Influence of controlled ovarian stimulation protocols on ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome patterns during in vitro fertilization programs
Authors: Zhukovskaya S. V. , Mozhejko L. F.
Published: December 2019

Different protocols of controlled ovarian stimulation have a significant influence on ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) patterns in women who undergo in vitro fertilization programs (IVF).

The objective of this research was to evaluate the impact of different ovarian stimulation protocols on various clinical and laboratory parameters of OHSS, such as embryologic characteristics, hormonal changes, hemostasis, and IVF outcomes. The study was made on the basis of the MPUE “Center of Reproductive Medicine” (Minsk, Belarus) and included,

in total, 718 women who underwent IVF for infertility treatment. 103 patients developed OHSS and were divided into two groups based on hormonal stimulation protocols: Group 1 included 60 women who were stimulated with gonadotrophin releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists protocol; Group 2 consisted of 43 women who were prescribed GnRH antagonists during ovarian stimulation.

In Group 1 (ovarian stimulation protocol with GnRH agonists), we established significantly higher serum concentrations of estradiol and progesterone during IVF and more marked hemostatic shift towards hypercoagulation: statistically significant elevation of fibrinogen and D-dimes simultaneously with decrease in the primary anticoagulants (antithrombin III and protein С) functional activity. Also, Group 1 had a significantly higher incidence of the early form of OHSS and embryo transfer cancellation caused by a high risk of severe OHSS.

OHSS that has developed after the GnRH agonists protocol of controlled ovarian stimulation is associated with higher risks of complications and lower chances of successful pregnancy, which is explained by hyperestrogenic state, elevated progesterone levels, marked hypercoagulation, and higher incidence of early OHSS, which leads to the necessity of embryo transfer cancellation.

The purpose was to determine the effectiveness of endothelial-epithelial dystrophy treatment with subconjunctival injection of low molecular weight hyaluronic acid.

Prospective material of 14 corneas with different epithelialepithelial dystrophy forms were examined and treated. To study the morphological features of keratopathy with the background of glaucoma staining of histological preparations with hematoxylin and eosin; histochemical staining (PAS reaction, MSB,Masson,Congored; IHC with CD44, MMP9, TGFβ1 were used.

According to the results obtained, in the group of patients with EED, with the background of the use of an injectable form of hyaluronic acid, the activity of inflammation decreases due to a decrease in the epithelial and stromal expression of CD44 and MMP9. The proapoptotic and profibrotic action of TGFβ1 decreases.
Development of the concepts of childhood autism: pathogenetic mechanisms and markers
Authors: Poluliakh O. E. , Mityukova T. A. , Martynenko A. I. , Zakharevich O. V. , Marchuk S. A.
Published: December 2019

Today, the study of autism spectrum disorders is relevant due to a high prevalence, an increase in the frequency of occurrence, as well as due to a lack of the unified concept of their etiology and pathogenesis. The purpose of the work is to conduct a brief review of evolution of the childhood autism ideas, including the pathogenesis issues and a search for possible markers of this disease. A brief information on the historical development of the childhood autism ideas, from the pre-Kanner period until now is presented. The modern pathogenesis theories are considered, including heredity, as well as the impact of adverse environmental factors on the child’s body during prenatal development: toxic effects, inflammatory processes and immune disorders in the mother’s body. Modern pathogenesis theories consider such processes as the disruption of synaptic transmission, metabolic disorders of neurotransmitters and neurospecific proteins, the carriage of antibodies to neurotransmitters and neurospecific proteins, the mitochondrial dysfunction, the peroxidation increase, the connection with gastrointestinal tract diseases and altered microflora. The data presented suggest that childhood autism is a multifactorial disease, and a search for markers should then cover a wide range of parameters, including genetic, immunological, biochemical, and possibly microbiological characteristics of the child’s body.
EU citizenship and categorization of EU migrants
Authors: Maslowski Solange Isabelle
Published: December 2019

