Texture-based Global Illumination for Physics-Based Light Propagation in Interactive Web Applications
Authors: Roth Adrian ,   University of Applied Sciences and Arts, Northwestern Switzerland, Hochschule für Technik, Cords Hilko ,   University of Applied Sciences and Arts, Northwestern Switzerland, Hochschule für Technik
Published: July 2024

Lamps are difficult to market via websites. Renderings and photographs of showrooms rarely fit consumer preferences and demands and the technical specifications for lighting are unintuitive and difficult to understand for non-experts. This poses a challenge for lighting system manufacturers and suppliers, as customers increasingly make purchases online. Giving customers the option to see how a lamp affects the environment would provide them with an intuitive way to find a suitable product. Unfortunately, expensive global illumination rendering methods are required to accurately simulate the effect of a specific lamp on the environment. However, contemporary methods are not suited for low-end consumer hardware or interactive web-applications. Therefore, we present a new texture-based global illumination method that simulates the effect of specific lamps on complex, polygonal 3D geometries on the GPU. Our method employs iterative light propagation to pre-compute the illumination in texture space, leveraging GPU-based bounding volume hierarchies. Our method can provide pre-calculated physics-based lighting on demand in under a second for interactive scenarios in browsers using WebGl - outperforming state-of-the-art offline renderers significantly.
PLOD: Point cloud level of detail for polygon mesh
Authors: Konks Eric ,   Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, Shcherbakov Alexandr ,   Lomonosov Moscow State University
Published: July 2024

Rendering high-polygonal models at large distances has certain performance issues related to high density of subpixel triangles, which can be solved by levels of detail, a classical optimization method. Since a mesh occupies a small area on the screen, an alternative representation of the geometry in the form of a point cloud can replace the original geometry with little or no change to the image, and allowing for significant performance improvements due to the smaller number of primitives rendered. This paper presents a method for automatically generating a point cloud from a polygonal mesh with nested levels of detail. It also considers a method for rendering cloud with dynamically varying cloud density in real time based on view frustum and distance.
SEL-CIE: Self-Supervised Learning Framework for CIE-XYZ Reconstruction from Non-Linear sRGB Images
Authors: Barzel Shir ,   Tel Aviv University, Salhov Moshe , Lindenbaum Ofir , Averbuch Amir ,   Playtika LTD,   Bar Ilan University,   Tel Aviv University
Published: July 2024

Modern cameras typically offer two types of image states: a minimally processed linear raw RGB image representing the raw sensor data, and a highly-processed non-linear image state, such as the sRGB state. The CIE-XYZ color space is a device-independent linear space used as part of the camera pipeline and can be helpful for computer vision tasks, such as image deblurring, dehazing, and color recognition tasks in medical applications, where color accuracy is important. However, images are usually saved in non-linear states, and achieving CIE-XYZ color images using conventional methods is not always possible. To tackle this issue, classical methodologies have been developed that focus on reversing the acquisition pipeline. More recently, supervised learning has been employed, using paired CIE-XYZ and sRGB representations of identical images. However, obtaining a large-scale dataset of CIE-XYZ and sRGB pairs can be challenging. To overcome this limitation and mitigate the reliance on large amounts of paired data, self-supervised learning (SSL) can be utilized as a substitute for relying solely on paired data. This paper proposes a framework for using SSL methods alongside paired data to reconstruct CIE-XYZ images and re-render sRGB images, outperforming existing approaches. The proposed framework is applied to the sRGB2XYZ dataset.
Beyond the Benchmark: Detecting Diverse Anomalies in Videos

Published: July 2024

Video Anomaly Detection (VAD) plays a crucial role in modern surveillance systems, aiming to identify various anomalies in real-world situations. However, current benchmark datasets predominantly emphasize simple, single-frame anomalies such as novel object detection. This narrow focus restricts the advancement of VAD models. In this research, we advocate for an expansion of VAD investigations to encompass intricate anomalies that extend beyond conventional benchmark boundaries. To facilitate this, we introduce two datasets, HMDB-AD and HMDB-Violence, to challenge models with diverse action-based anomalies. These datasets are derived from the HMDB51 action recognition dataset. We further present Multi-Frame Anomaly Detection (MFAD), a novel method built upon the AI-VAD framework. AI-VAD utilizes single-frame features such as pose estimation and deep image encoding, and two-frame features such as object velocity. They then apply a density estimation algorithm to compute anomaly scores. To address complex multi-frame anomalies, we add a deep video encoding features capturing long-range temporal dependencies, and logistic regression to enhance final score calculation. Experimental results confirm our assumptions, highlighting existing models limitations with new anomaly types. MFAD excels in both simple and complex anomaly detection scenarios.

