Znaczenie partnerstwa publiczno-prywatnego we wdrażaniu polityki regionalnej Podkarpacia w procesie integracji europejskiej
Authors: Cebulak Jan
Published: November 2023

Uwzględniając korzyści i zagrożenia wynikające z partnerstwa publiczno – prywatnego należy stwierdzić, że rozwój udanej współpracy tych sektorów wymaga skupienia się na wielu kwestiach. Z racji tego, że PPP to ciągle rozwijająca się koncepcja, konieczne jest stwarzanie odpowiedniej struktury organizacyjnej i prawnej funkcjonowania porozumień między sferą prywatna a publiczną. Podstawową zasadą udanej współpracy jest rozwój struktury instytucjonalnej zdolnej do kierowania, rozwijania i zarządzania PPP w imieniu sektora publicznego. Rozwój struktur zarządzających projektami powinien wymusić powstanie i rozwój przepisów oraz regulacji prawnych, co z kolei przyczyni się do stworzenia efektywnego zarządzania i nadzoru. Praktyka gospodarcza wskazuje wiele problemów i utrudnień w zakresie właściwego i skutecznego wykorzystania PPP dla rozwoju lokalnego. Za najistotniejsze problemy można uznać rozpowszechnienie informacji o szansach i zagrożeniach wynikających z PPP, stworzenie zaufania między stronami kontraktu, wybór najbardziej odpowiedniego modelu PPP dla otoczenia lokalnego i cech projektu, włączenie społeczeństwa do realizacji funkcji monitoringu. We wdrażaniu zasad PPP należy brać pod uwagę także ryzyko polityczne i legislacyjne, zwłaszcza niestabilność polityczna i częste zmiany personalne, głównie po stronie partnerów publicznych, mogą być zagrożeniem dla realizacji rozpoczętych projektów, transferowania środków finansowych, powodowania zmian obowiązujących obciążeń podatkowych czy też innych uregulowań prawnych. Podsumowując należy stwierdził, iż PPP jako forma współpracy jednostek samorządu terytorialnego z różnymi podmiotami sprzyja pozyskiwaniu kapitału prywatnego i łączeniu go z kapitałem publicznym celem finansowania przedsięwzięć podejmowanych w sferze usług publicznych. PPP to także wykorzystanie wiedzy, umiejętności i doświadczenia sektora prywatnego w realizacji zadań publicznych oraz zwiększenie efektywności wykorzystania istniejących zasobów dla polepszenia jakości świadczonych usług.

Polityka innowacyjna należy do najmłodszych dziedzin polityki gospodarczej. Powstanie polityki innowacyjnej jest datowane na lata pięćdziesiąte dwudziestego wieku, co jest zgodne z uznaniem pozytywnego wpływu postępu technicznego na rozwój gospodarczy. Do głównych obszarów polityki innowacyjnej możemy zaliczyć tworzenie sprzyjających warunków dla innowacyjności, stymulowanie sprzężenia badań i innowacji, tworzenie kultury innowacyjne. Obejmuje ona m.in. następujące obszary: wzmacnianie powiązań w narodowym systemie innowacji, kształtowanie i rozbudowywanie zdolności do wprowadzania innowacji, zarówno w dziedzinie techniki i technologii jak też organizacji i edukacji, optymalne wykorzystanie innowacji jako podstawowego czynnika wzrostu gospodarczego oraz zwiększającego liczbę trwałych miejsc pracy, dokonywanie strukturalnych zmian technicznych, technologicznych, jakościowych w przemyśle, wykorzystanie współpracy międzynarodowej oraz procesów globalizacji w gospodarce. Jednym z najważniejszych celów polityki innowacyjnej, zarówno rozwiniętych jak i rozwijających się państw, jest rozwój krajowego i regionalnych systemów innowacji, tzn.: systemu instytucji, umiejętności i zachęt (podatkowych, kredytowych i in.), służących do: - wprowadzania innowacji, zwiększających konkurencyjność gospodarki i polepszających jakość życia społeczeństwa, - jednoczesnego przekształcania systemu badawczo-rozwojowego ze skierowanego do wewnątrz, na zorientowany na potrzeby kraju oraz gospodarki opartej na wiedzy, - zwiększania wzajemnych powiązań między nauką, techniką, rynkiem, administracją państwową i terytorialną, organizacjami pozarządowymi, edukacją. Polityka innowacyjna Polski jest w dużym stopniu spójna z polityką innowacyjną Unii Europejskiej

