National security analytical activities organizational models classification
Authors: Sokolov Vadim
Published: September 2020

The purpose of the article is to elaborate a national security analytical activities organizational models classification.The relevance of the research stems from the fact that Ukraine’s integration to the Euro-Atlantic and European security systems in the context of dynamic security environment sets for the national security state management system a task of elaborating and urgent implementing into the state managerial practice a fundamentally new national security analytical activities organizational model.Comparative-historical method and method of synthesis were used to meet the tasks of the research. The author suggests understanding under the concept «national security analytical activities organizational model» a formalized reflection of a process of establishing national security system analytical activities organizational structures, developing rational organizational relations between the subjects of the above-mentioned activities. The results of the USA, Germany, Russian Federation and China national security analytical activities conceptual bases comparative-historical analysis, and also the results of the analytical activities institutional matrices comparative study, allow to classify the analytical activities organizational models according to the criterion of analytical structures activities organization form into bureaucratic-nomenclatural and cooperative organizational models. The article characterizes bureaucratic-nomenclatural and cooperative organizational models within the national security system by the following components: analytical structure mission, goals, objectives, the way of structural organization, structural organization elements, the specific of cooperation between an analytical structure and the government, typical conditions for analytical structure activities. Conclusion. It is identified that the USA and Germany tend to have a cooperative organizational model of a national security system analytical activities, the Russian Federation, China, and Ukraine – bureaucratic-nomenclatural organizational model. In order to improve the national security state management system of Ukraine in terms of Euro-Atlantic and European integration objectives it is suggested to identify a cooperative model as a perspective organizational model within the national security system analytical activities.

Published: September 2020

The article substantiates the conceptual foundations of the transformation of the public service of Ukraine into the institution of social interaction as one of the most important conditions for overcoming the socio-economic crisis and effective implementation of social reforms. The paper analyzes the current state of crisis in which society and the institution of public service, as the main subject of formation and implementation of public development strategy. It is emphasized that the systemic crisis may well be the factor that changes the social system in the direction of reducing entropy and contributes to the restructuring of the format of the relationship between public service and society. Favorable factors have been identified that accelerate the achievement of a new qualitative state of organization and functioning of the public service in the process of overcoming the crisis. The necessity of cardinal institutional changes at the highest levels of state power, namely in the triangle "Verkhovna Rada – President – Cabinet of Ministers" is substantiated. Based on research conducted by the Razumkov Centre's sociological service from February 13 to 17, 2020, as well as from April 24 to 29, 2020 (by telephone interview), there is a significant decrease in the professionalism and quality of government institutions, which leads to a decline in public confidence. public service. Emphasis is placed on the need to amend the relevant laws of Ukraine, which will be the first step towards the preparation of a single integrated bill "On Public Service in Ukraine", which should introduce fundamental principles for the functioning of public service as an institution of public interaction. It is proved that the process of transformation of the public service of Ukraine into an institution of social interaction should take place at all levels of public power through constructive social self-organization and broad involvement of citizens in the management process. The role of leaders of territorial communities is highlighted, who on the basis of constant social dialogue and partnership with the community should ensure constructive social self-organization and minimize the consequences of the crisis.
Empirical sociological reflections on transborder interactions in ukrainian and western sociology
Authors: Benchak Olesia
Published: September 2020

The purpose of the article is to analyze the experience of Ukrainian and foreign empirical sociological studies of cross-border mobility and cooperation as the main forms of cross-border interactions and to outline the subject field and methodological principles of research. The periodization of the development of theoretical sociology was used to organize the discourse of theoretical sociology on cross-border interactions. Methodological principles of sociological research of cross-border interactions are formulated. The consideration of cross-border interactions at four levels is substantiated: micro, meso, macro and inter-level. The micro level of cross-border processes is related to the experience of crossing the state border by specific entities, or trade at the local level. The mezo level relates to cross-border phenomenas that extends to regions such as regional cross-border cooperation. The macro level corresponds to cross-border processes that cover the entire territory of the state (interstate relations, international relations of national actors, interstate trade). The inter-level of cross-border phenomenas is related to the crossing of the borders of several or even many states. The use of the Pareto principle in the study of the dynamics of cross-border interactions is substantiated. The main dimensions of cross-border interactions are identified on the basis of factor analysis of the survey of Ukrainian-Slovak border residents "Information support and implementation of innovative approaches in cross-border cooperation between Slovakia and Ukraine". The toolkit of sociological research of cross-border interactions on the Ukrainian-Slovak border was constructed on the basis of expert interviews with researchers in the field of public administration, sociology, social work, representatives of public organizations and local communities of the Ukrainian-Slovak border.

