Retrofitting Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SuDS): A Cost-Benefit Analysis Appraisal
Authors: Oladunjoye Oluwayemi , Proverbs David , Xiao Hong
Published: August 2022

Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SuDS) are known to help mitigate flooding whilst simultaneously delivering other positive outcomes, such as the provision of environmental, economic, educational, and business benefits. Despite this, there has been a relatively low uptake of SuDS in new developments and even less of an uptake in the opportunities for retrofitting SuDS in existing buildings. A major barrier to uptake has been a lack of understanding regarding the value of the benefits provided by SuDS. This study presents an appraisal of the costs and benefits derived from the retrofitting of SuDS in existing buildings and reveals some of the key decision-making considerations during the design and installation of such schemes. A qualitative research approach that included a number of case studies of successfully retrofitted SuDS schemes within public buildings was conducted. A novel feature of the research was the use of the Willingness to Pay (WTP) approach to value the tangible and intangible benefits provided by the various schemes from the perspectives of the property owners. The findings revealed that the retrofit provided a net value to the client of over £100,000 over 10 years, a mean CBA ratio of 5.3/10, and a return on investment (ROI) that would be achieved in less than 3 years. The importance of stakeholder engagement during the decision-making process was highlighted in helping to overcome many of the design, installation, and maintenance challenges. The findings demonstrate a significant ROI for these SuDs retrofit schemes and highlight useful approaches to overcoming the barriers in valuing the importance of the intangible benefits. In supporting the uptake of the retrofitting of SuDS, it is recommended that these benefits are given full consideration by property owners, urban planners, and architects during the design of retrofit schemes and throughout the decision-making stage.

Published: August 2022

Hydrological modelling at a catchment scale was conducted to investigate the impact of climate change and land-use change individually and in combination with the available streamflow in the Painkalac catchment using an eWater Source hydrological model. This study compares the performance of three inbuilt conceptual models within eWater Source, such as the Australian water balance model (AWBM), Sacramento and GR4J for streamflow simulation. The three-model performance was predicted by bivariate statistics (Nash–Sutcliff efficiency) and univariate (mean, standard deviation) to evaluate the efficiency of model runoff predictions. Potential evapotranspiration (PET) data, daily rainfall data and observed streamflow measured from this catchment are the major inputs to these models. These models were calibrated and validated using eight objective functions while further comparisons of these models were made using objective functions of a Nash–Sutcliffe efficiency (NSE) log daily and an NSE log daily bias penalty. The observed streamflow data were split into three sections. Two-thirds of the data were used for calibration while the remaining one-third of the data was used for validation of the model. Based on the results, it was observed that the performance of the GR4J model is more suitable for the Painkalac catchment in respect of prediction and computational efficiency compared to the Sacramento and AWBM models. Further, the impact of climate change, land-use change and combined scenarios (land-use and climate change) were evaluated using the GR4J model. The results of this study suggest that the higher climate change for the year 2065 will result in approximately 45.67% less streamflow in the reservoir. In addition, the land-use change resulted in approximately 42.26% less flow while combined land-use and higher climate change will produce 48.06% less streamflow compared to the observed flow under the existing conditions.

Published: August 2022

Energy is a pivotal element for overall development. Therefore, affordable and clean energy for all (Sustainable Development Goal 7) is one of the important elements. Despite a suitable approach, Kyrgyzstan lags behind to achieve its Sustainable Development Goals by 2030. Improving access to energy can significantly impact the progress of many other sustainable development targets. However, access to reliable, sustainable, and adequate energy is a crucial task in rural Kyrgyzstan. Taking into consideration the energy situation and the importance of the availability of energy services, the overarching aim of the presented article is to map the potential of improving rural energy services to foster overall sustainable development goals. The article presents the most relevant information about rural energy usage behaviour based on three primary pillars: energy demand, energy carrier, and energy sources. In addition, the presented research article synthesises the key driving factors which have a direct or indirect impact on the energy services in rural areas. The summarised data displays a deep insight into a variety of complex and dynamic household energy consumption patterns. The article provides a potential solution nexus to foster improved energy services in rural Kyrgyzstan and therefore to foster the overall sustainable development in Kyrgyzstan. The findings of the article help to formulate a strategy to design rural energy services for policy makers and stockholders.

