Factors Influencing Vocation to Brotherhood in Holy Cross Congregation District of East Africa
Authors: Rogers Kakeeto , Omollo Fredrick , Ikpe Remigius
Published: September 2021

Purpose: The general objective of the study is to assess the factors influencing the rate of vocation to be a brother in Holy Cross Congregation in East Africa. The objectives that guided the study are; to explore how social status influence vocation to be a brother; to examine how the factor of being a clerical congregation may be influencing vocation to a brother; to determine how the need for professional career satisfaction influences vocation to be a brother, to  investigate how different motivations influences vocation to be a brother and  to identify possible ways of responding to challenges of vocation to be a brother in Holy Cross Congregation in East Africa.

Methodology: The study used convergent parallel approach to the mixed methods research design. The target population in this study is107 and used Total Population Sampling to study the 107 respondents. The study used interview guide and self-administered questionnaire for data collection. The quantitative data will be coded and analyzed systematically and presented using figure, percentages and chats. The qualitative data was analyzed according to the emerging themes and the results of both the quantitative and qualitative findings were compared to draw out their significance for the study.

Findings: The study established that social status, lack of awareness and perception that clerical vocation is more prestigious and glamorous than that of brotherhood are some of the factors affecting reduced vocations in brotherhood.

Unique contribution to theory, policy, and practice: The study recommends the need for a rigorous promotion of brotherhood vocations, training of brothers as professionals, uplift the status of brothers and put in place proper discernment of vocations to reduce the high rate of brothers’ turnover
Indigenous Culture and Western Christianity: An Assessment of Wimbum Experience with the Baptist Mission, 1927-2008
Authors: Talla Richard Tanto
Published: September 2021

Purpose: The advent and spread of Baptist Mission Christianity in Mbumland from 1927 constituted one of the major determinants of cultural transformation in the area. The process was catalysed by the multifaceted nature of the Baptist Mission’s approach at Proselytization – evangelism, education and health. As a consequence, knowledge of Baptist Mission activities in Mbumland and beyond was commonplace.  Like most write-ups with ethnocentric slant, incipient literature on Christianity in Mbumland, emphasized the debilitating effects of the impinging culture on indigenous cultural life ways.

Methodology: This article employs primary and authoritative secondary data to argue that the spread of the Baptist faith in Mbumland between 1927 and 2008 rather led to culture sharing as the contemporary practice of the faith exuded a blend of both cultures.

Results: The study therefore demonstrates that while Mbumland was being Christianised, Christianity itself imbibed Wimbum values and adopted an indigenous complexion specially to suit the practical circumstances.

Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: The study positions itself within a peculiar academic niche which emphasizes that the advent of the Baptist Mission in Mbumland led to indigenous culture simultaneously affecting and being affected by Christian values. While extant works in this thematic specialisation have often either emphasized the effects of one of the variables on the other, the peculiarity of this work is its midway position which spotlights the sharing mechanisms wherein, indigenous culture affected and was being affected by Christian values since the advent of the Baptist Mission in Mbumland.

Conceitos valorativos na leitura de tirinha de quadrinhos
Authors: Cortez dos Santos Kátia Roseane , Menegassi Renilson José
Published: September 2021

A partir do componente valorativo como algo intrínseco ao existir humano e à linguagem, empreendemos, neste artigo, uma reflexão analítica sobre os conceitos axiológicos do dialogismo – juízo de valor, situação extraverbal, entonação – advindos dos estudos do Círculo de Bakhtin, com ênfase aos dois últimos, em específico. A reflexão tem por base uma concepção dialógica da linguagem, com destaque na abordagem sócio-histórica, e se apresenta de três formas: a) pela discussão teórica sobre axiologia; b) pela análise de um texto do gênero Tirinha de Quadrinhos, em que se investiga as noções de valor consubstanciada no texto escolhido; c) pela elaboração de perguntas de leitura para o gênero analisado, com o foco no ensino de leitura em sala de aula. Na análise da Tirinha de Quadrinhos selecionada, consideramos principalmente os enunciados verbalizados, o extraverbal e a entoação, observamos os juízos de valores diferentes sobre o lugar que a comunidade negra pode e deve ocupar em nossa sociedade.
Aquisição de inglês como L3 por surdos brasileiros usuários de Libras como L1: considerações teórico-pedagógicas
Authors: Silva Maria Clara Corsini , Hübner Lilian Cristine
Published: September 2021

