INVESTMENT ATTRACTIVENESS OF INDUSTRIES: FEATURES AND TRENDS
Authors: Gutkevych Svitlana
Published: August 2019

The article shows that the investment attractiveness of the branches of the economy depends on the sources of their investment. The purpose. The purpose of the article is to determine the features and trends of investment attractiveness of industries. Results. The volume of budget investments has been reduced, and the state is not the main executor of the investment process and can influence it through the system of taxes, loans, depreciation, privileges, and subsidies. It is determined on the basis of the analysis of sources of investment that self-financing is of paramount importance and the main source of investment is its own resources, first of all, profit. The basic functions that make a profit and the factors affecting it are determined. The considered functions directly result from the development of the enterprise and depend on the adoption of investment decisions. The role of the profit in the adoption of an investment decision depends on its type: short-term expected profit is a complete self-financing, which implies the rapid implementation of investments. Profit is the result of the effective operation of any investment object and the basis for making an investment decision. These functions can be considered as classical interdependent because they find content only in the conditions of their existence and contribute to the development of production. The innovation activity of the enterprise determines its potential market opportunities and attractiveness for the investor, and profit growth is ensured mainly due to: production of new products; development of new markets; growth of labour productivity; use of new raw materials. In economically developed countries, the investment process depends on the impact of market conditions, sources and size of investment financing. Attracting investments in any form contributes to the development of the economy. Value/originality. Profit is considered, firstly, as the profit received as a result of production and sales of products or services; and secondly, income in the form of interest or dividends received from the acquisition/investment of securities. In the course of the study, the motivational content of profit as the main source of investment is considered. International experience shows: the volume of foreign investment entering the country’s economy determines its integration into the world community.
Materialización de la norma. Citas y reiteraciones en la colección Juan Bautista Simoni
Authors: Arqueros Guadalupe
Published: August 2019

Este artículo retoma el concepto de norma desarrollado por Judith Butler y analiza la producción de sujetos generizados en fotografías, visualizando citas y parodias, lugares de eficacia, fallas y fracturas. Utilizando la noción de norma como forma de producción del estándar común, regulador de los fenómenos sociales y como medida de comparación y referencia del grupo consigo mismo. Teniendo en cuenta que no es externa al campo de su aplicación y no solo es responsable de originarlo, sino que confiere realidad. Su poder se origina en la cita y la reiteración. El análisis de la colección fotográfica Juan Bautista Simoni (Ca. 1900) nos permitirá ver cómo el campo de eficacia de las normas es el telón de fondo sobre el cual se recorta el género en sus dimensiones idealizadas y las maneras en que el dispositivo fotográfico funciona integrando un régimen sexual regulador. En este marco se explora el modo en que las imágenes han funcionado como construcciones discursivas de cuyo seno nacen sujetos que reiteran la regulación de lo masculino y lo femenino, como verdades naturales ahistóricas. Además, nos interesa reflexionar sobre cómo las fotografías cimentan identidades genéricas débilmente formadas humanizando y enmarcando los cuerpos en un régimen biopolítico que, aunque con pliegues y fracturas, resulta igualmente eficaz. El presente trabajo se encuadra en la tradición de los estudios de géneros, entendidos  como prácticas de crítica cultural; en tanto interpela los procesos de producción ideológica de signos en la presentación y representación de las imágenes.

ABSTRACTIn the music industry, record labels are divided into two. The first is the independent record label better known as the indie label, and the second is the major record label known as the major label. Major labels are known as a huge record labels in the music industry, while indie labels are associated with smaller industries. Indie labels, the distribution tends to be uneven and not in official distribution stores or through communities. Indie musicians do more publications through new media, especially social media. Few of the independent musicians is Yuvi and Briliyan, who are personnel from the band Humi Dumi. Social media is used, among others, Instagram and Twitter, facebook, spotify, Youtube, and soundcloud. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze perception of the folk musicians in independent label about new media as a communication medium. This study is a qualitative study using the case study method.

