Published: May 2023

Analysis of the data of modern literature on this problem, as well as the results of previous studies Stankevych L.G, Zemtsova I.I. (2014), showed that a significant acceleration of free radical oxidation processes, under various nonspecific effects on the body, which occurs in tissues and organs during physical activity, can lead to the oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids (SFA) of membrane lipids, which causes a change in the physicochemical properties of the membranes and leads to changes in the concentration of a number of organic and inorganic components in the cell, the release of enzymes, amino acids, and trace elements from the cell and subcellular formations, which can reduce sports performance and slow down recovery processes. One of the ways to solve this problem is to use antioxidants in muscle activity; data on their use as nonspecific means of stimulating the effectiveness of training activity are often scattered and contradictory and therefore require further clarification. Objective: To substantiate the possibility of regulating the adaptive reactions of modern pentathlon athletes in the pre-competition period by targeted correction of the state of the AO system with the help of antioxidants. Results: Under the influence of the AO-complex, a decrease in the content of MDA was found both at rest and after exercise, which indicates an increased reserve of the body's AO system. The study of the state of individual links of the AO system under the influence of the AO complex revealed a significant activity of SOD and CAT after exercise (10 km) in the experimental group compared to the control group. Conclusions. The conducted studies of the antioxidant status of the body of athletes are of great practical importance, since they allow us to recommend the use of agents with antioxidant properties for the implementation of anti-stress measures during competitions, to increase the antioxidant reserve of the body and to preserve the health of athletes.

There are close associative relationships between physical and mental development of a person, and it has been established that systematic exercise has a positive effect on physical and mental performance. The purpose of the study is to identify the possibility of a specific effect of training loads of different orientation on the indicators of mental performance of young female athletes aged 13-15 years.

The features of specific influence of training loads of different orientation on indicators of mental performance of young sportsmen of specialized boarding sports institutions are considered. The sportswomen of Brovary sports professional college (experimental group) (n=75) took part in the research, who according to the classification of sports by Dembo (1980) were divided into two groups: group A - speed and power sports (n=28); group B - endurance sports (n=47). The control group consisted of female students aged 13-15 years (n=30) who did not play sports. The mental performance of the subjects was assessed by the results of solving arithmetic problems. A comparative analysis of changes in the indicators of mental performance of the subjects is given. It is revealed that the specificity of the training process leaves an imprint on the nature of changes in the indicators of the mentioned performance in young female athletes aged 13-15 years. The orientation of the training process specializes the peculiarities of the development of mental performance of young sportsmen of adolescent age. Under the influence of training loads mainly aimed at developing the quality of endurance, there is an improvement in mental performance (there is a significant decrease in the indicator of time of solving problems and a decrease in the number of errors made during testing), while under the influence of loads of speed and power character there are insignificant changes in the average values of time of solving problems and a significant increase in the number of errors made.

The article studies the basics of profile training for schoolchildren, the formation of their professional capabilities, the creation of activities for choosing a future profession, occupation. The studies of various authors on vocational guidance terminology consider the training of high school students in the form of excursions to enterprises, the creation of specialized classes, projects in selected specialties, training in the necessary subjects for future admission to universities. The basics of social and pedagogical work with high school students, the possibilities of educational schools in Kazakhstan, profile directions in high school, which rely not only on the profile training of high school students but also on creating a harmonious climate in the classroom, working with troubled teenagers, and their choice of the profession, have been studied. The work mentions the Bologna European education system, to which most countries are switching, where specialized education in schools allows students to enter universities and complete a bachelor’s degree in one specialty, and then enter the magistracy and get another related profession without wasting years training at the university. By choosing any direction of study, the senior student receives general educational skills and the opportunity to pass an exam in specialized subjects, to get some kind of working specialty. The positive aspects of the introduction of a vocational guidance program for high school students are the improvement of their knowledge in the self-determination of the future profession, the development of a specialized training program, which is necessary for admission and study at a university, for the formation of their professional competencies. The negative aspects of specialized education at school are also highlighted, comprising in narrowly focused training, which may be useless to the student in the future and does not provide an opportunity for diversified development. A survey was carried out among students in 10–11 grades, during which it was determined that half of the students do not know whether they choose the educational profile correctly, whether the school career guidance direction will help in future studies at the university, in admission to it, passing exams in the selected additional subjects. As a result, it was determined that many senior schoolchildren of the studied school in Kazakhstan are not satisfied with the chosen profile of education and doubt that the chosen profile class will help them in their future professional development.

