Authors:   University of Lodz, Anusik Jakub , Riedel Rafał ,   University of Opole
Published: August 2023

The objective of this paper is to analyse the double-layered diversiﬁcation of the European integration system represented by the countries of Central Europe (CE). Here exempliﬁed by the Visegrad Four (V4) states (Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, and Czechia), the region offers a unique laboratory of European differentiated integration (DI). The V4 positions itself on the outer-core of the European Union hemispheres. At the same time, the bloc itself is internally diversiﬁed in various, important aspects of integration (conﬂicting trajectories with Brussels, monetary integration, energy policy, relations with Russia, etc.). Unpacking this intra-V4 diversity will be accompanied by an exploration of the economic and institutional factors possibly affecting it. The political-economy perspective allows us to capture the determinants intersecting at the crossroads of economic and political dimensions. The authors will explore the selected building blocks of the system of differentiation inside the V4 group.
From a Centralised to a Diversified Common Agricultural Policy in the Light of Liberal Intergovernmentalism Theory
Authors:   Institute of Agricultural and Food Economics – National Research Institute, Grochowska Renata
Published: August 2023

The aim of this study was to identify the circumstances in which the Common Agricultural Policy, once the most centralised policy in the EU, changed, after 2013, into one which is the most decentralised and diversiﬁed. The following hypothesis was put forward that the introduction of signiﬁcant ﬂexibility in the CAP reﬂects the search by Member States for the most effective ways to identify and implement their own preferences on the EU forum. The research was conducted from the perspective of the liberal intergovernmentalism theory based on a critical analysis of the respective literature and the applicable strategic documents and regulations. In the study, a large heterogeneity of agricultural sectors in the EU has been shown, resulting from several enlargements of the EU. Consequently, it has led to an increasing diversiﬁcation of national preferences, signiﬁ cantly affecting the shape of the CAP reforms proposed on the EU forum. Other important drivers inﬂuencing the changes in the CAP were the introduction of a co¬decision procedure in the area of agriculture, along with the increasing impact of Member States on the decision-making process since the economic crisis of 2008–2009. As a consequence, EU budget negotiations have been dominated by narrowly-deﬁned sectoral and national interests. The concentration of Member States on an acceptable net position contributes to maintaining the status quo in terms of the expenditure part of the EU budget or its reduction. Thus, there is a risk that the deﬁcit of European integration in areas assuming the distribution of costs and beneﬁ ts between Member States may have a negative impact on the future of the EU.

The purpose of this work is to improve the Russian Radiation Safety Standards (NRB) in terms of the interpretation of the meaning of “the main limit of the annual effective dose” and the use of the concept of “emergency”. In [1], proposals were submitted to discuss the changing in new versions of NRB and the Main Health Rules for Radiation Safety (OSPORB) in terms of the interpretation of the concept of “the limit of the annual effective dose of man-caused occupational exposure” and health physics regulation of radionuclide contents in solid materials for free or limited use of these materials. The current NRB-99/2009 uses the term “radiation accident” and establishes the main limits of effective dose (Table 3.1.) for personnel and the public: ‒ for the personnel A group, the annual dose limit is 50 mSv under the mandatory condition of not exceeding the average annual value of 20 mSv for any consecutive 5 years; ‒ for the public, the annual dose limit is 5 mSv under the mandatory condition of not exceeding the average annual value of 1 mSv for any consecutive 5 years. However, in design documentation for the construction and reconstruction of nuclear facilities, in draft regulatory and methodological documents, there are periodically misinterpretations of the main dose limits for personnel and the public and an incorrect interpretation of the term “radiation accident”. In many cases, a dose of 20 mSv is called the annual dose limit for personnel, and a dose of 50 mSv/year is either not mentioned at all, or is considered only as permissible in a radiation accident. The term “radiation accident” is often treated as a synonym for “emergency”. The paper justifies the expediency of introducing relevant changes to the text of new NRB.