Introduction. Sustained monomorphic ventricular tachycardia (VT) ? SMVT is a rare, underdiagnosed pathology with a very poor prognosis. Along with ventricular fibrillation, SMVT is responsible for nearly all of the arrhythmic sudden cardiac deaths (SCD). The most common cause of VT is ischemic heart disease, but there are many other reasons, among which are arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVD) and myocardial bridging phenomenon. Treatment options include a hybrid approach consisting of antiarrhythmic drugs, catheter ablation, and implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD). Case report. We present a case of a 46-year-old man, a military officer, who experienced chest pain, palpitations, and nausea during regular physical activity at home. Due to the symptoms described, he was examined immediately and diagnosed with SMVT. Shortly after the diagnosis, he lost consciousness and was successfully resuscitated. A complete non-invasive and invasive cardiology examination was performed. It revealed that the patient had stable coronary disease and a muscle bridge on the left anterior descending artery. An ARVD was suspected after transthoracic echocardiography and heart magnetic resonance imaging. Genetic testing for ARVD was negative, but according to the Heart Rhythm Society expert consensus criteria, we had enough for a definitive diagnosis. The patient was hospitalized for ten days and treated with drugs without recurring VT or other disorders. We implanted an implantable loop recorder before the discharge and monitored the heart rhythm for one year. During a three-year follow-up, all of his electrocardiographic findings presented sinus rhythm without heart rhythm disorders. Conclusion. Sudden SMVT is the most common cause of SCD. It is of inestimable importance to carry out a detailed examination and determine the immediate cause of the arrhythmia and the right therapy, which, for these patients, is a life-saving form of treatment. Therapy includes medications, electrophysiology or ICD, or a combination of these treatment approaches.

Construcción del sujeto matemático: sinergia en la enseñanza de las matemáticas
Authors: Sonia Janeth Sonia Janeth
Published: November 2023

Resumen

En este ensayo se plantea la posibilidad de la sinergia entre las teorías de las condiciones para el aprendizaje de Gagné (1987) y la objetivación de Radford (2014, 2023) en el contexto de la enseñanza de las matemáticas. Para ello, se analiza cómo la objetivación, subjetivación y la labor de la teoría de Radford pueden complementar los eventos para la enseñanza propuestos por Gagné, tales como generar atención, informar el objetivo de aprendizaje, estimular el recuerdo previo, proporcionar orientación, evocar el desempeño, dar retroalimentación, evaluar el desempeño e incrementar la retención y generalización con el fin de promover un aprendizaje significativo y profundo. Además, se destaca la importancia de considerar tanto los aspectos cognitivos como los socioepistemológicos en el diseño de estrategias matemáticas y se proponen eventos en la enseñanza que resultan de la complementariedad de ambas teorías. Se concluye con una reflexión sobre la relevancia y el potencial de esta sinergia en el campo de la educación matemática, y se sugieren direcciones futuras de investigación para continuar explorando esta perspectiva integrada en la enseñanza de las matemáticas.

