Arabic Authorship Attribution Using Synthetic Minority Over-Sampling Technique and Principal Components Analysis for Imbalanced Documents
Authors: Hadjadj Hassina , Sayoud Halim
Published: July 2021

Nowadays, dealing with imbalanced data represents a great challenge in data mining as well as in machine learning task. In this investigation, we are interested in the problem of class imbalance in Authorship Attribution (AA) task, with specific application on Arabic text data. This article proposes a new hybrid approach based on Principal Components Analysis (PCA) and Synthetic Minority Over-sampling Technique (SMOTE), which considerably improve the performances of authorship attribution on imbalanced data. The used dataset contains 7 Arabic books written by 7 different scholars, which are segmented into text segments of the same size, with an average length of 2900 words per text. The obtained results of our experiments show that the proposed approach using the SMO-SVM classifier, presents high performance in terms of authorship attribution accuracy (100%), especially with starting character-bigrams. In addition, the proposed method appears quite interesting by improving the AA performances in imbalanced datasets, mainly with function words.

In addition to the membrane-bound molecule, soluble CD154 (sCD154) is also detected at high levels in the medium of activated T cells and platelets and in the serum of patients suffering from different inflammatory diseases. This sCD154 is the result of cleavage of the full-length molecule between the glutamic acid residue at position 112 (E112) and methionine at position 113 (M113) and can be derived from the intracellular milieu and from cleavage of cell surface molecules. We have recently reported that substitution of both E112 and M113 by alanine inhibits intracellular and CD40-induced membrane cleavage of CD154 and procures to CD154 an increased biological function as compared with cleavable CD154. Thus, in this study, and in the aim of developing tools inhibiting cleavage of CD154 from the cell surface, we generated a panel of anti-human CD154 mAbs. One of the derived mAbs that did not alter the binding of sCD154 to CD40, named in this study Clone 8 mAb, totally lost its binding activity against cells expressing CD154 mutated at its E112 and M113 residues. Treatment with Clone 8 mAb was shown to completely abolish CD40-dependent and -independent cleavage of CD154 from the cell surface. Our study is highlighting the development and characterization of an innovative therapeutic tool capable of inhibiting the release/cleavage of CD154 from cells and thus maintaining its availability on the cell surface and the high probably of increasing its potency as an activator of CD40-induced responses.

Published: July 2021

Rosai – Dorfman disease is a disorder of histiocytic proliferation that can affect almost every organ. Skin may be involved in about 10% cases, but only 3% of patients have skin lesions exclusively. Patients with CRDD usually are healthy, without leading constitutional or other symptoms. Etiology of this disease is unclear, but it might be triggered by an infectious agent such as Herpesvirus 6 and Epstein-Barr virus, there is also predisposition to autoimmune diseases, hematological malignancies. In our case patient was diagnosed with Borrelia burgdorferi infection. Any known association between this infection and Rosai – Dorfman disease was not described before. The disease may manifest in any age group. The differential diagnosis includes Langerhans cell histiocytosis, metastasis, Hodgkin’s lymphoma and other diseases. Disease usually resolves spontaneously over a period of months to years. Treatment should be administered in non-responsive or multiple relapsing cases. Also, it is very important to take into consideration the patient’s expectations and aesthetic appearance before making a treatment decision. Various treatment options are described, including surgical excision, cryotherapy, corticosteroids, antibiotics, Methotrexate, Dapsone. In our case, we used CO2 laser treatment successfully. To our knowledge, this is only the second case where CRDD lesions were treated successfully with CO2 laser.

Published: July 2021

Introduction:

Blistering or vesiculobullous disorders in pediatric population are either immunobullous or mechanobullous. Spectrum was analyzed using demographic details, clinical features, histopathology, direct immunofluorescence (DIF) and Immunofluorescence mapping (IFM).

