Published: September 2021

Background: Studies have found that blood lipids are associated with plasma amyloid-β (Aβ) levels, but the underlying mechanism is still unclear. Two Aβ transporters, soluble form of low-density lipoprotein receptor related protein-1 (sLRP1) and soluble receptor of advanced glycation end products (sRAGE), are crucial in peripheral Aβ transport. Objective: The aim was to investigate the effects of lipids on the relationships between plasma Aβ and transporter levels. Methods: This study included 1,436 adults aged 40 to 88 years old. Blood Aβ, sLRP1, sRAGE, and lipid levels were measured. Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to analyze the relationships between lipids and plasma Aβ, sLRP1, and sRAGE. Results: After adjusting for all possible covariates, high-density lipoprotein (HDL-c) was positively associated with plasma Aβ42 and sRAGE (β= 6.158, p = 0.049; β= 121.156, p < 0.001, respectively), while triglyceride (TG) was negatively associated with plasma Aβ40, Aβ42, and sRAGE (β= –48.389, p = 0.017; β= –11.142, p = 0.020; β= –147.937, p = 0.003, respectively). Additionally, positive correlations were found between plasma Aβ and sRAGE in the normal TG (Aβ40: β= 0.034, p = 0.005; Aβ42: β= 0.010, p = 0.001) and HDL-c groups (Aβ40: β= 0.023, p = 0.033; Aβ42: β= 0.008, p = 0.002) but not in the high TG and low HDL-c groups. Conclusion: Abnormal levels of TG and HDL-c are associated with decreased Aβ and sRAGE levels. Positive correlations between plasma Aβ and sRAGE were only found in the normal TG and HDL-c groups but not in the high TG and low HDL-c groups. These results indicated that dyslipidemia contributing to plasma Aβ levels might also be involved in peripheral Aβ clearance.

Published: September 2021

Background: Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and dementia are associated with increased age. MCI is a clinical entity described as a transitional state between normal cognition and dementia. Video games (VGs) can potentially promote cognition and functional capacity since multiple cognitive domains are recruited during gameplay. However, there is still a lack of consensus regarding the efficacy of VGs as therapeutic tools, particularly in neurodegenerative diseases. Objective: We aimed to analyze the impact of VGs on cognition and functional capacity outcomes in MCI/dementia patients. Methods: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis study (PROSPERO [CRD42021229445]). PubMed, Web of Science, Epistemonikos, CENTRAL, and EBSCO electronic databases were searched for RCT (2000-2021) that analyzed the impact of VGs on cognitive and functional capacity outcomes in MCI/dementia patients. Results: Nine studies were included (n = 409 participants), and Risk of Bias (RoB2) and quality of evidence (GRADE) were assessed. Data regarding attention, memory/learning, visual working memory, executive functions, general cognition, functional capacity, quality of life were identified, and pooled analyses were conducted. An effect favoring VGs interventions was observed on Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) score (MD = 1.64, 95%CI 0.60 to 2.69). Conclusion: Although promising, the effects observed should be interpreted with caution since serious methodological shortcomings were identified in the studies included. Nonetheless, the effect observed is higher than the minimum clinically important difference (1.4 points) established to MMSE. Future studies on the current topic urge. Recommendations for the design and conduction of cognitive RCT studies are presented.
Macrophages in Skeletal Muscle Dystrophies, An Entangled Partner
Authors: Theret Marine , Saclier Marielle , Messina Graziella , Rossi Fabio M.V.
Published: September 2021

While skeletal muscle remodeling happens throughout life, diseases that result in its dysfunction are accountable for many deaths. Indeed, skeletal muscle is exceptionally capable to respond to stimuli modifying its homeostasis, such as in atrophy, hypertrophy, regeneration and repair. In particular conditions such as genetic diseases (muscular dystrophies), skeletal muscle’s capacity to remodel is strongly affected and undergoes continuous cycles of chronic damage. This induces scarring, fatty infiltration, as well as loss of contractibility and of the ability to generate force. In this context, inflammation, primarily mediated by macrophages, plays a central pathogenic role. Macrophages contribute as the primary regulators of inflammation during skeletal muscle regeneration, affecting tissue-resident cells such as myogenic cells and endothelial cells, but also fibro-adipogenic progenitors, which are the main source of the fibro fatty scar. During skeletal muscle regeneration their function is tightly orchestrated, while in dystrophies their fate is strongly disturbed, resulting in chronic inflammation. In this review, we will discuss the latest findings on the role of macrophages in skeletal muscle diseases, and how they are regulated.
Clinical impact of anisotropic analytical algorithm and Acuros XB dose calculation algorithms for intensity modulated radiation therapy in lung cancer patients
Authors: Abdullah Chaymaa , Farag Hamed , El-Sheshtawy Wael , Aboelenein Hassan , Guirguis O.W.
Published: September 2021

