Four Theses about Self-Consciousness and Bodily Experience: Descartes, Kant, Locke, and Merleau-Ponty
Authors: BERMÚDEZ JOSÉ LUIS
Published: March 2020

This article evaluates the following four theses about bodily experience and self-consciousness: Descartes's thesis (bodily experience is a form of self-consciousness); Kant's thesis (nothing can count as a genuine form of self-consciousness unless it is consciousness of oneself as a subject); Locke's thesis (in bodily experience we are presented with ourselves as physical objects); and Merleau-Ponty's thesis (the way we encounter ourselves in bodily experience is fundamentally different from how we encounter non-bodily physical objects in outward-directed, exteroceptive perception). I argue that they are all true.
Some Kind of Right
Authors: Mathews Jud
Published: March 2020

The Right to Be Forgotten II crystallizes one lesson from Europe’s rights revolution: persons should be able to call on some kind of right to protect their important interests whenever those interests are threatened under the law. Which rights instrument should be deployed, and by what court, become secondary concerns. The decision doubtless involves some self-aggrandizement by the German Federal Constitutional Court (GFCC), which asserts for itself a new role in protecting European fundamental rights, but it is no criticism of the Right to Be Forgotten II to say that it advances the GFCC’s role in European governance, so long as the decision also makes sense in the context of the European and German law. I argue that it does, for a specific reason. The Right to Be Forgotten II represents a sensible approach to managing the complex pluralism of the legal environment in which Germany and other EU member states find themselves.
Backlash against the Court of Justice of the EU? The Recent Jurisprudence of the German Constitutional Court on EU Fundamental Rights as a Standard of Review
Authors: Burchardt Dana
Published: March 2020

This article discusses two landmark judgements by the German Federal Constitutional Court (CC) on the relationship between domestic and EU fundamental rights protection (Right to be forgotten I and II). In these judgements, for the first time, the CC uses EU fundamental rights as a standard of review. In addition, the CC establishes a novel framework of “parallel applicability” of EU and domestic fundamental rights for subject matters that are not fully harmonized by EU law. The article first presents the new approach, showing that it structurally changes the parameters of the relationship between the CC and the CJEU. Second, the article assesses the legal-political tendency reflected in this change: is this constructive dialogue or rather pushback against the CJEU? The article argues that this new jurisprudence should be characterized as an instance of resistance. The CC resists against the CJEU in its function as fundamental rights court, attempting to reduce the authority of the CJEU and reversing a development that it considered to be unfavourable to its own authority. This is structural pushback aimed at the CJEU’s function rather than at individual decisions or norms - however, without rejection the CJEU as an institution altogether.
The Constitutional Status of Karlsruhe’s Novel “Jurisdiction” in EU Fundamental Rights Matters: Self-inflicted Institutional Vulnerabilities
Authors: Schneider Karsten
Published: March 2020

The First Senate of the German Federal Constitutional Court (FCC) has recently introduced the express promise that where EU fundamental rights take precedence over German fundamental rights, the Court itself could directly review, on the basis of EU fundamental rights, the application of EU law by German authorities. There are, however, differences between the Basic Law as the relevant standard of review and other standards of review that are dangerous to ignore. The constitutional status of the FCC’s jurisdiction depends crucially on whether the Court relies on the constitution or on EU fundamental rights. If the constitutional status of the novel jurisdiction covered any binding-effect, and that is a big if, the FCC still would not safeguard the unity and coherence of Union law. Leaving aside the fact that the First Senate is confined to reversing and remanding (unable to enforce anything directly), no beneficial effect on legal certainty grows apparent. Any binding-effect of the novel jurisdiction only provides for consistency without finality. And to venture further into the question: Even if anyone welcomed this novel kind of consistency without finality (virtually “provisional consistency”), this oddish consistency would still be a localized consistency, i.e. in German courts only.
Ambivalent Relationships: The Portuguese State and the Indian Nationals in Mozambique in the Aftermath of the Goa Crisis, 1961–1971
Authors: Trovão Susana , Araújo Sandra
Published: March 2020

