Renesans czy rozpad politologii?– artykuł postulatywny (wstęp do dyskusji programowej)
Authors: Obacz Piotr 
Published: February 2024

Wobec złożonych wyzwań, z jakimi musi się obecnie mierzyć polska politologia, zachodzi paląca potrzeba poważnej debaty nad kierunkiem ewolucji politologii w Polsce, zmian na gruncie tej dyscypliny, nad jej przyszłością. Rezultatem tej debaty powinien być program działań, które wzmocnią politologię polską, pozwolą na jej dalszy owocny rozwój, a także spowodują, że rozwiane zostaną wątpliwości odnośnie do naukowego znaczenia i społecznej roli politologii. Wszystko jednak zależy od samych uczonych – od ich zaangażowania, stąd pytanie: „renesans czy rozpad politologii?” pozostaje (niestety) otwartym.
Niniejszy artykuł może być postrzegany jako swoista „zachęta” do podjęcia szerszej i systematycznej debaty środowiskowej, rezultatem której mogłyby być zręby nowego politologicznego programu naukowego, który z kolei mógłby zainspirować do nowych rozwiązań organizacyjnych i nowych formuł badawczych oraz stymulowałby procesy integracyjne w obrębie tegoż środowiska.
Na potrzeby takiej debaty, w artykule przedstawiono zręby autorskiej koncepcji „IKR”: Integracja – Konsolidacja – Rekonfiguracja tematyczna. Jest to propozycja celująca w naprawę relacji naukowych (zawodowych) w obrębie polskiego środowiska politologicznego i poprawę kondycji naukowej dyscypliny, jak również zawierająca pewne postulaty organizacyjne oraz związane z badaniami i dydaktyką.
Na końcu opracowania znalazły się dodatkowo pewne uwagi dotyczące miejsca teorii polityki w owym ewentualnym przyszłym programie rozwoju politologii. Autor broni stanowiska, zgodnie z którym teoria polityki mogłaby pełnić rolę facylitacyjną w procesie rozwoju polskiej politologii.

Published: February 2024

Abstract
A novel copper iodide hybrid compound, (DABCO-H)CuKI3, featuring a perovskite structure is here reported. Characterization techniques, including single crystal X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and photoluminescence studies, elucidate the structural and luminescent properties. The compound exhibits blue phosphorescence, attributed to mixed metal-to-ligand and halide-to-ligand charge transfer transitions, as supported by density functional theory (DFT) calculations and XPS valence band analysis. Furthermore, (DABCO-H)CuKI3 displays a remarkable adsorption capacity towards methylene blue dye. Kinetic modelling reveals that both film and intra-particle diffusion processes contribute to the adsorption rate.

Objective:
In the context of two Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) outbreaks involving local transmission and an international flight, we used meta-transcriptome and multi-amplicon sequencing to successfully acquire the complete viral genome sequences from clinical samples with varying viral loads.

Methods:
To enhance viral transcript presence, we used a primer pool for reverse transcription and sequenced the samples with nanopore sequencing, and successfully acquired the entire genomic sequence of the virus within less than 4 hours. In a substantial sample size of approximately 800 clinical specimens, we thoroughly examined and compared different sequencing methods.

Results:
Meta-transcriptome sequencing was effective for samples with viral reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) threshold cycle (Ct) values below 22, whereas multi-amplicon sequencing was effective across a wide Ct range. Additionally, enriched nanopore sequencing was valuable in capturing the complete genome sequence when rapid results are required.

Conclusion:
Through monitoring the viral quasi-species in individual patients, we observed ongoing viral evolution during neutralizing antibody therapy and found evidence that vaccine administration may affect the development of viral quasi-species. Overall, our findings highlight the potential of this viral sequencing strategy for both outbreak control and patient treatment.
Neonatal Group B Streptococcus Disease
Authors: Coggins Sarah A. , Puopolo Karen M. 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Group B Streptococcus (GBS) is an important cause of neonatal sepsis in term and preterm infants. Because GBS colonizes human genitourinary and gastrointestinal tracts, a significant focus of neonatal GBS disease prevention is to interrupt vertical transmission of GBS from mother to infant during parturition. Routine antepartum GBS screening in pregnant women, as well as widespread use of intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis, have aided in overall reductions in neonatal GBS disease during the past 3 decades. However, neonatal GBS disease persists and may cause mortality and significant short- and long-term morbidity among survivors. Herein, we highlight contemporary epidemiology, microbial pathogenesis, and the clinical presentation spectrum associated with neonatal GBS disease. We summarize obstetric recommendations for antenatal GBS screening, indications for intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis, and considerations for antibiotic selection. Finally, we review national guidelines for risk assessment and management of infants at risk for GBS disease.
Subsurface Imaging Using Interferometry of Distributed Acoustic Sensing Ambient Noise Measurement along a Dark Fiber Line: A Case Study in Downtown Reno, Nevada