The technical side of the problem consists in more attractive signal characteristics of the centimeter range meters, but unacceptable for practical use of their dimensions. The carried out parametric optimization showed the possibility of using of the millimeter range meters in limited, but suitable for practical use, conditions of starting trajectory measurements.
Dissociative Experiences Scale: Psychometric Analysis in Puerto Rico and Contributions to the Discussion of the Factor Structure
Authors: González-Rivera Juan
Published: November 2023

Introduction: The Dissociative Experiences Scale (DES-II) is a widely used psychometric tool to assess dissociative symptoms. Over the years, it has been the subject of numerous studies and research in various fields of psychology and psychiatry. Numerous studies have supported the validity and reliability of the DES-II as a reliable measure of dissociative experiences. The most problematic aspect of the DES-II is the inconsistency in its factor structure. Objective: This research aimed to examine the psychometric properties of the DES-II in a clinical and non-clinical sample from Puerto Rico. Method: This research had an instrumental design. An availability sampling of 341 adult participants was used. Several competing models of the DES-II were analyzed, including a bifactor model. Result: Psychometric analyses concluded that the scale has a unidimensional structure, strong reliability, and construct validity. All 28 items met adequate discrimination values. Participants with dissociative disorders obtained higher means on the DES-II than the other diagnostic groups. Furthermore, the more adverse experiences in childhood, the more dissociative experiences in adulthood. Conclusion: The DES-II should be treated and interpreted as a unidimensional dissociation index rather than a multidimensional instrument. This study will advance further research on dissociation and dissociative disorders in Puerto Rico and Latin America.

Disaster relief aid as soft diplomacy: Case of Canadian disaster diplomacy in Nepal 2015 earthquakes
Authors: Nikku Bala Raju , Nepali Bishwash , Dahal Sanjeev
Published: November 2023

Abstract This article explores Nepal Earthquakes 2015 as a case of Canadian disaster diplomacy, tracing the diplomatic ties between Canada and Nepal. We argue that the warming up of diplomatic relations between these countries in the 50th diplomatic year sprinted Canada's support following the 2015 Nepal earthquakes. The earthquakes increased Nepali Canadians' involvement in the relief efforts, reinforced their diasporic identities, and increased their visibility as a visible minority community within the broader Asian diaspora in Canada while surfacing the political divisiveness amongst them. Against this backdrop, we ask: what lessons can be learned for Canadian disaster diplomacy efforts in the South Asian region? Based on field evidence, we argue that non-state actors, western disaster aid, and local government efforts fail to supply disaster relief in socially optimal quantities. We urge Canadian disaster aid actors to critically reflect on their aid strategies for effective help, not merely rhetoric and band-aid solutions.RésuméCet article explore les tremblements de terre au Népal de 2015 comme un cas de diplomatie canadienne en cas de catastrophe, retraçant les relations diplomatiques entre le Canada et le Népal. Nous soutenons que le réchauffement des relations diplomatiques entre ces pays au cours de la 50e année diplomatique a fait bondir le soutien du Canada à la suite des tremblements de terre de 2015 au Népal. Les tremblements de terre ont accru la participation des Canadiens népalais aux efforts de secours, renforcé leur identité diasporique et accru leur visibilité en tant que communauté de minorité visible au sein de la diaspora asiatique au Canada tout en faisant ressortir les divisions politiques entre eux. Dans ce contexte, nous nous demandons : quelles leçons peut-on tirer des efforts canadiens de diplomatie en cas de catastrophe dans la région de l'Asie du Sud ? Sur la base de preuves sur le terrain, nous soutenons que les acteurs non étatiques, l'aide occidentale en cas de catastrophe, et les efforts des gouvernements locaux ne parviennent pas à fournir des secours en cas de catastrophe en quantités socialement optimales. Nous exhortons les agences canadiennes de l'aide aux sinistrés à réfléchir de manière critique à leurs stratégies d'aide pour être mieux capable d’offrir une aide efficace, et non seulement de la rhétorique et des solutions de fortune.Keywords: disaster diplomacy, Canada, Nepal, Nepal earthquake 2015Mots-clés : diplomatie en cas de catastrophe, Canada, Népal, séisme au Népal 2015
Fashion diplomacy: Canada’s shared role in supporting garment worker safety in Bangladesh
Authors: Hanlon Mary Frances , Brydges Taylor
Published: November 2023