A Matter of Time: Variations in High School Course-Taking by Years-as-EL Subgroup
Authors: Johnson Angela
Published: August 2019

English learners (ELs) lag behind their peers in academic achievement and attainment, partly due to limited exposure to academic content. Prior studies that examine high school course-taking find significant course access gaps between ELs and non-ELs but provide little information on the relation between course-taking and time spent as an EL. This study improves upon previous research by addressing this dimension of heterogeneity and reporting detailed by-subject analyses. I use student-level data (N = 41,343) from a unique district in California with a large number of Chinese and Spanish ELs. I find substantial heterogeneity in general and advanced course-taking based on time spent as an EL. But differences disappear once eighth grade test scores are taken into consideration.
PROBLEMATIKA EPISTEMOLOGIS TENTANG VISI, MISI, DAN TUJUAN PENDIDIKAN ISLAM
Authors: Rijal Syamsul
Published: August 2019

The hegemonic challenges of Western globalization have caused serious impacts on the future of Islamic education. This reality must be realized by Muslims and more specifically those involved in the world of education. For this reason, there is an anticipatory and alternative tactical and strategic step to free themselves from the hegemonic grip of Western globalization. The conception of Islamic model education does not only see education as an attempt to "educate" only (intellectual education, intelligence), but in line with the Islamic concept of human beings and their essence of existence. Therefore, the formulation of the vision, mission and objectives of Islamic education is expected to be more problematic, strategic, anticipatory, touch the application aspects and can touch the needs of the community or use of graduates. That is, Islamic education seeks to build people and society as a whole and thoroughly (insan kamil) in all aspects of a cultured and civilized life that is reflected in the lives of pious and faithful people, democratic and independent, knowledgeable, skilled, work ethic and professional, pious charity, personality, graceful morality and moral character, capable of innovation and access to change and competitive and cooperative abilities in the global era and local thinking in obtaining world welfare and the hereafter.
AGAMA DAN POLITIK DALAM BINGKAI HISTORIS PERKEMBANGAN PEMIKIRAN ISLAM
Authors: Ghoffar Abd.
Published: August 2019

The tug of war regarding the perception of Islam whether as a series of religious teachings or also at the same time a part of the state system that regulates the political power of the state has actually exposed the surface as a central issue since the end of the nineteenth century and entered the early twentieth century. This perception of Islam is very significant for the development of religious and political discourses which until now are still being discussed. From the discussion of this topic also was born a series of intellectual figures who had filled out the history sheet and carved gold ink through their ideas or concepts about religion and the state that reached the processor of our brain today. Through them we can transfer thoughts so that trans ideas occur. The discussion that is oriented towards Muslim intellectual thinking is very useful for us in order to reformulate our perceptions of religion and politics in order to be more applicable in Islamic and state-of-the-art insight.

Ketertindasan Ganda Istri Korban KDRT
Authors: Iwamony Rachel
Published: August 2019

Kekerasan Dalam Rumah Tangga (KDRT) telah menjadi perhatian seluruh elemen masyarakat, baik di tingkat lokal, nasional maupun internasional. Meskipun demikian, praktik KDRT tidak hilang atau menurun. Praktik KDRT masih saja terjadi di banyak tempat, termasuk di salah satu wilayah pelayanan Gereja Protestan Maluku (GPM), yaitu di Jemaat GPM Benteng Karang. Korbannya adalah para isteri, dan pelaku adalah suami. Perilaku masyarakat tidak berpihak kepada para isteri. Karena itu, ketika terjadi KDRT, tidak ada orang yang dapat melindungi para isteri yang menjadi korban, termasuk saudara laki-laki dari para korban KDRT tersebut. Ironisnya, KDRT terjadi di dalam masyarakat yang secara budaya, sangat menghormati perempuan. Oleh karena itu, dapat dikatakan bahwa telah terjadi deviasi budaya dalam hidup masyarakat di Jemaat GPM Benteng Karang. Menghadapi realitas demikian, penulis menegaskan bahwa perlu transformasi perspektif, tidak saja bagi para suami, tetapi juga masyarakat secara utuh. Tulisan ini menjadi salah satu bab dari buku Keadilan dan Perdamaian yang diterbitkan oleh M21.