GPs’ perceptions of teaching methods in shared decision-making training: a qualitative study
Authors: Nyamapfene Taona , Butterworth Joanne , Merchant Haider , Eaton Mike
Published: August 2022

Background

Although shared decision making (SDM) is key to delivering patient-centred care, there are barriers to GPs implementing SDM in practice. SDM training is undergoing development by organisations, including the Royal College of General Practitioners. However, GPs’ perceptions of the delivery of SDM training in general practice remain largely unexplored.

Aim

To explore GPs’ perceptions of teaching methods in SDM training.

Design and setting

Qualitative study of GPs with teaching roles at the University of Exeter Medical School.

Method

Purposive sampling recruited 14 GPs. Semi-structured interviews explored their SDM educational experiences. Data were analysed using thematic framework analysis.

Results

Three themes were identified. The GPs described role-play, receiving feedback, and on-the-job learning as modes of delivering SDM training that mostly informed their SDM in clinical practice positively. Learning from knowledgeable individuals and using realistic patient cases were perceived as beneficial components of SDM learning, although most learning occurred implicitly through reflections on their clinical experiences. The GPs identified that their training on SDM should reflect the uncertainty that is present when sharing decisions with patients in real-life general practice consultations. GPs also identified the targeting of individual GPs’ SDM learning needs and explanation of the potential benefits of SDM on consultation outcomes as important methods to facilitate the implementation of SDM in practice.

Conclusion

To the authors’ knowledge, this is the first UK study to explore GPs’ perceptions of SDM training and provide recommendations for practice. As SDM occurs in partnership with patients, further research should obtain and incorporate patients’ views alongside those of GPs in the evaluation of future programmes.
A moda dos museus
Authors: Fiori Arantes Otília Beatriz
Published: August 2022

Os 5 títulos que compõem este volume são, no geral, conferências em eventos sobre Museus. Embora muitas passagens dessas exposições orais tenham sido incluídas em outras publicações ou entrevistas, pesou mais a suposição de que a reunião dos textos originais num pequeno volume temático facilitaria o acesso de uma futura geração de pesquisadores àquele capítulo decisivo do capitalismo em tempos de reestruturação produtiva. O primeiro deles, uma fala por ocasião da mostra  “Novas construções de museus na República federal da Alemanha”, de 1991, aborda a relação espectador-obra de arte nesses Museus, em contraste com o que ocorria nos Museus Modernos. Partindo da meditação de Adorno, motivada pelo confronto entre as posições de Valéry e Proust sobre a neutralização da obra de arte naqueles espaços, conclui que, seja como for, eles, ainda assim, justamente devido à sua neutralidade, permitiam ao visitante solitário o prazer de poder concentrar-se diante de algumas obras escolhidas. Passados 50 anos, os Novos Museus estariam longe de propiciar qualquer tipo de recolhimento,  solicitando do público, no máximo, uma atenção distraída. Das múltiplas atividades oferecidas às extravagâncias arquitetônicas, esses museus mobilizam inúmeros recursos para satisfazer um novo contingente de visitantes-consumidores, ao mesmo tempo em que abrigam uma produção artística cada vez mais concebida na escala das massas, isto é, na exata medida do consumo de uma sociedade afluente. O texto intitulado não por acaso  “Contaminações” resume o roteiro dessas transformações, quando diferentes ramos de atividades parecem funcionar interligados numa imensa rede de conexões igualmente “empreendedoras”, e na qual um dos ingredientes estratégicos é a circulação permanente das pessoas: museu/centro-cultural/shopping/parque-temático, do Beaubourg aos últimos exemplares do Guggenheim, quando as musas foram progressivamente cedendo lugar às massas e os museus a outros espaços, como as grandes lojas de grife – tema do texto “Alta cultura, alta costura”. Todos esses temas são retomados na conferência final, de 2005, que analisa os efeitos desse cultural turn no “sistema das artes” e seus circuitos, da produção em série às grandes instalações.

