Relevance. Initial and acute forms of pulpitis are fairly common diseases and require urgent treatment. Existing methods of endodontic treatment do not have sufficient efficiency and the introduction of new methods and drugs is required to improve the effectiveness of the treatment.Purpose. Improving the effectiveness of treatment of initial and acute pulpitis of permanent teeth in children using allogeneic demineralized plastic material (CPM).Materials and methods. The surface structure of a demineralized bone graft (DCT) and an allogeneic composite plastic material (CPM) were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM Philips SEM 515) with an EDAX microanalysis prefix . In the clinic, CPM was used in 10 patients aged 9 to 15 years in the treatment of pulpitis of permanent teeth with unformed roots.Results. The morphological structure of alloplastic material is fine-pored , with pore sizes of 10-20 microns, uneven, with protrusions and depressions, sometimes with a pore size of up to 250 microns. Clinical laboratory and radiological methods of research in children in the long term up to 3 years have confirmed the effectiveness of CPM in the biological method of treatment of pulpitis in children. In 9 patients, a positive result was obtained with the preservation of pulp viability and the formation of dental roots.Conclusions. Allogeneic bone-plastic material, which has osteoplastic and antimicrobial properties in the treatment of pulpitis in children, allows to preserve the viability of the pulp and the possibility of full-fledged formation of tooth roots.

Authors: Ayupova F. S. , Khotko R. A. 
Published: June 2020

Relevance. According to the latest data the distal occlusion of the dentition is considered first in the structure of dental anomalies on the sagittal plane reaching 40-45% of the total number of deformations of the dental system.Purpose. Study of information about management and methods of treatment and intended indications for their use in patients with distal occlusion in different periods of bite formation.Materials and methods. We studied the publications of recent years by both Russian and foreign authors which were devoted to the choice of management and methods of treatment of growing patients with distal occlusion.Results. The variability in the manifestations of distal occlusion indicates the urgency of improving the management and methods of orthodontic treatment in patients with this pathology. In this case the determining factors are the severity of the pathology and the age of the patient. It is considered that the potential growth of the dento-maxillofacial area of the patient should be determined according to its individual characteristics. They are based on the stage of formation of the cervical vertebrae. It is noted that treatment during the second dentition has significant effects which are associated with the possibility of modifying the growth of the dental complex. This allows you to achieve a stable result in the long term.Conclusions. Different opinions of specialists determine the relevance of further study of methods of orthodontic treatment and analysis of the efficiency of their application, the necessity to improve the tactics of comprehensive rehabilitation of patients with distal occlusion during the formation of the bite taking into account the direction of the type of growth of the facial skeleton in growing patients.

Помесные телки при рождении превосходили чистопородных на 2,9 кг, или на 11,2%. Различия в показателях живой массы сохранились и в последующие периоды роста. В 18-месячном возрасте они составили 15,5 кг, или 5,1%. Живая масса бычков была выше у помесей на 10,9%, а в 18 месяцев — на 8,4%. Помесные телки имели преимущество по высоте в холке на 0,2 и высоте в крестце на 2,2 см, а по ширине, глубине и обхвату груди на 2,2; 2,2 и 4,0 см, соответственно, в 18-месячном возрасте. Продолжительность стельности чистопородных нетелей была в среднем на 2,8 дня больше, чем у помесных нетелей. Крупноплодность помесных бычков и телок, соответственно, выше на 0,03 и 0,18%, чем чистопородных. Прилитие крови англерского быка красным степным коровам способствует увеличению живой массы помесных бычков и телок, промеров экстерьера и улучшению воспроизводительных качеств телок.
The results of research on the growth and development of purebred red steppe and crossbred (red steppe × angler) young animals and the reproductive capacity of heifers are presented. Crossbred heifers at birth outnumbered purebred ones by 2.9 kg, or 11.2%. Differences in live weight indicators persisted in subsequent growth periods. At the age of 18 months they were 15.5 kg, or 5.1%. The live weight of bulls was higher in crossbreeds by 10.9%, and in 18 months — by 8.4%. Crossbred heifers had an advantage in height at the withers by 0.2 and height at the rump by 2.2 cm, and in width, depth and chest circumference by 2.2; 2.2 and 4.0 cm, respectively, at 18 months of age. The duration of pregnancy of purebred heifers was on average 2.8 days longer than that of cross-bred heifers. Large-fecundity of cross-bred bulls and heifers, respectively, is higher by 0.03 and 0.18% than purebred ones. The infusion of angler bull blood to red steppe cows increases the live weight of cross-bred bulls and heifers, measures the exterior and improves the reproductive qualities of heifers.