The paper’s aim is to underline the growing phenomenon of categorization of EU migrants despite the existence of a common EU citizenship. It addresses legal categorization deriving from EU legislation and the jurisprudence of the Court of Justice of the European Union, but also factual categorization arising from host member states’ practices. The legal categorization of EU migrants reveals a clear differential treatment between economically active and inactive EU mobile citizens. Member states’ practices very often go further than legal categorization by excluding poor mobile citizens, viewed as abusers of rights (benefit tourism) or as a potential threat to local public order or security (ill health, begging, violence). This paper also investigates the incompleteness of EU citizenship, being unable to prevent categorization of EU migrants.
The Case of the Chronicle of Rivius
Authors: Dubonis Artūras
Published: December 2019

In his numerous works, in particular in Dzieje starozytne narodu litewskiego (Wilno, 1835-1841), Teodor Narbutt often referred to the Chronicle of Rivius, which he claimed to have found in Revel (Tallinn). Now the original (German) version of the Chronicle and its Polish translation are kept at the Library of the Lithuanian Academy of Sciences. According to Narbutt, the Chronicle, which is to be dated back to 1697, contains fragments of Rotundus’ Lithuanian history, lost long ago. Rotundus, in his turn, must have possessed an analogue close to the Chronicle of Bychowiec, possibly based on the annals of a certain Pinsk monk Mitrofan. Unfortunately, the most important part of the Chronicle was lost in a fire in Narbutt’ s house. Due to many inconsistencies in the presentation of the biography of Rivius, fanciful descriptions of historical events, factual and chronological fallacies and drawings of various fictitious artefacts, allegedly related to the history of Lithuania, investigators have been treating the Chronicle of Rivius as a forgery initiated or produced by Narbutt. Without dismissing the Chronicle outright, though seriously doubting its authenticity as a historical record, the author of this article calls for a more thorough critical research of its provenance.
The Annexation of Livonia to the Grand Duchy of Lithuania: Historiographical Controversies
Authors: Stancelis Vigintas
Published: December 2019

The aim of this study is to present the most characteristic scholarly evaluations of Livonia’s annexation to the Grand Duchy of Lithuania [GDL] and to discuss the most controversial issues and different interpretations of Lithuanian intentions in Livonia, contradictory opinions about the extent of influence in the country, the assumptions about the existence of the Lithuanian and Russian spheres of interest in Livonia, etc. Various causes, which determined the tactics of the political activities of the GDL in 1558-1561 as well as the factors, conditioning Livonia’s decision to submit to the ruler of Lithuania-Poland, are discussed, too. The significance of Livonia’s annexation to the GDL was treated variously by different investigators depending on their competence, engagement to particular conceptions and the methods used by them, as well as on their nationality or citizenship and other alternatives.
‘The Pole’ in the Policy of the Russian Government: Semantics and Praxis in the Mid-Nineteenth Century
Authors: Staliūnas Darius
Published: December 2019

The object of this article is to study Russian ‘nationality policy’. It investigates the social content of the concept of ‘the Pole’ in the Northwest Territory in the 1860s, in the interpretation of state officials and influential publicists. The study is also to reveal the treatment of the Lithuanians and Belorussians (i.e., peasants) and to establish whether they were treated as the allies of the regime or identified with ‘the Poles’. A conclusion is reached that in the 1860s a tendency (but not a general rule) prevailed that any Catholic, born in the Northwest Territory and not belonging to the peasant estate, was considered a Pole. That definition was current in the political conception of the nation prior to the modern times. Thus, at least in the 1860s the strategy propagated by Mikhail Katkov and other representatives of the Russian ruling elite to distinguish between Catholicism and Polis/mess did not gain ground.
Catholicism and Nationalism in the Views of the Younger Generation of Lithuanian Clergy in the Late-Nineteenth And Early-Twentieth Centuries
Authors: Žaltauskaitė Vilma
Published: December 2019