OBJECTIVE:

To evaluate dose differences predicted between using Anisotropic Analytical Algorithm (AAA) and Acuros XB (AXB) in patients diagnosed with locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treated with intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT).

METHODS:

A phantom study was done to evaluate the dose prediction accuracy of AXB and AAA beyond low-density medium by comparing the calculated measurement results. Thirty-two advanced NSCLC patients were subjected to IMRT. The dose regimen was 60 Gy over 30 fractions. Effects on planning target volume (PTV) and organ-at-risk (OAR) were evaluated. Clinically acceptable treatment plans with AAA were re-calculated using AXB algorithms with two modes Dw and Dm at the same beam arrangements and multileaf collimator leaf settings as with AAA.

RESULTS:

Using AXB yielded better agreement with the measurements and the average dose difference for all points was about 0.5%. Conversely, using AAA showed a larger disagreement with measured values and the average difference was up to 5.9%. The maximum relative difference was between AXB_Dm and AAA for PTV dose (D98 %). The percentage dose differences of plans calculated by AAA, AXB_Dw and AAA, AXB_Dm revealed that AAA overestimated the dose than AXB. Regarding OAR, results showed significant difference for lungs-PTV.

CONCLUSIONS:

AXB algorithm yields more accurate dose prediction than AAA in heterogeneous medium. Differences in dose distribution are observed when plans re-calculated with AXB indicating that AAA apparently overestimates dose, particularly the PTV dose. Thus, AXB algorithm should be used in preference to AAA for cases in which PTVs are involved with tissues of highly different densities, such as lung.

Published: September 2021

Law Number 11 of 2020 concerning Job Creation is believed to be able to save Indonesia because it is considered to be able to create jobs, assist small business actors, streamline regulations in terms of numbers and simplify regulations to make them more targeted. On the other hand, the job creation law is considered to be detrimental to many groups, such as workers such as laborers, fishermen, and farmers who are also considered to only provide benefits to entrepreneurs. Law Number 11 of 2020 with new rules and amendments to Article 18 and Article 19 of Law Number 41 of 1999 concerning Forestry. In Law Number 41 of 1999 concerning Forestry, it is regulated that changes in the allocation and function of forest areas are determined by the Government based on the results of integrated research. Second, the area offorest that must be maintained is at least 30% (percent) of the area of river watersheds and/or islands with a proportional distribution. However, in the Job Creation Law the minimum figure of 30% (thirty percent) is no longer mentioned in the amendment article and the abolition of provisions related to the DPR’s authority in giving approval for the transfer of functions/changes in forest areas. This paper aims to find out the principles that have been violated and the legal consequences of applying the article. The research method used in this research is the type of normative legal research. The results of this study indicate that there are deviations from the land principle and the principle of consent which can cause the norms contained in Article 18 paragraph (2) and Article 19 paragraph (2) of Law Number 11 of 2020 to be less enforceable. The abolition of the minimum area of forest area and the abolition of the DPR’s authority to approve the transfer of functions/changes to forest areas, will have the potential to provide greater opportunities for deforestation.

FACTORS WHICH INFLUENCE LIQUID ASSETS IN SHARIA BANKS: A CASE STUDY OF PT BANK SYARIAH MANDIRI 2016-2017
Authors: Harun Taryana
Published: September 2021

