Full textAbstract:
Menstruation and menstrual practices still face many social, cultural, and non secular restrictions which is an enormous barrier within the path of menstrual hygiene management. In many parts of the country especially in rural areas girls aren't prepared and aware of menstruation in order that they face many difficulties and challenges reception, schools, and work places. In rural areas, women don't have access to sanitary products or they know little about the kinds and method of using them or are unable to afford such products due to high cost. So, they mostly believe reusable cloth pads which they wash and use again. Implementation of recent techniques like incineration can help to scale back the waste. Also, awareness should be created to stress the utilization of reusable sanitary products or the natural sanitary products made up of materials like banana fibre, bamboo fibre, sea sponges, water hyacinth, and so on.

Анализ в ходе исследования влияния факторов риска, влияющих на психоэмоциональное состояние работников комитета санитарно-эпидемиологического надзора в условиях карантина. Постоянное нахождение санитарных врачей в сфере здравоохранения в стрессовой ситуации при общении с больными в очаге заболевания, возникновение социально-медицинских проблем и другие морально-психологические факторы негативно влияют на их социально - психологический статус. Актуальность изучения данной проблемы стремительно растет из-за низкого уровня стрессоустойчивости и эмоционального выгорания значительной части санитарных врачей. В связи с распространенной эпидемиологической ситуацией в 2020 году на санитарных врачей в сфере общественного здравоохранения Республики Казахстан возложена большая нагрузка и ответственность. В связи с этим актуальным вопросом является определение психоэмоционального состояния санитарных врачей. Analysis of the influence of risk factors affecting the psychoemotional state of employees of the Committee for sanitary and epidemiological supervision in quarantine conditions. The constant presence of sanitary doctors in the field of health care in a stressful situation when communicating with patients in the focus of the disease, the occurrence of socio-medical problems and other moral and psychological factors negatively affect their socio-psychological status. The relevance of the study of this problem is rapidly growing due to the low level of stress resistance and emotional burnout of a significant part of sanitary doctors. Due to the widespread epidemiological situation in 2020, sanitary doctors in the field of public health of the Republic of Kazakhstan have a large burden and responsibility. In this regard, the current issue is the definition of the psychoemotional state of sanitary doctors.

BACKGROUND: The abnormal conditions of life and genetic factors often play a major role in the incidence of "diabetes - diabetes", heart disease and vascular disease, jaundice and posttraumatic stress.AIM: Trauma and posttraumatic stress are most common in the displaced persons, and the focus of this paper is to focus on this issue regarding cases in former Yugoslavia, and now in our country. These diseases are caused by increased beta-cell sensitivity to viruses, the development of autoimmune antibodies attacking their pancreas cells, degenerative changes in cells that result in the change of structure and of insulin production.MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this paper, we have taken into account the traumatic events and long-term psychosocial consequences for internally displaced persons, several years after displacement, and found a high level of PTSD symptoms.RESULTS: This stress is present in almost 1/3 of internally displaced persons, and every sixth person has suffered from PTSD in the past. Respondents suffer from symptoms of intrusion, but there was a large number of symptoms, such as avoidance and increased arousal. We also found that gender, age and education are related to the symptoms.CONCLUSION: Females, and older respondents and internally displaced persons with lower levels of education show a higher level of PTSD symptoms.

On the example of urban soils of the city of Voronezh there was revealed dependence of the degree of the disturbance of complexes of filamentous microorganisms on soil contamination levels. For the complex of micromycetes in the recreational area of the city disturbances are reversible and correspond to the adaptive range of "stress". In the transport an irreversible transition originates to the adaptive range of "resistance". There are accumulated toxigenic, opportunistic and allergenic fungi species that is harmful to the health of the urban population. The complex of soil actinomycetes is more sustainable. Microbiological indices (lists of indicative species offungi) should be used for the monitoring of urban soils.

BACKGROUND Adolescence is the transitional phase of growth and development between childhood and adulthood. Menstruation, which is a milestone event in a girl's reproductive life begins during this period and it is also one of the major causes of stress in this stage. Adequate knowledge and good menstrual practices can help in addressing this stress and also in preventing reproductive tract infections to a great extent. This study tries to assess the awareness with regard to menstrual practice and its determinants among adolescent girls in a rural area of Central Kerala. The study also aims to explore the social taboos related to menstrual practices. METHODS This cross-sectional study was conducted at two high schools in Thrissur district of Central Kerala. The study methodology involved visiting the selected schools and questions about menstrual practices were put to students individually ensuring adequate privacy, with the aid of a semi-structured interview schedule. 196 adolescent girls participated in the study. The data was coded and entered into MS excel. Further analysis was done using the software SPSS 16.0 version. RESULTS The percentage of girls using sanitary pad is 32.1 %, clothes were used by 12.2 % girls, and 55.6 % used either cloth or sanitary pad. Most of them disposed their sanitary pads by burning them (75.6 %), but 16.3 % threw their pads / clothes in the general waste, some flushed them in the toilet (8.1 %). 64.3 % of them washed and exposed their undergarments in the sun but 35.7 % washed and kept them inside their house. 84.7 % of girls were aware about menstruation at the time of menarche. In 58.7 % of cases the source of information was their mother. Regarding social taboos during menstruation, the most common one was inability to attend social or religious functions during menstruation (76 %) followed by restrictions in going out (9.7 %), and 7.7 % in food preparation. 7 % of girls had to sleep in a corner of the room while they were menstruating. Maternal education, family income and awareness regarding menstruation had statistically significant association with usage of sanitary pads. CONCLUSIONS Majority of the adolescent girls had awareness regarding menstruation. However, there were some who followed less than ideal practices when it comes to disposal of sanitary napkins / clothes and care of undergarments. The wrong concepts like menstruation is a ‘disease of impurity’ and menstruation occurs when ‘bad blood’ collects is still prevalent among the adolescent girls. It is of concern that the social taboos regarding menstruation are still widely embraced by the society. KEYWORDS Menstrual Practices, Menstrual Awareness, Kerala, Menstruation

This paper focuses on the impacts of water stress on health outcomes. It specifically investigates the health effects of insufficiency of water for sanitary needs in drought-affected households. A focus group discussion that drew medical experts from such fields as medicine, virology, and microbiology was conducted to collect data. The findings of the study show that there is a possibility of vulnerability to negative health outcomes such as Cholera, Diarrhea, and respiratory problems by households that lack the necessary levels of water for domestic, sanitation, and hygiene uses. It is therefore important that individuals and households susceptible to the vagaries of drought be aware of this relationship so that they may forge necessary adaptive measures such as the use of purifiers, hand and surface sanitizers, and disinfectants to mitigate the health effects of a drought that are related to inadequate water use for sanitary purposes.

