Abstract
Albrecht von Haller’s ≫Unvollkommenes Gedicht uber die Ewigkeit≪ (1737/42-1748) reflects the reciprocal relationship among empirical observation of the world, imagination and human self-determination. In Haller’s poem, the grief over the death of a friendn triggers religious and secular reflections on finiteness and eternity. Faced with the knowledge of the infinity of time and space in the Copernican universe, the imagination is plunged into a crisis that leaves the speaking and reflecting ego struggling for words. The linguistic search is an open process and the poem remains unfinished - a fragment due to the subject matter. The paper analyzes the poetic process of this crisis and illustrates how the experience of the sublime, evoked by the amazement at the multiplicity of worlds, is mixed with a melancholy fear of one’s own forlornness and placelessness in the face of cosmic infinity.

Aim: To explore the differences in acute phase responses between infection and disease flare and between viral and bacterial infections.

Methods: The retro-prospective, cross-sectional, multi-center study considered subjects who had undergone treatment for infection or disease flare between 2019 to 2021. The patients fulfilling the ACR/EULAR 2010 criteria and 2019 EULAR/ACR criteria for RA and SLE respectively, were recruited from three centers. Patients who did not have autoimmune rheumatic disease or other immune-mediated diseases were considered as controls. The participants were classified into subgroups namely ‘overall’, ‘without autoimmune rheumatic disease’, ‘SLE’ and ‘RA’. The infectious and non-infectious groups, and the bacterial and viral disease groups were compared to evaluate the differences in the parameters namely age, gender, total leucocyte count (TLC), neutrophil count(N), lymphocytes count (L) NLR, CRP and procalcitonin. Student t-test was used for the evaluation of continuous data and chi-square test for categorical data. ROC curves were plotted. The cutoff points of variable at 80% and 90% sensitivity and specificity were estimated for each subgroup to differentiate infection and no-infection.

Published: November 2024

AbstractThe decarbonization of the concrete industry is an ongoing pursuit. One solution towards this goal is the use of limestone powder in portland cement. Waste eggshell has tremendous potential as an alternative calcite filler in cement due to its similarities with limestone. In this research, the feasibility of adding 15% and 35% ground eggshell in portland cement to make cement mortars was investigated. The hydration mechanism of eggshell and limestone blended cements was compared through the heat of hydration, phase assemblage, electrical resistivity, compressive strength, and shrinkage measurements. The experimental results showed that cement mortars with ground eggshell attained similar compressive strength as that with limestone. However, eggshell mixtures demand more mixing water to compensate the hydrophobicity of the eggshell membrane. The high calcite content in both eggshell and limestone accelerates the hydration of cement at 15% replacement, but ground eggshell retards cement hydration at 35% replacement due to the dominant influence of the membrane. Overall, eggshell waste is a feasible sustainable alternative to limestone powder at up to 15% portland cement replacement levels. Lifecycle assessment and cost analysis showed that adding 15% ground eggshell in cement concrete further reduces its embodied carbon and energy and cost compared to cement concrete containing limestone powder.

: To quantitate and compare the anxiety level associated with patients who have undergone surgical extraction of teeth and root canal treatment.: This study was conducted on 100 patients who reported to the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (50) requiring surgical extraction of teeth and Department of Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics (50) requiring root canal treatment. Patients were randomly enrolled for the study and were given a questionnaire after the completion treatment (extraction and root canal treatment). The anxiety levels were evaluated based on the scores of the Corah's Dental Anxiety Scale. : The results of the present study showed that the dental anxiety was higher among subjects who have undergone surgical extraction of teeth when compared to the patients undergone root canal treatment. : In conclusion, maxillofacial surgeons should consider that patients initially visit dental office for treatment of surgical extraction of teeth with severe anxiety which could be due to conditioning or learned responses which these patients might have experienced or first visit. Thus a prior awareness of the patient's predisposition to dental anxiety may be of value, enabling to take appropriate measures pre-operatively. Thus our aim is to give anxiety free dental treatment to the patients and better postoperative recovery.