Published: February 2024

ABSTRACT
Distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) technology is an emerging field of seismic sensing that enables recording ambient noise seismic data along the entire length of a fiber-optic cable at meter-scale resolution. Such a dense spatial resolution of recordings over long distances has not been possible using traditional methods because of limited hardware resources and logistical concerns in an urban environment. The low spatial resolution of traditional passive seismic acquisition techniques has limited the accuracy of the previously generated velocity profiles in many important urban regions, including the Reno-area basin, to the top 100 m of the underlying subsurface. Applying the method of seismic interferometry to ambient noise strain rate data obtained from a dark-fiber cable allows for generating noise cross correlations, which can be used to infer shallow and deep subsurface properties and basin geometry. We gathered DAS ambient noise seismic data for this study using a 12 km portion of a dark-fiber line in Reno, Nevada. We used gathered data to generate and invert dispersion curves to estimate the near-surface shear-wave velocity structure. Comparing the generated velocity profiles with previous regional studies shows good agreement in determining the average depth to bedrock and velocity variations in the analyzed domain. A synthetic experiment is also performed to verify the proposed framework further and better understand the effect of the infrastructural cover along the cable. The results obtained from this research provide insight into the application of DAS using dark-fiber lines in subsurface characterization in urban environments. It also discusses the potential effects of the conduit that covers such permanent fiber installations on the produced inversion results.

To compare reading performance in children with and without visual function anomalies. This cross-sectional study was carried out from May 2021 to April 2022 in a tertiary eye hospital of Bangladesh. This study included patients with 6-15 years of age who visited at Vision Therapy clinic. CISS-score was used to identify the asthenopia complaints and reading difficulties while having a normal vision and normal retinal function only selected for recruitment. Reading error, accuracy and reading speed were assessed with an N-notation chart with an N6 target size and the time taken to complete the task was recorded with a stopwatch. Both univariate and bivariate tables are used for analysis. Statistics analysis was performed accordingly, and the level of significance used was at 0.05. Out of 200 subjects, 46.5% boys and 53.5% girls. Of the total, 15.5% had NVF. The mean age of the participants was 12.04 (±2.44) years. Children with AVF had a higher number of reading errors and non-significant negative correlation (AVF=7.64 (±5.19); NVF 6.55 (±3.67); (r = -1.00, p=0.157). Lower Reading accuracy was noted in AVF as correlated to NVF and non-significant negative correlation (AVF=86.11 (±14.84); NVF=86.43 (±13.12); (r= -0.008, p=0.912). Similarly, lower reading speed was noted in AVF as correlated to NVF and non-significant negative correlation (AVF=79.47 (±39.20) wpm; NVF=84.51±36.84 wpm; (r= -0.047, p=0.507). A statistically significant difference was seen between AVF and NVF (p=0.001 at a 95% Confidence Interval of the differences). Children in the 1 to 5 grades presented a higher risk of reading impairment than the 6 to 10grades. Higher reading speed (112±20.69wpm) was noted in 10 grade. In this study, it was observed that poor reading performance is linked to abnormal visual function in school-aged children, but visual function and reading performance are not positively related.

Visual rehabilitation following cataract surgery with compromised capsular bag includes various options like anterior chamber (ACIOL), fixation to the iris (Iris claw IOL), or fixation to the sclera (SFIOL), as a primary or secondary procedure. We studied the clinical outcome in patients who underwent 4- point fixation of SFIOLs. Retrospective data analysis of fourteen patients who underwent sclera fixated intraocular lens implantation from 2016 to 2018 at our institute under standard operative conditions was done. The postoperative vision by three months ranged from LogMAR 1.0 – 0.2, out of fourteen patients, BCVA in 60 % of the patients ranged from LogMAR 0.3-0.2 which was maintained at six months follow up with minimal complications. 4- point fixation of scleral fixated IOL is a good option with favourable outcome, in aphakics who are not ideal candidates for iris claw lens.

