DYNAMICS OF THE NUMBER OF PERSONS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS LIVING IN ZAKARPATTIA OBLAST, UKRAINE

The aim: To study and analyze indicators of the number of persons with special needs living in Transcarpathian region of Ukraine: disabled persons, orphans and children deprived of parental care. Materials and methods: National statistical reports on the disability of the population, the number of orphans and children deprived of parental care for the period 2010-2019. Statistical method was applied in the course of study. Results: Analysis of the dynamics of the number of persons with special needs in Transcarpathian region for the period 2010-2019 showed an increase of the number of disabled persons by 27% with 75415 persons, 6826 disabled children, 2125 orphans and children deprived of parental care. The number of orphans and children deprived of parental care residing in the region have a tendency to reduce and in the year 2019 equals to 2125 orphans and children deprived of parental care.This requires improving of the system of social and medical care for persons with special needs for adults with the formation of a system of provision of services in accordance with the actual needs of the population with the maximum approximation of the service to the place of residence of the client with the maximum use of opportunities of the united territorial communities. Conclusions: The growth of the number of persons with special needs in Transcarpathian region and directly of the persons with disabilities with the tendency to reduce the number of orphans and children deprived of parental care is established.

A Review of Species Diversity, Distribution and Ecology of Freshwater Gastropod Molluscs Inhabiting the Ukrainian Transcarpathian

Abstract The diversity of freshwater gastropods recorded in the Transcarpathian Region of Ukraine is reviewed and comments on their distribution and ecology are provided. Thirty-five species were revealed in samples collected from the lowland and mountainous parts of the Ukrainian Transcarpathia. Three species are recorded for the first time in the regional fauna: Viviparus sphaeridius, Bithynia troschelii and Segmentina montgazoniana. For species found in the region brief remarks on the biotopes in which they were registered and relevant taxonomic comments are given. The most distinctive features of the mollusc fauna of Ukrainian Transcarpathia are considered; the presence as well as the absence of some taxa in comparison with adjacent regions is discussed. The results of our observations confirm that the distribution of gastropod species depends on the types of waterbodies and their altitude location. The presented data contribute to the knowledge of the regional malacofauna and should help to assess the biogeographic status of the Transcarpathian Region more clearly.

The First Record of a Chigger Mite of the Genus Neotrombicula (Acariformes: Trombiculidae) in the Northwest of European Russia

A chigger mite species, Neotrombicula absoluta Schluger, 1966, previously known only from its type locality in Transcarpathian Region of Ukraine, was found in the vicinity of Kurgolovo Village (Kingisepp District, Leningrad Province, Russia). A single specimen of this species was collected off the common shrew Sorex araneus L. This is the first record of the genus Neotrombicula (which includes the most usual causative agents of trombiculiasis of humans and domestic animals in Europe) in the northwestern part of European Russia.

The development of principles for determining the number of passengers carried by narrow gauge railway and the income of their transportation

Challenges and future directions of tourism development in Ukraine, as well as the experience of travel by rail are overviewed in the article.It was revealed that transport in Ukraine is in disrepair in continuous underfunding of the state railways, the rolling stock is on the verge of overaged, level of service does not meet European requirements.To overcome the crisis it is need to introduce new services for railway and interested investors to invest in these new areas. One of the new services offered to introduce in railways, given the positive experience of foreign countries, is the railway tourism.The scheme of tourist flows in the Transcarpathian region of Ukraine was developed. The main flow of tourists were shown for coming to rest in Transcarpathia with neighboring countries, which have road, rail and air traffic as well as internal flows with Ukraine that come in the Transcarpathian region by road, rail and air transport.The structure of tourist and traffic transfer by narrow gauge rolling stock was developed.Methodical approach was improved for determining income from the transportation of passengers and tourists by the various types of narrow gauge rolling stock, which allows separately the transfer of passenger to the rest area and in reverse motion and tourist travel on certain routes to different rolling stock that will accurately predict the economic activities of travel agencies and establish the value of rail fares and the cost of permits.

Structure of a Story-Telling Performance Among Carpatho-Rusyns in Zakarpats'ka Oblast' of Ukraine: A Case Study

This article analyses the transcript of the story-telling session with two participants, an 89-year-old woman and a 54-year-old man, that I audio-recorded in August of 2014 in the village of Novoselytsia in the Transcarpathian region of Ukraine. Although Western krainian and Rusyn folk stories have been extensively collected since 1880-s (Hnatiuk 1897, 1898, 1900, Rozdol's'kyi 1899, 1900, etc.), entire story-telling sessions in these region have not been studied. My transcript reflects certain features of story-telling performance's macro- and micro-structure that either do not get recorded or get edited out in publications of folk texts, such as interaction between participants, discourse markers for organizing performance, repetitions, and digressions into everyday reality. After analyzing these features using Hymes' approach to linguistic and discourse markers in folk performance, I foreground the precise mechanism through which the collective creation of folklore [Jakobson and Bogatyrev 1980 [1929]] takes place.

