Authors: Octaberlina Like Raskova , Asrifan Andi
Published: January 2021

The objective of this article was to find out whether or not using Text-based Character in Teaching Reading Comprehension.In this research, the researcher applied quasi experimental method using two groups namely an experimental and a control group. The population was the first-year students of SMA Negeri 4 Sidenreng Rappang in academic year 2019/2020. The total population is about 60 students. The sample of this research is selected by using cluster sampling techniques which is divided into two groups namely an experimental group and control one. The instrument was intended to measure the students’ achievement of language skill particularly reading skill. The model of reading test is a objective test. Based on the reseach result, the researcher found that the mean score of pretest of experimental group was 72.67, it was classified into good classification and the mean score of students ’pretest of control group was 69.63, it was classified into good classification. After doing treatments, the result shows that the mean scores of both experimental and control group were different. The mean score of posttest for experimental group was 82.43 which was classified into very good classification and the mean score of control group was 76.53 which was classified into good classification. In other hand, the researcher found that the T-table is higher than t-test (α) (1.659<2.021). It means that there is significant difference in pretest of control and experimental group, while in posttest of experimental and control group, the researcher find that the T-test is higher than alpha and previous score in pre-test (α) (3.089>2.021).The degree of freedom is 58.It means that there is significant difference in posttest. It indicates that the alternative hypothesis (H1) was accepted and the null hypothesis (H0) was rejected. It can be concluded that the use of Text-based Character improves students' reading skill.
SLC7A4 is a differentially expressed gene in brain metastatic human breast cancer.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: January 2021

Metastasis to the brain is a clinical problem in patients with breast cancer (1-3). We mined published microarray data (4, 5) to compare primary and metastatic tumor transcriptomes for the discovery of genes associated with brain metastasis in humans with metastatic breast cancer. We found that the solute carrier family 7 member 4, encoded by SLC7A4, was among the genes whose expression was most different in the brain metastases of patients with metastatic breast cancer as compared to primary tumors of the breast. SLC7A4 mRNA was present at increased quantities in brain metastatic tissues as compared to primary tumors of the breast. Importantly, expression of SLC7A4 in primary tumors was significantly correlated with patient recurrence-free survival. Modulation of SLC7A4 expression may be relevant to the biology by which tumor cells metastasize from the breast to the brain in humans with metastatic breast cancer.

A Single Detector Versus an Array of Detectors Receiver in Free-Space Optical Communications: A Performance Comparison
Authors: Bashir Muhammad Salman , Tsai Ming-Cheng , Alouini Mohamed-Slim
Published: January 2021

Free-space optical (FSO) communications is an important technology that will be used for supporting high data-rates in the backhaul of next generation of wireless communication networks. In this paper, we have comparedthe probability of error performance of two types of receivers used in FSO today: a receiver based on a single detector, and a receiver based on an array of detectors. The performance of these two receivers is compared for a number of fusion algorithms for an array of detectors such as equal gain combiner (EGC), selection combiner(SC), switched combiner (SWC) and the maximal ratio combiner (MRC). From this study, we conclude that even though the array of detectors adds more noise in the sufficient statistic by virtue of large number of detectors,using more computationally expensive fusion algorithms (such as SC and MRC) can help us achieve a superior probability of error performance as opposed to a single-detector receiver for practical channel conditions.

Small effects: The indispensable foundation for a cumulative psychological science
Authors: Götz Friedrich Martin , Gosling Samuel D. , Rentfrow Jason
Published: January 2021

We draw on genetics research to argue that complex psychological phenomena are most likely determined by a multitude of causes, with any individual cause likely to have only a small effect. Building upon this, we highlight the dangers of a publication culture that continues to demand large effects: First, it rewards inflated effects that are unlikely to be real and encourages practices likely to yield such effects. Second, it overlooks the small effects that are most likely to be real, hindering attempts to identify and understand the actual determinants of complex psychological phenomena. We then explain the theoretical and practical relevance of small effects, which can have substantial consequences, especially when considered at scale and over time. Finally, we suggest ways in which scholars can harness these insights to advance research and practices in psychology (i.e., leveraging the power of big data, machine learning and crowdsourcing science; promoting rigorous pre-registration, including pre-specifying the smallest effect size of interest (SEOI); contextualizing effects; changing cultural norms to reward accurate and meaningful, rather than exaggerated and unreliable effects). It is only once we accept small effects as the norm, rather than exception, that we can build a reliable and reproducible cumulative psychological science.