Psychological impacts of COVID-19 on Indian immigrants working in the retail industry of Auckland, New Zealand, and their job performance
Authors:   , Kaur Prabhjot
Published: August 2022

The Novel Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) pandemic has had profound and historic ramifications on people worldwide. This research explores the psychological impacts of COVID-19 on Indian immigrants with temporary visas working in the retail industry, on their job performance, and on those who previously worked in the retail industry but are now studying again in order to upskill. Mixed-method research was adopted, which allows the researchers to explore the problems in-depth. Descriptive statistical techniques and regression analysis were employed to provide quantitative data results. Thematic analysis was used to identify the themes from the data collected through interviews. The research findings indicated that, according to the Kessler Psychological Distress (K 10) test, 84.61% of student visa participants experienced high to very high psychological distress as compared to 48.65% of work visa participants. Similarly, the World Health Organisation (WHO-5) test found that more student visa participants (80%) experienced low mental well-being due to COVID-19 as compared to work visa participants (48.57%). The research also found different factors which had adverse psychological impacts due to COVID-19 on work and student visa participants' physical and mental health. These factors included fear of contracting COVID-19 and the inability to visit family members due to stringent border restrictions for work visa participants. For student visa participants, these factors included job insecurity, fear of being infected by a housemate, changes to immigration regulations under COVID-19, and the inability to visit family due to strict border restrictions. Furthermore, the research found that 68% of student visa participants lost their retail jobs due to COVID-19's impacts. The findings also revealed that being able to access most job duties during and after COVID-19, a safe and healthy work environment, work stress, and fear of contracting COVID-19 factors were closely associated with the job performance of work visa participants. Therefore, the findings of this research demonstrate the need for implementing possible solutions to reduce the psychological distress of everyone, regardless of their visa status, which has emerged due to COVID-19, and this may also help improve the job performance of immigrants at work.

Authors: Reis Telma de Jesus , Campolina Luciana de Oliveira
Published: August 2022

Esse artigo resultou de uma investigação sobre estratégias de ensino inovadoras de professores de uma universidade privada. As estratégias de ensino inovadoras são compreendidas como recursos produzidos e/ou implementados pelos professores para um determinado contexto educacional, visando a aprendizagem dos discentes. Esse conhecimento foi produzido e inspirado na Teoria da Subjetividade na perspectiva Cultural-histórica de González Rey e no Método Construtivo-interpretativo, do mesmo autor, que se inspira na Epistemologia Qualitativa. Os instrumentos utilizados foram:  dinâmica conversacional, instrumentos escritos (complementos de frases) e observação sistemática. Os participantes da pesquisa foram oito estudantes universitários e dois professores de ensino superior que utilizam estratégias de ensino inovadoras, reconhecidas por seus pares e alunos. Para efeitos conclusivos, foi possível considerar que as estratégias pedagógicas inovadoras contribuem para aprendizagem dos estudantes, principalmente pela variabilidade na apresentação do mesmo conteúdo. O objetivo do artigo é descrever sobre o impacto e os desdobramentos de práticas educativas inovadoras de professores universitários sobre a aprendizagem de estudantes do ensino superior.

