Although national legislation in the Republic of Moldova includes the use of iodized salt in processed food industry as well as household (cooking and table) salt, little is known of the actual use of iodized salt in the food industry and its contribution to the overall iodine intake of the population. This study has helped to address the gap in understanding about how much iodized salt is used in the production of different foods and to identify where more information is still required in order to more fully characterize the contribution of food industry salt to population iodine intake. Using the available food consumption and production data, the assessment introduces a novel modelling technique, based on the methodology of the IGN Programme Guidance to assess the use of iodized salt in industrially produced foods (IPF). The method included the identification of key salt containing IPF and modelling of the salt and potential iodine intake in two groups of the population, non-pregnant adults and pregnant women. The findings were synthetized to develop a list of recommendations for adjustment or strengthening the existing salt iodization strategy. In RM, the salt used for industrially produced bread and household use provide almost 80% of all salt intake for adults. The intake from iodized salt at household level and the 8 key salt- containing IPF is estimated to currently meet 89% and 53% of the recommended nutrient for adults and pregnant women, respectively. If all salt used at household level and industrial bread baking would be iodized, then, potentially, it could ensure 181% and 109%, respectively, of the required iodine intake. Use of iodized salt in the processed food industry is of growing significance and universal use of iodized salt at household level and in bread production could result in a desirable increase in iodine intake. The national salt iodization strategy should include strengthened regulatory monitoring of iodized salt use in the bread baking industry.

THE STUDY PRESENTS A SCIENTIFIC DISCOURSE ON THE PEDAGOGY OF TOLERANCE. TOLERANT BEHAVIOR IN COMMUNICATION IS CONDITIONED BYTHE PRESENCE IN HUMAN CONSCIOUSNESS OF NATIVE PREDISPOSITIONS FOR TOLERANT COMMUNICATION WHICH SHOULD BECOME A PRINCIPLE AND A RULE WITHIN PEDAGOGICAL COMMUNICATION. TEACHING AND COMMUNICATION FEATURES BECOME STRUCTURAL COMPONENTS OF COMMUNICATIVE COMPETENCE ENABLING THE PREVENTION OF EMOTIONAL PROBLEMS IN THE EDUCATIONAL CONTEXT.
