Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University in Dushanbe, Khasanova Takhmina G.
Published: March 2021

At the epicentre of this research is the issue of language policy in the framework of transformation processes in the Republic of Tajikistan, which is reflected in the country’s media discourse. Initially, the author draws attention to the fact that the Tajik media, considered the most professional and free in Central Asia, during the period of the cardinal change of historical milestones were distinguished by tendentiousness, turning into a thoughtless machine for directives implementation. The article presents the author’s independent Tajikistan media main stages classification and gives a succinct description of each of them. The author substantiates the status of language policy subjectivity. The multi-vector, rationalism and balance of language policy in the Republic of Tajikistan is particularly noted. The author carries out a comparative analysis of some former socialist camp countries experience due to socio-linguistic goals related to the state language promotion and the special legal status assignment to the Russian language. Official statistics are presented on the quantitative distribution of the republic’s population by gender, nationality and mother tongue, in accordance with which the media discourse in the context of language policy is analyzed. In conclusion, a number of main criteria for the language policy pursued by the Tajik authorities are listed, in accordance with which the Tajik language policy is highly praised by experts.
LANGUAGE OF PUBLICATION OF NORMATIVE ACTS: PROBLEMS OF BILINGUALISM OF REGIONAL LEGISLATION AND WAYS TO SOLVE THEM
Authors:   St. Petersburg state University, Revazov Michael A.
Published: March 2021

The use of the state language of the Russian Federation is mandatory in the publication of regulatory legal acts of both Federal and regional levels. The republics of the Russian Federation, along with the Russian language, may use their own state languages in the publication of the legal acts. The current legislation defines the procedure for the use of the Russian language as a state language, but this procedure is far from perfect. Certain requirements should be made and the use of regional official languages. The simultaneous use of two or more languages in the creation and publication of an legal acts creates a number of difficulties, inevitable in bilingual or multilingual legislation.

Authors: Tchoekha O.
Published: March 2021

The present paper refers to the overview of Modern Greek most common divinatory practices intended to bring on a prophetic dream about the future spouse (St. Theodores kollyvo rites, salted-bread rite, “fastening the Fate” rite) along with the texts of the magic formulas and charms casted in the process of the former divinatory rites. Modern divinatory practices appear to have a tendency towards convergence, the texts of incantations follow the same trend and get interchangeable.
Arkas: a pragmatic approach to a Greek comic series
Authors: Lampropoulou M.
Published: March 2021

The paper analyzes certain episodes taken from Arkas comic series: «Με τον κηδεμόνα σου» (Me ton kidemona sou) and «Σκέπτομαι κι ας μην υπάρχω» (Skeptome ki as min iparxo) in terms of Pragmatics. It explores the way language is used to create humor and jokes in one of the most famous Greek comic series. Sense relations, lexical relations and sentence relations are tracked down. In particular, an attempt to test the applicability of Grice’s conversational Maxims, implicatures-explicatures, as well as, the Cooperation Principle is made. In addition, cases of polysemy are discussed. By examining the bubbles and the various symbols, the aim is to identify specific patterns that lead to a humorous outcome. Along with the linguistic elements, reference is made to the aesthetics that surround the sketches. Overall, the paper analyses specific episodes treating language as a means by which we do things.

Published: March 2021

One of the most important and potential problems encountered in an official online letter management application is the recipients' late response. This action research aims to improve the recipients' response time and determine the central core of shyness according to response time categories: less than 24 hours (green zone); between 24 hours to 48 hours (orange zone); and more than 48 hours (red zone) in managing formal online letter management system at Jambi University. Using the social representation theory of shyness as the basis of action adopted from Moscovici theory [1], it is hypothesized that response time displaying will impact response time improvement. A survey questionnaire distributed to 129 respondents showed a significant improvement in the participants' response time, respectively, in cycles 1 and 2. The zone group increased percentage sed from 22.44% to 52.49 % in the first cycle, and it ultimately raised to 62.38% at the end of the second cycle. Such an increase might be due to the users' efforts to avoid the level of shyness, which were classified into: (1) slow to respond and (2) personal or work unit late response time â€“ both marked in red. It is recommended that social shyness incorporated in improving response time in a formal online letter can be further implemented with other social and psychological parameters. The application will illustrate computer systems' interaction on social society to implement regulations both in institutions and in government.
Renegotiating the European Union’s free movement and social security coordination policies: Britain’s approaches and interests
Authors: Milton Thomas
Published: March 2021

