Authors: Dong Kaixuan , Chen Xi , Zhou Rong , Yu Xiaoyong
Published: September 2022

Objective: To investigate the occurrence and influencing factors of fatigue and sleep disturbance in Maintenance Hemodialysis (MHD) patients. Methods: A total of 170 patients with end-stage renal disease who underwent MHD treatment in the hemodialysis room of Shaanxi Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from October 2021 to March 2022 were selected as the research subjects. The basic information and laboratory indicators of the patients were collected by cross-sectional survey. The survey methods were evaluated by the revised Piper Fatigue Scale and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Rating Scale and the incidence and influencing factors of fatigue and sleep disturbance in MHD patients were analyzed. Results: Fatigue occurred in 135 cases, the incidence rate was 79.41%; sleep disturbance occurred in 124 cases and the incidence rate was 72.94%. After one-way analysis of variance, factors such as exercise, Albumin (ALB, serum Creatinine(CRE), Phosphorus(P) and Hemoglobin(HGB) in MHD patients can affect fatigue; while age, gender, exercise, primary disease, dialysis frequency, Phosphorus(P), Hemoglobin(HGB) and high-sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hs-CRP) factors can affect sleep. A multiple linear regression model was constructed for the factors affecting fatigue (F = 81.110, p < 0.001), and it showed that 70.3% of fatigue (adjusted R2 = 0.703) was related to albumin (ALB), serum creatinine(CRE), and hemoglobin(HGB) (all p < 0.05); A multiple linear regression model was constructed based on the factors of 58% (F = 26.933, p < 0.001), which showed that 58% of sleep disorders (adjusted R2 = 0.580) were significantly related to age, gender, exercise or not, phosphorus(P), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein(hs-CRP) (all p < 0.05) related. Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze sleep disturbance and fatigue in MHD patients and the results showed that there was a positive correlation between the two (r = 0.478, p < 0.001). Conclusion: The proportion of fatigue and sleep disturbance in MHD patients is relatively high, mainly mild to moderate and the two influence each other. Exercise intervention and nutritional support can effectively improve the occurrence of fatigue and sleep disturbance in MHD patients.

Nonidentity Problem of Climate Change and Justice between Generation
Authors:   Research Institute For Life And Culture Sogang University, Choi Seohyeong
Published: September 2022

The issue of climate change is one of the most serious problems facing mankind at the moment. Climate change can be considered as a kind of injustice because future generations will have to suffer unilateral damage from climate change. The most problematic thing of establishing the theory of justice between generations of climate change is the nonidentity problem. Therefore, justice between generations for climate change must first be able to solve the nonidentity problem. This study examines several ethical theories that can be a solution to the nonidentity problem, and examines if they can act as an justice between generations of climate change. As a result, I concluded that the theory of justice based on John Rolls' just savings principle is the most valid.
Distribution of Silla Pottery with Gyeongju Style and Transportation Network
Authors:   Korean Ancient Historical Society, Ko SangHyuk
Published: September 2022

This article started with the question of how to interpret the sub-regional style that it belongs to the earthenware culture on the east side of the Nakdong River as the product of the Silla political system. Although various interpretations are possible, the study was conducted focusing on the transportation aspect. Transportation is a factor that integrates cultures, but it is also a cause of heterogeneous cultures.
As a research subject, Gyeongju-style mounted cup with double-openwork(二段透窓高杯) was selected as the typical model of the southern grave of Hwangnam grand tomb(皇南大 塚南墳). It was judged to be useful for examining the transportation network. Because it is the most widely identified within the sub-regional style. First, among the various forms in the southern grave of Hwangnam grand tomb, the unique properties that distinguish them from the surrounding sub-regional style were extracted, and their distribution range was examined. This range was compared with the distribution ranges of the iron sword with curve(曲刃鐵器), the ceremonial ornament with bird-shaped thorn(有刺異器), and ㅏ-shaped tomb(ㅏ字形古墳). The distribution range of iron wares and tomb coincided with the distribution area of Gyeongju-style earthenware, it was confirmed that these distributions correspond to the same culture in relation to burial rites.
The cultural zone is centered on the transportation route of Ulsan-Gyeongju-Yeongcheon- Gyeongsan⋅Pohang, and also connects to Gangneung, Gangwon province along the east coast. It is presumed that this route served as an arterial road. The main road was not available from Miryang, Cheongdo, and Jain. It seems that there was a separate branch line joining Ulsan. In addition, it is presumed that the Andong-Yeongyang-Yeongdeok-Yeonghae transportation route was also operated.
These transportation route was verified by comparing it with the salt road in the late Joseon Dynasty. Because the salt road was the road with the most traffic. From the Three Kingdoms Period(三國時代) to the late Joseon Dynasty(朝鮮時代), there were virtually no changes in the terrain and means of transportation that could significantly affect transit.
The salt road in the Yeongnam region were divided into four districts according to geographical factors. It was confirmed that the distribution zone of Gyeongju-style earthenware were consistent with the distribution network of salt in the east coast.
Through this study, it was confirmed that earthenware culture could be used to restore ancient transportation routes in the Yeongnam region. Considering that the salt road operated in the private sector and that the end point of the road starting inland is leading to Ulsan rather than the political center Gyeongju, it could be observed that the transportation network formed to obtain essential goods such as salt and iron had an effect on the formation of pottery distribution zone.