Methodology:

This was a single institution based observational study in children below 18 years. The demographic details were collected using proforma containing particulars of the patient, history, complaints, and other parameters. Punch biopsy of the skin lesion was done. Biopsy samples were examined under light microscope followed by DIF using fluorescent conjugated polyclonal antibody against immunoglobulins IgG, IgM, IgA, and complement C3. The salt-split technique was also used in particular cases. IFM was done using anticytokeratin (CK) 5 & 14, antilaminin 332, anticollagen VII, and anticollagen IV antibodies.

Results:

Out of total 50 cases, linear IgA bullous dermatosis (LABD) was the commonest. The average concordance between clinical and final diagnosis (histopathological examination + DIF) was 87.5% and discordance was 12.5%. The agreement between histopathological examination and DIF was found to be substantially significant (κ = 0.6892). IFM depicted epidermolysis bullosa simplex with reduced CK 14 expression, dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa with reduced Collagen VII expression and junctional epidermolysis bullosa with absent laminin 5 expression.

Conclusion:

The spectrum of bullous lesions in childhood was properly delineated and subcategorization of EB was done. Histopathological examination showed the hallmarks that were conclusive in most of the cases except in LABD and EB. DIF and IFM proved indispensable in those cases. Thus, DIF is not a substitute for histopathology but complementary to it.

Authors: Srivastava Pallavi , Husain Nuzhat , Shukla Saumya , Chauhan Smita , Pandey Anshuman , Masood Shakeel
Published: July 2021

Context:

Programmed cell death ligand-1 (PD-L1) is the key inhibitor of the cytotoxic immune response thus causing progression of tumors and adverse prognosis in many malignancies.

Objective:

The current study investigates PD-L1 expression in colorectal carcinoma and its correlation with clinicopathological parameters, microsatellite instability, and BRAF mutation

. Material and Methods:

110 cases of colorectal carcinoma were evaluated for PD-L1 expression using SP263 clone in tissue microarray. Clinico-pathological characteristics and survival data were correlated with PD-L1 expression analyzed at different cut-offs of ≥1%, ≥10% and ≥50% in tumor cells and tumor infiltrating lymphocytes along with its correlation with BRAF expression and microsatellite instability status in these cases.

Results:

Mean age was 49 years with male to female ratio of 1.5:1. 52.7% cases presented with stage 3/4 disease and 14.7% with >10 cm tumor size. Tumor cells expressed PD-L1 in 40% and TILs in 45.4% cases at a cut off of ≥1% was 17.3%, at ≥10% was 15.5% and at ≥50% was 7.3%. Significant association was seen between tumor proportion score (TPS) and increasing age, histological type, histological grade, tumor size, higher T stage (p = 0.03), TILs (p = 0.04), lymph vascular invasion, and perineural invasion. PDL-1 correlated with BRAF expression and microsatellite instability (MLH-1/PMS-2 expression loss). The overall survival was significantly higher (p < 0.001) with negative PDL1 expression in cases of colorectal carcinoma.

Conclusions:

Immunotherapy may be used as potential therapeutic option in colorectal carcinoma cases showing microsatellite instability and BRAF mutations which show poor response to conventional chemotherapy regimen and anti-EGFR therapy.

Published: July 2021

Aim:

The present study evaluates the prognostic significance of perineural invasion (PNI) on 2-year, 5-year, and overall survival in patients undergoing gastrectomy and D2 lymphadenectomy due to locally advanced gastric cancer.

Materials and Methods:

Included in the study were 231 patients who underwent surgery between November 2006 and October 2018 due to stage 1B and over locally advanced gastric cancer, whose records were reviewed retrospectively.

Statistical Analysis:

The variables in the presence or absence of PNI were compared between the two groups with a Chi-square test, a Fisher's exact test, a likelihood ratio, and a Mann–Whitney U test. Overall survival data were evaluated with a Kaplan–Meier test. Prognostic factors were evaluated with a stepwise Cox regression analysis.