Banks manage liquidity carefully because of differences in fund tenor collected and channeled. Meanwhile, at the same time, it must fulfill transaction needs, reserve requirement, current liabilities, and be cautious in facing sudden liquidity needs. Therefore, bankshold a sufficient amount of liquid assets. Liquidity management tends to be a trade-off. On one side, insufficient liquid assets can cause banks to be unable to carry out transactions with its customers or fulfill its maturity obligations. On another side, high liquid assets can result in a lost opportunity, because the liquid assets do not provide a return. The purpose of this research is to analyze what factors influence the level of banks liquid assets. This research was conducted using a dual regression model to analyze the variables studied, with a case study of PT Bank Syariah Mandiri from 2016-2017.The dependent variable was the level of liquid assets. Meanwhile, the independent variables were the amount of third party funds, financing growth, financial market access between banks, current liabilities, and previous month profit. The research results reveal that two variables are statistically significant towards bank liquid assets, which are third-party funds and previous month profit. Third-party funds and previous month profit have a positive and significat influence towards liquid assets. Meanwhile, the other variables do not significantly determined liquid assets.
El capital cultural del profesorado en los procesos de inclusión educativa
Authors:   Escuela Normal Fray Matías de Córdova, Chiapas, México, Ortiz Huerta Manuel Gregorio , Zacarías Gutiérrez Mauricio ,   Centro Regional de Formación Docente e Investigación Educativa, México
Published: September 2021

El presente ensayo plantea el capital cultural que tienen los profesores como detrimento de prácticas inclusivas en el espacio escolar cuando componentes pedagógicos como pedagogía, escuela y escolaridad no consideran la diversidad del estudiante. Las prácticas culturales, el sentido y significado de la escuela y la obligatoriedad de la educación en el sistema neoliberal resultan mecanismos que son incompatibles a los procesos de inclusión del estudiante en la escuela; el capital cultural del profesor instituye una pedagogía conservadora que es lineal al currículo y al sistema político-pedagógico neoliberal pues resulta eficaz a los intereses de dicho sistema, el capital cultural del profesorado instituido en prácticas culturales conservadoras forma un habitus en el estudiante que inhibe su presencia, participación y pertenencia; por ello, se requiere la reflexión de la práctica educativa desde una pedagogía de las diferencias que otorgue sentido y significado a las experiencias del otro y se construya socialmente la alteridad.

Published: September 2021

Povzetek V prispevku se zagovarja teza, da postopni koraki, začeti z institucionalnim okvirjem, ki ga je postavila Lizbonska pogodba leta 2009, prek sprejetja Globalne strategije Evropske unije leta 2016 do nedavnih političnih pobud in vpeljanih mehanizmov ter njihove implementacije na področju obrambne politike, omogočajo komunitarizacijo te politike. Prek izkušenj, številnih političnih pobud in njihove uspešne implementacije ter zavedanja o sodobnih geopolitičnih spremembah s tradicionalnimi in novimi varnostnimi grožnjami se lahko počasi ustvarja politična volja držav članic. Ta je potrebna za proces komunitarizacije, ki dolgoročno lahko vodi k oblikovanju Evropske obrambne unije. Ključne besede Obramba politika, Evropska unija, komunitarizacija. Abstract This paper argues that incremental steps, beginning with the institutional set-up framed by the Lisbon Treaty in 2009, through the adoption of the EU Global Strategy in 2016, to recent policy initiatives, endorsed mechanisms and their implementation in the field of defence, are paving the way towards its communitarization. The political will of Member States could be gradually generated through experience, through a number of policy initiatives and their successful implementation, and through the awareness of the contemporary geopolitical changes with traditional and new security threats. The process of communitarization is dependent on the Member States’ political will, and could eventually lead towards building a European Defence Union. Key words Defence policy, European Union, communitarization.
PRE-SERVICE TEACHERS' FEAR OF SNAKES, CONSERVATION ATTITUDES, AND LIKELIHOOD OF INCORPORATING ANIMALS INTO THE FUTURE SCIENCE CURRICULUM
Authors: Torkar Gregor
Published: September 2021

Studying attitudes toward fauna such as snakes is essential in wildlife management. The main objective of this study was to investigate the impact that fear of snakes has on Slovenian pre-service teachers’ attitudes towards conservation and the likelihood of incorporating animals into developing the future science curriculum. The effect of direct experience on fear of snakes, conservation attitudes, and the likelihood of incorporating snakes into the future science curriculum were also studied. Altogether, 352 full-time and part-time students majoring in preschool education and primary school education were surveyed. The study confirmed that students’ fear of snakes negatively influenced their conservation attitudes and decreased the likelihood of incorporating snakes into the future science curriculum. Prior direct contact with snakes negatively correlated with fear of snakes, and positively with attitudes towards conservation and the likelihood of incorporating snakes into the future science curriculum. Prior direct contact with snakes also affected students’ word associations regarding snakes by reducing the frequency of some associations that emphasize the potential threat snakes pose to people. Key words: attitudes, conservation, fear, pre-service teacher, science education, snake.

