Stabilization of Expansive Soil Using Marble Powder and Phosphoric Acid against Physical Properties and SEM-EDS Tests
Authors: Nuno Ambrosio Martins , Syahril Syahril
Published: December 2023

The Gedebage region faces a myriad of challenges, including road deformations, swelling of roads and bridges, and cracks in drainage foundations, buildings, and asphalt concrete. To address these issues, a comprehensive analysis of soil physical properties was conducted at the POLBAN soil mechanics laboratory, along with chemical tests at the POLMAN laboratory. The primary objective was to understand the physical properties and mineral composition of Gedebage soil and develop effective soil management strategies. Soil stabilization was employed as a method to enhance infrastructure resilience in Gedebage. Marble powder waste (MPW) was utilized in varying concentrations (2.5%, 4%, 5.5%, and 7%) along with 4% phosphoric acid (PA) to optimize the solution. MPW filled soil pores and improved cohesion, while PA reduced moisture content, enhanced particle bonding, increased load-bearing capacity, and minimized soil volume changes. Initial soil tests revealed a high plasticity index (PI) of 54.20%, indicating Gedebage, expansive clay soil nature with significant potential for expansion and plasticity. The AASHTO classified it as "A-7-6", and the USCS classified it as "CH." Stabilization experiments demonstrated that the most effective combination was the original soil + 7% MPW + 4% PA, resulting in a PI of 16.03% and an activity level (Ac) of 0.48. AASHTO classified this combination as "A-2-6," and the USCS as "CL." Furthermore, MPW oxygen, silica, and aluminum content exhibited potential for pozzolanic reactions, while PA reacted with soil mineral cations likes: Ca, Fe, Al dan Phosphor, forming a water-resistant layer. MPW and PA effectively improved the expansive clay soil's ability to withstand moisture-induced changes. This study serves as a foundation for further investigations into the mechanical properties of Gedebage soil, focusing on bearing capacity and stability, using MPW and PA in civil and infrastructure foundation applications.
The Effect of Additional Vermiculite on Compressive and Flexural Strength of Concrete

Published: December 2023

Concrete is one of the building materials that is used the most. The majority of the volume of concrete is made up of aggregates, which have a significant impact on the characteristics, mix proportions, and economics of concrete. The space created by the absence of fine aggregate can be filled with vermiculite. Vermiculite is a rich mineral that is widely recognized for its exfoliating properties and for expanding quickly when heated. Vermiculite typically has a temperature resistance of up to 1200°C. It is a system of low-density, non-structural building products. In addition to being lighter in weight and odorless, vermiculite offers increased workability, improved fire resistance, and improved resistance to cracking and shrinking also reduce cost of construction. In this research, vermiculite is employed at varying concentrations of 12%, 24%, and 36%. Vermiculite samples from PT.IPI Sunijaya, cement with the Dynamix brand, fine aggregate from the Galunggung area, and coarse aggregate from Cimalaka. The design of this research followed ACI 1991, with a design quality of 15 MPa. The maximum variant on compressive strength and flextural strength of concrete is using 36% of vermiculite because vermiculite has a high capacity for water absorption, adding it to concrete boosts both the compressive strength and flexural strength of the material. Vermiculite will therefore absorb excess water in the mixture and dry out the mortar while keeping the completed product's firmness owing to the granules. This is why it is added to and blended with concrete. Vermiculite particles can be used to patch cracks and holes in concrete.
ŻYCIE WYBRANE. Recenzja książki Pawła Stefanowskiego "Wiersze wybrane" (Siedlce-Warszawa 2022)
Authors: WATRAL Marta
Published: December 2023

The text is a review of Paweł Stefanowski’s book "Wiersze wybrane", published thanks to the efforts of the writer’s children in the year that would have been the 90th anniversary of his birth. Stefanowski was one of the most important writers/activists of the Lemko revival after the akcja „Wisła”. Since this is a Polish-language edition, directed also to a non-Lemko reader, in the review I focus on how important the radical choices and steadfastness of the activists were and are for the maintenance of Lemko identity. I locate the reviewed book as a signpost, a map from which Lemkos can retrace the path to their identity, and readers outside the Lemko community can understand what the uniqueness of people like Stefanowski is to a community that does not have its own state and institutions protecting its cultural heritage.