Grounded in written historical records and oral sources, this exploratory article addresses the Portuguese policy that targeted Indian nationals settled in Mozambique in the aftermath of the liberation/occupation of Portuguese India in December 1961. It equally tackles the views, concerns, and responses developed by Indian nationals to cope with their confinement in internment camps, frozen assets, seizures and liquidation, and deportation. The analysis evinces the inbuilt ambivalence in the way Portuguese colonial authorities constructed the internment of Indian nationals as humanitarian and protective measures, while displaying their dispossession and repatriation as harsh retaliatory political measures, at odds with the purported political and legal principles of colonial governance based on Portuguese Luso-tropical exceptionalism. The differentiated impact of such political measures, far from being univocal and uncompromising, is discussed as marred by innumerable contradictions resulting from the Portuguese economic vulnerability and dependence on Indian subaltern elites in Mozambique. Furthermore, the article presents a particular analytical sensitivity to the ambivalence surrounding the modes in which men and women of Indian origin related to Portuguese colonial power and responded to its governance.
Estimating parameters associated with monotone properties

Published: March 2020

There has been substantial interest in estimating the value of a graph parameter, i.e. of a real-valued function defined on the set of finite graphs, by querying a randomly sampled substructure whose size is independent of the size of the input. Graph parameters that may be successfully estimated in this way are said to be testable or estimable, and the sample complexity qz = qz(ε) of an estimable parameter z is the size of a random sample of a graph G required to ensure that the value of z(G) may be estimated within an error of ε with probability at least 2/3. In this paper, for any fixed monotone graph property $\mathcal{P}= \text{Forb}\!(\mathcal{F}),$ we study the sample complexity of estimating a bounded graph parameter z that, for an input graph G, counts the number of spanning subgraphs of G that satisfy$\mathcal{P}$. To improve upon previous upper bounds on the sample complexity, we show that the vertex set of any graph that satisfies a monotone property $\mathcal{P}$ may be partitioned equitably into a constant number of classes in such a way that the cluster graph induced by the partition is not far from satisfying a natural weighted graph generalization of $\mathcal{P}$. Properties for which this holds are said to be recoverable, and the study of recoverable properties may be of independent interest.
Novel Methods for Recording Stress-Strain Curves in Proton Irradiated Material

Published: March 2020

Proton irradiation is often used as a proxy for neutron irradiation but the irradiated layer is typically <50 μm deep; this presents a problem when trying to obtain mechanical test data as a function of irradiation level. Two novel methodologies have been developed to record stress-strain curves for thin proton-irradiated surface layers of SA-508-4N ferritic steel. In the first case, in-situ loading experiments are carried out using a combination of X-ray diffraction and digital image correlation on the near surface region in order to measure stress and strain, thereby eliminating the influence of the non-irradiated volume. The second approach is to manufacture small-scale tensile specimens containing only the proton irradiated volume but approaching the smallest representative volume of the material. This is achieved by high-speed focused ion beam (FIB) milling though the application of a Xe+ Plasma-FIB (PFIB). It is demonstrated that both techniques are capable of recording the early stage of uniaxial flow behaviour of the irradiated material with sufficient accuracy providing a measure of irradiation-induced shift of yield strength, strain hardening and tensile strength.

Published: March 2020

This study aimed to investigate the effects of microbial inoculants (L) and molasses (M) on the bacterial and fungal microbiomes of barley silage after the aerobic stage. The addition of molasses and microbial inoculants improved the aerobic stability of barley silage. The ML silage, which had a low pH value and high lactic and acetic acid contents, remained aerobically stable for more than 216 h. The ML silage exhibited low bacterial and high fungal diversities. Microbial inoculants and molasses enriched the abundance of Lactobacillus in silage after aerobic exposure. The enrichment of L. buchneri was significant in ML silage at days 5 and 7 during the aerobic stage. The abundance of harmful microorganisms, such as aerobic bacterial including Acinetobacter, Providencia, Bacillus, and yeasts including Issatchenkia, Candida, and Kazachstania, were suppressed in ML silage. M and L had an impact on bacterial and fungal microbes, resulting in the improvement of fermentation quality and reduction of aerobic spoilage in barley silage.