Published: July 2024

The growing conditions of sturgeon fish affect the growth and physiological state, their morphological characteristics. The study of changes in physiological processes under the influence of a complex of factors in the conditions of cage complexes and closed water supply systems will allow for timely adjustment of technology and reduce risks when growing commercial products. The repair and breeding herds of fish breeding enterprises contain sterlet individuals of different ages, which annually, upon reaching puberty, enter the fish breeding process as producers. In this regard, we have studied the main morphophysiological indicators of two-year-olds kept in cages and in closed water supply installations (CWSI). The influence of environmental factors was noted not only on growth indicators, but also on the size of the internal organs of fish and their condition. The unstable temperature regime in the cages, dependence on unpredictable changes in the hydrochemical parameters of the aquatic environment contributes to deep physiological transformations of an adaptive nature, which slows down the growth rate and accumulation of reserve substances. Changes in morphometric parameters were also evident. In sturgeon, there is an increase in the relative weight of the heart, spleen and gonads, a decrease in the weight of the kidneys and liver. The influence of optimal temperature and trophic conditions on the index of the gastrointestinal tract was noted, which was slightly lower in fish from the CWSI than in individuals exposed to negative factors in cages. Sterlet blood counts, regardless of the conditions of detention, corresponded to physiologically healthy individuals. The creation of optimal hydrological and trophic conditions in CWSI contribute to the accumulation of phospholipids and linolenic fatty acids in tissues, which play an important role in the adaptation of the body to negative environmental factors.

Published: July 2024

The EPURA field is one of the oil and gas producing fields in the South Sumatra Basin, where well completion has been carried out in the Talang Akar Formation, and the production test results are interpreted to mean that in wells EP-13, EP-14, EP-15, EP-16, EP-17 and EP-23 contain several reservoir zones that have the potential to contain hydrocarbons. This research with facies interpretation analysis uses data from six wells (wireline, mudlog, RCAL and lithology data), so it is hoped that it can provide more detailed information for the development of an oil and gas field. The analysis carried out is in the form of facies analysis, depositional environment, electrofacies and facies correlation. From the research results, it was found that the Talang Akar Formation has depositional facies in the form of a fluvial, which in this study is the Lower Talang Akar Formation with depositional facies in the form of channel, Crevasse Splay, point bar and flood plain. Based on the analysis results, the Talang Akar Formation is divided into 3 reservoir zones, namely Zone EP-1, EP-2, and EP-3. After going through all stages of petrophysical analysis, it was found that zones with high hydrocarbon potential were found in wells EP-13, EP-23 and EP-16. The wells with low hydrocarbon potential are EP-14, EP-15 and EP-17 wells. The zone of highest hydrocarbon potential in prospect wells is in the EP-1 zone with a Crevasse Splay facies association and has thick sandstone lithology characteristics with medium to fine grain size.

Published: July 2024

Coal mining process using open pit mining method is closely related to slope stability. A slope whose stability is disturbed will have a higher potential for landslides. The slope stability analysis in this research is conducted by Limit Equilibrium Method (LEM) with the calculation of Morgenstern-pice slice method and Finite Element Method (FEM) with the calculation of Shear Strength Reduction. The highwall simulation was modeled with a Bench height of 10 meters, Bench width of 6.5 meters and bench tilt angle varying between 30°, 45°, 60° and groundwater condition using steady state FEA. From the results of the LEM analysis on the highwall with a bench tilt angle of 30 °, 45 °, 60 ° has a safety factor value of 1.005; 0.76; 0.584. While the results of the FEM analysis on the highwall with a bench tilt angle of 30 °, 45 °, 60 ° have a Strength Reduction Factor value of 0.98; 0.72; 0.57. Comparison of the safety factor values of the two methods has an average difference of 1-2%. This is because the FEM takes into account the stress-strain in the material which describes how the material behaves. The stable slope design based on LEM is a highwall slope with a Bench slope angle of 22° which has a safety factor value of 1.478 and based on FEM is a highwall slope with a Bench slope angle of 22° which has a Strength Reduction Factor value of 1.42.

