Diurnal variations of cosmic ray geomagnetic cut-off threshold rigidities

The spectrographic global survey method was used to investigate the rigidity variations Rc of geomagnetic cut-off as a function of local time and the level of geomagnetic disturbance for a number of stations of the world wide network. It is shown that geomagnetic cut-off threshold rigidities undergo diurnal variations. The diurnal wave amplitude decreases with increasing threshold rigidity Rc, and the wave maximum occurs at 2 to 4 hr LT. The amplitude of diurnal variations increases with increasing geomagnetic activity. The results agree with those from trajectory calculations made for an asymmetric model of the magnetosphere during different geomagnetic disturbance conditions

КОРЕКЦІЯ ПСИХОЛОГІЧНОГО СТАНУ ТА ЗНИЖЕННЯ БОЛЮ У ХВОРИХ ІЗ ДИСКОГЕННИМИ ДОРСОПАТІЯМИ ЗА ДОПОМОГОЮ БІНАУРАЛЬНОЇ ТЕРАПІЇ ТА ФОТОСТИМУЛЯЦІЇ

Currently back pain is common, and in developed countries, according to WHO experts, reached the size of non-infectious epidemic, which in most cases is associated with increasing loads on people.A distinctive feature of these diseases and conditions – the defeat of the spine with the surrounding anatomical structures – ties, nerve fibers, muscles, blood vessels with the development of relevant symptoms.High disability of working age due to violation of a complete musculo-skeletal apparatus reduce the problem of treatment of pain syndromes very urgent.В настоящее время боли в спине широко распространены, а в развитых странах, по данным экспертов ВОЗ, достигли размеров неинфекционной эпидемии, в большинстве случаев связано с возрастающими нагрузками на человека. Отличительная черта этих заболеваний и состояний – поражение позвоночного столба вместе с прилегающими анатомическими структурами – связями, нервными волокнами, мышцами, кровеносными сосудами с развитием соответствующей симптоматики. Высокая инвалидизация лиц трудоспособного возраста вследствие нарушения полноценной работы опорно-двигательного аппарата есть проблемой очень актуальной.У даний час біль у спині широко поширений, а в розвинених країнах, за даними експертів ВООЗ, досягнув розмірів неінфекційної епідемії, що в більшості випадків пов’язано зі зростаючими навантаженнями на людину. Відмінна риса цих захворювань і станів – ураження хребетного стовпа разом із прилеглими анатомічними структурами – зв’язками, нервовими волокнами, м’язами, кровоносними судинами з розвитком відповідної симптоматики. Висока інвалідизація осіб працездатного віку внаслідок порушення повноцінної роботи опорно-рухового апарату є проблемою дуже актуальною

Cultural Stereotypes and Their Reflection in Transnational Advertising

An attempt was made in the article to analyze cultural stereotypes and their reflection in the advertising of Dove and Olay cosmetic brands. For the first time, stereotypes of beauty in Chinese, Russian and English video advertising of international companies are compared. On the example of transnational advertising, the ways of transmitting verbal information in a commercial message are studied, cultural differences in the perception of beauty stereotypes are revealed, their transformation is established, and new means of expression are described. A contradictory trend has been identified in marketing: on the one hand, international companies actively use national and cultural stereotypes, which allow creating an emotionally significant image in accordance with the ethno-cultural worldview of the consumer, paying attention to it, making a decision in the face of a large flow of information, on the other hand, they oppose standardization and stereotyping. Their role in the perception of the value of information has been established

Risk factors for external genital endometriosis

One of the most common forms of violation of the reproductive system of a woman is endometriosis. It is assumed that the genetic predisposition and environmental factors are closely related to the development of endometriosis. However, despite the high prevalence of endometriosis among women of reproductive age, the risk factors or markers for the development of the disease remain largely unknown. The aim of the study was to identify risk factors for external genital endometriosis. Materials and methods. Study design: retrospective case-control. The study included 154 women. Group I included 77 women with histologically verified external genital endometriosis. Group II consisted of 77 women without endometriosis, who underwent endoscopic surgery due to various diseases of the pelvic organs. Results. The results of the study showed that the most significant risk factors for endometriosis are the early onset of menarche (< 11 years), a shortened menstrual cycle with prolonged menstruation, active and passive smoking, the presence of furnace heating and uterine fibroids, a family history of breast cancer. Typical complaints of patients with endometriosis are pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea and dyspareunia. Conclusions. Further studies are needed to study the significance of these factors in the diagnosis of endometriosis and the understanding of its etiology

More international students coming to Russia: pros and cons

In this paper, the authors analyze various aspects of policies aimed at increasing international students' body (economic advantages, sociocultural benefits, education system changes, international students' adaptation management). The goal of the paper is to consider the advantages and disadvantages of the international students' rise in the total population of Russian universitie

PMR study of the three-dimensional structure of stereoisomeric adducts of cis-alloocimene with acrylonitrile and their cyclization products with dichlorocarbene

1. cis-Alloocimene adds acrylonitrile to give two stereoisomeric adducts, which exist in a half-chair conformation. Based on PMR spectra, one of the stereoisomers has a quasiaxial methyl group and pseudoequatorial nitrile and isopropylidene groups, while the other stereoisomer has a quasi-axial isopropylidene substituent and equatorial nitrile and methyl groups. 2. Dichlorocyclopropanation of these adducts occurs from the sterically less hindered side of the molecules, with the formation, from one of the stereoisomers, of a cycloaddition product at the exocyclic double bond, and two stereoisomeric cycloaddition products at the two double bonds with a cis orientation of the cyclopropane ring and the CN group; the other stereoisomer, on the other hand, gives two stereoisomeric cycloaddition products at the two double bonds with a trans orientation of the cyclopropane ring and CN-group. © 1988 Plenum Publishing Corporation

Three-dimensional structure of phosphorus-containing heterocycles - Communication 39. 2-hydro-2-oxo-4,5,7,8-dibenzo-1,3,2-dioxaphosphocins

By means of dynamic PMR spectrometry, UV spectra, dipole moments, and ab-initio SCF MO LCAO calculations of model compounds, it has been shown that for 2-hydro-2-oxo-4,5,7,8-dibenzo-4H-1,3,2-dioxaphosphocins there is characteristically a three-component equilibrium with the participation of both of the boat-chair forms and one boat form with equatorial position of the P-H bond. The thermodynamic characteristics of the equilibrium have been determined. © 1987 Plenum Publishing Corporation

The study of professional burnout syndrome in specialists of the department of anaesthesiology and intensive care

Objective was to determine the presence and the main manifestations of professional burnout syndrome among intensive care doctors and nurses from the department of anesthesiology and intensive care. Material and methods. Resuscitators and secondary medical staff were asked to pass a questionnaire, which included a survey by V.V. Boyko «Emotional burnout», a test by C. Spielberger in the modification Y.A. Hanin, the technique of Munsterberg. Results and discussion. Professional burnout syndrome is typical for 55 % of resuscitators and 35 % of mid-level medical staff of the department of anaesthesiology and intensive care of the pediatric University clinic. As for the respondents of the first group, the presence of the «resistance» phase is characteristic, while the second group has the «resistance» and «exhaustion» phases. According to the Spielberger scale, both groups have a middle degree of situational and personal anxiety. The Munsterberg method found that selectiveness and concentration of attention before and after the daily shift is more decreased in resuscitators. Conclusion. High rates of susceptibility of specialists of the department of anaesthesiology and intensive care to the formation of professional burnout syndrome, which affects their psychological health, were established. It is necessary to develop appropriate measures to prevent this occurrence
