Framing Inequity in Health Technology: The Digital Divide, Data Bias, and Racialization
Authors: Ferryman Kadija
Published: January 2022

" Since 2010, there has been an exponential growth in health data and health information technologies, such as electronic health records (EHRs), and AI-enabled medical tools. Despite the growth and investment in these technologies, they have had few positive effects on health outcomes, especially for marginalized populations. This review begins by addressing common rhetorical and ethical responses to inequities in health technologies, such as the digital divide and data bias frames. It then problematizes both approaches before proposing that examining racialization, or the creation and circulation of racial hierarchies, can contribute to a more comprehensive framework for facilitating health equity in health information technology."
Examining Violence and Black Grief on Social Media: An Interview with Desmond Upton Patton
Authors: Patton Desmond , Vallejo Catalina
Published: January 2022

As part of our “What Is Just Tech?” series, we invited several social researchers—scholars, practitioners, artists, and activists—to respond to a simple yet fundamental question: “What is just technology?” This interview was conducted by Just Tech program officer Catalina Vallejo, who spoke with Desmond Upton Patton, Professor of Social Work at Columbia University and Just Tech Advisory Board member. Patton (he/him) studies how gang-involved youth conceptualize threats on social media and the extent to which social media may shape or facilitate youth and gang violence. He is the founding director of SAFElab, which centers young people’s perspectives in computational and social work research on violence, trains future social work scholars, and actively engages in violence prevention and intervention. In their conversation, Vallejo and Patton spoke about social media as an amplifier of violence, the importance of lived experience informing computational research, and misunderstandings about Black grief.

Negritude, Identidade e Dança
Authors: Chaves Elisângela
Published: January 2022

O presente artigo trata-se de um ensaio que busca articular negritude, identidade e dança como elementos constituintes e propulsores de práticas emancipadoras no âmbito da educação social e do lazer. O intuito foi explicitar a potencialidade que o ensino de danças de matriz afrodiaspórica têm ao serem abordadas em projetos educacionais socioculturais como mecanismo de empoderamento, valorização e identidade cultural junto a comunidades periféricas, em situação de vulnerabilidade social e cujos membros, em sua maioria, são negros. O ensino de dança em projetos socioculturais cresceu de forma vertiginosa nos últimos vinte anos no Brasil. Há uma evidente carência de dados para uma análise desse fato, o que dificulta a percepção da ampliação, da diversificação e do fortalecimento dessas alternativas de espaço para ensino/aprendizagem de danças que possibilitam tecnologias de resistência, sobrevivência e transformação na luta antirracista.

Prospects of Studying Smolensk People’s Feat in World War I
with Reference to the Restoration of the Monument
to the Heros of World War I in Vyazma
Authors: Komarov Dmitriy
Published: January 2022

With reference to the reconstruction of the monument in Vyazma to the heroes of World War I, the article considers the possibility of studying the participation of the natives lived in Smolensk Governorate in the events of World War I. The article shows what prospects are created for the study of the history of the Smolensk region and its individual regions during World War according to digitized documents and memoirs about World War I, that are posted in the public domain on the Internet.

The article shows the history of individual military units. The author reconstructs the events associated with the participation of the XIII Army Corps in the East Prussian operation. It has been proved that a significant part of this corps was made up of the lower ranks called up from the territory of Smolensk

Governorate as a result of mobilization. The study determines the reasons that had a negative impact on the combat characteristics of the corps. The article describes circumstances of the defeat of the XIII Army Corps. The author of the article draws examples of courage and heroism shown by individual units and

servicemen, natives of the Smolensk region. The study determines a number of those drafted into the Russian army from the territory of Smolensk Governorate

and makes an attempt to establish an approximate number of Smolensk people died at the fronts and from wounds in the rear. Moreover, the author indicates possible prospects for studying Smolensk people’s participation in World War I.
Individual Style as a System of Correlations of Multilevel Characteristics
Authors: Andreev Vadim
Published: January 2022

The article investigates system relations in individual style, which is viewed as a set of specific features of linguistic means typical for a certain author. The attention is focused on the authorial metaphor occupying the central position in linguistic research, especially in cognitive linguistics. The paper deals with the analysis of metaphor in the individual style of H. Lonfellow, a famous American romantic poet. The goal of the analysis is to establish the parameters of the author’s cognition, to single out statistically relevant tendencies in the creation of the text imagery reflecting similarities and differences

between the elements of mental picture of the world. Correlation analysis (Cole co-efficient) of multiaspect metaphor features has made it possible to reveal interdependence between semantic characteristics of lexis representing target and source

domain with localization of these lexical units in verse line.

