Zagadnienie relacji nauk przyrodniczych z filozofią i teologią w poglądach Stanisława Ziemiańskiego SJ
Authors: Świeżyński Adam
Published: February 2023

Celem artykułu jest omówienie poglądów o. prof. Stanisława Ziemiańskiego SJ dotyczących znaczenia nauk przyrodniczych dla filozofii i teologii oraz relacji między naukami przyrodniczymi, filozofią i teologią. Na tle teodycealnego stanowiska o. Ziemiańskiego, zaproponowanego w ramach jego teologii naturalnej, został zaprezentowany sposób, w jaki autor wykorzystuje dane nauk przyrodniczych w swoich poszukiwaniach filozoficznych. Ziemiański przyjmuje stanowisko, które cechuje się ostrożnością, a nawet zachowywaniem pewnego rodzaju dystansu wobec obrazu świata kreowanego przez współczesne przyrodoznawstwo. W szczególności nie podziela filozoficznej interpretacji naukowego obrazu świata, która miałaby prowadzić do panewolucjonizmu rozciągniętego na całość historii wszechświata. Na tle współczesnych stanowisk licznych polskich przedstawicieli ewolucjonizmu teistycznego, wywodzących się z katolickich środowisk intelektualnych, którzy starają się uzgadniać ewolucję z kreacją na gruncie filozofii, poglądy o. Ziemiańskiego są mniej typowe i niewątpliwie wyróżniają się owym antyewolucjonistycznym rysem. Analizę stanowiska o. Ziemiańskiego rozpoczęto od rekonstrukcji jego ujęcia teoriopoznawczego i metodologicznego w zakresie dotyczącym statusu nauk przyrodniczych, filozofii i teologii oraz obrazów rzeczywistości materialnej, jakich one dostarczają. W dalszej części omówiono wybrane kwestie przedmiotowe, które mieszczą się w obszarze zagadnienia relacji między naukami przyrodniczymi i teologią, a które podejmował o. Ziemiański, w szczególności problematykę dotyczącą genezy wszechświata i pochodzenia życia biologicznego. Następnie podjęta została próba odtworzenia ogólnego obrazu relacji między nauką i religią (naukami przyrodniczymi i teologią), a także rozumem i wiarą, w związku ze sposobem ujmowania przez o. Ziemiańskiego m.in. kontrowersji kreacjonizm – ewolucjonizm, zagadnienia momentu animacji płodu ludzkiego oraz grzechu pierworodnego, cierpienia i śmierci. Na zakończenie do niektórych twierdzeń Ziemiańskiego ustosunkowano się krytycznie i polemicznie. Wspólnym mianownikiem dla tych uwag jest znaczenie wpływu przyjmowanych założeń metafizycznych na interpretację i wykorzystanie danych naukowych w tworzeniu filozoficznego i teologicznego obrazu świata.
Księdza Jana Ciemniewskiego koncepcja wychowania do cnót roztropności, męstwa i wstrzemięźliwości
Authors: Polak Ryszard
Published: February 2023

Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie informacji o życiu i dorobku naukowym oraz publicystycznym ks. Jana Ciemniewskiego (1866–1947). Podstawą źródłową służącą opracowaniu niniejszej publikacji są główne dzieła polskiego kapłana. Posiłkowano się również opracowaniami filozoficznymi i teologicznymi zagadnień, które rozważał opisywany uczony, powstałymi zarówno w okresie jego aktywności naukowej i duszpasterskiej, jak i po jego śmierci. Ciemniewski był kapłanem interesującym się filozofią i teologią oraz pedagogiką. Był twórcą systemu filozofii wychowania opartego na klasycznej, arystotelesowsko-tomistycznej koncepcji natury ludzkiej osoby oraz etyce zakładającej konieczność wychowania człowieka poprzez kształtowanie w nim cnót kardynalnych. Szczególnym przedmiotem zainteresowań uczynił doskonalącą rozum cnotę roztropności, a także cnotę męstwa i umiarkowania, nazywaną przez siebie cnotą wstrzemięźliwości. Twierdził, że w wychowaniu nie tylko dzieci i młodzieży, ale także i dorosłej części społeczeństwa, należy zwracać uwagę na walkę z alkoholizmem i nieczystością, ponieważ one głównie zagrażają egzystencji jednostek i narodu. Pisał, że alkohol nie tylko osłabia wolę człowieka, ale także uszkadza jego system nerwowy oraz przyczynia się do zubożenia materialnego osoby nadużywającej tego trunku. Opracowując swoją koncepcję wychowania, Ciemniewski korzystał z bogatego dorobku myśli europejskiej. Interesował się także psychologią eksperymentalną oraz czerpał inspiracje od polskich psychologów (J. Ochorowicz, R. Radziwiłłowicz, T. Jaroszyński). Krytykował liberalizm etyczny, materializm, hedonizm. Według tego uczonego właściwe wychowanie polega na usprawnianiu ludzkiego intelektu i wzmacnianiu siły woli człowieka.

