Authors: Volkova E. A.
Published: February 2020

A monograph “Vegetation and biotopes of the “Narochansky” National Park was published in Minsk, Belarus in 2017, edited by A. V. Pugachevsky (Grummo et al., 2017). It includes the Map of terrestrial vegetation (S. 1 : 60 000) and the Map of biotopes (S. 1 : 60 000). Some small-scale maps such as the Map of changes in forest cover of the “Narochansky” National Park for the period 1985–2016, the Map of forest loss in the “Narochansky” National Park for the period 1985–2016 and a series of inventory and analytical maps on the basin of the Naroch Lake are given. This monograph can be considered as a small regional Atlas with detailed explanatory texts to the maps. It presents the experience on vegetation mapping accumulated in the Laboratory of Geobotany and Vegetation mapping of the Institute of Experimental Botany of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus.

Despite some critical comments, mainly concerning the biotope map, this publication of Belarusian geobotanists deserves an approval. They received the full answers to the questions posed: “What do we protect?” and “What is a current state of the vegetation of the National Park and the main trends of its dynamics? Cartographic design is made at a high level; the maps have both scientific and practical importance in the planning of environmental and economic activities.

Published: February 2020

Morphological characters and fruit anatomy were analysed for distinguishing the new genus Caelestium, containing C. lazkovii (= Bactria lazkovii), endemic of the Central Tien Shan (Kyrgyzstan), and C. tianschanicum (= Polygonum tianschanicum), endemic of the Eastern Tien Shan (Xinjiang, China), from the genus Bactria in its updated circumscription, now containing only B. ovczinnikovii, endemic of the Pamir (Tajikistan). The genus Caelestium was established based on the results of molecular analyses and the details of the secondary structure of pre-rRNA of the ITS1 and ITS2 loci, but its morphology is poorly known. The morphological characteristics of Bactria and Caelestium were compared, and the anatomy of fruit was examined for these taxa and some species of Persepolium and Atraphaxis. Caelestium lazkovii and C. tianschanicum share the morphology of their leaf blades, perianth, fruits and styles, but differ in the color of annual shoots, the size of the perianth and fruits. They resemble Bactria ovczinnikovii in their life form, morphology of shoots, ochreas, inflorescences, and sporoderm ornamentation, but differ from the latter in the shape of leaf blades, fruits, and styles, micromorphology of tepals, and exocarp structure. SEM and LM images illustrating morphological characters are provided. The geographic ranges of the taxa are presented on the distribution map. Morphological characteristics distinguishing Caelestium and Bactria from Atraphaxis, Persepolium, and Polygonum are discussed.

Eye contact is among the most primary means of social communication that humans use from the first months of life. Quantification of eye contact is valuable in various scenarios as a part of the analysis of social roles, communication skills, and medical screening. Estimating a subject's looking direction from video is a challenging task, but eye contact can be effectively captured by a wearable point-of-view camera which provides a unique viewpoint as a result of its configuration. While moments of eye contact from this viewpoint can be hand coded, such process tends to be laborious and subjective. In this work, we developed the first deep neural network model to automatically detect eye contact in egocentric video with accuracy equivalent to that of human experts. We trained a deep convolutional neural network using a dataset of 4,339,879 annotated images, consisting of 103 subjects with diverse demographic backgrounds. 57 have a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder. The network achieves overall precision 0.936 and recall 0.943 on 18 set-aside validation subjects, and performance is on par with 10 trained human coders with a mean precision 0.918 and recall 0.946. This result passes class equivalence tests in Cohen’s kappa scores (equivalence boundary of 0.025, p < .005), demonstrating that deep learning model can produce automated coding with a level of reliability comparable to human coders. The presented method will be instrumental in analyzing gaze behavior in naturalistic social settings by serving as a scalable, objective, and accessible tool for clinicians and researchers.
Public Support for Zika Control Policies
Authors: Scherer Aaron M
Published: February 2020