Introduction: Self-isolation during the COVID-19 pandemic is a temporary measure to limit the spread of infection. All citizens arriving from abroad to Russia must comply with the rules of self-isolation. Since April 2, 2020, almost all citizens of the Russian Federation have followed the rules of self-isolation. Also, this month in the Russian capital, Moscow, about 6 million citizens have isolated themselves. In general, in the territory of Russia, the number of citizens on self-isolation reached 100 million. Billions of citizens around the world are staying at home due to the self-isolation regime, so a sanitary assessment must be considered. Self-isolation, characterized by physical inactivity, hypoxia, diet disturbances, lifestyle changes during work / rest, mental stress; this provides an opportunity to identify the presence of public health risk factors and contributes to an increase in the incidence of No Communicable Diseases (NCDs). Purpose of the Study: Carrying out a sanitary-hygienic assessment of COVID-19 self-isolation, determining priority risk factors causing non-infectious diseases, and proposing preventive measures. Objectives: To Identify public health risk factors during self-isolation. To conduct a comprehensive hygienic assessment of self-isolation according to the priority criteria. To develop a pointing system (hygiene index for self-isolation). To propose measures to minimize health risks during self-isolation. Materials and Methods: We used analytical, and systematization approaches. Information from the legal documents of the hygienic-sanitary laws of the Government of the Russian Federation (nutrition hygiene, hygiene of workforce, children, and teenagers). World Health Organization COVID-19 documents. Research Results: We assessed the sanitary-hygienic aspects of self-isolation to identify the leading risk factors on public health, and as a result, we proposed hygienic criteria for self-isolation. We developed a hygienic self-isolation index point score (HSIPS) that considers the Russian law-based requirements for diet, work, rest, and physical activities. Thus, the usage of those hygienic standards is beneficial to prevent public health risks in ordinary and extremely challenging conditions of self-isolation. We proposed measures to minimize risks during self-isolation, and we based them on adequate sanitary-hygienic standards. The main sanitary-hygienic risk factors of self-isolation are: sedentary lifestyle, hypoxia, nutritional deficiencies (malnutrition), and work/rest imbalance. Conclusion: We proposed a sanitary-hygienic definition of self-isolation. We identified leading risk factors for public health of the self-isolated population. We proposed sanitary-hygienic criteria for assessing self-isolation based on the regulations and standards of the Government of the Russian Federation. We developed a hygienic self-isolation index point score (HSIPS), which determines that the optimal mode is directly proportional to the coefficients of a person’s physical activity (D), indoor area (air cubic capacity) per isolated (S), time spent in fresh air (T) and inversely proportional to the calorie intake. We proposed measures to prevent noncommunicable diseases (NCD) for citizens on self-isolation.

Full textAbstract:
Entamoeba histolyticainfections are endemic in the Indian subcontinent. Five to eight percent of urban population residing under poor sanitary conditions suffers fromEntamoebainfections. Metronidazole is the most widely prescribed drug used for amoebiasis. In order to understand the impact of metronidazole stress on the parasite, we evaluated the expression of two antioxidant enzymes, peroxiredoxin and FeSOD, inEntamoeba histolyticaisolates during metronidazole stress. The results reveal that, under metronidazole stress, the mRNA expression levels of these enzymes did not undergo any significant change. Interestingly, immunolocalization studies with antibodies targeting peroxiredoxin indicate differential localization of the protein in the cell during metronidazole stress. In normal conditions, all theEntamoebaisolates exhibit presence of peroxiredoxin in the nucleus as well as in the membrane; however with metronidazole stress the protein localized mostly to the membrane. The change in the localization pattern was more pronounced when the cells were subjected to short term metronidazole stress compared to cells adapted to metronidazole. The protein localization to the cell membrane could be the stress response mechanism in these isolates. Colocalization pattern of peroxiredoxin with CaBp1, a cytosolic protein, revealed that the membrane and nuclear localization was specific to peroxiredoxin during metronidazole stress.

Full textAbstract:
This paper presents the analysis of an embankment failure over a soft clay deposit in the district of Caju, Rio de Janeiro. The uncommon feature of the analysis is related to the embankment's material, which is mainly composed of dumped sanitary and rubble fill, and the unconsolidated state of the subjacent clay layer. Index tests were performed to obtain geotechnical characteristics and a profile of the soft clay deposit, which were compared with a well-known Brazilian clay from the same area (Guanabara Bay). Oedometer tests, in situ and laboratory vane tests, standard penetration tests, and conventional triaxial tests were also carried out. Total stress calculations were used to interpret and back analyze the failure and also to obtain the mobilized shear strength at both the fill and clay foundation. It was concluded that for an embankment cohesion of 0–20 kPa, the ratio between the back-analyzed Cu and the in situ postfailure Cu has a magnitude similar to the soft clay sensitivity. Key words: case history, sanitary fill, soft clay.

Full textAbstract:
ABSTRACTDomestic interiors created during the Aesthetic Movement have often been interpreted in terms of the ideas of aesthetic autonomy associated with Théophile Gautier, Walter Pater and Joris-Karl Huysmans. This essay takes a different tack by analysing the aesthetic interior in light of concerns with health reform. It focuses on the writings and designs of architect E.W. Godwin (1833–86) who pursued interior design as part of an effort to foster a healthy life, one that consisted of hygiene, relief from urban stress, and an enlargement of the aesthetic responsiveness of his clients. He conceived of spare and calm interiors that were healthful alternatives to dust-infested Victorian clutter while concomitantly offering psychological respite from the ‘high-pressure, nervous times’ endemic to metropolitan life. This goal accords with Godwin's related interest in dress reform, a preoccupation that led to his participation in the Health Exhibition of 1884. By unpacking Godwin's specific contribution to the sanitary discussions that prevailed in Victorian Britain, I align the aesthetic interior with the central imperative of sanitary reform: promoting health through ameliorating Britain's urban environment.

