Authors: Bozhko K. M. , Dubina A. O. , Matsyuk V. O. 
Published: February 2021

A detailed study of the relationships between all components of each biogeocenosis is needed for its in-depth investigation. According to the concept of biogeocenoses developed by V. M. Sukachev, soil is one of the five components of biogeocenosis being its resulting unit. Soil is a bioinert component body of biogeocenosis. Playing the role of a subsystem, it is characterized by self-regulation, stability, direct and feedback mechanisms, self-restoring fertility, a specific biological cycle of substances and energy flow against the background of a specific natural geographical area. When the soil testing, its chemical, physical, water, micromorphological properties should be determined, and, above all, a total humus content and quality. Humus affects all important soil properties. In fertility, its essential role consists in a nutrient source as a factor that has a physiological effect on plants. A role of humus in improving the physical, thermal and water properties of soils is well-known. The total content and group composition of humus are also determined during the diagnosis and classification of soils. For a more detailed description of humus, Grishina and Orlov proposed a system of indicators of soils humus condition. This is a level of humus content and reserves, its profile distribution, type of humus, degree of humification, etc. In this work, we made an attempt to diagnose the soils of ravined biogeocenoses and steppe virgin lands in Dnipropetrovsk region on the basis of a number of the above parameters. To compare, the common steppe virgin chernozem and forest chernozems of the northern and southern variants of the ravines were used. The study was carried out in the fresh linden-ash oakery (the Kapitanovsky Bayrak) and in the fresh maple oakery (the Viyskovoy Bayrak) occured in the middle part of the slopes of the northern exposition. The paper presents data on the study of the ravined forest biogeocenoses influence on the total content and qualitative composition of soil humus in the northern and southern variants of Dnipropetrovsk region in comparison with the steppe virgin soil. It was established that the total humus content and reserves in the layer of 0–20 cm increased and varied from moderate to high under the influence of ravined forest vegetation; the type of humus turns from humate to fulvate-humate, which has a positive effect on plant growth and development, as it makes nutrients more mobile and available to plants. Under the influence of forest vegetation in the ravines, the soil humus condition improved, namely, the total humus content and reserves in the 20 cm layer varied from moderate to high, and the type of humus turned from humate to fulvate-humate. Our data confirmed O. L. Belgard and A. P. Travleev provisions that forests in the steppe zone effect positively on soil properties, in particular their humus condition, in contrast to the forest zone.

Bu çalışma ile; bir toplum sağlığı merkezine başvuran kişilerin nikotin bağımlılık düzeylerini ve bağımlılık üzerine etkili faktörleri tespit etmek amaçlanmıştır.
Çalışma; kasım-2019 nisan-2020 yılları arasında altı aylık süreçte Karabük Toplum Sağlığı Merkezinde (TSM) yürütülmüştür. Çalışmaya 302 kişi katılmıştır. Çalışma öncesi, TC Karabük Üniversitesi Girişimsel Olmayan Klinik Araştırmalar etik kurulundan ve TC Karabük Valiliği İl Sağlık Müdürlüğü’nden araştırma izni alınmıştır. Bireylere başvuru esnasında bazı sosyodemografik özelliklerini araştıran bir anket ve Fagerström Nikotin Bağımlılık Testi (FNBT) uygulanmıştır.
Araştırma grubunun yaş ortalaması 39,7±12,2 yıldır ve %61,6’sı (n:186) erkektir. Fagerstrom testi sonuçlarına göre, sigara içenlerin %70,9’u 5 ve üzerinde puan almıştır. Erkek ve kadın bireyler arasında nikotin bağımlılık şiddeti açısından, erkeklerde bağımlılık düzeyi rakamsal olarak yüksek olmakla birlikte, istatistiksel anlamlı bir farklılık bulunmamıştır. Bekar kişilerdeki orta ve yüksek düzeydeki bağımlılık oranının (%90,6) evli kişilerdeki bağımlılık oranına göre (%77,9) daha yüksek olduğu gözlenmiştir. Eğitim durumu yüksek kişilerde sigara bağımlılık düzeyinin istatistiksel anlamlı olmamakla birlikte, sayısal olarak daha düşük olduğu tespit edilmiştir. İstatistiksel olmamakla birlikte; hiç alkol kullanmayan gruptaki birey sayıları her üç bağımlılık düzeyinde de fazladır. Fagestrom toplam skorunun BKİ ile pozitif yönde zayıf bir ilişkisi tespit edilmiştir.
Nikotin bağımlılığında etkili olduğu düşünülen günün ilk sigarası, sigara içme süresi, yasak olan yerlerde sigara içme konusunda zorlanma, kişilerin vazgeçemedikleri günün ilk sigarası, günlük sigara sayısı, sabah fazla sigara içme ve yatan hasta da olsa sigara içeceğini düşünmeye göre ayrı ayrı nikotin bağımlılık düzeyleri incelendiğinde; bağımlılık düzeyleri arasında istatistiksel anlamlılık tespit edilmiştir.