Проведены сравнительные испытания применения гидрогенизированного защищенного жира, произведенного в России (опытная группа) и импортного фракционированного защищенного жира (контрольная группа). Установлено улучшение жирнокислотного состава молока в группе получавшей гидрогенизированный жир в части приближения его состава к параметрам ГОСТ Р 52253–2004 на фоне ранее использовавшегося фракционированного жира при отсутствии ухудшения по количественным показателям молочной продуктивности и использования корма. Отмечено снижение содержания в молоке пальмитиновой кислоты в опытной группе на 1,5% относительно пограничного верхнего значения по ГОСТу, тогда как в контрольной группе содержание пальмитиновой кислоты было выше верхней границы ГОСТа (33%). По количеству стеариновой кислоты в молоке показатели после применения в опытной группе находились на уровне ГОСТа. Переваримость защищенного жира в этой группе составляла 67—70% против 69—71% в контрольной группе, что обусловлено более высоким содержанием стеариновой кислоты в гидрогенизированном защищенном жире в сравнении с импортным фракционированным (31,2% против 5,3%). Переваримость стеариновой кислоты составляла 56—65%, тогда как у пальмитиновой кислоты была на уровне 72—74%. Применение гидрогенизированных защищенных жиров может быть рекомендовано для предприятий, к молочной продукции которых предъявляются требования со стороны переработчиков по жирнокислотному составу молока.
Comparative tests of the use of hydrogenated protected fat produced in Russia (experimental group) and imported fractionated protected fat (control group) were conducted. An improvement in the fatty-acid composition of milk in the group having received hydrogenated fat was found in terms of approximation of its composition to the parameters of GOST R 52253-2004 against the background of previously used fractionated fat in the absence of deterioration in quantitative indexes of milk productivity and feed use. It has been observed a decrease in the content of palmitic-acid in milk in the experimental group by 1.55% relative to the upper limit of GOST, while in the control group the content of palmitic-acid was higher than the upper limit of GOST (33%). According to the amount of stearic-acid in milk, after application in the experimental group the indexes were satisfactory the level of GOST. The digestibility of protected fat in this group was 67—70% in comparison with 69-71% in the control group, due to the higher content of stearic-acid in hydrogenated protected fat compared to imported fractionated fat (31.2% vs. 5.3%). The digestibility of stearic-acid was 56—65%, while palmitic-acid was at the level of 72—74%. The use of hydrogenated protected fats can be recommended for enterprises that have requirements of the fatty-acid composition of milk for dairy products from processing companies.
Comparing international postgraduate training and healthcare context with the UK to streamline overseas GP recruitment: four case studies
Authors: Fletcher Emily , Campbell John , Pitchforth Emma , Freeman Adrian , Poltawski Leon , Lambert Jeffrey , Hawthorne Kamila 
Published: June 2020

BackgroundThere are ambitious overseas recruitment targets to alleviate current GP shortages in the UK. GP training in European Economic Area (EEA) countries is recognised by the General Medical Council (GMC) as equivalent UK training; non-EEA GPs must obtain a Certificate of Eligibility for General Practice Registration (CEGPR), demonstrating equivalence to UK-trained GPs. The CEGPR may be a barrier to recruiting GPs from non-EEA countries. It is important to facilitate the most streamlined route into UK general practice while maintaining registration standards and patient safety.AimTo apply a previously published mapping methodology to four non-EEA countries: South Africa, US, Canada, and New Zealand.Design & settingDesk-based research was undertaken. This was supplemented with stakeholder interviews.MethodThe method consisted of: (1) a rapid review of 13 non-EEA countries using a structured mapping framework, and publicly available website content and country-based informant interviews; (2) mapping of five ‘domains’ of comparison between four overseas countries and the UK (healthcare context, training pathway, curriculum, assessment, and continuing professional development (CPD) and revalidation). Mapping of the domains involved desk-based research. A red, amber, or green (RAG) rating was applied to indicate the degree of alignment with the UK.ResultsAll four countries were rated ‘green’. Areas of differences that should be considered by regulatory authorities when designing streamlined CEGPR processes for these countries include: healthcare context (South Africa and US), CPD and revalidation (US, Canada, and South Africa), and assessments (New Zealand).ConclusionMapping these four non-EEA countries to the UK provides evidence of utility of the systematic method for comparing GP training between countries, and may support the UK’s ambitions to recruit more GPs to alleviate UK GP workforce pressures.

Published: June 2020

BackgroundLung cancer screening with low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) has been shown to decrease mortality. Low lung cancer survival rates in the UK, driven primarily by late-stage presentation, provide the impetus for implementing screening. Nascent guidance on screening in the UK recommends primary care case-finding. However, the potential impact and acceptability on primary care, and the opportunistic utilisation of other case-finding routes, such as pharmacies, smoking cessation services, and respiratory clinics, have not been fully explored.AimTo explore healthcare professionals’ views and perspectives about lung cancer screening and their preparedness and willingness to be involved in its implementation.Design & settingA qualitative study was carried out with semi-structured interviews conducted with GPs, pharmacists, staff from smoking cessation services within Southwark and Lambeth in London, and staff from respiratory clinics in Guys’ and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust in London between April 2018 and December 2018.MethodSixteen participants were interviewed and the interview transcripts were analysed thematically.ResultsParticipants described lung cancer screening as an important diagnostic tool for capturing lung cancer at an earlier stage and in increasing survivorship. However, the majority expressed a lack of awareness and understanding, uncertainty and concerns about the validity of screening, and the potential impact on their patients and workload.ConclusionStudy participants had mixed opinions about lung cancer screening and expressed their concerns about its implementation. Addressing these concerns by providing resources and effective and detailed guidelines for their use may lead to greater engagement and willingness to be involved in lung cancer screening.

