The article described a common statistical processing of information from the human body, as insufficiently correct, the necessity of evaluation functions organiz-ma, its adaptation reserves - with the help of the system analysis. The aim of the study was the use-tion of new products on the basis of multivariate phase space of states. Two CHECK dennyh research unit in 2 groups of students studied parameters of tremor using bioizme-nary complex with no load and load, as well as the recorded heart rate cut-ny, calculated indicators of activity of the sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions of the autonomic nervous system, the standard deviation intervals, Baevsky stress index. We calculated the components of the spectral power in the low and ultralow- frequency bands, as well as the value of vagosympathetic balance. After the standardized dynamic loading (30 squats) registration continued for 5 minutes. Using innovative methods proved to be more sensitive to the identification of the elements studied. The regularities in the dynamics of the behavior of the state vector of the body of persons trained and untrained should be used to quantify the degree of detraining of the body, as well as to assess the quality of the dose of physical activity (exercise) in athletes under relevant preparations (including sports).

Introduction. The most susceptible to lead is the hematopoietic system of hematopoietic organs due to lead inhibition of heme and globin synthesis and cytotoxic effect on the membrane of Mature red blood cells. The aim of study was to evaluate the informative value of the study of erythrocyte and reticulocyte parameters determined on modern hematological analyzers in patients working in contact with lead during medical and biological monitoring. Materials and methods. 45 employees of the lead battery processing plant and 30 persons of control group were examined. The level of lead in the blood was determined by atomic absorption spectrometry, δ-ALA in the urine-by the reaction of pyrol formation with acetylacetone in terms of gram of creatinine, the study of hematological parameters was performed on a Sysmex HT-2000i analyzer. Statistical processing of the results was performed using the program STATISTICA 10.0. Results. Significant changes in erythrocytic (RDW) and reticulocytic (RET, IRF, LFR, MFR, HFR, RET-He) parameters, erythropoietin in workers in contact with lead compared to the control group, changes in MCV, MCH, RDW, RET indicators in the group working in dynamics after 2 years were revealed. Associations of hematological parameters with biomarkers of exposure and effect (lead level in blood and ALA in urine) were revealed. Conclusions. Assessment of erythrocyte (MCV, MCH, RDW) and reticulocyte parameters (RET% and their distribution by maturity) in dynamics during periodic medical examinations of workers in contact with lead allows us to detect the development of hematological disorders at early stages.

Summary Background: It has been reported that obesity is associated with metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance, cardiovascular risk but also with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The prevalence of obesity in children and adolescents is increasing rapidly all over the world. The aim of this study was to analyze the value of liver enzymes: AST, ALT and γGT in a group of obese students in order to establish their correlation to anthropometric parameters such as: BMI (body mass index), WC (waist circumference), HC (hip circumference), and WHR (waist-to-hip ratio) compared to non-obese students who comprised the control group (CG). Methods: In this study, 238 students from the University of Novi Sad of both sexes (126 men and 112 women) with a mean age of 22.32 ± 1.85 years were included. According to the body mass index (BMI) lower and higher than 25 kg/m2 and waist circumference (WC) lower and higher than 94 cm (80 cm for females) the whole group of 238 students was divided into 2 subgroups: the obese group at increased risk for CVD (Group 1) and the group at lower risk for CVD (Group 2). AST, ALT and γGT activities were determined in fasting blood samples. Results: Statistical processing data revealed significantly higher values of AST, ALT and γGT in the group of students with BMI>25 kg/m2, WC>94 cm for males and WC>80 cm for females, HC>108 cm for males and HC>111 cm for females, and WHR>0.90 for males and WHR>0.80 for females (P<0.001). Significant association was established between anthropometric parameters and liver enzyme levels (P<0.0001). Conclusions: Obese students with higher BMI, WC, HC and WHR values have higher liver enzyme activites and a higher chance to develop NAFLD in the future.

