The problem of toxoplasmosis in outpatient practice. Part I. Toxoplasmosis in immunocompetent patients
Authors: Vasiliev Valerii V. , Kuznetsov Nikolai I. , Startseva Galina Yu.
Published: July 2023

Acute toxoplasmosis in immunocompetent persons most often proceeds subclinically and ends with the formation of latent toxoplasmosis, which does not require therapy and observation. The presence of clinical signs of a long-term disease forces an extensive diagnostic search to exclude/confirm chronic toxoplasmosis. In the treatment of toxoplasmosis in persons without immunodeficiency, repeated courses of antiprotozoal drugs are used, which do not guarantee clinical recovery and the absence of relapses. Perinatal aspects of toxoplasmosis will be discussed in a future publication.
A child with pain syndrome in the office of the general practitioner
Authors: Delyagin Wassily M.
Published: July 2023

Pain as a problem of a pediatrician and a family doctor is very common, often requiring interdisciplinary and interprofessional approaches. The first step in optimizing pain management is its assessment and characteristics, taking into account the age and development of the patient. The priority is self-reported pain. Objectification of the characteristics of pain is achieved by using scales, including, if possible, with an objective instrumental and laboratory assessment. Various options for pain assessment scales are presented. Treatment is based on the elimination of the cause of pain, the use of drug and non-drug interventions. Information is given about the age-related characteristics of the reaction to analgesics and recommendations for their use. The planning and implementation of strategies for treating pain in children should be personalized and family oriented.

What is “normal left ventricular ejection fraction” and its relationship with the pathogenesis and effectiveness of the treatment of heart failure
Authors: Ageev F. T. , Ovchinnikov A. G. , Ageeva S. F. , Mareev V. Yu.
Published: July 2023

The article focuses on modern views on the role and place of left ventricular ejection fraction (LV EF) in determining the status of cardiovascular patients (primarily patients with heart failure) in the algorithm for their diagnosis, treatment, and prediction of the outcome. Conclusions and recommendations on the use of LV EF in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) are the following: 1) LV EF remains a familiar and convenient instrumental indicator not so much of myocardial contractility as of hemodynamics in general. Assessment of LV EF is useful for selection and ranking of CHF patients whereas the LV EF dynamics is useful for assessing the quality of their management. 2) In the entire population of cardiovascular patients, the “normal” LV EF (mortality nadir) is in the range of 60-65%. 3) LV EF demonstrates a U-shaped relationship with prognosis: in cardiovascular patients with LV EF below the mortality nadir, the relationship is inversely proportional, and above the mortality nadir, it is directly proportional. The question of the boundary between “normal” and “reduced” LV EF in terms of CHF syndrome remains open, but obviously, this boundary is most likely within the range of 50 to 60%. 4) LV EF determines the effectiveness of CHF treatment, but this rule is not applicable to all LV EF ranges and not to all classes of drugs.
From typology of communication to typology of communicators: communicative behaviour and communicative identity
Authors: T.B. Nazarova T. B.
Published: July 2023

The present article revisits and revises one of the traditional classifications of communicators which centres on the four generally acknowledged types the mobile, the dominant, the rigid, and the introvert communicator(s). The methodology elaborated and adhered to in the article goes beyond these clear-cut distinctions and accounts for the need to add ten new types of communicators to the traditional four types. This allows to arrive at a more comprehensive view of both the process of communication and the range of individuals participating in varying and varied communicative events across national, organizational, and corporate cultures. The complex approach prioritized in this study is based on the integration of several methods (observation, comparison, confrontation, conceptualization, categorization) as ways of ordering activity and is effected through sets of techniques that encourage the researcher to subject the new correlations to ongoing testing as they are presented at lectures, identified and observed in real communicative settings, discussed at practical seminars and gradually organized and, if need be, reorganized for better functional use in the teaching of the essentials of communication at university level across departments and specializations.
Causes and pragmatic effects of business communication integration with other types of discourse
Authors: Gabets А. А.
Published: July 2023

