Authors: Hurst Irene A. , Abdoo Denise C. , Harpin Scott , Leonard Jan , Adelgais Kathleen 
Published: February 2021

OBJECTIVES:
Child sex trafficking is a global health problem, with a prevalence of 4% to 11% among high-risk adolescents. The objective of this study was to confidentially administer a validated screening tool in a pediatric emergency department by using an electronic tablet to identify minors at risk for sex trafficking. Our hypothesis was that this modality of administration would adequately identify high-risk patients.

METHODS:
English- and Spanish-speaking patients from the ages of 12 to 17 years presenting to a large urban pediatric emergency department with high-risk chief complaints were enrolled in a prospective cohort over 13 months. Subjects completed a previously validated 6-item screening tool on an electronic tablet. The screening tool’s sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values were calculated. Multivariable logistic regression was performed to identify additional risk factors.

RESULTS:
A total of 212 subjects were enrolled (72.6% female; median age: 15 years; interquartile range 13–16), of which 26 patients were subjected to child sex trafficking (prevalence: 12.3%). The sensitivity and specificity of the electronic screening tool were 84.6% (95% confidence interval [CI] 70.8%–98.5%) and 53.2% (95% CI 46.1%–60.4%), respectively. The positive predictive value and negative predictive value were 20.2% (95% CI 12.7%–27.7%) and 96.1% (95% CI 92.4%–99.9%), respectively. A previous suicide attempt and history of child abuse increased the odds of trafficking independent of those who screened positive but did not improve sensitivity of the tool.

CONCLUSIONS:
A confidentially administered, previously validated, electronic screening tool was used to accurately identify sex trafficking among minors, suggesting that this modality of screening may be useful in busy clinical environments.

Relationship of plasma aldosterone levels and carbohydrate metabolism in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction
Authors: Shevelok A. N. 
Published: February 2021

Aim. To determine the relationship between the blood aldosterone levels and parameters of carbohydrate metabolism in patients with heart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).Material and methods. This cross-sectional study included 158 patients with stable HFpEF. HFpEF was established in the presence of symptoms and/or signs of HF, left ventricular ejection fraction >50%, increased blood NT-proBNP levels, and characteristic structural cardiac changes according to echocardiography. The study did not include patients with primary hyperaldosteronism and those taking mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists within the previous 6 weeks. In all patients, the blood aldosterone and carbohydrate metabolism parameters were assessed. The aldosterone levels were determined by the enzyme immunoassay and the concentration of 40-160 pg/ml was considered the reference values. Diabetes was diagnosed in the following cases: history of diabetes, treatment with antidiabetic drugs, blood glucose level ≥7,0 mmol/L in two samples or glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) >6,5%. Prediabetes was recorded if the blood glucose level in a patient without diabetes was in the range of ≥5,6 mmol/L and<7,0 mmol/L.Results. In 99 patients (62,7%, group 1), the aldosterone levels were within the normal range, while in the remaining 59 patients (37,3%, group 2), it exceeded the upper limit. Patients with hyperaldosteronemia compared with those with normal aldosterone levels had significantly higher fasting plasma glucose levels (6,60 (6,00-7,90) mmol/L vs 5,80 (5,25-6,80) mmol/L, p<0,001) and HOMA value (5,86±1,12 vs 4,46±1,02, p=0,01). HbA1c levels did not differ significantly between groups. Patients of the 2nd group more often suffered from diabetes (39,0% vs 19,2%, p<0,001) and hyperglycemia in general (89,8% vs 61,6%, p=0,011) compared with patients of the 1st group. Correlation analysis showed a significant relationship between the level of aldosterone and blood glucose (r=0,29), HbA1c (r=0,17) and HOMA (r=0,23) values. After standardization by age, HF class, body mass index, blood pressure, cholesterol and blood potassium levels in multivariate analysis, the presence of hyperaldosteronemia was significantly correlated with diabetes (odds ratio, 1,64, 95% confidence interval, 1,14-3,32, p=0,013) and hyperglycemia (odds ratio, 2,84, 95% confidence interval, 1,94-14,2, p=0,008). Conclusion. The development of secondary hyperaldosteronism in patients with HFpEF is associated with a significant increase in the risk of hyperglycemia and diabetes.
Academic Motivation and the Impact of Distance Learning During Lockdown: University Students' Perspective
Authors: Kitova Elena , Troshkin Matvey 
Published: February 2021

