Wykorzystanie możliwości serwisu YouTube przez Rodzimy Kościół Polski w budowaniu społeczności wirtualnej
Authors: Daraż-Duda Katarzyna
Published: December 2021

Native Polish Church uses its YouTube channel - Rodzimy Kościół Polski RKP.ORG.PL - primarily as a space for sharing niche content, addressed to a specific group of recipients (native believers and people interested in Slavic Native Faith). YouTube is not recognised by the church as a space where an online community should, or can, be formed that would be willing to take collective action, whether in the online space or beyond. Restricting opportunities for interaction, by limiting the options for commenting on published material, is convenient from the perspective of the channel owners, as it does not require them to familiarise themselves with and moderate immediate feedback from YouTube users. However, the preferred style of communicating, from broadcaster to viewer, does not mean that the founder of the channel does not understand the principles of media activity on YouTube. Quite the contrary. Contemporary YouTube is not only about video, but also about podcasts, which - despite the fact that they “originated from radio” - successfully function in a platform that is so often defined, among other things, as a service for sharing and archiving audio-visual materials.
Film jako narzędzie przekazu informacji w literaturze XX wieku
Authors: Ślósarz Anna
Published: December 2021

The authors of this article discuss the many different ways in which writer can use the literary affordances of film. Writers present diverse approach to intersubjective codes of cinema, according to the authors, while extremes emerged in literary genres. Moreover, the author’s claim, the attitude writers take to film works and means of expression of the film can be radically different. Authorial approaches range from being fascinated with film methods of presenting reality (Tadeusz Peiper) and using them as a way to stimulate the reader's imagination (Stephen King), to ignoring such methods, regarding them as extremely conventionalized or even trivial (Zbigniew Herbert) and therefore not worthy of interest. The 460 works of ten authors were analysed to find the contexts in which the words film and movie appear. The authors found that Tadeusz Peiper was fascinated by silent films while Zbigniew Herbert, who evaluated them from perspective of time, condemned their conventions. Making references to film assisted Andrzej Stasiuk in presenting local community, and it helped Stephen King gaining global fame. Prominent playwriters either ignored affordances of film in their literary works (e.g. Samuel Beckett and Tom Stoppard) or affordances were key in their dramas: e.g. Tennessee Williams, who used numerous cinematic references to portray his characters; intersubjective communication codes made Williams’s plays popular.

Published: December 2021

The article discusses the most important popular portals on history in the Polish language. The analysis assumes an interdisciplinary approach to the issue in hand, regarding both the content of the portals under analysis and the degree to which they have user friendly design. The article will focus on the following websites: “Ciekawostki Historyczne”, „Twoja Historia”, „Dzieje.pl”, „Histmag.org”, „Historia.org.pl”, and „Historykon.pl”. They have been selected according to their popularity measured by the number of visits per month. The first part of the article will explore the general idea behind a given portal, its content, the themes it discusses, as well as the degree of competence of its published texts. The other part of the article will mainly concentrate on the question of the design of the interface of each portal, which determines their functionality for the user. The analysis will then lead up to more general conclusions on the presence of historical narratives and themes in the internet as well as on the issue of technological sophistication of historical websites.
Kształcenie specjalistów z zakresu data science na poziomie studiów wyższych w Europie
Authors: Jarczewska-Walendziak Katarzyna , Kowalska-Chrzanowska Małgorzata , Krysiński Przemysław
Published: December 2021

