STUDIES ON THE EFFECT OF SPACING OF COIR GEOTEXTILE ON LIME STABILISED QUARRY WASTE COLUMN

DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.60807 ABSTRACT Stone columns are massively used ground improvement technique. Installation of stone columns enhances the load carrying capacity and accelerates consolidation and thereby reduces settlement. The lateral confinements offered by the surrounding soil are inadequate to form the stone column, when installed in extremely soft soils. In such cases, the performance of stone column can be improved by lateral reinforcements. Here coir is provided as the lateral reinforcement. The present study investigates the load verses settlement response of various spacings of the coir geotextile reinforced lime stabilised quarry waste column. Four different spacings are adopted. The results revealed that the load carrying capacity of stone column is influeneced by the spacing of the reinforcemnt.

CREATING A SYSTEM OF MEDICAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL REHABILITATION OF EXTREME PROFESSIONS REPRESENTATIVES (FIREMEN-RESCUERS AS A MODEL) Julia Chumaeva 1 , Vladislava Golikovа 1,2 , Julia Nekhoroshkova 1 , Alexey Ogulenko 1 , Leonid Shafran 1 1 Ukrainian Scientific and Research Institute of Transport Medicine, Odessa, Ukraine 2 Odessa National Maritime Academy, Odessa, Ukraine Abstract Background. Working conditions of representatives of extreme professions (firemen-rescuers are a good example), are connected with disregulations and disorders of physiologic functions, fatigue accumulation and disadaptation. The medical and psychological rehabilitation is an effective way for occupational health and reliability restoration. However, last one is characterized by an empirical approach and conducted by priority of medical component, that significantly reduces effectiveness of the undertaken measures. So, it is necessary to develop a system of combined medical and psychological rehabilitation (MPR). Materials and methods. In this progect MPR was carried out in 238 specialists of three professional groups: firemen-rescuers (146), fire-engine drivers (44) and inspectors of fire safety (48 - control). Psychophysiological examination included the computerized program “MORTEST”, variant “SPAS-14” performance, answers to the individual-typological questionnaire (ITQ) and Eysenck personal test (EPT). The levels of epinephrine (Е), norepinephrine (NЕ), dopamine (DА) and dioxyphenylalanine (DOPA) urinal excretion, the vanillylmandelic (VMA) and homovanillic acids (HVA) levels in urine were also defined. The survey is conducted three times: at the beginning, middle and the end of a 12-day rehabilitation course. Statistical data processing was carried out by common programs in Microsoft Excel. Results and discussion. The studies have shown that the attributes to identify individual-typological differences are indicators of extroversion-introversion and anxiety in tests ITO and EPT. The results were divided into three clusters: extroverts with low anxiety (52.9%); ambiverts with low (27.7%) and high anxiety (19.4%). Simultaneously it was assigned different types of SAS response in the rehabilitation process: basic or balanced, epinephrinic, norepinephrinic, and with low secretory activity. Low efficiency of rehabilitation measures occurred in 40.7 ± 5,1% of surveyed firefighters with epinephrinic response type and SAS functional exhaustion. The type of SAS response allocated 3 levels of stress in fire-rescuers: adequate to professional load, with the signs of hormonal and mediatorial dissociation, and dangerous - with the depletion of all links of SAS. Conclusion. According to the results of the performed researches it was developed a system of MPR, which allows to conduct a differentiated remediation of firemen-rescuers in the view of occupational features, individually-typological properties of the rehabilitants’ personality, the nature and degree of changes in the central nervous, autonomic and hormonal systems. The developed approaches included in the elaborated Methodical Guidelines, implemented in practice. Key words: extreme professions, firemen-rescuers, medical and psychological rehabilitation, psychophysiological assessment, psychological markers, catecholamines excretion, effective measures elaboration.

