Authors: Silva Larissa da Luz , Ribon Adriana Aparecida , Backes Clarice
Published: September 2023

O manejo produtivo de pastagem, pode acarretar modificações relacionadas ao estoque de carbono, deste modo, dependendo do manejo adotado pode aumentar ou diminuir o carbono acumulado. A matéria orgânica do solo é um atributo do solo que pode indicar sua qualidade. Objetivou-se realizar revisão sistemática com meta-análise, para entender as relações entre os manejos (integração lavoura-pecuária-floresta - ILPF, integração lavoura-pecuária - ILP, e sistema convencional de produção de pastagem), e os atributos, matéria orgânica do solo, estoque de carbono e carbono orgânico total. A meta-análise, evidenciou, para a variável matéria orgânica do solo no agrupamento dos sistemas de manejo, que o sistema convencional de produção de pastagem esteve próximo ao sistema referência floresta. Contudo, para as variáveis estoque de carbono no solo e carbono orgânico total, o sistema de ILP apresentou maior média, quando comparado aos demais sistemas observados.
Use of Loss of Righting Reflex to Assess Susceptibility to Carbon Dioxide Gas in Three Mouse Strains
Authors: Munro Brittany A , Merenick Dexter R , Gee Julia M , Pang Daniel SJ
Published: September 2023

Exposure to CO2 gas is a common rodent euthanasia method. CO2 activates nociceptors in rats and is painful to humans at concentrations equal to or greater than 32.5% The concentration of CO2 at which rodents become unconsciousness is inadequately defined.
We used loss of righting reflex (LORR) to identify the concentration at which CO2 caused loss of consciousness in C57Bl/6, CD1 and 129P3J mice (16 females and 16 males per strain). We used a custom built, rotating, motorized cylinder to determine LORR as CO2 concentrations
were increased. Two LORR assessment methods were used: 1) a 1-Paw assessment in which the righting reflex was considered to be present if one or more paws contacted the cylinder after rotation into dorsal recumbency and 2) a 4-Paw assessment in which the righting reflex was considered to be
present only if all 4 paws contacted the cylinder. LORR test data were analyzed with Probit regression and dose response curves were plotted. 1-Paw EC95 values (CO2 concentration at which LORR occurred for 95% of the population) were: C57Bl/6; 30.7%, CD1; 26.2%, 129P3J;
20.1%. The EC95 for C57Bl/6 was significantly higher than that of the 129P3J mice, with no significant differences between other strains. Four-Paw EC95 values were: C57Bl/6; 22.8%, CD1; 25.3%, 129P3J; 20.1%. Values for 129P3J mice were significantly lower than those of
CD1 mice), with no significant difference between other strains. The EC95 varied significantly between 1-Paw and 4-Paw methods only for C57Bl/6 mice. These results suggest a potential for nociception and pain to occur in some individuals of some mouse strains during CO2
euthanasia.
Reflection of the professional attitudes of a linguistic personality in the image of a firefighter in the children’s tale “The Cheerful Firefighter” by I. V. Zartayskaya
Authors: Bondarenko Elena Nikolaevna
Published: September 2023

The paper considers the professional attitudes of a firefighter’s linguistic personality using the example of the image of a firefighter in the children’s tale “The Cheerful Firefighter” by I. V. Zartayskaya. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the fact that professional attitudes in the structure of a firefighter’s linguistic personality have not been examined before: the paper is the first to discover that the linguistic model of a firefighter realises itself in stereotypes associated with the notions of “seriousness” and “bravery” and to outline the features of a professional’s speech activity corresponding to these categories. At the same time, a literary text was used for the study, while the linguistic personality of a firefighter was investigated previously only within the framework of business communication. Hence, the paper aims to identify the professional attitudes of a firefighter in speech interaction. As a result, the examination of a firefighter’s image in I. V. Zartayskaya’s children’s tale “The Cheerful Firefighter” led to the discovery of professional attitudes associated with the notions of “seriousness” and “bravery”, which exclude speech behaviour in the form of teasing, performing humourous songs, joking, smiling, etc., as well as imply the use of speech means and techniques that determine the successful resolution of an extreme situation, e.g., empathic listening, contact-establishing dialogue, calm tone of voice, etc. Thus, the speech characteristics of the protagonist presented in the work reflect the professional attitudes of a firefighter’s linguistic personality correlating with the categories of “seriousness” (the speech behaviour of a “person in uniform” does not allow for the expression of entertainment, comedy and demonstration of wit, since the SERIOUSNESS concept denotes a moral criterion the measure of which is a sense of proportion and the absence of any playful forms of speech behaviour) and “bravery” (the speech activity of a firefighter is determined by the ability to correctly interpret information and resolve conflicts in an emergency situation, use speech support tactics, as well as voice skills and clear sound pronunciation).

