Este artigo tem como principal objetivo analisar o contexto e as redes de influência na produção do texto do Currículo Base do Ensino Médio do Território Catarinense (CBEMTC). Para tanto, utilizamo-nos dos procedimentos metodológicos de revisão de literatura e de análise documental, mapeamos os atores e as redes de influência construídas entre os anos de 2019 e 2021 na/pela Secretaria de Estado de Educação de Santa Catarina (SED/SC), para demonstrar quais são as redes de influência envolvidas na consultoria do CBEMTC, que se constitui no principal documento de orientação dos processos educativos e formativos da juventude do Ensino Médio que frequenta a escola pública estadual. A partir desse mapeamento, concluímos que o CBEMTC possui forte influência da lógica neoliberal de gestão da política educacional, trazendo consigo a perspectiva da Reforma Empresarial da Educação (FREITAS, 2018) e das redes de governança (SHIROMA, EVANGELISTA, 2014), que intencionam a formação de subjetividades juvenis convergentes com os interesses do capital. Entre os principais atores que influenciaram a produção do texto do CBEMTC temos institutos e fundações privadas, com destaque para o Instituto Iungo. Contudo, identificamos a presença de consultores ligados principalmente ao Todos pela Educação; Fundação Lemann e Instituto Ayrton Senna.

How to diagnose and manage atrio-esophageal fistulas occurring after atrial fibrillation ablation procedures?

An atrio-esophageal fistula (AEF) is a rare complication occurring after an ablation procedure for atrial fibrillation, associated with a high mortality. The aim of this study is to provide a practical flowchart for first-line healthcare professionals on the diagnostics and management of these patients.

A literature search was performed, resulting in the inclusion of 100 AEF cases after atrial fibrillation ablation procedures (85 reports). The documentation on these 100 patients was analyzed to compose the flowchart.

All patients presented within 2 months after the ablation procedure (23 ± 11 days). Neurologic symptoms (75%), fever (73%) and both symptoms (57%) occurred in the majority.

A CT scan of the chest was performed in 78% of the cases. In 30% of the patients, an AEF was observed. In other patients, the diagnosis was suspected based on air in the left cardiac circulation or the mediastinum. An esophagogastroscopy resulted in an infaust deterioration in 14/26 of the cases.

In total, 41 patients received esophageal surgery (76% survival) versus 9 with only stenting (22% survival). In 27 patients, the diagnosis or treatment was not obtained in time.

An AEF should be suspected in patients presenting with fever or neurological symptoms after a recent ablation procedure. CT scans of the chest and head can support the diagnosis. Once diagnosed, one should proceed to emergency surgery to prevent further complications. An esophagogastroscopy should be avoided.

The authors hope to provide a practical management guide, allowing an earlier diagnosis, a faster treatment and thus an improved survival in these patients.
A New Agricultural Drought Index to Characterize Agricultural Drought Using Data Mining Techniques
Authors: Wankhede Shubhangi
Published: May 2024

Drought monitoring is a critical task as its occurrence and extent vary according to many factors like drought type, risk, agricultural losses, and impact. Monitoring drought is important because the footprint of this hazard is larger than that of other natural hazards. Many drought indices are developed to monitor complex drought conditions. The intensity and severity of drought in a particular region and at a particular time can be tracked by the drought indicator. In this research, a new agricultural drought index, Yield-Evapotranspiration Drought Index (YEDI) is developed using crop yield, potential, and reference crop evapotranspiration. Data mining and Neural Network techniques have been used to model the drought index. The agricultural and climatic data used is selected from the year 1983 to 2015 (33 years) from the period of June to October (Kharif period) for Maharashtra state in India. The drought index generates the positive values which are further divided into a range of high, medium, and low intensities of drought. SPI and SPEI indices are used for validation against YEDI. Results show that there is a correlation between YEDI and SPEI whereas a low correlation is between YEDI and SPI. YEDI proves to be useful for agricultural drought monitoring.