SENSE OF COHERENCE AS A PREDICTOR OF PHYSICAL AND PSYCHOSOCIAL HEALTH AMONG CARDIAC PATIENTS Janusz Kocjan Medical University of Silesia, Faculty of Medicine Summary INTRODUCTION: According to salutogenic concept, a strong sense of coherence is associated with physical and psychological health. Global life orientation is a measure of an individual’s ability to balance needs and resources of the body in confrontation with stress. AIM OF THE STUDY: The aim of the present study was to assess relationship between sense of coherence (SOC) with health-related quality of life (HRQoL), especially with physical (PC) and mental (MC) component of health in patients undergoing cardiac treatment. MATERIAL AND METHODS: 144 patients in age of 40-84 (mean age: 63,35 ± 10,71 years) were examined. The following scale were used: SOC-29 ( Sense of Coherence ) and SF-36 ( Short Form Health Survey ). Statistical analyses included perform descriptive statistics, calculate correlation between variables and comparision in groups. Levels of p<0,05 were accepted as being statistically significant values. RESULTS: The median score for SOC and its individuals components were as follows: SOC: 121,50; sense of comprehensibility: 46,00; sense of meaningfulness: 40,00; sense of manageability: 39,00. Correlation between SOC and all components with MC were noted (0,20<r<0,30; p<0,02). In case of PC, correlations were weaker (0,17<r<0,23), but statistically significant (p<0,05). Differences between group with low and strong SOC revealed in factors: physical functioning, role limitations due to physical health, pain, health-general, energy/fatigue, role limitations due to emotional problems as well as in MC and PC components (0,0000<p<0,0393). CONCLUSIONS: Sense of Coherence has an impact both for MC as well as PC. Strong SOC is associated with better HRQoL. KEY WORDS: Sense of coherence, SOC-29, health-related quality of life, cardiac patients.

STRESS IN THE TEACHING PROFESSION Karina Wengel-Woźny 1 , Lucyna Szefczyk-Polowczyk 2 , Agata Zygmunt 3 Medical University of Silesia 1 Doctoral Studies, School of Health Sciences in Katowice 2 Doctoral Studies, School of Farmacy with the Devision of Laboratory Medicine in Sosnowiec 3 Doctoral Studies, School of Medicine in Katowice Adres do korespondencji: Łowoszow, 46-300 ,ul. Krzywa 16 Adres e-mail: karinawengel@gmail.com Abstract Introduction. Teaching profession dates back to ancient times, when formulation of an ideal of a man with comprehensively developed personality was primarily based on such values as wisdom and knowledge. The profession of a teacher/master was influenced by many factors and underwent numerous transformations over the centuries. Aim . The aim is to assess the impact of stress and burnout at work and functioning of the teachers. Material and methods. The survey was conducted using a proprietary questionnaire consisting of 21 questions, in which the respondent select one of the following answers. The study assured full anonymity. The survey was conducted among a group of randomly selected teacher of primary, middle and secondary schools operating in the province of Opole. Results. As a result of conducted research it appeared that 54% of respondents many times a week feel stress related to their work. There are 28% of surveyed to sense nervous tension due to their professional occupation. 10% among them admit to experience this kind of stress up to twice a week whereas 8% of them tend to feel stressed once a week or less often. Conclusions. It is obvious that stress cannot be totally eliminated out of teacher profession. However we can reduce its size by applying a number of tools. These can be following: Implementation of educational programs dedicated for teachers- programs which aim at minimizing consequences of stress on teacher’s health and life as well as on their environment. Organizing of workshops of “coping with stress” and with difficult situations; education of behaving in situations of “overload”. The change of system of educating teachers and gaining professional competences. Key words: stress, teacher, teaching profession, occupational burnout.