Between Suspicion and Love. Reality, Postcritique, and Euro-American Modernization (An Introduction to the Debate)
Authors: Mitrano Mena
Published: January 2021

The essay introduces major tenets in the current debate on postcritique, focusing especially on the widespread rejection of symptomatic reading in literary studies and on the rejection of rupture as both a modernist and theoretical model for the conception of the new. Further, it presents theory as a phase of Euro-American modernization. Finally, it outlines a wider, more dynamic concept of critique, understood as a movement of intellectual—and geographical—displacements.

Cosmopolitanism, Translocality, Astronoetics: A Multi-Local Vantage Point
Authors: Vargas-Cetina Gabriela , Kang Manpreet Kaur
Published: January 2021

The world in which we live is crisscrossed by multiple flows of people, information, non-human life, travel circuits and goods. At least since the Sixteenth Century, the Americas have received and generated new social, cultural and product trends. As we see through the case studies presented here, modern literature and dance, the industrialization of food and the race to space cannot be historicized without considering the role the Americas, and particularly the United States, have played in all of them. We also see, at the same time, how these flows of thought, art, science and products emerged from sources outside the Americas to then take root in and beyond the United States. The authors in this special volume are devising conceptual tools to analyze this multiplicity across continents and also at the level of particular nations and localities. Concepts such as cosmopolitanism, translocality and astronoetics are brought to shed light on these complex crossings, giving us new ways to look at the intricacy of these distance-crossing flows. India, perhaps surprisingly, emerges as an important cultural interlocutor, beginning with the idealized, imagined versions of Indian spirituality that fueled the romanticism of the New England Transcendentalists, to the importance of Indian dance pioneers in the world stage during the first part of the twentieth century and the current importance of India as a player in the race to space.
India and the Translocal Modern Dance Scene, 1890s–1950s
Authors: Vargas-Cetina Gabriela
Published: January 2021

At the end of the nineteenth century and during the first half of the twentieth, lead dancers from different countries became famous and toured internationally. These dancers—and the companies they created—transformed various dance forms into performances fit for the larger world of art music, ballet, and opera circuits. They adapted ballet to the variety-show formats and its audiences. Drawing on shared philosophical ideas—such as those manifest in the works of the Transcendentalists or in the writings of Nietzsche and Wagner—and from movement techniques, such as ballet codes, the Delsarte method, and, later on, Eurythmics (in fashion at the time), these lead dancers created new dance formats, choreographies, and styles, from which many of today’s classical, folk, and ballet schools emerged. In this essay, I look at how Rabindranath Tagore, Isadora Duncan, Anna Pavlova, Ruth St. Denis and Ted Shawn, Uday Shankar, Leila Roy Sokhey and Rumini Devi Arundale contributed to this translocal dance scene. Indian dance and spirituality, as well as famous Indian dancers, were an integral part of what at the time was known as the international modern dance scene. This transnational scene eventually coalesced into several separate schools, including what today is known as classical and modern Indian dance styles.
Mapping Miguel Covarrubias across Cultures and Disciplines
Authors: Racine Nathaniel R.
Published: January 2021

In this paper, I explore the Pageant of the Pacific, a sequence of mural-maps painted by the Mexican artist and illustrator, Miguel Covarrubias, for the San Francisco International Exposition of 1939–1940. By placing these mural-maps within the larger context of cultural geography and Covarrubias’s own theories of comparative anthropology, they offer an artistic and poetic explanation of the relationships found among the cultures of the Pacific Rim, drawing connections across historical epoch and geographical region. Within Covarrubias’s own historical context, these maps provide an important visual link that crosses disciplinary boundaries, providing insight into the intellectual conversation of his era and, perhaps, providing a model for interdisciplinarity in the present age as well.

