Đặc trưng và biến động nguồn lợi động vật đáy thủy vực Nha Phu được xác định thông qua việc tổng hợp các tư liệu nghiên cứu trước đây và qua 2 chuyến điều tra khảo sát vào năm 2012 và 2015. Kết quả nghiên cứu đã xác định được thành phần các đối tượng nguồn lợi khai thác tự nhiên, bao gồm thân mềm (15 loài) cao gấp 1,5 lần giáp xác nhưng sản lượng giáp xác luôn chiếm ưu thế (chiếm từ 68 - 100% tổng sản lượng động vật đáy tùy theo thời gian). Trong đó Portunus pelagicus (Ghẹ Xanh) (chiếm từ 53 - 74% tổng sản lượng giáp xác) và nguồn giống Tôm Hùm (Panulirus spp.) chiếm ưu thế trong các loại nguồn giống. Đa số nguồn lợi động vật đáy thuộc nhóm sống trên mặt đáy, sinh sống ở vùng dưới triều, đáy cát. Sản lượng nguồn lợi động vật đáy có chiều hướng suy giảm nghiêm trọng. Nguyên nhân có thể do suy giảm diện tích rừng ngập mặn, sự gia tăng phương tiện và ngư cụ khai thác mang tính hủy diệt và tận thu như xiết điện và lưới lồng.
EST for EMI: A Problem-Based Learning Approach to Domain-Specific Fluency
Authors: Hannigan Sharon 
Published: April 2017

An English for Science and Technology (EST) course is offered as a potential bridge to English as a Medium of Instruction (EMI) in the sciences. Consisting of four modules, each organized around a “big problem” in science or technology, the course challenges students to collectively arrive at solutions through critical and creative thinking that ultimately finds expression in three modalities: verbal (e.g., expert panel discussions, debates) graphic (e.g., problem statements, action plans), and visual-spatial (e.g., graphs, models). It is suggested that Problem-Based Learning (PBL) approaches to language learning – especially ones propelled by critical thinking frameworks (e.g., SPRE) – not only ease the transition to science courses where English is the medium of instruction but promote the acquisition of general competencies thought vital to 21st century success.
Looking for an EIL Pronunciation Standard: A Literature Review and Classroom Experience from the Russian L1 Perspective
Authors: Skopintseva Tatiana 
Published: April 2017

This article concerns itself with the identification of language units essential to the intelligibility of communication of non-native English speakers (NNESs) in international settings, or English as an international language (EIL) communication. It focuses on a seemingly narrow but nevertheless significant area of speech production and reception – pronunciation. Based on the works of pronunciation scholars and classroom experience, we outline areas of concern for NNES training and suggest pronunciation foci for Russian learners of English as a foreign language (EFL). We specifically examine areas where academic discourse goals overlap with the goals of developing NNES pronunciation fluency and rhetorical competence, targeting those features that, if improved upon, would make NNES speech sound intelligible, educated and cultured as the academic environment requires. We consider these features in view of their importance for two emerging pedagogical domains: English as a lingua franca (ELF) and English as a medium of instruction (EMI), particularly taking into account their approach to NNESs’ identity and attitude.
Language, Task and Situation: Authenticity in the Classroom
Authors: Beatty Ken 
Published: April 2017

There is debate on the use of authenticity in language classrooms in terms of language, task, and situation. “Authenticity of language” spans a continuum that begins with inauthentic materials – wholly created by a teacher or materials developer – to constructed materials, modified from real-world materials, to those materials created for non-pedagogical L1 purposes. “Authenticity of task” questions whether students are engaging with language materials in a way that would appear natural outside the classroom. “Authenticity of situation” refers to non-classroom contexts. Complicating ideas of authenticity is the question of materials selection. This paper explores teachers’ awareness of authenticity and suggests ways to incorporate authentic language, tasks, and situations to enhance classroom learning.
New approaches to teacher development in an EAP context
Authors: Velikaya Elena 
Published: April 2017

