There are no available data on the level of atrazine in drinking water from rural agricultural areas in Nigeria and its potential health implications. Here, we measured atrazine residue in 69 hand-dug wells (HDW), 40 boreholes (BH), and four major streams from the six communities (Ago-Iwoye, Ijebu-Igbo, Oru, Awa, Ilaporu, and Mamu) in Ijebu North Local Government Area, Southwest Nigeria. Values of atrazine obtained were further used for the evaluation of non-carcinogenic risk associated with ingestion and dermal contact in adults and children as well as reproductive toxicity evaluation. A total of 41 HDW, 22 BH, and the four streams showed varying concentrations of atrazine, which was higher in HDW than BH and stream. Ago-Iwoye recorded the highest concentration of 0.08 mg/L in its HDW while the lowest concentration of 0.01 mg/L was recorded in HDW from Oru. Although the Hazard Index (HI) values associated with ingestion and dermal contact for children were higher than in adults, the values were below the acceptable limit for all the communities. Significant (p&lt; 0.05) alterations in the oxidative stress parameters, reproductive hormones, sperm parameters, and mild testicular lesions were only observed in rats exposed to atrazine at 0.08 mg/L compared to control. But atrazine at 0.01, 0.03, and 0.04 mg/L triggered a defence mechanism capable of protecting the structural integrity of the testes and preventing reproductive dysfunction.

Relevance. The high incidence of chronic generalized periodontitis indicates the relevance of this disease and its social significance. Treatment of chronic generalized periodontitis requires an integrated approach and should include conservative and surgical methods and elements of dental system rehabilitation. Physiotherapy procedures, which affect tissue blood supply and increase local immunity, form an important component of the complex treatment of chronic generalized periodontitis. Choosing the most effective physiotherapy method is essential for the complex treatment of chronic generalized periodontitis.Materials and methods. The study examined and treated 104 patients with mild chronic generalized periodontitis. All patients agreed to participate in the study and signed informed voluntary consent. The treatment type determined the allocation of three groups (group 1 – periodontium exposure to d’Arsonval currents, group 2 – the combination of physiotherapy procedures, and the control group – rinsing with antiseptics). The study consisted of the following stages: initial examination, professional controlled oral hygiene, group-dependent course of treatment, follow-up immediately after the treatment, after 3 and 6 months. Each stage included an interview, clinical examination and evaluation of periodontal microcirculation using Doppler ultraso und.Results. The study revealed a positive effect of physiotherapy procedures on the periodontal microcirculation, i.e., a significant increase in linear and volumetric blood flow rates (linear blood flow velocity – 0.411 (0.393: 0.431; 0.315-0.436) cm/s; volumetric blood flow velocity – 0.024 (0.016: 0.021; 0.015-0.019) cm3/s compared with the data of the control group patients (linear blood flow velocity – 0.305 (0.291: 0.313; 0.203-0.326) cm/s; volumetric blood flow velocity – 0.012 (0.011: 0.015; 0.007-0.090) cm3/s.Conclusion. Physiotherapy procedures in chronic generalized periodontitis treatment allowed the achievement of not only the significant immediate result but also a prolonged re mission period.

Relevance. Diagnosis of oral mucosa diseases is very difficult. Heterogeneity of the oral mucosa disease manifestation often requires invasive diagnostic methods, which cause the pain syndrome. Timely and complete pain syndrome relief and the impact on all phases of the w ound healing process allow faster patient rehabilitation. The study aimed to examine the effect of Ketanov MD and Cifran CT on the wound process and the pain syndrome intensity after incisional and excisional biopsies to verify the oral mucosa pathology. Materials and methods. The study surveyed 30 people with oral mucosal diseases. The patients (30 subjects) formed two groups: excisional (10 people) and incisional biopsy (20 people). In these groups, we clinically evaluated the course of the wound process, the pain syndrome intensity, oedema phenomena, hyperemia, and the exudate presence. We analysed the quality of life of such patients using a validated Russian v ersion of the questionnaire.Results. On the 3rd day after the biopsy, on top of the generally accepted treatment of oral mucosal diseases and Ketorol MD and Cifran CT intake, the patients noted moderate aching and discomfort when talking and eating. After 14 days, all patients showed an improvement in qualitative and quantitative parameters, the absence of pain and the development of reinfection on therapy with non-steroidal anti-inf lammatory and antibacterial drugs.Conclusion. These drugs have a positive effect on the course of the phases of the wound process. They help reduce the pain response and contribute to faster patient rehabilitation af ter the biopsies in oral mucosal diseases.
How to Reduce High Cardiovascular Risk in Modern Conditions?