Elsie Park Gowan's(re)-Building of Canada, 1937-1938: Revisioning the Historical Radio Series through Feminist Eyes
Authors: Day Moira
Published: January 2021

Quite aside from its historical significance as one of the first prairie-generated series to reach national radio and as the definitive work that launched Gowan's career as a radio writer, Gowan's Building of Canada series (1937-38) raises a number of important questions about defining historicity within the context of historical dramatic writing. Where Merrill Denison, an often progressive writer of contemporary stage plays, chooses to celebrate the conventional values of male pioneer adventure, empire-building, war and military glory within the context of his seminal historical radio series, The Romance of Canada (1931), Gowan's Building represents a more complex attempt to reconcile her vision as a trained historian, concerned with the objective chronicling and analysis of the male-dominated world of wars, economy, politics and public life, with her vision as a social activist playwright committed to interpreting the human world through the focus of her socialistic, pacifistic and feminist convictions.
Captain R. Burton Deane and Theatre on the Prairies, 1883-1901
Authors: Baker William M.
Published: January 2021

R Burton Deane, a Mounted Police officer, was instrumental in the development of theatre in the Prairie West between 1883 and 1901. His interest in theatre had been an outgrowth of his performance of magic tricks. As an adjutant for the Royal Marines in England he had been placed in charge of a theatre and in that capacity he gained considerable experience in producing, directing and acting. The pioneer communities of Regina and Lethbridge received the benefit of Deane's expertise. His productions supported local charities, improved relations between the Mounties and the local elite, raised crucial issues of social relevance, albeit in a lighthearted manner, and provided theatrical performances of good quality for the newly-established centres.
Petit-Tchaïkovski et ses Paratextes: Le Cas du Titre
Authors: Watanabe Anthony M.
Published: January 2021

La présente étude traite de la titrologie chez Fournier révélant ainsi la façon dont ce texte en marge qui fait partie de l'appareil paratextuel donne de l'ampleur et à l'opéra cadre et à l'opéra en châssé à travers la réflexivité. Multiples donc sont les niveaux de réflexion où il est question d'une pièce gigogne qui renvoie à la vie du compositeur québécois qui renvoie, à son tour, à celle du compositeur russe. C'est de cette manière que les paratextes chez Fournier, espèces de mises en abyme en marge, se rattachent au texte principal grâce à un rapport de réciprocité et d'interdépendance où ils s'illuminent l'un et l'autre.
Borderline Crossings in Sharon Pollock's Out-Law Genres: Blood Relations and Doc
Authors: Kerr Rosalind
Published: January 2021

Sharon Pollock's well-known plays, Blood Relations and Doc, can be read as "out-law genres" by extending the criteria which Caren Kaplan has outlined to designate women's renegade texts to theatrical representations. Both plays mix conventionally unmixable theatrical elements and use collaborative discursive practices to expose the myth that texts are individually authored, creating alternative texts based on a discourse of situation or a "politics of location." After her split-subject representation of the notorious parent-killer, Lizzie Borden, Pollock crosses back into Canadian territory to create her own version of the excluded daughter's revenge in Doc where Catherine sets out to murder her father's reputation symbolically. Taken together, Pollock's plays, which rescue lost women's stories, point to a new dramatic future capable of expressing revolutionary transnational feminisms.
Une Stratégie Descriptive Dans La Sagouine D'Antonine Maillet: L'énumération
Authors: Dolbec Nathalie
Published: January 2021

Cet article s'intéresse à un type de discours peu souvent étudié dans le roman et encore moins au théâtre: le descriptif. Un premier diagnostic du descriptif dans La Sagouine montre une prédilection pour les description à caractère énumératif. L'article s'efforce d'expliquer cette préférence, puis s'emploie à analyser le fonctionnement interne des descriptions énumératives, dégageant quatre tendances dans l'art de la conteuse dont une fera l'objet d'un plus long examen -- l'énumération de type hétérogène. Tout compte fait, la description énumérative dans La Sagouine ne peut être considérée comme une opération de remplissage. Il faut, au contraire, lui reconnaître une fonction narrative. Qui est plus, elle fournit au spectateur un portrait de la descriptrice, souvent éclipsé par celui de la narratrice.
Collage, Assemblage, Bricolage ou La Mise en Scène Dans l'Installation-Vidéo
Authors: Chaîné Francine
Published: January 2021