Published: March 2020

Ischemic stroke is a common disease with high morbidity and mortality. Remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) can stimulate endogenous protection mechanisms by inducing ischemic tolerance to reduce subsequent damage caused by severe or fatal ischemia to non-ischemic organs. This study was designed to assess the therapeutic properties of RIPC in ischemic stroke and to elucidate their underlying mechanisms. Neurobehavioral function was evaluated with the modified neurological severity score (mNSS) test and gait analysis. PET/CT was used to detect the ischemic volume and level of glucose metabolism. The protein levels of cytochrome c oxidase-IV (COX-IV) and heat shock protein 60 (HSP60) were tested by Western blotting. TUNEL and immunofluorescence staining were used to analyze apoptosis and to observe the nuclear translocation and colocalization of apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF) and endonuclease G (EndoG) in apoptotic cells. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was used to detect mitochondrial-derived vesicle (MDV) production and to assess mitochondrial ultrastructure. The experimental results showed that RIPC exerted significant neuroprotective effects, as indicated by improvements in neurological dysfunction, reductions in ischemic volume, increases in glucose metabolism, inhibition of apoptosis, decreased nuclear translocation of AIF and EndoG from mitochondria and improved MDV formation. In conclusion, RIPC alleviates ischemia/reperfusion injury after ischemic stroke by inhibiting apoptosis via the endogenous mitochondrial pathway.
Methods in predictive techniques for mental health status on social media: a critical review
Authors: Chancellor Stevie , De Choudhury Munmun
Published: March 2020

Social media is now being used to model mental well-being, and for understanding health outcomes. Computer scientists are now using quantitative techniques to predict the presence of specific mental disorders and symptomatology, such as depression, suicidality, and anxiety. This research promises great benefits to monitoring efforts, diagnostics, and intervention design for these mental health statuses. Yet, there is no standardized process for evaluating the validity of this research and the methods adopted in the design of these studies. We conduct a systematic literature review of the state-of-the-art in predicting mental health status using social media data, focusing on characteristics of the study design, methods, and research design. We find 75 studies in this area published between 2013 and 2018. Our results outline the methods of data annotation for mental health status, data collection and quality management, pre-processing and feature selection, and model selection and verification. Despite growing interest in this field, we identify concerning trends around construct validity, and a lack of reflection in the methods used to operationalize and identify mental health status. We provide some recommendations to address these challenges, including a list of proposed reporting standards for publications and collaboration opportunities in this interdisciplinary space.

We report the identification and characterization of a bacteriophage λ-encoded protein, NinH. Sequence homology suggests similarity between NinH and Fis, a bacterial nucleoid-associated protein (NAP) involved in numerous DNA topology manipulations, including chromosome condensation, transcriptional regulation and phage site-specific recombination. We find that NinH functions as a homodimer and is able to bind and bend double-stranded DNA in vitro. Furthermore, NinH shows a preference for a 15 bp signature sequence related to the degenerate consensus favored by Fis. Structural studies reinforced the proposed similarity to Fis and supported the identification of residues involved in DNA binding which were demonstrated experimentally. Overexpression of NinH proved toxic and this correlated with its capacity to associate with DNA. NinH is the first example of a phage-encoded Fis-like NAP that likely influences phage excision-integration reactions or bacterial gene expression.
Correlation between UV resilience and wavelength of narrow diffuse interstellar bands
Authors: Omont A. , Bettinger H. F.
Published: March 2020

Carriers of diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) still need to be identified. In a recent paper, we reported a correlation between the DIB wavelength and the apparent UV resilience (or boost) of their carriers. We proposed that this might be an indication of the important role of conjugated elongated molecules among the DIB carriers. The aim of this paper is to further understand the origin of this correlation. The analysis of 509 optical DIBs on the lines of sight of HD 183143 and/or HD 204827 reported in the literature shows that this correlation mainly implies the 386 narrow DIBs with a band width <1.1 Å, which include most of the identified DIBs of the C2andζfamilies, while the majority of the 123 broader DIBs, including the identifiedσDIBs, do not display such a correlation. We present a possible origin of this correlation from very strong bands of large conjugated elongated molecules, such as carbon chains, polyacenes, or other catacondensed polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. The total amount of carbon contained in all the carriers of these narrow DIBs is a very small fraction of the interstellar carbon if their oscillator strengths are ≥1. The amount of carbon locked in the carriers of the broader DIBs is higher, especially if their oscillator strengths are significantly weaker.

