Specifics of interdisciplinary borrowing as a source of the Anglo-American education terminology enrichment
Authors: Tsverkun Yu. B.
Published: July 2022

The given article reports on a study of the peculiarities of interdisciplinary borrowing as a source of the Anglo-American education terminology enrichment. Special focus is given to the terms built as a result of interdisciplinary borrowing that contain the cultural component of meaning in their semantic structure, since the given study was carried out in the framework of the concept of the cultural component of term meaning developed by V.A. Ikonnikova. Despite the fact that the most productive way of building education terms is syntactic, semantic term-formation is of great interest while studying terms in the socio-cultural aspect. This is due to necessity of using historical, etymological and cultural data for their analysis. In the paper the peculiarities of interdisciplinary borrowing as a source of education terminology replenishment is considered on the basis of the terminological units with the cultural component of meaning belonging to the British and US education terminological systems. Dictionary entry analysis and historical and etymological analysis of borrowed terminological units with the cultural component of meaning belonging to the terminological systems mentioned above let us make a conclusion that such units were borrowed from terminologies of the following fields: law, religion, public administration, business, geography, psychology etc. The proposed framework may be useful for studying and teaching sociocultural linguistics, linguistic and cultural studies, cross-cultural communication. The research findings may contribute to compiling special dictionaries of education terms.
Linguistic images in A.S. Pushkin’s travelogue «Journey to Arzrum»
Authors: Bezzubikova M. V. , Piavrai Sh.
Published: July 2022

The discursive-cognitive nature of the linguistic image includes: (a) a subject-sensory representation (the cognitive substrate of the phenomenon), (b) a figurative word acting as its verbal exponent (c) a discursive-associative architectonics of the communicative-event meanings of the concept projecting the corresponding linguistic image. Narrative discourse plays a special role in creating a linguistic image. In this speech-thinking environment, an image-generating context is formed with the effect of the presence of the narrator. The main idea is that narrative discourse provides the ability to convey a subjective vision of the experienced fragments of a communicative event with the help of a linguistic image. Discursive expansion fills symbolic concepts with autochthonous images and reveals in travel essays a rich and multifaceted palette of the eastern worldview. The extraction of ethno-cultural meanings is based on the selected components of the linguistic image. Ethnocultural meanings serve to create a picturesque exotic flavor in A.S. Pushkins travelogue Journey to Arzrum.
On the use of manipulative techniques in Еnglish literary discourse
Authors: Ovshieva N. L.
Published: July 2022

Manipulation is inherently incentive, aimed at exerting covert influence and inducing the recipient to the actions necessary for the manipulator. Such control is, first of all, the control of the mind, i.e. the beliefs of the recipients, and indirect control of their actions, with their beliefs being manipulated. This paper explores pragmatics of manipulative techniques in English literary discourse. Manipulation happens in implicit communication. Reading between the lines and explicating the implications of a text has become a primary focus in literary analysis. The analysis of linguistic material is carried out by means of discourse approach and pragmalinguistic method of research. The relevance of this study is determined by the need to cover all forms of interpersonal manipulation in fictional dialogue: deception, pressuring, and exploiting emotional vulnerability or character defects. The analysis showed that exploiting emotional vulnerability occurs much more frequently in fictional dialogue than other forms of manipulation. The investigation has focused on manipulative techniques as closely related to narrative irony. In a short story or a novel, narrative irony serves as scaffolding for using manipulation, viz. for creating the situation favourable for accomplishing the manipulators scheme.
Didactic functionality of discourse markers in teaching reading in English
Authors: Shugaeva А. S. , Korovina I. V.
Published: July 2022

