Authors: Georgiew Filip , Florek Jakub , Janowiec Sebastian , Florek Paweł 
Published: January 2023

IntroductionA review of the literature from the last 10 years quite clearly shows that immobilization of the wrist in the splint (orthosis) is the most effective, initial method of conservative treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). The particular advantages of the described method of treatment are: availability, low cost, good patient tolerance, simplicity and minimal incidence of complications.
The aim of this study was to try to define the criteria of proceeding with the selection of the type of orthosis and the duration of its use depending on the clinical condition and the patient’s expectations.Material and MethodsThe PubMed electronic database was searched for appropriately selected studies published between 2012 and 2022. The search strategy used was based on the following keywords: carpal tunnel syndrome, immobilization, orthosis, conservative treatment. The authors also searched the cited literature on relevant research and review papers on potentially relevant topics related to conservative treatment of the CTS.ConclusionsImmobilization in an orthosis gives therapeutic effects in all patients, regardless of the stage of the carpal tunnel syndrome.
Most often the orthosis is only used at night for several weeks. During the exacerbation of symptoms, it can also be used during the day during activities that increase symptoms.
In practice, it is recommended to wear a splint that immobilizes the wrist in a neutral position or slightly extended at 0–15 degrees (most often 0–5 degrees).
A splint immobilizing the wrist and the 2–5 metacarpophalangeal joints are recommended for patients with positive Berger test results.
There are no statistically significant differences in the treatment results between individual and traditional orthoses.
No statistically significant differences were observed in the treatment effects between rigid and soft orthoses.

Представлены результаты оценки успешности естественного лесовосстановления вырубок в условиях Западно-Сибирского подтаежно-лесостепного района (на примере Шатровского лес- ничества Курганской области). Установлено, что на вырубках площадью до 4 га через 1–2 года после сплошнолесосечной рубки лесовосстановление протекает довольно успешно с формированием дору- бочного состава подроста. Вырубки возобновляются преимущественно двумя древесными породами – сосной и березой. Количество всходов сосны и березы варьирует в пределах 15–17 тыс. шт./га. На выруб- ках преобладает мелкий по высоте подрост – 55–70 % от общего количества подроста. Во всех высотных категориях подроста сосны и березы отмечается преобладание жизнеспособного подроста – до 70–90 % от общего количество подроста каждой древесной породы. По общему значению встречаемости жиз- неспособного подроста всех древесных пород и высотных категорий возобновление происходит равно- мерно по всей территории вырубок. Согласно действующим нормативам, по количеству жизнеспособ- ного подроста главных древесных пород на изучаемых вырубках естественное лесовосстановление на данном этапе развития оценивается как хорошее. В качестве лесохозяйственных мероприятий можно предложить проведение мониторинга за состоянием подроста и уходные мероприятия за подростом. Для более детального анализа и получения достоверных данных лесовосстановления вырубок исследуемого района необходимо продолжить исследования.
The results of features formations of natural reforestation of cuttings of the West Siberian sub- boreal forest-steppe (for example, Shatrovsky forestry of the Kurgan region) are presented. It has found that the cuttings of up to 4 hectares, 1–2 years after clear felling nature reforestation is successfully. According to studies it is observed of reafforestation continuity of cuttings. The cuttings reforestation with two tree species – pine and birch proceed. The presence of young seedling and undergrowth of the high-elevation categories «small», «medium» and «large» is noted. The number of pines and birches young seedling between 15–17 thousand pieces/ha varied. Small undergrowth prevails in the cuttings – 55–70 % of the total amount of undergrowth. Viable undergrowth prevails – up to 70–90 % of the total number of undergrowth of each tree species. According to current speciﬁ cation, the pine natural regeneration is assessed as «normal». It can be proposed to ecological monitoring of the undergrowth vital status and care measures for the undergrowth.

