Published: September 2020

Introduction. In the conditions of modern Russian education, the emphasis is shifted to the ability of students to carry out non-standard professional duties and to work independently. All this leads to an increase in the number of studies to identify thinking styles in the student age.The aim of the current publication is to present the results of an empirical study focusing on identification of the relationship of thinking styles and academic performance among the students of Astrakhan State University.Methodology and research methods. In order to achieve the aim, the authors used the following research methods: Methods of Thinking Style (by A. K. Belousova), Learning Styles Questionnaire (by P. Honey, A. Mumford), Implicit Theories and Learning Goals Questionnaire (by C. Dweck), Scale of Academic Motivation (by T. O. Gordeeva, O. A. Sychev, E. N. Osin). To process the data, mathematical-statistical methods were employed: the One-Sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov Test, the Independent Samples t Test (Student Test), the Mann-Whitney U Test, the Pearson’s Correlation Coefficient, the Spearman’s Rank Correlation Coefficient. All calculations were performed using the IBM SPSS Statistics 21 computer program.Results. In the course of empirical study, 82 students of five faculties of Astrakhan State University (40 boys and 42 girls aged 20 to 23 years old) were involved. As a result of empirical research, it was revealed that an initiative style of thinking with the variable “enriched personality” has a positive correlation, and critical thinking has a positive correlation with the variable “introjected motivation” and “external motivation”. Managerial and practical thinking styles positively correlate with the variables “achievement motivation”, “growing in telligence”, “enriched personality”, “cognitive motivation”, “adoption of learning goals”.Scientific novelty. The tendency to a reliable connection of thinking styles and academic performance was revealed. A positive correlation between managerial, practical thinking styles and cognitive motivation, achievement motivation is found out. Students with proactive, practical, managerial thinking styles have an above-average academic performance.Practical significance. The materials of the publication are of practical importance for teachers and students, as the study of the stylistic peculiarities of the individuality of students directly contributes to the effectiveness of the process of skills and knowledge development.

Tracheal extubation is associated with a 10–30% increase in arterial pressure and heart rate that could be detrimental in patients with hypertension, ischemic heart disease, and cerebrovascular disease. A reliable technique for rapid & smooth extubation with stable hemodynamics is still not fully evolved. To compare the effect of intravenous magnesium sulphate and esmolol for attenuating hemodynamic response to extubation after general anesthesia.Prospective, randomized, double blind study conducted at tertiary care hospital.Sixty adult subjects undergoing major surgery were randomly divided into 2 groups. Group M received magnesium sulphate 40 mg/kg & Group E received esmolol 0.6 mg/kg IV infusion over 5 minutes before extubation. Heart rate, systolic & diastolic blood pressure, mean arterial pressure, rate pressure product, pain score & sedation score were compared from extubation till 15 minutes after extubation. Students ‘t’ test used for continuous variables & Chi Square test for categorical data.21.82% fall in heart rate was observed in group M with a plateau at 10 -15 minutes compared to 37.07% in group E with a peak at 15 minutes (p=0.0150). Fall in Systolic blood pressure was 18.86% in group M & 21.15% in group E (p=0.4298). Rate pressure product was significantly lower in group E (50.40%) than group M (36.66%). Postoperative pain score was significantly less in group M compared to group E (p&#60;0.0001). Magnesium sulphate provides better hemodynamic stability with postoperative analgesia compared to esmolol when used for attenuating hemodynamic response to extubation.
Przeżycie estetyczne a przeżycie mistyczne – ujęcie w horyzoncie teologicznym
Authors: Dzidek Tadeusz 
Published: September 2020

Doświadczenie estetyczne i doświadczenie mistyczne są podobne w trzech etapach rozwoju. W pierwszym chodzi o skupienie uwagi na szczególe. Artysta czyni to w stosunku do używanego elementu otaczającej rzeczywistości, przez wydobywanie z niego czegoś szczególnego, z kolei mistyk szuka w świecie natury ślady Boga. W drugim etapie artysta odsuwa od siebie to, co go rozprasza, a także on uwalnia się od artystycznych konwencji, aby tworzyć swe zamierzone dzieło w sposób oryginalny. Z kolei mistyk oczyszcza się ze swoich słabości i przywiązania do świata. W trzecim etapie artysta może kontemplować swe dzieło, a mistyk jest w stanie doświadczać obecności Boga. Chwilowa satysfakcja artysty mija. A w jej miejsce wsącza się poczucie nieadekwatności między zamierzonym pomysłem a jego nieudolnym urzeczywistnieniem w ograniczonej formie. Natomiast mistyk, po chwilowym doświadczeniu obecności Boga, jest świadomy, że przedmiot jego pragnienia przekracza granice wszelkiej możliwości poznania. Piękno i Bóg jawią się jako dwa imiona Jednego.