Les arts visuels ont été source d'inspiration pour les arts de la scène en particulier à cause de la performance. Oeuvre éclatée, la performance laisse place à l'artiste qui devient le centre de sa production, l'objet même de son travail. Ce dernier, agissant en général comme maître d'oeuvre, organise les divers éléments visuels, matériels, sonores, textuels, etc., dans l'espace de représentation.

Bien que fascinante par son aspect fugace et éphémère, voire événementiel, la performance a été quelque peu mise à l'écart par plusieurs artistes qui sont revenus, vers le milieu des années '80, à un art d'objets (peinture, sculpture, photo, etc.). À cette même époque, l'installation a pris un essor considérable dans la pratique artistique québécoise et canadienne. Il ne s'agissait plus de présenter une seule oeuvre isolée ou présentée en série, mais plutôt de mettre en relation, dans un espace donné, divers éléments qui formaient un tout.

L'installation fait appel à différents genres, qu'il s'agisse de la peinture, de la sculpture, de la photographie, etc. En fait, l'installation est l'art de l'hybride par excellence. Autant la performance a nourri les arts de la scène autant l'installation, qui plus est, l'installation-vidéo, fait appel au théâtre, et plus précisément à une mise en scène, par le dispositif à l'intérieur duquel le spectateur doit circuler pour en saisir le sens.

Dans notre exposé, nous présenterons l'installation-vidéo en lien avec trois notions: le collage, fonctionnant par ajouts ou par petites touches, voire par transparence (les images télé). L'assemblage, la deuxième notion, opère dans la mise en relation des divers éléments matériels qui composent l'installation. Enfin, le bricolage ou la reconstruction de l'installation, se fait par le parcours du spectateur dans l'espace. Pour illustrer notre propos, nous présenterons l'une de nos productions ainsi que celle d'une autre artiste montréalaise.
Autobiographical Imprints in Nineteenth-Century Canadian Drama: Sarah Curzon's Laura Secord: Heroine of 1812

Glace Bay to Hollywood: A Political Journey
Authors: Belliveau George
Published: January 2021

This essay examines how Wendy Lill's The Glace Bay Miners' Museum and Gerry Wexler/Mort Ransen's Margaret's Museum re-interpret the politics of Sheldon Currie's short story "The Glace Bay Miners' Museum" through their choice of dramatic structures, characterizations, and titles. The two adaptations highlight, develop, and privilege different aspects of the source material to suit the distinct features of theatre and film, as well as their target audiences. I argue that Lill's stage play, with its emphasis on union and workers' rights, overtly foregrounds the political; whereas by privileging the love story, Wexler/Ransen's film initially appears to de-emphasize the political.

Carroll Aikins and the Home Theatre
Authors: Hoffman James
Published: January 2021

Carroll Aikins founded the Home Theatre in Naramata on Lake Okanagan in British Columbia in November 1920. Having just had his play The God of Gods produced at the Birmingham Repertory Theatre in England, Aikins, adhering to the 'Art Theatre' principles of Gordon Craig and Maurice Browne, began the Canadian Players, a training company intended to mount and tour indigenous drama on a national scale. Recruiting instructors from the Neighborhood Playhouse in New York, he commenced work in his theatre building which was designed in collaboration with Lee Simonson of the Theatre Guild. The company produced a regular season of new works by such authors as Synge, Gilbert Murray, and Anatol France. When the venture closed, Aikins went on to direct for several seasons at Hart House Theatre in Toronto in the late 1920s. This paper includes a brief biography of Aikins, a survey of the Canadian Players, a discussion of Aikins' ideals, as well as a consideration of the practical problems and eventual closure. There is also a chronological listing of the plays produced by the Home Theatre.

