The aim: The aim of the study is to assess the quality of medical care and determine the relationship between treatment outcomes of patients and acute respiratory viral infectious disease caused by SARS-CoV-2,depending on patients` age, the time from onset of symptoms to hospitalization, and the presence of comorbidity.
Materials and methods: According to the specially designed form, a retrospective analysis of primary accounting documents was carried out (f. No. 103/o) in 158 patients with COVID-19. The research was carried out in specialized inpatient infectious diseases wards of health institutions of the Sumy region during the period from April to September 2020. The study used a systemic approach, bibliosemantic, comparative and statistical analyses, logical generalization methods.
Results: Among the study group of patients, namely 158 people, a bigger number of women (56.33±3.95%) than men (43.67±3.95%) were recorded. Patients of working age (from 18 to 64 years old) took 70.89±3.61% of all patients, and people aged 65 years and older – 29.11±3.61%. The time from the beginning of symptoms to hospitalization in each second patient (49.37±3.98%) lasted 5-7 days. In most cases, the patient’s stay in the hospital equaled 13-15 bed-days – 32.28±3.72%. The index of patients with severe and critical state was 20.89±3.23% (33 patients). In 8.23±2.19% (13 people) of treated cases of hospital stay ended in death. A large index of patients with a severe course of the disease, the treatment of which ended in discharge, were in hospital for more than 13 bed days – 12.03±2.59% (19 people). All of these patients were older, had CNCDs (chronic non-communicable diseases), half of them were hospitalized on day 7 and later from the onset of symptoms.
Conclusions: In older people, the disease progresses faster and complications are developing more often. Also, the severity of the SARS-CoV-2 pattern and the length of staying in the hospital are affected by the time starting the onset of symptoms till hospitalization and the presence of CNCDs. The hereinafter data allows to increase knowledge about spreading of COVID-19, to improve the quality of organizational and preventive events in the provision of medical care, and reducing mortality.

The aim: Identify the types of eating behaviour in overweight and obesity depending on gender and age.
Materials and methods: A survey of 210 people (men -105, women -105) was conducted. The age of women ranged from 19 to 60 years, the average age was 41.5 ± 11.2 years. The age of men ranged from 22 to 60 years, the average age was 42.3 ± 12.3 years. The examined patients were divided into two clinical groups: group I – 70 people (women – 35, men – 35) with overweight. BMI of persons of the I group from 25.8 kg / m2 to 29,3 kg / m2 (BMTmid. = 27,5 ± 1,31 kg / m2); Group II – 72 people with 1st degree obesity (women -36, men – 36). Evaluation of eating disorders was carried out using the DEBQ questionnaire (Nederland) adapted to the purpose of the study.
Results: In patients of groups I and II healthy type of eating behaviour was recorded less often than in control groups, 5.38 times (D = 13.561, p = 0.002 <0.05) and 10.45 times (D = 21.043, p = 0.022 <0.05), respectively. In group I, the restrictive type of EB among women occurred 1.7 times more often than in men (D = 0.852, p = 0.001). In group II, the restrictive type of EB among women was observed 1.3 times more often than in men (D = 0.382, p = 0.005).
Conclusions: Restrictive eating behaviour disorders are one of the leading factors in the development of overweight and obesity. Correction of eating disorders in obese people must be carried out taking into account the gender and age characteristics of the patient, to obtain positive results for a shorter course of treatment.

The aim: To determine the level of public awareness of COVID-19 and information needs, as well as level of public confidence in both official information on COVID-19 and to develop recommendations for communication policy on longer-term awareness in pandemic settings COVID-19, using principles of behavioral economics.
Materials and methods: 4 focus group interviews were conducted in residents of Ukraine, with a total quantity of 48 people aged 16-70 years questioned and an anonymous questionnaire was conducted in 1,700 respondents, representing the adult population aged 18 years and older from all over Ukraine. The representative error of the study with probability of 0.95 does not exceed 4%. The processing of questionnaires was carried out by SDU Center of Social Researches (SDUCSR) employees, using the OSA program.
Results: 28.5% of respondents believe that politicians and media underestimate the danger of the COVID-19 epidemic, while other 28.1% believe that politicians and media adequately assess its danger. 18.9% of respondents are sure that the danger is exaggerated. As much as 24.5% of Ukrainian respondents could not decide on such assessment. The most common sources of information about disease/treatment are Internet and social media. Traditional media and relatives/acquaints who endured the COVID-19 also gain population`s confidence. A family doctor is the least popular source of information. 42.1% of respondents do not trust official information on the number of infected people and severity of the disease, and another 40% are not sure whether they should trust or not. Only 17.9% of respondents trust official information.
Conclusions: Within informing the society about public health in conditions of a COVID-19 pandemic it is better to provide communication strategy for various target audiences: for youth which is inclined to underestimate threats of epidemic and obtains information on social networks; for people of a retirement age (as risk group) who lack information because they use only traditional media (mainly TV); for women who need psychological support to decrease in level of stress in the family more often and also to overcome the negative post-stressful situations (connected with the death of the family/relatives); for men who are inclined to neglect their own health, etc.; for the people who have endured COVID-19 to prevent possible reinfection in them.

