DIALECTIC OF PEOPLE'S, LEGAL AND MILITARY-POLITICAL ASPECTS OF THE PROBLEM OF DONBAS DE-OCCUPATION
Authors: Tsiurupa Mikhailo
Published: May 2020

The article provides reflexive analysis of the key factors of the cessation of armed conflict in the East of Ukraine and the return of the temporarily occupied regions of Donetsk to Lugansk oblasts under the authority and jurisdiction of our sovereign state.
As the oldest works on war and peace (Sun Tzu) are known, the longer the armed struggle is, the more difficult it ends with a just world, therefore, a wide range of approaches are usually proposed for resolving the armed conflict in the Donbass: from a compromise with the aggressor to victorious plans and strategies for a military solution to the liberation of captured territories. In the pre-election period, Ukrainian political parties, without theoretical justification, propose such populist approaches to solving difficult military-political problems. Our approach is based on the identification of the causes and consequences of the occupation of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the ORD and LO, the importance of adhering to the principles of international law, humanism and progress in the conduct of state policy, recognition of the factors of the key - activity factor of the peacemaking of multinational forces whose phenomenon is not explicated, theoretically unclear as to the peculiarities of the socio-political and humanitarian situation in the Donbass. Peacekeeping as a relatively new international legal and humanitarian phenomenon is attributed to the peaceful measures of the world community, which, according to the UN Charter, is taking "other measures" for the restoration of peace and the prevention of humanitarian catastrophes. His controversial nature follows from the fact that, on the one hand, the United Nations does not interpret its Statute, as "the right to intervene in cases that are essentially within the competence of any state, and on the other hand, it must take all measures for the establishment and preservation of peace.
He peculiarity of the use of multinational peacekeeping forces in the East of Ukraine is its work on the basis of the UN Charter, the synthesis of humanitarian, political, social missions, military and civilian control over the humanitarian situation, which could lead to disaster.

UKRAINE IN THE USSR: OCCUPIED TERITORY OR COLONY?
Authors: Hrabovskyi Serhiy
Published: May 2020

The author considers in this article the problem of definition the characteristics of the non-independent status of Ukraine at the time of the Russian Empire and the USSR as one of the key for the Ukrainian philosophy of history, political science and politics. This problem is extremely important both from a theoretical and a practical point of view. According to the author, Ukraine really had the status of a colony in one form or another, although nominally in the USSR was one of the "sovereign republics". The article outlines the main factors that prevent scholars from unanimously recognizing this status, criticized those areas of Western Postcolonial Studies, where hypertrophied racial factors and the "overseas territories" factor, and, in addition, the Russian Empire is ignored as a colonial state. The part of those researchers, who deny the colonial status of Ukraine in the USSR, emphasize the aggressive nature of Bolshevism and the imperial policy of Moscow, but at the same time they are talking about "occupied Ukraine." For example, the main territory of Ukraine after the collapse of the Russian Empire was occupied by Bolshevik Russia. After the Second World War, when almost all of the Ukrainian lands were united under the USSR, they were given an occupation regime that existed until the 1990s. The author of the article believes that this approach is a simplification of the real situation. The period of occupation in Eastern Ukraine ended in 1921, when the Bolsheviks were forced to make certain concessions to the Ukrainians, and in Western Ukraine - in 1953, shortly after Stalin's death. There has come a long period of colonial exploitation of Ukrainian resources, including human, whose consequences considerably complicate the life of the restored independent Ukrainian state. Decolonization is an incomparably more complex and prolonged process than liberation from occupation and overcoming its consequences.

Bruker DRX 500 instrument (126.76 MHz) was used to determine 13C NMR spectra, and Bruker AM 300 instrument (300 MHz) was used to determine 1H NMR spectra. Mass spectra were recorded by mass-spectrometer Kratos MS-30, UV spectra were recorded by means of the spectrophotometer Specord 40 (Analytik Jena). HPLC analysis was carried out with the use of chromatograph Milichrom-6 (NPO Nauchpribor).

Results. For the first time column chromatography by means of 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, UV spectroscopy, mass spectrometry allowed to isolate from Monarda fistulosa L. and characterize the following flavonoids: isorhoifolin (7-O-rutinoside of apigenin), linarin (7-O-rutinoside of acacetin), didymin (7-O-rutinoside of isosakuranetin), monardoside (5-O-rutinoside of apigenin), apigenin, acacetin. The composition of flavonoids was studied by means of HPLC method and isolated individual substances.

