Features of helminthoses in cattle and sheep in the Kaliningrad region
Authors: Ефремов  , Efremov A. 
Published: January 2017

Objective of research: Parasitic diseases of which helminthoses are the most dangerous, lead to decrease in livestock numbers, milk and meat production. Therefore, the important task is to develop highly effective broad-spectrum anthelmintics, optimal doses of their application and schedules for dehelmintization taking into account epizootological features of different helminthoses.
Materials and methods: Research was carried out at livestock farms of Bagrationovsky, Gvardeysky, Guryevsky, Zelenogradsky, Nesterovsky, Krasnoznamensky, Slavsky, Gusevsky, Nemansky, Prabdinsky, Polessky, Ozersky, Chernyakhovsky districts of the Kaliningrad region. Some jobs were conducted at the Department of Zootechnics of Kaliningrad State Technical University. 680 cattle and 370 sheep heads were investigated.
Results and discussion: Monieziasis is spread in all districts of the Kaliningrad region, and causes significant economic damage to livestock. In the Kaliningrad region located in the area of over-moistening, oribatid mites appear on the soil surface in the first decade of April, then the increase in mite numbers is observed until July-August. At infestation of animals at the end of the pasture period, growth and development of helminths
is slower than in spring and summer seasons. Preventive (pre-imaginal) dehelmintizations and efficient use of pastures are leading measures for the prevention of monieziasis in ruminants.

Authors: Дегтяревская  , Degtyarevskaya T. 
Published: January 2017

Objective of research: The study of eosinophilic reaction in blood at experimental dictycaulosis of young sheep and after providing the complex therapy.
Materials and methods: The research was conducted in August- September 2013at an experimental farm «Kurilovo» in Podolsk district of Moscow region. Six mongrel lambs at 4–5 months of age, free from infection, and 18 lambs experimentally infected with Dictyocaulus filarial at gtye dose of 1000 larvae per head were investigated. 30 days after invasion, lambs were divided into 3 equal groups (6 head in each) and kept under conditions excluding the possibility of spontaneous invasion. Lambs of the first group free from infection, served as controls and did not receive the drug. Infected animas of the second group were not treated and served as controls. Lambs of the third group received Alben as 20% granulated powder at the dose of 5 mg a.i./kg (0,25 g of granules per 10 kg of body weight); the fourth group of lambs received Alben at the same dose and subcutaneously T-activin at the dose of 2 mkg/kg once a day on the 1st , 3rd and 7th day of invasion, and В-activin at the dose of 5 mkg/ kg intramusculary once a day during 5 days. Before the experiment and after 7, 15, 30 and 60 days of treatment, blood samples were taken from calves. Trilon B was used as anticoagulant. Blood eosinophil levels were measured by the standard method.
Results and discussion: Persistent blood eosinophilia was determined at experimental dictycaulosis in lambs. The level of eosinophils cannot be fully restored by dehelmintization with Alben. The full restoration of the quantity of eosinophils in blood of infected lambs occurs after the complex therapy with Alben in combination with T and В-activin.

