Fractured implicitness. Why implicit populism matters?: An International Journal of Pure Communication Inquiry

This paper aims to refine a theoretical and methodological approach in social sciences, namely implicit populism. To achieve this goal, the study aims to connect implicit populism and its counterpart, explicit populism to a specific research approach, namely the political communication style and introduce their contributions to the literature. Additionally, the paper introduces implicit populism's possible effects on content analyses to demonstrate its methodological potential. Finally, the study attempts to provide an aspect by which the antagonist part of implicit populism can be subcategorized. Therefore, new subdimension of antagonism might emerge in populism studies. The first focuses on the articulated enemy by employing, for instance, the signifier of 'dangerous people.' The second aims to explore the more sophisticated populist political style embedding the 'culprit others' in a concealed way. Consequently, expressions such as 'danger,' 'threat,' 'anger,' and 'hatred' are also parts of antagonism representing a universal and unarticulated problem that harmfully affects people.

Hepatitis C Screening and Treatment Program in Hungarian Prisons in the Era of Direct Acting Antiviral Agents.

A hepatitis C virus (HCV) screening and treatment program was conducted in Hungarian prisons on a voluntary basis. After HCV-RNA testing and genotyping for anti-HCV positives, treatments with direct-acting antiviral agents were commenced by hepatologists who visited the institutions monthly. Patients were supervised by the prisons' medical staff. Data were retrospectively collected from the Hungarian Hepatitis Treatment Registry, from the Health Registry of Prisons, and from participating hepatologists. Eighty-four percent of Hungarian prisons participated, meaning a total of 5779 individuals (28% of the inmate population) underwent screening. HCV-RNA positivity was confirmed in 317/5779 cases (5.49%); 261/317 (82.3%) started treatment. Ninety-nine percent of them admitted previous intravenous drug use. So far, 220 patients received full treatment and 41 patients are still on treatment. Based on the available end of treatment (EOT) + 24 weeks timepoint data, per protocol sustained virologic response rate was 96.8%. In conclusion, the Hungarian prison screening and treatment program, with the active participation of hepatologists and the prisons' medical staff, is a well-functioning model. Through the Hungarian experience, we emphasize that the "test-and-treat" principle is feasible and effective at micro-eliminating HCV in prisons, where infection rate, as well as history of intravenous drug usage, are high.

A büntetés-végrehajtási szervezet védekezése a koronavírussal szemben

A büntetés-végrehajtási szervezet a fogvatartottak és a személyi állomány egészségének és életének biztonsága érdekében, gyorsan reagálva, saját helyzetét értékelve alakította ki védekezési rendszerét. A szakmai döntéshozók, a társadalom pozitív értékítélete a parancsnoki és a személyi állomány számára visszaigazolta az elmúlt időszak során a járványügyi helyzetben tanúsított törvényes, szakszerű és elkötelezett feladatellátás eredményeit. A koronavírus-járvány elleni védekezés egyik legfontosabb tanulsága, hogy addig, amíg nincs igazoltan hatásos vakcina, a felelősségteljes viselkedés, ezzel összefüggésben pedig a javasolt, megelőzést célzó intézkedések betartása a legjobb védekezési eszközünkAlternate abstract: The Hungarian Prison Service has developed in a fast response to the situation a special protection system for health and safety of the captives and the staff. The measurements released during the pandemic attendance served and ensured in a complex way that in Hungary no captives with coronavirus disease has been found until now. The positive value judgement of professional decision makers and of the society have proofed for commanders and staff the results of a legal and professional fulfilment of tasks. One of the most important lessons in containment of the coronavirus pandemic is that the most effective way of protection can be, until the appearance of a proofed effective vaccine, responsible attitude and connecting to that the compliance with preventive measurements.