Authors: Vilela Jean Louis Landim , De Magalhães Cristiana Schmidt
Published: August 2022

O presente trabalho versa sobre a importância das aulas práticas para que o conteúdo de óptica geométrica seja assimilado e compreendido pelos alunos do ensino médio das escolas públicas com despertamento do interesse pelas aulas. Analisou-se, particularmente, a utilização do laboratório, o envolvimento dos alunos e o uso de celulares para pesquisa na internet em experimentos sobre óptica geométrica, mais especificamente, dispersão da luz, associação de espelhos planos, reflexão e refração da luz e lentes esféricas. Para muitos estudantes é difícil fazer uma conexão entre a teoria e a prática. A física tem que ter sentido para os alunos e ser vista como algo prático e presente no seu cotidiano. Assim, as aulas práticas aliaram-se ao professor, garantindo uma maior aprendizagem sobre os temas abordados. Portanto, os objetivos deste trabalho foram: propor a construção de kits e experimentos com materiais de baixo custo e fácil acesso; mudança na metodologia tradicional do ensino atual da Física na Escola Estadual São Sebastião; desenvolver a curiosidade e o senso crítico do aluno para que compreenda e aprenda com mais facilidade o conteúdo trabalhado. O trabalho foi desenvolvido com alunos da segunda série do ensino médio regular e com alunos do segundo período do projeto EJA, onde fez-se também a comparação entre as duas turmas com relação ao interesse despertado e envolvimento no assunto. Com este estudo descobriu-se que as atividades no laboratório associadas ao uso do celular, alcançam os objetivos propostos. Conclui-se que a utilização de laboratórios de física é excelente recurso para que os alunos compreendam melhor o assunto “óptica geométrica”, proporcionando uma aprendizagem mais efetiva.

Simultaneous monitoring of diverse salivary parameters can reveal underlying mechanisms of intraoral biological processes and offer profound insights into the evolution of oral diseases. However, conventional analytical devices with bulky volumes, rigid formats, and discrete sensing mechanisms deviate from the requirements of continuous biophysiological quantification, resulting in huge difficulty in precise clinical diagnosis and pathogenetic study. Here, we present a flexible hybrid electronic system integrated with functional nanomaterials to continuously sense Ca
2+
, pH, and temperature for wireless real-time oral health monitoring. The miniaturized system with an island-bridge structure that is designed specifically to fit the teeth is only 0.4 g in weight and

in dimension, allowing effective integration with customized dental braces and comfort attachment on teeth. Characterization results indicate high sensitivities of 30.3 and 60.6 mV/decade for Ca
2+
and pH with low potential drifts. The system has been applied in clinical studies to conduct Ca
2+
and pH mappings on carious teeth, biophysiological monitoring for up to 12 h, and outcome evaluation of dental restoration, providing quantitative data to assist in the diagnosis and understanding of oral diseases. Notably, caries risk assessment of 10 human subjects using the flexible system validates the important role of saliva buffering capacity in caries pathogenesis. The proposed flexible system may offer an open platform to carry diverse components to support both clinical diagnosis and treatment as well as fundamental research for oral diseases and induced systemic diseases.

he job that gets much exposure to gasoline is selling gasoline, exposed to gasoline fumes quite often. Workers are significantly at risk of DNA damage due to the genotoxic nature of these substances. Currently, there are still many gas station workers who do not use PPE when working. Workers do not seem to pay attention and maintain personal hygiene while working. After holding the gas station and holding the money directly, eat food. Protective equipment in the workplace is often neglected by workers or employees, even by workplace management. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the characteristics of individuals using PPE at Public Fuel Filling Station (SPBU) workers. Method: This type of research is cross-sectional. The population is 46 people; using Saturated Sampling, that is the whole population. Results: the results of the study found that there was a relationship between Age, Education, Marital Status, and Period of Service with the Use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) at Public Fuel Filling Station (Spbu) Workers in South Aceh Regency as evidenced by a value > 0.0 00. The group that completed PPE was more dominant than the female sex group as many as ten people (62.5%), aged 30 years ten people (71.4%), secondary education 12 people (63.2%), marital status 11 people (68.8%), 11 people (64.7%), the p-value for each indicator is less than 0.05, so there is a significant relationship between each characteristic: gender, age, education, marital status, and years of service with the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Female gender, age group more than or equal to 30 years, married status, secondary education, and working period of more or equal to 2 years are more aware of completing PPE. It is recommended that male workers under 30 years, unmarried, with primary education, and working period of under two years must use complete PPE when working.