Professional development is an important part of teachers’ professional lives. It involves improvement of individual skills, personal performance, chances of obtaining a good job, and career advancement. The article reports on teacher professional development of English language teachers. It, first, explains the need for teacher training seminars and an increased demand for new IELTS exam teaching skills based on a study conducted by the author; then it outlines standards for English teachers and, finally, it looks at various areas of teacher development at the tertiary level, such as teaching portfolio, collaboration, teacher study groups, workshops, and research seminars. Findings reveal that teachers lack experience of teaching for IELTS and its assessment; they have also difficulties in teaching academic style to students and explaining the text structure for two IELTS essays; the format of the speaking part is also a problem with several teachers. These results indicate that there is a need for teacher training seminars as the first step in teacher development and a demand for continuous professional development in a particular university context.
On the Conceptual Basis of the English Adjectival Category
Authors: Antonova Marina 
Published: April 2017

The paper focuses on the cognitive foundation of English adjectives that denote mental characteristics of human beings. Several cognitive models have been advanced in an attempt to account for the semantic structure underlying the lexical category in question. After reviewing these models, a method for determining which of them most accurately captures the “cognitive reality” of English adjectival “deep structure” is proposed. The paper concludes with arguments for the inclusion of additional “motion attributes” to Lakoff’s ICM (1987), namely, “guide’s support” and “speed”.
Russian Students’ Associative View of Germans
Authors: Glushak Vasiliy 
Published: April 2017

The article investigates semantic forms of the association field ‘German’ in the linguistic consciousness of Russian students. It systematises Russian stereotypical ideas of Germans through a word association experiment. Five thematic areas of the semantic form ‘German’ are described. Both direct (from stimulus to response) and inverse (from response to stimulus) test items probing the associative field ‘German’ were analysed. The results indicate how stable stereotypical ideas of Germans are in the consciousness of today’s Russian students.
Investigating the Gap between L2 Grammar Textbooks and Authentic Speech: Corpus-Based Comparisons of Reported Speech
Authors: Cancellaro Kevin 
Published: April 2017

Corpus Linguistics (CL) has made significant inroads into the field of second language acquisition (SLA) and pedagogy. As more corpora have become available, researchers and teachers alike have begun to realize the importance of empirically testing ideas that have long been taken for granted and accepted as fact. This is especially true for grammar textbooks written for second language (L2) learners. Do the textbooks that are being used reflect real world grammatical usage? The current study is the first of two in which three corpora were used to examine real world usage of reported speech (RS) as compared to typical presentations of RS in popular L2 grammar U.S. textbooks as they existed in and up to the year 2007. Results show that indirect reported speech (IRS), direct reported speech (DRS) and alternative forms of RS constructions in combination are not only frequent in spoken English but also dependent on register and context. Further, simplifying RS explanations in terms of backshifing with the use of a past tense main reporting verb may be providing inaccurate information to L2 learners of American English. Results generally support, with some exceptions, the findings in previous studies which employed corpus-based analysis to study the relevance of EFL/ESL textbooks (Al-Wossabi, 2014; Barbieri & Eckhardt, 2007; Khojasteh &Shakrpour, 2014; Šegedin, 2008). A forthcoming study will examine new corpora and revised textbooks to measure the degree of change that has occurred since 2007, thereby seeking to replicate the results of a more general review on the same topic done by Khojasteh and Shakrpour (2014).

Aim. To evaluate efficacy of combined antipyretic drug in the treatment of acute respiratory diseases.
Methods. 97 children aged 3 to 6 years admitted in 2014-2015 were observed. Children were divided into 3 groups: in group 1 (23 children) paracetamol with single dose 10 to 15 mg/kg was administered, in group 2 (36 children) ibuprofen (single dose 6-10 mg/kg) was used, in group 3 (38 patients) combined antipyretic drug (100 mg of paracetamol and 125 mg of ibuprofen) was administered with daily dose not exceeding 3 tablets for less than 3 days. Clinical and instrumental and laboratory studies were performed in all children, specialists’ consultations were administered if necessary. Compliance (number of refusal to take medication because of inefficacy, intolerance of a drug or dissatisfaction with organoleptic properties of a drug) was assessed by parents’ surveys. Satisfaction with the results of treatment with a combined drug was evaluated by patients’ parents by means of integral scale IMPSS. Verification of certain etiologic factors was performed by means of direct immunofluorescence assay of nasal smear.
Results. As a result of the study it was found that among the etiologic factors of acute respiratory diseases of observed patients parainfluenza viruses and adenoviruses were predominant. When the combined drug was used, almost all parents were sure of children’s treatment safety. Administration of the combined drug was associated with faster and persistent fever reduction and decrease of children’s hospital stay. Due to long-term normal temperature when treated with combined drug children had better well-being, that positively influenced their sleep. In groups 1 and 2 with separately administered paracetamol and ibuprofen 28.3% of parents were unsatisfied with the medication while among the parents, whose children received a combination of ibuprofen and paracetamol, only 5.3% were unsatisfied (p

