Opis:
Coronavirus disease 2019 caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has affected 235.6 million people worldwide. In the present study, RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) (PDB Id: 6M71) of SARS-CoV-2, an essential enzyme needed for subgenomic replication and amplification of RNA, was selected. Similar to other RdRps, it is a conserved protein and a popular target for antiviral drug therapy. Based on a computational approach, potential RdRp inhibitors were identified. The absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity (ADMET) of selected molecules were determined using computation tools. The potential inhibitors were docked to the RdRp and later confirmed by Molecular Dynamics (MD) using the “Flare” module of Cresset software. Drummondin E and Flinderole B had higher drug similarity scores among the compounds selected in this study. Both these compounds are noncarcinogenic, nonirritant, nontumorigenic, and nonmutagenic. Molecular docking studies showed that both compounds can bind to RdRp. The best ligand interaction patterns were validated by MD using the “Flare” module. MD was performed for the period of 100 ns with the time step of 1 fs. The simulation results suggest that Thr-680, Arg-624, Lys-676, and Val-557 are key interacting partners in the Drummondin E-RdRp complex, while Asp-618, Asp-760, Asp-623, Arg-624, and Asp-761 are the interacting partners in the Flinderole B-RdRp complex. Based on the in silico drug-likeness score; ADMET properties; and molecular simulation result, we surmise that Flinderole B and Drummondin E could impede SARS-CoV-2 genome replication and transcription by targeting the RdRp protein.

Opis:
Pandemia COVID-19, stawiając społeczeństwa i rządy w sytuacji pod każdym względem wyjątkowej, nie pozostała bez wpływu na porządek prawny poszczególnych państw. Z jednej strony wymusiła podejmowanie szybkich i zdecydowanych działań, z drugiej – konieczność wnikliwej oceny oraz ważenia kosztów i konsekwencji, zarówno prawnych, jak i ekonomicznych, stosowanych środków, które często wiązały się z ograniczaniem konstytucyjnie gwarantowanych swobód obywatelskich. Choć z pozoru Szwecja wybrała odmienną od innych krajów Europy drogę postępowania w trakcie pandemii, utrzymując życie społeczne w dużym stopniu bez zmian, to jednak w swej istocie strategia ta nie różniła się nadmiernie od stosowanych w innych krajach. Celem artykułu jest przybliżenie rozwiązań przyjętych w Szwecji oraz analiza szwedzkiej strategii na tle konstytucyjnych swobód obywatelskich.
The COVID-19 pandemic, placing societies and governments in an exceptional situation in every respect, has had an impact on the legal order of individual countries. It pressed them, on the one hand, to take swift and decisive actions and, on the other hand – to a necessary thorough assessment and considering of the costs and consequences, both legal and economic, of the introduced measures, often related to the constraints of constitutionally guaranteed civil liberties. Although Sweden during the pandemic seemingly chose a path different from other European countries, keeping social life largely unaffected, in its essence this strategy did not differ much from those used in other countries. The aim of the article is to present the solutions adopted in Sweden and to analyse the Swedish strategy against the background of constitutional civil liberties.