Authors: PAWLIK Krzysztof
Published: December 2023

The article outlines the advantages of incorporating diachronic linguistics into foreign language instruction. It defines key terms and references recent research by James M. Stratton. Two approaches to integrating diachrony into education are discussed. The author delves into a proposed unique first-degree full-time study program (using a program tailored to the Ludwig Maximilian University in Munich) that would enable students to master two to three closely related foreign languages at the B2+ level. An alternative version of the program and suggested admission requirements are also presented. Finally, a course project is introduced, which could serve as a cornerstone for the aforementioned fields of study and would be easier to implement due to administrative and staffing reasons.
Неовізантійські традиції у творчості Гелени-Марії Шрамм – художниці-бойчукістки з польсько-українського пограниччя

The article is devoted to the work of a rather unknown Polish artist and a student of Mykhailo Boychuk of the Paris period, Helena Schramm. The works of the artist of a religious and secular nature, executed in the manner of Mykhailo Boychuk „neo-Byzantinism” in the technique of tempera and painting on glass, were known in the Polish artistic environment of the 1920s. However, with the death of the artist, her work was forgotten, and her memory was preserved in the family village of Olkhova on the Polish- Ukrainian border of the Carpathian region.
O NADZIEI. Z DZIENNIKÓW PISARZY PIERWSZEJ FALI EMIGRACJI ROSYJSKIEJ
Authors: Krycka-Michnowska Iwona
Published: December 2023

This paper analyzes the diaristic notes of two prominent representatives of the Russian diaspora in Paris, Ivan Bunin and Zinaida Gippius, in search of an answer to the question of what gave hope to them during World War II. An analysis of the diaries shows that hope became a value that allowed its authors to survive the spiritual crisis. In the subsequent periods of the war, the main source of hope for them was the process of writing and creativity, which they saw as a weapon in the fight against transience, the sense of meaninglessness and loneliness. Bunin and Gippius wanted to leave themselves in the word, believing it to be eternal. In a borderline situation, the act of writing became, for them, the main form of confirming the continuum of their self and sometimes the only form of creative expression.
ІНСТРУКЦЫІ ВАЎКАВЫСКІМ ПАСЛАМ НА СОЙМЫ РЭЧЫ ПАСПАЛІТАЙ У ПАНАВАННЕ АЎГУСТА ІІІ (1735–1763 ГГ.)
Authors: Matsuk Andrei
Published: December 2023

Instructions to the Vawkavysk Envoys to the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth Sejm under King August III (1735–1763): The article presents an analysis of the instructions of the local sejmik (an assembly of the regional nobility) prepared for their Vawkavysk representants (envoys) at the Sejm sessions during the reign of King August III (1735–1763). These instructions included from 4 to 40 points. Vawkavysk envoys at the time of August III were well-known parliamentarians of their epoch; there were such personages as Stefan Olędzki, Michał Antoni Sapieha, Kazimierz Massalski, Ludwik Gerwazy Oskierka and Dominik Suchodolski. They were supporters of the Familia Party (a political faction led by the Czartoryskis and allied families), which sought to reform the state to strengthen it. The instruction to the Vawkavysk envoys covered a wide range of the state’s domestic and foreign policy issues, as well as the affairs of the Vawkavysk poviat (county) itself. These instructions contain items concerning the functioning of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth Sejm, the increase of the size of the army, the reform of the judiciary, economic and financial issues, demands for independence of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, others regarding private points in the interests of individual noblemen, as well as foreign policy activities (primarily in relation with Russia issues).
„ZRUSZCZONY POLAKOŻERCA O PIĘKNYM POLSKIM NAZWISKU”. SIERGIEJ WOJCIECHOWSKI I JEGO "EPIZODY"
Authors: Brzykcy Jolanta
Published: December 2023

The article presents the now-forgotten figure of Sergej Vojcehovskij (1900–1984), an important figure in the social and literary life of the Russian diaspora in interwar Warsaw. As a declared monarchist, an implacable enemy of the Bolsheviks and the Soviet Union, Vojcehovskij devoted his life to fighting the communists and helping Russian emigrants. He was active in many émigré organisations, primarily in the Russian Social Committee (Rosyjski Komitet Społeczny, 1931–1944). As its head, he represented the interests of the Russian diaspora before the authorities of the Second Polish Republic and then the Third Reich. The dark side of his activity was a collaboration with Nazi Germany, with whom Vojcehovskij cooperated, counting on their help in overthrowing Stalin. The article’s main aim is to analyse Vojcehovskij’s memories (The Episodes, 1978). Their composition, structure, the principle of selection of life material, the method of self-presentation of the creator and genological heterogeneity are discussed. Vojcehovskij’s monarchist views influenced all these aspects of his memoirs.
СУЧАСНА УКРАЇНСЬКА ПРОЗА ПІСЛЯ 24 ЛЮТОГО 2022: РЕЦЕПЦІЯ ВІЙНИ
Authors: Trofymenko Tetiana
Published: December 2023