Introduction Numerous studies on the early contact between mother and the baby and the time they spend together-common stay stress the fact that these are invaluable for the mothers, infants, family and society in general. The objective of the research. The objective of the research was to establish whether mother benefits from the early contact with her baby and the importance of the time period they spend and share together. Materials and methods The study group consisted of 216 mothers that spend the time with their babies and had the early contact with the babies as well, and the control group consisted of 216 mothers that were detached from their babies. Puerpera were observed in the aspects of the uterus involution, post delivery hemogramme on the third day after the childbirth, sanitary napkin consumption and the hospitalization length. Results For the study group the following was significant: less of the bad uterus involution, less of the post delivery anemia measured in the hemoglobin values and in the number of erythrocytes, less of the sanitary napkin consumption and the shorter hospitalization length. Discussion The early contact and the time spent with their babies after the childbirth influence the less blood loss analyzed by post delivery hemogramme, better uterus involution, less of the sanitary napkin consumption analyzed in the first three days after the childbirth and the shorter hospitalization length. The positive component of the breastfeeding oxytocic reflex is probably responsible for these effects. Conclusion Puerpera benefit from the early contact and the time spent with their babies.

Background: Stress incontinence affects 25–60% of women of all ages and causes constant discomfort, significantly lowering quality of life. The most common causes of urinary incontinence are weakened sphincter muscles or bladder failure. Aim of the study: The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of therapeutic massage therapy for stress urinary incontinence and to determine whether therapeutic massage can restore the normal function of the bladder sphincters. Material and methods: The study involved eleven women with a diagnosis of primary stress urinary incontinence, aged 50–79 years. The women attended therapeutic massage sessions twice a week for four weeks. A sanitary pad test was performed before starting and immediately after ending the therapy to verify its effectiveness. Results: In eight women, the amount of urine that leaked decreased after therapy. This result was statistically significant (p = 0.02). In three cases, urine leakage was reduced to zero. Conclusions: Therapeutic massage, acting locally, improves the function of the bladder sphincters, their flexibility and the ability to contract and relax. Massage eliminates or significantly reduces the symptoms of stress urinary incontinence.

This article presents the results of research on the wastes of sanitary ceramics as an aggregate to concretes. The case of high temperature load was taken into account. Six concrete mixes were designed on Portland and calcium aluminate cement with various content of aerating admixture. Only the ground waste ceramics were used as an aggregate from one of the Polish sanitary ceramics plants. The abrasion test by Boehme blade of the designed concrete was conducted within the frame of study and compression strength tests on the cylindrical samples were performed as well. Some samples were initially annealed at 400 or 800 °C prior to strength tests. In order to determine the impact of annealing on the phase content and the concrete sample structure, the analyses on phase content (XRD—X-ray diffraction) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were conducted. The tests on compression strength demonstrated that there is considerable resistance of concrete containing ceramic aggregate and calcium aluminate cement to high temperatures. Abrasion tests confirmed that selected mixes have a high resistance to abrasion and they can be applied as a concrete coating. The possibility of ceramic cullet use as an aggregate to special concretes has been confirmed by the conducted research on specific features. Taking into consideration the available literature, the article presents widely conducted research in the area of the internal structure of concrete designed on the basis of recycled ceramic aggregate, the phase content of individual components, and basic mechanical tests both in normal temperatures and under thermal stress.

Background: Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are used in industrial applications as catalysts, sanitary materials, and health supplements. Generally, AgNPs have shown cytotoxicity such as cell membrane damage. However, the mechanisms of their toxicity have not been completely elucidated. Methods: The cellular effects (cell viability, induction of chemokine and cellular oxidative stress) of two AgNP water suspensions (AgNP-A for cosmetic application and AgNP-B for industrial application) on epithelial-like A549 cells and macrophage-like differentiated THP-1 (dTHP-1) cells were examined. Results: AgNPs caused enhancement of IL-8 expression and oxidative stress. The cellular uptake of AgNP-A cells was observed. However, the cellular uptake of AgNP-B into A549 cells was hardly observed. Moreover, the intracellular Ag level was increased by AgNP suspensions exposure. Cell viability was not affected by AgNP suspensions exposure. Conclusions: AgNPs induce chemokine expression and cellular oxidative stress on culture cells. The intracellular Ag level may be important for these cellular effects.

The COVID-19 pandemic has provoked generalized uncertainty around the world, with health workers experiencing anxiety, depression, burnout, insomnia, and stress. Although the effects of the pandemic on mental health may change as it evolves, the majority of reports have been web-based, cross-sectional studies. We performed a study assessing acute stress in frontline health workers during two consecutive epidemic waves. After screening for trait anxiety/depression and dissociative experiences, we evaluated changes in acute stress, considering resilience, state anxiety, burnout, depersonalization/derealization symptoms, and quality of sleep as cofactors. During the first epidemic wave (April 2020), health workers reported acute stress related to COVID-19, which was related to state anxiety. After the first epidemic wave, acute stress decreased, with no increase during the second epidemic wave (December 2020), and further decreased when vaccination started. During the follow-up (April 2020 to February 2021), the acute stress score was related to bad quality of sleep. However, acute stress, state anxiety, and burnout were all related to trait anxiety/depression, while the resilience score was invariant through time. Overall, the results emphasize the relevance of mental health screening before, during, and after an epidemic wave of infections, in order to enable coping during successive sanitary crises.

An FBG sensor on a workpiece is strained simultaneously with the workpiece to measure force based on the strain degree. A workpiece with a high Young’s modulus decrease strain, compromising sensor measurement resolution. Our proposal, discussed and evaluated in the sections that follow, solves these problems of temperature compensation and measurement resolution. The trial device we fabricated amplifies strain to enhance measurement resolution. We measured FBG sensor performance by applying compressive and tensile stress longitudinally on the trial device and determined, based on measurement results, that strain was amplified. We also confirmed that FBG sensormeasurement corresponded linearly to the compressive and tensile stress of 0-3 N. The trial device we fabricated filtered bending and torsional stress – excluding tensile and compressive stress – applied to the workpiece and confirmed device effectiveness in suppressing bending and torsional stress. Our trial device for temperature compensation solves the problems of the FBG sensor within a small, lightweight package.