Opis:
Wysoce zakaźny wirus SARS-CoV-2, który może powodować ciężką chorobę układu oddechowego znaną jako COVID-19, jest obecnie krytycznym wyzwaniem dla praktyki kontaktologicznej: optometrycznej i okulistycznej. Pandemia ewoluuje, a jej wpływ na zdrowie publiczne jest znaczący oraz progresywny i będzie skutkować ogromnymi zmianami gospodarczymi i społecznymi. W czasach koronawirusa praktyka kontaktologiczna niewątpliwie staje się trudniejsza. Należy przestrzegać zasad bezpieczeństwa oraz postawić na personalizację procedur oraz oferowanych rozwiązań korekcji wad wzroku i terapii widzenia. Warto podkreślić, że badanie okulistyczne i optometryczne przeprowadzone zgodnie z zasadami epidemiologicznymi nie jest obarczone zwiększonym ryzykiem zakażenia SARS-CoV-2.
The highly contagious virus SARS-CoV-2 that causes the serious respiratory disease COVID-19 has posed a tremendous challenge to our daily optometric and ophthalmologic contact lens practice. The pandemic is still evolving. Its impact on public health has been significant and intensified and will result in significant economic and social changes. In the time of coronavirus, contactology is undoubtedly becoming more difficult. We should focus on both safety and the personalization of procedures and solutions that are offered to correct vision defects. Nevertheless, we should remember that ophthalmologic and optometric tests that are performed in accordance with epidemiological guidelines are not associated with a higher risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Opis:
Objectives The COVID-19 pandemic has globally affected healthcare workers’ (HCWs) health and wellbeing. Most studies on COVID-19 have focused on tertiary healthcare. The aim of this study was to increase the knowledge on the effects of the pandemic on working conditions in tertiary and primary healthcare. Material and Methods The comparative cross-sectional study consisted of an online questionnaire sent to HCWs of the City of Helsinki (primary healthcare) and Helsinki University Hospital (tertiary healthcare). Altogether 1580 HCWs with direct patient contact participated in the study: 895 from tertiary and 685 from primary healthcare. Statistical analysis used SPSS 25 from IBM. The tests used were the χ² test, Fisher’s exact test, and binary logistic regression analysis. Results Primary HCWs were less likely to treat COVID-19 patients (OR = 0.45, 95% CI: 0.37–0.56). However, both groups reported a similar number of COVID-19 infections, primary HCWs 4.9% and tertiary HCWs 5.0%, and workrelated quarantine was significantly more prevalent (OR = 1.96, 95% CI: 1.38–2.79) among primary HCWs. In addition, work-related wellbeing was poorer among primary HCWs than tertiary HCWs in terms of feeling more stressed at work (OR = 3.20, 95% CI: 2.55–4.02), not recovering from work (OR = 0.49, 95% CI: 0.39–0.62), reported mental wellbeing below normal levels (OR: 1.59, 95% CI: 1.26–2.00), and increased working hours (OR = 1.63, 95% CI: 1.25–2.12). Conclusions The study demonstrates how the pandemic has affected the wellbeing and working conditions of not only tertiary but also less studied primary HCWs. Our findings suggest that the challenges identified during the COVID-19 pandemic in the health and wellbeing of healthcare workers are even greater in primary care than in tertiary care.

Opis:
The disruptive impact of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic raised awareness of the need for elucidation of its’ conceptual framework among contemporary linguists. This paper attempts to reconstruct the most fundamental conceptual relations within the compound “SARS-CoV-2” in terms of the Conceptual Blending. The main hypothesis for this research states that certain compression patterns and the structural specificity of the emerging blend make the compound “SARS-CoV-2” an efficient conceptual and formal template for multi-scope blending in future linguistic research concerning mutations of the coronavirus. The topology of mental spaces, the emergent structure within the blend, main compression patterns emerging from specific contextual constraints, the interplay of various vital relations, the dynamics of change and the potential to scale down vital relations (transmissibility and transmission dynamics of the SARS-CoV-2 virus) will be outlined. A seven-space-model of the SARS-CoV-2 conceptual integration network will be proposed. The results of analysis of intra- and outer-spatial vital relations connecting the input spaces and respective compression patterns will be demonstrated with reference to similarities and differences between SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2.

Opis:
The treatment of domestic and industrial wastewater is a source for a large number of airborne microorganisms, which can be released at the environment during mechanical aeration. A meta-analysis of up to 14 industrial and municipal treatment plants was performed to determine the bacterial count in bioaerosols, as well as antibiotic resistance, at different stages of the wastewater treatment (pretreatment, primary, secondary and tertiary treatment), in comparison with bacterial counts of the ambient air surrounding the treatment plants. The highest contamination of the air with microorganisms was observed in the raw sewage inlet and at the biological reactor. In most analyzes, the air in the wastewater treatment plant was characterized by a higher content of microorganisms than at the control point. Bioaerosols from water treatment might be an important source of antibiotic resistance genes, which can be transported considerable distances and can represent a potential risk to humans. Therefore, employees should recognize the health risks associated with the absence of personal protective equipment, such as masks or respirators.

