Background: Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) are a common reason for patients to present at dental offices. The majority of people with TMD are women between the age of 20 and 40 years. The purpose of this study was to assess the types and prevalence of temporomandibular disorders in female patients of reproductive age with menstrual disorders. Materials and methods: The study involved 65 females of reproductive age (18–40 years, an average of 28.00 ± 6.27 years). The women who qualified for the study were patients of the University Center for Maternal and Newborn’s Health hospitalized because of infertility or menstrual cycle disorders. Women with confirmed estrogen metabolism disorders participated in a clinical study with the use of Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (DC/TMD). Results: In the studied female patients with menstrual disorders, temporomandibular disorders (92.3%) were frequent occurrences. The most common type was intra-articular joint disorders (68%). Other reported complaints included masticatory muscle pain (44.62%), and degenerative joint diseases (12.3%). Conclusions: 1. In women with menstrual disorders, TMD may exist. 2. In women with TMD symptoms, their medical history should be extended to include the diagnosis of female hormone disorders.

Malaria is, along with tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS, one of the three most dangerous infectious diseases in the world. In the absence of native cases since 1963, malaria has remained in Poland an exclusively imported disease, mainly occurring in people travelling to tropical and subtropical areas for professional reasons. The aim of this study was the epidemiological and clinical analysis of 82 patients admitted to the University Center for Maritime and Tropical Medicine (UCMTM), Gdynia, Poland, with a diagnosis of malaria between 2002 and 2014. The “typical” patient with malaria was male, middle-aged, returned from Africa within the preceding 4 weeks, had not used appropriate chemoprophylaxis, and had not applied nonpharmacological methods of prophylaxis, except for window insect screens.P. falciparumwas the most frequent species. The most common symptoms included fever, shivers and intensive sweating, thrombocytopenia, elevated creatinine, LDH, D-dimers and CRP, hepatomegaly, and splenomegaly. Within the analyzed group, severe malaria according to WHO standards was diagnosed in 20.7% of patients. Our report presents analysis of the largest series of patients treated for imported malaria in Poland.

The purpose of this study is to present a diagnosis of the level of development of the informational and digital competencies that the postgraduate students of the University Center of the North (CUNorte) possess. These two variables of Information Literacy are evaluated through a questionnaire organized in five dimensions: capacity, access, evaluation and use of information; and basic notions in the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). The results show evidence of some of the competencies acquired by students and graduates of postgraduate courses, however there are opportunities to strengthen their disciplinary development and facilitate their research processes. The answers provided by the students and their consecutive analysis highlight the need to complement the diagnosis using other techniques to assess the knowledge and skills that make up the informational and digital competencies whose development is evaluated. Regarding the contribution of the study, considering the factor analysis of the component matrix rotated in the instrument, it is summarized that it is feasible to develop a diploma that provides the necessary tools to enrich the aforementioned competencies.

The establishment of a new surveying engineering program at The University of Calgary represents a major milestone in the history of the surveying profession in Canada. It is the first university surveying engineering center west of Ontario, and the establishment of the program required two decades of dedicated work by the profession in western Canada. This program includes an undergraduate component, graduate studies, research activities and continuing education. The Division of Surveying Engineering started in September, 1979, with two full-time professors, five sessional lecturers and 22 undergraduate students. Three additional full-time professors are joining the Division for the second semester, and about 10 graduate students have already applied for graduate programs. When fully operational, circa 1981, the Division of Surveying Engineering will have about 12 teaching members and will occupy 900 m2 of newly renovated floor space in The University of Calgary engineering complex.

The article addresses the problem of organizing Olympiads and competitions for schoolchildren and students by the University to identify and support them in their individual educational and career trajectory, with the participation of employers in the region. To solve this problem, I.N. Ulianov Chuvash State University is implementing a number of projects in the partnership system «school – University – enterprise». The article highlights the activities of the Centre for working with the talented youth of I.N. Ulianov Chuvash State University aimed at realization of the strategic project roadmap of the University «Formation and development of the complex for popularization of promising careers, engaging and support of the talented youth in the system of multilevel anticipatory staff training». The article describes a unique experience in organizing academic Olympiads and creative design contests for schoolchildren in conjunction with innovative enterprises of the Chuvash Republic, among which are: «Hope of Chuvashia electrical engineering», «Hope of Chuvashia mechanical engineering», «Builders of the future », «Electronics 4.0», «IT-Ring». Winners and prizeholders of these academic Olympiads and contests get involved into the work of professional navigational guidance platform of the University «Center for career planning». Currently, the University is actively working on adaptation and introduction of the tutorship model. Key indicators of Olympiad movement efficiency in the network of cooperation with enterprises are provided. An analysis of these indicators makes it possible to conclude that various academic Olympiads and competitive activities for schoolchildren held together with enterprises-partners increase the number of winners and prize-holders of the highest level academic Olympiads entering the University. The article also discusses the forms of supplementary education for gifted schoolchildren and their teachers-tutors. It is stated that the value is not holding Olympiads and identifying talented schoolchildren, but regular classes with them in clubs and in supplementary education courses. It is concluded that by attracting talented graduates of secondary educational institutions to enter the University and their active participation in student Olympiad movement organized in partnership with leading innovative enterprises, the problem of professional elite developing in the region is successfully being solved.
