The evaluation of the sanitary-hygienic and ecological state of the environment on the territory of the location of the former silo launchers of intercontinental ballistic missiles after their partial elimination, as practical testing of the main provisions of the developed draft methodological manual on ensuring of environmental and hygienic safety of the sites for placing silo launchers after their decommissioning and Land reclamation. A comprehensive observation of the combat launch positions of liquid intercontinental ballistic silo based missiles after their decommissioning and partial liquidation was carried out. In accredited testing laboratories in soil, water, building structures, there were carried out.studies of the qualitative and quantitative content of unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine (UDMH) and its degradation products, heavy metals, radionuclides. In studied soil samples unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine was found to be in the soil in 69.4.7% of cases, and in 40.8% of cases in the studied samples, the excess of the MPC content of UDMH was recorded by 1.2 - 32 times. The study of soil on the degradation products of UDMG revealed their presence in some substances in most of studied samples, but their values did not exceed the MPC. The content of a number of heavy metals, both anthropogenic (zinc, lead, nickel) and natural (cobalt, chromium) nature was noted to exceed the maximum permissible and approximately permissible concentrations. It has been established that if the incomplete disposal of the former chemically hazardous facilities of the Ministry of Defense and land reclamation is concerned, the environment may contain toxic and highly toxic substances in concentrations exceeding the established standards. This circumstance determines the potential danger of decommissioned, but not properly disposed former military facilities for the environment, as well as for the local population. The experience gained during the practical activities made it possible to make the necessary additions and changes to the final version of the draft document on ensuring environmental and hygienic safety of the areas where the silo launchers were placed after their decommissioning and land reclamation.

Authors: Kravtsov Oleg I.
Published: October 2019

In the article there is considered the content of the terms of such branches of science as "psycho-hygiene" and "psycho-prophylaxis", the history of the incurrence, tasks, structure, interrelationship and significance in the activity of specialists taking part in the elimination of consequences of radiation accidents and incidents. Psycho-hygiene, presenting a part of general hygiene, is an interdisciplinary field of scientific knowledge referred to general and social hygiene, social and medical psychology, and psychiatry also. It deals with the influence of various environmental factors and labor activity on the mental health of a person, as well as the development and implementation of measures to preserve people's mental health at the public, group and individual levels. The main subject of psycho-hygiene is mentally healthy people, and the most important task is the creation and provision of conditions for the formation of a harmoniously developed personality. In psycho-hygiene, like any other science, there are several areas of activity. These are: fundamental, applied and practical. In the form of the implementation of measures, it is divided into preventive, restorative and curative. Psycho-prophylaxis is a system of state, social, psychological, hygienic and medical measures aimed at ensuring a high level of mental health and preventing the occurrence of mental disorders. Psycho-prophylaxis has such main subject as subclinical, painful manifestations in the psyche of people, in the conditions of occurrence and impact of unfavorable and stressful factors on the person. It develops and implements measures to prevent the occurrence of mental illness, and also facilitates the rehabilitation of people with mental disorders. Considerable attention is paid to the role and importance of psycho-hygiene and psycho-prophylaxis in the activity of emergency rescue teams. In the course of the elimination of consequences of radiation accidents and incidents, in this category there is possible the appearance of psychological trauma with a complex, specific and multifactorial stress effect that underlies a whole spectrum of mental disorders. The implementation of a complex of timely psycho-preventive measures will allow reveal initial signs of mental disadaptation, psychosomatic pathology, emotional burnout and determine effective measures for restoring and preserving mental health in emergency rescue specialists of teams of Federal Medical Biophysical Centre of the the Federal Medical Biological Agency of Russia.