ObjectivesTo assess the seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in municipal employees of Northern Portugal during the first pandemic wave (May–June 2020) and its association with potentially related risk factors for infection.Material and MethodsThe authors assessed municipal employees of 2 cities in Northern Portugal, in whom serological tests to SARS-CoV-2 and an epidemiological survey were applied. The authors assessed the proportion of individuals presenting IgM and/or IgG antibodies to SARS-CoV-2, and evaluated the association between having positive serological test results, epidemiologic variables and clinical presentations. Reported symptoms were evaluated on their sensitivity, specificity, and predictive values.ResultsThe authors assessed 1696 employees, of whom 22.0% were firefighters, 10.4% were police officers, 10.3% were maintenance workers, and 8.1% were administrative assistants. The seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2 infection was 2.9% (95% CI: 2.1–3.7%). Administrative assistants comprised the professional group with highest seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2 (OR = 1.9 in the comparison with other occupational groups, 95% CI: 0.8–4.3, p = 0.126). The seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2 infection among those who were in direct contact with COVID-19 patients in their professional activity was 3.9%, compared to 2.7% among those who were not in direct contact with such patients (OR = 1.5, 95% CI: 0.8–2.8, p = 0.222). The highest risk of infection was associated with the presence of a confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection in the household (OR = 17.4, 95% CI: 8.3–36.8, p < 0.001). Living with a healthcare professional was not associated with a higher risk of infection (OR = 1.0, 95% CI: 0.4–2.5, p = 0.934). Anosmia/dysgeusia was the symptom with the highest positive predictive value (52.2%, 95% CI: 31.8–72.6, p < 0.001) and specificity (99.3%, 95% CI: 98.9–99.7, p < 0.001), while cough was the most prevalent symptom among SARS-CoV-2 seropositive participants (36%).ConclusionsThe authors observed a SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence of 2.9% among assessed municipal employees. Anosmia/dysgeusia was the COVID-19 symptom which displayed the highest positive predictive value and specificity.

Opis:
Około 1 mln migrantów przebywa obecnie w Polsce, głównie są to pracownicy z Ukrainy. Restrykcje w przekroczeniu granic Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej w dobie pandemii COVID- 19 oraz perspektywa recesji gospodarczej stały się czynnikami motywującymi do opuszczenia polskiego rynku pracy przez pracowników z Ukrainy. Ograniczenie handlu i usług w wielu polskich przedsiębiorstwach wymusiło redukcję personelu w obawie przed bankructwem. Przedsiębiorcy, którzy zwolnili swoich pracowników nie czekając na wsparcie rządu w postaci „tarczy antykryzysowej", postawili najczęściej na osoby o najniższym stażu pracy, niemające umów o pracę i pochodzące z mniejszości narodowych. Skutki gospodarcze i polityczne takich decyzji odczuje w dłuższej perspektywie cały rynek pracy. Analiza migracji ukraińskich pracowników w Polsce po wybuchu epidemii COVID-19 pozwoli ocenić skalę tej migracji i podjąć próbę odpowiedzi na pytanie: Czy polscy przedsiębiorcy działają w duchu interesu publicznego, czy jednak uprzedzeń wobec obcej siły roboczej? Badanie ma na celu analizę reakcji służb i instytucji publicznych na migracje spowodowane rozprzestrzenianiem się wirusa SARS-CoV-2. Dane wskazują, że nie radziły sobie one z wydaniem nowych kart pobytu, zezwoleń na pracę. Wystąpiły komplikacje związane z przekraczaniem granicy. Wszystko to świadczy o słabym przygotowaniu służb granicznych do migracji o tak dużej skali. Ponadto doszło do wzrostu liczby zwolnień obywateli Ukrainy w czasie trwania pandemii. Zauważono również wystąpienie przejawów rasizmu w społeczeństwie. W efekcie nasiliła się migracja.
About 1 million migrants currently reside in Poland, and mainly they are workers from Ukraine. Restrictions on crossing the borders of the Republic of Poland in the time of the COVID-19 pandemic and the prospect of economic recession have become motivating factors for Ukrainian workers to leave the Polish labor market. Restrictions of trade and services in many Polish enterprises forced the reduction of their staff in fear of bankruptcy. Entrepreneurs who dismissed their employees without waiting for government support in the form of the "anti-crisis shield" most often focused on people with the lowest seniority, who are not on employment contracts, and those coming from national minorities. The analysis of the migration of Ukrainian workers in Poland during the COVID- 19 outbreak will allow us to assess the scale of this migration and attempt to answer the question whether Polish entrepreneurs act in the spirit of national patriotism or racism. The study aims to analyze the response of public services and institutions as a result of migration caused by the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Migration and compilations related to crossing the state border have revealed the poor preparation of border services for such a large scale of migration. There has also been an increase in the number of cases of national racism in the society.