Abstract In this article, we investigate Canada’s shared role in supporting worker safety and responsible fashion and apparel in Bangladesh. Drawing on two case studies, the Rana Plaza factory collapse and the COVID-19 pandemic, we investigate the Government of Canada’s varied response to the impact of these crises on garment workers. To investigate this, and to advance our understanding of Canada’s own role in supporting garment worker safety and agency in responsible fashion and apparel production, we turn to the concept of ‘fashion diplomacy.’ We argue that if Canada hopes to play a leading role in supporting responsible fashion and apparel practices in an ever-changing landscape, it must develop inclusive policy solutions capable of addressing the diverse and at times divergent interests of state and non-state actors both at home and abroad. In doing so, we identify possible strategies for Canada in addressing the new and emerging Indo-Pacific strategic environment.RésuméDans cet article, nous examinons le rôle partagé du Canada dans le soutien de la sécurité des travailleurs et de la mode et des vêtements au Bangladesh. En nous appuyant sur deux études de cas, l'effondrement de l'usine Rana Plaza et la pandémie de COVID-19, nous examinons la réponse variée du gouvernement du Canada à l'impact de ces crises sur ces travailleurs. Pour enquêter cela et pour avancer notre compréhension du rôle du Canada dans le soutien de la sécurité des travailleurs des s et de l'agence dans la production responsable de mode et de vêtements, nous nous tournons vers le concept de « diplomatie de la mode ». Nous soutenons que si le Canada espère jouer un rôle de premier plan dans le soutien des pratiques responsables en matière de mode et des vêtements dans un paysage en constante évolution, il doit élaborer des solutions politiques inclusives qui sont capables de répondre aux intérêts divers et parfois divergents des acteurs étatiques et non étatiques, tant au niveau du pays or de l’état et à l'étranger. Ce faisant, nous identifions des stratégies possibles pour le Canada face au nouvel environnement stratégique émergent de l'Indopacifique.Keywords: Fashion diplomacy, sustainable fashion, labour rights, cultural diplomacy, Canada, BangladeshMots-clés : Diplomatie de la mode, mode durable, droits du travail, diplomatie culturelle, Canada, Bangladesh

Published: November 2023

Juvenile systemic lupus erythematosus is a multisystem disorder of autoimmune aetiology and is diagnosed on the basis of criteria such as the constitutional symptoms, various symptoms, and signs related to multi-system involvement and supporting laboratory investigations. It is sometimes very challenging when we come across some JSLE cases with an atypical presentation or as a catastrophe. We have discussed a few atypical cases of systemic lupus erythematosus here. Definitive diagnostic tests such as the anti-nuclear antibody with a high negative predictive value and other diagnostic tests would take time and it is worth starting treatment rather than waiting for the investigations in some cases. This case report study is to sensitise the treating paediatrician to use clinical acumen to plan meticulously the management of JSLE cases.
The Development of Science Process Skills and of Content Knowledge with Inquiry Boxes in Early Childhood Education
Authors: Golob Nikolaja , Ungar Vanja
Published: November 2023

This paper aims to investigate the systematic use of an inquiry-based learning approach in science by using inquiry boxes for preschool children. We prepared four thematic inquiry boxes for the areas of magnetism and buoyancy, separation of substances, weighing objects, and the investigation of substances. The research sample consisted of twenty children aged four to five years. Ten children from the experimental group explored the material using the photo-type instructions on the instructional cards over a period of four weeks. Comparative test results for the control group children show that the experimental group children progressed both in content knowledge and in better-developed science process skills. We find that children develop autonomy in science process skills such as classifying, ordering, and weighing through prepared and guided inquiry with the help of the inquiry boxes. In doing so, children show increasing autonomy within each set of tasks that develop the chosen science process skill. In this manner, science practices with inquiry boxes allow children to build on science content knowledge. They can apply the skills they have learned through inquiry boxes to new knowledge instead of teaching science processes as isolated skills. This approach of individually guided inquiry by children using thematic inquiry boxes is therefore recommended as a proven didactic tool for developing science process skills and content knowledge.
Development and Bayesian calibration of a microsimulation model for lung cancer: natural history, screening and treatment
Authors:   , Nanayakkara Halloluwage Erandi Hasanthika
Published: November 2023