Purpose: The aim of the paper is to analyse educational programs of data science at institutions of higher learning in Europe for the 2020-2021 academic year. The authors try to answer the following questions: What are the education possibilities for individuals, who would like to follow the professional path of data science analytics? Where and how one may obtain the required competences? What competences may be earned during higher studies? What professions are predestined by data science studies? Design/methodology/approach: The authors conduct the analysis of 100 randomly selected bachelor, major and post-graduate curricula that are found in the didactic offer of various institutions of higher learning. The basic information about the offered courses have been obtained through individual searches in the resources of a number of Internet portals (e.g. Studies in Europe, Academiccourses.com, Studia.gov.pl, Postgrad.com and MastersPortal.com). On the basis of information provided in websites of every indicated institution of higher learning, the characterisation of studies was conducted, with consideration for the following criteria: branch name, academic unit, description of curriculum (preliminary requirements, offered knowledge and skills, potential employment), duration of learning, course type, subject taught. Findings: The conducted research prove the diversity with respect to the offered forms of data scientists’ education. In Europe, this curriculum is offered at bachelor level by ca. 30 institutions of higher learning, at major level - by ca. 170 institutions and at post-graduate level - by ca. 350 institutions. The most varied educational contents are offered in post-graduate courses. All study programs identified by the authors are profiled for the needs of certain disciplines - especially IT and mathematics, statistics and economy. The candidates for higher learning courses are often expected to possess advanced skills in the scope of ICT, and often also professional experience in the field of data analysis. The majority of courses is paid. Depending on the level of education, the course lasts from one to four years. Study programs are dominated by IT subjects, enriched with general curriculum subject modules. The majority of branches makes it possible to earn knowledge and skills in the field of IT and exact sciences, especially the methods of aggregating, storing and processing of Big Data, the rules of correct and effective programming, performing statistical analyses and interpreting their results. Among the identified branches of studies, the surprising is the small number of opportunities directly addressed to graduates of the humanities’ studies, including the widely understood information studies (information management, information broking, library science, information architecture, information science).
Funkcja, działalność i usługi informacyjne – terminy z zakresu bibliologii i informatologii na polu archiwistyki
Authors: Cołbecka Monika
Published: December 2021

This article is a continuation of research and a deeper study of archivists’ current understanding of concepts drawn from bibliology and information science theory. Starting with a discussion of the similarities between these academic disciplines, the following terms will be discussed: the informational function, informational activities, and informational services of archives. In order to distinguish between them, the author traced the context in which they have so far appeared in bibliological, informological, and archival literature, even without the accompanying adjective “informational”. The result of such an analysis is the definition of these terms for archival science and a precise delineation of the boundaries between them.

Published: December 2021

This article examined quantitatively and qualitatively, the evolution of the Internet theme in the journal, Przegląd Edukacyjny between 1994 and 2020. Through the use of the browse, bibliographic and bibliometrics methods, it was found that 50 articles in the journal address Internet issues, and the journal’s first issue about the internet was written in 2000. The issue was introduced by Prof. Bogusław Śliwerski who wrote about the need for the rational use of the Internet in education and its influence on the shape of the school of the future. In the second half of the first decade of this century, the topic of the Internet was most often discussed in the already published Issues 14 to 17, and these comprised 90% of the 50 articles found. The articles covered the following (in order of the most frequently appearing issues): projects, educational competitions, advantages of using the Internet in the classroom, threats related to the use of the Internet, e-learning, m-learning, news from the world of science, copyrights, social media and rules of creating and editing Internet messages.
Czy bibliotekarze mogą budować sieci społecznego zaangażowania? Wyniki badania postaw personelu bibliotecznego
Authors: Wojciechowska Maja
Published: December 2021

Research on social capital carried out in recent years shows that its development and strengthening of social networks can also be influenced by various types of cultural and scientific institutions working for the benefit of local communities. Although libraries were originally established for a very different purpose, it is noteworthy that they are among the few institutions that enjoy a high level of trust from the public. As such, they can contribute to building local social networks and social capital. In order for these processes to take place, it is necessary to have both the premises and equipment available in the local centres, as well as appropriate personnel with specific attitudes, knowledge, experience, and preparation for these types of activities. To illustrate conditions in library institutions, this paper presents the results of a survey of library staff attitudes, conducted among library staff from twenty countries around the world. The research confirmed the presence of pro-social attitudes in this group.