The Effect of Religious Conflicts on Nigerian Economy: The Way Forward.
Authors: Okoye Chukwurah Charles Mezie
Published: May 2024

This study looks at how disputes sparked by religious convictions affect Nigeria’s economic growth. It draws attention to the reality that religion plays a significant role in Nigeria, where Christianity and Islam are the two most popular faiths. This study looks at the effects of religiously motivated conflicts on Nigerian economic development. It underlines the significance of faith or religion n Nigeria, Christianity and Islam are the predominant religions. It contends that, while each of these religions preaches peace, differences over practice among believers are a permanent feature of national life, threatening peace and progress and depriving Nigeria of the necessary economic development. The paper employed descriptive analysis and a library research methodology. It observes that Nigeria is a secular state, thus religious influence is unnecessary. The research finds that long-term growth is only conceivable if the underlying causes of religious conflict, which are often driven by religious prejudice, are addressed. It observes that secularism’s deemphasis has resulted in religion having an undue impact on the nation; thus, it proposes focusing less on religion to reduce disputes. To reduce violence, it also encourages religious harmony through conversation, as well as an emphasis on human rights and the constitutional right to worship freely.
WOMEN BETWEEN COMMUNITY COVERAGE AND MEDIA EROSION... TODAY AND TOMORROW
Authors: SAKAI Dr. Nesrine
Published: May 2024

Since a woman is the mother and nanny of the community in his first school, her image thus reflects the image of society and is meas-ured by her progress or decline, so that caring for her has been very im-portant because her integrity means the integrity of society, and her degradation means his degradation. In this way, the comprehensive development and cultural uprooting of any society requires the utmost participation of women and men in all spheres and fields, both in accordance with their grants, qualifica-tions and talents given by God Almighty to everyone. With the beginning of the last century and the launching of Arab women's liberation proceedings, their issues have begun to take the at-tention of the Information Service, which has become part of contempo-rary life and a mark. The importance of its role in shaping trends and shaping the concepts that remain in the mind of society has become ev-ident.

Objectives: To compare the efficacy of Palonosetron and Ondansetron as premedication in the prevention of early and delayed chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) in pediatric patients with cancer receiving moderately or highly emetogenic chemotherapy.
Methodology: This randomized controlled trial study was conducted at the Oncology Department of Children’s Hospital, PIMS Islamabad, on patients aged 6 months to 12 years undergoing chemotherapy. Patients were divided in 2 groups by stratified random sampling and random allocation. Patients in Group 1 received a single intravenous dose of 20 microgram/kg Palonosetron and dexamethasone before chemotherapy, while Group 2 received intravenous Ondansetron 8 hourly along with dexamethasone. Nausea and vomiting severity were assessed from 0–120-hour interval using the CTCAE V 5.0 grading system. Data analysis was performed using SPSS version 23, employing chi-square and Fisher exact tests to compare outcomes between the two groups.
Result: 218 pediatric oncology patients were included who received moderate or high intensity chemotherapy with the mean age of 5.25 ± 2.96 years. The majority of the participants were male (58.7%). The most common diagnosis was Wilms tumor (37.6%), followed by acute lymphoblastic leukemia (21.1%) and Ewing sarcoma (9.6%). Complete response to antiemetics was significantly more in Group 1 as compared to group 2, on day 1 and 2 with p value of 0.004 and 0.001 respectively. Grade of vomiting was significantly less on day in Group 1 study participants.
Conclusion: Pediatric oncology patient receiving moderately or highly emetogenic chemotherapy showed effective response to palonosetron as compared to ondansetron in prevention and control of early and delayed chemotherapy induced nausea and vomiting.

Published: May 2024

Aims: To compare statin utilization and ischemic heart disease (IHD) mortality trends in Lithuania and Sweden and to assess correlations between the total utilization of statins and IHD mortality.
Methods: An ecological study assessing time trends in statin utilization (DDDs per 1000 inhabitants per day; DDD/TID) and IHD mortality in Lithuania and Sweden between 2000 and 2020. Statin utilization data in Lithuania were wholesale trade data, and Swedish data were drugs dispensed at pharmacies. IHD mortality data were extracted from national databases as rates per 100 000 inhabitants. Associations between statin utilization and IHD mortality in Lithuania and Sweden were examined using Spearman’s rank and Pearson’s correlation coefficients, respectively.
Results: Statin utilization increased from 16.8 to 135.8 DDD/TID in Sweden and from 0.2 to 61.8 DDD/TID in Lithuania between 2000 and 2020. Medium intensity was the most common statin dosage in Lithuania, while Sweden used more high intensity than moderate-intensity statins from 2017. IHD mortality in Lithuania remained high between 2000 and 2020 (from 359.1 to 508.8 deaths per 100 000 population), while it decreased markedly in Sweden (from 226.87 to 88.7 deaths per 100 000 population). IHD mortality and statin utilization were inversely correlated in Sweden (r = -0.993, P < 0.001), while a positive correlation was found in Lithuania (rs = 0.871, P < 0.001).
Conclusion: Despite the growing statin utilization in both countries, Lithuania recorded a slight increase in IHD mortality rates unlike the situation in Sweden. This indicates room for improvement in the management of modifiable cardiovascular risk factors in Lithuania including how statins are prescribed and used in clinical practice.