Chrysanthemum cinerariifolium (C. cinerariifolium) is an empirically proven medicinal plant that has anticancer activities. This study aimed to profile metabolites, and cytotoxic activity of root, leaf, stem, and root extracts C. cinerariifolium on T47D cells and to determine the correlation of metabolite content with cytotoxic activity. The metabolite profile was carried out using UPLC-QToF-MS / MS, and cytotoxic activity was carried out using the MTT method. The results obtained in the form of a chromatogram were processed with the application Masslynk so that a metabolite profile data obtained. The data is then analyzed statistically using Principal Component Analysis (PCA). The results obtained on metabolite profiling showed that there were differences in metabolite profiles in the roots, stems, leaves, and chrysanthemums. The characteristic compounds in the flower section are D - (-) - Morphine and in the leaf part of genistein  and N - [(5-Chloro-1,2,3-thiadiazol-4-yl) methyl] -1- (2-isopropyl-4 -methyl-1,3-thiazol-5-yl) -N-methyl ethanolamine. The major compounds in the roots, stems, and leaves are Orphenadrine with successive percentages of 9.11%, 10.16%, and 3.24%, and the major compounds in the flower section are D - (-) - Morphine with a percentage of 10, 86%. Furthermore, the results of the cytotoxic activity test showed differences in anticancer cytotoxic activity in the parts of the flower, leaf, stem, and root of C. cinerariifolium. Besides, there is a relationship between the metabolite content and anticancer cytotoxic activity of each part of C. cinerariifolium. The higher the level of orphenadrine compounds in the plant, the higher the potential for anticancer.

Authors: Flannery Daniel J. , Tossone Krystel , Kretschmar Jeff , Butcher Frederick , Singer Mark I.
Published: October 2019

The purpose of this study was to create a reliable, quick and easy to administer screening measure of violence exposure and trauma for children from infancy through age 7. In a sample of 6,676 children, caregivers completing a 22-item screener reported nearly one out of five youth had been exposed as witness or victim to at least one kind of violence. For trauma, caregivers reported that their children had trouble going to sleep at least sometimes (15.83%), had cried or had a tantrum to exhaustion (15.61%) and had difficulty concentrating or focusing (15.55%). Analyses showed reliable internal consistency for violence exposure (.74) and trauma (.85) scales. Factor analyses revealed a single trauma factor and two violence exposure factors, witnessing and victimization. These data provide support for a brief screening measure for trauma and violence exposure in children from birth through age seven that can be administered by minimally trained staff in public systems and community-based agencies who can then refer children and families to necessary assessment and treatment services.
Childhood Polyvictimization and the Life Course: Associations With Depression and Crime
Authors: Carbonaro Richard S.
Published: October 2019

Exposure to multiple forms of victimization has been shown to have increasingly negative outcomes, but their unique trajectory-setting effects have been largely unexplored. Using a life course approach, this article examines the life trajectories of child polyvictims. I use a nationwide sample including 3,652 respondents after cleaning and preparation. Seemingly unrelated regressions were used to predict depression and criminal behavior in childhood and adulthood. Results suggest that children who experience multiple forms of parental abuse tend to have life trajectories which grow increasingly worse through the life course. However, life trajectories of children experiencing violence outside the home have less persistent negative outcomes. Researchers and interventions should take differing life trajectories into account when attempting to aid different types of polyvictims.

Published: October 2019

Intimate partner violence is an important public health issue affecting the well-being of the young adults. However, there is little epidemiological evidence on the incidence and associated mental health problems of both intimate partner violence perpetration and victimization in Chinese context. Using one representative community sample of 1,227 young adults aged 18–27 years in 2016, this study aimed to examine the prevalence, sociodemographic characteristics, and possible mental health consequences of intimate partner violence among young adults in Hong Kong. It is found that the prevalence of preceding 1-year intimate partner violence perpetration and victimization was 5.3% and 9.1% respectively. The perpetrators were worse educated, unemployed, and married, while the victims were also unemployed and cohabited. Compared with those without involving in any intimate partner violence, perpetrators of intimate partner violence were more likely to engage in frequent smoking and alcohol use, and victims of intimate partner violence reported lower life satisfaction, more self-harm behaviors, higher suicide ideation and attempt, and heavy alcohol use. Both perpetrators and victims were more likely to report the worst mental health problems and high risky behaviors.
The Role of Perspective Taking and Alexithymia in Associations Between Shame, Guilt, and Social Anxiety
Authors: Cheok Frida , Proeve Michael
Published: October 2019

The present study expanded previous research concerning relationships between shame, guilt, and social anxiety by examining both internal and external shame and exploring the role of two cognitive constructs relating to emotion regulation, perspective taking, and alexithymia. Findings were consistent with the literature regarding positive associations between shame and social anxiety and no relationship between guilt and social anxiety. Perspective taking was positively related to guilt, while alexithymia was positively related to both shame types. Social anxiety was predicted by shame-proneness, external shame, and alexithymia. There were also small indirect effects for both types of shame on social anxiety through alexithymia. Further replication of relationships between shame, alexithymia, and social anxiety is needed. Alexithymia, with and without concurrent shame, has implications for therapeutic interventions for social anxiety as it may represent a barrier to implementing conventional therapies.