Published: March 2020

In recent years, a kind of mulberry pests which were known as the mulberry gall midge Cotarina sp. in different mulberry planting areas occurred popularly in China. This study aims to screening high efficacy and low toxicity insecticides for controlling Cotarina sp.. The current study can help understand integrated pest management (IPM) of Cotarina sp. by scientific and reasonable insecticide use. Field experiment was carried out to investigate eight insecticides, treated with 3 concentration gradients. The result shows that Imidacloprid, Thiamethoxam, Cyromazine, Bifenthrin and Cypermethrin·Profenofos had high control effect on the mulberry gall midge.Their pesticide residues were all less than Chinese Standard GB2763-2016, which means that they were feasible to control this pest. This paper shows that, to control Cotarina sp. in fruit mulberry production, 10% Imidacloprid WP with 2000~3000 dilution and 25% Thiamethoxam WDG with 1500~2500 dilution and 80% Cyromazine WDG with 1500~2000 dilution are the best. 2.5% Bifenthrin EW with 1000~1500 dilution and 440g/l Cypermethrin·Profenofos EC with 1000~2000 dilution should be used by selection. However, Bifenthrin or Cypermethrin·Profenofos cannot be used in mulberry field for both fruits and leaves, so as to avoid causing silkworm poisoning.

Published: March 2020

The article is devoted to the problems of environmental migration in the context of the Sustainable Development Goals proclaimed by the United Nations at the General Assembly session in 2015. Environmental migration has long been the subject of study by various scientists, where in the need for an integrated attitude to the study of this phenomenon is noted. However, to date, there is no systematic approach to studying the problem of environmental migration: scientists consider this process from the point of view of a specific area of their scientific interests. Most often, the points of view of representatives of natural and social sciences are paradigmatically indicated, sometimes they are opposite in their content. The study of environmental migration through the prism of Sustainable Development Goals provides, in our opinion, a comprehensive, interdisciplinary approach. The article attempts to systematically investigate the phenomenon of environmental migration using the consequences of the ecological crisis in the Aral Sea region as an example.

Published: March 2020

The main principle of marketing is the slogan “production of the product being sold, not sale of the product being produced”. Therefore, planning and evaluating the effectiveness of marketing activities should be carried out as a result of marketing research in order to determine the degree of customer satisfaction with the quality of goods and services. .Marketing research is a systematic and objective process of identification, collection, analysis and dissemination of information aimed at increasing efficiency in identifying and solving a marketing problem. The main goal is to create an information and analytical base for reducing the level of uncertainty and making marketing decisions [1]. The task of marketing research is to provide objective, reliable, justified, timely information and assessment of the information needs of the business entity, reflecting the real state of the business entity [5]. Such research includes marketing activities in the market, as well as market processes that have any links to it. The object of the study is the economic entity itself, the marketing environment of its sphere of activity, the market that represents competitive advantages, as well as marketing advantages in the areas of product, price, communication and sales activities [2].

Published: March 2020

This paper examines the relationship between competition and stability in the Kazakh banking sector using quarterly bank level data of private commercial banks. There have been many theories stand out on the relationship between competition and stability of the banking sector so far. But theories of the competition-fragility view and competition-stability view are widely accepted theories in the literature. The main method applied to achieve the established goal is a multiple regression analysis. Bank stability is used as a dependent variable and proxied by risk index. To measure the level of competition Lerner index and Boone indicator are calculated. Besides, the consistency between concentration and competition measures is tested applying a correlation analysis. Concentration in the banking sector is measured using Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) and concentration ratio CR5. The research revealed no statistically significant relationship between the values of Lerner index and Boone indicator estimated for Kazakh banking sector. The hypothesis about the consistency between different competition measures is rejected. In turn, the hypothesis about positive effect of competition on bank soundness is rejected only in the case when competition is proxies by Lerner index. Using Boone indicator as a competition measure, the results are doubtful.

Published: March 2020

The article is devoted to the problem of urban youth interest’s realization in the sphere of social conflicts, which is a critical situation determined on the one hand, by the overall logic of socio-cultural development, and, on the other, by the specifics of youth’s participation in the processes of social interaction. According to the research, the conflict is one of the obligatory parts for the social interaction functioning. In relation to youth, it is a condition that ensures its socialization and identification. Based on the interpretation results of questionnaire survey the features of behavioral attitudes of young citizens at the main stages of the genesis conflict were identified: the emergence of an obstacle in the implementation of interest, the reaction to this obstacle, the choice of the conflict type as a way to resolve a difficult life situation, the definition of a behavioral strategy in the conflict and its implementation. The results show that social conflict is considered by youth not only as a means of overcoming obstacles that arise in the implementation of their interests, but also as the way to attract attention to their problems and present personal ideas.