Published: September 2022

В статье приводится обзор современных рекомендаций Европейского общества кардиологов (ЕОК) 2021 года по сердечно-сосудистой (СС) профилактике. Современная концепция снижения СС риска направлена на контроль ключевых факторов риска, вносящих огромный вклад в СС заболеваемость (ССЗ) и смертность. Артериальная гипертензия (АГ) и гиперхолестеринемия (ГХС) в повседневной клинической практике являются наиболее значимыми модифицируемыми основными факторами риска (ФР). Поэтому их контроль как немедикаментозными, так и лекарственными методами крайне важен. Одним из важнейших современных принципов лечения АГ является достижение и поддержание целевого артериального давления (АД) посредством применения предпочтительных комбинаций основных лекарственных средств, преимущественно фиксированных. В медикаментозной коррекции ГХС ведущее значение придается использованию в первую очередь статинов, а при их недостаточном эффекте или непереносимости эзетимиба. Современной особенностью снижения СС риска у пациентов с сахарным диабетом (СД) является применение новых гипогликемических лекарственных средств с доказанной эффективностью в снижении СС риска.
The article provides an overview of the current recommendations of the European Society of Cardiology 2021 on cardiovascular prevention. The current concept of cardiovascular risk reduction aims to control the key risk factors that make a huge contribution to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Arterial hypertension and hypercholesterolemia in everyday clinical practice are the most significant modifiable major risk factors. Therefore, their control, both non-drug and medical methods, is extremely important. One of the most important modern principles for the treatment of hypertension is the achievement and maintenance of target blood pressure through the use of preferred combinations of essential drugs, mostly fixed doses. In the medical correction of hypercholesterolemia, the leading role is given to the use, first of all, of statins, and in case of their insufficient effect, or intolerance, ezetimibe. A modern feature of reducing cardiovascular risk in patients with diabetes mellitus is the use of new hypoglycemic drugs with proven efficacy in reducing cardiovascular risk.
CROSS-CULTURAL PECULIARITIES OF PROVENCE DAILY ROUTINE IN THE NOVEL"A YEAR IN PROVENCE" BY PETER MAYLE
Authors: Kovpik S. , Yelovska Yu. 
Published: September 2022

The article deals with the problem of cross-cultural analysis of the features of the Provence daily routine on the material of the novel "A Year in Provence" by P. Mayle. In modern literary discourse there is no clear and unambiguous definition of the concept of everyday life, so this problem is relevant to modern literary criticism. The peculiarities of perception of foreign everyday life are not only the sphere of intercultural communication, but also an interesting object of literary studies. The national comparative literature studies have shown the growing interest to the problem of investigating the features of literary interpretation of mentality and everyday practices in works of foreign literature, involving the methodology of cross-cultural analysis only in the last decade.
In his novel "A Year in Provence", P. Mayle creates a unique combination of a travel novel and a description of the Provence life through the interpretation of an emigrant who came there from England. The peculiarities of the daily routine of the locals contrast sharply with the cultures of the tourists who visit it. The cultural differences that are revealed in the everyday things of the characters vividly demonstrate specific features of their mentality and their national worldview.
An interesting depiction and constant commentary on traditional daily activities, food preferences, attitudes to time, work and people in comparison with the customs of other cultures allows the reader to form an unbiased attitude to the lifestyle of not only the French but also the English, Germans, Swiss and other nation representatives. The author draws attention to the strengths and weaknesses of the life of the Provence people. He also remains objective in presenting comparative characteristics of different spheres of life of the French and other cultures.

Abstract
The radiative recombination efficiency (RRE) of AlGaN quantum wells on epitaxially laterally overgrown AlN/sapphire templates was investigated by picosecond-laser–excited photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy under selective and non-selective excitation conditions. The PL efficiency, which was deduced by excitation-power-dependent PL measurements at low temperature (LT) and room temperature (RT), was unity at LT under both excitation conditions; However, at RT, the PL efficiency under non-selective excitation conditions was lower than that under selective excitation conditions. Time-resolved PL measurements revealed that, under non-selective excitation conditions, additional carriers are provided from the surrounding layers to the quantum-well layers, especially at LT. Therefore, at RT, the PL efficiency does not correspond to the RRE under non-selective excitation conditions. We propose a model to explain carrier dynamics under the two excitation conditions showing that the PL efficiency equals the RRE under selective excitation conditions.
Effectiveness of herbicides application on soybean
Authors: Kyrychok M. , Remeniuk S. 
Published: September 2022