Lung cancer is one of the most common cancers and most deadly cancer in New Zealand and can affect anyone. In order to reduce the mortality rate from lung cancer and increase the survival rate of patients with lung cancer, early detection through screening is crucial. However, no national lung cancer screening program has been established in New Zealand to date. Consequently, microsimulation studies are an alternative method of analyzing the performance of screening processes at an individual level.

This thesis presents research on statistical methods for the development and evaluation of microsimulation models (MSM) for the natural history, screening, and treatment of lung cancer in New Zealand (NZ). Initially, we adapted a continuous-time MSM to describe the natural history of lung cancer and used it as a tool for the implementation of the calibration process and assessment of predictive accuracy. We performed a Bayesian calibration through the Hamiltonian Markov Chain (HMC) Monte Carlo approach. Bayesian calibration employs Bayesian reasoning to incorporate prior beliefs on model parameters, and information from various sources about lung cancer, to derive posterior distributions for the calibrated parameters. We then used the calibrated parameters to validate the natural history model based on the lung cancer data collected from the Ministry of Health, New Zealand. Furthermore, we studied the survival rate of lung cancer in NZ and evaluated how cancer screening affects mortality reduction. According to our knowledge, no research studies have been conducted in New Zealand on the development of microsimulation models for lung cancer. Our primary objective was to develop a microsimulation lung cancer screening model to analyze the mortality associated with lung cancer on an individual basis. Also, simulation algorithms were developed to simulate data and hence compare the performance of screening in terms of early detection. The entire methodology was implemented in R.4.0.4. Then, we considered a microsimulation model development with a treatment component to analyze the effect of treatment on individual data based on early detection through screening. Two treatment options, chemotherapy and gefitinib were considered in this study.

This thesis work contributes to a better understanding of the feasibility of developing microsimulation models to predict lung cancer survival in New Zealand, as well as a detailed analysis of the importance of screening at the individual level. We also identified several limitations and issues with model calibration due to the lack of data available in lung cancer data records in New Zealand.
A FUZZY-SOFT-SET THEORYAPPROACH FOR SOLVING DECISION-MAKING PROBLEMS ON CERTAIN HYBRID SET MODEL
Authors: Husain Shamshad , Tyagi Vipin Kumar , Gupta Mridul Kumar
Published: November 2023

Uncertainty is a key aspect that arises in any actual mathematical model and may lead to a change in the situation. Because of the presence of uncertainty in the model, it is particularly challenging to manage these models using conventional techniques. Fuzzy set theory and its extensions, such as intuitionistic fuzzy set, hesitant fuzzy set, rough fuzzy set, and hybrid fuzzy-soft-set theory, have been included into mathematics to manage this uncertainty. Applications of these concepts for the expansion of fuzzy set information, particularly the application to circumstances involving decision-making problems, have made some headway in this article in terms of their practicality. The methods for generating judgments based on (fuzzy) soft sets, including soft, rough sets and rough, soft sets, are also examined in this article. Innovative techniques and numerical examples have been provided in this study, with a focus on the use of hybrid models to address decision-making issues. It might serve as the complexity of hybrid soft set models that address decision-making issues.

