Authors: Rayati Dini Jamia 
Published: February 2023

Chemical control method of blister blight disease (Exobasidium vexans Massee) on tea could inflict various negative impacts. In order to obtain an environmentally sound control method of blister blight disease, a field trial has been conducted to know the effectiveness of various non-chemical control methods on blister blight disease. The trial was carried out at Ciliwung Tea Plantation (1.400 m asl), Bogor, West Java, designed in a randomized complete block, with eight treatments and three replications. The treatments tested comprised: the application of an antagonistic fungus (Verticillium sp.) on two level of doses, 2 and 3 kg/ha; the application of nutrient (mollases 2% + urea 1%); the application of the combination of the antagonistic fungus and nutrient (Verticillium sp. 2 kg/ha + mollases 2% + urea 1%); the application of compost tea with and without aeration system; the application of copper-chemical fungicide as standard treatment; and control. All of the treatments were applied by spraying on tea bushes infected by blister blight disease, and the parameter observed was blister blight disease intensity, which was formulated in percentage of disease intensity index (DII). The results showed that in heavy-attack condition (DII higher than 50%), only the treatments of compost tea application which were effective in suppressing the intensity of blister blight disease. Meanwhile, other treatments of non-chemical control methods could not suppress the disease intensity, even the copper-chemical fungicide as a standard treatment was no longer effective too.Â The results also showed that the use of aeration system in making compost tea could increase the effectiveness of compost tea in controlling blister blight disease. The effectiveness level of aerated compost tea (42.9%) was higher than non-aerated compost tea (29.5%).

Published: February 2023

OBJECTIVE: Study modern approaches to projection and differentiated assessment of cardiovascular risks with extracardiac surgical interventions.MATERIALS AND METHODS: The articles from scientometric database RSCI, PubMed and Scopus for 2005–2022 are analyzed. In total, 39 literary sources were selected; not less than 70% of which were published over the past 5 years. The works, published more than 5 years ago, were allowed to include in the literature review only in case if they were primary sources and highly informative. RESULTS: To predict perioperative risk there is currently a range of general validated scales that help to define patients with a high risk of death and development of complications. These algorithms were developed based on multivariate statistical analysis of a large number of studies and reflect the links between clinical, laboratory and instrumental indicators with perioperative cardiovascular risk and mortality.DISCUSSION: Nowadays there is no opportunity to predict the risk of developing cardiovascular complications and death after surgical intervention with 100% probability. The majority of existing indices and scales has their drawbacks, but complement each other, and their use may significantly help in the decision-making process on patient management tactics. However, data acquired through these means should be considered and taken into account only in the general context of diagnostic process along with conventional diagnostic methods.CONCLUSION: The assessment of patient’s medical status and cardiovascular risk is one of the major tasks in preoperative preparation, which solution requires improvement and standardization of step-by-step algorithms.

Published: February 2023

OBJECTIVE: To assess the symptom severity and formation of professional burnout syndrome (PBS) in naval experts of different age groups.MATERIALS AND METHODS: 849 naval experts, aged 25–45 were examined. Based on generally accepted methods, there was the evaluation of professional burnout and stress, considering clinical-psychophysiological features of the respondents with a different severity level of symptom manifestation. Moreover, to assess the dynamics of professional burnout in naval experts, performing military service as part of Arctic division, subgroups by age were identified out of the total sample (N=127): the group of persons, performing military service as part of Arctic division aged 25–30 included 21 people (n1=21), aged 31–40–72 people (n2=72), aged 41–45–34 people (n3=34). Statistics: Statistic analysis of the data was conducted using the application package «STATISTICA 6.0» and spreadsheet Microsoft Excel-2010.RESULTS: The formation nature of PB syndrome in naval experts of different age showed that the persons, performing military service as part of Arctic division, aged 25–30, experienced a high rate of stress phase (68,1±7,9 points), indicating its formation, and 39,8±7,5 points in the resistance phase, indicating the process of this phase formation; yet there were normative values (28,4±5,1 points) on the exhaustion phase in this group of people. The naval experts, performing military service as part of Arctic division, aged 31–40, experienced a high rate of stress phase (72,8±7,9 points) and resistance phase (73,4±11,5 points), indicating their formation in the examined individuals; at the same time the indicators on the exhaustion phase did not overcome the normative values of 26,7±7,2 points. The naval experts, performing military service as part of Arctic division, aged 41–45, experienced average normative values on stress phase (25,9±3,8 points), resistance phase (23,9±3,9 points); yet there was formation of exhaustion phase (39,1±6,9 points).DISCUSSION: The analysis allowed to reveal age-sensitive formation of professional burnout syndrome. It is shown that individual manifestations of the syndrome form clear modal symptoms among different age groups. The specifics of neuropsychic disorders in naval experts of different age groups were identified.CONCLUSION: The data analysis allowed to conclude that prevention of PBS formation and its successful overcoming could largely be achieved by naval experts’ implementation of optimal strategies for coping with stress and using constructive and mature psychological defenses in their behavior.