Aspectos da pedagogia modernista de Mário de Andrade na correspondência com a vanguarda argentina
Authors: Ferreira Santana Erorci
Published: August 2022

O multifário escritor Mário de Andrade produziu, ao longo de sua vida literária, uma correspondência ativa monumental, dirigida a correspondentes intra e além-fronteiras brasileiras. Essa epistolografia, na qual o correspondente declara como modus operandi o “orgulho de jamais aconselhar”, insere-se como ferramenta de dupla valia. Tanto serve ao projeto de construção crítica da escrita modernista, por meio de um necessário intercâmbio de ideias, quanto à defesa pedagógica de suas bases estéticas demolitórias e antropofágicas, diferenciadas do cânon literário de matriz europeia. Neste ensaio, comento a circulação de ideias sobre a arte poética entre modernistas brasileiros e vanguardistas hispano-americanos e, nesta esteira, destaco por amostragem e analiso, em seu contexto de produção e fundamentos pedagógico-doutrinários, o ethos discursivo de uma pequena parcela do acervo epistolográfico integrado pelas cartas do poeta paulista e de seus interlocutores, a saber: a correspondência com o escritor argentino Luis Emilio Soto, trocada na década de 30 do século passado.
Poesia e precariedade: os possíveis e a política do contemporâneo
Authors: Chamarelli Gutierrez Maurício
Published: August 2022

O presente trabalho visa investigar as relações possíveis entre política e poesia contemporânea brasileira. Para tanto, nos voltamos para um entrevista, ocorrida em setembro de 2018, em que as poetas brasileiras Simone Brantes e Laura Liuzzi respondem a questionamentos e ensaiam suas compreensões sobre a poesia brasileira em contexto de crise e falência política. Suas reflexões parecem se desenvolver por dois lados: primeiro, é preciso assumir a ineficácia da poesia em efetivar qualquer horizonte emancipatório ou salvífico; em segundo lugar, trata-se de tentar pensar a conotação política de que se reveste a mera existência do poema, sua sobrevivência precária, reiterada no gesto ínfimo de (ainda) escrever. São sobretudo os sentidos possíveis desse segundo aspecto que o presente trabalho visa desdobrar. Nesse intuito, recorremos a um diagnóstico negativo de Iumna Maria Simon e a alguns apontamentos de Maurice Blanchot. Contrastando essas compreensões (ora atritantes, ora incompatíveis) do fazer artístico e de seus possíveis, e recorrendo ainda ao pensamento político de Judith Butler e Jacques Rancière, propomos que o campo da poesia contemporânea brasileira se organiza como uma comunidade de corpos precários e oferece, assim, à política a figura – desconsolada, mas vital – de uma comunidade (poética) fundada em torno da vulnerabilidade.

Authors: Miao Jiacheng
Published: August 2022

  

The powder metallurgy database is a data system for effective management of powder metallurgy information. With the development of information technology, its construction scale and quality will directly affect the convenient inquiry of powder metallurgy information, the selection of gear materials, the research and development and engineering application of micro-drive systems, and have engineering significance and market value. However, the groundwork in this field still lags behind other materials fields and needs to be developed systematically.

Consider the small modulus powder metallurgy gear's elastic modulus, Poisson's ratio, fatigue life, metallographic structure and processing parameters as research objectives, the functional requirements of the database, system functions and data relationships are analyzed. The function module, database model, user authority and system architecture are designed in detail. Based on the Flask framework and MySQL, the database system on the basic properties of powder metallurgy materials is designed and developed, which realizes the systematic and standardization of mechanical property data of powder metallurgy. Users are provided with upload, query and retrieval services of chemical composition, heat treatment and molding properties, fracture mechanics, material suppliers and other information.