Published: February 2024

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is becoming increasingly and seriously prevalent lifestyle health problem worldwide. Up to 70% of diabetic patients can develop corneal changes and are also difficult to manage. Several studies were done to find out the morphological changes in cornea in type 2 DM, but the results are highly variable. Central corneal thickness (CCT) is widely considered as a constant parameter, so are measured only once during follow up in our daily clinical practice. Here we study the effect of diabetes over CCT, for a better understanding of the impact of diabetes over CCT.A comparative observational study of one and half years done among 106 diabetes and 106 non diabetic patients between 35 to 75 years old, attending ophthalmology OPD. CCT of both eyes was measured and mean CCT and was compared between diabetic and non-diabetic groups, among different subgroups of diabetic subjects and other parameters.CCT was thicker among diabetic groups (553.4434um) than non-diabetic groups (549.8491) but was not statistically significant according to our study. But there was statistically significant (p value 0.000165) thickening with increasing grades of diabetic retinopathy (DR) (mild DR (535.4524), moderate DR (543) and PDR (591.5)). Our study concludes that DM is associated with thicker cornea; hence CCT values can vary with time in DM. So repeated CCT measurements for corrected IOP values is advised and warranted in DM patients for proper management of IOP.
Perception de la Sanction, Perception de la Justice Sociale et Attitude a l’Egard du Paiement de l’Impot chez les Cefs de Menage d’Abidjan (Cote d’Ivoire)

Published: February 2024

En dépit de l’importance indéniable des recettes fiscales dans la constitution du budget de l’Etat et, par conséquent, pour le financement des projets d’utilité publique, un nombre de plus en plus élevé de contribuables en Côte d’Ivoire refusent de payer l’impôt en dissimulant leurs biens ou en les déclarant partiellement. La présente étude tente de comprendre cette situation en examinant l’incidence de la perception de la sanction encourue pour fraude ou évasion fiscale et de la perception de la justice sociale sur l’attitude à l’égard du paiement de l’impôt chez les chefs de ménage d’Abidjan. L’enquête porte sur un échantillon représentatif de 350 participants recrutés selon la technique de l’échantillonnage par quota. Les données sont recueillies grâce à un questionnaire et traitées à l’aide du test du « t de Student ». Les résultats obtenus corroborent nos hypothèses. D’une part, les chefs de ménage qui sous-estiment la sanction qu’ils encourent pour fraude ou évasion fiscale sont moins favorables au paiement de l’impôt que ceux qui surévaluent cette sanction. D’autre part, les chefs de ménage percevant une injustice sociale sont moins favorables au paiement de l’impôt que leurs pairs percevant une justice sociale. Ces résultats pourraient aider à l’élaboration de stratégies de sensibilisation plus efficaces pour favoriser la conformité fiscale volontaire.

Despite the undeniable importance of tax revenues in the constitution of the state budget and, consequently, for the financing of public utility projects, an increasing number of taxpayers in Côte d'Ivoire refuse to pay tax by concealing their property or by partially declaring it. This study attempts to understand this situation by examining the impact of the perception of the penalty incurred for tax evasion or fraud and the perception of social justice on the attitude towards paying tax among heads of households in Abidjan. The survey is based on a representative sample of 350 participants recruited using the quota sampling technique. The data are collected through a questionnaire and processed using Student's t-test. The results obtained corroborate our hypotheses. On the one hand, the heads of households who underestimate the penalty they incur for tax fraud or evasion are less favorable to paying the tax than those who overestimate this penalty. On the other hand, the heads of households perceiving a social injustice are less favorable to the payment of taxes than their peers perceiving a social justice. These results may help in the development of more effective awareness-raising strategies to encourage voluntary tax compliance.

L’objectif de cette étude était de déterminer le niveau de contamination des éléments traces métalliques (ETM) toxiques (arsenic, cadmium, mercure et plomb) dans des poissons consommés par les familles des pécheurs de Jacqueville, et ce dans le cadre d’une évaluation des risques chimiques liés à la consommation de poissons. Pour ce faire, 72 échantillons de poissons prélevés auprès de 81 foyers enquêtés et repartis entre 4 espèces, ont été analysés par spectrophotométrie d’absorption atomique. Il ressort que les traces des différents métaux existent dans les muscles (chairs) à des taux variables avec un dépassement des critères de comestibilité au niveau de l’arsenic et du cadmium. D’une part, Selene dorsalis avec 1,26 mg/kg, Sarotherodon melanotheron avec 1,33 mg/kg et Chrysichthys avec 1,27 mg/kg sont les poissons les plus contaminés en arsenic. D’autre part, Selene dorsalis avec 0,063 mg/kg et Sardina pilchardus avec 0,054 mg/kg présentent des niveaux de contamination cadmique élevés. Ces valeurs sont supérieures à la limite autorisée (0,05). Le risque pour ces consommateurs peut être réel du fait du caractère cumulatif lié à la toxicité de ces métaux, si les quantités consommées sont élevées.

The purpose of this study was to determine the level of contamination of toxic trace metal elements (TME) (arsenic, cadmium, mercury, and lead) in fish consumed by the families of Jacqueville fishermen, as part of an assessment of chemical risks associated with fish consumption. To do this, 72 fish samples taken from 81 households surveyed and divided between 4 species, were analyzed by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. It appears that traces of different metals exist in the muscles (flesh) at variable levels with edibility criteria exceeded in terms of arsenic and cadmium. On the one hand, Selene dorsalis with 1.26 mg/kg, Sarotherodon melanotheron with 1.33 mg/kg and Chrysichthys with 1.27 mg/kg are the fish most contaminated with arsenic. On the other hand, Selene dorsalis with 0.063 mg/kg and Sardina pilchardus with 0.054 mg/kg present high levels of cadmium contamination. These values are greater than the authorized limit (0.05). The risk for these consumers can be real due to the cumulative nature linked to the toxicity of these metals if the quantities consumed are high.