L. N. Tolstoy's concept of non-resistance to evil by violence and its spiritual orientation
Authors: Kuzmenko Viacheslav
Published: September 2020

According to L. Tolstoy, the essence of human being consists in the realization of the contradiction between his inherent thirst for life and the inevitability of death. In "Confession", L. N. Tolstoy writes that the possibility of a spiritual search for a way out of the existing dilemma consists in comprehending the Orthodox faith. However, many people do not immediately come to "faith". A person’s approach to the realization of this contradiction is the highest spirituality. It is precisely in "faith" that a person is able to get rid of thoughts about the corruption of the soul, and accordingly, stop committing evil, and is able not to resist evil with violence.According to L. Tolstoy, to whom he comes, love is enclosed in the heart of man. This provision was understood not only by theologians, but also by philosophers, it is bright, life-affirming, as the thinker states, the position of love in the human heart is revealed in the commandments of Christ.In "Confession", L. N. Tolstoy writes that he came to the problem of non-resistance to evil after fifty years. I would like to note that, implicitly, he solves it both in the novel “War and Peace” and in the novel "Anna Karenina". The indicated problem is always relevant for him. Recall the images of captain Tushin and Anatol Kuragin. The author does not oppose, but completely breeds them. Contradictory, however, living in "love" is represented and the image of Bezukhov. The same can be said about Vronsky, and about Anna Karenina, and about her husband. But the thinker turned directly to the problem of non-resistance to evil after fifty years. This is clearly evidenced by his religious, journalistic and artistic works.Can a person, living in a state of non-violence, in a state of love for his neighbors, be engaged in solving private life problems, or does faith need this for sure. The thinker answers this question in Confession. Note that L. N. Tolstoy solves the problem of non-resistance to evil in its entirety, as he claims, under the influence of knowledge and life experiences, under the influence of everything that has been given to him since childhood.
Seizure of church property in Ukraine according to periodicals of 1921 – 1923
Authors: Fedorchenko Oksana
Published: September 2020

A historical analysis of the seizure of church property in Ukraine on the pages of periodicals of this period. The Soviet anti-religious policy of confiscating church property in the fight against hunger as a consequence of influencing the consciousness of the population through the prism of the Soviet and Lviv press is studied. Forms and methods of church confiscation are revealed, damages to churches and national culture of Ukraine are calculated. The Soviet press of 1921-1923 has an important historical significance, because it is with the help of these historical materials that one can explore a rather interesting, but at the same time tragic period in the history of the Orthodox Churches.The analysis of the press of that time gives an opportunity to find out what were the reasons and methods of confiscation of church values. It was investigated and established from the press that the Soviet authorities mass confiscated church property and conducted a census of property. Under the influence of famine, the Soviet government could do anything with the churches and their values, confiscating all church property en masse. After analyzing the periodicals of 1921-1923, there was not a single line of the newspaper that did not mention the seizure of church property.
Los dispositivos de la sociedad de control y el exceso de subjetividad
Authors: Gómez Villar Antonio
Published: September 2020

Partiendo de los análisis (post)operaistas, proponemos explicar la transición de los dispositivos disciplinarios a los dispositivos de la sociedad de control, como el in- tento de capturar el exceso de subjetividad y la multiplicación de formas de vida que constituyen el modo inmanente de la producción de riqueza en la economía post- fordista. El capitalismo postfordista no es tanto una estructura de explotación que se pueda comprender, exclusivamente, con relación al concepto de plusvalía, sino un dispositivo de captura y apropiación de esa producción.

Authors: De Haro Vicente
Published: September 2020

Este artículo expone los argumentos de Kant y Fichte a favor del deber ético de la beneficencia. De manera concreta, se evalúan las razones para que este deber, en sus respectivos sistemas de deberes morales, obtenga un posicionamiento particular y requiera consideraciones aparte de los criterios que, en general, estructuran dichos sistemas. Además, se hacen comentarios comparativos respecto al papel que juega la facultad de juzgar ante el margen de latitud o de juego que, en particular, implica este deber ético en uno y otro autor.