This article is aimed at considering the potential of such a mechanism of text coherence as discourse markers, which can be used in teaching reading in English. The authors raise the problem of the necessity in finding effective methods for teaching reading in a foreign language to improve students reading literacy. The article is aimed at identifying and describing the linguodidactic technique promoting the development of reading skills in English with the help of discourse units. By applying typologization method supported by the contextual analysis the authors consider discourse markers in English academic articles and make an attempt to develop the extended functional classification of these units. Academic articles written in English were chosen as the material for the first part of the study due to the high-level structure of this genre, in which the mechanisms of cohesion and coherence are widely applied. Then, the authors are trying to involve B. Grabes visual schemes to illustrate discourse markers functional potential. These schemes are supplemented by the a modelling method to create various types of exercises that contribute to the development of reading skills in English with the help of discourse units. The results are characterized by novelty, since up till now discourse markers in teaching a foreign language have been applied for learning activities while the in the present paper the authors offer to consider them as a learning tool, namely a tool for speech skills development. The results obtained can be applied in teaching reading in English in secondary and high school.
Role of pragmatic potential of phraseological units in the realization of cognitive models of situations
Authors: Asabina А. А.
Published: July 2022

This article is devoted to the study of the role of pragmatic potential of phraseological units in the realization of cognitive models of situations. The timeliness of this work consists in the absence at the moment of information about the components of cognitive models of situations that can be most effectively used by the authors of articles to realize their pragmatic intentions through the pragmatic potential of phraseological units. The purpose of the study is to determine the components of cognitive models of situations that are actualized and brought to the fore through the pragmatics of phraseological units in the texts of the English-language media discourse, the reasons for the actualization of precisely these components of cognitive models of situations, as well as to establish what pragmatic goals of the authors this is due. To achieve it, the author has set the following tasks: sampling phraseological units from the English-language media discourse, drawing up schemes of cognitive models of situations, determining which component of the cognitive model is actualized with the help of a phraseological unit. The material for the analysis was articles from the British newspaper The Times dated May 22, 2021. The author of the article uses various methods: descriptive, contextual analysis, comparative, methods of observation, content analysis and discourse analysis. The study uses the linguistic concept of T.A. Van Dijk, which includes the analysis of the cognitive model of the situation and the allocation of its individual components: participants, their actions, circumstances and other components were identified. The analysis made it possible to identify the component action of cognitive models, which in most examples is brought to the fore through the pragmatics of FE, as well as to determine the cause of this phenomenon.
Punctuation means of expressing emotionality in a literary text in English and its translation into Russian
Authors: Andreeva E. Yu. , Glushkova N. M.
Published: July 2022

This article explores the special role played by punctuation for the expression of emotivity in modern biographical prose. Emphasizing the importance of punctuation means, the article touches upon the currently relevant problem of analyzing emotive techniques in the literary text. In this paper, the authors briefly highlight a number of approaches to the definition of the concepts of emotionality and emotivity, then consider modern classifications of punctuation means of expressing emotions in a literary text. The main task of the research is to identify the most significant means of conveying the emotional state of the characters of the biography novel at the punctuation level and compare them with the translation of the work into Russian. The research attempts to compare the use of punctuation means of the English and Russian versions of novels using comparative and descriptive methods, to identify common features and differences in the transmission of emotivity. As for the preliminary results of the study, the authors of the article note a number of cases when a writer goes beyond conventional punctuation to create emotive content. The general conclusion consists in the presence of synergy between the punctuation design of the novel, lexical and semantic means that occasionally perform its functions in translation, and the final emotive component, equally powerful in English and Russian.
Innovations in modern lexicographic discourse (based on the material of appendixes to the english online-dictionaries)
Authors: Kokovina A. M. , Kharkovskaya А. А.
Published: July 2022

The concepts of neologisms and buzzwords are discussed in the article based on linguistic illustrations from two lexicographic projects. This paper examines buzzwords registered in the on-line format of The Global Language monitor in 2020 and on-line version of Macmillan Online Dictionary in 20162020. Buzzwords reflect the adaptation of language to modern trends in the development of society and language, as they appear in the modern world to denote new realities. They contribute to a more accurate description of new processes in the development of the world and sociocultural realities in the English-speaking society. Due to the fast changes within the bulk of English buzzwords in the epoch of globalization the problem of their linguistic status has not been studied and described in details that is why it is reasonable to consider some aspects of their functional potential in the terms of linguocultural and sociocultural characteristics to contribute to the adequate interpretation of this word cluster relevant for modern English lexicography. Moreover, the study of English buzzwords is aimed at renewing the information about the interaction between human beings and their social, cultural setting and cognitive requirements. The classification worked out is considered as another attempt to establish the role of English buzzwords in consolidating renewed information about modern trends in the development the English language in the XX1 century.

