Development Of Students

The change in living conditions and the intensity of the educational process affect the health of students, so it is required that the standards and standards of physical development should be regularly updated. 2439 students including 1107 boys and 1432 girls from four Universities of Ufa were involved in the survey. It is provided a representative sample of the volume using the correlation method and it is allowed developing table-standards for assessing the physical development of students. The correlation dependence of the average degree between body length and body weight was established (the value of the correlation coefficient varies from 0.32 to 0.59 among boys and from 0.3 to 0.51 among girls). The correlation mainly averages between height and chest circumference among boys aged 18 years (r =0.52), 20 years (r =0.45); and among girls - at the age of 17 (r =0.32), 22 (r =0.32). Out of the total number of tested cases, average physical development of male students was 68.45% and 68.82% in female students; 13.33% of male students and 13.13% of female students showed this index below average; 14.85% of male students and 13.29% of female students had this index above average; low physical development was observed in 1.85% of male students and 3.3% of female students; high physical development could be found among 1.52% of male students and 1.46% of female students. Analysis of the body mass index of the tested students indicates 76.0% of boys and 68.84% of girls to be characterized as having a physiologically normal state, excess body weight is observed in 10.5% of boys and 4.82% of girls (p<0.05). Regional approaches to the study of physical development are justified from the standpoint of expanding the all-Russian system of monitoring the state of physical development of students, planning recreational activities in the activities of higher education institutions, regional and municipal health systems and education; individualization of the process of physical education; construction of state programs in the field of youth political and sports.

The aim of the study is to study the characteristics of the influence of actual nutrition and energy consumption among young girls on the emergence and development of overweight and obesity. Materials and methods . We carried out the study on the basis of the Medical Institute of Derzhavin Tambov State University. We examined 236 girls aged 18-22; studied somatometric features of physical development, body weight components; evaluated physique, actual nutrition and energy consumption. The somatometric program included the determination of 25 signs measured according to the standard method using the automated complex CMD “Healthy Child” (TVES Russia). The diagnosis of overweight syndrome, which included overweight and obese girls, was performed by body mass index. Evaluation of actual power supply and power consumption was carried out by frequency method with subsequent application of computer program “Analysis of human power supply condition” (version 1.2.4) of State Department of Scientific and Research Institute of Power Supply of RAMN. Statistical results were processed using SPSS Statistics (version 17.0). We assessed the accuracy of the differences using the Student and Mann-Whitney criteria. Results . Among girls with overweight syndrome there is a reliable increase in body weight due to fat, preferential subcutaneous and a decrease in the relative value of skinny body weight and muscle weight. Their daily energy rates did not differ from the level of control, but they spent 1 less energy per 1 kg of body weight. The calorie content and chemical composition of the diet of girls with overweight syndrome was mostly not reliably different from female students with normal body weight. Odeveloped under normostenic and hypersthenic physique types. Discussion . Energy consumption, including physical load, is a factor of overweight syndrome formation among female students and anthropometric signs of this syndrome should control its application.

Students belong to a group of high health risks, since during this period of development, young people are under the influence of the inevitable processes of active physiological restructuring of the body and intensive socialization of the individual. The purpose of the study is the anthropometric indicators and indices of physical development of 1648 girls aged 17-21 of the Republic Mordovia. Anthropometric measurements included the determination of the following parameters: body weight, standing and sitting body length, circumference of the chest, shoulder, forearm, wrist, thigh, abdomen, buttocks, lower leg, ankles. The comprehensive research program was designed in such a way that it was possible to calculate body surface areas, weight and height values, body strength indices and body proportionality indices. It was found that in the studied population, girls have a wide face, a narrow long nose, and a medium-sized skull. The majority of the population is characterized by the absence of excess body weight. Girls have a normosthenic type of constitution, have an average level of physical development, an average level of body density. Among female students, a mesomorphic type of physique is common with proportional body development, a normal proportion of the bone component and a slightly increased proportion of fat and muscle components. The inversion and dysplasia of sexual dimorphism revealed in the course of the study may be a response of a more labile female body to the negative influences of social and environmental factors.

The article presents the results of a study of the physical development of healthy children and children with congenital malformations under the age of 2 years. It was found that the body weight of children with congenital malformations in all age periods is lower than that of healthy children (P<0.01, P<0.05); the growth of healthy children is significantly higher than that of children with congenital malformations (P<0.05, P<0.001). The prevalence of age-appropriate harmonious physical development in healthy children at birth (60%); in the dynamics of significant are high disharmonious development, upper middle and secondary harmonious development (girls); the average upper middle and harmonious development, upper middle disharmonious development (boys). Children with congenital malformations are characterized by a decrease in the proportion of harmonious physical development (53.2%), an increase in the proportion of sharply disharmonious development (20.4%), a significant frequency of children with body weight deficit (30.7%). In all age periods significant are: average harmonious development, average disharmonious development with excess body weight of 1 degree and deficiency of body weight of 1 degree (girls); average harmonious development, low sharply disharmonious development with deficiency of body weight of 1-2 degrees, average sharply disharmonious development with deficiency of body weight of 2 degrees (boys). For children with severe congenital malformations and lethal outcome in the neonatal period is characterized by disharmonious mortalitate at birth (60-65%). Prevail low and below average indicators of physical development with deficiency of body weight of 1-2 degrees.