The article studies the interaction of business communication genre with other types of institutional discourse. Fragments of professional communication in mixed discourses where it is impossible to clarify the dominant genre by its parameters or its lexical and grammatical cliches selected from websites of various international and governmental organizations are the research material. Methods of descriptive, discourse and contextual analysis are implemented. The author identifies the reasons for the appearance of mixed genres in 20182023, these are traditional connection of economics and politics, COVID-19 and vital issues of environment and sustainable development on the international agenda. Depending on the revealed reasons the types of discourse which integrate in business communication most often are defined, these are political, ecological, medical and educational. Mixed forms of discourse are studied from the perspective of linguistic pragmatics. The author proves that in the course of modern tendencies to business communication deregulation the potential of discourse created as a result of integration is bigger because the speaker can use most efficient means of every included genre both from its core and its periphery. Pragmalinguistic effect of mixed discourses is formed either by common discourse markers that can give the necessary information at the same time serving as expressive means or by speech units and cliches that arrange discourse interaction.
Verbal markers of the learners’ evaluation of the German language textbooks in the German educational discourse
Authors: Shukman V. E.
Published: July 2023

The article is devoted to the research of verbal markers of evaluation in the statements of foreigners studying German at the elementary level (A1) about the content of the German language textbooks in the German educational discourse. The problems of the research are connected with the low level of knowledge of the dynamic phenomenon of feedback and its verbalization in the form of evaluative statements of foreigners about the content of the German language textbooks offered to them in Germany in the field of learning German as a foreign language. The linguistic methods of the research were the discursive and lexical analysis of verbal markers of evaluation found in the evaluation statements of the foreign learners. The language material was collected at the Language Centre of the Wrzburg University (Germany) during a targeted survey of foreigners studying German at the elementary level (A1). The topicality of the research is due to the prospects of studying the axiological phenomenon of feedback in the German educational discourse, the diversity of the potential for cognitive variation of the thematic content and lexical content of the German language textbooks. The results obtained with the help of discursive and lexical analysis of verbal markers of evaluation demonstrate the diversity and reactions of foreigners to the content of the German language textbooks Netzwerk A1.1 A1.2 and certain accents in the assessments of the content, process and learning outcomes based on them. The obtained results and conclusions are debatable, since with a general positive assessment of authentic German language textbooks, verbal markers of evaluation with a negative connotation are presented in the statements of foreigners, indicating aspects, attitudes, dominant content (primarily thematic relevance) that require correction and optimization in the modern global German educational discourse. According to the model of this research, another research can be carried out from the standpoint of discursive linguistics to verify aspects of evaluating educational strategies and coding key concepts, also a comparative one.

Authors: Shevchenko V. D. , Yakovleva E. V.
Published: July 2023

The article deals with cognitive models analysis of situations represented in mini-format texts from English educational discourse. The research is based on the texts from the coursebook English Unlimited Advanced. The method implied has been the cognitive modelling developed by the American linguist Dell Hymes. This includes the representation of communicative situation via meaningful constituents like Participants, Act and Sequence, Setting and Scene, Tone, Key, Instrumentalities and others. The aim of the research is to reveal the dominant components of linguo-cognitive models and their pragmatic and communicative functions. It has been revealed that the dominant components of the analyzed situations are Participants and, Key. The authors highlight these components with the help of the language means that aim at realizing emotive and affective function. It has also been revealed that the mini-format texts at the Advanced level contain more comprehensive implications, thus students must decode main themes and ideas not only with the means of the English language but also using their background knowledge and specific cognitive scenarios from their memory.
Cabinet of Anna Ioannovna as a typical institution of absolutism
Authors: Krivova D. A.
Published: July 2023

The article is an attempt to consider the analogues of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Empress Anna Ioannovna (17301740) among the higher bodies of state administration in the XVIXVIII centuries. The relevance of this issue is due to the fact that historians, when searching for analogues of the Cabinet, rarely go beyond the limits of the Russian state. On the basis of the analysis of higher state institutions of some European countries in XVIXVIII centuries the author determined that such institutions secret councils had characteristic features. It is revealed that such state institutions were characterized by a narrow composition, uncertainty of competence, beginnings of specialization in the sphere of management. The article suggests that the emergence of secret councils reflected the growth of absolute power of the monarch. It is analyzed that the origins of such institutions are in the early Middle Ages, when the monarch had deliberative councils, the high role in which was played by the aristocracy. In the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries, these institutions were transformed the aristocracy was gradually replaced by specially trained officials under the control of the monarch. On the basis of the involved materials it is investigated that in different states the situation developed in a heterogeneous way. The author suggests that, unlike the Supreme Privy Council, usually referred to by historians as the prototype of the Cabinet, the supreme body of power under Anna Ioannovna did not seek to fully replace the monarch, but was a convenient tool in his hands. The author concludes that on a number of features the Cabinet of Anna Ioannovna can be defined as a typical institution within the classical absolutist model of the state.
The Soviet-Japanese War of 1945 on the pages of textbooks of basic secondary education
Authors: Artyukov A. P. , Amelin A. E.
Published: July 2023