In this paper, the necessity and urgency of building a powder metallurgy database to increase the efficiency of transmission system development and its application are demonstrated. The deficiencies of the existing powder metallurgy database are analyzed, and suggestions are provided for the selection, design, data coverage, and construction of big data applications for smart materials. The technical challenges of small modulus powder metallurgy gear selection and plan formulation are then ameliorated.

Objective: Inflammatory bowel disease encompasses two major form: Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. The Crohn's Disease Activity Index is used to determine the severity of disease activity in patients with Crohn's disease. On the other hand, the Truelove-Witts activity index is used to determine the severity of disease activity in patients with ulcerative colitis. Adalimumab and infliximab are biological agents used in the treatment of patients with inflammatory bowel disease. The aim of this study is to conduct a retrospective evaluation regarding the response to adalimumab and infliximab treatment in patients with inflammatory bowel disease.
Material and Methods: The data of the patients who were over the age of 18, diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease, and followed up in the Gastroenterology Clinic and Outpatient Clinic of Firat University Hospital between January 2008-April 2019 were assessed. Eighty patients who received adalimumab and infliximab treatment regularly for at least 4 weeks were included in the study.
Results: The Crohn's Disease Activity Index of patients who were diagnosed with Crohn's disease, and received adalimumab and infliximab treatment was compared, and it was found that it was significantly lower after the treatment (p <0.05). Truelove and Witts Activity Index of patients who were diagnosed with Crohn's disease, and received adalimumab and infliximab treatment were compared before and after the treatment, and it was found that it was significantly lower after the treatment (p <0.05).
Conclusion: The results showed that the recovery rate was %83,3 in crohn's disease and %84,6 in ulcerative colitis patients. Adalimumab and infliximab treatment was effective on the healing of active disease in patients with inflammatory bowel disease. It was also concluded that although the safety of adalimumab and infliximab was high, but few allergy, lymphadenopathy, and leukopenia side effects were observed.
Navigating Contact Zones in 21st Century Schools: Creative Identity Development in Two Complex Transcultural Spaces
Authors: Mayer Claude-Hélène
Published: August 2022

This article describes the experiences and the creative identity development of A., an 11-year-old bicultural and bilingual boy who attended school in two different cultural contact zones (CCZs), in South Africa and Germany. The study is anchored in a single case qualitative research paradigm and follows an ethnographic approach by using qualitative interviews, observation and field notes. Findings show A.’s identity development within the two CCZs. The article discusses how A. develops creatively to manage himself in the different CCZs by focusing on expanding or minimizing selected identity parts to create “safe zones”. It concludes that to grow within the two school environments, identity needs to be developed creatively and flexibly in correspondence with the schools’ approaches to diversity.
Reflections on the Function of National Images in Intra- and Intercultural Communication
Authors: Allwood Jens
Published: August 2022

This paper presents an analysis and some reflections on the nature of national-ethnic images (mostly visual) in intercultural and intra-cultural communication. We discuss some of the functions and possible principles of national-ethnic images for “soft power” and “national branding”. The discussion is illustrated by examples of positive and negative self- and other-images from different nations with different purposes and the images are discussed in relation to their level of concreteness or abstraction and the types of signs they contain. Examples of historical changes in national images are given and comparisons between the images of different nations are made. The purpose of the article is to increase understanding of national images as one of the mechanisms through which cultural attitudes can be constructed.
The Double-Edged Sword of Empathy: Two Migrant-Serving Organizations in South Texas
Authors: Sobre Miriam , Ehmer Emily
Published: August 2022

While Texas has long led other US American states in number of refugees resettled, anti-migrant rhetoric globally and locally creates challenges for nonprofit organizations serving refugees and asylum seekers. This paper represents a portion of an ongoing project focusing on the needs and scope of two organizations serving migrants in San Antonio, Texas: a nonprofit focusing on legal and educational resources for migrants, and a liberal arts university’s campus coalition assisting migrants in South Texas. The project reported on here is ongoing. This paper only reports on the work with these organizations and the development and early stages of interventions to assist employees and volunteers in intercultural communication, community outreach, and post-secondary trauma.
Intercultural Living Together, the Integration and Recognition of Self and Other: Applied Intercultural Ethics
Authors: Dine Charles Biradzem
Published: August 2022

