The main priorities in the formation of rations and the form of organization of supply have been determined. Children's nutrition is the most important component of the formation of a child's health, it contributes to the preservation of health, resistance to physical factors of the environment, high physical and mental capacity. Before the COVID-19 crisis, at least one in every two primary school students received daily school meals in 161 countries (equivalent to 388 million children). For millions of vulnerable children in poor countries around the world, free school meals are a vital component of their daily diet. A balanced school meal program is the key to optimizing the nutrition of the entire population of the country. School feeding programs play an important political role and are increasingly implemented by governments as a priority in national development strategies. Over the past decade, low-income countries have significantly increased their financial and policy efforts for school feeding, resulting in an increase in the number of school children receiving school meals. While school feeding programs in high- and middle-income countries are largely financed through domestic resources such as taxes and other sources, programs in low-income countries rely heavily on international donor support. According to the leading domestic hygienists, despite the ongoing conflict, one of the important priorities of our country is the continuation of the reform of school nutrition in order to bring it into line with international quality standards. Adhering to the basic principles of a complete and rational diet, you can achieve success even in conditions of limited resources. Keywords: hygiene of children and adolescents, children's health, world experience in the organization of schoolchildren's meals, preventive medicine.","PeriodicalId":495127,"journal":{"name":"Inter collegas","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135978328","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

During studying, international students require integration into a new linguistic and socio-cultural environment, an unusual climate, large volumes of rather complex new information, new forms and methods of educational process organization, emerging problems outside the educational process, separation from relatives and friends, all this inevitably causes students have new emotional experiences and mental states. The aim of the research was to study the modern features of the states of psychological maladjustment of international medical English medium (EM) students. Materials & Methods. 372 international year 1-6 EM students of Kharkiv National Medical University (223 men and 149 women) with an average age of (19±3) years were examined. All the examinees were divided into three groups: Group 1 – 194 students from India; Group 2 – 96 students from other Asian countries (Pakistan, Lebanon, and Syria); Group 3 – 82 students from African countries (Sudan, Tunisia, Morocco, Egypt, Namibia, and Israel). Results & Conclusions. The conducted psychodiagnostic study showed that students with a high and moderate level of maladjustment have clinical manifestations of anxiety according to Hamilton Anxiety and Depression Rating Scales (29.8% of students of Group 1, 30.1% of Group 2, 29.9% of Group 3) and subclinical manifestations of anxiety (36.2%; 39.5% and 41.1% of students, respectively). Clinical manifestations of depression were typical for 12.4% of students of Group 1, 14.2% of students of Group 2, and 13.4% of students of Group 3; subclinical manifestations of depression – for 21.1%, 19.6% and 19.9%, respectively. The analysis of the expressiveness of the manifestations of hypotensive states allowed distinguishing asthenodepressive (23.1% of the examined Group 1, 15.8% of Group 2 and 25.6% of Group 3), hypersthenic (29.9%; 29.8% and 22.2% of the examinees, respectively), anxious (25.5% of the students of Group 1, 18.9% – of Group 2, 31.1% – of Group 3) and dysphoric (21.5%; 35.5% and 21.1%, respectively) syndromes.

Kotelban","doi":"10.35339/ic.10.1.kot","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.35339/ic.10.1.kot","url":null,"abstract":"Background. The incidence of dental caries is high regardless of age and region. In this regard, there is a need to study the risk factors for the development of caries, in particular, the physicochemical properties of oral fluid as one of them. Aim of the research was to study the physico-chemical properties of oral fluid in children with caries of different levels of intensity and in caries free children. Materials & Methods. An examination of 6-year-old children living in Bukovina was conducted. The following observation groups were selected: Group I – 69 children suffering from caries, and Group II – 26 caries free children. The rate of saliva secretion, physicochemical properties of oral fluid were studied: pH, viscosity, buffer capacity. The probability of the results was statistically assessed. Results. In children with different levels of caries intensity, the level of salivation differed: for children with a high level of intensity was characterized by a low level of salivation, and for children with a low level – a high level of salivation. The viscosity of saliva was increased in children with caries of varying intensity. The buffer capacity of saliva was low in children with low levels of caries and very low in children with high levels of caries. PH in children with medium and high intensity was below normal. The analysis of the results of the Test of enamel resistance depending on caries activity showed that in children with a low level of intensity of caries, the enamel was conditionally resistant, and under the conditions of medium and high levels of intensity – the average structural and functional resistance of the enamel and the average acid resistance of the teeth. Conclusions. Thus, in children suffering from caries with different levels of intensity, there are changes in the quantitative and qualitative parameters of the oral fluid, which lead to disorders of the homeostasis of the oral cavity and deepening of the pathological process in the hard tissues of the teeth.

Zelenska","doi":"10.35339/ic.10.1.zel","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.35339/ic.10.1.zel","url":null,"abstract":"Background. A volunteer is a person who voluntarily joins socially oriented non-profit activities, carried out by providing free assistance in various areas of the population’s life. Volunteering is usually associated with the specifics of contact with human losses and suffering, and in the event of an armed conflict, it can be accompanied by additional psychological, physical and emotional stress. During armed conflicts, volunteers are faced with a significant change in the rhythm of life for a large number of the country’s population, and in some cases, a risk to the life of the volunteer himself. In general, volunteering is characterized as highly stressful. Aim of the study wis to analyze of the clinical picture of stress-related disorders in volunteers living in the front-line regions. Materials & Methods. In the course of work, a comprehensive clinical-psychopathological and pathopsychological examination of 76 patients suffering from stress-related disorders and living in the front-line regions was conducted. Results & Conclusions. The study involved the patients of both genders (40 women and 36 men), aged 25–65. The clinical structure of stress-related disorders in the examined patients was represented by post-traumatic stress disorder; adjustment disorders, anxiety disorders. The nosological structure of anxiety disorders is represented by episodic paroxysmal anxiety and generalized anxiety disorder. According to the results of the psychodiagnostic study based on the traumatic stress expressiveness scale, 63.1% of the examined men and 66.8% of the women have a partial manifestation, 36.9% and 33.2% of the examined, respectively, a full manifestation of stress disorder. In 55.6% of the examined men and 57.1% of the women, the presence of an extremely high level was noted, in 33.4% and 41.1% of the examined, respectively, an increased level of social frustration, which is due to the specificity of the psychotraumatic situation. Based on the data obtained during the research, a comprehensive personalized system was developed for the correction of stress-related disorders in the examined volunteers. Conclusions. It can be concluded that the clinical structure of stress-related disorders in the exa­mined volunteers is represented by post-traumatic stress disorder, adjustment disorders, anxiety disorders.
