Augustus Polonus. The Image of the Emperor in Polish Historiography in Inter-War Period. Preliminary Remarks
Authors: Gillmeister Andrzej
Published: May 2017

The figure of the first Roman emperor in many ways had an impact on the Polish culture, especially in historiography and literature. In my paper I focus on some issues connected with the subject. I discuss the ideas presented by Tadeusz Zieliński, one of the most eminent researchers of the ancient world in Europe in the first part of 20th century. He devoted a significant part of his opus to present his own vision of Augustus seen as a reformer of the Roman state religion. Zieliński built the emperor’s image as the saviour of the Roman world in the face of „the end of times”. This term played significant role in Zieliński’s thinking about Roman history at the end of the Republic. For the Polish scholar celebration of the secular game in 17 BC was the final task done by Augustus. This task Zieliński defined as the sacred mission and connected with the figure of Sibyl and the impact of the Etruscan theory of saeculum. For Zieliński, Augustus belonged to the most important men of providence in Roman history. In the same way I discuss the ideas presented by Ludwik Piotrowicz and Mieczysław St. Popławski. Both scholars analised the question of imperial cult in depth. Popławski expressed original view on Augustus apotheosis seen as the development of imperial cult in transcendental perspective. Piotrowicz instead saw this problem as a purely political phenomenon. Last part of my paper is devoted to short resentation of the echos of Augustus’ bimillenium in Polish scholar activity.

A cisão discursiva do Pará nas campanhas televisivas do plebiscito em 2011
Authors: Aquino Evelyn Cristina Ferreira de , Seixas Netília Silva dos Anjos
Published: May 2017

O estudo observou como se engendraram os discursos sobre a extensão territorial nas campanhas televisivas das frentes pró e contra a criação dos estados do Carajás e do Tapajós no plebiscito de 2011, no Pará. O Horário Gratuito de Propaganda Eleitoral ocorreu de 11 de novembro a 7 de dezembro daquele ano. Ao todo, 80 programas foram produzidos, veiculados  entre 12h e12h10 e entre 19h30 e 19h40. Neste estudo, trabalhamos com 20 programas, vistos a partir da análise do discurso na vertente dialógica de Mikhail Bakhtin e da disputa por legitimação e descredenciamento de discursos, de Eliseo Verón. A análise mostrou que as frentes de campanhas atualizaram discursos históricos sobre o reordenamento de territórios na Amazônia, vozes que debatem a unidade territorial e a reestruturação da região para o desenvolvimento.

Authors: Lévy Pierre , Fantinel Tradução de Danilo , Barros Eduardo Portanova
Published: May 2017

O artigo propõe que, por meio da elaboração de uma metalinguagem, o meio digital se vê dotado de um hipercórtex, espelho tanto dos processos cognitivos individuais quanto da inteligência coletiva. Mediante uma metodologia filosófica, estabelece-se um paralelo entre o córtex humano e o hipercórtex digital, procurando refletir sobre a possibilidade de repensar a compreensão da Web e das Ciências Humanas.
Boi, clima e ironia: a confluência de riscos envolvendo o discurso jornalístico e as mudanças climáticas
Authors: Maio Ana Maria Dantas de
Published: May 2017

O discurso jornalístico sobre mudanças climáticas nem sempre associa esse fenômeno à agropecuária, considerada uma de suas causadoras. Em enunciados que vinculam a pecuária ao aquecimento global foi possível verificar o uso da ironia como mecanismo para atrair a atenção de interlocutores e instaurar uma conduta de vigilância ambiental. O objetivo do artigo é investigar como o discurso jornalístico posiciona-se em relação ao binômio pecuária/mudanças climáticas em diferentes momentos. O estudo é qualitativo e o suporte teórico-metodológico utilizado foi a Análise de Discurso, da escola francesa, reforçado pela Análise Crítica de Discurso, que permite avaliar aspectos ideológicos presentes na fala. Os resultados indicam que as circunstâncias sócio-históricas condicionam a elaboração desses discursos, sugerindo diferentes usos e funções para essa figura de linguagem. Conclui-se que o discurso irônico pode representar um risco, caso o receptor não compreenda a contradição entre sua interface absurda e sua seriedade explícita.
Discurso e imagem: possibilidades metodológicas para uma análise discursiva do fotojornalismo contemporâneo
Authors: Pereira Junior Nelson Soares , Ferreira Giovandro Marcus
Published: May 2017