The American actor and stock-company manager Vaughan Glaser settled in Toronto to operate an extraordinarily popular repertory company at the Uptown and Victoria theatres, September 1921-June 1928, with occasional appearances later. His carefully chosen comedies, musicals, pantomimes, melodramas and infrequent serious dramas contributed significantly to the great vogue for stock theatre in Toronto before radio, talking films, and the Depression brought it to an end.
Liver Sinusoidal Endothelial Cell (Lsec) Isolation Following a Liver Perfusion Technique
Authors: Saharudin Shahida , A. Talib Norlelawati , Abdullah Nor Zamzila , Ab. Rahman Jamalludin , Buyong Zunariah
Published: January 2021

Introduction: Liver perfusion has been the standard method to digest and isolate liver cells including liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSEC). Poor cannulating skills through portal vein results in a waste of animal resource. Familiarization of both liver perfusion technique and adhering strictly to aseptic technique during cell handling ensure high cell yield, minimum morphology disruption and cell contamination. We aimed to present a method of liver perfusion procedure followed by the isolation of LSEC. Materials and method: The study was conducted with the approval of IACUC committee. Seven Sprague Dawley rats underwent these procedures under anaesthesia. Liver perfusion was done as previously described. Briefly, LSEC were isolated by liberase enzyme perfusion of the liver, isopycnic sedimentation in a two- step Percoll gradient and selective adherence. The purification and cultivation of LSEC was evaluated by light and electron microscopy. Results: Purity and viability of LSEC after selective adherence was 80.5 ± 3.5% and ≥ 95 %, respectively. The average concentration of the cells ranged from 32 - 75 x 106 per 400 gm rat. After 8 hours of culture, LSEC monolayers were contaminated with less than 5% of other cells. Conclusion: This method is reliable and reproducible for the isolation of LSEC to enable the study of structure and function of these cells in vitro. However, improvement on the perfusion skills and isolation technique are vital to ensure better cell purity.
Expression Of Gamma Glutamyl Hydrolase And Carbonic Anhydrase 9 In Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma And Their Association With Extracapsular Spread
Authors: Burhanudin Nor Aszlitah , Kallarakka Thomas George
Published: January 2021

Introduction: Extracapsular spread (ECS) is one of the most important prognostic factors in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Gamma Glutamyl Hydrolase (GGH) is a lysosomal enzyme which is involved in folate homeostasis. It is overexpressed in several human malignancies but its role in OSCC has never been reported. Carbonic Anhydrase 9 (CA9) is a transmembrane glycoprotein and is related to hypoxia. High expression of CA9 has been associated with poor prognosis in several tumours including OSCC. This study was aimed to investigate the expression of GGH and CA9 in OSCC and their potential use as biomarkers to predict ECS. Materials and Methods: Immunohistochemical staining with GGH and CA9 markers were performed in 35 cases of OSCC (19 with ECS and 16 without ECS) and 5 cases of normal mucosa. A semi-quantative index was used for immunoscoring. Association between the expression of these markers and ECS status were analyzed using chi-square test. Results:  Immunohistochemical results indicated that GGH and CA9 were upregulated in OSCC. High GGH and CA9 expression were significantly associated with ECS (p<0.05). Combination of GGH and CA9 showed greater prognostic accuracy as compared to the individual markers. Conclusion(s):  Both separately and in combination GGH and CA9 offer potential as prognostic biomarkers in OSCC and was thus reliable in segregating the OSCC cases based on ECS status.