Results:

PNI was identified in 167 (72.3%) of the patients. The 2-year, 5-year, and overall survival rates at the end of the follow-up period were 85.9%, 70.3%, and 64.1% in those without PNI, and 52.7%, 38.3%, and 36.5% in those with PNI, respectively. In a multivariate analysis, PNI appeared to be a significant prognostic factor for 2-year survival (P = 0.04) but had no effect on 5-year and overall survival.

Conclusions:

Survival was shorter in patients with PNI than in patients without PNI, and PNI had no effect on overall survival, although it was found to be of prognostic significance for 2-year survival.

Published: July 2021

Melanomas within the Central Nervous System (CNS) are most commonly metastatic lesions, with primary melanomas comprising only 0.05–0.07% of all brain tumors. We report three cases of primary CNS melanoma. The patients were young adults. There were two females and one male. On preoperative investigations, two cases were misdiagnosed to be angiomas on Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). The melanotic nature of the lesion was an intraoperative observation. Pathologic examination showed features of malignancy with invasion of tumor cells into the brain parenchyma. In two patients, presence of systemic lesions were ruled out after surgery by whole-body Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scan. These patients were subject to adjuvant radiotherapy, while one patient succumbed immediately post-surgery. Primary CNS melanomas are rare with no defined treatment protocols. Histopathology diagnosis is crucial to rule out pigmented mimics.

Published: July 2021

IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is an evolving entity characterized by immune mediated multisystem involvement in the form of fibro inflammatory lesions like sclerosing pancreatitis, dacryoadenitis, Reidel thyroiditis, or chronic sclerosing sialadenitis. Barely, the lesions are restricted to kidney (IgG4-RKD: IgG4-related kidney disease) involving either glomerular or extraglomerular compartment. It is challenging to identify and demands an awareness regarding the entity to reduce the number misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis. Here, we report a case of a 45-year-old woman with IgG4 tubulointerstitial nephritis (IgG4-TIN) who presented with unexplained renal dysfunction as her initial manifestation. This is the first case of IgG4-RKD reported from our tertiary care center among 1864 native renal biopsy in the last two years.

Published: July 2021

Purpose:

To identify parental perception of a take-back program for medications.

Materials and Methods:

A cross-sectional study using a questionnaire was conducted at Hamad Medical Corporation, the only tertiary pediatric hospital in the State of Qatar at the time of the study. Qatar is a rapidly developing country with limited national data on the awareness of medication misuse among adults living with children at home and on the safety practices regarding medication disposal.

Results:

305 questionnaires were completed (response rate = 90%). More than 80% of parents were in between 20 and 39 years of age, 70% of them were females, and 80% were college graduates. Approximately 90% of participants have immediate relatives who were taking medications for chronic diseases. Almost 60% of parents stated that they keep unused medications at home, whereas 10% were not aware of the fate of the left over medications. Approximately 95% of the parents dispose the expired medications. In terms of the mode of disposing the medications, 66% of caregivers dispose the medication bottle or package in the trash can, whereas 14% remove the medications from the bottles or packages and throw them in the trash, and 15% put them through the drain. When asked if participants read disposal measures in the medication pamphlet, only 10% answered “always,” whereas 26% answered “sometimes.” Participants were asked if they have heard of any medications take-back programs, 75% answered no, whereas 14% were not sure. However, almost 60% of them will use the take-back program if available and 18% were not sure.

Conclusion:

Parents residing in the State of Qatar have deficiencies in knowledge about medication disposal. Parent's attitudes and perceptions are considered indispensable targets for community health intervention. Our next step is to share our data with the ministry of health to spread awareness about the proper disposal of medicines and take-back programs in Qatar.

Published: July 2021

Hypothenar hammer syndrome (HHS) is a rare traumatic vascular disease, which is characterized by pain and cold insensitivity in the areas fed by ulnar artery. Computerized tomography angiography (CTA) is the gold standard for the accurate diagnosis of it. Less invasive tests that are used to make decisions regarding the application of angiography, which is an invasive imaging method, have been reported in the literature. In this study, an indocyanine green-enhanced near-infrared fluorescence imaging system is used for the diagnosis of a patient with HHS who was not properly diagnosed with CTA. Although CTA is still considered as the gold standard for the diagnosis of upper extremity vascular insufficiencies, indocyanine green-enhanced fluorescence imaging, being an easily applicable and lacking of radiation exposure, should be considered first before CTA.