The paper focuses on the determinants of MICE tourism recovery post the COVID-19 pandemic. Using the case of South Africa, empirical data were collected by way of in-depth interviews with 19 key stakeholders in the MICE sector. The study findings reveal five key determinants of the recovery, (1) change in focus of geographical markets, (2) varied recovery of the different economic industries, (3) limited airline access and connectivity, (4) destination image and (5) level of confidence of MICE attendees to travel. The paper’s theoretical significance lies in its timely contribution to studies on MICE tourism recovery and resilience, focusing on the developing nations' context. Further, the findings of the study, which delineate the recovery process of MICE events post-COVID-19 provide insights into building a resilient MICE sector.

Objective — to investigate the relationship between the level of NSE, S100 and E-selectin biomarkers with the complicated course and symptoms of the nervous system in children with COVID-19.
Materials and methods. We conducted a pilot, cohort, observational, retrospective study involving 88 children aged 1 month to 18 years with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 by the PCR method, who underwent inpatient treatment at the Kyiv City Children’s Clinical Infectious Disease Hospital in 2021—2022. During the first day of hospital stay, blood serum was collected from patients and the level of NSE, S100 and E-selectin biomarkers was determined by enzyme immunoassay.
Results and discussion. A complicated course was observed in 42 (47.7 %) patients. Symptoms from the nervous system were noted in 46 (52 %) patients. In patients with an uncomplicated course, the average level of NSE on the first day of inpatient treatment was (12.1 ± 1.2) μg/l, S100 — (164 ± 8.2) ng/l, E-selectin (12.02 ± 1.7) ng/ml. In patients with a complicated course, the average levels of biomarkers were, respectively: (16.9 ± 1.5) μg/L, (165.9 ± 6.9) ng/L, and (15.04 ± 1.9) ng/mL. An increase in the level of NSE above 15 μg/L and E-selectin above 25 ng/ml was associated with a significant increase in the risk of clinical symptoms from the nervous system and a complicated course in children with COVID-19 (p < 0.05). The value of the S100 index above 150 ng/l was associated with an increased risk of clinical symptoms of nervous system damage (p < 0.05) and a tendency to complications (p < 0.1). The level of all biomarkers was also associated with an increase in the duration of inpatient treatment.
Conclusions. Complicated course and onset of nervous system symptoms in children hospitalized with COVID-19 are associated with increased levels of the biomarkers NSE, S100, and E-selectin. Determina­tion of these biomarkers can be used in diagnostics to predict the course and severity of the disease in children undergoing inpatient treatment for COVID-19.

Systemic connective tissue diseases (SCDs) are a group of diseases caused by inadequate autoimmune or immune complex reactions, manifested by damage to various organs and systems.
Objective — to present our own experience and to propose an algorithm for the diagnosis of CTDs.
Materials and methods. We carried out a clinical analysis of 55 newly diagnosed cases of CTDs in patients who were treated at the Department of Thoracic Surgery and Invasive Diagnostic Methods, from 2010 to 2023. For the purpose of histological verification of the diagnosis, 57 invasive interventions were performed on 55 patients, — 55 video thoracoscopic (VATS) and 2 endobronchial (EVUS) biopsies.
Results and discussion. lesions of the cardiovascular system occurred in 30 (54.5%) patients, kidneys — in 26 patients (47.3 %), edematous syndrome — in 31 (56.4 %) patients, hyperthermia — in 22 (40.0 %), anemia — in 23 (41.8 %), increased erythrocyte sedimentation rate — in 34 (61.8 %) cases. As a result of 57 invasive interventions, 79 biopsies of various tissues were obtained: 41 (51.9 %) of the pleura, 25 (31.6 %) of the lung, 11 (13.9 %) of the pericardium, 2 (2.5 %) of the intrathoracic lymph nodes. An algorithm for the diagnosis of SCDs is proposed.
Conclusions. Newly diagnosed patients with combined damage to the respiratory, cardiovascular and kidney systems without a history of chronic damage to any of them should be considered as a risk group for further diagnosis of SCDs. The use of VATS biopsies of affected tissues should be the standard of investigation along with immunological confirmation for establishing the type of SCDs. Identification of the type of SCDs should be carried out taking into account clinical manifestations based on the results of pathomorphological examination and serological verification of the diagnosis by specialized specialists.