Violencia y acoso en el ámbito político como forma específica de violencia contra las mujeres = Violence and Harassment in Politics as a Specific Way of Violencen against Women
Authors: Soriano Moreno Silvia
Published: October 2019

Resumen. La desigualdad existente en el acceso de mujeres y hombres a los cargos políticos, tanto institucionales como en el seno de los partidos políticos, hace necesario plant­earse las causas de la situación para analizar las posibles vías de mejora. Tradicionalmente, se ha puesto el foco de atención en las políticas y medidas tendentes a la democracia paritaria, mejorando las condiciones de acceso a la política institucional y estableciendo cuotas de gé­nero en las instituciones. Sin embargo, a pesar de que la situación mejora tímidamente, no es el único problema con el que nos encontramos para alcanzar la igualdad en este ámbito. Porque el problema ya no es sólo que las mujeres no llegan a los espacios de poder político, sino que cuando llegan no permanecen en ellos.Una de esas posibles causas puede ser derivada de las resistencias que las mujeres en­cuentran al acceder, o intentarlo, a cargos políticos y que se manifiesta a través de una forma específica de violencia contra las mujeres: la violencia o acoso en el ámbito político.Para tratar esto, será necesario atender a la experiencia que nos llega desde América Latina, donde se viene trabajando esta forma específica de violencia desde hace varios años y puede aportarnos datos de interés y resultados que deberemos tener en cuenta para abordar la cuestión.Palabras clave: política, instituciones, violencia, acoso, mujeres.Abstract. The existing inequality in the access of women and men to political positions, in the institutions and in the political parties, makes necessary to consider the causes of the situation, in order to analyse the possible ways of improvement. Traditionally, the focus has been on policies and measures aimed at parity democracy, improving the conditions of access to institutional politics and establishing gender quotas in institutions. However, even though the situation improves timidly, it is not the only problem that we face to achieve equality in this area. Because the problem is not only that women do not reach the spaces of political power, but when they arrive they don’t remain.One of these possible causes can be because of the resistances that women find when they access, or attempt, to hold political charges and manifests itself through a specific form of violence against women: violence or harassment in politics.To study this, it will be necessary to address the experience that comes to us from Latin America, where this specific form of violence has been worked for several years and can pro­vide us with interesting data and results that we must take into account to address the issue.Keywords: politics, institutions, violence, harassment, women.
Quality of Sleep among Portuguese Anaesthesiologists: A Cross-Sectional Study
Authors: Valente Francisco , Batista Catarina , Simões Vânia , Tomé Inês , Carrilho Alexandre
Published: October 2019