Published: February 2021

There is an eye disease called Keratoconus (KC) which has potential to cause visual acuity loss; hence, it can be considered as disability due to its severity. There are some limitations in current method in detecting cornea region’s boarder edge. Primary objective for the paper need to identify the structural description of disease’ asymmetry with the help of Morpho-geometric parameters relates with the keratoconous eyes along by means of slight visual control. It also includes the application of Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) analysis which is sort of Neural Network in which previous step’s output are sent to present step as an input. In order to determine most prominent correlation, Stepwise Discriminant Function Analysis is used in analyzing output. The Prominent correlation was identified between thinnest point in the anterior deviation and thinnest point in the posterior deviations of minor keratoconic cases. MATLAB R2014 software is used to implement the framework and analyses of simulation results were performed.

<p id="docs-internal-guid-6b5e3939-7fff-0fe2-6892-1241cc7b446e" dir="ltr">A proposta do artigo é analisar a página “Me Solta Amapá”, publicada na rede social Facebook, como espaço de conversação on-line, de forma a compreender aproximações ou vestígios de uma arena pré-deliberativa, potencialmente articulada a outras esferas de deliberação, no que entendemos ser a cadeia deliberativa formada de escalas variadas e interdependentes. A pesquisa está inserida em um conjunto de investigações no campo da Comunicação Política que busca observar o espaço da internet (potencialidades e desafios), para o exercício da participação política. A página em análise é um dos espaços virtuais com número de inscritos e curtidas superior ao de meios de comunicação locais e chama a atenção pela adesão dos inscritos e participação nos comentários sobre assuntos e fatos de interesse da comunidade local. Por meio de metodologia sugerida para observar os processos deliberativos on-line (Marques, 2011), procuramos apontar como a conversação na página se aproxima ou apresenta vestígios de uma ambiência deliberativa, bem como atende aos preceitos da conversação no contexto de uma arena de deliberação democrática (Mansbridge, 1999). Como elementos conclusivos, destacamos que, apesar dos níveis de discussão apontarem para aspectos pouco reflexivos, com níveis de argumentação pouco densos e sustentação prioritária em pontos de vistas particulares, a página é vista como espaço de identificação entre os usuários, com níveis de discussão e troca de opinião fortemente associada a questões e demandas locais. </p><p dir="ltr"> </p>
Controle social e lutas quilombolas no Maranhão: cruzando saberes para a garantia de direitos territoriais

Published: February 2021

<p>Esta pesquisa analisa a relação de produção de saberes construídos em processos formativos integrativos do mundo acadêmico ao universo das lutas quilombolas no Estado do Maranhão. Toma como metodologia privilegiada para tal análise a etnografia nos interstícios, que se assenta na indissociável relação entre teoria e prática, sujeito pesquisador – sujeito pesquisado. Efetiva-se através da observação de um Projeto de Formação de Lideranças Quilombolas para o exercício do Controle Social desenvolvido entre os meses de abril a dezembro de 2015. Verificou-se que, ao acessar os saberes do campo acadêmico é (im)provável que as lideranças quilombolas inseridas nesses contextos formativos possam exercer o controle social de suas políticas públicas e transcender de sua condição de alvos do direito, para sujeitos sociais que se organizam na busca e efetivação de tais direitos de forma mais autônoma.</p>
Currículo Intercultural como Política Linguística: a proposta de uma licenciatura em Letras Português/Línguas Indígenas
Authors: Fraga Leticia , Couto Ligia Paula , Araujo Braga Lucimar 
Published: February 2021

