Authors: Pertseva T.O. , Bielosludtseva K.O. , Krykhtina M.A. 
Published: September 2021

BACKGROUND. Despite the significant progress in the diagnostic and treatment of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP), the issues of timely defining thrombotic complications of CAP and their timely treatment have not yet been fully resolved.
OBJECTIVE. To determine the prognostic signs of the risk of thrombotic complications in patients with CAP.
MATERIALS AND METHODS. Thus, 45 patients with CAP of the 3rd and 4th clinical groups were examined. The result of the cluster analysis was the distribution of patients into certain clusters (classes). There were 3 clusters of patients depending on the predisposition to thrombosis.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION. Patients belonging to cluster 2 and cluster 3 had a high risk of thrombosis. A feature of these patients was a severe course of CAP (by SMRT-CO scale), accompanied by significant leukocytosis or leukopenia in combination with severe systemic inflammation (C-reactive protein) and low protein C.
CONCLUSIONS. This category of patients should consider the possibility of prescribing anticoagulant therapy. While in patients with mild CAP, less pronounced systemic inflammation and high levels of protein C, the risk of thrombosis will be low. Therefore, this category of patients will not require the appointment of anticoagulants.
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the financial sector in medicine: features of centralized state procurement of drugs and medical devices in Ukraine for the period 2018-2021
Authors: Denysov O.S. 
Published: September 2021

ABSTRACT. Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has deeply impacted the global health care system, and the redistribution of funding for medical care violated the prevention and treatment of chronic non-communicable diseases, including hypertension, tuberculosis, and HIV. In 2020, centralized state procurement of medicines in Ukraine was for the first time conducted via the online platform Prozorro. Of the 483 items planned to be purchased, 375 items (78 %) were successfully contracted. In the current 2021, tenders were announced for the purchase of 555 of 562 items. In most fields of medicine, the drugs to be purchased are 100 % covered by tenders. The lowest percentage of coverage is observed for pulmonary arterial hypertension (66.67 %).
In today’s complex environment, not only COVID-19 should be actively combated, but other diseases should be also kept in mind when carefully planning the funding of various fields of medicine through the analysis of data from previous years. The money saved can be used to eliminate the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, and to purchase the necessary medicines. The creation of a single database of drug residues in medical institutions (chatbot in the Telegram messenger) can be called a positive innovation. Control of drug residues and their adequate redistribution makes it possible to rationally use this resource without spending money on unnecessary purchases.
In general, despite the medical and financial impact of COVID-19, Ukraine’s healthcare system continues to withstand pressure and change for the better. Further improvement of the system of centralized procurement of medicines will be able to overcome the problem of lack of necessary drugs.
Request Strategies and Gender Differences among Bangladeshi Students within Online Classrooms
Authors: Sikder Shafinaz 
Published: September 2021

This research tried to identify the type of requests made by the students within a few Bangladeshi online classrooms. The study also aimed at focusing on possible gender differences between the students based on the requests they made. It adopted the research method used by Onem (2016), who investigated how men and women make requests and observed how they differ in the case of being polite and showing directness. Since there have been no previous studies conducted like this before, this paper analysed and categorized the types of requests by addressing the research gap. The theoretical framework relied on the Cross-Cultural Speech Act Realization Project (CCSARP), outlined by Blum-Kulka and Olshtain (1984). Three video records of online classes of “London School of English, Keraniganj, Dhaka, Bangladesh” were undertaken as the main data which was observed naturally followed by analysis and interpretation. The data analysis framework was also undertaken from the Cross-Cultural Speech Act Realization Project (CCSARP) theory by Blum-Kulka and Olshtain (1984). To analyse the data gathered from the videos, a particular coding scheme of (CCSARP) was used. The result obtained showed that the female students made around 62.5% requests while the male students did only around 37.5%. The requests made by the female students were not only significantly higher but they were more polite than the males. Therefore, this small-scale study is expected to help teachers and both male and female students improve their communication skills. The types of requests identified in this study might help students of both genders become aware of their request-making techniques and help the researchers understand the process of request-making in the students' minds.

Published: September 2021

Even though English has remained an important element at different levels of education, studies in different parts of the world indicate that proficiency and performance in English can be a challenge. A specific example is the case of Mexico. Learning English has been stated as important in the Mexican education system for decades, yet, Mexico has held low proficiency in English for a long time. This study forms part of a larger mixed-methodology study of an institution of higher education in southeast Mexico. This paper aims to explore the descriptive results of 882 first-year university students on an English institutional test to study their language performance and the salient contextual factors. The test results were analyzed using descriptive statistics and correlations using SPSS, version 21. The results show that students’ English test performance is mostly low. Independent sample t-tests indicate that while gender is not an influencing factor on test performance, higher exam scores are associated with the type of high school education.