Published: September 2020

Fine-Needle Aspiration Biopsy (FNAB) thyroid nodules is difficult to distinguish betwen follicular malignancy and follicular benign lesion (1). The diagnosis of malignancy can only be made from histopathology examination by examing tumor invation to capsule and vascular (2,3). Matrix Metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9) examination can be added to help making initial diagnosis. MMP-9 is a proteolytic enzyme that plays important role in cancer progressivity, especially in thyroid. High MMP-9 expression will lead to earlier degradation of thyroid and its will make the cell metastasist easier (4). This study aims to examine MMP-9 expression of thyroid follicular neoplasm FNAB.
We used 42 sample of follicular thyroid neoplasm FNAB obtained from the Pathology Anatomic laboratories in RSUP M Djamil Padang, West Sumatera. Immunohistochemical was staining with primary antibody MMP-9 then its expression were assessed in stroma and cytoplasmic tumour. In this study FNAB follicular thyroid nodules were found in the age group 21-45 years (57.1%), women (88.1%), and MMP-9 expression was found as much as 80.9%.

Published: September 2020

Among the microporous materials used in heterogeneous catalysis, zeolites have become promising due to the relevant physicochemical and catalytic properties. Noteworthy is the zeolite ZSM-5 used as a catalyst in reactions in the areas of petrochemical and fine chemistry, such as cracking, isomerization, alkylation and aromatization reactions of olefins. In view of this, the objective of this work was to synthesize the ZSM-5 zeolite, through binary mixtures of tetraethylammonium hydroxide (TEAOH) and different amines (n-butylamine, isobutylamine and diisobutylamine) acting as organic structure directing agents (SDA's). X-ray diffractometry indicated that only the reaction system containing TEAOH and n-butylamine provided the achievement of highly crystalline ZSM-5 and without competing phases. The nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms indicated that a material with a high surface area (329 m2·g-1) and pore volume (0.26 cm3·g-1) was obtained. Thus, it was possible to identify a new synthesis route in obtaining the ZSM-5 zeolite.

Dans le Gandiolais, la nappe des sables quaternaires, fortement salÃ©e sur la majeure partie de la zone, est utilisÃ©e pour irriguer les cultures et pose de vÃ©ritables difficultÃ©s pour la durabilitÃ© du systÃ¨me maraicher. La salinisation secondaire du sol irriguÃ© et la rÃ©action du complexe absorbant dÃ©pendent principalement des paramÃ¨tres intrinsÃ¨ques, particuliÃ¨rement la texture du sol. Lâ€™objet de cet article est dâ€™analyser la distribution spatiale de la salinitÃ© en tenant en compte les caractÃ©ristiques granulomÃ©triques du complexe absorbant. L'approche hydrogÃ©ochimique basÃ©e sur les relations de concentration permet d'apprÃ©cier les modalitÃ©s de conservation in situ entre les eaux d'irrigation et le sol exploitÃ©. Les rÃ©sultats obtenus ont confirmÃ© que la texture grossiÃ¨re de type sables moyens Ã fins permet un lessivage rapide des sels solubles sur tout le profil. Les sols restent globalement calcimagnÃ©siens mÃªme si les eaux d'irrigation sont globalement chlorurÃ©es sodiques et potassiques ou sulfatÃ©es sodiques. Cependant, cette forte permÃ©abilitÃ© du complexe constitue un risque de surconcentration ionique dans la nappe. Les retours d'irrigation associÃ©s aux engrais accentuent la minÃ©ralisation de la nappe des sables quaternaires.
In the Gandiolais, the groundwater of the quaternary sands, heavily salted over most of the area, is used to irrigate crops and poses real difficulties for the sustainability of the market gardening system. Secondary salinization of the irrigated soil and the reaction of the absorbing complex depend mainly on the intrinsic parameters, particularly the texture of the soil. The purpose of this article is to analyze the spatial distribution of salinity taking into account the particle size characteristics of the absorbent complex.The hydrogeochemical approach based on the relations of concentration makes it possible to appreciate the process of conservation in situ between the irrigation water and the exploited soil. The results obtained confirmed that the coarse texture of medium-to-fine sand type allows rapid leaching of soluble salts over the entire profile. Soils remain globally calcimagnesian although the irrigation water is globally sodium chloride and potassium or sodium sulphated. However, this high permeability of the complex constitutes a risk of ionic overconcentration in the aquifer. Irrigation returns associated with fertilizers accentuate the mineralization of the groundwater of the quaternary sands.

Published: September 2020

Polycystic syndrome (PCOS) is a considerable infertility disorder in adolescents and adult women in reproductive age. Obesity is a vigorous risk factor related to POCS. This study aims to evaluate the association of obesity and PCOS by investigating several parameters including: anthropological, biochemical (lipid profile, fasting blood sugar, glucose tolerance test, and hormone levels (LH, FSH, LH/FSH ratio, Estradiol2 and Testosterone),and genetic parameters (Fat mass and Obesity associated gene (FTO) polymorphism at rs17817449) in 63 obese and non-obese PCOS women. The biochemical tests were investigated by colorimetric methods while FTO gene polymorphism was detected by PCR–RFLP. Lipid profile, FBS, GTT, hormones (LH, LH/FSH ratio) in obese PCOS patients were significantly higher than non-obese non PCOS patients. It was found that the FTO variant TT risk genotype is a predisposing factor to obesity but not for PCOS. The study substantiated a possible familial risk factor for developing obesity among women in the same family.