Published: May 2024

Durante la pandemia por COVID-19, el consumo de alimentos nutracéuticos se incrementó considerablemente; siendo la miel de abeja un producto natural apreciado en la medicina tradicional. Sin embargo, la adulteración amenaza la sostenibilidad apícola, porque: i) Reduce los beneficios para la salud de las personas; ii) Genera desconfianza en los consumidores; iii) Es una competencia desleal. Este trabajo es una revisión sobre estos aspectos y cómo prevenir dicho riesgo. Se consultaron 50 documentos sobre la temática, seleccionados por su pertinencia y publicados principalmente durante los últimos cinco años. Como resultados, se tienen diversas técnicas para detectar mieles adulteradas, como la espectrofotometría, el análisis fisicoquímico e inclusive el análisis de ADN. Se recomienda no comprar mieles demasiado económicas, revisar que la etiqueta del producto indique que es 100% natural, que el envase sea apropiado (vidrio o plástico transparente), que la cristalización sea homogénea sin estratos y comprar a apicultores registrados.

Revenue Leakages and their Implications on the Nigeria’s Economic Development
Authors: Olayemi Ogunyewo Akinwale , Olawole Oluwasuji Clement
Published: May 2024

This seminar paper examines revenue leakages and their implications on Nigeria’s economic development. Government revenue includes income from both oil and non-oil sources. Despite being one of the most developed and blessed countries, Nigeria is still grappling with persistent poverty and weak economic growth. The study investigates the major sources of revenue in Nigeria and explores the causes of revenue leakages affecting the country’s economic development. It also assesses the consequences of these leakages on the Nigerian economy. The paper applies the Keynesian theory proposed by John Maynard Keynes, suggesting that to achieve economic growth through taxing and government spending, policies need to be in place to generate necessary revenue for the country. Using an ex-post facto research design and relying on secondary sources of data like government and non-government publications, magazines, and journals, the study reveals that revenue leakages in Nigeria can hinder economic development by reducing government revenue, burdening citizens, and fostering corruption and inefficiency. The research also uncovers various methods through which revenue contributes to the economy. As a result, the study recommends the implementation of better governance and transparency policies to enhance financial transactions, budgeting procedures, and public procurement processes. These measures are crucial for addressing the identified challenges and promoting a more robust economic environment in Nigeria.

This study aims to undertake a comprehensive investigation into the factors influencing the satisfaction of both graduates and employers for high-quality programs offered by economics universities. Through an analysis of seven independent factors, covering General Academic Knowledge, Specialized Academic Knowledge, Professional Attitude, Professional Academic Skills, Interpersonal Skills, Problem-solving and Adaptability Skills, Leadership and Motivational Skills, the study seeks to identify both strengths and areas requiring improvement within economics programs. By scrutinizing these dimensions, the study intends to offer actionable solutions that can be used as a framework for educational institutions to equip students with the knowledge and skills required by the job market, serving as a foundation for reference and policy recommendations A total number of 350 questionnaires were collected from graduates of high quality programs at economics universities in Vietnam as well as enterprises or businesses employing individuals who have completed or are currently studying in these training programs. 325 answers were considered valid and met the requirements that were initially set. The research model was created by integration of three approaches: the ASK model, the resources/capabilities of the training institution, and the additional benefits to learners, with the addition of a new variable “Leadership and Motivational Skills”. SPSS 23 was used to assess the consistency and validity of all variables and test the hypotheses using a regression model. Both primary and secondary data are used in this research. The findings show that the five dimensions of high-quality programs influence the satisfaction of both graduates and employers. The new variable “Leadership and Motivational Skills" was found to be the most influential factor in predicting the satisfaction levels of both target groups regarding the quality of education in high-quality programs at economics universities.