As a result, we have found a number of statistically relevant interrelations, unexpected in accordance with common logic. These interrelations shed light on not evident tendencies in the structure of the authorial metaphor from the point of view

of (a) structural and semantic characteristics of target and source domains and (b) structural parameters of target domain, on the one hand, and source domain, on the other hand. The obtained data can become the basis for the algorithm to model an

authorial style, namely its most complicated aspect – imagery and its localization in the verse text.
The Analysis of the Image-Metaphor Semantic Field Structure
in R. Bradbury’s Novel «Fahrenheit 451»
Authors: Silnitsky Anton , Dedova Natalya
Published: January 2022

This article is devoted to identification of the image-metaphor semantic field in R. Bradbury’s anti-utopian novel «Fahrenheit 451». The reserch applies cluster analysis aimed at the classification of multi-level features that are identi-

fied by qualitative methods within the framework of a single classification scheme. Firstly, we distinguished a list of semantic features, organized within five semantic plans: «categorical» (substantive, verbal, adverbial, adjective features), «anthropological» (anthropo-somatic, anthropo-mental features), «social» (socio-personal, socio-non-personal features), «naturalistic» (natural-biogenic, natural-abiogenic features) and «ontological» (onto-material, onto-non-material features). These semantic features are independently defined according to the di-

rect and figurative subject of image-metaphors. Then, with the help of the cluster analysis, we are able to group all the previously identified semantic features into clusters and select the corresponding typical metaphors
Imperial Power Representation and Self-presentation of Charles V of Habsburg
Authors: Ivonin Yuriy
Published: January 2022

The power representation was an important indicator of the political culture of the Early Modern Era. It required grandeur with solemnity and festivities. An important role in the policy of any state is played by the image that can influence the assessment of its power and wealth. Empire. He applied the experience of ancient Rome in the form of triumphs and

other mass spectacles. This phenomenon appears during the reign of Emperor

Maximilian I and Pope Julius II. The Emperor gained experience in creating tri-

umphs as the Habsburg dynasty’s sphere of influence expanded in Europe. Triumphs were organized in Spain and then in Italy. And obviously, these actions helped the Emperor to impress both opponents and allies. The Emperor promoted himself as a victorious commander and ruler. Power representation also manifested itself in a large number of portraits of

European rulers, including Charles V, painted by great artists, among whom Titian Vecellio stood out in particular. Besides, during the Reformation, a significant number of reformers’ portraits were painted by the apologists of Lutheranism. But the most striking episode of the representation of that time was viewed in the triumph of Charles V during the entry of both the Emperor’s supporters and the Lutheran leaders into the city of Augsburg before the Diet of Augsburg in 1530.

This tendency was very clearly manifested in the 16th century in the policy of Emperor Charles V of Habsburg, who sought to create a universal Catholic
Writings from the Grotesque World: «Julio Jurenito» by Ilya Ehrenburg and «The Naked Year» by Boris Pilnyak
Authors: Minaeva Olga
Published: January 2022

In the article we focus on grotesque nature of Ilya Ehrenburg’s and Boris

Pilnyak’s creative prose, viz. «Julio Jurenito» and «The Naked Year». These nov-

els were written almost at the same time. They share commonality in issues and

style. We compare these novels to trace how the both writers use grotesques in

their works about Russian Revolution.

