Aim: To study the correlations between Cystatin C (Cys-C) level and values of the markers of immune system and inflammation, and clinical manifestations of diabetic retinopathy (DR) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM).Material and Methods. 3 groups of patients with type 2 diabetes and different stages of diabetic retinopathy were formed (21 people in each). Group I – with nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR), Group II – with pre-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PPDR), Group III – with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR). The comparison group included patients with type 2 diabetes without vascular complications. Clinical study included: visometry, tonometry, assessing critical flicker fusion frequency, biomicroscopy of the anterior segment of the eye, ophthalmoscopy, biomicroscopy and ultrasound of the retina, crystalline lens, vitreous body, photographic recording of the fundus, optical coherence tomography. The content of Cystatin C (Cys-C), soluble forms of molecules B7.2 (CD86), 4-1BB, CTLA-4, Tim-3, LAG-3, PD-1, PD-L1, Galectin-9, proteins sICAM-1, SAA, NGAL and enzymes (MPO, MMP-2, MMP-9) was examined in the blood serum with the use of multiplex analysis.Results. As DR progresses, the level of Cys-C increases and becomes higher than in individuals with diabetes: with NPDR higher by 94.1% (p < 0.001), with PPDR – higher by 293.6% (p < 0.001). In individuals with PDR, the concentration of Cys-C is maximum. With DR, the amount of PD-1, PD-1L, NGAL, ICAM-1, MMP-9, and MPO increases in the blood serum; as the severity of DR worsens, the levels of ICAM-1, MPO, and MMP-9 increase. Direct correlations were found between the Cys-C values, on the one hand, and the values of some studied indicators, on the other.Conclusions. In type 2 diabetes and DR, the amount of Cys-C in the blood serum increases relative to individuals with diabetes without microangiopathy; in groups with worsening severity of ophthalmopathy, an increase in Cys-C concentration was recorded with a statistically significant difference between the groups. In groups with DR, the level of ICAM-1, MMP-9, and MPO increases with increasing severity. Moderate direct correlations were found between the amount of Cys-C on the one hand and PD-1, PD-L1, as well as the noticeable ones with the values of ICAM-1, NGAL, MMP-9, MPO on the other. A direct noticeable correlation was revealed between the level of Cys-C and the values of the fundus scale.

The purpose of this study was to determine the perception of physics teachers towards the four-tier diagnostic test instrument equipped with self-diagnosis sheet to identify students' misconceptions on linear motion material. The research method used in this study is a mixed method with Sequential Explanatory Design. Data were collected first using a questionnaire and then analyzed using descriptive analysis. The questionnaire was distributed to 14 physics teachers and 96 high school students in Lampung Province. The results showed that teachers have a positive perception of the use of a four-tier diagnostic test instrument equipped with a self-diagnosis sheet feature to identify students' misconceptions on straight motion material. The results showed that 87% of teachers had never identified students' misconceptions on straight motion material. The results also show that 90% of teachers only use the results of daily tests as a benchmark to determine the misconceptions experienced by students. Misconceptions in this straight motion material certainly affect the learning outcomes of students, it is known that only 46% of students reach the KKM on straight motion material. And the results of the questionnaire show that 95% of teachers have never identified the misconceptions of students on linear motion material to make and use any type of multilevel diagnostic test instrument because the teacher has no difficulty in making it. So an effort is needed to overcome these problems, namely by making valid, practical, and effective multilevel diagnostic test instruments. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that a four-tier diagnostic test instrument equipped with a self-diagnosis sheet is needed to identify students' misconceptions on linear motion material.

The Philippines is one of the countries that faced severe fire disasters. However, fire received little recognition in disaster readiness and risk reduction. Seeing that students are gathered in one place, a fire safety assessment is necessary to ascertain their acquisition of competencies in fundamental concepts of fire. Anchored on KAP theory, this study investigated the Grade 12 STEM students' safety awareness before, during, and after a fire in relation to practices in public schools in the central Philippines relative to sex and family monthly income. Using a descriptive, comparative, and correlational approach, a validated and reliability-tested questionnaire was administered to 94 randomly selected students. Mean, Standard Deviation, Mann-Whitney U test, and Spearman Rank Correlation were utilized in data analysis. Overall, students possessed a prominent consciousness and could relatively demonstrate the necessary measures and responses to prevent and suppress the fire. Comparatively, no significant difference exists when grouped according to sex and family monthly income. Concurrently, a significant relationship was observed between their awareness and practices, implying that students who possess the consciousness of fire safety will likely demonstrate the measures against the dangers of fire, which validated the KAP theory. Continuous improvement of teachers' instructions is crucial to strengthen students' readiness and resilience in disasters like fire.

This research study and provide the property of super edge-magic total labelings of theta graph. Edge magic labeling on a graph is an injective function from to a subset of integers { } with the property that there is a positive integer such as for each . An edge-magic labeling is called super edge-magic total labeling if it satisfies . A graph is called (super) edge-magic total if it admits some (super) edge-magic total labeling. A theta graph is constructed by embedding the endpoints of three paths of length consecutive such that there are two vertices of degree three and the other of degree two. This study gave some conditions for such a super edge-magic total of theta graph. Based on this condition, this paper introduce some algorithms to apply and develop super edge-magic total labeling from some previous theta graphs.