Published: July 2024

National well-being, a cornerstone of nation-building, faces a persistent challenge in Cirebon Regency's high and fluctuating poverty rate. Although the General Allocation Fund (DAU) and Special Allocation Fund (DAK) are intended to promote economic growth, reduce unemployment, and combat poverty, their effectiveness, particularly within a decentralized fiscal framework, warrants investigation. This study analyzes the impact of both DAU and DAK on poverty reduction in Cirebon Regency through quantitative methods and secondary data from library research and government publications.Findings reveal a partial negative and significant impact of DAK on poverty (p < 0.05, t = -3.353), suggesting its effectiveness in poverty reduction. Conversely, DAU shows no statistically significant independent effect (p > 0.05, t = -2.213). However, their combined effect is positive and significant (p < 0.05, F = 5.088), highlighting the potential of synchronized DAU and DAK allocation for enhanced poverty reduction.These findings suggest that while DAU alone may not be statistically significant, comprehensive fiscal decentralization policies incorporating both DAU and DAK hold greater promise for tackling poverty in Cirebon Regency and potentially similar contexts.

Dynamic clustering of Asian regionalisms: Empirical testing of United Nations multilateral treaty participation by social network analysis
Authors: Le Lien Thi Quynh , Ho Dung Quoc
Published: July 2024

This paper investigates the evolving clustering and historical progression of “Asian regionalisms” concerning their involvement in multilateral treaties deposited in the United Nations system. We employ criteria such as geographic proximity, historical connections, cultural affinities, and economic interdependencies to identify twenty-eight candidate countries from East Asia, Southeast Asia, South Asia, and Central Asia for this empirical testing. Using a social network analysis approach, we model the network of these twenty-eight Asian state actors alongside 600 major treaties from the United Nations system, identifying clusters among Asian states by assessing similarities in their treaty participation behavior. Specifically, we observe dynamic changes in these clusters across three key historical eras: Post-war reconstruction and transformation (1945–1968), Cold War tensions and global transformations (1969–1989), and post-Cold War era and globalization (1990–present). Employing the Louvain cluster detection algorithm, the results reveal the evolution in cluster numbers and changes in membership status throughout the world timeline. The results also identify the current situation of six distinct Asian clusters based on states’ inclinations to engage or abstain from multilateral treaties across six policy domains. These findings provide a foundation for further research on the trajectories of Asian regionalisms amidst evolving global dynamics and offer insights into potential alliances, cooperation, or conflicts within the region.

Published: July 2024

This paper aims to explore how developing countries like Indonesia have an approach to managing talent to enhance career development using an application system. The application of talent management in the career development of civil servants in Indonesia includes planning, implementing, monitoring, and evaluating career development. Talent management is essential for the government sector and can help improve employee quality, organizational performance, and the achievement of human potential. This research aims to examine the application of talent management in organizations and develop a state civil apparatus information system (SI-ASN) to support the career development process of civil servants. The research methods used include library research and field research, including interviews with competent officials in West Java Province as primary data. The qualitative data was collected in 2022–2023. The results of this study show that the application of talent management for civil servants in Indonesia is considered appropriate, as it directs employees to positions that are in line with their qualifications, competencies and performance. However, it requires an improvement in the methods used, particularly for competency tests, which may be conducted with new methods that are more efficient in terms of budget and time. The study concluded that the application of talent management in the career development of civil servants in Indonesia has a positive impact on the quality of leaders and organizations because it ensures that the appointed leaders are the most competent ones in the field and shows the importance of talent management in succession planning and the career development of civil servants.
memoria histórica y el franquismo. El documental feminista español durante el gobierno de Mariano Rajoy (2011-2018)
Authors: Otero Escudero Sofía , Cobo Durán Sergio
Published: July 2024

La memoria histórica se basa en la recuperación de los derechos de las víctimas y familiares sobre las violencias sufridas en la guerra civil y el franquismo. En 2007 el PSOE creó la Ley de Memoria Histórica y, posteriormente, durante el Gobierno de Mariano Rajoy (PP) de 2011 hasta 2018, se eliminó el presupuesto dedicado a ello. Ante esto, las creaciones culturales y particularmente el cine, tienen la posibilidad de visibilizar ciertas voces silenciadas y ofrecer a la audiencia una perspectiva diferente respecto al pasado. En la presente investigación se analizan qué tipo de contranarrativas documentales se impulsaron entre 2011 hasta 2018 ante el vacío político respecto a la memoria histórica, concluyendo además si estas tienen una tendencia feminista o no. El corpus de trabajo está compuesto por los documentales dirigidos por mujeres: Cartas a María (Maite García Ribot, 2014), Pero que todos sepan que no he muerto (Andrea Weiss, 2017), Muga deitzen da pausoa (Maider Oleaga, 2018) y Ojo Guareña (Edurne Rubio, 2018). Ante el análisis, se identifican diversos puntos comunes como la noción de colectividad, las experiencias personales, la focalización interna y la visibilidad del aparato cinematográfico, entre otras.
“El futuro es de la mujer porque el pasado es del hombre”. La recuperación del cine de Nadia Werba en España (1965-1967)
Authors: Cerdán Josetxo , Rodríguez García de Herreros Lucía
Published: July 2024

