BIOSUGGESTIVE THERAPY AS AN EFFECTIVE METHOD FOR CORRECTION AND TREATMENT OF PSYCHOSOMATIC DISORDERS
Authors: Koshyrets Viktor , Shkarlatiuk Kateryna 
Published: December 2022

The purpose of the article is to describe and analyze the effectiveness of Oleksandr Strazhnyi's biosuggestive therapy, the author's method for the correction and treatment of psychosomatic disorders.
Methods. The study examines the method of biosuggestive therapy (MBST) - aimed to remove psychosomatic disorders and restore psychological comfort and well-being of a personality. It includes a combination of verbal and non-verbal suggestion techniques in a light trance state. The method involves the implementation of the following techniques: individual conversation, group conversation (in case of group therapy) and conducting a biosuggestive session.
Results. MBST has proven to be one of the most effective psychotherapeutic tools for correcting health disorders using a session consisting of verbal and non-verbal suggestive structures. In the course of the session, the painful nervous processes responsible for the perception of poor health fade away and the neural connections containing the image of well-being are strengthened. As a result, the body's hidden reserves are activated and self-regulation processes are launched.
In this way, biosuggestive psychotherapy begins to work according to the laws of a conditioned reflex, that is, a habitual action in response to one or another sensory stimulus. A reflex is fixed with each repeated session and is attached in a long-term memory. Over time, the suggestive blocks voiced by a psychotherapist reprogram a human body to new positive settings. MBST sessions relieve heightened sensitivity to emotional and physical pain.
Conclusions. The technique of micro-breaks lies in the basis of biosuggestive psychotherapy. The sudden break of the pattern lies in the fact that a psychotherapist begins the conversation without adjustment, immediately by going beyond the pattern. For this, you can use a positive statement, a positive emotion etc. The meaning of a psychologist's work is to switch sharply a person's attention from emotional trauma, mental or physical pain, to the good, that is, a negative factor to a positive one. The practice of combining the MBST sessions with other therapeutic techniques is also used.

Background. The formation of biofilm structures by microorganisms living in the hospital environment is a serious medical problem. To conduct correct experimental studies, it is necessary to know the speed and efficiency of biofilm formation by clinically significant species of opportunistic bacteria. Aim: to study the kinetics of plankton culture growth and the rate of biofilm formation by clinically significant pathogens of infections associated with medical care to substantiate the methodology of further research. Materials and methods. The strains from the working collection of the Laboratory for Microbiome and Microecology of the Scientific Сentre for Family Health and Human Reproduction Problems were used. Experiments were carried out with conditionally pathogenic microorganisms of the Enterobacteriaceae family and non-fermenting gram-negative bacteria. The optical density was measured, the total microbial number of the cell suspension was determined, and the morphological structure of the biofilm was evaluated using a light microscope on sterile cover glasses for thespecies Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Serratia marcescens. Results. The duration of the lag phase of the kinetic curve of cell growth varied in isolates of S. marcescens, P. aeruginosa and K. pneumoniae from 1 to 4 and 6 hours of cultivation, respectively. Despite this, the exponential growth phase was the same for all tested isolates and amounted to 4 hours. Thus, isolates of clinically significant species entered the stationary growth phase after 5–10 hours of cultivation and were characterized as fast-growing. On abiotic surfaces, after 8 hours of incubation of the tested cultures, the initial stages of the formation of biofilm structures were observed, after 20 hours the formed multilayer biofilm was visualized, after 24 hours succession occurred, new single cells were attached to the place of the detached structures. Conclusion. The data obtained on the duration of the main stages of growth kinetics compared with the visualization of the formation of biofilm structures on abiotic surfaces should be taken into account when studying the effects of disinfectants, antiseptics and antibacterial drugs on planktonic cells and biofilm associations of clinically significant opportunistic microorganisms.