Authors: Guendulain Corina , Tamiozzo Pablo , González Griselda , Caffaratti Marina
Published: September 2023

Helicobacter es un género bacteriano gram negativo que coloniza el estómago de humanos y perros, entre otros mamíferos. En la mucosa gástrica del hombre la especie más frecuentemente hallada es H. pylori, sin embargo, puede albergar otras especies, como H. suis, H. bizzozeronii, H. felis, H. salomonis y H. heilmannii sensu stricto, denominadas Helicobacter no H. pylori (NHPH), algunas de las cuales colonizan también el estómago del perro. La detección de especies NHPH en la mucosa del estómago de seres humanos con enfermedad gástrica y en un alto porcentaje de perros como mascotas, sugiere la posibilidad de que estos animales jueguen un rol importante en la patogenia y transmisión de la infección al hombre, postulándose la vía de transmisión oral-oral o bien fecal-oral. El objetivo de este trabajo fue determinar si individuos con signos de gastritis crónica que tienen Helicobacter spp. y que poseen perros como mascotas, comparten con ellos las mismas especies. Para ello se estudió por PCR la presencia de Helicobacter spp. en muestras gástricas de 30 pacientes con signos clínicos de gastritis crónica y diagnóstico histopatológico de infección gástrica con Helicobacter spp. También se estudió la presencia de estas bacterias en sus perros para determinar si existe correspondencia en las especies presentes en ambos. La única especie encontrada en humanos fue H. pylori, mientras que en los perros se encontraron H. bizzozeronii, H. felis, H. salomonis y H. heilmannii. En este trabajo no se encontraron las mismas especies en los perros y en sus propietarios.

On the Theory of Self-Structure I: The Nature of Narcissism
Authors: Zhong Jie
Published: September 2023

The self-structure is the organization of self that has the codes to construct the contencts of the self, which have the cognitive, emotional, and meta-psychologial parts of self representations. Although psychoanalysis's contribution to this domain has made remarkable achievements, due to the particularity and difficulty of research methods, the research on self-structure has been moved slowly. The lacking of a systematic and completed understanding of narcissism, which is the “phenotype” of the self-structure, is the most important reason. Up to now, we still have many questions and confusions about the nature of narcissism. By combing the relevant works and ideas of the sages in the field of psychoanalysis, especially the theoretical views of Freud, Kenberg and Kohut, this paper introduces a new concept, the “need for self space”, into the theoretical research field of narcissistic development and self-structure, and proposes a new definition of "narcissism". Thus, the properties of the self are not only determined by the self-cathaxis of libido and its "volume"---space need of self, but more importantly by its "density", the amount of libido invested into the space of self. Within this hypothesis, the new definition of narcissism could be, logically, as the “density” of the libido invested into self, which is determined by both the self-cathexis (the “Weight” of the libido invested into self) and the self-space need (the “Volume” of self-development). Introducing the concepts of "self-space need" and "self-density"（density of the libido invested into self）into this field helps us to further understand the structure of the self and have the opportunity to explore the multidimensional space of personality.
Teaching coding inclusively: if this, then what?
Authors: Guest Olivia , Forbes Samuel H.
Published: September 2023