La pintora y cineasta Nadia Werba, afincada hace tiempo en Italia pero residente en Madrid durante unos diez años a partir de 1956, realizó en los años 60 cuatro cortometrajes documentales con un estilo observacional muy particular: San Juan del Toro (1965), Maestros del duende (1966), Unos chicos, unas chicas (1966) y Catch (1967). Además de su valor cinematográfico, estos trabajos tienen interés como retrato sociológico, puesto que muestran diferentes aspectos de la España de su tiempo, desde el mundo taurino al yeyé, pasando por la lucha libre. Como parte del interés actual de los estudios fílmicos feministas por la memoria de directoras olvidadas, este texto pretende recuperar la figura de Werba y, en especial, su producción de documentales en su periodo en España. Para ello, se utilizará el trabajo de archivo, pero, sobre todo, se documentarán los procesos de restauración que se han realizado en Filmoteca Española a partir de los materiales cinematográficos atribuidos a la directora y disponibles en sus fondos.
Prácticas ecofeministas en el cine documental: territorio, relaciones más-que-humanas y cuidados en la obra de Maddi Barber
Authors: Cordal Ariadna
Published: July 2024

En los últimos años, el posicionamiento crítico ecofeminista ha apuntado nuevas posibilidades de entender una tendencia incipiente del documental experimental que se acerca a la emergencia climática a través de la representación del entorno y las relaciones más-que-humanas. Este artículo propone determinar temáticas, discursos y formas de esta tendencia a través de la obra de la cineasta navarra Maddi Barber, conocida por sus documentales 592 metroz goiti (2018) y Urpean lurra (2019) sobre los efectos de la construcción de la presa y el embalse de Itoiz. Su filmografía presenta temáticas que giran alrededor de la memoria, de la pertenencia al territorio, de la gestión del entorno y de la responsabilidad en las relaciones con entidades no-humanas. Por lo tanto, este análisis por un lado repara en cómo las perspectivas relacional y multiespecie modifican las formas de representación del territorio, y por otro, profundiza en el proceso creativo y las redes de colaboración fílmicas basadas en los cuidados que sostiene Maddi Barber. Así, contribuye a delinear una propuesta de prácticas ecofeministas en el cine documental que se extiende más allá de la obra de la cineasta.
Ceci n’est pas un tas de pavés.
Authors: Carrera Pilar
Published: July 2024

El análisis de la dimensión documental de la fotografía se ha centrado esencialmente en su capacidad para constituirse en “huella del pasado” o ilustrar determinados acontecimientos históricos. Esta dimensión funcional, vinculada a un supuesto valor veredictorio, ha ocultado el abundante uso dogmático y la dimensión política de la noción de documento fotográfico. Pero, en realidad, una fotografía solo se documenta a sí misma. Y es precisamente en esta dimensión autorreferencial donde se inscribe su valor histórico y político. A través del análisis de una fotografía de Gustave Le Gray (1820-1884), abordamos esa resistencia de la imagen a la documentalidad entendida ésta en su acepción común y normativa.
Masculinidad y autoviolencia: representación del pasado, crisis del relato marco y desviaciones de la focalización en Aftersun (Charlotte Wells, 2022)
Authors: Planes Pedreño José Antonio , Juárez Rodríguez Javier
Published: July 2024

