Russian disinformation in the armed conflict in Ukraine
Authors: Wrzosek Marek 
Published: January 2025

StreszczenieCelem przedstawionego materiału jest zaprezentowanie czynników wpływających na sposób kreowania dezinformacji podczas „rosyjskiej wojskowej operacji specjalnej”. Niestety aktualność badanego zjawiska nie doczekała się jeszcze zwartych opracowań monograficznych. Należy zwrócić uwagę na fakt, że z powodu nadal trwającego konfliktu wyniki badań będą uzupełniane przez kolejne informacje i pozyskiwaną na ich podstawie wiedzę naukową. Zasadniczy problem - jakie są zasadnicze treści narracji wykorzystywane w procesie dezinformacji podczas wojny rosyjsko-ukraińskiej? - przedstawiono w trzech aspektach: (1) podstawowe treści rosyjskiej dezinformacji w okresie destabilizacji sytuacji na Ukrainie, (2) treści informacyjne stanowiące elementy składowe rosyjskiej dezinformacji po rozpoczęciu agresji na Ukrainę, (3) osie narracji dominujące w procesie rosyjskiej dezinformacji w Polsce. Proces badawczy umożliwił wskazanie cech charakterystycznych dla doboru rosyjskich narracji podczas trwającej wojny. W zaprezentowanym materiale wykorzystano zasadniczo metodą analizy krytycznej, ponadto metody: indukcji, dedukcji i syntezy. W pozyskiwaniu materiału empirycznego wykorzystano także wnioski i doświadczenia, jakie przekazali oficerowie armii ukraińskiej w czasie seminariów i konferencji organizowanych w Akademii Sztuki Wojennej.Cel i metody badawczeCelem badań, których rezultaty przedstawiono w niniejszym artykule, były zagadnienia dotyczące sposobu prowadzenia dezinformacji przez Federację Rosyjską w konflikcie rosyjsko-ukraińskim.
Wyniki poznawcze uzyskane metodą analizy krytycznej, której poddano pozyskany materiał źródłowy (artykuły , raporty , monografie ). Ponadto w procesie badawczym wykorzystano metody: indukcji, dedukcji i syntezy, które w odniesieniu do podnoszonej problematyki pozwoliły na sformułowanie wniosków końcowych.Wnioski / rekomendacjeJednym z głównych celów rosyjskiej dezinformacji pozostaje przedstawianie inwazji na Ukrainę jako rezultatu gry zachodnich mocarstw. Rosja promuje narrację, zgodnie z którą to Stany Zjednoczone sprowokowały Rosję poprzez rozszerzanie NATO na wschód Europy do podjęcia działań zabezpieczających rosyjskie bezpieczeństwo w sferze militarnej. Dodatkowo, przyjęta narracja pomaga przedstawić Rosję jako obiekt negatywnego oddziaływania państw Zachodu. W związku z zaistniałą sytuacją Rosja musiała podjąć działania obronne nie tylko w wymiarze dyplomatycznym, ale także w wymiarze militarnym.

Published: January 2025

Pyrroloquinoline quinone dependent glucose dehydrogenases (PQQ-GDH) are attractive catalysts because of their wide substrate specificity and non-diffusible cofactor. PQQ-GDH from Acinetobacter sp. is capable to oxidize xylobiose or xylotetraose to the corresponding aldonic acid. The PQQ-GDH covalently immobilized on silica gel by cross-linking with glu­taraldehyde exhibits higher thermostability compared with the free enzyme. The pro­cedure of dichlorophenol indophenol mediated oxidation of xylobiose and xylotetraose in the presence of immobilized PQQ-GDH and laccase was developed.
Electrochemical evaluation of the influence of low water contents on corrosion in ethanol and hydrocarbon mixtures

Published: January 2025

Many studies investigated corrosion mechanisms in ethanol but their findings might not always be extended to bioethanol-based fuels, where dehydrated ethanol is mixed with 15% or larger amounts of conventional gasoline. This report describes how a 3-electrode electrolytic cell was used to study the effect of water on low carbon steel corrosion in fuel-like ethanol mixtures with hydrocarbons. The electrolyte EHX was prepared by mixing dehydrated ethanol with n-heptane and xylenes at a ratio, which addressed the octane number of retail fuels. Open Circuit Potential (OCP) and Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) results revealed that addition of water to EHX reduced the solution resistance in general. However, 1% or less water did not accelerate corrosion, despite sig­nif­icant changes in EIS patterns throughout the course of immersion up to 172 h. Addition of 4% water dramatically increased steel corrosion, justifying the need for tight control of water contents in bioethanol fuels. Electrochemical data after 6 h immersion correlated quite well with the EIS, OCP and visual observations performed after 172 h. This suggests that the employed technique is capable of rapid screening of various formulations for biofuels like E85, which might greatly assist industrial research.