In historical scholarship the attitudes of the clergy at the turn of the century are often referred to as a generational conflict between older and younger clergymen. In this paper an attempt is made to establish the basis of the conflict and the extent to which it depended on the differences in age and outlook – in the different interpretations of the ratio between nationalism and Catholicism. The analysis of Catholic texts suggests that the ideological differentiation of the clergy can only partly be accounted for by the generation gap. The confrontation ’the young versus the old’ was conditioned by different conceptions of the clergy’s duties and the relationship between Catholicism and nationalism rather than by the conflict of their age groups. Clergymen treating Lithuanian national movement positively advocated the synthesis of Catholicism and (Lithuanian) nationalism, while others considered Catholicism as a universal dimension and supported the idea of political Lithuanian-Polish union against Lithuanian modern nationalism.
Attitudes of the Soviet Union and Germany Towards the Question of Vilnius Between the World Wars
Authors: Butkus Zenonas
Published: December 2019

The aim of this article is to examine the attitudes of the Soviet Union and Germany towards the problem of Vilnius in the period between the First and Second World Wars. The article is based mainly on unpublished documents from Lithuanian, Latvian, Estonian, German and Soviet archives. The problem under review emerged after the First World War, when Poland occupied the capital of Lithuania, Vilnius, and kept it under its control almost until the Second World War. Lithuania refused to recognize the situation, and between the two countries there arose a conflict, which was instigated by the Soviet Union and Germany, as they did not want the Baltic States and Poland to create a defence union.

The Soviet Union and Germany worked hand in hand in dealing with this conflict. In the process of its regulation they acquired quite an extensive experience in diplomatic co-operation, which they applied successfully in establishing the spheres of their influence in the Baltic States in 1939.
Lithuania’s search for International support to Resist Russian Aggression in 1918
Authors: Rudis Gediminas
Published: December 2019

The paper rejects a viewpoint prevalent among Lithuanian historians that the first government of the Republic of Lithuania, led by Augustinas Voldemaras, did not recognize the danger of Russia and was not concerned with the security of the state. Research shows that the government was fully conscious of the international situation of Lithuania and expected efficient diplomatic and military support from the Allies to counter Russian aggression. The orientation to the Allied powers was well-grounded, but too little attention was paid to the mobilization of the internal resources for the defence of the country. That was probably the most crucial drawback of the activity of Voldemaras’ government. Such a conclusion can reasonably be drawn if one takes into account the fact that at that time the Allied powers had not yet defined their policy with respect to the Baltic states.
The Belorussian Factor in the Genesis of the Modern Lithuanian State, 1915-1917
Authors: Gimžauskas Edmundas
Published: December 2019

The paper is devoted to a relatively recently researched subject – the relations between the Lithuanians and the Belorussians and the role of the latter in the genesis of the Lithuanian state in the early twentieth century.

At the start of the First World War in the German-occupied regions there was a chance to re-establish the Republic of the Two Nations for the first time after 1795. However, that was not the German intention. Initially they supported only the illusion of the re-establishment of Lithuanian statehood in the lands of the former Grand Duchy of Lithuania. In this policy there was also some space for the rudiments of the political activity of Lithuanian and Belorussian intellectuals. Since the beginning of the ‘Los von Russland’ Campaign of 1916 it is possible to trace certain open efforts to obtain Lithuanian and Belorussian statehood. In the Lithuanian political struggle formulas of historical and ethnic statehood were applied taking into consideration the practical political manoeuvres of the warring countries. After the declaration of Polish statehood on 5 November 1916 the ethnic model became more important. In the east an ethnic Lithuanian state was to coincide with the historic ‘Lithuania Proper’. That was a basis for more or less constructive relations with the Belorussians, who also preferred to adhere to the historical formula. After the February Revolution, when the Belorussians started requiring the historical statehood of the whole of the GDL, contacts were broken, and they were renewed in the autumn of 1917 after the election of the Lithuanian Council (Taryba).
The Lithuanian Nobility in the Late-Fourteenth and Fifteenth Centuries: Composition and Structure
Authors: Petrauskas Rimvydas
Published: December 2019