Published: September 2021

In the current study, gymnasium students’ technology-related career orientations were studied from a Social Cognitive Career Theory perspective. In order to address students’ lack of interest in technology related careers as recognised worldwide, the design-based science learning (DBSL) approach was used. For the purposes of the current study, five learning modules were adapted by the research team from those developed within a European project and taught by science teachers (N=18). At the beginning of the study, 10th-11th grade students (N=314) completed a questionnaire consisting of measures of career goals, interests, self-efficacy, outcome expectations and contextual supports in relation to technology. After teaching 2-3 modules, students’ technology-related career goals were again determined using a reduced version of the same questionnaire. Based on the outcomes, it was found that at the beginning of the study, boys’ future career goals were significantly more connected with technology than those for girls. In addition, boys had a stronger background related to technology. As a result of the intervention, students’ technology-related career goals became significantly stronger for both boys, as well as for girls, but the change was more pronounced for girls. Key words: design-based science learning, gymnasium students, Social Cognitive Career Theory, technology-related career interests.

Published: September 2021

The purpose of this study was to explore the relationships among physical education teachers’ psychological capital, work stress, and creative teaching at junior and senior high school levels. The questionnaire was distributed to 58 schools in Taiwan and research sample were junior and senior high school physical education teachers. 395 questionnaires were distributed, 369 questionnaires were valid for statistical analysis. Hierarchical regression was used to test the impact of teachers’ psychological capital on their work stress and creative teaching. The findings showed that while self-efficacy, hope, and optimism of psychological capital significantly influenced teachers’ creative teaching positively, personal interaction and professional knowledge of work stress express negative impacts. In addition, it was found that teachers with higher personal interaction stress and higher professional knowledge stress had lower creative teaching. The study suggests to increase physical education teachers’ psychological capital and enhance teachers’ creative teaching and students’ satisfaction.

Authors: Škoda Jiří , Doulík Pavel , Bílek Martin , Šimonová Ivana
Published: September 2021

The study presents the results of the quantitative research focusing on the effectiveness of the inquiry based science education (IBSE) in correlation to motivation types of learners. Reflecting the fact that the learning results are impacted by the inner motivation, the main aim of the research was to find out whether there are differences in IBSE effectiveness in four motivation types - explorers, directors, coordinators, and accurators. The IBSE approach was applied for the period of five months to 395 fifteen-year-old learners of Czech lower secondary schools. The IBSE effectiveness was tested before the instruction (pre-test), immediately after it (post-test1) and four months later (post-test2). The results of four motivation types were compared. Directors reached the best results in post-test1; explorers in post-test2; accurators´ results were the worst of all. These findings show that the IBSE cannot be applied as a universal method; teachers should adjust its exploitation to learners’ individual particularities. Key words: educational practice, inquiry-based science education, learners’ motivation types, quantitative research, testing.

Authors: Casotto Pirchiner Juliana , Da Silva Passamai Paulo Cesar , Moscon Oliveira Eduardo Augusto
Published: September 2021

Este artigo discute as contribuições da história e memória no processo de educação não formal, por meio da manifestação cultural do Congo do Espírito Santo, patrimônio cultural imaterial. A memória é elemento constituinte do sentimento de identidade, tanto individual ou coletiva, sendo este fator determinante no pertencimento de uma pessoa ou de um grupo. As festas de Congo enquanto patrimônio imaterial promovem a identidade dos integrantes e fortalece as relações sociais em que compartilham valores e trocas simbólicas, adquirindo significados individuais e se unem coletivamente, resolvendo por meio dos festejos num plano simbólico as contradições da vida social aparentemente inconciliável no plano político. O Congo é um espaço de resistência, rico, que abre possibilidades de uma educação voltada para a preservação, conservação e valorização cultural reconhecendo a produção de conhecimento existente neste espaço e de divulgação do conhecimento histórico produzido nestes grupos e comunidades.