Abstract. The success of students' adaptation to the educational process depends on individual psychophysiological features, which are manifested in the behavioral strategy. Materials and methods. The study involved 76 young males and 132 females, the average age was 21.6 ± 0.2 years. Evaluation of the behavioral strategy in conflict interaction was carried out using the method of K. Thomas; the structure of aggression was studied with the help of the A. Buss and A. Durkee hostility inventory; the level of reactive and personal anxiety was measured with Spielberger state trait anxiety inventory (Spilberger-Khanin test). The neurodynamic properties were evaluated using the results obtained in the “Simple visual-motor reaction” and “Choice reaction” test. Mathematical processing of the results was carried out using Statistiсa 6.0. The compliance of the data with the normal distribution was checked by the Kolmogorov-Smirnov criterion. Differences were considered significant at p ≤ 0.05. Results. Tuvan students revealed gender differences in behavior in conflict situations: female students mostly demonstrated an effective behavioral strategy, while male students were characterized by an ineffective behavioral strategy. Female students with a neutral behavioral strategy (16.7%) were characterized by high indices of aggressiveness and hostility and low values of reactive anxiety. A high level of personal anxiety was found in all female students regardless of their behavioral strategy. Male students with high values of aggressiveness, reactive and personal anxiety were identified in isolated cases in a group with an effective behavioral strategy. In female students, the latent period of a simple visual-motor reaction was associated with a behavioral strategy. In male students, differences in the latent period of a simple visual-motor reaction were not detected regardless of the strategies of behavior. The functional level of the central nervous system of all the students studied, regardless of the strategy of behavior, was characterized as "slightly reduced." According to the data obtained for the “stability of the nervous reaction” and “level of functionality”, gender differences were revealed. Conclusion. Neurodynamic features, the prevailing effective strategy of behavior in a conflict situation, and the structure of aggression of Tuvan female students indicate an adequate reactivity of the body, which is confirmed by a “slightly reduced” level of performance. This, probably, provides a more successful adaptation to the educational process compared to male students.

Traditionally, anthropometric method is used in clinical practice for the diagnosis of excess body weight. Obesity is the excess development of primarily visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissue, which can be diagnosed by bioimpedance analysis (BIA). The study was aimed to assess the role of BIA of body composition in the diagnosis of the physical development disorders in children and adolescents. Anthropometric assessment and BIA were performed in 431 Samara school students aged 12–16 of the health status groups I and II (230 boys and 201 girls). The results were analyzed with the use of the regional regression scores, BAZ indices, and the body fat percentage values. The results of estimation using the regression scores showed that 22.61% of boys and 23.43% of girls were overweight, while more than 2/3 of the sample had a normal pattern of physical development. The BAZ indices revealed a significantly higher proportion of overweight children among boys (25.7%), than among girls (11.5%, p < 0.01). The body fat percentage fluctuations based on the BIA data were found not only in children with disharmonious physical development, but also in 60% of children with normal body weight. Moreover, the data of BIA confirmed the body weight fluctuations, revealed with the use of the regression scores, in the significantly larger number of cases compared to the low body weight and excess body weight, diagnosed based on the BAZ indices. Accordingly, anthropometric analysis with the use of the regional regression scores may be used at the baseline for the early diagnosis of the nutritional status disorders in children. To confirm overweight and obesity in children, as well as to provide further treatment, the reliable method for estimation of the body fat content is required, which may be the method of BIA.

Background: Obesity in the 21st century society became an important health problem, alarming both the scientists and medicine doctors around the world. That is why, the search for new drug candidates capable to reduce the body weight is of high concern. Objective: This contribution tends to collect current findings on the biochemistry of obesity and on the application of plants and in particular turmeric tuber – a commonly used spice - as an anti-obesity agent. Methods: Following an introduction on the biochemical characteristics of obesity, the description of Curcuma secondary metabolites, their pharmacological applications and a study on the plants’ regulatory properties in obesity was summarized. Particular attention was paid to curcumin – the major metabolite present in the extracts of Curcuma spp., which is known to exhibit a variety of pharmacological actions. Also, the characteristics of some semisynthetic analogues of this ferulic acid derivative, characterized by a higher polarity and better bioavailability will be discussed. Results: Numerous scientific papers treat on the influence of turmeric on weight loss. Additionally, some of them describe its anti-inflammatory properties. Conclusions: This important spice tends to fight the 21st century plague, which is an excessive weight gain, related to the development of metabolic syndrome, to the occurrence of cardiovascular problems and diabetes, and, in consequence, leading to a significant shortening of life span. As herein proven, the extracts of turmeric play an important role in the regulation of inflammatory reactions which are evoked in the overweight patients, helping them reduce the excess body weight.