This paper presents a critical review of the historiographically dominant theory stating that the upper layer of the Lithuanian nobility formed its independent power only around the middle of the fifteenth century. The extant sources shed little light on the role of the nobility in the political processes of the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. A complex of sources, more fully reflecting the specifics of the country, appeared only after the arrival of writing in Lithuania at the end of the fourteenth century. It was only in this period that the place of the nobles in the system of government became evident. Therefore, it is possible to speak about a distorted perspective, suggested by the early records. The paper presents a definition of the nobility and an analysis of the origin, composition and structure of the Lithuanian ruling elite in the late fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. Consequently it is possible to speak about the prerequisites of the rule of this social group and the duality of the power of the grand duke and the nobility. Two principal tendencies of the development of the Lithuanian nobility in the fifteenth century – personal continuity and internal transformation (family structure) – are distinguished.
The Jagiellonians and the Stars: Dynasty-Sponsored Astrology in the Fifteenth Century
Authors: Rowell S.C.
Published: December 2019

Mediaeval scholars attempted to fit received data and information from empirical observation into a pre-ordained model of the universe. Astrology was, and in many cases still is, a form of applied astronomy held by its adherents to be verifiable by events, that is, history. Drawing connections between celestial coincidences and events known to have happened under such circumstances in the past seemed to offer a possibility for predicting types of occurrence which might take place given a similar stellar conjunction in the future. In their turn some historians, especially those with university connections, subsequently seem to have used astrological records annotated with details of actual events as a source of information for their own work and were able to present, where relevant (in their view), a star-told causation of events. The importance of astrology at royal courts in England, France and Italy has been a subject of special study for a considerable time but the largest centre for astrological study in the fifteenth-century was the University of Cracow. The use of astrology at Jagiellonian courts in the fifteenth century is examined here with reference to the use of such data by court historians such as Jan Długosz and Bernard Wapowski.
Censorship in Lithuania: A Tool of Russian Policy; 1831–1865
Authors: Medišauskienė Zita
Published: December 2019

This paper deals with the specificities of Russia’s policy of censorship conducted in the Northwest Province by the Vilnius Censorship Committee between 1831 and 1865. In the general context of the Province an attempt is made to give answers to the questions: (1) by whom and in what way the attitudes of the censors of Vilnius were regulated with respect to the Lithuanian and Polish press ‘under local conditions’ and (2) what requirements of the Censorship Committee were caused ‘by local conditions’ and by the implementation of Russia’s policy in the Northwest Province. The study is based on official documents, censorial lawsuits, and the censored manuscripts. It is maintained that the opinion and initiative of the governor general of Vilnius were crucial in formulating the ‘local’ policy of censoring. The principal aim of the censorial activity was to ensure the integrity of the Russian Empire by preventing the spread of disintegrational anti-Russian ideas and those of propagating the independence of Poland and ‘Polish patriotism’. Attempts were also made to weaken the influence of the Catholic Church, in particular among the peasantry and to create conditions favouring both religious tolerance and the dissemination of Orthodoxy.
The General Confederation of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania (1734–1736)
Authors: Sliesoriūnas Feliksas
Published: December 2019

This article deals with the issue of the political alliance of the nobility of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania (GDL) – the activity of the General Confederation of the GDL between 1734 and 1736 focusing on issues which have not been researched properly up to now.

The General Confederation of the Polish Kingdom, called the Confederation of Dzików was politically akin to that of the GDL. The Poles proposed to form a common confederation, but the Lithuanian leadership was not inclined to do that. The General Confederation of the GDL established in 1734 was the last such organization of Lithuanian nobles, which did not join the Polish General Confederation. Nevertheless, in emigration the two confederations maintained close contacts. The internal conflicts of 1733-1736 came to an end following the Pacification Sejm in June and July 1736, which granted an amnesty to the Confederates and confirmed the election of Augustus III.