Awam Sebagai Subyek Bergereja
Authors: Iwamony Rachel
Published: August 2019

Dalam kehidupan bergereja, warga gereja menjadi bagian penting dalam pelaksanaan tugas kesaksian, pelayanan dan persekutuan. Namun dalam praktik bergereja dewasa ini, warga gereja cenderung terpinggirkan. Para pelayan, lebih khusus pendeta menempati posisi sentral. Tidak saja dalam pengambilan keputusan-keputusan penting, tetapi juga dalam orientasi pelayanan gereja. Keterlibatan dalam pelaksanaan aktifitas dan program yang digagas oleh gereja dipandang sebagai aktifitas pelayanan. Sebaliknya, pelaksanaan tugas-tugas di luar aktifitas dan program gereja tidak dikategorikan sebagai pelayanan. Akibatnya, warga gereja tidak melihat pekerjaan mereka di kantor, di sekolah, bahkan kehidupan di dalam keluarga sebagai realisasi dari panggilan pelayanan, kesaksian dan persekutuan. Keadaan ini menciptakan dualisme dalam kehidupan bergereja, yaitu wilayah gereja dan wilayah duniawi. Dengan memberikan argumentasi bahwa warga gereja melaksanakan tugas kesaksian, pelayanan dan persekutuan di manapun mereka beraktifitas, tulisan ini mengimplementasikan perspektif postkolonial dalam mengarahkan kehidupan bergereja. Dengan demikian, tulisan ini menjawab maksud buku Gereja Orang Merdeka: Eklesiologi Pascakolonial Indonesia, yang diterbitkan oleh Yayasan OASE INTIM. Artikel ini dapat ditemukan pada buku tersebut halaman 59 -78.

Published: August 2019

The research of exploring the Church History have not been many studies done in Indonesia. Though this field is related to the theology, especially the development of Christian Theology for centuries. One area of Church History that needs to be examined are the Christian Thought of the Church Fathers from first to third centuries. The field is often called “Patrology” which is the study of Church Fathers from first to third centuries. Who are they, what are the results of their work, why they have produced such theological thoughts, and what they thoughts are still influencing to the contemporary theologians in Indonesia?The main problem in this research is how does the perception of contemporary theologians in Indonesia to the Chruch Father’ s theological thoughts? Through a literature review of Soteriology, Christology, and Eschatology, then this research has yielded important principles concerning to the Church Fathers’s theological thoughts at the Early Church period. And then through the field research has proven that the majority of contemporary theologians in Indonesia have a positive perception to the Church Fathers’s theological thought from first to the third centuries. Therefore, the reasons of why this research is conducted and how it is done are described in the first chapter of these book. The second chapter of this writing contains a literature review of the theological thoughts of the church fathers from the first century to the third. There are four groups of Church Fathers from the first century to the third. There are four groups of Church Fathers that are described in this chapter, i.e., The Apostolic Fathers (from the first to the middle of second century), The Aplogists (second century), The Anti-Gnostic Fathers (second and third century), and The Alexandrian Fathers (third century). The third chapter discusses the quantitative methods used in this research including statistical models to prove the validity and reliability of the data acquisition method that is used in the field of this research. It desperately needs accuracy and diligence in order to display a quality and useful research reports for the development of Church History studies. Discussion of the results of this study, along with the evidence that reinforces the result of this research is presented in the fourth chapter. Finally, the fifth chapter of this study elaborates the main thoughts that are generated in this study, which also expected to be important principles in conducting futher research.The results obtained in this study are not yet maximal on account of various constraints, such as limited time, facilities, funding, and so forth. However, the writer wishes that the results achieved in this study will give a valuable contribution to all readers of this writing and that it will be a motivation for a further research in the field of Church History in the future.
Measuring Trial-wise Choice Difficulty in Multi-feature Reinforcement Learning
Authors: Hitchcock Peter , Niv Yael , Radulescu Angela , Rothstein Nina Jill , Sims Chris R.
Published: August 2019

Real world reinforcement learning (RL) requires learning about stimuli composed of multiple features, only some of which are relevant to reinforcement. We investigated RL in a multi-feature task known as the Dimensions Task. Past work developed a computational model of this task, where the expected value of a stimulus comprises weights assigned to the stimulus’s features, hence the weights estimate the importance of each feature. We studies these weights and how they relate to human behavior. We found a sparse subset of features accrued much weight, and just 2 of 9 features exerted a significant influence on reaction time (RT), suggesting this pair of features mostly influences choice. These findings clarify that the Dimensions Task requires selectively attending to just a sparse subset of features while ignoring numerous irrelevant features, emphasizing its distinction from other recent multi-feature RL tasks that either require attending to all features or learning to treat feature conjunctions as objects. We next examined whether we could use the feature weights to develop a trial-wise marker of choice difficulty that related to individual differences. We found that high (vs. low) performing participants were better able to calibrate their responses based on variation in the standard deviation (SD) of the 2 features influencing RT. This suggests better-performing participants may be more responsive to the difference between the features. We discuss how this measure of trial-wise choice difficulty could be applied in experimental and translational research.
Community structure and regeneration pattern of Abies spectabilis in Sagarmatha National Park, Central Himalaya, Nepal
Authors: Nagarkoti A. B. , Pathak M. L. , Pandey B. , Devkota A.
Published: August 2019