THE RISK MORTALITY OF THE POPULATION OF AZERBAIJAN FROM CIRCULATORY DISEASES, DEPENDING ON THE SEASON A. J. Rzayeva, K. F. Agayeva, E. M. Hatamzada, A. K. Mammadbayli Azerbaijan State Advanced Training Institute for doctors named after A. Aliyev, Baku ABSTRACT The Objective. To obtain evidence-based data about the role of seasons of the year in the formation of the population mortality risk from the circulatory system diseases (CSD) in Azerbaijan and its regions with specific climate. Materials of the study. A case of mortality was a unit of statistical observation. The fatalities from all reasons, including CSD have been distributed by the days of every month in the year. Daily average amount of fatalities by months and seasons ( from 20 December to 19 March – winter; from 20 March to 19 June- spring; from 20 June to 16 September; from 20 September to 19 December - autumn) have been determined. Results. In Azerbaijan the risk of general mortality and mortality from CSD is the highest in winter, it decreases in spring but nonuniformly (the general mortality rate is less than that from CSD). That is why the share of CSD increases among mortality reasons. Conclusions. Seasonal change of mortality risks from CSD is multivariant. Winter-spring increase of risk predominates in Azerbaijan. In some regions of Azerbaijan the mortality risk from CSD increases only once either in spring or in summer or winter. Key words: seasonal dynamics, risk of mortality, circulatory system diseases.

THE LEVEL OF PHYSICAL PREPAREDNESS OF STUDENTS OF HIGHER EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS AS A PREREQUISITE OF MODULAR TRAINING Volodymyr Faidevych Lesya Ukrainka Eastern European National University, Lutsk, Ukraine Summary A persistent deterioration in the health of the population and, in particular, students can be observed in recent times. Having entered into conflict with the real needs of renewal of society, the system of physical education of youth gave rise to the crisis. One of the key problems is changing of explanatory, illustrative and reproductive types of training in intensive technologies. On the basis of the analysis results established that the physical preparedness of students corresponds to the low level of development and is at a low and medium level. 42.9% of students have low level of physical preparedness, 36% of students physical preparedness is at a satisfactory level, and only 21.1% of students have a “high” level of physical preparedness. It means the need for modification of the system of methods, forms and means of teaching physical culture of students for improving the level of fitness. This situation leads to search for new, student-oriented teaching methods of physical training, in which students’ interests would be taken into account. Modular training system occupies a central place among them. The methodology of modular training must be based on the following key provisions: individualization of means and methods of training, increasing volume and intensity of training lessons, accented development of motor skills and on the basis of their motor skills and interest in physical culture. The methodology eliminates the excessive detail, revealing the space for creativity of the teacher, increases the role of complex problem solving. Key words: students, physical culture, modular training, physical preparedness.

It is well known, that patients with deep burns belong to the category of critically ill ones. According to the data of National Nosocomial Infections Surveillance (2004), Staphylococcus spp. are among leading opportunistic pathogens of infectious complications in such patients. Nowadays much attention is given to the problem of antibiotic resistance of Staphylococcus clinical strains. More often antiseptics are used in treatment of infectious complications, caused by antibiotic resistant miсroorganisms. The aim of the research was to study microbiological aspects of the effectiveness of antimicrobial drugs. Materials and methods. There were examined 372 critically ill patients with burns, having infectious complications. In all patients microbiological examinations were carried out during the first 7 days after burn trauma. There were isolated 115 clinical strains of Staphylococcus spp. . Their morphological, cultural, biochemical qualities and sensitivity to antibiotics, antiseptics were studied. Rresults of the study. We found, that clinical strains of S. aureus , S. epidermidis were highly resistant to oxacillin (46,9; 59,1 % respectively); were insensitive to clavulanate and sulbactam potentiated beta-lactams; ceftriaxone; meropenem, imipenem; ciprofloxacin. Sensitivity of Staphylococcus to amikacin, linezolid, vancomycin was found. There was shown the sensitivity of antibiotic resistant strains of Staphylococcus to decamethoxin, its polymer composition, chlorhexidine digluconate. In the research there was proved the decreasing of the effectiveness of chlorhexidine digluconate against Staphylococcus in conditions of increasing microbial load to 10 9 CFU/ml in 6,6 times comparably to decamethoxin drugs (p<0,001). Conclusions Resistant to the majority of antibiotics strains of Staphylococcus spp. store their high sensitivity to antiseptic decamethoxin and its polymeric composition, chlorhexidine digluconate. Microbial load increase up to 10 9 CFU/ml decreases antimicrobial effectiveness of chlorhexidine digluconate in 4,2 – 4,8 times. Antibiotic resistant strains of Staphylococci do not have cross-resistance to antiseptic drugs. Clinical strains of S. aureus , S. epidermidis cause purulent-inflammatory complications in critically ill patients with burns and have resistance to oxacillin (46,9; 59,1 % respectively), beta-lactam antibiotics with clavulanic acid and sulbactam (amoxicillin/clavulanate – 67,47±9,30 %; ampicillin/sulbactam – 58,63±8,58 %;); ceftriaxone (55,75±14,24 %); carbapenems (meropenem – 64,93 – 70,35 %; imipenem – 66,43 – 66,78 %); ciprofloxacin (65,47±9,11 %). S. aureus , S. epidermidi are sensitive to amikacin (74,62 – 80,75 %), linezolid (77,2 – 87,44 %); vancomycin (91,88 – 92,46 %). Key words: antibiotics, antiseptics, resistance, burns, comlications, microorganisms.

