Research has been conducted for the students studying at Akdeniz University Faculty of Sports Sciences. In the research, it was aimed to investigate the trait anxiety states of students studying at Akdeniz University Faculty of Sports Sciences and a survey model was used in the study. This study is consisted of two parts; there are 6 items in determination of demographical variables in the first part. “Trait Anxiety Inventory” Scale consisting of 20 questions developed by Spielberger was used in the second part. Likert type four-point was used in the scale items given in the second and third parts (showing the statements “Almost Always”, “Sometimes”, “Usually”, “Almost Never”). Once the comparison of trait anxiety levels by the age groups is examined among the results of the study, it is seen that trait anxiety levels of participants differ at a statistically significant level by the age groups (p<0,05). It was concluded that the trait anxiety level of the participants in the age group of 20-21 and age group of 22-23 is significantly higher than the participants in the age group of 23+ (P<0,05). In conclusion, it is considered that those who do individual sports feel more anxiety states since the responsibility only belongs to themselves. Trainings minimizing the anxiety should be further offered to the individuals doing such sports. Individual team athletes who are at national team level may be more supported.

This study aims to analyze mental health and anxiety levels during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study focused on students who were forced to study at home by e-learning. This study used as many as 210 students from junior high school, senior high school, and university levels which were selected randomly. Then, this study used a mixed-method by combining quantitative and qualitative approaches. Multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) was used to obtain empirical results to compare mental health and anxiety levels based on student age groups. The analysis results revealed there was a positive and significant influence of the students’ age group on mental health and anxiety levels during the outbreak of COVID-19. The analysis also concluded that students in the 12-15 years’ age group had the worst mental health level. Meanwhile, students in the 20-25 years’ age group are known to have the lowest anxiety level. Overall, this study found that Indonesian students experienced a decline in mental health and detected an increase in anxiety levels. The level of mental health and student anxiety has implications for their learning at home, which can lead to unsatisfactory learning outcomes.

Currently, the topic of determination of the seasonal and age-related dynamics of eimeria and cryptosporidia, especially with their associative course in cattle on farms of the Udmurt Republic, remains relevant. The research material were represented by fecal samples (1629 samples) from animals of various age groups of the central zone of Udmurtia, spontaneously infected with eime-ria and cryptosporidia. Coprological studies were performed monthly by generally accepted flotation methods, and fingerprint smears were made, followed by Ziehl-Nielsen staining. Our studies on the seasonal dynamics of protozoa showed that peaks of infection in animals in the central zone of the Udmurt Republic were noted in the autumn-winter periode. The age dynamics in the regions differed significantly depending on the type of pathogen and the age of the animals. Thus, Zavyalovsky is a stationary dysfunctional area for eimeriosis and cryptosporidiosis, where the per-centage of eimeriosis infection is 96.3%. At the same time, the maximum number of ocists were observed in young animals in age of 8-12 months. Cryptosporidiosis infestation was recorded from 3 days of age to 2 months, and the percentage of infection in this age group reached 89,66%.The results of our studies revealed a fairly widespread association of these protozooses. So, it was found that in Zavyalovsky district, the maximum intensi-ty of mixtinvasion is recorded in animals aged 1-2 months and reaches up to 69,17%. In the Uvinsky district, the greatest degree of infection with the association of eimeria and cryptosporidia is record-ed almost 2 times less often (in 37,31% of cas-es).The results of seasonal dynamics must be taken into account for drawing up treatment and preventive measures for various age groups of animals in the central zone of the Udmurt Republic.

Purpose:This study was carried out in order to determine the anxiety levels of menopausal women on their sexual satisfaction.Method and material:This descriptive study. The study was carried out at a menopause clinic of a state hospital between June and August 2011. Data were collected by questionnaire: the Golombok Rust Inventory of Sexual Satisfaction (GRISS) and the State Trait Anxiety Inventory.     Results:The mean age of the participants was 49.2±7.6 years old and nearly half of the women 46-50 age group. Half of the women in our sample had a chronic disease, 46.4% of women had sexual intercourse twice a week and 85.1% of them were housewives.  In our research it was found that the women’s sexual satisfaction was low, and their state anxiety levels were moderate level. There was a moderate positive correlation between the women’s sexual satisfaction scores and their anxiety levels. Increased levels of both state and trait anxiety in women reduces their sexual satisfaction. Conclusion:In this study, it was shown that women’s anxiety levels were middle and their sexual satisfactions were decreased during menopause. For this reason menopausal women’s should recommended give information about sexual and psychological consultancy services.