Published: February 2023

Automotive industry is focused on monitoring health and performance of vehicles to help customers to improve uptime and reduce the downtime with planned maintenance. To achieve this, technologies like telematics are used for continuous data flow.  The data depicts the details of functioning of various components in the engine and subsystems; and the fault codes - the diagnostic troubleshooting codes, associated with them. Traditional method by service representatives to address these fault codes- is to follow the recommended troubleshooting trees. With the electronic engine and subsystems performance interdependencies, it gets challenging to address the same in the traditional manner. Also, the grouping of the fault codes is not known if the fault codes that occurred are related to a specific cause. We implemented unsupervised machine learning and data mining techniques to address such issues. First, the co-occurrence theory that helps in understanding the fault codes that occur together and exhibit dependencies and relations amongst them. We implemented market basket analysis to study the fault codes co-occurrences. Second, we implemented clustering algorithms to know groups/categories of fault codes based on their functional states. These studies provide insights on the failures, component states, and help in troubleshooting the problems experienced by the engine and subsystems. Also, these methods help to address the issues in the early stage, in turn helping technicians to identify the issue and improving the uptime (early repairs and diagnostics). Further, this paper presents the results of the experiments aligning to the domain needs.

The article presents the results of studying the stability of the main indicators of probiotic cultures Lactobacillus plantarum No. 7 and Bifidobacterium adolescentis No. 17 as part of a bacterial mixture during storage. The prebiotic component lactulose was added to the bacterial mixture at a concentration of 1.5%. The stability of the synbiotic bacterial mixture in vials and capsules when stored under appropriate conditions (in a place protected from light, at a temperature of 4–8°C) has been studied. Experiments have shown that the preservation of the liquid form of the bacterial mixture with the addition of a prebiotic component at a temperature of 4–8°C is possible for one month without a decrease in activity indicators, and for lyophilized form — for 12 months
Development and validation of a positive plasmid control for detection of chlamydia genetic material in real-time polymerase chain reaction
Authors: Pavlov S. L.
Published: February 2023

The studies was devoted to the construction and testing of a plasmid positive control for real-time polymerase chain reaction to detect the chlamydia genome. A 142-bp region of 16s–23s rRNA operon of the chlamydia was cloned and ligated to the open plasmid vector pTZ19R, and competent E. coli cells were transformed with the resulting construct. The presence of the insert was monitored by ampicillin selection of clones and by PCR. The effectiveness of the application of the obtained structure, the copy number of which was equal to 7.65×1010 DNA molecules per μl, was proven by establishing the correlation of the values of the Ct to the amount of DNA in the sample. Testing a series of multiple dilutions of a positive plasmid control with concentrations from 101 to 107 DNA copies per μl in real-time PCR, a regression line was constructed (R2 = 0.993)

