Authors: - Tshokey , - Kelzang , Gyeltshen Tshering , Tamang Monu
Published: November 2024

Bhutanese Traditional Medicine (Sowa Rigpa) and allopathic medicine are integrated and state-funded in the three-tier healthcare system of Bhutan. Bhutanese Traditional Medicine services are available in all three levels of the healthcare system offering a range of services, from consultations to therapies and drug dispensations. Except for the National Traditional Medicine Hospital in Thimphu, all the centres across the country offer only outpatient services. Out of 81 traditional medicine centres, 55 centres are located at the primary level, serving people in different geographical areas of the country. Despite an increasing number of patients availing the traditional medicine services, the facilities at the primary level continue to face several challenges. The challenges include delayed and disruptive medicine supply chain, lack of an effective and systematic patient referral system, misconceptions and lack of awareness of traditional medicine services and inadequate infrastructure. All of these impede the provision of traditional medicine services in the communities. We recommend a technology-based drug delivery system in addition to resilient production centres, an effective patient referral system in traditional medicine practice by leveraging on the guideline and electronic patient information system, advocacies in the communities to dispel the myths and misconceptions regarding the Bhutanese Traditional Medicine, and adequate and architecturally smart infrastructure. Implementing these solutions could enhance access and utilization of traditional medicine services, leveraging the best use of this important component of the healthcare system.
Book Review: Obolevitch T. The Eastern Christian Tradition in Modern Russian Thought and Beyond
Authors:   Ural State Conservatory named after M. P. Mussorgsky, Makarov Dmitry ,   Ural Federal University (Yekaterinburg)
Published: November 2024

In the book by sister Teresa Obolevitch, Professor of the Krakow University, the formation and development of the two basic lines within Russian philosophy is shown, i.e., of Soloviev’s «all-unity» system and of Archpriest G. Florovsky’s «Neopatristic synthesis». The author tracks down their intertwinement up to the 21st-century works by S. S. Horuzhy. Like Fr. Thomas Merton, wide known in the West, Horuzhy also showed up a deep interest in Hesychasm, Zen and their spiritual practices and techniques. Prof. Obolevitch believes that Florovsky had not proposed clear-cut criteria for building up a Neo-patristic synthesis of the present-day Russian thought. Besides Horuzhy, no prominent adherents of this trend of thought are to be seen in the most recent history of Russian thought.
The Problem of Representation: Postmodernism, Critical Theory and Media Discourse
Authors:   Russian State Vocational Pedagogical University, Oleshkova Anna
Published: November 2024

The purpose of the article is to characterize the possibilities and limitations of the representation of offline culture in the online space. The article uses methods of historical and philosophical, comparative analysis and critical discourse analysis. The specifics and genesis of the concept of “postmodernism” are determined in connection with the need to understand the essence of modern culture, which can be represented as divided into online and offline spaces. The problems of representation in the media discourse, which is predominantly quasi-political in nature, are identified and characterized. The sensitive spheres of representation are indicated: gender, racial, ideological. In the context of critical theory and postmodernism, the difficulties in representation associated with three factors are presented: the limitations of language and symbols, the bias and subjectivity of the authors, the complexity and versatility of the cultural phenomena themselves. Modern society is postmodern and capitalist. It is concluded that freedom for the “speaking subject” is declared.
Monad Computations in Type Theoretical Semantics
Authors:   Institute of Philosophy and Law SB RAS, Domanov Oleg
Published: November 2024

Monad is a construction from the category theory, which could be understood as an abstraction of computation [Moggi, 1991]. This is a computation resulting not simply in the computed value but in this value with an additional structure. In recent years, monad in this sense has been successfully applied to natural language semantics in the framework of Montague’s formalism. This article deals with monad computation applications in type theoretical semantics [Ranta, 1994]. Several examples illustrate the usage of monads as well as applicative functors for contexts accounting in various situations, controlling the order of quantifiers, belief reports formalization. The language of formalization is Agda

Published: November 2024

The article examines the phenomenon of the evolution of the Eurasian socio-cultural space. The study of the determinants of the crisis state of the development of culture and sociality under the influence of globalization processes allows us to identify the main factors that have a dominant impact on the formation of the socio-cultural space, determining the prospects for the development of the socio-culture of local communities in Eurasia. The use of a sociocultural approach allows us to explore the fundamental principles of explaining and understanding sociocultural evolution, to present a comprehensive description of the processes of development of local communities in the course of industrial, economic and institutional modernization. There are two main trends in the dynamics of the socio-cultural development of Eurasia: traditionalism, the preservation and maintenance of traditional socio-cultural heritage and a modernized, liberalized structure aimed at the destruction of traditional socio-cultural values.