The EU’s freedom of movement has increasingly been brought into question in the last few years as member states have restricted social benefits for EU migrants. Britain proposed in-work benefit restrictions for economically active EU migrants in intergovernmental negotiations leading up to the referendum on its membership to the EU. Access to social benefits is an important component of free movement. It provides EU citizens with social rights in host member states, which promotes internal migration. Restricting free movement threatens European integration because it is a fundamental EU treaty right. This article analyses Britain’s preferences towards the EU’s free movement and social security coordination policies leading up to the Brexit referendum. Britain’s identity, and conceptions of statehood and European.
Evaluating the EUSDR’s contribution to sub-regional integration processes
Authors: Ngampramuan Soavapa
Published: March 2021

This paper examines the dynamics of sub-regional integration processes within the Danube region as an example of EU sub-regionalism by focusing on the European Strategy on the Danube River (EUSDR). The assumption is that sub-regional integration projects differ conceptually from regional level integration processes as they tend to focus on the local and provincial level rather than the national level. As such sub-regional integration processes are characterised by integration processes based on geographic proximity, shared historical and cultural awareness, and the perception that closer local co-operation will generate economic profits. However, the regional level (EU) which represents the higher level will exert a certain influence on the occurrence and the dynamics of sub- regional integration processes as they are not completely independent from each other. The formulation and implementation of the EUSDR offers an insightful example in this regard.

The article provides insights into business process management of rural enterprises. The study substantiates the main factors affecting management efficiency and provides rationale for the degree of each of the impact factor that allows to held profitability control and timely respond to changes in market environment. Based on the review of modern performance assessment methods, the findings demonstrate their diversity resulted from different goals in efficiency evaluation (evaluating changes in time, structure, etc.), as well as the heterogeneous nature of the system elements to be evaluated. Following the logic of management decision-making process, the study suggests the key areas for effective business process management at rural enterprises. It is argued that the implementation of the selected strategic vectors will facilitate a reasoned distribution of discrete management functions taking into account the correlation of enterprise costs at different management level along with contributing to settling the technological sequence of operations and assigning them to particular managerial staff. While developing the specific management vectors, the typical functions to meet business processes management needs at rural enterprises in Ukraine have been selected to be applied in practice. The research conclusions offer the following generalizations: the implementation of the key four management process functions is a cyclical process; given the results of control, a new plan is formed, and within the new management process cycle, all functions are preserved. A pathway to effective business processes management at rural enterprises is implementation of an integrated approach which involves the assessment of the set of selected indicators, both quantitative and qualitative, i. e. absolute and relative ones, respectively.

ANO1 is differentially expressed in lymph node metastasis in human breast cancer.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: March 2021

Metastasis to the brain is a clinical problem in patients with breast cancer (1-3). Between the breast and the brain reside the secondary lymphoid organ, the lymph nodes. We mined published microarray data (4, 5) to compare primary and metastatic tumor transcriptomes for the discovery of genes associated with metastasis to the lymph nodes in humans with metastatic breast cancer. We found that anoctamin 1, ANO1, was among the genes whose expression was most different in the lymph node metastases of patients with metastatic breast cancer as compared to primary tumors of the breast. ANO1 mRNA was present at increased quantities in lymph node metastases as compared to primary tumors of the breast. Importantly, expression of ANO1 in primary tumors of the breast was correlated with patient overall survival, in lymph node positive patients but not in lymph node negative patients. Modulation of ANO1 expression may be relevant to the biology by which tumor cells metastasize from the breast to the lymph nodes and the brain in humans with metastatic breast cancer.

Metastasis to the brain is a clinical problem in patients with breast cancer (1-3). Between the breast and the brain reside the secondary lymphoid organ, the lymph nodes. We mined published microarray data (4, 5) to compare primary and metastatic tumor transcriptomes for the discovery of genes associated with metastasis to the lymph nodes in humans with metastatic breast cancer. We found that IQ motif containing with AAA domain 1, IQCA1, was among the genes whose expression was most different in the lymph node metastases of patients with metastatic breast cancer as compared to primary tumors of the breast. Analysis of a separate microarray dataset revealed that IQCA1 was also differentially expressed in brain metastatic tissues. IQCA1 mRNA was present at decreased quantities in lymph node metastases as compared to primary tumors of the breast. Importantly, expression of IQCA1 in primary tumors of the breast was correlated with patient overall survival, in lymph node negative patients but not in lymph node positive patients. Modulation of IQCA1 expression may be relevant to the biology by which tumor cells metastasize from the breast to the lymph nodes and the brain in humans with metastatic breast cancer.