Conclusion. The results can be used to develop a pharmacopoeial monograph for a new type of raw material Monarda fistulosa herb.
Features of hematological changes in patients with hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome depending on the severity and period of the disease
Authors: Lyubushkina Anna V.
Published: May 2020

This article provides a comparative analysis of the features of hematological changes in patients with hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) in the Samara region, depending on the severity and period of the disease. In-depth study of the metabolic profile was carried out in patients with early hospitalization (until the 5th day of illness). Enzyme studies (ALT, AST, LDH, CPK), indicators of the protein spectrum and electrolytes were performed in patients (n = 73) who were admitted in the initial period of the disease. The patients with proven cases of HFRS were divided into 3 comparison groups: group 1 (n = 22) represents cases of a mild form of the disease (urea level up to 8.3 mmol / l, creatinine up to 130 mmol / l); group 2 (n = 25) includes the cases of a moderate form of the disease (urea level up to 19 mmol / l, creatinine up to 300 mol / l,); group 3 (n = 26) comprises cases of a severe form of the disease (urea level above 19 mmol / l, creatinine above 300 mol / l). The comparison of the groups was performed by using single-factor analysis of variance, between-group comparisons was carried out by means of Dunnetts test. Spearmans correlation analysis was performed to investigate the relationships. Our study demostrates that thrombocytopenia and lymphopenia, as well as a significant increase in ferritin and C-reactive protein (1020-fold) are the early signs of any severity of the disease. Both the level of urea and creatinine and their concentration in the blood as well as aggravated trombo- and lymphocytopenia, determine the severity of the disease. The revealed differences in the key metabolic indicators on the 3rd5th day of the disease will allow to solve the problem of early prediction of the severity of the disease, which will be fully manifested in the oliguric period.

In Colombia, coconut shell wastes represent an environmental burden equivalent to approximately 38,890 tons of waste per year. The use of materials made with the fiber of the shell is proposed, seeking to reduce the impact of the coconut industry.  In this study, nonwovens were developed from coconut fibers by different methods to analyze their impact on breaking force and deformation. Thus, needle-punching and chemical bonding were evaluated regarding two different levels of percentage of adhesive and punching frequencies. Additionally, fiber diameter was measured, the fiber components were obtained, and the tensile tests allowed to acquire the mechanical strength of the fibers and nonwoven materials. Coconut fibers were found to have an average elastic modulus of 1.83 GPA, due to their large diameter (0.3 mm) and low cellulose content (46.5 %). Also, it was shown that the implemented bonding method had a great effect on the mechanical properties of the nonwovens, in which the maximum breaking strength value was 212.34 N by the chemical adhesion method. The widespread use of this kind of material could reduce the waste generated by the coir industry.

Correlation of lymph node size and their metastatic infiltration in gastric adenocarcinoma
Authors: Deb Pratap Kumar , Fazal Syed Abul
Published: May 2020

Background: In adenocarcinoma stomach, lymph node involvement is a significant predictor of survival, and a decisive factor in planning management. Size has always been an important criterion while considering the metastatic status of the node, in its radiological evaluation or otherwise. However, to what extent the size of a node can be considered as a reliable criterion for its metastatic potential remains a question.Methods: The present study is based on retrieving lymph nodes per operatively from patients of carcinoma stomach, measuring each node, evaluating its metastatic status and comparing the results to find a correlation between these two parameters.Results: The present study, examined a total of 187 nodes from 30 gastrectomy specimens. Among them, metastasis was found in 59 nodes (31.55%). Among these metastatic nodes, 34 (57.62%) were actually less than 5mm in size. Among the total sizes of all the lymph nodes examined, the mean±SD (standard deviation) of the metastasis positive nodes were found to be 6.42±3.86 mm, while that of the non-metastatic nodes were found to be 5.51±1.99 mm. However, it was also observed that larger nodes (>1 cm), tend to have a high chance of being malignant (62.5%).Conclusions: The above study shows though large nodes tend to be malignant, ignoring small nodes can lead to gross under staging or incomplete clearance while treating patients of adenocarcinoma stomach. Smaller nodes constitute a significant proportion of malignant nodes and must be evaluated. Size is not a reliable criterion of metastasis in lymph nodes of carcinoma stomach.
Anti-Shia Mass Mobilization in Indonesia’s Democracy: Godly Alliance, Militant Groups and the Politics of Exclusion
Authors: Amal M Khusna
Published: May 2020

