Authors: Żurawski Jakub 
Published: March 2018

Internet Electoral Advertising and Advertising in the “Old” Media in Polish Parliamentary Campaigns from 2001 to 2015
In this paper the author discusses the issues of popularity of electoral advertising in the “old” and “new” media. He proposes four theses about the use of such type of advertising in Poland. The issues discussed include: spending on campaign ads in the “old” media; spending on campaign ads on the Internet, spending on communication services other than advertising, determining the types of election campaigns (modern or post‑modern). The author discusses the financial reportssubmitted after each campaign by electoral committees to the National Electoral Commission and on this basis the research hypotheses are verified. In addition, the paper briefly describes the evolution of forms of political advertising on theInternet and television. The study makes it possible to formulate opinions about the direction of development of electioneering forms in Poland at the beginning of 21stcentury.
Obraz zjednoczonej Europy w koncepcjach przedstawicieli opozycji antyfaszystowskiej we Włoszech w latach 1943-1945

Picture of united Europe in the concepts of Italian anti‑fascist opposition members in 1943‑1945
The article presents concepts of united Europe created by representatives of different fractions of the anti‑fascist Italian opposition in the period of the so‑called Resistenza (1943‑1945), with particular focus on the stances of left‑wing groups. The fullest theoretical foundations of federalist concepts created during the Second World War come from the Ventotene Manifesto (the so‑called Manifesto for Free and United Europe), elaborated at the turn of June and July of 1941 by charismatic leaders of Movimento Federalista Europeo – Altiero Spinelli and Ernesto Rossi – in collaboration with Eugenio Colorni. Influenced by English federalists from Federal Union, Spinelli and Rossi were pointing to the crisis of a nation state and its results – nationalism, imperialism and fascism. The authors were convinced that the only way to ensure continued peace in Europe was to create a European federation, comprised entirely of democratic states. The idea of the United States of Europe was advocated also by a liberal lawyer and economist, later the Governor of the Bank of Italy and the President of Italy, Luigi Einaudi. In his articles and political writings regularly published from 1918 until the end of the WWII Einaudi criticised the League of Nations as a weak institution lacking in authority and unable to effectively challenge the imperialist tendencies of some of its members. He sought the reasons for this weakness in the very structure of the League of Nations, i.e. in the confederation model. In studies published between 1943 and 1945 the liberal politician emphasised interdependencies between economy and politics. Einaudi identified the idea of a sovereign national state and the doctrine of nationalism as main enemies of the European federalism. Another politician advocating limiting sovereignty of national states in the name of broad solidarity between free European nations was a leader of Christian Democracy and the Prime Minister of Italy between 1945 and 1953 – Alcide De Gasperi. He underlined the significance of cooperation with the United States of America and the United Kingdom of Great Britain in the process of peace‑rebuilding. Unlike Spinelli and Rossi, the leader of Christian Democracy did not support the federation model of integration – De Gasperi placed emphasis on the gradual character of this process and on the need for finding “transitional solutions”, similarly to Einaudi, pointing to the significance of the economic aspect.

Germany and the Migration Crisis in the European Union in the Years 2011-2016
The aim of this research paper is to evaluate the position of Germany, including the federal government and the parliamentary opposition, as regards the migration crisis in the European Union in the years 2011‑2016. The first part of the article presents the course of the migration crisis in the presented time period. The second part discusses the evolution of the position of the governing coalition and the parliamentary opposition in Germany towards the first phase of the crisis in the years 2011‑2014. The third part has been dedicated to analysing the position of the federal government and the parliamentary opposition towards the second phase of the crisis in the years 2015‑2016. The fourth part presents the influence of the German government on the reform of the immigration and asylum policies, as well as the dynamics of the migration crisis in the European Union in the years 2015‑2016. The author formulates a research hypothesis that the federal government did not control the migration crisis in the European Union but rather acted impulsively, thereby contributing to its deepening.