Today in modern medicine the study of human health is reoriented to the individual principle, which is based on the identification and study of constitutionally determined patterns of manifestation of certain diseases. The purpose of the study is to establish and analyze the features of the girth body sizes in men and women with generalized fatty form of seborrheic dermatitis of varying severity. The comprehensive body size of 40 men and 40 young women (25-44 years) with generalized fatty seborrheic dermatitis (mild and severe) was determined. The control group consisted of the girth sizes of practically healthy men (n=82) and women (n=154) of the same age group, which were selected from the database of the research center National Pirogov Memorial Medical University. Statistical processing of body circumference was performed in the licensed package “Statistica 6.0” using non-parametric evaluation methods. As a result of studies in patients with seborrheic dermatitis of varying severity of men, compared with practically healthy men, found only greater values of the girth of the shoulder in a relaxed state and thighs, neck (only mild), shin in the upper part and waist (in both cases only with a severe degree), as well as smaller values of the girth of the shoulder in a tense state; and in patients of varying severity of women – greater values of the girth of the shoulder in a relaxed state, thighs, lower legs, neck, waist and all girths of the chest and both thighs (only severe), as well as smaller values of the girth of the hand (only with mild). In both men and women with seborrheic dermatitis, differences in girth body sizes are more pronounced in people with severe disease. Between men or women with seborrheic dermatitis of varying severity, there are no significant or trends in differences in girth body sizes. In the analysis of the manifestations of sexual dimorphism of the circumferential body size between men and women with seborrheic dermatitis found greater values in men with mild and severe disease of the upper extremities, hands, shin, feet and neck (in most cases more pronounced in representatives with mild severity), as well as only in men with mild severity – greater values of all chest girths. For a more correct understanding of changes in girth body sizes in Ukrainian men or women with seborrheic dermatitis of varying severity, it is necessary to analyze other constitutional parameters of the body.

Teaching innovative schools of thought call for innovative methods of instruction. This article investigates the challenges associated with teaching Actor-Network Theory (ANT) and proposes a creative pedagogical approach of ‘performing’ ANT in the classroom. This article presents a small case study of an instance where this theatrical method was employed in an undergraduate classroom to teach Annemarie Mol’s The Body Multiple. Based on the qualitative data collected from reflections of students and the professor, it investigates the successes of this creative pedagogical approach to teach ANT. This article argues that it is only through innovative teaching methods that ANT can be effectively explored in the classroom.

Conflicting Objectives

Fully active electrohydraulic control of a quarter-car test rig is considered from both a modelling and experimental point of view. This paper develops a nonlinear active hydraulic design for the active suspension system, which improves the inherent trade-off between ride quality and suspension travel. The novelty is in the use of pole assessment controller to drive a nonlinear active suspension with a new insight into the model through consideration of a new term, friction forces. Therefore, this model has taken into account the dynamic inclination angle [Formula: see text] between linkage and actuator regardless of the fact that the designer made an only vertical motion (bounce mode) of the wheel and body units. The second contribution of this paper is that it investigated the control force generation, therefore, the nonlinear hydraulic actuator whose effective bandwidth depends on the magnitude of the suspension travel, which incorporates the dynamic equation of servovalve, is deeply researched. The nonlinear friction model is accurately established, which relies on the dynamics system analysis and the fact of slipping the body on lubricant supported bearings; this model will caption all the friction behaviours that have been observed experimentally. In addition, the hydraulic system is used to generate the system inputs as a road simulator. The controller smoothly shifts its focus between the conflicting objectives of ride comfort and rattle space utilisation, softening the suspension when suspension travel is small and stiffening it as it approaches the travel limits. Thus, the nonlinear design allows the closed-loop system to behave differently in different operating regions. The improvement achieved with our design is illustrated through comparative experiments and simulations. C++ compiler environment is used to simulate the physical system to be controlled. The results show good servo control and fast regulation of abrupt disturbances.

SUMMARYFilariids of birds of Taiwan, Palawan and Sabah are discussed. Oceanifilaria verrucosa gen. et. sp.nov. from woodpeckers is proposed in Dicheilonematinae. It differs from other genera in the subfamily in having asymmetrical caudal alae, in lacking sessile papillae between the alae and in possessing a band of cuticular bosses at the anterior end followed by a bare zone, the latter followed by irregular bosses over the rest of the body. Aprocta calliderma sp.nov. from a cuckoo differs from A. papillosa Chabaud, Anderson & Brygoo, 1959, in having an oesophagus about one-sixth as long. Parornithofilaria hepatica sp.nov. from a pigeon differs from P. lienalis (Orloff, 1947) Sonin, 1965, in having unequal spicules with the right 110–120 mm and the left 140–175 μm long. Parornithofilaria sonini sp.nov. from magpies differs from P. hepatica in spicule shape, tail length and distribution of caudal papillae.

Abstract The design, properties, and possible diagnostic contribution of a multichannel bioimpedance monitor (MBM) with three independent current sources are presented in this paper. The simultaneous measurement of bioimpedance at 18 locations (the main part of the body, legs, arms, and neck) provides completely new information, on the basis of which more precise haemodynamic parameters can be obtained. The application of the MBM during various haemodynamic stages, such as resting in a supine position, tilting, exercise stress, and various respiration manoeuvres, is demonstrated. Statistical analysis on a group of 34 healthy volunteers is presented for demonstration of blood flow monitoring by using the proposed method.