This article examines violence against religious minorities, especially Shia groups in the democracy of Indonesia, focusing particularly on the case of the 2016 anti-Milad Fatimah (Fatimah Birth Commemoration) mass mobilization performed by IJABI (The all-Indonesia Assembly of Ahlul Bait Associations) in Bondowoso, East Java, Indonesia. This article finds that the anti-Milad Fatimah mass mobilization involved alliances and conspiracy between Godly Muslim groups with a varied agenda. Sunni militant groups from the Nahdlatul Ulama (NU), FPI (Islamic Defenders Front), Wahabi/Salafi, and Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia (HTI) groups, which merged into FOKUS (Ahlus Sunnah Wal Jama'ah Communication Forum), were the main protagonists who played a key role in driving mass mobilization. Unlike previous studies that understood the anti-Shia movement merely as a form of affirming Islamic orthodoxy, this study finds evidence that there were wider agendas than the theological ones. Excluding the Shia from capturing Islamic public space, and challenging religious authority and local power which was dominated by moderate Muslim groups, were the socio-political agendas which contributed to the anti-Milad Fatimah mass mobilization. The involvement of radical Islamist groups such as the activists of the Tarbiyah and HTI is a sign that there is a strong political agenda behind mass mobilization. However, the ultimate goal of applying Islamic Sharia will never fade from the religious movements of Islamist groups.

Authors: Dzuhayatin Siti Ruhaini
Published: May 2020

The phenomenon of the increasing number of niqabis in Indonesia and Egypt has become  concern to the government, academics and also civil society. This is due to the involvement of the niqabis or women with the niqab in terrorist networks. Those piece of cloth covering the face is not merely the manifestation of faith but apparently entails a certain ideological doctrine of the so-called Islam kaffah (ultimate Islam) through the establishemnt of Islamic khilafah (Islamic caliphate) as opposed to democracy and modern state. This study aims at observing the extents to which the niqabis negotiate Islam and their nationalism in their respective counties in Indonesia and Egypt where Muslim are the major population. This study employed a mix of methods, qualitative and quantitative involving 205 Niqabis from Indonesia and 87 niqabis from Egypt.  The quantitative data were obtained from 292 respondents.  While the qualitiative data were collected  from 27 niqabis in-depth interview through life story technique, 6 Eqyptians and 21 Indonesians. twelve prominent figures in Egypt and  Indonesia were interviewed and two focuse group discussions were conducted in both countries involving women activists, academicians, government employees, and religious leaders. The framework of this study is the contestation between Islamism and nationalism. This study indicated that there is a significant difference between the niqabis of Indonesia and Egypt percieved the national pride. Around 30 percent of Indonesian niqabis are not proud being the Indonesian citizen while in Egypt only about 3 percent.  Bank interest is used to measure their Islamic refinement through which Niqabis in both countries share a similar view where almost 90% of them  believe that the practice is not Islamic. Moreover,  more than 50% support the Caliphate system which means that one in four niqabis consider that the existing government is thoghut (non Islamic) and nearly 15%  agree to defend Islam by means of violence.
The Scavenger Hunt: A Technique for Enhancing Culture Learning and Intercultural Communication Practice
Authors: Santoso Martha Nandari
Published: May 2020

In this changing era, which is characterized by the interconnected world, and the increasing mobility of people, the need to be able to communicate inter-culturally is evident. To be successful in intercultural communication, one does not only need to be linguistically competent but also culturally knowledgeable and sensitive. Bearing in mind these cultural needs, this paper details the scavenger hunt technique as a tool for enhancing culture learning and intercultural communication practice. Although this technique applies to students of any major, this study was specifically implemented to a group of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students in Indonesia. Participants of this study were nine (9) male and twenty (20) female students of The English Language Education Program at a private university in Central Java, Indonesia. The students did the scavenger hunt in a group of four or five during their three-day trip to a multicultural setting in Indonesia: Bali island, and documented the activities in vlogs. The students’ vlogs which were data of this study were analyzed by using a qualitative content analysis approach.

