Les impacts potentiels des communications médiatiques sur la santé psychologique des policiers québécois au travail : Étude exploratoire
Authors: Gagnon Kimberly D. , Deschênes Andrée-Ann , Laflamme Josée
Published: February 2021

Les policiers exercent un métier où ils sont confrontés à des situations graves et complexes. Plus encore, ils jouent un rôle central et d’une grande importance dans la société; ils assurent la sécurité publique et agissent à titre d’intervenants de première ligne (Leclercq, 2008; Shane, 2010). La presse négative combinée à l’arrivée des nouvelles technologies et leur grande accessibilité représente un enjeu supplémentaire qui peut affecter la santé psychologique des policiers. Depuis quelques années, les policiers font régulièrement la manchette, souvent de manière négative. La médiatisation de ces événements a-t-elle exercé un impact négatif sur la santé psychologique au travail des policiers concernés ? L’étude de Chermak et al. (2006) soutient que les médias représentent souvent la source centrale de perception de la légitimité policière pour les citoyens. La présente étude vise à explorer la relation entre les communications médiatiques et la santé psychologique des policiers. Elle entend utiliser le modèle théorique de Gilbert, Dagenais-Desmarais et Savoie (2011) pour expliquer la santé psychologique au travail. Les communications médiatiques seront discutées selon le modèle général des effets réciproques de la couverture médiatique de Kepplinger (2007). En considérant ce qui précède et puisqu’il s’agit d’une étude qualitative, un échantillonnage par réseau a été réalisé pour recruter les participants. Au total, 12 policiers ont accepté de participer, sur une base volontaire, à une entrevue semi-dirigée. Cette recherche a permis de reconnaître l’influence des communications médiatiques tant sur la santé psychologique des policiers au travail [...]
Mexican American Parrhesia at Troy
Authors: López César
Published: February 2021

In the late 1960s, Mexican American and Chicana/o students and faculty began to create new cultural and academic spaces at the University of Southern California (USC). As outspoken advocates, they promoted a collective social identity as they questioned USC’s commitment to fulfilling the moral and humanistic responsibilities of its educational mission. These students and faculty members took part in the formation of ethnic studies and Chicana/o studies on their campus and in higher education generally. Their activist contributions, however, have been ignored by USC and by most of the scholarly community. Yet, through their work and use of parrhesia (saying what one means with frank speech), the core Chicana/o movement concepts of Aztlán (the conception of a sacred homeland, borrowed from the Aztec cosmovision archetype of origins) and Chicanismo (a collective Chicana/o cultural nationalism) have been woven into the mythology of USC, creating a Chicana/o legacy of deep education and learning.
Keepers of the Culture at 3201 Adeline Street
Authors: Goldmann Kerry L.
Published: February 2021

This article examines how the increase in the numbers of black-operated theaters between the 1960s and 1980s molded the character of black cultural and social movements in the West and nationally. The emphasis placed on institutionalizing black theater demonstrated a significant cultural front within the larger social, political, and economic conflicts of this era. These theatrical institutions were physical manifestations of the heart of Black Power campaigns, facilitating community outreach and sovereignty through separatism. Black theaters reflected local distinctions in leadership and ideology but within a broader, national call for black liberation and black autonomy. Professional theater impresarios Nora and Birel Vaughn began laying the foundations for their theater, the Black Repertory Group, in Oakland, California, in 1964. A repertory theater company performing in a fixed location, Black Rep would cycle through a repertoire of black-culture-specific plays, providing black performers and playwrights both recognition and income. Operating in a black-owned space gave Black Rep control over its productions and performance. Giving neighbors and community leaders the opportunity to participate behind the scenes or even perform in Black Rep theatrical productions endeared the troupe to its supporters, enmeshing Black Rep as a valued communal institution. Black Rep opened its space as an autonomous black community center, running voter registration drives, social and political gatherings, and classes in black culture and history that spread the values of the Black Arts and Black Power movements. In the right place at the right time, Black Rep led a black repertory theater movement that spanned the nation. More importantly, Black Rep survives to this day. It stands as a testament to the strength and vision of the women leaders of black theater, and to the values of coalition building, economic self-sufficiency, and community-based activism that guided its founders.
The Exclusion of Roma and European Citizenship
Authors: Sardelić Julija
Published: February 2021