Despite both Ehrenburg and Pilnyak sharing one technique, they realize

it in a quite different manner. Ilya Ehrenburg finds grotesque in every human

being. Thus, the world, where people live, act and communicate, can be nothing

more but an inevitable and everlasting carnival where everybody takes part, will-

ingly or unwillingly but without any chance for escape. A solid, «classic» world

is just a mirage.

On the contrary, Pilnyak casts his protagonists into a world with clear

distinctions – physical, territorial, moral, etc. For some period of time, chaos does

override cosmos, forcing protagonists to find themselves in the middle of a very

grotesque situation. However, the prevalence of grotesque is somewhat transi-

tional while the cosmos is perennial.

Writers with a modernist background typically use grotesque when they

set their plot in the age of Russian Revolution. But at the same time, there is an

essential junction when they recognize grotesque in a human personality or in

situations how people live and act.
Optical properties of inorganic powder EL device with a multifunctional dielectric layer
Authors: Nonaka Toshihiro , Ban Takahiko , Yamamoto Shin-Ichi
Published: January 2022

In this paper, we report the optical properties of an inorganic powder electroluminescence (EL) device with a multifunctional dielectric layer. BaTiO3 doped with Yb3+ and Er3+ was used as a dielectric layer of an inorganic powder EL device. Also, BaTiO3 doped with Yb3+ and Er3+ can function as an upconversion phosphor. According to the luminance measurement, when near infrared (NIR) irradiation with 980 nm wavelengths was applied, the luminance was increased by only about 90 cd m−2. However, when both NIR irradiation and 150 root mean square voltages were applied, the luminance increased by about 400 cd m−2. Additionally, the emission spectrum and the chromaticity were changed. Therefore, BaTiO3: Yb3+, Er3+ plays two roles as a dielectric and phosphor simultaneously. The optical properties can also be manipulated by using BaTiO3: Yb3+, Er3+ as a dielectric layer of an inorganic powder EL device.

Authors: Akamatsu Takumi , Mozumi Michiya , Omura Masaaki , Nagaoka Ryo , Hasegawa Hideyuki
Published: January 2022

Minimum variance (MV) beamformers have been introduced in medical ultrasound imaging to improve image quality. In most cases, the MV beamformers have been investigated in terms of resolution improvement. However, the contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) is also a clinically important metrics and gathers attention recently. In this study, we examined the diagonal loading parameter σ in MV beamforming and determined its appropriate value by evaluating image quality evaluation metrics including CNR. In order to further improve the image quality, a method for determining the value of σ based on the difference in statistical properties of received ultrasonic echo signals was also investigated. The phantom experimental results showed that the proposed method achieved a better CNR than the conventional MV beamformer while keeping resolution significantly better than that in delay-and-sum beamforming.

BŪSIMŲJŲ SVEIKATOS PRIEŽIŪROS SPECIALISTŲ POŽIŪRIS Į ŽMOGAUS PAPILOMOS VIRUSĄ IR VAKCINĄ NUO ŠIO VIRUSO
Authors: Banaitytė Dovilė , Jauraitė Erika , Kaselienė Snieguolė
Published: January 2022

Lietuvoje kasmet užregistruojama apie 450 naujų gim­dos kaklelio vėžio atvejų. Moksliniais tyrimais įrodyta, jog žmogaus papilomos virusas (ŽPV) yra svarbus veiksnys gimdos kaklelio vėžio patogenezėje, todėl susirgimų skaičių galima sumažinti pasitelkus vakciną nuo šio viruso. Medi­cinos darbuotojai užima svarbią vietą gyventojų švietime ir gali prisidėti prie vakcinacijos apimčių didinimo, tačiau vis dar trūksta išsamių tyrimų, kurie vertintų būsimųjų sveikatos priežiūros specialistų žinias apie ŽPV ir požiūrį į vakciną nuo ŽPV.

Tyrimo tikslas – išsiaiškinti Lietuvos sveikatos mokslų universiteto (LSMU) Medicinos ir Slaugos fakultetų studentų informuotumą bei požiūrį į ŽPV ir vakciną nuo šio viruso.