Published: March 2020

The article is devoted to the study of the Barymta Institute and determining its place in the customary legal system of the Kazakhs. The article shows the main stages of the emergence, development, and liquidation of Barymta; reveals the essence and content of the Barymta Institute; identifies and analyzes the main forms of Barymta manifestation. The ultimate goal of the legal reform carried out in Kazakhstan is the formation of the national legal system of the Republic of Kazakhstan. In many ways, its success depends on how much the legal heritage of the Kazakh people will be used. Traditional Kazakh society did not know written law. That is why legal regulations were of great social, regulatory and managerial importance. Without studying the customary law of the Kazakhs, developing specific, reasoned views on its nature, as many prominent scientists emphasize, it is impossible to comprehensively study the history of the people of the traditional period, especially since many issues remain completely unexplained.

These include: acceleration of digital modernization processes in Kazakhstan under the influence of global informatization leads to the transition to electronic document management; improving the efficiency of the Kazakh government through the introduction of information technology; the need to develop a state policy in the field of the application of new technologies in all spheres of life (NAO “State Corporation” Government for Citizens “); the need to accelerate the economic and political modernization of Kazakhstani society through the widespread use of information technology, as well as theoretical and practical interest in exploring the potential benefits of e-government and electronic document management.

The essence of the new stage of the administrative reform in Kazakhstan is reduced to a short formula - from administration to management. Demanding the efficiency and quality of the provision of public services should become the central point of government service policy.
Aggregation of public choice in Russia: national projects’ potential
Authors: Vaslavsky Yan
Published: March 2020

Adequacy of individual values reflection in the resulting public choice on the national level is extremely significant in itself. However, in the conditions of stagnating economy and declining citizens’ welfare this problem aggravates on the background of growing conflicting interests in the society and “accusations” against the state because of decline of population real income. In these conditions, the urgency of the problem of the adequacy of public choice in any country increases from both theoretical and practical view points. Moreover, its significance is great in the context of the experience of Russia as a typical economy with emerging market. The author sets the goals of considering the Russian experience of aggregating individual values and assessing the adequacy of the state’s public choice related to the implementation of national projects in the field of socially significant infrastructure. The goals are achieved through the application of general scientific research methods in the framework of comparative, logical, statistical analysis, as well as through the analysis of structure and dynamics, graphical interpretation of the information provided, etc. As a result, universal problems of public choice in the countries of the world were identified, the public-private partnership was highlighted as the real base and the effective mechanism of aggregation of individual values for the implementation of national projects. This made it possible to demonstrate the effectiveness of public choice in the field of socially significant infrastructure and to test effective forms of cooperation with national private business. In this light, Russia’s choice in favour of national projects as a special technology of aggregation of individual values represents interest both for theorists and practitioners.

The article discusses one of the burning issues of increasing the efficiency of local self-government, namely, the introduction of effective practices for sustainable development of border zone cities. The study actualizes the concept of social chronotope in the context of the study of sustainable development of small and medium-sized cities of the Russian-Ukrainian border region, which allows us to understand the nature of sustainable development of cities, the prospects for cross-border development and interaction. Based on the interpretation of the results of the questionnaire survey, an assessment was made of the standard of living of the population in medium and small cities of border regions, a management system in small and medium cities of the border region. The foundations of the integrated and sustainable development of medium and small cities of the border regions were also identified, the main directions and projects of cross-border cooperation were identified. A group of researchers concluded that, while ensuring the sustainable development of small and medium-sized cities of the Russian-Ukrainian border zone region, it is necessary to take into account the asynchrony of social processes in a single territory in the past, the formation of a special culture with relatively independent values and attitudes, as well as the possibility of using the potential of border zone territories.

This study focuses on the reaction of the membranes of erythrocytes based on the principles that use direct effects of infrasound. The effect on biological features was investigated through the experiments on the rats. The work determined the level of electrical conductivity of blood in rats during direct, indirect and combined effects of infrasound in vivo. There was found that infrasound stimulate the immune system and therefore the results recommend that caution is take place for people who are dealing with these low frequencies. There was used many different technologies and methods, including total differential count in order to consider all of the nuances of the observed object and the main goal. The exposure to infrasound caused increase in the electric conductivity of whole blood than the control in both types of exposure which indicates a large increase of the surface charge density of erythrocyte resulted from the formation of highly reactive species such as superoxide radicals. There were found some undesired biological effects, however further work could have decreased them to a lesser extent.