Some 10-15 million members of the Roma minority live in Europe; an estimated 6 million are citizens of the European Union. It was not until the 1990s that European Union institutions began treating Roma as an ethnic minority deserving of human rights protections. Concerns about mass migration of Roma from Eastern European countries where they face severe discrimination was one of the reasons the EU included protections for Roma among the conditions that candidate countries had to meet to qualify for consideration in its most recent rounds of enlargement. Those EU efforts have overlooked similar discrimination and neglect in western member states.
Why Greeks and Turks Fight
Authors: Constantinou Costas M.
Published: February 2021

The bicentennial of the Greek Revolution against Ottoman rule is an opportune time to ask why conflict between Greeks and Turks has continued for over two hundred years. Greek and Turkish national narratives reveal deeper reasons for the persistence of mutual belligerence, including common emphasis on national emancipation through violence, perceptions of iniquitous treatment in previous political settlements, and the influence of “banal imperialism” embedded in everyday national symbols. These mindsets continue to fuel disputes over Cyprus and maritime rights.
The EU’s Stealthy Hegemony and Ambiguous Neighbors
Authors: Clarkson Alexander
Published: February 2021

European integration based on a supranational form of pooled sovereignty has taken on increasingly state-like qualities. With every move toward absorbing additional members, the European Union system has expanded its geographic reach. The state-like power of the EU is apparent in the impact its integration processes have had in societies just outside its borders. Its growing influence is most notable in misfit border territories, from Kaliningrad to Transnistria, and from Cyprus to Northern Ireland, that are tenuously under the political control of neighboring geopolitical powers.
Validation of a commercial enzyme immunoassay to assess urinary oxytocin in humans
Authors: Schaebs Franka S , Wirobski Gwen , Marshall-Pescini Sarah , Range Friederike , Deschner Tobias
Published: February 2021

Within the last decade, oxytocin (OT) has attracted a lot of attention in the context of various human social behaviors. Besides its importance in regulating physiological processes in females related to giving birth and lactation, OT is involved in the establishment and maintenance of social relationships, trust and emotion recognition. However, results are not always consistent across studies, which may partly be due to the incomplete validation of methods used to assess OT levels. Carefully validating a method before its use is of crucial importance to ensure that it can be used to accurately, reliably and repeatedly assess OT levels. With this study we evaluated a commercially available Enzyme Immunoassay to assess OT in human urine samples by conducting a careful analytical validation. Results indicate that, with regard to parallelism and immunoreactivity, human urinary OT can be assessed reliably. However, extraction methods need further improvement to optimize measures of accuracy and extraction efficiency, especially in the lower range of the assay system. Tests on OT stability indicate that OT is affected by degradation when stored at 4°C or room temperature. Storing urine samples over longer periods revealed that OT levels are most stable when stored as ethanol extracts at −20°C compared to being stored as samples at −20°C or −80°C. Although some of the validated parameters did not reach the intended quality criteria, this study highlights the importance of such in depth validation procedures and reporting results to make them available to researchers embarking on projects utilizing such methods.
Analysing culture methods of frozen human ovarian tissue to improve follicle survival
Authors: Bjarkadottir Briet D , Walker Charlotte A , Fatum Muhammad , Lane Sheila , Williams Suzannah A
Published: February 2021

In vitro follicle growth is a potential fertility preservation method for patients for whom current methods are contraindicated. Currently, this method has only been successful using fresh ovarian tissue. Since many patients who may benefit from this treatment currently have cryopreserved ovarian tissue in storage, optimising in vitro follicle growth (IVG) for cryopreserved-thawed tissue is critical. This study sought to improve the first step of IVG by comparing different short-term culture systems for cryopreserved-thawed human ovarian tissue, in order to yield a higher number of healthy multilayer follicles. We compared two commonly used culture media (αMEM and McCoy’s 5A), and three plate conditions (300 µL, 1 mL on a polycarbonate membrane and 1 mL in a gas-permeable plate) on the health and development of follicles after 6 days of culture. A total of 5797 follicles from three post-pubertal patients (aged 21.3 ± 2.3 years) were analysed across six different culture conditions and non-cultured control. All culture systems supported follicle development and there was no difference in developmental progression between the different conditions tested. Differences in follicle morphology were evident with follicles cultured in low volume conditions having significantly greater odds of being graded as morphologically normal compared to other conditions. Furthermore, culture in a low volume of αMEM resulted in the highest proportion of morphologically normal primary and multilayer follicles (23.8% compared to 6.3-19.9% depending on condition). We, therefore, recommend culturing cryopreserved human ovarian tissue in a low volume of αMEM to support follicle health and development.