Risk factors for fetal growth restriction in preterm births: a retrospective case control study
Authors: Charishma Chinthala S. , Agarwal Krishna
Published: September 2022

Background: Fetal growth restriction (FGR) and preterm birth (PTB) are two adverse pregnancy outcomes. There are many maternal risk factors that predispose to preterm and FGR independently. Very few studies have identified risk factors for combinations of preterm and FGR. The aim of the study was to find out whether risk factors for preterm FGR are different from the preterm non FGR.Methods: It was a retrospective case control study in which a total of 204 subjects (102 cases and 102 controls) were analyzed. Singleton, live as well as still births that occurred between 28+0 and 36+6 weeks of gestation were included in this study. FGR was defined as birth weight less than the 10th percentile as per intergrowth 21 charts. Odds ratios for the occurrence of preterm FGR and preterm non-FGR newborns, and respective 95% confidence intervals were estimated for each exposure variable.Results: Logistic regression analysis identified four significant risk factors for preterm FGR; low socioeconomic status (OR=1.9), manual labour (OR=12.9), BMI<18.5 kg/m2 (OR=9.2), passive smoking (OR=2.48). After adjusting these factors in multivariate analysis, underweight (OR=8.37) and manual work (OR=9.99) were found to be independent risk factors for FGR among preterm births.Conclusions: Interventions to promote early attendance to ANC services, reducing poverty, educating to avoid smoking and manual labour may significantly decrease the burden of FGR and preterm birth.

Authors: Hooda Ruchi , Gopinathan K. K. , Devi Geeta
Published: September 2022

Background: Azoospermia is a highly upcoming subject in the last few decades. In the past, use of donor sperm was the only option providing a realistic chance of conception for couples affected by azoospermia. Introduction of sperm retrieval techniques and assisted reproductive technologies, especially intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), has provided these men a chance to father their genetically own child and changed the management approach significantly. The aim of this study was to compare the outcome of intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) of surgically retrieve sperms between couples with infertility due to male non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) and obstructive azoospermia (OA).Methods: It was a retrospective observational study and data analysis was conducted at Centre for Infertility and Assisted Reproduction (CIMAR), Edappal, Kerala, India from January 2018 to December 2021. The selection of cases was based on detailed history, physical examination, husband’s semen analysis confirmed twice and hormone profile. During a period of four years, 754 azoospermic patients were diagnosed at our centre. In this study, female age <35 years considered as the inclusion criteria as female age plays a pivotal role for IVF/ICSI outcome, while patient in whom voluntary donor sperm used, patients in whom sperm retrieval failed, female age >35 years and female associated with any pathology which can alter the treatment outcome e.g., endometriosis, severe adenomyosis, diminished ovarian reserve, fibroid uterus were excluded from the study groups. On the basis of serum FSH, serum testosterone and testicular size and considering inclusion and exclusion criteria, patients were subdivided into two group as: group A (n=75) included patients with non-obstructive azoospermia and group B (n=75) included patients with obstructive azoospermia, underwent ICSI.Results: Clinical pregnancy rate, fertilization and implantation rate were found to be higher in OA cases in comparison to those of NOA cases. Grade A embryo formation rate and miscarriage rate showed no significant difference.Conclusions: As the cause of azoospermia is different in both the groups, the chances of achieving a successful outcome (fertilization rate, embryo formation rate, and clinical pregnancy rate) after ICSI are negatively affected by the type of azoospermia and are reduced in men with NOA in comparison to patients with OA.