Published: January 2025

Methyl (2-methylsulfanyl-6-phenyl-4-thioxopyrimidin-3(4H)-yl)acetate (2) reacted with hyd­razine hydrate at room temperature in 1-butanol to give the corresponding hydrazide 3.The same reaction at reflux in different solvents (methanol, acetonitrile, n-butanol or dimethylformamide) underwent thermally induced cyclization to yield 1-amino-7-phe­nyl-5-thioxo-1,5-dihydroimidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidin-2(3H)-one (4) and 6-hydrazino-8-phe­nyl-2H-pyrimido[6,1-c][1,2,4]triazin-3(4H)-one (5). The latter 5 was synthesized by an alternative method from 4-hydrazino-6-phenyl-2-methylsulfanylpyrimidine. New com­pounds are characterized by 1H, 13C NMR, IR spectroscopy and analytical data.

Authors: Mensi Asma , Medhioub Amel , Trad Nouha , Bel Haj Mabrouk Emna , Said Yosra , Debbeche Radhouane 
Published: January 2025

Introduction : La fibroscopie œso-gastro-duodénale (FOGD) est le gold standard pour le diagnostic des varices œsophagiennes (VO). Mais c’est un examen invasif et peut être mal toléré. Des tests non invasifs (TNI) de fibrose hépatique ont été développés pour prédire la présence des VO.
Objectif : Évaluer la performance des TNI de fibrose tels que l’élasticité hépatique (EH) et les scores sériques dans la prédiction des VO.
Méthodes : Nous avons mené une étude rétrospective, colligeant les patients ayant une hépatopathie chronique. L’élasticité hépatique (EH) et les scores sériques de fibrose ont été évalués chez tous les patients et corrélés avec les données de la FOGD.
Résultats : Cent cinquante patients ont été inclus avec un âge moyen de 58,98 ans et un sex-ratio de 0,68. Soixante-sept patients étaient cirrhotiques. Trente-trois patients avaient des VO. Les TNI de fibrose tels que l’EH et les scores sériques étaient statistiquement associés à la présence des VO. L’EH avait la meilleure performance diagnostique dans la prédiction des VO avec une valeur seuil de 13,5 Kpa et une ASC de 0,855. En analyse multivariée, l’EH, le ratio ASAT sur ALAT et le taux des plaquettes étaient des facteurs prédictifs indépendants de la présence des VO.
Conclusion : La performance de l’EH et des scores sériques dans le diagnostic des VO était démontrée. Ces examens simples et non invasifs peuvent sélectionner les patients candidats à une endoscopie digestive.

Objectifs : Analyser les caractéristiques de la prescription des biothérapies (bDMARDs) au cours des rhumatismes inflammatoires chroniques (RIC), pris en charge par la Caisse Nationale d'Assurance Maladie (CNAM) en Tunisie, estimer son coût direct et les facteurs qui en sont associés.
Méthodes : Cent neuf dossiers, consécutifs, de première prescription ou de rotation de bDMARDs, de Janvier à Juin 2022, ont été inclus. Les paramètres cliniques, thérapeutiques et déterminant le choix, ont été collectés. Les coûts mensuels de bDMARDs ont été calculés. Le surcoût est défini par un coût dépassant 2200 dinars Tunisien (DT) par mois par patient.
Résultats : Le RIC était, essentiellement, une spondyloarthrite axiale (SA) dans 44% et une polyarthrite rhumatoïde (PR) dans 37,6% des cas. L’arthrite idiopathique juvénile représentait 2,7% des cas. Les bDMARDs était prescrits majoritairement dans les régions côtières, suivant la répartition des rhumatolgues. Le certolizumab pégol était le plus prescrit dans 45% des cas. Les dépenses mensuelles totales en bDMARDs sont estimées à 225 535 ± 1269 DT. Aucune association significative n’était observée entre le choix de la molécule de bDMARDs et les caractéristiques des patients, ni des RIC, ni des prescripteurs. Le surcoût était associé de façon significative au DAS28 initial élevé lors de la PR et à l’âge jeune et la prothèse totale de la hanche au cours de la SA.
Conclusion : En Tunisie, la prescription des bDMARDs est inégale en fonction des régions et entraine un coût élevé. Le RIC le plus fréquemment traité est la SA.

