Маterials and methods. Screening investigation was performed in all 124 patients, suffering acute pancreatitis and admitted to hospital; then a screening investigation of Нelicobacter pylori in feces and the blood serological investigation was conducted. In 39 (31.5%) patients bacteriological investigation of biological material for revealing of Нelicobacter pylori was conducted. The patients were distributed into two groups: the main - 66 patients with severe and with a middle severity course of acute pancreatitis and a control one - 58 patients with light course of acute pancreatitis.

Results. Positive results of fecal express-test were obtained in 105 (84.7%) patients. In accordance to the blood serological investigations results in 24 h from the admittance to hospital moment in a control group a positive result was obtained in 8 (13.8%) patients, and in the main - in 23 (34.8%); while in 7 days - in 9 (15.5%) and 42 (63.6%) patients, accordingly. Аntibiotics, which are applied for therapy in purulent-septic complications of acute pancreatitis, guarantee the efficacy of eradication of Нelicobacter pylori in 94.9% patients.

Conclusion. The enhancement of quantity of the blood positive serological investigations by 28.8% (р < 0.001) in patients of the main group in 7 days from the admittance to the hospital date trusts, that Нelicobacter pylori constitutes not the only one etiological factor in acute pancreatitis, but a possible marker of development of its purulent-septic complications as well.

Published: December 2020

The article deals with the process of post-harvest processing of vegetable crops. Attention is focused on the fact that the existing complex of machines does not allow to fully meet the agrotechnical requirements for the technological process of post-harvest processing of root crops. It is proposed to use ultrasonic action on root crops for cleaning them from soil impurities. Data on the effect of acoustic cavitation generated by ultrasonic waves with a frequency of 18-18.5 kHz at a power density of at least 1 W / cm² are given on the effect of acoustic cavitation on a root crop in a laminar flow of liquid. It is noted that multiple hydraulic cumulative shocks arising from the collapse of cavitation bubbles should separate soil impurities from root crops, which will significantly reduce the time and energy consumption during post-harvest processing of vegetable crops.

ILLUSTRATION OF PARTY UNITY IN THE MAGAZINE "CROCODILE" IN THE CONTEXT OF THE STRUGGLE FOR POWER IN THE MID-20S
Authors:   Russian State University for the Humanities, Yurganov Andrey L.
Published: December 2020

The article analyzes the communicative connection between the internal political struggle in VKP(b) and the satirical magazine “Crocodile” (a supplement to “Rabochaya Gazeta”), which was published in mass circulation. Usually the Crocodile illustrations did not depict the real motives of the political struggle; their task was to show the rejection of any party opposition as such. But in the December 1925 issue of “The Crocodile” (No. 47), the front page of the magazine suddenly displays an image in which all the party leaders are busy with general construction, and no matter how much you look at the picture – you will not find the main leader in it. Such was a political order. The article analyzes the reasons for the possibility of an appearance of an obviously ideological drawing in a satirical journal – with an attempt, approved at the very top of the political power – to portray exactly the “unity of the party”, and not a split that was about to happen ahead of the XIV Congress of the party, about which many Bolsheviks were speaking openly.

Background:Smoke-free policies in school established to protect and reduce young students' smoking rates from cigarette smoke's harmfulness. This research to describe implementation of smoke-free policies in school and determine factors influencing the policy's implementation. Method: Qualitative research design and descriptive. Informants determined use purposive sampling. Subjects research were headmaster, student vice headmaster, counseling teachers, homeroom teachers, employees, and students. Technique data collection were observation, interviews, and documentation. Validity data was checked with triangulation technique. Qualitative data analysis used an interactive model based on theory of George C. Edward III, which consists of communication, resources, dispositions, and bureaucratic structures. Result: Smoke-free policies in school hasn’t been implemented optimally, especially in the resource. There are some teachers and employees who still smoke. There isn’t specific budget for the implementation of the smoke-free policies. Billboards facilities with no smoking or smoke-free area are still limited. Supporting factor is communication; smoke-free area policy always communicated to school residents. Disposition factor; there is commitment of policy implementers. Bureaucratic structure factor; there is SOP's existence in implementing the policies. Conclusion: Implementation of smoke-free policies in school has not been maximized, so it needs to be supported by all factors, both communication factors, resource factors, disposition factors, and bureaucratic factors.

