Published: February 2024

Purpose: By analyzing previous research on digital literacy and the national language curriculum
of major foreign countries, we aimed to critically review Korea's media curriculum and suggest ways
to improve it.
Methods: We analyzed achievement standards related to digital literacy in the national language
curriculum of the United States, Canada, and Australia. Implications for media curriculum development
were derived by comparing the reflection pattern of digital literacy-related content in each country
with the media area of Korea's curriculum.
Results: In the U.S. language curriculum, content related to digital literacy is centered on multimodal
literacy and information literacy. In the language curriculum of Ontario, Canada, relatively much of
the content related to digital literacy is related to participatory literacy and critical literacy. The
Australian language curriculum is characterized by reflecting the digital literacy component in the
knowledge category and including digital literacy-related content in the literature area.
Conclusion: First, the implications for Korea's Korean language curriculum development include the
need to reconsider the issue of setting the media area. Second, there is a need to deal more
comprehensively with the functional elements of digital literacy. Third, there is a need to systematize
the content elements of attitude categories. Fourth, there is a need to systematize the content elements
of attitude categories.

Authors:   Center For Educational Research, Au Yun Kyung
Published: February 2024

Purpose: This study aimed to prevent the psychological burnout of counselors by focusing on
depression, Psychasthenia, Social Introversion as individual dysfunctional emotions that increase the
Job stress of counseling teachers, the effects of dysfunctional emotions on the Job stress, and verifying
the moderating effects of coping strategies.
Methods: A total of eighty-seven counselors who were engaged in counseling work in secondary
schools were observed, and the moderating effect of coping strategies was verified in the relationship
between dysfunctional emotions such as depression, compulsion, introversion, and Job stress.
Results: First, the counselors’ dysfunctional emotions did not have a significant effect on role stress,
but active and passive coping had a significant effect. In addition, interpersonal stress did not show
a significant influence on both dysfunctional emotions and active coping, but passive coping had a
positively signifi-cant effect. On the other hand, counseling job stress did not show any significant
influence on both dysfunctional emotions, active coping, and passive coping. Second, the moderating
effect of coping strategies on dysfunctional emotions and counseling job stress was verified.
Conclusion: By verifying that the counselor can reduce the level of job stress by considering the
individual's dysfunctional emotions and using coping strategies appropriately, implications were
provided to prevent burn-out of both counselors and clients.

Authors:   Center For Educational Research, Kim Ayeong
Published: February 2024

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to propose to systematize the educational content on
cross-curricular learning topics from the perspective of competency-based education, which was
important in the 2022 revised curriculum, and to reveal the significance and task it leaves behind
in moral education.
Methods: For this, it was proposed to state cross-curricular learning topics from a competency-based
education perspective to analyze the characteristics and limitations of cross-curricular learning topics
stated in the curriculum and to supplement those limitations. In addition, the three characteristics
revealed in OECD Education 2030, which is the basis of the 2022 revised curriculum competency-based
education perspective, were revealed, and concrete measures were proposed to state cross-curricular
learning topics in three aspects of competence. Finally, it was intended to reveal how cross-curricular
learning topics are related to moral education and to show the significance of moral education to
state cross-curricular learning topics from a competency-based education perspective.
Results: Cross-curricular learning topics can be stated in three aspects of competence by referring
to the competency-based statement method of the 2022 revised moral curriculum because they include
many educational content related to values and attitudes.
Conclusion: Statement of cross-curricular learning topics from a competency-based education perspective
contributes to strengthening the systematicity of the cross-curricular curriculum. In addition, since morality
is a core subject of school value and attitude education, it is required to strengthen the system of
cross-curricular learning topics, strengthen morality and subject functions, and restore learner identity.