The imprint of erosion by glacial lake outburst floods in the topography of central Himalayan rivers
Authors: Dahlquist Maxwell , West A.
Published: March 2021

In steep landscapes, river incision sets the pace of landscape evolution. Transport of coarse sediment controls incision by evacuating material delivered to river channels by landslides. However, large landslide-derived boulders that impede bedrock erosion are immobile even in major runoff-driven floods. Glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs) mobilize these boulders and drive incision, yet their role in regional-scale erosion is poorly understood, largely because of their rarity. Here, we find a topographic signature consistent with widespread GLOF erosion in the Nepal Himalaya. Our interpretations emerge from the analysis of normalized channel steepness patterns, knickpoint distributions, and valley wideness. In rivers with glaciated headwaters that generate GLOFs, valleys stay narrow and relatively free of sediment, with bedrock often exposed to erosion. In turn, tributaries to these valleys are steep, allowing less efficient erosional regimes to keep pace with GLOF-driven incision. Where GLOFs are less frequent, valleys are more alluviated and incision stalls. Our results suggest that the extent of headwater glaciation may play an important role in the erosion of Himalayan river valleys and deserves more attention in future work.
A simple hypoplastic model for overconsolidated clays
Authors: wang shun , Wu Wei
Published: March 2021

This paper presents a simple hypoplastic constitutive model for overconsolidated clays. The model needs five independent parameters and is as simple as the modified Cam Clay model but with better performance. A structure tensor is introduced to account for the history dependence. Simulations of various elementary tests show that the model is capable of capturing the salient behavior of overconsolidated clays.
On the Impact of Germs and Demons
Authors: Bonder Taly , Erev Ido , Ludvig Elliot Andrew
Published: March 2021

Historical and experimental analyses suggest contradictory deviations from efficient reasoning. In some cases, people tend to oversimplify and ignore important factors like germs, while in others they seem to overcomplicate and consider non-existent factors like imaginary demons. The current study shows how this apparent contradiction can be the product of a tendency to rely on small samples of past experience. Simulations demonstrate that reliance on small samples triggers apparent over-simplicity when simple choice rules are counterproductive but better for most sets of samples; the opposite over-complexity bias emerges when the optimal rule is simple but fails in most samples. The descriptive value of this hypothesis is demonstrated in two preregistered studies with 300 Mechanical-Turk participants. Study 1 shows the qualitative pattern predicted by the reliance on the small-samples hypothesis. Study 2 compares alternative formulations of the sampling process and clarifies the importance of a distinction between choice and sampling processes.

Authors: Ogweno Peter Oyier , Kathuri Nephat J. , Oywaya Agnes
Published: March 2021

The research examined the effects of Problem Based Learning (PBL) and Lecture teaching method (LTM) on students’ achievement in agriculture subject. This research was necessitated by consistent poor performance of students in agriculture subject in the national examination, Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE). The aim was to determine and compare the achievement of students in PBL and LTM. Quasi-Experimental design, following a Non-equivalent Control Group Pre-test-Post-test was adopted. PBL was the treatment, while LTM group was control. All the students of agriculture and teachers of agriculture formed the target population. Stratified random sampling was used to sample 12 schools. Six schools were subjected to PBL while the other six schools followed LTM. The sample size was 484 Form Two agriculture students and 12 teachers of agriculture. Data were collected through agriculture achievement test. Descriptive statistics and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used to analyse the data. The results established that PBL has the greatest potential in improving students’ achievement in agriculture compared with LTM. The PBL method significantly (p<.05) improved the student performance in agriculture. A statistically significant difference was found between students of PBL and LTM. The effects of PBL were more noticeable, therefore, the results are robust enough to inform practicing teachers to adopt PBL method because it has demonstrated its effectiveness in delivering content. The results may inform education experts at tertiary institutions and universities in Kenya on the benefits of implementing PBL method to pre-service teachers.
Data Quality in Web and App Diaries: A Person-Level Comparison
Authors: Chatzitheochari Stella , Mylona Elena
Published: March 2021

The time-use diary is a complex and burdensome data collection instrument. This can negatively affect data quality, leading to less detailed and/or inaccurate activity reporting as the surveyed time period unfolds. However, it can also be argued that data quality may actually improve over time as respondents become more familiar with the diary instrument format and more interested in the diary task. These competing hypotheses have only been partially tested on data from paper and telephone-administered diaries, which are traditionally used for large-scale data collection. Less is known about self-administered modes that make use of new technologies, despite their increasing popularity among researchers. This research note rectifies this omission by comparing diary quality in self-administered web and app diaries, drawing on data from the Millennium Cohort Study. We construct a person-level data quality typology, using information on missing data, episode changes, and reporting of key daily activity domains. Results show significant mode differences on person-level data quality, after controlling for characteristics known to influence diary mode selection and data quality. App diarists were more likely to return two diaries of inconsistent quality. Both respondent fatigue and improvement of completion over time appear more common among app diarists.