Bu çalışma, 2018 yılında Kahramanmaraş’ın Göksun ilçesinde (bağın rakımı: 1420 m) gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırmada, Kabarcık, Kirkit ve Yalova İncisi sofralık üzüm çeşitleri incelenmiştir. Çeşitlerin fenolojik özelliklerinin yanında, salkım ve tane özellikleri ölçülmüştür. İncelenen çeşitler arasında en erken, Yalova İncisi çeşidi olgunlaşmıştır. Uyanmadan olgunlaşmaya kadar geçen en kısa süre, Yalova İncisi’nde gerçekleşmiştir (138 gün). Çeşitler nisan sonunda uyanmış ve haziran ortasında çiçeklenmiştir. Yalova İncisi’nin hasat edildiği 5 Eylül 2018 tarihinde tanelerde %18.8 SÇKM ve %0.52 asit tespit edilmiştir. Yerel çeşitlerden Kirkit, ekim ayı başında olgunlaşmıştır. Bu çeşitte %22.8 SÇKM ve %0.56 asitlik belirlenmiş ve olgunluk indisi 34.03 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Fakat Kabarcık bu tarihte tam olarak olgunlaşamamış ve tanelerde %13.1 SÇKM belirlenmiş ve çeşidin bu tarihteki olgunluk indisi 14.24 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Bu zamanda yörede don olaylarının meydana gelmesi nedeniyle, Kabarcık çeşidi erken hasat edilmek zorunda kalınmıştır. En büyük salkımlar Kabarcık’ta (583.99 g), en iri taneler ise Yalova İncisi’nde (4.85 g) saptanmıştır. Tane eti sertliği bakımında Kirkit ( 2.91 N) diğerlerine göre daha sert, tanenin saptan kopma kuvveti ise Kabarcık (1.88 N) çeşidinde daha kuvvetli bulunmuştur. en fazla çekirdek Kabarcık çeşidinde (3.2 adet tane-1) saptanmıştır. İncelenen çeşitlerden Yalova İncisi ve Kirkit’in yöre için uygun olduğu fakat Kabarcık çeşidinin yöre de yetiştiriciliğinin sonbahardaki erken donlar nedeniyle riskli olduğu saptanmıştır. Yörede, diğer erkenci ve çok erkenci üzüm çeşitlerinin adaptasyon çalışmalarının yapılmasında fayda vardır.

Plant molecular pharming is a promising system for cost-effective production of veterinary vaccines
Authors: MAMEDOV Tarlan , GULEC Burcu , MAMMADOVA Gulshan
Published: December 2020

Vaccination of animals has been used for centuries and is generally considered the most cost-effective and sustainable method of disease control and prevention. About twenty-five years ago, vaccines were in a inactive form or live attenuated organisms and often were not very effective. Advances in molecular biology and biotechnology have made it possible to develop new vaccines and therapeutic targes. Plant expression system has been demonstrated to be a promising platform for production of a variety of recombinant proteins such as vaccines, antibodies, therapeutic proteins, human and industrial enzymes, toxins etc. for health, agricultural and industrial applications. Although plant produced products are already available and licensed for human use, however, there are currently no plant-based vaccines on the market for animal use other than the Newcastle poultry vaccine. This is probably explained by relatively high cost of plant produced recombinant protein based vaccines for animal use. Therefore, the development of inexpensive and affordable plant-based vaccines and their formulation is very important for the production of economical animal vaccines. In this review, (1) different expression systems, (2) the history of plant-based expression systems, (3) different types of vaccines, and(4) plant-based animal vaccine production in plants are discussed. We also discussed the advantages of plants in the development of veterinary vaccines and new developed strategies that can lead to the production of cost-effective, stable and highly immunogenic veterinary vaccines.
El reconocimiento a la docencia universitaria: la visión del Estado, del mismo profesor y de la sociedad
Authors: Benavides Martí­nez Benigno
Published: December 2020

