Summary. Popadynets’ O. O. FACTOR ANALYSIS OF THE INFORMATION FIELD OF PARAMETERS OF NERVOUS REGULATORY STRUCTURES AND IMMUNITY. FOCUS ON THEIR ENTROPY. – State Enteroprise “Ukrainian research institute for medicine of transport”, Odessa; e-mail: [email protected]. Background. Previously, we conducted a large-scale clinical-physiological study of the relationships between the entropy of the electroencephalogram (EEG) and heart rate variability (HRV) - on the one hand, and the entropy of the leukocytogram and immunocytogram as well as current parameters of EEG, HRV and immunity - on the other hand, as well as between their changes under the influence of adaptogenic balneotherapy. The purpose of this study is a factor analysis of the information field of the parameters of neural regulatory structures and immunity with a focus on their entropy. Material and methods. The object of observation were 37 men and 14 women aged 23-76 years, who underwent rehabilitation therapy of chronic pyelonephritis and cholecystitis in remission at the Truskavets’ spa. The subject of the study are the parameters of EEG, HRV and immunity, as well as the entropy of EEG, HRV, leukocytogram and immunocytogram. Results. The information field of 229 registered parameters is condensed into 20 principal components (PC), 11 of which explain 66,2% of the variance. The first PC (14,9% variance) receives factor loads from the absolute spectral power density (SPD) of alpha-, theta- and beta-rhythms. PC, the third largest share of absorbed variance (8,2%), represents 16 indicators of relative SPD of theta-rhythm and entropy of relative SPD of 12 EEG loci out of 16 registered. Conclusion. The entropy of the relative SPD of the EEG loci, given our previous data on its correlations, can be considered a fairly relevant characteristic of the EEG as well as the neuro-immune complex.
Key words: entropy, electroencephalogram, heart rate variability, immunity.

Было проведено широкомаштабное клинико-физиологическое исследование связей между энтропией электроэнцефалограммы (ЭЭГ) и вариабельностью ритма сердца (ВРС) – с одной стороны, и энтропией лейкоцитограммы и иммуноцитограммы и актуальными параметрами ЭЭГ, ВРС и иммунитета – с другой стороны, а также между их изменениями под влиянием адаптогенной бальнеотерапии. Целью данного исследования был факторный анализ информационного поля параметров нервных регуляторных структур и иммунитета с фокусом на их энтропию. Материал и методы. Объектом наблюдения были 37 мужчин и 14 женщин в возрасте 23-76 лет, которые проходили на курорте Трускавец восстановительное лечение хронического пиелонефрита и холецистита в фазе ремиссии. Предмет исследования – параметры ЭЭГ, ВРС и иммунитета, а также энтропия ЭЭГ, ВРС, лейкоцитограммы и иммуноцитограммы. Результаты. Информационное поле 229 зарегистрированных параметров конденсируется в 20 главных компонентах (ГК), 11 из которых поглощают 66,2% дисперсии. Первая ГК (14,9% дисперсии) получает факторные нагрузки от абсолютной плотности спектральной мощности (ПСМ) альфа-, тета- и бета-ритмов. Третья по стерени поглощенной дисперсии ГК (8,2%) представляет 16 показателейотносительной ПСМ тета-ритма и энтропией относительной ПСМ 12 локусов ЭЭГ из 16 регистрированных. Вывод. Энтропия относительной ПСМ локусов ЭЭГ, с учетом наших предыдущих данных о ее кореляционных связях, может считаться вполне релевантной характеристикой ЭЭГ, а также нейро-иммунного комплекса.
Ключевые слова: энтропия, электроэнцефалограмма, вариабельность ритма сердца, иммунитет

Background. In mathematics the entropy is a measure of uncertainty of a random function; in the theory of information entropy is a measure of uncertainty in a situation, any experience (test) that can have different consequences. The entropy is also a measure of disorder, the degree of chaos present in the system. CE Shannon linked the mathematical dependence of the concept of information and entropy, which characterizes the degree of ordering of the system. This estimate of the amount of information coincides with the estimation of the quantitative measure of elimination of uncertainty of entropy, the degree of organization of the system. It is well known about functional interactions between central and autonomic nervous and immune systems. In the context of this concept, we have prioritized research on the interconnections between the entropies of these systems. Material and methods. In basal conditions in 37 men and 14 women with chronic pyelonephritis and cholecystitis in remission as well as without clinical diagnose but with dysfunction of neuro-endocrine-immune complex and metabolism, we recorded twice, before and after balneotherapy at the spa Truskavets’, EEG (“NeuroCom Standard”) and HRV (“Cardiolab+VSR”). In blood we determined relative content of components (RCC) of Immunocytogram (ICG) (T helper, T cytolytic, B and NK lymphocytes) and Leukocytogram (LCG) (Eosinophils, Stub and Segmentonucleary Neutrophils, Lymphocytes and Monocytes). Than we calculated for each locus of EEG and HRV as well as for ICG and LCG the Entropy (h) of normalized spectral power density (SPD) or RCC using Shannon’s formula: Results. There was a complete absence of correlation between hHRV and hLCG (r=-0,03) as well as hICG (r=-0,03), whereas the relationship between hLCG and hICG is significant (r=-0,40; p<0,001). Accepting the entropy of EEG HRV as a factor, using the correlation analysis with step-by-step exclusion, we obtain the equations for dependent variables. Canonical correlation between hHRV&EEG, on the one hand, and hLCG&Immunity, on the other hand, is strong: R=0,814; R2=0,663; χ2(240)=296; p=0,008. Conclusion. The enropy of HRV and EEG significantly correlate with the entropy and parameters of immunity, which testifies to their modulating regulatory effects.