Authors: Khairunnisa Khairunnisa , Hartati Retno , Widowati Ita
Published: February 2024

Chlorella vulgaris is a green microalga (Chlorophyta) known to produce chlorophyll pigment as its primary pigment. Chlorophyll is known for its health benefits because it helps heal wounds and prevent hemophilia and diabetes and asthma. Chlorophyll is one of the pigments targeted as a functional food source. One of the environmental parameters that can affect chlorophyll content is the presence of light. This study aims to determine the effect of differences in light intensity on the chlorophyll content of C. vulgaris. The method used in this research is experimental, conducted in the laboratory using a completely randomized design (RAL). ANOVA is the statistical analysis used to analyze the effect of light intensity on chlorophyll content in C. vulgaris. C. vulgaris was cultivated with three different light intensity treatments, namely 1500, 3000, and 4500 lux, with three repetitions each. The growth of C. vulgaris was observed for 8 x 24 hours and then harvested by centrifugation on the eighth day to obtain the wet biomass. Cultivation wet biomass was extracted using acetone PA solvent. The acetone extract of C. vulgaris was analyzed for its chlorophyll pigment content using a spectrophotometer at 645 and 663 nm absorbance. The highest content of chlorophyll-a, b, and chlorophyll produced at a light intensity of 1500 lux was 26.2, 48.5, and 74.7 µg/ml, respectively. According to the results of statistical analysis, it can be concluded that different light-intensity treatments did not show a significant effect (p>0.05) on the content of chlorophyll-a, b, and total chlorophyll in C. vulgaris.

Authors: Bhunga Yolanda Sri , Setyo Upoyo Arif , Nuriya Nuriya
Published: February 2024

Background:  The trend of diabetes cases has shifted to younger ages, starting at the age of 15 years old, due to unhealthy lifestyles. Researchers have discovered that health students also tend to have a poor lifestyle. Students are associated with emotional activity and busyness, but no research has examined the relationship between these conditions and diabetes prevention behavior. Purpose: This study examined determinant factors affecting diabetes prevention behavior in college students with diabetes mellitus risk.Methods: This study used a cross-sectional design, utilizing random sampling to gather data from 209 college students with diabetes risk. The instruments used in this study included adaptations of the Diabetes Prevention Behavior questionnaire, the modified Diabetes Management Time Questionnaire (DMTQ), the Perceived Behavioral Control, and the Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire. Data analysis encompassed One-way ANOVA, Mann-Whitney, Kruskal-Wallis, Spearman’s rank, and multiple linear regression.Results: The study found a significant relationship between diabetes management time (p=0.001) and emotional intelligence (p=0.000) with diabetes prevention behavior. Emotional intelligence emerged as the dominant influencing factor (B=0.332). Conversely, no significant relationships were observed between perceived behavior control (p=0.223), class (p=0.734), sex (p=0.231), study major (p=0.263), age (p=0.064), and diabetes mellitus risk (p=0.664) with diabetes prevention behavior.Conclusion: This study revealed a significant relationship between diabetes management time, emotional intelligence, and diabetes prevention behavior. Emotional intelligence emerged as the key factor affecting diabetes prevention behavior, highlighting the need for focused interventions to enhance emotional intelligence and improve diabetes management among college students.

Published: February 2024

Background: Vaccination against COVID-19 is pivotal in curbing the spread of the virus among school children. However, there is a dearth of studies exploring parents’ attitudes and acceptance levels regarding immunizing their children against COVID-19 in Jordan.Purpose: This study aimed to assess parents’ attitudes and key concerns toward administering COVID-19 vaccines to their school-aged children in Jordan. Additionally, it sought to identify the differences in parents’ attitudes based on socio-demographic variables.Methods: The cross-sectional and correlational study was conducted in AL-Mafraq governance within Northeastern Badia schools from March to May 2022 and involved 498 eligible parents. Stratifying the parent population based on school districts, data were conveniently collected using the Parent Attitude about Childhood Vaccines (PACV) scale. Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 17 facilitated data analysis, incorporating descriptive and inferential statistics at a significance level of 0.05, with a 5% margin of error. The independent t-test and One-Way ANOVA were employed to depict differences between studied variables.Results: The result showed that out of 600 distributed questionnaires, 498 were returned, resulting in a response rate of 83%. Findings revealed parental reluctance toward administering COVID-19 vaccination to their children. Notably, 65.9% of parents expressed concern about potential serious side effects, while 57.8% of parents harbored anxieties about vaccine safety and efficacy. Marital status emerged as a significant factor, with widowed parents exhibiting a more favorable attitude (p<0.05).Conclusion: Parents in Jordan are hesitant about COVID-19 vaccination for their school-aged children. Addressing these concerns necessitates educational campaigns through various channels, including social media and authorized TV and radio, to reassure parents about vaccine effectiveness and safety. This proactive approach is crucial to fostering broader acceptance and ensuring the success of vaccination initiatives.