Published: February 2023

OBJECTIVE: Based on the data of domestic and foreign literature, as well as our own research, to evaluate the possibility of treating patients with extensive jaw cysts, including those undergoing military service in seafarers, using various surgical methods.MATERIALS AND METHODS: A review of the literature presented in domestic and foreign scientometric databases over the past 10 years was made. 15 domestic and 37 foreign scientific papers from the PubMed international medical library, the CyberLeninka electronic library and the elibrary medical electronic portal were analyzed. Publications were studied for the following keywords: odontogenic cysts of the jaws, cystectomy, cystotomy, marsupialization, decompression drainage, guided bone regeneration, keratocysts.RESULTS: During the study of specialized literature over the past 10 years, it was revealed that in the context of the treatment of extensive jaw cysts, the description of the cystectomy operation was most common: in 65.0% of domestic and 50.0% of foreign literature sources. Cystotomy was found in 25.0% and 33.3% among domestic and foreign sources. The method of marsupialization was used less often only in 10.0% in domestic literature and in 17.7% in foreign literature.DISCUSSION: Analysis of literature sources of domestic and foreign databases has demonstrated the most frequent use of cystotomy and cystectomy in the treatment of extensive jaw cysts and extremely rare use of decompression drainage, despite the significant advantages of using the marsupialization method, namely minimizing the likelihood of damage to neighboring anatomical structures, preventing subsequent possible deformation of the jaws, reducing the risk of recurrence of jaw cysts, as well as the development of postoperative and intraoperative complications compared with cystotomy and cystectomy.CONCLUSION: Based on the review of the literature and our own research, this article examines the main options for surgical treatment, and also assesses the possibility of using decompression drainage to provide emergency care in a campaign and treat military personnel with extensive cavity formations of the jaws.

Authors: Serikov A. A. , Iordanishvili A. K. 
Published: February 2023

INTRODUCTION: For seafarers are characteristic a number of ecopathic factors that might provoke the emergence and progression of periodontal disease. Pre-voyage oral rehabilitation is an important component, aimed at timely detection, treatment and recurrence prevention of periodontal disease on long voyage.OBJECTIVES: The study focused on detecting periodontal disease among seafarers, determining the cause, contributing to its emergence and progression, assessment of preventive health care measures and treatment effectiveness on long voyage.MATERIALS AND METHODS: There was the study of periodontal tissues, occurrence and intensity of the periodontal pathology course, also oral hygiene and conditions of items for individual dental care among 169 men, aged 22–52 on long voyage. The first group included 57 seamen, who were part of the crew. The second group included 112 people, who were studying and a long voyage was the first one for them. While detecting periodontal pathology, treatment was carried out, and after its completion there were relapse-prevention measures, that were consistent given the people on the ship on long voyage. Informed consent was obtained from each patient. The study was approved by the Ethics Committee of the International Academy of Ecological Science, Human and Nature Security (protocol № 3 of 10.05.2022). Statistics. Parametric Student’s criterion under normal distribution law and Mann-Whitney non-parametric criterion as distinct from normal indicator distribution were used for the evaluation of reliability of differences compared averages.RESULTS: Found that pre-voyage rehabilitation of the oral cavity among seafarers is not always properly carried out as there were 26,3–31,3% cases of periodontal disease, identified on long voyage. Despite adequate individual oral hygiene in 24,6–27,7% seafarers, there were inappropriate oral care items that provoked inadequate individual oral hygiene.DISCUSSION: The most frequent kinds of periodontal disease were catarrhal gingivitis and localized periodontitis of mild severity. Issues of periodontal disease treatment in seafarers on long voyage are being discussed.CONCLUSION: To improve dental health in seafarers, it is necessary to treat periodontal diseases before voyage. On long voyage seamen should use only the items, habitable for individual oral hygiene, and make their timely replacement. In all cases of periodontal disease treatment it was possible to achieve directly good therapeutic results and to avoid the relapse of inflammatory periodontal pathology, typical for seafarers, during 9-month voyage.