Background: Lack of public support for infectious disease policies could lead to non-compliance with such policies, increase government mistrust, and undermine other government efforts. There is very little data regarding sources of influence on public support for infectious disease policies during an epidemic to inform the decision making of policy makers.Objective: Conduct an exploratory assessment of the temporal and demographic characteristics associated with public support for potential Zika prevention policies in the United States during the 2015-2016 Zika epidemic.Methods: Three cross-sectional, demographically-diverse samples (Ns=518; 605; 833) composed of U.S. adults aged≥18 were recruited through an online research company. Data collection time points were during peak U.S. media coverage of the Zika epidemic in Brazil but prior to local transmission in the U.S. (March 2016); after the first cases of local Zika transmission in the U.S. (August 2016); and after Zika risk in the U.S. had returned to baseline (March 2017). Primary outcome measures were support for policies focused on Zika prevention and control via restricting movement (quarantines; travel bans), vaccination, or vector control (DDT; genetically modified mosquitoes).Results: Support for every policy increased after local Zika transmission and remained elevated for policies focused on restricting movement but decreased for both vaccination policies and one vector control policy. Religiosity was the only characteristic consistently associated with policy support; other characteristics were associated with support for specific policy types.Conclusions: Public support for infectious disease prevention policies may substantially decrease after an epidemic has ended, which could undermine efforts to prevent future outbreaks. Researchers and policy makers should consider how ideologies, particularly religious ideology, could be leveraged to increase public support for infectious disease policy.

Living well by letting go: Reliability and validity of a brief measure of nonattachment
Authors: Elphinstone Brad , Sahdra Baljinder K. , Ciarrochi Joseph
Published: February 2020

There is a growing literature on nonattachment, defined as a flexible, balanced way of relating to experiences without clinging to or suppressing them. We developed a 7-item Nonattachment Scale (NAS-7) by shortening a previously validated 30-item measure (NAS; Sahdra, Shaver & Brown, 2010). NAS-7 was found to display strong psychometric properties in American and Australian samples (total N = 504), including a unidimensional factor structure and measurement invariance across different samples. The correlations of NAS-7 with other theoretically relevant constructs were virtually identical to the long-form NAS. Across different samples, NAS-7 assessed nonattachment was associated with greater autonomous regulation, self-actualization, psychological and subjective well-being, and reduced materialism and depressive symptoms. NAS-7 is a suitable alternative to the long-form NAS as it takes about half the time to complete than the long form without a substantial loss of information.

Discerning Mouse Trajectory Features with Drift Diffusion Model
Authors: Leontyev Anton , Yamauchi Takashi
Published: February 2020

In decision-making tasks, participants are commonly instructed to respond by pressing a key. This design provides information about how fast and accurate an individual can respond but does not allow a researcher to directly study the process of response selection. Recently, mouse cursor tracking has been applied to offset this limitation. However, it is unclear whether RT/accuracy-based measures and mouse movement features (e.g. velocity) assess the same cognitive processes. To clarify the relationship between mouse movement features and cognitive processes, we developed mouse-tracking versions of the stop-signal and delay discounting tasks and investigated a) whether people respond similarly in the tasks with traditional design and tasks employing mouse cursor tracking; b) which features of the decision-making process mouse movement measures correspond with. Although participants responded similarly in tasks with traditional and mouse tracking design, only a few mouse movement features were related to the elements of the decision-making process.
The effect of free-field presentation and processing strategy on a measure of spectro-temporal processing by cochlear-implant listeners
Authors: Archer-Boyd Alan , Goehring Tobias , Carlyon Robert P.
Published: February 2020

The STRIPES (Spectro-Temporal Ripple for Investigating Processor EffectivenesS) test is a psychophysical test of spectro-temporal resolution developed for cochlear implant (CI) listeners. Previously, the test has been strictly controlled to minimize the introduction of extraneous, non-spectro-temporal cues. Here, the effect of relaxing many of those controls was investigated to ascertain the generalizability of the STRIPES test. Pre-emphasis compensation was not applied to the spectrum of the STRIPES stimuli, the test was presented over a loudspeaker at a level above the automatic gain control (AGC) threshold of the CI processor, and listeners were tested using the “everyday” setting of their clinical devices. There was no significant difference in STRIPES thresholds measured across conditions for the majority of the CI listeners tested. One listener obtained thresholds above the theoretical spectral limit of performance when listening with their clinical processor. An analysis of longitudinal results showed excellent test-retest reliability over multiple listening sessions. Overall the results show that the STRIPES test is robust to extraneous cues, and that thresholds are reliable over time. Above a threshold limit defined by the filter settings of the CI processor used, no guarantee of the validity can be made of measured thresholds, and thresholds may be more variable. The STRIPES test may be sufficiently robust for use across CI manufacturers and in non-research settings.