This article discusses ways to determine the degree of hypodynamics among students at school and suggests a method for determining the symptoms of hypodynamics. As a result of the questionnaire, the risk groups of hypodynamia among students were identified. The physiological state of these groups can be further determined. Analyzing the results of the questionnaire, it was found out that more than a half of pupils prefer inactive form of rest in their free time. Increased appetite due to hypodynamia leads to obesity, further increasing body weight and preventing exercise. The occurrence of hypoxia due to reduced motor activity, damage to cerebral blood vessels can contribute to a decrease in memory, cause abnormalities leading to a decrease in mental performance, neurosis. The first signs of hypodynamia include weakness, sleep disturbances, headaches and overweight. Analysis of the questionnaire results showed that every tenth pupil regularly does morning exercises, a quarter attend sports clubs, moreover, an important factor limiting the motor activity of pupils is the learning process accompanied by a significant number of activities. The absence of the above signs of hypodynamia is characteristic of half of the students, and the “overweight problem” is characteristic of a quarter of the students. All this is a risk of the development of more severe consequences of hypodynamia.

Artemisia annua L. is acknowledged as a traditional medicinal plant bearing potent antimalarial, antileishmanial, antibacterial, antifungal and antioxidant potential. Therefore, this study was carried out to explore the anti-inflammatory impact of A. annua both in vitro and in vivo in rabbit models. We procured fresh A. annua plant material from local nurseries and Artemisinin was extracted from its leaves. The anti-inflammatory potential of the herb was found significant (p<0.05) in terms of IC-50 against the control. For in vivo trial, 50 rabbits were procured and 5-HT were injected parenterally into their paws to generate inflammation and were subsequently treated with Artemisinin, acetylsalicylic acid, and normal saline for the control group. Rabbits were treated using three different concentrations of Artemisinin @ 100mg/ml, 200mg/ml and 500mg/ml in Group A, B and C, respectively, while, Group D using Acetylsalicylic acid @ 80mg/Kg and Group E served as control. The rabbits of Group C demonstrated the greatest reduction in inflammation in the inflamed paws of model rabbits within the first four hours of treatment and significantly (p<0.05) reduced the swelling after two and four hours by 40 and 60 per cent, respectively. Artemisinin has a thus potent anti-inflammatory effect and can be employed as commercial anti inflammatory medicine.

Die Studieneingangsphase stellt Studierende vor vielschichtige Herausforderungen auf institutionell-organisatorischer, inhaltlicher und sozialer Ebene. Die Implementation von Peer-Learning-Formaten könnte diesen Herausforderungen begegnen. Diesen konnten bereits positive Effekte auf die vertiefte und aktivere inhaltliche Verarbeitung von Lerninhalten, auf motivationale Variablen und den Lernerfolg der Studierenden nachgewiesen werden. In der vorliegenden Studie wurde daher ein Peer-Learning-Format im Biologiestudium implementiert und der Zusammenhang zwischen Tutoriumsteilnahme der Studierenden und der inhaltlichen Verarbeitung, motivationalen Variablen sowie dem Lernerfolg von 178 Biologiestudierenden (M = 20.22 ± 2.74 Jahre; 68.5% weiblich) mittels multivariaten und univariaten Varianzanalysen untersucht. Neben der Teilnahme am Tutorium wurden zudem die Noten der Studierenden und die Lehr- und Lernbedingungen im Tutorium erhoben. Die vorliegenden Befunde sprechen für positive Zusammenhänge zwischen der Tutoriumsteilnahme und inhaltlichen sowie motivationalen Aspekten. Während der Abiturgesamtnote der Biologiestudierenden ein signifikanter Effekt auf die Klausurnote zugeschrieben werden konnte, wurden zudem positive Zusammenhänge zwischen Tutoriumsteilnahme und dem Studienerfolg der Biologiestudierenden festgestellt. Peer-Learning-Angebote könnten somit eine Option sein, Biologiestudierende in der Studieneingangsphase wirksam zu unterstützen.