Published: July 2021

In the aerospace industry, competition is high and the need to ensure safety and security while managing costs is paramount. Furthermore, stakeholders—who gain the most by working together—do not necessarily trust each other. Now, mix that with changing enterprise technologies, management of historical records, and customized legacy systems. This issue touches all aspects of the aerospace industry, from frequent flyer miles to aircraft maintenance and drives tremendous inefficiency and cost. Technology that augments, rather than replaces, is needed to transform these complex systems into efficient, digital processes. Blockchain technology offers collaborative opportunities for solving some of the data problems that have long challenged the industry. This SAE EDGE™ Research Report by Rhonda D. Walthall examines how blockchain technology could impact the aerospace industry and addresses some of the unsettled concerns surrounding its implementation.

Published: July 2021

Background: Limited data is available on the treatment outcomes of HIV infected adolescents and young adults (AYA) in sub-Saharan Africa. HIV-infected adolescents and young adults (AYA) are at high risk of developing antiretroviral treatment failure.

Objective: To determine the clinical, immunological and virologic outcomes of AYA at a tertiary hospital in Kenya.

Methodology: A longitudinal study was conducted among AYA age 10-24 years attending Kenyatta National Hospital comprehensive care center. Clinical data was abstracted from electronic medical records for study participants with at least 6 months of follow-up using a structured data abstraction sheet.

Results: A total of 250 AYA age 10 to 24 years were included. The median age was 16 years. The median CD4 cell count was 650.6 cells/mm3 (IQR 350.7-884.0). More than half (60.6%) of AYA had a CD4 cell count higher than 500 cells/mm3. Overall, 76.9% of AYA had achieved viral suppression (viral load <1000 copies/ml). There was a significant increase in virologic failure with higher age and late adolescents and young adults were more likely to have a viral load > 1000 copies/ ml p<0.012.

Conclusion: The overall virologic suppression in this cohort of AYA was sub-optimal. Both immunological and virologic outcomes were worse among late adolescents (18-19 years) and young adults (20-24 years).

Keywords: Adolescents; HIV; Kenya; virologic suppression; young adults.

The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has triggered an international pandemic that has led to significant public health problems. To date, limited evidence exists to suggest that drugs are effective against the disease. As possible treatments are being investigated, herbal medicines have shown potential for producing novel antiviral agents for the COVID-19 disease. Aim This review explored the potential of Malawi’s traditional medicinal plants for the management of COVID-19. MethodsThe authors searched on PubMed and Google scholar for medicinal plants that are used in Malawi and published in openly available peer reviewed journals. Plants linked with antiviral treatment, anti-COVID-19 activity or COVID-19 symptoms management were targeted. These included activity against pneumonia, inflammation, cough, difficulty in breathing, pain/aches, fever, diarrhoea, rheumatism, fatigue, asthma, immunocompromised and cardiovascular diseases.Results11 studies were found with 306 plant species. 127 plant species had at least one COVID-19 related pharmacological activity. Of these plant species, the number of herbal entities used for each indication was: pain/aches (87), fever (2), pneumonia (9), breathing/asthma problems (5), coughing (11), diarrhoea (1), immunosuppression (8), blood issues (10), fatigue (2), heart problems (11), inflammation (8), rheumatism (10) and viral diseases (12). Thirty (30) species were used for more than one disease and Azedarachta indica topped the list (6 of the 13 COVID-19 related diseases). The majority of the species had phytochemicals known to have antiviral activity or mechanisms of actions linked to COVID-19 and consequent diseases’ treatment pathways.ConclusionMedicinal plants are a promising source of compounds that can be used for drug development of COVID-19 related diseases. This review highlights potential targets for the World Health Organization and other research entities to explore in order to assist in controlling the pandemic.