A saúde amorosa de Nanda
Authors: Casaroto Filho Cesar Marcos
Published: September 2020

No presente artigo, pretendo analisar a ética de Nanda por meio da intriga de Controle, obra de Natália Borges Polesso. Narrado em primeira pessoa pela personagem Maria Fernanda (Nanda), o romance psicológico expressa o drama existencial que coloca em contraste uma Nanda desconhecida de si mesma e ressentida com a vida e uma consciente de si mesma, desejosa de viver. Nanda deve passar por uma metamorfose amorosa, a sua cura, para compreender o mundo de uma forma menos ríspida e seca. É pela via da sexualidade que Nanda, promovendo um autoconhecimento, uma arte de si, poderá praticar uma vida menos egoísta e infeliz.
Discurso romanesco e discurso de memórias
Authors: Weinhardt Marilene
Published: September 2020

A leitura de Coração Andarilho, lançado em 2009, evoca a leitura do romance A república dos sonhos, obra de 1984. Na memória do leitor, o paralelismo pode parecer muito marcado. A Nélida memorialista traz à lembrança a personagem escritora Breta. Em que medida a experiência de vida de Nélida é aproveitada na construção de Breta pode ser, do ponto de vista factual, uma curiosidade, mas não é uma questão literária. O que se intentará apreender nesta abordagem é como funciona a constituição discursiva romanesca e a memorialista. As relações estabelecidas com o referencial não são da mesma ordem. O discurso ficcional e o discurso memorialístico serão examinados, buscando semelhanças e diferenças, no intuito de apreender os recursos que permitem criar a verdade ficcional. O aporte teórico mais consistente é buscado em Ricoeur, seja quanto à reciprocidade entre narratividade e temporalidade (1994), seja quanto ao modo de funcionamento da memória e da imaginação (2007).

What a waste?
Authors: Gańko Anna
Published: September 2020

Aim. The aim of the paper is to reflect on role of urban wastelands in context of legal and social construction of urban public spaces. This reflexion is based on analysis of what ecological values are connected with urban wastelands and how those values manifested during pandemic.

Methods. Paper is based on observatory research put in the context of theoretical reflection on urban research, especially applying to ecology and urban management.

Results.  Spontaneous social animation of urban wastelands related to restrictions placed upon using green areas by Polish government in order to stop the spread of COVID-19 in April 2020 revealed potential of such places to trace regulations introduced in public spaces resulting in transfer of some social practices to less ordered and supervised areas.

Conclusions. Nowadays urban wastelands gained appreciation as areas of specific high biodiversity and ecological value. However they can also be useful as a measure of social practices excluded from planned and highly organised urban places. They can be used to trace them and rethink legal and social circumstances that led to that exclusion.
The Family And ICT
Authors: RUŽIĆ-BAF MAJA , Kadum Sandra , DAMIĆ MANUELA
Published: September 2020

Aim. In the last three to four decades, many technological changes have taken place that have affected the world, the family and the relationships between family members. In order to determine the impact of information and communication technology on the family and its members, and how much time the research participants spend using modern technology, a survey was conducted in which 160 respondents (parents) participated.

Methods. The research used a measuring instrument designed precisely for the purposes of this research. It consisted of three independent variables (gender, parental age and child's age) and nine dependent variables grouped into three sets: electronic media and time of their use, the impact of modern technology on family relationships and impact on the health of the children of the research participants. The Likert-type scale, adapted to the needs of this research, was used.

Results. The research results show: the respondents' answers regarding the variable of “How much time your child spends using information and communication technologies (ICT)" are statistically significant (c2 = 48.650, p < .000); the correlation between the variables ("Gender" and "Do you talk to your children about the negative impact of ICT") is r = .180 and is significant at the .05 level; (3) the respondents' answers regarding the variable ("The knowledge of ICT in the early childhood is essential") are statistically significant (c2 = 43.438, p < .000); (4) the correlation between the variables ("The use of ICT affects family relationships" and "It affects the health of the child") is r = .194 and is significant at the .05 level.

Conclusion. Children no longer live under the constant supervision of their parents, but are given the freedom to develop, think and form opinions independently. As a result, they are increasingly left to different environmental influences.

