Szymon Askenazy – szkic do portretu historyka neoromantycznego
Authors: Hinc Alina
Published: January 2022

Niniejszy artykuł ma na celu przybliżenie postaci Szymona Askenazego jako jednego z najpoczytniejszych historyków polskich przełomu XIX i XX w. oraz ukazanie wartości jego dokonań na niwie historycznej. Głównymi wątkami, wokół których toczy się narracja są: czynniki kształtujące postawę naukową Szymona Askenazego, wpływ epoki, w której przyszło mu żyć, na jego twórczość oraz rolę, jaką odegrał w ówczesnym środowisku historycznym. Najkrócej rzecz ujmując, można stwierdzić, że Szymon Askenazy osiągnął na początku XX w. w naukowym życiu polskich elit wysoką pozycję, której nie sposób dzisiaj zakwestionować. Przede wszystkim był pierwszym historykiem, który na niespotykaną dotąd skalę rozpoczął na ziemiach polskich badania nad dziejami porozbiorowymi. Nazywany „przewodnikiem niosącym otuchę” nawiązywał zdecydowanie do polskiego oświecenia i romantyzmu, przeciwstawiając się jednocześnie dominacji pozytywistycznego myślenia. Stąd też uważa się go za czołowego przedstawiciela nurtu neoromantycznego w historiografii polskiej.

Szymon Askenazy – sketch to the portrait of a neoromantic historian

The article aims to discuss the character of Szymon Askenazy, one of the most read Polish historians of the turn of the 20th century, and to show how valuable his achievements are for history. The narrative revolves around the factors which influenced scientific approach of Szymon Askenazy, the influence of the times he lived in on his work, and the role he played in the historic milieu of his times. In short, one might say that Szymon Askenazy, at the beginning of the 20th century, indisputably achieved a high position in the academic circles of the Polish elites. First of all, he was the first historian in Poland who, to an extent unseen before, started research on the history of Poland before partitions. He was often called “a guide bringing comfort”, and he made references to the Polish Enlightenment and Romantic periods, opposing at the same time the dominance of Positivism. Thus, he is considered the main representative of the neo-romantic current in the Polish historiography.

The social changes that characterize the current period have their consequences in the field of higher education. A new practice is emerging that higher education is viewed through market mechanisms and that it is equated with goods. The state is changing its approach in relation to important social phenomena and thus in relation to education. As a consequence, there is a specific position of higher education institutions founded by the Republic of Serbia. The state in no way undertakes mechanisms so that the institutions of which it is the founder have a better position in relation to the higher education institutions whose founder is a private entity. The state even encourages investments of the capital of private founders in higher education, and interprets this, quite wrongly, as significant investments that have been made in the field of higher education.

Introduction: Endodontic treatment failure can be caused by the bacterium E. faecalis, which has a prevalence of up to 90%. E. faecalis is difficult to eradicate because it forms a biofilm to defend itself against antibacterial agents. Lime leaves are one of the many herbal products available in Indonesia (Citrus hystrix DC). Lime leaf extracts include antibacterial components such as essential oils, phenolics, alkaloids, saponins, and tannins. The purpose of this study was to investigate the antibacterial activity of lime leaf extract against E. faecalis bacterium. Material and Methods:The agar diffusion technique was used for four experimental groups, using lime leaf extract at 4% (group 1), 8% (group 2), and 16% (group 3) as the negative control. Each group was repeated six times on Muller Hinton Agar (MHA) medium with a paper disc, and the diameter of the inhibitory zone was measured with a caliper. Results and Discussions: The results revealed that a 4 % concentration of lime leaf extract had an average inhibition zone diameter of 7.31 mm, an 8 % concentration had an average inhibition zone diameter of 8.59 mm, and a 16 % concentration had an average inhibition zone diameter of 11.41 mm. The difference in the inhibition zone was statistically significant (p= 0,000) evaluated using the one-way ANOVA. Conclusion: It can be concluded that lime leaf extract is antibacterial potential against E. faecalis bacteria in the endodontic treatment.