Tyrimo medžiaga ir metodai. Anoniminės anketinės apklausos būdu apklausti 278 LSMU Medicinos fakulteto studentai ir 58 Slaugos fakulteto studentai. Apklausa buvo vykdoma nuo 2020 m. vasario iki 2021 m. vasario mėnesio. Statistinė duomenų analizė atlikta naudojant IBM SPSS 26.0 versiją. Sąsajoms nustatyti taikytas chi kvadrato (χ2) kriteri­jus bei porinis palyginimas z testu. Tyrimo rezultatai laikyti statistiškai reikšmingais, kai p<0,05.

Rezultatai. LSMU Medicinos ir Slaugos fakultetų stu­dentai teisingai nurodė šiuos galimus ŽPV plitimo būdus: 94,3 proc. – lytinių santykių metu, 21,8 proc. – vertikalusis būdas, 35,7 proc. – kontaktinis būdas. Net 93,2 proc. žinojo, kad ŽPV gali sukelti gimdos kaklelio vėžį, tačiau varpos vėžį ir paprastąsias karpas teisingai pasirinko atitinkamai tik 35,1 proc. bei 23,3 proc. respondentų. Apie tai, jog yra sukurta vakcina nuo ŽPV, žino 86,6 proc. studentų. Daugiau nei pusė (54,2 proc.) apklaustųjų teisingai nurodė, jog vakcina nuo ŽPV gali skiepytis tiek moterys, tiek vyrai, o 58,2 proc. žinojo, jog patariama skiepytis iki pirmųjų lytinių santykių. Daugiau nei 70 proc. tiriamųjų nurodė, jog jiems trūksta informacijos apie ŽPV ir vakciną nuo ŽPV, todėl norėtų sužinoti daugiau. Tik 11,6 proc. apklaustųjų yra pasiskiepiję vakcina nuo ŽPV, o ateityje skiepytis planuoja 22,7 proc. iki šiol nepasiskiepijusių vyrų ir 39,4 proc. moterų. 78 proc. studentų skiepytų savo vaikus vakcina nuo ŽPV, tai labiau linkę daryti vyriškos lyties bei vyresniųjų kursų (IV–VI) studentai (p<0,05). Vyresniųjų kursų (IV–VI) studentai buvo geriau informuoti apie ŽPV ir vakciną nuo ŽPV, jų požiūris į vakciną buvo palankesnis.

Išvados. Nors LSMU Medicinos ir Slaugos fakultetų studentai turi pagrindinę informaciją apie ŽPV ir vakciną nuo ŽPV, tačiau žinių kiekis yra nepakankamas. Didžioji dalis apklaustųjų nurodė, jog norėtų gauti daugiau informacijos.
OFTALMOMIAZĖ: PAPLITIMAS, EIGA, DIAGNOSTIKA IR GYDYMAS
Authors: Rašinskaitė Indrė , Strupaitė-Šileikienė Rasa , Ašoklis Rimvydas Stanislovas
Published: January 2022

Įvadas. Oftalmomiazė arba akių miazė yra reta infekcinė akių liga, kurią sukelia dvisparnės (diptera) musių lervos. Dažniausias sukėlėjas yra O.ovis musių rūšis, paplitusi tropinėse, subtropinėse vietose ir Viduržemio jūros re­gione. Išskiriamos trys oftalmomiazės formos: išorinė, vidinė ir akiduobės. Simptomų sunkumas varijuoja nuo lengvo akies sudirginimo iki visiškos akies audinių des­trukcijos. Ligos diagnostika remiasi lervos identifikacija akyje ar aplinkiniuose audiniuose. Organizmų pašalini­mas iš akies yra pagrindinis gydymo būdas. Specifinio medikamentinio gydymo nėra, skiriama antimikrobinė ir uždegimo slopinamoji terapija, kai kuriais atvejais − antihelmintiniai vaistai. Visuotinis klimato atšilimas ir intensyvus žmonių turizmas didina šios infekcijos tiki­mybę Lietuvoje.

Tikslas − apžvelgti literatūros duomenis apie oftalmomia­zės epidemiologiją, etiologiją, diagnostikos ir gydymo būdus ir supažindinti įvairių specialybių gydytojus su šia liga.