The article deals with the problem of studying the Soviet-Japanese War in the system of basic general education, through a comprehensive analysis of information material in school textbooks from 1952 to the present. The relevance of this topic is explained by certain specifics of Russian-Japanese relations, which can be described as restrained, due to a number of territorial, economic and political contradictions. Almost every year, Japan raises the issue of the territorial affiliation of some islands of the Kuril ridge, putting forward claims and calls for a revision of decisions taken following the Second World War. But Japanese diplomacy faces a firm position of the Russian Federation on this issue. Such diplomatic battles have been going on since the middle of the last century to this day and are the reason that a peace treaty between the countries has not been concluded yet. In modern conditions of aggravation of international relations, the topic of the Soviet-Japanese war of 1945 and the results of the Second World War in the education system are becoming one of the key topics. In the study of educational materials of textbooks on the topic of the Soviet-Japanese war, the main attention was paid to the volume of historical material presented to students for study, illustrative material, the content part, that is, how much the topic is disclosed as fully and in detail as possible, as well as schematic maps. Thus, the analysis of the content of the text material in textbooks revealed the wave-like dynamics of the information volume, from the quantitative and qualitative growth of historical information, especially in the early 1980s, to its sharp reduction in the materials of modern textbooks.

A new format of the rhetoric of university lecturing
Authors: Decheva S. V. , Aristova D. D.
Published: July 2023

This article is meant to highlight the latest changes in the phonostylistic format of the genre of university lecturing. The focus is on the rhetorically diverse nature of intellective communication in the present-day multicultural English-speaking community. Our material shows that the manifestations of the innovative tendencies in American public speaking (and scientific discourse at large) are not numerous in British academic English. Not infrequently they are ousted by the linguocultural stereotypes, as well as aesthetic and ethical principles of scientific communication established in their own linguistic community. It is only in the opening and the closing part of the lecture, as well as in all kind of illustrative or explanatory digressions in its Main Body, that the American influence can be more or less clearly observed. More often than not, typically British English manner of exposition, such as understatement or hedging, comes to the fore and plays the major part in the transfer to the new, friendly and unbuttoned mode of the genre of lecturing. There are all kind of prosodic transformations in the main part of the lecture, which enable the speaker to accommodate and satisfy the tastes and demands of the new generation of university audience. This, however, is by no means to the detriment of the scientific message or information, which any lecture by definition, as it were, is designed to impart. It transpires that the well-established requirements of the prosodic and rhetorical minimums, which Russian anglicists have so far adhered to, should also be replenished, reorganized and renovated with respect to the new requisites for scientific communication in the English-speaking world. The methodology of the learner-oriented English language acquisition, however, should remain undisturbed, and the traditional stereotypes of the genre of lecturing should be reckoned with to fit the ethics of academic discourse in this country.

Ze studiów nad rolą protestantów w kształtowaniu krajobrazu kulturowego Łodzi
Authors: Kulesza Mariusz
Published: July 2023

Łódź jest miastem, na którego rozwój istotny, a w wielu przypadkach wręcz decydujący, mieli wpływ – obok Polaków – przedstawiciele innych narodowości, religii i kultur. To oni w znacznym stopniu określili specyficzne oblicze miasta. Ważne miejsce w tym procesie zajmowali łódzcy protestanci, głównie niemieckiego pochodzenia, którzy stanowili najbardziej ekspansywny żywioł w rozwijającym się mieście fabrycznym – społeczność najbardziej zorganizowaną, posiadającą własne sprawnie działające instytucje i organizacje oraz prężne ciała społeczne. Musiało to pozostawić ślady we współczesnym krajobrazie miasta. Powszechnie znana jest kariera XIX-wiecznej Łodzi wyrosłej na dynamicznie rozwijającym się przemyśle włókienniczym. Mniej natomiast powszechna jest wiedza o jej obliczu urbanistyczno-architektonicznym oraz o ludziach, którzy je stworzyli i którzy pragnęli, by było ono piękne, wyjątkowe i jedyne w swoim wyrazie. By było „ziemią obiecaną” i „domem rodzinnym”, z którym się utożsamiali.