Lay summary

Ovaries contain a large number of follicles, each containing an immature egg and other important cells. Cancer treatments can lead to long-lasting negative side effects to the ovaries including the destruction of follicles, resulting in infertility. One strategy to preserve fertility is freezing of ovaries or ovarian tissue in girls and women undergoing cancer treatment. The long-term aim is to thaw and grow their ovarian tissue in the laboratory to obtain mature eggs, which can then be fertilised. In this study, we compared six different methods of growing previously frozen human ovarian tissue in order to best support follicle growth and health. We found that using the lowest amount of αMEM medium (a specific type of nutrient-rich growth solution) resulted in the highest proportion of healthy follicles. Improving the methods used to grow ovarian tissue, particularly frozen tissue, is important for future fertility preservation.
Servicios Académicos en Learning Commons de Bibliotecas Universitarias: Una respuesta a los requerimientos educativos actuales
Authors: González-Martínez Larisa
Published: February 2021

Indudablemente, la biblioteca es una institución orientada hacia el servicio, que posee también una profunda dimensión social. Esto significa, entre muchas cosas, que existe una relación entre la sociedad y la biblioteca. Debido a esto, el grupo social influye en la configuración del centro de información con lo cual afecta cada uno de sus procesos, incluyendo sus servicios. Las bibliotecas universitarias participan de esta clase de dinámicas y se han tenido que adaptar a los requerimientos educativos, dando paso a los Learning Commons o Ambientes para el aprendizaje los cuales, a su vez, han generado cambios en los servicios que ofrecen a sus usuarios. Ante esta situación, el presente artículo propone el concepto de servicios académicos para el apoyo a la labor y a la vinculación de las universidades, mediante la transversalidad, la gradualidad, la flexibilidad, la innovación, el dinamismo, el trabajo en equipo, la corresponsabilidad extendida y las habilidades del bibliotecario.

Authors: Gómez Hurtado Rosa Elena
Published: February 2021

El conocimiento generado y acumulado en las Instituciones de Educación Superior (IES) es una de las bases para su función social, por lo tanto resulta importante medir la evolución y los patrones temáticos de la producción científica registrada en las publicaciones. Se caracterizó la producción científica de las IES colombianas durante el período comprendido entre los años 2006 y 2015 mediante el análisis de la actividad científica, en la base de datos Scopus. Para el análisis de la distribución temática de cada IES se utilizó la estructura utilizada por el Consejo Nacional de Acreditación (CNA) que agrupa las áreas temáticas en ocho grandes grupos según los campos del conocimiento. No se excluyeron las autocitas. Como fuente de normalización se utilizó el Sistema Nacional de Información de Educación Superior (SNIES) que incluye un directorio de IES y las estadísticas con indicadores específicos (Ministerio de Educación Nacional, 2009). Los resultados muestran que el índice de citación de los investigadores de las IES colombianas es creciente al igual que su producción intelectual y se concentra principalmente en diez universidades, que posiblemente presentan mayor visibilidad internacional en materia de publicaciones indexadas.
Estudio de nuestro pasado prehistórico desde una perspectiva de género
Authors: Urbina-Medina Ivel Carolina
Published: February 2021

Este artículo propone analizar y reflexionar en torno al sesgo androcéntrico con el que se ha constituido las disciplinas históricas y en particular la arqueología, ciencia que estudia las sociedades extintas a través de sus huellas materiales, en el entendido de que las repercusiones que tienen el estudio y las interpretaciones de nuestro pasado americano ocasionan un entendimiento y razonamiento en nuestro presente. Se señala que la arqueología ha cumplido un papel de complicidad en la reproducción y naturalización de los estereotipos de género impuestos en nuestra sociedad, que terminan creando y legitimando relaciones de asimétricas entre individuos y colectivos. A partir de una investigación de tipo bibliográfico, enfocada desde una perspectiva de género y feminista, el propósito de este artículo ha sido hacer un recorrido de las discusiones dentro de la arqueología sobre el género y cómo se traduce esto en la praxis arqueológica y, como consecuencia, en el entendimiento de nuestro pasado prehispánico. Ello, con la finalidad de aportar propuestas y cuestionamiento que sirvan para aprehender y entender nuestro pasado histórico desde una perspectiva decolonial, reconociendo que es parte de nuestra labor académica reivindicar a los colectivos históricamente excluidos en la producción intelectual, en este caso, los pueblos indígenas y las mujeres y, a su vez, brindarle el reconocimiento a los saberes ancestrales como alternativas para la construcción de una sociedad distinta.