abstract – This study aimed to identify the prevalence of excess body weight in university students from a representative state in Brazil's southern region and establish associations with the demographic, university environment, and health behavior correlates. A random sample of 5,310 university students answered an online questionnaire with demographic, university environment, and eight health behavior data. Excess body weight was identified using the body mass index (BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2). The data were processed using bivariate analysis and hierarchical multiple regression. The overall prevalence of excess body weight exposure was equivalent to 39.1% [35.7-42.6], with significantly different rates between gender, age, and marital status. Likewise, housing type and study year showed significant associations with excess body weight. Among health behavior indicators, with control of all other variables involved in the model, depressive symptoms (p = 0.031), high stress (p = 0.045), sleep duration < 6 hours/night (p < 0.001), moderate-vigorous physical activity < 150 min/week (p = 0.022) and fruit/vegetable consumption < 5 servings per day (p < 0.001) were independently associated with the outcome. However, tobacco use, binge drinking, and prescription drug misuse did not remain in the adjusted multivariate model. In conclusion, the findings emphasize the importance of proposing and implementing multifaceted preventive intervention actions to prevent health outcomes related to excess body weight, once since significant associations with modifiable factors have been identified.

The relevance of the study is conditioned by rapid transition to digital forms of education, which is associated with the pandemic. Students have changed the way they interact with teachers and with each other, which constantly leads to transformation of personal meanings, values, rethinking of their purpose and role in the educational process. The purpose of the study, presented in the article, is to investigate unusual characteristics of the semantic sphere regarding male and female students’ academic activity. Hypothesis: semantic content of academic activity differs in male and female students. Participants are first-year full-time students, studying at the Faculty of Psychology, Faculty of Engineering and Economics and Faculty of Human Resources Management (N = 102, aged from 18 to 22 years, 52 participants are female students and 50 participants are male students). The participants were tested using Life-Purpose Orientations Test (D. A. Leontiev) and the Ultimate Meanings Technique (D. A. Leontiev). Based on the latter methodology, the entire sample was divided into five groups depending on the presence of a certain meaning. The conjugation of ultimate meanings and gender was determined using φ-Pearson criterion, while MANOVA criterion helped to investigate differences in life-purpose orientations depending on gender and ultimate meanings. We established differentiation within ultimate meanings in education depending on gender of a student: men are focused on respect and safety, while women are focused on getting pleasure and gaining confidence. We found that women connect getting pleasure and gaining confidence while learning with monitoring their lives, whereas male students connect it with the ultimate meanings of security and respect, satisfaction with their own lives and the feeling of being able to influence their life. The obtained results can help to draw the following conclusion: development of the individual system of life-purpose orientations and its functioning in the educational situation are interconnected with gender as one of the most essential biosocial characteristics of an individual.

Hypercaloric Diet

Phytotherapy for the correction of excess body weight is widely used. However, a comprehensive study of herbal preparations on the organism of model animals has been carried out only for a few plant species. Supplementing the diet of rats with closely related sage species (Salvia officinalis L. and S. sclarea L.) against the background of high-fat hypercaloric diet triggered multidirectional changes in their metabolism. The addition of crushed dry shoots of S. officinalis to the diet of animals led to a sharp increase in their body weight (up to 130.8% of the initial one in 30 days of the experiment). The body weight of the rats treated with S. sclarea for 30 days increased only up to 103.8% of their initial weight and was lower than in the control group. Addition of S. officinalis caused an increase in daily weight gain up to 253.1% of the control group, and S. sclarea – its decrease to 27.8% of the daily weight gain in the control group. In the S. officinalis group, the relative weight of the brain, spleen, and thymus decreased, while in the S. sclarea group, the relative weight of the thymus decreased and that of the colon increased. Under the influence of S. officinalis, the concentration of urea, total bilirubin, and triglycerides in the blood plasma of male rats decreased and the concentration of total protein and the activity of alkaline phosphatase increased. While consuming S. sclarea shoots, there was an increase of alkaline phosphatase activity in the rats’ blood, but atherogenic index (23.1% of the level of the control group) sharply dropped due to an increase in the concentration of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (286.9% of the control) and a decrease in the concentration of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (67.7% of control). In rats feeding on S. sclarea shoots, we observed a decrease in the concentration of triglycerides in the blood (39.9% of the control), a decrease in the activity of gamma-glutamyl transferase (62.8%), and an increase in the Ca/P ratio (132.5% of the control group). No significant changes were observed in CBC and WBC differential of male rats when eating S. officinalis and S. sclarea shoots. According to the results of the open field test, the physical and orientational activity of male rats under the influence of S. officinalis significantly decreased by the end of the experiment. Emotional status of rats, on the contrary, decreased when they ate dry crushed shoots of S. sclarea in the composition of the food. Thus, excess body weight of rats in the conditions of hypercaloric diet led to more pronounced deviations from the norm while consuming dry crushed shoots of S. officinalis. The addition of S. sclarea dry crushed shoots to the animals’ diet normalized the body weight in comparison with the control group, reduced the negative manifestations of obesity at the biochemical and organismal levels. In this regard, the substances that contains S. sclarea should be carefully studied for anti-atherosclerotic activity, and tea supplemented with S. sclarea shoots can be recommended as a corrective supplement in the diet of overweight people.
