Water had a special cultural significance in human life. Water was a cheap and widely available resource for everyone. Water has fulfilled a wide variety of functions over the centuries. People even believed in the magical properties of water. The water also had a symbolic effect - it cleansed the body from sins. However, it was during this period in Western Europe that drinking water was considered harmful to health. In spite of this, in the 16th century the poorest peasants and monks who lived the harsh monastery life were drinking water in Poland, also the monarchs from the Jagiellonian dynasty, who were afraid of poison, drank water. However, the richer social strata drank beer or, more rarely, wine. It was believed that stagnant water (in reservoirs) was spreading epidemics. The authors of medical guides claimed that drinking such water could cause infertility, dysentery and other diseases. Only boiling the water was a way to improve its properties. To eliminate the smell they were adding garlic, salt, and vinegar, the Tartars brought from Asia the custom of adding so-called Tatar herb, later called calamus, and other herbs (eg. mint, sage) were also added to the water.
Zastosowanie indeksów demokracji i wolności w ocenie miejsca państwa w „wąskim korytarzu” Acemoglu i Robinsona. Studium przypadku Polski
Authors:   Dr hab., prof. UŁ, Katedra Historii Ekonomii, Wydział Ekonomiczno-Socjologiczny, Uniwersytet Łódzki, Polska, Matera Rafał
Published: November 2022

The aim of the article is to introduce Daron Acemoglu and James Robinson’s theory of the Narrow Corridor – the space in which countries with governments that guarantee security and civil liberties and a society that can control too much government power are located. The paper also refers to the other theoretical concepts used by the aforementioned authors: the despotic, paper and shackled Leviathans and the Red Queen effect. In this paper, I examine whether the eight selected indices of democracy and freedom capture the measures needed to assess the quality of governance, the state of institutions and social capital in each country. As Acemoglu and Robinson did not define specific criteria for when a state enters and when it falls out of the Narrow Corridor, the indices of democracy and freedom were used to verify this process and assess its pillars,. This can be done by observing trends in the rankings produced by the indicated institutions. The article will also examine how Poland’s position in the rankings of democracy and freedom has changed in order to assess whether its functioning in the Narrow Corridor has been threatened.
A six-factor extension of the Fama-French asset pricing model – the case of the Polish stock market
Authors: Bálint Zsolt Nagy , Tünde Dezméri
Published: November 2022

Multifactor asset pricing models evolved at an accelerated pace in the past few years after the publication of the Fama and French five-factor model. Despite the results from developed markets which arguably make the sixth momentum factor redundant, the authors showed in this study that in an emerging market, e.g. the Warsaw Stock Exchange, the momentum factor (persistence of returns) is still a major asset pricing factor. The data covers the period 2010-2018 on a monthly granularity, during which the Polish stock market was still considered ‘emerging’.

Authors: Bento d'Almeida Patrícia , Marat-Mendes Teresa
Published: November 2022

O Serviço de Belas Artes da Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian (SBA-FCG) foi criado em 1960 com o objetivo de apoiar financeiramente todos aqueles que, carecendo de recursos financeiros, quisessem desenvolver um programa de estudos inerente à prática, à investigação ou ao aperfeiçoamento artístico, no país ou no estrangeiro. A investigação em ‘Arquitectura e Urbanismo’ – desenvolvida desde 1961 no Laboratório Nacional de Engenharia Civil (LNEC) – era um dos vários domínios abrangidos pelas candidaturas a “Bolsas de Estudo de Especialização e Valorização Profissional em Artes” atribuídas pelo SBA-FCG. Expõe-se aqui o levantamento dos apoios concedidos por este serviço a arquitetos, para o período compreendido entre 1960-2000, procurando identificar aqueles que também desenvolveram investigação científica no LNEC. Destacamos na nossa análise as candidaturas dos arquitetos Francisco Silva Dias, Mário Krüger e José Manuel Pinto Duarte, três gerações distintas de arquitetos-investigadores. Apuram-se quais os programas de investigação desenvolvidos por estes três arquitetos, ao abrigo do financiamento da FCG, e cruzam-se com as temáticas por eles trabalhadas no LNEC. Assim, com base no material depositado nos arquivos e biblioteca da FCG e do LNEC, o presente artigo oferece uma sistematização de informação inédita, permitindo uma atualização do estado da arte da investigação em arquitectura e urbanismo desenvolvida e experimentada em Portugal. Finalmente, conclui-se a importância dos apoios concedidos pelo SBA-FCG para a aquisição e aperfeiçoamento de técnicas de investigação no estrangeiro, e sua aplicação e difusão em Portugal, designadamente no LNEC.
Choices and Implications when Measuring the Local Supply of Prescription Opioids
Authors: Bryson AnneMarie , Cho David , Garcia Daniel , Mezza Alvaro , Montes Joshua
Published: November 2022