We present our stance on teaching programming with the aim of increasing reflexivity amongst university educators through dissecting and destroying pervasive anti-pedagogical gendered framings. From the so-called male geek trope that dominates Global North/Western perceptions of technology to the actively anti-feminist stances such demographics espouse: programming has a sexism problem. Herein, we touch on how and why programming is so gendered in the present; we expound on how we manage this in our classrooms and in our mentorship relationships; and we explain how to keep doing so moving forwards. Through weaving examples of programming into the text, it is demonstrated that basic coding concepts can be conveyed with little effort. Additionally, example dialogues — exchanges between teachers and students and between educators — are worked through to counteract inappropriate or harmful framings. Finally, we list some ground rules, concrete dos and don'ts, for us to consider going forwards. Ultimately, as educators, we have a two-fold obligation, for our students to a) learn programming, and for them to b) unlearn problematic perceptions of who can code.
The Problem of Domestic Work at the International Labour Organization
Authors: Chee Liberty
Published: September 2023

This paper examines the processes of attempting to set standards for one of the largest labour sectors in the world that employs women. It demonstrates how “domestic work” came to be understood as a problem that demanded responses and solutions in the context of the International Labour Organization. It does so through the lenses of problematization, a mode of analysis that makes it possible for something to become an object of thought. While the emerging literature on problematization in IR illustrates how these processes may be contingent, or a result of outright power struggles, this paper rather demonstrates how problematization may be characterised as one of iteration. It shows the repetition and progression in thinking about the problem of domestic work, the changes in solutions offered, and the conceptual and theoretical innovations to understand elements of domestic work. Through the iterative actions of various actors, which eventually included domestic workers themselves, the phenomenon of domestic work increased in comprehensibility and tractability, from a “non-problem” to a problem of the global economy.
Multifaceted disparities associated with translator earnings: A quantitative study of Upwork profiles
Authors: Horan Tyler
Published: September 2023

This study aims to quantitatively explore the multifaceted determinants that influence earnings in the translation industry. Using a dataset comprising 45,000 translator profiles, the study focuses on delineating disparities correlated with demographic variables such as age, gender, home country wealth, and language pairs. The study uses a sophisticated Random Forest regression model to delineate the complex interaction between gender, the economic standing of a translator's domicile country, age, and linguistic proficiency, as they relate to earnings. Our findings substantiate and, in many ways, extend existing qualitative and anecdotal evidence that has shaped the discourse in this sector. The rigorous empirical framework employed here can be replicated or adapted to study other sectors within the gig economy, thus contributing to a more comprehensive understanding of labour dynamics in the digital age.
Do Parents' Socioeconomic Resources Moderate the Association between Genotype and Cognitive Skills among Children with Diverse Genetic Ancestries?
Authors: Breinholt Asta , Ware Erin , Fomby Paula , Notterman Daniel , Schneper Lisa , Mitchell Colter
Published: September 2023

Recent research shows that high parental socioeconomic status does not convey the same skill advantage to Black and Latinx children as to white children in the U.S. due to disadvantages at school for racialized minorities. We extend this literature by asking whether socioeconomic status moderates the association between child genotype and cognitive skills among racialized minorities in the U.S. Hence, what we study is whether high socioeconomic status conveys an equal advantage when it comes to the relationship between genotype and cognitive skills. We use data from the Future of Families and Child Wellbeing Study. Using molecular genetic data, we construct a polygenic index for educational attainment and test whether the association between this index and children’s cognitive skills is moderated by maternal education and household income in two principal component defined ancestry groups: African ancestries (n=1,551) and Latinx ancestries (n=890). The polygenic index for educational attainment is positively associated with cognitive skills in both groups. In the African ancestries group, this association does not differ by socioeconomic status. In the Latinx ancestries group, the results are mixed. Overall, the results support the notion that high socioeconomic status does not convey a skill advantage in terms of strengthening or weakening the link between genotype and cognitive skills among racialized minorities.
CONFUCIAN PARENTALISM AND THE LATE QING’S MODERNIZATION DILEMMA: AN ANALYSIS THROUGH THE CASES OF LI HONGZHANG AND YUNG WING
Authors: Zhou Yifan
Published: September 2023

While the overall failure of modernization during the late Qing is commonly ascribed to the imperial regime’s venality and foreign encroachment2, this paper contends that Confucian Parentalism was the major fundamental factor that impeded China’s capacity to modernize socio-politically and technologically by creating a rigid and narrow-minded worldview that repelled Western influence and innovation. This paper examines how Confucian Parentalism, a socio-political “deep structure” that accentuated hierarchy, loyalty, obedience, harmony, stability, and continuity, molded China’s identity and destiny in the late Qing era. It analyzes three events from the lives of Li Hongzhang and Yung Wing, two influential figures who endeavored to reform China from different standpoints: Li as a conservative Confucian official who sought to modernize China within the confines of Confucian Parentalism, and Yung as a progressive Western-educated reformer who strove to westernize China by contesting Confucian Parentalism. It then compares China’s modernization attempt with Japan’s and proposes feasible reforms that can facilitate China to true sociopolitical modernization. It concludes that the Confucian Parentalism deep structure is hard to change and takes a gradual, natural process to evolve.