Full textAbstract:
The present paper systematizes the results of the research on the effect of wheatgrass juice administration on some important indicators in assessing the physiological state of two summer-old Cyprinus carpio individuals coming from a recirculating system, as well as on some biochemical parameters with role in the antioxidant defensive. For this, an experiment was carried out over a period of 56 days, which consist in growth of 200 carp specimens, with an initial average weight of 72.85�1.79 g/specimen. Observations carried out during the entire monitoring period of the experimental variants emphasized a good sanitary status of the studied specimens, accompanied by an active feeding behavior. The results on the activity of oxidative stress enzymes and malon-dialdehyde concentration emphasized significant differences between the treated variants with wheatgrass juice and the control variant, closely related to the wheat juice concentration with which the food ration was supplemented.

Full textAbstract:
The authors analyze the use of sanitary logging to commit forestry crimes in Russia, placing a special emphasis on regional trends. They study how the situation with illegal logging has been changing since the adoption of the new Forest Code of the Russian Federation, describe the specific features of forest health-improvement measures (sanitary logging) and their influence on the size of the shadow sector in the timber industry, pay attention to the consequences of adopting rule-making initiatives in the forestry sector by the end of 2018. It is proven that since 2017 (the introduction of the new Forest Code) the structure of illegal loggers changed a lot, while the active rule-making work by federal and regional authorities was aimed at widening the opportunities for abuses in the forest sector. The authors present their opinion regarding the quality of the package of bylaws that develop the clauses of the Forest Code in the sphere of sanitary logging. It is noted that a large number of such bylaws led to the problem of their coordination not only with the existing normative base, but also with each other. Besides, some clauses of these bylaws allow for their deliberate interpretation, which leads to the overstatement of the number of trees and the volume of timber stand to be logged. The authors discuss a number of controversial norms that make it possible to increase the areas of clear cutting. Forest legislation is extremely conservative. It is supported by the fact that the goals that the introduced norms intend to obtain are sometimes reached years later. It is beneficial when different amendments are introduced with the aim of improving the condition of the forests rather than contribute to the growth of corruption in the forest sector. The results of such lawmaking are analyzed using the specific examples of forestries in Irkutsk Region in the past two years (2017–2018). The authors stress that it is necessary to eliminate the identified drawbacks in the legislative regulation of sanitary logging as one of the key elements in the development of the measures of special prevention of criminal activities in the timber industrial complex.

Full textAbstract:
Chitosan is a biopolymer with various favorable properties (biotic/abiotic stress mitigation, qualitative improvement, bio-fertilizer, bio-stimulant and postharvest management) to meet multiple agricultural objectives. Grapevine is an important crop and has an enormous impact on the world’s economy due to its derived products, notably the different wine styles. In viticulture, chitosan application made significant developments towards higher contents of beneficial metabolites in grape berries as well as stress and postharvest management during recent decades, although the reports are limited. Recent investigations by our group demonstrated chitosan as a potential elicitor molecule at a molecular level and opened the possibility to use chitosan for trunk disease management; moreover, there are not yet any methods to combat trunk diseases in grapevine. The present viewpoint aimed to summarize the different aspects of chitosan application in grapevine in facilitating the development of inclusive and more integrated sanitary viticulture practices in a sustainable manner.

Full textAbstract:
Phytoremediation is an emerging green technology that uses plants to remediate environments contaminated with toxic materials. However, plants used for phytoremediation in the leachate channel of a sanitary landfill must be harvested and recycled to prevent re-release of contaminants during decomposition. Therefore, experiments were conducted to test the use of the harvested remediation macrophytes, <i>Phragmites australis</i> and <i>Typha angustifolia</i>, as composting material. Compost produced from these macrophytes significantly improved soil conditions, and, for plants grown in soil with macrophyte compost, their performance improved based on chlorophyll contents, a stress evaluation, and increase in biomass. Additionally, the bioaccumulation of contaminants was not high, with the concentrations of some elements even lower than those in the control. The decomposition rate of macrophytes in the semiarid condition of the landfill was slow, but, once composted, plant biomass was more applicable to soil. This macrophyte compost can then also be used as an economical substitute for the commercial barks currently used as co-composting material. Therefore, the composting of remediation macrophytes from the leachate channel of a sanitary landfill for application to soil will help in the sustainable management of both the leachate channels and the soils on the slopes.

Full textAbstract:
Epigenetics works as an interface between the individual and its environment to provide phenotypic plasticity to increase individual adaptation capabilities. Recently, a wide variety of epi-genetic findings have indicated evidence for its application in the development of putative epi-biomarkers of stress in farm animals. The purpose of this study was to evaluate previously reported stress epi-biomarkers in swine and encourage researchers to investigate potential paths for the development of a robust molecular tool for animal welfare certification. In this literature review, we report on the scientific concerns in the swine production chain, the management carried out on the farms, and the potential implications of these practices for the animals’ welfare and their epigenome. To assess reported epi-biomarkers, we identified, from previous studies, potentially stress-related genes surrounding epi-biomarkers. With those genes, we carried out a functional enrichment analysis of differentially methylated regions (DMRs) of the DNA of swine subjected to different stress-related conditions (e.g., heat stress, intrauterine insult, and sanitary challenges). We identified potential epi-biomarkers for target analysis, which could be added to the current guidelines and certification schemes to guarantee and certify animal welfare on farms. We believe that this technology may have the power to increase consumers’ trust in animal welfare.