Community structure and regeneration pattern of Abies spectabilis was studied along the elevation gradient from 2750 to 3550 m asl in mixed forest of A. spectabilisin Sagarmatha National Park, eastern Nepal. Various community attributes (viz. importance percentage, species diversity and beta diversity) and population characteristics (e. g. density- diameter, bar diagram) were analysed. Out of the thirty four species recorded from the study forest, A. spectabilis was the co-dominant species with high species diversity. Total tree density was the highest at 3450 m and the lowest at 3550 m. Elevation appeared to be the important environmental factor that affects the community attributes of the study forest. The curve for A . spectabilis solely was lightly deviated from the typical reverse J-shaped which indicates a discontinuous regeneration pattern. The distribution of the seedling and sapling distribution was not uniform. Seedling mortality was found relatively medium and development of seedlings into saplings was also low. The lower number of sapling might be due to moderate disturbance (grazing and trampling) by livestock or due to environmental factors. The use of Abies tree for construction and firewood might be the reason of un sustainability.
Making sense of conservation behaviours in Mustang, Nepal
Authors: França C. S. S. , Kyei E. O. , Aragundi G. S. , Rutt R. L.
Published: August 2019

Integrated Conservation and Development Projects (ICDPs) have been undertaken in many countries due to expectations of their supporting both natural resource sustainability and livelihoods. However, they have been challenged by critics over the years, who claim that conservation goals take precedence over local development in practice, thereby worsening the vulnerability of resource-dependent people. Nonetheless, one ICDP implemented in Nepal, the Annapurna Conservation Area Project (ACAP), has been largely regarded by researchers and practitioners as an ICDP success case. Under the authority of a conservation-oriented NGO, ACAP, the ICDP engages local communities participatory for resource management. One community within ACAP has been found to have a substantial timber surplus that satisfies conservation goals, but could also become a sizeable and sustainable source of income for local development. We interrogate the rules and practices of timber management in this community to explore the why behind this practice, discussing how modes of environmental governance aimed at producing behaviors to manage natural resources in particular ways (‘environmentalists’) feature in the seemingly conservation-oriented de jure rules and de facto practices and in authority relations in and around the community.

The collection technique uses interview, observation and documentation methods. The results of the study that batik entrepreneurs in Banyurip village had carried out marketing mix marketing strategies, they made various batik products, with cash and tempo prices, distribution by coming to the market, batik shops, shipping packages, and through Loper and resellers, market coverage from the city, outside the city to outside Java and even abroad, most of them use direct selling promotions, and utilize social media technology. Batik entrepreneurs in general as much as 75% have applied the principles of sharia marketing mix. The 25% have not perfectly implemented sharia principles with those who still use the services of interest-based financial institutions for production capital, in addition there are still entrepreneurs who dispose of batik waste water directly. The strength possessed by entrepreneurs produce batik products with various types, motivations and patterns, the weakness is capital and less competent workforce, the opportunity is to maximize technology and maintain trust, while the threat is raw materials which tend to rise but selling prices lower and more competition.
Fixation de l’arthrodèse métatarsophalangienne du premier rayon à l’aide d’une agrafe à mémoire de forme : résultats et complications à propos d’une série continue de 45 pieds opérés
Authors: Hammel E. , Younan M. , Mériane Y. , Diallo M.M.
Published: August 2019

