TRANSFORMATION OF SPIRITUAL AND MORAL VALUES OF YOUTH IN THE CONTEXT OF GLOBALIZATION by L. Kozhevnikova, I. Starovoytova, O. Yatsenko

“…It has been shown, how in the process of the evolution of values, a gap occurs between the declared values and life orientations, determining the behavior of young people. The conclusion has been made, that the worldview of modern student youth is of a synthetic nature: it contains, on the one hand, conservative values, focusing on the stability and connection of generations, on the other hand, “modernist” attitudes reflecting modern social realities. …”

A General Discrete Time Model of Population Dynamics in the Presence of an Infection by Giuseppe Izzo, Yoshiaki Muroya, Antonia Vecchio

“…Vecchio (2007) and represents the discrete counterpart of a larger class of continuous model concerning the dynamics of an infection in an organism or in a host population. The limiting behavior of this new discrete model is studied and a threshold parameter playing the role of the basic reproduction number is derived.…”

Intermittent Short Atrioventricular Delay in a Dual Chamber Pacemaker During Acute Pulmonary Edema by Ravi Vazirani, Miriam García Cocera, David Calvo

“…ABSTRACT We present the case of an 80‐year‐old female with acute pulmonary edema and a dual chamber pacemaker with intermittent short AV delays in the surface ECG after blocked premature atrial contractions (PACs). The behavior was consistent with the programmed Window of Atrial Rate Acceleration Detection (WARAD) and did not require further parameter modifications. …”