Published: December 2021

A printed dedication is usually addressed to a particular person. However, since it is included in every copy of the book, it reaches all readers. Its content, often expanded in the 19th century, provided a wealth of interesting information about the author, book and addressee. Many elements in dedications could encourage people to buy or read the books containing them. For example, authors of these dedications cited scientific authorities or mentioned the titles of works already known to readers. Sometimes dedications presented the content of the books or were related to them.
Działalność wydawnicza i prasotwórcza lwowskiej Izby Handlowej i Przemysłowej (do 1918 roku)
Authors: Meus Konrad
Published: December 2021

Among the most important economic institutions operating in Lviv in the times of Galician autonomy were the Chamber of Commerce and Industry and its subordinate Institute of Technology, which had existed since 1909. The most important functions of the Institute included publishing activities on the book and press markets. The Institute of Technology specialised in publishing trade titles targeted at Galician industrial entrepreneurs and craftsmen. Particularly noteworthy was a biweekly magazine called “Rękodzielnik” published between 1912 and 1914. Before the outbreak of World War I, it was the most widely read magazine in Lviv and Eastern Galicia dedicated to small and medium-sized craft businesses. It published primarily specialised articles on the latest production techniques used in crafts and industry, as well as journalistic texts that attempted - mostly successfully - to discuss vital issues related to the current economic policy of the state (Austria-Hungary) and the country (Galicia). In addition, the Institute of Technology (and, through it, the Chamber of Commerce and Industry) also made its presence known in the book market. Only in the years preceding the war were several highly specialised books on handicraft production methods and science materials published under the Institute’s name. The Institute’s publishing activity came to a halt temporarily during the Great War and the ensuing Russian occupation of Lviv. The residents of Lviv had to wait until the early 1920s for the Chamber and Institute of Technology to resume their publishing activities

Comparative LM, SEM and EDAX study of chalk glands on leaf and stem of two species of Plumbago Linn.
Authors: Chaudhari Smita S.
Published: December 2021

Stem and leaves of two species of PlumbagoLinn.viz. P. zeylanica Linn.andP. auriculata Lam. were investigated for the structure and chemical composition of chalk glands.  Light Microscopy (LM) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) revealed the presence of chalk glands on both lower as well as upper surface of leaf and stem of both species. Chalk glands are abundant on lower surface and sparse on upper surface of leaf. Chalk glands are approximately hemispherical glands with oval or almost circular outline. It is composed of 8 cells arranged in two circles – central circle of 4 secretory cells and outer circle of 4 adjoining cells. Each secretory cell has depression which corresponds to pore. Each gland is surrounded by 4 subsidiary cells. No significant difference in the structure of chalk glands in both species was noticed. Chalk glands occupy three different positions with regard to epidermal cells –at the same level of the epidermis, slightly sunken in the epidermis and slightly raised above the epidermis. Common elements found in EDAX analysis of all chalk glands are carbon, oxygen, magnesium, sulphur, potassium and calcium.  Differences in the presence of elements silicon, chlorine, aluminium, sodium, phosphorus were observed. The presence of significant amount of calcium in chalk glands and their dried deposits and absence of sodium and chlorine from dried deposits and even in some chalk glands appealed to use the term ‘Chalk gland’ instead of ‘Salt gland’ in Plumbago.

The main objective of this research is to estimate the situation of occurance of aflatoxins in feedstuffs and aflatoxin M1 raw cow`s milk in Republic of North Macedonia. Detected average concentrations of total aflatoxins in the examined period 2014-2017 were below legal prescribed level. Within the official monitoring programme in the country, 1718 samples of raw cow's milk have been analyzed during 2017 and 2018. Comparison of the data showed that the number of examined samples with values for aflatoxin M1 above the allowed limits, according to the regulation is in 2018 (10 samples) and 2017 (5 samples). Additionally, the calculation of exposure assessment of the human population in North Macedonia demonstrated that the exposure to AFM1 of the adult population in N. Macedonia for 2017 is 0.0563 ng/kg bw/daily, and for 2018 is 0.0824 ng/kg bw/daily. The calculated hazard index (HI) In both years, was lower than one, which means that there are no significant health risks for the consumers. It is important to have continuously low levels of aflatoxins in animal feed and nutrition, especially that the climate changes create more favorable conditions for the development of moulds of Aspergillus.

