The Role of Metagenomic Next-Generation Sequencing as a Promising Technology for Diagnosing HIV-TB Coinfection
Authors: Liao Zhonghui , Yang Sumei , Li Qian , Lu Hongzhou
Published: October 2022

The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) pandemic has caused a resurgence of tuberculosis (TB), thus increasing morbidity and mortality. Moreover, HIV-TB coinfection leads to difficulties in diagnosis. Sputum smear microscopy, mycobacterial culture and GeneXpert MTB/RIF assays are generally endorsed to detect Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis) in HIV-TB coinfection. However, these methods cannot diagnose TB in an accurate and timely manner, thus increasing the rates of HIV-associated morbidity and mortality in patients with TB. Hence, a considerable need exists for better diagnostic tools for patients with HIV-TB coinfection. Metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) is a novel detection platform widely used to assess infectious disease, antimicrobial resistance, the microbiome and human host gene expression. Herein, we summarize the advantages of mNGS for infectious disease diagnostics. We then assess the efficiency of mNGS in the detection of M. tuberculosis in different specimens and several cases of HIV-TB coinfection. We conclude that mNGS is an acceptable diagnostic method for HIV-TB coinfection, although limited research is available.

Zinc Sulfide (ZnS) thin films have gained popularity due to their potential field applications. ZnS doped with various elements is redefining academic and industrial research. Pulsed laser deposition (PLD) was applied in the deposition process of undoped ZnS and aluminum (Al) doped zinc sulfide (AZS) on cleaned soda lime glass substrates. The doping effects of aluminum concentration (0, 2, 4, and 6%) on the characteristics of ZnS films were investigated. The ZnS and AZS thin films exhibited a direct allowed bandgap in the range of 3.40 to 3.56 eV, The band gap has been observed to be higher (3.56 eV) indicating blue shift. The linear optical parameters such as oscillator energy (E0), dispersion energy (Ed), and static refractive index (n0) were calculated using Wemple and DiDominco's model to find the nonlinear optical susceptibility χ 3 and nonlinear refractive index n2. The increasing nonlinear parameters χ 3 and n2 suggest nonlinear optical applications for AZS. The experimental methods and results are described, and the results are compared to published data.

A ternary transition metal sulfide was synthesized and characterized by the sonochemical approach in this study, namely a Li (Li) and tin sulfide (SnS) thin film incorporating lithium (Li). Lithium incorporated SnS thin films (Li-SnS) were synthesized by equal molar ratios used in the synthesis approach. In these prepared thin films, the crystallite size averaged 5 nm and the thin films were of good crystalline nature. Nanoparticles in the thin film samples have a uniform sphere shape, with clusters forming in a few places, as seen by FE-SEM images. The presence of Li, Sn and S was confirmed through XRF spectral analysis. From the fingerprint region of the FTIR spectra, the presence of Ni, Li, Sn and sulphur was confirmed and no other impurities were detected. The UV absorption analysis was highly indicating the enhanced photon absorption behaviour of the prepared thin film samples due to the incorporation of Li with SnS samples. The efficiencies of the solar cell fabricated with SnS, Li-SnS, were found to be 6.21 and 7.92 %. From the results it is concluded that Li-SnS thin film samples can be a potential candidate for use as an electrode in solar cell applications

In this paper, we have reported an easy, template free and squashy solution chemistry path was applied to synthesize variegated nanostructured congregation assemblies of copper nanoparticles at room temperature using hydrazinecarbothioamide coordinated Cu(II) complex through a single route molecular precursor source. The parent compounds were heated under microwave irradiation to obtain diversified CuS nanostructures in the shapes of spheres and nanotubes were found to be assemblies of either nanoplates or nanoparticles. The formation of nanostructured CuS nano particles was detailed studied by differing the synthetic conditions such as reaction time, temperature, parent compounds ratio, and the presence of counter ions. The presence of NO3 - and SO4 2- ions as counter ions were found to be suitable for the formation of nanotubes whereas the presence of Clions initiate the formation of spherical nano assemblies of CuS nano material is obtained. The synthesized samples were characterized using various structural, morphological and optical characterization techniques like elemental analysis, FT-IR, UV-Vis, and thermogravimetric analysis/differential thermogravimetric (TGA/DG). Important changes were observed in the FT-IR spectra of the copper complex compared to the FT-IR spectrum of ligand. X-ray diffraction studies confirms the formation of hexagonal crystalline phase of CuS nano particles: Transmission electron microscopy exhibit nanotube like structures with an average particle size of 78nm. Strong UV absorption band at 425nm confirms the formation of good quality CuS nano particles. The microwave irradiation of parent compounds in the presence of nonpolar solvents like DMF, DMSO environment played a significant role in decreasing the reaction time, decreases the possibility of side reactions and proceeds the reaction in the formation of good quality nanoparticles. The SEM analysis of CuS nano particles confirms the agglomerated grain like surface morphology of nanoparticles. All compounds showed the various pharmacological activities like antioxidant, antibacterial activities due to the presence of strong electron withdrawing and electron releasing functional groups are present in molecular precursors. The microwave synthesis of CuS nanostructured assemblies in nonpolar solvent in a proper stoichiometric ratio is an excellent method for preparing highly efficient bio active agents like antibacterial & antioxidant agents which can be considered as a good drug candidate for medicinal chemists in future.
An update on genetically engineered mouse models of pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms
Authors: Gaspar Tiago Bordeira , Lopes José Manuel , Soares Paula , Vinagre João
Published: October 2022

Pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (PanNENs) are rare and clinically challenging entities. At the molecular level, PanNENs’ genetic profile is well characterized, but there is limited knowledge regarding the contribution of the newly identified genes to tumor initiation and progression. Genetically engineered mouse models (GEMMs) are the most versatile tool for studying the plethora of genetic variations influencing PanNENs’ etiopathogenesis and behavior over time. In this review, we present the state of the art of the most relevant PanNEN GEMMs available and correlate their findings with the human neoplasms’ counterparts. We discuss the historic GEMMs as the most used and with higher translational utility models. GEMMs with Men1 and glucagon receptor gene germline alterations stand out as the most faithful models in recapitulating human disease; RIP-Tag models are unique models of early-onset, highly vascularized, invasive carcinomas. We also include a section of the most recent GEMMs that evaluate pathways related to cell cycle and apoptosis, Pi3k/Akt/mTOR, and Atrx/Daxx. For the latter, their tumorigenic effect is heterogeneous. In particular, for Atrx/Daxx, we will require more in-depth studies to evaluate their contribution; even though they are prevalent genetic events in PanNENs, they have low/inexistent tumorigenic capacity per se in GEMMs. Researchers planning to use GEMMs can find a road map of the main clinical features in this review, presented as a guide that summarizes the chief milestones achieved. We identify pitfalls to overcome, concerning the novel designs and standardization of results, so that future models can replicate human disease more closely.
Evaluation of the use of vineyard pruning biomass (bobal variety) in constructive bioproducts
Authors: Ferrández-Villena Manuel , Ferrández-García Antonio , García-Ortuño Teresa , Ferrández-García María T.
Published: October 2022

The use of by-products from agricultural and forestry activity, apart from many other environmental benefits, constitutes an alternative source of income, cost reduction, and support for the principles of the circular economy. The bobal grape is a variety of red grape that is cultivated on 65 thousand hectares only in Spain. Periodic maintenance of the crop must be carried out through winter pruning from December to March. The pruning biomass is burned or crushed and incorporated into the soil, producing environmental contamination and disease transmission. The objective of this work was to use the biomass from vineyard residues in the production of binderless particleboards without using any adhesives, thereby obtaining an ecological product that would benefit the environment. In the manufacturing process, the press temperature (130 °C) and pressure (2.6 MPa) were fixed, varying the particle size (<0.25, 0.25 to 1.00, and 1.00 to 2.00), and the pressing time (15, 30, and 45 min). The results showed that by using particles smaller than 0.25 mm and applying 45 min in the hot press, panels were manufactured that are suitable for general use in a dry environment and for the manufacture of furniture according to European standards.
Ruth Landes. Homosexualidad y travestismos en la Antropología de principios del siglo XX
Authors: Hernández Medina Rodrigo Daniel
Published: October 2022

Este artículo analiza el estatus antropológico de la homosexualidad y el travestismo a través de una discusión internacional sostenida entre intelectuales norteamericanos y brasileños en la primera mitad del siglo XX. Este debate surgió en torno a la etnografía realizada en Brasil por la antropóloga estadounidense Ruth Landes, específicamente por sus conclusiones respecto a la presencia de hombres homosexuales travestis en algunos espacios de culto afrobrasileños. Se muestra cómo la antropología de la época estaba profundamente influida por las disputas sobre el carácter cultural o individual de las “patologías de la sexualidad” presentes en la psicología y el psicoanálisis. Esto permite internarse en la historia de la antropología en América Latina y estudiar cómo se ha negado sistemáticamente la subjetividad trans y los deseos sexuales subversivos en los textos antropológicos del siglo XX, particularmente en aquellos donde se exploraban las condiciones raciales de las poblaciones marginadas.