<p>O Brasil é um país com imensa diversidade linguística, mas a política linguística de Estado vigente defende o monolinguismo em língua portuguesa desde o início da colonização. A possibilidade de uma escola indígena bilíngue e intercultural começa a se desenhar com nossa Constituição (1988) que, em seu artigo 210, parágrafo 2º, estabelece, no ensino fundamental, aulas em língua portuguesa, preservando o direito das comunidades indígenas a utilizarem as línguas maternas e seus processos próprios de aprendizagem. Esse documento criou a necessidade de formação de docentes indígenas para atuar no ensino bilíngue e intercultural na educação escolar indígena. Considerando este princípio constitucional, este artigo objetiva tratar da necessidade de licenciaturas interculturais na área da linguagem como uma política linguística de valorização e promoção das línguas indígenas. Como metodologia realizamos uma revisão bibliográfica para problematizar a construção de um currículo intercultural e a descrição da construção do projeto pedagógico de um curso (PPC) de Licenciatura Intercultural em Letras na Universidade Estadual de Ponta Grossa, no âmbito do Programa Interinstitucional de Pesquisa e Formação Intercultural/Bilíngue de Professores Indígenas no Paraná (PROFIND). Nesta revisão serão abordados aspectos relacionados ao público a quem o curso se destina e estudos sobre políticas linguísticas, teorias do currículo por meio de Goodson (2019) e Silva (2004) e normativas legais, como a Lei de Diretrizes e Bases da Educação Nacional (1996), o Referencial Curricular para as Escolas Indígenas (1998), as Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais do Curso de Letras (2001), os Referenciais para a Formação de Professores Indígenas (2002) e as Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais para a Educação Escolar Indígena na Educação Básica (2012). A partir da revisão se discutirá como esses referenciais fundamentaram a construção de um PPC Intercultural em Letras e como esta proposta pretende impactar positivamente a formação de docentes indígenas e contribuir para a educação bilíngue e intercultural em escolas indígenas. </p>
Tworzenie polskich kołchozów narodowościowych w ramach kolektywizacji rolnictwa na Podolu w latach 20. i 30. XX w. Przyczynek do dziejów rolnictwa na radzieckiej Ukrainie
Authors: Januszkiewicz Barbara 
Published: February 2021

Jedną z najważniejszych części „leninowskiej polityki” w latach 20. i na początku lat 30. XX w. była kolektywizacja rolnictwa, przewidująca tworzenie tzw. kolektywnych gospodarstw. Kołchozy powstawały w wyniku przymusowego przejęcia ziemi od indywidualnych rolników nazywanych „kułakami”. Zakładanie kołchozów na Ukrainie napotykało na największy opór miejscowej ludności, szczególnie ludności polskiej, której liczne skupiska istniały m.in. w obwodzie kamieniecko-podolskim. Dowodem bezwzględności władz bolszewickich w realizowaniu planu kolektywizacji był dekret z 7 VIII 1932 r. o karze śmierci i więzienia „za wszelką kradzież lub roztrwonienie socjalistycznej własności”, nazwany przez ludność wiejską „prawem pięciu kłosów”. W celu przełamania czynnego i biernego oporu przeciwko uwłaszczeniu ludności wiejskiej władze celowo, w sposób wymuszony, wywołały „wielki głód”, który spowodował śmierć 5–6 mln ludzi.
Następstwa społeczno-gospodarcze kolektywizacji wsi czechosłowackiej (1948–1960) w świetle polskich źródeł dyplomatycznych i prasowych
Authors: Turkowski Romuald 
Published: February 2021