Using the techniques described in a previous paper, a study has been made of the breakage of fibre-to-fibre bonds in paper sheets under tensile strain . The frequent occurrence of partial separation in the areas of bonding and the relative rarity of total breakages are of particular interest. The way in which the bonded area loss is distributed between the bonds has been examined with particular reference to the effect of drying tension and beating . Both partial and total breakages are more common in freely dried sheets than in sheets dried under tension. Possible reasons for the occurrence of partial bond breakages are discussed.

Authors: Singh Sunita , Kumar Chaurasia Pankaj , Lata Bharati Shashi , Golla Upendarrao
Published: February 2024

Essential oils (EOs) are defined as secondary metabolites of plants that are volatile in nature and synthesized by various parts of plants such as buds, trichomes, bark, leaves, flowers, twigs, etc. They are generally extracted through steam and hydro distillation processes. The chemistry of these essential oils is very complex and mainly consists of terpenes and their oxygenated derivatives. The color, aroma, volatility, lipophilicity are some of the salient features of these essential oils. Primarily, they are used for flavoring purposes, but with the advancement in science and scientific tools, many properties such as antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory were explored by the scientific community. Their role as natural food preservatives has evolved in recent years, like biofilms and nano encapsulation in the active packaging of food products. The pharmaceutical industries also look at these essential oils as one of the potent candidates in ameliorating various ailments. The significant components of many essential oils such as piperine of pepper family, eugenol, thymoquinone, curcuminoids were found to have promising therapeutic effects and provide wider research scope for pharmaceutical industries. Besides all these applications, the safety profiling of these EOs is a matter of concern. This mini-review documented the updated published data related to the various aspects related to toxicity and safety issues of EOs.

Authors: Maliborska S. , Holotiuk V. , Partykevych Y. , Rossylna O.
Published: February 2024

Background. The discovery of new markers for colorectal cancer (CRC) is of paramount importance for improving the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of this disease. CRC is the third most common cancer worldwide and the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Early detection and treatment are crucial for improving patient outcomes, but current screening methods are not foolproof. Additionally, there is a need for better prognostic markers to identify patients at high risk of recurrence or metastasis, who may benefit from more aggressive treatment. Objectives: To analyze the expression profile of miR-100, miR-125b, and miR-200b in the blood serum of CRC patients and assess its correlation with the clinicopathological factors of cancer course. Materials and Methods. Twenty blood serum samples from CRC patients were analyzed by the real-time polymerase chain reaction for miR-100, miR-125b, and miR-200b expressions. The results were normalized and then analyzed using statistical tests. Results. According to our results, miR-125b and -200b expressions correlate with T (r = –0.51 and 0.6, respectively, p < 0.05) and N (r = 0.47 and –0.52, respectively, p < 0.05). Also, miR-125b levels were 1.56 times higher and mir- 200b – 1.59 times lower in patients with metastases in the regional lymph nodes. Conclusions. Observed levels of miR-125b and -200b in correlation with tumor stage and lymph node metastasis among CRC patients demonstrate their potential clinical utility as minimally invasive biomarkers for the prognosis of cancer course. Therefore, further validation studies with larger participant cohorts are necessary.