Amaç: Dünya Sağlık Örgütü palyatif bakım ile hastaların fiziksel şikayetlerine yönelik destek tedavilerinin yanında psikososyal ve manevi sorunlarının giderilmesi, aynı zamanda ailenin ve bakım verenlerin de desteklenmesini hedefler. Palyatif bakım hastalarına bakım verenlerde, strese uzun süre maruz kaldıklarından çeşitli sağlık sorunları, işlev kayıpları gelişmekte ve hayat kaliteleri de olumsuz yönde etkilenmektedir. Çalışmadaki amacımız Palyatif Bakım Servisi’nde yatan hastaların bakımını üstlenen bireylerin stres algılarını ölçmek, stres düzeyini etkileyebilecek sosyo-kültürel ve sağlığa yönelik özelliklerini ortaya çıkarmaktır.Yöntem: Araştırma tanımlayıcı, kesitsel bir anket çalışmasıdır. Araştırmanın evreni 1 Şubat 2019 ile 1 Mayıs 2019 tarihleri arasında Palyatif Bakım Servisi’nde yatan hastaların bakımlarını üstlenen bireylerdir. Katılımcılara; kişinin sosyo-kültürel özelliklerini, sağlık durumlarını, bakımını üstlendiği hastanın hastalık geçmişine yönelik soruları içeren anket formu uygulanmıştır.  Ayrıca, katılımcılara stres düzeylerini ölçen ‘Algılanan Stres Ölçeği-10’ da uygulanmıştır.Bulgular: Katılımcıların %61.25’i kadın, %38,75’i erkekti. Bakıcı bireylerin %41,25’ini hastaların eşi ve çocukları oluşturmaktaydı. Hastalarının şimdiye kadar toplamda hastane yatışı günü 21±6,74 olduğu belirlenmiştir. Hastasına daha önce evde veya hastane dışı bir ortamda bakanların oranının %21 olduğu, bu süreçte karşılaştıkları en önemli sorunlar ise; hasta bakımına ilişkin sorunlar, hastalığa ait şikayetler ve tükenmişlik olduğu saptanmıştır. Hasta bakıcı bireylerde en sık görülen kronik hastalıklar; diyabet (%13,20), hipertansiyon (%12.26), depresyon (%10,37) olarak belirlenmiştir. Kronik hastalıklarının kontrol altında olduğunu düşünen bireylerin oranı %55.8’di. Algılanan Stres Ölçeği ortalama puanı 21,09±6,74 idi.Sonuç: Palyatif bakım servisinde yatan hastaların bakımını üstlenenler, bakım süreçlerinde birçok sorunla karşılaştıklarını belirtmişlerdir. Hasta bakımında rol alan bireylerde depresyon tanısının normal popülasyondan daha fazla olduğu saptanmıştır. Hasta bakımını üstlenen bireylere psikososyal destek verilmesinin gerekliliği görülmektedir.

Toplumda sık görülen ve önemli bir halk sağlığı sorunu olan hipertansiyon, yüksek morbidite (kardiyovasküler ve renal hastalıklar, inme vb.) ve mortalite oranları nedeni ile doğru bir tanısal yaklaşım ve sıkı kontrol gerektirmektedir. Birçok farklı branşın ilgi alanına giren hipertansiyona yaklaşım için ülkemizdeki hekimlerin günlük klinik pratiklerinde faydalanacakları Türk Hipertansiyon Uzlaşı Raporu 2015 yılında yayımlanmıştır. 2017’de American College of Cardiology/ American Heart Association (ACC/AHA) American College of Physicians (ACP) ve 2018 yılında European Society of Cardiology (ESC) hipertansiyon kılavuzlarının güncellenmesi üzerine, bu raporun da yenilenmesi ihtiyacı doğmuştur. 2019 yılında güncellenen Türk Hipertansiyon Uzlaşı raporunda; kan basıncı (KB) düzeyleri yeniden sınıflandırılmış, sekonder hipertansiyon için ayrı bir bölüm yazılmış, tedavi altında olmayan hastaların takibi için yeni bir algoritma oluşturulmuştur. Farmakolojik tedavide tercih edilecek ilaç grupları sayısı beşten (diüretikler, beta blokerler, kalsiyum kanal blokerleri, anjiotensin dönüştürücü enzim inhibitörleri, anjiotensin reseptör blokerleri) dörde indirilmiş ve beta blokerlerin sadece spesifik endikasyonlarda kullanılabileceği vurgulanmıştır. Hipertansiyon tedavisinde yaş ve eşlik eden hastalık varlığına göre KB hedef değerleri yeniden tanımlanmış, artmış KB grubunda (sistolik kan basıncı 120-139 mmHg, diyastolik kan basıncı 80-89 mmHg) “risk temelli yaklaşım” ile ilaç tedavisi kararının verilebileceğinden bahsedilmiştir. Gebelik ve laktasyon dönemindeki hipertansiyon hastalarının tedavisi için yeni bir bölüm eklenmiştir. Derlememizde; 2019’da yayımlanan bu rapordaki değişiklikler ele alınmış olup, KB kontrolünün takip ve tedavisinde güncel ulusal yaklaşımın birinci basamak sağlık hizmetlerine yansıtılması amaçlanmıştır.