Micro-entrepreneurial structures in the field of agricultural production generate employment, have adaptive potential for the formation of stable food systems and survival. The purpose of this study was to substantiate the theoretical and methodological foundations and socio-economic problems of micro-entrepreneurial activities in agriculture under martial law. Research methodology. The methodological framework of the present study included the provisions of system analysis. To generalize results, the study involved monographic, normative, graphic, abstractlogical methods and approaches. Study results. The place of micro-enterprises in the “production – distribution – exchange – consumption” system is determined. They can creatively contribute to the achievement of sustainable development criteria, form sustainable agri-food chains, guarantee self-sufficiency in food products, develop local niche exclusive productions, and ensure self-employment of the rural population. It is established that personal farms that have organized a family farm and registered as individual entrepreneurs also have the opportunity to implement their activities. It was found that the most adapted to the crisis conditions associated with military actions are family farms and household plots. However, the lack of stable sales channels for the products of micro-enterprises, the low level of purchase prices and a considerable increase in prices due to military operations for energy resources, machinery, fertilizers, and plant protection products make production inefficient. One of the priority areas of regional policy is still the development of family farming, small and micro businesses in rural areas. Practical significance.

Increasing the level of competitiveness of the agricultural sector and solving important tasks for rural areas requires the consideration of the priorities of sustainable development. The implementation of this task requires new concepts of agricultural management, the justification of which is impossible without improving corporate reporting. The purpose of this study was to supplement the scientific and methodological framework for the development of a reporting architecture for the sustainable development of agricultural companies. This study involved the following methods: monographic, graphic, method of systematization and logical concretization, synthesis, induction and deduction, questionnaires, generalization, method of structural and genetic analysis and synthesis. The study found that in modern management, corporate financial and non-financial reporting is a strategic management tool that signals investors about the long-term nature and public priorities of business development. It was discovered that reporting on sustainable development is becoming widespread in the practice of foreign companies. The attitude of the management of Ukrainian agricultural companies towards the issue of the expediency of adding sustainable development indicators to management reporting was clarified. The corporate reporting of Ukrainian agricultural enterprises was analysed, which allowed identifying the key guidelines for reporting on sustainable development in the future. The set of qualitative characteristics of reporting on the sustainable development of Ukrainian agricultural companies was substantiated. Based on the mathematical model, an attempt was made to estimate the impact of corporate reporting on sustainable development on the profitability of agricultural companies. The results showed a connection between these factors in large agricultural holdings and uncertainty in medium and small agricultural companies. The results can be used by agricultural enterprises that are focused on achieving the sustainable development goals of agricultural production and rural areas
Behavioral optimization in Scientific Publishing
Authors: Watve Milind
Published: May 2023

Peer reviewed scientific publishing is critical for communicating important findings, interpretations and theories in any branch of science. While the value of peer review is rarely doubted, much concern is being raised about the possible biases in the process. I argue here that most of the biases originate in the evolved innate tendency of every player to optimize one’s own cost benefits. Different players in the scientific publishing game have different cost-benefit optima. There are multiple conflicts between individual optima and collective goals. An analysis of the cost-benefit optima of every player in the scientific publishing game shows how and why biases originate. By continuing with the current publishing trend, the global distribution of the scientific community would be increasingly clustered. Publication biases by gender, ethnicity, reputation, conformation and conformity will be increasingly common and revolutionary concepts increasingly difficult to publish. For a better future of science, it is necessary to design a publication system based on principles of human behaviour rather than on some ideological assumptions. If a system is designed in such a way that the conflicts between individual optima and collective goal are minimized, if everyone cares only for his/her personal benefits, biases would get minimized automatically and the progress towards the collective goal would be faster and smoother. Changing towards such a system might prove difficult unless a critical mass of authors take an active role to revolutionize scientific publishing.

Authors: Hormozi Jangi Saeed Reza
Published: May 2023

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a global pandemic infectious disease with higher potential for outbreaks than the other epidemic disease such as severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), influenza A (H1N1), and the Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS), which identified in China on December 31, 2019. The common clinical feature of COVID-19 are including fever, cough, normal or decreased white blood cells (WBCs), and multiple patchy glassy shadows on CT images of the peripheral and posterior lungs. The median of the age of peoples infected with COVID-19 is above 40 years and children are less susceptible to COVID-19 infections. Studies on the epidemiological parameters of COVID-19 reveal its high potential for outbreaks, as now we see around the world.Regarding themechanism action of 2019-nCoV, some researchers suggested that the ACE2 is the receptor of this novel virus. Concerning the clinical diagnosis, CT scans can be used as a highly accurate method for the clinical diagnosis of the COIVD-19 along with the rRT-PCR. In comparison with SARS, MERS, and H1N1, although the novel COVID-19 shows the same clinical features with these diseases, it reveals the higher potential for outbreaks and consequently for causing global pandemics than MERS, H1N1, and SARS.