Published: March 2018

AbstractBackgroundThe Migraine-Specific Quality of Life Questionnaire version 2.1 (MSQv2.1) is used to evaluate the impact of symptoms on the quality of life (QoL) of migraineurs.ObjectiveTo evaluate primarily the concurrent validity, test–retest reliability, and internal consistency, and secondarily the sensitivity to change of a Thai version of the MSQv2.1.MethodsThe original English version of the MSQv2.1 was translated into a Thai version. The Thai version of the MSQv2.1 was assessed for content and language equivalence. Validity of the Thai version of the MSQv2.1 was assessed using migraine characteristics in a prospective study conducted at the Chulalongkorn Comprehensive Headache Centre of King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital. Test–retest reliability and internal consistency were tested in migraineurs. Sensitivity to change was evaluated in another group of migraineurs using an 8-week follow-up.ResultsWe recruited 30 migraineurs to test the validity, test–retest reliability, and internal consistency of the Thai version of the MSQv2.1 and 11 migraineurs to test its sensitivity to change. The Thai version of the MSQv2.1 scores were significantly correlated with migraine symptoms (inverse coefficient range from –0.62 to –0.39) except for associated symptoms, which had no correlation with any of the dimensions or overall QoL score. Spearman’s correlation coefficient for test–retest reliability was 0.56–0.83, and Cronbach’s α for internal consistency was 0.91–0.96. Headache, including average pain duration per attack, pain severity score (numeric rating scale), associated symptoms and dimensions, and overall QoL score of the Thai version of MSQv2.1 improved over time (P< 0.05). Moreover, improvement in headache correlated (coefficient range 0.67–0.77) with improvement in overall QoL score and some dimensions of the Thai version of the MSQv2.1 (coefficient range 0.66–0.77).ConclusionThe Thai version of the MSQv2.1 had validity, acceptable internal consistency, moderate-to-strong test–retest reliability, and strong correlation between improvement in headache severity and overall QoL score. A future study with a larger sample size and longer follow-up is required for better estimates of internal consistency and sensitivity to change.
Incidence and etiology of maxillofacial trauma: a retrospective analysis of King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital in the past decade
Authors: Pungrasmi Pornthep , Haetanurak Sahatad 
Published: March 2018

Abstract

Background
Maxillofacial injury is a common injury in trauma patients. The incidence, associated injuries and causes have been never reported for King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital (KCMH).

Objectives
To report the incidence, associated injuries, age groups, treatments, and behavioral risks in maxillofacial patients who were admitted to KCMH in the past decade.

Methods
We conducted a retrospective descriptive analysis of patients from January 1, 2006, to December 31, 2015, to evaluate the age groups, causes, sites of facial bone fracture, associated injuries, treatments, and behavioral risks.

Results
There were 1,275 patients (79% male and 21% female). The most common age group was 21–30 years (30.6%), followed by 11–20 years (19.5%) and 31–40 years (18.8%). The most common cause of injury was motorcycle accident (39.7%), and the most common associated injury was head injury (58%). The total number of fractures were 1,526, with the most common fracture site being the zygomaticomaxillary complex (38.6%), followed by mandible (21.8%) and nasal bone (17.8%). Most fractures were treated using open reduction and internal fixation with plates and screws.

Conclusions
The main cause of maxillofacial injury is motorcycle accident even though the government launched a policy named “Decade of Action for Road Safety 2011–2020” to reduce road traffic deaths. Thailand continues to need stronger law enforcement to reduce risky motorcycle driving behavior.
Reactogenicity and safety of AS03B-adjuvanted H5N1 influenza vaccine in children: an open-label, one-way, crossover trial
Authors: Izurieta Patricia , Kosalaraksa Pope , Frenette Louise , Dramé Mamadou , Innis Bruce L. , Vaughn David W , Schuind Anne 
Published: March 2018

Abstract

Background
Human cases of highly pathogenic avian-origin influenza A/H5N1 infection continue to be reported to the World Health Organization, and recent outbreaks of human cases of other zoonotic influenza strains highlight the continued need for strategies to mitigate influenza pandemic potential.

