The objectives of this investigation were to develop a scale to measure attitudes towards animal use, decide upon the number of dimensions or scales needed, and test the reliability and validity of the dimension(s) obtained. Analysis showed the final scale to be unidimensional with evidence of reliability (Cronbach alpha = .99) and criterion validity via measurement of known groups. The known groups were derived from a random sample of members of the Animal Rights Information and Education Service (representing those opposed to humans' use of animals) and members of National Animal Damage Control Association (representing those supporting animal use). The final scale contained 48 items and was readable at Grade 6 which facilitates administration across a broad range of educational backgrounds and has utility for a variety of animal-use issues.

The objectiveof the study was to conduct a comparative analysis of the results of traditional and modern methods of surgical treatment of patients with severe concomitant injury, accompanied by fractures of the tubular bones of the limbs.Material and methods. The retro-and prospective analysis of the results of surgical treatment of 1033 patients with severe concomitant injury hospitalized in Baku Clinical Hospital № 3 for the period from 2009 to 2015 is presented. The patients were divided into 2 groups for a comparative evaluation of the results of treatment, depending on the effectiveness of the applied medical tactics. The 1st (main) group consisted of 828 (80.2 %) patients who were treated using the tactics of programmed multi-stage surgical treatment in accordance with the concept of «damage control». The 2nd (comparison group) included 205 (19.8 %) patients, who were treated using the traditional tactics of surgical treatment.Results.In a multi-field General surgical hospital, the introduction of the «damage control» program using the tactics of programmed surgical treatment in patients with severe concomitant and multiple injury allowed to increase surgical activity and reduce the mortality rate from 45.9 to 21.6 %.Conclusion.The application of tactics of stage surgical correction of injuries allows to improve the immediate results of treatment of patients with severe concomitant and multiple injury.