Smell is a chemical substance mixed in the air that humans perceive with their sense of smell. Loss of smell or loss of smell has become very important in recent years. Currently, research on odor is very interesting because it can determine the type of odor, as well as the function of smell. Examination of the intravenous smell test and alcohol smell test is one of the gold standard examinations that can be done to determine the type of smell disorder. To determine the concordance between the results of the intravenous alinamin smell test and the alcohol smell test in patients with olfactory disorders at RSMH Palembang. Observational and analytic research using cross sectional. Data collection was carried out using the medical records of RSUP Dr. Mohammad Hoesin Palembang for the period October 2022 to January 2023. Data were analyzed with IBM SPSS 25. In this study, there were 49 patients with complaints of smell disturbances to the THTBKL department of RSUP Dr. Mohammad Hoesin Palembang. The mean age in the study was 33 years old with the most vulnerable population aged <20 years (26.5%). With the majority of the female sex (57.1%). While the majority of the work is mostly students (26.5%) and complains of gradual disturbance smells (91.8%). Most of the patients who came with complaints of smell disturbances were patients with sinonasal masses (53.1%). The correlation between intravenous alinamin and alcohol smell tests using the Spearman correlation test showed a very strong correlation (r=0.908) and in the conformity test using Cohen's kappa value obtained was 1.000 which means that perfect agreement was reached between the two tests. There is a concordance in the examination results between the alinamin smell test and the alcohol smell test in patients with complaints of smell disorders.

Health Care Workers (HCWs) are a top priority to receive the vaccination for Coronavirus Disease 2019 (Covid-19). After two doses of the Sinovac vaccine as the primary vaccine, protection against Covid-19 weakens over time, so a booster vaccination is considered to produce more antibodies. In addition, each vaccine is inseparable from Adverse Event Following Immunization (AEFI). This study compares antibody levels and AEFIs between two doses of the Sinovac vaccine with the Moderna booster. This research is an observational analytic study with a cross-sectional study design and the sampling method is random sampling with a total of 74 HCWs using a consecutive sampling method. Samples that had received two doses of the Sinovac vaccine or booster doses of the Moderna vaccine after two doses of the Sinovac vaccine were included. Samples that had been infected with Covid-19 before vaccination were excluded. IgG antibody levels were measured using Chemiluminescent Microparticle Immunoassay (CMIA), while vaccine type and AEFI were gathered via questionnaire. The severity of AEFIs is based on WHO classification. The data analysis used the Mann-Whitney and Chi-Square tests with a 95% Confidence Interval (CI) to determine the relationship between variables. Twenty-nine subjects received two doses of the Sinovac primary vaccine (38.2%), and forty-five received the Moderna booster vaccine (59.2%). In booster doses of the Moderna vaccine recipients, antibodies tended to be higher, and the most common AEFIs were systemic. There was a significant difference in IgG antibody levels between recipients of two doses of the Sinovac vaccine (median=2888.8 AU/mL) and booster Moderna vaccine recipients (median=18081.04 AU/mL) (p=0.000, p <0.05). There were significant differences in AEFI in the groups receiving two doses of the Sinovac vaccine and those receiving the booster vaccine (p=0.000, p<0.05). This study concludes that there is a significant correlation between administering the Covid-19 vaccine and post-vaccination IgG antibody levels and AEFI.

Long COVID, also known as post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection or post-acute COVID-19 syndrome, refers to a range of symptoms and complications that persist more than 4 weeks after diagnosis. Common symptoms include fatigue, headache, anosmia, ageusia, chronic cough, shortness of breath, impaired concentration and memory, sleep disturbances, depression, anxiety, and hair loss. The incidence of long COVID varies according to the data, but it has been reported in 20% to 60% of acute COVID-19 patients. Despite its high incidence and significant medical and societal burden, there is currently no clear definition or objective diagnostic criteria for long COVID. Its diagnosis and treatment options are also limited due to insufficient evidence. Nevertheless, a functional medicine approach, through aspects such as adrenal fatigue, gut health, inflammation resolution, histamine imbalance, and vitamin D deficiency, can help long COVID patients. Blood tests, urinary organic acid profile, and food intolerance tests can be utilized, and lifestyle modification, oral or intravenous nutrition therapies can be implemented. In this article, we review the existing medical literature on long COVID and propose a functional medicine approach and management for long COVID.
