Perswazyjne walory derywatów transpozycyjnych w tekstach reklam
Authors:   Uniwersytet Gdański, Rogowska-Cybulska Ewa
Published: March 2021

The article presents persuasive qualities of using transpositional word forming derivatives in text advertising. They are divided into persuasive values, which result from references of these derivates to a paradigmatic context and consequently become apparent already when single word forming derivatives of this type appear in the text, and values that result from references of these derivatives to a syntagmatic context, which requires the use of a larger number of words in the text. The paradigmatic context described here are derivatives belonging to specified word forming categories and types. For instance, the use of nouns to name abstract features serves the enhancement of positive qualities of advertised products (e.g. Perfecta. Łączy nas piękno [Perfecta. We share the beauty]), abstract names of processes and states suggest reliability and durability of the effects of advertised products (e.g. Hines / Zaufanie budowane latami [Hines / Trust built for years]) or their immediate effectiveness (e.g. Wsparcie już na starcie – Multilac [Support at a start – Multilac]). Moreover, thanks to adjectival adverbs advertised products become identified, among other things, with the effects of their use (e.g. Arla Apetina – szybko, łatwo, apetycznie [Arla Apetina – quickly, easily, deliciously]), or hyperbolization of values described by a specific adjective (e.g. Tu jest niewiarygodnie tanio! – Kaufland [Here prices are incredibly low – Kaufland]). A persuasively profitable syntagmatic context of transpositional derivatives is accumulation of a larger number of such derivatives in the text or their comparison to their root words. The effect of the first one is multiplication of their persuasive values whereas the second one may evoke the suggestion of some diversification of the offer, make it credible, enhance the advertised value, or introduce idioms, which are regarded as attractive persuasive devices, to the text.
Odchylenia od pewnej zasady grzecznościowej spowodowane działaniem prawa Behaghela
Authors:   Uniwersytet Humanistyczno-Przyrodniczy Jana Kochanowskiego w Kielcach, Ruszkowski Marek
Published: March 2021

At the beginning of the 20th century, Otto Behaghel formulated a law, which he called the law of the increasing members, on the basis of the material selected from several dozen world languages. According to this law, when words are coordinated and include equal elements, they are fixed in a definite order – a shorter element usually precedes the longer one (a length of words is measured in syllables). Deviations from linguistic expressions of politeness (which would prescribe placing a woman before a man) caused by this regularity can be noticed in many coordinates, e.g., dziad i baba, Andrzej i Eliza, Antoniusz i Kleopatra, Jacek i Agatka, Jan i Cecylia, Jaś i Małgosia, Klaudiusz i Messalina, Mąż i żona, Tristan i Izolda, Witold i Elwira. The order of some coordinates of this type may also be motivated by substantial aspects such as social hierarchy, old-time patriarchal family relations, or a translation into Polish. Nevertheless, Behaghel’s linguistic law undoubtedly influences the order of elements in many coordinates.
Język śląski – problem terminologiczny czy społeczny?

A discussion about the “Silesian language” that has recently become more intense is the effect of the Act on National and Ethnic Minorities and on Regional Language adopted by Sejm in 2005, on the basis of which Kashubian language was granted a status of regional language. This fact has aroused Silesian community, which has long been fighting for distinguishing their own cultural identity and increasing the prestige of Silesian dialect that is in common use there. On the one hand, the Silesians’ aspirations for statutory recognition of Silesian language as a regional one have manifested themselves in actions aiming at its linguistic standardization in the scope of grammar and spelling. Whereas on the other hand, they have been seen in political initiatives undertaken by Silesian social activists and members of Parliament. As far as a scientific discussion is concerned, apart from a traditional point of view recognizing Silesian as another dialect of Polish, there appear more and more postulates for replacing linguistic categories of a “language” and “dialect” with a new understanding of the language as it is already functioning in social awareness. In consequence, “Silesian language” should be statutorily recognized, which, in turn, should hasten works on its standardization. Regardless of theoretical opinions and political decisions, “Silesian language” is only just developing grammar and spelling standards, which may occur thanks to integrated actions aimed at creating norms and through regional writing enhancement. Silesian’s prestige will only be increased when it becomes a language of literature and goes beyond a barrier of colloquiality thus increasing a scope of its use to include official situations as well.

