SynopsisThe use of blood has greatly increased during the past 25 years. One of the most important advances during this period is related to the development of methods of isolating, concentrating and storing the individual components of blood for specific clinical requirements. Along with this, new problems in science and technology, blood-donor organisation and medical care and the recruitment and training of staff have emerged. The opinion is advanced, that in the future, the efficiency of blood transfusion lies in its establishment as a separate discipline.

Extract Information

The increasing demand to dispose of the cases swiftly, police often resort to third-degree methods to extract information from the individual; and in the process violate the fundamental rights to life and personal liberty stated under article 21 of the constitution of India. With the development of science and technology quickly eliciting the information is possible by adopting methods of polygraph, brain mapping, and narco analysis. In the past various experts, committees and judgements in courts have recommended these technologies to be used. Though there is a demand, it also raises serious legal, ethical and medical issues. Through this article we attempted to analyze the issues from various angles, and should take steps in the future to implement them. Keywords: Deception Detection Test (DDT), polygraph, brain mapping, narco analysis.

While societies enhance their ideas, thoughts and practices for education systems to build their future; they carry out a number of major activities by protecting the history of the transfer of cultural heritage. In this research, one of the thinkers and scientists of the Karakhanids Period; Farabi's idea; "The purpose of education is to find happiness and make the individual beneficial to society", Avicenna’s "The primary education of the child is moral education", based on their ideas, the structure and characteristics of education and training from the Farabi and Avicenna periods to the present day is a work has been done. Documentary survey model was applied in the research, by scanning the works and sources in this field, the works of the scientists of the period and their effects on education were examined. In the light of this research, it is aimed to gather information about the foundations of our education understanding from the past to the present and to reveal the reflections of this information on today's educational intellection. As we move towards a time when everything can be done with machines in our age built with technology, globalization and tough competition environments, the important element that does not change in education is “What kind of person should we train?” the answer to the question shows itself from history to the present. It is monitored that philosophers and scientists from a thousand years ago said; the characteristics that education administrators and teachers should have must be human being and to train him/her in the ideal way.

Blood and blood products are precious commodity which gives life to another person. Though we have immense discoveries and invention in science and technology, yet we cannot make blood hence, human blood has no substitute. The availability of safe blood and blood products is essential for diverse modern healthcare services including some surgeries, treatments for cancer, chronic medical conditions, trauma care, organ transplantation, and childbirths that ultimately improve life for millions of patients who are need of transfusion annually. We do not have yet well-defined and stringent regulatory framework for blood products regulation. Frailty may arise from the inability of governments to enforce laws, regulations, and policies and personnel who may not aware or cannot follow quality assurance and/ or good manufacturing practices. While the health sector in developed nation has made outstanding accomplishments in the past few decades. The study sheds on the overview of blood transfusion system in India and other developed nations. There were a mix of methodologies, including literature review (government documents), interviews with key officials in Indian Red Cross Society and analysis of data was used. Results of analysis showed that there are several areas that need to be addressed as it potentially affect the timely availability of safe blood products, which calls for strengthening the planning and monitoring of blood transfusion services.

At Home

Preserving foods by drying is one of the oldest known methods of food preservation. Until recently, freezing and canning have been the methods most people used to preserve foods at home. During the past 50 years, science and technology developed during World War II led to increased commercial drying of a wide. variety of foods. Most of this information has not been readily available to the individual who wants to dry foods at home. Individuals wanting to do home drying, until approximately the last 10 years, could only find bits and pieces of information on how to do it. Hopefully, this article will help eliminate some of the confusion that occurs because of conflicting information found in the scarce literature that is available on drying foods at home.

The article presents a literature review on the assessment of defects and medical care, as well as the prevention of defects and conflict situations that arise during the treatment of patients with emergency surgical abdominal pathology. Unfortunately, mortality among urgent surgical patients and diseases of the abdominal organs is in the leading positions among all causes of death, despite the improvement of diagnostic methods, the emergence of new medical equipment and drugs, as well as the developed standards of approaches to the treatment of this category of patients. The paper presents statistics on the incidence of abdominal pathology and the mortality rate among the population of our country. We have studied clinical guidelines and standards for the provision of medical care to patients with acute abdominal pathology and analyzed the work on the assessment of medical care, medical errors, conflicts between the patient and the surgeon, as well as the works describing the individual characteristics of various diseases over the past decades. The article discusses in detail the causes of professional errors and defects in medical care, which include: information and deontological defects, defects in the organization of the treatment process, defects in diagnosis and defects in the treatment itself. Studied in detail the stages of the examination to assess the medical care provided. Examples of the course of the main surgical diseases of the abdominal organs in various groups of patients are described. The possible measures to prevent professional errors in doctors and patients have been studied in detail.