Full textAbstract:
The mental health challenges associated with the COVID-19 pandemic overwhelmingly affect the general population. Stress and health anxiety, the risk of losing a job and working at home, online education for children, and isolation have a devastating cumulative effect. This study aims to achieve the following: i) to identify the epidemiological specifics of the perceived stress levels in the general population during the COVID-19 pandemic; ii) to evaluate the correlation between socioeconomic factors and the level of perceived stress and anxiety; iii) to analyze the correlation between the perceived stress scores and the anxiety scores in the general population. We applied Perceived Stress Score (PSS) validated questionnaire and Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAM-A) online to a group of respondents (N=1.362), profiling the data based on demographics: age, sex, COVID-19 infection, behavior compliance to sanitary limitations, socioeconomic status, and pre-existing health issues. Results show differentiation of PSS values in female and male respondents; occupation significantly influences the perceived stress score among COVID-19 positive respondents. Educational level and income significantly influence the perceived stress score. Low educational level and low income increase the perceived stress score among negative COVID-19 respondents. Subsequent research is needed to clarify other correlations between the perceived stress levels and general population well-being. While certain life conditions enhance the perception of stress, others could provide protective value to demographic groups. Therefore, we suggest further studies and qualitative approaches to general population stress and anxiety during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Spore-forming bacteria are residents on the International space station (ISS) and can act as potential biodistructors of structural materials with a consequent disturbance of equipment operation. These bacteria demonstrate high resistance to many stress factors. Molecular mechanisms of this resistance are poorly understood. Sanitary/hygienic monitoring resulted in detection and isolation of strain Bacillus pumilus 25. The investigation was aimed to test B. pumilus 25 resistance to oxidative agents, antibiotics, and to analyze expression of genes associated with the cell response to DNA damage and hydrogen sulfide production. The strain was identified by sequencing 16S RNA and MALDI-TOF analysis. Resistance to stresses and antibiotics was tested with the use of standard microbiological methods. Level of mRNA genes was determined with the real-time polymerase chain reaction. Our results evidence for heightened B. pumilus 25 resistance to the oxidative stress and majority of the antibiotics used in the investigation. This resistance seems to be associated with high expression of the ku-ligD operon genes, and elevated production of hydrogen sulfide.

The work carried out the comparative evaluation of sanitary and hygienic working conditions of mining workers of breakage face and machinists of shearer mining machines of the SE "Lvivvuhillia". The technology of underground coal mining caused by the interconnected set of basic and auxiliary production processes of extraction and transportation of coal, as well as conducting appropriate preparatory works. The main mining occupations, without which it is impossible to carry out the coal mining cycle of works, include "mining worker of breakage face" (MWBF) and "machinist of shearer mining machines" (МSMM). The aim of the study was the estimation of the influence of sanitary and hygienic working conditions of MWBF and МSMM on the development of deforming arthrosis. The research evaluated the sanitary and hygienic working conditions of mining workers of breakage face and machinists of shearer mining machines of the SE "Lvivvuhillia" on the basis of the processed and generalized data of 40 sanitary and hygienic characteristics of labor activity (29 MWBF and 11 МSMM) for 2015-2017. The obtained data were compared with the normative values of the State Sanitary Norms and Regulations according to the Order № 248 dated from 08.04.2014 "Hygienic Classification of Labor on the Indicators of Hazard and Danger of the Factors of the Production Environment, the Severity and Stress of the Labor Process". Installed that the levels of the main production factors of the development of deforming arthrosis in the workplaces of miners of the main occupations exceeded the approved hygienic standards: moving cargo over a considerable distance (more than 5 meters) among МSMM - to 2072 kg/m, among MWBF - by 1.62 - to 28424 kg/m; lifting and moving goods among MWBF - by 2.2 heavier loads than norm (33 kg against 15 kg, respectively); the static load of miners was excessive among МSMM by 1.22, among MWBF - by 2.31 (122040 kg/f; 231220 kg/f, respectively, against the norm of 100000 kg/f); prolonged stay in a forced working position among МSMM - by 2.52 longer than norm (63 kg/f against 25 kg/f, respectively), among MWBF - by 3.40 (85 kg/f against 25 kg/f, respectively); MWBF were in the working position on the knees - by 6.5 longer than norm (65 kg/f against 10 kg/f, respectively), МSMM - by 2,6 (26 kg/f against 10 kg/f, respectively). So, the mining and geological characteristic of deposits of the Lviv-Volyn coal basin promotes the creation of dangerous working conditions for miners of the main occupations, causing the risk of development of musculoskeletal system pathology, including deforming arthrosis. The main risk factors of development of deforming arthrosis among the miners of these occupations are defined such factors of the production environment as: the severity and intensity of the labor process.

The unresolved problem of quail is feed stress and high sensitivity of poultry of this species to feed quality. To eliminate such consequences it is possible with the use of various biologically active feed additives. However, their introduction into the diet automatically raises questions about the quality and safety of the products for the consumer. The purpose of the research is to conduct a veterinary and sanitary assessment of the quality of quail meat for feeding NDC. The purpose of the research is to conduct a veterinary and sanitary assessment of the quality of quail meat for feeding NDC. The object of study were the quails of the Pharaoh breed, at the age of 24 were divided into two groups: experimental and control 30 heads each. The birds were kept in cages with free access to food and water. Quails of the experimental group were added to drinking water feed additive "Nanocerium" at a dose of 8.6 mg per liter of drinking water. Nanocerium feed additive is an aqueous dispersion of NDC with average nanoparticle sizes of 2–7 nm. Antemortem examination of quails of both groups revealed a satisfactory clinical condition of birds. The average weight of the gut carcass of quails of the experimental group was higher by 8.3% compared to the control. Examination of 20 carcasses of quails showed that they can be classified as first class. According to organoleptic parameters, quail meat is of good quality in veterinary and sanitary terms. Microbiological studies of quail meat indicate no effect of NDC in the applied doses on its bacterial contamination. Chemical parameters of meat (pH, aminoammonia nitrogen, volatile fatty acids during storage in the refrigerator) (5 days, t = 4–5 ° C) tended to increase and were within the normal range for fresh product. Tissue in quails of both groups was not detected. The biological value of quail meat in both groups was identical and no toxicity. Tasting evaluation of the broth and meat showed that NDC did not affect the studied taste. The obtained results show that the quails that received the feed additive "Nanocerium" with water according to the indicators of veterinary and sanitary examination are of good quality, which allows to use it in human food without restrictions. Key words: poultry, nanocerium, organoleptic evaluation, microbial contamination, biological value, tasting evaluation.