Quantitative Research of Political Regimes in the Arab Middle East: Mission Impossible?
Authors: Kharitonova Oxana
Published: March 2021

The article deals with the methodological problems of quantitative studies of political regimes and regime transformations in the Arab Middle East. Special attention is given to the questions of conceptualization, operationalization and typology of political regimes and regime changes since the quantitative research results depend on the datasets used. The article considers two approaches to operationalization, categorization and quantification, which are aimed either at distinguishing of separate unordered categories, or at measuring and linear placement of the observations on the axis. The conceptual problems reviewed include conceptual stretching and operationalization of successful and unsuccessful regime transformations. The article states that structural approach dominates in the quantitative research of regime changes since the conditions and cause-and-effect relationships between contextual factors and the risk of regime change are studied. The article shows how the regime changes can be quantitatively studied at the global, regional and country levels. The article concludes that the structural approach in quantitative studies is methodologically correct since a large number of hypotheses can be tested, but the main disadvantage of such studies is the explanation of different political regime changes by the same set of nonpolitical factors. The quantitative analysis of the Arab spring on the basis of Arab Barometer at the level of individuals revealed the significance of the high education, employment, male gender, religiosity an young age. The article shows that survey provide rich data for quantitative research with large numbers of observations, but the quality of the conclusions will depend on the quality of survey data.

Published: March 2021

The Declaration of COVID 19 as a pandemic became a turning point that shifted the paradigm of human civilization and education system. This paper aims to explore the behavioral aspects of school-level children and the situation of online education after the COVID 19 pandemic in Nepal. The study used an exploratory research design to achieve purposes. The parents having school-level children are the population for this study. And purposive sampling technique is used to collect primary data through an online system by sharing the link of the questionnaire form to parents living in urban areas, and fifty responses collected during a month. Descriptive statistical tools used for analysis purposes. The closure of schools has increased the use of mobiles phone in children. Children spent very little time in house undertakings, indooroutdoor games, singing and dancing, and playing with family members. They have observed changes in their usual behavior, parents are feeling difficulties to handle their children in a house settings. Online education is a new use for Nepalese society and school-level education. The participation of children in online education and the effectiveness is at a satisfactory level. However, electricity, accessory devices, internet facility, the interest of children, and lack of monitoring of children’s education have become the major problems. The study finding suggests that parents should take care of children’s education and prevent them from the unwanted effects of using the mobile phone and other undesirable behavioral changes due to the closures of schools.

Authors: Adhikari Mandira Pradhananga , Lamsal Sandeep Sharma
Published: March 2021

Phosphoric acid-activated Terminalia-bellerica (Barro) seed stone powder was carbonized in a muffle furnace at three different temperatures (300, 400, and 500oC). The activated carbons (BAC-300, BAC-400, and BAC-500) were characterized by using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), methylene blue number, and iodine number. The iodine number (357 mg/g) and specific surface area (537 m2/g) were a maximum for BAC-400. The BACs followed Langmuir adsorption isotherm and the maximum methylene blue adsorption capacity was 212.77 mg/g. The silver ion removal efficiency was a maximum at pH 6, 3 mg/L of adsorbent dose, and 20 mg/L of silver ion concentration. The BAC-400 could adsorb 40 % of silver ion within 5 mins with the initial Ag(I) ion concentration of 20 mg/L and an adsorbent dose of 1 mg/L. The percentage of adsorption enhanced to 100% with the increment of adsorbent doseto3 g/L.The adsorption kinetics of silver (I) ion on BAC-400 was well fitted to pseudo-second-order kinetics suggesting the chemisorption of silver ions. All the results attributed that low-cost viable adsorbent can be prepared from Barro seed stone for the efficient removal of silver ion from aqueous solution.