The Courage to Use Your Own Intelligence as a Purpose of Education
Authors:   Independent Researcher, Shachina Anna
Published: November 2024

The paper develops the problem of educational guidelines. The purpose of the article is to show that such guidelines should not be limited exclusively to the pragmatic aspect, i.e. mastering the profession, but should include a moral and practical dimension, i.e. education to independent thinking as the foundation of the moral education of the individual. Moreover, thinking should be not only independent, but also correct, i.e. meet the criteria of universality according to the categorical imperative and communicability according to the requirements of the canon of pure reason. As a result of the study, it was concluded that courage to use your own intelligence is the motto of enlightenment, and enlightenment is the principle and purpose of education. It was also concluded that the purpose of education can be achieved only in conditions of freedom realized in the political and legal institutions of the state. But the state itself depends on how much citizens are able to reveal their potential and have the courage to think independently, as well as the ability to think correctly.

Nutritional disorders and nutrition-related conditions: an underestimated clinical problem in systemic sclerosis
Authors: Wojteczek Anna , Chmielewski Michał , Zdrojewski Zbigniew
Published: November 2024

Nutritional disorders are significant but often underestimated complications in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc). The most prevalent nutritional disorders in SSc are malnutrition, affecting up to 62.5% of patients, and sarcopenia, with a frequency of up to 42%. Thus, clinical vigilance is recommended for the detection of eating disorders in SSc patients, particularly those with gastrointestinal involvement, cardiopulmonary complications, an advanced disease stage, and high disease activity. Nutritional treatment should be carefully tailored to the patients’ clinical condition to ensure that it effectively addresses their specific needs. Studies focusing on enteral nutrition in SSc patients demonstrate its effectiveness in stabilizing or improving nutritional status in malnourished patients. In severe cases, parenteral nutrition offers viable options to support patient health. The findings highlight the importance of early nutritional assessment and intervention in improving patient outcomes and suggest that individualized nutritional therapy can be a critical component of comprehensive care for SSc patients.
Automatic assessment of nailfold capillaroscopy software: a pilot study
Authors: Brzezińska Olga Elżbieta , Rychlicki-Kicior Krzysztof Andrzej , Makowska Joanna Samanta
Published: November 2024

Introduction

Capillaroscopy is a simple method of nailfold capillary imaging, used to diagnose diseases from the systemic sclerosis spectrum. However, the assessment of the capillary image is time-consuming and subjective. This makes it difficult to use for a detailed comparison of studies assessed by various physicians. This pilot study aimed to validate software used for automatic capil­lary counting and image classification as normal or pathological.

Material and methods

The study was based on the assessment of 200 capillaroscopic images obtained from patients suffering from systemic sclerosis or scleroderma spectrum diseases and healthy people. Dinolite MEDL4N Pro was used to perform capillaroscopy. Each image was analysed manually and described using working software. The neural network was trained using the fast.ai library (based on PyTorch). The ResNet-34 deep residual neural network was chosen; 10-fold cross-validation with the validation and test set was performed, using the Darknet-YoloV3 state of the art neural network in a GPU-optimized (P5000 GPU) environment. For the calculation of 1 mm capillaries, an additional detection mechanism was designed.

Results

The results obtained under neural network training were compared to the results obtained in manual analysis. The sensitivity of the automatic tool relative to manual assessment in classification of correct vs. pathological images was 89.0%, specificity 89.4% for the training group, in validation 89.0% and 86.9% respectively. For the average number of capillaries in 1 mm the precision of real images detected within the region of interest was 96.48%.

