Background: Etiology of various gastrointestinal dysfunctions varies from infections and infestations to consequences of emotional stress and errors in animals’ nutrition. Taking this variability of etiology and pathogenesis into account, a lot depends not only on completeness of homeopathic history taking but also on the quality of laboratory studies. In our experience, coprology studies are especially complicated when persistent gastrointestinal disorders were preceded by massive use of allopathic remedies. This sometimes necessitates repeated examinations. That is why our interest in having reliable results and early detection of latent indigestion made us look for non-invasive methods which could be easy to use in animals but at the same time could reveal latent gastrointestinal pathology in animals. Aims: The study was aimed to determine the effect of a homeopathic medication Nux Vomica 6CH on detection of latent gastrointestinal pathology in small domestic animals. Method: Coprology studies were performed simultaneously with the use of sedimentation method and Fulleborn method (modification of Scherbovich). Infestations were diagnosed and characteristics of patient digestion were recorded. Feces test detected: 1. Presence of endoparasites (helminths, protozoa and yeast-like structures); 2. State of intestinal microflora (presence of different species and their balance with each other); 3. Degree of food absorbency (presence or lack of undigested protein, carbohydrates and fat); 4. Presence of inedible inclusions; 5. Presence of cells (lymphocytes, erythrocytes, intestinal epithelium, tumor fragments). If animal feces tests were non-informative, then all medications (except vitally important) were discontinued and Nux Vomica 6CH twice a day twenty minutes prior to food intake was prescribed for 6 days (4 globules dissolved in 10 ml of water). Results: 4500 coprology tests were performed during 3 years in cats and dogs. About 10% of the total number of examined animals (449 patients) produced very little information about the state of gastrointestinal systems at the first examination. When these cases were analyzed, the following reasons were found: long-term use of strong drugs, significant weakening of body immune system. As a result diagnostic tests were of very little value. These animals were treated by Nux Vomica 6CH for 6 days and then repeated feces test was performed. This produced a more informative picture of the state of gastrointestinal system and enabled to determine etiology and pathogenesis of the animal condition and prescribe necessary treatment. Conclusion. In such a way, Nux Vomica 6CH homeopathic remedy promoted effective optimization of coprology studies in animals. The suggested scheme of use for Nux Vomica 6CH significantly improves feces test quality. This in turn reduces time needed to choose strategy and tactics of treatment of small domestic animals with different chronic diseases.

The results of studies of sea and river waters, soils of the territory adjacent to the Vanino transport and industrial hub are presented. Iron, manganese, copper and zinc have been identified as common priority pollutants of sea and river water. The quality of river waters of the Toki and Aya rivers, estimated by 14 hydrochemical indicators, is classified as "polluted". Local areas of peat-bog soil and brown soils belonging to the Toki river catchment area were identified as background areas in the studied territory.

AimTo investigate the short- and long-term effects of Home-based Pulmonary Rehabilitation (HBPR) on functional capacity, quality of life, peripheral muscle strength, dyspnea and daily physical activity in people with bronchiectasis.MethodsRandomised controlled trial with 63 participants with bronchiectasis. The HBPR group performed three sessions per week for 8 weeks (aerobic exercise: step training for 20 min; resistance training: exercises for quadriceps, hamstrings, deltoids, and biceps brachii with elastic bands). The control group received recommendation to walk at moderate intensity, three times per week. A weekly phone call was conducted for all participants, and the HBPR group received a home visit every 15 days. The primary outcome was distance in the incremental shuttle walk test (ISWT). Secondary outcomes were time in the endurance shuttle walk test (ESWT), number of steps in the incremental step test, quality of life, quadriceps muscle strength and daily physical activity. Measures were taken before and after intervention and 6 months later.ResultsAfter the intervention, the HBPR group had increased the distance in ISWT compared with the control group with between-group difference: 87.9 m (95% CI 32.4 to 143.5). Between-group differences was found in ESWT, incremental step test, quality of life and quadriceps muscle strength in favor to HBPR group too. After 6 months, no differences were observed between the groups.ConclusionHBPR is an effective alternative for offering pulmonary rehabilitation for people with bronchiectasis. However, the program was not effective in maintaining the benefits after 6 months of follow-up.

The objective of this research was to study the correlation berween evaluation knowledge, attitude on sosial studies and teachers made test quality. The population of this reserch was the junior hight schools students in Ambon City. The size of samples was 60 teacher, selected by multi stage random simple technique. The data were collected through questionnaires instruments to attitudes toward the Social Scinence and evaluation knowledge test while the quality of teacher-made tests are judged by five assessors for the validity of the content and results of the students' answers to subsequent empirical validity converted through the t-scores. The result concluded taht there was a positive correlation between (1) evaluation knowledge (X1) and teacher made test quality (Y) with ry1 = 0.79 and Ŷ= 4,85 + 0,57X1. ( 2) there was positive correlation between attitude on social study (X2) and teacher made test quality (Y) with ry2 = 0,79 and Ŷ = 2,71 + 0,45X2. (3) ther was positive correlation of evaluation knowledge (X1), attitude social study (X2) and teacher made test quality (Y) with was shown by correlation coefficient Ry12 = 0,81, and the equwtion of multiple linier regression Ŷ = 1,28 + 0,27X1 + 1,26X2. All the testing done at α = 0,05. Based on the results of this study, it was concluded that the evaluation of knowledge and attitudes towards ilmu pengetahuan sosial either separately or jointly positive effect on the quality of teacher-made tests. this means that the higher knowledge and more positive evaluation of the ilmu pengetahuan sosial, the quality test.

This research aims to describe: (1) the quality of mathematics school examination test of the Junior High School for the academic year 2015/2016 in Kabupaten Bangkalan based on qualitative analysis of tests item, (2) ) the quality of mathematics school examination test of Junior High School for the academic year 2015/2016 in Kabupaten Bangkalan based on quantitative analysis of test items, and (3) the test equating on mathematics school examination test for the academic year of 2015/2016 of Junior High School in Kabupaten Bangkalan. A test is said to be quality if it fulfills validity, reliability, and it has good characteristic. A test is said to be equivalent to another if the test scores of one test can be exchanged with the scores of another test. The data is taken from school examination script accompanied with the answer sheets of students. Qualitative data analysis was conducted with the help of experts judgement. Quantitative data analysis was conducted with Classical Test Theory by Iteman and Item Response Theory by BilogMG. These programs are used to find out the test quality quantitatively. In order to analyze the equivalence between series of tests, item-characteristic curves were used. These curves were drawn by Geogebra. The research result shows: (1) qualitatively, the test plan quality of mathematics school examination test is quite good. Meanwhile, the school exam quality is quite good and not so good, (2) quantitatively, the school examination test quality is good, and (3) equating, based on the item-characteristic curves, the school examination tests is equal.