Opis:
ObjectivesThe COVID-19 pandemic is due to SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus infections. It swept across the world in the spring of 2020, and so far it has caused a huge number of hospitalizations and deaths. In the present study, the authors investigated serum anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibody prevalence in the period of June 1–September 25, 2020, in 7561 subjects in Modena, Northern Italy.Material and MethodsThe study population included 5454 workers referred to testing by their companies, and 2107 residents in the Modena area who accessed testing through self-referral.ResultsThe authors found the overall seroprevalence to be 4.7% (95% confidence interval [CI] 4.2–5.2%), which was higher in women (5.4%, 95% CI: 4.5–6.2%) than in men (4.3%, 95% CI: 3.7–4.9%), and in the oldest age groups (7.3%, 95% CI: 5.2–9.3% for persons aged 60–69 years, and 11.8%, 95% CI: 8.6–15.1%, for persons aged ≥70 years). Among the occupational categories, the highest seroprevalence was found in healthcare workers (8.8%, 95% CI: 7.0–10.5%), dealers and vehicle repairers (5.2%, 95% CI: 2.9–7.6%), and workers in the sports sector (4.0%, 95% CI: 1.8–6.1%), while there was little or no such evidence for those employed in sectors such as transport and storage, accommodation and restaurant services, and the school system. Conclusions: These results have allowed, for the first time, to assess population seroprevalence in this area of Italy severely hit by the epidemic, while at the same time identifying the subgroups at a higher risk of exposure to SARS-CoV-2.

Celem artykułu jest analiza wpływu strachu przed nowymi zagrożeniami w dziedzinie bezpieczeństwa na rozwój polskich Wojsk Specjalnych oraz Wojsk Obrony Terytorialnej. Została ona przeprowadzona chronologicznie z uwzględnieniem zmian, jakie zachodzą w Siłach Zbrojnych RP. W artykule wskazano zasadnicze efekty osiągnięte w rozwoju obydwu formacji, a które zostały wywołane w odpowiedzi na strach i poczucie zagrożenia. Wspomina się również o wyzwaniach, jakie ciągle stoją przed Wojskami Specjalnymi i Wojskami Obrony Terytorialnej. Przyjęto, że pojawiające się w ostatnich 20 latach zagrożenia wywołujące uczucie strachu wśród jednostek i całych społeczeństw spowodowały podjęcie przez polski rząd decyzji dotyczących szczególnego rozwoju dwóch rodzajów sił zbrojnych – Wojsk Specjalnych i Wojsk Obrony terytorialnej. Analizy dokonano w oparciu o dostępne źródła i literaturę przedmiotu oraz obserwację uczestniczącą.
The aim of this article is to analyse the impact of a fear of new threats in the field of security for the development of the Polish Special Forces and the Territorial Defence Forces. The study was conducted in a chronological order taking into account the changes still taking place in the armed forces of the Republic of Poland. The article indicates the main results achieved in the development of both formations and brought by fear and threat. It also points out to the challenges still faced by Special Forces and the Territorial Defence Forces. It has been assumed that the threats of the last 20 years, causing a sense of fear among individuals and entire societies, prompted the Polish Government to make decisions regarding detailed development plans for two types of armed forces – Special Forces and the Territorial Defence Forces. The analysis was based on the available sources and literature on the subject, as well as participant observation.

Opis:
Chronically hemodialyzed (HD) patients are at a high risk of developing very severe forms of COVID-19 disease. In this article we describe three HD patients (all males, aged 70, 70 and 74 years) vaccinated intramuscularly with a two-dose mRNA BNT162b2 vaccine; BionTech/Pfizer Comirnaty, in whom subsequent breakthrough SARS-CoV-2 infections developed. All patients achieved post-vaccine seroconversion for anti-spike antibodies with IgG titers of 445, 227 and 92.5 AU/mL (cut-off, 13 AU/mL) case 1, 2 and 3 respectively. SARS-CoV-2 infection was diagnosed 44, 28 and 48 days after the second dose of BNT162b2 and confirmed with the polymerase-chain-reaction (PCR) test. Two asymptomatic patients underwent this test because of their direct contact with a person with confirmed COVID-19. The third patient reported only a non-significant drop in oxygen saturation, and was hospitalized (case 3). All these patients were characterized by a low post-vaccination neutralizing antibody titer and a high production of these antibodies after falling ill (795, 845 and 5770). Perhaps this production of antibodies is responsible for the mild course of the disease, and the likely reduction of mortality. These breakthrough cases in no way undermine the importance of the vaccinations, and on the contrary argue for their urgency.