Conclusions

The pilot software for fully automatic capillaroscopic image assessment can be a useful tool for the rapid classification of a normal and altered capillaroscopy pattern. In addition, it allows one to quickly calculate the number of capillaries. In the future, the tool will be developed and will make it possible to obtain full imaging characteristics independent of the experience of the examiner.
Analysis of periodontal status in Polish patients with rheumatoid arthritis treated with biological therapies
Authors: Samborska-Mazur Joanna , Sikorska Dorota , Wyganowska Marzena Liliana
Published: November 2024

Introduction

Periodontitis, characterized by inflammation affecting the tooth-supporting tissues, may increase the risk of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) or cardiovascular diseases. The aim of the study was to evaluate the periodontal status in RA patients and its impact on the inflammatory markers and red cell parameters obtained from complete blood laboratory tests to study the risk of cardiovascular disease development.

Material and methods

The cross-sectional study included 50 patients with RA treated with biologi­cal therapies: tumor necrosis factor inhibitors, interleukin-6 blockers. Rheumatoid arthritis disease activity was assessed with Disease Activity Score with 28-joint count (DAS28). The periodontal indices modified Approximal Periodontal Index, modified Papillary Bleeding Index, and Periodontal Screening Index (PSI) were used to assess patients’ periodontal status. Serum levels of erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP) were used as inflammatory markers and a potential cardiovascular risk factor.

Results

No statistically significant correlation was found between the periodontal status and RA activity. However, a statistically significant correlation was found between the CRP results and the PSI scores (R = –0.264510, p = 0.048837). Evaluation of the red cell parameters showed statistically significant differences in the markers of inflammation ESR (R = 0.369398, p = 0.008289) and CRP (R = 0.367405, p = 0.008672). Red cell distribution width values were also correlated with RA activity (R = 0.286387, p = 0.043769) and duration of the disease (R = 0.339425, p = 0.015889).

Conclusions

A satisfactory periodontal status was found in most of the study group. Increased CRP levels in patients with periodontitis may indicate the negative impact of periodontal status on the general clinical condition of the patient.

In the modern world, income inequality is growing, the share of labor income is decreasing, and the problems of overcoming poverty and equalizing people’s living standards have become acute. The article aimed to study trends in regional and sectoral inequality of labor income in Kazakhstan, identify contradictions and causes of their differentiation, and develop recommendations for reduction. The hypothesis: the assumption that the size of regional inequality of labor income depends on the sectoral specialization of the regional economy. Tasks: review theoretical issues of income inequality, analyze wage trends in Kazakhstan’s regions and their primary industries, and develop recommendations to reduce income inequality. The proof/refutation of the hypothesis was carried out by assessing regional and sectoral differences in the labor incomes of Kazakhstanis and identifying their contradictions. The methods are generalization and concretization, comparisons and analogs, systematic approach, economic and statistical, comparative analysis, Pareto, and indicative. Information base: domestic and foreign scientists’ works, data from the Bureau of National Statistics of the Republic of Kazakhstan, and regional statistical services. Results: the methods of overcoming income inequality in world practice were identified; it was proved that despite wage growth, the share of labor income is decreasing; regional wage inequality in Kazakhstan in 2022 amounted to 2.3 times. It is recommended that regional inequality of labor income be reduced by introducing regional coefficients and shifting taxation from labor income to income from capital and property.
GUIDELINES FOR THE APPLICATION OF ELECTROTHERAPY AND LASER THERAPY IN BURN PATIENTS

This article addresses the importance of electrotherapy and laser therapy in the treatment of burn patients, justifying their need due to the complexity involved in the recovery of these individuals and the recent advances in these therapeutic modalities. Burns cause deep damage to the skin and underlying tissues, generating complications such as intense pain, hypertrophic scars, and functional loss. Despite the conventional use of medications, grafts, and topical care, there is a growing demand for complementary treatments that accelerate healing, control pain, and promote more effective rehabilitation. The objective of this study is to review and analyze the effects of electrotherapy and laser therapy on the healing process, pain control, and functional recovery of burn patients. The methodology used was a literature review in scientific databases, including articles published between 2015 and 2023, focusing on research that examined the use of these therapies in the context of burns. The results indicate that electrotherapy favors tissue healing by increasing blood flow and stimulating cell regeneration, in addition to providing pain relief through transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS). Laser therapy, in turn, accelerates healing by stimulating the production of ATP in cells, reducing inflammation and improving the quality of scars, minimizing the risk of hypertrophic scars and keloids. Studies that combine both therapies show a faster and more effective recovery, with a lower incidence of complications. The conclusion highlights that the combined application of electrotherapy and laser therapy presents significant benefits, being an effective alternative to optimize healing, reduce pain and improve the functionality of burn patients. Dissemination of these results is essential to improve clinical care and encourage future research that expands the use of these therapies in clinical practice.