Published: February 2023

Changes in the forms of management, the concentration of poultry in limited territories lead to a violation of homeostasis in biotopes and parasitic systems. The research aimed to find out the peculiarities of distribution, biodiversity, and interdependence of pathogens in parasitocenoses of the intestinal tract of chickens in the Eastern region of Ukraine. According to the results of research, the biodiversity of pathogens in parasitocenoses of the chicken intestinal tract in poultry farms in the Eastern region of Ukraine has been determined. 17 species of pathogens were identified, including 10 species of protists (from Apicomplexa and Zoomastygophora), and 7 species of helminths: 5 species from Nematoda, 2 species from Cestoda. The influence of breeding technologies and systems of keeping chickens on the prevalence, biodiversity of parasitocenoses, species indices of parasitocenosis (SIP, %), and correlations between components of parasitocenoses have been determined. For the industrial technology of raising chickens in cages, the parasitocenosis was formed by 6 species of Eimeria (SIP — 100%, prevalence — 15.72%). When poultry was kept on a deep when kept on a deep unchanging litter in the structure of the parasitocenosis the share of eimeriosis was 87.72%, ascariasis — 12.28%. For the traditional extensive technology of raising chickens using pastures (farms and homestead farms), the prevalence in chickens was 64.07%. In the parasitocenosis of the intestinal tract in chickens there are relationships between pathogens — a high correlation between eimeriosis, histomonosis, trichomoniasis and helminthiasis (0.718–0.944) and between histomonosis, ascariasis, heterococcus and capillary (0.975–0.998), and a low correlation between histomonosis and trichomoniasis (0.449), which indicates the presence of synergetic (high correlation) and competitive (low correlation) relationships between the components of parasitocenoses of the intestinal tract

Analysis of the effectiveness of animal rabies control measures in Ukraine
Authors: Gibaliuk Yu. O. , Nedosekov V. V.
Published: February 2023

The aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of anti-epizootic measures to combat animal rabies, which were carried out in Ukraine in 2018–2020. Materials of official veterinary reporting, report of the Accounts Chamber of Ukraine, reports on the assessment of the risk of rabies spread among domestic, farm and wild animals, information from the EU Reference Laboratories regarding rabies and wildlife, information from the internet resource Rabies-Bulletin-Europe, European Commission reports on the implementation of national rabies eradication programs in the EU were used for the analysis. It has been found that the lack of the identification of domestic carnivores is a probable factor of incomplete coverage of rabies parenteral vaccination of dogs and cats, despite 100% implementation of anti-epizootic plans. It has been found that campaigns of oral immunization of wild carnivores against rabies were carried out once a year (in autumn), not twice a year (in spring and autumn), which had a significant negative impact on the effectiveness of this anti-epizootic measure. Despite the identified shortcomings, the result of the campaigns of oral vaccination of wild carnivores against rabies was a twice decrease of rabies cases among the target groups of animals in the period 2018–2020. Anti-epizootic measures to control rabies of animal in 2018–2020 were carried out using national regulatory standards and the organizational and technical means of the State Food and Consumer Service. Based on the results of the assessment of anti rabies measures carried out in 2018–2020, a number of regulatory, technical and organizational recommendations have been proposed. The implementation of these recommendations will make it possible to increase the effectiveness of rabies control in Ukraine

Conditionally pathogenic and pathogenic microflora negatively affects the general condition and productivity of animals, even with the provision of proper feeding and maintenance conditions. Significant damage to industrial farms is caused by fungal infections such as Aspergillus, Penicillium, Fusarium, and Candida albicans which associate with using of different disinfectants. The work aimed to determine the effective concentration of “Biolide” for disinfection concerning reference strains Candida albicans ATCC 10231 and Aspergillus niger ATCC 16404. The tests were conducted in the State Scientific Research Institute of Laboratory Diagnostics and Veterinary and Sanitary Expertise. We used bactericidal drug “Biolide” based on hydrogen peroxide, perlactic acid and lactic acid. We determined the fungicidal action of different concentrations of “Biolide” and parameters of use following generally accepted recommendations. The study and determination of fungicidal concentrations of “Biolide” were carried out by the following methods: suspension, paper disks. For this purpose, we prepared the following aqueous solutions of “Biolide” — 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 2.5% and prepared spore suspensions of reference strains of Candida albicans ATCC 10231 (2.5×107/см3) and Aspergillus niger АТСС 16404 (1.8×107/см3). Control: the culture of fungi with working dilutions was the control. The tests revealed that a 2%-concentrated “Biolide” disinfectant has fungicidal effect concerning the reference strains Candida albicans ATCC 10231 and Aspergillus niger ATCC 16404. “Biolide” disinfectant solution at 2.0% concentration and an exposure time of 60 minutes exhibits fungicidal properties on the test objects (wood, iron, brick, plaster)