Del orden espontáneo al desorden inducido
Authors: Campodónico Sánchez Humberto
Published: February 2021

La historia del pensamiento económico en el siglo XX ha tenido una serie de importantes debates que orientarían las políticas económicas y las relaciones geopolíticas en gran parte de los países del mundo. En base a la crítica de los postulados de la economía clásica, se dieron una serie de propuestas que marcarían una serie de reformas significativas. Este artículo describe y analiza las propuestas de dos escuelas que confrontan justamente al pensamiento clásico. La primera, de John Maynard Keynes, que critica el orden “natural” de las leyes económicas y propone una intervención clave del Estado en su regulación. La segunda, de Friedrich Hayek, que sentaría las bases del neoliberalismo, y que se basa en proponer una fundamental libertad económica (incluso por encima de la política) y una intervención del Estado en la misma. El artículo cierra con un análisis de las políticas económicas en Chile y Perú, países que pueden ejemplificar cómo se ha desarrollado finalmente un modelo económico neoliberal en las últimas décadas.
Structural-parametric synthesis of deep learning neural networks

Published: February 2021

The structural-parametric synthesis of neural networks of deep learning, in particular convolutional neural networks used in image processing, is considered. The classification of modern architectures of convolutional neural networks is given. It is shown that almost every convolutional neural network, depending on its topology, has unique blocks that determine its essential features (for example, Squeeze and Excitation Block, Convolutional Block of Attention Module (Channel attention module, Spatial attention module), Residual block, Inception module, ResNeXt block. It is stated the problem of structural-parametric synthesis of convolutional neural networks, for the solution of which it is proposed to use a genetic algorithm. The genetic algorithm is used to effectively overcome a large search space: on the one hand, to generate possible topologies of the convolutional neural network, namely the choice of specific blocks and their locations in the structure of the convolutional neural network, and on the other hand to solve the problem of structural-parametric synthesis of convolutional neural network of selected topology. The most significant parameters of the convolutional neural network are determined. An encoding method is proposed that allows to repre- sent each network structure in the form of a string of fixed length in binary format. After that, several standard genetic operations were identified, i.e. selection, mutation and crossover, which eliminate weak individuals of the previous generation and use them to generate competitive ones. An example of solving this problem is given, a database (ultrasound results) of patients with thyroid disease was used as a training sample.
Sociological aspects of the study of interconnections between globalization and the COVID-19 pandemic
Authors:   Ivan Franko National University of Lviv 1, Universitetska Str, Lviv, 79000, Ukraine, Chernysh N. Yo.
Published: February 2021

The article is based on the author’s speech at the 14th International Sociological Readings of memory of N. V. Panina in Kyiv on December 10, 2020 and is an extended version of this speech. Paper presents reflections on the specifics of the relationship between globalization and the pandemic, and the possible configurations of this relationship in different types of societies. The author suggests that the interaction between globalization and COVID-19 is a separate case of glocalization in current conditions and identifies the coronavirus features that pose a direct threat to humanity. It is emphasized that there are no unambiguous forecasts for future developments. There are several scenarios for the possible development of a pandemic of this virus, the probability of realization of which largely depends on such a feature as the wave-like development of the exponent. These features and characteristics of coronavirus infection outline several new challenges for sociological science, among which the main is to understand the sharp narrowing of the traditional subject of its research – social relations and human interactions in objective reality, transferring their growing part to the Internet and explosive growth of virtual reality. This radically intensifies sociologists’ scientific research in the virtualization field and the multiplicity and hybridity of its forms and the cycle of realities in general. In the pandemic conditions, such spheres and directions of research appear as tertiary socialization on the Internet, forming virtual identities, forming a network person, etc. The priority trends of modern societies development in coronavirus pandemic conditions, such as radical renewal of economy and other spheres based on revolutionary technologies and introduction of artificial intelligence, are considered individually. It is emphasized that the coronavirus’s global spread has led to a reassessment of values, forcing people to reconsider existing constructs (e.g. D. Rodrick’s trilemma), in search of compromises. The article concludes with an appeal to Ukrainian sociologists to multiply efforts to understand new realities, considering new global, regional and local trends.