In accordance with TR CU022/2011 «Food products in terms of their labeling», the content of allergens in food products is subject to mandatory control. Work on the creation of a metrological support complex for the identification and quantitative determination of the content of non-infectious food allergens of animal or plant protein origin in food products includes the development and certification of methods for identification and quantitative determination; conducting interlaboratory comparisons; creation and testing for type approval of reference materials.

Within the framework of this research, work was carried out on the development and certification of methods for identifying and quantifying the content of non-infectious food allergens of plant (gluten, peanuts, nuts, soybeans) and animal (cow’s milk, chicken eggs, fish and seafood) protein origin in samples of all kinds of food products and objects related to the requirements for food products, swabs taken from work surfaces during production control using reagent kits for enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay produced by XEMA LLC.

Certification of quantitative analysis methods in accordance with legal requirements in the field of ensuring the uniformity of measurements was conducted using imported reference materials of food allergens. The lowest sensitivity limits (detection limits) of the presence or absence of antigens by allergen protein weight ranged from 0.001 ppb to 5 ppm. The developed methods make it possible to ensure the safety of food products when establishing the conformity of products with the requirements of the legislation on technical regulation.
Metrological Support in the Field for the Development of Reference Materials of Isothermal Titration Calorimetry: Prospects
Authors: Mishina K. A.
Published: July 2023

Isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) allows studying the thermal effects of various chemical and physicochemical processes, including dissolution processes. This method is relatively new. Therefore, the active expansion of the scope of its application has revealed a number of problems. For instance, the article raises the problem of insufficient metrological support for isothermal titration calorimeters, which leads to inconsistency of the results obtained on different models of calorimeters, as well as their inconsistency with literature data. The current electrical and chemical calibration procedures for calorimeters are not universal and have a number of limitations in their application.

The purpose of the research is to develop basic approaches to the creation of certified reference materials with a certified value of heat of physicochemical interactions with established metrological traceability to the base SI units.

In the course of the study, the analysis of the state of metrological support in the field of ITC measurements was carried out, the main requirements for candidate substances to RMs were formulated; the target uncertainty of the value of the integral heat of dilution of propanol-1 solutions was estimated by analyzing the characteristics of working measuring instruments, which made it possible to establish requirements for the measurement method applied to characterize RMs. A method for determining the certified value of the integral heat of dilution that provides traceability to the State primary special standard of the unit of heat in the field of dissolution calorimetry and reactions GET 133 has been proposed and tested.

In order to implement the project, it is necessary to continue research in order to obtain experimental data on the characterization, assessment of the homogeneity and stability of the material, processing the obtained results, and estimating the uncertainty of the certified value, which will make it possible to complete the development of reference materials.

Published: July 2023

Gas analytical measurements are one of the types of measurements of the physical and chemical composition and properties of substances, and cover a large amount of measurement tasks in various areas of human activity. The main means of calibration of gas analytical measuring instruments are working standards of the 1stand 2ndcategory: reference materials for the composition of gas mixtures in pressure cylinders, measures –  sources of microflows of gases and vapors, gas mixture generators.

The purpose of the research was to summarize the many years of experience of the specialists of the Research Department of State Standards in the field of Physical and Chemical Measurements, D. I. Mendeleyev Institute for Metrology, in terms of the use of reference materials-imitators for metrological support of gas analytical measuring instruments, identification and analysis of the main factors that allow the use of imitators in testing and calibration of measuring instruments.

The research considered the main features of the use of reference materials for the composition of gas mixtures in pressure cylinders as imitators of real environments in the metrological support of gas analytical measuring instruments. The main differences between imitators in terms of their equivalence with a real environment were described. Approaches have been developed to assess the possibility of using imitators, the features of testing for the purpose of type approval and verification of measuring instruments using imitators.

The practical significance of the research is the possibility of using the research results by metrologists in solving practical problems that arise during tests for the purpose of type approval, and calibration of gas analytical measuring instruments.