Metodai. Publikacijų paieška atlikta PubMed, UpTo­Date, MedScape medicininėse duomenų bazėse. Atrinkti straipsniai, kuriuose buvo aprašyti klinikiniai atvejai arba klinikinių atvejų serijos oftalmomiazės tema. Nagrinėti straipsniai nuo 1980 iki 2021 metų.

Išvados. Gydytojai turėtų būti susipažinę su infekcine oftalmomiazės liga, kadangi ji sutinkama ne tik tropi­niuose regionuose, bet ir Europos valstybėse, o aktyvus žmonių turizmas didina atvejų tikimybę Lietuvoje. Oftal­momiazė yra reta liga, neretai klaidingai diagnozuojama kaip alerginis ar virusinis konjunktyvitas, akies miežis, todėl itin svarbus kruopštus anamnezės surinkimas ir oftalmologinis ištyrimas, kad būtų laiku pradėtas gydy­mas. Išorinės oftalmomiazės gydymas yra nesudėtingas, o ligos baigtis gera. Akiduobės oftalmomiazė yra greitai progresuojanti destrukcinė akies parazitozė, todėl laiku atliktas organizmų pašalinimas apsaugo akį ir aplinkinius audinius nuo pažeidimo. Rekomenduojama pakartotinė paciento apžiūra, siekiant patikslinti, ar liga nemanifes­tuoja ir nėra papildomų komplikacijų.
KLUBO SĄNARIŲ PAVIRŠIŲ ATNAUJINIMO OPERACIJA: INDIKACIJOS, KONTRAINDIKACIJOS, REZULTATAI IR KOMPLIKACIJOS

Published: January 2022

Sąnarinių paviršių atnaujinimo operacijos atliekamos esant artrozės pažeistam klubo sąnariui. Ši artroplastikos procedūra skiriasi nuo įprastinio klubo sąnario proteza­vimo, nes išsaugoma sąnario kaulinė struktūra ir anato­mija: paliekamas šlaunikaulio kaklas, pritaikomi kompo­nentai pagal įgimtus sąnario paviršiaus diametrus, todėl nepakinta kojos ilgis ir biomechanika. Manoma, jog taip geriau atkuriama sąnario funkcija, lyginant su įprastiniu endoprotezavimu. Pacientai greitai grįžta į aktyvią veiklą, net profesionalųjį sportą. Ši pažangi operacija netapo pir­maeiliu klubo sąnario artrozės chirurginio gydymo būdu dėl ribotų indikacijų, išskirtinų komplikacijų ir poopera­cinių rezultatų. Dėl operacijos technikos ir protezo savy­bių operacija gali komplikuotis šlaunikaulio kaklo lūžiu ar aplinkinių audinių pseudotumoru, kuris formuojasi dėl aplinkinių minkštųjų audinių reakcijos į metalo jonus, susidarančius trinantis metaliniams komponentų pavir­šiams. Šios komplikacijos dažnesnės vyresnio amžiaus pacientams, ypač moterims. Paviršių atnaujinimo ope­racija indikuotina tik jauniems, aktyviems vyrams, kurių gera kaulo kokybė. Ši operacija turi konkrečią šiandieni­nio chirurginio klubo sąnario artrozės gydymo poziciją.
FIBRINOGENO KONCENTRATO PANAUDOJIMAS DAUGINĘ TRAUMĄ PATYRUSIEMS PACIENTAMS
Authors: Barzdaitė Justina , Skrabytė Karolina , Gelmanas Arūnas
Published: January 2022

Tikslas − apžvelgti fibrinogeno koncentrato panaudojimą dauginę traumą patyrusiems pacientams, remiantis pu­blikuotais moksliniais šaltiniais.