Published: October 2022

El uso indiscriminado de antimicrobianos (antibióticos, antifúngicos o antivíricos), utilizados de manera profiláctica en el pienso o de forma terapéutica en la industria avícola, ha generado la creciente preocupación por la resistencia antimicrobiana de muchos microorganismos poniendo en peligro la eficacia en la prevención y el tratamiento de ciertas infecciones. Por ello, varias industrias de producción, incluyendo la industria avícola, están optando por sustituir estos antimicrobianos comerciales por agentes antimicrobianos naturales que provienen de plantas medicinales, evaluando los efectos de sus extractos o metabolitos secundarios. Por ello el estudio tuvo como objetivo evaluar la actividad antimicrobiana (bactericida y antimicótica) de una formulación natural de anillo cimenol-ácido cítrico (ACAC) frente a maíz amarillo duro experimentalmente contaminado con Pseudomona sp, Clostridium sp, Escherichia coli, Salmonella sp, Fusarium sp, Rhizopus sp y Aspergillus sp en concentraciones de 103 y 106 UFC/g. El ACAC fue comparado frente a dos formulaciones comerciales de ácidos orgánicos (A: ácido fórmico/ácido propiónico, y B: ácido propiónico al 90%), utilizando dos tiempos de tratamiento por 24 horas y 7 días. Los resultados muestran que ACAC tuvo un efecto antibacteriano mayor al 95 % (experimentos: 103 y 106 UFC/g), observando un mayor efecto del producto a los 7 días de tratamiento frente a 24 h (experimento: 106 UFC/g). También se ha observado que ACAC tuvo un efecto antimicótico mayor al 84 % (experimentos: 103 y 106 UFC/g). El efecto antimicrobiano de ACAC mostró ser mejor frente a los ácidos orgánicos comerciales A y B. Por tanto, el presente estudio ha demostrado que ACAC (tratamiento por 24 horas y 7 días) tiene un buen efecto antibacteriano y antimicótico frente a los agentes patógenos Pseudomonas sp., Escherichia coli, Clostridium perfringes, Salmonella sp., Rhizopus sp., Fusarium sp. y Aspergillus sp., que frecuentemente están presentes en el maíz o pienso destinados a la alimentación de pollos broiler.
Memorias que luchan y poéticas que migran. Los testimonios indígenas del Gran Chaco
Authors: Campuzano Betina Sandra
Published: October 2022

Dos epígrafes inician esta presentación: el primero corresponde al poema inicial de Las voces de Napalpí (2016), de Juan Chico, escritor qom que recupera los testimonios de los sobrevivientes de la Masacre de Napalpí1. Tal crimen fue ejecutado por el Estado argentino en 1924 para el aniquilamiento de los pueblos qom y mocoit, en la provincia del Chaco, Argentina. Como todo testimonio que, en un sentido etnográfico, entrama el proceso de traslación lingüística y cultural de la oralidad a la escritura, la producción de Juan Chico constituyó una de las fuentes centrales para el reciente veredicto de la Justicia Federal del Chaco: en mayo de 2022, consideró esta masacre como un crimen de lesa humanidad cometido en el marco de un genocidio de los pueblos originarios.
Hacia un sistema poético prehispánico: el caso del wakcha y el icnopilli
Authors: Castillo C. Wendy-María
Published: October 2022

La poesía prehispánica es la primera etapa evolutiva del género poético en Latinoamérica, por medio de sus discursos no solo podemos conocer las dimensiones conflictivas que se suscitaron durante el desencuentro entre la oralidad con la escritura, también se observa las cualidades discursivas preexistentes a la invasión española que forman parte tanto de la concepción literaria como de la visión del mundo que se desarrollaron en la civilización azteca e incaica. En tal sentido, el artículo tiene el objetivo de analizar una de estas características líricas, el huérfano, que desde la cultura quechua se le denomina wakcha, mientras que para la náhuatl, icnopilli; ambas comparten una similitud en su representación, pero cada una de ellas conlleva y corresponde a una racionalidad distinta, gracias a estas diferencias e interrelaciones se logra aprehender e interpretar la naturaleza conjuntiva y ramificadora del sistema poético prehispánico.
Aciertos y desaciertos de la Convención sobre los derechos del niño
Authors: Monge Hernandez Debora Katy
Published: October 2022