Con este artículo, proponemos un análisis interdisciplinar de una obra cinematográfica de especial relevancia estética y temática como es Aftersun (Charlotte Welles, 2022), toda vez que expone los nocivos efectos que, aún hoy, arrastran los modelos de masculinidades y paternidades hegemónicos en los propios hombres: por un lado, desvela cómo tales efectos emergen a la luz de unas autoexigencias marcadas por los códigos, roles, estereotipos y creencias arraigados en imaginarios sociales y culturales; por otro, advierte de la autoviolencia como respuesta inconsciente ante la presión de las obligaciones y mandatos que, inherentes al paradigma tradicional, las varonías esperadas imponen y que, a la postre, resultan imposibles de asumir. El filme de la directora británica explora asuntos apenas visibilizados en el medio cinematográfico, y lo hace a través de una singular disposición narrativa donde las anacronías temporales y el ejercicio de la memoria desempeñan una función esencial a fin de transmitir hasta qué extremo estos modelos pueden heredarse sin vislumbrar las causas que abocan al género masculino a un destino trágico. De este modo, la teoría narratológica nos permite esclarecer los fenómenos narrativos que caracterizan al largometraje, para, a continuación, discernir su discurso con arreglo a una perspectiva de género.

Published: July 2024

The present article explores the importance of vineyard soil management. Studies on under-vine management have yielded a wide range of results, with some indicating potential benefits for vine growth and productivity. However, the methods of under-vine management and their specific effects on vineyard parameters require further research. The aim of this study is to evaluate the relationships existing between the different types of management of under-vine areas and the vegetation grown in this zone and to determine the effects of under-vine management on the yield and quality of Traminer grapevines. By examining various approaches, the research aims to provide insights into the optimising of vineyard management methods to achieve enhanced biodiversity and grape quality in this specific geographical context. The findings indicated that management of the under-vine area can impact the composition of plants, grape yield and quality. Under-row management had an effect on the number of plant species and their composition. The highest weight of bunches was found in MIX (a species from the Fabaceae family), while the lowest was found in the MECH treatment (bare soil). MULCH, MONO and MIX consistently had higher yeast assimilable nitrogen (YAN) in grapes than other treatments. In many of the evaluated parameters, the influence of the seasons was evident.

Authors: Xia Leixiang , Yu Jun , Jiang Kuncai , Hu Zhiyi , Xie Yunshan
Published: July 2024

This paper proposes a digital camouflage generation method based on an improved CycleGAN to produce camouflage patterns with a high degree of fusion with the background and realistic texture details. Firstly, a SE-ResNet network structure is constructed by combining the residual network ResNet with the channel attention mechanism SENet, enabling flexible adjustment of channel weights to effectively extract crucial channel features and enhance the network's perception capability of important information in images. Secondly, a color preservation loss is introduced to improve the adversarial loss function, thereby avoiding training instability and fluctuation in pattern quality. Experimental results demonstrate that the camouflage patterns generated using the proposed method achieve a Structural Similarity Index (SSIM) of 0.77 and a Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) of 18.9, representing improvements of 0.27 and 3.3, respectively, compared to the original CycleGAN. This method can generate digital camouflage patterns with richer details, textures, and high fusion with the background.

Origin of calcite by magma mixing in mingled rocks of the Ghansura Rhyolite Dome, Bathani volcano-sedimentary sequence, eastern India
Authors: Gogoi Bibhuti , Basumatary Pallabi
Published: July 2024

The Ghansura Rhyolite Dome (GRD) is an integral part of the Bathani volcano-sedimentary sequence (BVSs), which in turn is a vital component of the Chotanagpur Granite Gneiss Complex (CGGC), eastern India. The rhyolite dome represents a shallow-level felsic magma chamber that underwent intrusion by basaltic magma during its evolution. The rocks present in the felsic dome such as basalts, rhyolites, and intermediate hybrid rocks preserve evidence of magma mixing and mingling. The objective of this contribution is to take into account, for the first time, that magma mixing processes can play an important role in the generation of calcite in magmatic rocks. The present study focuses on the mingled rocks exposed within the rhyolite dome. Previous reports have documented the existence of two distinct zones (mafic and felsic) interfacing each other in the mingled rocks of the rhyolite dome. The mafic zones dominantly consist of mineral phases such as actinolite, hornblende, biotite, plagioclase, ilmenite, calcite, and titanite. The felsic zones comprise quartz, K-feldspar, plagioclase, and biotite. When mafic magma intruded into the felsic magma chamber, interaction between the mafic and felsic magmas caused diffusion of H, Al, and K ions from the felsic to the mafic endmember. Such diffusive activities resulted in the breakdown of augite, already crystallized in the mafic magma, to form newer minerals like actinolite, hornblende, biotite, calcite, and ilmenite. The presence of ilmenite in the mingled rocks indicates the prevalence of reducing conditions during magma interaction and evolution. Breakdown of hornblende to biotite in such a reduced environmental condition led to the formation of calcite in the mingled rocks. From the results presented in this work, we are proposing that magma mixing can be a viable mechanism to form calcite in igneous rocks by magmatic processes.