The aim: To study the odontoglific and odometometric parameters of molar crowns of the upper and lower jaws in males and females.
Materials and methods: To achieve the aim of the research was used odontoglyphic, odometometric and statistical methods of research.
Results: We have found that male molars of the upper jaw are characterized by approximately the same ratio between the vestibular-palatal and mesial-distal diameters of the crown, so the teeth are square-formed. For female large angular teeth of the upper jaw the predominance of vestibular-palatal over mesial-distal diameters of the crown is characteristic, which results in an oval form of the teeth. On having analyzed the forms of the third lower molars, it can be affirmed that for this group of teeth various variational forms of crowns, from three- to five-tuber forms, are characteristic. Vestibular-lingual and mesio-distal sizes also vary according to the type of odontoglific pattern of occlusal crown surface.
Conclusions: We consider it expedient to take into account the abovementioned characteristics of the masticatory surface of molars of the upper and lower jaws of male and female persons for the creation of qualitative orthopedic structures that would fully restore the masticatory function.

The aim: Of this study was to analyze epidemiological data on the detection of immunoglobulins of class M and G (IgM, IgG) to SARS-CoV-2 among urban and rural population of Poltava region. Materials and methods: We have analyzed the research results of 2841 patients to determine IgM and IgG levels to SARS-CoV-2. The study included the results of patients in Poltava and nearby villages of Poltava region, obtained during July – December 2020. Results: Thus, 84% of patients applied for detection of IgM in the serum of patients with the pathogen COVID-2019. We have found only 135 positive results for the detection of IgM to SARS-CoV-2, which was 5.7% of the total number of people who underwent this study from July to December 2020. Moreover, women received a positive result more often than men. The IP samples for the detection of IgM to SARS-CoV-2 in the serum of patients averaged 2.5 ± 1.04. It was found that patients went to the laboratory to detect IgG to SARS-CoV-2 with the vast majority among them were residents of Poltava. However, in this case the share of positive results was 47.7%, among which the female population outnumbered the male. Conclusions: The frequency of detection of positive results on IgM to SARS-CoV-2 is about 6%. The share of positive results on IgG to SARS-CoV-2 was 47.7%, among them 76.2% were women. The frequency of detection of IgM and IgG to SARS-CoV-2 during October-December 2020 significantly exceeds the indices in July-September of the same year.

Published: June 2021

The aim: To investigate factors that can negatively affect societal resilience in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and identify communication aspects of strengthening resilience through information policy formation.
Materials and methods: In the research process, the authors employed the monographic and abstract-logical methods. The communication aspect analysis of strengthening social resilience in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic also grounded upon the results of the authors’ sociological study “Motivation of compliance/non-compliance with quarantine restrictions by the population of Ukraine”. Focus-group interviews and surveys. A total of 1,700 respondents represent the adult population of Ukraine aged 18 and older (except those living on the territory temporarily not controlled by the Ukrainian authorities – the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, some areas of Donetsk and Luhansk
regions). The error of the study representativeness with a probability of 0.95: does not exceed 4%.
Results:The analysis results indicate that under pandemic conditions informational space of Ukraine is charging with low-quality and diverse information and is getting out
of control, which entails adverse effects on societal resilience. Besides, a survey conducted by the SSU Center for Social Studies endorses the availability of communication gaps. The poll claims 38.6% of Ukrainians to be dissatisfied with their awareness level of Covid-19 because the information is contradictory and unreliable. The opinion poll also proves the low level of Ukrainians’ trust in state institutions and official details on the Covid-19 pandemic. Furthermore, violations of quarantine restrictions are socially acceptable, and a significant part of the population tends to ignore such violations by others. That is, among Ukrainians, compliance with quarantine restrictions has not become a social norm.
Conclusions: An essential component for molding social resilience is the development and adoption of communication policies to change human behavior in the long-term
in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. The government should also develop a Public Health Awareness Concept in the pandemic with appropriate implementation plans at
the state, regional and territorial community levels.