Sabe-se que as diferentes abordagens desenvolvidas no interior da Análise de Discurso se ocuparam principalmente com práticas discursivas elaboradas a partir de materiais linguísticos, o que tornam bastante consistentes as possibilidades metodológicas voltadas para o estudo de textos verbais, como ocorre com a literatura, o jornalismo impresso ou publicidade, por exemplo. A partir desse cenário, apresentamos os limites e as possibilidades de uma metodologia de análise da imagem fotojornalística, fundamentada em uma visão discursiva da linguagem. Para tanto, o estudo propõe uma metodologia que considera os pressupostos teóricos da Análise de Discurso e as possíveis contribuições da psicologia da percepção, desenvolvidas por Ernst Gombrich para o estudo do fotojornalismo. Tem-se, então, como resultado, um conjunto formado por três categorias de análise do fotojornalismo, que considera as implicações históricas e ideológicas e suas relações com a matéria não verbal na constituição da semiose do jornalismo impresso.
Philip Meyer, the outsider who created Precision Journalism
Authors: Gehrke Marília , Mielniczuk Luciana
Published: May 2017

The value of Philip Meyer’s trajectory for journalism studies is the main point of this interview. He created the concept called Precision Journalism, which brings journalism close to science through social research methods, and is also the name of a book published for the first time in 1973. Although Precision Journalism doesn’t necessarily require the use of computers, Meyer started to work with them before their popularization, during Detroit’s riots in 1967, after spending nine months at Harvard University. By using sample in the journalistic narrative, Meyer and Detroit Free Press staff won a Pulitzer Prize one year later. Precision Journalism is a concept still used, but nowadays is more associated to data journalism. In this interview, answered by e-mail, Meyer not only remembers his career and talks about journalism practice, like the use of data, hypothesis and transparency, but also reveals his perceptions about journalism in the future.

Published: May 2017

The migration of people between Acheh and Malaysia can be seen in sporadic settlements in the northern regions. Both communities share Islam as a religion and might have similarities in culture, ethics and the environment. Due to the Islamic influences in both Malay and Aceh community, it is predicted that the traditional houses in both locations are manifestations of the sustainable concept of hablumminallah, hablumminannas and hablumminal'alam. This concept can be analysed in terms of the Islamic implementations of hablumminallah, social beliefs, and activities in the relationship between man and man (hablumminannas) and climatic influences in the relationship between man and environment (hablumminal'alam). Hence, this paper intends to investigate the implementation of the three concepts in the Malay and Aceh houses. The research methodologies employed are observation (through site visits), pictorial analysis and detail evaluations on the components of the houses. Analysis conducted on Rumah Kutai (RK), Perak and Rumoh Aceh (RA) suggest the realization of the three mentioned sustainable concepts in the houses. In conclusion, the overall findings confirmed the sustainability concepts adopted in the RK and RA through adhering to Islamic guidelines, socio-cultural and climatic aspects.
FIELD, LIGHT AND FOOD: ADAPTING OF THE TOWN SQUARE AS A LEISURE GATHERING SPACE AT NIGHT
Authors: Zakariya Khalilah , Harun Nor Zalina , Mansor Mazlina
Published: May 2017

A square is an important built open space in cities and towns. In many urban areas throughout the world squares act as essential form of public space, making them a venue where socializing, meeting and event activities take place. Over the years, more squares are emerging as public spaces in Malaysian cities and towns as an alternative to parks. While most people often visit parks in the morning and evening, they still need a public space where they can conduct their leisure activities after working hours and at night. This is particularly relevant for towns and cities located in tropical and humid countries like Malaysia. The rising need to be outdoors in a cooler environment in the evening and at night, as a respite from the daytime heat and work, has attracted people back to the town squares. The sense of openness that a square offers is different from that of a park at night. The attractiveness of a square as a night space relies on how its users relate to the square’s physical, social and environmental attributes. Through examining a town square in Malaysia that has transformed into an active public space at night, this article aims to explore the attributes that enabled the square to be adapted into a night space. The findings revealed that there is a strong relationship between the opportunities for various activities and the provision of relevant infrastructure that support the square to serve as a public space for peopleat night. This is an important tangent in shifting how urban public space in Malaysia might be designed and planned in the future so as to cater for the changing needs of urban dwellers.
FEEDER MODE CHOICE SELECTION BEHAVIOURAL MODELLING: THE CASE OF KTM KOMUTER, KUALA LUMPUR
Authors: Bachok Syahriah , Mohd Zin Siti Hajar Madina
Published: May 2017