High academic motivation is regarded as a key to a student’s good academic performance and, consequently, a successful future. The spread of online learning not only provided new opportunities for students and educators, but also stimulated interest in the factors that affect academic motivation for this model of education. The situation of spring 2020, when Russian universities switched to remote learning, provided an opportunity to research the relative value of motivation-influencing factors for the students who normally study offline, but unexpectedly found themselves in a new study environment. In early July, 2020, the authors conducted an opinion survey of students (N = 274) from three Russian universities with the following goals: creating a rating of factors that influence academic motivation, obtaining the respondents’ opinions regarding the amount of time spent on studying and its difficulty during lockdown, monitoring changes in motivation after the transition to remote learning. The obtained data show that most respondents rated intrinsic factors as being most important for their academic motivation, however, such extrinsic factors as teachers and their relations with students also make a considerable impact on motivation. Academic motivation is positively affected by the perceived value of new knowledge and skills, by understanding the role of education for future success, and also by material/mo­netary incentives. The most prominent negative factors are a lack of time and absence of a good study environment. Most respondents stated that transition to remote learning made studying harder and more time-consuming. The lockdown is shown to have had a negative effect on motivation for most students, which indicates that extrinsic factors, primarily, the study environment and the smoothness of communication, play a vital role in academic motivation. These results help to gain a better understanding of academic motivation from the students’ perspective, and could be taken into consideration by educators and administrators when making decisions on the study format and the design of offline and online courses.
Comparative assessment of composites landing adaptation for dental restoration in experiments
Authors: Gushchin A. A. , Adamchik A. A. 
Published: February 2021

Background. In modern dental practice, there is a problem of complications after treatment of caries, such as the postoperative sensitivity of the tooth, formation of secondary caries, and caries complications in the form of pulpitis or periodontitis of the tooth. In addition, this problem exists despite the achievements in the production of high-quality composite filling materials, which are very popular among dentists worldwide. One of the problems that lead to complications after caries treatment is a violation of the integrity of the adhesive bond between the composite and the tooth tissue, which is manifested by a violation of the seal of restoration and the formation of a gap between the filling material and the tooth tissues. This in turn leads to the development of tooth sensitivity and the possibility of bacterial invasion between the filling material and the walls of the tooth, followed by the progression of the pathological process. In the scientific literature, there is evidence of the positive effect of preheating and vibration on the composite before its polymerization.
Aim. Additionally, the purpose of this study is to determine the effect of physical impact, such as heating and vibration, on the composite using ultrasound in order to improve the quality of the adhesive fixation of the composite filling material to the walls of the tooth.
Materials and methods. The study was conducted on the extracted teeth of patients. Based on this, we have proposed a method for the simultaneous thermo-vibration action on a non-polymerized composite directly in the formed tooth cavity to improve the physicochemical, including the adhesive, properties of light-curing composites.
Results of the study revealed a statistically significant positive effect of thermo-vibration on the composite, not only in comparison with the classical method of working with the composite at room temperature, but also with the method of preheating the composite in a furnace used for heating the composite.

Published: February 2021

Introduction. The development and prevalence of generalized periodontitis is caused by a combination of many factors: climatic, geographical, gender, age, presence of somatic pathology, etc.
Aim. This study analyzes the population determinants of the risk of generalized periodontitis.
Material and methods. Epidemiological surveys of the population of the adult population of Uzbekistan aged 20 and more than 60 years were carried out. Using regression analysis, we determined the contribution of risk factors for the development of periodontal diseases to the presence/absence of disease in the population.
Results. In terms of impact on the occurrence of periodontitis, the factors are as follows: on the 1st place is the non-compliance with hygiene of the oral cavity, the contribution factor is 0.301 units; on the 2d the presence of chronic somatic diseases, 0.252 units; on the 3rd the predominance of carbohydrates in the diet, 0.252 units; on the 4th low income increases the presence of periodontitis to 0,139 units; on the 5th social conditions, 0.139 units; on the 6th smoking, 0.106 unit; 7th low social status that increases the risk of periodontitis in the population by 0.0524 units of measurement and on the 8th male sex, leading to an increase in the prevalence of periodontitis in the periodontal diseases by 0.0185 units of measurement.
Conclusion. The data obtained allow us to calculate the load by risk factors. At the same time, in age groups, compared with the General sample, it changes from negative values in age groups up to and including 45 years and to positive values in elder people. Similarly, the additional risk of periodontitis due to the load of risk factors changes in the population.