Authors: Liapunova N. A. , Khasnatinov M. A. , Danchinova G. A. 
Published: December 2022

Background. In spring and summer, the population of the Baikal region regularly comes into contact with the pathogens transmitted through the bites of ixodid ticks. In the Center for Diagnosis and Prevention of Tick-Borne Infections (Irkutsk, Russian Federation), we annually detect anaplasmas of the Anaplasma phagocytophilum species, as well as Ehrlichia chaffeensis/E. muris in both ixodid ticks and blood samples from people who have been bitten by ticks. At the same time, there are no data in open sources on the incidence of human granulocytic anaplasmosis and human monocytic ehrlichiosis in the Baikal region. Currently, there is very little information on the studies of intensity of the immune response to anaplasmas and ehrlichia in people living in the surveyed area, although this information is critical for assessing the frequency of contacts and the risk of infection of people in a territory endemic for tick-borne infections. The aim. To update information on the presence and prevalence of specific immunoglobulins M and G to A. phagocytophilum and Ehrlichia sp. among the population of the Irkutsk Region affected by tick bites. Materials and methods. In total, 204 samples of blood serum from the residents of the Irkutsk Region who were registered to be bitten by ticks were analyzed for the presence of IgM and IgG to human monocytic ehrlichiosis and human granulocytic anaplasmosis agents. Results. IgG to A. phagocytophilum were found in 9 samples, IgG to E. chaffeensis/E. muris – in 1 sample; no IgM to both pathogens were found in any sample. Conclusions. The results obtained indicate regular infection of the population with anaplasmas and ehrlichia which is a testifies to the existence of active natural foci of human monocytic ehrlichiosis and human granulocytic anaplasmosis in the Baikal region. To clarify the real epidemic role of these infections, a detailed study of the immune status is required both among healthy individuals and among patients with symptoms of an infectious disease.

The issues of psychological adaptation of a person to the extreme conditions of the Arctic continue to be relevant at the present time. Dynamic monitoring of human functional states is an effective technology that allows timely identification of the level of human adaptation to the conditions of the North and implementation of preventive measures to maintain health in extreme working conditions. The aim of the study is to identify and describe the relationship of individual-personal qualities and the dynamics of the functional states of the participants of the marine Arctic expedition. Methods. Psychophysiological testing using the device UPFT-1/30-«Psychophysiolog» (variational cardiointervalometry, complex visual-motor reaction); color preference test (M. Luscher, adapted by L. N. Sobchik) with calculation of interpretation coefficients by G. A. Aminev; Five-factor personality questionnaire (R. McCrae and P. Costa, adapted by A. B. Khromov); statistical methods: descriptive statistics, frequency analysis, correlation analysis using Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient. The study was conducted daily in the morning and evening for 20 days on the research vessel Mikhail Somov in June 2021. The study involved 39 people, including participants in the scientific and educational expeditionary project “Arctic Floating University–2021”. Results. The dynamics of psychophysiological and projective psychological parameters of the functional states of the expedition members as a whole is characterized by favorable levels, which indicates their adaptation to the conditions of high latitudes. According to the results of the correlation analysis, statistically significant relationships were revealed between the dynamics of functional states and such individual-personal qualities as: extraversion − introversion and attachment − separation. Conclusion. The results of the study are consistent with the data of previous expeditions of the “Arctic floating university” and other polar expeditions. The revealed interrelations of functional states with different personality characteristics of the participants testify in favor of the complex nature of the study using different groups of diagnostic methods.
The effect of endomorphins-1, -2 on the production of reactive oxygen species and the absorption activity of innate immunity cells <i>in vitro</i> and <i>in vivo</i>

