The existing trend to increase the administrative barriers in Russia is analyzed in the article. The factors of stable reproduction of the administrative barriers and the possibilities of their destruction are examined. The general institutional approach to overcoming administrative barriers is formulated. The recommendations for the debureaucratization policy are elaborated on the basis of the analysis of formal procedures and regulation forms and instruments in Australia.

Evaluation Of Learning

Learning process is the most important part in education as an effort to mature learners, The success of the learning process becomes a benchmark achievement of learning objectives. To know the achievement of the success of learning objectives, it must be done evaluation / assessment. In particular the purpose of evaluation to determine the progress of learning outcomes of learners after following the learning, as well as to determine the level of effectiveness and efficiency of methods, strategies that teachers use in learning. Evaluation of learning has an important and strategic meaning in education, because the learning process becomes meaningful, as well as its evaluation results can be used as a basis to determine the next step, for teachers, principals, institutions, parents, and government. The importance of learning evaluation can be seen from the approach of the learning process, the characteristics of professional educators, and the institutional approach, but it can also be seen from its purpose, function and principles and the validity and reliability of its evaluation tool.

Purpose. To study the dynamics of blood pressure (BP) indicators under the influence of exogenously administered melatonin (Melatonin-SZ, Severnaya Zvezda, Russia) with various manifestations of desynchronosis of circadian BP rhythms (arterial hypertension – AH, high normal blood pressure) to determine the scheme of their effective compensation. Material and methods. The study included 101 patients with desynchronosis of circadian rhythms of blood pressure – 52 patients with hypertension, constituting the first and second groups, and 49 individuals with high normal blood pressure, representing the third and fourth groups. Patients of the second and fourth groups received conservative therapy, patients of the first and third groups combined it with melatonin. All patients underwent measurements of office blood pressure, home monitoring of blood pressure (ABPM), electrocardiography, 24-hour blood pressure monitoring (ABPM). Results and discussion. In patients of the first and third groups, compared with the traditional treatment groups, by the end of the observation period, a significantly (p < 0.05) decrease in office systolic blood pressure (SBP) / diastolic blood pressure (DBP) was established: in the first group compared with the second – 1.11 / 1.13 times, in the third group compared to the fourth – 1.43 / 1.58 times; significantly more (p < 0.05) pronounced decrease in SBP / DBP during DMAD – by 1.08 / 1.17 and 1.58 / 1.62 times, respectively, Significantly (p < 0.05) more pronounced decrease in average daily, average daily and average nighttime SBP / DBP during ABPM – by 1.13 / 1.20, 1.11 / 1.20, 1.23 / 1.25 and 1.47 / 1.31, 1.42 / 1.19, 1.54 / 1.41 times, respectively; reliably (p < 0.05) more frequent registration of the dipper rhythm type SBP / DBP – 1.6 / 1.4 and 1.6 / 1.4 times, respectively. In addition, the dynamics of patients in the first and third groups showed a significant (p < 0.05) decrease in the mean daily and mean nighttime SBP / DBP variability (SBP in the first group by 27.3 and 41.3 %, respectively; DBP in the first group by 20.1 and 26.3 %, respectively; SBP in the third group by 13.5 and 25.2 %, respectively; DBP in the third group by 12.2 and 28.2 %, respectively). Conclusions. With various manifestations of desynchronosis of circadian rhythms of blood pressure (AH, high normal blood pressure), the prescription of melatonin (Melatonin-SZ, Severnaya Zvezda, Russia) at a dose of 3 mg per day 30–40 minutes before bedtime for a month against the background of non-drug therapy and antihypertensive drugs led to a significantly more effective decrease in blood pressure at its office measurement, DMAD, ABPM with an improvement in the circadian rhythm of blood pressure and normalization of blood pressure variability.

Does Global Justice Require More than Just Global Institutions?

Strong Reading

The ‘institutional approach’ to justice holds that persons’ responsibility of justice is primarily to support, maintain, and comply with the rules of just institutions. Within the rules of just institutions, so long as their actions do not undermine these background institutions, individuals have no further responsibilities of justice. But what does the institutional approach say in the non-ideal context where just institutions are absent, such as in the global case? One reading of the institutional approach, in this case, is that our duties are primarily to create just institutions, and that when we are doing our part in this respect, we may legitimately pursue other personal or associational ends. This ‘strong’ reading of our institutional duty takes it to be both a necessary and sufficient duty of justice of individuals that they do their part to establish just arrangements. But how plausible is this? On the one hand this requirement seems overly inflexible; on the other it seems overly lax. I clarify the motivation and context of this reading of the institutional duty, and suggest that it need not be as implausible as it seems.

Post Implantation

The use of implantable electronic cardiac devices is increasing. Post-implantation follow-up is important for monitoring both device function and patient condition; however, clinical practice is inconsistent. For example, implantable cardioverter–defibrillator follow-up schedules vary from every three months to yearly according to facility and physician preference and the availability of resources. Importantly, no surveillance occurs between follow-up visits. By contrast, implantable devices with automatic remote monitoring capability provide a means for performing constant surveillance, with the ability to identify salient problems rapidly. The Lumos-T Reduces Routine Office Device Follow-up Study (TRUST) demonstrated that remote home monitoring reduced clinic burden and allowed early detection of patient and/or system problems, enabling efficient monitoring and an opportunity to enhance patient safety. The results of the trial have significant implications for the management of patients receiving all forms of implantable electronic cardiac device.

Constructivist Model

This article concludes the series of publications on structuralism. In the three previous articles, the hypothesis that structuralism cannot be understood and appreciated outside of what can be called “modern humanism” was first expressed and substantiated. In this article, structuralism, understood in its ontogeny and phylogeny, is related to the horizon of modern epistemology and philosophy of science. Moreover, modern epistemological models must themselves be taken seriously, i. e. methods of modern comparative epistemology. Thus, the map of theories of structuralism is more complicated to see than with a strictly institutional approach. One of the poles of this whole is radically constructivist models (the most complete constructivist model of structuralism today is the concept of N. Poselyagin). The opposite pole is the realistic understanding of structuralism proposed in this series of publications. A number of models reveal fundamental complexity, revealing a realistic background under the layer of constructivist rhetoric. Thus, the theory of structuralism of the greatest epistemologist and methodologist of science P. Serio turns out to be dual. Corrections to the archeology of M. Foucault’s knowledge inevitably lead his theory to the realistic pole.