Nustatyta, kad Europoje dažniausiai dauginių traumų pa­tiriama eismo įvykiuose [6]. Šių įvykių metu pagrindinė mirties priežastis − nekontroliuojamas kraujavimas. Tai viena iš išvengiamų mirties priežasčių, kai laiku skiriama kraujavimo kontrolė, siekiant palaikyti optimalią audinių perfuziją [4]. Viena iš pagrindinių kraujavimo stabdymą sutrikdančių ir pacientų išgyvenamumo prognozę blogi­nančių priežasčių yra ūminė koaguliopatija [5]. Traumos sukeltos koaguliopatijos korekcija, skiriant alogeninius kraujo produktus ir taip kompensuojant trūkstamus kre­šėjimo komponentus, yra vienas iš esminių tikslų, gy­dant daugines traumas patyrusius pacientus [1]. Tyrimų rezultatai parodė, kad fibrinogenas yra pagrindinis kre­šėjimo faktorius, reikalingas kraujavimo stabdymui bei pirmasis, kurio koncentracija ryškiai sumažėja krauja­vimo metu [2]. Mokslininkų teigimu, ankstyvas fibrino­geno koncentrato panaudojimas pacientams, patyrusiems daugines traumas ir dėl to netekusiems daug kraujo, gali sumažinti mirties riziką bei pagerinti baigtį [2]. Tyrimai rodo, kad fibrinogeno koncentrato panaudojimas suke­lia trumpalaikį (<6 val.) krešėjimo faktorių padidėjimą, todėl koncentrato naudojimas nesukelia didesnės trom­bogenezės rizikos ir yra saugus naudoti [2].

Published: January 2022

Learning style preferences includes Visual (V; learning from diagrams), Auditory (A; learning from hearing) and
Kinesthetic (K; learning from doing). Present study examines the effect of conventional teaching on the academic
performance of first year undergraduate dental students with distinct learning style preferences. Learning style
preferences and academic performance of 98 Dental students were determined using VAK questionnaire and average
marks of scored by each student in the academic year respectively. Learning style preferences of students were 18%
visual (V),19% aural (A),13 % kinesthetic (K),10% Visual Aural (VA),6% Aural Kinesthetic (AK),13% Visual Kinesthetic
(VK) & 21% Visual Aural Kinesthetic (VAK). Students with kinesthetic approach (K, AK, VK &VAK) as one of their
preferred learning style are grouped together as K learners & those with V, A & VA learning style are grouped as VA
learners. Academic performance of students was assessed based on marks as low (< 60%), medium (60-80%) & high
achievers (<80%). Among the low achievers, K learners were predominant i.e. 68% compared to 32% of VA learners.
Whereas, both medium & high achievers were predominantly VA learners (67%) compared to K learners (33%)
(p<0.05). Visual & Aural learners were better academic performers than students with kinesthetic learning style.
Appropriate teaching approaches should be formulated to accommodate the needs of kinesthetic learners.

A STUDY OF CORRELATION OF PAP SMEAR AND COLOPOSCOPY WITH HISTOPATHOLOGICAL FINDINGS IN CASES OF UNHEALTHY CERVIX
Authors: Lavanya S. , adhubala S. Sakthim , Niroosha Gali
Published: January 2022

BACKGROUND: Cervical malignancy is the second most common among the malignancies in females, with breast
carcinoma the first. Screening of unhealthy cervix by pap smear and supported by colposcopy and histopathology can
easily identify the premalignant lesions and also other non-invasive inflammatory lesions of the cervix.
OBJECTIVES: To correlate Pap smear and Colposcopy findings with histopathological findings in detecting
premalignant lesions in the unhealthy cervix.
MATERIALS AND METHODS:A prospective observational study was conducted on 100 symptomatic, sexually active
women of 20-60 years. Pap smears and colposcopy was done for all 100 women who came with complaints of white
discharge per vagina, intermenstrual, postcoital, or postmenopausal bleeding. The final correlation of the Pap smear
and colposcopy was based on histopathology reports.
RESULTS: In the present study, the sensitivity of Pap smear for detecting lesions above LSIL was 82.3%, specificity
96.9%, PPV was 93.3%, negative predictive value 91.4% and accuracy of Pap smear was 92%. The sensitivity of
colposcopy in the detection of low-grade lesions and above came out to be 94.1%,specificity 87.8%,positive predictive
value 80%,negative predictive value 96% and accuracy of colposcopy was 90%.
CONCLUSION: This study suggests that the accuracy of detection of cervical abnormalities is higher when cytology,
colposcopic guided cervical biopsy and colposcopy are used complimentarily in the diagnosis of cervical lesions.
Colposcopy abolishes the need for repeated follow-up as in Pap smear and helps to reduce false-negative cases.

