Acceptance and hesitancy to receive COVID-19 vaccine among university students in Egypt: a nationwide survey.

Background: The public's willingness to be vaccinated will determine the success of the COVID-19 vaccination program. The aim of this study was to identify acceptance and hesitancy to receive COVID-19 vaccine among university students in Egypt, assess their level of knowledge about COVID-19 vaccine and identify factors that influence their intention towards COVID-19 vaccination.

Methods: A standardized and self-administered questionnaire was distributed among university students allover Egypt.

Attitude towards COVID-19 vaccination among healthcare workers: a cross sectional study from Egypt.

Analogical reflection as a source for the science of life: Kant and the possibility of the biological sciences.

In contrast to the previously widespread view that Kant's work was largely in dialogue with the physical sciences, recent scholarship has highlighted Kant's interest in and contributions to the life sciences. Scholars are now investigating the extent to which Kant appealed to and incorporated insights from the life sciences and considering the ways he may have contributed to a new conception of living beings. The scholarship remains, however, divided in its interest: historians of science are concerned with the content of Kant's claims, and the ways in which they may or may not have contributed to the emerging science of life, while historians of philosophy focus on the systematic justifications for Kant's claims, e.
