Systematic Solution

The article deals with the problems and perspectives of the development of the modern cultural and leisure sphere on the example of domestic experience. The current circumstances of large-scale changes in sociocultural development are forcing scientists to develop new approaches to improve the functioning of the cultural and leisure sphere, capable of responding to the challenges of the realities of today. Considering many years of observations and own scientific research, information about the basic problems of the industry in the article is grouped into three blocks: nationwide, regional and specific. Taking into account the necessity of systematic solution of problematic issues both at the sectoral level and at the level of individual organization, the research proposes to develop perspective ways of development of cultural and leisure sphere taking into account information development of society and consumer interests of the population. At the same time, any systematic measures aimed at eliminating at least some of these problems by local authorities or the community can be considered as effective means of developing a modern cultural and leisure sphere.

The purpose of the article is to identify the information services for creating mind maps in the process of linguistic training of future philologists at the seminars. A comparative analysis of the most used software products for creating mind maps was carried out based on an expert survey. The results of this analysis made it possible to choose a software product using mind maps. The results of the pedagogical experiment confirmed the assumption that mind maps are an effective means of mastering the knowledge of future philologists at the seminars. The use of mind maps in the processes of understanding information in the classroom affects the activity of students' listening, makes it possible to systematize information through personal understanding and structuring, and promotes effective memorization. The next areas of scientific research on the presented problem are the analysis of the effectiveness of mind maps in the independent work of students.

The chapter departs from a review of scientific research in job-related stress. A model of neurodynamics explains the action mechanism of classical meditation as in-depth relaxation as effective means to cope with stress. This line of research has so far been considered alternative by the medical healthcare system, but understanding of the neurophysiological action mechanism should lead to inclusion in accordance with the normal standard of modern healthcare. A minireview of “Meditation and Prevention of Stress” by Are Holen complements the chapter.

Abstract Background Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) is the most common nosocomial infection in this country. The organism forms spores, which likely contribute to spread of infection in the hospital setting. Current guidelines call for special cleaning of rooms following discharge of patients who tested positive for CDI. There are currently no means to validate that cleaning has eradicated all of the spores. Canines (dogs) have been used to detect a variety of odors because of their superior olfactory abilities. A beagle was trained to detect the odor of C. difficile in the hospital setting. Harley the Clostridium difficile sniffing canine. Methods C. difficile was grown at the microbiology department at Vidant Medical Center (VMC). Culture plates containing the organism were used by a professional trainer to train a two-year old female beagle dog. The canine was taught to sit when she identified the odor. The canine was given positive reinforcement with oral treats each time she identified the odor. Once the dog was proficient in identifying the organism, the trainer used clinical stool specimens that tested either positive or negative for C. difficile. Prior to coming into the hospital setting, the canine was able to identify positive stool samples with near 100% accuracy. The dog was brought to search rooms occupied or previously occupied by patients who had CDI. The study was approved by the Animal Use and Care Committee at East Carolina University and took place between October 2019 and March 2020 at VMC. Results The canine detected the presence of C. difficile in 51% of 47 rooms inhabited by patients currently being treated for CDI and in 46% of 28 rooms previously inhabited by patients that tested positive for CDI. In all positive rooms, the organism was detected on the bedrails. She did not detect C. difficile in any positive areas after they had been cleaned with bleach wipes. Rooms found to be positive by canine. Conclusion Training a canine to detect C. difficile is an effective means of detecting the organism in the hospital environment. Use of a trained dog appears to be effective in validating the cleaning process of rooms that have been previously occupied by patients with CDI. Disclosures Paul P.

If we make a set of measurements, such as narrow-band or multicolour photo-electric measurements, which are designed to improve a scheme of classification, and in particular if they are designed to extend the number of dimensions of classification, i.e. the number of classification parameters, then some important problems of analytical procedure arise. First, it is important not to reproduce the errors of the classification scheme which we are trying to improve. Second, when trying to extend the number of dimensions of classification we have little or nothing with which to test the validity of the new parameters.Problems similar to these have occurred in other areas of scientific research (notably psychology and education) and the branch of Statistics called Multivariate Analysis has been developed to deal with them. The techniques of this subject are largely unknown to astronomers, but, if carefully applied, they should at the very least ensure that the astronomer gets the maximum amount of information out of his data and does not waste his time looking for information which is not there. More optimistically, these techniques are potentially capable of indicating the number of classification parameters necessary and giving specific formulas for computing them, as well as pinpointing those particular measurements which are most crucial for determining the classification parameters.

Chronic pyelonephritis is one of the most common diseases of the kidney and accounts for a sizeable number of cases of renal insufficiency in man, however its pathogenesis requires further elucidation. Transmission electron microscopy may serve as a uniquely effective means of observing details of the nature of this disease. The present paper describes preliminary results of an ultrastructural study of chronic pyelonephritis in Macaca arctoides (stumptail monkey).The infection was induced in these experiments in a retrograde fashion by means of a unilateral catheterization of the left ureter whereby an innoculum of 10 cc of broth containing approximately 2 billion E. coli per cc and radio-opaque dye were injected under pressure (mimicing vesico-ureteric reflux).

Abstract Mentoring has long been believed to be an effective means of developing students' clinical, research, and teaching skills to become competent professionals. The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) has developed two online mentoring programs, Student to Empowered Professional (S.T.E.P. 1:1) and Mentoring Academic Research Careers (MARC), to aid in the development of students. This paper provides a review of the literature on mentoring and compares and contrasts mentoring/mentors with clinical supervision/preceptors. Characteristics of effective mentors and mentees are offered. Additionally, the benefits of clinical mentoring such as, teambuilding in the workplace, retention of new staff, leadership development, and improved job satisfaction are discussed.

Background: In China, where follow-up with hospitalized attempters is generally lacking, there is a great need for inexpensive and effective means of maintaining contact and decreasing recidivism. Aims: Our objective was to test whether mobile telephone message contacts after discharge would be feasible and acceptable to suicide attempters in China. Methods: Fifteen participants were recruited from suicide attempters seen in the Emergency Department in Wuhan, China, to participate in a pilot study to receive mobile telephone messages after discharge. All participants have access to a mobile telephone, and there is no charge for the user to receive text messages. Results: Most participants (12) considered the text message contacts an acceptable and useful form of help and would like to continue to receive them for a longer period of time. Conclusions: This suggests that, as a low-cost and quick method of intervention in areas where more intensive follow-up is not practical or available, telephone messages contacts are accessible, feasible, and acceptable to suicide attempters. We hope that this will inspire future research on regular and long-term message interventions to prevent recidivism in suicide attempters.

Abstract. Although the development of research competency is an important goal of higher education in social sciences, instruments to measure this outcome often depend on the students’ self-ratings. To provide empirical evidence for the utility of a newly developed instrument for the objective measurement of social-scientific research competency, two validation studies across two independent samples were conducted. Study 1 ( n = 675) provided evidence for unidimensionality, expected differences in test scores between differently advanced groups of students as well as incremental validities over and above self-perceived research self-efficacy. In Study 2 ( n = 82) it was demonstrated that the competency measured indeed is social-scientific and relations to facets of fluid and crystallized intelligence were analyzed. Overall, the results indicate that the test scores reflected a trainable, social-scientific, knowledge-related construct relevant to research performance. These are promising results for the application of the instrument in the evaluation of research education courses in higher education.