Opis:
Objectives The assessment of the prevalence of anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in various professional groups is very important. Hence, the purpose of the following study was to analyze the seroprevalence of anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies among employees performing both medical and nonmedical professions before the launch of SARS-CoV-2 vaccination. Material and Methods The study was conducted among employers of 1 of the institutions: The Provincial Specialist Hospital of Władysław Biegański in Łódź, Poland, Radio Łódź and the Border Guards of Łódź Airport. Blood samples were collected in December 2020–February 2021. Patients were screened for the presence of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies. Simultaneously respondents were asked to complete a self-designed questionnaire including demographic data, detailed profession, history of SARS-CoV-2 infection and willingness to be vaccinated against COVID-19. Results Seroprevalence was significantly higher in the group of rural residents (p < 0.012), participants who declared previous COVID-19 infection (p < 0.001) and healthcare workers (HCWs) (p = 0.002), especially nurses (35.5%, p = 0.003) and medics worked in areas dedicated to COVID-19 than in other specialties (38.7% vs. 26.8%, respectively, p = 0.017). There was no association between the presence of antibodies and the gender (p = 0.118), age (p = 0.559) or BMI (p = 0.998). Conclusions Healthcare workers, in particular nurses, are at high risk of contracting COVID-19 in the workplace. Occupational infections can occur during occur not only during contact with the patient, but also with members of the medical team who do not show typical symptoms of the disease. Shortages in medical staff may also increase the number of infections among HCWs. Medical and hospital staff providing health services during the COVID-19 epidemic in Poland, may seek compensation in the event of consequences related to SARS-CoV-2 infection. The effectiveness of education and self-discipline in complying to safety rules among HCWs should also be constantly monitored.

Opis:
Niniejsze opracowanie podejmuje zagadnienie postępowania ze zwłokami ludzkimi w czasie pandemii COVID-19 i jego wpływu na środowisko naturalne. Przyjęliśmy perspektywę zielonej kryminologii z uwagi na trwający niezmiennie od lat kryzys klimatyczny. Mimo podnoszonego w dyskursie naukowym problemu szkodliwych dla środowiska działań człowieka związanych z chowaniem zmarłych, kwestia ta została pominięta przez władze państw mierzących się z kryzysem pandemicznym. Celem tego opracowania było rozważenie, na ile chaos związany z rosnącą liczbą zgonów i problem z zarządzaniem ciałami, wpłynęły na jakość środowiska naturalnego. Omówiliśmy tradycyjne, najczęściej stosowane na świecie metody pochówku, tj. inhumację i kremację oraz ich wpływ na środowisko naturalne. Przedstawiliśmy zalecenia Światowej Organizacji Zdrowia (WHO) dotyczące postępowania z ciałami osób zmarłych w wyniku zakażenia wirusem SARS-CoV-2. Omówiliśmy metody zarządzania dynamicznie wzrastającą liczbą osób zmarłych w trzech krajach: w Polsce, Brazylii i Indiach. Podjęliśmy próbę odpowiedzi na pytanie, na ile przyjęcie takich metod było konieczne z perspektywy zaleceń WHO, a ostatecznie – jak ich stosowanie wpłynęło na środowisko naturalne, a zwłaszcza jakość gleb, wód gruntowych oraz powietrza. Na koniec przedstawiliśmy przegląd alternatywnych, bardziej przyjaznych dla środowiska, choć mniej konwencjonalnych metod postępowania ze zwłokami.
This study addresses the issue of handling human remains during the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the environment. We have adopted a green criminology perspective due to the ongoing climate crisis. Despite the problem of environmentally harmful human activities related to the burial of the dead being raised in the scientific discourse, this issue has been neglected by the authorities of countries facing the pandemic. The aim of this study was to consider the extent to which the chaos associated with the increasing number of deaths and the problem of managing the bodies has affected the quality of the environment. We discuss the traditional methods most commonly used in the world, i.e. burial and cremation, and their impact on the environment. We present the recommendations of the World Health Organization for managing the remains of persons who died as a result of SARS-CoV-2 virus infection. We discuss methods for managing the sharply increasing number of victims in three countries: Poland, Brazil and India. We attempt to answer the question of how far the adoption of such methods was necessary from the perspective of the WHO recommendations and, ultimately, how their use affected the environment, particularly the soil, groundwater and air quality. Finally, we briefly review alternative, more environmentally friendly, though less conventional methods of handling bodies.