Published: June 2020

Se trabajó con una investigación tipo correlacional transeccional en procura de determinar la relación de las estructuras mentales en la construcción de aprendizaje significativo a partir de la aplicación de estrategias basadas desde el enfoque de la neurodidáctica en estudiantes de la carrera de enfermería de la universidad Técnica de Manabí, sede Portoviejo – Ecuador. La correlación de ,038 se encuentra en el rango positiva baja, lo que implica que las estrategias para la estimulación de las estructuras mentales se relacionan con el aprendizaje significativo, siendo pertinente profundizar en el tiempo la aplicación de las mismas. Las estructuras mentales al ser estimuladas adecuadamente desde la identificación en el estudiante del hemisferio cerebral dominante, se hace posible la conjugación de acciones cognitivas – conductual en favor de promover el aprendizaje significativo en virtud de posicionar un estudiante en capacidad de analizar el contexto global desde su localidad.

Se trabajó mediante el método de clorado. El sistema de clorado debe ajustarse a las necesidades requeridas por parte de los habitantes por lo cual se plantearon tres sistemas considerando para el caserío los aspectos más representativos para la selección como costo, modo de funcionamiento, número de habitantes, según los sistemas existentes en el mercado. Al ser un sistema desarrollado para el consumo humano se realizó pruebas de funcionabilidad de todos los elementos, sometiéndolo a pruebas de campo antes de su instalación final, para asegurar su correcto funcionamiento se montó los elementos en placas de baquelita fenólica. Una vez cubiertas las pruebas de campo se procedió a su instalación final.
La auditoría gubernamental y la emisión de informes: Una aproximación descriptiva para el Ecuador
Authors: Aguirre-Quezada Juan Carlos , Coronel-Pangol Katherine Tatiana , Jiménez-Yumbla Jonnathan Andrés 
Published: June 2020

La investigación tuvo por objetivo general: Analizar la auditoría gubernamental desde la emisión de informes emitidos por la Contraloría General del Estado del Ecuador en el período 2014 – 2018. Se basó en una investigación documental - descriptiva con diseño bibliográfico, empleándose la técnica de análisis de contenido sobre los documentos poblacionales. Ante los resultados en términos relativos se determina que los indicios de responsabilidades penales (IRP) se encuentran presentes en el periodo de análisis; a pesar de la volatilidad de los informes generados los IRP no se muestran correlacionados. Por tal motivo un incremento en los informes generados en un año, no necesariamente debería corresponderse con un incremento en los IRP; de tal forma que, los resultados, a pesar que encuentran un desplome en el año 2018, muestran coherencia con el entorno social, económico, político e institucional del Ecuador.

The Role of Pedagogical Variables in Intercultural Development: a Study of Faculty-led Programs
Authors: Spenader Allison , Retka Peggy 
Published: June 2020

This study investigates the intercultural development in several semester-long study abroad programs at the undergraduate level, using the Intercultural Development Inventory, or IDI. Our faculty-led cohort model utilizes a study abroad seminar incorporating an experiential learning project to provide pedagogical supports and cultural interventions to students during their sojourn. Our study compares mean IDI scores of various cohorts across multiple personal, contextual and pedagogical variables. While no correlation was found between English vs. foreign language contexts, housing types or academic program types, we did find differences between programs based on the type of experiential learning project used in the course. Our findings indicate that service-learning projects are associated with greater intercultural gains than other types of experiential learning projects.

Authors: Bhasin Shivi , Shukla N. Arvind , Shrivastava Sharad 
Published: June 2020

Bacterial community has always been an essential component of aquatic ecosystem because of the important role played by it in maintaining continuity of ecosystem. Aquatic bacterial diversity has been an interesting, popular and wide area of research as it is well correlated with the level of pollution in the ecosystem. Addition of pollutants is one of the major factor which disturbs bacterial diversity and density in river. The aim of the present work is to investigate the presence of bacteria and analyze its correlation with pollution status in river Kshipra which is considered to be a holy river of central India. The study also records the occurrence of different bacterial species including fecal coliform, total coliforms and many other pathogenic bacteria. Presence of pathogenic bacteria like Salmonella sps., Pseudomonas sps. ,Shigella sps., Vibrio sps. and FC/FS ratio between 1.1-1.5 indicates that the river is contaminated by domestic and city sewage as well as by both animal and human excreta. The current investigation reports the occurrence of different water borne diseases like typhoid, cholera, gastrointestinal diseases and skin infections etc in people residing nearby river who consume river water for fulfilling their daily need. A strong correlation has been established between bacterial density and physicochemical parameters like temperature, Dissolved Oxygen, Biological Oxygen Demand and Chemical Oxygen Demand. Urgent measures should be taken by eminent authorities to minimize the anthropogenic activities like dumping of flower, oil, body ashes, coconut shell in order to restore this sacred river.
