Anatomical terminology carries an important semantic characteristic of organs and separate parts of the human body. The term in anatomy is a word that has a special, strictly defined meaning, unambiguous. Each term in human anatomy from the point of view of the anatomical nomenclature should have a certain characteristic, reflecting its uniqueness. However, this is not always possible. From these positions, the definition of the segment of the spinal cord is of interest. A characteristic feature of the external organization of the spinal cord is the periodicity of the exits of symmetrically arranged radicular filaments in the form of the posterior and anterior roots and the absence of visible external division into segments. The authors propose to define the segment of the spinal cord as a conditionally isolated part of the spinal cord in the form of a flattened cylinder (thickened disc), including regions with a symmetrically extending pair of spinal nerves and half of the intercortical distances located above and below the rootlets.

This article is the fourth and last part of a series aimed at extending and correcting the anatomical nomenclature. Because of the rapid development of internet and the use of electronic formats in communication in anatomy, embryology, histology, medical education and clinical medicine, an appropriate, precise and concise anatomical nomenclature is required. Such tool enables to avoid any potential confusion and possible scientific/medical mistakes. The up-to-date official anatomical terminology, Terminologia Anatomica, is available longer than 20 years and needs to be refined and extended. The authors have collected and listed 210 terms and completed them with definitions and/or explanations. We aimed to start a discussion about their potential incorporation into the new revised version of the Terminologia Anatomica. This article is primarily focused on the vessels of the human body (arteries, veins and lymphatic system).

In general, the reviewed work is one of the best textbooks on the discipline of (human) anatomy, not only in the Russian Federation, but also in some CIS countries, in which it is actively used in the educational process and received of positive responses. It is in demand not only by students, but also by medical practitioners. It should be emphasized once again that this is a thoroughly revised, supplemented reissue. It retains the traditional form and method of presenting the material, familiar to many generations of former students, and now doctors, focuses on the heading of sections, supplemented the illustrative series, created summarizing tables on blood supply and innervation, highlighted the most important information necessary for the subsequent study of clinical disciplines. All changes and additions made by the author will facilitate preparation for the exam and are very important for subsequent practice. The main advantage of the reviewed textbook is the originality of the presentation of the material. The author managed to comply with the modern requirements of state educational standards of the third generation and in an accessible form to present the material, which is the basis for the subsequent study of a number of theoretical and all clinical disciplines. The information presented is accurate, reliable and scientifically proven, anatomical terms are given in accordance with the international anatomical nomenclature TA-1 (1999). In such a large work, some inaccuracies and typos cannot be avoided; some classifications proposed in the textbook are controversial. The point of view presented by the author is traditional for the morphological school of the Military Medical Academy, it is supported by a number of prominent anatomists and has a right to exist.

Endoscopic operations on the frontal sinus and anterior ethmoid labyrinth are among the most technically difficult in rhinosurgery. This results from the wide variability of the anatomical relationships of the elements involved in the formation of the ventilation pathway and sinus outflow. In addition, problems arise regarding the definition of suprastructural components that play a key role in the pathogenesis of diseases of the frontal sinuses: frontal recess, ostium, and drainage pathway of the frontal sinus. The article aims to review the nomenclature of the anatomical elements of the anterior ethmoid labyrinth and suprastructural components that are presented as contradictory in various literature sources. The authors pay special attention to the process of rhinological nomenclature developing in the historical aspect, determine its place in general anatomical terminology, call attention to the applied aspects of its use and development prospects. In the author’s opinion, a clear and orderly nomenclature allows to some extent simplifying the understanding of rather confusing anatomy of the anterior ethmoid labyrinth, which is critically important both in practice and in scientific research.

The times that show the existence of learning innovations using online devices require learning innovations. The purpose of this research is to develop learning media for human body anatomy based on Lectora Inspire. The method used in research which is research and development (Research & Development). Lectora Inspire is an application that is used to develop instructional media products. In this study, the researchers analyzed that learning human body anatomy based on lectora inspire was still not widely used. Therefore, research on this learning media is quite urgent to do. Researchers provide a different point of view regarding lectora inspire-based learning media. In doing the validation, the researchers tested the material, media and learning validation by experts in their fields. Data were analyzed using quantitative descriptive analysis techniques that were expressed in the distribution of scores and a predetermined category rating scale. The sample used involved students who took part in the learning. Based on the results of the evaluation in the field of material received an average score of 4.19 and categorized as good. Evaluation in the media sector has an average score of 4.31 and is categorized as good, and students' responses in the small group average score of 4.26 are categorized as good. From the results of this study it can be concluded that the Lectora Inspire application is very effective in using learning media, especially human anatomy because it is supported by features that can facilitate the learning process

The use of antibodies as labels for the localization of specific molecules in the nervous systan has been extensively applied in recent years. Both monoand polyclonal antibodies or antisera have been employed. The knowledge of the organization of neuronal connectivities, gliovascular relationships, glioneuronal relationships and other features of nerve tissue has greatly increased.A number of areas of the nervous systan have been analyzed in our laboratory, including the nuclei of the raphe system, the reticular formation, interpeduncular nucleus, substantia nigra, caudate nucleus, putamen, pallidum, spinal cord, pineal gland and others.From a technical point of view, a number of variables needed to be taken into account in order to obtain reliable and reproducible results. The design of the optimal conditions of tissue fixation, embedding, sectioning, dilution of antibodies, and adaptation of Sternberger PAP technique were sane of the parameters taken into account to optimize the results. It is critical that each step of the technique be defined for each particular case.