Introduction. Recurrent urinary tract infections (RUTI) are one of the most common nosologies in the practice of a urologist. About half of all women will have at least one episode of urinary tract infection (UTI) during their lifetime. Antibiotic therapy remains the mainstay of treatment for UTI. The need to search for alternative options for the treatment and prevention of UTIs is dictated by the frequent use of antibacterial drugs. Most often they talk about the use of D-mannose and herbal remedies. The purpose of this literature review is to critically analyze clinical studies conducted to date that have examined the effectiveness and safety of D-mannose and herbal medicines for the prevention and treatment of RUTI. Materials and methods. 13 studies were analyzed that assessed the effectiveness of D-mannose and a combined herbal medicine with antibacterial therapy. Results. Herbal preparations from centaury herb, lovage roots, rosemary herb and lingonberry leaves in combination with D-mannose and antibacterial therapy had a number of advantages in clinical practice in the form of a decrease in the titer of pathogenic microflora. Conclusions. The NephroBest phytocomplex together with the polysaccharide D-mannose is well tolerated, has no side effects and demonstrates excellent clinical results in the form of reducing the risk of relapse, eliminating the pathogen, quickly reducing symptoms and improving laboratory parameters.

The purpose of this study was to develop a physics learning media Moodle-based with a scientific approach to static fluid that is feasible to use in the learning process. Previous research found that the media developed did not contain simulations which are very necessary in learning physics. Therefore, it is necessary to develop media that supports simulating physics practicums, especially in static fluids, and interactive. This study used the research and development (RnD) method, with the model ADDIE. However, because the goal was only to get the feasibility of the media, the steps were limited to three stages, which were Analyze, Design, and Development. This media is equipped with simulations using PhET and another Virtual Laboratory which can be accessed online through belajarsains-uns.com. The result is that the physics learning media Moodle-based on static fluids was successfully developed with very good criteria based on the assessments from expert validators, peer reviewers, and reviewers around 1364 of 1476. Meanwhile, during trials, some errors are found in the spelling of sentences. After revising, an increased score of the pre-test and post-test showed that learning media was effectively used and the questionnaire result met very good criteria, 5728 of 6840

Bacillus megaterium is a bacteria that causes human infections, causing keratitis, skin infections, brain abscesses and tissue infections. Treatment often uses chemical antibiotics. However, long-term antibiotics can cause new health problems such as resistance. Therefore, antibacterial ingredients are needed that can not only inhibit the growth of bacteria but also do not have a negative impact on health such as honey. Honey is thick, it can cure various diseases such as gastrointestinal, stomach, skin diseases, acute respiratory infections and coughs. This research aims to determine the ability of Sumbawa white honey as an antibacterial against B. megaterium. The method used in this research is paper disc diffusion. There were five treatments used in this study, between 100%, 75% and 25% honey concentrations, DMSO negative control and chloramphenicol positive control with five replications each. The results of the antibacterial activity test showed that the 100% concentration had an inhibitory zone diameter of 2.59 mm, then the 75% concentration was 1.46 while the 25% concentration was 0 mm. When compared with positive control, white honey was lower antibacterial. If it is in the white honey category, the inhibition zone category is included in the lower category.

A note on the evolution of the long linted Cottons for the Rice Fallows in the Madras State.
Authors:   Tamil Nadu Agricultural University Coimbatore  641 003, N VENKATARAMAN
Published: November 2023

The cultivation of cotton as a remunerative cash crop in between two crops of paddy in the rice growing regions of Madras has been made possible by the successful introduction of the short duration variety of cotton P 216 F. from the Punjab in the year 1950. This variety which has a duration of about five months is capable of yielding normally 250-300 pounds of lint per acre in addition to possessing a staple of 15/16", a ginning outturn of 32% and spinning performance of 30's (counts). A scheme financed by the Indian Central Cotton Committee has been functioning in Madras State since April 1954 for the spread of this strain both in the deltaic and the non-deltaic regions of this state. With the emphasis in cotton breeding having boon shifted to the evolution of long and extra long staple cottons in this country to save the much needed foreign exchange, the objective of the schome in its extended period from 1956 has been redefined as evolution of a long-linted short duration variety of cotton possessing a mean fibre length of over one inch, a ginning percent of 35 and above and a spinning capacity of 45's H. S. C. Possibilities of fitting in varieties with short duration and long staple were discussed by Kalyanaraman and Rangaswami (1957). The results of agronomic experiments conducted in the Rice Fallows were also reported by them.