Despite the growth in the literature on the opioid crisis, questions remain on how to best measure the local supply of prescription opioids. We document that measures based on the number of prescriptions largely track hydrocodone, while measures based on morphine-equivalent amounts largely track oxycodone. This choice matters, given the well-documented link between oxycodone and the rise in use of illicit opioids such as heroin, plus the fact that oxycodone and hydrocodone (the two most common prescription opioids) are only weakly correlated. We recommend local measures of the supply of opioids should take into account morphine-equivalent amounts, to avoid understating the health and economic consequences of opioid abuse.

Authors: Abryutin V. N. , Maronchuk I. I. , Potolokov N. A. , Sanikovich D. D. , Сherkashina N. I.
Published: November 2022

Simulation data have been presented on tellurium deep refinement process based on refinement technique developed by the Authors and implemented on the basis of analysis of the thermodynamical condition of the process unit using the FlowSimulation software from SolidWorks. The technique suggested herein has been implemented in a plant having a vertical air-tight reactor arranged inside a multi-zone thermal unit and providing for a combination of sequential refinement stages based on different techniques and integrated in a single process. The calculations are based on experimental data which have allowed one to determine the boundary conditions of the mathematical model using previous experience of work with the abovementioned software product. The temperature profiles have been calculated taking into account all the types of heat transfer in the system, the weight and dimensions of the system components and the physicochemical properties of refined tellurium, materials of reactor fittings and reactor media. The boundary conditions for the thermal calculations have been the temperature modes of process stages with specific known temperatures at local points of reactor fittings where temperature gages connected to a PID controller have been installed. During the simulation of specific process conditions for the refinement technique, process modes and design of equipment fittings components have been corrected. The Authors have developed and fabricated test models of the process and imitation equipment, and analysis of the thermal fields for the final model has shown good agreement with the mathematical model. Equipment upgrading and process parameter correction on the basis of the simulation results have allowed T-udo Grade tellurium to be refined to a 99.99992 wt.% purity by 30 main impurities with a product yield of at least 60% in the course of physical experiments.

СОЦИАЛЬНО-ФИЛОСОФСКИЕ АСПЕКТЫ ПАЛЛИАТИВНОЙ ПОМОЩИ В ЦЕННОСТНЫХ КООРДИНАТАХ РОССИЙСКОГО ОБЩЕСТВА
Authors: Агансон Герман Игоревич
Published: November 2022

Цель исследования заключается в рассмотрении социально-философских аспектов паллиативной помощи.

Методология исследования. Изучение особенностей паллиативной помощи в рамках аксиосферы требует осуществления междисциплинарного подхода, что обусловливает необходимость применения комплекса методов в проведении исследования. Предпочтительными становятся индуктивно-дедуктивный метод, методы анализа и синтеза, сравнения и сопоставления, а также философской рефлексии.

Результаты исследования. Доказано, что паллиативная помощь обнаруживает тенденцию к интеграции подходов различных дисциплин: медицины, психологии, социальной философии. Одна из центральных целей паллиативной помощи как наиболее философской сферы из всех существующих медицинских областей состоит в организации пространства взаимопомощи, «продления» и усиления личности инкурабельного пациента в других. Аксиосфере современного российского общества также не противоречит ведущая идея паллиативной помощи — максимально возможная активная жизнь пациента вне намерения продления или сокращения срока его жизни. Принципы, составляющие основу паллиативной помощи, имеют общефилософский и гуманистический характер — это справедливость, уважение к пациенту, автономия прав больного, его достоинство. Отмечается, что сильнейшая боль и страдания оказывают существенное воздействие на пациента и способны не только лишить его собственного достоинства, но и привести к мысли о предпочтительности смерти. Однако системно и адекватно осуществляемая паллиативная помощь лишает эвтаназию всякого смысла.

