The article is devoted to the study of the state of homeostasis systems in patients with infectious eczema and the establishment of the relationship of the hemostatic system and immune status in the patient’s body. Examination of 108 patients with infectious eczema aged 18 to 65 years living in the southern region of Ukraine showed hypercoagulation changes in the hemostatic system and immune imbalance, which depend on the severity of the disease and play an important pathogenetic role in the onset and progression of this pathology. We have established close pathogenetic mechanisms of the relationship between the immune system and the hemostatic system (changes in the vascular-platelet link are associated with changes in humoral immunity – the content of, circulating immune complexes IgE), and coagulation hemostasis disorders – with indicators of cellular immunity (CD3 +, CD4 +, CD8 +, immunoregulatory index). Identified violations of hemostasis and immune status indicate the need to develop a pathogenetically substantiated method of complex individualized therapy for patients with infectious eczema.

Research is devoted to the study of the relationship of emotional intelligence of students with the results of the state exam in the adaptation of the school system for 5 years from the date of introduction. The sample consisted of 156 first-year students. Evaluation of the components of emotional intelligence was measured by self-report (EmIn questionnaire). There was a statistically significant correlation between the severity of different indicators of emotional intelligence of students passing the exam and the results of the three school subjects: Russian language, Mathematics, Social studies. It is shown that since the introduction in 2009 of compulsory exam the level of communication between the indicators of emotional intelligence and the results of the examination has changed. Adaptation processes to the introduction of the state exam lead to changes contingent of successful students: If at the time of the introduction of the exam more successful were students with higher EI, in the process of adaptation more successful became those with lower EI. It was shown that the components of EI, having the most important relationships with the results of the exam, are different for the considered subjects; the dynamics of these relationships has been revealed.

COVID-19 is a highly contagious virus that first appeared in China in December 2019. It has affected over 157 million people and killed over 3.2 million. The paper reviews the function of the immune system for COVID-19 prevention, depression, and anxiety due to COVID-19 and their effects on the immune system and the relationship of aging with the immune system and depression and anxiety. It has been found that several elderly people lack the coping mechanisms required to deal with the stress caused by COVID-19. Hence, identifying the factors and mechanisms that lead to this resilience will aid in the development of preventive measures for certain elderly people and groups with more severe mental health problems. Additionally, it would be beneficial to understand how technology could be leveraged to accomplish this goal. During the pandemic, various steps such as social isolation, quarantine, and self-isolation are needed to be implemented properly to slow the spread of the virus. Meanwhile, to help halt the pandemic, everybody must be vaccinated as soon as possible until any bans on social gatherings and social isolation can be removed, allowing other sectors such as schooling, social activities, and life to resume normalcy.

The aim of the study was to study the features of cytokine balance and their effect on clinical and laboratory parameters in infectious hemorrhagic colitis in children. Materials and methods. In the Department of intestinal infections in 2018 observed 28 children with infectious haemorrhagic colitis. The diagnosis was established taking into account clinical recommendations; the severity of the disease was determined by the Clark index; the etiology was verified according to bacteriological and molecular studies of feces, serological methods. In the acute period of the disease, the concentration of cytokines in the blood serum — TNF-a, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10 was studied by enzyme immunoassay. Mann-Whitney method, Kruskal-Wallis dispersion analysis, Pearson correlation method we used to estimate the obtained data.Results. The age structure of patients was dominated by young children (53.6%). Mild form of the disease was diagnosed in 32.1% of patients, moderate — in 67.9%. A high level of IL-4 was observed against a relatively low level of TNF-a, IL-6 and IL-10. Significantly higher concentrations of TNF-a and IL-6 were found in children with moderate form of the disease. The maximum values of IL-6 were observed in young children, IL-10 — in infants. In the moderate form of the disease, negative correlations of IL-4 with the number of leukocytes (r = –0.46; p = 0.05) and platelets (r = –0.48; p < 0.05) in the hemogram noted. Early age patients were found to have correlations of TNF-a with the relative number of rod neutrophils (r = 0.62; p < 0.01). There was a significant correlation of IL-4 with the relative number of segmental neutrophils (r = 0.49; p < 0.05). The relationship of TNF-a with the severity of the disease (r = 0.42; p < 0.05) revealed. The data on the possible suppressive effect of TNF-a and IL-10 on the synthesis of urea and the relationship of IL-6 with reactive changes in the liver obtained.Conclusion. Studies of cytokine balance in infectious hemorrhagic colitis in children showed the severity of systemic inflammatory response with the activation of Th-2 immune response. The correlation of TNF-a with the severity of the disease was established, which may have diagnostic and prognostic value.