Published: February 2024

Background. The current studies demonstrate that SARS-CoV-2 infection results in increasing complications incidence and the total risk of death in cancer patients. SARS-CoV-2 infection triggers oxidative stress representing one of the major factors of the inflammation contributing to the complicated course of the diseases including cancer. Aim. To assess the effect of hypoxia caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection on the redox status of blood in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). Materials and Methods. 10 patients with SARS-CoV-2, 11 mCRC patients with metachronous liver disease, and 14 mCRC patients with preceding SARS-CoV-2 infection were included in the study. The data on blood biochemistry (C-reactive protein, ferritin, transferrin, and free iron) were analyzed. The levels of superoxide radicals (ROS) in blood cells were determined by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) using the spin trap technique. The metalloproteinase activity was measured by polyacrylamide gel zymography with the addition of gelatin as a substrate. Results. In mCRC patients with prior SARS-CoV-2 infection, a 1.26-fold increase in ROS-generating activity of blood neutrophils was observed compared to mCRC patients with no history of SARS-CoV-2 infection. The blood content of C-reactive protein, transferrin, and free iron in mCRC patients with prior SARS-CoV-2 infection increased by 2, 6, and 1.4 times, respectively. The total activity of gelatinases in platelets and neutrophils in the blood of mCRC patients with prior SARS-CoV-2 infection was 1.4 and 1.2 times higher compared to mCRC patients with no history of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Conclusion. mCRC patients with prior COVID-19 have a higher risk of exacerbation of inflammatory reactions. SARS-CoV-2 infection results in redox dіsbalance, which may contribute to the unfavorable course of the disease.

Published: February 2024

Background. Radiation-induced dermatitis impairs the quality of life of cancer patients and may lead to the need of interrupting radiotherapy. The grade of dermatitis is subjectively assessed by the visual examination. There is an urgent need for both objective and quantitative methods for assessing the current grade of dermatitis and predicting its severity at an early stage of radiotherapy. Aim. The aim of the study was to evaluate the advantages and limitations of infrared thermography for monitoring the current level of radiation-induced dermatitis and predicting its severity by quantitative analysis of the thermal field dynamics in the irradiated zone. Materials and Methods. 30 adult patients were examined by infrared thermography during the course of 2D conventional radiotherapy for malignant tumors of various types and localizations. Our approach for quantifying the thermal field caused by dermatitis alone was applied. A statistical (correlation and ROC) analysis was performed. Results. Dermatitis of varying severity was observed in 100% of the patients studied. The dynamics in the intensity of the anomalous thermal fields in the irradiated zone correlated with the dynamics of dermatitis grades, excluding the case of a radiosensitive tumor (correlation coefficient 0.74÷0.84). It was found that the maximum toxicity (dermatitis grade ≥ 3) develops in patients who how significant hyperthermia in the area of interest (≥ 0.7 °C) at an early stage of radiotherapy. The ROC analysis demonstrated the "good quality" of the prognosis method (AUC = 0.871). Conclusions. The non-invasive and cheap infrared thermography is a suitable tool for objective quantitative monitoring the current dermatitis grade during radiotherapy as well as predicting its severity for any tumor location.

Published: February 2024

Background. The development of human breast cancer (BC) is known to be closely related to disturbances in the mammary gland microbiota. Bacteria of the genus Bifidobacterium are an important component of normal breast microbiota and exert antitumor activity. The molecular-biological mechanisms of interaction between BC cells and microbiota members remain poorly studied yet. The aim of this study was to develop and optimize an experimental model system for the co-cultivation of BC cells with Bifidobacterium animalis in vitro. Materials and Methods. Human ВС cells of the MCF-7, T47D, and MDA-MB-231 lines, as well as live and heat-inactivated bacteria of Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis (B. animalis) were used as research objects. The growth kinetics and viability of B. animalis in the presence of different ВС cell lines and without them were determined by both the turbidimetry method and seeding on an elective nutrient medium. Glucose consumption and lactate production by bifidobacteria were assessed by biochemical methods. The viability of BC cells was determined by a standard colorimetric method. Results. The growth kinetics of B. animalis in the complete DMEM nutrient medium showed standard patterns. The indicators of glucose consumption and lactate production of B. animalis confirm its physiological metabolic activity under the growth conditions. The presence of BC cells in the model system did not affect the duration of the growth phases of the B. animalis cells’ population but contributed to the increase in their counts. A significant decrease in the number of live BC cells of all studied lines was observed only after 48 h of co-cultivation with live B. animalis. To achieve similar suppression of the BC cell viability, 10—30-fold higher counts of heatinactivated bacteria were required compared to live ones. Conclusions. The optimal conditions for co-cultivation of human BC cells and living B. animalis cells in vitro have been identified.