Перспективы исследования заключаются в дальнейшем анализе паллиативной помощи в социально-флоксовом контексте в целях ее развития как социальной практики.
КОНЦЕПТУАЛЬНЫЕ ИСТОКИ АНТРОПОЛОГИИ Э. ФРОММА
Authors: Поломошнов Андрей Федорович , Котлярова Елена Александровна
Published: November 2022

Целью исследования является анализ отношения Э. Фромма к идейным источникам его гуманистического психоанализа: фрейдизму, марксизму и экзистенциализму в контексте его замысла теоретического синтеза марксизма и фрейдизма.

Методологическую базу исследования представляют работы Э. Фромма, посвященные анализу социально-философских и антропологических концепций З. Фрейда, экзистенциализма и марксизма, а также современные исследования истоков антропологии Э. Фромма.

Результаты исследования. В статье исследуется отношение антропологии Э. Фромма к ее основным идейным источникам: фрейдизму, марксизму и экзистенциализму. Исследование проводится в двух планах. С одной стороны, рассматриваются собственные характеристики этих источников самим мыслителем. С другой стороны, анализируются взгляды современных исследователей творчества Э. Фромма с точки зрения отношения его антропологии к фрейдизму, марксизму и экзистенциализму. В первом плане Фромм, упрекая фрейдизм в акцентуации биологических влечений в природе человека и этическом релятивизме, признает бессознательную психическую энергию как основу развития личности. Экзистенциализм мыслитель критикует за абсолютизацию экзистенциальных противоречий существования личности. Для Фромма эти противоречия — не конец, а начало антропологии. Говоря о марксизме, мыслитель, опираясь на первоисточники, реконструирует оригинальные идеи антропологии К. Маркса, многие из которых он целиком разделяет. Он стремится дополнить марксизм психологическим анализом социальной жизни личности. Во втором плане, опираясь на современные исследования истоков психоаналитической антропологии Э. Фромма, авторы приходят к выводу о том, что мыслителю не удался эффективный теоретический синтез марксизма и психоанализа. У мыслителя не получилось преодолеть им же установленные экзистенциальные дихотомии в природе человека, а также найти разрешение исторических дихотомий, в частности проблемы тотального отчуждения личности в современном мире.

Перспективы исследования заключаются в установлении трудностей и ограничений, с которыми столкнулся Э. Фромм при попытке синтеза фрейдизма и марксизма, а также в актуализации конструктивного потенциала развития психоаналитической антропологии Э. Фромма в контексте современных вызовов гуманизму.

To date, the most widely used biomarkers are natriuretic peptides and cardiac troponins. Many other biomarkers have also been identified, but only a few of them have found application in actual clinical practice. This review focuses on the Klotho protein and its role in cardiovascular diseases.
In 1997, a gene that slows down the aging process was identified. It was named Klotho (Greek, ώ, spinning; Latin, Clotho; English, Klotho) in honor of the goddess of ancient Greek mythology, spinning the thread of life and being the personification of the steady, calm course of fate. Mice with an insertional mutation in the region of the Klotho gene promoter were characterized by premature aging processes. Three families of Klotho are known: -Klotho, -Klotho, and -Klotho, and the most studied is -Klotho. The Klotho protein consists of a large extracellular domain and a short C-terminal intracellular region. The extracellular domain consists of two repeat sequences called KL1 and KL2. -Klotho and -Klotho contain the KL1 and KL2 domains, respectively, and -Klotho contains only the KL1 domain. The Klotho gene in humans is located on chromosome 13q12 and consists of five exons. The Klotho protein is mainly expressed in the distal convoluted tubules of the kidneys and the vascular epithelial plexus of the cerebral ventricles. At lower concentrations, the Klotho gene is also found in other organs and tissues, particularly in the heart.
Many studies have demonstrated the protective role of the Klotho protein in cardiovascular pathology. The pleiotropic properties of this protein are reflected in the diversity and interaction of cardioprotective mechanisms. The regulation of the concentrations of the Klotho protein in the blood and its expression in heart cells with the help of drugs can play a significant role in cellular metabolism and represent a promising target for the treatment of heart and vascular pathologies.
Nurses whistleblowing during the COVID-19 pandemic: Content analysis of the “Je dénonce” platform
Authors: Perron Amélie , Dufour Caroline , Marcogliese Emily , Gagnon Marilou
Published: November 2022