Authors: Lunina N A , Velikaya O V , Kunin V A 
Published: April 2017

Aim. To study clinical efficacy of chronic generalized periodontitis treatment in patients with infiltrative pulmonary tuberculosis with the use of α-lipoic acid.
Methods. 50 patients with chronic generalized periodontitis and infiltrative pulmonary tuberculosis randomly divided into 2 groups were examined. The study group included 25 patients who had received α-lipoic acid «Octolipen» in complex treatment for 3 months. The comparison group included 25 patients who were administered complex treatment of tuberculosis and periodontitis without α-lipoic acid. All patients on admission and dynamically after 3 months of treatment had routine clinical studies, cytology analysis of capillary gingival blood and gingival fluid and cytokine status testing of oral fluid.
Results. Patients with chronic generalized periodontitis combined with infiltrative pulmonary tuberculosis who received «Octopilen» had statistically significant positive dynamics of clinical signs and decrease of basic dental indices after 3 months of treatment compared to baseline data. Dynamics of IL-1β, tumor necrosis factor α and IL-4 revealed significant decrease of these cytokines concentration in gingival fluid in patients from both groups after 3 months of treatment.
Conclusion. Inclusion of α-lipoic acid product to complex treatment of patients with chronic generalized periodontitis combined with infiltrative pulmonary tuberculosis leads to faster clinical remission.

Authors: Babaev A M , Zul’fugarova Dzh B 
Published: April 2017

Aim. To investigate the relation of different genotypes and alleles of PAI-1 gene with the course of coronary artery disease.
Methods. We observed 80 patients with coronary artery disease (51 males and 29 females) aged 39 to 65 years living in the city of Baku. Genotyping of a polymorphic marker 4G(-675)5G was performed by means of polymerase chain reaction followed by restriction fragment length analysis. Genomic deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) was extracted from venous blood leukocytes. To determine the frequency distribution of genotypes and alleles of PAI-1 in ischemic heart disease all patients were divided into 6 groups depending on the course of the disease and its outcomes.
Results. In the population of Baku genotype 44 of PAI-1 gene is significantly more common in people with coronary artery disease compared to individuals without coronary artery disease and is a risk factor for this disease. Genotype 55 of PAI-1 gene is more common in people without coronary artery disease and thus is a protective genotype against this disease. Allele 4 of PAI-1 was statistically more frequently recorded in patients with ischemic heart disease, and allele 5 was significantly more frequently observed in patients without this pathology. Therefore, allele 4 is a risk factor for the occurrence of coronary heart disease and allele 5 is protective against this disease. Alleles 5 and 4 are not associated with the course and outcomes of ischemic heart disease.
Conclusion. According to the results of the study on the population of Baku, genotype 44 of PAI-1 gene is a risk factor of ischemic heart disease, genotype 55 of PAI-1 gene is protective against this pathology, allele 4 is characteristic for people with coronary artery disease (a risk factor), allele 5 is characteristic for people without it (protective role) whereas the named genotypes of PAI-1 are not connected to the course and outcomes of this disease.
Satisfaction with medical services as a factor of competitiveness of regional health care institutions
Authors: Gudimenko G V , Kondrashova R A 
Published: April 2017

Aim. To conduct comparative analysis of patients’ satisfaction with medical services in private and public health care institutions, considering satisfaction as a factor of improving competitiveness.
Methods. Analysis of satisfaction with medical services in two medical institutions in Orel was performed by means of survey of 300 patients and analysis of web-based feedbacks. The obtained quantitative data were processed, grouped and presented as a result of statistical observation.
Results. According to the results of the survey of clients of the medical center «Sakara» it was found that almost 100% of patients were satisfied with medical services, and according to the web-based feedbacks 59.1% of patients were not satisfied with the services and stuff attitude. In polyclinic №2 according to the results of the survey about 70% of the visitors were satisfied, and according to web-based feedbacks 78.8% are completely unsatisfied. It was revealed that over time consumers marked down their assessment and sometimes they even became reverse. In this regard we identified the primary level of satisfaction - satisfaction, and secondary level - contentment (discontent). Primary satisfaction and subsequent contentment of consumers with medical services do not coincide and are not consistent. The explanation of this result lies in specificity of medical services, their duration and uncertainty of outcome. In the market of medical services in Russia satisfaction doesn’t often transform into customer loyalty, and therefore is not a source of profit. Between the parameters of satisfaction and customer contentment there is a gap due to the current efficiency of services and customer expectations.
Conclusion. Medical institutions should constantly analyze satisfaction and contentment of consumers for wider and more justified understanding of their behavior, preferences and expectations; identification of medical instituion problems and their timely correction is one of the most effective mechanisms to improve competitiveness.