Now, silicon-based heterostructured nanocomposites are of great interest. Despite the fact that silicon semiconductor films (crystalline, polycrystalline, amorphous) have been systematically studied for a long time, heterostructural films are new materials, the study of which began relatively recently. We will produce and investigate the properties of heterostructured Mn4Si7/Si(111), CrSi2/Si(111), and CoSi2/Si(111) thin films using infrared and ultraviolet spectroscopies. Absorption, transmission, and diffuse reflectance spectra are obtained applying FTIR spectroscopy instruments and a UV spectrophotometer. The band gap energies calculated from the transmission spectra are in the interval 0.32–1.31 eV for films deposited on the silicon substrates and in the interval 0.36–1.25 eV for the glass substrates.

OBJECTIVES

To measure associations between residential moves because of unaffordable housing costs and disruptions in access to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program; the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children; and Medicaid in a health care-based sample of families with young children.

METHODS

We used cross-sectional survey data on social safety net-eligible caregivers and children recruited into the Children’s HealthWatch study from emergency departments and primary care clinics in Baltimore and Philadelphia (2011–2019). Children’s HealthWatch measured residential moves (cost-driven and noncost-driven) in the past year and disruptions in safety net access. We used logistic regression to estimate associations between each type of move and disrupted access to social safety nets.

RESULTS

Across 9344 children, cost-driven residential moves were associated with higher odds of disrupted access to at least 1 safety net program (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program; the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children; or Medicaid; adjusted odds ratio 1.44; 95% confidence interval 1.16–1.80), as well as higher odds of disruption to each program separately. Noncost-driven moves were also associated with disruptions to at least 1 safety net program, but less strongly so (adjusted odds ratio 1.14; confidence interval 1.01–1.29; P value for comparison with cost-driven = .045).

CONCLUSIONS

Residential moves, particularly cost-driven moves, are associated with social safety net benefit disruptions. The association between these events suggests a need for action to ensure consistent safety net access among children facing cost-driven moves and vice versa (ie, access to housing supports for children with disrupted safety net access).

This article provides an overview of how student-teachers and the pedagogical practicum are conceived in the Colombian English language teaching field. The study reviewed 72 articles in three levels of analysis: extraction of corresponding knowledge, epistemic review, and concatenation of emergent insights. The analysis reveals that student-teachers are conceived as subjects with principles, values, beliefs, responsibilities, and knowledge. Meanwhile, the pedagogical practicum is an academic space, process, and experience constituted by purposes, practical knowledge, and building relationships. This literature review mainly contributes to the field as an invitation to continue revising the foundations of the pedagogical practicum and the kind of student-teachers that this space may develop.

Published: February 2024

Author verifies the thesis that changes in electoral law in Poland take into account the progress of technology. The subject of the research is the amendment of the Electoral Code of 26 January 2023 in regard to the introduced Central Register of Voters. The conducted analysis shows that the Polish legislator follows the development of technology. This deserves approval, improving the functioning of the electoral bodies, but above all making it easier for voters to participate in the elections. However, as pointed out in the article, the amendment to the Electoral Code has been done in a way that raises a number of questions that need to be kept in mind when assessing it. In addition, the changes to electoral law in the field of technology use raise a certain shortcoming from the point of view of the omission of normative changes regarding alternative voting methods, including e-voting.

The paper analyses the case of rejection of the 2021 financial statement of the political party Poland 2050 of Szymon Hołownia. This issue provides a basis for a theoretical analysis of Polish legislation in the context of the standards established by the European Convention on Human Rights and developed in the European Court of Human Rights jurisprudence. The paper considers a possible referral of a political party to the ECtHR due to national practice that may violate the Convention. The sanctions relating to irregularities in financing political parties may be considered disproportionate. The analysis used a dogmatic method of research combined with a review of the case law of the ECtHR, especially versus Turkey.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the political position and powers entrusted to election commissioners after the amendment of the Electoral Code in 2018. Election commissioners, as plenipotentiaries of the National Electoral Commission, participate in all types of elections, and their powers granted under the amendment to the Electoral Code strengthen their position as an electoral body, but also in relation to local government. The changes that have been made significantly increased the number of appointed election commissioners to 100, departed from the adopted judicial model, and gave the authority to an external body, i.e. the executive body, to decide which of the candidates and according to what criteria will be selected and then presented National Electoral Commission.