Female partners of men who have sex with men are a poorly studied group. Secondary analysis of the Ukrainian data gave the conservative number of such women as the range 10,700 to 43,000 persons. The article presents the results of the data analysis from the women’s subsample of a pilot a cross-sectional study of bisexual men and their female partners was conducted in 2013 in five Ukraine cities. 101 women were interviewed according to a standardized questionnaire, and 10 semi-structured interviews were recorded. The obtained data characterize the female partners of behaviorally bisexual men as a relatively young and mostly socially prosperous group with a completed education, having experience of cohabitation with men, as well as ready for sexual experiments and independent of the older generation. Confrontation with the bisexuality of the partner stimulates a change in perceptions of the relationship models between different genders and promotes the conscious choice of one’s own family life model with sensitivity to both members of the partnership’s needs. Most women interviewed characterize their relationships positively, although the stage may influence it in the relationship with the man before coming out of a bisexual and the rigidity of their own perceptions of gender roles. Limited communication with others, lack of sources of social and psychological support in crisis moments of life together may indicate socially disadapted status of heterosexual couples in which at least one partner is bisexual. This study’s main limitations are the small and non-random sampling and recruitment of respondents through their husbands or regular male partners who were open in their own non-heterosexuality.
Personnel management as the concept of interdisciplinary significance in the context of socially-oriented economy
Authors:   Zhytomyr State Zhytomyr Polytechnic 103, Chudnivska Str., Zhytomyr, 10005, Ukraine, Shestakova A. V.
Published: February 2021

The paper highlights the social orientation of the economy’s functioning related to enterprise personnel management. Suggested analysis testifies to the fact that based on the interdisciplinary orientation of the research related to the social sphere of the economy, the process of the functioning of any economic system envisages the permanent interrelation and effects of such three entities as man, enterprise and society. It has been substantiated that the interrelation between the above specified social and economic entities makes it possible to formulate the aim and outline the theses concerning the interdisciplinary approach to determining the importance of personnel management in the socially-oriented economy system. It has been revealed that in the case of the sector of “man-enterprise” model the most characteristic interdisciplinary link in personnel management is a personnel planning which possesses such inherent traits as the personnel disposition, the distribution of duties among employees and their motivation, as well as the strategic forecasting of the career development. The author shows that in the socially-oriented model of the economy of personnel management such as HR-management, human development and personal development aim to reveal the man’s needs and interests that appear in the process of labour during the change in the professional activities and further training. Besides, the above directions prove inevitable when looking for the compromise agreement between the employer and the employee. The research conducted proves that the interrelations’ conceptual principles between the social and economic entities and the cooperation results make it possible to determine the essence of the interdisciplinary approach to personnel management. This essence lies in determining and assessing man’s social criterion and his qualitative characteristics – humanism, trust, and team spirit. The qualitative characteristics outlined in the theoretical research and are related to personnel management make it possible to form up the socially-oriented economy for the society and the political system. Simultaneously, they are of great value for the individual, the enterprise, and society, since they help make the country’s political and economic systems socially-oriented when a man is not considered of minor importance after profit, money, and capital.

Criminality is all forms of action and conduct that violate the law as well social and religious norms that are detrimental to the society both economically and psychologically. The emergence of verious crime forms with new dimension recently shows that the criminality is always developing. In the effort to reduce the increase of the crime rate, a crime action prediction system is needed to anticipate the future. In this research a crime rate prediction system based in the types of criminal action using Triple Exponential Smoothing (TES) method has been developed, and the prediction  accuracy of the system is measured by using Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) method with a case study on Resort Police of Kabupaten Probolinggo, East Jawa. From the conducted test, obtained results MAPE score of  theft by weighting (Curat) type is 7% or Very Accurate prediction criterion. MAPE score for crime action type Others, motor vehicle theft (Curanmor), Destruction, and Fraud are 9.8%, 14.4%, 13.6%, and 16%, or Good prediction criterion.