Variations on the Author
No full text“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

Abstracts
Background. In previous studies, we have shown that electrokinetic index of buccal epithelium (EKI) correlated with some functional and metabolic parameters. Subsequent studies have shown that сhanges in EKI correlated with changes in some parameters of EEG, HRV, hemodynamics, metabolism, immunity and fecal microbiocenosis. Further research in this direction was continued on a significantly increased contingent of patients and with the involvement of new methods and factors of influence. This message starts the presentation of the obtained results. Material and methods. Under a observations were 44 men (49±15 years) and 30 women (51±13 years) without clinical diagnosis or with chronic pyelonephritis in the phase of remission (23 men). We registered caused by the various therapeutic factors changes in EKI, state of the vegetative and hormonal regulation as well as immunity and metabolism, then calculated relationships between changes. Results. In 49 patients the changes in EKI were in the range of ±2,5%, in 19 people EKI increased by more than 2,5% (M±SD=+4,0±1,6%), while in 9 people decreased by more than 2,5% (-4,2±1,7%). The canonical correlation between changes in EKI, on the one hand, and HRV and immunity parameters, on the other, is moderate: R=0,478; p=0,023. The method of discriminant analysis revealed 10 immune and 6 HRV parameters as well as triglycerides and cholesterol, whose changes are characteristic of multidirectional changes in EKI. Conclusion. Electrokinetic index of buccal epithelium responds to therapeutic factors in different directions, accompanied by characteristic changes in a number of parameters of HRV, immunity and metabolism.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

Background. Previously, we have shown that in humans entropy of the normalized parameters of the HRV and SPD of loci of EEG significantly correlate with the entropy of Leukocytogram and Immunocytogram as well as parameters of immunity, which testifies to their modulating regulatory effects. This article is a direct extension of the previous one. Its purpose is the distribution of the observed contingent into groups that are homogeneous in terms of entropy of the HRV, EEG as well as Leukocytogram and Immunocytogram. Material and methods. In basal conditions in 37 men and 14 women with chronic pyelonephritis and cholecystitis in remission as well as without clinical diagnose but with dysfunction of neuro-endocrine-immune complex and metabolism, we recorded twice, before and after balneotherapy at the spa Truskavets’, EEG (“NeuroCom Standard”) and HRV (“Cardiolab+VSR”). In blood we determined relative content of components (RCC) of Immunocytogram (ICG) (T helper, T cytolytic, B and NK lymphocytes) and Leukocytogram (LCG) (Eosinophils, Stub and Segmentonucleary Neutrophils, Lymphocytes and Monocytes). Than we calculated for each locus of EEG and HRV as well as for ICG and LCG the Entropy (h) of normalized spectral power density (SPD) or RCC using Shannon’s formula. Results. The method of cluster analysis is revealed that in members of the major cluster (60%), the entropy of EEG, HRV, ICG and LCG varies within the normal range (-0,5σ ÷ +0,5σ). The members of the next largest cluster (23%) are characterized by a moderately increased entropy of the SPD of EEG in conjunction with the normal entropy of the ICG and the moderately reduced entropy of HRV and LCG. The members of the third cluster (9%) noted a significantly lower entropy (negentropy) of the SPD in loci F3, F4, T3 and C4; in addition, there is a moderate decrease in the entropy of the LCG. Instead, members of the last cluster (8) noted the negentropy of SPD in paired loci Fp1 and Fp2, T5 and T6, T3 and T4, F7 and F8 as well as O1 and O2; in addition, there is a moderate decrease in entropy of the ICG. The entropy of other EEG locus as well as of HRV and LCG is within the normal range. Conclusion. The enropy of HRV and SPD of loci of EEG as well as ICG and LCG is characterized by a large variation, which corresponds to the known wide variance of parameters of the ICG and LCG, which are subordinate to the regulatory influences of the central and autonomic nervous system.

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