During the preparation and conduct of elections to the Bundestag, up to the determination and confirmation of the election result and the allocation of seats, electoral and administrative bodies and other institutions make a number of decisions and actions related to the elections. The procedure for verifying the correctness of the elections takes place after the elections, so it comes too late. The Federal Elections Act provides for legal remedies that can be taken before the elections, i.e. a complaint against the decision of the Federal Election Commission not to grant party status and a complaint against the decision of the State Election Commission not to admit the national list to the elections. The article is a synthetic analysis of the competence of the federal election commission in the field of applying legal measures to prevent irregularities during elections.

It seems that currently any attempt to undertake a substantive assessment of the activity of the Polish Constitutional Tribunal, especially after 2015, is doomed to the need to address the problem of the ongoing constitutional crisis in Poland. Nevertheless, the analysis of statistical data allows us to put forward the thesis that the “popularity” of the constitutional complaint as a means of protecting individual freedoms and rights – at least seemingly – has not been completely wasted even in these difficult conditions. It can be concluded that a constitutional complaint is not a commonly used instrument for the protection of an individual’s electoral rights. Nevertheless, given the constitutional problems raised in the constitutional complaints, the structure of this instrument of protection of the constitutional freedoms and rights of the individual prevents effective protection (ie. the possibility of restoring) the infringed electoral rights of the individual.

The article subjected the regulation of the participatory budget to a critical analysis as internally contradictory and controversial (including constitutional doubts). It pointed out some resulting paradoxes and discrepancies between practice and jurisprudence in fundamental issues: the eligible participants and the permissibility of using specific personal data. Because such a state of affairs is unacceptable in a democratic legal state and attempts to resolve it through interpretative means have not yielded satisfactory results, selected arguments for providing participatory budgeting with new legal framework are presented. It also highlighted some benefits that could arise from regulating the participatory budget within electoral law (as a distinct type of local referendum) and proposed in an outline some specific solutions.
Dysfunkcjonalność protestów wyborczych w Polsce w świetle standardu uczciwych wyborów

Fair elections are one of the foundations of electoral axiology in a democratic state ruled by law. Every citizen has the right to protest, and the justification of the citizen’s complaint is the public interest. An election protest is a legal measure to control the held General elections and its purpose is to protect the public interest in the electoral process. The standard of fair elections is not only a context for legal solutions strictly derived from the Constitution or the Electoral Code. The juridical architecture of electoral protests in Poland generally creates an effective mechanism to address obvious and flagrant violations of the law but remains dysfunctional from the perspective of the fair election standard. Nor does it provide an instrument to prevent a slide into electoral authoritarianism due to violations of the minimum criteria of democracy.

The subject of the foregoing considerations will be the adequacy of constitutional and political competences of the President to the investiture method of a given person assigned to act in this office. Political and legal view of this issue will comprise, in particular, reflection on the division of powers, the impact that citizens may have on the state, the analysis of relations between entitlements and elections, as well as the study of opinions in the referred scope. The aspects of the states of emergency have been omitted here. In the article uses formal-dogmatic, comparative, and historical method. The aim of limiting the President’s influence on politics is to maintain state balance. However, according to the syntactic and chronological construction of the Art. 10 sec. 2 of the Constitution, the institution of the President should be strengthened so that it would be a real organ of the „first place”.
Wybrane regulacje profrekwencyjne (propartycypacyjne) w kodeksie wyborczym z perspektywy społecznej oraz prawnokonstytucyjnej

