Artykuł jest próbą odpowiedzi na pytania: czy obecne przepisy, mające chronić bioróżnorodność, są efektywne i mają charakter systemowy? czy w czasie pandemii Covid-19 zostały podjęte działania w tym sektorze na szczeblu unijnym i krajowym? w jakim kierunku, wobec skali zagrożenia koronawirusem, powinny podążać zmiany legislacyjne, aby w sposób skuteczny wspierać ochronę bioróżnorodności? w jakim wymiarze skuteczne zabezpieczenie regulacjami prawnymi ochrony bioróżnorodności może mieć wpływ na minimalizację ryzyka wystąpienia globalnych pandemii w przyszłości? Tematyka ta jest szczególnie aktualna i istotna ze społecznego punktu widzenia wobec pogarszającej się sytuacji pandemicznej, a szukanie rozwiązań, które mogą zabezpieczać świat przed tą sytuacją w przyszłości są priorytetowe.

The paper is an attempt at answering the questions: Are the current regulations expected to protect biodiversity effective and systemic? Have any actions in this respect been taken at the national and EU levels during the Covid-19 pandemics? Given the scale of the coronavirus threat, what should be the direction of legislative changes to effectively foster protection of biological diversity? To what extent can effective provision of biodiversity protection with legal regulations affect minimising the risk of global pandemics in future? The subject matter is particularly topical and pressing from the public perspective as the pandemic situation is being exacerbated and searching for solutions that may protect the world against this situation in future is a priority.

Artykuł dotyczy pieniężnych kar administracyjnych nakładanych w związku z pandemią Covid-19. Forma i zasady ich nakładania pozwalają przypuszczać, że pragmatyka ich nakładania była wadliwa i niezgodna z Konstytucją. Potwierdzają to wyroki sądów administracyjnych, kwestionujących przedmiotowe kary pieniężne.

The article discusses administrative fines imposed in connection with the Covid-19 pandemic. The form and rules of their imposition allow us to assume that the pragmatics of their imposition was flawed from the very beginning of the pandemic. This is confirmed by the judgments of administrative courts which question the financial penalties in question.

Medicine and its secrets have always enthralled human beings, especially when the focus point is on illnesses and possible treatment. The pandemic of Sars-Cov-2 determined our lives. The amount of news associated with the epidemiological crisis substantiates the statement that there is still much that is unknown in this matter. Assuming that the unknownshould be explained via something familiar, I consider the application of the conceptual metaphor. The aim is to investigate its presence and usefulness in the description and understanding of abstract conceptual domains such as illness and its course, therapy and treatment, as well as coronavirus and its form.

Pandemia Covid-19 w sposób bezprecedensowy dotknęła Brazylię czyniąc ją drugim najbardziej doświadczonym krajem świata pod względem liczby ofiar śmiertelnych. Jest to także kraj, który mimo ogromnego progresu w zakresie praw społecznych i praw człowieka wciąż jeszcze zmaga się z ogromnymi nierównościami. W niniejszym artykule, wychodząc z dwóch perspektyw badawczych – teorii obywatelstwa społecznego i kolonialności władzy odpowiadamy na pytanie badawcze czy pandemia pogłębiła i uwypukliła nierówności czy też choroba okazała się demokratyczna i dotykała wszystkich w taki sam sposób. Przedmiotem naszej analizy były grupy obywateli i obywatelek w zależności od ich pochodzenia etnicznego. Odwołując się do literatury przedmiotu oraz analizując publicznie dostępne bazy danych (PNAD, PNS, IBGE oraz WHO) pokazujemy, że wciąż jeszcze nie osiągnięto pełni obywatelstwa społecznego, a kolonialność władzy w czasie pandemii w Brazylii znów ujawniła się z większą mocą.