İnternet kullanımının artması ve teknolojik gelişmelerle beraber insanlar her gün yüzlerce fotoğraf çekmektedir. Gün geçtikçe artan fotoğraflar telefon hafızasında fazlasıyla yer kaplamaktadır. Flash disk, bilgisayar ve telefonlarda bu fotoğrafların saklanması, kaybolma ve bozulma gibi durumlar nedeniyle çok güvenilir olmamaktadır. Bu durum telefon dışında yeni depolama alanları ihtiyacını ortaya çıkarmıştır. Bu noktada alternatif olarak bulut depolama sistemleri kullanılmaktadır. Bulut depolama alanları sisteme erişim ve saldırılara karşı güvenlik tedbirleri içermektedir fakat sisteme yüklenen resimler üzerinde doğrudan bir işlem yapmamaktadır. Bulut hesaplar bazen kötü niyetli kişiler tarafından ele geçirilmekte ve kişilerin fotoğrafları çalınabilmektedir. Bu durumu önlemek için depolama işleminden önce görüntü üzerinde şifreleme algoritmaları kullanan bir sistem önerilmiştir. Sistemde CodeIgniter (PHP Framework) altındaki çeşitli simetrik şifreleme algoritmaları karşılaştırılarak incelenmiş ve uygulama sonuçları sunulmuştur. Görüntülerin şifrelenerek farklı bir dosya uzantısı ile bulut depolama(AWS) ortamında ya da lokal ortamda saklanması sağlanmıştır. Bu çalışmada önerilen sistem ile görüntülerin tutuldukları ortamdan bağımsız olarak daha güvenli bir depolama imkanı sağlanması hedeflenmiştir.
Saint Cyril of Alexanrian The Commentary on the Epistle to the Romans (from the Catenae)
Authors: Юлаев Феодор
Published: January 2021

В публикации представлен русский перевод сохранившегося в составе греческих катен«Толкования на Послание к Римлянам» свт. Кирилла Александрийского. В предисловии определяется изначальная форма толкования и с привлечением дополнительных источников делается вывод, что это был экзегетический комментарий, разделённый на «томы». На основании содержания трактата решается вопрос о его датировке и указывается, что отсутствие примет несторианского спора означает, что оно написано до 429 г., а особенности триадологической терминологии позволяют датировать его не ранее начала написания «Диалогов о Святой Троице» (412 или 423 г.). Рассматриваются герменевтические принципы святителя и даётся обзор содержания толкования. Отмечается, что оно посвящено почти исключительно вопросам сотериологии: распространение и действие греха в потомках Адама, бессилие закона Моисея в борьбе с грехом и значение закона, домостроительство воплощённого Слова, Промысл Божий в отношении еврейского народа и язычников, человеческая свобода, которую не отменяет предведение Божие.

The publication presents a Russian translation of the surviving part of the Greek Catens «Interpretation of the Epistle to the Romans» St. Cyril of Alexandria. The Preface indicates the initial form of interpretation is determined and with the help of additional sources it is concluded that it was an exegetic comment divided into «volumes». On the basis of the content of the treatise, the question of its dating is solved and it is indicated that the absence of the Nestorian dispute means that it was written before 429, and the features of the triadological terminology allow to date it not earlier than the beginning of writing «Dialogues about the Holy Trinity» (412 or 423). Examines the hermeneutical principles of the Saint and an overview of the content of the interpretation. It is noted that it is devoted almost exclusively to the issues of soteriology: the spread and action of sin in the descendants of Adam, the powerlessness of the law of Moses in the fight against sin and the meaning of the law, the house-building of the incarnate Word, God's Providence towards the Jewish people and pagans, human freedom, which does not negate the foreknowledge of God.

The ‘Letter to Publius’ of St. Ephrem the Syrian
Authors: Полховский Александр Владимирович
Published: January 2021

Статья посвящена ранее не переводившемуся на русский язык «Посланию к Публию», принадлежащему перу выдающегося сирийского писателя IV в. прп. Ефрема Сирина (Мар Афрема Нисибинского) (ок. 306–373). «Послание к Публию» представляет собой размышление на тему Последнего Суда, ожидающего всякого человека, — размышление, изобилующее многочисленными образами, которые весьма часто встречаются и в других подлинных сочинениях прп. Ефрема.