Published: December 2022

Background. A high percentage of people in the world suffer from acute or chronic pain, the treatment of which is based on the introduction of morphine and its derivatives, agonists of the µ-opioid receptors, leading to the development of addiction in patients. An urgent task is to study the properties of endogenous opioid peptides, which are capable of showing not only pronounced analgesic activity, but also have a number of other effects on the periphery, while having a much smaller spectrum of side effects. Of particular interest are the immunomodulatory effects of peptide agonists of µ-receptors – endomorphins, tetrapeptides, the effects of which are not described in detail in the literature. Due to their structure and properties, endorphins can be considered as potential substitutes for low-molecular-weight opiates. The aim. To investigate the effect of endorphins-1,2 on the synthesis of oxygen radicals and the absorption activity of innate immunity cells in vitro, in vivo. Materials and methods. The object of the in vitro study is peripheral venous blood leukocytes from donors aged 22–40 years; the object of the in vivo study is peritoneal flush cells of Swiss white male mice. Oxygen-dependent microbicidal activity was evaluated using a luminol-dependent chemiluminescence reaction. Phagocytic activity was evaluated by flow cytometry. Results. It has been found that endomorphins inhibited spontaneous production of reactive oxygen species in vitro, in vivo. Endomorphin-2 reduced the intensity of respiratory explosion in stimulated cultures of peritoneal macrophages. Blockade of opiate receptors with naloxone in vitro, in vivo did not cancel the effects of endomorphins. Both peptides and naloxone had no effect on the phagocytic activity of macrophages of the peritoneal cavity of mice in vivo, but in vitro endomorphins led to an increase in the percentage of phagocytosis of peripheral blood leukocytes. Conclusions. The effects of endomorphins in vitro, in vivo are predominantly depressive.

Background. Disruption of the energy balance of erythrocytes under conditions of a decrease in the glycolysis level can cause a change in the ion permeability of their membrane. The aim. To study Ca2+-dependent potassium permeability of the erythrocytes membrane in the presence of SH group modifiers under conditions of glucose deficiency. Materials and methods. The study used precipitated erythrocytes obtained from the blood of 20 male Wistar rats. The change in the Ca2+-dependent potassium conductivity of the erythrocyte membrane was determined using the potentiometric method. The A23187-and redox-induced hyperpolarization responses of erythrocytes were evaluated. Results. Glucose deficiency in the medium, as well as the use of the glycolysis inhibitor 2-deoxyglucose, led to an increase in the amplitude of A23187-stimulated membrane hyperpolarization by the opening of the Gardos channels. At the same time, the redox-dependent hyperpolarization of the erythrocyte membrane turned out to be insensitive to a decrease in the glucose content in the medium and to the glycolysis inhibition. The effects of SH group modifiers in the normal incubation medium and under glucose deficiency turned out to be multidirectional and depended on the method of stimulation of Gardos channels. Conclusion. The results obtained indicate that metabolic disorders in erythrocytes under conditions of glucose deficiency lead to a change in the mechanisms of control of Gardos channels with the participation of SH groups of the proteins of these channels or their regulatory proteins.

The aim. To assess the general condition, laboratory parameters, quality of life of women of post-reproductive age after asymptomatic COVID-19 and 12 months after moderate COVID-19. Material and methods. We examined 47 women (45–69 years old), divided into 3 groups: those who did not have COVID-19, not vaccinated (group 1 – control; n = 15); women 12 months after moderate COVID-19, accompanied by pneumonia (group 2; n = 19); women with IgG in their blood who deny any symptoms of COVID-19 (group 3; n = 13). Results and discussion. An assessment of the general condition of women in post-reproductive age was carried out. In women 12 months after COVID-19 we found a lower level of total bilirubin compared to the group with asymptomatic COVID-19 (p = 0.004). An increase in thrombin time was determined in the groups of patients with symptomatic (p = 0.014) and asymptomatic (p = 0.025) COVID-19 course compared with the control group. Patients with asymptomatic COVID-19 course had a higher level of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol compared with the control group (p = 0.016) and the group 2 (p = 0.006). Compared with the control group, the group 2 had lower scores for general health (p = 0.006), vital activity (p = 0.013), general physical well-being (p = 0.039), physical functioning (p = 0.046); and the group 3 had higher scores in role functioning due to physical condition (p = 0.049). When comparing groups 2 and 3, lower scores in the group of women who recovered from the moderate COVID-19 were found in physical functioning (p = 0.002), pain intensity (p = 0.034), role functioning due to physical condition (p = 0.049), general health (p = 0.003), vital activity (p = 0.018), general physical well-being (p = 0.001). Conclusion. 12 months after moderate COVID-19, there is a pronounced deterioration in physical and emotional health; and in asymptomatic patients, better protective functions of an organism can be assumed.
Trees in Taiwanese Folklore
Authors: Yang Yujun 
Published: December 2022

