Technological Aspect of Terminological Training of Professional Workers

This paper deals with the content-process and the result components of terminological training of specialists. We specified the notion of terminological training of professional workers as a gradual formation of genetic and complementary result components: (1) terminological literacy, (2) terminological competence, and (3) terminological culture. We separated three directions of terminological training: (1) informational (learning terminology of the field of studies); (2) practical (learning the methods of applying terminology for solving various tasks); and (3) reflective (developing motivation for learning terminology during continuous self-learning). Moreover, the study demonstrates how digital technologies can be used for effective terminological training in education. We developed a technology of terminological training that includes three stages of scaffolding (demonstration, guided practice, and independent practice) that correspond to the constituents of the result component (informational, practical, and reflective). The scientific novelty of this study lies in the use of scaffolding in terminological training within education. As a result of these interactions, students should be able to master terminological literacy, terminological competence, and terminological culture

Comparative assessment of physicians’ and senior medical students’ basic knowledge in treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is one of the most common pathologies of the respira-tory system. This disease ranks third in the group of the main causes of death in the world. The effective treatment of COPD has been developed by today. However, a significant part of physicians has an insufficient amount of education in this matter

SEAL LOUSE (ECHINOPHTHIRIDAE) AS VECTORS FOR INVASIVE AND INFECTIOUS DISEASE AGENTS OF PINNIPEDS

The aim of the presented article is to analyze seal lice (Phthiraptera: Anoplura, Echinophthiridae) adaptation to aquatic environment – permanent parasites of pinnipeds, as well as available literature data about seal lice as pathogen vectors of their hosts. Discussion. The most noticeable feature of seal lice adaptation to aquatic environment has become their movement in the nasal passages of pinnipeds. However, this does not mean a complete rejection of ecto - in favor of endoparasitism. Seal lice preserved morphology-functional mechanisms of attachment to the fur and gained a number of features that facilitate the existence in the aquatic environment: the abdominal spiracles are tapered and have tube-like shape; head, thorax and especially the abdomen is covered with scale-like flattened setae, which stick to the air bubbles. The close ecological connection with the pinnipeds makes bloodsucking seal lice effective carriers of etiological agents of invasive and infectious diseases, e.g. microfilaria Acanthocheilonema spirocauda (Nematoda: Onchocercidae), Southern elephant seal virus (SESV) (Togaviridae, Alphavirus), Bartonella henselae (Rhizobiales: Bartonellaceae). Symbiont of Proechinophthirus fluctus described in 2016 was classified to the group of spotted fever Rocky mountain (Rickettsia ricketsii), which includes etiological agents of dangerous human diseases. Conclusion. It is necessary to include investigations of seal lice of pinnipeds into the programs of ecology-zoological and ecologyvirological monitoring of marine mammals

Synthesis and Antimicrobial Activity of Carboxylate Phosphabetaines Derivatives with Alkyl Chains of Various Lengths

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the antibacterial activity of fifteen novel nanosized alkyl esters of carboxylate phosphabetaine: β-(carboxyalkyl)ethyltriphenylphosphonium bromides 4–8, β-(carboxyalkyl)-β-methylethyltriphenylphosphonium bromides 9–13, and β-(carboxyalkyl)-α-methylethyltriphenylphosphonium bromides 14–18. The in vitro microbiological activity of the synthesized phosphonium bromides against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria and the yeast Candida albicans was determined in comparison to standard agents. Microbiological results indicate that the synthesized phosphonium salts 4–18 possess a broad spectrum of activity against the tested microorganisms. Every newly synthesized compound was characterized by elemental analyses, IR, 1H NMR, and 31P NMR spectral studies

Synthesis and Antimicrobial Activity of Bis-4,6-sulfonamidated 5,7-Dinitrobenzofuroxans

A new series of bis-4,6-sulfonamidated 5,7-dinitrbenzofuroxans  7–11 had been synthesized and tested for antimicrobial activity. The structures of new sulfanilamide derivatives were characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry (MALDITOF). The synthesized compounds were tested for their in vitro antimicrobial activity using the disk diffusion method against Gram-positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus; the Gram-negative bacteria Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Proteus mirabilis; the fungal strain Aspergillus niger; and the yeast-like pathogenic fungus Candida albicans. Our results indicate that the compounds 7–11 exhibit potent antimicrobial activity. The stability of the compounds was evaluated by TG and DSC methods