Published: September 2020

When using artificial insemination in porcine reproduction, one of the most important requirements is the suitable quality of semen regarding its total motility (TM) and progressive motility (PM). Computer-assisted sperm analysis (CASA) is an appropriate method to analyse the quality of semen. Recently a portable instrument has been developed to help specialists in their everyday field work. In our study, semen quality was measured simultaneously by the portable device (Ongo) and a laboratory CASA system (Microptic) to compare TM and PM values obtained by these appliances at a concentration of 50 × 106 spermatozoa/mL. Agreement between measurements was evaluated with a Bland-Altman plot. Strong correlation was found between the investigated instruments for all the three parameters, i.e. sperm concentration, TM and PM. However, a few measurements fell outside the defined range of acceptance.

Sarecycline is a narrow-spectrum antibiotic for the treatment of acne, which is a chronic inflammatory disease of the hair follicle sebaceous glands. In the study, UPLC-MS/MS was used to establish a rapid and accurate analytical method. The sarecycline was determined with poziotinib as internal standard (IS) in rat plasma. An ACQUITY UPLC HSS T3 column (2.1 × 100 mm, 1.8 μm) could performe chromatographic separation with the mobile phase (methanol: water of 0.1% formic acid) with gradient elution. The ions of target fragment were m/z 488.19→410.14 for sarecycline and m/z 492.06→354.55 for poziotinib, which could quantify the electrospray ionization of positive multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode. The linear calibration curve of the concentration range was 1–1,000 ng/mL for sarecycline with a lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) of 1 ng/mL. The mean recovery was between 82.46 and 95.85% for sarecycline and poziotinib in rat plasma. RSD for precision of inter-day and intra-day were between 3.24 and 13.36%, and the accuracy ranged from 105.26 to 109.75%. The developed and validated method was perfectly used in the pharmacokinetic study and bioavailability of sarecycline after intravenous and oral administration in rats.

Published: September 2020

The aim of this study was to determine concentrations of retinol, β-carotene, lutein and zeaxanthin in Jersey milk during different seasons and their correlation with milk colour parameters. During a sixmonths period the Jersey cows (n=77) were kept free-stall and fed with total mixed ratio (TMR; farm season), for the next three months the
cows were kept for four hours on pasture and the rest of the day free-stall fed with TMR (transition season), and for the remaining three
months they were kept predominantly on pasture (grazing season). A bulk
milk samples (200 mL) were collected during the last week of each month
in the period between May 2018 and April 2019. Retinol and carotenoids concentrations in cow milk were quantified using high performance liquid
chromatography, while milk chemical composition was analysed by a MilkoScan FT 120 infra-red analyser. The season significantly (P<0.05) affected chemical composition of milk, and the highest (P<0.05) content of milk fat, protein and non-fat dry matter was found during the farm season. Retinol, β-carotene, lutein and zeaxanthin
concentrations (μg/100 mL) were as follows: 2.56±0.29, 4.15±0.27, 4.43±0.40 and 0.97±0.04. Lutein and retinol concentrations in Jersey milk were affected (P<0.05) by the season. The highest lutein concentration was found during the grazing season, while the farm season
yielded the highest retinol concentration. Moderate and positive correlations (P<0.05) were found between β-carotene and lutein concentrations and colour parameter b*, resulting in a more intense yellow colour i.e. high values of colour parameter b*. The obtained results suggest that milk colour could be used to estimate carotenoid concentrations in milk.

Published: September 2020

Milk of Kupres, Privor and Stolac dairy ewe breeds is used for the production of the fine cheese varieties. To the best of our knowledge there are no information about milk production and milk composition of these pasture-based dairy ewes. The aim was to determine the best lactation curve model in autochthonous pasture-based dairy ewes in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Milk production was recorded and milk composition sampled (milk fat and protein) during early, mid and late lactation in 129 Kupres, 141 Privor and 129 Stolac pramenka ewes. Four lactation models (Wilmink, Cubic, Ali-Shaeffer and Guo-Swalve) were compared and selected based on the lowest coefficient of determination and root mean square error. The Guo-Swalve model described all of the measured variables most successfully. Kupres pramenka dairy ewe was the highest producing breed with 139 kg of milk during 175 days of lactation
(0.79 kg/d; between lactation day 50 to 225) and showed the standard lactation curve. Privor pramenka produced 118 kg of milk during 175 days
of lactation (0.67 kg/d) and Stolac pramenka 101 kg of milk during 175 days of lactation (0.58 kg/d). Both showed atypical constantly decreasing shape of the lactation curve common in low producing dairy ewes. The prediction of milk yield and milk composition from the Guo-Swalve model could be used by the national breeding program for the Kupres, Privor and Stolac pramenka sheep breeds. Additional research during a more stable management conditions is recommended for Privor and
Stolac pramenka.