Este artículo forma parte de un estudio previo respecto a los derechos humanos durante la minoría de edad, problemática no ajena en nuestro sistema socio jurídico, aún en el marco de la Convención sobre los derechos del niño, que se constituye referente de cambio del modelo de protección hacia niños, niñas y adolescentes. Es así que entender la infancia como subestructura, favorece a reconocer que el colectivo de niños, niñas y adolescentes se mantiene en un ámbito de afectación de los derechos humanos, fundados en su vulnerabilidad natural y contextual, por lo que los aportes tenidos en cuenta dan apertura al dialogo respecto a la condición de titulares activos que en nuestro sistema socio jurídico no alcanza al colectivo de niños, niñas y adolescentes, y permite reafirmar que en concordancia con el alcance universal de derechos humanos, se garantice un modelo de protección en el que familia, sociedad y Estado actúen sincrónicamente en el reconocimiento de los derechos humanos durante la minoría de edad, mediante mecanismos que garanticen la condición de titular activo respecto a sus derechos humanos.

Authors: Moreno Jaime Fabiola
Published: October 2022

Tras la pandemia por COVID-19, Perú se posicionó como el país a nivel mundial con mayor índice de mortalidad por cada 100,000 habitantes. Este hecho hizo evidente, entre otros factores, las limitaciones del sistema de salud, especialmente al interior del país. Por ello, bajo un enfoque de función de producción, se estimaron los índices de eficiencia para las 24 regiones en un periodo prepandemia, para evidenciar brechas ya existentes, tanto en insumos como en resultados de salud. Metodología: aplicación de un método paramétrico de fronteras estocásticas, modelo Battese y Coelli (1988), considerando como variable de resultado a las atenciones de salud e insumos como capital, trabajo y gasto público. Además se incorpora un país referencial (Estados Unidos) para dimensionar las brechas de eficiencia. Resultados: el índice de eficiencia de Estados Unidos es igual a 1, demostrando ser frontera; el promedio de eficiencia de las regiones del Perú es de 0.70; la región más eficiente Ayacucho (0.95) dado que logra mayor producción con menos recursos, mientras la menos eficiente Moquegua (0.23).

Published: October 2022

Objective: To verify D-dimer values to predict disease severity, degree of lung involvement and mortality in patients with COVID-19. Method: The D-dimer levels of 200 confirmed COVID-19 patients were prospectively measured in the Emergency Department of Razi Hospital of Ahvaz on the admission day, and its relations with the illness severity, computed tomography (CT) score, and mortality were assessed. Results: D-dimer level > 1.04 μg/mL and ≤ 1.12 μg/mL could indicate severe illness and high grade of pulmonary involvement but low risk of death. The mortality rate in the patients with D-dimer level > 1.12 μg/mL (was significantly higher than its rate in those with D-dimer level ≤ 1.12 μg/mL (17.2% x 1.5%; P:0.02). An independent positive correlation was found between D-dimer and Chest CT score as well as the disease severity (OR: 1.84; 95%CI:1.38 - 2.45; P:0.0001). Conclusion: D-dimer level > 1.12 μg/mL on the early stage of COVID-19 infection may independently predict the severe illness, high grade of pulmonary involvement, and high risk of death, indicating its beneficial role in timely management of critical patients.

Authors: Vasilev P.
Published: October 2022

PURPOSE: The main goal of this paper is to present guidelines for improving the methodological tools used in approaches to risk assessment.
METHODS: The IBM SPSS Statistics software application was used for a correlation analysis of a survey conducted in May through June 2020 among the auditors of the Bulgarian National Audit Office. The analysis is based on Spearman's rank correlation coefficient.
RESULTS: The correlations between the observations were identified. A strong positive correlation of rs= 0.571 was observed between the Basic risk assessment and the lack of competent employees in the organization and no correlation was found between the standard risk assessment and the risk of material misstatement.
CONCLUSION: The auditors’ awareness and application of appropriate procedures allows them to assess correctly the risks regardless of whether they choose to carry out a standard or a basic risk assessment. This is due to the fact that in certain cases management uses inappropriate control activities for certain situations or events.