Authors: Asad Saba
Published: September 2022

A caesarean scar pregnancy (CSP) is a rare form of ectopic pregnancy in which gestational sac is Implanted inside the previous caesarean scar. It is a life-threatening form of abnormal Implantation of embryo within the myometrium and fibrous tissue of the previous scar following caesarean section. Transvaginal sonography (TVS) is the gold standard for diagnosis of CSP. If CSP is diagnosed early and correctly by TVS then patient outcome is better. One third of the cases are misdiagnosed. A patient G2P1L1A0 with previous one caesarean section came with history of amenorrhea 3 months and, pain abdomen and spotting P/V since morning, she had an ultrasound report with her showing, 8 weeks of intra-uterine pregnancy with no cardiac activity. Impression was missed abortion. Patient was prepared for suction and evacuation under GA. During the procedure, patient started bleeding heavily, her vitals deteriorated, an emergency laparatomy was done and it was found to be a scar pregnancy. Scar was excised; the patient withstood the surgery well. Post-operative period was uneventful.

Authors: Pandey Yashaswi , Jaiswal Jyoti , Naik Smriti , Lambodari Pratibha
Published: September 2022

Disorders of sex development (DSD) comprise a rare group of disorders in which genotype and phenotype are discordant. In 46 XY DSD, also known as Swyer syndrome, patients present a complete female phenotype and the 46 XY karyotype is usually identified during investigation for primary amenorrhea and/or delayed puberty. The risk of developing a gonadal tumor can be as high as 30%-40%. A 27-year-old phenotypically female with the complaints of primary amenorrhea with a pelvic mass presented to our setup. The case was approached applying the role of clinical, radiological and laboratory analyses. The final diagnosis of Swyer syndrome with gonadoblastoma was made. Karyotyping was done which revealed 46 XY set of chromosomes. Her FSH and LH levels were found to be elevated. Patient was explained about streak gonads. After surgical resection of tumor and gonadectomy, HRT was started. Primary amenorrhea is a common diagnostic challenge, wherein there are numerous causes that need to be approached in a systematic manner. However, when a case with a pelvic lump or a solid pelvic mass presents to a clinician, the approach becomes difficult to justify amenorrhea and pelvic mass as a single entity.

Background: The assessment of body fat distribution is an important evaluation in patients with lupus nephritis (LN), which does not practice routinely. The objectives of this study were to determine the body composition by using bioelectrical impedance analysis and to identify the effects of age, body mass index, disease activity, and corticosteroid therapy on body composition.Methods: This was a single-centered, cross-sectional, and observational study conducted at the nephrology unit, National Hospital Kandy, Sri Lanka. Seventy-nine patients with biopsy-proven LN have participated in the study.Results: There were 79 lupus nephritis patients enrolled in this study. The duration of LN ranged from 8 months to 32 years. The main non-renal clinical manifestations included skin lesions (59%), arthritis (54%), and oral ulcers (48%). The disease activity was low with a mean SLEDAI score of 1.01 (SD=2.3). The body fat (BF) percentage (p=0.002) and subcutaneous fat (SF) percentage (p<0.001) were significantly low in males compared to females. And, BF percentage was significantly low among patients with SLEDAI-2K 6 (p=0.03). Moreover, there were positive correlations found between SLE disease activity with the BMI (p=0.004), body fat percentage (p=0.001), and visceral fat percentage (p=0.001).Conclusions: Females are more prone to have a high mean value of body composition parameters than males in this study. There is a negative influence of the body composition parameters reported against the disease activity among LN patients in Sri Lanka.