Drawing on the so far untapped archival sources, the author reveals the contemporary diplomatic and military activity of Russia.
The Kaleidoscope of Possibilities Facing Lithuanian Statehood in 1944
Authors: Laurinavičius Česlovas
Published: December 2019

This study investigates viable alternatives to the situation that developed in Lithuania in 1944, i.e. alternatives to the variant of Soviet Lithuania encompassing Vilnius and Klaipėda.

The conclusion is drawn that Lithuania’s sovereignty and territorial determination would have been dependent on the degree of Poland’s sovereignty and on a more rigid attitude from Roosevelt and Churchill towards Stalin.
New Citizens of Vilnius (1661–1795)
Authors: Urbanavičius Agnius
Published: December 2019

The term ‘new citizen of Vilnius’ was used to define a status of a person gaining the burgher rights in Vilnius. To become a new citizen of Vilnius, a person usually had to fulfil certain requirements. Merchants and artisans were admitted to burgher rights of urban citizenship under various conditions. These conditions were closely linked to guild statutes. The largest professional groups of the new citizens of Vilnius were those of artisans, merchants and traders. The new citizens of Vilnius were mainly newcomers. The vast majority of them were arrivals from within the Grand Duchy of Lithuania.
The Peculiarities of the Development of Economic Thought in Lithuania (Sixteenth-Nineteenth Centuries)
Authors: Laumenskaitė Egidija
Published: December 2019

Economic thought in Lithuania has comparatively deep historical roots and some special achievements to its credit. The establishment of the Department of Political Economy at the University of Vilnius in 1803 was the first such high recognition of the physiocrats’ concept in the history of economic science. The reasons for physiocracy to appear as a syllabus subject at Vilnius University were rooted not only in the specific character of the country’s economy and educational system, but also in the ideological prehistory of the discipline. The turn of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries marked the first period of vigorous development in economic thought in Lithuania and coincided with the development of economic ideas at Vilnius University, established in 1579. Rapid changes in economic life and the widespread Reformation movement in the mid-sixteenth century gave birth to active debates on social and economic issues. At that time the Grand Duchy of Lithuania was not merely following the development of economic ideas of the West (which was the fact later, especially with the upsurge in the economic thought in the twentieth century), but also disputing them (although the scope of this polemic was noticeably slender) and looking for solutions to the country’s keenest economic problems. The economic ideas of Jan Abramowicz, Marcin Smiglecki and others are worth consideration in the context of the development of European economic thought as a whole. The educational reforms at Vilnius University at the end of the eighteenth century (from Vilnius Academy, managed by Jesuits, to a more open educational institution) gave a birth to a new upsurge of economic thought in Lithuania. Vilnius University adopted the new discipline of Political Economy. Professors Hieronim Stroynowski, Jan Waszkewicz, and Michał Oczapowski started developing various courses in economics. However, after the Uprising of 1831 the University of Vilnius was closed down and further development of economic thought was restricted for almost a century. The unsteady evolution of economic thought in Lithuania in the period under review is connected with the country’s general economic and political development.
The Zionist Press on Lithuanian-Jewish Economic Rivalry in the 1930s
Authors: Bendikaitė Eglė
Published: December 2019

The Zionists were fully aware that the ideal that they propagated in relation to the creation of a political home for the whole Jewish nation could not be implemented overnight. Therefore, the concern about the socio-economic situation of the Jewish community was one of the main issues of Zionist activity in the Diaspora. The consequences of the world Depression of the 1930s, domineering nationalistic ideology, a big wave of anti-Semitism in Western Europe aroused strong public emotions in Lithuania, which manifested themselves mainly in the struggle for the ‘neglected’ economic positions in the country.