Introduction: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is considered as the gold standard treatment for gallstone disease. There has remained a controversy on use of peri operative prophylactic antibiotics during laparoscopic cholecystectomy in reducing perioperative prophylaxis surgical site infections. Various studies has been done to evaluate whether single dose/ three doses or multiple doses are needed to decrease the incidence of surgical site infections. The objective of this study was to identify the incidence of postoperative surgical site infections with three doses of perioperative antibiotics after laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Materials and Methods: This is a retrospective observational study conducted at a private hospital from November 2017 to March 2020. All the patients received three doses of ceftriaxone 1 gram within the first 24 hours of surgery. The incidence of surgical site infection was noted.

Results: A total of 449 patients who fulfilled the inclusion criteria were studied. The age ranged from 16 to 88 years. Male to female ratio was 1:4. Seven cases (1.55%) developed postoperative surgical site infections.

Conclusion: Three doses of perioperative antibiotics are recommended in laparoscopic cholecystectomy to prevent postoperative surgical site infections.

El presente trabajo resume la investigación dirigida a corroborar la falta de coordinación entre las instituciones y organizaciones vinculadas al desarrollo rural en el país, y conocer las causas de la misma. Se espera, de esta forma, aportar a una mayor eficiencia en los procesos de Desarrollo Rural. La investigación se llevó a cabo a partir del análisis del funcionamiento de las mesas de desarrollo del Proyecto Uruguay Rural y de las opiniones de los presidentes de los Consejos Agropecuarios Departamentales creados por el Ministerio de Ganadería, Agricultura y Pesca. En Uruguay ha sido históricamente difícil lograr que las distintas organizaciones e instituciones relacionadas al agro coordinen sus acciones, lo que consideramos un aspecto esencial especialmente para aquellas que propenden al desarrollo rural. Esta falta de coordinación se constituye en una traba a la construcción de un Capital Social que daría mayor dinámica a los procesos de Desarrollo. La coordinación de acciones entre las organizaciones vinculadas al Desarrollo Rural, permitiría construir Capital Social y disminuir lo que la Nueva Economía Institucional denomina costos de transacción. De esta forma, se podría realizar una utilización más eficiente de los recursos generalmente escasos y generar reales procesos de Desarrollo Rural. Por lo tanto, es necesario fortalecer la articulación interinstitucional para lograr sinergias que favorezcan las acciones de Desarrollo Rural Territorial.

Con este trabajo se buscó aportar información objetiva sobre la eficiencia y el ahorro de agua del riego localizado para las condiciones de suelos y clima del Uruguay. En cuanto a la eficiencia, se monitoreó semanalmente el contenido de agua del suelo hasta 1 m de profundidad, en un árbol de citrus regado por goteo. Los resultados muestran que, a pesar de ser un verano extremadamente seco, existieron pérdidas de agua por percolación en profundidad. Aunque no se hizo una cuantificación de esas pérdidas, las mismas eran evidentes. En cuanto al ahorro de agua, se simuló con el modelo WinISAREG el balance hídrico de un cultivo de maíz, utilizando una serie climática de 33 años con datos diarios de precipitación y Evapotranspiración del cultivo de referencia (ETo), regado con riego localizado, (lámina neta, LN 6 mm) y con riego «tradicional» (LN 42 mm). Haciendo un análisis de frecuencia, se encontró que para cubrir las necesidades en el 50 % de los años, el método «tradicional» requirió 388 mm de riego en la temporada, mientras que el localizado requirió 545 mm (40 % más). Por cada milímetro de lluvia adicional en la temporada, la necesidad de riego «tradicional» se reduce en 0,44 mm, mientras que en el caso del riego localizado esta reducción es de sólo 0,33 mm. También se presentan datos primarios de compactación debido al riego por goteo, aumentando la densidad aparente de 1.19 a 1.30 g cm-3. Esta primera evidencia experimental de compactación debida al riego por goteo, deberá ser confirmada o desechada en futuros trabajos.

The investigation identified the application of self-assessment and coevaluation in the learning processes in teachers of the School of Basic Education “Nueva Paquisha” of the Nuevo Paquisha community, of the Rocafuerte Canton. The methodology that was used was experimentation, using the survey as an instrument, which allowed us to know that self-evaluation and coevaluation are necessary for students to develop criteria and opinions about their evaluative practices within the classroom. The results obtained improved authentic evaluations in the teaching and learning process, contributing fundamental results to the transformation of information acquired in both the pedagogical day and in daily life, at the same time providing the information that the teacher needs to know to improve and reinforce the knowledge With this practice, the student demonstrates and values the achievements and teachers allow them to confirm the effectiveness of the teaching process.