Linguistic representation of psychotypes in the artistic discourse of W. Golding
Authors: Kuznetsov R. A.
Published: July 2022

The article is devoted to the study of specific lexical representations of psychotypes in the framework of a work of art. The relevance of this article is that linguists are concerned with studies in the field of functional linguistics and psycholinguistics, in which language is considered within the framework of an instrumental function. The aim of the work is to identify specific tokens that reflect the psychotypes of the characters. The material for the study is the lexemes from Lord of the Flies by William Golding. The meanings of selected language units convey the personal touch of Ralphs and Jacks nature. The study used contextual description and structural and semantic approach. The article describes their behavior and speech from the perspective of psychology and psycholinguistics. Ralph is a hypertim and Jack is an epileptoid. The contrast of the boys behavior indicates that the hypertim and epileptoid are not able to find a common language in the distribution of social roles. The characteristics of the psychotypes have an impact on the management of the group. Ralph manages the group in the following ways: relying on humanism, mutual understanding; he jokes to defuse the situation; he encourages the guys to save them from the outside, and tries to awaken the humaneness in the guys. Jack uses the following means of controlling the group: authoritarianism, mental intimidation, physical violence. Authoritarianism is expressed through the use of the imperative. Mental intimidation is achieved by using lexemes that reflect physical influences, insults. In addition, mental bullying occurs through body language (piercing gaze, looking down). In conclusion, the author comes to the following conclusion: psychotypes are transmitted mainly through lexemes that reflect body language; hypertim is reflected through language units with positive or neutral connotations, while epileptoid is expressed through language units with negative and neutral connotations.

Рetty-bourgeois estate: experience of semiotic analysis
Authors: Kobozeva Z. M.
Published: July 2022

The article analyzes the language of petty-bourgeois appeals to power as a semiotic problem. The cultural-semiotic approach to the problem of philistine linguistic picture of the world involves an appeal to the inner point of view of the philistines themselves. In order to analyze the picture of the world of a philistine reflected in his letter to the authorities, it is necessary to take into account many factors related to the level of education of the urban philistine environment, the upbringing adopted in philistine families, the reading circle, the possibility of obtaining information about the so-called high culture, to which representatives of the upper class had access. In this regard, another semiotic factor plays a significant role: fashion. Fashion is like a stone thrown into water. Someone is creating a fashion sign. And it is picked up and spread in society. Romanticism, as a historical and artistic style, influenced not only the texts of behavior of the highest Russian privileged class. The nobles were not in an isolated position from the rest of society. Their life also took place in Russian cities. The emotionality of the romantic era gradually, like circles on the water, became fashionable for the townspeople. Their cruel romance, becoming a kind of text of behavior, gradually covered the epistolary culture, traces of which are very difficult to detect in the sources of personal origin traditional for the historian, but can be caught in appeals to the authorities. The article analyzes the culture of these appeals, gestures of politeness, a certain strain and attempts to erase hierarchical boundaries. The author comes to the conclusion about the semiosphere of the city, which was in the general binary opposition of the Russian culture of the XIX century: between good and evil, between power and society.
Coreligionist parochial schools of the Samara province in the second half of the XIX – early XX century
Authors: Soloviev P. K.
Published: July 2022