Published: November 2024

Osady ściekowe to produkt uboczny oczyszczania ścieków. Ten stały produkt powstaje zarówno przy obróbce ścieków komunalnych, jak i przemysłowych. Jest to materiał problematyczny, jednak cieszący się coraz większym zainteresowaniem, między innymi ze względu na jego potencjał energetyczny oraz odpadowe pochodzenie. Każde wykorzystanie osadów ściekowych wpisuje się w gospodarkę o obiegu zamkniętym, więc przewiduje się, że w najbliższych latach będzie to produkt poszukiwany na rynku. Osady ściekowe stanowią odpad o bardzo złożonym i zmiennym składzie, zależnym od miejsca wytworzenia i zastosowanej technologii oczyszczania ścieków – wykazano nawet pewne zmienności jego składu zależne od czasu (pory roku) ich pozyskania. W składzie osadów ściekowych znajdować się może wiele niebezpiecznych substancji, takich jak metale ciężkie, dlatego przed składowaniem lub ponownym wykorzystaniem materiał ten musi zostać przetworzony lub zmodyfikowany. Z drugiej strony osady ściekowe charakteryzują się stosunkowo wysoką wartością opałową, co powoduje, że stają się one coraz bardziej interesującym materiałem energetycznym o niskim śladzie węglowym (odpad). Przeszkodą w bezpośrednim jego zastosowaniu jako paliwa jest wysoka zawartość związków nieorganicznych, co przyczynia się do powstawania dużych ilości popiołów pochodzących z ich spalania. W niniejszej pracy przedstawiono ogólną charakterystykę osadów ściekowych powstających w procesie oczyszczania zarówno ścieków komunalnych, jak i przemysłowych. Zaprezentowano przykładowe wyniki badań fizykochemicznych osadów ściekowych pozyskanych z regionalnej instalacji przetwarzania odpadów komunalnych (RIPOK). Omówiono zmienność niektórych parametrów fizykochemicznych. Przedstawiono wybrane, perspektywiczne metody zagospodarowania osadów ściekowych, w tym zastosowanie ich w rolnictwie, kompostowanie, fermentację oraz termiczne przekształcanie. Szczególną uwagę zwrócono na metodę pirolizy, czyli beztlenowego przetwarzania osadów w kierunku otrzymywania biowęgla, czyli produktu o dużej wartości. Opisano kierunki wykorzystania biowęgla otrzymanego z osadów ściekowych. Na zakończenie artykułu odniesiono się do aktualnej struktury zagospodarowania osadów ściekowych w Polsce.

SIMULATION OF GEOELECTRIC STRUCTURE OF NORTHERN VIETNAM BY 3D INVERSION OF MAGNETOVARIATIONAL TIPPERS
Authors: Starzhinskii S.S. 
Published: November 2024

This paper presents the results of constructing a model of the geoelectric structure of Northern Vietnam obtained by 3D inversion of magnetovariational tippers calculated for 13 values of variation periods in a range of 40–10047 s at 12 points where geomagnetic variations are recorded. Inversion is performed using the ModEM software, which makes it possible to construct a model in a 400 × 400 × 200-km spatial region with the center at the Hanoi Observatory (PHU). The resulting model of the geoelectric structure contains two regional blocks separated by the Red River fault region. A conductive block is located in the southwest of the fault region, and a high-resistivity block is located in the northeast. The boundary of the blocks, inclined to the northeast at an angle of about 45°, is visible to a depth of 150 km. The conductive block occupies the region between the Red River and Song Ma faults. Its western boundary could not be localized due to insufficient data in this region. Highly conductive local blocks stand out against the background of the regional conductive block. They usually gravitate toward the faults and are located in a depth range of 10–20 km with a slight inclination to the west on latitudinal profiles and to the south on meridional ones. In a depth range of 12–14 km, they merge into one highly conductive band extending in the northwest and marking the Red River fault system connected to the Gulf of Tonkin waters. Also, there are more massive highly conductive blocks in depth intervals of 20–50 km, which are often associated with upper crustal ones. There is a highly conductive block observed on the latitudinal profile, passing through the central region of the Hanoi Basin, and steeply dipping to the east (75°) to depths of more than 100 km. The deep geoelectric features of the Red River fault system are compared with the geoelectric section under their continuation in Southern Tibet in the adjacent territory in China.
RECONSTRUCTION OF THE SUBSIDENCE DYNAMICS AND PALAEOTEMPERATURE REGIME OF THE NORTHERN MARGIN OF THE SIBERIAN PLATFORM

Published: November 2024

The formation mechanisms of sedimentary basins are considered as a response of deep processes in the mantle, therefore they carry important information about the geodynamics and thermal regime of the lithosphere. For different sectors of the northern margin of the Siberian Platform, the dynamics of sedimentation and subsidence was reconstructed. The analysis of subsidence curves shows that during the late Paleozoic the sedimentary infill formed in the foreland basin environment. In the Late Permian–Early Triassic time, in the central and western sectors, the subsidence was accelerating due to the development of a thick trap complex; after the Permian and Triassic boundary the subsidence slowed down. During the period of trap magmatism, an anomalously high subsidence rate up to 4.8 km/ Myr in the central and up to 0.5–1.1 km/ Myr in the eastern and western parts was reconstructed. The high rate and short duration of accumulation of volcanogenic sediments can be explained by an episode of short-term extension under the influence of a plume, followed by a long period of thermal subsidence. Numerical modelling of the temperature regime near mafic intrusive bodies was carried out, which showed that when determining the paleoheat flow, the influence of trap intrusions can be traced up to 400–500 m from the contacts. Estimates of the paleoheat flow for the Permian–Triassic stage of tectonic evolution of the eastern sector were obtained. It was calibrated using the PetroMod software package, based on laboratory measurements of modern values of vitrinite reflectance for rock samples from wells, modern temperature and heat flow in the sedimentary cover. It was determined that trap magmatism occurred at temperatures increased to 100 mW/m2, while the mantle component of the heat flow reached 38–72 mW/m2; it is several times higher as compared to modern one. The obtained paleoheat flow estimates for the Late Permian–Early Triassic stage appear to correspond to anomalously high values of modern continental rifts.
