PRZEWIDYWANIE RYZYKA KARDIOMETABOLICZNEGO U PACJENTÓW Z NIEALKOHOLOWĄ STŁUSZCZENIOWĄ CHOROBĄ WĄTROBY W POŁĄCZENIU Z SUBKLINICZNĄ NIEDOCZYNNOŚCIĄ TARCZYCY
One of the most common diseases of our time is non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Recently published research results indicate that patients with NAFLD along with traditional risk factors for cardiovascular diseases (CVD) have "new" risk factors such as endothelial dysfunction (ED), carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT), an increase in the CRP level, as well as risk factors combined into the Framingham scale. It is also known that combination of NAFLD with subclinical hypothyroidism (SH) forms an abnormal metabolic phenotype, which is associated with cardiometabolic risk factors. The study of cardiometabolic predictors and vascular markers in patients with NAFLD in combination with SH will provide an opportunity to improve the strategy of cardiovascular events prevention in such comorbid patients.Niealkoholowe stłuszczenie wątroby (NAFLD) jest jedną z najczęstszych chorób naszych czasów. Ostatnio opublikowane wyniki badań sugerują, że pacjenci z NAFLD, wraz z tradycyjnymi czynnikami ryzyka chorób sercowo-naczyniowych (CVD), mają "nowe" czynniki ryzyka, takie jak dysfunkcja śródbłonka (ED), grubość błony wewnętrznej i środkowej tętnicy szyjnej (CIMT), podwyższony poziom CRP i czynniki ryzyka połączone w skali Framingham. Wiadomo również, że połączenie NAFLD z subkliniczną niedoczynnością tarczycy (SH) tworzy nieprawidłowy fenotyp metaboliczny związany z czynnikami ryzyka kardiometabolicznego. Badanie predyktorów kardiometabolicznych i markerów naczyniowych u pacjentów z NAFLD w połączeniu z SH pozwoli na ulepszenie strategii zapobiegania zdarzeniom sercowo-naczyniowym u takich współistniejących pacjentów
Personality-based intercultural awareness in undergraduate translation students via postcrossing

Creation of an electronic trilingual dictionary of biological terms with linguoculturological components
Digitization of educational system of the Republic of
Kazakhstan, coupled with the Trilingualism program, has revealed the
problem of the lack of trilingual training and resource books and, as a
result, their mass creation in electronic form. This article deals with the
experience of creating a disk version of an electronic trilingual
dictionary of biological terms with a linguoculturological component
using the Adobe Dreamweaver program. The experience of application
and use based on a survey of teachers suggests that Adobe
Dreamweaver is ideal for visualizing the linguoculturological
component of the term in order to effectively memorize the latter.La digitalización del sistema educativo de la República de
Kazajstán, junto con el programa de trilingüismo, ha revelado el
problema de la falta de capacitación trilingüe y libros de recursos y,
como resultado, su creación masiva en forma electrónica. Este artículo
trata sobre la experiencia de crear una versión en disco de un
diccionario electrónico trilingüe de términos biológicos con un
componente linguoculturológico utilizando el programa Adobe
Dreamweaver. La experiencia de aplicación y uso basada en una
encuesta de docentes sugiere que Adobe Dreamweaver es ideal para
visualizar el componente linguoculturológico del término con el fin de
memorizar efectivamente este último
Advantages of using paleontological components in extracurricular activities in the english language for middle-school students
The article explores the use of the elements of paleontology in extracurricular activities in the English language, since the materials enriched with the linguocultural and historical components contribute to the introduction of students to the linguistic cultures of other ethnic groups within a single state and increase the motivation for learning languages. The correct use of such materials in the project activities of schoolchildren provides opportunities for developing social activism and improving cross-cultural and linguistic competencies. The elements of paleontology in extracurricular activities in the English language could also contribute positively to the expansion of knowledge base in such school subjects as English and Biology and could potentially provide a deeper immersion in the culture and history of their country and their small homeland.O artigo examina o uso dos elementos de paleontologia em atividades extracurriculares em inglês, visto que os materiais, ricos em componentes linguísticas-culturológicas e históricas, contribuem para o envolvimento de um indivíduo em culturas linguísticas de outros grupos étnicos no interior de um mesmo país, e incrementam a motivação para aprender línguas. A aplicação correta de tais materiais nas atividades de projeto das crianças escolares potencialmente desenvolve uma posição cívica ativa, assim como as competências interculturais e linguísticas. Elementos de paleontologia em atividades extracurriculares em inglês também poderiam influenciar positivamente a ampliação de conhecimentos nas disciplinas, tais como Inglês e o curso escolar de Biologia, e potencialmente poderia proporcionar a imersão mais profunda em cultura e história do seu país, e da sua pequena terra natal.Aquí se discute el uso de elemento de paleontología en activididades extraescolares dirigidas en el idioma inglés porque los materiales ricos en aspectos culturológicos lingüísticos e históricos facilitan el conocimiento de indivíduos con culturas lingüísticas de otras grupas étnicas en el marco de un estado común así como producen una motivación alta para aprender idiomas extranjeros. La aplicación correcta de esos materiales en los proyectos desarrollados por los alumnos puede desarrollar su posición civil activa así como sus competencias lingüísticas e interculturales. Los elementos de paleontología en las actividades extraescolares en el idioma inglés también pueden tener un efecto positivo en el aumento del volumen de conocimientos en tales asignaturas como el idioma inglés y la biología y asegurar una inmersión más profunda en la cultura e historia del país nativos así como de la patria chica