Published: February 2023

Human Resources (HR) management in a company is inseparable from the importance of managing the recruitment process in accepting new prospective employees. One of the methods used in selecting employee candidates is through a cyber-vetting process on social media. Cybervetting is checking information and data of prospective candidates as well as individual internet reputation through search engines such as Google and social media (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Linkedin). Based on this background, this study aims to determine cyber-vetting on employee recruitment decision-making. This research uses the descriptive research method. Respondents in this study are people who work in the field of recruitment both as internal company recruiters and third-party recruiters in companies domiciled in South Sumatra. The instrument in this study was an online questionnaire. A total of 12 respondents from 12 companies in South Sumatra filled out the online questionnaire. The study results show that most recruiters conduct a personal assessment of their prospective employees through social media or cyber-vetting. Therefore, social media should be used as a medium that positively impacts its users and knows the importance of paying attention to digital footprints by reflecting professionalism and good social media behavior to create trust for recruiters.

Morpheas are characterized by cutaneous induration (sclerosis), evidence of fibrosis of the dermis and sometimes of the underlying tissues without recognized etiology. We report a case of linear Morpheus in saber cut with aesthetic repercussions. A 17-year-old Malian boy consulted for a hypochromic strip of the face and scalp that had been evolving for 8 months. The lesion began with a non-pruritic and slightly painful erythematous spot. On inspection, it was a slightly atrophic hypochromic band, 2 cm wide and 12 cm long extending from the head of the left eyebrow to the vertex. Palpation found cutaneous sclerosis along the entire length of the band. There was no Raynaud's phenomenon or sclerodactyly. The rest of the clinical examination was normal. A biopsy of the lesion with anatomopathological examination was performed and the diagnosis of morphea was retained. The biological assessment carried out did not show any inflammatory syndrome or antinuclear factors. The skull x-ray did not find any bone abnormality. Treatment with systemic corticosteroids (prednisone) at a rate of 1 mg/kg/day associated with methotrexate 20 mg/week was introduced. After 3 months of well-monitored treatment, the evolution was favourable, with stabilization of the skin band. Morpheas cause aesthetic or functional damage that is sometimes significant. Their management must take into account the quality of life of affected subjects whose life expectancy is considered normal with an assessment of the risk- benefit of potentially aggressive therapies.

Published: February 2023

Introduction: Gougerot-Sjögren’s syndrome (GSS) is a systemic autoimmune disease with malignant transformation to non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL) as its most formidable complication. There are few associations described in the literature with other solid tumours. We report 5 cases of SGS associated with solid tumours. Methodology: This was a retrospective, descriptive study conducted in the Rheumatology Department of the Aristide Le Dantec University Hospital in Dakar from January 2006 to December 2020. Results: Over the period we collected 5 cases. They were divided into 3 men and 2 women with a mean age of 73.4 years (51-83 years). The average diagnostic delay was 158.4 months or 13 years (120-240 months). The tumour occurred during the evolution of the GSS in 3 cases while the GSS occurred during the evolution of the tumour in 2 cases. The associated tumours were prostate cancer in 3 cases, ovarian cancer in 2 cases and colon cancer in 1 case. Paraneoplastic hyperuricaemia was present in 2 patients. The evolution was marked by death in 2 patients. Conclusion: We report in our study 5 observations of SGS associated with solid tumors.