Published: September 2023

This study investigates the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the stock market in Nepal. While prior research has shown the significant impact of catastrophic events on stock market volatility, there is a lack of research specifically examining the Nepalese context. The study aims to explore the effects of the pandemic on stock market performance and volatility, with a focus on the government's response to the situation. Descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and hypothesis testing are used to analyze the data and assess stock market volatility, return, and overall performance. The findings suggest that the short-term impact of the COVID-19 outbreak and government policy measures had a significant and adverse effect on stock market volatility, return, and overall performance. This study contributes to the understanding of the Nepalese stock market dynamics during the COVID-19 pandemic and provides insights for investors and policymakers.
The case for change: Reimagining research to transform military culture
Authors: Davis Karen D. , Eichler Maya
Published: September 2023

LAY SUMMARY

The research community is encouraged to think about how their work contributes to military culture and how it can contribute to positive change. This article discusses the importance of meaningful inclusion by making stakeholder communities part of the research process: from thinking about the research questions that need to be asked to how research results can be shared and used across academic, government, and community sectors. It is critical to apply best practices that support meaningfully inclusive research, such as Sex and Gender Equity in Research guidelines and Gender-based Analysis Plus. It is also important that the defence research community establish quality assurance in following best practices to positively contribute to military culture change. Other ways in which research can be reimagined to transform military culture include critical methodologies and the co-production of research with affected communities.
Effect of Peanut Skin Extracts on the Shelf Life of Unstabilized Peanut Butter
Authors: Mohebpour D.A. , Dean L.L. , Harding R.O. , Hendrix K.W.
Published: September 2023

Peanut butter is a desirable product made from roasted peanuts that is susceptible to lipid oxidation during its shelf life. The process of lipid oxidation produces rancid aromas and flavors in peanut butter that have previously been found to be undesirable to consumers. Peanut skins, the paper-like coatings that surround peanut kernels, are a waste product of peanut processing that have been shown to contain phenolic compounds that could act as antioxidants which are able to inhibit lipid oxidation. Addition of peanut skin extracts to fresh peanut paste was evaluated for their effectiveness to retard oxidation of the lipids present. Extraction of the phenolic compounds and encapsulation with maltodextrin produced a free-flowing powder that was blended into freshly ground peanuts. The paste was packed into glass jars and incubated at 30 C and 26 % relative humidity. Control samples of peanut paste without the addition of the peanut skins extract ingredient were prepared using both blanched and unblanched peanuts from the same batch where the skins were removed after roasting. Samples were evaluated biweekly over a 24-week period for free fatty acids, peroxide value, hexanal production and with descriptive sensory analysis to determine the progression of lipid oxidation. Free fatty acids were elevated by the addition of the extracts, but the peroxide values decreased over the test period. Hexanal production was not affected. Descriptive sensory analysis showed a decrease in roast peanut flavor over time regardless of the addition. The addition of the peanut skin extracts also resulted in distinct flavors that were not considered positive attributes for peanut butter. In this study, peanut skin extracts did not function as effective antioxidant ingredients for unstabilized peanut butter.
Respect for elders as a tradition of upbringing in a modern Khakass family
Authors: Sultanbaeva Klavdiya Ivanovna
Published: September 2023

The article discusses the results of an empirical study of the tradition of raising respect for elders in children of six or seven years old in a modern Khakass family. The relevance of the study is due to the need to familiarize the younger generations with the traditional values of the people and the formation of the spiritual and moral culture of the child's personality. The purpose of the study is to study the traditions of upbringing in the Khakass family, namely, a respectful attitude towards elders. One of the tasks of the work was the study of the moral ideas of children of senior preschool age. The study was conducted in the kindergarten “Kalinka” in Abakan on the basis of empirical methods and the research methodology “Subject Pictures”. The modern Khakass family is influenced by transformational processes and partially preserves ethno-cultural traditions. The tradition of respect for elders and adults is recognized by respondents as significant in the moral education of children, but is not considered as an independent cultural value. In the modern Khakass family, the described tradition in the moral education of children is partially preserved. In the moral ideas of older preschoolers, holistic reasoning about good and bad, good and evil prevails, there is an idea of helping elders, but the understanding of the concept of “respect for elders” is still poorly formed.