L’arthrodèse de l’articulation métatarsophalangienne du premier rayon (MTP1) est une solution éprouvée en cas d’altération importante de la MTP1. Différentes techniques sont utilisées. L’objectif de cette étude prospective était d’évaluer les résultats d’une ostéosynthèse fondée sur le recours à une agrafe à mémoire, associée à un dispositif oblique de type vissage ou broche. Quarante-cinq pieds ont été opérés pendant 48 mois. Le matériel utilisé était une agrafe en alliage titane-nickel et une vis de Scarf ou bien une broche. La décharge postopératoire d’avant-pied était de 45 jours. L’étude du score moyen AOFAS a retrouvé un bon résultat sans aucun cas de douleur MPT1 ni de mobilité résiduelle. La fusion radiologique complète a été retrouvée dans 95,5 % des cas, il y a eu deux cas (4,5 %) de pseudarthroses serrées, indolores sans réintervention. Le choix d’utiliser des agrafes à mémoire de forme pour cette arthrodèse repose sur trois raisons : le faible encombrement du matériel, la facilité de pose et surtout la mise en compression du site par l’effet de la mémoire de forme. Le choix de mettre l’agrafe en position dorsale repose sur deux raisons : la résistance maximale de l’agrafe dans le plan défini par ses deux pattes et les contraintes maximales s’exerçant sur la MTP1 dans le plan de la flexion–extension, l’arthrodèse fixée en extension MTP1 met l’agrafe qui est en position dorsale et en zone concave à distance des tendons et plan cutané. Les séries les plus récentes de la littérature montrent des taux de fusion qui sont très proches quel que soit le mode d’ostéosynthèse (90 à 96 %). L’arthrodèse pour hallux valgus majeur a le taux de pseudarthrose le plus élevé, à 14,3 %. L’arthrodèse fusionne mieux en cas de polyarthrite rhumatoïde qu’en cas d’arthrose simple et mieux en cas d’arthrose qu’en cas de reprise. Dans une méta-analyse de 2 656 cas d’arthrodèses MTP1, toutes étiologies confondues, le taux de pseudarthrose global était de 5,4 %. L’arthrodèse MTP1 avec utilisation systématique d’une agrafe à mémoire de forme donne des résultats aussi bons que ceux des autres techniques publiées. L’utilisation d’une seule agrafe, contre deux pour les autres séries publiées, ne change pas les résultats sur la fusion de l’arthrodèse.
Heritage Tourism and Neoliberal Pilgrimages
Authors: Yadav Smita
Published: August 2019

Sites of pilgrimage and heritage tourism are often sites of social inequality and volatility that are impaired by hostilities between historical, ethnic, and competing religious discourses of morality, personhood, and culture, as well as between imaginaries of nationalism and citizenship. Often these pilgrim sites are much older in national and global history than the actual sovereign nation-state in which they are located. Pertinent issues to do with finance—such as regimes of taxation, livelihoods, and the wealth of regional and national economies—underscore these sites of worship. The articles in this special issue engage with prolix travel arrangement, accommodation, and other aspects of heritage tourism in order to understand how intangible aspects of such tourism proceed. But they also relate back to when and how these modern infrastructures transformed the pilgrimage and explore what the emerging discourses and practices were that gave newer meanings to neoliberal pilgrimages. The different case studies presented in this issue analyze the impact of these journeys on the pilgrims’ own subjectivities—especially with regard to the holy sites being situated in their imaginations of historical continuity and discontinuity and with regard to their transformative experiences of worship—using both modern and traditional infrastructures.
Sacred Journeys
Authors: Taha Shadia
Published: August 2019

Pilgrimage has been performed by members of all religions, and all beliefs, from prehistoric times to the present. The visitation of religious and sacred sites represents a significant economic resource for many faith establishments and organizations. In this article, I will explore the Muslim Hajj to Mecca as a case study. The study is based on ethnographic research using interviews and observation. The economic impact of pilgrims is a multifaceted and complex subject. Pilgrims spend money on transport, accommodation, and other services; hence, they contribute to the economy of the host state. My research suggests that there is a particular type of relationship between the economic and the spiritual aspects of pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia.
The Labor of and Labor in Post-Medjugorje Slideshows

Why do post-pilgrimage slideshows help Transylvanian Hungarian Catholics perform domestic devotional labor? There is growing interest in breaking open pilgrimage research, and scholars have recently begun studying rituals of return—including pilgrims’ practice of using photographs to narrate their journeys after returning home. I contribute to this effort by sketching out the general characteristics of Transylvanian Hungarian Catholics’ post-pilgrimage slideshows about the Medjugorje shrine. I then give a detailed description of an exemplary case: a married couple’s presentation for their children gathered around the family computer. Although we might expect pilgrims to routinize stories and images from a chaotic journey, many slideshows were quite disorganized and impressionistic. This disorganization helped travelers tailor their stories to the diverse spiritual interests of guests in a changing Transylvanian Hungarian Catholic religious landscape. Family members’ conversations also dramatized how neoliberalism in Romania has emerged alongside new global pilgrimage sites like Medjugorje. Medjugorje appeals to pilgrims because it is a privileged site for advertising national wares on the global market.

