzilərin morfoloji tədqiqi zamanı təcrübə qruplarında hipoksiyadan sonrakı bərpa dövrü – vəzilərin strukturunun yenidənqurulması – bütün toxumalarının bərpa olunması böyrəküstü vəzidə təcrübənin 15-ci, hipofizdə isə 30-cu günü müşahidə edilmişdir.

Yekun olaraq qeyd etmək lazımdır ki, hipoksiyanın təsiri ilə hipofiz və böyrəküstü vəzilərin hüceyələrində müxtəlif struktur dəyişikliklər əmələ gəlməsinə baxmayaraq, bu vəzilər orqanizmin hipoksiyaya qarşı kompensator-adaptasiya proseslərinin formalaşmasında mühüm rol oynayır. Hipofiz böyrəküstü vəzi ilə müqayisədə endogen və ekzogen faktorların təsirinə daha erkən və daha çox məruz qaldığı üçün, hipofizdə distrofik və destruktiv dəyişikliklər daha qabarıq özünü büruzə verir.

The article observes the technological modes optimization of tea raw materials extraction (black tea and hibiscus tea beverage) used in the technology of emulsion drinks as natural food additives (dyes, flavorings, surfactants) and sources of valuable biologically active substances. The researchers studied the mass fraction dependence of soluble solids and vitamin C in tea extracts on the determining factors (hydromodule, duration and temperature) that affect the extraction kinetics of the biologically active substances using mathematical modeling. Based on the experiment results processing, a man obtained second-degree polynomial equations that adequately described the mathematical dependence of the mass fraction of soluble dry extract substances on the hydromodule and the extraction time. The researchers experimentally determined the optimal extraction parameters: time – 15 and 20 minutes; temperature – 70 and 60 °C for black tea and hibiscus drink, respectively; hydromodule – 1:5. The mass fraction of the functional ingredient (vitamin C) under the specified modes was from 84.6 to 189.2 mg/%. The researchers run the commodity quality evaluation of tea extracts obtained according to the developed parameters. On organoleptic and safety indicators tea extracts met the requirements of the current normative documentation.

Published: June 2020

Background

The objective of this study was to find the distinct risk subsets or clusters identified by the combination of factors and important factors to classify under five mortality (U5M) in high focused Indian states.

Methods

Using population-based cross-sectional data from the National Family Health Survey (NFHS, 2015-2016) on 1, 40, 427 live births of five years preceding the survey occurred to 99,205 women of high focused Indian states with U5M rate above the national level, a recursive partitioning approach based two classification tree models, one without considering missing values and other with missing together approach, were fitted using binary outcome of U5M and independent factors comprising of socioeconomic, demographic, maternal and biological, nutritional and environmental factors.

Results

There were nine and sixteen sub-groups in model-1 and model-2, respectively. In model-1, breastfeeding = no & birth in past 5 years = (2, 3+ births) and in model-2, breastfeeding = no & birth weight = (<2.5kg, not known) & birth in past 5 years = (2, 3 or more births) were found to be maximum mortality risk sub-groups. In terms of variable importance to predict U5M, model-1 identified birth in past 5 years, breastfeeding, birth order, wealth index, mother‘s age at birth. Model-2 additionally identified delivery complications, birth weight, state, sanitation facility, birth interval, caste, education. Overall correct classification rate was higher for model-1 (66%) than model-2 (64%).

Conclusions

The main observed risk cluster was combination of two factors like breastfeeding and number of births in past 5 years, which for most people are easily modifiable with appropriate strategies and policies. Finally, to combat U5M in high focused states, identifying risk subsets or clusters is important for targeting and intervening purposes, as the intensity and type of policies and programs may differ according to clusters. This method is suitable to identify complex natural interactions between predictors, important variables and hypothesis generation to inform policy maker on intervention strategies, which may be difficult or impossible to uncover using traditional multivariable techniques.