Rising global multidimensional migration has altered human/cultural interaction where one now needs to welcome another and the other needs to be welcome. Notwithstanding the intensified interaction, the resulting intercultural paradigm encounters myriad dehumanizing, alienating and subjugating challenges. While juxtaposing Europe’s and Quebec’s intercultural experiences, this article examines these challenges as fallouts of the difficulties or the unwillingness to complement the integration and recognition of self and other in fostering interactive intercultural communication to achieve intercultural living together. It underscores the exploitation of a pragmatic aptitude toward applied intercultural ethics – otherwise known as practical wisdom – to enhance deliberative reciprocity and motivate introversive and extroversive enhancements of the transition from simple living together to intercultural living together.

The purpose of the work is to study the influence of drinkers on alcohol prefe- rences and habits, as well as on the quality of life (QoL) of representatives of their microsocial environment. 1572 people were examined, who belonged to two groups: group I — 329 patients with alcohol dependence (AD); group II — healthy respondents (1243 people). Each of these contingents was divided into comparison groups based on the presence or absence of drinkers in the environment (DIE). The main research instruments were the questionnaire of the interna- tional research consortium GENAHTO (Gender, Alcohol, and Harms to Others), the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS) and the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT). The obtai- ned data were processed by methods of mathe matical statistics (variance and correlation analysis). It was found that the presence of DIE in all surveyed respondents increases sub- jectively acceptable levels of alcohol con- sumption (АС) in typical life situations and worsens self-assessment of QoL. It has been shown that the stage of domestic drunkenness is characterized by a much greater dependence of the severity of al- coholic disorders (according to the AUDIT test) on the characteristics of alcoholic behavior than the stage AD. All surveyed respondents showed significant correla- tions between the results of the AUDIT test and the following features of alcohol behavior: АС alone, in one’s own home and while eating, indicating the patho- genic role of the loss of social ties and the integration of alcohol habits into the process of satisfying basic human needs.
The impact of epilepsy on the overall development of children with autism spectrum disorders
Authors: Skrypnyk Tetiana
Published: August 2022

15—30 % of children with autistic spectrum disorders (ASD) are diagnosed with epilepsy during their lifetime, and 20—39 % of children with ASD have neurophysiological phenom- ena specific to epilepsy on the EEG. The presence of epilepsy and specific epileptic activity on the EEG may impair the prognosis of cognitive deve- lopment, motor functions and social functioning in children with ASD. Objective: to investigate the fea- tures of the clinical course of ASD in preschool children with epileptic seizures and specific epileptic activity on the EEG. During 2016—2021 170 children with ASD were selected and included in the study, a control group of 65 people and a main group of 105 people were formed. Patients in the main group are divided into two subgroups: IA children with autism and epilepsy — 35 people; IВ children with autism and specific epi- leptic changes on the human EEG — 70. ASD and epilepsy have a mutually burdensome course. Seizures occurring at an early age are more resis- tant to the use of antiepileptic therapy, these children have lower indicators of social functioning and psychophysi- cal development. Children with ASD and comorbid epileptic seizures tend to accumulate delays in the development of perceptual clusters, gross motor skills, visual-motor coordination, speech development, and cognitive skills. There are 4 variants of the clinical course of ASD: a variant with general developmental delay (accumulation of a lag from the expected developmental trajectory when asses- sing PER-R), a variant with a plateau of developmental delay, a variant with early onset of symptoms when assessing ADI-R and ADOS between the ages of 12 and 24 months; variant with late manifestation of autistic symptoms. In the IB subgroup cases of mental retardation predominate, compared to the control group and the IA sub- group, which indicates the accumulation of additional cases of seizure-free forms of epileptic encephalopathies, encephalopathies develop ment, encephalopathies with epileptic disintegration.