Authors: Gadzhiev Dzh G 
Published: April 2017

Aim. Assessment of organs and tissues of oral cavity of professional athletes who use protective mouth guards.
Methods. Dental examination of 340 professional athletes of Olympic reserve at the age of 18 to 32 years with a duration of sport experience of 9-13 years was performed. We investigated the effect of mouth guards on the condition of the marginal periodontium and microbial contamination. Changes in periodontal tissues were diagnosed by means of traditional methods of inspection, probing of the periodontal grooves, recesses, as well as determining tooth mobility. The control group included 20 athletes not using athletic mouth guards during training.
Results. High prevalence of caries (in average, in all examined athletes the rate of carious teeth reaches 32.90%) and fairly high prevalence of severe forms of periodontal diseases in those patients were revealed. Evaluation of the structure of the index of teeth with decay and fillings and removed teeth showed major defects in timely dental care organization for professional boxers: their ratio of filled teeth does not exceed 40.36% in average. A significant number of extracted teeth (more than 23%) indicates that the examined patients require dental orthopaedic care. 30 examined athletes wearing protective mouth guards had the strains of P. gingivalis, A. Actinomycetemcomitans and P. oralis revealed.
Conclusion. The study of dental status of professional athletes using protective mouth guards, showed high prevalence of inflammatory periodontal diseases and low level of hygienic state of oral cavity.

Published: April 2017

Aim. Study of the efficacy of respiratory gymnastics in the treatment of panic attacks.
Methods. The study included 28 patients with the diagnosis of «panic attacks»: 22 females and 6 males. All participants followed the specially developed respiratory gymnastics program twice a day daily for 2 months. In each patient neurological status was checked before and after the study, and cardiovascular parameters (heart rate, blood pressure), respiration rate, severity and frequency of panic attacks were registered. For the evaluation of anxiety Spielberger scale for anxiety was used. The level of depression was assessed according to Hamilton rating scale for depression. For identification of hyperventilation syndrome hyperventilation provocation test was performed and Nijmegen questionnaire was used.
Results. After respiratory gymnastics for 2 months the frequency of panic attacks decreased by 66%, the number of symptoms during panic attacks decreased by 50%. Respiratory rate decreased by 18%, Nijmegen questionnaire score - by 28%. The level of situational anxiety and depression decreased by 15 and 14%, respectively, and degree of personal anxiety decreased by 5%. Cardiovascular parameters decreased nonsignificantly: pulse - by 3%, systolic and diastolic BP - by 1 and 2%, respectively.
Conclusion. Respiratory gymnastics effectively decreases the frequency and severity of panic attacks and can be effectively used in the complex treatment of panic attacks as a safe and effective non-drug method of treatment.

Цель. Разработать систему дистанционного обучения в дерматовенерологии и оценить её эффективность.
Методы. Работа выполнена на базе кафедры дерматовенерологии Северо-Западного государственного медицинского университета им. И.И. Мечникова (г. Санкт-Петербург). На основе лицензионной версии программы 1С-Битрикс разработана система дистанционного обучения для врачей-дерматовенерологов в составе модуля «Школа врача». В оценке сравнительной эффективности обучения приняли участие 23 ординатора 1-го года подготовки и 16 ординаторов 2-го года обучения кафедры дерматовенерологии. Врачи-ординаторы каждого года подготовки были разделены на две приблизительно равные группы: контрольную и исследуемую. Контрольная группа в отличие от опытной в процессе подготовки не пользовалась системой дистанционного обучения. Для оценки межгрупповых различий использовали Т-критерий Уилкоксона парных сравнений и U-критерий Манна-Уитни.
Результаты. Различия между результатами контрольного тестирования врачей-ординаторов 1-го года обучения из исследуемой и контрольной групп оказались статистически значимы (р