The microbiological composition of chicken manure has a significant impact on its further destruction. For the disposal of chicken manure by biological methods it is important to have in the manure nutrients, growth inhibitors (residues of antibiotics or disinfectants), the ratio of spore-forming and non-spore-forming microflora, as well as the presence of beneficial microflora. The aim of the work was to study the microbiological composition of chicken manure in poultry farms of Ukraine.

Chicken manure from poultry farms of different scale and method of keeping poultry on the territory of Ukraine was studied. Selected samples were transported in a thermal container and examined microbiologically by inoculation on commonly used and selective media. To determine the amount of spore-forming microflora, a slurry suspension was prepared, sown in a mattress with a dense nutrient medium and turpentine was introduced into a cotton gauze plug. The morphology of the isolated microorganisms, acid-forming properties, catalase activity and enzymatic properties were studied according to generally accepted methods.

It was found that in the manure of chickens, which were kept indoors, the percentage of spore-forming microorganisms ranged from 14.74 to 21.24 %, and not spore-forming – 78.76-85.26 %. In the manure of chickens that had grazed, the percentage of spore-forming microorganisms ranged from 48.93 to 78.81 %, and not spore-forming – 21.19-51.07 %. The average amount of spore-forming microflora under both conditions was 40.86 %, and not spore-forming – 59.14 %. According to the results of the work, 20 isolates were isolated, of which 15% of isolates had pronounced acid-forming properties. On MRS agar, the isolates had the appearance of small, smooth white-gray S-shaped colonies, in Gram-stained smears, small gram-positive rods were observed, arranged singly, in pairs, and in short chains. Isolates 1, 2 and 3 had a negative reaction to catalase.

According to the results of the studies, isolate 1 was identified as Lactobacillus salivarius subsp. salivarius, isolate 2 – Lactobacillus reuteri, and isolate 3 – Lactobacillus delbrueckii.

Diagnosis and treatment of mastitis in dairy farms is currently an important task for veterinarians to prevent the spread of the disease among the herd and to prevent the milk entrance from sick animals as a component of marketable produce.

Research and treatment of subclinical mastitis in dairy cows was carried out in LLC "Agrofirma Lan", Kindrativka village, Sumy district, Sumy region. Cows of experimental (D) groups with subclinical mastitis were feed concentrate with the addition of Bacillus megaterium (1٭109 CFU/g) at a dose of 35 grams per animal over a period of 30 days.

The control group of cows (K) was given the routine food for dairy cows. The aim of the study was to investigate the effectiveness of treatment with probiotic strain Bacillus megaterium (1٭109 CFU/g) in subclinical mastitis.

The presence of possible metabolic changes in the body of cows was determined by biochemical parameters in serum samples (n = 15), which were studied spectrophotometrically by conventional methods (SHIMADZU UV-1800, Japan).

At the end of the study period in cows with subclinical mastitis increase in total protein by 36,67 % and globulin by 75,11% was diagnosed.  Prior to the start of the study period, cows with subclinical mastitis had increased urea nitrogen levels by 48,87 %, which is higher than the allowable reference values for cows. Also, the level of metabolites in sick cows at the end of the treatment period was lower by AST by 53,69 % and ALT by 51,33 %, compared with the beginning of the study. The results confirm the absence of toxic effects from the probiotic used for treatment. Also, Bacillus megaterium (1٭109 CFU/g) has a therapeutic effect at a dose of 35 grams per animal and reduces inflammation in the udder. Confirmation of these results is the indicator of the somatic cell count (SCC), which is reduced by 70 times at the end of the experiment compared to the beginning, which classifies the probiotic to the "Extra" grade.