Transit oriented development propagates the use of feeder services such as buses, taxis and paratransit to support the main rail trunks (Taylor, 1982; Limtanakool et.al, 2006; Alshalalfah & Shalaby, 2007). This paper attempts at explaining the preferences of passengers of a Malaysian rail service towards feeder buses, factors influencing their choices and recommendations to encourage the KTM Komuter passengers to switch mode to feeder services instead of driving theirprivate vehicles to and from stations. Using on-board intercept survey method, some results of 200 samples were analysed for the research. Findings showed that 76% of the passengers did not prefer to use the feeder. As such, the chi-square analysis did not find any socio-demographic factors such as gender, income, level of study, employment types, to be significant in explaining this mode switching behaviour. Some trip characteristics such as vehicle ownership, frequency andlength of using the KTM Komuter service also did not significantly influence the passengers' preference in using the feeder bus service. Other factors were then examined, including stations’ characteristics, users’ access and egress behaviours, travel time and distance. Therefore, in order to encourage the KTM Komuter users in using the feeder bus service, several recommendations such as providing an efficient, reliable frequency and catchment areas of feeder bus services were made.

Authors: Abdul Latiff Zainab , Mohd Yaman Maheran
Published: May 2017

In the field of garden history, Mughal gardens represent a prominent chapter of what is often called the Islamic garden tradition. Most previous studies have discussed on its theories and principles. However, it is essential to establish the physical characteristics of the Mughal garden as representing Islamic garden tradition. The method of content analysis has been applied in this study. The study found that Mughal garden design is much influenced by the Persian’s ChāhārBāgh, Hindu mythology and Quranic paradise imagery. To conclude, Mughal garden design needs to be assimilated into the current culture of local people within the established principles of environment in Islam.
CONTENT ANALYSIS OF THE EXISTENCE OF BIOMIMICRY LIFE’S PRINCIPLES IN GREEN BUILDING INDEX MALAYSIA
Authors: Mohd Ariffin Noor Aziah , Farag Gad Salwa
Published: May 2017

Concerns about climate change and global warming have led many countries to initiate energy rating systems in the planning and development of the built environment. Although useful and novel, this paper contends that these ratings are only remedying and alleviating whatever negative impacts that development creates. Energy ratings are seemingly lacking in attempts to integrate and enhance the physical development of the natural environment. Instead, biomimicry is adiscipline that explores nature and tries to understand its bio-integration for the establishment of sustainable products, processes and systems. This paper postulates that with the integration of Biomimicry – Life’s Principles (BLP) into the Green Building Index (GBI) Malaysia, a higher level of environmental sustainability could be achieved. This paper attempted to explore the presenceand the extent of the presence of BLP in the existing GBI utilizing the content analysis method. This article concludes that although the presence of BLP in the GBI is high, the extent of the presence is low. The paper also recommends the areas of concern that could be improved within the GBI for a more effective rating system.

Strong family ties built on the teachings of the Quran and Sunnah produce excellent foundation in forming a household which are constantly under the protection and blessing of Allah and in turn contribute to the overall health of a community. A dwelling filled with the remembrance of Allah will no doubt find an aura of peace and tranquillity. This is called a home, a place for a family to worship Allah, to relax body and mind, enjoy legitimate worldly delights, teach, learn and propagate the message of Islam. Therefore, provision and design of a dwelling should be considered important to make it a blessed home. This includes the provision of spaces for religious activities, daily basic chores of households, social production, reproduction hygiene needs, privacy and security. Cultural, religious and sustainable aspects of inhabitants should be considered in theplanning and design process of a dwelling in the Malaysian context. The Syariah sources have provided basis for its design to conform to Islamic criteria, thereby facilitating various ibadah activities for the inhabitants and users. A review of theory and philosophy of dwelling from Islamic perspective is analysed to justify the comprehensive living approach as promoted by Islam. This paper aims to review literature pertaining to housing principles in Islam and to present basic principles for developing housing criteria based on Islamic teachings.