Published: February 2023

Background: Hepatolithiasis is usually associated with contaminated bile. In hepatolithiasis, frequently presence of stones and stricture within the intrahepatic bile duct that causes stasis of bile. This bile frequently contaminated with various types of bacteria. So culture and sensitivirty test can find out the nature of bacteria and its antibiogram that can be used as empirical therapy for cholangitis in hepatolithiasis. Materials and Methods: This study was conducted at the Department of Hepatobiliary, Pancreatic & Liver Transplant Surgery of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), Dhaka, with 31 patients with hepatolithiasis who underwent surgical procedure from December 2019 to November 2020 with purposively sampled hepatolithiasis patient. Bile was collected intra- operatively from the bile duct for culture and antibiotic sensitivity. Results: The median age was 38 years (range 25-80 years). There were 19 males and 12 females. Abdominal pain was present in all patients with hepatolithiasis. Out of 31 patients, 24 patients had positive bile culture; E. coli was the most frequent organism (n=13, 41.9%) followed by Klebsiella spp. Colistin, imipenem and Tigecycline (100%), doxycycline (83.3%),amikacin (82.6%), Meropenem & Tazobactam+ Piperacillin (72.7%) and cefepime (66.7%) were sensitive to these organisms. Conclusion: Cephalosporins and Fluoroquinolones are not good antibiotics using empirically as prophylactic measure for patients with hepatolithiasis in our setting. Imipenem, meropenem, doxycycline, amikacin, cefepime and Tazobactam/piperacillin can be used empirically in hepatolithiasis patients. However further study with larger sample size is recommended.
Small States in Conflict Management: A Case Study of Qatar
Authors: Abdelkhalek Amira Ahmed Elsayed
Published: February 2023

Since the Second World War and the emergence of great powers, little consideration has been given to the role of smaller countries in conflict management. As opposed to what academics and IR scholars refer to as major or great powers, which receive a lot of attention from researchers. The majority of IR scholars focus on the great powers, their position in the international system, and their methods for resolving disputes. Because it is difficult to define small states and because different scholars have different definitions of what small states are, it is possible that they did not pay attention to them. Smaller countries, however, might also make a significant contribution to resolving disputes. Small countries have successfully resolved many conflicts despite their small size and limited resources, and they have developed to the point where they can now compete with those that are larger and more capable than they are. The aim of this article is to investigate how small countries handle disputes and their role in conflict management. In doing so, this paper focuses on how Qatar contributes to conflict management and explores the mechanism it takes to resolve disputes. And yields three key outcomes: First, despite having a small population and limited territory, small states can successfully settle many conflicts. Second, in many international arenas, small states can compete with large countries and superpowers. Finally, despite Qatar's active role in conflict resolution, there is a limitation to it: it focuses solely on mediation and doesn't employ any other conflict management techniques.

Introduction: Pseudohypoparathyroidism (PHP) is a rare disease and the first example of hormone resistance to be observed. It combines a particular morphotype, subcutaneous calcifications and bone and kidney resistance to parathyroid hormone. Other hormone resistances are possible. Case Presentation: Patient of 16 years old, had a progressive onset of right foot/ankle deformity at age of 12 years, then 6 months later contralateral ankle deformity, associated to Macrocrania, rounded forehead, enlarged nose, micrognatism, short neck, brachydactyly, deformities, Genu valgum. Workup; corrected hypocalcaemia 46.9mg/l hyperphosphaemia 66mg/l high PTH 1739pg/ml, normal renal function. Diagnosis retained: Pseudohypo-parathyroidism Type 1A or 1C associated with Albright hereditary osteodystrophy (AHO), genetic confirmation in progress. Discussion & Conclusion: PHP is a rare autosomal dominant inherited disorder of variable penetrance and expression, most severe when maternally inherited. Genetic studies have identified inactivating mutations in Gs-alpha, encoded by the GNAS gene, responsible for several phenotypes. Management consists of multidisciplinary follow-up and early and specific interventions. Prognosis is variable, normal life expectancy in mild forms, significant morbidity and mortality in severe forms.