The aim of this study was to compare the production, health and fertility traits of Holstein Friesian (HF) and their F1 crosses with Norwegian Red cows (HF x NRF F1). Only the production data’s from finished first lactations of the total 57 HF x NRF F1 crosses and 401 HF
cows, and for health and fertility traits of 120 HF x NRF F1 crosses and 255 HF cows, were used. The differences in production traits were tested by a least square means using the GLM procedure in SAS. The milk yield in both lactation (standard 305 days and full lactation) were higher in HF x NRF F1 crosses for approximately 400 kg, but without significance. The differences in production traits (fat and protein (kg and %)) were significant (p<0.001; p<0.05) with higher values for HF x NRF F1 crosses comparing to HF cows, with exception of protein in full lactation. Regarding the fertility traits, HF x NRF F1 crosses had a
better conception rate (+1.58 %), a lower number of the insemination per pregnancy (-0.43) and a shorter duration of the service period (-22.2) comparable to HF cows. F1 crosses had better health traits (with
except for hoofs problem) comparing to HF cows, they had less cows with
mastitis (-11.9 %), ketosis (-0.5 %), retained placenta (-4.8 %) and dislocation of the abomasum (-1.0 %), respectively. Because of the fact that all results were obtained on the basis of data from the first lactation cows, it is necessary to do more analyses of all studied traits in subsequent lactations, in order to get a much clearer insight into the studied issues.

Published: September 2020

The aim of this study was to estimate the relation between milking traits and somatic cell count with electrical conductivity of goat milk during different milking phases. The research was carried out in the herd of Czech White Shorthaired and Saanen goat breeds (n=323) with the help of the electronic milk flow meter LactoCorder®. The milk yield, milking duration, milking flow rate and electrical conductivity of milk in the different phases of milking showed the significant mean differences between the breeds. Almost all (except electrical conductivity during the initial time) investigated indicators of electrical conductivity had a significant positive correlation with SCC.
The bimodality of milk flow was determined in 9.69 % of goats and associated with milk yield decrease and SCC increase (P<0.05). The results confirm that the milk flow curve data is a good tool to control milking traits of goats, to predict the prevalence of mastitis and, thus, to improve the health of the udder of goats.

O relato de história de vida à luz do pensamento de Walter Benjamin: contribuições aos estudos de identidade
Authors: Veiga Alfredo César da , Alves Cecília Pescatore
Published: September 2020

Resumo O relato de história de vida não é, como muitos pensam, uma metodologia de fácil aplicação, pelo menos em se levando em consideração o pensamento de Walter Benjamin, para quem a história não é simples relato de fatos, mas um encadeamento de experiências que nem sempre podem ser expressas sem correr riscos que, em grande medida, prejudicam ou violentam a consciência do indivíduo que faz do relato um meio para encontrar “redenção” (Erlösung) de experiências do passado marcadas de sofrimentos. Acrescente-se a isso o fato de que, segundo o autor, com a modernidade, perdeu-se a capacidade tanto de contar quanto de ouvir experiências de vida. O texto trabalha essas questões, além de buscar contribuir com os estudos sobre identidade, na perspectiva da psicologia social crítica, que utiliza o método de relato de história de vida.
A trial for improving thyroid gland dysfunction in rats by using a marine organism extract
Authors: Foda D. S. , Shams S. G.
Published: September 2020

Abstract Understanding the relation between the environmental stress factors and the hypothalamus-pituitary-thyroid (HPT) axis efficiency can reduce the susceptibility to thyroid diseases. In our study, thyroid dysfunction was induced in female rats by administration of 40 mg Na F/kg.bd.wt/day for a month. Co-administration of the water extract of Arca noae (300 mg/kg. bw) was tested as a treatment for Na F induced thyroid dysfunction. A group of rats injected Arca noae extract only (300 mg/kg.bd.wt) was performed to observe the impact of the extract on the (HPT) axis in addition to the normal control group. Results showed that there was a significant decrease in serum triglycerides, total protein and albumin levels in the fluoride supplemented group in addition to abnormal levels of TSH, (T4) and (T3) compared to the control group. In the treated group there was an improvement in the proteins level and lipid profile but pseudo-corrected serum (T4) and (T3) levels were observed in addition to a continuous increase in TSH level. Histological findings confirmed the harmful effect of fluoride on both the non treated and the treated groups. Consequently, fluoride supplementation must be considered as a harmful stress that may affect permanently the HPT axis.