Authors: BANU IULIANA , NEAGU CORINA , APRODU IULIANA
Published: December 2021

Blends of wheat, rye and barley were used to obtain multigrain milling fractions. The multigrain flours were further subjected to fermentation, and the metabolites profile and the nutritional potential of the obtain sourdoughs were explored. Increasing the level of rye and barley in the multigrain blends resulted in increased DPPH RSA, total phenolic and folic acid contents in flours and brans. The level of panthotenic acid decreased in flours and brans, with the increase of rye and barley levels. Both spontaneous and lactic acid bacteria assisted sourdough fermentation resulted in lower levels of folic acid compared to the corresponding flours, but the concentration increased with the level of rye and barley within blends. The metabolites biosynthesized by lactic acid bacteria varied with the levels of rye and barley in the blends. Multigrain milling and sourdough fermentation are valuable tools for modulating the nutritional profile of the cereal based food products.

Published: December 2021

Objective: morphological substantiation of efficiency of prompt neutralization of traumatic action of exogenous and endogenous damage factors in burn injuries in experimental conditions. After simulating the burns on 60 rats, the traumatic hyperthermic damage factors in the main group were immediately neutralized by a gauze napkin soaked in water. Depending on its duration, the animals were divided into subgroups. Such applications were not performed on the control group. The study involved histological examination of tissues. Animals of the main groups had the presence of histologically confirmed skin appendages with a formed scar of connective tissue without signs of inflammation. In animals of the control group there were no skin appendages, which indicates a deeper thermal damage to tissues and the impossibility of self-epithelialization of wounds. These results confirm the importance and necessity of prompt neutralization of the traumatic effect of damage factors as the main elements of burn depth formation.

SATB1 (Special AT-rich sequence binding protein 1) plays key role in chromatin remodeling and geneexpression. SATB1 has been shown to promote invasion, migration and metastasis. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms, function and clinicopathological features of SATB1 in gastric cancer (GC) remains poorly understood. Here, we show that SATB1 plays critical role in GC progression. SATB1 upregulates in GC patients’ samples and shows co-apmlification with a subset of oncogenic proteins (PRICKLE2, ZEB1, CBWX7, WWTR1, ENAH, DZIP1, IGSF11, ZSCAN18, GFRA2, GFRA1, FGFR1, HDAC4, GHR, TIMP3, CLIP4, TAGLN and ILK) in different subtypes of GC. SATB1 shows positive correlation with GC promoting oncogenes and enhances the expression of metastasis associated genes in GC samples to potentiate GC progression. SATB1 enhances WNT/NOTCH signaling axis in GC samples. In contrast, STAB1 suppresses a network of tumor suppressor genes in GC samples. Moreover, SATB1 expression negatively correlates with GC patient’s survival. Importantly, we found that SATB1 co-amplified genes CLIP4, DZIP1 and PRICKLE2 independently involve in GC progression. Overexpression of CLIP4, DZIP1 and PRICKLE2 show poor survival rates in GC patients. DZIP1 empowers AKT3/FGF2/FGFR1 and CXCR3/CXCR6 in GC patients. PRICKLE2 enhances GC progression by targeting FGFR1/NOTCH3/WNT4 signaling. Taken together, these results identified novel roles of SATB1, CLIP4, DZIP1 and PRICKLE2 in the GC invasion, migration and metastasis using cancer bioinformatics approach. These results highlights clinical significance of SATB1, CLIP4, DZIP1 and PRICKLE2 in GC patients and furthermore, these proteins may serve as prognostic markers in GC. These results also provide SATB1, CLIP4, DZIP1 and PRICKLE2 as potential chemotherapeutic targets in treatment of gastric cancer patients.