Este artigo tem como objetivo discutir questões metodológicas relacionadas à aquisição de terceira língua (L3) por sujeitos surdos usuários nativos da Libras (L1), do Português Brasileiro como segunda língua (L2) e aprendizes de inglês ou outra língua adicional como terceira língua (L3), a partir de uma revisão de literatura. Embora a Libras tenha sido oficializada no Brasil pela Lei nº 10.436 de 2002, os estudos que investigam a aquisição de línguas adicionais por esses aprendizes, em especial de uma L3, são ainda incipientes, assim como são os debates sobre como se dá o seu processo de ensino e aprendizagem. Destaca-se a ênfase em métodos visuais para o alcance da literacia por aprendizes surdos e na associação entre a língua alvo e a Libras.
Divisão simbólica e avaliação social: uma análise da letra da canção “Latinoamérica”
Authors: De Souza Nathan Bastos
Published: September 2021

O objetivo deste artigo é estudar os sentidos da letra da canção “Latinoamérica”, da banda porto-riquenha Calle 13. A abordagem teórica foi desenvolvida com base nos estudos de Wacquant (2004) sobre o conceito de gueto, de Rama (2015) sobre a divisão simbólica e geográfica em torno de uma cidade das letras e nos estudos a respeito da avaliação social, com Medviédev (2012) e Volochínov (2013). Nossa análise desemboca em três caminhos: o primeiro, em que há a emergência de uma identidade de um continente em embate com uma alteridade opressora, o locutor se mistura corporalmente ao continente; o segundo caminho é introduzido no movimento de nossa análise como um enfrentamento direto ao interlocutor; e o terceiro eixo de nossa análise encaminha a construção de uma identidade coletiva. Por fim, “Latinoamérica” canta seu hino de resistência como garantia de um futuro de comunhão e luta conjunta latino-americana.
“O tolo fala. O sábio escuta”: ironia e provérbios em prol da persuasão
Authors: Figueiredo Maria Flávia , Pimenta Ticiano Jardim
Published: September 2021

Em sua gênese, a Retórica era utilizada como ferramenta analítica para o estudo das especificidades persuasivo-argumentativas dos discursos públicos (especialmente no âmbito político e judicial). Com a evolução dos meios comunicacionais, esse campo do conhecimento expandiu seus limites de análise para discursos que extrapolam a expressão verbal. Neste artigo, buscamos demonstrar como a Retórica pode ser utilizada para investigar um discurso proveniente de uma prática comum de nossos dias: a postagem e o consumo de vídeos em sites de compartilhamento. Assim, com base em um vídeo extraído do YouTube, analisamos como um orador pode persuadir seu auditório por meio do humor. Quanto à metodologia, uma análise qualitativa, que se fundamenta em pressupostos retóricos, paremiológicos e linguístico-discursivos, será empregada. Perscrutaremos, com mais ênfase, as estratégias retórico-discursivas utilizadas pelo orador, notadamente a figura da ironia e o deslindamento de enunciados proverbiais, e ponderaremos acerca do alcance retórico-argumentativo de tais estratégias.
Trajeto do termo inovação nos instrumentos de avaliação institucional do SINAES
Authors: Daltoé Andréia da Silva , Batista da Silva Dâmaris de Oliveira
Published: September 2021