Whistleblowing about critical issues by care staff is an essential component of any well-functioning health care system. During a pandemic, rapid communication of critical information is essential to identify and solve problems. In times of crisis, however, this kind of communication is difficult. In the province of Quebec, Canada, testimonies from nurses, licensed practical nurses (LPNs), and other health professionals during the COVID-19 pandemic indicate that the province’s health care settings have met whistleblowers’ concerns with insufficient corrective measures and, in some cases, retaliation against whistleblowers themselves. This crisis led a union to create an online platform to collect testimonials from the public and quickly make them available to the public and the media. By presenting a content analysis of testimonials submitted by nurses and LPNs, this article aims, on one hand, to identify the issues raised and, on the other, to examine the role and usefulness of this kind of platform for nurses who engage in acts of whistleblowing.
Nurses and the Discursive Construction of Procedural Justice in Review Board Hearings
Authors: Domingue Jean-Laurent , Jacob Jean-Daniel , Perron Amélie , Pariseau-Legault Pierre , Foth Thomas
Published: November 2022

There has been growing interest about procedural justice in mental health tribunals. A process considered procedurally just increases adherence to treatment, increases compliance with judicial decisions and allows efficient community reintegration. Yet, little is known about how procedural justice is carried out and the role of professionals in its implementation. Stemming from the results of a critical ethnography of the Ontario Review Board, in this article we examine how procedural justice materializes during Review Board hearings and the role of nurses in this materialization. We do so by leveraging Goffman’s work on total institutions and institutional ceremonies. Our findings suggest that nurses participate in activities that provide a perception of procedural justice, rather than serve their patients’ right to true procedural justice. We conclude by recommending that nurses engage in reflections about the distal effects of their clinical practice to broaden the possibilities for resistance within the forensic psychiatric system.
Elusive Silver Lining: Caring for Patients in the HIV/AIDS “War Zone”. How Did Nurses Sustain It? Benefit-Finding Analysis
Authors: G.A. Jacob Carl , Lagacé-Roy Daniel , Lussier-Duynstee Patricia
Published: November 2022

Using a review of literature consisting of peer-reviewed articles and grey literature, this paper presents a narrative and graphic representation of the key concepts underpinning the benefits nurses perceived deriving from caring for patients during the HIV/AIDS pandemic.  Our review indicates that benefits were seldom the focus of the literature and were mostly integrated within documents pertaining to the negative aspects of caring for these patients.  In such a context, this research identified self-enhancement benefits in three domains (work benefits, work attributes, and work ethos), and self-actualization benefits in three domains (relationships, transformation, and humanity).  During the COVID-19 pandemic, researchers are once again enticed to write scientific literature about the impact of caring in a “war zone”.  Using the underpinning concepts identified through the benefit-finding research in the context of the HIV/AIDS pandemic, researchers could identify the many perceived benefits nurses derive from caring for infected patients during this pandemic.

Published: November 2022

AIM: To evaluate the clinical efficacy of topical 0.05% cyclosporine nano-emulsion in the treatment of dry eye syndrome (DES) with meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD).
METHODS: This prospective study included 64 patients with DES and MGD who were randomly assigned to three groups: Group 1 (n=24, conventional cyclosporine), Group 2 (n=21, nano-emulsion cyclosporine), and Group 3 (n=19, control). Lid margin telangiectasia (LMT), meibomian gland secretion (MGS), conjunctival injection (CI), corneal staining (CS), tear break-up time (TBUT), Schirmer test I (STI), Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI), and lipid layer thickness (LLT) was evaluated at 4, 8, and 12wk of treatment.
RESULTS: In Group 3 (control), LMT, CS, and CI improved after 8wk, MGS, TBUT after 12wk of treatment. In Group 1 (conventional cyclosporine), LMT, MGS, and TBUT improved significantly after 4wk, whereas CS, CI, STI, and LLT improved significantly after 8wk, and OSDI at 12wk. In Group 2 (nano-cyclosporine), LMT, MGS, CS, CI, TBUT, and OSDI significantly improved after 4wk, and STI after 8wk. Especially, LLT was significantly higher than other groups after 4wk.
CONCLUSION: Cyclosporine and nano-cyclosporine shows significant improvement in DES with MGD than the control group. In contrast, the nano-cyclosporine group shows more statistically improved CI and CS at 4wk, especially LLT at 4, 8, and 12wk compared to the conventional cyclosporine group.
Modelado numérico del proceso de izado de un cabezal hemisférico de un regenerador
Authors: Graciano Carlos , Casanova Euro
Published: November 2022