NACIÓN, UN CONCEPTO OSCURECIDO POR EL NACIONALISMO Y EL MARKETING
Authors: Martínez Roda Federico
Published: July 2021

A partir del concepto de soberanía formulado por Bodino surgió la idea de la sustitución de la soberanía del monarca por soberanía de la nación que formuló Sieyès. El concepto de nación unido a la soberanía lo alteró Fichte, para quien la nación era previa al logro de la constitución de un Estado. Desde entonces, el nacionalismo, a partir de la construcción de una “identidad”, ha utilizado la palabra nación como lo hizo Fichte y se han propuesto definiciones de dicha palabra que han oscurecido el concepto, a pesar de que para la ONU y el Derecho Internacional es claro, la nación requiere población, territorio y Estado soberano. El artículo trata también de los tipos de Estado y, finalmente, analiza brevemente el actual panorama de los estudios sobre el nacionalismo, no por su interés filosófico-jurídico, pues en realidad vive de sus propios mitos, sino por ser “la más destructiva fuerza de nuestro tiempo”, en frase de I. Berlin, por lo que hay que entenderlo para evitar sus efectos nocivos en el pensamiento y en la vida política.
FUNDAMENTOS LEGALES DE LAS TÉCNICAS DE CONTROL POLÍTICO Y SOCIAL. EL CAPITALISMO DE VIGILANCIA EN LA ERA POST-COVID
Authors: Hernández Guerrero Francisco
Published: July 2021

La crisis sanitaria del SARS2-COVID ha traído a nuestra atención el conflicto permanente entre lo público y lo privado; entre los métodos de gestión abordados desde la perspectiva tecnológica sin concesiones a los derechos y libertades fundamentales, y las posiciones éticas que aún pretenden sostener su validez. Desde la aplicación de la tecnología en las mayores barbaries conocidas por la Humanidad hasta el día de hoy, el ser humano se debate entre mayor seguridad o más libertad. El problema es que el individuo, o las organizaciones y empresas que crea, han visto incrementada su capacidad de obrar gracias a la tecnología informática, y esta nueva situación ha dado lugar a la ruptura del pacto social originado por la Revolución Francesa, donde el monopolio del poder se atribuía al Estado a cambio de que éste se sometiera a la voluntad del pueblo expresada por medio de la ley. Hoy día, el individuo se ha vuelto más poderoso y el Estado se resiste a perder su papel. Entre esos dos polos navega la vida de miles de millones de personas, cuyas vidas se han vuelto transparentes a los ojos vigilantes de los Estados y de las grandes corporaciones empresariales.

SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS FOR PNEUMOCONIOSIS AND CYSTIC FIBROSIS IN THE YEAR 2019
Authors: Nery Telma , Hara Eric , Zago Sonia
Published: July 2021

Some pathologies generate the need for important social support. In Brazil, the federal constitution provides for social coverage and health care for the entire population. Social assistance, often made possible through social security benefits, can be provided by the National Institute of Social Service (INSS). Open data on these benefits with information on expanded data are available. We highlight here two groups of pathologies that have different profiles in Brazil, but which are often the subject of expert evaluation, due to their clinical characteristics and impact on patients' quality of life: Pneumoconiosis and Cystic Fibrosis. Objectives: to analyze benefits granted by the INSS in 2019 for Pneumoconiosis and Cystic Fibrosis. Methods: Open data were collected, with analysis in Excel® and SPSS, regarding gender, state, age, type of benefits and ICD 10. Results: 215 benefits were granted for Pneumoconiosis in 21 states, 45% were employed and 50% were granted as work-related. 121 benefits were granted for Cystic Fibrosis in the period. 10 states concentrate 83% of the benefits and 43% were granted to children up to 10 years of age and 9% to those over 51 years of age. Conclusions: Information from open social security data in Brazil can contribute to the regional expert analysis of pathologies characterized as incapacitating, in addition to contributing to the understanding of a change in the regional epidemiological profile of diseases, and enriching the structuring, more frequently providing epidemiological data to official bodies and the adoption of public policies.