Methods
A Phase II–III randomized, placebo-controlled, observer-blind trial was conducted to assess the immunogenicity, reactogenicity, and safety of two 1.9 μg hemagglutinin doses of AS03B-adjuvanted H5N1 (AS03B-H5N1; A/Indonesia) vaccine in children (6 months to <18 years old) of Thailand, the United States, and Canada (Year 1, published elsewhere). After database lock in Year 1, the trial was unblinded, and children who had been randomized to receive placebo and continued to fulfill the eligibility criteria were invited to participate in an open-label, one-way, crossover safety extension phase, in which they received AS03B-H5N1 vaccine. Here we report the safety analysis in Year 2.

Results
A total of 155 children were vaccinated in Year 2. The most frequent solicited adverse event (AE) during 7 days post vaccination was injection site pain. Irritability or fussiness was reported in about one-third of younger children (aged <6 years) during 7 days post vaccination and was the most common solicited general AE in this age group. Postvaccination temperature (≥38°C) was reported in 4 (5.1%) children. The most common solicited general AEs in older children (aged ≥6 years) were muscle aches, headache, and fatigue. The AS03B-H5N1 vaccine had a clinically acceptable safety profile up to 385 days post vaccination.

Conclusions
Safety in the crossover phase was acceptable and consistent with that observed in vaccine recipients in the randomized, blinded phase of the study.

Exploring the association between glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency and color blindness in Southeast Asia
Authors: Soontarawirat Ingfar , Imwong Mallika , Woodrow Charles J. , Cheepsunthorn Chalisa Louicharoen , Day Nicholas P.J. , Paul Richard , Singhasivanon Pratap 
Published: March 2018

Abstract

Background
Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency poses problems for the treatment of Plasmodium vivax malaria, as the 8-aminoquinolines, used to eliminate liver hypnozoites, cause hemolysis in G6PD-deficient individuals.G6PD deficiency is an X-linked disorder that can be linked to other conditions determined by genes located nearby on the Xq28 band of the X chromosome, including red–green color blindness. A Karen population has undergone recent positive selection for G6PD deficiency with extended long-range haplotypes around G6PD.

Objectives
To determine the association between G6PD deficiency and color blindness in a Karen population that lives in an area endemic for P. vivax and that is already known to display long-range haplotypes around G6PD because of the recent positive selection of the Mahidol G6PD deficiency allele.

Method
We examined the phenotypic association between G6PD deficiency and color blindness.

Results
Of 186 male participants successfully assessed for color blindness using the Ishihara 38 plates test, 10 (5.4%) were red–green color blind, while 1 individual was totally color blind. There was a nonsignificant trend toward negative association (repulsion) between G6PD deficiency and red–green color blindness; 34/35 individuals with the Mahidol variant of G6PD deficiency had normal vision, while 9 of the 10 red–green color blind individuals were G6PD normal. A single individual had both conditions.

Conclusions
Despite the long-range haplotype associated with G6PD deficiency in this population, color blindness is not informative in terms of predicting G6PD deficiency in this population. The most likely explanation is that there are multiple genetic causes of red–green color blindness.
Screening antibiotics using an Hoechst 33342 dye-accumulation assay to detect efflux activity in Acinetobacter baumannii clinical isolates
Authors: Choi In-Sun , Kim Choon-Mee , Jang Sook-Jin 
Published: March 2018

Abstract

Background
Understanding the contribution of efflux pumps to the resistance of antibiotics is useful when considering strategies for antimicrobial therapy.

Objectives
To assess the role of efflux activity on the resistance of antibiotics commonly used in hospitals.

Methods
We analyzed the efflux activity of 120 clinical isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii using an Hoechst 33342 (H33342) dye-accumulation assay. We compared the indicators for efflux activity of susceptible and non-susceptible groups of each of 16 tested antibiotics. To determine the role of efflux activity on resistance to an antibiotic, we used 3 criteria based on the results of the H33342-accumulation assay.