Durante ciertas tareas de mantenimiento o de aumento de capacidad de equipos de refinerías en funcionamiento (e. g. reactores, regeneradores, etc.), con frecuencia, se hace necesario la remoción y posterior izado del cabezal hemisférico superior del equipo. En la fase de izado, el cabezal debe mantenerse de forma tal que la soldadura entre este y el cuerpo del recipiente sea factible de realizar. Esta soldadura se puede realizar si las deformaciones en la periferia de la base del cabezal son pequeñas, en caso contrario, se deben realizar procesos de ajuste adicionales que pueden retrasar la puesta en operación del equipo e inducir pérdidas económicas. En la planificación del izado, la determinación de la posición y el número de orejas a ser utilizadas es importante, esto afectará la distribución de las cargas y, en consecuencia, las deformaciones que experimentará la periferia del cabezal. En este trabajo se presenta el análisis por elementos finitos de un cabezal hemisférico de un regenerador durante el proceso de izado. El cabezal está sometido a la acción de cargas de gravedad y a cargas externas producidas por elementos estructural conectados al cabezal. En el proceso de izado, el cabezal también está sometido a las fuerzas de tensión generadas por los cables de izado. A partir del modelo numérico, se llevó a cabo un estudio paramétrico para determinar la disposición óptima de las orejas de izamiento tomando en cuenta las deformaciones en la periferia de la base del cabezal, a fin de garantizar el proceso de soldadura con el cuerpo del recipiente. Adicionalmente, se analizó el uso de un anillo rigidizador y su influencia en la deformación del cabezal.
Career Path Choices of Vocational School Students in the Context of Their Entrepreneurial Abilities, General Aptitude, and Hope for Success
Authors: Skarzyński Michał , Noworol Czesław
Published: November 2022

The right choice of career path for young people deciding to attend vocational school can prove to be an important factor not only for future educational success, but also for a successful transition from education to work. It is, on the one hand, a key developmental challenge for young people entering adulthood and, on the other, an expectation and concern for local authorities shaping education policy in the context of the needs of the local economy. The problem of a successful transition from education to work is, then, an interdisciplinary issue, related to both psychology (individual differences) and the management of local development oriented towards providing the local economy with the necessary competences for work. Therefore, it is also and actually first and foremost, an important challenge for career counselling and for young people. The article presents an empirical study of 3,577 vocational and technical school students, covering 1,080 female and 2,497 male students, conducted in 19 schools in Poznań in 27 fields of study using questionnaires and psychological tests to determine entrepreneurial abilities (KUP), hope for success (KNS) and general aptitude (APIS). Our analyses of the research results led us to claim that there is a relationship between entrepreneurial abilities, general aptitude and hope for success and the career path choices of vocational school students. It was shown, with the use of artificial intelligence, that on the basis of the results of questionnaires measuring these student characteristics, a prediction can be made about the choice of further career or educational direction. The results of the analysis using AI can support career counselling for vocational students and the development of a career counselling system at this and earlier stages of education.

The Investigation of the Addition of Sodium Lignosulfonate to Lime Column Used For Improving the Expansive Soils
Authors: ÖZKAN İlyas , ÇOKÇA Erdal
Published: November 2022