Published: February 2021

BackgroundWe modified a general health fatalism instrument to examine cardiovascular disease (CVD) fatalism because there is no specific CVD fatalism instrument (CVD-FI).MethodsAdults with two or more CVD risk factors completed a 20-item CVD-FI rated on a 5-point Likert scale. Higher scores indicated higher CVD fatalism. Reliability and construct validity of the CVD-FI were examined using Cronbach's alpha, factor analysis, and hypothesis testing using correlation respectively.ResultsCronbach's alpha was 0.89 supporting internal consistency. Hypothesis that individuals with lower adherence to healthy lifestyle will have high fatalism score was supported (Pearson's r = -0.151; p = .001), and factor analysis yielded a 4-factor solution.ConclusionsCVD-FI is a reliable and valid measure of CVD fatalism. More research is needed to confirm the emergent 4-factor solution of CVD fatalism.

Bu çalışma Total Kalça Protezi (TKP) uygulanan bireylerin taburculuk sonrası ilk 15 günde gelişen komplikasyonları saptamak amacıyla tanımlayıcı olarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. Tanımlayıcı nitelikte yapılan araştırmaya Ege Bölgesinde bir üniversite hastanesi ve özel hastanenin ortopedi ve travmatoloji ve genel cerrahi kliniklerinde TKP ameliyatı uygulanan 100 birey dahil edilmiştir. Araştırmanın verileri literatür bilgileri doğrultusunda geliştirilen veri toplama formu ve komplikasyon değerlendirme formu kullanılarak yapılmıştır. Bu çalışmada TKP uygulanan bireylerin taburculuk sonrası ilk 15 günde gelişen komplikasyonlarına bakıldığında; en fazla %69 ile halsizlik gelişirken, %1 ile en az enfeksiyon gelişimi saptanmıştır. Rutin olarak verilen hemşirelik eğitiminin yetersiz olduğu istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bulunmuştur (P &lt; 0,05). Bedensel Kütle İndeksi (BKİ) kilolu ve obez olan bireylerin daha fazla TKP ameliyatı geçirdiği ve BKİ’si yüksek olan bireylerde komplikasyon gelişimi arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki saptanmıştır (P &lt; 0,05). TKP uygulanan bireylerin taburculuk sonrası komplikasyon gelişimi açısından riskli olan ameliyat sonrası ilk 15 günü içeren dönemdeki değerlendirmeler ve komplikasyonların erken dönemde belirlenmesi önem arz etmektedir. Bu dönemin hasta açısından sorunsuz geçirilebilmesi için taburculuk eğitimlerinin planlanması ve hastaların takibinin yapılması önerilmiştir.
Scientific journalism in the times of pandemic and conspiracy theories
Authors: Trzeciak Marta Alicja 
Published: February 2021

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization announced the state of the coronavirus outbreak as a pandemic. This has contributed to the deepening of feelings of fear, anger, frustration and dissatis-faction in many people, as well as the emergence of numerous conspiracy theories related to the new coronavirus. These concepts are socially dangerous because, without bringing any positive reactions, they deepen the feeling of fear, panic or even hysteria. Thus, they hinder rational thinking, taking care of one’s own mental health and acting reasonably. This article discusses the most frequently repeated conspiracy theories in public discourse: corona-virus as a Chinese biological weapon, SARS-CoV-2 as an American biological weapon, the coronavirus created by the USA for profit, SARS-CoV-2 created or developed by Jews, the virus as an element of spy action, the pandemic as a population control program, and 5G as the cause of the pandemic.

The aim of the article is to define the status of political correctness in the Polish language and its re-lationship with linguistic politeness. An important element is to describe the various approaches and attempts to define political correctness and to reflect on the ideologization of the studied phenomenon. The first step is to develop a theoretical basis, discussing the issue of linguistic politeness and political correctness. In the next part, both phenomena are confronted and their relationships are discussed via the example of the lexeme Murzyn (Black). The analysis of the problem showed the ideological entangle-ment of political correctness and a negative evaluation of this phenomenon, despite the assumptions convergent with linguistic politeness, which does not raise objections from language users.

Authors: Padot Rebecca 
Published: February 2021

Results from a four state foster care administration field research study in the United States with over 55 key player interviews produced data on what particular networking practices public managers perform that contributes to foster care administration effectiveness. One of these practices was the concept of inseparable powers, whereby the traditional checks and balances roles of the judicial, executive, and legislative branches are slightly altered in eras of state-level foster care administration effectiveness. During a period of inseparable powers, effective public managers work across the state branch boundaries in the United States with partners from other branches to produce better foster care outcomes.