Introduction: Sleeping is essential to maintain proper relationships with others, keep alertness, and execute responsibilities, among many other functions. In the medical profession, there are several studies linking sleep deprivation with a decrease in responsiveness, cognition and attention. With this study we intended to characterize the sleep pattern of Portuguese anaesthesiologists and identify independent factors associated with sleep quality in this population.Material and Methods: An observational, cross-sectional study of senior and resident anesthesiologists working in Portugal was carried out through an online questionnaire. Individuals working exclusively in intensive care units, emergency departments or with previously diagnosed sleep disorders were excluded. Socio-demographic data, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, Epworth Sleepiness Scale and Perceived Stress Scale were applied. Statistical significance was assessed using the Mann-Whitney test and the chi-square test. A multivariable analysis was performed to examine the association between the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and certain variables.Results: Among 256 respondents, 46.1% reported “poor” quality of sleep (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index > 5). Within these individuals, 77.1% slept less than 7 hours per night (p < 0.001). Excessive daytime sleepiness (Epworth Sleepiness Scale > 10) was present in 41.0% of the sample, and the median Perceived Stress Scale score was 17.0. The independent factors associated with worse quality ofsleep were the number of working hours/week (OR 1.03, 95% CI 1,01 to 1,06), perceived stress (OR 1.18, 95% CI 1.11 to 1.26), taking sleep medication (OR 14.72, 95% CI 5.55 to 39.08), and sleep hours/night (OR 0.25, 95% CI 0.15 to 0.42).Discussion: This fraction of Portuguese anaesthesiologists presented a poorer quality of sleep, with excessive daytime somnolence, perceived stress and higher sedative use compared to previously studied populations.Conclusion: Our study characterizes sleep patterns and identifies potential risk factors linked to sleep disturbances in a sample of Portuguese anaesthesiologists. Government and institutional policies can endorse sleep hygiene practices and habits, promoting healthier working environments.
Children’s Sleep Habits Questionnaire in Two Subpopulations from Cape Verde and Mozambique: Exploratory and Regression Analysis
Authors: Carneiro Inês Marques , Fonseca Pedro , Ferreira Rosário
Published: October 2019

Introduction: Children’s sleep habits are profoundly affected by socio-economic, cultural, and environmental factors. We aim to describe the sleep habits of pediatric sub-populations from Cape Verde and Mozambique using the Children’s Sleep Habits Questionnaire, and to ascertain the determinants of the questionnaire’s score.Material and Methods: We conducted cross-sectional surveys in surveillance appointments in Cape Verde and in a school in Maputo (Mozambique). The Cape Verde sample included 206 children (mean age: 6.5) and the Mozambique sample 454 children (mean age: 8). The Portuguese version of the Children’s Sleep Habits Questionnaire was used to evaluate the children’s sleep habits. The distributions of the questionnaire’s scores across different levels of the demographic variables were compared using the Mann-Whitney and the Kruskal-Wallis tests. We used regression models to quantify the relationship between the demographic variables and the questionnaire’s scores.Results: Cape Verde sample: Questionnaire median score: 50 (range 36 – 81). Prevalence of sleep problems: 29.9% (cut-off = 56). Prevalence of parent-reported sleep problems: 22.8%. Co-sleeping: 63%. Bedtime television: 30%. Daytime nap: 63%. Questionnaire scores are associated with the mother’s educational level, the children’s age group, and with the frequency of daytime napping. Mozambique Sample: Median Questionnaire score: 48 (range 35 – 77). Prevalence of sleep problems: 28.4% (cut-off: 52). Percentage of parent-reported sleep problems: 6.9%. Co-sleeping: 29%. Bedtime television: 33%. Daytime nap: 23%. Questionnaire scores are associated with the mother’s nationality, the father educational level, and with the frequency of bedtime television.Discussion: Parents tend to overestimate the quality of their children’s sleep. The prevalence of sleep disturbances and the cut-off values are higher than observed in previous studies, which may be due to the existence of different standards and cultural expectations across populations. Bedtime television, typically associated with more disturbed sleep, is frequent in both samples. Co-sleeping and daytime napping are frequent in the Cape Verde sample; wetting the bed is common and more prevalent than in previous studies. Bed-sharing increases the parents’ awareness of their children’s sleep quality, contributing to the high prevalence of parent-reported sleep problems.Conclusion: Parent-reported sleep problems underestimate the Children’s Sleep Habits Questionnaire results. This is not necessarily indicative of more disturbed sleep and might reflect differences in sleep behavior, childcare practice, and cognitions and attitudes towards the concept of ‘normal’ sleep.