Published: February 2024

The aimof the work wasto analyze the current research state of phenylpropanoids as a special specific class of biologically active compounds and the prospects for their use for the development of medicines and biologically active food additives.Materials and methods.The scientific data for the period from 1968 to 2023 were studied in the databases of Scopus, ScienceDirect, PubMed, Google Scholar, e-library.ru, ResearchGate – a scientific information network. Herewith, the following keywords were used: “phenylpropanoids”, “antioxidants”, “hepatoprotectors”, “immunomodulators”, “organoprotectors”, “anxiolytics”, “adaptogens”, “preventive medicine”, “sanogenesis”, “medicines”, “biologically active food additives”, “sports medicine” and their English-language analogues.Results.This scientific research examines the main stages and results of studying the class of phenylpropanoids in the following aspects: a chemical structure and classification, biosynthesis and its role in the biogenesis of other classes of phenolic compounds, their distribution, biological and pharmacological activity in the plant world, the search for plant sources and their use in medicine and pharmacy. The existing and potential applications of phenylpropanoids for preventive and therapeutic purposes are discussed.Conclusion.The analysis of the scientific publications on the pharmacognostic and biomedical studies of the medicinal plants containing phenylpropanoids, substantiates the expediency of considering them as an autonomous specific class of biologically active compounds. The organoprotective profile of their action and a wide range of specific pharmacological activities of phenylpropanoids are connected by common links of the sanogenesis in the “prooxidant–antioxidant” system. The choosing of promising plant sources for the development of medicines and biologically active compounds with specified properties is justified from the dependence position of “chemical composition – structure of compounds – spectrum of activity”.

A chronic form of osteoporosis (OP) substantiates a long-term pharmacotherapy of patients, which increases the risk of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) during the therapy. The enhancement of requirements to the quality of safety monitoring carried out in the context of pharmacovigilance and the newly identified safety problems require an improvement of the system of quality control of medicinal products (MPs).The aim of the work was to review the application of a new promising method for monitoring the drug safety – the system of Drug-Related Problems (DRP) in the osteoporosis pharmacotherapy.Materials and methods. The following databases and search engines were used to retrieve scientific papers by Russian and foreign authors: PubMed, elibrary.ru, Google Scholar, CyberLeninka, Russian National Library. The information sources were searched using the following keywords and word combinations: “drug-related problems”, “drug safety”, “osteoporosis” (in Russian and English, respectively), as well as the corresponding MeSH terms.Results. The application of DRP system in the health care of different countries was reviewed, and the risk factors of the problems associated with the use of MPs, the appropriate interventions in case of the detection of high DRP values were investigated. The study of the problems associated with the use of MPs for the treatment of OP during the complex pharmacotherapy made it possible to determine the feasibility of using this method to improve the safety and effectiveness of this kind of treatment in patients.Conclusion. The analysis of emerging DRPs makes it possible to increase patients’ adherence to the treatment and stop the ADRs. This improves the quality of life of patients and increases the effectiveness of pharmacotherapy. The introduction of such a method of the drug safety research into the system of pharmacovigilance of the Russian Federation is an important step in the development of personalized medicine. A further study of problems associated with the use of drugs in OP patients will also help to reduce the risks arising during the combination pharmacotherapy.
Derechos humanos
Authors: Squella Agustín 
Published: February 2024

Este artículo examina la compleja relación entre democracia y derechos fundamentales, argumentando que una perspectiva histórica de los derechos, que es indispensable, no necesariamente justifica su existencia en términos historicistas. Señala que la expansión y generalización de los derechos han planteado desafíospara definir un concepto unificado de derechos fundamentales. Además, critica la percepción romántica de que la democracia es suficiente para garantizar estos derechos, especialmente en un contexto de crisis de representación, corrupción y otros desafíos contemporáneos.
El artículo también aborda la disyuntiva entre democracia y capitalismo, especialmente en su forma neoliberal, argumentando que esta alianza ha sido problemática y ha contribuido a la erosión de los derechos sociales. Se destaca que, aunque las democracias pueden violar los derechos humanos, estas violaciones no son sistemáticas y hay mecanismos para denunciarlas y corregirlas. El autor sugiere que para entender los desafíos actuales en el discurso de los derechos, es crucial considerar su historia desde la Modernidad hasta el presente.