Many plants are largely used in alternative medicine of Burkina Faso for neuropsychiatric disorders treatment. However, their neuro-pharmacological properties are less evaluated through scientific studies. The present study aims to evaluate the neuroprotective effect of Calotropis procera leaves and root-bark aqueous extract, focusing on a scopolamine-induced model of epilepsy in rodents. In this study, we evaluated this plant extracts possible protective effects on the central nervous system, through the behavioral tests and the enzymes activity assays. Thus, elevated plus-maze test and Y-maze task were used to evaluate animals behavioral and UV/visible spectrophotometer methods were used to evaluate the enzyme’s activities in brain’s supernatant. Our results are showing no significant protective effects of leaves extract, but it revealed a significant neuroprotective effect of root-bark aqueous extract, as well as in the behavioral tests and the brain’s oxidative enzymes specific activity evaluation. Indeed, anti-amnesic and anxiolytic activities were observed through Y maze task and elevated plus maze tests for the groups of animals receiving root-bark extract (100 mg/kg b.w.). In these test, inhibition of disturbances of Time spent in Open Arms, Spontaneous Alternation, and Transfer Latency induced after scopolamine administration were recorded with animals received root-bark extract. Likewise, the superoxide dismutase and catalase activity disturbance induced by scopolamine were also inhibited in root-bark extract pre-administered group. Thus, our study provides biochemical and neuro-pharmacological data for traditional use of C. procera for neuropsychiatric disorders treatment, including scopolamine-induced epilepsy symptoms (mainly referring to the psychiatric comorbidities of this disorder).

The aim of the paper is to show the reaction of maize crop to the foliar application of new biofertilizers, obtained from the residues left after the wool tanning process and which are based on protein hydrolysates of keratin and collagen. The tests have been performed in microplots (10 sqm) and macroplots (1000 sqm), in three repetitions, in southern Romania. All data obtained as a result of the 2020 autumn harvest have been centralized in tables and statistically processed, in order to establish the influence of each product, compared to the control. The bifactorial analyses show that, in climatic stress conditions (prolonged drought – Calarasi), very significant increases in yield have been obtained with K4 (2.5 and 5.0 l/ha), K5 (5.0 l/ha) and C (5.0 l/ha), with increases between 700 and 1300 kg/ha, ie up to +24%. In macroplots, subject to a moderate drought (Teleorman), product C (5.0 l/ha) brought a yield increase of 1537 kg/ha (+26%), noting that in this location almost all tested biostimulators offer very significant yield growth (except KC). Based on the 2020 yields, it was possible to identify which the foliar biostimulators that will continue to be tested in 2021.

Published: December 2021

Dehydration responsive element binding (DREB) are important regulatory molecules which have a crucial role in abiotic stress tolerance. The productivity of tomato, as a drought-sensitive crop, is highly restricted by drought stress. The current study aimed at introducing the OsDERB2A gene into two tomato genotypes via Agrobacterium-mediated transformation system. Cotyledonary explants were pre-cultured for two days with Agrobacterium strain LBA4404 harboring pCAMBIA1301 with OsDREB2A driven by the constitutive promoter CaMV35S for transformation. Shoots were directly regenerated on MS medium containing 1 mg l-1 zeatin and 1 mg l-1 BAP, and in presence of 30 mg l-1 hygromycin as selective agent. Only eight weeks were needed to regenerate transgenic tomato using this protocol. An OD600 of 0.4 resulted in 64.3-76.9% transformation efficiency. Stable integration and expression of the OsDREB2A gene were confirmed in transgenic tomato using PCR and RT-PCR analyses, and drought tolerance of T0 transgenic lines was confirmed by leaf disc assay in 300 mM mannitol. The superior biomass, photosynthetic pigments, free soluble sugars and proline accumulation of OsDREB2A transgenic lines over wild type in response to mannitol-stress revealed their enhanced drought tolerance and indicated that the constitutive expression of OsDREB2A might modulate the expression of other drought responsive genes.