Abstract Plants adjust their shoot growth to acclimate to changing environmental factors, such as to enhanced Ultraviolet-B (UV-B) radiation. However, people have ignored that plant roots can also respond to UV-B light. Here, we find the morphology curled wheat roots under UV-B radiation, that we call, “bending roots.” The curly region is the transition zone of the root after observed at the cellular level. After exposed to enhanced UV-B radiation for 2 d (10.08 KJ/m2/d), cell size decreased and actin filaments gathered in wheat roots. We also find that H2O2 production increased and that content of the indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) increased remarkably. The pharmacological experiment revealed that actin filaments gathered and polymerized into bundles in the wheat root cells after irrigated H2O2 and IAA. These results indicated that actin filaments changed their distribution and formed the “bending root,” which was related to H2O2 production and increase in IAA. Overall, actin filaments in wheat root cells could be a subcellular target of UV-B radiation, and its disruption determines root morphology.

ABSTRACT Purpose: This article aims to explore how the grounded theory (GT) was used in empirical research in the area of Organizational Studies. GT is a research strategy widely used in Business Administration studies both nationally and internationally. However, studies have little to do with how this research strategy is applied in practice and how researchers deal with difficulties that arise during the research process. Originality/value: This article presents how methodological issues not provided for in the research design proposed by the GT were overcome during the data collection and analysis phases. Design/methodology/approach: The article is based on research that aimed to understand the aging of executive women. In this article, the main codes, categories, and subcategories that emerged during the develop ment of the field research were exposed. In addition, we present the pro gress of theoretical sampling and the use of specific GT techniques, such as the flip-flop technique and the progress of the research question. Findings: As a practical implication, the article contributes to researchers who intend to use the GT, insofar they can take the step by step of using the method, as well as anticipating possible difficulties to be faced in the design of the research.

SUMMARY OBJECTIVE Monocyte count to HDL-C Ratio (MHR) and Fibrinogen to Albumin Ratio (FAR) have recently emerged as markers of inflammation in atherosclerotic diseases. Our goal was to investigate the relationships of MHR and FAR with the severity of carotid artery stenosis (CAS) in patients with asymptomatic carotid artery disease. METHODS This retrospective study consisted of 300 patients with asymptomatic CAS. Pre-angiographic MHR, FAR, and high-sensitive C-reactive protein (hsCRP) were measured. Carotid angiography was performed in patients with ≥50% stenosis on carotid ultrasonography. Patients were first split into 2 groups based on the degree of CAS and then tertiles (T) of MHR. RESULTS 96 patients had clinically insignificant CAS (<50%) (Group-1), and 204 patients had clinically significant CAS (≥50%) (Group-2). Group-2 had higher MHR, FAR, and hsCRP than group-1. Patients in T3 had higher MHR, FAR, and hsCRP than in T1 and T2. MHR, FAR, and hsCRP were correlated with each other (p<0.001, for all). MHR, FAR, and hsCRP were independent predictors of significant CAS. MHR better predicted a significant CAS than FAR and hsCRP (p<0.05). CONCLUSION Pre-angiographic MHR may be a better predictor than FAR and hsCRP in identifying a clinically significant carotid stenosis in patients with asymptomatic CAS. Patients with asymptomatic CAS and a high level of MHR should be followed-up closely to supervise risk-factor control and intensify treatment.

SUMMARY OBJECTIVE Cellulite infection is a non-necrotizing inflammation of the skin and subcutaneous tissue and is one of the most common reasons for admission to hospital. This retrospective study aimed to investigate the Neutrophil to Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR), Platelet to Lymphocyte Ratio (PLR), and Lymphocyte to Monocyte Ratio (LMR) in patients with cellulitis. METHODS In our study, we retrospectively analyzed 96 patients with cellulitis and 98 age- and sex-matched healthy controls. The study and control groups were compared regarding NLR, PLR, and LMR.0.001). When patients with cellulitis were divided into two groups, i.e., ≥65 years and <65 years, a statistically significant difference was noted in the NLR and LMR values (p < 0.05). In the ROC curve analysis, NLR had the highest discriminative power in distinguishing between cellulitis and healthy controls (AUC = 0.950, 95% CI: 0.920–0.979, p < 0.001; 91.6% sensitivity and 89.8% specificity). CONCLUSION NLR was significantly higher in differentiating cellulite and in patients older than 65 years. Larger, prospective studies are required to determine its usefulness in assessing differential diagnosis and prognosis in cellulitis patients.