It has been called an epidemic and a public health crisis. In May of 2019, a diverse group of researchers participated in a workshop at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. This workshop was sponsored by the Center for the Dynamics of Social Complexity (DySoC) and the National Institute for Mathematical and Biological Synthesis (NIMBioS). The objectives of this workshop were to review the existing approaches on the mathematics and modeling of gun violence, identify and prioritize areas in the field that require further research, develop cross-disciplinary collaborations to gain new perspectives, and suggest research and data collection that could assist evidence-based policy recommendations. The purpose of this report is to present some of the responses to the mentioned objectives and to suggest areas of future research .
Concordance of professional ethical practice standards for the domain of Data Science: A white paper
Authors: Tractenberg Rochelle E.
Published: February 2020

Data science is a discipline that has emerged at the intersection of computing and statistics – two disciplines with long standing guidance for ethical practice that feature professional integrity and responsibility. The 2018 National Academies of Science Report on Envisioning the Data Science Discipline recommends that “The data science community should adopt a code of ethics”, but due to its recency and to the diversity of paths into data science as a discipline, there is no real “community” that can do or organize this adoption. To support this recommendation, this white paper is an effort to document concordance across professional association practice standards, intended to support the ethical practice of data science by appealing to the consensus of these professional organizations on what constitutes ethical practice. The American Statistical Association (ASA) and the Association of Computing Machinery (ACM) recently revised their professional ethical practice standards in 2018. Both sets of guidance represent the perspectives of experienced professionals in their respective domains, but both organizations explicitly state that the guidelines apply to – should be utilized by – all who employ the domain in their work, irrespective of job title or training/professional preparation. Given that both statistics andcomputing are essential foundations for data science, their ethical guidance should therefore be a starting point for the community as it contemplates what “ethical data science” looks like.The work of analyzing concordance in ethical guidance begins with a qualitative examination of the overlap (similarly worded principles), alignment (thematically similar principles), and gaps (dissimilar principles) that exist between existing sets of standards. To that end, the ethical practice guidance has been thematically analyzed from the standards outlined by the ASA, ACM, the International Statistics Institute, Royal Statistical Society, and the Ethics in Action guidance drafted by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Initiative on Ethics of Autonomous and Intelligent Systems. This synthesis is intended to capture similarities and differences in relevant practical guidelines, integrating professional organizational perspectives on what constitutes ethical practice in data science to support and strengthen the domain. Ultimately, guidelines for ethical data science that reflect the concordance of cognate disciplines can ensure coherent integration of the features of ethical practice into training of data scientists - for both the practitioner and those who use data science, or its outputs, in their work.

Authors: Nur Mahmudah
Published: February 2020

This paper is the result of research on the exploration of the work of scholars (ulama) in Banten Province. The focus of this study is on the ability of Abuya Muqri in the field of religion and magic as one of the symbols of the leadership of a Kiai in the Banten region.  The philology approach was used in this study to examine the authenticity of the text. As for analyzing the content of the text that is associated with this research issue, the author uses the sociological knowledge and intertextual approach to see the consistency and relationships of Abuya Muqri's thoughts or ideas in his writing, namely the Abuya Muqri’s diary as a leadership concept in the Banten region. This study shows that abilities in religion and magic are the most important indicators for clerics in the Banten region. Without both, the clerics have no important position in the Banten community. With the ability of religion and magic (the wisdom of wisdom) written in Naskah Catatan Harian Abuya Muqri, Abuya Muqri was successfully recognized as one of the famous Kiai in Banten and made it a knot of wisdom in Banten in the 20th century.Keywords: Leadership, Abuya Muqri, Religion, Magi and Abuya Muqri Daily Record Manuscripts (NHCAM) Tulisan ini merupakan hasil penelitian mengenai eksplorasi karya ulama di Provinsi Banten. Kajian ini berfokus pada kemampuan Abuya Muqri dalam bidang agama dan magi sebagai salah satu simbol ke­pemimpinan seorang kiai di wilayah Banten.

