As compared with traditional paper-based versions and the standard username-password login to e-Government services, the new electronic identity and travel documents have made on-site electronic and on-line authentication of citizen more comfortable and secure.The biometric passport was introduced in Hungary in 2006. A decade later the electronic identity card (eID) was implemented. The reason for the improvement of such documents is twofold: enhancing security features and performing new functions. The development is certainly welcome, but it also generates new types of risks, with which governments and citizens must take into account.In this paper, I will first analyze the most widespread technologies of data storage cards from the passive elements to the chipcards, including the biometric passport. The objective is to provide an overview of the technical development as a background to my paper. I will then proceed to an analysis of the relevant EU and national legal background, data elements, data protection and the functions (ePASS, eID, eSIGN) of the new Hungarian and German identity card, as well as the security risks and protection properties of the eID-type documents. The paper concludes with a summary of the lessons learned from and the risks involved in the current solutions in Hungary and Germany.

Rostov Region belongs to the highly protected natural territories characterized by the continuous plowing. There territories are the only reserves with the soils preserved in their natural state. However, these areas often lack detailed information about the soils quality and composition. Surveying soils on these territories is crucial for determination of their basic physical and chemical properties. The resulted compilation of soil maps could lay a foundation for creating the Red Book of Soils and the formation of a section in the soil-geographical database of the Russian Federation. Subsequently, such information can be used as a background data for the main types of soils in the region. It will be also valuable during monitoring and justification of conservation measures.

Background: Data about the value of interleukin 6 and CRP in the prediction of severity of acute pancreatitis (AP) is still limited. This study is aimed at assessing the values of interleukin 6 and CRP in the prediction the severity of AP. Patients and methods: 55 patients with AP were enrolled. Interleukin was measured at 2 times: the 1st and the 3rd days. Results: IL-6 level day 1 in severe AP (168.86 ± 70.65 pg/ml) was significantly higher than in mild AP (89.54 ± 28.81 pg/ml) and IL-6 day 3 in severe AP (58.64 ± 20.77 pg/ml) significantly higher than mild AP (29.73 ± 14.88 pg/ml). concerning the prediction of severity of AP, IL-6 in day 1 (with cut-off 113.36 pg/ml) had the sensitivity 81.25% and the specificity 84.64%, PPV 68.4% and NPV 91.7%, accuracy rate 88.8%, AUC 0.888 and respectively in day 3 (with cut-off 41.38 pg/ml were 87.5%; 87.18%; 73.7%; 4.4%; 86.7%; 0.867. The values in prediction of severity were significantly higher when combining IL 6 and CRP in compare with the single marker. Conclusion: Combining Interleukin 6 and CRP may have a good value in the prediction of the severity of AP. Key words: Interleukin 6, CRP, acute pancreatitis, severity.

Background: Data about efficacy of Tenofovir in patients of HBV –related cirrhosis in Vietnam was still limited. This study is aimed at: - evaluating the clinical, biochemical, virological and Child-Pugh score responses 3,6,9 months after Tenofovir therapy; - assessing possible side effects of tenofovir. Patients and methods: 40 patients with HBV-related cirrhosis were enrolled. All has received Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate 300mg/day. Follow-up after 3,6 and 9 months. Results: Anorexia, oedema and ascites were significantly improved after treatment. HBV DNA became undetectable in 92.5%, 94.55 and 100% after 3,6 and 9 months, respectively. Child- Pugh score was improved after treatment (5.94±0.22 after treatment vs 7.47±0.28 before treatment). Side effects were minors (nausea, vomiting). No case of increase in serum creatinine was found. Conclusion: Tenofovir showed effective and safe in patients of HBV-related cirrhosis. Key words: Cirrhosis, tenofovir, HBV. Key words: cirrhosis, tenofovir, HBV

This article deals with the issue of security management and its following application in education. The article focuses on the topic of armed attacks at schools. Based on a research probe aimed at teachers which focused on perception of security risks, there are chosen areas to which Central emergency system services should react. Further, knowledge of technical and organizational measures of emergency plans in the organization and the level of attention paid to this issue by the school management were investigated. In the text there are also international models of solutions of this issue introduced. The contribution also brings outline of how is the issue solved in the European Union countries, in particular in the Kingdom of Spain. Experience with the solution of security issues of schools in Latin America are also mentioned. In the conclusion the summary of measures for improvement of security at schools is presented.