The study assesses the Retinol Activity Equivalent (RAE), lutein and zeaxanthin, total polyphenols and antioxidant potential of medicinal plants. Amongst plants, the highest levels (mg/100 g dry weight) of β-carotene and lutein + zeaxanthin were detected in Centella asiatica, (197.5) and V. aroma (894.6). Interestingly, V. aroma (871, 85), Acacia concinna (587, 65), Centella asiatica (404, 198), Oxalis corniculata (501, 196) and Tinospara cordifolia (417, 120) are rich in β-carotene and lutein + zeaxanthin. The RAE (RAE/100 g dry wt.) is higher in A. citratus (9.5), B. diffusa (13.0), C. asiatica (16.5) and V. negundo (10.1) respectively. Total polyphenols were higher in R. officinalis (10.26 mg/g) and B. diffusa (8.07 mg/g). Among plants, R. officinalis, P. amboinicus and B. diffusa, showed highest free-radical scavenging (98%) radical reducing power (73.61%) and inhibition of the peroxidation (33.4%). To conclude, plants having higher levels of RAE and lutein + zeaxanthin can ameliorate vitamin-A deficiency and age-related macular degeneration.

Authors: Chacko Martil , Begum Khyrunnisa
Published: October 2019

The study was aimed to assess the macronutrient intake pattern and its association to glycemic status and drug intake pattern of type 2 diabetes patients. Forty five subjects (25 males and 20 females) aged between 30 and 60 years, diagnosed with diabetes for less than 3 years were enrolled into the study. Based on Oral Anti-Diabetic drugs (OAD) treatment, they were grouped as those on mono-therapy (GpI, n=21) and dual therapy (GpII, n=25). Information about drugs profile, macronutrient intake (3 days diet recall reported as % equivalent of energy) and serum glucose profile were obtained at baseline and a 6th month follow up. Mean CHO, protein and fat intakes were 65.4±4.84, 12.6±1.26 and 22.0±4.7 % of total energy at baseline and remained essentially similar at 6th month. Patients who had controlled glycemic status (HbA1C ≤ 7 %) consumed 63.4±2.70 % CHO which was significantly (P<0.05) lower than those with not-controlled glycemic status (HbA1C >7 %) during both the assessment periods. Also, mean protein intake was higher and fat intake was lower among patients with good glycemic control. Significantly a higher proportion of (P<0.05) patients consuming CHO > 65 % were on dual therapy. A diet with lower carbohydrates and fat but high protein exerted good glycemic control. Number of OADs and their dosages were significantly associated to CHO intakes. Since Indian diets are predominantly carbohydrate rich, it calls for a careful management of diet among Type 2 diabetes patients

Published: October 2019

For the last four decades India had invested in interventions for improving household food security, supplementary feeding programmes and health care to pre-school children. However under-nutrition rates in under-five children continue to be high. Poor infant and young child feeding and caring practices had been identified as the major modifiable factors associated with under-nutrition especially in the critical first two years. Mother Child Protection Card (MCPC) was introduced as the critical intervention tool for combating these two factors and improving nutritional status of the children. A community based mixed longitudinal study was taken up in urban low middle income group mothers with under-three children to assess feasibility and impact of using MCPC as a supportive tool for nutrition and health education regarding infant and young child feeding and care during illness. Mothers readily accepted MCPC, kept it safely and produced it when requested. MCPC with authentic pictorial messages was used by all health and nutrition front line workers and research team; this practice ensured uniformity in nutrition and health education messages. Over 90% of infants at 2 months and over 2/3rd at 5 months were solely breast-fed. By 8th month almost all infants received semi-solid food. Almost all families accessed health care during illness and followed the advice regarding feeding during illness and convalescence. As a result the mean z scores for weight-for-age did not show any deterioration in the first year. MCPC is a useful tool in providing nutrition and health education and improving infant feeding practices.

At the pilot area of the oilfield in the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug, pilot works are being carried out to increase the development efficiency of low-permeability reservoirs using horizontal production and injection wells with transverse multistage hydraulic fractures (A.Shurunov et al., 2018). The paper describes the results of one stage of pilot works – the shifting of the central horizontal well into the injection and equipping this well with a fiber-optic system (FOS) for monitoring the downhole temperature field (DTS) and vibroacoustic oscillations (DAS).

This work is a continuation of the work (A.Shurunov et al., 2018) and (R.Galeev et al., 2018) in the field of development of delivery methods for FOS in multiple-fractured horizontal wells (MFHW), testing the technology of DTS and DAS to evaluate the effectiveness of waterflooding of low-permeability reservoirs and monitoring the propagation of waterflood-induced fractures in injection horizontal well with transverse multistage hydraulic fractures.
