Published: November 2018

The article in question describes the history of development of agrometeorological service activities for agricultural production from the days of Mikhail Vasilyevich Lomonosov to the present. It is pointed out that the agrometeorological service experienced especially rapid development in the second half of the twentieth century. Establishment of the Department of Agricultural Meteorology in 1953 at the Ukrainian Research Hydrometeorological Institute stimulated development of agrometeorological research in Ukraine. Three stages can be distinguished in researches of this department on the influence of weather conditions on yield formation. At the first stage (1953 - 1963) generalization and systematization of the materials for study into agrohydrological soil properties were performed. At the second stage (1963 - 1973) a working hypothesis on the scheme for taking account of the influence of weather conditions on the vegetative mass increase was formulated, and a correlation analysis of crop productivity with hydrometeorological elements was carried out. A huge amount of work on research into the regime of photosynthetically active radiation and crop productivity as well as into the phytoclimate of the sown areas has been performed. The third stage (since 1974) is the stage of formation of a basic model for crop productivity and development of methods for forecasting productivity.
The agrometeorological service activities for agricultural production at every level is implemented in accordance with the approved annual plans for hydrometeorological activity of organizations. A basis for the agrometeorological provision is formed by the materials of meteorological and agrometeorological observations which are conducted at 163 meteorological stations throughout the country.
The Hydrometeorological Service of Ukraine represents the country in the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), an agency of the United Nations Organization (UNO). Leading agrometeorology experts take part in the activity of WMO Commission for Agricultural Meteorology (CAgM).
Relying on the scientifically substantiated methods of agrometeorological assessment, forecasts and recommendations, the Ukrainian Hydrometeorological Center and the regional centres for Hydrometeorology provide all the agricultural industries of the Agroindustrial complex with relevant information.

Assessments of changes in the intra-annual spatio-temporal variability of the hydrological characteristics of the Kuialnytskyi Lyman lagoon under various runoff volumes of the Velykyi Kuialnyk River were obtained from the results of calculations, using the predictive three dimensional hydrothermodynamic model Delft3D-FLOW.
Scenarios of increasing the river runoff inflow up to 25% and 75% of the monthly natural river runoff under conditions of 2015 were modelled, as well as under different by hydraulicity typical years of the modern climatic period of the 21st century (1990-2030), determined according to the most appropriate for the Kuialnytskyi Lyman lagoon region climatic scenario from the ENSEMBLES database, which corresponds to the global A1B scenario, calculated by the MPI-REMO model. Monthly values of the natural runoff of the Velykyi Kuialnyk River, calculated with the use of “climate-runoff” model, were used during the simulation.
Implementation of water management within the catchment area of the Velykyi Kuialnyk River and realization of various engineering and technical measures aimed at the increase of river inflow to the Kuialnytskyi Lyman lagoon, are identified to significantly affect the hydroecological regime of the lagoon only in case of supplying at least 75% of the natural river runoff volume into the lagoon.
The increase of the natural runoff of the Velykyi Kuialnyk River is incapable to provide the stabilization of the hydroecological regime of the Kuialnytskyi Lyman lagoon independently, without periodical replenishment of the lagoon with seawater from the Odessa Gulf.
Under the absence of replenishment of the lagoon with sea water and deficiency in the runoff of other small water streams flowing into the lagoon, the increase of the runoff of the Velykyi Kuialnyk River even up to 75% of the volume of its natural runoff could provide the stabilization of the annual cycle of water level and salinity variability in the lagoon only during the high-water years.

Мета – ретроспективний аналіз даних пацієнтів Державної наукової установи «Науково-практичний центр профілактичної та клінічної медицини» Державного управління справами (ДНУ «НПЦ ПКМ» ДУС), які перенесли інфаркт міокарда (ІМ) 2010-2017 роками, та порівняння отриманих даних із результатами вітчизняних і низки світових реєстрів.
Матеріал і методи. Проаналізували 756 випадків ІМ, зареєстрованих впродовж 2010-2017 рр. у 700 пацієнтів. Середній вік пацієнтів складав 71,9±10,79 року. Ґендерна структура була такою: чоловіків – 502 (66,4%), жінок – 254 (33,6%). Q-ІМ зареєстровано в 461 (61,0%) випадку, не-Q-ІМ – у 295 (39,0%). ІМ в анамнезі був у 201 (28,7%) пацієнта, всього зареєстровано 225 (29,8%) випадків повторного ІМ.
Результати. Середній вік пацієнтів, включених до локального реєстру, був більшим за такий у переважній більшості обраних для порівняння вітчизняних і світових досліджень. Впродовж 2010-2017 рр. захворюваність на ІМ серед контингенту пацієнтів ДНУ «НПЦ ПКМ» ДУС в 1,5-3 рази перевищувала аналогічний показник в Україні. Крім того, не виявлено тренду щодо частоти реєстрації випадків Q- і не-Q ІМ. За гострого коронарного синдрому (ГКС) зі стійким підйомом сегмента ST (ГКСпST) час «симптоми – виклик бригади швидкої медичної допомоги» складав 117 (60-454) хв. (n=57), а за ГКС без стійкого підйому сегмента ST (ГКСбпST) – 559 (68-2880) хв. (n=89) (p˂0,001). Часовий проміжок «симптоми-госпіталізація» для ГКСбпST був значуще довшим за такий для ГКСпST: 640 (195-2974) хв. (n=55) проти 225 (150-525) хв. (n=85) (p=0,002). Згідно з даними локального відомчого реєстру, впродовж 2010-2017 рр. спостерігалось збільшення частоти виконання транскутанних коронарних утручань − як у цілому, так і для окремих типів ІМ, що узгоджується з тенденцією в Україні та низці країн Європейського Союзу.
Висновок. Cтворення та науковий супровід локального відомчого реєстру пацієнтів ДНУ «НПЦ ПКМ» ДУС, які перенесли ІМ, дозволяє отримати інформацію про характеристики залученої популяції (демографічні, епідеміологічні, клінічні тощо), особливості надання медичної допомоги в умовах реальної клінічної практики, а також зіставити отримані результати з даними вітчизняних і світових реєстрових досліджень.