The article presents an analysis of the results of the veterinary and sanitary examination of pig carcasses. A conclusion is given on the suitability of the presented meat samples for consumption, as well as issues related to the peculiarities of veterinary examination of pig slaughter products for diseases of non-infectious etiology in the conditions of ОАО “Velikoluksky Meat Processing Plant”. Pathological changes in the products of pig slaughter caused by non-infectious diseases were detected after the internal organs were interned. In total, in May 2021 the slaughter products of 962 carcasses of pigs supplied to the slaughterhouse by healthy animals were examined. Mostly 6-8 month old gilts were slaughtered. During the observation period, various pathological conditions were revealed in the slaughter products of the pig herd. Analysis of digital material shows that the most common non-infectious pathology in pigs is pulmonary pathology, which was detected in 176 animals, which is 18.3% of the number studied. We associate the identification of a significant number of pigs with this pathology with long-term transportation. These animals need rest to prevent transport stress, but this is not provided in the conditions of the slaughterhouse. The nature of stress is indicated by such a pathological condition as a stomach ulcer, which was detected in pigs in 134 cases (12.3%). Diseases of the genitourinary system (nephritis) are registered next in the incidence of non-infectious pathology, which in total make up 11.11%. To a lesser extent, veterinary examination of pig slaughter products revealed such pathological processes, as kidney cysts (8.8%), peritonitis (9.3%) and liver cirrhosis (9%). The most common non-infectious pathology in pigs is pulmonary, which accounts for 18.3% of the studied slaughter products. Indicators of pre-slaughter weight of pigs and postslaughter weight of carcasses and organs of pigs with non-infectious pathology are significantly lower than in clinically healthy animals. According to the research results, it was found that the safety indicators in the studied meat samples correspond to the established standards.

ABSTRACT Seed treatment with fungi of the genus Trichoderma spp. provides several benefits, including plant growth promotion, stress tolerance, and pathogenic fungi control. Moreover, to avoid inadequate doses and unnecessary costs, these treatments must be applied in proper amounts. However, no study has evaluated their applicability in wheat seeds. This study aimed to determine the most efficient dose of Trichoderma-based products applied as a seed treatment for improving the physiological and sanitary quality of the wheat cultivars TBIO ‘Toruk’ and TBIO ‘Sossego’, besides comparing the performance of biological and chemical agents. Two biological treatments (Trichoderma asperellum SF 04 and Trichoderma harzianum IBLF006) were applied at 0 (control), 5 × 10 11 , 1 × 10 12 , 1.5 × 10 12 , and 2 × 10 12 colony-forming units (CFU) 100 kg–1 seed. Two chemical treatments (carboxin + thiram and pyraclostrobin + thiophanate-methyl + fipronil) were applied at the manufacturers’ recommended doses. Seed germination, shoot and root lengths, seedling dry matter, and sanitary quality were analyzed under laboratory conditions, while seedling emergence, shoot length, and shoot dry matter were analyzed under greenhouse conditions. The optimal dose for wheat seed treatment with T. asperellum SF 04 and T. harzianum IBLF006 was 2 × 10 12 CFU 100 kg–1 seed. When comparing biological and chemical products, our findings indicate that both options are adequate for managing wheat diseases and providing seedling growth via seed treatment.

Full textAbstract:
The idea of utilizing a micro-perforated PTFE(polytetrafluoroethylene) mould to manufacture paneer, cheese, and tofu was conceived and mould was designed, developed and tested. The micro-perforated PTFE mould is intended to work at temperature 65 to 110ºC, 200 kPa inside pressure. This new generation pressing mould contains micro perforations of 300μmdiameter which are drilled using advanced high precision 4 and 3axis CNC machines. There will be failure (due to induced hoop stress) in the mould when Von Mises(equivalent) stress generated is more than yield stress of virgin PTFE (30 MPa). Wall thickness of mould was optimized by Finite Element Analysis (FEA) by hyper tetrahedron meshing using ANSYS- 22. The results obtained from stress analysis were expressed as Von Mises stress, deformation and factor of safety. A design software developed by ASME was employed to validate shell thickness. The model prediction was shown to be in good agreement with the analytical calculation. Micro-perforated PTFE mould was fabricated as per FDA, c-GMP standards from 6.00 mm thick virgin PTFE material. The FEA resulted in Von Mises Stress of 14.7 MPa, deformation of 2.1535×10-10 m and factor of safety of 2.04. The working drawings were developed and actual fabrication was carried out adopting the prescribed sanitary standards. Satisfactory production of paneer was carried out in the newly designed and developed PTFE paneer mould resulted in excellent quality product.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Balantidium coli is a commensal protozoan that infects several animals, but it has pigs as its natural reservoir. In the presence of predisposing factors, B. coli can become pathogenic for swine, causing enteric lesions. Infections determined by this protozoan may be a risk to public health, due to dysentery in animal keepers and veterinarians. This study aimed to determine the occurrence of infection by B. coli in pigs of distinct husbandry categories, as well as unlike physiological state, kept in farms with different hygienic-sanitary standards, located in the central region of Rio Grande do Sul State in Brazil.Materials, Methods & Results: Stool samples were collected from 12 different farms with different hygienic-sanitary standards being four farms of finisher pigs (G1; n = 287), four farms with pregnant females (G2; n = 60) and four farms with lactation sows (G3; n = 40), and all samples were submitted to coproparasitological analyses to verify the presence of cysts or trophozoites of B. coli. The infection levels were considered mild (1-100 cyst/trophozoite), moderate (101300 cyst/trophozoite) and high (>300 cysts/trophozoite). In addition, information about hygienic-sanitary conditions of each farm was collected. The occurrence of B. coli infection in all swine stool samples analyzed was 60.9% (236/387); however, in G1, G2 and G3 was 54.7% (157/287), 91.7% (55/60) and 65% (26/40) respectively. There was significant difference in the occurrence of G1 (P < 0.05) except between farms B and C (67.9% and 56.6% respectively). There was also a significant difference (P < 0.05) between the occurrence of B. coli found in G2 and G3. The infection levels were considered predominantly mild in G1; and mild to moderate in G2 and G3.Discussion: In this research it was confirmed the presence of B. coli in swine farms located in the central region of Rio Grande do Sul State in Brazil. This area is known as being an important producer of pigs in Brazil. The results obtained in this study, demonstrated that swine farms with better hygienic and sanitary standards, had mild infections by B. coli. However, the presence of intestinal parasites, especially protozoa, can occur even in properties with good management practices. However, protozoa infections can cause important production losses, especially when associated with other pathogens or nutritional problems. The occurrence of B. coli observed in pregnant (G2) and lactating (G3) females was significant, and the infection level was mild to moderate. These conditions suggest that pregnancy, childbirth and lactation are critical stages for females, mainly due to physiological stress, resulting in a change in the hormonal levels and immune status of the animals. Thus, these factors cause declines in the immune response of pigs making them susceptible to infections and the increase of cyst excretion of B. coli in feces. The abundance of protozoan cysts in feces contaminates the environment and increases the risk of infections in humans. In addition, it was demonstrated the occurrence of B. coli in an important site of swine production in RS, Brazil. B. coli is related to the physiological state of the animals and the hygienic and sanitary management in different categories of swine. In conclusion, this study highlights the epidemiological importance of swine as natural reservoir of Balantidium coli and the risk potential of infection to animals and humans. Additionally, sanitary program in farming pigs must be improved in order to guarantee healthy and food-safe product for consumers.