A palavra inovação, dirigida às universidades por órgãos reguladores do Estado, não pode ser compreendida desvinculada de sua condição material, histórica e ideológica.  Ao mesmo tempo, tal condição não a torna um defeito a exigir a substituição por uma outra palavra. Procurando refletir sobre as filiações que determinam inovação nestas condições, é que objetivamos analisar o trajeto de sentidos sobre inovação nos instrumentos de avaliação institucional dirigidos pelo SINAES às universidades, a partir do referencial da Análise do Discurso de linha materialista (AD). Como corpus de análise, observamos a demanda por inovação social nos instrumentos de avaliação institucional do SINAES de 2014 e de 2017, quando da atualização do instrumento, substituindo inovação social por inovação tecnológica. Considerando que as substituições e/ou silenciamentos não deixam de fazer sentido no jogo dito/não-dito, julgamos que, por meio destes documentos, é possível investigar se tal deslocamento desobriga a universidade de inovar socialmente, para levá-la apenas a produzir inovação tecnológica com vistas ao mercado.
Entre a linguística e a didática: desenvolvimento integrado de aprendizagens no 1.º ciclo do ensino básico em Portugal
Authors: Morgado Celda , Costa José António Costa , Lopes Ana Sofia do Carmo Lopes , Ferreira Juliana Ferreira
Published: September 2021

Ser professor implica uma formação de base específica, que, segundo Shulman (1987), assenta-se na interseção entre o conhecimento pedagógico e o conhecimento do conteúdo, numa triangulação com o conhecimento do contexto. Uma formação docente baseada neste quadro teórico favorecerá o desenvolvimento de práticas mais sustentadas e atualizadas, determinantes para o desenvolvimento de competências múltiplas e para a abordagem de vários conteúdos (trans)disciplinares. Neste artigo, refletiremos sobre as pontes possíveis e necessárias entre a Linguística e a Didática, advogando uma inseparabilidade entre o ensino da língua e da literatura nos primeiros anos de ensino formal. Apresentaremos como evidências a análise de conteúdo de um percurso semanal integrador para os 1.º e 2.º anos de escolaridade do programa #EstudoEmCasa, decorrido durante o primeiro confinamento em Portugal, no quadro da pandemia provocada pela COVID-19.

Published: September 2021

Este estudo objetivou mapear e analisar escalas existentes na literatura nacional sobre comprometimento organizacional. A pesquisa contou com duas etapas: (i) pesquisa bibliográfica, na qual foram mapeadas as publicações sobre o tema, abrangendo o período de 1990 a 2020; e (ii) mapeamento e análise das escalas a nível nacional, buscando verificar aspectos relacionados à formulação de itens, escala de respostas e procedimento de validação. Foram analisadas 314 publicações a partir da busca nas principais bases e sites dos periódicos brasileiros e verificou-se que os anos de 2008 a 2018 foram os dez anos mais produtivos no Brasil, com 213 trabalhos. Identificou-se a predominância das medidas que se baseiam no modelo tridimensional, porém é significativa a produção de escalas que vão além desse modelo, propondo mais dimensões em alguns casos e uma perspectiva unidimensional em outros. Como limitação, destaca-se a não comparação sistematizada de índices psicométricos entre todas as escalas propostas, devido à indisponibilidade de tais dados em alguns estudos analisados.

Published: September 2021

Highways and Hierarchies: Ethnographies of Mobility from the Himalaya to the Indian Ocean explores the contemporary proliferation of roads in South Asia and the Tibet-Himalaya region, showing how new infrastructures simultaneously create fresh connections and reinforce existing inequalities. Bringing together ethnographic studies on the social politics of road development and new mobilities in twenty-first-century Asia, this edited collection demonstrates that while new roads generate new forms of hierarchy, older forms of hierarchy are remade and re-established in creative and surprising new ways. Focused on South Asia but speaking to more global phenomena, the chapters collectively reveal how road planning, construction and usage routinely yield a simultaneous reinforcement and disruption of social, political and economic relations.
Materialized Identities in Early Modern Culture, 1450-1750
Authors: Burghartz Susanna , Burkart Lucas , Göttler Christine , Rublack Ulinka , Hanß Stefan , Bond Katherine , Scuro Rachele , Seehafer Michèle
Published: September 2021

This collection embraces the increasing interest in the material world of the Renaissance and the early modern period, which has both fascinated contemporaries and initiated in recent years a distinguished historiography. The scholarship within is distinctive for engaging with the agentive qualities of matter, showing how affective dimensions in history connect with material history, and exploring the religious and cultural identity dimensions of the use of materials and artefacts. It thus aims to refocus our understanding of the meaning of the material world in this period by centring on the vibrancy of matter itself.