Abstract. The article discusses the emergence of a functional literacy construct and the rediscovery of illiteracy in industrialized countries during the second half of the 20th century. It offers a short explanation of how the construct evolved over time. In addition, it explores how functional (il)literacy is conceived differently by research discourses of cognitive and neural studies, on the one hand, and by prescriptive and normative international policy documents and adult education, on the other hand. Furthermore, it analyses how literacy skills surveys such as the Level One Study (leo.) or the PIAAC may help to bridge the gap between cognitive and more practical and educational approaches to literacy, the goal being to place the functional illiteracy (FI) construct within its existing scale levels. It also sheds more light on the way in which FI can be perceived in terms of different cognitive processes and underlying components of reading. By building on the previous work of other authors and previous definitions, the article brings together different views of FI and offers a perspective for a needed operational definition of the concept, which would be an appropriate reference point for future educational, political, and scientific utilization.

Contrast-detail (C-D) curves are useful in evaluating the radiographic image quality in a global way. The objective of the present study was to obtain the C-D curves and the inverse image quality figure. Both of these parameters were used as an evaluation tool for abdominal and chest imaging protocols. The C-D curves were obtained with the phantom CDRAD 2.0 in computerized radiography and the direct radiography systems (including portable devices). The protocols were 90 and 102 kV in the range of 2 to 20 mAs for the chest and 80 kV in the range of 10 to 80 mAs for the abdomen. The incident air kerma values were evaluated with a solid state sensor. The analysis of these C-D curves help to identify which technique would allow a lower value of the entrance surface air kerma, Ke, while maintaining the image quality from the point of view of C-D detectability. The results showed that the inverse image quality figure, IQFinv, varied little throughout the range of mAs, while the value of Ke varied linearly directly with the mAs values. Also, the complete analysis of the curves indicated that there was an increase in the definition of the details with increasing mAs. It can be concluded that, in the transition phase for the use of the new receptors, it is necessary to evaluate and adjust the practised protocols to ensure, at a minimum, the same levels of the image quality, taking into account the aspects of the radiation protection of the patient.

The article is devoted to the study of personal names from a cognitive point of view. The study is based on the cognitive concept that speech actually exists not in the speech, not in linguistic writings and dictionaries, but in consciousness, in the mental lexicon, in the language of the brain. The conditions for identifying personal names can encompass not only the context, encyclopedias, and reference books, but also the sound form of the word. In the communicative process, during a free associative experiment, which included a name and a recipient’s mental lexicon. The recipient was assigned a task to quickly give some association to the name. The aggregate of a certain number of reactions of different recipients forms the associative field of a proper name. The associative experiment creates the best conditions for identifying the lexeme. The definition of a monosemantic personal name primarily includes the search of what it denotes, while during the process of identifying a polysemantic personal name recipients tend have different reactions. Scientific value is posed by the effect of the choice of letters for the name, sound symbolism, etc. The following belong to the generalized forms of identification: usage of a hyperonym; synonyms and periphrases or simple descriptions; associations denoting the whole (name stimulus) by reference to its part (associatives); cognitive structures such as “stimulus — association” and “whole (stimulus) — part (associative)”; lack of adjacency; mysterious associations. The topicality of the study is determined by its perspective to identify the directions of associative identification of proper names, which is one of the branches of cognitive onomastics. The purpose of the study is to identify, review, and highlight the directions of associative identification of proper names; the object of the research is the names in their entirety and variety; its subject is the existence of names in the mental lexicon, which determines the need for singling out the directions for the associative identification of the personal names.

In this article, a model of the mechanism of ensuring public security and orderliness in accordance with the principles and tasks of the relevant institu- tions in public administration, taking into account resources, technologies, mea- sures for the state policy implementation in the spheres of ensuring the protection of human rights and freedoms, the interests of society and the state, combating crime, maintaining public security and order. It was found that ensuring public security and order in Ukraine is a mechanism for the implementation of national goals of state policy in the areas of ensuring the protection of human rights and freedoms, the interests of society and the state, combating crime, maintaining public security and order, by defining tasks according to certain principles. The idea is that if one considers the state policy in the spheres of ensuring the protec- tion of human rights and freedoms, the interests of society and the state, combat- ing crime, maintaining public security and order as a national priority (purpose, task), then the mechanism of ensuring public security and order in Ukraine needs coordination with the state development strategy. From the point of view of the implementation of the state policy in the areas of ensuring the protection of hu- man rights and freedoms, the interests of society and the state, combating crime, maintaining public security and order, the mechanism of ensuring public security and order in Ukraine can be considered as the main system providing intercon- nection such elements as institutions (implementing the specified state policy), resources (human resources, logistical, natural and so on, with the help of which it is possible to implement state policy), technologies (skills, knowledge, means and so on the implementation of state policy), measures (action plans), as well as external (internal) threats.