COMERCIALIZACIÓN DE PRODUCTOS FINANCIEROS COMPLEJOS: RESPONSABILIDAD POR OMISIÓN DE LOS DEBERES CONDUCTUALES DERIVADOS DE LA BUENA FE
Authors: De la Fuente Núñez de Castro María Soledad
Published: December 2021

La comercialización de productos financieros de alto riesgo es una cuestión controvertida por el importante desembolso económico que realiza el adquirente de los mismos. Su suscripción y adquisición mediante contratos de adhesión limitan la posibilidad de intervención del cliente en el proceso de contratación. Por ello, el ordenamiento jurídico ha tenido que arbitrar modos alternativos para que el consentimiento del mismo este correctamente formado. Cuando quiebran los deberes precontractuales de conducta por la falta de diligencia del deudor de los mismos, el cliente ha de ser resarcido. Tradicionalmente este resarcimiento se lograba mediante el ejercicio de una acción de anulabilidad por error-vicio siempre que el mismo fuese esencial y excusable. En los últimos años, nuestro Tribunal Supremo ha autorizado una vía alternativa mediante la indemnización por daños al amparo del artículo 1101 del CC.
Latvijas Republikas Satversmes 4. panta pirmā teikuma “Valsts valoda Latvijas Republikā ir latviešu valoda” zinātnisko komentāru papildinājums
Authors: Balodis Ringolds
Published: December 2021

The Latvian language is an essential element of constitutional identity of the Republic of Latvia, without which the Latvian constitutional system and the system of Constitution cannot be imagined, as such. Since 2021, the Official Language Day on 15 October has been celebrated. According to the President of Latvia Egils Levits the Official Language Day may serve as another opportunity to spread awareness and promote the use of the Latvian language as one of the main constitutional values of our state and nation. The Official Language Day is a meaningful contribution to the future tradition of celebrating the official language across society. The current study focuses on the issue of the official language in Latvia and its importance from the perspective of constitutional law. The experience of the Republic of Latvia is divided into two periods. The first – covers the period 1918–1940, when it was interrupted by the Soviet occupation. Consequently, after the restoration of independence in 1990, the second period can be defined: 1990–currently. If during the pre-war period the Latvian language was only enshrined in law, during the second period the official language has been enshrined in the Constitution (Satversme). The official language of the Latvian Constitution is specified in Section 4. The given article is designed to supplement the scientific comments of Section 4, which was issued in 2014.

Authors: Pashkov Vitalii , Soloviov Oleksii , Harkusha Andrii
Published: December 2021

Digitalisation of pharmaceutical activities is creating a new type of pharmaceutical market, a more flexible and less costly; yet it has become more dangerous for patients and the economic stability. The reason is the imperfection of the legal regulation and online sales of pharmaceutical products, in particular. It is necessary to clarify that digitalisation of pharmaceutical activities is not only about online sales of pharmaceutical products. It is also digital marketing, which includes promoting pharmaceutical products via the Internet, including advertising such products. Research shows that prescription drugs are sold to such patients by both illegal online pharmacies and legal ones. Most counterfeit medicines are sold through illegal online pharmacies. The purpose of the article is to draw attention to the need for legal support for the activities of Internet pharmacies using more efficient technologies, including limiting their activities. Carrying out the research, several scientific methods were used. The methods of system-structural analysis, induction and deduction were used at all stages of the research in the study of the legal regulation of the sale of medicines in various countries through Internet pharmacies, the practice of its use, the state of illegal behavior in this area, analytical materials and scientific sources. The formal-logical method was used to study regulatory acts and international documents, the comparative-legal method was used to perform comparative analysis of the legal regulation of Internet pharmacies’ activity, as well as the practice of its application in the countries of the European Union, the USA, Turkey, Ukraine, and some Arab states. It should be noted that in the EU member countries, due to single European economic and customs area and general regulation, the problems of Internet pharmacies are of the same nature. The content analysis method was implemented for studying journalistic materials and researching websites that offer distance selling, online ordering, and delivery of pharmaceutical products to a consumer in various ways.
Keywords: online pharmacies, digital marketing, digitalisation of pharmacy.