A comprehensive inquiry was made into psycho-physical and self-perception phenomena through innovative methods. Graphic somatometry and judges' ratings provided data on body characteristics, a scaled Personal Inventory derived data on self-perceptions, and the Bell Adjustment Inventory measured personal characteristics. Correlation coefficients, chi-square tests, and z-score patterns were used to analyze data from 91 Ss. A few relations between body characteristics and adjustment were found and some relations between posture and adjustment, but body type showed no significant relations for the group although relations were clear in individual cases. There was definite dissatisfaction with the body, with personal impressions of figure being influenced by impressions of posture, and this dissatisfaction was related to two adjustment variables, namely, home adjustment and health adjustment. The pattern of z scores for figure and posture characteristics and adjustment, of the high-figure-impression group differed from that of the low group. A major conclusion was that intervening variables of body-image and self-perception must be examined if the relationship between body and personality is to be clarified.

The aim of this study was to identify the morphological features of organ damage due to shock in deceased with different types of sepsis under modern complex therapy.Material and methods. We studied archival material of 93 autopsies of the deceased with a clinical diagnosis of sepsis. Microscopic examination assessed the frequency among the observed groups and the prevalence of signs of damage to the microvasculature vessels, as well as organ parenchyma: myocardium, liver, kidneys, and brain. Statistical processing of the obtained data was carried out with the determination of significant differences between the observed groups.Results. 4 observation groups were distinguished: the first group with leukocyte mini-foci and shock (n=10), the second group with mini-foci without shock (n=11), the third group without purulent metastases with shock (n=15), the fourth group without purulent metastases without shock (n=43). It was revealed that the main etiological factor of septic shock is gram-negative microflora. It was found that in septic shock, the activation of the coagulation system is more pronounced, which is confirmed by the greater frequency of detection of blood clots in the lumen of microvasculature blood vessels. In the deceased groups with shock and leukocyte mini-foci leukostasis in the kidney vessels and desquamation of the endothelium were detected reliably (p = 0.01 and p = 0.01) more often than in the group with shock without purulent metastases.Conclusion. Septic shock is detected in every fourth (26%) deceased with this pathology. Septic shock development is based on the hyperergic response of the body to a generalized gram-negative infection, in 64% of cases presented by Klebsiella pneumonia. Septic shock is characterized by decrease in arteriole tone, absence or minimal manifestations of purulent metastasis , more severe damage to the vessels of the microcirculatory bed, manifested through the widespread exfoliation of endotheliocytes in the lumen of the vessels, frequent development of a sludge phenomenon and blood clots in the vessels of the myocardium, as well as hyaline membranes in the lungs. The detection of at least minimal manifestations of purulent metastasis in the tissues of those who died from septic shock is associated with increased expression of adhesive molecules in the myocardial vascular endothelium, its desquamation, and the appearance of leukostasis in the kidneys. These few morphological differences are associated with the nature of the patient's body reaction to a generalized infection and, accordingly, the rate of its development.

Background. When choosing foods rich in carbohydrates, it is important to consider not only their chemical composition, but also the ability to influence the level of postprandial blood glucose (glycemic response). A qualitative indicator of this ability is the glycemic index (GI) of a carbohydrate-containing product. Recently, there have been some evidences that control of GI nutrition can be important for prevention and nutrition therapy of metabolic disorders. Aim. To determine of the magnitude of the glycemic index (GI) of actual nutrition in women in Novosibirsk, and the study of the connection with metabolism and obesity. Material and methods. The study was designed as cross-sectional research and was carried out within the framework of the international HAPIEE project on a random representative sample of the unorganized population of Novosibirsk, 4397 women, the average age was 57.7 7.1, without diabetes. For the calculation of GI nutrition, the International Table of Glycemic Index and Glycemic Load (2008) were used. The frequency method was used to evaluate the actual nutrition. Metabolic Syndrome (MS) criteria were used in accordance with the Russian National Recommendations of the GEF (2009), as well as with the international recommendations of NCEP ATP III (2001) and JIS (2009). Statistical processing of data was carried out using the SPSS 13.0 software package (Bonferroni criterion in the GLM procedure). The odds ratio (OR) was estimated using binary logistic regression in quartiles of the glycemic index. Differences were considered statistically significant at p 0.05. Results. The GI of women's nutrition was on average low and amounted to 53.1 units. In the quartiles of the GI OR, the MS for all the criteria used was not significantly different. In the quartiles of the body mass index (BMI) in women with GI in the group with normal body weight (BMI = 23.3 kg/m2) was significantly higher by 0.9 units (p 0.001) compared with the obese group (BMI = 37.3 kg/m2). The diet was unbalanced and did not meet the recommendation in all groups of women studied. It was noted a significant reduction in the group with obesity 1.6 times the value of total caloric intake per 1 kg of body weight. Conclusions. Nutrition of women in Novosibirsk is unbalanced, with increased consumption of fat and inadequate intake of carbohydrates. The GI value is close to the GI nutrition of the population of European countries. The presence of a connection between the GI nutrition of women with a metabolic disorder in the sample of the population was not established.
