Universality of opinions disappearing in sociophysical models of opinion dynamics: From initial multitude of opinions to ultimate consensus.

Possibility of reaching a consensus in social systems with strong initial fragmentation is one of the most interesting issues in sociophysics. It is also intriguing what the dynamics of such processes is. To address those problems, we performed computer simulations using well-established models of social opinion formation, namely, the voter, Sznajd, and Latané models.

Incidence of bacterial and fungal infections in Polish pediatric patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia during the pandemic.

The most common complications related to the treatment of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) are infections. The aim of the study was to analyze the incidence and mortality rates among pediatric patients with ALL who were treated in 17 Polish pediatric hematology centers in 2020-2021 during the pandemic. Additionally, we compared these results with those of our previous study, which we conducted in the years 2012-2017.

Viral Infection Profile in Children Treated for Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia-Results of Nationwide Study.

Viral infections can be a serious complication of therapy in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). In this study, we focused on the incidence and the profile of viral infection in children with ALL treated in 17 pediatric oncology centers in Poland in the two-year periods of 2018-2019 and 2020-2021. We also compared the frequency of viral infections in 2018-2019 to that in 2020-2021.