Transforming Growth Factor – β and Glioma
Authors: Handoko Harrison , Hardiany Novi Silvia
Published: February 2020

Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) is a regulatory cytokine secreted by various types of cell such as stromal cell, immune cells and tumor cells. Signaling of TGF-β plays an important role in proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis regulation of various cell, including glial cell. Disruption in the signaling pathway of TGF-β is commonly seen in tumor cells and is believed to contribute to the initiation and progression of cancer cells. Changes in the chromosome accompanied by genetic mutation has been observed which causes TGF-β to act as an oncogene, a substance which promote normal cells to differentiate to cancer cells.Increased level expression of TGF-β molecules has been seen in more malignant gliomas which yields a lower prognosis for the patient compared to those with lower expression of TGF-β. Malignant gliomas are characterized by rapid proliferation, invasion of parenchyma and angiogenic capabilities, are most common type of primary brain tumors. Studies have now implemented specific targeted therapy which act as a treatment for glioma cases. This review will focus on the role of TGF-β in glioma and its application in the treatment of glioma.International Journal of Human and Health Sciences Vol. 04 No. 03 July’20 Page : 156-160

Published: February 2020

Background: National screening programme for cervical cancer has been running in Bangladesh since 2004 through visual inspection using acetic acid (VIA). However, Pap’s smear is also used for the same, where it is available.Objectives: To see the effectiveness of VIA and Pap’s Smear as cervical cancer screening methods.Methods: This prospective study was done on 600 women who attended the outpatient gynaecology clinic and cervical cancer screening programme underwent both VIA and Pap’s smear cytology. Histopathology was taken as gold standard to compare the performance of VIA and cytology (Pap’s smear). Hence, positive cases were further subjected to colposcopy directed biopsy. Then the sensitivity and specificity of VIA and Pap’s smear were compared. The study was done in Dhaka Medical College Hospital, Dhaka, between July and December 2012.Results: On VIA, 46 had aceto-white lesions and on Pap’s smear, 28 had atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASCUS) or worse lesions out of 600 women screened. 22 were positive on both VIA and cytology; 24 were positive on VIA only; and 6 were positive on cytology only. Histological diagnosis of CIN/carcinoma cervix was found in 36 positive cases, who underwent biopsy (n=52). Among them, 20 were picked up from Pap’s smear positive cases, whereas, 34 were VIA positive cases. VIA was found more sensitive (94.44%) than Pap’s smear (55.55%), which was statistically significant (p<0.001). However, the specificity of VIA was slightly lower (97.87%) than that of cytology (98.58%). Positive predictive value (PPV) of VIA was 73.91% for VIA and 71.42% for Pap’s smear, while Negative Predictive Value (NPV) were 9.63% and 97.2% respectively.Conclusion: VIA has got much more sensitivity and slightly lower specificity than that of Pap’s smear in cervical cancer screening.International Journal of Human and Health Sciences Vol. 04 No. 03 July’20 Page : 189-193

Published: February 2020

Topicality. Modern regional economic systems require a radical change in the strategy of innovative development, which, among other strategies, acquires a special meaning and needs to identify its features and priorities in the implementation of the directions of development of regional systems.The innovation activity strategy should be decisive among other strategies and should be designed to change the technical and technological base of regions, to influence information resources of a certain type of economic development and not only to technological upgrading, but also to a fundamental change in the entire resource base of the region in which priority will be be provided with the latest developments in the high-tech field.Aim and tasks. Identify the peculiarities of the strategy of innovation activity of regional economic systems, indicate the purpose of such strategy, its means and tools for practical implementation and outline the possible expected results in the near future.Research results. Based on practical materials collected when writing articles, found that under current conditions is extremely necessary strategy for active response to the innovation of modern regional economic systems.The lagging behind of leading countries in the field of innovative technologies becomes extremely critical and leads to economic and even military expansion of Ukraine.More developed countries that exploit the weakness and insecurity of our country pursue aggressive trade policies, impose their far better products than they are driven by economic dependence on. Ukraine needs a major innovation of the technological basis on an innovative basis, and regional economic systems must play a leading role in such an upgrade.Conclusion. Thus, the strategy of innovation activity of regional economic systems should be active, perhaps even aggressive and aimed at achieving strategic priorities in the creation of intellectual products.
Posterior Tibial Tendon and Spring Ligament Lesions in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Authors: Bouysset M. , Tavernier T. , Decullier E. , Confavreux C. , Tebib J.G. , Coury F.
Published: February 2020