Goal. To establish the effectiveness of the use of herbicides against weeds in soybean crops.
Methods. Field and laboratory.
Results. The main technologies for growing soybeans are based on the application of soil herbicides after sowing but before the appearance of crop seedlings. The main task of the research was to study the effectiveness of soil action and post-emergence herbicides on the destruction of weeds in soybean crops during the growing season. Establishing the specifics of the application of post-emergence herbicides makes it possible to reliably protect soybeans in case of impossibility or ineffective application of soil herbicides. Separate application of herbicides in smaller doses was used: Nabob, s.c. (bentazone, 480 g/l) 1.0 l/ha on the 4th day after sowing + 1.2 l/ha in the phase of 1—2 soybean leaves; Pari, s.c. (ima-zetapyr, 100 g/l) 0.3 l/ha on the 4th day after sowing + 0.4 l/ha in the phase of 1—2 soybean leaves; Pulsar 40, s.c. (imazamox, 40 g/l) 0.3 l/ha + 0.4 l/ha in the phase of 1—2 soybean leaves; Fabian, w.g. (imazethapyr, 450 g/kg + chlorimuron-ethyl, 150 g/kg) 0.03 kg/ha on the 4th day after sowing + 0.04 kg/ha in the phase of 1—2 soybean leaves; Harmony 75, w.g., (thifensu-lfuron-methyl, 750 g/kg) 0.003 kg/ha + surfactant Trend, 0.2 l/ha twice — after sowing on the 4th day and in the phase of 1—2 soybean leaves.
Conclusions. The effectiveness of the imadazoline group of herbicides with split application, where the active substance acts both through the leaves and through the root system of weeds, was lower on average by 11%, than with single application. On average, during the years of research, for the application of the herbicide Pari in the phase of 1—2 soybean leaves, s.c. (1.0 l/ha) destroyed 89.0% of weed seedlings, and with separate application at lower rates (0.3 l/ha on the 4th day after sowing and 0.4 l/ha in phase 1—2 soybean leaves) 78.3% of weeds died. Similarly, for the introduction of Fabian herbicide in phase 1—2 soybean leaves, w.g. (0.1 kg/ha) the efficiency of using the full rate of the drug was 83.8%, and with separate application (0.03 kg/ha on the 4th day after sowing + 0.04 kg/ha in the phase of 1—2 leaves) soybean weed destruction was 72.6%. The use of herbicides with a contact action showed a better efficiency of action with a two-time application. After applying the full dose of the drug Nabob, s.c. (3.0 l/ha) once reduced the number of weeds by 68.7%, and with two applications (1.0 l/ ha on the 4th day after sowing + 1.2 l/ ha in phase 1—2 soybean leaves) the effectiveness of the drug was 83.0%. For Harmony, w.g. with a one-time application of the full rate of the drug, it's overall effectiveness was 67.6%, and when using 3.0 g/ha on the 4th day after sowing and 3.0 g/ ha + 0.2 l/ha of surfactant Trend in phase 1—2 leaves of soybeans — 80.4%.

Authors: Storchous I. , Ivaschenko O. 
Published: September 2022

Goal. To establish the optimally high efficiency of weed control in soybean crops with a two-time application of the herbicide Harmony 75, VG to relieve stress in crop plants.
Methods. Field, laboratory, quantitative-weighing, visual, calculation-comparative, mathematical-statistical.
Results. It was established that a one-time spraying of crops with the herbicide Harmony 75, VG with the maximum consumption rate from the recommended (8.0 g/ ha) could be one of the factors that induced stress in soybean plants, delaying the intensity of photosynthesis and partially inhibiting other physiological processes (chlorophyll content a and b 5 days after spraying decreased (0.8 g/ dm2) compared to the data obtained before spraying (0.9 g/ dm2)). Research has established that two-time spraying of crops with the herbicide Harmony 75, VG at a rate of 5.0 g/ ha, the first — during the phase of the first triple leaf in soybean plants, the second — on the 4th day after the first, with observance of the time interval, ensured seedling control weeds and restrained the formation of vegetative mass, the average indicator of which was significantly lower compared to the average indicator established in the plots of the control version of the experiment, and was 15.7% of it. According to the results of the research, the average seed yield was the closest in value to the average yield of soybean seeds, which was obtained in the control plots of crops, where 4 consecutive manual weeding of crops was carried out during the growing season and the segetal vegetation was completely destroyed (3.31 t/ ha or 91.2%), recorded on the plots of crops with a two-time treatment of Harmony 75, VG with a rate of consumption of 5.0 g/ ha + 200 ml/ ha of PAR Trend 90 (the first treatment during the phase of the first triple leaf in soybean plants, the second treatment at 4 — that day after one).
Conclusions. Two-time spraying with the herbicide Harmony 75, VG, with a rate of consumption of 5.0 g/ ha + 200 ml/ ha of surfactant Trend 90 (the first time — during the phase of the first triple leaf in soybean plants and the second time — on the 4th day after the first) makes it possible to control the emergence of weeds, restrain the formation of vegetative mass, causes reduced stress in crop plants compared to a one-time introduction of the recommended rate, and ensures a higher yield of soybean seeds.