Introduction: The leading protective mechanism of the lungs is the processes of deposition of inhaled substances and mucociliary clearance (MCC), the optimal method for studying which is dynamic radioaerosol scintigraphy. are not available on the market. The applicant in this regard for a number of characteristics is the radiopharmaceutical from albumin, produced in the Russian Federation under the brand name Macrotech (M). It is used for perfusion scintigraphy to verify primarily pulmonary embolism and its ability to study deposition of inhalants and MCC has not been studied. Purpose: To study the aerodynamic properties of M dispersion and to determine the possibilities of its use for dynamic radioaerosol scintigraphy of the lungs in order to assess the processes of deposition of inhaled substances and MCC. Material and methods: To study the aerodynamic properties of M, on which the assessment of the deposition of inhaled substances and MCC significantly depends, we studied the dispersion of its particles in different states, and studied them in shape and morphology. An ultrasonic inhaler TuR USI-50 (Germany) generated an aerosol from a suspension of M in distilled water. To study the dispersion in air, laser spectrometry was used using the Spraytec Malvern Instruments system (Great Britain). The protein content in the initial suspension and dispersible aerosol, collected in the form of a condensate, was determined using an Immulite 2000 XPi immunochemical analyzer (Siemens, USA).The shape and morphology of the particles were studied using scanning electron microscopy using. Results: The study of the aerodynamic properties of the dispersion of M indicated that its particles are involved in the dynamics of the movement of the airflow and the flight of water particles generated by the inhaler. The dispersity of the aerosol generated from the suspension M averaged about 5 μm and did not significantly depend on the concentration of the radiopharmaceutical and did not depend on the studied dispersion intensity and airflow rate set using an inhaler. The morphology of M particles was characterized by a complex shape and roughness. Conclusion: The aerodynamic characteristics of M are not optimal for studying the processes of deposition and MCC. However, a final verdict requires a direct assessment of the deposition of the inhaled radioaerosol generated from this preparation.

Published: August 2023

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus has often found to be associated with iron dysregulation, manifested by increased serum ferritin level. Iron is essential for beta- cell insulin secretion, although, increasing concentration of iron and ferritin induce oxidative damage and dysfunction of pancreatic beta cells, leading to resistance to insulin, thus, consequent in hyperglycemia. 
Objective: To observe the association between serum ferritin and HbA1c concentration among type 2 DM patients. 
Methods: With an observational study design, the present study has been done among 63 purposively selected type 2 diabetic patients who attended the selected pathology institute during the period of January to June, 2021. Following availing the ethical approval from concerning ethical review committee and informed written consent of the patients, data regarding age, sex, height, weight, body mass index (BMI), diabetic duration, HbA1c concentration and serum ferritin level has been collected and recorded in a semi-structured questionnaire. Data were analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) 20.
Results: The study recorded that, the mean serum ferritin level was significantly higher among the poor glycemic control group than the good glycemic control group of respondents (p<0.05) though no statistically significant difference was observed in terms of age, sex, BMI or diabetic duration among the groups (p>0.05).
Conclusion: Higher serum ferritin level among diabetic patients with poor glycemic control may indicate that there is a pathological role of serum ferritin to induce changes in glycemic status, which requires further in depth studies to apprehend about the mechanism.

Published: August 2023

Introduction: Dermatophytes are by far the most significant fungi because of their widespread involvement of population at large and their prevalence all over the world. They are assuming greater significance both in developed and developing countries. Hot and humid climate in the tropical and subtropical countries like Bangladesh makes dermatophytosis a very common superficial fungal skin infection. 
Objectives: To identify the pattern as well as the aetiological agents of dermatophytosis. 
Methods: It was a cross sectional study conducted at Dermatology department of CMH, Dhaka. A total 100 patients were recruited through systematic random sampling and examined for cutaneous changes. Skin, nail and hair specimens were taken from the patients and processed by potassium hydroxide preparation (KOH) for direct microscopy and culture.
Results: Dermatophytosis was more common in the age group of 21-30 years (28%) and in males (64%). Most of the patients belonged to low socio-economic status (85%). Fungi was demonstrated in 74 cases (74%) either by KOH and/or culture. Dermatophytosis was more common in military persons (39%). Most common clinical type was tinea corporis (45%) followed by tinea cruris (19%). Most common aetiological agent was T. rubrum (62.7%) followed by T. mentagrophyte  (25.42%), M. gypseum (5.08%), T. tonsurans (5.08%) and E. floccosum (1.69%).
Conclusion: Oral Acyclovir therapy begun within 24 hours of onset of symptoms has been shown to reduce the duration of lesions, pyrexia and overall disease duration. So, Acyclovir should be considered for persons at increased risk of severe Varicella infections.