The human system have an ability to adapt dynamically and protect against biological viruses is amazing. Computer security faces an ever-increasing threat and a system which can prevent any viruses coming in, is an open research problem. We propose a new model, called (RI Secure Web), whic h can be resilient and immune to web application vulnerability for injection and URL manipulation for injection methods using an agent based machine learning system The ability of human immune system to survive and maintain body from different damages and its self curing capabi lity inspires the development of a resilient and adaptive cyber security system. Such system functions proactive and defends itself against viruses as human immune system does. In this paper, an architectural view of a system for reducing application level vulnerabilities to protect cyber attacks, particularly injection method is proposed.

Authors: Deshpande Dr. Deepti , Mhatre Chandrakala Kaluram
Published: July 2021

Online platforms for education have affected a student’s life from different perspectives. It has broadly affected the student’s mental health as well as academic performance. The present study was undertaken to find out the impact of online education on mental health and academic performance of children of project-affected people studying at the undergraduate level in Navi Mumbai. The analysis of the data collected through Google questionnaire showed that students from project-affected families are facing difficulties in online learning due to most of the financial reasons as their financial condition does not allow them to get better digital devices and sufficient internet data and internet connectivity which affect their learning ability and lead to mental stress among the students which affect their academic performance. To overcome this problem, the government should initiate necessary provisions related to education in case of the project affected people.

The goal is to present a comparative analysis of statistical data on the indicators of the foreign trade turnover of the Russian Federation under the conditions of economic sanctions and anti-sanctions, as well as the results of expert assessments on the current import substitution policy. Design/methodology/approach – methods for comparing and grouping indicators that allow comprehensively and dynamically considering the state of Russia's foreign trade turnover, taking into account changes in the country and commodity aspects in the volume of exports and imports in the context of economic sanctions and a counter food embargo. Conclusions – the paper proves that the decline rate in foreign trade turnover in relation to the pre-sanctioned 2013 has slowed down, which indicates the relative adaptation of the Russian economy and the effectiveness of the anti-crisis measures taken. The main recommendations have been formulated that require the concentration of protective adaptation measures on the instruments of selective protectionism with free trade measures. Originality/significance – the paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the impact of economic sanctions on the volume and structure of Russia's foreign trade in the context of growing pressure on foreign trade in a gradual increase in sanctions, and this trend should be timely detected.

The present research aimed to access the significance of arterial hypertension risk factors and their relationships in the high-mountain villages of the Elbrus region (2100–3500 m above the sea level). For this, 260 patients were examined in total, 190 with arterial hypertension (hereinafter AH) of the 1, 2 and 3 degrees and 70 healthy individuals. Methods. All the participants underwent complex examination: echocardiography; assessment of nitric oxide (NO) metabolites in the blood; heart rate variability (HRV); blood plasma lipid spectrum. Microsoft Statistica v. 10.0.1 software package was used for statistical processing. Multiple regression equations reflected the dynamics of relationships of three or more parameters (significant differences at p <0.05). Results. AH patients showed a progressive decrease in NO, an increase in sympathetic and HRV indicators, in left ventricular (LV) myocardial mass and atherogenic plasma index. The dependence of HRV indicators, LV morphofunctional parameters, hemodynamics, plasma lipid profile on NO level was revealed. Decreased significance of modifiable risk factors and increased lesions of ‘target organs’ with the progression of arterial hypertension were found; this explains complexity of prevention and possible therapeutic strategies.