El presente estudio aborda el problema del reconocimiento de la docencia universitaria a través de la reflexión teórica acerca de la ética del reconocimiento y de la sociologí­a. La base empí­rica se obtuvo de datos recolectados mediante encuestas a profesores de universidades públicas y privadas de Monterrey, México. El análisis contrasta las diversas funciones que debe cumplir el profesor universitario, enfocándose en la diferenciación provocada al tener que actuar como investigador y como docente, como si fueran tareas equivalentes. Debido a que a la investigación se le confiriere mayor estatus, la docencia ocupa un lugar secundario, lo cual fundamenta la idea de que ésta carece del reconocimiento social necesario para constituir la identidad profesional del profesor universitario, y, con base en ello, se problematiza su compromiso con las polí­ticas gubernamentales. Los hallazgos muestran que los profesores valoran la función que desempeñan como docentes, integrando su identidad en torno a esta función además de sentirse reconocidos por los demás; pero, por otro lado, se sienten escasamente reconocidos por el Estado. La interpretación sugiere la necesidad de reconocimiento para el desempeño ético de la profesión.
Formatividad y producción en las estéticas de Luigi Pareyson y Gianni Vattimo
Authors: Uribe Miranda Luis
Published: December 2020

Los conceptos de formatividad y producción caracterizan las estéticas de Luigi Pareyson y Gianni Vattimo, respectivamente, y forman parte del proceso de renovación de la estética italiana a partir de la segunda mitad del siglo pasado. El énfasis en la formatividad y la producción, permite a los autores afirmar el carácter filosófico de la estética cuya teoría se nutre de la materia prima proporsionada por las experiencias artísticas concretas. A partir del análisis de los textos originales, primero de Pareyson y después de Vattimo, se muestra el carácter ontológico de la estética. El texto de Gianni Vattimo de 1961, Il concetto di fare in Aristotele, es la base para afirmar la tesis según la cual la estética posee una vocación ontológia, anticipando lo expresado por el mismo Vattimo en Ontologia e poesia, de 1967, aspecto hace patente el confronto con Luigi Pareyson.
Neuropsychiatric Symptoms and Antipsychotic Therapy in the Elderly Patients with Dementia
Authors: Kolykhalov I. V.
Published: December 2020

The objective of the study was to investigate syndromal-nosological specificities of neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPS) and the frequency of use of antipsychotics in patients with various types of dementias, institutionalized to geriatric units of mental hospitals.

Patients and methods: a total of 106 in-patients of three psychogeriatric units were examined. The median age of patients is 75 years [69; 80].The diagnostic distribution of patients at the time of the examination was as follows: in 33 subjects (31.1%) Alzheimer’s disease (AD) was diagnosed, in 25 (23.6%) - mixed dementia (MD), in 32 (30.2%) - vascular dementia (VD) and in 16 (15.1%) patients had dementia of complex origin (DCO).

Results: a high incidence (54.7%) of NPS was found in patients with dementia of various origins. The greatest number of patients with behavioral and psychotic symptoms was found in AD and MD. The proportion of dementia patients with such disorders in each of these types of dementia is about 70%, while in CGD and VD, the proportion of patients with NPS is noticeably smaller (30% and 40%, respectively). For the treatment of NPS, antipsychotics were most often prescribed, but their use caused adverse events (AEs) in 1/3 of cases. Patients with VD are most susceptible to the development of AE, and AD patients are the least susceptible.

Conclusion: the study showed that NPS are one of the important components of dementia, regardless of the nosology and stage of the disease. The treatment of NPS in dementia is particularly challenging because, although the symptoms cause significant distress, there are currently no effective alternative therapies. The risk of AE can be minimized by carefully considering the indications for prescribing antipsychotics and their short-term use, regular monitoring of the patient’s condition, and educating caregivers.

Authors: Popov M. M. , Kolyago O. O.
Published: December 2020

Objective: the article presents the results of a study of the neuropsychological profile of cognitive functions in patients with endogenous depression, in the structure of which overvalued formations are revealed. The study of cognitive processes in patients with such disorders will help determine prognostic criteria and contribute to the development of optimal recommendations for personalized therapy of these conditions.

The aim of the studywas to determine the characteristics of cognitive functioning and its dynamics in patients with endogenous depression with overvalued formations.

