Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common heart rhythm disorder in clinical practice. It worsens the quality of life of patients, leads to an increase in the mortality rate because of its association with a high risk of thromboembolic complications. The current pandemic of a new coronavirus infection, which began in March 2020, was marked by an increase in cardiovascular diseases, including an increase in the number of patients with AF. That is why it is extremely relevant to find answers to questions about the association and mutual influence of AF and coronavirus infection to reduce the risk of vascular complications. However, most research in this area has focused on hospital patients. In this study, an electronic database of outpatients with AF, including patients with a history of COVID-19 infection was analyzed in order to assess the most significant risk factors for complications.

It is essential for pre-service teachers to hold positive beliefs about information and communication technology (ICT) and possess digital skills to integrate digital technology successfully into the teaching and learning environments. Although numerous studies have examined teachers’ attitudes toward ICT, little research has examined teachers’ ICT competency beliefs. This research aimed to explore pre-service teachers’ ICT competence beliefs. We used an instrument developed by previous researchers for data collection. The results showed that the pre-service teachers had good ICT competence beliefs. A few gender differences were found between participants’ mean scores on six dimensions of the data collection instrument. No gender differences were found for many items. It was found that there were no significant differences in the years of study of participants across five different grade levels. However, the lowest mean scores were found in analyzing and reflecting, problem-solving, and information and data literacy. Conversely, the highest mean scores were detected in communication and collaboration, digital content creation, and safety and security. Based on these findings, recommendations have been made for practice and future research.

The proliferation of technology and the heightened significance of e-learning in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic transformed the perspectives and attitudes of educational stakeholders toward educational technology. The objective of this research was to explore the attitudes of higher education students toward e-learning. Data collection was conducted via a questionnaire. The findings demonstrated that the key benefit of e-learning, as reported by a substantial majority (77.0%) of participants, is the convenience of studying from home. This is closely followed by the advantage of learning at one’s own pace, as 69.4% of respondents expressed. A considerable proportion (58.8%) highlighted the comfort factor associated with e-learning, along with the cost-saving aspect of reduced expenses on accommodation and transportation. Other advantages included the ability to access course materials remotely (57.6%) option to record meetings online (51.1%), regarding disadvantages of e-learning, the majority (59.4%) of respondents indicated that e-learning limits interaction with others, followed by social isolation (44.1%), lack of self-discipline (43.5%), internet problems (43.5%). The results showed that e-learning was perceived to be less effective compared to conventional face-to-face learning. Also, we showed that, in general, there is no significant relationship between socio-demographic variables and attitudes toward e-learning. Only a few significant relationships were found regarding demographic variables on attitudes. We made educational implications for the next studies on our results.

This study aimed to explore the impact of different dimensions of communication skills, namely competence (COMP), self-esteem (SELF), social communication challenge (SCC), and listening-speaking (LI-S) on the utilization of information and communication technology (ICT) for student support (SS) and instructional design (ID). This study implemented inferential statistical methods to explore the impact of different dimensions of communication skills on the utilization of ICT among pre-service teachers. A sample of 324 pre-service teachers from Kazan Federal University was examined, utilizing validated scales adapted to the Russian context, with data analyzed using structural equation modeling to identify complex relationships between variables and to ascertain potential differences according to gender and department. The results demonstrated a significant positive relationship between participants’ perceived COMP in communication skills and their information and communication technology competencies (ICTCs), both in SS and ID. This suggests the need for targeted training to enhance educators’ communication competencies for optimal ICT utilization. Conversely, SELF and LI-S communication skills did not significantly influence ICTCs, indicating that these elements do not necessarily result in more effective ICT use in educational contexts. However, handling SCCs was positively associated with ICTCs in ID but not for SS, indicating a nuanced relationship between different communication skills and areas of ICT utilization. The study findings provide implications for professional development programs and underline the importance of certain dimensions of communication skills in leveraging ICT in education. Further research is recommended to verify these findings across different populations and educational settings.