Published: May 2017

In ensuring the tourism destinations are successful and sustained, good quality environments are needed. Furthermore, without an attractive environment, there would be no tourism activities. Nevertheless, people generate and encompass many different types and patterns of changes in the environment and in turn, the environment can facilitate and even reduce stress to people. In this context, it is necessary to understand the perspective of tourists and knowing what they look for in a particular destination to obtain a better understanding of spatial tourism behaviour and areas of sustainable tourist destinations. The primary focus of this paper is to understand the perceptions, expectations, experiences and motivations that tourists have when they choose to visit specific tourist destinations. Based on the literature, identifying and examining the elements of tourist attractions, tourist preferences, the values which characterize the tourism demand and their relationship to the environment would highlight challenges as well as implications for tourism development especially in Malaysia.
BIBLIOMETRIC ANALYSIS ON QUANTIFYING URBAN SPRAWL IN ASSESSING A COMPREHENSIVE MEANING OF SPRAWL : A REVIEW
Authors: Rosni Nur Aulia , Mohd Noor Norzailawati , Abdullah Alias
Published: May 2017

After more than half century has passed, urban sprawl remains as one of the most important and unresolved matters in the urban development process. This paper adopts “Bibliometrics Analysis” technique, which is a statistical analysis of scientific publications to review the studies on urban sprawl from the year 1996 till 2015 in order to identify the fundamental issues and problem of urban sprawl. This method allows the researcher to review the literature of topic of interest critically, not only based on national and international networks but includes the multi-disciplinary fields of science and technology relating to urban planning. The publications on urban sprawl were retrieved from the two largest scientific databases namely Scopus and ScienceDirect. The sampling of publications was based on the “Most Cited Articles” indicator. The findings on urban sprawl issues and problems are presented in four categories, which are the lack of consensus in defining urban sprawl, unavailability of method to quantify urban sprawl, access to data and tools, and varying urban sprawl patterns based on area. The findings of this study provide the gap for future research on urban sprawl.
MODELLING WILLINGNESS TO PAY FOR IMPROVED PUBLIC TRANSPORT SERVICES: THE CHALLENGES OF NON-RESPONSE TO STATED PREFERENCE HYPOTHETICAL QUESTIONS
Authors: Bachok Syahriah , Ponrahono Zakiah
Published: May 2017

The paper focuses on the modelling attempt of willingness to pay for an improved bus service in selected cities and towns of Malaysia. Using responses from onboard intercept surveys, 1,130 samples of bus passengers have been analysed so as to arrive at a simplified model of how passengers trade off their money with possible upgrading of bus services elements. The willingness to pay among these bus riders was very low, despite the high expectation of improvements aspired by them. For service providers, fares are a function of travel time, travel distance and other operating costs. For passengers, the utility function is explained by costs, time, distance and various latent parameters. This paper highlights the significant results of chi-square analysis at various confidence levels. However, modelling the exact utility function of preferences for staggered increased in fares could not be carried out successfully at 95 percent confidence level, due to the relatively small number of respondents stating their and/or undecided response towillingness to pay for the additional fare rate. The issue of non-response to hypothetical survey questions is also raised, explaining the difficulties in modelling this choice behaviour.

Published: May 2017

The environment should appear not only as a commodity to humans but as an inspiring source that appeals to humans’ ethical ability. In Malaysia, studies concerning factors influencing pro-environmental behaviours are vast. However, studies on interrelationships between humans and the contextual surroundings are scarce. Towards achieving sustainable well-being, it is undoubtedly important for humans to have conforming emotions, behaviours, cognitions and motivations towards the environment. This study intends to identify the determinants of human values and ethical behaviour concerning the environment towards developing a theoretical framework of interrelationship between human and environment.

Authors: Budiati Lilin
Published: May 2017

This study assessed local leadership necessary for developing city resilience in the phase of more escalating, complicated and critical disaster phenomenon. The study departed from an assumption of the need for an effective and creative model of local leadership in order to transform risks into resilience, so that the city possesses a local capacity to develop Semarang as the resilient city. Leadership competency can be taught and trained by a leadership education and training under the Center for Education and Training of the Provincial Government of Central Java. Learning premise and practice of the leadership education and training in this study was formulated as follows: (1) Why was the leadership of Semarang Mayor unable to improve effectiveness of state internal bureaucracy towards city resilience?; (2) How was the model of local leadership necessary todevelop Semarang city resilience?; and (3) What learning model of leadership education and training was effective to educate and to train the effective and creative bureaucratic leaders? Using a case study based qualitative approach, this study resulted in as the followings: (1) the mayoral leadership concerning hazard and city resilience issues was proven effective, but was unable to improve the effectiveness of the state internal bureaucracy due to structural conflict; (2) local leadership model related to disaster and city resilience issues that can be applied to Semarang Municipality is a congruent model with public-private partnership approach; and (3) the effective learning model that can be applied to the leadership education and training is a constructivist learning model with an intuitive approach.

Data of birth weight and socioeconomic was obtained by interviews directly to the mother. Data were Analyzed  by Mc Nemar and Conditional Logistic Regression.