U vegetacijskom smislu, šume hrasta crnike sastavni su dio mediteranske regije, a hrast crnika se pojavljuje kao edifikator klimatogene zajednice vazdazelenog pojasa. Tijek razvoja vegetacije u smislu progresije i regresije prikazan je sukcesijom crnikovih šuma. Sukcesija je prisutna ne samo na hrvatskoj obali Jadrana, nego i u cijelom Sredozemlju. U radu je prikazan pregled vegetacijskih analiza i dinamika razvoja crnikovih šuma. Istraživanjem su obuhvaćene samo MAB plohe i plohe na otoku Rabu na poluotoku Kalifrontu osnivane istraživanjima Rauša, Španjola i Barčića (plohe Šumarskog fakulteta). Uz navedeno u radu je analizirana zapaljivost i gorivost hrasta crnike s obzirom da su šumski požari najveća ugroza za šumsku vegetaciju i općenito raslinje u mediteranskoj zoni.
“Like a Wolf Who Fell upon Sheep”: Arab Diaspora and Religion in America, 1880–1930

Historians of migration have extensively studied the economic, social, and political impact of migration and the secular changes amongst diasporic communities, but changes in religious faith, practice and institutions remain opaque. Yet, they form part of the most intimate aspect of the lives transformed in movement and were, in fact, the most active fault line in diasporic communities and at home. However, in relation to religion in the Middle East, historians have hardly paid any attention to movement of people and ideas across and beyond the geographical boundaries of the region. This makes our understanding at best incomplete and, in some instances, incorrect in identifying the sources, dynamics and reasons for change in religious institutions and faith. This article attempts to fill these lacunae by looking at an example of how migration inflected religious institutions and how faith and religion shaped the migratory experience.
The vaginal bacterial dysbiosis severity predicting model according to the normobiota index

The local and systemic immunodeficiency is the main mechanism for vaginal bacterial dysbiosis and its extreme manifestation – bacterial vaginosis (BV) development. The complex immune response study and the establishment of the main mechanisms and factors, reflecting it and corresponding to the microbiocenosis severity disorder are relevant. Aim – to develop a neural network model of the severity of vaginal bacterial dysbiosis based on the assessment of normobiota. Divided into the following groups according to the Conditionally pathogenic microflora index (CPMI) and normobiota index (NBI): normocenosis (n=53), dysbiosis I (n=128) and II degree (n=117) among the latter 83 patients with PNB>1 lg GE/sample were identified, in whom BV was established. Molecular genetic studies of the epithelium scraping from the vagina posterolateral wall were carried out by Polymerase chain reaction (“DNK-Technologiia” LLC, RF). Facultative and obligate anaerobes, myco- and ureplasmas, and yeast-like fungi were quantified. The content of immunoglobulins, lysozyme, cytokines, complement, phagocytosis activity of leukocytes, hormones, the number of lymphocytes and their fractions, as well as the vaginal discharge pH (a total of 58 indexes) were identified in blood and vaginal discharge. For statistical and mathematical analysis, the Statistica 10 software (StatSoft, Inc., USA) was used. Using neural network modeling, it was revealed that among all the factorial signs for determining the bacterial dysbiosis degree, the complement component C4 and γ-INF content in the vaginal discharge and circulating immune complexes (CIC) and TNFα in the blood were important. A linear neural network model was built on the selected set of factor signs (the Cohen’s kappa coefficient consent index on the training set was k=0.87 (95% CI 0.82-0.91) for confirming plurality – k=0.89 (95% CI 0.77-1.00). With normocenosis, the complement activation PNB was decreased, and γ-INF and TNFα content was increased. The CIC levels blood increase corresponded to the opportunistic microflora growth and reflected the humoral immune response activation, which suggests that this indicator is an early dysbiosis marker. With I degree dysbiosis all factors had positive relationship with NBI, which reflected the immune system stress state. In case of II degree dysbiosis, NBI had a negative relationship with γ-INF content in the vaginal discharge, and CIC in the blood, while positive – with C4 content in vaginal discharge, and TNFα in the blood, which proved the immune system dysregulation and caused its further suppression with the BV-association immunodeficiency development. The immune system reaction during the BV development evolved from non-specific resistance reactions to cytokine-induced reactions of specific humoral immunity in response to the BV-associated microbiota growth, which subsequently experienced depletion and loss of immune control.