Objective The aim of the study was to assess the role of mid-regional proadrenomedullin (MR-proADM) in comparison with routine laboratory tests in patients with COVID-19. Materials and methods 140 hospitalized patients aged 18 and older with COVID-19 pneumonia were included in prospective single-center study. Routine analyses were performed, and MR-proADM level was measured within the first and the third hospital days using Human MR pro-ADM (Mid-regional pro-adrenomedullin) ELISA Kit with a sensitivity of 0.469 pmol/L (immunofluorescence assay). National Early Warning Score (NEWS) was used for primary assessment of the disease severity. According to disease outcome the patients were divided into two groups: discharged patients ( n = 110, 78.6%) and deceased patients ( n = 30, 21.4%). Results: The groups had no statistically significant difference in sex, comorbidity, body temperature, oxygen saturation level, heart rate, respiratory rate, and C-reactive protein (CRP) level and procalcitonin (PCT). The deceased patients had statistically significant difference in age (median, 76 years; interquartile range, 73.2–78.2 vs. median, 66 years; interquartile range, 62–67; p < 0.0001), NEWS value (median, 5; interquartile range, 3–8 vs. median, 2; interquartile range, 0–6; p <0.05), hospitalization period (median, 17; interquartile range, 7–35 vs. median, 6; interquartile range, 3–14), quantitative CT extent of lung damage > 50% [ n = 26 (86.7%) vs. n = 9 (8.2%) p < 0.0001], level of leukocytes (median, 11.4 ×109/L; interquartile range, 6.2–15.5 vs. median, 5.3 ×109/L; interquartile range, 4.7–6.4; p = 0.003), level of neutrophils (median, 80.9%; interquartile range, 73.6–88.6 vs. median, 72.6%; interquartile range, 68.7–76.9; p = 0.027), level of MR-proADM at the first hospital day (median, 828.6 pmol/L; interquartile range, 586.4–1,184.6 vs. median, 492.6 pmol/L; interquartile range, 352.9–712.2; p = 0.02), and level of MR-proADM at the third hospital day (median, 1,855.2 pmol/L; interquartile range, 1,078.4–2,596.5 vs. median, 270.7 pmol/L; interquartile range, 155.06–427.1). Conclusion Mid-regional proadrenomedullin has a higher prognostic value in patients with COVID-19 in comparison with routine inflammatory markers (leukocyte and neutrophils levels, CRP, and PCT) and NEWS.

The article offers new insights into the mystical philosophy of Pavel Alexandrovich Florensky (1882-1943) and Vladimir Sergeyevich Solovyov (1853-1900). Our critical analysis consists of examining the main topics of intellectual disputes in the 20th century many of which pertained the place of Sophiology in Russian philosophical thinking. Florensky’s and Solovyov’s philosophical legacies are considered against the background of their existential experience with ‘Sophia’, God’s personified Wisdom. The mystical dimension of their philosophies stems from specific theological underpinnings of their ideas, relevant above all to topis of the Trinitarian and Mariological discourses in present in the Russian intellectual/religious milieu

Although the variety of computer-based games offered for strategic management, ease of use and the number of games available in the market has decreased due to multiple factors, it has also increased. Depending on the criterion of the objectively measured learning outcomes, various games that have been studied to date yield higher results than those obtained by case approach as an alternative teaching strategy. Very little research has been conducted on factors that facilitate play, leading to effective learning outcomes in a business gaming environment. The general purpose of this research is to determine the work conducted on Business Strategy Game (BSG) and Learning Strategic Management. This study was conducted using qualitative research method, document analysis and related content analysis, studying the keywords ‘Business Strategy Game and Learning Strategic Management’ in the Web of Science database, based on the analysis of the documents. The studies in the Web of Science database were analysed according to years, the Web of Science categories, the research area, country/types and writing languages.