The article concerns press headlines in the angling press such as “Tygodnik Wędkarski”, “Wędkarski Świat”, “Wędkarstwo – moje hobby”, “Wędkarstwo”, “Wędkarz Polski”, and “Wiadomości Wędkarskie”. Strategies of headlines’ selection, their structure and advertising function as well as ways of gaining recipients have become a subject of research interest here. It has been found out accordingly that angling press headlines are linguistically diversified. They usually summarize an opinion, sometimes express author’s emotions, occasionally suggest specified actions by way of implication, or appeal to recipient’s knowledge or feelings. They may take a form of a sentence typical of a journalistic style, an elliptical sentence, or a single word of a formal and semantic structure conditioned by the context.

Authors: Pryshlіak Oksana , Polishchuk Vira , Lupak Natalia
Published: March 2021

The proposed research is directed at studying the impact of the intercultural educational space on the formation of intercultural competence of future teachers at a pedagogical higher education institution. To determine the levels of intercultural development, the authors adopted the Intercultural Maturity Model by P. King and M. Baxter Magolda. Having identified the initial, intermediate, and mature levels of intercultural development, the authors analyze the process of completion to the full development of intercultural competence. Experimental research was conducted in 2019 at the Institute of Pedagogics and Psychology at Ternopil Volodymyr Hnatyuk National Pedagogical University, Ukraine. To conduct the study the authors opened the Intercultural Communication Center, whose activity was aimed at modeling and implementation of intercultural educational space at this university. The participants in this study were 63 future teachers (third-year students of the University). The pedagogical experiment included the following stages: preparation, diagnostics, formation, and control. The authors identified the intercultural orientation of the goals of the educational process and tasks at each stage. The following methods were used: analysis, survey, interview, conversation, methods of observation. During the pedagogical experiment, attention was focused on the formation of students’ intercultural abilities according to the content and structure of intercultural competence. The study showed a redistribution of respondents in groups – a significant decrease in the percentage of students on the Initial Development Level (the difference is 55.6%) and an increase on the Intermediate Development Level (the difference is 20.6%) and Mature Development Level (the difference is 34.9%). Statistics allow us to assert the significant dynamics of changes in group indicators by levels of intercultural competence at the beginning and end of the study. The study confirmed the hypothesis that the creation of the intercultural educational space at the higher education institution has a positive effect on the process of intercultural competence formation.
The New Soviet Man With a Female Body: Mother, Teacher, Tractor Driver…
Authors: Kestere Iveta , Stonkuviene Irena , Rubene Zanda
Published: March 2021

The “New Man” is a utopian concept that involves creating an ideal man and replacing the imperfect human being. The beginning of the ideas of creating the new man can be found in ancient Greece and Rome, in the works of utopians and educators, as well as in theological texts. Although this ideologeme as one of the constructs of modernity was fully formed by the end of the 19th century, the efforts to practically implement it are connected with the establishment of (para)totalitarianism. One of the best-known examples of such an attempt was the ambition to create the New Soviet Man. After giving up aspirations to create a perfect biological individual, in the long-term perfective, the main focus was laid on forming an ideologically correct New Man, a builder of communism. Education was seen as one of the key means of achieving this objective. Seeking to identify how the image of the New Man was reflected in the curriculum (primary in particular), 36 textbooks published between 1925–1985 and used in the state schools of Soviet Russia and the Baltic States were analysed.Although the concept of the New Man includes both the male and female person, the most frequently considered is a male. This article aims to discuss how textbooks represent the Soviet woman by considering the following aspects: what was specific to the New Soviet Man – Woman? What did the Soviet regime expect from women in the context of the New Soviet Man project? How did the project of New Man reflect the gender equality idea?
Women in Lithuanian School Management: An Ethnographic Perspective
Authors: Bairašauskienė Lina
Published: March 2021

