Language Choice and Identity of Karelian and Belarusian Youth (according to Polls of Ethnic Leaders)

A new perspective on the analysis of the linguistic and ethnocultural situation in the Republic of Karelia and the Republic of Belarus is offered in the study. The novelty of the study is seen in the fact that, taking into account various initial parameters — geographic distance, form of government, language status — it is proposed to compare the situation in two regions, in which a general tendency is found due to the dominant position of the Russian language. The main attention is paid to clarifying the ethnic well-being of people, to varying degrees, involved in the processes of preserving language and culture. An interpretation and comparison of the reasons for the preference of the Russian language in the network space and in real life is proposed. The article is based on the results of a survey of the translators of the Vkontakte social network interface, materials from biographical interviews with ethnic leaders, and observation data on ethnically oriented events in the regions under consideration. The difference in linguistic attitudes and real practices of using the Karelian and Belarusian languages by activists was revealed. The linguistic reasons (the level of linguistic competence) and the psychological aspect of the ethno-linguistic component in the choice of the dominant language in Karelia and Belarus have been determined

The effect of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease on the level of homocysteinemia and the condition of coronary vessels in patients with myocardial infarction

Objective: to study and compare the level of homocysteine with the results of coronary angiography in patients with myocardial infarction (MI) and concurrent chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).Subjects and methods. 246 patients with MI were examined. In 137 (55.7%) people, MI developed on the background of COPD, while in 109 (44.3%) patients MI was a single condition. Comparison groups consisted of 55 somatically healthy individuals and 50 patients with COPD. Enzyme immunoassay was used for testing homocysteine levels in plasma samples.Results. Stenoses of only one coronary artery (CA) with hyperhomocysteinemia were rare in patients in both groups (3.5% in patients with myocardial infarction and 3% in patients with myocardial infarction and concurrent COPD), multivessel diseases of CA statistically significantly prevailed. Lesions of 3 vessels or more were detected statistically significantly more often in patients with hyperhomocysteinemia with myocardial infarction and concurrent COPD. Among patients with myocardial infarction with hyperhomocysteinemia, patients with CA narrowing by 50-75% prevailed, and among patients with myocardial infarction with COPD and hyperhomocysteinemia, patients with CA narrowing by 75-99% and complete occlusion were statistically significantly more frequent. That is, in patients with myocardial infarction, concurrent COPD and hyperhomocysteinemia, more pronounced lesion of CA was observed, which was manifested by multivascular lesions, greater severity of occlusion and higher frequency of complete stenosis of CA