Authors: Rahim Souad , Mohtadi Karima 
Published: January 2025

Objective: The objective of this study was to assess the relationship between Body Mass Index (BMI), dietary habits, physical activity, and health perception among female university students in Morocco.
Methods: The study was conducted at a Moroccan university among female students from the Faculty of Sciences Ain-Chock in Casablanca. Participants were given a self-administered questionnaire that evaluated sociodemographic factors, dietary habits, food group consumption, physical activity, and self-assessed health status. Data collection took place from February 2023 through the end of April 2023.
Results: A total of 335 students aged 18 to 29 years participated in the survey. The study revealed that 72.5% of the participants were within the normal weight range (BMI 18.5-24.9 kg/m²), while 15.9% were classified as overweight and 3.9% as obese. Additionally, 47.9% of the participants engaged in physical activity, with 30.2% dedicating more than 45 minutes to their activities. The health perception was found to be related to weight classification, with poor health perception most commonly associated with the "18.5-25" BMI range (57.8%).
Conclusion: The study sheds light on the intricate interaction between weight, health, and lifestyle in Morocco. The frequency of normal-weight persons and active participation indicates university students' health awareness. The prevalence of overweight and obesity, on the other hand, need ongoing health measures. These findings help to build focused methods for promoting healthier lives in Morocco, utilizing educational institutions as health promotion platforms.

Authors: Mahjoub Faten , Ben Amor Nadia , Rachdi Rim , Mizouri Ramla , Zaier Amani , Jamoussi Henda 
Published: January 2025

Introduction : L’obésité de l’enfant, véritable épidémie mondiale, est une pathologie multifactorielle d’origine génétique et environnementale.
Objectifs : Déterminer la prévalence du surpoids chez des écoliers dans la région du Bardo (délégation citadine du gouvernorat du grand Tunis) et étudier les facteurs associés à la surcharge pondérale.
Méthodes : Etude transversale descriptive ayant concerné des élèves âgés de 10 à 12 ans. Un interrogatoire, des mesures anthropométriques et une enquête alimentaire ont été réalisés. Selon les courbes de corpulence de l’International Obesity Task Force (IOTF) en fonction du genre, un Indice de Masse Corporelle (IMC) chez l’enfant ≥ 97ème percentile définissait le surpoids, et un IMC ≥ IOTF-30 définissait l’obésité.
Résultats : L’âge moyen des 105 élèves était de 10,8±0,5 ans. L’IMC moyen était de 19,68±3,86 kg/m². La fréquence de la surcharge pondérale était de 35,3%. Le surpoids touchait 45% des filles et 29,2% des garçons. La prévalence de l’obésité était de 8,6% (7 garçons et 2 filles). 55,6% des filles et 47,4% des garçons en surpoids avaient une alimentation hypercalorique. La prise des repas devant la télévision a été rapportée chez 40,5% des élèves en surpoids versus 19,4% des élèves normo-pondéraux. L’hyperphagie prandiale multiplie le risque de surpoids de 18,48 (p=0,0001). L’obésité parentale multiplie de 2,69 le risque de surcharge pondérale chez leur progéniture (p=0,023).
Conclusion : En plus de l’héritabilité génétique, les enfants partagent des habitudes alimentaires avec leurs parents. De ce fait, la prise en charge basée sur les mesures hygiéno-diététiques doit intéresser toute la famille.

Published: January 2025

Introduction : The ingestion of foreign body (FB) is a common problem in paediatrics. Children are curious by nature and tend to explore environment by inserting objects into their mouths.
Aim: To update our epidemiological and clinical data and adapt clinical management in order to limit morbidity associated with this fairly frequent accidental pathology.
Methods: Retrospective descriptive study including children aged less than 15 years, hospitalized in the Children's Medicine Department B of the Tunis Children's Hospital from 1 January 2016 to 31 December 2021 having ingested a FB.
Results : Forty-four children were included and admitted for foreign body ingestion, with a sex ratio of 1.4. The mean age was 4 years 4 months. Most children were asymptomatic on admission. In the others, digestive forms predominated (n=19). The average consultation time was 10.8 hours. The FBs were mainly foams and corrosives (75%), represented by batteries in 52% of cases and coins in 22% of cases. Thoraco-abdominal X-rays carried out on all patients revealed a radio-opaque foreign body in 95% of cases. The most frequent location was the colon (n=17). Endoscopy was chosen in 14 patients and was extractive in five. The mean time from admission to endoscopic extraction was 10.6 hours. The mean time to expulsion by natural route was 49 hours. Complications were noted in two patients: ulceration of the oesophageal mucosa and dyspnoea following rigid endoscopy in one case.
Conclusion : This study has shown that the ingestion of foreign body ...( abstract truncated at 250 words)