The research takes on a transdisciplinary approach, focusing on paths of how female school principals construct and develop professional identity. Two major approaches to professional identity include a feminist standpoint and a social constructionist approach. The former claims are that females are underrepresented as leaders in most facets of work life due to gender role stereotypes, prejudices, and unequal power distribution. The latter subscribes to the notion that a person’s identities are multiple and fluid due to their cultural, historic, and social situatedness. According to a feminist standpoint, female identities are developed very differently from their male counterparts as a systemic hierarchy of inequity above the principalship is recognized. Despite the fact that the number of female school principals has been growing in the field of education management, a masculine approach is still being applied in this sphere due to the prevailing dominance of power culture in the society. The study is framed as an ethnographic case study. It aims to understand, investigate, and discover the patterns of how professional identity, as a cultural construct, is acquired in the context of concepts of agency, power relations, subjectivities within gender, and social analysis, encompassing multiple interactions in institutionalized processes and systems by which they are formed, shaped, and reshaped over time.

Published: March 2021

This review paper presents a systematic literature review on the use of Augmented Reality (AR) in engineering education, and specifically in student’s spatial ability training, for the last decade. Researchers have explored the benefits of AR, and its application has been of increasing interest in all levels of education. Engineering students tend to have difficulties in acquiring visualization skills, and hence, AR is gaining momentum in enhancing students’ learning achievements. This paper aims to present valuable information to researchers, tutors and software developers of learning technology systems concerning the advantages and limitations of AR in spatial ability training, the incorporation of adaptivity and personalization in AR applications as well as the aspects of spatial ability having been evaluated using AR and the prevalent evaluation methods for AR applications. To this direction, a total of thirty-two (32) studies were reviewed, having been published since 2010. The findings reveal an increase in the number of studies during the last three years. One major conclusion is the improvement of learners’ spatial ability using AR in educational settings, and the noted challenge is the need for more learning content. One research gap that has been identified is the lack of personalization in the developed applications, offering space for future research. Concluding, this area is under-researched, and thus, there is scope for a lot of improvement.

Published: March 2021

There has been an active movement towards fun learning, using games in education. This article introduces the text-based serious game “Rise of the Java Emperor” that aims to support students in learning basic object-oriented programming concepts using Java. Information concerning the analysis, the design and the pilot evaluation of the game is presented. Thirty-three undergraduate and postgraduate students of an Applied Informatics Department voluntarily played and answered a questionnaire based on the MEEGA+ model, in order to investigate the perceived player experience and short-term learning as well as the acceptance of a text-based programming game by students. The results of the evaluation show that text based games can be both fun and instructional for the field of computer programming. An important issue that requires further research is how this or other programming games can be successfully combined with traditional teaching methods for enhancing the learning of programming.

The effect of post-conditioning with reduced glutathione (GSH, hepaval Italy/Ukraine) on myocardial contractility, oxygen cost, and mitochondrial factor release as a marker of mitochondrial permeability transition pore (MPTP) opening was studied in ischemia–reperfusion model at Langendorffisolated rat heart. It was found that reperfusion with KrebsHenseleit solution containing GSH provided more complete restoration of the left ventricle developed pressure (70.2 and 56% at 5th and 40th min of reperfusion against 23.6 and 30.9% in control, P < 0.05 for both), reduced oxygen cost of myocardial work (184 and 157% at 5th and 40th min of reperfusion against 413 and 216% in control, P < 0.05 for both), and decreased the value of mitochondrial factor by 3 times, indicating inhibition of MPTP. It was shown that the level of GSH in cardiac tissues was significantly increased by 1.5 times 30 min after administration of hepaval (52 mg per kg) intraperitoneally, indicating accumulation of GSH from the bloodstream. Thus, we have shown that post-conditioning with GSH had cardioprotective effect, inhibited the formation of MPTP and can be used as a tool for correction of post-ischemic disturbances of heart function.