The article presents a historical overview of the emergence and formation of educational institutions of the coreligionists of the Samara province in the pre-revolutionary period. The history of coreligionist parochial schools is considered in two main aspects. On the one hand, they were an integral part of the public education system in the Samara province and were in the general context of the development of school business in this region. On the other hand, Orthodox-Old Believers schools often arose on the initiative of the coreligionists themselves, not only with the aim of spreading literacy, but also as one of the necessary tools for preserving and transmitting confessional traditions. In connection with this circumstance, the coreligionist educational institutions had characteristic features that distinguished them from the rest of the parochial schools of the province. Among the peculiar features of the school business of coreligionists, the following features are indicated: the emphasis of the curriculum on teaching according to old-printed books, the close connection of the educational process with church worship, the pronounced missionary nature of the activities of coreligionist parochial schools. At the beginning of the XX century, coreligionist schools were formed as part of the public education system of the Samara province, having confessional specifics in the organization of the educational process. The article presents statistical data on the number of coreligionist schools, the number of students, the teaching staff and the material support of educational institutions. In the preparation of the article, the method of analysis of historical documents, historical-system, historical-comparative methods were used. The source base of the research is based on archival documents of the Central State Archive of the Samara region, as well as materials of official reports of school observers and missionaries published both in separate publications and on the pages of the Samara Diocesan Gazette (Samarskiye eparkhialnye vedomosty).
Struggle of the principles of universalism and specialization in the Soviet higher medical education of the post-war period (on the example of the Kuibyshev Medical Institute in 1945–1955)
Authors: Zavodyuk S. Yu. , Stolyarov O. D.
Published: July 2022

The article attempts to characterize the results of the struggle between the supporters of universalism and specialization in the field of higher medical education in the post-war period, based on the analysis of sources and literature. It is concluded that in 19451955 the trend towards specialization was more influential. The main forms of specialization characteristic of this period are singled out subordination, for the passage of which the sixth year of medical and preventive faculties was assigned, and specialized faculties. The most important factors that influenced both the process of strengthening specialization as a whole and its individual forms are identified. In particular, the relationship between the reform of E.I. Smirnov and the introduction of subordination, as well as strengthening the advisory and medical work of employees of medical universities. It is concluded that the formation of military medical and sanitary-prophylactic faculties in the post-war decade was the result of a correspondingly tense international situation and government changes in the field of control over compliance with sanitary and hygienic standards. In addition, the article touches upon issues related to the curtailment of the course towards specialization in the mid-1950-ies. The problem of the relationship between the discussion about the industrial and territorial organization of health care, on the one hand, and the opposition of tendencies towards universalism and specialization, on the other hand, is analyzed. A hypothesis has been put forward, according to which the reorganization of the public health system in accordance with the ideas of the supporters of the industrial approach contributed to the strengthening of specialization in the field of medical education. The changes that have taken place in this period in the higher medical school are considered on the example of the development of the Kuibyshev State Medical Institute.
Redistribution of powers and finances between Samara local self-government bodies during the intracity division reform in 2015–2020
Authors: Matveev M. N.
Published: July 2022

In 2015, a local self-government reform in the form of the creation of intracity districts has been implemented in Samara. Formally, each intracity district became an independent municipality, with its own representative body, the Council of Deputies, the head of administration elected by it, and its own budget. This required a redistribution of powers between the city level of government and intracity areas. At the start of the reform, it was declared that its main goal was bringing the government closer to the people. Therefore, it was expected that many important powers would be transferred to the district level. It was also expected that financial resources would be transferred along with these powers. Only in this case, the newly created municipalities at the level of Samara's urban districts could become full-fledged authorities. And the population of the districts would be able to receive most municipal services directly where they live. Also, deputies of numerous district councils would be able to perform their duties more efficiently. However, in practice it turned out that city officials are unwilling to share power and financial resources. And many powers cannot work at the district level due to the fact that their implementation requires constant coordination with the mayor of the city. In 20192020, the Local Self-Government Committee of the Samara Provincial Duma, under the leadership of the author, analyzed the results of the reform, which provided a lot of factual material. One of the areas of analysis was the redistribution of powers, which showed that most of the powers previously transferred to the district level were then taken back as well as finances, the self-government of the districts turned out to be a fiction. The results of the analysis of powers are presented in this publication. It should be said that the inefficiency of the model of local self-government with intra-city division obviously does not stem from its nature, but is directly related to the situation when the city level of government, together with the governor's, actually discredit it in the eyes of the population, depriving it of real powers and financial resources.
Formation of a student’s subjective position at a university
Authors: Ustinova N. P.
Published: July 2022

Modernization of education and its acquisition of a value-oriented foundation of the state policy of Russia assumes that the basis of pedagogical activity at the university is the creation of conditions for the self-development of a young person, his understanding of the role and personal participation in the development of the economy of the state. Currently, there is a problem of inclusion and involvement of the student in learning, which directly affects the formation of his active position in life and development prospects. One of the solutions may be the formation of a students subjective position in the process of learning and upbringing. In the article, the author defines subjectivity as an integrative property of personality, the system-forming components of which (motivational, cognitive and activity) reflect the orientation of the individual to understand the personal educational result. Based on the proposed structure, the stages of the formation of the students subjective position are considered. Each stage contributes to the formation of a certain type of universal educational actions, as a result of which there is a gradual increment of subjectivity. As a result, the student has an understanding of his own learning result, which contributes to the formation of specified competencies within the framework of external educational goals.