Covid-19 is considered as an important factor that impacts largely on the security and development. Covid-19 has caused the shiftin the definition of the national security and significance of new emerging non-traditional security issues, for instance the health security, and human security. Accordingly, Covid-19 has had devastating effects on the poor and human development, due to the economic recession and diversion of resources to focus on coping with the virus, stressing the accomplishment of sustainable development goals. It is anticipated that the entanglement of security and development issues gives rise to more complex challenges to ensure the stability and progress of sustainable economic development. This context has raised a question of how countries, especially lower middle-income countries like Vietnam, could cope with arising challenges and opportunities in the new context. This research concludes that Vietnam, as a perfect case study, has strongly supported global and regional cooperation to reset development agenda to focus on quick economic recovery towards resilient, green inclusive, and sustainable development. Internally, Vietnam was successful in controlling the pandemic, and become one of few countries that achieved positive GDP growth in the region in 2020. The key to overcome these challenges remains with the Communist Party of Vietnam’s strong political leadership to control Covid-19, and to take advantages of development trends such as globalization, shifting of supply chain, digital economy, and green recovery and green growth.

Military metaphors matter. In war as in peace, the language of warfare serves communicative purposes for it appeals to fear to persuade or dissuade. Given the analogy between the experience of disease and the enterprise of war, public health communication has often been receptive to the use of military jargon and war-related metaphors. The global outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic earlier this year evidenced the role and value of the warfare metaphor in framing the understanding of the novel infectious disease and informing pandemic response plans to this unprecedented and multifaceted crisis. The versatile function of the warfare metaphor poses, however, more problems than it solves. The paper explores the multiple correspondences between the source domain of war and the target domain of disease to explain the merits and limits of the warfare framing of the COVID-19 disease. It offers also an analysis of the collocational properties of the ‘coronavirus’ and ‘COVID-19’ lexemes to show the visceral relationship between treating diseases and waging wars. The fear-driven implications of such conceptual link motivate the use of alternative, hope-oriented metaphors to reframe the COVID-19 disease.

Public support for government institutions tends to increase in the face of threats such as armed conflict, terrorism, or natural disasters. This phenomenon, known as the 'rally-'round-the-flag' effect, has also been observed as a response to the Covid-19 pandemic in many countries. Citizens' trust in the government's good intentions and ability to handle a crisis is very important, as it gives government the legitimacy to take strong measures. High trust in government also increases citizens' willingness to comply with these measures. The aim of this study is to examine the 'rally-'round-the-flag' effect in the Czech Republic, analyse the characteristics related to the increase in trust in government, and test the relationship between trust in government and compliance with anti-pandemic measures. The analysis uses data from five waves of the Czech Household Panel Study (2016–2020) and finds a dramatic increase in trust in government in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. A relatively higher increase in trust in government was observed among people with a low level of education and low social trust. Overall, however, the rise in trust in government is more of a general tendency across society than it is an increase in one specific group of the population. Trust in government is also linked to compliance with anti-pandemic measures.

Latin America became one of the epicentresof the pandemic due to the Sars-Cov-2 virus. One of the serious problems faced by Latin American populations is forced migration, which, like everything that concerns vulnerable populations, has increased in the pandemic. The cases of Central America and Mexico, a country considered one of the largest human corridors in the world, reached unthinkable levels of human rights violations, demonstrate this. This article addresses the political and socioeconomic effects of the pandemic resulting from the Sars-Cov-2 virus (COVID-19) in Latin America. Likewise, we will present, through the press and the reports of civil society organizations, how, in the middle of the pandemic, the criminalization and blaming of migrants in the speeches of the American government agencies was accentuated.

Objectives: The pathogeny of SARS-COV2 infection is currently not well defined. In this paper, we present a new perspective of how the SARS-CoV2 infection can lead to severe cases and potential pathways of preventing such cases. Methods: In the first part, we describe the role of cyclooxigenase 2 and in the second part, we describe the role of hypoxia inducible factor (HIF). Findings: We hypothesize that cyclooxigenase 2 and hypoxia inducible factor with subsequent inflammation and hypoxia can up-regulate each other in a vicious circle of feed-forward that can ultimately lead to “cytokine storm”. Conclusions: Breaking this cycle early potentially will have beneficial effects either by improving oxygenation (oxygen being given earlier in the course of the treatment) or by inhibiting COX-2. We also believe, that the use of COX-2 inhibitors early in the course of the disease can improve the outcome and clinical trial are urgently needed.