Artykuł dotyczy brutalnej, wzorowanej na stalinowskim modelu, kolektywizacji wsi czechosłowackiej. Oparty został o polskie świadectwa dokumentowe zaczerpnięte z polskich archiwów głównie wytworzonych przez służby dyplomatyczne państwa komunistycznego w latach 1945–1960/1961. W artykule pokazano kulisy forsownej kolektywizacji, której efektem było zniszczenie znakomicie prosperującego rolnictwa czechosłowackiego. Konsekwencją działań reżymu komunistycznego było zainstalowanie na wsi czechosłowackiej, obcej kulturze tego narodu, sowieckiego modelu gospodarowania, etosu komunistycznego.
Koalicja Wschowskich Kolędników. Między dziedzictwem kulturowym a tradycją wynalezioną
Authors: Dziubata Karolina 
Published: February 2021

Celem artykułu jest analiza działalności Koalicji Wschowskich Kolędników – grupy młodych ludzi z okolic Wschowy (woj. lubuskie), która w okresie Świąt Bożego Narodzenia praktykuje obchody kolędnicze ulicami miasta i przylegających do niego wsi. Jest to zjawisko stosunkowo świeże, które z uwagi na brak przekazu międzypokoleniowego w formie i treści czerpie z różnych regionów Polski. Artykuł składa się z trzech części: 1) etnograficznego opisu kolędowania, prezentacji grupy i społecznego odbioru zjawiska, 2) osadzenia wschowskiego kolędowania na tle wielkopolsko-lubuskich tradycji kolędniczych, 3) analizy przypadku w kategoriach tradycji, folkloryzmu, tradycji wynalezionej i niematerialnego dziedzictwa kulturowego.
O genius loci w muzeum regionalnym. Czego nam jeszcze trzeba w muzeach lokalnych światów?
Authors: Barańska Katarzyna 
Published: February 2021

Artykuł prezentuje nowe spojrzenie na znaczenie i funkcje muzeum regionalnego wobec zmian mających miejsce w świecie współczesnym. Zmiany te dotyczą samej filozofii człowieka, którego rola coraz mniej postrzegana jest w kategoriach supremacji wobec środowiska naturalnego, a coraz bardziej relacji równorzędności. Dalej, ma miejsce pomniejszanie roli państwa narodowego na rzecz społeczeństwa globalnego, poszerzając zarazem przestrzeń dla lokalizmów kulturowych, w tym regionalnych i mniejszościowych. Lokalizmy z kolei wykraczają poza sferę etnosu, obejmując swym zasięgiem podziały kulturowe z porządku typologicznego. Kryteria opisu osobliwości kulturowych wychodzą poza ramy afirmacji własnego dziedzictwa, skupiając się zarazem na jego ciemnych stronach. Te i inne procesy pociągają konieczność redefinicji misji muzeum regionalnego, którego wszak naczelnym zadaniem pozostaje eksponowanie genius loci, ducha miejsca, w którym muzeum funkcjonuje i którego ma wyrażać.

Published: February 2021

Abstract
Background Approximately 30 % children diagnosed with autism remain minimally verbal past age 5. Interventions are often effective in increasing spoken communication for some of these children. Clinical and research decisions would be facilitated by identifying early indicators of progress in interventions. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between speech sound measures obtained from the early phases of treatment and later treatment outcomes in children with autism and minimal verbal skills. Methods Twenty-three children (18 boys) between 5-9 years of age participated. We compared scores reflecting the phonemic features of word attempts produced during probes, and the number of correct words after 4 weeks of intervention to later word learning outcomes. Results Correlational and hierarchical regression analyses showed that both predictors were positively correlated with outcomes, but the phonemic scores were more strongly related than number of correct words. Conclusion We conclude that phonemic scoring may be a useful measure to determine proximal gains in a spoken word learning intervention. Proximal measures are particularly helpful when trying to decide if the current course of intervention should be maintained or altered. Trial Registration Not applicable.