The age of mother pregnancy is a time limit of mothers pregnant, which is calculated from the first day of the last menstrual period. Normal gestational age is 40 weeks or 280 days as is the custom of 9 months 10 days as in postterm pregnancy. Postterm pregnancy is a pregnancy lasting > 42 weeks. Postterm gestational age tends to have a greater risk of giving birth to infants with complications such as asphyxia, macrosomia and perinatal mortality. This may be because placental function achieves peak at 38 weeks' gestation and then decreases after 42 weeks of gestation. As a result of aging placenta, the supply of food and oxygen to the fetus decreases and the uteroplacental circulation is only about 50%. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between gestational age with complications in newborns. The research design use analytic survey with cross sectional approach, population is taken as many as 210 respondents with sampling technique that is using purposive sampling then the big sample taken using finite formula and found the sample of 137 respondents who meet inclusion criteria. The instrument used is the medical record of patients in January - Juni 2016, measuring instrument used is documentation sheet, then data analysis in this study using crosstab conclusion from result no relation between gestational age with complication in newborn.

Racial Disparities in HIV Antiretroviral Medication Management are Mediated by Health Literacy
Authors: Waldrop-Valverde Drenna , Murden Raphiel Jamale , Guo Ying , Holstad Marcia , Ownby Raymond L. 
Published: November 2018

Background:
Despite the availability of antiretroviral (ARV) therapy in the United States, only 30% of people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWH) in the US are virally suppressed. Nonadherence to ARVs remains the strongest correlate of viral suppression. African Americans (AA) living with HIV/AIDS remain disproportionately affected by this disease, and studies report a greater proportion of infections and deaths among this group.

Objective:
Earlier studies by this team and others have shown that health literacy (HL) may negatively influence disparities in health behaviors, including management of ARV prescriptions, between AA and non-AA PLWH. This current study expands these findings and tests whether HL may explain disparities in medication management among AA and non-AA PLWH and includes important covariates and measures of participants' actual medication regimens.

Methods:
PLWH were recruited from HIV care clinics in the greater metropolitan area of Atlanta, GA, and completed a face-to-face study visit. A total of 699 PLWH, 65% of whom were AA, completed this study visit. Assessment of knowledge and management of participants' actual medication regimens showed highly skewed responses, demonstrating accurate verbal descriptions of ARV prescription instructions. A measure of problem-solving (how to manage a mock ARV regimen) showed significantly different performance by race and that HL measures (both reading comprehension and numeracy) mediated this relationship.

Key Results:
Findings suggest that although PLWH may be able to verbally explain how they are supposed to take their ARV medication, challenges may arise with management issues (eg, determining need for a refill, counting pills to determine if a dose was missed) and that PLWH with low HL (who are disproportionately AA) may be at greater risk for mistakes. Other characteristics, such as cognitive impairment, were also shown to influence medication management.

Conclusion:

Attention to PLWH's potential for mismanagement of ARV and other medications is important to identify for educational interventions.

Plain Language Summary:
This study tested if problems with taking medicine to treat HIV may be caused by poor reading and math skills. Even though most people were able to correctly say how they should take their HIV pills, knowing if they had missed a pill or counting out a week's number of pills was harder for those with lower reading and math skills.

Published: November 2018

Background:
Ethnic differences in health commence early in life. Ethnic minority young adults have a greater prevalence of unhealthier lifestyles and poorer health outcomes than their peers. Variations in health literacy could contribute to these ethnic inequalities in health but have not yet been investigated in this group.

Objective:
This study investigated ethnic differences in performance-based and self-reported health literacy in young adults and examined whether these differences are explained by educational level, language difficulties, or cultural distance.

Methods:

Young adults (age 18–25 years) from Dutch, African Surinamese, South-Asian Surinamese, Ghanaian, Turkish, and Moroccan ethnic backgrounds (
N
= 2,215) participated in the HELIUS (HEalthy Life in an Urban Setting) study, a cohort study in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Performance-based health literacy was measured by the Rapid Estimate of Adult Literacy in Medicine in Dutch (REALM-D). Self-reported health literacy was measured by the Chew's Set of Brief Screening Questions (SBSQ). The association between ethnicity and health literacy, and the role of background characteristics was assessed by linear regression analyses.

Key Results:
Performance-based health literacy was low (REALM-D <60; range, 0–66) among 17% of the participants. After adjustment for educational level, average levels of REALM-D were lower among participants from a Ghanaian, Turkish, and Moroccan background than those from a Dutch background, whereas the two Surinamese groups did not differ from the Dutch group. Additional adjustment for language difficulties and cultural distance did not explain the differences between the five ethnic minority groups. Self-reported health literacy was low (SBSQ <3; range, 0–4) among 3% of the participants. There were no differences in levels of SBSQ between the ethnic minority groups and the Dutch group.

Conclusions:

We found ethnic differences in performance-based health literacy, which largely remained after adjustment for educational level. Further research is needed to gain insight into how young adults from different ethnic groups appraise and apply health information in various contexts.