Authors: Shen Mengqi , Modina Galina Ivanovna
Published: September 2023

The article is devoted to the reception of one of the most famous plays of A. N. Ostrovsky in China – “Without a Dowry”. The play belongs to the late period of the playwright's work and is characterised by a complex genre. In Russian literary studies it is considered as a socio-psychological drama with a bright lyrical beginning. The aim of the article is to give an idea of the translation, literary and literary perception of the play in China. The author of four versions of the play's translation into Chinese, Chen Bingyi, analyses the peculiarities of the play's translation. It reveals the main aspects of literary research on the play in China and examines the particular understanding of “Without a Dowry” by the playwright and translator Chen Baichen. By comparing the plots of A.N. Ostrovsky's drama and Chen Baichen’s drama “Love on a Steep Cliff”, the article highlights the influence of the character Katerina from the famous play “The Storm” on the interpretation of the female protagonist and the genre characteristics of “Without a Dowry”. The analysis demonstrates that Chinese translators, literary critics, and playwrights collectively perceive this psychological drama by Ostrovsky as a social drama within the historical and cultural context of 1940s China.

Published: September 2023

This study explores the relationship between digital addiction and online learning readiness levels of the university students. For this, the predictive correlation research model was used. The sample of the study consisted of 856 university students studying at three different universities in Türkiye. The “Digital Addiction Scale” and the “Online Learning Readiness Scale” were used as data collection tools. The data collection process of the study lasted approximately one month. In the study, besides descriptive statistics such as mean, standard deviation, minimum and maximum, independent sample T-test, Pearson correlation analysis and simple linear regression analysis were used. It was concluded that university students’ digital addiction (DA) levels were at moderate level, and online learning readiness (OLR) levels were at high level. It was determined that DA levels of male students were higher than female students. It was also revealed that OLR levels of the students differed significantly according to gender variable. The findings also indicated that there was a negative, low-level significant relationship between the students’ DA and OLR levels. Additionally, the students’ DA level was found to explain 2.3% of the variance in their OLR.
An examination of digitalized self-directed language learning practices of tertiary level EFL learners in Türkiye
Authors: KİMSESİZ Fatma
Published: September 2023

Research on self-directed learning practices has ascertained various potential benefits of learner achievement. As mobile technology offers highly practical and portable usage for self-directed learning, studies on language learning practices through technology-based applications have become prevalent among adult learners. This study aimed to examine learners’ digitalized self-directed language learning practices for enhancing their English language skills at the tertiary level. The study employed a mixed method design, and the data were collected from 182 EFL learners at a higher education institution in Türkiye. The data were analysed through descriptive statistics and content analyses. The results demonstrated that the majority of the participants use mobile phones besides computers and tablets. However, their level of frequency in using these digital devices in English signaled a low level. Furthermore, results in association with the self-directed practices of learners for improving language skills evinced distinct language learning practices supported by technology-mediated applications and platforms. It was also concluded that learners need a well-organised self-directed learning practice in digital platforms. The study addresses key attributes of practical implications adhering to digitalized self-directed language learning practices for more efficient outcomes in advancing language skills in EFL instruction.
O przesłance zawieszenia biegu terminu przedawnienia zobowiązania podatkowego z art. 70 § 6 pkt 1 Ordynacji podatkowej. Oczekiwania i kierunek zmian
Authors: Kobylski Piotr
Published: September 2023