Published: September 2022

Background: Organophosphorus compound poisoning episodes are relatively common in occurrence in this part of the world and are associated with high levels of morbidity as well as death, at times despite competent care. The present study was conducted to profile clinically the patients admitted with history of acute organophosphorus poisoning.Methods: This prospective observational study was conducted between September 2017 and October 2019 at four hospitals with intensive care units in a city in central-west India region, wherein clinically relevant details of patients admitted with history of acute organophosphorus poisoning were noted and analysed.Results: Out of 160 participants studied, males (58.75%) and those between 21-30 years age group (45.0%) were affected more. Suicidal attempt was the commonest mode (97.5%). Majority of the participants belonged to severity grade II (45%); with severity grades found directly related to longer hospital stay and death. Constriction of pupils (76.25%) was the commonest clinical sign observed. The death rate was calculated to be 21.25%, with monocrotophos (100%) and dicholorovas (66.63%) compounds being associated with very high mortality. Dimethoate was the commonest substance incriminated (18.75%).Conclusions: Organophosphorus poisoning has affected the young, productive males prominently. Higher severity of the disease process at presentation leads to significant mortality. Selective prohibition of the riskier compounds causing higher proportion of deaths is recommended.

Ergonomics in oral health professions: a mapping review protocol
Authors: Roby Shiba , Morse Zac
Published: September 2022

Background: Ergonomics is a multidisciplinary science that studies how humans and other system elements interact and a profession that uses theory, concepts, data, and methodologies to improve human well-being and overall system performance. Oral health professionals need good working ergonomics to preserve their work competence, efficiency, and high clinical level of treatment throughout their careers. For various working practices, clinical procedures, and patient types, they must adjust and ensure proper working postures, adequate illumination, and easy access to essential apparatus and materials. Although some systematic studies and original research have been conducted about different aspects of “ergonomics in oral health professions,” no mapping review has been shown. The authors believe a broad overview of existing literature is required to map existing research, determine research gaps, and guide future research.

Methods: The protocol for this mapping review has been designed by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analysis extension for scoping studies (PRISMA-SCR) and the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) guidelines. A comprehensive search strategy developed with an experienced liaison librarian for health will be used to search four databases and eight sources of unpublished literature. JBI’s proposed search approach will be used. A PRISMA-SCR flowchart will be used to track the number of recognised, screened, and excluded sources. A data extraction table will be used to collate critical information, supplemented with a narrative explanation, and presented in a tabular style.

Conclusions: This mapping review will identify research gaps in this field and guide further studies.

Background: World health organisation (WHO) stresses the importance of education and public awareness of vector-borne diseases. The present study attempts to assess the knowledge, attitude and behavioral practices regarding clinical signs, symptoms, transmission and preventive measures of malaria and dengue.Methods: One tribal (Barwani) and one non-tribal district (Indore) of Indore division of the state of Madhya Pradesh. These two districts were identified based on the simple random sampling technique using chit method of all the 8 districts covered under Indore division. Study design was cross sectional study. Study population were individuals more than 18 years of age from general population residing in Indore and Barwani districts of MP.Results: The 78.1% study subjects did not know the type of mosquito responsible for transmission of malaria and 92.44% study subjects had no idea about the type of mosquito involved in dengue transmission. The 37.8% study subjects did not know the common breeding site of female Anopheles mosquitoes, 28.9% study subjects knew that stagnant clean water was the breeding site of female Anopheles mosquitoes and 54.7% study subjects had no idea about the breeding place of Aedes mosquito. Only 29.5% study subjects were aware that most frequent time of female anopheles bite was at dusk and dawn.Conclusions: Awareness regarding the type of mosquito, its breeding place and biting time was poor. Knowledge regarding symptoms of malaria was better as compared to that of dengue. Awareness practice regarding source reduction was poor in study population.