The article analyzes main mechanisms of the relationship between the Catholic Church and believers in Italy in the context of the coronavirus crisis. The author concludes that Italy has showed itself as a country in which, despite the processes of secularization, the religious feeling is still alive. Interest in the «message» of the Vatican testifies to the preservation of the trust of the Church among the majority of Italian Catholics, including those who were disappointed with her position at certain stages of the pandemic. This was facilitated by the fact that the Catholic Church avoided association with the authorities of order and sanitary authorities, accepting the necessary, but not allowed lary measures of supervision and restrictions. The program of pastoral and psychotherapeutic assistance offered by the Italian Episcopal Conference undoubtedly contributed to the strengthening of the authority of the Church in extraordinary circumstances. It also seems that the techniques of psychological rehabilitation for victims of covid – narrative and storytelling – will be developed as an effective way of communication between believers in post-covid Europe.

Full textAbstract:
Reproductive characteristics at high altitude are described based on the reproductive histories of 720 Aymara women, collected in 1998 and 1999 in a group of twelve peasant communities at a mean altitude of 4000 m in the Bolivian Altiplano. The reproductive pattern is shaped by a late onset of childbearing, associated with a rather short reproductive span and large birth intervals. Environmental conditions could explain the particularly late age at menarche of rural girls compared with their urban counterparts, whereas the age at first birth is likely to be under cultural control. The short reproductive span appears to result from a large mean interval between last birth and menopause, which is essentially determined by cultural decisions. The birth intervals, which are longer than in many traditional societies, could be the result of a slower restoration of postpartum fecundability induced by the hard way of life inherent in the Altiplano (including poor sanitary and nutritional conditions and high workload), perhaps aggravated by hypoxia. However, a secular trend in fertility is perceptible, towards earlier menarche, earlier age at first birth, increasing reproductive span and a slight increase in live births and surviving offspring, which is probably the result of a slow improvement in living conditions. The existence of birth control on the one hand, and a total fertility rate averaging six live births among the couples who do not practise contraception on the other, are other arguments against the hypothesis of a low natural fecundity in these Aymara groups.

Sport activity are associated with significant physical and psychological stress and determine the relevance of monitoring the conditions for sports, studying the health of athletes and their regime. The purpose of the study: to study the sanitary and hygienic conditions in sports schools, the features of the daily routine and lifestyle of young athletes and their psycho-emotional state. Materials and methods. The analysis includes data from a study of 70 girls aged 13–15 who are engaged in rhythmic gymnastics. We used methods of sanitary and hygienic research, questionnaires, methods for identifying the level of situational and personal anxiety (Spielberger C. D.) and competitive anxiety (R. Martens), a questionnaire for studying one’s own reaction to stressful events (Greenberg). Results. The number of violations of sanitary and hygienic requirements for the conditions of sports activities have been identified. The most common violations of the day-lack of sleep and stay in the fresh air, a high amount of training load. Moderate personal anxiety was detected in 76 % of athletes, 7 % of respondents — low anxiety, 17 % — high personal anxiety. A high level of reactive anxiety was detected in 24 % of female athletes, and high-level sports anxiety was observed in 25 % of those surveyed. The relationship between the severity of violations of hygiene standards and the level of manifestation of personal and reactive anxiety was Revealed. The age dynamics for all diagnosed types of anxiety was revealed: higher rates of anxiety were observed in the age group of 13 years compared to 14 and 15-year-old athletes. Conclusion. The results of the study showed the need for dynamic monitoring of the state of health, including psycho-emotional state of athletes, allocation of athletes with pronounced errors in the regime to observation groups, carrying out preventive measures to explain the importance of compliance with hygiene rules and monitoring and assistance in their implementation in the lifestyle of young athletes.

The article provides data on the effectiveness of St. John's wort punctured under stress in pigs during the first to third months of their cultivation. In a pilot farm in which studies were carried out, inadequate sanitary and hygienic and zootechnical conditions for feeding and keeping pigs were identified. Under such conditions, animals are exposed to a range of stressors. Stress leads to the depletion of animals and the development of a general adaptation syndrome, which is manifested by changes in behavior, their hormonal status and, especially, the development of immunodeficiency conditions. This causes the development of alimentary anemia, delayed growth and development, reduced appetite, the development of dyspepsia, gastroenteritis and bronchopneumonia, which brings significant losses to the pig industry. To investigate the effect of the Deprim phytopreparation, which contains an extract of St. John's wort grass, clinically healthy piglets-weeds of large white breed at the age of 60 days were selected according to the principle of para-analogues, which were ill with dyspepsia in newborn age. The animals were divided into three experimental and control groups of 7 heads (n = 7) so that the average weight was not statistically different between the groups. Objectification of phytopreparation influence was performed based on results of determination of body weight gain and average daily gain, hematological and biochemical values of animals blood. It has been shown that the use of phytopreparation by piglets in two courses at a dose of 5, 10 and 15 mg/kg w. m. contributed to a positive effect on the nonspecific resistance of the body, productivity and their preservation. This is evidenced by the determination of body weight increases and average daily increases, as well as hematological indicators of animal blood.