The NO-synthase activity (mtNOS) in mitochondria of uterine smooth muscle was studied. The mitochondrial localization of NO synthesis in myocytes was proved using laser confocal microscopy method and specific fluorescent probes MitoTracker Orange (specific to mitochondria) and DAFFM (NO-sensitive fluorescent probe). It was demonstrated using flow cytometry that nitric oxide biosynthesis in isolated mytochondria decreased in the presence of a constitutive NOsynthase blocker 2-aminopyridine (100 μmol per l, 50% inhibition) and monoclonal antibodies (2.5 μg anti-Let m1 per 50 μg protein) against the H+-Ca2+-exchanger (Letm1 protein), but was’t sensitive to the mitochondrial permeability transition pore inhibitor cyclosporin A (5 μmol per l). A decrease of potassium ions concentration in the incubation medium and the presence of various types of potassium channel inhibitors significantly inhibited the NO-synthase reaction. We have concluded that potassium permeability of the inner mitochondrial membrane plays important role in the regulation of mtNOS activity.

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease characterized by memory loss and multiple cognitive impairments. Several decades of intensive research have shown that multicellular changes are involved in AD’s development and progression, including mitochondrial damage, synaptic dysfunction, formation and accumulation of beta-amyloid (Aβ), formation and accumulation of hyperphosphorylated tau protein, and loss of neurons in patients with this disease. Among them, mitochondrial dysfunction and synaptic damage are the primary manifestations in the disease process. Recent studies have also shown that defective mitophagy caused by Aβ and tau protein are the main indicators in AD’s pathogenesis. This review includes an overview of recent researches on the role of mitochondria in AD development. The review summarizes several aspects of mitochondrial dysfunction, including abnormal mitochondrial dynamics, changes in mitochondrial DNA, and calcium dyshomeostasis in AD pathogenesis
Investigation of gps signal amplitude fluctuations depending on meteorological factors when passing through a turbulent atmosphere at low elevation angles over the land
Authors:   O. Ya. Usikov Institute for Radiophysics and Electronics of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Sinitsky, V.
Published: March 2021

Subject and Purpose. The paper investigates tropospherically caused fluctuations of signals from the GPS navigation system while the satellite is beyond the radio horizon. The intensity of GPS signal fluctuations under the influence of meteorological factors is studied, too. The purpose of the work is to determine relationship between the intensity of GPS signal fluctuations and the meteorological conditions when satellite elevation angles are small. Methods and Methodology. The methodology of the work is based on the search for the intensity of amplitude fluctuations of GPS satellite’s signals depending on the meteorological situation. The measurement approach is registration of the GPS satellite’s signal level just before the satellite crosses the horizon. The data processing after a series of experimental studies is based on the extraction of tropospheric fluctuations from the complete GPS signal by the moving average method. Results. Experimental studies of the turbulent component of signals from GPS satellites at low elevation angles have been carried out. It has been revealed that a conventional elevation boundary below which the tropospheric influence is predominant can be established due to the synchronism property which the orbits of the GPS satellites hold. It has been shown that variations in the mean square deviation (MSD) of GPS signal fluctuations caused by the troposphere and extracted from the complete signal are consistent with meteorological parameter changes. Conclusion. Analysis has been carried out to show that a meteorological dependence of the MSD statistics of GPS signal tropospheric fluctuations exists. The intensity of fluctuations rises with the convective activity in the troposphere. The conducted experiments suggest that periods of increased turbulence in the atmosphere can be detected with the use of GPS signals. For this purpose, the optical methods will not do.