The aims of this research were to know the state of small pelagic fishery and social economic aspect of resources exploitation. To examine these issues, the research combined survey and descriptive analytic methods. Gordon-Schaefer model was applied to analyze the state of fishery and analytical descriptive to explained the relationship of the phenomena's. Data collection was based on indepth interview and recording of District Fishery Service's. Samll pelagic fisheries that been analyzed were anchovies (Stolephorus sp.), squids (Loligo sp.), and mackerels (Rastrelliger sp.).There are two main problems of fisheries in the area, firstly, the conflict on coastal zone between marine capture fisheries and mariculture. The second one is the intensive exploitation of fisheries resources. Pelagic fisheries at Sape Bay have been exploited above maximum TAC mainly 80% of MSY. MSY of anchovies (Stolephorus sp.) reached 2324,9 ton at number of effort 56534 trip and MEY 2172,3 ton at number of effort 42144 trips. MSY of squids (Loligo sp.) is 455,0 ton at number of effort 12183 trip and MEY 449,0 ton at number of effort 10780 trips equal to Bagan Perahu  trips. The model was not applicable to predict the MSY and MEY of mackerels (Rastrelliger sp.). The continuing increase of effort will depleted the stock and decreased economic rent. In addition, the increasing of competition on fishing ground with pearl culture, have resulted fishermen stress. The integrated policy and management are needed to solve these problems and to avoid social riots.

La policía comunitaria es una institución de los pueblos indígenas de Guerrero conocida por su capacidad para enfrentar a la delincuencia y generar alternativas de paz social., através de un sistema de justicia y seguridad autónomo. En los últimos años, sin embargo, el sistema comunitario enfrenta el acoso de actores diversos vinculados al incremento de la violencia y la inseguridad que se vive en el país y especialmente en el estado de Guerrero; dicha situación está impactando a la institucionalidad comunitaria, obligando a su redefinición. En este trabajo destaco aspectos centrales de dicha conflictividad así como las respuestas que han dado los comunitarios para hacer frente a las tareas de justicia y seguridad en el marco de nuevos contextos marcados por el despojo neoliberal y la impunidad de actores estatales y no estatales. En este proceso se actualiza la relación de la policía comunitaria con el Estado revelando el peso de la ambigüedad legal y los juegos del poder así como los usos contra-hegemónicos del derecho para disputar la justicia. ---SEGURANÇA E JUSTIÇA SOB ACOSSO EM TEMPOS DE VIOLÊNCIA NEOLIBERAL: respostas do policiamento comunitário de GuerreroO policiamento comunitário é uma instituição dos Povos Indígenas do Guerrero conhecidos por sua capacidade de lidar com o crime e gerar paz social de forma alternativa, usando um sistema próprio de justiça e segurança. Nos últimos anos, no entanto, o sistema da UE enfrenta assédio de várias autoridades envolvidas no aumento da violência e da insegurança que reina no país e, especialmente, no estado de Guerrero; essa situação está afetando as instituições comunitárias, forçando a sua redefinição. Neste artigo, destaco os principais aspectos do conflito e as respostas que têm a comunidade para lidar com as tarefas da justiça e da segurança no contexto dos novos contextos marcados por pilhagem neoliberal e a impunidade de atores estatais e não estatais. Neste processo, a relação de policiamento comunitário com o estado é atualizada, revelando o peso da ambiguidade e dos jogos de poder legais, além de usos contra-hegemônicos do direito de disputar a justiça.Palavras-chave: violência neoliberal; Guerrero; comunidades indígenas---SECURITY AND JUSTICE UNDER HARASSMENT IN TIMES OF NEOLIBERAL VIOLENCE: responses of the Community Police of GuerreroThe community police is an institution of the Indigenous Peoples of Guerrero known for its ability to deal with crime and generate alternatives for social peace, using a system of justice and self security. In recent years, however, the EU system faces harassment from various people responsible for the increase of violence and insecurity within the country and especially in the state in Guerrero; this situation is impacting instituitions in the community, forcing their redefinition. In this paper I highlight key aspects of the conflict and the community's responses to deal with the tasks of justice and security in new contexts marked by neoliberal plunder and impunity of the state (as well as non state figures). In this process, the relationship of the community police with the state is updated revealing the weight of legal ambiguity and power plays, as well as counter-hegemonic use of the right to dispute justice.key words: neoliberal vilence; Guerrero; indigenous people.