Authors: Сербина  , Serbina E. 
Published: January 2017

Objective of research: to perform the analysis of long-term (15 annum) dynamics of Bithyniidae snails infected by trematode parthenites from the Chany Lake, the biggest lake in the south of Western Siberia.
Materials and methods: The Bithyniidae snails examined in the lake-river systems Chany Lake in 1994-2013 (in the middle reaches and in the estuary of the Kargat River) and in the Zolotye Rossypi Bay and the Malye Chany Lake. The Bithyniidae snails were collected from May to September (twice in any ten days) by hand from 4–6 plots of 0.25 m2 at a depth of 0.1–0.7 m. In total, 8,316 Bithynia troscheli (Paasch, 1842) and 766 В. tentaculata (L., 1758) were examined. Identification of parthenitae trematode was based on observation when mature cercariae were capable of leaving the shell of the host snail on their own.
Results and discussion: In Bithyniidae snails, we found parthenites from trematodes from 12 families Cyathocotylidae Mühling, 1898 Poche, 1925; Prosthоgonimidae Luhe, 1909; Pleurogenetidae Looss, 1898; Lecithodendriidae Odhner, 1911; Microphallidae (Ward, 1901) Travassos, 1920; Plagiorchiidae Lühe, 1901 Echinostomatidae (Looss 1899) Dietz, 1909 Odhner 1910); Psilostomidae (Looss 1900) Odhner 1913; Notocotylidae Luhe, 1909; Monorchiidae Odhner, 1911; Cyclocoelidae Kossack, 1911 и Opisthorchidae (Lass, 1899) Braun, 1901.
The prevalence of bithyniid snails infected by trematode parthenites varied from 1,6% to 24,1% in different years
The double infection by trematode parthenites was found in 0,96% bithyniid snails from estuary of the Kargat River; 4,45% in the Malye Chany Lake, and 26,6%, in the Zolotye Rossypi Bay. The cercariae of Opisthorchidae family in four annum of the fifteen detected. The prevalence of bithyniid snails infected by trematode parthenites from Opisthorchis felineus (Rivolta, 1884) and Metorchis bilis (Braun, 1890) was observed in Chany Lake systems for the first time. Both species (O. felineus and M. bilis) of trematodes have danger to human health and causes very dangerous disease, opisthorchiasis and metorchiasis.

Authors: Римская  , Rimskaya O. , Пальянов  , Palyanov A. 
Published: January 2017

The reforms of the education system that took place in many countries have an impact on the funding of education. Decentralization of the education governing
resulted in uneven allocation of state investments and change in state participation in education. Comparison of international education financing indexes both in general and on its individual levels based on the four main indexes was carried out to define the features of education financing in the world. The problem of international comparison of education financing indexes lies in identification of the integrated index of resources’ provision on the one hand and various results of education system functioning on the other one. The research conducted shows that in order to transfer to the education model for innovative development of state and society, government of any country should make serious efforts at reforming the education system, including the change in the financing structure of education.
Patient Portal as a Tool for Enhancing Patient Experience and Improving Quality of
Care in Primary Care Practices
Authors: Sorondo Barbara , Allen Amy , Fathima Samreen , Bayleran Janet , Sabbagh Iyad 
Published: January 2017

Introduction: This study assessed whether patient portals influence patients’
ability for self-management, improve their perception of health state, improve their
experience with primary care practices, and reduce healthcare
utilization.Methods: Patients participating in a nurse-led care coordination program
received personalized training to use the portal to communicate with the care team. Data
analysis included pre-post comparison of self-efficacy (CDSES), health state (EQVAS),
functional status (PROMIS®), experience with the provider/practice (CG-CAHPS), and
healthcare utilization (admissions and ED visits).Results: A total of 94 patients were
enrolled, and 92 (Intent to Treat) were followed up for 7 months to assess their
experience, and for 12 months to assess healthcare utilization. Seventy four (mean age
60+13 years) used the portal (Users). Comparison between baseline and 7-month follow-up
showed no statistically significant improvements in self-efficacy, perception of health
state or experience with the primary care practice. Only functional status improved
significantly. ED visits/1000 patients were reduced by 26% and 21% in the Intent to
Treat and Users groups, respectively. Hospital admissions/1000 patients were reduced by
46% in the Intent to Treat group and by 38% in the Users group.Discussion: For patients
in care coordination, having access to patient portals may improve access to providers
and health data that lead to improvements in patients’ functional status and reduce
high-cost healthcare utilization, but it does not seem to improve self-efficacy,
perception of health state, or experience with primary care practices.Conclusion: In
this study, the use of patient portals improved functional status and reduced high-cost
healthcare utilization in patients with chronic conditions.
Impact of Sterile Compounding Batch Frequency on Pharmaceutical Waste
Authors: Abbasi Ghalib , Gay Evan 
Published: January 2017