Socialcristianismo gubernativo: una mirada administrativa a la historia
Authors: Bolaños Garita Rolando
Published: February 2021

El presente aporte se realizó en el marco de nuestra labor académico-investigativa en la UNED, siempre dentro de la búsqueda del mejor entendimiento acerca de la realidad nacional. Por ello, y desde una perspectiva cualitativo-documental, se abordaron los momentos en que, aparentemente, la ideología socialcristiana, propiamente la Doctrina Social de la Iglesia Católica, influyó en las condiciones económicas internas, dada su supuesta cercanía con la corriente del Liberalismo económico. De esta forma, se arriba a consideraciones que arrancan en la década de 1940 y alcanzan hasta el 2006, permitiendo inferir la existencia de un grupo político con tendencias católicas, que en ningún momento ocultó su preferencia por dicha ideología, y que, aunque latente, no tomó la forma radical propugnada por ellos.
Factores determinantes en la división sexual del trabajo en la industria textil costarricense (1960-1980)
Authors: Merienne Florence
Published: February 2021

El siguiente artículo tiene como propósito identificar los factores que intervienen en la división sexual del trabajo obrero en la industria textil costarricense fuertemente feminizada entre 1960 y 1980, época de auge de la producción textil en este país. El análisis de fuentes primarias de diversas índoles reveló la diversidad de los factores y actores en juego. La investigación se fundamenta en el examen de las planillas de varias empresas del sector textil, de expedientes por persecución sindical, de fuentes periodísticas y del Instituto Nacional de Aprendizaje. También se recurrió a entrevistas a trabajadoras y empresarios y a la literatura para reconstruir el contexto socio-cultural. De esa investigación, se desprende que aun en un contexto de escasez de mano de obra en la industria textil costarricense, los empresarios no renuncian a su visión de género y siguen organizando el trabajo en torno a la categoría de género. Las normas jurídicas, los modelos familiares, los sindicatos heredan también esa visión de género y contribuyen a su vez a perpetuar esa división sexual del trabajo. Patriarcado y capitalismo se nutren mutuamente en ese proceso, resultando para las obreras un lugar subordinado en el proceso de producción, el cual se traduce en fuertes desigualdades salariales en detrimento de ellas. Si bien, existen organizaciones feministas para cuestionar esa visión, no logran transformar sus reivindicaciones en un movimiento colectivo de envergadura nacional.

Authors: Izquierdo Vázquez Carlos
Published: February 2021

El artículo busca analizar los discursos en la prensa escrita acerca de los trabajos infantiles en las vías públicas de San José, en el marco de la expansión urbana. Se demuestra que predominaron los hombres, la venta de diversos servicios y la clasificación de los niños a partir de diversas categorías laborales, que simultáneamente, sirvieron para juzgarlos moralmente. Aunque generalmente se legitimaba su disciplina laboral, también hubo críticas hacia sus actividades de ocio, sus comportamientos públicos, y sus transgresiones. Se consideraba que muchos de estos niños podían caer en la vagancia y en la mendicidad.

Published: February 2021

Indian Railways is investing INR 814.590 billion (£8.15 billion) in two new dedicated freight corridors to decongest its heavily used national railway network. Due for completion in 2022, the new 1839 km eastern corridor runs fro. DFCCIL, Delhi to Kolkata while the 1499 km western corridor, capable of carrying double-stack containers, link. DFCCIL, Delhi to Mumbai. This paper describes the procurement process and the new technologies being adopted on the project. These include the first use in India of 32.5 t axle loads, continuous welded track, twin 25 kV overhead electrification, and automatic signalling and centralised train control for 100 km/h line speeds. The project is expected to shift a significant amount of freight transport from road to rail, saving an estimated 455 Mt of carbon dioxide emissions over 30 years of operation.

Introduction: Vitamin D deficiency is a global health problem that can be a risk factor for a broad range of diseases such as some autoimmune diseases. Due to the autoimmune base of lichen planus, it seems that a reduction of the serum level of vitamin D is related to lichen planus. In this study, we investigate the relation between serum level of vitamin D and oral lichen planus patients (OLP). Material and Methods: In this case-control study, 35 patients with OLP (including 15 men and 20 women) and 70 healthy volunteers (including 35 men and 35 women), aged between 30-60 years old, referred to Qazvin University of Medical Sciences were investigated. None of these volunteers had systemic diseases. Vitamin D levels were measured with ELFA (Enzyme Linked Fluorescent Assay) and the data was analyzed using the chi-squared test and t-test. Results: The mean serum level of vitamin D in the control group was 23.7±9ng/ml and in the case group was 18.12±8/7ng/ml. The results show that the serum level of vitamin D in patients with OLP is significantly less than in the control group (p<0.05). Conclusion: According to the results, the serum level of vitamin D in patients with OLP was significantly lower than that of healthy people.