Published: January 2025

Background: Cochlear implantation is an effective method of auditory rehabilitation. Nevertheless, the results show individual variations depending on several factors.
Aim: To evaluate cochlear implantation results based on the APCEI profile (Acceptance, Perception, Comprehension, Oral Expression and Intelligibility) and audiometric results.
Methods: This was a cross-sectional study including children under 18 years of age who had a unilateral cochlear implant and whose implants had been activated at least 1 year prior to the start of the study. During this study period, 75 children underwent unilateral cochlear implantation. Among them, 44 patients had reached one year after the activation of the implant at the time of the evaluation and were then included in the analytical part. A speech-language pathology assessment using the APCEI scale was conducted for 44 cases. Thirty-eight cases had an audiometric assessment (free-field tone audiometry and speech audiometry). We assessed the results of the APCEI profile based on various factors.
Results: The mean cochlear implantation age was 5 years and 2 months. The electrode insertion was complete in all cases. The APCEI profile average was 3.6. Four children had poor results, 27 children had good results, and 13 children had excellent results. The average hearing threshold in tonal audiometry was 39dB. In voice audiometry, the average intelligibility threshold was 65% with the cochlear implant versus 75% with the cochlear implant and the contra lateral hearing aid. According to the statistical study, only two factors were considered to have a positive influence ..(abstract truncated at 250 words)
Conclusions, Consequences, Challenges
Authors: Polak Regina 
Published: July 2023

AbstractBased on the empirical results of the European Values Study 2017 and on discussion with our authors and experts, the article highlights four thematical areas that raise critical questions and require practical consequences in society, politics, education, and research as well as within religious communities. The selected topics aim at stimulating values debates and focus on a broader audience of disseminators who are concerned about promoting a qualified values discourse in Europe in the context of contemporary multifold global crises. First, the results document a severe crisis of liberal democracy, which is fuelled by the ambivalent power of values and requires, for example, more attention being paid to subsidiarity in values communication, the struggle between universal and particular values, and the values division between Western and Eastern Europe. Second, the role of religion as a problem or a component for solving the crises of liberal democracy is discussed. The extent to which religion can be a resource for promoting universal and normative values is shown, with consideration of the challenges that religious communities and actors face in this regard. Third, the need for values education is highlighted, including the strengthening of the role of religion and religious values, which is considered to be of social, and political concern. Fourth, challenges for inter- and transdisciplinary research are identified. These include revising the concepts of the European Values Study, the need to think beyond the ‘secularisation box’, and the necessity for increased communication between values research, society, and politics.
A Critical History of the Use of ‘European Values’
Authors: Weymans Wim 
Published: July 2023

AbstractThis chapter examines how the use, content, and impact of the notion of ‘European values’ in European institutions has changed over time. It especially focuses on when and why (and in what context) the term has been used and distinguishes between a conservative Christian and a more inclusive secular definition of the term. After a brief word about the method, a conservative Cold War use of the term by Christian politicians in the post-war years is examined. The chapter then explores how, after the end of the Cold War, the term was also used in a second, more inclusive and secular sense as it became mainstream when European institutions and politicians increasingly started using it to legitimise the European project (also because rival notions such as that of a ‘European identity’ or ‘social Europe’ proved less useful). Moving closer to the present, the chapter then shows how some of today’s tensions surrounding the concept of European values can be explained by their history. The chapter ends by proposing a possible way out of today’s predicament, pleading for more room for political debate around European values.
Reasonable Accommodation: James Madison and Governmental Noncognizance of Religion
Authors: Ashbach Jonathan 
Published: July 2023

AbstractScholars have long contested James Madison's position on religious liberty. Madison believed in governmental noncognizance of religion. The dominant view, voiced by Vincent Muñoz, interprets that to mean that government should take no notice of religion either to target it or to allow religious objectors exemptions from neutral and generally applicable laws. While there is much to commend Muñoz's view, it fails to accurately convey Madison's position. Noncognizance, for Madison, meant not that government should not notice religion, but that it should assume no authority over it. Consequently, Madison believed government should not interfere with religious duties unless to achieve important ends via carefully tailored policies.