To achieve this goal, the authors approach "the material" through four themes – glass, feathers, gold paints, and veils – in relation to specific individuals, material milieus, and interpretative communities. In examining these four types of materialities and object groups, which were attached to different sensory regimes and valorizations, this book charts how each underwent significant changes during this period.

Traumatic Brain Injury presents a global health concern, as it has become one of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide. Non-contrast head computed tomography (CT) scans have been used widely as a diagnostic tool in acute head injury because they are cost-effective, widely available, and detect haemorrhages with high sensitivity. We aimed to study the prevalence of intra and extra axial haemorrhages in patients presenting with head injury in and around Kanchipuram district of Tamil Nadu and also to further identify the commoner types of intracranial haemorrhages associated with such injuries. A retrospective observational study was conducted in the Department Of Radiology, Saveetha Medical College and Hospital for a period of 6 months. Image data from CT scans of the brain were obtained for 50 patients presenting with skull trauma and clinical suspicion of intracranial haemorrhage during the time period from January 2020 to May 2020 and were studied. Based on our study, out of the 50 subjects included it was observed that in the setting of traumatic head injury extra axial hemorrhages are more common than intra axial hemorrhages. Among the type of extra axial hemorrhage , extra dural hemorrhage was far more common than subdural and sub arachnoid hemorrhage especially in presence of skull fractures.

RECONSTRUCTION OF LARGE ANTERIOR SKULL BASE DEFECTS AFTER RESECTION OF SINONASAL TUMORS WITH INTRACRANIAL EXTENSION BY USING PEDICLED DOUBLE FLAP TECHNIQUES
Authors: Van Cong Ngo
Published: September 2021

Background:          Surgical resection of a large anterior skull base (ASB) tumor and sinonasal maglinancies with intracranial extension will result a large skull base defect. Reconstruction of large ASB defects by using traditional techniques may result in high risk of postoperative CSF leakage, meningitis and increase mortality rate. The use of pedicled double flap technique to reconstruct the anterior skull base defect may decrease the complications. In this study, we examine the clinical outcomes of patients who underwent this double flap reconstruction technique after the resection of sinonasal malignancies with significant intracranial extension at Cho Ray hospital, Vietnam. Methods:            Case series study was conducted at Cho Ray hospital from 09/2010 to 09/2020. All patients with large sinonasal malignancies with intracranial invasion underwent combined transbasal - EEA approach. Reconstruction of large skull base defect ( > 2 cm ) was followed by using the pedicled double flap technique. Results:          There were 75 patients who underwent the modified multi-layer with double flap reconstruction technique after the resection of ASB tumor from 09/2010 to 09/2020. The skull base defects were commonly seen at the horizontal plate of the ethmoid and the roof of the ethmoid ( 98.6%). The large skull base defects ( > 2cm) accounted for 81.3%. The risk of postoperative CSF leakage after double flap repair was very low. In this study, we had 1 patient with postoperative CSF leakage and 1 patient had postoperative meningitis. Conclusion: The use of two vascularize pedicled flap may decrease the incidence of postoperative cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) leakage and meningitis. This technique is an effective method for the reconstruction of the ASB with large defect.
Unravelling the Factors Influencing Construction Organisations’ Intention to Adopt Big Data Analytics in South Africa
Authors: Aghimien Douglas Omoregie , Ikuabe Matthew , Aigbavboa Clinton , Oke Ayodeji , Shirinda Wealthy
Published: September 2021