Authors: Bennour B. , Tadili H. , Aboudourib M. , Hocar O. , Amal S.
Published: February 2023

Introduction: Clear cell sarcoma (CCS), is an extremely rare type of sarcoma, frequently diagnosed in young adults, typically arises in the extremities of the limbs and has a predilection for occurring in the tendons and aponeuroses. In the past CCS was called malignant melanoma of the soft parts because the tumor shares clinical, histological and immunohistochemical similarities with amelanotic melanoma, but it is a unique lesion, distinct from melanoma. Case Report: A 33-year old woman with no significant history was referred with an unpainful bulky ulcerated tumor of the right ankle, appeared 05 years prior to presentation following a minimal trauma. The CT of the ankle revealed a bulky mass of the medial surface locally infiltrative associated to nodules of the surrounding adipose tissues and a unilamellar periosteal reaction without bone lysis or osteocondensation. MRI of the ankle showing a lobulated mass arising in the deep structures in iso-intense signal relative to adjacent muscle on T1 and heterogeneous high-signal intensity on T2 infiltrating surrounding adipose tissues without infiltration of muscles. Histological examination showed dermo-hypodermic malignant tumor proliferation. Round cells were arranged in nests separated by dense collagenous septa, with an abundant eosinophilic to clear cytoplasm. The immunohistochemical supplement were positive for Melan-A and HMB-45. Cytokeratin, Vimentin, Desmin and CD99 were negative. The extension assessment made of a head-chest-abdominal-pelvic CT scan showed multiple homolateral inguinal lymphadenopathies necrotic. No other metastasis was detected. The anatomo-clinical confrontation allowed to retain the diagnosis of CCS. Discussion: The tumor occurs most often in adolescents and young adults and was slightly more common in female than in male patients, CCS typically arises in the extremities of the limbs, its occurrence in the upper limbs is less common, described as a slowly growing mass painless. ..........
Fetal Adenomyomatosis - A Case Report
Authors: Saroha Amit , Kundu Pooja , Meena Lokesh , Garg Nishant , Thakur Bishal , Sharma Pankaj
Published: February 2023

With an average incidence rate of 0.07-1.15%, foetal adenomyomatosis is a rare discovery during a third- trimester ultrasound. We describe a case of foetal adenomyomatosis that occurred at 37 weeks' gestation and was diagnosed 4 days after delivery. Clinicians must be aware of the implications of this illness and how to treat it effectively. A degenerative and proliferative condition called gall bladder adenomyomatosis is characterised by excessive epithelial proliferation along with muscularis propria hypertrophy. This results in intramural diverticula known as Rokitansky- Aschoff sinuses, which are mucosal outpouchings into or beyond the muscle layer (RAS). These sinuses get clogged with cholesterol crystals, which cause the comet tail artefacts on USG that are indicative of adenomyomatosis and are caused by reverberation artefacts. Because it is benign, there is typically no need for therapy. The condition resolves on its own and ultrasonography follow-up is necessary. Surgery is required when the condition is not resolving or the patient is symptomatic.

The Unruh Effect and the Equivalence Principle
Authors: Zayko Yuriy
Published: February 2023

The Unruh effect attracts the attention of researchers because it opens up new possibilities in connection with the ongoing attempts to test Einstein's theory of gravity. A special place among these attempts is occupied by the study of the equivalence principle, since in a number of works on the study of the Unruh effect, doubts have been expressed about its validity. The article shows that there is no reason for this. For this purpose, an infinite homogeneous plane is considered as the source of a stationary gravitational field in the article. The article considers solutions of Einstein's gravitational equations for the infinite homogeneous plane problem. It is shown that along with static solutions corresponding to a stationary gravitational field, there are its non-stationary solutions. Explicit analytical expressions for nonstationary solutions are obtained. It is shown that the non-stationary solution in asymptotic turns into a stationary one. The presence of such a solution explains the birth of particles and removes doubts about the possibility of the existence of the Unruh effect in a static homogeneous gravitational field due to the birth of particles at the stage of establishing a stationary gravitational field of the plane. In addition, considerations are given about the source of the singular gravitational field for the problem of hypercomputation.