ГОСТ 26493–85 регламентирует параметры вибрации оборудования целлюлозно-бумажных производств. Однако этот стандарт устарел, не учитывает современные конструкции технологического оборудования и требования новых государственных и международных стандартов. В статье сделана попытка нормирования и мониторинга вибрации технологического оборудования с учетом современных требований. Установлено два критерия оценки вибрационного состояния оборудования. Первый критерий нормирует среднее квадратическое значение амплитуды вибрации в октавных полосах частот, второй – тренд амплитуды вибрации по общему уровню. В качестве примера рассмотрены нормирование и мониторинг вибрации мельниц. Выявлена необходимость разделения по конструктивному признаку на две группы. Численно определены границы зон и тренда вибрации мельниц. Вибрационное состояние оценивается по четырем критериям: хорошо; удовлетворительно; необходимо улучшение и недопустимо. После чего принимается решение о возможном ограничении формы функционирования оборудования (предупреждение или останов). Внедрение норм и мониторинга вибрации оборудования ускорит переход к ремонтам по техническому состоянию. Методы нормирования и мониторинга вибрации технологического оборудования могут быть применены в других отраслях промышленности.
GOST 26493–85 regulates parameters of vibration of equipment of pulp-and-paper manufactures. However this standard is obsolete, does not take into account modern designs of the process equipment and requirement of new state and international standards. In article attempt of normalization and monitoring of vibration of the process equipment is made in view of modern requirements. It is established two criteria of an estimation of vibrating condition of equipment. The ﬁ rst criterion normalizes average quadratic value of amplitude of vibration in octave strips of frequencies, on second – trend of amplitude of vibration on the general level. As an example normalization and monitoring of vibration of mills is considered. Necessity of division to constructive attribute on two groups is revealed. Numerical borders of zones and trend of vibration of mills are determined. The vibrating condition is estimated by four criteria: well; satisfactory; improvement is necessary and is inadmissible. Then it is made decision on possible restriction of the form of functioning of the equipment (the prevention or stop). Introduction of norms and monitoring of vibration of the equipment will speed up transition to repairs on a technical condition. Methods of normalization and monitoring of vibration of the process equipment can be applied in other industries.

Published: January 2023

Рассмотрены различные варианты организации рубок ухода при разрубке лент, недосягаемых для манипулятора харвестера с пасечных волоков, при широкопасечной технологии слабой интенсивности с применением бензомоторной пилы и мини-трактора. Предложены три альтернативных варианта организации работ. Первый, при котором один рабочий выполняет все необходимые операции бензомоторной пилой, а второй, управляя мини-трактором, осуществляет подбор лесоматериалов, их погрузку и подтрелевку к пасечному волоку. Второй, предполагающий выполнение одним рабочим всего комплекса работ с использованием бензомоторной пилы и мини-трактора поочередно в необходимой последовательности при работе с каждым вырубаемым деревом. Третий, при котором рабочие выполняют операции совместно, помогая друг другу. В качестве оценочных критериев рассмотрены комплексная выработка, риски повреждения компонентов формируемого древостоя и снижение нагрузки на отдельные группы мышц рабочего за счет исключения однообразных и монотонных движений. Установлено, что снижение комплексной выработки в результате снижения коэффициента использования оборудования при выполнении всего комплекса операций с применением бензомоторной пилы и мини-трактора одним рабочим частично компенсируется за счет сокращения затрат времени на переходы между деревьями. Рекомендованы варианты организации работ для рубок очень слабой и слабой интенсивности, также для вырубки семенных деревьев, выполнивших свои функции.
Various options for organizing thinning cuttings when cutting strips inaccessible to the harvester manipulator from apiary trails with wide apiary technology of low intensity using a gasoline-powered saw and a mini tractor are considered. Three alternative options for the organization of work are proposed. The ﬁ rst, in which one worker performs all the necessary operations with a gasoline-powered saw, and the second, driving a mini-tractor, selects timber, loads them and skids to the apiary portage. The second one involves the execution of the entire complex of works by one worker using a gasoline-powered saw and a mini tractor in turn in the required sequence when working with each cut down tree. The third is in which workers perform operations jointly, helping each other. As evaluation criteria, complex development, risks of damage to the components of the formed forest stand and reduction of the load on individual muscle groups of the worker due to the exclusion of monotonous and monotonous movements are considered. It has been established that the decrease in integrated output, as a result of a decrease in the equipment utilization rate, when performing the entire range of operations using a gasoline-powered saw and a mini tractor by one worker, is partially compensated by reducing the time spent on transitions between trees. Options for organizing work for felling of very low and low intensity, as well as for cutting down seed trees that have fulﬁ lled their functions, are recommended.