In rheumatoid arthritis, a significant number of patients have hindfoot pain while they are considered in low disease activity. Then the rheumatoid hindfoot may evolve in valgus flat foot with disability. The aim of our study was to observe the lesions of the main stabilizers of the hindfoot in rheumatoid arthritis to improve the followup and the treatment of the disease. Thirty-three feet (from 21 patients) with rheumatoid arthritis and pain of the hindfoot were consecutively observed. The patients have had no biologic treatment. Every foot had Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of the hindfoot with gadolinium injection. The tendon of the tibialis posterior muscle, the spring ligament and the inter-osseous talocalcaneal ligament were considered. All the feet presented tenosynovitis of the posterior tibial tendon. Structural lesions of the posterior tibial tendon (23/33 feet, 69.7%) were more frequent than lesions of the spring ligament (12/33 feet, 36.4%). There was no inferior spring ligament lesion without superior spring ligament lesion. No interosseous talocalcaneal ligament lesion was observed. In rheumatoid arthritis, the hindfoot, and particularly the posterior tibial tendon, should be evaluated during patient follow-up to detect a possible lesion. Posterior tibial tendon lesion arises at the same time as the spring ligament lesion, before interosseous talocalcaneal ligament lesion. Imaging, especially MRI, may complete clinical examination. If rheumatoid involvement of the posterior tibial tendon is observed, treatment intensification is required.
Using Internet Capacities for Social Statistical Surveys
Authors: HOLUBOVA H.
Published: February 2020

The article describes the features, problems and benefits of social statistical surveys by means of Internet. The changes taking place with the development of the Internet and social networks create new challenges, in particular as regards the methodological support of such research.

In the most developed countries, the population using the Internet is almost equal to the total population, and this trend will continue to spread in other countries as well. This creates many new opportunities for statistical social research.

Unlike conventional observations, social networks exist in such a way that they contain a great deal of information about users and their activities, which can be digitized and presented as a database in which information or information will be constantly updated or accumulated. Thus, it makes it suitable for generalization, calculation, classification, measurement, as well as for a number of advanced statistical and other analyzes. It is theoretically and practically possible to study the population as a whole, and not just its sample population.

Data on social networks are available in a continuous time series and space, which allows for constant monitoring of trends and contributes to a deeper understanding of cause and effect changes. This approach improves the descriptive plane of research, unlike conventional observation methods. At the same time, there are some difficulties, including the reliability of the observation data. Because, it is quite difficult to check the reliability of the socio-demographic characteristics of the data obtained (gender, age, education, etc.). In view of this, in the international practice the method of correcting the results of research in social networks with national observation data is used.

Therefore, the key issue remains to be the development of special methodology for social statistical surveys in the Internet, which will take into account all the features and specificities of the Internet environment on the whole and its users in particular.
The Conceptual Framework for Public Sector Entities’ Managerial Accounting
Authors: KORYTNYK L.
Published: February 2020

In order to ensure the realization of the principles of public policy for the modernization of the budget process and accounting system, the urgent task today is to develop conceptual bases for the implementation of management accounting for public sector entities that cannot be successfully and effectively applied without building a theoretical and methodological basis. Taking into account the purpose, objectives and goals of activities of the administrators of budget funds at different levels of management, the author’s position is proposed to determine the management accounting for each of them. This made it possible to assert that for the main administrators of budget funds the management accounting is aimed at fulfilling the functions of national importance, and for the lower level administrators of budget funds – to fulfill the statutory mission and to ensure a competitive position in the public services market. Studies of scientific and methodological approaches to the definition of the subject, objects, function, tasks and principles of management accounting allowed to make proposals for the specification of the subject, systematization of objects, expanding the list of existing functions, tasks and principles of management accounting, taking into account modern requirements for informative provision of economic information the processes of activity of public sector entities and the level of their participation in the budget process. The results of the conducted research will contribute to the continuation of the formation of the basic provisions of the national accounting system, taking into account the current needs of the information management space and the peculiarities of activities and status of administrators of budget funds.

The Violation of Campaign Props Installation in 2019 Election in Pekanbaru
Authors: Faridhi Adrian
Published: February 2020

The holding of the 2019 Election is a historic event for the Indonesian Nation, because it is the first election that combines the Election of President and Vice President with the Legislative Election. Law Number 7 of 2017 concerning General Elections regulates the Campaign mechanism, one of which relates to the use of Campaign Props, yet the regulation in its implementation still violates the use of campaign props. With the interest of investigating this problem, this study used the research methodology in the form of sociological juridical research on primary data collected from field research. The results of this study showed the campaign props that violate the provisions of the legislation derived from installation, and some props are still installed even though the campaign period has finished.