Main areas of study of noble corporations in modern historiography
Authors: Barinova E. P. , Trubitsyn I. O.
Published: July 2022

The article attempts to identify the main trends in modern domestic and foreign historiography in the study of noble corporations in Russia. The relevance of the study is due to both the increase in the interest of scientific community in this topic, and the revival of noble communities in the post-Soviet space. The main directions and methodology of researches are revealed, their grouping according to the problematic and chronological principle is carried out. It is noted that traditionally, researchers pay attention to the problems of interaction between noble societies and state institutions, socio-economic status and socio-political activities of both individual representatives of the corporation and regional noble societies. The main trend in the study of this topic is the predominance of regional studies. An analysis of new trends in the study of problems is given. It is noted that at the present stage in domestic and foreign historiography, a discussion continues about the time and nature of the emergence of noble corporations. A tendency to increase the number of studies in which attention is paid to the analysis of the composition of corporate employees is revealed, while it is noted that this area is poorly studied. Studies of public organizations created in the 1990-ies are aimed at identifying common features and specifics in comparison with pre-revolutionary institutions, assessing their activities in modern realities. The prospects for research of a complex nature, historical and legal, genealogical, microhistorical aspects of the problem are shown. Further study of the corps of servants of noble societies will allow not only to take a fresh look at the functioning of noble societies, but also to form a biographical narrative, which will facilitate the search for their ancestors. Of no small importance will be studies affecting the noble associations formed after the revolution of 1917.

Authors: Akhmetshina G. F.
Published: July 2022

The problem of improving the quality of educational services occupies a leading place in ensuring the demand in the labor market and the competitiveness of graduates of educational organizations. The integration of the concepts of quality of the educational process and quality of the result of education gives the concept of quality of educational services. The quality of educational services is influenced by the quality of teaching and the material and technical support of the educational process. The result of education is changes in the competence of the student, the formation of professionally important personality qualities, the assessment of which is an important component of the educational process. Providing students with the opportunity to develop in the educational process allows them to fully realize their own capabilities and abilities, which also affects the result of education. The article analyzes the work on the organization of control and evaluation activities in educational organizations of various levels. As this analysis has shown, most authors offer their own model of the organization of control and evaluation activities corresponding to the set goal and consisting of various components. Teachers-researchers offer various methods, types, forms, stages of control organization. The purpose of control and evaluation activities is to monitor, control, diagnose, analyze, and evaluate the quality of mastering individual knowledge, skills and practical experience in a discipline or module, the formation of competencies and professionally important personal qualities of the student. As part of the study, it was revealed that control has an impact on the motivational component of the learning process. The students reflexive activity contributes to the transition from control to self-control, from assessment to self-assessment, from analysis to introspection. The control process should be systematic, planned and carried out in the direction of goal-result.

Authors: Mousavi Seyedeh Sarah , Namayandeh Seyedeh Mahdieh , Fallahzadeh Hossein , Rahmanian Masoud , Mollahosseini Mehdi
Published: July 2022