The construction industry has been producing massive data that can be transformed for improved decision-making and better construction project delivery. However, the industry has been adjudged as a slow adopter of digital technologies such as big data analytics (BDA) to improve its service delivery. The implication of this slow adoption is the lack of innovativeness and unsustainable project delivery that has characterised the industry in most countries, particularly in developing ones like South Africa. Therefore, this study assessed the intention to adopt BDA by construction organisations using the unified theory of technology adoption and use of technology (UTAUT) model. A post-positivism philosophical stance was employed, which informed the use of quantitative research with a questionnaire designed to solicit information from construction organisations in South Africa. Data analysis was done using Cronbach alpha to test for reliability and Fuzzy Synthetic Evaluation to evaluate the impact of the different constructs of the UTAUT on the adoption of BDA by construction organisations in South Africa. The study found that variables relating to facilitating conditions, performance expectancy, and social influence will significantly impact an organisation’s intention to adopt BDA. However, issues surrounding effort expectancy, resistance to use, and perceived risk cannot be overlooked as they also have high impact levels. The study provides an excellent theoretical and practical contribution to the existing discourse on construction digitalisation.
Drivers of Applying Ecological Modernization to Construction Waste Minimization in New South Wales Construction Industry
Authors: Al-Hamadani Sulala , Egbelakin Temitope , Sher Willy , Von Meding Jason
Published: September 2021

The application of ecological modernization (EM) (to delink industry growth from environmental damage) to minimize construction waste has not been explored within the construction industry in general, and the New South Wales (NSW) construction industry in particular. This study seeks to identify the drivers of applying EM to construction waste minimisation (CWM) in the industry. Also, to determine the CWM measures that are critical for each of the drivers. A survey was adopted in this study to target stakeholders engaged in the delivery of construction projects in NSW from design to completion. The survey was selected to reach a large number of respondents within a manageable period. A pilot study was conducted to ensure the reliability of the research design before a full-scale data collection was launched. The data from 240 valid responses was analysed using factor analysis, relative importance index and descriptive statistics. The results revealed five important drivers for EM’s application to CWM. These are agents of change, government policies, supply chain dynamics, skill-building and technological innovations. The CWM measures that are critical for each of these drivers were also identified. The study provides insights into the application of EM to address the construction industry problem of waste generation as by-product of its growth. It also shows the ability to protect the environment while enabling continuous economic growth. Furthermore, it demonstrates the applicability of EM to minimize the construction waste of NSW construction industry.
Enzyme activity in assessing the effects of fumigation with soil smoke
Authors:   ООО ", Saakian Alexander ,   БАЛАНС ПРОФИ"
Published: September 2021

Abstract As a result of fires, in addition to the fire itself and high temperatures, smoke from combustion products has a significant effect on the biota. The aim of the work was to assess the effect of fumigation with combustion products of plant origin on the biology activity of ordinary chernozem. In a series of model experiments, the reaction of soil enzymes (catalase, peroxidase, polyphenol oxidase, invertase, urease, phosphatase) to the smoke of the studied soil with products of thermal decomposition of plant materials (foliage, needles, straw, wood chips) is shown. A significant decrease in the enzyme activity of the studied enzymes was revealed in the range from 7% to 33%, depending on the time spent under the smoke of chernozem (15–120 minutes). The highest sensitivity to fumigation was noted for enzymes of the class of oxidoreductases: catalase, polyphenoloxidase, and peroxidase. Thus, a significant sensitivity and information content of the indicators of the enzyme activity of soils on the effect of smoke has been established, which can be used in monitoring the consequences of fires.

Published: September 2021

Il est largement reconnu que de saines habitudes de vie peuvent contribuer au bien-être des individus à long terme etréduire le risque de développer plusieurs maladies chroniques. Le développement de telles habitudes peut être favorisépar l’utilisation d’outils numériques conçus à cette fin, à la condition que ceux-ci soient efficaces et acceptés par les populations cibles. Or, les nombreuses connaissances scientifiques pouvant éclairer la conception de tels outils sont issuesd’une grande variété de disciplines : de la psychologie au génie logiciel, en passant par la santé publique, l’économie etl’éthique. Ensemble, ces connaissances forment actuellement un champ de recherche très éclaté, ce qui limite la possibilité de bien considérer tous les principes et données probantes les plus récentes qui en ressortent. La présente lettreouverte est donc un plaidoyer en faveur de l’adoption d’une approche plus intégrée en recherche sur le développementd’outils numériques favorisant de saines habitudes de vie. L’état actuel de ces recherches est d’abord abordé, puis lesconséquences de leur faible intégration sont considérées. Enfin, quelques pistes prometteuses, face à cet enjeu, sontsuggérées.
Are Local Food Systems Vectors of Sustainable Choices?
Authors:   Petroleum-Gas University of Ploieşti, Romania, Ene Corina
Published: September 2021