The article active methodology: From the text to the context - A possible approach - consists of a bibliographic essay that relates didactic procedures denominated of active methodologies with the epistemological principles of the main progressive pedagogical tendencies, giving them theoretical and scientific support and constituting like a methodological didactic alternative capable of satisfying the peculiarities of the current social context and pedagogical relations that values the student and places it at the center of the process of teaching and learning meaningful .. The study searches in the studies of authors that resort to the basic assumptions of the New School Movement (From the late nineteenth century and early twentieth century) and from Vygotsky's Theories (1896-1934), Dewey (1859-1952), Ausubel (1918-2008) and Paulo Freire (1921-1997) and their association of principles in active methodologies as well as technically sound didactic procedures that can be pedagogical practices.

Epilepsy is characterized by the presence of recurrent seizures. A seizure can be defined as “an episodic disturbance of movement, feeling, or consciousness caused by sudden synchronous, inappropriate, and excessive electrical discharges in the cerebral cortex”. One in every three patients with epilepsy is probable to be severely disabled. It is continuing this scenario as an attempt to develop potent and nontoxic anti-convulsant agents. Recently the discovery of benzothiazepine derivatives as an anticonvulsant agent is a significant area for research in medicinal chemistry as it is free from all side effects which is shown by a developed as an anticonvulsant agent. In this paper, we have presented results of 2D, and 3D docking poses studies of a series of 300 (Three series) molecules containing 1,5-benzothiazepine pharmacophore as anti-convulsant agents. Docking analysis was utilized to predict the mechanism of action of the designed derivatives for anticonvulsant potential. All the molecules exhibited a binding score in the range of -82.61 to - 118.25 kcal/mol. Most active molecules from Series 1, 2 and 3 exhibited hydrogen bond interactions with LEU282B, LEU282B and LEU282B. Also for the selected standard sodium phenytoin showed the hydrogen bond interaction with LYS637A. It was noted that the docking score of 1a to 10a, 101b to 110b and 201c to 210c was almost the same as that of selected standard sodium phenytoin. The protein showed hydrogen bonding with all synthesized compound showed potential against epilepsy with GABA nergic mechanism.

The aim – to compare the anthropometric parameters and body tissue compartments of patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) and reduced left ventricular ejection fraction depending on weight loss ≥ 6 % of total body weight within the previous 6 months.Materials and methods. 77 stable patients with chronic heart failure 25–75 years old, NYHA class II–IV, with left ventricular ejection fraction ≤ 35 % were screened. The criterion for the patients group distribution was the weight loss in the last 6 months ≥ 6 % according to the European guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of CHF. Body composition was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Patients were included in a clinical compensation phase.Results and discussion. Weight loss ≥ 6 % within the previous 6 months was observed in 34 (44.2 %) patients. Patients with weight loss ≥ 6 % had a significantly smaller fat tissue mass (p=0.002) and lean tissues mass (p=0.039), which was confirmed by comparing the normalized indicators of these tissue arrays relative to growth. The limb muscle mass (p=0.006) and the limb muscle mass index (p=0.002) were significantly less in this group of patients. The number of lost kilograms over the past 6 months correlated inversely with the muscle mass index of limbs (r=–0.411, p=0.001), body weight (r=–0.381, p=0.001), muscle mass of limbs (r=–0.360, p=0.001), hip circumference (r=–0.352, p=0.002), body surface area (r=–0.345, p=0.009), waist circumference (r=–0.334, p=0.003), body mass index (r=–0.330, p=0.004), shoulder arm circumference (r=–0.280, p=0.015), lean tissue mass (r=–0.277, p=0.015), skin-fat fold thickness under the scapula (r=–0.273, p=0.018), fat mass tissue (r=–0.269, p=0.018), the circumference of tense arm (r=–0.262, p=0.023), the ratio of fat tissue to height (r=–0.253, p=0.026), the fat tissue index (r=–0.233, p=0.042), and correlated positively with the percentage of bone tissues (r=0.250, p=0.028).Conclusions. Weight loss ≥ 6 % over the past 6 months in patients with CHF and reduced ventricular ejection fraction was observed in 34 (44.2 %) patients. Patients with CHF and weight loss ≥ 6 % were significantly older, had a higher NYHA class, lower body weight, body mass index, shoulder circumference of a tense and relaxed arm, waist and hip circumferences, thickness skin and fat folds over the biceps, triceps and under the scapula. Patients with a body weight loss of ≥ 6 % over the past 6 months had a significantly lower percentage of fat tissue, fat mass and lean tissue mass, indexes of fat mass and muscular tissue of limbs. Patients in groups did not differ in terms of mineral bone mass.