Patients and methods: using clinical-psychometric, neuropsychological, pathopsychological methods, 45 patients were examined. 26 men (average age 28.7 ± 7.3) and 19 women (average age 34 ± 8.6) had a manifest or repeated depressive state within the framework of an affective disease (F31-34 according to ICD-10) with the phenomenon of overvalued formations. The control group was represented by a similar in number, comparable in terms of sex and age group of patients (45 patients) with a depressive state that forms within the affective phase (F31-34 according to ICD-10), without overvalued formations.

Results: in the course of the work, differences were found in the structure of the neurocognitive deficit of endogenous depression with overvalued formations from that of depressions without the phenomenon of overvalued formations. As a result of neuropsychological screening of patients in the group of endogenous depressions with overvalued formations, data were obtained on dysfunction of the anterior sections of the predominantly left hemisphere and related regulatory deficiency. Conclusions: patients with endogenous depressions occurring with a predominance of overvalued formations in the clinical, a neurocognitive deficiency of the regulatory domain is characteristic, which is different from that in depressions without the phenomenon of overvalued formations.
Old Age Dementias: Factors Associated with Dementia Progression Rate. Part 2
Authors: Mikhaylova N. M.
Published: December 2020

Background: steady progression of dementia is characterized with various rates, which specified clinical differentiation of dementias with rapid and slow increase of cognitive decline severity. The search for clinical factors, hypothetically responsible for differences in late age dementia progression rate, is one of the aspects of investigation of late age dementias.

The objectivewas to generalize the results of the study of separate clinical factors effect on the differences in the late age dementia progression rate.

Material and methods: papers in MEDLINE/PubMed bases from 1990 to 2020 were selected and analyzed according to the key words: “late age”, “dementia”, “progression rate”, “age of onset”, “non-cognitive disorders”, “nosomodifying therapy”, as well as relevant papers in the literature of the analyzed works.

Conclusion: various parameters of the disease were studied as associated with dementia progression pattern. As regards part of them the results achieved compliance in recognition of association with dementia progression rate. As for the others this evidence is ambiguous. There are large discrepancies in attitudes to gender differences, while early age of disease onset, initially great intensity of neuropsychiatric disorders are concordantly admitted as associated with dementia rapid progression. The researchers are united with steady idea of nonlinear character of dementia progression at the stages of mild, moderate and severe dementia.

The resultsof study of comorbidity are basically similar with regard to recognition of SFD influence, first of all, of arterial hypertension on dementia progression rate. The evidence of the efficacy of nosomodifying therapy, decelerating dementia progression, is unanimously considered an urgent problem. The development of new dementia pathogenesis concepts and the search for new therapy targets, are conducive to the solution of this problem. The results of the investigated direction of studies confirm the hypothesis of the fact that dementia progression occurs according to various pathogenetic mechanisms, which determine the dementia increasing rate. The management of patients with dementia in practice presupposes taking into account of various factors, influencing dementia progression rate, for planning of the volume and character of medical care.
Peltaesubacquee e specchiature marmoree La forma dell’acqua tra storia dell’arte e filosofia

This paper focuses on two canonical representations of water in 12th-century Venetian churches: (i) the so-called ‘peltaepattern’, usually defined as ‘geometric decoration’ and recognized as the symbol of water; and (ii) the ‘marble slab’, usually included among non-iconic decorations and recognized asil mare. Why did the medieval masters represent the same natural element in the same type of location in these two different ways? Our hypothesis is that (i) represented the turbulent water of terrestrial life, while (ii) represented heavenly water. We argue that support for both claims can be found by retracing the sources of the two decorative models and looking at them from an art historical point of view, and by analyzing them from a philosophical and perceptological standpoint in order to retrieve universal perceptual patterns that can sustain the iconological reading.
A six-channel microstrip diplexer for multi-service wireless communication systems
Authors: Fouladi Farhad , Rezaei Abbas
Published: December 2020