The question of the stability of lyophilized culture, namely - the maximum preservation of its viability – is an extremely important indicator of microbiological work. Of particular interest is the study of the impact on the preservation of the viability of the lyophilized culture of the gas composition of the ampoule filler after the actual lyophilization. In this regard, an analysis was performed and the viability of hemolytic pasteurella cells was evaluated, the ampoules of which were filled with nitrogen, argon, respectively, or simply sealed in a vacuum atmosphere. The experiment used materials that reflect the content of live pasteurella in ampoule lyophilized samples when stored for 12 months from the date of determination of the initial concentration.

The study of the properties of lyophilically dried samples of hemolytic pasteurel in an atmosphere of various chemical and physical state after 12 months of storage at 4-10 °C was as follows. Loss of living cells in specimens enclosed in ampoules under an atmosphere of nitrogen was 24.5%, argon - 43.7%, and in sealed vials with vacuum - 14.7 %.

The choice of temperature range 20-22 °C, in addition to the previously mentioned regime of 4-10 °C, was influenced by the need to verify its effect on the viability of lyophilized strains of hemolytic pasteurellosis. This is explained by the fact that most work with culture is most often carried out under this regime. Temperatures of 20-22 °C or close to it can be decisive in case of failure of refrigeration equipment or in case of other risks.

At a storage temperature of 20-22 °C, these indicators were 76.8 %, respectively, 80.6 % and 67.5 %. The average survival rates of pasteurella make it possible to detect a probable difference (p <0,05) between their number in ampoules with an atmosphere of inert gases compared with vials sealed under vacuum. The obtained data suggest that the viability of bacteria in ampoules with nitrogen atmosphere has a level that meets the international requirements for working with biological bacterial agents.

The aim of the work was to monitor the quality of food and hatching chicken eggs in terms of the content of vitamins and microelements. It was found that in the conditions of growing the reproductive livestock of chickens of the meat direction of productivity, there are deviations towards a deficiency in the content of vitamin B2 (the average indicator of the content of vitamin B2 for 5 years in the yolks of hatching eggs was below the norm in 94.9 % of the samples), carotenoids (in 52,3%), vitamin E (15.1 %) and Selene (9.7 %); in the conditions of growing reproductive livestock of the egg production direction – in terms of the content of carotenoids (in 63.6 %), vitamin E (in 30.8%), zinc (in 29.3 %) and selenium (40.8 %), and in industrial in egg production, the deficiency of the above substances is significantly pronounced, especially in terms of the content of zinc and selenium.

The average content of carotenoids in the yolk of eggs of hens of the egg production direction was 12.28 ± 0.32 mg/kg, meat – 17.27 ± 0.35 mg/kg. The average content of vitamin A in the yolk of edible and incubation (from hens of egg and meat production) eggs was 7.10 ± 0.02 mg/kg, 7.35 ± 0.04 mg/kg, and 8.00 ± 0.03 mg/kg respectively. The average content of vitamin E in the yolk of eggs of hens of the egg direction was 353.86 ± 1.74 mg/kg, meat – 364.71 ± 1.54 mg/kg. The average content of vitamin B2 was, respectively, 4.47 ± 0.01 mg/kg, 4.60 ± 0.01 mg/kg and 4.84 ± 0.02 mg/kg for food and eggs from chickens in both directions of productivity. The average zinc level was 6.52 ± 0.07 mg/kg, 9.68 ± 0.17 mg/kg and 13.63 ± 0.19 mg/kg in eggs. The average copper level was 0.94 ± 0.01 mg/kg, 1.24 ± 0.02 mg/kg and 1.67 ± 0.04 mg/kg respectively. The average content of Selenium was, respectively 0.30 ± 0.01 mg/kg, 0.65 ± 0.01 mg/kg, and 0.76 ± 0.004 mg/kg for edible eggs and incubation eggs from poultry of egg and meat direction.

The monitoring results suggest that the transfer of nutrients from feed to eggs depends not only on the availability of a sufficient amount of them in the feed, but also on the degree of assimilation and use in the metabolism of the bird's body.