The present article presents comparative characteristics of domestic and international approaches to estimating the instability of reference materials, and describes the proposed changes in R50.2.031-2003. A mathematical apparatus and an algorithm of actions for estimating the standard uncertainty due to instability, and the shelf life of a reference material are proposed. Approaches to estimating the uncertainty due to instability in the cases of absence and presence of a significant trend in the certified characteristic of a reference material over time are considered. It is shown that there is a rationale for the minimum number of measurements to study the stability of a reference material. It has been established that the smoothing of the measurement results when estimating the stability of a reference material leads to the appointment of an overestimated shelf life.
Case study: An unusual and fatal injury: stab wound of a bovine aortic arch anomaly

Published: July 2023

Penetrating trauma of the aortic arch is relatively uncommon, even at busy trauma centers. Such an injury is challenging, especially in a “crashing” patient in whom emergency surgery is undertaken. When this scenario is coupled with an aortic arch abnormality, it may be infinitely more difficult to deal with, and the injury may prove non-salvageable. Bovine aortic arch abnormality occurs in approximately 25% of patients in our setting, according to existing literature. Hence, penetrating injury of a bovine aortic arch would be extremely rare. We present a patient who sustained a stab wound to a bovine arch, which proved non-salvageable because proximal and distal vascular control could not be provided without rendering the brain anoxic. We provide an overview of the bovine arch abnormality and a brief review of the management of aortic arch injuries.

Published: July 2023

Court mediation is regulated in the Civil Procedure Code under the term peacemaking. Court mediation is a concept developed by the Dutch which is still used in the settlement of civil disputes in Indonesian courts. However, the implementation of mediation in court is not optimal. This research aims to analyze the causes of the unsuccessful implementation of mediation in court. The research method used is doctrinal research sourced from legislation, literature and scientific journals. The results showed that the success of mediation in court in resolving civil disputes lies in the role of judges as mediators. Judges serving in Banyumas must have sufficient knowledge about the philosophy of dispute resolution in Banyumas society. There are four types of Banyumas local wisdom that become the internal capital of dispute resolution to keep it running lightly, honestly, and firmly, egalitarian, traditional, deliberation and these five principles become the basis for Banyumas people to live in harmony and horizontal harmony, so as to create a safe and peaceful life.

Mediasi pengadilan diatur dalam KUHAP dengan istilah perdamaian. Mediasi pengadilan merupakan konsep yang dikembangkan oleh Belanda yang masih digunakan dalam penyelesaian sengketa perdata di pengadilan Indonesia. Namun pelaksanaan mediasi di pengadilan belum optimal. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis penyebab tidak berhasilnya pelaksanaan mediasi di pengadilan. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah penelitian doktrinal yang bersumber dari peraturan perundang-undangan, literatur dan jurnal ilmiah. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa keberhasilan mediasi di pengadilan dalam penyelesaian sengketa perdata terletak pada peran hakim sebagai mediator. Hakim yang bertugas di Banyumas harus memiliki pengetahuan yang cukup tentang filosofi penyelesaian sengketa dalam masyarakat Banyumas. Ada empat jenis kearifan lokal Banyumas yang menjadi modal internal penyelesaian sengketa agar tetap berjalan ringan, jujur, dan tegas, egaliter, tradisional, musyawarah dan kelima prinsip tersebut menjadi landasan bagi masyarakat Banyumas untuk hidup rukun dan harmonis secara horizontal, sehingga tercipta kehidupan yang aman dan damai.

More than three-fold increase of extreme dryness across Europe by end of 21st century
Authors: Shekhar Ankit , Humphrey Vincent , Buchmann Nina , Gharun Mana
Published: July 2023

Increases in air temperature leads to increased dryness of the air and potentially develops increased dryness in the soil. Extreme dryness (in the soil and/or in the atmosphere) affects the capacity of ecosystems for functioning and for modulating the climate for example through CO2 uptake or evaporative cooling. Here, we used daily soil moisture and vapor pressure deficit data of high spatial resolution (~ 0.1° × 0.1°) from 1950–2100 to show that compared to the reference period (1950–1990), the frequency and intensity of extreme soil dryness, extreme air dryness, and compound extreme dryness (i.e., co-occurrence of extreme soil and air dryness) has increased over last 31 years (1991–2021) and will further continue to increase in the future until 2100 across Europe. This increased intensity and frequency was most pronounced over broadleaved forests, croplands, and grasslands. Such future climate-change induced increase in extreme dry conditions could alter ecosystem functioning across Europe.
Archived cytogenetic cell pellets used to detect a BCR::ABL1 driver mutation eight years before disease presentation: a case report
Authors: Sasi Ramakrishnan , Spruill Michelle , Perrotta Peter L.
Published: July 2023