This article attempts to reveal how the economic rivalry between the Lithuanians and the Jews was seen and presented in the Zionist press, most widespread and widely read by people of various political viewpoints in the 1930s. The information contained in the Zionist press throws light on the formation of the attitude towards the national economic programme conducted by Lithuanian authorities, placing emphasis on the importance of export and import, the qualification examination of artisans, the law on holidays and rest days, etc. Attention is also paid to the propaganda of the Association of Lithuanian Merchants, Manufacturers and Artisans (established in 1930), and the specifics of their rhetoric. The press response to professional competition, narrowing the spheres of the engagement of Jews and the propaganda of hatred towards the Jewish nation are also dealt with.
The Joyous Entry of Casimir I and IV into Lithuanian and Polish Cities
Authors: Rowell S.C.
Published: December 2019

This article uses published and unpublished material to examine the entry of Casimir Jagiellończyk into various towns in Poland and Lithuania. Royal entry ceremonial demonstrated the social contract between the lord and his subjects: his legitimate and accepted position as dominus naturalis, his respect for his subjects’ liberties, and in return his subjects’ loyalty to their prince and acceptance of his legitimacy. There is a general format to entrees royales throughout Europe. The ceremonial has recognised overtones of religious ceremonial and the selection of dates for making a solemn entry was also connected with religious festivities. Lithuanian and Polish models are similar, as we would expect. Vilnius became a deliberate re-creation of Cracow with much centring on the Stanisław cult in the castle church-cathedral. However, Lithuania was not blocked out by Poland in this state theatre. Ceremonial under Casimir illustrates the diversity and unity of his realms. There is a colour for all participants – usually red with gold embroidery, sometimes green or indeed brown or black. However, just as Princess Jadwiga’s golden carriage with the shields of Poland and Lithuania represented both the Kingdom and the Grand Duchy, so the style of clothing of her Polish, Lithuanian and Tatar retinue was distinctive and noticeably varied. Even the breed of horses ridden by members of an entry retinue could differ – but not in an uncontrolled way. Despite the fact that Lithuanian and Polish practice does not follow the French model exactly, it is part of a general European political culture.

Forest cover dynamics in the Ukrainian Carpathians during 1988‒2007: A geomaticsbased geoecological analysis
Authors: Kruhlov I. , Kuemmerle T. , Chaskovsky O. , Knorn J. , Radeloff V. , Hostert P.
Published: December 2019

Landsat TM/ETM+ images covering the whole Ukrainian section of the Carpathian Ecoregion and representing four time periods (1988–1989, 1994, 2000–2002, 2006–2007) were processed using SVM-classification and overlaid to detect changes in forest cover. The changes were analysed for the whole study area, for 33 individual meso-ecoregions and their seven orographic classes as well as for the 14 main river basins. The study showed decrease of forest disturbances, mainly caused by clear-cuttings, after 1988 and their slight increase after 2000 together with a significant increase of new forest succession areas. The obtained indices differ from those previously mentioned in Ukrainian publications. The distribution of the forest cover and its disturbances across the ecoregions and the basins reveals generally sustainable pattern – the stable forest cover increases with the growth of mean relative and absolute elevations. Relatively high recent disturbance rates in some meso-ecoregions, especially of low- and medium-mountains, are possibly caused by massive die-back of cultural spruce stands. However, it is not expedient to further increase the forest cover of the river basins and the region in general. Key words: Ukrainian Carpathians, forest cover change, remote sensing, ecoregions, river basins.

The Predictive Validity of Classroom Observations: Do Teachers’ Framework for Teaching Scores Predict Kindergarteners’ Achievement and Motivation?
Authors: Patrick Helen , Mantzicopoulos Panayota , French Brian F.
Published: December 2019

We used multilevel analysis to examine the predictive validity of scores from the Framework for Teaching (FFT), the observation measure used most often to evaluate teachers’ instruction. We investigated how well 81 kindergarten teachers’ FFT scores for eight reading and eight mathematics lessons observed throughout the year predicted students’ year-end achievement and motivation in reading and mathematics, controlling for students’ sex, ethnicity, and achievement entering kindergarten. Standardized reading and mathematics achievement were each predicted by FFT scores; however, they accounted for very little of the overall variance in students’ achievement: 2.5% for reading and 1.3% for mathematics. Neither students’ end-of-year criterion-referenced achievement nor motivation were predicted by FFT scores.