We know that children who live on territories polluted by radionucleides, characterized, among other things, increased prevalence diseases to caries and periodontitis. On the other hand, for the rest of this contingent characterized by dysfunction of the neuroendocrine-immune complex. We set a goal to find out the relationships saliva lysozyme activity - a key factor in antibacterial protection of the oral cavity - with some blood-neural and immune factors. Methods. The study involved 80 children aged 10-17 years, who arrived to the spa Truskavets’ from territories polluted by radionucleides. In addition to the activity of lysozyme in saliva, recorded parameters of immune status I-II levels of WHO, HRV, Stange and Hench tests, and conducted routine clinical tests. Results. Normal activity of saliva lysozyme pronounced only in 17 (21%) children. Regarding immunity parameters detected significant positive correlation activity of lysozyme with the intensity (r=0,49) and activity (r=0,34) phagocytosis by neutrophils blood Staph. aureus and concentration of serum IgM (r=0,34) and circulating immune complexes (r=0,30), whereas a negative correlation with the levels of IgA (r=-0,46), CD19 + B lymphocytes (r=-0,32) theophilinsensitive T lymphocytes (r=-0,26) and CD8 + T lymphocytes (r=-0,23). Among the HRV parameters with the activity of lysozyme only weakly correlated markers vagal tone RMSSD (r=-0,19) i PSD HF (r=-0,19). The observed negative correlation lysozyme activity of inspiratory test Stange (r=-0,47) and expiratory test Hench (r=-0,27). Among hemogram parameters significantly correlated with the activity of lysozyme only platelet level (r=-0,22). The canonical correlation between saliva lysozyme activity and registered blood-neural and immune factors proved strong (R=0,82). Conclusion. Reduced activity of lysozyme in saliva of children, who live on territories polluted by radionucleides, is one of the manifestations of dysfunction neuroendocrine-immune complex. Keywords: saliva lysozyme, immunity, HRV, Stange and Hench tests, children.

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LCE) holds the 1 st place among abdominal surgeries. Pathology of the biliary system is associated with female sex, because estrogens increase bile lithogenicity. One of the peculiarities of biliary system diseases in women is combination of them with cardiovascular diseases. Specific patterns of heart changes in women, which underwent LCE, are not clearly established yet. That’s why we held a retrospective analysis of 100 case histories of women, which underwent LCE. Among analysed women frequency of arterial hypertension was 79%; obesity was diagnosed in 52%, overweight – in 30% of patients. Median of index of left ventricle (LV) myocardium weight in examined women exceeded normal values (108.34 g/m 2 with the limit to 95 g/m 2 ). Median of relative thickness ofLV wall indicated presence of eccentric hypertrophy. In examined patients we also revealed signs of hypertrophic type of diastolic dysfunction: decrease of speed E on the background of increase of speed A and decrease of E/A ratio to 0.7. Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) in our patients directly correlated with left atrium size, thicknesses ofLV posterior wall and interventricular septum, end-systolic volume,LV myocardium weight and its indexed value. ESR also reversely correlated with ejection fraction (all r<0,05). Echocardiographical parameters also correlated with body weight, height, body mass index, age, systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Key words : cholelithiasis, laparoscopic cholecystectomy, hypertension, heart, left ventricle.