Subject and Purpose. The use of spatially structured ferromagnets is promising for designing materials with unique predetermined electromagnetic properties welcome to the development of magnetically controlled microwave and optical devices. The paper addresses the electromagnetic properties of structured ferrite samples of a different shape (spatial geometry) and is devoted to their research by the method of electron spin resonance (ESR). Methods and methodology. The research into magnetic properties of structured ferrite samples was performed by the ESR method. The measurements of transmission coefficient spectra were carried out inside a rectangular waveguide with an external magnetic field applied. Results. We have experimentally shown that over a range of external magnetic field strengths, the frequency of the ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) of grooved ferrite samples (groove type spatial geometry) increases with the groove depth. The FMR frequency depends also on the groove orientation relative to the long side of the sample. We have shown that as the external static magnetic field approaches the saturation field of the ferrite, the FMR frequency dependence on the external static magnetic field demonstrates "jump-like" behavior. And as the magnetic field exceeds the ferrite saturation field, the FMR frequency dependence on the groove depth gets a monotonic character and rises with the further growth of the field strength. Conclusion. We have shown that the use of structured ferrites as microwave electronics components becomes reasonable at magnetic field strengths exceeding the saturation field of the ferrite. At these fields, such a ferrite offers a monotonically increasing dependence of the resonant frequency on the external magnetic field and on the depth of grooves on the ferrite surface. Structured ferrites are promising in the microwave range as components of controlled filters, polarizers, anisotropic ferrite resonators since they can provide predetermined effective permeability and anisotropy
Parameter study of ehf dual-band vibrator antennas with coaxial and two-wire shunts
Authors:   Oles Honchar Dnipro National University, Ovsyanikov V.
Published: March 2021

Subject and Purpose. Two types of new dual-frequency microwave antennas with coaxial and two-wire shunts are considered with a view to improve calculation methods of radio engineering and design parameters of the antennas of the kind. Methods and Methodology. The mathematical methods of equivalent long line and the method of integral equation and optimization of objective functions are used, involving set-point and current values of the voltage standing-wave ratios at the antenna input connectors in the two operating frequency bands. Results. The research and development results have been presented for two variants of dual-frequency (dual-band) vibrator antennas according to whether the shunts are placed inside metal radiating tubes or outside the central conductive rod of the antenna. The shunts are in coaxial and two-wire versions. As applied to the first antenna variant, the method of shunt length optimization upon a minimization of the objective functions yields desired values of antenna electrical parameters (voltage standing-wave ratio, radiation patterns, etc.). For the second antenna variant with both coaxial and two-wire external shunts and provided that the design and operation principle of these antennas are similar, conditions under which the double-frequency mode is possible have been determined for the first time. Conclusion. The proposed method of design and development of tubular dual-frequency vibrator antennas with coaxial shunts has been used to yield a two-frequency circular (elliptical) polarization turnstile antenna as part of sea buoys in the project "Ocean" of the National Space Agency of Ukraine and other spaceborne dual-frequency antennas. The new dual-frequency microstrip antenna discussed in this paper saves us significant drawbacks peculiar to the known dual-frequency antennas and can be used aboard spacecraft and other mobile objects due to its small size.
On kinetics of superconducting state destruction in a nonlinear coplanar waveguide based on a high-temperature superconductor film

Subject and Purpose. The mechanism of destruction of the S-state of a nonlinear high-temperature superconductor as part of a coplanar waveguide has not been properly elucidated as the effect of avalanche-type transition to a highly dissipative state, which was experimentally detected by the authors, takes place. The present work is concerned with the development of an appropriate approach describing kinetics of destruction of the S-state of a nonlinear high-temperature superconductor in a coplanar waveguide with allowances made for an inhomogeneous distribution of the microwave current in the superconducting film strip. Methods and Methodology. Use of I.B. and O.G. Vendiks’ reasoning [2] is made on kinetics of the destruction of the superconducting state of a wide film when a direct current governed by the time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau equation is applied. Keeping unchanged their idea as to the S–N boundary forming in the film strip with the boundary movement to the middle of the strip, the S–N boundary motion equation is obtained for a coplanar waveguide, proceeding in doing this from the motion equation of magnetic flux vortices under certain restrictions specified. Results. The time of S-state destruction has been numerically estimated: 1) for a wide superconducting film of YBa2Cu3O7–d composition, the destruction is by the direct current and 2) for a coplanar waveguide based on the same film, the destruction is by the microwave current. When the superconductivity is small (I / I c ³ 1), the destruction time values in both cases are close to each other within the order of magnitude. Conclusion. It is for the first time that the S-state destruction time in a coplanar waveguide has been expressed in terms of the microwave current distribution in the waveguide. It has been shown that this characteristic linearly depends on the ratio between the critical current and the microwave current amplitude in contrast to a quadratic dependence obtained for a superconducting strip with a direct current.