Authors: ZINIYEL DESMOND Y. , TWUM PHILIP
Published: May 2024

Internal audit has been in increasing demand in both the public and private sectors because it has impacted a lot by instituting several rules and control measures to guide their operations, especially in tertiary and second-cycle institutions. The main purpose of the research was to assess the impact of the internal audit system on good corporate governance through a study of tertiary and second-cycle institutions in Wa, Upper West Region of Ghana. The main objective of the study is to assess the impact of the internal audit system on corporate governance. Nonrandom (purposive) and random sampling techniques were employed in the study. The population was internal auditors and management at four tertiary institutions and one municipal education office, making a total population of 5. The sample size was made up of 10 respondents, consisting of 5 internal auditors and 5 management staff. The study revealed that internal audit activities help promote good corporate governance by focusing on compliance with laws and regulations and also evaluating fraud and errors. Also, the study found that the internal auditors play a key role in their institutions, and most of these institutions have inadequate audit staff. It is recommended that the internal audit units be provided with enough staff in order to be able to do their work effectively and on time. Internal auditors need to be adequately resourced, especially in the use of appropriate technology, rather than focusing too much on traditional systems.

Published: May 2024

The psychological and individual factors that predict cyberbullying have been the subject of numerous studies; however, less attention has been paid to relevant contextual or social factors such as family and peer support on the Internet. Some studies analyze them in isolation, but few studies examine them together, which limits their approach. Therefore, this study seeks to explore the extent to which protection networks (family and peers) can predict the likelihood of becoming a victim or aggressor of this type of violence, using a sample of 1,554 Spanish students. The study has also probed differences as a function of gender and age. The data are analyzed using a structural equation model (SEM), in which peer and family support on the Internet are used as exogenous variables, and the status as a victim or aggressor of cyberbullying as endogenous variables. The results show that the so-called "support networks", both primary and secondary, play an essential role in preventing the involvement of adolescents in cases of cyberaggression and cybervictimization. The multi-group analysis by gender and age reveals differences to be considered when diagnosing the situation and promoting socio-educational measures for the prevention of cyberbullying.

Se concluye que la IA tiene el potencial de mejorar la ES, pero es importante abordar sus desafíos y preocupaciones, y garantizar que se utilice de manera ética y efectiva para ayudar a los estudiantes a alcanzar su máximo potencial.
Point-of-Care Tests for COVID-19 and Influenza in Canada
Authors: CADTH
Published: May 2024

What Is the Issue?

Health care providers rely on laboratory tests to differentiate between respiratory illnesses that manifest in similar symptoms, such as COVID-19 and influenza. However, samples may travel to centralized laboratories to process, delaying test results and treatment.
Point-of-care tests (POCTs) allow for diagnosis at the site of care but at the expense of diagnostic performance. Several commercial POCTs, specifically for COVID-19, have become increasingly available in Canada since the start of the pandemic. Decision-makers will need to consider which commercial POCT can meet their jurisdiction’s testing needs.

POCTs in Canada and their Potential Impact

Some POCTs, called “Multiplex tests,” can detect and differentiate between certain illnesses using a single sample. Some studies suggest that using POCTs for respiratory illness in hospitals and emergency departments can expedite diagnosis, improve patient flow, reduce admissions, and shorten the length of stay.
Commercial POCTs vary in diagnostic performance, complexity, and costs. There are at least 37 authorized POCTs for COVID-19, influenza, or both in Canada. All devices accept a nasal, nasopharyngeal sample, or both sample types for testing. Some tests require a reader or analyzer to use test kits for diagnosis.
POCTs can provide results in 1 hour or less. However, laboratory testing (i.e., nucleic acid amplification tests) remains the standard of care to diagnose COVID-19 and influenza, given their better diagnostic performance compared to POCTs.

What Else Do We Need to Know?

Confirmatory laboratory tests can reaffirm the diagnosis from POCTs. However, budget impact analyses and clinical studies on authorized tests in Canada do not consider how confirmatory lab tests impact findings on POCT use. Future studies should investigate the cost-effectiveness of POCTs with confirmatory testing, as well as the impact of incorrect diagnosis from POCT on patient outcomes.
Rural and remote communities may benefit from POCTs for respiratory illness, given their distance to centralized laboratories.