Introduction: Currently, we are going through an exceptional sanitary crisis due to the appearance of SARS-COV2, the containment being an act of social distancing is taken as a preventive measure to decrease the spread of the virus. It is undeniable that the COVID-19 pandemic affects not only physical health but also mental health and well-being. The objective of our study is to evaluate the impact of the virus in the general population in Morocco, including stress and sleep disorders. Methodology: To develop this work, we used an anonymous questionnaire based on, in addition to individual status and conditions, scales assessing stress and sleep. The PSS-10 (Cohen's Perceived Stress Scale) for perceived stress and ISI (C. Morin's Insomnia Severity Index) for sleep disorders were chosen. Results: We collected 1240 participants, the median age of our participants is 29 years (25-34), with a female predominance of 89.5%. Most of our participants at this stage would have already known someone who had not already contracted the virus with a percentage of 71.7%. Regarding the evaluation of perceived stress, 66% had moderate stress, 16% had mild stress and 13.70% had severe stress. For sleep, 34.7% would have had mild insomnia, 32.3% moderate insomnia, 9% severe insomnia and 24% would not have had insomnia. Female gender, being divorced, living in a rural area, and knowing someone close to you who has had the virus were found to be factors influencing perceived stress. For insomnia, being 18 to 29 years old and female increases the risk of insomnia. Conclusion: The assessment of perceived stress and sleep disturbances concluded that there was a clear impact of the pandemic on the lives of the general population in Morocco.

Full textAbstract:
The use of hydraulic conductivity (k) of soil material as the sole basis for sanitary landfill liner design is reviewed. On one hand, k measurements obtained in the laboratory often vary by several orders of magnitude. On the other, laboratory-measured k values fail to address field behavior, where crack formation before and (or) during landfill operation may control the bulk permeability.A synaerisis shrinkage test (SST) to study the soil shrinkage caused by municipal solid waste (MSW) leachates is introduced. Leachates cause soil shrinkage by reducing interparticle repulsive stresses thereby increasing effective stress. The effective stress concept and double layer theory adequately describe the synaerisis shrinkage phenomenon. A strong correlation was obtained between percent strain, the soil–liquid parameter determined from SST results, and a volume change parameter (free swell difference, FSD) from sedimentation test results. The results provide a basis for a broader approach to landfill liner design. The SST, which supplies information on both volume shrinkage and permeability changes caused by leachate, provides a useful laboratory procedure for evaluating liner materials. Key words: clay liners, shrinkage, leachate, synaerisis, hydraulic conductivity.

Evaluation of the physiological state of cattle is crucial in creating healthy, high-performing dairy cattle herds. Technological stress is one of the most critical factors determining the biological potential of higher-yielding cows. This work aimed to assess the effect of technological stress on various oxidative parameters and mitochondrial states in dairy cows' blood, milk yield and milk composition. The study was conducted on the black-and-white breed of healthy herds. Regrouping, changing service personnel, and carrying out veterinary and sanitary manipulations were considered technological stress factors. The concentration of cortisol in the blood serum was studied by the immunological method. The concentrations of malonic dialdehyde (MDA), diene conjugates (D.C.), Schiff bases (S.B.), reduced glutathione and catalase activity were measured spectrophotometrically. The mitochondrial state was estimated by laser interference microscopy. While the milk yield, protein and lipid composition of cow milk were studied using an ultrasound analyzer. The researched indicators were analyzed before and for 30 days after the effect of technological stress. Results of the study suggested that technological stress caused an increase in oxidative processes, along with a reduction of antioxidant activity of blood and milk at the initial stages of registration (1-7 days). The concentration of glutathione remained reduced for 30 days after technological stress. A decrease in mitochondrial refractoriness and disintegration accompanied these processes. The milk yield indicator decreased was not restored to the values of intact animals by 30 days after technological stress. Further, the protein and lipid composition also reduced. Thus, a decrease in the quantity and quality of milk under technological stress may be mediated by the development of oxidative stress, which the refractoriness and disintegration of mitochondria might trigger.

Recreational fishing and other outdoor recreational activities have been proven to have positive effects on mental health, including neutralizing pandemic stress. This study aims to identify the perceptions and behavior of recreational anglers during the COVID-19 pandemic along with identifying the factors that determine attitudes. This study is essential for understanding the complex economic, social, and environmental implications associated with a pandemic. Perceptions of pandemic stress reduction were confirmed by 63.8% of anglers, and nearly 98% felt there was no risk of infection from fishing. These feelings were most strongly positively associated and explained by a preference for fishing with friends and family and the frequency of fishing. Over 26% of respondents fished more frequently during the pandemic. Additional free time and the need to escape the pandemic media hype were the main factors for the increase in angler activity. The balance of benefits from changes in angler pandemic behavior was ambiguous. This was determined by considering the potential increase in pressure on the environmental resources that anglers use. Given the positive effects of angling on stress reduction, it is not advisable for policymakers to restrict recreational fishing access. Instead, best management practices should reduce sanitary bottlenecks to increase safety on fishing grounds.

Modern concepts about the dynamics of states of servicemen following combat mental trauma are presented. Psychological mechanisms of the development of post-traumatic stress disorder are described. The results of psychological examination of servicemen-combatants are briefly summarized. It is shown that 40% of them have negative psychological consequences of combat stress in the form of signs of partial post-traumatic stress disorder, which correlate with manifestations of neurotic disorders. Signs of partial post-traumatic stress disorder in healthy military combatants reduce the self-assessment of the quality of life, but do not significantly affect the professional aspect of social functioning in favorable conditions, that does not allow to identify the presence of negative psychological consequences of combat stress by commander expert assessment.
In addition to the psychological examination, the servicemen underwent stress testing on the Rehacor hardware psychophysiological software complex, which consisted in the fact that the subject was alternately presented with stress stimuli consisting of video and audio sequences on the monitor screen and in headphones in accordance with a pre-compiled scenario. In the course of stress testing the physiological parameters of the subject were recorded. In military personnel with signs of partial post-traumatic stress disorder, a decrease in the threshold of sensitivity to stress was found, which in combat conditions can lead to the development of acute stress-induced mental disorders and to be the reason for the growth of violations, mistakes, the adoption of incorrect operational and tactical decisions, the demoralization of personnel, the growth of sanitary and irretrievable losses and losses of military equipment and weapons.
Based on the physiological parameters obtained during stress testing, a method for diagnosing signs of partial post-traumatic disorder has been developed. This method makes it possible to objectify the identification of the negative psychological consequences of combat stress and can be used in the interests of psychological and psychiatric intelligence.