The aim: The work was aimed to study the histological, morphometric and planimetric features of skin regeneration in mature rats with chronic hyperglycemia under the influence of platelet-rich plasma.
Materials and methods: 60 mature white laboratory rats were used. The animals were divided into three groups (I – control with mechanical skin injuries; II – rats with chronic hyperglycemia and modeled mechanical skin injuries; III – animals with the chronic hyperglycemia and modeled mechanical skin injuries which were injected with the platelet-rich plasma). The samples were studied using light microscopy.Statistical data processing was performed using SPSS-17.
Results: On the 21st day, the epithelialization of control mature rats wound was almost complete. The epithelium contained all layers without pathological changes. The new dermis has been reorganized into papillary and reticular layers. On the 21st day, the wound of rats with chronic hyperglycemia was not completely covered with the epidermis. The connective tissue of the dermis was disorganized. On the 21st day, the wound epithelialization was also more complete in mature rats with chronic hyperglycemia received platelet-rich plasma compared to the rats with chronic hyperglycemia. The dermis contained a large number of blood vessels with normal, full-blooded lumens.
Conclusions: The chronic hyperglycemia leads to disruption of epithelialization processes, angiogenesis, a delay in the reorganization of dermis connective tissue, and vascular remodeling. The injections of autologous platelet-rich plasma promote faster angiogenesis, reduce inflammation, and accelerate wound epithelialization.

The aim: Is to determine the features of the HIV infection and changes in indicators of endogenous intoxication and immunoreactivity depending on the clinical stage and the level of CD4 lymphocytes.
Materials and methods: 72 HIV-patients were examined. Comparison group included 40 healthy blood donors. Clinical and laboratory examination was performed. Indicators of endogenous intoxication, nonspecific reactivity and inflammatory activity were calculated.
Results:Main opportunistic infections were: oropharyngeal candidiasis; tuberculosis of different localization, more often pulmonary tuberculosis; and brain toxoplasmosis (p<0,05). Indices of endogenous intoxication and immunoreactivity are important objective criteria for diagnosis. In groups where the distribution of patients depended on the level of CD4 cells – HIV (CD4≥500) and HIV (CD4≤499-200), index changes were more pronounced than in the HIV I and HIV III groups. The most significant changes in indexes were in the HIV IV clinical group and the HIV (CD4≤199) group: endogenous intoxication indexes were increased by 1,2-7,5 and 1,9-13,7 times in both groups respectively. Non-specific reactivity indexes were decreased by 1,2-1,6 and 1,3-1,6 times, respectively; nuclear index (NI) in groups was 3 and 3,4 times higher (p<0,05–0,001). Changes in indexes of inflammatory activity were observed (p<0,05-0,001).
Conclusions: Main diagnosed opportunistic infections were: oropharyngeal candidiasis; tuberculosis of different localization; and brain toxoplasmosis (p<0,05). Indices of endogenous intoxication and immunoreactivity are important objective criteria for diagnosis. The most significant changes in indexes were in the HIV IV clinical group and the HIV (CD4≤199) group (p<0,05-0,001).

Pluralidad y mundo común en Hannah Arendt
Authors: Moya Urueña Daniel
Published: June 2021

El artículo explora los aportes del pensamiento político de Hannah Arendt en la resignificación de lo político a la luz de la exclusión y el desarraigo de la persona migrante en el mundo actual. Se discuten los hallazgos de la investigación hermenéutico-fenomenológica, desde los conceptos de pluralidad y mundo común: 1) su experiencia como migrante apátrida e influencia en su pensamiento político; 2) la migración y el desarraigo como síntomas de la crisis de la postmodernidad; y 3) la construcción del mundo común desde la pluralidad humana como paradigma para garantizar los derechos humanos de las personas migrantes.
Homicidio, acuerdo de paz, y construcción de paz en el territorio colombiano
Authors: Uni Chilito Jennifer
Published: June 2021

Se analiza el homicidio desde 2012 - 2019, en 313 municipios Zomac (zonas más afectadas por el conflicto). Se encuentra que la firma del Acuerdo de Paz incidió en el desescalamiento del conflicto, el cual se ha interrumpido en territorios con alta presencia narcoparamiltar, quienes aprovechan el vacío de poder que dejan las FARC para ejercer control territorial en zonas ricas en recursos naturales saqueables. La polarización y falta de voluntad política implica la implementación de los Acuerdos y es un obstáculo para la eliminación de la violencia estructural y directa que persiste en las Zomac.
Sacred art as the highest manifestation of a person's spiritual worldview
Authors: Shelkovaya Natalya
Published: June 2021