Published: January 2022

AbstractVisum et repertum (VeR) is a medical certificate used for judicial needs in the form of a written report made by a doctor containing the results of the examination. VeR is one of the five legal pieces of evidence in court. Making a VeR that is not following hospital procedures can lead to the submission of evidence in court proceedings. This study aims to determine the standard procedure for implementing medical information for VeR and the types of cases for which a VeR is requested. This type of research is a literature review using Google Scholar and Garuda databases with a boolean system strategy. The flow of the implementation of patient medical information for VeR begins with the police submitting a letter of request for VeR to the hospital administration by bringing the requirements of an official request letter from the director of the hospital. The visa request letter and the report are placed in the Medical Record Installation for further processing by the Medical Record. The types of cases requested for VeR are divided into two, namely for living victims and dead victims. Living victims are divided into injuries, sexual crimes, and psychiatric.Keywords: literature review, visum et repertum (VeR), fixed procedure, type of request. AbstrakVisum et repertum (VeR) merupakan surat keterangan medis yang sifatnya dipergunakan untuk kebutuhan peradilan berupa laporan tertulis yang dibuat oleh dokter yang memuat hasil pemeriksaan.

Authors:   Rivers State University, Department of Economics, Kpagih Leera
Published: January 2022

No country is an island. The globalization phenomenon is making all countries to be interdependent. The external sector environment has become critical for the success of every country and internal balance. Thus, it has become important to examine how much the externa sector environment impact on the performance of the domestic economy. The present study, therefore, examined the influence of Nigerian external sector environment on the performance of the Nigerian manufacturing sector between 1981 and 2019. The study adopted exp-post research design approach and the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model estimation techniques. The empirical model consists of the Nigerian manufacturing sector output index as the dependent variable and exchange rate, trade openness, and foreign direct investment as independent variables and external sector environment variables. Test of unit root results indicated that the variables have mix order of integration, while the co integration analysis results indicated that the variables in the model have stable long run relationship. Estimate of the ARDL model reveals that in the short run exchange rate variations have negative, but significant effect on manufacturing sector performance, while trade openness, and FDI have positive but insignificant influence on the manufacturing sector performance in the short run. In the long run, exchange rate level and FDI inflows have positive and significant effect on the manufacturing sector performance, while trade openness has negative and significant effect on the Nigerian manufacturing sector performance. The study therefore conclude that the Nigerian external sector Environment has significant influence on the performance of the Nigerian manufacturing sector.

Published: January 2022

Practice and applicability of environmental journalism accelerate changes in environmental policy, foster environmental awareness amongst the public and encourage environmentalism in the society. Reporting news in episodic instead of thematic manner is imperative in altering the public narrative regarding environment as well as providing assistance for significant decision making, to concerned stakeholders for better policy formation. The comparative design of this study utilized quantitative content analysis to examines framing approach of Pakistani and British environmental news stories.  Using simple random sampling technique total (n=1139) environmental news stories analysed from all four newspapers since 2007 to 2016-time period. The findings indicate the contrast among four newspapers of two countries (Dawn & Nation) from Pakistani print media however (Guardian & Telegraph) from Great Britain identify the divergent framing characteristics of Pakistani and British environmental news stories with thematic and episodic preferences. Guardian and Telegraph framed thematic news stories focusing on structural attributions while Dawn and Nation news stories evoke individualistic attributions with episodic frames. In spite of media’s regular journalistic practice of featuring episodic news stories still communicators can shift their professional approach by learning the construction of persuasive thematic environmental news stories for bigger social change.