The lime column (LC) technique has been commonly used for the improvement of expansive soils. The achievement of this technique depends on the lime diffusion into the expansive soils, but lime diffusion into the expansive soil is generally a slow process due to the low permeability of these soils. In this study, sodium lignosulfonate, which is used as a superplasticizer in the concrete industry, was added to lime columns to accelerate the diffusion of lime particles. First, treated expansive clay specimens with thirty-seven 4.5 mm diameter columns were prepared in an oedometer ring. These columns were filled with two different mixtures: water-lime and water-lime-sodium lignosulphonate to investigate the effect of the addition of sodium lignosulphonate. Free swell tests were done on these treated expansive clay specimens that were subjected to different curing periods, it was observed that the treated specimens with sodium lignosulphonate lime columns (NaLS-LC) are more effective than the treated specimens with lime columns (LC). A treated expansive clay specimen (in a 30cmx30cm mold) with seven pieces of 45 mm diameter sodium lignosulphonate lime columns were prepared to observe the alteration of engineering properties of untreated expansive clay specimen (US) located between the columns. Free swell and unconfined compressive strength tests were done on the undisturbed expansive clay specimens taken from the mold between the columns. SEM-EDX analyses were made to investigate whether the ettringite mineral, which leads to swelling of the expansive soil during lime stabilization, forms or not. While the ettringite mineral formed during the curing period in the lime column stabilization method, the addition of sodium lignosulphonate to lime columns blocked the formation of the ettringite mineral. It can be stated that sodium lignosulphonate lime columns (NaLS-LC) show better performance than lime columns (LC), in the treatment of expansive clays.
MORPHOLOGICAL AND FUNCTIONAL FEATURES OF OSTEOREGENERATION FOUR MONTHS AFTER IMPLANTATION OF "BAK-1000" IN COMBINATION WITH ANGIOSTIMULATED MSCs

Annotation

Approbation of osteoplastic materials with the study of the mechanisms and development of methods of osteoregeneration remains one of the topical areas of research in surgical and orthopedic dentistry, requiring an integrated approach at various levels of organization of living systems.

The aim of the study was to evaluate osteoregeneration in a model of bone diastasis using "BAK-1000" in combination with VEGF-stimulated MSCs.

Materials and methods. Male Sprague-Dawley rats (n = 45) were divided into two groups: I – control (n = 15) and experimental – II (n = 15) and III (n = 15). The creation of the osseointegration model included two surgical stages: at the first stage, MSCs were cultured; on the second stage, osteotomy was performed (groups I–III), the resulting defects were filled with implant material (groups II, III) in combination with autologous MSCs (only group III).

Results. On the 120th day after completion of the second stage of the operation in group II, a low intensity of angiogenesis and osteogenesis was observed with partial local destruction of the cellular canalicular matrix. Group III showed moderate osteoregeneration and intense angiogenesis. However, in both groups, the formation of yellow microcrystals caused the development of signs of necrobiosis.

Discussion. On the basis of the study, it was found that in groups II and III in the peri-implantation tissue, there was indeed a sharp hyperplasia of blood vessels, which was combined in time with the initial signs of osteogenesis. The identified negative changes in the peri-implant area were probably associated with the biological properties of the implanted material.

Conclusions. There were no signs of pronounced osteoregeneration, and the proposed method for eliminating a bone defect using BAK-1000 in combination with VEGF-stimulated MSCs can be considered ineffective.

The subject. Clinical manifestations of dependence on synthetic narcotic substances have been thoroughly studied by specialists in the field of psychiatry, narcology, therapy, immunology at the tissue, organ and system levels. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said about dentistry. When receiving a drug-dependent patient, most dentists cannot determine drug addiction and, accordingly, competently draw up a treatment plan for such patients.
Objectives. To study the features of the management of dental diseases in patients taking synthetic narcotic substances, according to the literature.
Methodology. Within the framework of this article, the analysis of publications from the databases PubMed, Google Scholar, eLibrary and Cyberleninka describing the toxicological properties and clinical manifestations of synthetic narcotic substances is carried out. The search included full-text articles for the last 5 years. Informational letters were excluded from the analysis.
Results. The fight against the spread and use of narcotic substances throughout the world is not slowing down. However, the creation of analogues of studied and illicit drugs by correcting their chemical structures, as well as new narcotic substances with known properties, reduces the effectiveness of this struggle. The dental status of patients taking synthetic narcotic substances has been little studied, since they rarely seek dental care, arriving, as a rule, for urgent indications, or by referral from a narcological institution.
Conclusions. The analyzed literature data suggest that in patients taking synthetic "designer" substances, the most studied are the manifestations of drug addiction in terms of their effect on the central nervous system. This problem is relevant for doctors of narrow specialties, since knowing the signs of drug use, it is possible to correctly plan treatment tactics, preventing the occurrence of complications during the administration of drugs. Since the manifestations of drug addiction in dental patients are practically not described in the scientific literature, this topic requires further research.
CERAMIC IMPLANTS ARE THE FUTURE OF DENTAL IMPLANTOLOGY
Authors: Dovgerd Aleksandr , Sivolapov Konstantin
Published: November 2022

The subject of the study is the main properties of ceramic dental implants.