The problems that arise when protecting archaeological monuments are relevant not only for Ukraine but also for many countries of the world. Preserving history is an important task for every civilized country. To ensure effective protection of historical heritage of Ukraine, it is necessary to have effective mechanisms to prevent and protect archaeological monuments against destruction and theft. Formation and development of forensic historical and archaeological examination is essential to improve Ukrainian legislation, including the field of forensic science. To effectively apply state policy on the issues of archaeological monuments preservation while pre-trial investigation of criminal offenses, it is necessary to make an active use of special knowledge in the field of historical and archaeological research. One of the peculiarities of forensic research is that it should be performed in compliance with appropriately approved expert methods, characterised by combining in itself the ne­cessary requirements for research and being the basis for quality and speed for solving forensic examination tasks. In this regard, their study and development are significant in research and practice. The aim of the article is to study the role of forensic historical and archaeological examination in preservation of archaeological heritage. It analyses the respective literature and legislation of Ukraine dedicated to forensic examination, forensic historical and archaeological examination and international experience in the field of archaeology.

Term ‘Household’ in the Latvian Legal Framework
Authors: Rozentāle Lidija
Published: December 2021

Originality / value – the content of this article – is based on the author’s own original research. The study presents empirically tested arguments, interpretation of the term ‘household’ in the Latvian regulatory enactments. At a time when a state of emergency has been declared in the country, in such circumstances there is neither precise normative terminology, nor criteria for defining household. Those applying legislation have no uniform understanding as to whether a relationship established in a partnership can be viewed as household. This issue requires further research and discussion. The aim of the publication is to reveal some legal issues that directly affect couples living in a household.
Keywords: partnership, relationship, common household.
Krieg oder Frieden. Auf der Suche nach einem Tertium Datur
Authors: Taureck Bernhard
Published: December 2021

There is a consensus on war: violent conflicts are out. But they continue to happen. One likes to exclude violent conflicts and to avoid them. But they could happen. Avoidance of wars appears not be sufficient. International relations presuppose an international anarchy. Anarchy does not exclude wars, but reduces them to exceptions. The present essay attempts to argue in favour of a categorical exclusion of violent conflicts which easily could destroy vital conditions of human survival.

An observational study of salivary C-reactive protein as a potential novel non-invasive biomarker of neonatal sepsis
Authors: Murugesan Induparkavi , Rai Sanjeev B.
Published: December 2021

Objectives:

Serial C-reactive protein (CRP) monitoring helps to rule out and prognosticate sepsis. Small blood volumes in neonates make it difficult for repeated blood draws for serial CRP monitoring. Hence, the need of the hour is a non-invasive method such as CRP estimation in saliva. This study aims to correlate salivary CRP with serum CRP levels and establish the potential clinical utility of salivary CRP in diagnosing neonatal sepsis.

Materials and Methods:

Twenty-three consecutive neonates diagnosed with clinically suspected sepsis and admitted to the NICU were the study subjects. Demographics such as gestational age and weight at birth, sex and detailed clinical features, and comorbidities were noted. Blood samples for CRP estimation and blood culture were collected as soon as clinical suspicion of sepsis arose. Saliva samples were collected for CRP estimation within 1 h of blood sample collection. The saliva was collected in a 2 mL syringe using low suction. Salivary and serum CRP were estimated by the particle enhanced immunoturbidimetric assay.

Results:

In our study, the CRP levels in saliva correlated moderately well with CRP levels in serum (Spearman correlation coefficient r = 0.582,P= 0.004). The sensitivity and specificity of salivary CRP to predict a serum level of ≥10 mg/L were observed to be 0.75 and 0.93, respectively.

Conclusion:

Our study shows the promise of salivary CRP as a potential clinically meaningful biomarker of neonatal sepsis and warrants the need for larger studies to validate the utility of salivary CRP to serially monitor neonatal sepsis.