In the last few years, but even more so given the context the COVID-19 pandemic, a large series of global and local changes have occurred in all areas of life, including the way food is perceived and procured. The orientation towards local food as a preferred choice has gained more followers which are interested in economic, social and environmental effects of the way the world uses all kinds of resources to meet its nutritional needs. Local food involves a special kind of food systems approach in terms of determining factors and resulting implications for all actors involved. The paper deals with emphasizing different aspects of local food systems, including both agri-food producers and consumer’s drivers together with the effects of rethinking the way people choose to procure their food. The link to sustainable development is clearly highlighted using the multiple implications of this agri-food system upon different sectors and dimensions.

Authors:   Osun State University, Nigeria, Isayomi Abiodun Samuel , Akintunde Temitope Sade ,   Osun State University, Nigeria
Published: September 2021

Developing countries in the factor-driven stage of development are usually bedevilled by domestic supply-side constraints which hinder translation of their comparative advantages to development. This study examines the domestic supply-side determinants to intra-Africa export performance in selected African countries. The study analysed 1994 to 2019 panel data of the biggest economies in each of the five African sub-regions, using pooled mean group (PMG) technique. The result from the study revealed capital formation, institutional quality, macroeconomic stability, technology adoption and infrastructure as significant long-run determinants of intra-Africa export performance while size of labour force was found to be insignificant long-run determinant of intra-Africa export share. All short-run coefficients of explanatory variables except one period lag of infrastructure and capital formation were insignificant. The coefficient of error correction term was negative and statistically significant. Based on the findings of this study macroeconomic stability, infrastructural development, pro-market institutions, capital formation and technology adoption are imperative for intra-Africa export performance in the studied countries.
Tax Mediation – an Alternative to the Resolution of Disputes between Taxpayers and the Local Tax Administration
Authors:   Bucharest Academy of Economic Studies, Doctoral School of Management, Bucharest, Sandu Dorina
Published: September 2021

Local taxes and fees are of interest to both the public authorities and the taxpayer. The level of local taxes and fees guides the way the local budget is prepared and outlines the main investment objectives at the community level. The taxpayer has become increasingly interested in what he pays in local taxes and fees because he has realized that this effort on his part must be reflected in the level of well-being of the community in which he lives. This study aims at an analysis of tax mediation in Romania, as a distinct, special, and voluntary procedure between the tax institution and the debtor taxpayer, without the presence of the mediator as a third person, neutral and independent, comparing the institution of tax mediator in Romania with other EU countries presentation of the stages of mediation and its advantages in favor of both parties. The reality proves that there are numerous situations when fiscal administrative acts issued by the local taxes and fees service are the object of appeals before the issuing public authorities and the administrative-fiscal contentious courts. It complicates the activity of both local public authorities and courts, adds time consumption and financial costs, and fiscal mediation proves to be an optimal solution.

One of the pathogenic mechanisms of the development of cough is the formation of viscous sputum difficult to separate. Against the background of a pathological process in the lungs, there is a disruption in the work of muco- ciliary clearance and peristalsis of the bronchi, and in the mucous secretion of the respiratory tract, the ratio of ions dissolved in water and macromolecular compounds is disturbed, which leads to an increase in viscosity, a decrease in the rheological properties of sputum. In connection with this, not only the drainage function of the bronchi is disrupted, but also local immune processes, which also contributes to an increase in the adhesion of infectious agents. In this case, the rational use of expectorant drugs as part of the complex therapy contributes not only to reducing the duration of the disease, but also prevents the formation of chronic diseases of the respiratory system. The article discusses the pathogenetic mechanisms of the onset of cough, the classification of expectorant drugs, which includes various pharmacological classes of drugs, with fundamentally different effects. The mechanism of action, indications, contraindications, as well as clinical and pharmacological features of the use of drugs stimulating expectoration of resorptive, reflex action, mucolytics of synthetic origin, enzyme, mucoregulators, combined drugs available on our market are described, recommendations are given on their use in clinical practice.