Objectives. A systematic analysis of modern domestic and foreign literary sources to determine the main advantages of ceramic dental implants.

Methodology. The study was based on the search and study of original articles on the dental implantology in the databases: Russian State Library, eLibrary, PubMed, The Cochrane Library, Google Scholar. The main selection of materials was carried out by keywords.

Results. Currently, dental ceramic implants are attracting more and more attention from both dentists and patients. Every year, the clinical use of ceramic implants is becoming wider. Only in Europe every year there are 3 major congresses on ceramic implantology. In many countries, the number of associations dealing with this particular topic has increased, ceramic implants have unlimited potential for clinical use.

Numerous studies show that the clinical use of zirconium oxide implants is practically not accompanied by manifestations of peri-implantitis, and gum epithelial tissues are able to firmly and reliably attach to their surface. Zirconium forms a dense ZrO2 dioxide film on the surface with good protective properties. Zirconia is bioinert to other materials found in the oral cavity and is particularly suitable for patients who are allergic or intolerant to metals. The latest materials and techniques, which include zirconium dioxide, have important advantages, and its use as dental implants significantly increases the clinical effectiveness of treatment. Therefore, when planning dental implantation, preference should be given to zirconia implants, which will avoid the development of a negative effect of treatment on both organs and tissues of the oral cavity, and the body as a whole.

Conclusions. The review of literature sources on the effectiveness of ceramic dental implants showed evidence-based possibilities for the clinical use of this type of implants in modern dentistry.

Published: November 2022

Subject. The high prevalence of oral mucosal leukoplakia, its often recurrent course and the possibility of malignancy makes the problem of finding effective methods of diagnosis and treatment of this pathology urgent. Many methods of acting lesions have been proposed, but individual studies cannot demonstrate evidence of the advantages of one treatment method over another.

Objectives. On the basis of modern literature to determine effective methods of diagnosis and treatment of various forms of leukoplakia.

Methodology. The information bases are analyzed: PubMed, Elibrary, GoogleScholar, Medline, Cyberleninka. Combinations of keywords were used for the search.

Results. 593 articles were found according to the declared keywords. The number of articles remaining after applying the exclusion criteria is 58, after analyzing the annotations for compliance with the content of the stated review topic – 24. Analyzing the literature sources, it was determined that the diagnosis of the disease is carried out using clinical and histological studies. Elimination of the lesion with a laser occurs with a minimum of side effects, unlike traditional surgical treatment; recurrence of the disease occurs regardless of the chosen treatment method and is associated with the area of the lesion, its location and the presence of bad habits in patients; the most effective methods are argonoplasmic coagulation, erbium laser radiation and diode laser, allowing to achieve complete epithelialization in 7 days; also worthy alternative methods of treatment of oral leukoplakia are cryosurgery and photodynamic therapy.

Conclusions. In order to diagnose of oral mucosal leukoplakia, a clinical study with histological verification of the diagnosis is used. Conservative methods of treatment of oral leukoplakia are not always effective, especially with erosive and verrucose forms. In such a situation, a dentist is forced to resort to surgical excision of foci to prevent further development of the disease and transformation into a malignant neoplasm. Traditional methods of surgical treatment are gradually being replaced by more modern effective methods that allow obtaining an aesthetic result with a favorable course of the postoperative period.
THE FEATURES OF CHRONIC PERIODONTITIS, COMPLICATED BY FURCATION DEFECTS. CAUSES OF DEFECTS. LITERATURE REVIEW
Authors: Khabadze Zurab , Gasbanov Magomed-Ali , Bolyachin Aleksey , Taberdiev Tahir , Mordanov Oleg
Published: November 2022