Abstract
Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC), with a growing incidence trend worldwide, is resistant to apoptosis and have the uncontrolled proliferation. It is recently reported that probiotic microorganisms exert anticancer effects. The genus Bifidobacterium, one of the dominant bacterial populations in the gastrointestinal tract, has received increasing attention because of widespread interest in using as health-promoting microorganisms. Therefore, the present study aimed to assess the apoptotic effects of some bifidobacteria species on colon cancer cell lines.Methods: The cytotoxicity evaluations performed using MTT assay and FACS-flow cytometry tests. Also, the effects of five species of bifidobacteria secretion metabolites on the expression level of anti- or pro-apoptotic genes including BAD, Bcl-2, Caspase-3, Caspase-8, Caspase-9, and Fas-R studied by real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) method. Results: The cell-free supernatant of all studied bifidobacteria significantly decreased the survival rates of colon cancer cells compared with control groups. Flow cytometric and RT-PCR results indicated that apoptosis is induced by bifidobacteria secretion metabolites and the mechanism for the action of bifidobacteria species in CRC prevention could be down-regulation and up-regulation of anti-apoptotic and, pro-apoptotic genes.Conclusions: In the present study, different bifidobacteria species showed anticancer activity on colorectal cancer cells through down-regulation and up-regulation of anti-apoptotic and pro-apoptotic genes. However, further studies are required to clarify the exact mechanism of apoptosis induction by bifidobacteria species.

Abstract
Background: About 30 million people in the EU and USA, respectively, suffer from a rare disease. Driven by European legislative requirements, national strategies for the improvement of care in rare diseases are being developed. To improve timely and correct diagnosis for patients with rare diseases, the development of a registry for undiagnosed patients was recommended by the German National Action Plan. In this paper we focus on the question on how such a registry for undiagnosed patients can be built and which information it should contain.Results: To develop a registry for undiagnosed patients, a software for data acquisition and storage, an appropriate data set and an applicable terminology/classification system for the data collected are needed. We have used the open-source software OSSE (Open-Source Registry System for Rare Diseases) to build the registry for undiagnosed patients. Our data set is based on the minimal data set for rare disease patient registries recommended by the European Rare Disease Registries Platform. We extended this Common Data Set to also include symptoms, clinical findings and other diagnoses. In order to ensure findability, comparability and statistical analysis, symptoms, clinical findings and diagnoses have to be encoded. We evaluated three medical ontologies (SNOMED CT, HPO and LOINC) for their usefulness. With exact matches of 98% of tested medical terms, a mean number of five deposited synonyms, SNOMED CT seemed to fit our needs best. HPO and LOINC provided 73% and 31% of exacts matches of clinical terms respectively. Allowing more generic codes for a defined symptom, with SNOMED CT 99%, with HPO 89% and with LOINC 39% of terms could be encoded.Conclusions: With the use of the OSSE software and a data set, which, in addition to the Common Data Set, focuses on symptoms and clinical findings, a functioning and meaningful registry for undiagnosed patients can be implemented. The next step is the implementation of the registry in centres for rare diseases. With the help of medical informatics and big data analysis, case similarity analyses could be realized and aid as a decision-support tool enabling diagnosis of some patients.

Published: February 2021

Abstract
Cardiac ischemia impairs angiogenesis in response to hypoxia, resulting in ventricular remodeling. Garcinoic acid (GA), the extraction from the plant garcinia kola, is validated to attenuate inflammatory response. However, the role of GA in heart failure (HF) and neovascularization after myocardial infarction (MI) is incompletely understood. The present study is striving to explore the role of GA and the potential mechanism of which in cardiac function after MI. SD rats were randomized into sham group, MI+vehicle group, and MI+GA group in vivo. Human umbilical endothelial cells (HUVECs) were cultured in vehicle or GA, and then additionally exposed to 2% hypoxia environment in vitro. MI rats displayed a dramatically reduced myocardial injury, cardiac function and vessel density in the peri-infarcted areas. GA delivery markedly improved cardiac performance and promoted angiogenesis. In addition, GA significantly enhanced tube formation in HUVECs under hypoxia condition. Furthermore, the expressions of pro-angiogenic factors HIF-1α, VEGF-A and bFGF, and pro-angiogenic proteins phospho-VEGFR2Tyr1175 and VEGFR2, as well as phosphorylation levels of Akt and eNOS were increased by GA treatment. In conclusion, GA preserved cardiac function after MI probably via promoting neovascularization. And the potential mechanism may be partially through upregulating the expressions of HIF-1α, VEGF-A, bFGF, phospho-VEGFR2Tyr1175 and VEGFR2 and activating the phosphorylations of Akt and eNOS.