Purpose To measure the impact of increasing sterile compounding batch frequency on pharmaceutical waste as it relates to cost and quantity. Methods Pharmaceutical IV waste at a tertiary care hospital was observed and recorded for 7 days. The batching frequency of compounded sterile products (CSPs) was then increased from twice daily to 4 times daily. After a washout period, pharmaceutical IV waste was then recorded for another 7 days. The quantity of units wasted and the cost were compared between both phases to determine the impact that batching frequency has on IV waste, specifically among high- and low-cost drugs. Results Patient days increased from 2,459 during phase 1 to 2,617 during phase 2. The total number of CSPs wasted decreased from 3.6 to 2.7 doses per 100 patient days. Overall cost was reduced from $4,585.36 in phase 1 to $4,453.88 in phase 2. The value of wasted high-cost drugs per 100 patient days increased from $146 in phase 1 to $149 in phase 2 ( p > .05). The value of wasted low cost drugs per 100 patient days decreased from $41 in phase 1 to $21 in phase 2 ( p < .05). Conclusion: Lean batch IV methodology reduced overall waste quantity and cost. The highest impact of the intervention was observed among low-cost CSPs.

Published: January 2017

AbstractHyperglycemia‐induced oxidative stress plays a key role in the onset/progression of cardiovascular diseases. For example, it can trigger formation of advanced glycation end (AGE) products with ischemia‐reperfusion performed under hyperglycemic conditions. For this study, we hypothesized that albumin modified by glycation loses its unique cardioprotective properties in the setting of ischemia‐reperfusion under high glucose conditions. Here, ex vivo rat heart perfusions were performed under simulated normo‐ and hyperglycemic conditions, that is Krebs‐Henseleit buffer containing 11 mmol/L and 33 mmol/L glucose, respectively, ± normal or glycated albumin preparations. The perfusion protocol consisted of a 60 min stabilization step that was followed by 20 min of global ischemia and 60 min reperfusion. Additional experiments were completed to determine infarct sizes in response to 20 min regional ischemia and 120 min reperfusion. At the end of perfusions, heart tissues were isolated and evaluated for activation of the AGE pathway, oxidative stress, and apoptosis. Our data reveal that native bovine serum albumin treatment elicited cardioprotection (improved functional recovery, decreased infarct sizes) under high glucose conditions together with enhanced myocardial antioxidant capacity. However, such protective features are lost with glycation where hearts displayed increased infarct sizes and poor functional recovery versus native albumin treatments. Myocardial antioxidant capacity was also lowered together with activation of the intracellular AGE pathway. These data therefore show that although albumin acts as a cardioprotective agent during ischemia‐reperfusion, it loses its cardioprotective and antioxidant properties when modified by glycation.
New alien plant species recorded in the southern regions of Latvia / Pietiniuose Latvijos rajonuose aptiktos naujos svetimžemės augalų rūšys
Authors: Gudžinskas Zigmantas , Petrulaitis Lukas 
Published: January 2017

Abstract
Alien plants are one of the most dynamic and rapidly changing components of flora. Many intentionally introduced plants, which formerly were in cultivation only, now are increasingly found escaped and occur in anthropogenic or seminatural habitats. During field investigations in the southern districts of Latvia in 2014-2016, six new alien plant species were recorded: Allium nutans, Hylotelephium spectabile, Solidago ×niederederi, Symphyotrichum dumosum, S. lanceolatum and S. novae-angliae. To date, four species, Allium nutans, Hylotelephium spectabile, Symphyotrichum dumosum and S. novae-angliae, occur as casual aliens in Latvia. Solidago ×niederederi should be ascribed to the group of established species, whereas Symphyotrichum lanceolatum has naturalized and is potentially invasive. Notes on morphology and identification of species as well as characteristics of the recorded populations are discussed. A note on 20 other alien plant species recorded in wastelands, abandoned meadows and unused arable fields in the south-western part of Daugavpils city is also provided.