Abstract. The central Arctic cryosphere is influenced by the Arctic amplification (AA) and is warming faster than the lower latitudes. AA affects the formation, loss, and transport of aerosols. Efforts to assess the underlying processes determining aerosol variability are currently limited due to the lack of ground-based and space-borne aerosol observations with high spatial coverage in this region. This study addresses the observational gap by making use of total aerosol optical depth (AOD) datasets retrieved by the AEROSNOW algorithm over the vast cryospheric region of the central Arctic during Arctic spring and summer. GEOS-Chem (GC) simulations combined with AEROSNOW-retrieved data are used to investigate the processes controlling aerosol loading and distribution at different temporal and spatial scales. For the first time, an integrated study of AOD over the Arctic cryosphere during sunlight conditions was possible with the AEROSNOW retrieval and GC simulations. The results show that the spatial patterns observed by AEROSNOW differ from those simulated by GC. During spring, which is characterized by long-range transport of anthropogenic aerosols in the Arctic, GC underestimates the AOD in the vicinity of Alaska in comparison with AEROSNOW retrieval. At the same time, it overestimates the AOD along the Bering Strait, northern Europe, and the Siberian central Arctic sea-ice regions, with differences of −12.3 % and 21.7 %, respectively. By contrast, GC consistently underestimates AOD compared with AEROSNOW in summer, when transport from lower latitudes is insignificant and local natural processes are the dominant source of aerosol, especially north of 70° N. This underestimation is particularly pronounced over the central Arctic sea-ice region, where it is −10.6 %. Conversely, GC tends to overestimate AOD along the Siberian and Greenland marginal sea-ice zones by 19.5 % but underestimates AOD along the Canadian Archipelago by −9.3 %. The differences in summer AOD between AEROSNOW data products and GC-simulated AOD highlight the need to integrate improved knowledge of the summer aerosol process into existing models in order to constrain its effects on cloud condensation nuclei, on ice nucleating particles, and on the radiation budget over the central Arctic sea ice during the developing AA period.

Abstract. Droughts often lead to cross-sectoral and interconnected socio-economic impacts, affecting human well-being, ecosystems, and economic development. Extended drought periods, such as the 2018–2022 event in Germany, amplify these impacts due to temporal carry-over effects. Yet, our understanding of drought impact dynamics during increasingly frequent multi-year drought periods is still in its infancy. In this study, we analyse the socio-economic impacts of the 2018–2022 multi-year drought in Germany and compare them to previous single-year events. Leveraging text-mining tools, we derive a dataset covering impacts reported by 260 news outlets on agriculture, forestry, livestock, waterways, aquaculture, fire, and social impacts spanning 2000 to 2022. We introduce the concept of drought impact profiles (DIPs) to describe spatio-temporal patterns of the reported co-occurrences of impacts. We employ a clustering algorithm to detect these DIPs and then use sequence mining and statistical tests to analyse spatio-temporal trends. Our results reveal that the 2018–2022 multi-year drought event had distinct impact patterns compared to prior single-year droughts regarding their spatial extent, impact diversity, and prevalent impact types. For the multi-year drought period, we identify shifts in how impacts have been perceived regionally, especially focusing on legacy and cascading effects on forestry and social activities. Also, we show how regional differences in relevant impacts are controlled by different land-cover types. Our findings enhance the understanding of the dynamic nature of drought impacts, highlighting the potential of text-mining techniques to study drought impact dynamics. The insights gained underscore the need for different strategies in managing multi-year droughts compared to single-year events.

Abstract. Landforms left behind by the last Scandinavian Ice Sheet (SIS) offer an opportunity to investigate controls governing ice sheet dynamics. Terrestrial sectors of the ice sheet have received considerable attention from landform and stratigraphic investigations. In contrast, despite its geographical importance, the Baltic Sea remains poorly constrained due to limitations in bathymetric data. Both ice-sheet-scale investigations and regional studies at the southern periphery of the SIS have considered the Baltic depression to be a preferential route for ice flux towards the southern ice margin throughout the last glaciation. During the deglaciation the Baltic depression hosted the extensive Baltic Ice Lake, which likely exerted a considerable control on ice dynamics. Here we investigate the Baltic depression using newly available bathymetric data and peripheral topographic data. These data reveal an extensive landform suite stretching from Denmark in the west to Estonia in the east and from the southern European coast to the Åland Sea, comprising an area of 0.3 million km2. We use these landforms to reconstruct aspects of the ice dynamic history of the Baltic sector of the ice sheet. Landform evidence indicates a complex retreat pattern that changes from lobate ice margins with splaying lineations to parallel mega-scale glacial lineations (MSGLs) in the deeper depressions of the Baltic Basin. Ice margin still-stands on underlying geological structures indicate the likely importance of pinning points during deglaciation, resulting in a stepped retreat signal. Over the span of the study area we identify broad changes in the ice flow direction, ranging from SE–NW to N–S and then to NW–SE. MSGLs reveal distinct corridors of fast ice flow (ice streams) with widths of 30 km and up to 95 km in places, rather than the often-interpreted Baltic-wide (300 km) accelerated ice flow zone. These smaller ice streams are interpreted as having operated close behind the ice margin during late stages of deglaciation. Where previous ice-sheet-scale investigations inferred a single ice source, our mapping identifies flow and ice margin geometries from both Swedish and northern Bothnian sources. We anticipate that our landform mapping and interpretations may be used as a framework for more detailed empirical studies by identifying targets to acquire high-resolution bathymetry and sediment cores and also for comparison with numerical ice sheet modelling.