Published: March 2021

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:

Between December 31, 2018, and April 26, 2019, 72 confirmed cases of measles were identified in Clark County. Our objective was to estimate the economic burden of the measles outbreak from a societal perspective, including public health response costs as well as direct medical costs and productivity losses of affected individuals.

METHODS:

To estimate costs related to this outbreak from the societal perspective, 3 types of costs were collected or estimated: public health response (labor, material, and contractor costs used to contain the outbreak), direct medical (third party or patient out-of-pocket treatment costs of infected individuals), and productivity losses (costs of lost productivity due to illness, home isolation, quarantine, or informal caregiving).

RESULTS:

The overall societal cost of the 2019 Clark County measles outbreak was ∼$3.4 million ($47 479 per case or $814 per contact). The majority of the costs (∼$2.3 million) were incurred by the public health response to the outbreak, followed by productivity losses (∼$1.0 million) and direct medical costs (∼$76 000).

CONCLUSIONS:

Recent increases in incident measles cases in the United States and across the globe underscore the need to more fully understand the societal cost of measles cases and outbreaks and economic consequences of undervaccination. Our estimates can provide valuable inputs for policy makers and public health stakeholders as they consider budget determinations and the substantial value associated with increasing vaccine coverage and outbreak preparedness as well as the protection of society against vaccine-preventable diseases, such as measles, which are readily preventable with high vaccination coverage.

Published: March 2021

The purpose of the study was to investigate the efficacy of Mastodynon in terms of indications in elevated doses versus the standard dose. Materials and methods. Data were analyzed for 60 patients after surgical treatment of fibro-cystic mastopathy. Depending on the postoperative therapy received by the patients, they were divided into three groups. Group I (n = 20): patients were observed in accordance with the standards established in mammal practice and did not receive special agents that affect hormonal homeostasis. Group II (n = 20): In addition to observation, patients received Mastodynon® (1 tablet or 30 drops 2 times a day) for 6 months. Group III (n = 20): Patients were given for a post-operative rehabilitation Mastodynon® in a double dose (2 tablets or 60 drops 2 times a day) for 6 months. Results Surgical treatment without conservative therapy eliminates organic changes in the thoracic glands (GH), but hormonal disorders that have led to pathologic and histological changes in the tissues of GZ continue to exist for a long time and can lead to repeated nodal formations. In group І, 25% of patients within 2 years performed repeated sectoral resections on recurrence of nodule formation. In group І, 25% of patients within 2 years performed repeated sectoral resections on recurrence of nodule formation. The use of Mastodynon® in standard doses (group II) for postoperative rehabilitation contributes to a significant improvement in hormonal homeostasis (normalization of prolactin, estradiol and progesterone levels), a 24.7 mm decrease in the degree of cyclic mastodynia according to the visual analog scale (VAS), and the improvement of ultrasound scan Pictures of GZ in 75% of patients. The most pronounced effect of this rehabilitation approach after the surgical treatment phase was noted for the use of Mastodynone in doble doses (2 tablets or 60 drops 2 times a day) in Group III. In these patients, the degree of reduction of cyclic mastodynia was 30 mm for VAS and positive changes in the tissues of GH were noted in 85% of patients. However, the highest incidence of adverse events was also noted in Group III, although they were temporary in nature and did not require withdrawal or dose reduction. Conclusion. Despite the presence of short-term side effects and rapid rebounding in the double-dose Mastodynon® group, our study showed better results than standard doses, faster and more stable therapeutic effect. Taking into account the results obtained, it can be argued that the use of high doses of Mastodynon® may be recommended to patients for the treatment of mastopathy. For a more complete study of such an important aspect as the tolerability of high doses of Mastodynon®, it is advisable to conduct more extensive studies, taking into account the dosage form and the use of other drugs. Key words: mastopathy, postoperative rehabilitation, Mastodynon®, mastodynia.