Results
The evaluation suggests that efflux activity contributed to resistance to the following 11 antibiotics: cefepime, cefotaxime, ceftazidime, ciprofloxacin, gentamicin, imipenem, meropenem, piperacillin, piperacillin/tazobactam, ticarcillin/ clavulanic acid, and tigecycline. However, ampicillin/sulbactam, minocycline, and trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole did not meet the criteria, suggesting resistance may not be mediated by efflux activity. A significant difference in efflux activity was observed between bacteria belonging to the multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (MDRAB) group and those belonging to the non-MDRAB group.

Conclusions
Efflux activity may contribute to multidrug resistance and particularly resistance to numerous antibiotics used in hospitals. These antibiotics would be good candidates for combination therapeutic regimens consisting of an antibiotic and an efflux pump inhibitor as an adjuvant to combat drug efflux.
The use of Monte Carlo simulation to predict vancomycin dosage for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in Thai patients of various ages and with varying degrees of renal function
Authors: Pitaksontayothin Krairerk , Santimaleeworagun Wichai , Pongchaidecha Manat , Houngsaitong Jantana , Srisena Panuwit 
Published: March 2018

Abstract

Background
To our knowledge, no study reported so far has investigated appropriate vancomycin dosing, which is important for treatment of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection in Thai patients of various ages and with varying degrees of renal function.

Objectives
To predict vancomycin dosing for MRSA in Thai patients of various ages and with varying degrees of renal functions.

Methods
Monte Carlo simulation and minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) distribution of MRSA from a hospital in Thailand were used to predict the area under the curve in 24 h/MIC >400 and trough concentration (C
trough) <20 mg/L of 9 vancomycin dosage regimens for Thai patients stratified by age and renal function.

Results
Vancomycin dosing at least 2.5 g per day can attain cumulative fraction of response (CFR) of ≥90% in every age group. Vancomycin dosage achieving CFR of ≥90% for simulated patients with creatinine clearance (CLcr) was calculated using the Cockcroft–Gault equation. Appropriate vancomycin doses for Thai patients infected with MRSA with CLcr of <40, 40–60, >60–80, and >80 mL/min were 1.5 g every 24 h, 1.25 g every 12 h, 1 g every 8 h, and 1.75 g every 12 h, respectively. However, more than a half of patients simulated using these regimens have a vancomycin C
trough of >20 mg/L.

Conclusions
Although vancomycin doses attaining a CFR of ≥90% can treat MRSA infection effectively, the regimens may cause kidney injury. The regimens have a probability of target attainment of 100%, and most patients can attain C
trough of <20 mg/L.
Leibniz on Innate Ideas and Kant on the Origin of the Categories
Authors: Vanzo Alberto 
Published: March 2018

Abstract:In his essay against Eberhard, Kant denies that there are innate concepts. Several scholars take Kant’s statement at face value. They claim that Kant did not endorse concept innatism, that the categories are not innate concepts and that Kant’s views on innateness are significantly different from Leibniz’s. This paper takes issue with those claims. It argues that Kant’s views on the origin of intellectual concepts are remarkably similar to Leibniz’s. Given two widespread notions of innateness, the dispositional notion and the input/output notion, intellectual concepts are innate for Kant no less than for Leibniz.

Published: March 2018

AbstractWe study the Cauchy problem for a system of equations corresponding to a singular limit of radiative hydrodynamics, namely, the 3D radiative compressible Euler system coupled to an electromagnetic field. Assuming smallness hypotheses for the data, we prove that the problem admits a unique global smooth solution and study its asymptotics.
ALD anti-reflection coatings at 1ω, 2ω, 3ω, and 4ω for high-power ns-laser application
Authors: Liu Hao , Jensen Lars , Ma Ping , Ristau Detlev 
Published: March 2018