Abstract
Sosnowsky’s hogweed (Heracleum sosnowskyi Manden.) mericarps were collected from satellite and stem branch umbels for comparative anatomical investigation. Located near Vilnius city, the habitat of Heracleum sosnowskyi, formerly a natural forest edge has recently been densely occupied by plants of this species. SEM micrographs of abaxial and adaxial surfaces of mericarps obtained from satellite and stem branch umbels of H. sosnowskyi were similar, but morphometrical analysis revealed statistically significant differences in mericarps collected from satellite umbels, which were longer and wider than mericarps from stem branch umbels. The data on longitudinal sections of H. sosnowskyi mericarps clearly showed that embryos of satellite umbels were at later torpedo stage compared to embryos of stem branch umbels, which were at earlier heart stage. These data represent unequal development of the embryos in mericarps from different types of umbels. Such different development can be treated as an adaptation of the invasive plant to occupy the current habitat and survive in the seed bank by allowing the embryo to complete development within a seed and germinate when new conditions permit.

AbstractAt present biodegradable implants received increased attention due to their use in various fields of medicine. This work is dedicated to testing of biodegradable materials which could be used as bone implants. The samples were prepared from the carbonyl iron powder by replication method and surface polymer film was produced through sol-gel process. Corrosion testing was carried out under static conditions during 12 weeks in Hank’s solution. The quantity of corrosion products increased with prolonging time of static test as it can be concluded from the results of EDX analysis. The degradation of open cell materials with polyethylene glycol coating layer was faster compared to uncoated Fe sample. Also the mass losses were higher for samples with PEG coating. The polymer coating brought about the desired increase in degradation rate of porous iron material.

Published: January 2017

Abstract
The micromechanisms of fracture of AZ61 + 1 wt. % Al2O3 composite in the zone of superplastic deformation was analysed and quantified in this work. The specimens were tested at temperature of 200°C at different strain rates. Changing the strain rate, from 1x10-2 s-1 to 1x10-4 s-1, a significant growth of ductility was observed. At maximum value of superplasticity the fracture was transcrystalline ductile with dimples of two size categories. Based on the statistical analysis of fracture micromechanisms at the elevated temperature and strain rates of 10-0- 1x10-4 s-1 hyperbolic dependency was depicted according to Gurland - Plateau theory.

Educational research between on devices and mobile learning
Authors: Martiniello Lucia , Paparella Nicola 
Published: January 2017

Abstract
The great potential of mobile learning devices hooks up these new contexts that are, above all, cultural and social, but also organisational and relational, forcing us to reconsider fundamental themes of pedagogical discourse. Among these themes, the first must be the construction of the student’s identity and, connected to this, the issue of personalised education. Let us consider, for instance, the by-now familiar distinction between formal, informal and non-formal. Compared with formal learning, we have always considered the two conditions of informal and non-formal education as independent or at least parallel, but essentially distinct and fundamentally different. In the moment in which teaching is done through mobility, and therefore with the effects of interference in contexts completely different from those that are somewhat predictable by the designer of distance learning, can we still think of a "distinction" between formal and informal or, at least, should we not assume a sort of context cross-breeding?
The question does not arise from considerations of quantitative, but instead arises from qualitative, evaluations. In our opinion, here exists a paradigm: the learning context not only escapes the teaching team’s realm of predictability, but somehow eludes even the predictability of the learner, and indeed, it is the very nature of the context that takes completely different characteristics and connotations.
We are on the verge of justifying a major revision of some paradigms that relate to the nature of the context, the role of the teacher and the position (in the sociological sense) of the student, which also affect the nature of the message and, more generally, the “entire educational setting”. It means working in this direction.
Spin-offs of the Third Mission and social innovation: the case study of the research–training–intervention project of Geodata Ltd
Authors: Del Gottardo Ezio , Patera Salvatore 
Published: January 2017

Abstract
As a result of enactment of Law 297/1999, many Italian universities could improve the opportunities in applied research, activating spin-offs and start-ups in conformity with those regulations. This is a new challenge in the universities’ mission: universities are capable (and therefore they are asked) to generate not only new knowledge and competent professional profiles, but also to make a new effort in implementing the “third mission” for promoting social innovation. Considering this background, we present a research project - a training intervention named “Participatory culture, personal branding and organisational wellness” - by Espéro Pvt, a spin-off of the University of Salento, for Geodata Engineering Ltd., located in Turin, Italy. Presented below are the theoretical framework (learning organisation, empowerment evaluation and organisational wellness) and the methodology, as well as the first results.
