Psychological and Social Factors of Adaptation of the Gifted Personality in the Conditions of the Informational Educational Environment of General Secondary Education Establishments : Methodical Manual The manual outlines the features of the informational educational environment of educational institutions in modern times. The functions of informational environment of modern general secondary education institutions are singled out. The authors investigate social and psychological factors, as well as personal characteristics that affect the process of adaptation of gifted students in different periods of study, which coincide with crisis periods of psychological development — entry into school, adolescence, and early adolescence. The special workshop provided in the manual helps to increase the level of social and psychological adaptability of gifted students of general secondary education institutions and is a ready-made toolkit with a synopsis of practice-oriented classes. The manual is intended for students and teachers, social educators, practical psychologists, and heads of general secondary education institutions.
The aim of this work was to perform a comparative analysis of the prevalence and clinical and laboratory features of the course of COVID-19 infection in patients with end-stage chronic kidney disease receiving kidney replacement therapy (KRT). Methods. A retrospective analysis of 73 medical records of patients undergoing KRT and infected COVID-19 between January 1, 2021 and December 31, 2021. The patients were divided into two groups. The first group consisted of 54 hemodialysis (HD) patients, and the second group included 19 peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. Routine clinical and laboratory characteristics, morbidity, and mortality of COVID-19 depending on KRT modality were analysed. Results. The overall prevalence of COVID-19 was 37.63%. Mortality in this cohort of patients was 19.07%, and mortality associated with COVID-19 was 6.19%. Despite the predominance of COVID-19-associated morbidity in HD patients (46.55% vs. 24.36%, p = 0.05), mortality was not statistically significantly different between the studied groups (26.32% in PD patients vs. 12.96% in HD patients, p = 0.17). HD patients had more severe lung injury as measured by SpO2 (p=0.18) and CT (p=0.003), while PD patients had lower hemoglobin (p=0.001), platelet (p=0.001), total protein (p<0.001), and albumin (p<0.001) levels. A direct correlation was found between the percentage of lung injury according to the CT data and the leukocyte count in both the HD (r = 0.24) and PD (r = 0.56) groups. In addition, an inverse correlation between leukocyte and SpO2 values and between the percentage of lung injury according to the CT data and SpO2 indicators was found in the HD (r = -0.51 and r = -0.66) and PD (r = -0.47 and r = -0.63) groups, respectively. Conclusions. The results of our study are in complete agreement with published data and show the same COVID-19-associated mortality in HD and PD patients, with a statistically significantly higher prevalence of COVID-19 in HD patients. The course of COVID-19 in HD patients is characterized by more severe lung injury compared to PD patients, while PD patients had more pronounced anemia and significantly lower platelet, total protein, and blood albumin concentrations.
Microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) is one of the three clinical phenotypes of vasculitis associated with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA). Although MPA is considered a rare form of ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV), clinical evidence shows that it is fairly common among nephrologists, as it manifests as a systemic, weak-immune vasculitis affecting glomerular capillaries, resulting in necrotizing glomerulonephritis (GN) diagnosed in nearly 100% of MPA patients. The issue of AAV in general, and MPA specifically, has gained significant importance in the context of the ongoing SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus pandemic, as both conditions share common anatomical sites of infection and inflammation. This study presents three new cases of MPA in post-COVID-19 patients. The analysis and presentation encompassed demographic data, patient history regarding comorbidities, details of follow-up care, chronology with COVID-19, and laboratory findings at the time of MPA diagnosis. A comparative analysis of the chronological progression of MPA in the documented clinical cases reveals the polymorphic nature of early-stage clinical manifestations, as well as diverse patterns of disease progression in the advanced stage. Additionally, we provide a brief literature review on diagnostic challenges, pathogenetic mechanisms underlying the relationship between SARS-CoV-2 and AAV, and peculiarities of clinical presentations in early and advanced stages of MPA.
The manual presents the theoretical and methodological foundations of social adaptation in the works of Ukrainian and foreign scientists; the tendencies of childhood research in the modern global society are analyzed; the essence and structure of the concept of adaptation are considered. The authors investigated the peculiarities of the process of adaptation of a gifted person at different age periods of study in general secondary education, namely: primary school children, gifted adolescents, and gifted students of specialized classes. The authors also proposed a theoretical model of the organization of socio-psychological adaptation in the information and educational environment of the educational institution to ensure maximum realization of the potential of each student. The manual is intended for students and teachers, practical psychologists, social educators, heads of education and psychological services
The methodical recommendations provide a brief description of psychological and pedagogical technologies for working with gifted students in countries such as Israel, Austria, USA, and Poland. The authors describe how gifted children are identified and supported at the state level in these countries. The authors propose the technology of implementation of the method of tutoring students in general secondary education, which is implemented through information-semantic, diagnostic, correctional, developmental, and practical components. The recommendations also include a set of practice-oriented activities that help identify and develop students' personal potential. Primarily intended for practical psychologists of educational institutions and heads of educational institutions, as well as for teachers and students of higher education institutions.