En este sentido, el vaciado exhaustivo de los actos comunes de los jurados conservados en el AMZ y la aplicación del análisis prosopográfico a los registros de la cancillería real conservados en el ACA, así como a los fondos del AHPNZ durante las décadas correspondientes al reinado de Juan II (1458-1479), nos permitirán elaborar una visión panorámica de las élites zaragozanas y analizar con detalle distintos fenómenos de movilidad social dentro de este grupo.
Suwerenność energetyczna na kanwie pakietu „Gotowi na 55”. Część 1
Authors: Gontarski Waldemar , Parchimowicz- Gontarska Iwona
Published: May 2024

Przedmiotem artykułu, złożonego z dwóch części, jest wykładnia jednego z najtrudniejszych przepisów traktatowych Unii Europejskiej, zawartego w art. 194 ust. 2 akapit drugi Traktatu o funkcjonowaniu Unii, wprowadzającego krajową suwerenność energetyczną. Sformułowane w art. 194 ust. 2 akapit drugi odesłanie do art. 192 ust. 2 lit. c należy rozumieć w ten sposób, że jeśli przy przyjmowaniu środków w dziedzinie środowiska cele energetyczne (art. 194 ust. 1) nie przeważają nad celami środowiskowymi (art. 191) i spełniona jest co najmniej jedna z przesłanek suwerenności energetycznej (art. 194 ust. 2 akapit drugi), podstawą traktatową staje się art. 192 ust. 2 lit. c (jednomyślność Rady). Dopiero gdy nie zachodzi nawet jedna z trzech sformułowanych alternatywnie przesłanek suwerenności energetycznej, a cele energetyczne przeważają nad środowiskowymi, stosujemy zwykłą procedurę prawodawczą przewidzianą w art. 194 ust. 2 akapit pierwszy. Uwspólnotowienie suwerenności energetycznej polega jedynie na braniu pod uwagę solidarności energetycznej (art. 194 ust. 1), a w zakresie doraźnym na przyjmowaniu środków stosownych do sytuacji gospodarczej (art. 122 ust. 1), z uwzględnieniem deklaracji nr 35 odnoszącej się do art. 194, która poprzez odesłanie do dwóch przepisów traktatowych wzmacnia samodzielność energetyczną państw członkowskich w warunkach kryzysu – w rozumieniu art. 347 – do tego stopnia, że praktycznie oznacza konieczność co najmniej rewizji zaproponowanego przez Komisję Europejską pakietu „Gotowi na 55”. W myśl art. 194 ust. 2 akapit drugi w zw. z art. 194 ust. 1 (zasada solidarności) transformacja energetyczna ma być krajowa, a nie unijna, ale z uwzględnieniem traktatowej zasady solidarności energetycznej – odrzucanej przez Niemcy przed Trybunałem Sprawiedliwości UE (Niemcy/Polska, C-848/19 P) po to, aby zwiększyć uzależnienie UE od dostaw rosyjskiego gazu. W „Gotowi na 55” przepisy te pominięto, chociaż z treści części zawartych tam wniosków ustawodawczych wynika, że zachodzą przesłanki stosowania tych regulacji. Nie tylko w piśmiennictwie polskim brakuje publikacji dotyczących podstaw traktatowych wniosków zamieszczonych w „Gotowi na 55”.

W artykule wymieniono ogólne warunki sprzyjające bezpieczeństwu Polski. Przystąpienie Polski do ONZ, Paktu Północnoatlantyckiego i Unii Europejskiej stworzyło podstawy do trwałego zakotwiczenia państwa w strukturach bezpieczeństwa. Wzmocniło to pozycję państwa w stosunkach międzynarodowych i otworzyło nowe możliwości oddziaływania na europejską strefę bezpieczeństwa, współpracy oraz rozpoznania zagrożeń. Proces ten ma wpływ na tworzenie się środowiska bezpieczeństwa w bezpośrednim sąsiedztwie Polski. Wyraźnie wpływa również na kształtowanie przez Polskę polityki w dziedzinie bezpieczeństwa wewnętrznego.