The average scoring for quality of life was about 50.34 in those who did not have insomnia as compared to 38.49 in those who had insomnia.Conclusions: A one-third of the young population had insomnia. Quality of life is impaired due to insomnia. There must be education programs for young individuals to provide the information on promoting sleep.
Prevalence of malnutrition in under five age group of the tribals in Wayanad district of Kerala, South India: a community based cross-sectional study
Authors: S. R. Arun Krishna , Srijayanth Parameswari
Published: September 2022

Background: Malnutrition is one of the major causes for childhood mortality among under-five children in India. The tribal community accounts for 8.6% of India's population. In India, nutritional as well as socio-economic inequalities are most intensely experienced by the tribal population when compared with the rest of the population. The objective of the study is to estimate the prevalence of malnourishment among tribal children (0-59 months) in the Wayanad district of Kerala.Methods: A community-based cross-sectional survey was conducted among 319 tribal children (0-59 months) of Noolpuzha panchayat, Wayanad district using a semi-structured, pretested questionnaire to collect the socio-demographic profile (age, gender, education, occupation, type of tribe, type of house, type of family) from mother/caretaker and anthropometric measurements (height, weight, and mid-arm circumference) was recorded and compared with WHO growth standards. Quantitative variables were summarized using the Mean (SD). Children below -2SD are considered malnourished in terms of being underweight, stunted, and wasted. Results: The mean age of the children were 29 months±16 SD of which 168 (52.7%) were male, and 151 (47.3%) were females. The prevalence of underweight, stunting, and wasting was 175 (54.8%), 165 (51.7%) and 99 (31%) respectively of which 111 (34.7%) were severely underweight, 88 (27.6%) were severely stunted and 57 (17.8%) were severely wasted.Conclusions: Malnourishment in the form of stunting, wasting, and underweight is very high among under-five tribal children of Noolpuzha panchayat resulting in the need for a multidisciplinary approach to identifying the reasons for malnourishment existing among these marginalized communities.

Although acute dizziness is a very frequent reason for admissions to emergency care, its differential diagnosis is difficult to establish due to many factors. Dizziness may mean diverse sensations such as vertigo, lightheadedness, presyncope, disequilibrium, or simply feeling unwell. The classical approach to dizziness initiates with characterizing the form of dizziness according to the belief that every kind of dizziness represents a particular underlying etiology: vertigo is vestibular, presyncope is cardiovascular, disequilibrium is neurological, and nonspecific dizziness is psychogenic or metabolic. Development of acute dizziness/vertigo unaccompanied by precipitating features occurs in patients of acute spontaneous dizziness. The dizziness/vertigo mainly presents with autonomic symptoms like imbalance, nausea, and vomiting. Dizziness/vertigo and imbalance are the commonest manifestations in vertebrobasilar ischemia, which accounts for over 20% of all ischemic strokes. It is essential to distinguish between isolated vascular vertigo from less severe disorders related to the inner ear as the treatment plan and prognosis vary among these problems. The development of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has improved the infarction identification in cases with vascular dizziness/vertigo, particularly from undermined posterior blood flow. Nonetheless, proper bedside neurotologic assessment which includes components such as head impulse/thrust test, head shaking nystagmus test and ocular tilt reaction test demonstrate higher sensitivity than imaging in diagnosing acute cerebrovascular accidents as an etiology of abruptly occurring vertigo lasting longer than one day, particularly in the initial 48 hours.

A technique of wave front aberration compensation for space telescopes is considered. According to the technique introduced, first, point spread functions (PSF) for the range of temperature field parameters and mirrors displacements are calculated. Then, the calculated PSF closest to the measured one is assumed as a base for the optimization procedure, according to which a set of the parameters most precisely approximating the measured PSF is obtained.

The relevance of the topic of socio-cultural reproduction of communicative compe-tencies among youth is high due to both the dynamic changes in this sphere and the total involvement of young people in communication processes. The article discusses the data of empirical study collected in the period of October 2021 – March 2022. An online survey method (Google Forms) was used. Sample type – quota, representa-tion is provided by gender, age and type of the settlement. The sample size is 2492 respondents. The age of the respondents is from 15 to 29 years old. The concept of self-regulation of youth life activity by V. I. Chuprov and Yu. A. Zubok is imple-mented as methodological basis. An analysis of the conjugations of gender and ha-bitual attitudes (to collectivism and individualism; disinterestedness and prudence), and the meanings of communication (terminal – joy, happiness; pleasure; internal need; and instrumental – duty of politeness; forced necessity; useful connections) in the socio-cultural reproduction of communicative competencies by young people is presented. Based on a multivariate analysis of these indicators, the authors draw the following conclusions. Young people fully realize the reproductive function in com-municative skills. Gender, as a rule, manifests itself in the reproduction of predomi-nantly “male” (“to insist on one’s own) and traditionally “female” skills “to sympa-thize, emotionally empathize with others”, gender solidarity – in the reproduction of “universal” competencies such as “listen and try to understand others”. The differen-tiation of young people within gender groups in connection with the habits and mean-ings of communication empirically confirms that the reproduction of communicative competencies is regulated by unconscious and conscious elements of the socio-cultural mechanism of self-regulation. The habitual attitudes that go back to tradi-tional culture have a greater differentiating effect, on reproduction of communicative competence of youth. Among all of the meanings of communication that young peo-ple create – instrumental meanings correlated with modern culture are stronger. Soci-ocultural reproduction through the meanings of communication reveals a paradox that is not characteristic of other spheres of youth life: in the communicative space, the carriers of instrumental meanings are less equipped with communicative skills than the carriers of terminal ones.