Background: Almost 90% of people with diabetes have type 2 diabetes and the upward trend of this chronic disease is still ongoing, so that after about four decades, this disease is still one of the top 10 causes of death, while half of these deaths occur in people under 60 years of age. Therefore, prevention is essential and the implementation of the most effective intervention approach is required after recognizing at-risk individuals. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of lifestyle modification interventions and metformin on the prevention of type 2 diabetes and improvement in four risk factors related to diabetes.
Methods: The study was conducted by searching PubMed, Scopus, Web of science, and Google Scholar without time and language restrictions. Randomized controlled trials which examined the effect of both lifestyle modification interventions and metformin in a population over the age of 18 years with no history of any type of diabetes were included. After the withdrawal of poor quality studies and those withfollow-up time of less than 6 months, structured review and meta-analysis will be performed to calculate the relative risk of type 2 diabetes incidence and mean difference in weight, body mass index, plasma fasting glucose, and hemoglobin A1c. Data analysis was performed using comprehensive meta-analysis software version 2.2.064.
Conclusion: This study will make it possible to choose between two conventional therapeutic approaches (lifestyle modification and metformin) to prevent type 2 diabetes and its impact on four risk factors.
Effect of Grape and its Derivatives on Cognitive Function: A Systematic Review of Clinical Trials
Authors: Barzegaran Mahdieh , Khorasanian Atie Sadat , Jazayeri Shima , Foroughan Mahshid
Published: July 2022

Background: According to the world health organization (WHO), in 2019, around 50 million people suffer from dementia, worldwide; and approximately 60% live in low- and middle-income countries. Dementia has physical, psychological, social, and economic effects on dementia sufferers, their caregivers, families, and the community.
Objectives: This systematic review investigated the effect of short-term and long-term interventions with grapes and their derivatives on different cognitive functions, such as executive function, memory, attention and language in all people.
Methods: Pubmed, Scopus, and Proquest were searched until June 12, 2020 for English studies. Clinical trials in which grapes and its derivatives were considered as an intervention and changes of cognition and its components as an outcome, were selected. Two independent individuals assessed the quality of the articles according to Jadad checklist and extracted the information of the articles with inclusion criteria based on a specific table. The differences were resolved with the discussion and opinion of a third person.
Results: Nine Studies (211 individuals) were included in the content analysis, of which 3 studies had short-term intervention and 6 studies had long-term intervention with grape juice, freeze-dried grape powder, and a syrup made from grapes (Enoant Syrup). It can be said that the consumption of grapes and its derivatives improved various cognitive components (such as attention, executive function, immediate spatial memory, learning, and driving skill) between groups.
Conclusion: In general, long-term intervention with grapes and their derivatives has led to the improvement of some cognitive functions, but its short-term intervention is not very effective and only 2 studies showed improvement in attention speed. However, the included studies were highly heterogeneous and more research is needed using similar cognitive assessment tools.

Authors: Qoran Ali Hafez , Koodaryan Roodabeh , Hassanzadeh Vahid , Omrani Rad Elnaz
Published: July 2022

Introduction: Evaluation of alveolar bone thickness is crucial for proper implant placement and support and aesthetics of soft tissue around implant restorations. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between skeletal protrusion of jaw and labiolingual inclination of teeth with maxillary and mandibular anterior alveolar bone thickness using computed beam computed tomography (CBCT).
Materials & Methods: In this descriptive-analytical study, cone beam computed tomography images were obtained from 100 patients referred to the radiology department of Tabriz Dental School from 2013-2015 before implant insertion. Maxillary and mandibular protrusion was determined by measuring SNA (Sella-nasion-A point) and SNB (Sella-nasion-B point) angles and labiolingual inclination of maxillary and mandibular anterior teeth was determined by measuring U1-NA (Upper 1-Nasion A point) and L1-NB (Lower1-Nasion B point) angles. Then, thickness of buccal bone was measured at three levels: 3 mm below the CEJ (A), the middle part of the root (B) and the apex (C). Data were analyzed by using descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation) and Pearson’s correlation coefficient and p value < 0.05 will be considered statistically significant.
Results: Mean thickness of bone was higher at level C than other two levels and lower at level A than others. There is no statistically significant relation between mean maxillary bone thickness and SNA (p value > 0.05) except for B region on canine (Pearson correlation coefficient = 0.305 and p value < 0.05). There is no statistically significant relation between the mean maxillary bone thickness and U1-NA. There is no statistically significant relation between mean mandibular bone thickness and SNB and L1-NB. (p value > 0.05).
Conclusion: There was no statistically significant relation between maxillary and mandibular protrusion and labiolingual inclination of upper and lower anterior teeth with alveolar bone thickness.
Comparison of Marginal Compliance and Microleakage of CL V Restorations in Deciduous Anterior Teeth Using Two Different RMGI Liners
Authors: Talebianpour Saeedeh , Attarzadeh Hajar
Published: July 2022