Purpose:  to evaluate the chronological and dental age of children in Lviv and the Lviv region aged 10-13 years with the help of the modified formula Cameriere.  Methods. Оrthopantomograms  46 children (26 boys and 20 girls) aged 10-13 years from Lviv and Lviv region have been used for this study. A questionnaire was developed for the submission of individual patient data and a standardized format for making their indicators derived from orthopantomograms (OPG). The examination of the area of the lower seven teeth on the left was done using the Cameriere method and the age of the child was evaluated, which was further compared with the chronological age.  Results.The obtained results of the study showed a high accuracy and reliability of the estimation of dental age in children up to 10-13 years with the help of the Cameriere formula modified by us. The research is based on the detection of physiological changes (the rate of formation of the roots) in the permanent teeth of children using the X-ray method.  Evaluating the results obtained by two methods, among girls and boys of the selected age group, a statistically significant strong correlation between the chronological age and the age calculated by the Cameriere method was revealed. Cameriere research has been carried out in many countries around the world and, in particular, in European countries, by implementing the general formula. Children in the period of occlusive bite remain the most critical in terms of age and, therefore, the determination of the correct time for dental interventions. In this age group, the development of permanent teeth passes through different stages and depends on many factors of the environment, genetic, geographical and food factors. The process of teething also affects many local factors, such as space and space for a permanent tooth in the dental artery and the loss of temporary precursors. Even with a large number of factors affecting the eruption and formation of permanent teeth in children, this method showed high accuracy and independence. In order to assess the Cameriere method among the children under study and its further practical application, a comparison was made between the age obtained using this methodology and the chronological age of the children under study in different age groups, both among boys and girls. Analyzing the obtained data, it was found that the mean of chronological age among the studied boys aged 10-11 (n = 14) was 11.02 ± 0.59 years, and the Cameriere method was 10.63 ± 1.03 years.  Student's assessment did not reveal a significant difference between the data (p = 0.22) for the age group of 10-11 years.  Further analysis among the studied boys revealed that in the age group 12-13 years the average chronological age was 12.94 ± 0.49 years, and the age was determined by the Cameriere method 12.59 ± 0.63 years, and no significant difference was established between them  (p = 0.14). The results of the studies have shown the suitability of the Cameriere formula modified during the process, based on the assessment of open tops and the number of teeth with completed root formation as a marker for the physiological development of the child and one that can be used to determine the child's age.Since studies had a limited age range on a particular sample of dental patients, further studies should evaluate the utility of this method in a larger sample of children in the extended age range of the given region of Ukraine and, if possible, adjust the formula we modified for the stability of the averaged indicators in different samples by age and sex.

Aim. The determination of age-specific coefficients of pathologies in the team of SUE “Vodokanal of St. Petersburg” for 2015–2017. Methods. The study was conducted in the Medical unit of SUE “Vodokanal of St. Petersburg” in 2015–2017. 8600 people were followed up for 3 years. During the study, extensive indicators of the structure of the pathological process and intensive indicators characterizing its prevalence were calculated. Results. As a result of the study, it was found that the first place (27.1%) in the structure of pathologies both in men and women is occupied by diseases of the eye and its adnexa. At the second ranked place (25.7%) there were diseases of the circulatory system. As a result of the study, age groups with a high rate of increase in morbidity were identified. Thus, the rate of increase in the detection of pathology of the circulatory system at the transition from the age group below 25 years to the age group 25–29 years was 73.7% among men and 80.4% among women. It was found that diseases of the ear and mastoid process were more common among men, and the greatest increase in the incidence was recorded in the age group 25–29 years. At the same time, diseases of the genitourinary system were more common in women, and the highest incidence rate was revealed in the age group 40–44 years. Conclusion. Тhe results indicate the need for a differentiated approach to planning the volume of preventive work in different age groups of employees of the housing and communal services enterprise.

OBJECTIVE: To assess immunity to diphtheria in a sample of Canadian adults.DESIGN: A seroprevalence study of a group of plasmapheresis donors was performed over a four-month period in 1996. A convenience sample of 1619 sera was collected to obtain a good distribution by age groups and centres. The determination of diphtheria antitoxin concentrations was performed by neutralization of diphtheria toxin in cell culture.SUBJECTS: A total of 1619 plasmapheresis donors from Halifax, Quebec City, London, Calgary and Edmonton were studied.RESULTS: Of the 1619 sera, 20.3% tested showed susceptibility to diphtheria (antitoxin concentration less than 0.01 IU/mL). The proportion of susceptibles increased from 9.5% in subjects 30 to 39 years of age to 36.3% in those 60 years of age or more. The age group 20 to 29 years demonstrated a higher proportion of susceptibles (18.3%) than the next age group (30 to 39 years) in four of the five centres. Significant differences in antibody levels were also observed among the centres. There was no statistically significant difference between sexes.CONCLUSIONS: Overall, detectable antibody and presumably immunity to diphtheria in the present sample of Canadian adults is relatively good. However, reason(s) for the relatively high proportion of susceptibles in those aged 20 to 29 years of age in certain centres, as well as why Canada has not experienced any diphtheria outbreaks in the past 20 years given these susceptibility levels, should be investigated further.

The aim of this study was to identify career patterns in German youth national teams and investigate differences between the patterns in relative age effect and transition rate to professional senior football. Also, player transitions between age group levels were traced to identify squad politics of German Football Association. We examined all 636 youth national team players born between 1987 and 1994, who represented Germany between U16 and U21, as well as all senior national team players born in those age groups. We identified eight typical career types. It was found that youth national team careers lasting one or two years make up 60.5%, which shows a high fluctuation between age groups. Moreover, early and short youth national team careers mostly do not end in a professional career, while late and long youth national team careers more likely lead to a successful career in senior football. Regarding relative age effect, it could be shown that its effect size is highest the younger the age of the player is. Predominantly short careers and a high fluctuation between age groups evidence a short-term strategy in talent development by German Football Association selecting the momentary best players instead of searching for prospects.