The objective: to evaluate the outpatient treatment of chronic pelvic inflammatory diseases of fertile aged women caused by mixed infection, including Chlamydia. Patients and methods. We examined 100 women chronic pelvic inflammatory diseases determining vaginal microbiota condition before and after treatment. Provided research of efficiency in the treatment of drug containing ciprofloxacin – and ornidazole 500 mg – 500 mg (Ortsypol) in women with chronic pelvic inflammatory diseases in lower levels of genital tract. Analysis of the vaginal bacterial spectrum and records of the results was performed according to the order number 234 of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine 2005 Results. Our results have shown that most women suffered from chronic pelvic inflammatory diseases in lower level of genital tract during one year (30%), slightly less women had disease duration of 3 years (27%) and 5 years (25%). Among other gynecological diseases in examined women often diagnosed cervical erosion (14%) and the polycystic ovarian syndrome (18%). Often diagnosed ovarian cysts (10%), endometriosis (11%) and endometrial hyperplasia (9%). Examination of vaginal mikrobiome in fertile aged women with chronic pelvic inflammatory diseases showed increased number of resident microflora and STIs, mainly: Chlamidya trahomatis (25%), Ureaplasma urealiticum (23%). We observed significant reduction of the number of pathogenic and conditionally pathogenic microflora in fertile aged women with chronic pelvic inflammatory diseases after treatment rizke. Conclusion. 1. The most common cause of vaginal dysbiosis in women that were attending outpatient clinic, were sexually transmitted infections, among which most commonly we diagnosed Chlamidya trahomatis. 2. In the development of inflammatory reactions in reproductive organs and chronic pelvic inflammatory diseases main role plays microbial and viral and microbial associations in which Chlamidya trahomatis and Ureaplasma urealiticum are present. 3. Use of a complex chronic pelvic inflammatory diseases treatment of lower genital tract using Ortsypol shown to be highly effective (95%).

The objective: to evaluate the clinical manifestations of reproductive health and quality of life (QOL) disorders in women of reproductive age with high comorbidity against subclinical hypothyroidism (SHT) and manifest hypothyroidism (MHT). Materials and methods. 113 cases of SHT (1st group) and 65 cases of MHT (2 nd group) in women of reproductive age were analyzed. The diagnosis of hypothyroidism is established on the basis of data of anamnesis, physical examination, ultrasound of the thyroid gland and determination of thyroid-stimulating hormone levels and free thyroxine in the blood by electroluminescence. Results. Assessment of QoL using the MOS SF-36 questionnaire was performed in women of reproductive age with SHT, with a high (61.9%) level of menstrual irregularities, gynecological (74.3%) and extragenital (82.3%) diseases, which indicates High comorbidity. It was revealed mainly the average values of QoL on almost all scales, except for emotional functioning. In women with MHT, with extremely high comorbidity (in 100% of cases), the QL values were reduced and only on the scale of "pain" - within the average. The conclusion. The data obtained make it possible to recommend the definition of quality of life indicators in women of reproductive age with subclinical hypothyroidism in the practice of a gynecologist as an integral characteristic of health. Key words: subclinical hypothyroidism, menstrual irregularities, comorbid conditions, quality of life, MOS SF-36 questionnaire, integral health indicators.