Results: There was correlation enjoyment of food with overweight (p < 0.05, OR 4.33, 95% CI: 1.74-12.87). There was no correlation overeating (emotional overeating / food responsiveness) with overweight (p > 0.05, OR 0, 95% CI : 0.02 to 0.00). There was no correlation desire to drink with overweight (p > 0.05, OR 1.5, 95% CI 0.47 to 5.12). Enjoyment of food behavior is accompanied by nutritional status of obese mothers had significant association with overweight (p < 0.05, OR:3.71, 95% CI: 1.12 to 4.05).

Conclusions: Enjoyment of food behavior was risk factor of overweight in preschool children. Educator in early childhood schools hopefully can give information to parents about prevention and intervention of obesity in preschool children, which associated with food  approach and obesity. Future research needs longitudinal studies to better know the causal behavior of food approach to obesity in preschool children.

Published: May 2017

Актуальність. Краніоорбітальні новоутворення включають широкий спектр доброякісних та злоякісних пухлин та є маловивченою проблемою нейроофтальмології. Матеріали та методи. Проведений ретроспективний аналіз комплексного обстеження та результатів хірургічного лікування хворих із пухлинами краніоорбітальної ділянки та орбіти, госпіталізованих та оперованих у відділенні нейрохірургії № 2 Київської міської клінічної лікарні швидкої медичної допомоги з 2000 по 2015 р. Результати. Відібрано 104 хворих віком від 18 до 73 років із пухлинами краніоорбітальної ділянки та орбіти. Середній вік пацієнтів становив 46,1 року, чоловіків було 26 (23 %), жінок — 78 (77 %). Перед­операційний зоровий дефіцит спостерігався у 83 (79,8 %) пацієнтів. 45 (43,2 %) пацієнтів відмічали періорбітальний біль. У 15 (14,4 %) пацієнтів не було екзофтальму, у 36 (34,6 %) відмічався м’який екзофтальм (≤ 4 мм), і у 52 (51 %) осіб — виражений екзофтальм (> 4 мм). Окорухові порушення виявлено в 32 (30 %) пацієнтів, звуження полів зору — у 15 (24 %) хворих. Серед гістологічних типів новоутворень відмічено: 35 (33,6 %) сфеноорбітальних менінгіом, 19 (18,2 %) кавернозних гемангіом, 9 (8,6 %) гліом зорового нерва, 8 (7,6 %) менінгіом оболонки зорового нерва, 2 (1,9 %) менінгосаркоми, 5 (4,8 %) шванном, 4 (3,8 %) нейрофіброми, 4 (3,8 %) гемангіоперицитоми, 5 (4,8 %) плеоморфних аденом, 4 (3,8 %) аденокарциноми слізної залози, 3 (2,8 %) злоякісні лімфоми орбіти, 3 (2,8 %) метастази, 3 (2,8 %) псевдопухлини. Тривалість симптомів у пацієнтів коливалася від 2 до 92 місяців (у середньому — 11 місяців). Висновки. Досягнення нейровізуалізації значно полегшили діагностику пухлин краніоорбітальної ділянки та орбіти. У кожному разі підозри на об’ємне утворення краніоорбітальної ділянки та орбіти обстеження повинне бути комплексним та проводитися з урахуванням сучасних рекомендацій та наявної інформації для оптимізації лікування.