Published: September 2020

Abstract

Background and Purpose There are abundant hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) in cord blood. It was known that HSCs continue to differentiate into common lymphoid progenitors (CLPs) and common myeloid progenitors (CMPs). Furthermore, the CMPs could differentiate into megakaryocyte erythroid progenitors (MEPs), and MEPs ultimately differentiated into platelets and erythrocytes. It had been reported that the proportion of HSCs in cord blood was higher than that in healthy pregnant women, so as the incidence of neonatal polycythemia in gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) patients. We aimed to investigate the HSCs population and the change of their differentiation in the cord blood of neonates of GDM mothers. Methods In this study, we collected cord blood from GDM and healthy pregnant women at delivery. Totally 75 cases were included, in which 52 were for healthy control group and 23 were for GDM group. Then the number and differentiation status of HSCs in cord blood of the two groups were observed. HSC (CD45+ CD34+), CLP (CD45+ CD34+ CD7+) and CMP (CD45+ CD34+ CD33+) cells were identified and quantified by flow cytometry. Results Compared to healthy controls, HSC number in cord blood from GDM group were significantly increased (0.77±0.063% vs.1.28±0.176%，p=0.0113). The number of CMP cells which were differentiated from HSCs were higher than control (28.69±3.223% vs.46.43±4.927%, p=0.0033), while CLP cell number were lower (27.04±2.044% vs.21.11±2.406%, p=0.0475). Conclusion In conclusion, compared with non-diabetic pregnant women, there were more HSCs in the cord blood of the newborns of GDM patients, and the differentiation of HSCs to CMP cells was increased, while the differentiation to CLP cells was decreased. Those findings were probably caused by the high glucose microenvironment and insulin medication in pregnant women with GDM, and the HSCs differentiation changes might be influencing factors of the high incidence of neonatal erythrocytosis in GDM patients.

Abstract
Background: In China, grass-roots village doctors, as the gatekeepers of rural residents' health, play an important role in guaranteeing and serving the health level of rural residents. However, the serious burnout and high turnover rate of village doctors threaten the stability of village medical teams. This research evaluated the influence of personality, alexithymia and work engagement on the burnout of village doctors in an in-depth and detailed way, and explored the mediating role of work engagement and alexithymia between personality and the burnout of village doctors in China.Methods: During May and June 2019, 2,684 rural doctors in 1,345 rural clinics in Jining city, Shandong Province, were studied using a quantitative study self-administered questionnaire. The questionnaire included demographic and sociological characteristics, personality, alexithymia, work engagement and burnout, and was measured by 5-7 Likert scale. One-way ANOVA, Person correlation analysis, and Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) were used for statistical analysis.Results: Up to 54.3% of the surveyed rural doctors showed moderate to severe emotional exhaustion, 90.5% of them had moderate to severe sense of low personal achievement and 33.9% of them had moderate to severe depersonalization burnout. Personality has a direct positive effect on work engagement (β=0.50, p<0.001), but has a direct negative effect on alexithymia (β=-0.52, p<0.001) and burnout (β=-0.50, p<0.001) respectively. Work engagement has a direct negative effect on burnout (β=-0.10, p<0.001), while alexithymia has a direct positive effect on burnout (β=0.16, p<0.001). In the path between personality and burnout, both work engagement, 95%CI:(−0.17)–(−0.08), and alexithymia 95%CI:(−0.36)–(−0.09), have significant mediating effects.The above results strongly confirmed that personality, alexithymia, and work engagement were early, powerful predicators of burnout.Conclusion: According to the results, medical administrators should pay attention to the personality characteristics of village doctors in their professional training, practice selection and job assignment and encourage doctors to actively reflect on their own personality and to reduce job burnout by obtaining necessary social support, constructing reasonably achievable career expectations, improving time management and participating in psychological counselling programs.

Abstract
Background: Depletion of muscle mass and strength has been proven to be a negative prognostic indicator for patients with cancer receiving anticancer treatment. However, little is known about its role in palliative care patients. The objective of this study was to evaluate the prognostic significance of muscle depletion in predicting survival among patients in palliative care.Methods: We retrospectively examined the association between muscle mass and strength and prognosis in patients with incurable solid cancer who are supported by a palliative care team at a university hospital. Psoas muscle index (PMI) at the level of the fourth lumbar vertebra was employed as the muscle mass index. Pinch grip strength (PGS) was used as the muscle strength index. Cox proportional hazards analysis was performed to evaluate the factors independently associated with overall survival.Results: A total of 78 patients were included in this study (35 male, median age 67 years). Median survival was 87.5 (95% confidence interval [CI] 50–124) days. After adjustment for age, sex, albumin, edema, and performance status as potential confounders, loss of PMI (HR=0.998, 95% CI 0.996–0.999; P=0.003) and PGS (HR=0.73, 95% CI 0.55–0.97; P=0.030) independently predicted the overall survival.Conclusion: Depletion of muscle mass and strength is an independent predictor of survival in patients with incurable solid cancer receiving palliative care. PMI and PGS may help to better assess the prognosis of patients in palliative care.
