Features of the results of conductometric studies of apple juices
By the conductometric method, the dependence of the specific electrical conductivity (Ï) of five apple juice samples on the volume fraction (Ï) of apple juice in a solution with distilled water. The dependence Ï in the range Ï from 0 to 1 acquires a power-law character (the correlation coefficient is close to 1), since a significant part of the mineral composition of apple juices consists of various organic acids. The technique fully complies with the principles of âgreenâ chemistry, since the âwasteâ is apple juice diluted with distilled water
The motivational and volitional sphere of transport police officers
The hypothesis of study: there are statistically significant differences in the motivational and volitional sphere of transport police officers in command and civilian positions. This is due to the specifics of the professional activities of employees of command positions: the importance of goals, high requirements for stress resistance, personal reliability, discipline, endurance. This requires high motivation and strongwilled endurance. The study involved 44 employees of the East-Siberian Linear department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation on transport aged 26 to 42 years, all men. Of these, 22 are employees who hold command positions, 22 are employees who hold civilian positions. The results of the study confirm the hypothesis. The motivational and volitional sphere of employees of command and civilian positions of the transport police has statistically significant differences: for citizens, comfort and good conditions are important for a sense of well-being at work. Whereas employees of command positions prefer to realize in the profession through the opportunity to be useful to people and help them
Nikolay N. Petrov: Ethos of a Scientist and a Doctor
Aim. In this work, the authors set out to perform a historical analysis of Nikolay Petrovâs life journey and scientific work, as well as to demonstrate the importance of the Kuban period in his formation as an individual, a scientist and as a founder of domestic medical deontology.Materials and methods. In this study, the authors used archival documents; works of Nikolay Petrov; as well as the following methods: historical-descriptive, comparative-historical, problem-chronological, biographical along with the method of monographic description.Results. The life and professional journey of Nikolay Petrov can be divided into several periods, each of them playing an important role in his formation as an individual and as a scientist. The fi rst period (âSt Petersburg periodâ) covers his brilliant upbringing, education at the Military Medical Academy in Saint Petersburg, work as a medical resident at the Surgery Department of the Academy, as well as the publication of his first scientific works and the defence of the doctoral thesis in medicine. During the second period (âabroad periodâ), Nikolay Petrov completed advanced training at the Pasteur Institute and worked at the clinics of Switzerland, Austria and Germany. The third period (âteaching periodâ) covers the time when Nikolay Petrov was simultaneously working as a surgeon and a teacher at the Military Medical Academy; his fundamental works on surgery and oncology were published. The forth âmilitary periodâ coincided with the years of the First World War when Nikolay Petrov worked as a surgeon at the hospitals of the Russian Red Cross Society while continuing his research. The fifth period (âKuban periodâ) coincided with the years of revolutionary upheavals, civil war and moving to Kuban. In 1917â1922 Nikolay Petrov had to choose between emigration and his motherland. He stayed true to his profession and his homeland. Nikolay Petrov devoted himself to serving the ânewâ country, actively participated in the organisation of the Kuban Medical University and wrote a number of works on surgery, including the first work on medical deontology in the country. The sixth period is called âreturn to St Petersburgâ where in 1925 Nikolay Petrov organised the Oncology Department at the Mechnikov hospital, which under his guidance became the first research institute for oncology in our country. This period was marked by the recognition of his talent as a doctor and a scientist by the public and government.Conclusion. Nikolay Petrovâs ethos as a scientist and a doctor was formed under the influence of his challenging life journey, with the Kuban period being a turning point in his life
Antibodies to the Spike Protein Receptor-Binding Domain of SARS-CoV-2 at 4–13 Months after COVID-19
Identification of factors behind the level and duration of persistence of the SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in the blood is assumed to set the direction for studying humoral immunity mechanisms against COVID-19, optimizing the strategy for vaccine use, antibody-based drugs, and epidemiological control of COVID-19. Objective: This study aimed to study the relationship between clinical and demographic characteristics and the level of IgG antibodies to the RBD of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein after COVID-19 in the long term. Residents of the Altai Region of Western Siberia of Russia, Caucasians, aged from 27 to 93 years (median 53.0 years), who recovered from COVID-19 between May 2020 and February 2021 (n = 44) took part in this prospective observational study. The titer of IgG antibodies to the RBD of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein was measured repeatedly in the blood at 4–13 months from the beginning of the clinical manifestation of COVID-19 via the method of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The antibody titer positively correlated with age (p = 0.013) and COVID-19 pneumonia (p = 0.002) at 20–40 and 20–24 weeks from the onset of COVID-19 symptoms, respectively. Age was positively associated with antibody titer regardless of history of COVID-19 pneumonia (beta regression coefficient p = 0.009). The antibody titer decreased in 15 (34.1%) patients, increased in 10 (22.7%) patients, and did not change in 19 (43.2%) patients from the baseline to 48–49 weeks from the onset of COVID-19 symptoms, with seropositivity persisting in all patients. Age and COVID-19 pneumonia are possibly associated with higher IgG antibodies to the spike protein RBD of SARS-CoV-2 following COVID-19 in the long term. Divergent trends of anti-RBD IgG levels in adults illustrate inter-individual differences at 4–13 months from the onset of COVID-19 symptoms