Authors: Sánchez Arjona Eva , Saiz Pantoja Roberto
Published: September 2021

La lengua oral en Educación Infantil escapa de la enseñanza de muchos docentes que dedican sus esfuerzos a la lengua escrita. En ocasiones se desconocen recursos que pueden generar situaciones de interacción, sin embargo, los libros de no ficción se presentan como herramienta idónea para ello. En este trabajo se realiza un análisis documental del libro Mundo Cruel de la editorial Wonder Ponder con el objetivo de conocer en profundidad el libro seleccionado para diseñar una propuesta didáctica orientada a promover el desarrollo de la oralidad. Los resultados indican que Mundo Cruel es un libro de filosofía visual que se presta a una dinamización orientada a promover estrategias como la descripción, la explicación o la argumentación, y a trabajar géneros discursivos como el debate, la entrevista o la exposición oral. Los diferentes hallazgos permiten concluir con una propuesta de talleres de lectura y oralidad sustentada por el libro Mundo Cruel.

Pontos e contrapontos nas políticas inclusivas: avanços ou retrocessos?
Authors: Galganni Pacheco da Silva Gemma , E Silva Lima Márcia Raika
Published: September 2021

Atualmente, as políticas públicas educacionais para a educação de alunos público alvo da educação especial - PAEE, são elaboradas em defesa da constituição de uma educação que seja para todos, indistintamente. Assim, propõe-se estudar as últimas políticas (BRASIL, 2008; 2020) implementadas para a organização da Educação Especial, cujo objetivo consiste em refletir acerca dos avanços ou retrocessos que essas políticas incidem sobre essa modalidade de ensino. Adotou-se como procedimento metodológico, a abordagem qualitativa, em consonância com os procedimentos técnicos da pesquisa bibliográfica e documental. Considerando esta premissa, analisa-se que as políticas para a modalidade da Educação Especial na atualidade não devem retroceder quanto à perspectiva inclusiva, pois os alunos PAEE já carregam em seu legado histórico o fardo da exclusão, da segregação, da nulidade social. Estas marcas impactam, negativamente, nas conquistas que esses grupos tem adquirido na história em que se está constituindo, que é a pós-modernidade.

Authors: Choe Gon Soo , Kim Jong Woo , Kim Chul Gu , Kim Jae Hui
Published: September 2021

Purpose: To investigate the limited response to aflibercept after switching to aflibercept in neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Methods: This retrospective study included 70 eyes with neovascular AMD that were initially treated with ranibizumab and then switched to aflibercept. The incidence and timing of the limited response to aflibercept were identified and visual outcome was compared between eyes with and without limited response. In addition, factors predictive of limited response were analyzed. Results: A limited response to aflibercept was noted in approximately 1/5 of the patients who underwent switching to aflibercept in neovascular AMD. Switching to aflibercept was performed at a mean of 16.2 ± 12.7 months after diagnosis. During the mean 34.7 months of follow-up after switching, limited response was noted in 15 eyes (21.4%) at a mean of 22.0 ± 13.9 months after switching. The degree of reduction in visual acuity was mean logMAR 0.34 ± 0.41 in eyes with limited response and mean 0.06 ± 0.20 in eyes without (p = 0.002). In addition, the duration between the diagnosis and the switching was shorter (p = 0.012), and the number of ranibizumab injections before switching was lower (p = 0.016) in eyes with limited response than in eyes without. Conclusions: Patients who showed limited response to aflibercept after switching to aflibercept showed a worse visual outcome. The probability of having a limited response is higher when the switching is performed earlier.
The Need for an integrative theoretical model to determine the personality of terrorists
Authors: Abdulqadir Ziyad
Published: September 2021

Terrorism is a threat to the whole of humanity, counterterrorism is a collective responsibility which requires extreme levels of cooperation and coordination between nations to reduce terrorism and terrorist behavior, in this regard, several international laws, decisions and agreements have been formulated or signed to tackle the problem. In recent years terrorism has become a real challenge for many countries of the world and for all humanity, because terrorism and aggressive behavior of terrorists, annihilated a lot of people, destroyed the infrastructure and economic structure of the group of nations of the world. The thought and extremist ideology of some groups making human in the circle of fear, constant anxiety, and affected the progress of nations in all sides of human life, also affected the human development, and the open humanitarian ideas.