Humans need to continue to innovate and develop by the progress of the times. Therefore, education is an essential pillar for producing the next generation, which will face challenges in the era of the Industrial Revolution. Their critical thinking skills, creativity, and self-development are very important to protect students from fierce competition. Therefore, the learning model is essential in forming students to produce a reliable generation. Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics (STEAM) is the right choice for students to train in creativity. This study aims to determine the creativity abilities of students at Homeschooling Pena Surabaya. The method used is experimental quantitative with 18 students as samples (total sampling)—data collection techniques through questionnaires, documentation, and observation. The statistical results state that a significant influence between STEAM-based Project Based Learning (PBL) learning on creativity, known from the calculated r, is greater than the table r (10.096˃2.131). The maximum post-test score is 100 for one person and is included in the "Very High" category. The maximum post-test score is 70 for four people. The average post-test result is 81.67 and is included in the "Very High" category.

В работе представлены результаты исследования биологических запасов дикорастущей черники Vaccinium myrtillus L. в насаждениях сосняка ягодного. Исследование проводилось в период 2020–2023 гг. на территории трех лесничеств: Березовского, Нижнетагильского и Ревдинского, а также Уральского учебно-опытного лесхоза УГЛТУ. Всего было заложено 70 пробных площадей. Определялись следующие показатели запасов: надземная фитомасса в абсолютно сухом состоянии, проективное покрытие и текущий биологический урожай плодов в свежесобранном виде. Установлено, что среднее проективное покрытие черники в условиях сосняка ягодного подзоны средней тайги Свердловской области составляет 18,1 %, надземная фитомасса в абсолютно сухом состоянии – 177,5 кг/га, а средняя биологическая урожайность – 53,6 кг/га. Многие изучаемые насаждения обладают значительными запасами черники и пригодны для организации промысловых заготовок. Наблюдается существенная вариация показателей биологического запаса черники внутри насаждений одного типа леса. Проективное покрытие в различных насаждениях меняется от 2,7 до 90 %, урожайность – от полного отсутствия плодоношения до 213,0 кг/га. Значительно отличаются и средние показатели запасов черники на пробных площадях в разных лесничествах. Среднее проективное покрытие черники может отличаться от 8,1 в условиях УУОЛ УГЛТУ до 40,8 % в сосняке ягодном на территории Ревдинского лесничества.

The paper presents the results of a study of biological stocks of wild blueberry Vaccinium myrtillus L. in plantations of berry pine. The study was conducted in the period 2020–2023 on the territory of three forestry districts of the Sverdlovsk region: Berezovsky, Nizhnetagilsky and Revdinsky, as well as the Ural educational and experimental forestry UGLU. In total, 70 trial areas were laid. The following indicators of blueberry stocks were determined: aboveground phytomass in an absolutely dry state, a projective coating and the current biological harvest of fruits in freshly harvested form. It was found that the average projective cover of blueberries in the conditions of berry pine in the middle taiga subzone of the Sverdlovsk region is 18.1 %, the aboveground phytomass in an absolutely dry state is 177.5 kg/ha, and the average biological yield is 53.6 kg/ha. Many of the studied plantations have signiﬁ cant reserves of blueberries and are suitable for the organization of commercial harvesting. There is a signiﬁ cant variation in the indicators of the biological stock of blueberries inside plantations of the same type of forest. The projective coverage in various plantings varies from 2.7 to 90 %, the yield from complete absence of fruiting to 213.0 kg/ha. The average indicators of blueberry stocks in the sample areas in different forest areas also differ signiﬁ cantly. The average projective cover of blueberries can vary from 8.1 in the conditions of UUOL UGLTU to 40.8 % in the berry pine forest on the territory of the Revdinsky forestry.