Published: August 2023

Introduction: Haemorrhoids is one of the most common anorectal disorders. Stapled haemorrhoidectomy (SH) is newly developed method for the surgical management of Haemorrhoids.
Objective: To evalute postoperative complications followed by Stapled haemorrhoidectomy.
Methods: A prospective observational study was conducted among the patients with haemorroid those who got admitted in different surgery units in the department of surgery in Shaheed Suhrawardy Medical College Hospital, Dhaka from 01 December 2015 to 31 May 2016. A total of 60 patients were selected following convenient sampling technique. Data were collected by face to face interview using a structured questionnaire and check list. All completed questionnaires were validated manually and data were analyzed by using descriptive and inferential statistics with SPSS 19.0.
Results: In this study, immediate complications (first week) were: bleeding (8.3%), urinary retention (5.0%), moderate pain (5.0%), pruritus (5.0%) and submucosal abscess (1.7%). The most common complication after 1 week was mild pain (8.3%), stenosis (5%), flatus incontinence, recurrence of hemorrhoids in 3.3% and bleeding was (3.3%). Recurrent hemorrhoids were treated by ligation in 40% and by Milligan-Morgan procedure in 32%. Anal stenoses were treated by dilatation in 55% and by anoplasty in 45%. It was revealed from study that among the patients treated with SH 21.6% had immediate complications followed by 24.3% had late complications.
Conclusion: Prevention is the best treatment of haemorrhoids. Stapled haemorrhoidectomy is safe with many short-term benefits like less post-operative pain, early return from hospital and early return to their normal activities. Like other modalities it is also associated with a long-term risk of hemorrhoid recurrence and the symptom    of prolapse. However, this method is well accepted and comfortable for the patients.

Published: August 2023

The use of WhatsApp Group (WAG) for communication is increasing nowadays. WAG communication data can be analyzed from various perspectives. However, this data is imported in the form of unstructured text files. The aim of this research is to explore the potential use of the SentiwordNet lexicon for labeling the positive, negative, or neutral sentiment of WAG data from "Alumni94" and training and testing it with machine learning text classification models. The training and testing were conducted on six models, namely Random Forest, Decision Tree, Logistic Regression, K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), Linear Support Vector Machine (SVM), and Artificial Neural Network. The labeling results indicate that neutral sentiment is the majority with 7588 samples, followed by 324 negative and 1617 positive samples. Among all the models, Random Forest showed better precision and recall, i.e., 83% and 64%. On the other hand, Decision Tree had slightly lower precision and recall, i.e., 80% and 66%, but exhibited a better f-measure of 71%. The accuracy evaluation results of the Random Forest and Decision Tree models showed significant performance compared to others, achieving an accuracy of 89% in classifying new messages. This research demonstrates the potential use of the SentiwordNet lexicon and machine learning in sentiment analysis of WAG data using the Random Forest and Decision Tree models

The purpose of the work is to increase the effectiveness of treatment of patients with atopic dermatitis by improving phototherapy methods as part of complex therapy. Materials and methods. 48 patients with atopic dermatitis, who were divided into two groups of 24 people each, were included in the study. I group of patients received basic therapy using the cream with ceramides and phototherapy with broadband ultraviolet radiation. Patients included in the II group received basic therapy using the cream with ceramides and narrow-spectrum phototherapy UVB311 nm. Results. In patients of the I group the level of hydration before treatment was (24.3 ± 2.4) conventional units and did not differ by this indicator in the II group – (21.4 ± 2.3) conventional units, which characterized the skin before treatment in both groups as dehydrated. The moisture of the epidermis after 15 procedures of the complex of medical measures improved to the normal level and amounted to (28.1 ± 1.4) conventional units in the I group, and in the II group – (34.7 ± 1.3) conventional units. Thus, patients who received baseline therapy and narrow-spectrum UVB311 nm phototherapy had better rates of skin hydration recovery compared to patients who did not receive it. Conclusions. The use of narrow-spectrum UVB311 nm phototherapy has been proven to be more effective, including in patients with a severe form of atopic dermatitis, compared to the use of broadband phototherapy.

The problems of treating victims with gunshot wounds are determined by the issue of prevention and treatment of purulent complications, because wounds received during hostilities are a priori infected, and the most dangerous complication of wounds is the development of purulent infection. The purpose of the research is to study the peculiarities of the microbial landscape of combat wounds and the antimicrobial activity of certain drugs in relation to extensively resistant and polyresistant microbial agents in order to develop algorithms in external therapy within the framework of complex treatment of these injuries Materials and methods. The data of microbiological studies of 32 victims with gunshot wounds were used in the work. Research results: Based on the results of monitoring the causative agents of purulent-inflammatory complications of wound injuries, a range of leading types of microorganisms was established: K. pneumoniae E. faecalis, S. haemolyticus, P. aeruginosa, E. coli. The isolation of flora resistant to most antibiotics from wounds dictates the need to change the strategy of infection control with strengthening measures to prevent nosocomial transmission and should be taken into account in the process of prescribing antibiotic therapy. Conclusion. The obtained results of the pilot study demonstrate the microbiological effectiveness of dioxidin, partially mupirocin and fusidin, which can be used in the complex treatment of microbial complications of wound injuries and the development of optimal tactics for providing medical care and treatment of the wounded, and can also serve as a basis for the development of a method of complex treatment for certain phases wound process, which allow simultaneous influence on several factors of pathogenesis.