Метою цього дослідження було вивчення нейрометаболічної дії препарату етилметилгiдроксипiридину сукцинату (Армадін) на центральну нервову систему в пацієнтів iз гострою церебральною недостатністю (ГЦН) різного генезу (тяжка черепно-мозкова травма, мозковий інсульт) за допомогою методів кількісної електроенцефалографiї (ЕЕГ). Матерiали i методи. Дизайн дослідження: відкрите проспективне дослідження за типом «випадок — контроль». Сорок хворих (група дослідження) отримували препарат етилметилгiдроксипiридину сукцинату на додаток до стандартного протоколу лікування, 48 пацієнтів iз ГЦН (група порівняння) — терапію за стандартним протоколом. Реєстрацію біопотенціалів мозку здійснювали за допомогою нейрофізіологічного комплексу DX-NT32. Для інтегрального кількісного аналізу ЕЕГ застосовували інтегральний коефіцієнт kfc1: (δ + θ + β1) / (α + β2). Для оцінки нейрогліальної та нейрометаболічної активності визначали показники відносної спектральної потужності у вузьких діапазонах ЕЕГ. Проводили ультразвукове допплерографiчне дослідження екстра- та інтракраніальних судин (апарат DWL EZ-Dop V2.1, Німеччина). Статистичний аналіз даних виконано за допомогою програми MedStat. Результати. Головні позитивні ефекти відновлення внутрішньочерепного кровообігу, що проявлялися зменшенням вазоконстрикції інтракраніальних судин, були зареєстровані після введення препарату в дозі 200 мг. При збільшеннi кількостi введеного препарату етилметилгiдроксипiридину сукцинату до 400 мг включалися нові рівні адаптації за рахунок активації дieнцефальних структур і функціонально пов’язаних з ними структур правої півкулі, де було зафіксовано значущі зміни ЕЕГ-предикторів нейроглiальної та нейромедіаторної (холін-, aдрен-, серотонін- та меншою мірою дофамінергічної) активності. Виснов­ки. Застосування в комплексі терапії ГЦН різного генезу етилметилгiдроксипiридину сукцинату підвищувало шанс на вiдновлення свідомості до 11 і більше балів за шкалою коми Глазго до 7-ї доби лікування. Використання препарату етилметилгiдроксипiридину сукцинату в комплексі терапії при мозковому інсульті та тяжкій черепно-мозковій травмі підвищує можливiсть скорочення термінів перебування у відділенні нейрохірургічної інтенсивної терапії до 8–10 діб.
Депресивні розлади та цереброваскулярна патологія: патофізіологічні передумови взаємоз’язку, особливості клінічного перебігу та лікувальної тактики
Authors: Kopchak O.O.
Published: May 2017

Стаття присвячена вивченню особливостей депресивних розладів (ДР) у коморбідності з цереброваскулярною патологією. Обговорюється гіпотеза існування та ймовірні діагностичні критерії судинної депресії, що виникає в пацієнтів похилого віку (пізня депресія) з цереброваскулярною патологією. Розглянуто патофізіологічні механізми взаємозв’язку між ДР та судинною патологію головного мозку, серед яких важливу роль відіграє хронічне неспецифічне системне запалення. Наведені клінічні особливості пізньої судинної депресії, а також постінсультної депресії. Описані особливості взаємозв’язку між когнітивними порушеннями (КП) та депресивними розладами в пацієнтів із цереброваскулярною патологією, а також виділені характерні риси КП при судинних ДР. Обговорюється доцільність корекції судинних чинників ризику в комплексному лікуванні ДР при цереброваскулярній патології. Обґрунтовується необхідність раннього призначення антидепресантів у пацієнтів із постінсультною депресією. Висвітлені сучасні підходи до лікування судинних ДР із застосуванням антидепресантів. З огляду на поліфункціональні властивості та особливості механізму дії обґрунтовано безпечність та доцільність застосування тразодону в лікуванні ДР, коморбідних із цереброваскулярною патологією.
Взаємозв’язок між депресивними розладами та станом когнітивної функції в пацієнтів похилого віку з цукровим діабетом 2-го типу
Authors: Zherdоva N.N.
Published: May 2017

Актуальність. Депресія є фактором ризику виникнення цукрового діабету (ЦД) та негативно впливає на його перебіг, підвищуючи ризик розвитку ускладнень. Метою дослідження було оцінити стан когнітивної функції у хворих на ЦД 2-го типу похилого віку з депресивними розладами та без них. Матеріали та методи. Було обстежено 115 хворих на ЦД 2-го типу, із них жінок було 78, чоловіків — 37. Пацієнти були розподілені на дві групи: з депресивними розладами та без них. Оцінка депресивних виявів проводилася за допомогою самоопитувальника депресії. Оцінка когнітивних порушень здійснювалася зранку за допомогою таких методів: тесту «5 слів», шкали оцінки психічного статусу, батареї тестів на лобну дисфункцію, тесту малювання годинника. Результати. У 68,7 % хворих на ЦД 2-го типу похилого віку не відзначаються депресивні розлади за даними самоопитувальника депресії, легкі вияви спостерігались у 17,4 % обстежених, помірні — у 10,4 % та 3,5 % хворих мали тяжкі вияви депресії. У пацієнтів із депресивними розладами спостерігаються вірогідно гірші показники когнітивної функції. У хворих на ЦД із помірними та тяжкими виявами депресії стан когнітивної функції вірогідно гірший порівняно з пацієнтами, які мають легкі вияви депресії чи без депресивних розладів. Висновки. Необхідно проводити скринінг у всіх пацієнтів із ЦД 2-го типу на наявність депресивних розладів із метою профілактики порушень когнітивних функцій.