The specific rules for their spending by the municipalities (targeted and non-targeted) are derived, presenting the introduced control mechanisms on the powers of the local authorities for their spending. The correspondence of the used indicators for distribution of the state transfers by municipalities to the expenditure needs is studied, by making an experimental comparison and grouping of the municipalities according to their revenue capacity for providing these expenses. The changes in the share of the individual types of transfers in relation to GDP, the consolidated fiscal program, the state budget and the municipal budgets are also presented. The general trends for a five-year period are established and the general conclusions are determined, the main one of which is that the local budgets are strongly dependent on the state transfers. Based on the results of the study, some key areas are proposed for improving the distribution mechanisms and development of the regulatory framework in the country.
Right of the “Above” and the “Below”. On the Border of Customary Law and Custom: The Legal Customs
Authors: Mezey Barna
Published: October 2022

Recalling certain aspects of the research on Hungarian legal ethnography, the study deals with the relationship between law, customary law and legal custom. Customs of law is a significant field of law, inherited from the ancient legal order and created in the feudal-order society, which existed at the border of custom and formal law. The importance of the living conditions it governed gave rise to the institution of community coercion, which gave its rules a legal character. Eventually, it evolved in the “below” space left to it from the “above” and over time it acquired a tenacity that made it capable of maintaining a legal system in competition with the state, in response to a regulatory question not accepted by “official law.” The compliance and adherence to legal customs was based on the conviction of a community recognizing the need to adopt established rules and not on the competence, prestige, authority, legislative power and privilege of a legislative body.
Az Inana és Šukaletuda című mítosz •
Authors: Pintér Anna Krisztina
Published: October 2022

Az alábbi tanulmány a sumer Inana és Šukaletuda mítosz új magyar fordítását tartalmazza, illetve egy elemzést a szöveg egyik problematikus részéről, Šukaletuda „megáldásáról”. Az elemzésben amellett érvelek, hogy a szöveg szóhasználata arra vonatkozó utalásokat rejt, hogy Šukaletuda, a kertész, alacsony származású, uralkodói szerepkörök betöltésére alkalmatlan személy, és az uralkodókat utánzó, jogtalan tette után kap isteni büntetést. A mítoszról szóló eddigi elemzések a szöveg ezen aspektusára még nem tértek ki.

This study aims to determine the language features used by male and female in social media, especially Instagram and Twitter. The data used in this study are based on ten characteristics of women's language features which presented by Robin Lakoff in her book entitled Language and Women's Place. This study also uses an additional theory about the characteristics of men’s language which is presented by Jennifer Coates as a supporter of the main theory. The data collected comes from Instagram and Twitter posts containing hashtag #SaveJohnnyDepp. The results showed that male and female users use the same language characteristics, but the frequency is slightly different. The difference lies in the focus of the topics discussed and the use of language features proposed by Lakoff and Coates. This study also found that the purpose of using #SaveJohnnyDepp on Instagram and Twitter both male and female users is to provide support and ask for the justice that Johnny Depp deserves.
Spiritual Warfare and Right-Wing Authoritarianism
Authors: Maltese Giovanni
Published: October 2022

This article focuses on contemporary spiritual warfare discourse and on the apparent affinity to right-wing authoritarianism of Christians related to it. Drawing on material from the Philippines, I investigate the role of scholarship in fostering said affinity by reading Christians, who seem to be connected to the spiritual warfare discourse, through the lens of prominent U.S.-American dominionists. I argue that the approach of global religious history helps to critique the Anglo-Eurocentric and elitist biases underlying current research about Christianity in the majority world.
Justicia de Dios, Injusticia, Pecado y Gracia (Rom 2:1-5:21)
Authors: Tamez Elsa
Published: October 2022

La intención de Pablo es su carta es incluir a los no-judíos como pueblo deDios, pues la justicia y la gracia es para todos los pueblos. La justicia de Dioses la respuesta a la realidad de pecado estructural, producto de las prácticasde injusticia, tanto de no judíos como de judíos. Todos los pueblos son cómplicesdel pecado, incluso los judíos que alegan tener una ley que les guía ensus prácticas de justicia. La humanidad, según Pablo no tiene salida, pues nohay ni un justo que pueda hacer el bien, todos están sometidos al pecado. Sinembargo, debido a la justicia misericordiosa de Dios, en lugar de castigar,acoge a los humanos como justos por pura gracia, esto hace que estos setransformen en hacedores de justicia. Dios pasa por alto los pecados porquelo que quiere es una nueva creación. Tamez no subraya la interpretación de lamuerte de Jesucristo como sacrificio que limpia los pecados, sino ve la muertecomo consecuencia de las prácticas de justicia de Jesús, el mesías. Esta esla vida de fe de Jesús que justifica, así como también justifica la fe de quienescreen, como Abraham, que Dios tiene poder para sacar vida de la nada, esdecir, la fe en que otra creación es posible.
Ochrona dóbr kultury w niemiędzynarodowych konfliktach zbrojnych
Authors:   Uniwersytet Kardynała Stefana Wyszyńskiego w Warszawie, Rutkowska Patrycja
Published: October 2022