Objective: This study was planned with the aim of determining the clinical characteristics of patients served by the Bolu Home Health Care Services (HHCS), their reasons for making use of home health care services, and the distribution of care.
Method: The sample of this descriptive study consisted of 386 patients to whom service was being provided by Bolu HHCS. A Patient Information Form created by the researchers by examining the relevant literature was used to collect data. Numbers, percentages and mean distributions were used in the analysis of data.
Results: The mean age of the individuals receiving HHCS who participated in the study was 61.6+10.4 years; a majority were female; 50.8% were married and 78.0% lived with their families, and for 70%, their children had applied to HHCS. It was found that most of the patients (96.1%) were satisfied with the home care services, 97.6% had no expectations beyond the current services, 80.1% had a chronic illness, with circulatory system diseases the most common; they most often made use of physical examination, blood collection and wound dressing services, and most were old and dependent patients.
Conclusion: It was seen in the light of the results of the study that it is important to plan home health care services especially for dependent and semi-dependent old people, to develop protective health services relating to the risks of early stage stroke and cardiovascular disease, and to improve rehabilitation services.

Ascorbic Acid and selenium has a potential use in the prevention of cancer. The role of antioxidant enzymes against cancer is to prevent oxidative damage. The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of Ascorbic Acid and selenium on antioxidant enzyme activities in HepG2 cell line. In this study, the effects of Org Se (234 µM), SeO2 (100 µM), Ascorbic Acid (31,3 mM) and Ascorbic Acid (0,313 mM) on antioxidant enzyme activities in HepG2 cell line were studied. GPx, CAT and SOD activities were measured spectrophotometrically. There was a significant increase in the activity of GPx in HepG2 cells treated with Org Se (234 µM), SeO2 (100 µM), Ascorbic Acid (31,3 mM) and Ascorbic Acid (0,313 mM), however the activity of CAT was found significantly decreased in Org Se (234 µM), SeO2 (100 µM), Ascorbic Acid (31,3 mM) treated HepG2 cells. The SOD levels of HepG2 cells treated with Ascorbic Acid (31,3 mM) and AA (0,313 mM) were found higher than the control cells. The results of the present study indicated that the antioxidant enzyme activities changed depending on Org Se, SeO2 application and CAT activities changed depending on Ascorbic Acid doses.

Published: May 2020

Se hace una revisión de un grupo de pacientes con preeclampsia severa y su equivalente número de controles normales con el fin de estudiar los cambios de la contractilidad uterina y la frecuencia cardíaca fetal durante el primer período del parto (período dilatante). De este grupo de 40 pacientes ya se publicaron los hallazgos de la revisión de los mismos parámetros durante el período expulsivo y su relación con morbilidad perinatal (1). En todas se realizó registro continuo de C.U. y F.C.F.Se encontró diferencia significativa en la variabilidad de la línea de base de la FCF en el sentido de una disminución en las pacientes toxémicas. También fue notorio el hallazgo de una mayor proporción de desaceleraciones variables. (Dips umbilicales o variables) en los fetos de madres toxémicas que en aquellos de los controles y se discute la f¡siopatología de los cambios anteriores.Es importante hacer referencia al hecho de que los cambios dependientes de la compresión del cordón umbilical son más frecuentes que aquellos dependientes de una insuficiencia útero-placentaria en la preeclampsia severa durante el primer período del parto.
