The main theses of the speakers' speeches devoted to the development of the history of the state and law in the conditions of new scientific rationality are summarized. The speakers drew attention to the fact that the global transformations of the modern world determine the transition to a new, post-non-classical scientific rationality. It is characterized by an emphasis on the study of complex self-developing systems, the interdisciplinarity of scientific research. In this regard, the historical and legal science faces the task of rethinking some well-established methodological approaches based on the principles of post-non-classical methodology. Today, when the role of historical knowledge in society is increasing, when the task of preserving historical memory has reached the constitutional level, it is necessary to intensify research on topical issues within the framework of the history of the state and law. The value potential of national historical traditions can become the basis of legal and patriotic education of young people, serve as an important component in the formation of a new national idea.

In the seventh century, the prophet of Islam, Muhammad, said “If you hear of plague (outbreak) in a land, do not enter it; and if the plague (outbreak) occurs in a land while you are in it, do not leave it,” and in 2015, Bill Gates said “If anything kills over 10 million people in the next few decades, it’s most likely to be a highly infectious virus. We’re not ready for the next epidemic.” Throughout history, the world has been hit by numerous epidemics that caused lots of losses and sufferings. Today, in the time of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, it became crucial for all health care practitioners to expand their knowledge of infectious diseases. Jorge Hidalgo, a Critical Care specialist from Belize, and Laila Woc-Colburn, a Tropical Medicine specialist from the United States, have edited a new book, Highly Infectious Diseases in Critical Care: A Comprehensive Clinical Guide, intended primarily, but not exclusively, for critical care providers. Each of the editors has a significant research expertise in the field of infectious diseases. A group of international experts in infectious diseases, internal medicine, critical care, emergency medicine, anesthesiology, and microbiology have contributed to writing its various chapters. The book discusses the epidemiological and microbiological aspects of the commonly encountered infectious diseases, discusses the diagnostic and therapeutic strategies focusing on critical care management, and describes the steps for an intensive care unit (ICU) to prepare for infectious diseases and epidemics. It is unique in being written from critical care perspective and is available in printed (hardcover) and electronic (PDF) versions. The book comprises 16 properly ordered chapters. The first 3 chapters provide general information about the history, epidemiology, and microbiology of infectious diseases and emphasize the role of various community facilities and health care systems involved in the management of outbreaks. The fourth chapter discusses the laboratory methods of diagnosing viral, bacterial, fungal, and parasitic infections. The following chapters comprehensively discuss the epidemiology, microbiology, diagnosis, and management of the most prevalent and hazardous infectious diseases, including respiratory viral infections (influenza, measles, coronavirus, and smallpox), zoonotic infections (anthrax, plague, and tularemia), viral hemorrhagic fevers (Ebola virus, Marburg virus, Crimean-Congo fever, Lassa fever, and yellow fever), multidrug-resistant bacteria (Enterococcus, Staphylococcus aureus, and Enterobacteriaceae), rabies, tetanus, malaria, and tuberculosis. In addition, 2 chapters discuss the pathogenesis and management of various central nervous system infections and the monitoring and management of intracranial pressure in patients with bacterial meningitis. The book concludes with 2 essential chapters describing how to plan and prepare an ICU for a highly infectious disease and how to declare and prepare for a pandemic. In general, the book provides a balanced combination between the basic epidemiological and microbiological knowledge and the clinical diagnostic and therapeutic applications. In addition, it provides valuable historical and cultural information and incorporates a number of important concepts, such as antibiotic resistance, biowarfare, and management in resource-limited settings. The sections of each chapter are neatly ordered and properly discussed, the presented figures and illustrations are informative, and the references are appropriate and adequate. The authors use an interesting, systematic style and a scientific, yet easy language. We have a number of comments. When discussing the history of previous epidemics, little information is provided about the important Spanish flu and cholera epidemics. An illustration summarizing the roles of different health care units in the triage of highly infectious diseases and in the setting of a suspected bioterrorism attack may be added to Chapter 3. In Chapter 4, the names of the authors are unnecessarily written after some subheadings. In Chapter 5, various viral infections (influenza, measles, coronavirus, and smallpox) are collectively discussed under each subheading (Biology, Epidemiology, Clinical Findings, Diagnosis, and Management). The different infections might have better been discussed separately in a systematic manner. Chapter 14 might have been entitled “Multidrug-Resistant Tuberculosis” rather than “Tuberculosis Multidrug Resistance.” Finally, in our opinion, Chapters 10 and 15 contain parts that are difficult to understand and need linguistic revision. In conclusion, Highly Infectious Diseases in Critical Care: A Comprehensive Clinical Guide is an excellent, concise resource that provides valuable information about the epidemiology, pathogenesis, and management of various infectious diseases and helps critical care practitioners to manage the current pandemic and to be “ready for the next epidemic.” Mohamed Mohamed Tawfik, MDAmal Ahmed Nour, MScDepartment of Anesthesia and Surgical Critical CareMansoura University HospitalsMansoura, Egypt[email protected]