Introduction: Microleakage has always been a problem in restorative dentistry. To decrease microleakage, different restorative techniques and materials have been recommended. The purpose of this study was to evaluate micro leakage of the composite restoration in deciduous anterior teeth using the open sandwich technique by two different liners.
Materials & Methods: This cross-sectional experimental study was conducted at Khorasgan University in 2019. A total of sixty intact deciduous canine teeth were divided into 3 groups of 20. At the buccal surface of the specimens, the Class V cavity was extracted at 1 mm below the CEJ (Cementoenamel junction) and in groups 1 and 2, ionoseal liner and Fuji II ionomer glass were placed at the buccal floor. Cavities were restored with Z250 composite resin. In group 3 which served as the control, restorations was perfromed without liners. All samples are prepared for establishment after dying in methylene blue 0.5% solution. The buccal lingual incisions with a thickness of 1 mm were inspected under stereo microscope for micro leakage. A total of 5 samples were extracted from each group via random sampling to examine the marginal compliance under SEM (Scanning electron microscope). The intergroup comparisons were made using the chi-square and Kruskal-Wallis tests. Besides, intra-group comparisons were performed using the Mann-Whitney U test. All statistical procedures were performed at a significance level of less than 0.05 (p value < 0.05) using Gpower software.
Results: The outcome of this study showed that microleakage of gingival margin in open sandwich techniques with ionoseal and Fuji II (group 1, 2) was significantly higher than in control group (p value = 0.033).but in comparison between group 1,2 there was no significant difference (p value = 0.795). In SEM evaluation there was no significant difference in gingival microleakage (p value = 0.232).
Conclusion: Use of two liners: Ionoseal and Fuji II in Class V cavities restored by opensandwich technique in deciduce anterior teeth can reduce gingival microleakage.

Introduction: Oral health is an important factor affecting quality of life. This research examined the correlates of demand for basic dental services among the Iranian households.
Materials & Methods: This research was a secondary data analysis of cross-sectional data in which the data extracted from National Survey of Iran’s Household Income and Expenditure Survey-2018 were analyzed. The study sample included 17548 eligible households from whole country. The logistic regression model was used to analyze demand for basic dental services. Three regression models were estimated.
Results: The probability of demand for basic dental services was reduced as households’ heads were more educated, non-married or unemployed (p value < 0.05). The probabilities of demand for basic dental services were higher among households of higher income quintiles comparing to the first income quintile (p value < 0.05). Furthermore, the probability of demand for basic dental services was higher among those households with elderlies aged more than 70 years old or those households with children aged between 6-12 years old (p value < 0.05).
Conclusion: The possibility of demand for basic dental services was correlated to demographic and economic factors as well as age component of household’s members. As a result, dental health policymakers should pay attention to demographic and economic status and age status of population.

Introduction: Professional ethics in any field of medical specialties lead to better communication between patient and doctor and ultimately improve the quality of health care and patient satisfaction will follow. So, we aimed to evaluate the professional communication skills in students before and after training in an attempt to improve the clinical skills in all students of medicine and dentistry.
Materials & Methods: This quasi experimental study had 100 dental students from Isfahan University of Medical Sciences enrolled in the year 2016 before and after taking the course and were rated using valid and reliable questionnaires and then the scores were compared. The data was analysed via independent-t test and co-variance. P value = 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Results: Based on the results of data analysis a difference between the level of students' knowledge before and after the lessons were observed. Moreover, the mean score for men and women after completing the course did not significantly differ. Based on the results of independent t test scores in men and women's clinical skills before taking the course, there was no significant difference (p value = 0.689). There was no significant relationship between other subscales and gender before and after training (p value = 0.2).
Conclusion: According to the results of data analysis, the theoretical presentation of the course has improved students' perceptions of clinical skills. Therefore, taking into account the views of dental students is one of the necessary elements in improving the education and training of oral health care providers in the community in the future.