The research work is devoted to researching the comparative influence of electromagnetic radiations with wavelengths on various physiological and morphological parameters of four common wheat Triticum aestivum L. cultivars from Kazakhstan and Egypt. The comprehensive studies concerning various Functional mechanisms of living organisms under the action of electromagnetic radiations is a problem of special priority in biophysics and photobiology, revealing the general and specific plant resistance features to a given radiation source. These are of special importance when electromagnetic irradiations are carried out using various wavelengths, expositions and power intensities. The reactivity responses of living organisms to the action of various physical radiations usually take a part both metabolically and anatomo-morphologically, that is directed mainly to maintaining homeostasis. The purpose was based to reveal the morphological and physiological indicators of seeds and plants of four common wheat Triticum aestivum L. in a comparative aspect before and after the influence of electromagnetic radiations with wavelengths of 400.0 - 800.0 nm. The specific seed reactions feature of Triticum aestivum L have been established after the influence of electromagnetic radiations applying expositions and wavelengths.

In the experimental simulation hypoxia, the liver and rhinitis coincide with the discontinuation of rheological organs of the bones and organ lymph, which has diminished in shorter duration of the constriction, increasing the viscosity and thrombogenic processes in the blood and lymph. Unilateral hypoxic hypoxia (1.5 hrs) on liver tissue, decreased blood pressure, decreased intoxication levels in beds at 8%. %. The concentration of the total protein concentration and the elevation of the activation ALT and AST were investigated by the changes in the osmotic resistance of the erythrocytes and of urine. It has been established that experimental live animals with hypoxia, lymphatic aching, loss of general protein, high levels of alimentary tract and ALT, AST, abnormalities of rheological properties, and lymph nodes and morphophysiological condition of the lymphatic system.

In the context of the university digital transformation, the development of digitalization processes, it is necessary to introduce a data management culture. In most cases, this approach does not allow to see a big picture, as well as to identify “bottlenecks”. There is a need to develop a unified data management strategy, which will assess the value of IT technology, and ensure the adoption of effective decisions. This article highlights the conceptual issues of data management strategies in higher education, using the example of the university. The place of the data processing strategy within the university’s information space is considered a map model for analyzing key issues for decision making. The basic principles of organizing a data strategy for the university are determined. There is also considered an approach to designing and implementing an information and analytical system on the Microsoft Power BI cloud-based business analysis platform, which integrates all disparate data from university’s corporate information systems and transactional data sources. The analysis of reports of key business processes of the university is carried out, in which the formulation of research questions is shown, and there have been given conclusions to these issues. Introduction of the information and analytical system in the contour of the university’s corporate information system will contribute to the early identification of bottlenecks in the organization of the educational system and prompt decision-making in a systematic and comprehensive analysis of the main business processes of the educational organization through building a data map and visualizing all statistical reports.

Objective This study aimed to improve the understanding of clinical characteristics of neonatal invasive Streptococcus pyogenes infection (iSPI).

Methods A retrospective study was performed to analyze the clinical and laboratory aspects of culture-confirmed neonatal iSPI cases during 2010 to 2017.

Results Eleven cases of neonatal iSPI were confirmed. The ages ranged from 2 hours to 26 days. Ten cases had positive blood culture results and one had positive cerebrospinal fluid culture for S. pyogenes. Seven patients had fever and seven had identified focal infection, including six skin and soft tissue infections and one case of pneumonia. All of the S. pyogenes strains were sensitive to penicillin, cefotaxime, and vancomycin, and nine were resistant to clindamycin and erythromycin. Six patients received penicillin or cephalosporin monotherapy. Three patients received meropenem plus vancomycin initially, and then two of them were switched to penicillin and one to vancomycin after pathogen identification. Two cases were treated with vancomycin monotherapy. All cases were discharged after being cured or showing improvement.

Conclusion Skin and soft tissue infection is a common manifestation of neonatal iSPI. Streptococcus pyogenes strains are highly sensitive to β-lactams, which should be used as the first-choice treatment.