Designing experiments is activity-based laboratory learning where laboratory activities lead to scientific ideas which emphasizes qualitative processes that aim to encourage conceptual changing toward the students. Experimental designs made by students are still found many mistakes. These in designing experiments could be minimized by applying vee diagrams. The application of Vee Diagrams helps students in designing experiments, therefor it can minimize the mistakes commonly done in designing experiments especiallyin practical learning. The research method was used is action research consisting of two cycles. The decrease of error in designing experiments is analyzed as a percentage at each research cycle. The data were sourced from third semester biology education students who taking biochemistry courses. Data obtained from the error analysis rubric in designing experiments, questionnaire responses of students in design experiments and vee diagrams rubric. The results showed that the application of vee diagrams can minimize errors in design experiments with the greatest decrease in errors at the stage of making hypotheses while the smallest decrease at the stage of analyzing data.

The purpose of this paper is to present and exploit fundamental information, such as semantic meanings and geographical features, of phytotoponyms (a type of toponym that includes plant names) in Kazakhstan and the UK (United Kingdom). Toponymy data for this study were obtained from the place names database of Kazakhstan and the UK (United Kingdom). The results showed that the most common plant names recognisable in place names are common plants that have a close connection with daily life and positive morals in Kazakh and English culture and literature. The occurrence of plant names can reflect the characteristic plants of a city. The vegetation coverage rate where phytotoponyms are located is higher than that in non-phytotoponym areas. Altitude has a stronger correlation with the number of phytotoponyms than slope and vegetation coverage degree. The toponymic image of the world can be characterized from two sides as the relation to the ethnos (nation, nationality) and to the person (toponymic person, representative of the nation). A phytotoponym is also defined as a unit of vocabular relating to the area of spatial relationships and reflecting the location of a particular specified object.

Aim: Developmental dysplasia of the hip is a hip deformity that can be diagnosed early by numerous ultrasonic measurements. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the interobserver reliability of ultrasonic measurements using the Graf Ultrasound (USG) method.
Methods: Ultrasonic measurements that were used by Graf Ultrasound (USG) method were obtained at presentation for 62 randomized and consecutive patients. Bilateral hip USG measurements were made for each patient. Each USG outcome was evaluated on multiple occasions by an orthopedic surgery specialist, a pediatric specialist, and a 25-year experienced radiologist.
The statistical measurements were made by SPSS 20.0 (Windows, IL, USA). Intraclass Correlation Coefficient was determined. 95% Confidence Interval and F Test with True Value 0 was detected. P values were accepted as statistically significantly less than 0,05.
Results: At the evaluation before education for Graf USG classification, the results were established. In the interobserver reliabilities, Intraclass Classification Correlations (ICC) values were 0,939 for USG classification evaluation with Graf Method for right hips. ICC values were 0,907 for USG classification evaluation with Graf Method for left hips. At the evaluation after education for Graf USG classification, the results were established. ICC values were 0,975 for USG classification evaluation with Graf Method for right hips. ICC values were 0,970 for USG classification evaluation with Graf Method for left hips. All p values were significant. While before education for Graf USG classification ICC was 0,838 in right hips, 0,765 in left hips; after education, it was 0,928 in right hips, 0,915 in left hips.
Conclusion: Diagnosis of DDH deformity with USG is a complex and difficult condition that needs a serious education period. Graf USG method was found to have high interobserver reliability. And also, we detected that education for Graf USG classification increased intra-observer reliability, especially among pediatrists.
The humiliation of Christianity and the crisis of Christian civilization

The growth of the religious network, the pluralisation of religious life, the desecularization of the Ukrainian society, and the increase in the number of citizens who do not identify with one of the religions or believe themselves to be religious, raise the issue of the development of interfaith relations. "Religious Revival" in Ukraine in the Beginning of the 1990s. it was accompanied by conflicts between believers and religious organizations for religious property, spheres of influence, infrastructure development, quantitative expansion of the flock, and affirmation in society. It is safe to say that in Ukraine there were dialectically opposite to ecumenical processes - disintegration in the Orthodox environment and conflicts between Catholics and Orthodox. American religious scholar Joseph Loy called the current situation in Western Ukraine an "ecumenical Chornobyl" because it was a "catastrophe" in Catholic-Orthodox relations in the 1990s. polluted the "atmosphere of inter-church relations around the ecumenical world."