Las disputas urbanas en torno al agua, aunque han sido un tema constante en ciudades de todo el mundo, solo recientemente han impulsado análisis interdisciplinarios, especialmente desde enfoques teóricos llamados híbridos como la ecología política urbana, que busca desentrañar la compleja relación entre lo político y el recurso hídrico en ámbitos metropolitanos. Este artículo se centra en analizar las alteraciones en el ciclo hidrosocial de Ecatepec, de la Zona Metropolitana del Valle de México, provocadas por el "huachicoleo" (robo de agua mediante tomas clandestinas) y sus consecuencias políticas. Se indaga si el huachicoleo busca, hacer valer los derechos políticos de los ciudadanos carentes del recurso y desmantelar las redes políticas-clientelares ligadas a la precariedad hídrica. A diferencia de otros estudios, este análisis no se limita a las estrategias empleadas por aquellos que ostentan el poder sobre aquellos que carecen de él, sino que se adentra en las complejidades de la interacción. La metodología incluyó trabajo de campo y entrevistas semiestructuradas a vecinos y empleados del organismo operador de aguas del municipio durante los años 2020 y 2021. Se concluye que, aunque el huachicoleo no busca primordialmente desafiar las redes de poder que limitan los derechos políticos, ha tenido un impacto disruptivo en los flujos de agua y las dinámicas de poder en la región.

Objetivo: Dada a importância da sustentabilidade na cadeia de suprimentos, o objetivo deste estudo foi analisar o efeito do dano ambiental do fornecedor na percepção dos gestores sobre a necessidade de desenvolver Capacidades Dinâmicas de Compras Verdes (CDCV), e se esse efeito é mediado pela preocupação ambiental.
Metodologia/abordagem: – Este estudo empregou um experimento baseado em vinheta do tipo fatorial. Os participantes foram 267 profissionais americanos com experiencia em gestão. As hipóteses foram testadas por meio da análise de regressão múltipla.
Originalidade/Relevância: Este estudo é um dos primeiros a analisar o papel da gestão na tomada de decisão sobre o desenvolvimento de CDCV, bem como, analisa o efeito da origem do dano ambiental e a forma como gestor foi inserido no contexto da seleção do fornecedor.
Principais conclusões: A responsabilidade pela seleção do fornecedor não apresentou efeito direto na necessidade de desenvolver CDCV. A controlabilidade pela origem do dano ambiental não modera do efeito da responsabilidade pela seleção do fornecedor na necessidade de desenvolvimento de CDCV. Porém, a preocupação ambiental medeia o efeito da responsabilidade na necessidade de desenvolvimento de CDCV.
Contribuições teóricas/metodológicas: Os achados motivaram para elucidar como os aspectos externos e internos da empresa em relação aos danos ambientais do fornecedor interagem nas Capacidades Dinâmicas de Compra Verdes.

Background. Characteristics of commensal and pathogenic species of Staphylococcus spp. and their contribution in atopic dermatitis (AD) and psoriasis pathogenesis remains to be understudied.
Aims. The aim of our study was identification of Staphylococcus spp. skin colonization in patients with AD and psoriasis.
Methods. The study included 34 patients with AD and 35 patients with psoriasis. The material was taken from lesional and normal skin of body and scalp. We used cultural and molecular biological research methods for further evaluation. The data were statistically processed.
Results. Mean SCORAD for AD patients who carries toxigenic S. aureus strains (2) was 57.43 ± 9.75, in group without toxigenic S. aureus strains (1) mean SCORAD was lower — 37.90 ± 8.63 (р = 0.054). Mean SCORAD for AD patients who carries S. epidermidis strains, toxigenic and non-toxigenic S. aureus strains (3) was 51.3 ± 12.75, difference between group 2 and 3 was insignificant (р = 0,18). Mean PASI for psoriasis patients-carriers S. aureus strains was 27.1 ± 11.35, mean PASI for psoriasis patients-carriers S. epidermidis strains was 20.9 ± 9.07. Difference between this groups was statistically insignificant (р = 0.42). All strains of S. aureus were carriers of pathogenicity factors, about 90% of strains being able to produсe secreted toxins.
Conclusion. This study reveals some aspects of skin colonization by Staphylococcus spp. in patients with AD and psoriasis. We identify some correlations between severity of inflammatory disease and characteristics of microorganism’s strain.