The article analyzes selected amendments to the Electoral Code introduced by the law of January 26, 2023, which aim (according to the drafters) to increase voter turnout. Although the goal of the amendment should be considered legitimate, its implementation raises concerns. The study aims to present the regulations contained in Articles 37e-37g and to assess the doubts related to them, concerning: their procedure (e.g., the short period between the submission of the draft and the start of its consideration, or the vague justification of the proposed changes, or the lack of reference of the justification to objectified data) and their content (e.g., the legitimacy of adopting an age limit of 60 years while omitting residents of urban municipalities deprived of free transportation if in their municipality on election day public transportation does not function, or the distance between the nearest transportation stop and the polling place exceeds 1.5 km)
Instytucja Prezydenta IV Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej

The article is a presentation of concepts concerning the institution of the President of the Republic of Poland in the system of the Fourth Republic, promoted by Law and Justice and the League of Polish Families. Both groups took the position that the president should be made the most important person in the state, with influence over all areas of political life. The president would have the right to determine with the government the main directions of state policy, direct the work of the government according to his will, influence the legislative process so that it proceeds in accordance with his expectations, and control the judiciary. It was believed that this would make the head of state, coming from one party or the other, more effective in implementing the vision of the Fourth Republic.
Autonomia w ramach hierarchii konstytucyjnej
Authors:   Uniwersytet Marii Curie-Skłodowskiej w Lublinie, Szreniawski Piotr
Published: February 2024

According to the Hierarchies Rivalry Theory, a constitution contains the tops of hierarchies, understood as systems of norms. Due to their position in the constitution, such hierarchies may be called constitutional hierarchies. These hierarchies compete with one another in a dynamic – albeit long-term – process of transforming the constitution. Autonomy within the constitutional hierarchy means the existence of a specific scope of independence, in particular in the area of creating internal or local law. Such law must be consistent with the general contents of the constitution. Autonomy within the constitutional hierarchy is a combination of conflicting tendencies of subordination and independence. The first practical attempts to apply the Hierarchies Rivalry Theory to research on autonomy within the constitutional hierarchies of various countries encourage further actions in this area.
PERFORMANCE OF TWO-DIMENSIONAL PLANAR CURVED MICRONOZZLE USED FOR GAS SEPARATION
Authors: Sukesan Manu K. , Kaswan Mihir , Shine S. R.
Published: February 2024

The need for compact, fast-response, and real-time sensors for detecting toxic gases and pollutants has generated interest in mixture separation using micronozzles. The current work numerically investigates the aerodynamic separation process associated with two-dimensional planar curved micronozzles operating under vacuum exit conditions. The direct-simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) method is used to simulate gas mixtures with various compositions and inlet mole fractions. The effect of the curvature of the geometry, differential wall heating, and back pressure effects are also analyzed. Available experimental data of curved and converging-diverging micronozzles are used for validating the methodology. Among the different mixtures studied, the N2 + SF6 mixture showed the highest separation at the exit. The separation effect is inversely proportional to the inlet heavier species mole fraction. While the velocity slip increases as the fluid progresses through the nozzle, the highest inlet mole fraction exhibits the smallest rise in velocity slip. This creates a decrease in the separation effect as the inlet mole fraction of the heavier species increases. The separation in the device is increased with an increase in wall radius. The increase in wall temperature enhanced species separation by increasing the velocity slip between the species. Results with differential wall heating indicate the presence of thermal diffusion, though insignificant in the present case. Linear nozzles with extended divergent lengths exhibited superior separation performance compared to curved nozzles.

At present, environmental education and the upbringing of schoolchildren and university students remains one of the most important issues of the day. In this regard, acquaintance with the scientific research of different countries showed that there are certain activities in the field of Chemical and Environmental Education in schools. For example, the program of the "environmentalism" Chemistry Course, developed in Russia and in the Kyrgyz Republic, provides an ecological approach to the study of Chemistry ainall types of schools. The need to introduce the twelve principles of Green Chemistry presented in the book "Green Chemistry: Theory and Practice" was explained by interpreting the several questions. This paper emphasizes that Chemistry Teachers need to not only teach the subject but also to improve their environmental knowledge and skills in addition to their chemical knowledge. Keywords: Environmental Education and Training, Environmental Problems / Issues, Environmental Chemistry Course, "Green Chemistry", Goals and Principles of the Green Chemistry.