The Tasks of the Military Clergy During the Period of Hostilities in the First World War and Methods for Solving Them
Authors: Безик Георгий
Published: January 2021

Представленное исследование посвящено изучению задач, стоявших перед военным духовенством России в период Первой мировой войны, и методов их решения. Целью работы является оценка функционала военного духовенства в структуре армии императорской России в обозначенных хронологических и ситуационных рамках. Методология исследования выстроена путём комбинации структурного, системного и сравнительного анализа. Автор приходит к выводу, что с началом боевых действий перечень обязанностей военного духовенства существенным образом расширился. Священнослужители были вынуждены решать задачи, выходившие за рамки устоявшегося регламента и требовавшие наличия особой подготовки, в том числе связанные с оказанием медицинской помощи и эвакуацией раненых. Накануне войны командование, вероятнее всего, не смогло адекватно оценить задачи, стоящие перед военным духовенством в рамках грядущего конфликта. В результате священнослужителям пришлось вырабатывать методику служения уже непосредственно в ходе боевых действий. В целом представители военного духовенства эффективно решали поставленные перед ними задачи. Однако результативность их работы снижали такие факторы, как наличие бюрократических барьеров, ограничение прав в пользу вышестоящих офицеров и военно-административное подчинение фронтовым снабженцам.

The presented research is devoted to the study of the problems faced by the military clergy of Russia during the First World War, and methods for solving them. The purpose of the work is to assess the functionality of the military clergy in the structure of the army of imperial Russia in the designated chronological and situational framework. The research methodology is based on a combination of structural, system and comparative analysis. The author comes to the conclusion that with the beginning of hostilities, the list of duties of the military clergy has significantly expanded. The clergy were forced to solve tasks that went beyond the established regulations and required special training, including those related to providing medical care and evacuating the wounded. On the eve of the war, the command most likely failed to adequately assess the tasks facing the military clergy in the upcoming conflict. As a result, the clergy had to develop a method of service directly during the fighting. In general, representatives of the military clergy effectively solved the tasks assigned to them. However, the effectiveness of their work was reduced by such factors as the presence of bureaucratic barriers, restriction of rights in favor of higher-ranking officers, and military-administrative subordination to front-line supplies.
PROGRESSION OF DIABETIC NON-PROLIFERATIVE RETINOPATHY IN TYPE 2 DIABETES MELLITUS: THE CONNECTION WITH THE BLOOD ENDOTHELIAL MONOCYTE-ACTIVATING POLYPEPTIDE-II LEVEL

Relevance. The numerous pro-inflammatory and antiangiogenic properties of endothelial monocyte-activating polypeptide-II (EMAP-II) suggest its possible role in the onset and progression of diabetic non-proliferative retinopathy (DNPR) in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

Objective – is to determine the blood EMAP-II in the DM2 patients and to establish its connection with the progression of DNPR.

Material and methods. We examined 91 patients with DM2 (182 eyes), who were divided into groups: 1st – there was no DNPR in both eyes and 2nd – there was no retinopathy in one eye, and isolated vascular anomalies were noted in the other (ETDRS level 14, 15). The control group included 25 patients of the corresponding age and gender. The patients were re-examined after 1 year. The level of EMAP-II was determined by the enzyme immunoassay in blood plasma once at the beginning of the study. Statistical packages MedStat and MedCalc v.15.1 (MedCalc Software bvba) were used for statistical research.

Results. The analysis of clinical and laboratory parameters showed that the initial manifestations of diabetic retinal lesions were manifested in 27.5% of patients after 7.16±1.11 years and were accompanied by greater glycemia. The level of EMAP-II in DM2 was many times higher than in the control, which depended on the presence of diabetic vascular changes in the retina: in patients without changes in the retina (group 1) – by 3.7 times, and in patients with initial vascular anomalies (group 2) – 5.2 times (p<0.001). The level of EMAP-II at the beginning of the study was associated with the progression of diabetic changes in the retina after 1 year – with their presence, it was 1.5 times higher than without them (p<0.001). Stratification by stage of DNPR after 1 year also showed the dependence of the severity of diabetic changes in the retina on the initial level of EMAP-II: in the presence of single vascular anomalies and initial DNPR, it was increased by 3-4 times, while with moderate DNPR – 5.9 times (p<0.001 for all comparisons).

Conclusion. Thus, a significant increase in the level of EMAP-II in T2DM was established, and the dependence of the initial diabetic changes in the retina and the degree of their progression in 1 year after the increasing of the blood EMAP-II level.