The aim of the work was to study the dynamics of changes in the immune system indices and antioxidant protection when fluoroquinolones are included in the treatment regimen for acute edematous pancreatitis. The study included 86 patients with a diagnosis of acute edematous pancreatitis. Group I (n=40) consisted of patients who received treatment according to national and local standards and protocols, group II (n=46) — patients who additionally received fluoroquinolones as part of a comprehensive treatment. The control group consisted of 48 conditionally healthy people in whom laboratory and instrumental diagnostics were carried out similarly to those in patients with acute pancreatitis. According to the purpose and objectives of the study, the state of the immune system and the antioxidant defense system was studied. In patients with acute pancreatitis, changes in the indicators of the immune status were revealed, manifested by the formation of a secondary immunodeficiency with the addition of an autoimmune component. The traditional scheme of pharmacotherapy of acute pancreatitis without the use of antibiotics made it possible to partially correct the indicators of immune status. The use of ciprofloxacin in the complex pharmacotherapy of acute pancreatitis contributed to the normalization of the studied parameters. Thus, the use of fluoroquinolones in the complex pharmacotherapy of acute pancreatitis made it possible to effectively normalize the state of the immune system, cytokine and antioxidant statuses.

In the decade and a half since economic liberalization began in Jordan, a little noticed but large-scale organizing trend has taken over the formal provision of social welfare, redefining the institutional conception of familial identity in the process. For over one third of the population, kin solidarities have been reorganized, formalized, and registered as nongovernmental organizations in an attempt to cope with the removal of basic social provisioning by the state. Although kinship clearly has been a major element in Jordan's history, the present phenomena alter traditional familial institutions, change kin lineages, and institutionalize the economic salience of family relations. In turn, the relationship of the populace to the state has changed, marginalizing previously regime-supporting groups and facilitating the implementation of economic neoliberalism without significant protest. Repackaged as charitable elements of civil society, these family associations are sanctioned and encouraged by the state and international community. Although they are not regime creations, family associations reinforce the Jordanian regime's efforts at political deliberalization. The new elites who head the organizations have been placated through indirect incorporation into the regime; they now wield significant economic power over fellow kin and have enhanced social status backed by the new group. Furthermore, the trend mainly consists of families without immediate ambitions of entering national politics. These are not the traditional elite families.

This prologue provides an overview of the history of early and medieval West Africa. During this period, the rise of Islam, the relationship of women to political power, the growth and influence of the domestically enslaved, and the invention and evolution of empire were all unfolding. In contrast to notions of an early Africa timeless and unchanging in its social and cultural categories and conventions, here was a western Savannah and Sahel that from the third/ninth through the tenth/sixteenth centuries witnessed political innovation as well as the evolution of such mutually constitutive categories as race, slavery, ethnicity, caste, and gendered notions of power. By the period's end, these categories assume significations not unlike their more contemporary connotations. All of these transformations were engaged with the apparatus of the state and its progression from the city-state to the empire. The transition consistently featured minimalist notions of governance replicated by successive dynasties, providing a continuity of structure as a mechanism of legitimization. Replication had its limits, however, and would ultimately prove inadequate in addressing unforeseen challenges.

Chapter 15 summarizes the chapters which addressed the third sphere, the relationship of labor to the political community. It reiterates that since Israel was established, the labor market’s borders have become ever more porous, while the borders of the national (Jewish) political community have remained firm: the Jewish nationalism which guides government policy is as strong as ever. NGOs, drawing on a discourse of human rights, are able to assist some non-citizens but this discourse also resonates with the idea of individual responsibility: the State is no longer willing to support “non-productive” populations, who are now being shoehorned into a labor market which offers few opportunities for meaningful employment, and is saturated by cheaper labor intentionally imported by the State in response to powerful employer lobbies. These trends suggest a partial reorientation of organized labor’s “battlefront”, from a face-off with capital to an appeal to the public and state.