W artykule przedstawiono zagadnienia związane z biodegradacją węglowodorów ropopochodnych (TPH – suma węglowodorów ropopochodnych, BTEX – węglowodory monoaromatyczne, WWA – wielopierścieniowe węglowodory aromatyczne) w glebie na drodze inokulacji biopreparatem opracowanym na bazie autochtonicznych szczepów bakteryjnych oraz mieszaninami biopreparatu z roztworem γ-PGA. Badania biodegradacji prowadzono w warunkach laboratoryjnych z wykorzystaniem zestawu Oxi-Top. Materiał badawczy stanowiła gleba pobrana z terenu dołu urobkowego charakteryzująca się wysokim stężeniem węglowodorów ropopochodnych. W badaniach biodegradacji zastosowano cztery sposoby inokulacji: wariant A (biopreparat), wariant B (biopreparat i roztwór γ-PGA w stosunku objętościowym 2 : 1), wariant C (biopreparat i roztwór γ-PGA w stosunku objętościowym 1 : 1) oraz wariant D (biopreparat i roztwór γ-PGA w stosunku objętościowym 1 : 2). Efektywność biodegradacji oceniono na podstawie przeprowadzonych badań respirometrycznych oraz analiz chromatograficznych. Wartości aktywności mikrobiologicznej w próbkach gleby inokulowanych biopreparatem oraz roztworem γ-PGA po 60 dniach testu wynosiły 2040 mg O2/dm3 (wariant B), 3769 mg O2/dm3 (wariant C) i 5127 mg O2/dm3 (wariant D), natomiast w próbce inokulowanej samym biopreparatem (wariant A) oznaczono 1582 mg O2/dm3. Wykonane analizy chromatograficzne wykazały, że stopień biodegradacji TPH po zakończeniu testu wynosił 36,78%, podczas gdy dodanie γ-PGA do biopreparatu spowodowało obniżenie zawartości TPH o 39,73% (wariant B), 42,37% (wariant C) oraz 44,34% (wariant D). Stopień biodegradacji BTEX w glebach inokulowanych biopreparatem z dodatkiem γ-PGA wynosił od 47,11% do 51,00%, natomiast bez dodatku γ-PGA 44,53%. Z kolei inokulacja gleby biopreparatem z dodatkiem γ-PGA spowodowała obniżenie zawartości WWA w badanej glebie o 32,18% (wariant B), 37,40% (wariant C), 39,62% (wariant D), a samym biopreparatem – o 29,40% (wariant A). Przeprowadzone badania laboratoryjne wykazały, że γ-PGA wpływa korzystnie na efektywność procesu biodegradacji substancji ropopochodnych takich jak węglowodory alifatyczne, węglowodory monoaromatyczne oraz wielopierścieniowe węglowodory aromatyczne.
Study of the operating efficiency of centrifugal separators for gas preparation
Authors: Ozherelev D.A. , Shalai V.V. , Ridel I.A.
Published: September 2022