SUMMARY OBJECTIVE To identify the use of Potentially Inappropriate Medications with imminent risk of Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Adverse Events (PIM-CCVAE), in addition to the factors associated with a group of elderly individuals undergoing therapeutic care in a Brazilian public service. METHODS A cross-sectional retrospective study conducted at a secondary level service located in Carapicuíba, SP, Brasil. Only elderly individuals (≥60 years) who were treated in one of the outpatient departments were included. The use of PIM-CCVAE was defined based on the PIM-CCVAEs list. In this research, we used descriptive statistics and logistic regression to identify and track possible predictors of MPI use. All statistical analyses were performed using Stata software version 15.1 (Stata Corporation). RESULTS The sample included 233 elderly individuals, with a mean age of 74.9 (± 9.4) years. Of these, 74.2% used at least one PIM-CCVAE, with an average daily intake of 1.3 (± 1) PIM/elderly. The presence of comorbidities, diseases of the circulatory system, polypharmacy, and low to moderate scores in morbidity and mortality were important factors associated with an increased odds ratio for the consumption of PIM-CCVAE. It is also emphasized that the presence of neurological symptoms proved to be a protective factor for this outcome. CONCLUSION Given the clinical severity and imminent risk of CCVAE in the researched group, preventive measures should be instituted to minimize health problems related to medication in the public network.

SUMMARY AIM To describe the prevalence of dyslipidemia in children and adolescents with autoimmune rheumatic diseases (ARDs), particularly juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), juvenile systemic lupus erythematosus (jSLE), and juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM). METHODS Retrospective cross-sectional study conducted in the pediatric rheumatology outpatient clinic. We evaluated 186 children and adolescents between the ages of 5 and 19 years. The medical records were reviewed for the following data: demographic and clinical features, disease activity, and lipid profile (triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (TC), low density lipoprotein (LDL-C), high density lipoprotein (HDL-C) and very low density lipoprotein (VLDL-C)). In addition, non-HDL cholesterol was calculated as TC minus HDL-C. The cut-off points proposed by the American Academy of Pediatrics were used to classify the lipid profile. RESULTS Dyslipidemia was observed in 128 patients (68.8%), the most common being decreased HDL-C (74 patients, 39.8%). In the JIA group there was an association between the systemic subtype and altered LDL-C and NHDL-C, which demonstrated a more atherogenic profile in this subtype (p=0.027 and p=0.017, respectively). Among patients with jSLE, the cumulative corticosteroid dose was associated with an increase in LDL-C (p=0.013) and with a decrease in HDL-C (p=0.022). CONCLUSION Dyslipidemia is common in children and adolescents with ARDs, especially JIA, jSLE, and JDM, and the main alteration in the lipid profile of these patients was decreased HDL-C.

SUMMARY BACKGROUND Hepcidin is an important regulator of iron homeostasis. OBJECTIVES This cross-sectional study was conducted to evaluate the association between hepcidin and components of metabolic syndrome in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). DESIGN AND SETTING 103 CKD patients and 59 healthy volunteers were included in the study from the University Hospital. METHODS Serum hepcidin levels were measured by enyzme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) test. As for the study parameters, age, sex, body mass index, renal diseases, serum biochemistry, complete blood count, iron and total iron-binding capacity, ferritin, high-sensitive C-reactive protein (hsCRP), C- reactive protein (CRP), and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) were evaluated. RESULTS The mean age of the patients was 58.63 ± 11.8 years. Hepcidin level was significantly associated with hypertension and higher uric acid levels (P < 0.05). There was a positive correlation between hepcidin and urea, uric acid, creatinine, ferritin, CRP, ESR, phosphorus, triglyceride, low-density lipoprotein (LDL), proteinuria and albuminuria in 24-hour urine collection. A negative correlation was found between hepcidin and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), hemoglobin, hematocrit, calcium, 25 OH vitamin D, pH, and bicarbonate levels. CONCLUSION Hepcidin, a well-known hormone regulator of iron metabolism, may play an important role in the pathogenesis of metabolic syndrome in patients with CKD, and further studies might delineate in-depth its potential as a promising early marker in these patients.