It has been computed that an acre of good potato crop removes from the soil 47 pounds of nitrogen, 22 pounds of phosphoric acid and 77 pounds of potash. But in actual practice, a very much higher dose of these three nutrients has been found necessary in view of the peculiar soil and other natural conditions under which the crop is grown.

To find a promising drug for treatment of Alzheimer’s` is not that easy target. Although some medications have FDA approval for management of AD, all of them offer symptomatic benefits. This is because efforts to find the treatment are distributed among many targets in the brain which make it so difficult to find a drug that can correct all of them at once. The primary histopathologic lesions of Alzheimer’s pathology are amyloid plaques, NFTs and neuronal loss with a wide genetic background which deteriorate the patient condition so rapidly. In the current article, we highlight some lead compounds that protect brain cells from undergoing this dark pathway or, which is more important, to stop deterioration and worsening of the case after starting of the disease. sex lead compounds of natural sources suggested as anti-AD drugs with brief discussion of each of them regarding its chemistry, physiochemical properties, mechanism of action, bioavailability, derivatives and method of synthesis. These natural extracts can be expected as lead compounds for design and synthesis of more effective derivatives as prophylactic treatment against Alzheimer’s. The aim of our review is to help to direct efforts to treat AD toward the prophylactic choice according to research results and scientific facts.

This study intends to examine how employee behavior in financial management is influenced by financial trends, internal control location, and financial socialization variables. Employees in the financial department made up the study's population. Using a proportional random sampling method and sampling according to the Slovenian formula, 91 employees were included in the sample. A questionnaire was used to gather the information. Descriptive statistical analysis and structural equation modeling - partial least squares (SEM-PLS) analysis utilizing WarpPLS 6.0 software were the analytical techniques used. The findings demonstrated that financial trends significantly and favorably affect financial management behavior. Internal control's position has a positive and significant influence on how financial management behaves. Financial management behavior is significantly and favorably impacted by financial socialization agents. The guidance that can be gained from this research is the capacity to create favorable behavioral patterns of financial management by giving money for immediate requirements, the capacity to manage one's own money, and the capacity to stay current with financial information via a variety of media.

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a small, circular, partial double stranded DNA virus classified under hepadnaviridae. Almost more than 350 million HBV infected persons were reported universally. Blood/its product transfusion represents one of the commonly routes of HBV transmission that may increase the HBV infection globally. HBV is diagnosed routinely by detection of both HBV specific antigens (HBsAg, HBcAg, HBeAg) and antibody markers (HBcAb). ELISA and Electrochemiluminescent immunoassay (ECLIA) are the most common methods to detect HBV antigens or antibodies. This study aimed to compare between ECLIA (Cobas e 411) and ELISA for detecting HBsAg and Total HBcAb among blood donors at National Blood Transfusion Center-Taiz branch (NBTRC-TB). 125 blood samples that were tested by ECLIA were chosen randomly and re-tested using ELISA method. The result of HBsAg seropositivity by ELISA method appeared as 28/125 (22.4%) compared to 25/125 (20%) by ECLIA method; whereas the result of total HBcAb seropositivity by ELISA method appeared as102/125(81.6%) compared to 100/125(80%) by ECLIA method. The current study appears to be a rapprochement between the results of two methods (ELISA and ECLIA) for detection HBsAg and HBcAb). In abscess of ECLIA, ELISA could be a good technique for blood screening before transfusion. Using molecular methods such as PCR will be more a curate to ensure blood safety before transfusion.