Published: January 2022

This study shows the bactericidal effect of Electromagnetic Field on fruit juice microbes. Short shelf-life period of fruit juice caused by spoilage organisms has limiting factor for its economy value. The Eighteen microorganisms isolated from both fresh and spoilt fruit samples (Pineapple and Apple), and identified during the study include, twelve (12) bacteria and Six (6) fungi, out of which only the bacterial isolates were exposed to electromagnetic field of 0mG, 500mG, and 5000mG for thirty minutes. The bacteria species were Leuconostoc mesentroides, Bacillus species, Lactobacillus brevis, Microbacterium species, Clostridium species, Bacillus cereus, Acetobacter aceti, and Staphylococcus aureus. The Gram negative bacteria isolates were Erwinia carotovora, Erwinia ananas, and Proteus species. Exposure of the isolates to an electromagnetic field of 0mG, 500mG and 5000mG showed a decrease in some electromagnetic field magnitude. This study shows reduction in growth range among most bacterial species tested at 500mG electromagnetic radiation exposure, but the growth of many of these bacterial species were triggered at 5000mG electromagnetic radiation exposure. This may mean an initiation of: adaptation mechanism, growth mechanism in some microorganism, and sugar content of the fruit juice from which they are being isolated. The exposure of the bacteria to electromagnetic field elicited detectable responses therefore depends on the adaptation mechanism of each bacteria and sugar content of the fruit from which it is being isolated from. Thus, future research can be done to optimize the limits specified for target microbes that are strength and frequency of this EMF in diseases control.

Authors: DANDIL Emre , ARAL Bilal
Published: January 2022

In recent years, since automotive makers, IT providers, commercial electronic chip manufacturers have entered a rapid investment race for autonomous vehicles (AVs), they have started to be used in many infrastructures. AVs are automobiles that can drive themselves using the automatic control systems while cruising by sensing the road, traffic flow and surroundings without the need for a driver. AVs can detect objects around them using technologies such as radar, lidar, GPS, audiometry and computer vision. In this study, the design and implementation of a computer vision-based autonomous vehicle prototype is proposed. The developed prototype can perform lane tracking and traffic sign control by processing images obtained from the camera, and can detect objects around it with the distance sensor. In the AV prototype, the Raspberry Pi 3B+ module is used to process the images and control the motors, and the cascade classifier is used to recognize the traffic signs. In the performed tests, traffic signs are recognized in 7 different scenarios and the performances are compared. According to the results, the accuracy rate is 94,8% in the tests performed with only one traffic sign. As a result, the autonomous vehicle prototype developed in this study can successfully recognize traffic signs and move on the determined route in different scenarios.

Antibiotics are anti-infective agents produced from natural sources, whereas antimicrobial agents are generated through chemical
synthesis. It was a prospective and observational study and was conducted in the medicine, OBG, and urology departments in Sagar
Hospitals. The study was conducted over a period of 18 to 20 months. Among 542 participants, 325 (60%) were males, while 217
(40%) were females. The frequency of patients surviving different hospital departments was 416 (76.6%), and they survived the
medicine department. Moreover, the urology department had 80 (14.8%) patient visits, while in the obstetrics and gynaecology
departments, only 46 (8.5%) patients visited. It was found that the percentage and order of various micro-organisms isolated as
Neisseria meningitides 20 (3.7%) and a lesser number of organisms were found in K. Pneumonia 01 (0.2%), respectively. The
cephalosporin class of drugs is commonly prescribed in empirical and prophylactic therapy because they are more effective in
infectious diseases Furthermore, 36 patients out of 542 had drug interactions; quinoline derivatives, such as Ciprofloxacin, typically
have a higher number of drug interactions. Among 542 patients, 38 had severe drug reactions in that most of the reactions were
dermatological reactions caused by cephalosporin drugs. Most of our physicians prescribed based on patient characteristics and
behaviors, and the recovery rate was also good. In our study, we observed common outcomes of DIs, such as increased theophylline
toxicity and digoxin toxicity, increased laboratory values, and also reduced some drugs' effectiveness. Correlations of drug and disease
characteristics were found more in ciprofloxacin drugs.

Herpes zoster encephalitis: a diagnostic challenge in a geriatric patient

Reactivation of the varicella zoster virus (VZV) is a prevalent disease and is - in addition to the typical vesicular rash - responsible for rare neurological conditions. Older people form a major group of concern, given the increasing risk of VZV reactivation at a higher age together with a higher risk of complications. Herpes zoster encephalitis is a rare but serious complication which often presents atypically, delaying the diagnostic process. In this article, the medical history of a patient with herpes encephalitis without the typical clinical and biochemical signs of infection is presented. This patient also suffered from Ramsay Hunt syndrome, another rare complication of VZV, characterized by vesicular rash in the ear and ipsilateral peripheral facial paralysis. Both diseases are briefly reviewed and the potential benefits of vaccination are discussed.