In her article, the author points out that contemporary armed conflicts are often of a non-international nature. She provides the example of the ongoing conflict in Syria and Iraq as one in which cultural property of universal importance has been at risk of destruction. Based on the definition of non-international armed conflict, she notes that only a limited number of treaties belonging to the field of international humanitarian law include provisions aimed at protecting cultural property during an armed conflict. She praises the inclusion of rules concerning the safeguarding of cultural property to the general body of international customary law. She also notes that the introduction of the concept of individual responsibility for violations of international humanitarian law may pave the way for a more efficient exercise of rules concerning the safeguarding of cultural property in armed conflicts.

The World Social Forum emerged at the beginning of the 21st century as the leading subject of the alterglobalist movement. It brings together movements that oppose neo-liberal globalization and fight against the ever-weaker control of citizens over the actions of powerful national and supranational entities. As an institution uniting diverse groups excluded from all over the world, it aims to create a platform of global resistance. The innovative dimension of the Forum is to challenge the narrow understanding of alternatives to the current economic and political order and to create conditions for a cosmopolitan policy aimed at grassroots, decentralized and democratic global governance. The aim of the article is to present the characteristics of the World Social Forum as a subject of cosmopolitan politics, to show the challenges ahead and to reveal its political potential.

This is the result of the entry into force of the Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free flow of such data, which came into force on May 25 this year. Personal data and their protection is an area that applies to every citizen. It should be stated that there are more and more ways of collecting data. It also involves a special need to protect them. There are many reasons that imply the need for a broad regulation of personal data protection rules.

The legal acts have been juxtaposed with several items in the literature presenting the position of the representatives of the doctrine. Undoubtedly, this article is based on the legal-dogmatic method.

Authors:   Uniwersytet Warszawski, Drabiński Maciej
Published: October 2022

Peter Kropotkin was one of the most theorists of anarchism, a respected scholar and a leading representative of the so-called Russian (Eastern) Darwinism. Merging political and scientific ambition by the “anarchist prince” underlaid his scientism and was an assumption for making a critical analysis of existing socio-economic reality in the light of its influence on the biological and moral condition of humankind. The Russian anarchist was convinced about the destructive influence of conditions produced by the state and capitalism which he found as the fundamental cause of human degeneration. In this context, Kropotkin’s political proposals may be seen as a try to overcome a progressing both biological and moral crisis of humankind. The aim of this article is to present the mentioned analysis and to demonstrate the influence and similarities of Kropotkin’s project to the so-called theory of degeneration that was popular in the second half of XIX century.

W niniejszym artykule autorzy prezentują wyniki badań własnych nad postawami wobec czterech wybranych dylematów rozpatrywanych na gruncie etyki środowiskowej. Pomiaru empirycznego dokonano przy użyciu kwestionariusza ankiety w latach 2014–2015 na 1000-osobowej, reprezentatywnej próbie mieszkańców województwa kujawsko- pomorskiego. Respondenci zostali poproszeni o ustosunkowanie się do 16 stwierdzeń, których treść odnosiła się do takich zagadnień, jak kwestia wartości życia ludzkiego w obliczu groźby przeludnienia i postulatów związanych z ograniczeniem liczby populacji ludzkiej, znaczenie interesów ludzkich w kontekście dobra przyrody, priorytetowe cele ochrony środowiska, a także zasady zadośćuczynienia określającej zakres rekompensowania szkód poczynionych przez działalność człowieka w środowisku przyrodniczym. Każdy z wymienionych czterech problemów został przedstawiony ankietowanym do oceny w formie 4 stwierdzeń dopasowanych pod względem aksjologicznym do obowiązującego w etyce środowiskowej podziału na stanowiska antropocentryczne i biocentryczne.