Periodontal tissue diseases remain one of the urgent problems in modern dentistry due to their high prevalence and the number of complications after treatment. The prolonged asymptomatic course of chronic forms of periodontitis causes an increase in destructive processes not only in periodontal tissues and alveolar bone, but also contributes to the resorption of cementum and root dentin, which causes the formation of bone pockets, called furcation defects. Involvement in the pathological process of the zone of divergence of the roots significantly complicates the course of the disease, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis. The complexity of diagnosis, the variability of treatment methods depending on the overall clinical picture and the high percentage of tooth loss when the furcation area is involved in the pathological process determine the relevance of the research topic. Purpose: to study the features of chronic periodontitis complicated by furcation defects and to identify the main causes of these defects. Materials and Methods: the analysis of domestic and foreign publications placed in the eLibrary and PubMed databases was carried out by keywords. Results. The analysis of literature data on the features of chronic periodontitis complicated by furcation defects is carried out, the issues of the etiology of this pathology are considered. Conclusion. It is shown that the treatment of chronic apical periodontitis complicated by furcation defects is one of the important problems of dentistry, which is determined by the significant prevalence of the disease and the incidence of complications after treatment. The most common etiological factor in furcation lesions is microbial invasion, which causes an inflammatory process, the progression of which leads to bone resorption in the area of the furcation arch of the teeth. Also, the etiological factors of periodontal pathogenic genesis, endodontic lesions, fractures, iatrogenic factors, as well as anatomical features contribute to the involvement of furcation.

Subject. The subject of this research is the dental health status and related diabetes mellitus and osteoporosis.

Objective. The objective of this research is to determine specific characteristics of defeat teeth and periodontal tissues, as well the clinical course of periodontitis in elderly patients with diabetes mellitus and osteoporosis.

Methodology. In a clinical examination of elderly women (aged 55–65) with periodontal inflammation and during their follow-ups at the stage of supporting therapy, three groups were formed (each with 20 subjects). The first group consisted of patients with Type II diabetes mellitus and osteoporosis; the second group consisted of osteoporotic patients; the third (reference) group consisted of patients who were the same age and considered themselves practically healthy at case control studies with follow-ups and periodontal inflammation in remission.

Results and discussion. DMFT index was 19.6 ± 2.35 for the patients in the first group, 1.31 times lower for the patients in the second group and 1.38 times lower for the patients in the third group. Russel’s periodontal index was 3.5 ± 0.8 in the first group, 1.46 times lower in the second group and 1.84 lower in the third group.

Conclusion. The research found the direct correlation between defeat teeth and more aggressive periodontitis in the patients with Type II diabetes mellitus and osteoporosis. Specific characteristics of defeat teeth are determined by higher Green-Vermillion oral hygiene indices, higher caries intensity with specific prevalence of “D” in both DMFT and DMFS indices. Increasing saliva viscosity decreases patient adaptation and adversely impacts on the organs of the oral cavity in the group of women with Type II diabetes mellitus and osteoporosis.

Authors: Wendsche Johannes , Lohmann-Haislah Andrea , Schulz Anika , Schöllgen Ina
Published: November 2022

The aim of this survey study (n = 534) was to clarify if work from home (WFH) affects employees’ compliance with six German mandatory rest break regulations and how this relates to health complaints. 92% reported at least one violation of these rest break principles. WFH (frequency) did not affect the (non-)compliance with these regulations but was associated with increased risk for muscular tension. Frequent break skipping increased risk of headache. Noncompliance with three or more of these rest break criteria related to risk of depressive mood and headache, and noncompliance related to risk of exhaustion in a dose-response relationships. WFH does not relate to violation of German rest break regulation criteria but is associated to musculoskeletal complaints. Organizations should improve employees’ compliance with national break standards since this can reduce health risks.
Jede Stunde zählt? Arbeitszeiterfassung und -konten für verschiedene Überstundengründe und -ausgleichsformen
Authors: Nold Johanna , Backhaus Nils
Published: November 2022

In diesem Beitrag wird untersucht, inwieweit verschiedene Arten des Überstunden-ausgleichs (transitorische, ausbezahlte und nicht abgegoltene) und mögliche betriebs-organisatorische und private Gründe für das Leisten von Überstunden mit der Ar-beitszeiterfassung zusammenhängen. Auf Basis der BAuA-Arbeitszeitbefragung 2019 werden abhängig Beschäftigte (n = 7589) mit Arbeitszeiterfassung, die (nicht) über ein Arbeitszeitkonto verfügen und Beschäftigte ohne Arbeitszeiterfassung verglichen. Logistische und lineare Regressionsmodelle zeigen, dass Beschäftigte ohne Arbeits-zeiterfassung insgesamt von mehr und vor allem nicht abgegoltenen Überstunden be-richten. Beschäftigte mit Arbeitszeiterfassung und -konten geben insgesamt weniger Überstunden an und können Überstunden häufiger durch Freizeit ausgleichen. Auch der Ausgleich durch Freizeit wird von ihnen häufiger als Überstundengrund angegeben.