В работе проанализирована перспективность использования облепихи крушиновидной (Hippophal rhamnoides L.) при рекультивации нарушенных земель на территории Средне-Уральского таежного лесного района. На основании анализа литературных и ведомственных материалов, а также результатов натурных исследований авторов дана характеристика биологическим особенностям облепи- хи крушиновидной. Отмечается, что данный вид не только позволяет получить значительное количество недревесной продукции леса, но и закрепляет нарушенные земли откосов и отвалов, предотвращая тем самым ветровую и водную эрозию. Облепиха способствует ускоренному формированию почвы на нару- шенных землях. Растения облепихи крушиновидной прекрасно себя чувствуют на большинстве видов нарушенных земель, в частности на золоотвалах, дражных отвалах, карьерах добычи строительных материалов и т. д. В то же время, рекомендуя облепиху крушиновидную для проведения рекультивационных работ, необходимо перед созданием лесных культур изучить химический состав субстратов во избежание накопления в плодах облепихи тяжелых металлов и других вредных для человека и животных веществ.
The article deals with the prospects of sea buckthorn (Hippophal rhamnoides L.) in reclamation of disturbed lands on the territory of the middle Ural Taiga Forest district. Basing on the analysis of literary and departmental materials as well as the results of ﬁ lled studies of the authors, the characteristics of sea buckthorn are given. It is noted that this species not only allows to obtain a signiﬁ cant amount of non-woody forest products, but also ﬁ xes the disturbed slopes and dumps, thereby preventing wind and water erosion. Sea buckthorn contributes to the accelerated formation of soil on disturbed lands. Sea buckthorn plants feel greatly on most types of disturbed lands, in particular ash dumps, dredging dumps, quarries of balding materials mining and so on at the same time, when recommending sea buckthorn for land reclamation it is necessary to study the chemical composition of substrate before creating forest plantations in order to avoid the accumulation of heavy metals and other substances harmful to humans and animals in sea buckthorn fruits.

Les nouveaux enseignants de la formation professionnelle : quelles sont les sources de leur sentiment d’efficacité personnelle ?
Authors: Gagnon Nathalie , Fournier Dubé Naomie 
Published: January 2023

Si, tout comme leurs homologues des secteurs primaire et secondaire, les enseignants de la formation professionnelle (FP) font face à d’importants défis lors de l’entrée dans la profession, leur parcours atypique d’insertion professionnelle, souvent doublé d’une absence de formation en pédagogie, pose des enjeux particuliers à leur vie professionnelle. Cette recherche s’est intéressée à leur sentiment d’efficacité personnelle (SEP), facette encore inexplorée, pourtant pertinente dans l’étude du développement de leurs compétences en enseignement. Grâce à des entretiens semi-dirigés réalisés auprès de 21 enseignants de la FP du Québec, cette recherche a permis d’identifier, à partir de leurs expériences, les sources les plus déterminantes de leur SEP. Les résultats démontrent que les expériences actives de maîtrise, particulièrement les expériences professionnelles liées au métier enseigné, semblent la source ayant le plus d’influence sur les croyances d’efficacité des participants.

Introduction: There is a lack of research on the impact of the transition of pharmaceutical care service from Ministry of Health (MOH) primary healthcare centers (PHCs) to community pharmacies (Wasfaty service) in Saudi Arabia. This study explored the Saudi community’s perception toward the transition of pharmaceutical care service. Community needs and expectations from the Wasfaty service were assessed, and its experience, concerns, and limitations were evaluated.Methods: Qualitative, in-depth, semistructured interviews of Saudi community members who visited community pharmacies with electronic prescriptions from MOH PHCs were conducted. The data obtained from participants were thematically organized and analyzed using NVivo software.Results: Seven themes related to the new Wasfaty service were identified and divided into three categories: perception toward the transition in pharmaceutical care, experience with the Wasfaty service, and concerns about limitations of the Wasfaty service. The Saudi community was generally satisfied with the new Wasfaty service and highlighted its benefits compared to PHCs pharmacies. These include: easier access, time flexibility, lower crowds, better communication with pharmacists, better medication education, better medication availability, better control over dispensing, and easier refills. However, the community complained about the lack of privacy in community pharmacies, the lack of female pharmacists, and the low number of Saudi pharmacists. They also were concerned about the number and location of community pharmacies featuring the Wasfaty service, some technical issues, and the lack of labels on medications (i.e., receiving no instructions about medication storage).Conclusions: The Saudi community showed its need for the transition in pharmaceutical care services.