Abstract
Atomic layer deposition (ALD) facilitates the deposition of coatings with precise thickness, high surface conformity, structural uniformity, and nodular-free structure, which are properties desired in high-power laser coatings. ALD was studied to produce uniform and stable Al2O3 and HfO2 single layers and was employed to produce anti-reflection coatings for the harmonics (1ω, 2ω, 3ω, and 4ω) of the Nd:YAG laser. In order to qualify the ALD films for high-power laser applications, the band gap energy, absorption, and element content of single layers were characterized. The damage tests of anti-reflection coatings were carried out with a laser system operated at 1ω, 2ω, 3ω, and 4ω, respectively. The damage mechanism was discussed by analyzing the damage morphology and electric field intensity difference. ALD coatings exhibit stable growth rates, low absorption, and rather high laser-induced damage threshold (LIDT). The LIDT is limited by HfO2 as the employed high-index material. These properties indicate the high versatility of ALD films for applications in high-power coatings.
Spectral analysis of the He-enriched sdO-star HD 127493
Authors: Dorsch Matti , Latour Marilyn , Heber Ulrich 
Published: March 2018

Abstract
The bright sdO star HD127493 is known to be of mixed H/He composition and excellent archival spectra covering both optical and ultraviolet ranges are available. UV spectra play a key role as they give access to many chemical species that do not show spectral lines in the optical, such as iron and nickel. This encouraged the quantitative spectral analysis of this prototypical mixed H/He composition sdO star. We determined atmospheric parameters for HD127493 in addition to the abundance of C, N, O, Si, S, Fe, and Ni in the atmosphere using non-LTE model atmospheres calculated with TLUSTY/SYNSPEC. A comparison between the parallax distance measured by Hipparcos and the derived spectroscopic distance indicate that the derived atmospheric parameters are realistic. From our metal abundance analysis, we find a strong CNO signature and enrichment in iron and nickel.

Published: March 2018

Abstract The chemical composition of helium-rich hot subluminous O stars plays an important role to understand and model their formation history. We present a spectroscopic analysis of four He-sdO stars,CD-31° 4800, [CW83] 0904- 02, LSS 1274 and LS IV +10° 9. The analysis is based on archival optical and UV high-resolution spectra. We used Tlusty200/Synspec48 to compute line blanketed non-LTE model atmospheres and their corresponding synthetic spectra and derive the atmospheric parameters as well as the abundances of the most prominent elements. All stars have helium-dominated atmospheres with hardly any hydrogen and temperatures between 42000 K and 47000 K while their surface gravity spans between log g = 5.4 and 5.7. CD-31° 4800 shows an enrichment of nitrogen and the characteristic pattern of hydrogen burning via the CNO-cycle, while the rest of the elements have about the solar abundance. This points to the slow merger of two helium white dwarfs as the most likely origin for this system. The other three stars are enriched in carbon, nitrogen and neon while their intermediate mass element’s abundance scatters around the solar value. They were possibly formed in the deep mixing late hot flasher scenario.

Published: March 2018

AbstractPolar microbial derived antibiotics have potential as alternatives to traditional antibiotics in treating fish against pathogenic bacteria. In this paper, 23 strains of polar fungi were fermented to detect bacteriostatic products on three aquatic pathogenic bacteria, subsequently the active fungus was identified. It was indicated that secondary metabolites of 23 strains weredistinct; of these, the extract of strain B-7 (belonging toBjerkanderaaccording to molecular identification) demonstrated a strong antibacterial activity toStreptococcus agalactiae,Vibrio anguillarumandAeromonas hydrophilaATCC7966 by Kirby-Bauerpaper strip method. During one fermentation cycle, the pH curve of the fermentation liquor became lowest (4.0) on the 4thday and rose back to 7.6 finally after 5 days, The residual sugar curve was decreased before stablising on the 6thday. It is presumed that a large amount of alkaline secondary metabolites might have been produced during fermentation. This study focuses on antagonism between aquatic pathogenic bacteria and fermentation metabolites from Antarctic fungi for the first time, which may provide data on research of antibiotics against aquatic pathogenic bacteria.