The article contains a summary of the materials of the Second All-Russian Scientific and Practical Conference with International Participation “Islam: Psychological Stability is the Basis of Personal and Social Well-Being”. Devoted to the problems and prospects of the development of Islamic psychology as an applied science in the Russian Federation. Among the main issues were topics related to the deliberate choice of the religion of Islam, the definition of Muslim identity in modern society. A special place was occupied by issues related to the psychological prevention of radical beliefs; resocialization of convicted Muslims. Psychological assistance to the families of convicts, interaction with the FPS. Different directions and methods of work in psychological counseling for Muslims are presented. A special place was taken by the presentation of the results of research in the field of Islamic work ethic and “Anchor theory of personality: the spiritual side of man”. The conference showed an increased interest of specialists (psychologists, theologians, religious scholars, doctors, journalists, educators, imams) from different regions of the country and abroad to the topic of Islamic psychology, directions and approaches to its understanding, research and development in Russia.

BackgroundWe developed the Apollo Structured Vocabulary (Apollo-SV)—an OWL2 ontology of phenomena in infectious disease epidemiology and population biology—as part of a project whose goal is to increase the use of epidemic simulators in public health practice. Apollo-SV defines a terminology for use in simulator configuration. Apollo-SV is the product of an ontological analysis of the domain of infectious disease epidemiology, with particular attention to the inputs and outputs of nine simulators.ResultsApollo-SV contains 802 classes for representing the inputs and outputs of simulators, of which approximately half are new and half are imported from existing ontologies. The most important Apollo-SV class for users of simulators is infectious disease scenario, which is a representation of an ecosystem at simulator time zero that has at least one infection process (a class) affecting at least one population (also a class). Other important classes represent ecosystem elements (e.g., households), ecosystem processes (e.g., infection acquisition and infectious disease), censuses of ecosystem elements (e.g., censuses of populations), and infectious disease control measures.In the larger project, which created an end-user application that can send the same infectious disease scenario to multiple simulators, Apollo-SV serves as the controlled terminology and strongly influences the design of the message syntax used to represent an infectious disease scenario. As we added simulators for different pathogens (e.g., malaria and dengue), the core classes of Apollo-SV have remained stable, suggesting that our conceptualization of the information required by simulators is sound.Despite adhering to the OBO Foundry principle of orthogonality, we could not reuse Infectious Disease Ontology classes as the basis for infectious disease scenarios. We thus defined new classes in Apollo-SV for host, pathogen, infection, infectious disease, colonization, and infection acquisition. Unlike IDO, our ontological analysis extended to existing mathematical models of key biological phenomena studied by infectious disease epidemiology and population biology.ConclusionOur ontological analysis as expressed in Apollo-SV was instrumental in developing a simulator-independent representation of infectious disease scenarios that can be run on multiple epidemic simulators. Our experience suggests the importance of extending ontological analysis of a domain to include existing mathematical models of the phenomena studied by the domain.