Faced with Covid-19 people are overwhelmed with information coming from governmental or health care sources but also from social media and digital communication platforms. The Internet and especially social media are often inundated with unreliable or even false information regarding COVID-19 and vaccination against it. This seriously impacts the public health, since misinformed people may be hesitant towards the health-related measures enforced by the governments and health authorities, which, in turn, contributes to their vaccine hesitancy.The aim of the paper is to investigate the Internet memes created and popularized in Poland by supporters and opponents of COVID-19 vaccinations. The data for the study include memes published between December 2020 (vaccinations become available in Poland) to May 2021 and comes from the most popular, publicly accessible social networks and meme pages with the greatest number of followers. The content analysis relays on such variables as whether the meme is pro- or antivaccine, what persuasive appeals (emotion, fear, rationality) are used, number of reactions andshares. Additionally, the analysis looks at the thematic content of the memes and tries to specify whether the pro- and anti-vaccination memes contain more gist than verbatim information. The analysis aims to define persuasion methods that pro-vaccine and anti-vaccine groups use in their memes.

Although this research can be considered representative in several aspects, the validity of the findings is limited by the fact that no specific groups were included in the sample – e.g. the most vulnerable groups were medical staff and the elderly over 70 years of age. Also, those who were ill or suspected of having Covid-19 were excluded from the analysis. Finally, data collection via the Internet presupposes a certain standard of living of respondents

Many aspects of the global economy changed during the Covid-19 pandemic, including the real estate market. This study examines the primary residential property market in Opole during the Covid-19 pandemic. It uses property transaction data from 2018 to 2021 to conduct statistical analyses and independent group tests and also takes into account the real-estate price trend from 2014 to 2020. The study finds that both property prices and preferences relating to the structure and location of housing changed during the pandemic. In the case of Opole, the number of transactions involving residential units in the primary market increased in 2020 compared to previous years. After adjusting the unit price value of residential properties for the trend in the pre-pandemic period, the study finds that there was also an increase in property transaction prices. The study confirms three important facts relating to phenomena that are occurring globally in cities today. First, local communities are more diverse in terms of the economic heterogeneity of real estate buyers. Second, unlike big urban areas, small cities may be more resistant to the process of citizens migrating to suburban areas, thereby limiting the negative phenomenon of urban sprawl. Third, the housing real estate market in small cities is considered a reliable form of investment of assets, as real estate prices increased during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Introduction. The 2019-novel-coronavirus (2019-nCoV) outbreak has become a common problem for the whole world. Aim. To investigate the impact of the 2019-nCoV pandemic period in our country on emergency room admissions. Materials and methods. The study was designed as a retrospective cohort. The first case of pneumonia infected with nCoV in our country was diagnosed on March 11, 2020. Considering the date of March 11, 2020, emergency room admissions for two periods of 7 days were investigated, pre-COVID-19 and COVID19. Demographic data, admission diagnosis, vital findings, stay times in emergency room, terminations and emergency department mortality examined. A group of ‘geriatric’ patient populations were created to examine the admission characteristics of patients aged-65 and over. Results. The 3466 patients included in the study. The average number of daily admissions was significantly higher in the pre-COVID-19 period (350.4 ± 54.5), compared to the COVID-19 period (144.7 ± 20.2, p=0001). While the proportion of cardiac-caused admissions increased during the COVID period, the proportion of gastrointestinal-induced admissions decreased (p<0001). Hospitalization rates for both adult and geriatric patients increased during the COVID period (p<0001). Conclusion. Despite all the negativity caused by the outbreak, this period has been one in which the public is aware of unnecessary emergency room which has been subsequently lessened.

The aim of the presented research results was to diagnose changes in leisure time behaviours in the situation of the Covid-19 epidemic. The acquired knowledge about changing leisure time behaviour will be used to develop programmes to promote leisure time activity for students during and after the pandemic. The respondents used the Jay B. Nash model of leisure time, which indicates 4 levels of positive use of leisure time and also includes 2 negative levels, i.e. excesses and crime. We assume that the change in leisure time behaviours during the pandemic may consist in creating more valuable forms of activity, giving not so much pleasure but satisfaction (e.g. pursuing interests, creative activity). We also assume that as a result of these changes a sense of spending time in a valuable and meaningful way during the pandemic (building health, feeling satisfied) will be created, which may result in the permanence of the behavioural changes that have occurred, which may become new health and leisure time habits.