The article is devoted to the problem of the formation of a spiritual worldview, the spiritualization of a person, a meeting with the sacred world, God, which is very relevant in the modern technogenic world, through communication with the sacred art, which has its own symbolic language, its own characteristic for each religion, signs that are important for a person as a spiritual, in its main essence, being. The author reveals the nature of sacred art, compares attitudes towards it in the Middle Ages and in our time, reveals the deep symbols of sacred architecture and painting in Christianity, sacred architecture in Islam, and painting in Chan Buddhism.
A comparative analysis of the symbols of the sacred art of these religions showed the profound unity of their main ideas: the idea of creating the world in the Void (Creatio ex Nihilo), the idea of the creation of the world by Light, the idea of the manifestation of the Word of God in Christianity and Islam; revealed the common goal of the sacred art of these religions — unity with God, the spiritual world, nature by getting rid of their egoistic subjectivity; discovered a similarity in the creative process of an icon painter in Christianity and an artist in Chan Buddhism and led to conclusions about the synonymy of the concepts of God in Christianity, Allah in Islam and Emptiness in Buddhism.
Organizational and economic processes of Ukrainian film production in the 1920’s
Authors: Myslavskyi Volodymyr
Published: June 2021

The article examines the formation of the material and technical base of Ukrainian film production based on the wide range of little-known publications in the Ukrainian and Russian periodicals of the 1922-1930s. The influence of the technical equipment of film factories on the quality indicator of film production in the 1920s is analyzed. The All-Ukrainian Photo and Film Administration did not receive the necessary state funding for the development of film production and had to independently seek the possibility of such funding.
Initially, the main investments were directed to the development of the Odessa and partly Yalta film factories. In the second half of the 1920s, it was decided to build the largest cinema factory in the USSR in Kyiv, and therefore all funds were directed to this construction. However, after the transition to the production of sound films, the Kyiv Film Factory turned out to be completely unadapted to such processes. The article also discusses the negative consequences associated with the uneven distribution of funding for the development of three film factories.
Bearing Fault Detection in Induction Motors Using Line Currents
Authors: M Sunder , R Abishek , S Sabarivelan , Maiti Monalisa , Bingi Kishore
Published: June 2021

This paper focuses on the development of a bearing fault detection model for induction motors using line currents. The graphical and numerical analysis of the model has been developed using the park's vector approach and envelope based on the Hilbert transform. The proposed model has been evaluated on currents measured from eight different types of induction motors. The graphical results from the Concordia pattern between d- and q-components of stator currents show that healthy bearing behaviour is circular compared to the faulty bearing's elliptical. The numerical results show that the minimum and maximum envelope of d- and q-components of stator currents is more significant than one. The sum of Kurtosis for the envelope of d- and q-components of stator currents is less than 5.0.

DETECTION OF AGE-RELATED MACULAR DEGENERATION FROM OCT IMAGES USING DOUBLE SCALE CNN ARCHITECTURE
Authors: Sabi S. , Gopi Varun P. , Raj J. R. Anoop
Published: June 2021

An ocular disease that affects the elderly is Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD). Because of the aging population in society, AMD incidence is increasing; early diagnosis is vital to avoid vision loss in the elderly. It is a challenging process to organize a comprehensive eye screening system for detecting AMD. This paper proposes a novel Double Scale Convolutional Neural Network (DSCNN) architecture for an accurate AMD diagnosis. The architecture proposed is a DSCNN with six convolutional layers for classifying AMD or normal images. The double-scale convolution layer enables many local structures to be generated with two different filter sizes. In this proposed network, the sigmoid function is used as the classifier. The proposed CNN network is trained on the Mendeley data set and tested on four data sets, namely Mendeley, OCTID, Duke, SD-OCT Noor data set, and achieved an accuracy of 99.46%, 98.08%, 96.66%, and 94.89% respectively. The comparison with alternative methods provided results showing the efficacy of the proposed algorithm in detecting AMD. Although the proposed model is trained only on the Mendeley data set, it achieved good detection accuracy when evaluated with other data sets. This indicates the proposed model’s ability to classify AMD/Normal images from different data sets. Comparison with other approaches produced results that exhibit the efficiency of the proposed algorithm in detecting AMD. The proposed architecture can be applied in the rapid screening of the eye for the early detection of AMD. Due to less complexity and fewer learnable parameters, the proposed CNN can be implemented in real-time.