Evidence of the repeated penetration of Cryptomphalus aspersa (Gastropoda, Pulmonata, Helicidae) into the territory of Eastern Europe

The literature sources and collection materials providing evidence of the repeated penetration of the land mollusk Cryptomphalus aspersa into the territory of Eastern Europe are analyzed. In the second half of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, mollusks of this species were found in the Crimea (Feodosia), Northern Black Sea coastal region (Odessa, Kherson), and even in the forest-steppe zone of Ukraine (in the vicinity of Vinnitsa). The latter finding is verified by a shell from the malacological collection of the State Museum of Natural History, the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. Apparently, the intentional or accidental introduction of C. aspersa into the territory of Eastern Europe continued, but there are still no data confirming the formation of stable colonies. The finding of two specimens in the town of Vinogradov (Transcarpathian region of Ukraine) made by one of the authors of this paper in 2014 is an example of unintentional delivery of this species.

PO-0031 Preferable Disorders In The Children With Primary Arterial Hypertension Assotiated With Endothelial Disfunction

Background and aims Endothelial dysfunction (DE)-a state of the vascular endothelium, which is accompanied by vazotonic, remodelic, anti-inflammatory and anticoagulant functions. The range of these disorders, the severity of each, and chronology of occurrence, the dynamic progression vary depending on the nosology pathology. Methods The investigated group included of 36 children (age -13,98 ± 0,16) with diagnosed primary arterial hypertension assotiated with DE. The scientific study was conducted in the Transcarpathian region of Ukraine. Results There were a significant difference in the levels of HDL (1,2 ± 0,31 mmmol/l to 69 ± 0,01 mmol/l, p Conclusion These dates presented the risk of thrombogenesis, but non significant. The levels of IL-1 and IL -6 were in the range of control values, but have a tendency to decline, according to our data. This fact indicated about the decrease in production of interleukins of child’s organism in the mountains region.

Clinical Paraclinical Parameters of Primary Arterial Hypertension in Adolescents

We investigated children with primary arterial hypertension (PAH) from the Transcarpathian region of Ukraine (68 children, middle age 14.68 ± 0.84 years). In patients with arterial hypertension which PAH debuted in adolescence and have changes in lipid profile are formed pathological process in two ways: first way presented increase in total cholesterol associated with lower high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol indicators, and other is an increase in triglycerides with decreased levels of HDL cholesterol, according to data of M.M. Korenev et al. (2010, 2011). These changes in lipid profile is prognostically unfavorable signs of atherosclerosis which developed in the patients (1st way), in others — development of the metabolic syndrome in the young age (14–15 years), which we observed in our research. Our data are also relevant tendency. In children with PAH increase triglyceride levels (1.96 ± 0.04 mmol/l) associated with significant decrease in HDL cholesterol fraction (1.20 ± 0.31 mmol/l) which predicts development of the metabolic syndrome in the young age.

Моніторинг вмісту нітратів в овочевих культурах Ужгородського району

The aim of our research was to conduct a monitoring study of nitrate content in plant products of Uzhgorod district and to accomplish comparative analysis of the survey results in different periods of crop ripening. Selection of vegetable samples was carried out in Uzhgorod district in the early spring and summer periods. Determination of the nitrate content was performed using an ion-selective method at the Chemical and Toxicological Department of the Regional State Veterinary Medicine Laboratory in the Transcarpathian region of Ukraine. Vegetables were tested for nitrate content using the ion-selective method with the laboratory ion meter AI-123. Core investigation samples were crushed and homogenized. A 10.0 g weight of the investigated product, which was prepared according to MIR № 5048-89, was placed in a flat-bottomed or a conical flask, which was then filled with 50 cm3 potassium alumens solution and shaken in a shaking-machine for 5 minutes and then transferred into a measuring glass. The nitrate weight fraction in milligrams per kilogram was obtained together with the weight concentration value of nitrate ions in solution. For our study we selected vegetables grown in both public and private gardens of Uzhgorod district, namely: common onions, radishes, garden parsley, cucumbers, tomatoes, bell peppers, white cabbages, carrots and table beets. 25 samples were selected for each type of vegetable. Nitrate content was determined in the early spring growing period (from February 9 to May 27, 2011) and in the summer growing period (from June 3 to September 28, 2011), because in these particular periods we recorded the most frequent cases of food poisoning from nitrates among the population of the region. A clear trend has been traced towards increasing the nitrate content in food plant production, at levels which exceed the maximum permissible concentration (MPC). The results of our research demonstrate that the nitrate content exceeded the maximum permissible concentration in 9 kinds of vegetables out of the 11 selected for the investigation, which composes 82% of total production. In particular, among the selected vegetables an excess of nitrate content, above MPC was recorded in 100% of cucumbers, 92% of carrots, 40% samples of green onions, 40% of radishes, 40% of tomatoes, 28% bell peppers, and 16% of early white cabbages. However, the most significant nitrate excess, which was more than double the MPC, was observed in 56% of cucumbers, 20% of tomatoes, 8% of radishes in the early spring period and 4% of tomatoes in the summer period. Consequently, it has been established that the consumption of early vegetable production contributes to the ingestion by humans of significant amounts of nitrates. The application of an agrochemical system based upon sound measurement of the nitrate content would allow us to solve the task of increasing soil fertility and to form a deficit-free and positive balance of biogenic elements and humus in the "soil – plant – fertilizer" system and develop a system of crop production which is balanced in its chemical composition and nutritional value. To sum up, detailed determination of the factors that lead to the accumulation of nitrates in vegetable crops and the development of methods to reduce nitrate concentrations in crop production require further investigation.