In Taiwanese folklore, the worship of immortal trees has taken various forms. Often such practices are closely related to the worship of the earth god. In other cases, what is called Dashugong, literally ‘great tree god’, acts as a child’s guardian figure: the health and reproduction of a living tree in an otherworldly setting parallel the health and posterity of a human being. Religious rituals associated with ancient tree worship continue today. Trees symbolise fertility in folk beliefs and in folk art, and the impact of ancient beliefs may be traced in horticultural practices, and in the retail sale of trees. The idea that gods reside in large trees persists, as does the belief that a tree spirit appears only when it – or the living tree – is confronted, wounded, or killed. Reacting to such violence, a tree spirit becomes vengeful and dangerous. Government agencies and environmentalists have alluded to this concept to promote conservation. When an old tree dies, people nowadays plant a sapling to replace it. The tree of life continues to be celebrated, no longer for its gigantic profile but as a symbol of renewal.

Published: December 2022

Mortar is used for bonding bricks, filling gaps in masonry, and as a plaster for strengthening and smoothing wall surfaces in finishing works. Poor quality of mortar can cause cracks in the walls which are identified after the building is completed. Assessment of a building is essential to determine its quality. Non-destructive testing is widely chosen because it will not directly affect the physical building condition. However, there still needs to achieve a good fit equation that can be used to estimate mortar quality using non-destructive testing. This research aimed to propose a formula to predict the mortar quality using an ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV) test with porosity and compressive strength in the mortar with limestone. Variations in adding the lime powder to the mortar mix are 20%, 30%, 40%, and 55%. It was divided into M, S, N, and O types. The mortar cubes were prepared based on ASTM C-1329 and ASTM C-270. The specimens were then evaluated with UPV, porosity, and compressive strength test using three samples for each test. Equations for the relationship between UPV and porosity and compressive strength can be derived from these tests. The results showed that the value of the ultrasonic pulse speed is directly proportional to the compressive strength of the mortar, which fits the equation y = 0.0542e0.0015x, and is inversely proportional to the porosity, showing the equation y = 108.57e-6E-04x. The results of this study can be used to assess the quality of new construction works and existing buildings.
Opposition as “A Mould on the Fatherland”: Hate Speech and Grassroots Telegram Propaganda in Belarus
Authors: Sulzhytski Ilya 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
After the August 2020 protests, citizens of Belarus saw unprecedented repression against government opponents, which has persisted for two years. One of the authorities’ methods has been aggressive hate propaganda in the official pro-government media and grassroots anonymous telegram channels. The anonymous Zheltye Slivy / Yellow Leaks telegram channel became the symbol of this propaganda. The channel’s main feature was its aggressive hate speech, which bordered on the incitement to genocide in its extreme versions. This article focuses on this channel’s rhetoric and semantic and discursive features. For this purpose, the article uses the methods of qualitative content analysis and natural language processing (word2vec). The article results reveal the existence of “hate vocabularies” in the channel’s rhetoric—sets of similar words to describe the opponents and enemies of the authorities in Belarus. The article’s main conclusion is that propaganda constructs the image of “anti-society”—a multidimensional imagined social formation with its hierarchy and institutions, which wages war with the authorities and citizens of Belarus.

Abstract
The Limits of Transformation relating to Sustainability. Pedagogical-Anthropological Perspectives in the Anthropocene
The global crisis has been emerging as an ecological and political, and more recently also as a pandemic one: It puts people into the difficulty of having to choose between competing images of humanity in their everyday actions. The refusal of the incorrigible to change their way of life towards increased sustainability raises the question of what future-oriented narratives can be developed for the necessary transformation of the status quo.