Measurement of maximum oxygen consumption at tissue level (VO2 max) using cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) is considered the gold standard in evaluating physiological fitness of an athlete. No such testing had been conducted on Sri Lankan national level rowers up to date. With this background the aim of this study was to evaluate the physiological profile of national rowers of Sri Lanka to assess the state of their cardiopulmonary fitness.
Anthropometrical and physiological profiles were created for 22 rowers (10 males and 11 females). The Shapiro-Wilcoxon test was used to check the normal distribution. Means and standard deviations of the parameters were calculated. A P value less than 0.05 was considered to be statistically significant.
Twenty rowers achieved more than 90% of their predicted HR and one achieved a HR of more than 85% indicating a maximum effort by the entire group. The average work rate achieved by oarsmen were 231 W, which is an average of 82% of the predicted. The average HR achieved was 187 BPM, which corresponds to an achievement of 96% of the predicted. The average respiratory exchange ratio achieved by oarsmen were 0.96, an indication of anaerobic glycolysis at peak exercise. Oarswomen achieved a peak workload of 235 which is slightly more than oarsmen. This is an achievement of 81% of the predicted. The group average HR achieved by oarswomen was 95 BPM, which is an achievement of 95% of the predicted. The group average RER was 0.84 which indicates a mixture of aerobic and anaerobic glycolysis at peak exercise.
The VO2 values obtained by Sri Lankan rowers are low compared to international standards. Despite the overall lower VO2 max obtained by male rowers, their VO2 at AT was at a higher percentage of their peak VO2, indicating better cardiovascular fitness. Cardiovascular exercise can be improved to achieve a higher VO2 with a lower HR through threshold training in order to improve performance and uplift the stranded of rowing in Sri Lanka.

Abstract
In precision agriculture, it is possible to use satellite monitoring of fields. Satellite monitoring systems allow you to get free images with a resolution of up to 10 m per pixel, which is sufficient to determine the state of vegetation of plants on such indicators as the normalized vegetation index NDVI. However, the NDVI indicator already indicates the existing problems of correction which will not help to restore the lost yield of crops, but only helps to prevent further losses. Using the NDSI soil salinity index, it is possible to determine the difference in its properties from spectral images. Also, you can study the vegetation of plants in the early stages of their development, in fact immediately after germination. Soil-adjusted vegetation index, such as MSAVI, is used for this purpose. Studies indicate the possibility of using NDSI and MSAVI indicators for early diagnosis of confirmed crops NDVI and NDRE (indicating chlorophyll activity in plants) at later stages of their development. Studies conducted on soybean, spring barley and maize crops sown in the spring of 2021 indicate a correspondence between raster field maps show-ing the above indices made from March to July. Statistical analysis of raster images of field maps using specialized software showed a correlation between NDSI and MSAVI in March and May, respectively, with NDVI and NDRE indexes in June and July. Therefore, it is possible to judge the expediency of using NDSI and MSAVI indicators for early diagnosis of possible problems with plant vegetation, as well as for the creation of maps of differential fertilization.

Authors: Pehlivan Gamze Fahriye 
Published: February 2023

Abstract
Analysis of cultural heritage by non-destructive testing methods allows conducting an examination of the building while preserving its authenticity and integrity, as well as its historical and artistic values. As the material of this study, the Sivas Congress Museum, which witnessed a very important event in the history of the country, was discussed. The aim of the study is to determine the stone type, deterioration, hardness, and strength of the building and thus generate an idea about the quality of architectural practices in the 19th century. In addition, it aims to create a scientific basis for conservation measures and restoration works to be carried out in the following years and to determine whether there is any difference between the stone material used in the main building and the stone of the building annexed later on. At the end of the study, it was concluded that the poor economic conditions of the country have affected the quality of the building material, the stones – soft and low-strength limestone – have been exposed to atmospheric pollution and deteriorated. In addition, although one of the stones that had undergone black crusting was cleaned, it was found that mechanical cleaning was insufficient to eliminate the pollution.

Published: February 2023

Abstract
Epoxy resins are widely used polymers from which a variety of products are derived and applied in many industries. Most epoxy resins are still obtained from mainly fossil feedstocks, such as epichlorohydrin and bisphenol A, which are also highly toxic. Additionally, fossil derived epoxy resin products are forming non-biodegradable waste at their end of life. Recently the number of studies aiming to find solutions and other raw materials for the replacement of fossil derived epoxy resins has increased, showing that bio-based epoxy resins are a promising alternative. An interesting alternative raw material for bio-based epoxy resins is epoxides derived from microorganisms, such as epoxidized microbial oil. This review article explores and compares the latest solutions for the use of microbial oils in the production of bio-based epoxides, outlines the prospects for their future use and points out the shortcomings of these solutions.