The entire field of information processing in medicine is today already spread out and branched to such an extent that it is no longer possible to set up a survey on relevant literature as a whole. But even in narrow parts of medical informatics it is hardly possible for the individual scientist to keep up to date with new literature. Strictly defined special bibliographies on certain topics are most helpful.In our days, problems of optimal patient scheduling and exploitation of resources are gaining more and more importance. Scientists are working on the solution of these problems in many places.The bibliography on »Patient Scheduling« presented here contains but a few basic theoretical papers on the problem of waiting queues which are of importance in the area of medical care. Most of the papers cited are concerned with practical approaches to a solution and describe current systems in medicine.In listing the literature, we were assisted by Mrs. Wieland, Mr. Dusberger and Mr. Henn, in data acquisition and computer handling by Mrs. Gieß and Mr. Schlaefer. We wish to thank all those mentioned for their assistance.

Collaborative Activities

This study sought to assess the extent of research collaboration in Library and Information Science (LIS) schools in South Africa between 1991 and 2012. Informetric research techniques were used to obtain relevant data for the study. The data was extracted from two EBSCO-hosted databases, namely, Library and Information Science Source (LISS) and Library, Information Science and Technology Abstracts (LISTA). The search was limited to scholarly peer reviewed articles published between 1991 and 2012. The data was analysed using Microsoft Excel ©2010 and UCINET for Windows ©2002 software packages. The findings revealed that research collaboration in LIS schools in South Africa has increased over the past two decades and mainly occurred between colleagues from the same department and institution; there were also collaborative activities at other levels, such as inter-institutional and inter-country, although to a limited extent; differences were noticeable when ranking authors according to different computations of their collaborative contributions; and educator-practitioner collaboration was rare. Several conclusions and recommendations based on the findings are offered in the article.

And Training

Today, worldview, spiritual and moral problems that have always been reflected in education and upbringing come to the fore in society. In this situation, there is a demand for philosophical categories. One of the priority goals of education in modern conditions is the formation of a reasonable, reflexive person who is able to analyze their actions and the actions of other people. Modern science is characterized by an understanding of the absolute value and significance of childhood in the development of the individual, which implies the need for its multilateral study. In the conditions of democratization of all spheres of life, the child ceases to be a passive object of education and training, and becomes an active carrier of their own meanings of being and the subject of world creation. One of the realities of childhood is philosophizing, so it is extremely timely to address the identification of its place and role in the world of childhood. Children's philosophizing is extremely poorly studied, although the need for its analysis is becoming more obvious. Children's philosophizing is one of the forms of philosophical reflection, which has its own qualitative specificity, on the one hand, and commonality with all other forms of philosophizing, on the other. The social relevance of the proposed research lies in the fact that children's philosophizing can be considered as an intellectual indicator of a child's socialization, since the process of reflection involves the adoption and development of culture. Modern society, in contrast to the traditional one, is ready to "accept" a philosophizing child, which means that it is necessary to determine the main characteristics and conditions of children's philosophizing.

The aim of the article is to concretize the concept of political ideology in the aspect of its matrix structure and in the context of the cognitive-evolutionary approach. Based on Michael Frieden's morphological approach to the analysis of ideological consciousness, the concept of cognitive-ideological matrices is introduced, which allows us to describe the process of transition from proto-ideological to ideological concepts proper, especially at the level of individual consciousness. The identification of the ideological concept as the main “gene” of conceptual variability and inheritance made it possible to describe the main parameters of the evolution of political ideologies and associate it with changes taking place at the individual consciousness level. The described concept was tested in a series of sociological studies of youth consciousness conducted in 2015-2016 and 2018-2020. As a result of the study, it was possible to first identify the “zero level” of ideology, at which the minds of young respondents are potentially open to the influence of diverse and often mutually exclusive ideological orientations, and second, to pinpoint the changes that have occurred in the cognitive ideological matrices of Rostov-on-Don students over the past five years. This study was conducted by scientists from the southern Federal University.

Natural Medicines

Traditionally, natural medicines have been administered as plant extracts, which are composed of a mixture of molecules. The individual molecular species in this mixture may or may not contribute to the overall medicinal effects and some may even oppose the beneficial activity of others. To better control therapeutic effects, studies that characterized specific molecules and describe their individual activity that have been performed over the past decades. These studies appear to underline that natural products are particularly effective as antioxidants and anti-inflammatory agents. In this systematic review we aimed to identify potent anti-inflammatory natural products and relate their efficacy to their chemical structure and physicochemical properties. To identify these compounds, we performed a comprehensive literature search to find those studies, in which a dose-response description and a positive control reference compound was used to benchmark the observed activity. Of the analyzed papers, 7% of initially selected studies met these requirements and were subjected to further analysis. This analysis revealed that most selected natural products indeed appeared to possess anti-inflammatory activities, in particular anti-oxidative properties. In addition, 14% of the natural products outperformed the remaining natural products in all tested assays and are attractive candidates as new anti-inflammatory agents.