Sexual Harassment at workplace (SHW) is a global phenomenon. However, there has been no prior research on the association of SHW and subjective well-being (SWB) of working women in Pakistan. The SWB is an umbrella term that encompasses concepts such as satisfaction with life (SWL) and subjective happiness (SbH). The 200 working women from the public and private sector organizations in Pakistan were recruited randomly. The Sexual Harassment Experience Questionnaire, The Satisfaction with Life Scale, and Subjective Happiness Scale were administered as the main measures. The study met all the ethical considerations. The data was analyzed by the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences and expressed as baseline characteristics, correlation analysis and t tests. There was statistically significant negative relationship of SHW with SWL and SbH in working women. The young age, high school or less education, single marital status, and working in private sector organization were significantly associated with the increased and decreased experience of SHW and SWB respectively. The study recommended the adoption of anti SHW laws by the working sector and the periodic screening of working women for SWB so as to reduce the phenomenon of SHW and enhance the SWL and SbH in working women.

LIMITS OF TOLERANCE: LEGAL RELATIONS BETWEEN EARLY OTTOMAN JEWS AND CENTRAL AUTHORITIES (15th -18th Centuries)
Authors: DOGAN Nejla
Published: July 2021

Many years ago, before they were expelled from Europe, thousands of Jews being exposed to oppression and persecution in many parts of the world in the 15th century migrated to Turkish lands where they could live more forgivingly and at a higher welfare level as well as the Jews who were living in the Ottoman lands freely, and thereby, they attained a significant place within the non-Muslim population. The emperorship consisting of several communities tried to achieve its sovereignty with the millet system. In other words, keeping the Muslims separate from non-Muslims as they were millet-i hakime (dominating nation) had been adopted as the fundamental mission. Therefore, there were some regulations and rules that would differentiate them from each other in the social sphere and daily life. The Jews were also included in these restrictions. It is quite difficult to clearly mark off legal rights granted, and tolerances shown to the Jews, but this study based upon imperial council books (muhimme books) provided an opportunity to make a general evaluation on legal rights and powers of Jewish national subject. The most important regulation that draws attention in the books has been concerning the clothing. Besides, the imperial orders on residential-religious settlements and cemeteries were also given by the central administration. It was reflected in the books that the Jews were detracted from certain administrative ranks as well as that the Jews were restrained from keeping slaves. However, these regulations contained neither a derogatory badge and an oppressive and persecutory settlement policy nor any trade restrictions as they were subjected in Europe. They were not factionalized by society and even, they played an active role in some economic activities. Based on the clauses (in Turkish hüküm) reflected in the books, it can be said that the main goal of the central administration was to prevent the Jews from resembling Muslims, and this was not a situation only specific to Jews. In this study where the main goals of the state for imposing the restrictions and the underlying reasons for not making severe regulations were discussed, it was tried to address the legal relations between the Jews and the central government.

As a consequence of the intensive economic use of oak forests in the region, the share of stands of natural origin is significantly reduced, which requires an in-depth study of their condition, productivity, and natural restoration processes. The purpose of this study is to investigate the state, structure, and reforestation processes of oak forests for their further natural reproduction. Generally accepted methods in forestry and comparative ecology were used to compare the dynamics and condition of the studied stands with the reference ones. The paper presents the findings of the study of the productivity and state of natural forests within the state enterprise “Khmilnytske lisove hospodarstvo”. It was found out that natural oak stands are represented by 7 forest types, mainly in fresh hornbeam oak forest (area – 471 hectares). According to the results obtained, it was found that natural oak stands of vegetative origin predominate within the studied enterprise (528.6 ha). They are mainly represented by forests of the 11th age class (188.0 ha). High-bonitat oak forests of the 1st quality class predominate. Mature and over-mature stands have slightly lower productivity (2nd quality class, stand density of 0.6-0.7). The largest total reserve is characterised by stands of the 11th age class. The maximum average reserves are typical for stands of the 9th age class (290 m3 /ha). The greatest share of oak in stand composition (9-10 units) was found in stands of 9-10 age classes. The study shows that the natural renewal of oak is concentrated mainly in fresh sudubrava (fresh hornbeam sudubrava) in plantings in the presence of Scots pine and common oak. The density of natural renewal is 1-3 thousand units/ha. The practical value of the study is conditioned by the possibility of introducing the basic principles of forestry aimed at growing stable high-yield stands of common oak through more complete utilisation of natural renewal