W. Chodźki 1, 20-093 Lublin e-mail: piotr7176@gmail.com Abstract Epilepsy is a common chronic neurological disorder that requires a long-term antiepileptic drug therapy. Epilepsy affects approximately 1% of the world’s population, so about 50 million people worldwide have epilepsy. It more likely occurs among children and people over the age of 65. This chronic condition is characterized by recurrent, unprovoked epileptic seizures. Although there are many innovative methods of seizure control, such as neurosurgery, vagal nerve stimulations (VNS) and ketogenic diet, pharmacology is most forceful method of epilepsy treatment. Unfortunately, anticonvulsant drugs are not always effective; the number of non-responding patients is higher than 30% [2,25,29,31]. Levetiracetam (LEV) is one of the newest AEDs, marketed worldwide only since 2000 [29]. This novel antiepileptic drug has a unique and non-standard mechanism of action. The structure of LEV is similar to the prototypical nootropic drug piracetam. Its novel mechanism of action is connected with the synaptic vesicle protein SV2A in the brain. The elimination plasma half-live of LEV is approximately from 6 to 8 hours among adults. About 66% of the drug is excreted unchanged and 27% as inactive hydrolysis product [12]. LEV is mainly removed by the kidneys so that elimination parallels kidney function (renal clearance: 0,6 ml/min/kg) [3,12,32]. LEV was found to be well tolerated and effective in all types of seizures in adults and children [18]. It can be also used in combinations with other AEDs. The drug may also be useful in treatment of Lennox-Gastaut syndrome [9]. This article reviews available published data on LEV in the treatment of adults and children, including information about LEV`s pharmacokinetics, chemistry, mechanism of action, interactions and toxicity. Key words: levetiracetam, antiepileptic drugs, seizures, epilepsy.

Evaluation advanced lymph node dissection impact on long-term survival rate of gastric cancer patients V. G. Dubinina 1 , A. A. Mashukov 1 , A. N. Zgura 2 , A. A. Bilenko 1 , S. V.Merlich 2 , D. V. Raziborsky 2 , I. V.Shilin 2 Odessa National Medical University 1 , Odessa, Ukraine Odessa Regional Oncological Dispansery 2 , Odessa, Ukraine Abstract Over a period of 2007-2011 188 stomach cancer (SC) patients have been included in the research in abdominal oncosurgical department of Odessa regional oncological dispensary. It was retrospective, one-center, nonrandomized research. Volume of lymph node dissections differed by quantity of lymph nodes to be removed. All patients were divided into three groups. Patients with D1 or D1+ lymph node dissections have been performed, totally 90 patients are included in group of historical control. The main group includes 33 patients to whom D3 lymph node dissections is executed and, finally, control group – 65 patients dissected up to the D2 volume. In all cases so-called lymph node dissections for principal reasons have been executed. The multifactorial analysis of patients survival is implemented depending on a type of a lymph node dissections, a stage of the cancer, number of involved lymph nodes, involvement of the tumoral microcirculatory net (ly is carried out, v) signs of a perinevral invasion (Nev), availability of residual tumoral tissue (R), degree of a differentiation (G). Regardless of a disease stage, SC at 60% of patients, represented with initially hematologicaly disseminated disease. 40% of SC`s had no signs of intratumoral microcirculatory net involvement even in case of more than 15 regional lymph nodes are involved. In the absence of a SC perinevral invasion appeared to be the most precise predictive marker. The conclusion is made some brand new additional prognostic factors could play a crucial role in more accurate patients selection for expanded lymph node dissections. Keywords: stomach cancer, extended lymph node dissections.