In this paper, a six-channel microstrip diplexer is designed and fabricated. It operates at 0.75/0.85/1/1.25/1.6/1.8 GHz for multi-service wireless communication systems. It consists of two stub-loaded resonators, which are integrated by coupled lines. The channels are close together, which makes the proposed diplexer suitable for frequency division duplex (FDD) schemes. The proposed structure has a compact size of 0.025 λg2 where λg is the guided wavelength calculated at 0.75 GHz. The other advantages of the introduced multi-channel diplexer are the low insertion losses of 1.62/1.27/0.43/0.53/1.26 and 1 dB, as well as good return losses of 26/26/25/25/21.7 and 22 dB at 0.75/0.85/1/1.25/1.6/1.8 GHz respectively. A good isolation of less than 22 dB is obtained between the channels. In order to design the presented diplexer a designing technique is used which is based on the proposing of an equivalent approximated LC model and calculating the inductors and capacitors. To confirm the simulation results, the introduced diplexer is fabricated and measured.

The combination of bedding substrate and nesting material within the microenvironment of mice is an important consideration for animal care programs in regard to optimizing animal wellbeing. We used 3 general or breeding mouse colonies in our institution to evaluate the effects of bedding
substrate on nest building, breeding performance, and recognition of animal health concerns. A scoring system was developed to assess the incorporation of bedding into the nest cup base and walls (nest base incorporation, NBI) in a controlled study with mice bedded on either compressed paper
(CP) or corncob (CC) bedding. Compared with CC cages, CP cages had higher NBI scores. To determine the influence of bedding type on the recognition of animal health concerns in an animal facility, cages bedded with CC followed by CP were evaluated for the overall frequency of health-concern
reports during a 2-mo time frame for each bedding type in a single-subject A-B study design. The frequency of animal health-concern reports was similar in cages using CC or CP bedding. The animal health condition, rather than bedding type, was associated with the severity of the health problem
at the initial report. Breeding performance was compared for 6 mo in matched CC and CP cages containing one of 13 genetically modified mouse lines. NBI scores were higher for breeders housed on CP compared with CC bedding. Monogamous breeder pairs housed on CP had significantly higher indexes
of breeding performance (measured as the number of pups per dam per week on study) than did CC cages. This report supports the use of CP bedding in the mouse microenvironment to improve general wellbeing by supporting nesting behavior and reproductive performance without hindering the detection
of animal health concerns.

Bitumen and interlocking paving blocks are the common materials used in the construction of flexible road pavements in Malaysia and other developing countries. In the last few years, more focus has been paid on the interlocking paving block when dealing with less durable area because of certain environmental and organizational limitations. Nonetheless, cement has been used as a bonding agent in the conventional concrete interlocking paving block (CIPB) and has a detrimental effect on the environment. This research was therefore conducted to examine the alternative material to paving block by substituting cement content with plastic wastes; so called as an Eco-interlocking paving block (Eco-IPB). The aim of this research was to produce a sustainable, lightweight, stiff and cost-effective product. In this research, the Eco-IPB was prepared in four different LDPE/sand blends of 1:1, 1:2, 1:3 and 1:4. The thermal analysis and physical tests were conducted to determine the temperature effect and physical performance of plastic bags. The performance of Eco-IPB was evaluated with regard to the density measurement, water absorption and compression test. The findings showed that the optimum LDPE/sand ratio of Eco-IPB of LDPE was 1:2 based on the high compressive strength of 20.80 MPa which had been achieved. Moreover, the widespread use of plastic waste as an alternative construction material will help to reduce plastic residues and promote green technology.

The problem of arbitrary excitation of waves by a system of external sources near an anisotropic metasurface in the form of an elliptical cylinder with a surface homogenized impedance tensor of general form is solved. The solution to the problem is written as a superposition of E- and H-waves in elliptical coordinates. The partial reflection coefficients of waves were found from the boundary conditions using the orthogonality of the Mathieu angular functions. For these coefficients, four coupled infinite systems of linear algebraic equations of the second kind are obtained. The conditions under which the solution of the excitation problem by the method of eigenfunctions is obtained in an explicit form are found and analyzed. It is shown that for this, the surface impedance tensor of a uniform metasurface must belong to a class of deviators (have zero diagonal elements). In the particular case of a mutual (most easily realized) metasurface, its impedance tensor should only be reactance. In another special case, the impedance tensor of a set of deviators describes a class of anisotropic nonreciprocal metasurfaces with the so-called perfect electromagnetic conductivity (PEMC).