Należy stwierdzić, iż w literaturze można spotkać się z dość obszernymi opracowaniami dotyczą­cymi zawieszenia biegu terminu przedawnienia zobowiązania podatkowego, natomiast niniejsze zagadnienie w ujęciu projektu zniesienia przesłanki zawieszenia biegu terminu przedawnienia zobowiązania podatkowego w związku z wszczęciem postępowania w sprawie o przestępstwo skarbowe lub wykroczenie skarbowe stwa­rza zupełnie nową perspektywę. Praca będzie dowodzić, iż w istocie niezasadne jest utrzymywanie w konstruk­cji przedawnienia przesłanki zawieszenia biegu jego terminu, o której mowa w art. 70 § 6 pkt 1 Ordynacji po­datkowej. W związku z powyższym celem artykułu będzie ocena na tle obowiązujących przepisów prawnych, jakie są kierunki zmian analizowanej instytucji. Przedstawiona problematyka pociąga za sobą nieuchronność analizy zagadnień prawnych z tego zakresu pod kątem charakteru zmian, ale również problemów praktycznych z tym związanych.
Prawo gospodarcze publiczne a normy i wartości prywatnoprawne. Uwagi na kanwie obserwowanej „prywatyzacji” prawa publicznego
Authors: Klich Grzegorz
Published: September 2023

Prawo gospodarcze publiczne to gałąź prawa normująca oddziaływanie państwa i jego organów na procesy gospodarcze. Przyjęło się, że jest to element szerszej, kompleksowej dyscypliny – prawa gospo-darczego. W ostatnim czasie coraz częściej daje się zaobserwować posługiwanie się przez prawodawcę prywat­noprawną metodą regulacji także w ramach unormowań tradycyjnie zaliczanych do prawa gospodarczego pub­licznego. Tego typu praktyka może jednak prowadzić do pewnych komplikacji, w tym również w odniesieniu do wewnętrznej spójności omawianej dyscypliny na płaszczyźnie aksjologicznej.
Commercial operations of municipalities in housing development . On the conflict between self-reliance and serving people and sufficiency of law
Authors: Tyrawa Dominik
Published: September 2023

This article deals with the relationship between three specific problems. These problems include legal issues related to running a business by municipalities, activities of municipalities in housing construction and municipal housing programmes (MHPs) as a manifestation of the legal and organizational independence of municipalities. In order to obtain reliable results of research in this area, the author decided to analyse the applicable standards and regulations regarding these issues and the views of the doctrine. In both cases, he observed that there are no detailed legal regulations relating to this issue, and thus there is also no in-depth analysis of this problem in the doctrine of legal sciences. All this resulted in the formulation of two types of conclusions. The existing regulations were assessed with the indication of their significant shortcomings. More­over, conclusions were formulated regarding changes that the legislator should introduce to the Polish legal system to aid municipalities in meeting the housing needs of local communities. This work uses the method of analysing the legal text and, to a limited extent, the dogmatic approach.

Published: September 2023

У статті вирішено задачу вибору одного з трьох інноваційно-інвестиційних проєктів на ПП «Ліфт Стандарт» з дослідження й експериментальних розробок у сфері технічних наук та обслуговування устаткування промислового призначення згідно області знань «Управління вмістом (масштабом) проєкту». Експерти встановили, що при виборі проєкту необхідним є врахування таких критеріїв та субкритеріїв: цілі (інноваційність; відповідність цілям підприємства; збільшення частки ринку; екологічний аспект); охоплення (потенційні клієнти; потенційні конкуренти; потенційні партнери; ринкові умови); можливості (терміни реалізації; вартість проєкту; наявність ресурсів; можливість формування команди проєкту); обмеження (технологічні труднощі; організаційні труднощі; фінансові труднощі; виробничі труднощі); результати (ймовірність успішної реалізації; прогнозований прибуток; вплив на операційну діяльність підприємства; перспективи розвитку). Результатом практичного застосування методу аналізу ієрархії для обрання одного з трьох проєктів із вказаними характеристиками є розрахунок комплексного показника для кожного з проектів, найбільший з них свідчить, що за даних умов при врахування даних критеріїв та думок експертів, слід обрати саме його. Комплексний показник із врахуванням локальних пріоритетів дав наступний результат: Проєкт 1 – 0,385; Проєкт 2 – 0,383; Проєкт 3 – 0,231. Тому найраціональнішим буде вибір підприємством саме проєкту 1 для реалізації. Застосування методу аналізу ієрархії дозволило надати рекомендації для прийняття ефективного обґрунтованого управлінського рішення.