A smart home is a combination of technology and services in the home environment that aims to increase the efficiency, comfort and safety of its residents. This smart home is controlled by Outseal PLC which communicates locally using RS485 with Haiwell SCADA HMI. Apart from controlling and monitoring through the Haiwell SCADA HMI[1], you can do it via a smartphone by downloading the Haiwell Cloud app in the Playstore. When the light is turned on via the Haiwell Scada HMI or using a Smartphone, the buttons on the Haiwell Scada HMI and the smartphone will turn on. And there is a delay of about 5 seconds, due to the time it takes to send information to Outseal PLC. The main objective of this journal is to introduce children to smart home by making a miniature smart home using SCADA, Outseal PLC Arduino Mega and other components. In this paper we use SCADA, the RS 485 control protocol to create this miniature smart home. It used to be that if the user wanted to control equipment, he had to move near the wall and control the sacred. This method is inconvenient for the elderly and disabled. therefore created a smart home that can be controlled and controlled remotely This miniature smart home uses solar panels as an energy source so when there is a blackout, this miniature can still be used[2].

Published: January 2023

The foundations of patient interactions are heavily dependent on facial expression, tone and inflection that help communicate treatment plans, obtain consent and break bad news. The expansion in use of face masks during the COVID-19 pandemic may adversely affect the quality of patient-clinician interaction and service provision. ##OBJECTIVES: To assess the impact of face masks on the experience of dental staff and patients at Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust. ##METHODS: A survey was developed using a combination of validated psychometric and demographic questions. The survey was administered to 166 dental staff and 57 patients. Data was electronically analysed. Qualitative data was thematically analysed. ##RESULTS: Themes identified included: clinical; physical effects; psychological; pre-existing communication difficulties; communication barriers; and accessibility to dental services. Sixty-three percent (32/57) of patients noted that PPE affected their communication and interaction. Over 70% (119/164) of dental staff reported repetition during consultations. ##CONCLUSION: This study highlights the positive and adverse physical and psychological impacts of facemasks on healthcare professionals and patients. Alternative solutions to mitigate the negative impact of face masks on communication include the use of virtual and visual aids. Furthermore, the implementation of wellbeing and support resources can aid in the challenges presented to healthcare teams.
Diagnostic Pathway of Head & Neck Cancer Patients in Ireland: Audit of patterns of first attendance 1983-2019.
Authors: O'Sullivan Eleanor , MacCarthy Denise 
Published: January 2023

##Objectives: This audit explores patterns of HNC patient presentation in primary care in Ireland over four decades and reflects on the possible impact of a 10-year national HNC awareness campaign. ##Materials and Methods: Trends in patient presentation and diagnosis are presented for 920 HNC patients across three time periods: 1983-1990, 2010 and 2018-2019. Descriptive analysis was undertaken using SPSS-v27 on basic demographic details, tumour-related details and primary care referral patterns. ##Results: Patients were generally male (71%), aged 54+ (71%), and 84% were diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Larynx, tongue and tonsil were the most common sub-sites. General Medical Practitioners (GPs) were the first healthcare contact for 75% cases, with only13% referred by General Dental Practitioners (GDPs). This pattern remained consistent across four decades. GDP role was higher for tongue, floor of mouth and intra-oral tumours (30-47%), with some increase seen in recent years. While symptomology varied by site, symptom burden remained high across the decades with 99.9% exhibiting 1+ NICE ‘red flag signs’ of HNC, suggesting considerable diagnostic delay, despite a 10-year national campaign to raise public and professional awareness. ##Conclusions: This audit highlights the role of GPs in HNC diagnosis, but reveals sub-optimal use of the dental pathway. The high symptom burden reported suggests considerable diagnostic delay. Increased and sustained efforts are required to raise public and professional awareness, encourage regular dental attendance, upskill HCP in opportunistic screening and ensure appropriate responses to symptomatic patients.