Research objective. Calculate the injury rates among conscripts during 2003-2019 years using an integral assessment to improve medical support and ensure the security of military service. Materials and methods. We studied annual medical reports about health status and morbidity of conscripts in the Armed Forces of the Republic of Belarus (form №3/med) for 2003-2019. Results. Average annual injury rate among conscripts in 2003-2019 was 20.64±2.03%, proportion in the structure of primary morbidity for all chapters of ICD-10 was 1.3±0.1%, hospitalizations - 14.74±0.98% and 1.6±0.2%, days away from work - 325.2±17.3% and 3.9±0.3%, dismission rates - 0.56±0.05% and 3.5±0.3%, mortality - 25.20±4,42per 100 000 conscripts and 75.1±5.7%, respectively. With different in significance coefficients of determination polynomial trends of the listed medical and statistical indicators demonstrate a data decrease. In the structure of the constructed integral assessment 83.8% accounted for the sum of the proportions of injuries of the shoulder girdle and upper limbs (group 8-10), pelvis and lower limbs (group 5-7), head injuries (group 1), injuries affecting several areas of the body (group 11), consequences of trauma, poisoning and other influences of external causes (group 22). Conclusion. Analysis of the data on injuries of conscripts using an integral assessment will improve medical support, in order to maintain health, conduct targeted and high-quality prevention of injuries while ensuring the safety of military service.

Objective. to develop independent predictors for predicting long-term myocardial infarction (MI) in patients (pts) with unstable angina (UA) after coronary artery stenting (PCI) based on the results of a seven-year follow-up. Materials and Methods. The study involved 165 pts with UA and coronary artery stenting (PCI). PCI was performed in 3.2±1.6 days after admission to the in-patient department. Drug-coated stents (Xience V and Biomatrix) were used, the average number of stents was 2.1±0.8 per person, the average length of the stented area was 43.12±25.6 mm, and the average diameter of the implanted stents was 3.12±0.5 mm. All patients were assessed for troponin I, myeloperoxidase, and C-reactive protein levels; coagulation hemostasis was assessed; and a thrombin generation test was performed. The aggregatogram was performed on the analyzer Multiplate (ASPI-test, ADP-test). The patients underwent echocardiography, coronary angiography. Double antithrombotic therapy with clopidogrel 75 mg and acetylsalicylic acid 75 mg was prescribed for 12 months. The follow-up period was 7±1.6 years. Results. Repeated UA developed in 91 (55.2%) pts during a 7-year follow-up period, myocardial infarction was registered in 21 (12.7%) pts. Cardiovascular mortality was 7.3%. Independent predictors of MI risk included: baseline D-dimer level ≥796 ng/ml AUC 0.766 (RR 5.272; 95% CI 2,125-13,082), endogenous thrombin potential ≥2294.5 nM*min AUC 0.912 (RR 4,769; 95% CI 2,457-10,546), N-terminal fragment of brain natriuretic peptide (NTproBNP) ≥816 pg/ml AUC 0.794 (RR 1,935; 95% CI 1,218-3.075), homocysteine level ≥16 µmol/l AUC 0.707 (RR 1.971; 95% CI 1.140-3.406), highly sensitive C-reactive protein ≥6.4 g/l AUC 0.790 (RR 1.333; 95% CI 1.081-1.644), number of affected arteries≥ 3 AUC 0.714 (RR 2.129; 95% CI 1.237-2.664). The developed model for predicting myocardial infarction included the initial level of endogenous thrombin potential≥2294.5 nM * min, D-dimers ≥796 ng / ml, and the number of affected coronary arteries≥ 3. For the developed model, the AUC was 0.964, which corresponds to the excellent quality of the model. Conclusion. The prognosis of myocardial infarction in patients with unstable angina and stenting of the coronary arteries receiving the standard antiplatelet therapy involves laboratory criteria that reflect the activation of the hemostatic system and the residual thrombogenic risk.