There exist two ways to intensify production in an oil and gas facility: the first one involves accepting associated petroleum gas for treatment from third-party subsoil users and supplying gas to the main gas pipeline in accordance with the technical specifications, while the second one concerns upgrading crucial processing equipment, which includes separators. Associated petroleum gas as mixed with natural gas affects the separation process in terms of a significant decrease in separator efficiency for the same set of operational parameters due to increasing the mass flow rate. In turn, this low separation efficiency results in the separated gas ablating the liquid phase. This factor varies over a wide range and depends on the design and actual performance of the separator, as well as on the pressure, temperature and composition of the gas mixture supplied. We consider a tentative layout for a centrifugal separator of a combined design for treating natural gas containing a quantity of associated petroleum gas. The paper presents numerical computation results for the separation simulation, as well as data obtained during actual separator operation for different heat and pressure values. We established that the separator design proposed provides high efficiency of gas treatment.
Obrona oficerskiego honoru czy zwykłe zabójstwo? Kontrowersje i dyskusja wokół wybranych orzeczeń wojskowego sądownictwa w II Rzeczypospolitej (do 1926 r.)
Authors: Banaszak Bogusław , Kulka Grzegorz
Published: September 2022

Po odzyskaniu po ponad stu latach niepodległości przez Polskę doszło do zmian w sferze kulturalno-obyczajowej. Jednym z elementów owej strefy było m.in. honor, a zwłaszcza honor oficerski. Trudności, jeżeli chodzi o zdefiniowanie go wywodziły się z rozmaitego rodowodu pochodzenia kadry oficerskiej II RP (armie zaborców, Legiony Polskie czy błękitna armia gen. Hallera). Granica naruszenia honoru stała się dla każdej osoby własnym psychoetycznym elementem, która była wypadkową najróżniejszych czynników. W celu rozwiązania owych problemów powstało wówczas kilka poradników, w tym m.in. „Poradnik w sprawach honorowych” ppłk. Witolda Filimowskiego. Autorzy w niniejszej pracy zastawiają się na bazie kilku spraw z czasów II RP, czy wymieniona „ciężka obraza” przez twórcę poradnika i ogólna porada, aby „użyć broni przeciw obrażającemu” mogła dawać pozwolenie na zabicie osoby obrażającej w celu ochrony honoru oficerskiego czy to już byłoby zabójstwo?
Wolność człowieka – doktrynalna analiza pojęcia normatywnego zawartego w Konstytucji Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej z 2 kwietnia 1997 r.
Authors: Górecki Olgierd
Published: September 2022

Celem niniejszego artykułu jest wskazanie modelu wolności człowieka na bazie analizy obwiązującej Konstytucji RP z dnia 2 kwietnia 1997 r. przy zastosowaniu aparatu pojęciowego doktryn polityczno-prawnych. Oryginalność prowadzonego wywodu wiąże się z wyborem tematu badawczego, ponieważ dla przedstawicieli dogmatyki prawa konstytucyjnego pojęcie wolności człowieka niemal nigdy nie stanowiło oddzielnego tematu badawczego, lecz zawsze wiązało się z prawami człowieka.

Konstytucyjność ryczałtowego opodatkowania osób duchownych – przyczynek do dyskusji
Authors: Michalak Anna
Published: September 2022

Autorka w swojej pracy zastanawia się nad konstytucyjnością ryczałtowego opodatkowania osób duchownych. Badaczka podkreśla, że w literaturze przedmiotu stwierdza się, że obecny system nie jest doskonały, ale wydaje się jednocześnie, że nie jest możliwe jego udoskonalenie w tym momencie. Dalej Autorka niniejszego artykułu stwierdza, że zryczałtowany podatek dochodowy od osób duchownych narusza w sposób znaczący zasadę sprawiedliwości, powszechności i równości podatkowej i budzi zastrzeżenia do poprawności legislacyjnej.
Konstytucyjna opieka nad weteranami walk o niepodległość
Authors: Sułkowski Jarosław
Published: September 2022

Autor opracowania skupił się na omówieniu art. 19 Konstytucji RP, która stanowi o wdzięczności przodkom za walkę o niepodległość. Otaczanie weteranów walk o niepodległość państwa polskiego jest więc wyrazem szacunku za ich poświęcenie się dla kraju. Jednakże, w czasach współczesnych, jak zauważa autor, nie da się temu artykułowi przypisać sens wyłącznie historyczny. Jest to związane z różnorakimi międzynarodowymi zobowiązaniami Polski czy umiędzynarodowieniem terroryzmu wobec czego przedstawiciele obecnego pokolenia również mogą stać się weteranami walki o niepodległość Polski.