Counter-terrorism has become an international issue, and study about it is important that should take into consideration the theoretical and practical aspects. However, with the lack of internationally accepted definition and theories about terrorism as a phenomenon, perhaps it is not surprising that there is a similar shortage of theories on how to combat it. Moreover, the increasing complexity and the wider threat of the phenomenon of terrorism and extremism, with the influx of actors and a range of motivations, strategies, tactics, and evaluation tools are available on how to confront such threats are necessary in guiding the process of policymaking to combat terrorism.

This article aimed to claim the necessity of forming a theoretical model to determine the personality traits of the terrorist and distinguish them from the pathological personality. (Mental illness). According to some hypotheses and theories of the personality of terrorists and a comparison between the two personalities: “terrorist and abnormal personality” with a number of studies that dealt with them, thus, there is a need for a theoretical model to determine the traits of the personality of terrorists.

Мета статті полягає в дослідженні особливостей взаємозв’язку особистісних рис з копінг-стратегіями у військовослужбовців, які знаходяться на етапі декомпресії після виходу з зони бойових дій. Проаналізовано погляди дослідників на взаємозв’язки копінг-стратегій поведінки з рядом особистісних характеристик у військових. Представлено результати експериментального дослідження взаємозв’язків особистісних рис військовослужбовців з копінг-стратегіями. У дослідженні використано наступний діагностичний інструментарій: Опитувальник способів самоконтролю (адаптація методики WCQ) Р. Лазаруса і С. Фолкмана в адаптації Т. Крюкової, Е. Куфтяк, М. Замишляевої; особистісний опитувальник “SACS” (С. Хобфол); п’ятифакторний опитувальник особистості; методика багатофакторного дослідження особистості Р. Кеттела; фрайбургський особистісний опитувальник.  Для обробки емпіричних даних були застосовані такі методи: описова статистика та кореляційний аналіз.  Дослідження було проведене з 150 військовослужбовцями Збройних Сил України під час проводження ними заходів декомпресії, після тривалого перебували в зоні проведення Операції Об’єднаних Сил. Визначено, що вибір копінг-стратегій поведінки детермінується особистісними характеристиками. Встановлено та проаналізовано взаємозв’язки  між показниками копінг-стратегій та особистісними рисами: емоційною стабільністю та дипломатичністю, замкнутістю, невротичністю, роздратованістю, реактивною агресивністю, депресивністю, маскулінністю / фемінністю, комунікабельністю, довірливістю, дипломатичністю. Доведено використання копінг-стратегій військовослужбовцями під час декомпресії у взаємозв’язку з особистісними параметрами. Перебування в складних умовах безперечно вплинуло на психологічні особливості кожного військового. Отримані результати сприяють розробці програми розвитку особистісних детермінант вибору ефективних копінг-стратегій військовослужбовців на етапі декомпресії.

У статті узагальнено аргументи і контраргументи в межах наукової дискусії з питання удосконалення та обрання ефективних напрямів реформування системи ресурсного забезпечення сектору безпеки і оборони України. Основною метою проведеного дослідження є аналіз положень воєнної теорії за напрямом функціонування військового тилу напередодні та у ході німецько-радянської війни для розроблення загальних положень трансформації воєнної науки у сфері ресурсного забезпечення. На підставі систематизації літературних джерел та підходів до вирішення проблеми дослідження визначено, що досвід побудови та функціонування військового тилу напередодні та в ході німецько-радянської війни можна враховати у процесі трансформації системи ресурсного забезпечення. Актуальність вирішення цієї наукової проблеми полягає в тому, що в разі переходу до всеохоплюючої (тотальної) оборони в Україні необхідно буде застосовувати дієві механізми ресурсного забезпечення потреб оборони. Розвиток теорії воєнної науки за напрямом тилового забезпечення військ (сил) у ході німецько-радянської війни у статті досліджено в такій логічній послідовності: проаналізовано основні показники функціонування системи тилового забезпечення протягом німецько-радянської війни, визначено ключові організаційні зміни у структурі військового тилу, проаналізовано розвиток воєнної науки за напрямом тилового забезпечення військ (сил) напередодні радянсько-німецької війни, на першому та заключному етапах. Методичним інструментарієм проведеного дослідження стали методи аналізу та синтезу, періодом дослідження обрано 1918 – 1945 рр.