Background:
Evidence suggests that the earliest genetic events in the evolution of a cancer can predate diagnosis by several years or decades. In chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), the BCR::ABL1 fusion driver mutation can be present for an extended period before clinical disease manifests. The time between the BCR::ABL1 occurrence and symptom onset is referred to as the latency period. Though modeling studies predict this latency period is no more than ten years, it is still unclear how long it can be.
Case presentation:
A 57-year-old female patient with anemia, fatigue, weight loss and night sweating was referred for suspected CML. Both karyotype and FISH analysis identified the t(9;22)(q34;q11.2) translocation resulting in the Philadelphia chromosome formation. The patient responded to imatinib and achieved a sustained complete hematologic and cytogenetic remission.
Clinical history revealed that this patient was evaluated eight years previous for mild anemia and cytopenia with suspicion of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). There was macrocytic anemia and mild polychromasia on the peripheral blood smear which was remarkable for mild leukocytosis without a left-shift or circulating blasts. The bone marrow was normocellular without significant dysplasia and no evidence of a myeloid neoplasm. Cytogenetic analysis at that time revealed del(20q) as the sole abnormality. The patient’s condition resolved, and no treatment was provided because isolated del(20q) is not considered evidence of MDS in the absence diagnostic morphologic findings. Cytogenetic fluorescent in situ hybridization analysis of the eight-year-old archived bone marrow pellets revealed the presence of BCR::ABL1 fusion in 1.8% of cells.
Conclusion:
A clonal population of cells harboring the BCR::ABL1 fusion was unambiguously detected in this patient’s archived bone marrow pellet obtained eight years before the current CML diagnosis. This case demonstrates that Carnoy’s fixed nuclear pellets stored in cytogenetic laboratories are suitable for detecting driver mutations years before disease presentation. Such archived material may be useful for the retrospective studies needed to better understand the initiation and subsequent development of hematological malignancies. By identifying individuals who are at increased risk, it may be possible to initiate preventive measures or begin treatment at an earlier stage before disease progression

Published: July 2023

Background Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a common psychiatric disorder with a high prevalence of comorbidity with thyroid dysfunction. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence and factors influencing the comorbidity of thyroid dysfunction in patients with dyslipidemic MDD who were hospitalized for the first time in a Chinese population. Methods The study incorporated 708 first-time hospitalized MDD patients, all with dyslipidemia. Data collection encompassed socio-demographic information, blood pressure, fasting blood glucose (FBG), lipid, and thyroid hormone levels. Participants were evaluated using the Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD), Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA), and Positive Symptom Subscale (PSS). Results The prevalence of thyroid dysfunction in dyslipidemic MDD patients with the first hospitalization was 39.97%. The course of the disease, age at onset, HAMA score, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) were risk factors for thyroid dysfunction in dyslipidemic MDD patients. The course of disease, age at onset, HAMA score, HAMD score, FBG, and systolic blood pressure (SBP) levels were observed to significantly influence serum Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) levels. Conclusions MDD patients with dyslipidemia have a high prevalence of thyroid dysfunction, and the outcome is associated with anxiety, fasting glucose, and lipids. This study provides direction for the prevention and treatment of thyroid dysfunction in patients with dyslipidemic MDD.

Pari Island has 1,441 inhabitants who are facing major environmental challenges related to water consumption and availability. These challenges may impact water quality and availability in the future. Previous research examining water usage and sanitation behavior on Pari Island remains limited. Since domestic activities dominate in Pari Island, this study evaluated water sources for domestic usage, estimated water consumption, and evaluated sanitation behavior, as well as community behavior and awareness. This study was based on a field survey using a questionnaire involving 317 heads of household, and had focus group discussions. The results revealed that reverse osmosis (RO) water and branded bottled water were the dominant water sources for drinking and food preparation, and RO water had become an important alternative water source for its affordable price. An individual's well water was mostly used for bathing and toilets. Annual water consumption on Pari Island for drinking, food preparation, and water-related sanitation is 24,930.74–29,401.44 m3/year, which still fell within the estimated water capacity of 290,000.48 m3/year, yet problems related to sanitation need special attention with respect to the increasing population. The awareness of the Pari Island community on technological interventions should be an advantage to maintain water sustainability.