The article analyses Ukrainian prose works published after the Russian aggression against Ukraine on 24 February 2022. Generally, the newest Ukrainian prose gravitates more towards the non-fiction genre framework. It is represented by numerous anthologies, mainly with pieces by famous writers, literary critics, and public figures. The authors record personal experiences and reflect on the history of the Russian-Ukrainian confrontation in historical retrospect. Today, the non-fiction format is more popular because it allows essayists to talk about painful topics from a more moderate position and broadcast the situation of Ukrainians to the international community through the mobile genre of short journalistic prose. At the same time, the revaluation of values experienced currently by millions of Ukrainians is manifested in the tendency to cancel everything Russian, which affects the course of the literary process and the distribution of roles among its players, as well as causes the appearance of texts whose style is dominated by hatred of the enemy of the occupier.
Mechanisms of integration in psychedelic-assisted therapy
Authors: Coverdale Nicole S. , Cook Douglas J.
Published: December 2023

LAY SUMMARY

Psychedelic pharmacotherapies combined with structured psychotherapy have shown promise in the treatment of several psychological conditions. This type of therapy is known as psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy (PAP) and includes three phases: preparation, in-session support, and integration. The purpose of this review was to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that used psychedelics to treat a psychological condition and to summarize the literature on changes that may be associated with clinical outcomes, as measured with MRI and various psychologically based tools. Psychedelics were administered in 17 RCTs, and 16 of these did so within a PAP framework. A total of 19 studies were identified that looked at MRI or psychological outcomes during the integration phase. Changes in brain networks during integration were identified but were not consistent between studies because of small sample sizes and inconsistent methodology. Some evidence suggests that changes in the executive control network may occur after psychedelic administration. Psychological changes after psychedelic administration were related to cognitive flexibility and personality traits such as openness and neuroticism. Overall, studies in this field should be repeated with a greater number of participants and other MRI-based techniques.

Animacidade e o processamento de orações relativas de sujeito e objeto por bilíngues Português–Inglês
Authors: Guedes Ramon Brasileiro , Leitão Márcio Martins , Gomes Juliana Novo
Published: December 2023

Tradicionalmente, orações relativas de sujeito têm sido apontadas como mais fáceis de processar que orações relativas de objeto. Essa diferença se daria pela maior complexidade sintática das últimas frente às primeiras. No entanto, quando se controla a animacidade do referente dessas estruturas, diferenças de custo de processamento entre elas desaparecem ou são atenuadas, pondo em dúvida a ideia de que apenas fatores sintáticos estão acessíveis ao parser durante os momentos iniciais do processamento linguístico. Ainda não está claro se esses resultados são igualmente válidos no caso de processamento de segunda língua. Decidimos investigar se a animacidade do referente interfere no processamento de orações relativas em inglês por falantes não nativos, neste caso brasileiros que têm o português como idioma materno e o inglês como segunda língua. Além disso, buscamos descobrir se o nível de proficiência desses participantes teria efeito sobre o processamento de tais estruturas. Para tanto, utilizamos o método de leitura automonitorada com 32 bilíngues português (L1)/inglês (L2), divididos igualmente em dois grupos de acordo com o nível de proficiência na L2 (intermediário ou avançado). Os estímulos utilizados foram orações relativas de sujeito e objeto, com referente animado e inanimado, o que gerou quatro condições experimentais. Observamos o desaparecimento da assimetria de processamento entre orações relativas de sujeito e objeto no caso dos falantes de nível avançado. Dados diferentes foram obtidos com os participantes de nível intermediário, o que sugeriria uma menor acessibilidade de fatores não sintáticos no processamento de L2 para esses falantes.
Processamento de frases com o verbo gustar por aprendizes brasileiros
Authors: De Jesus Souza Lorrainy , Lourenço Cunha Susanna , Ortiz-Preuss Elena
Published: December 2023

A estrutura argumental do verbo gustar (em espanhol) se distingue do verbo gostar (em português) pelo ordenamento sintático preferencial, pela atribuição de papéis temáticos e pela frequência de uso. Essas distinções acarretam dificuldades na aquisição do verbo gustar por aprendizes lusofalantes, tanto pela interferência da L1, quanto pela tendência natural de processamento dos aprendizes, de interpretar automaticamente o primeiro (pro)nome como sujeito da frase, conforme o modelo de processamento do input - MPI (VANPATTEN, 1996, 2002, 2005, 2015). Neste artigo, discutimos os resultados de dois experimentos que visavam analisar o processamento do verbo gustar em espanhol como L2 por aprendizes brasileiros, observando efeitos de interferência interlinguística, bem como, verificando se o ordenamento sintático afeta o processamento do verbo gustar. Os dois experimentos abrangiam tarefas de julgamento de aceitabilidade (TJA) e de identificação do sujeito (TIS), realizadas de modo online, utilizando-se o PCIbex Farm. Além disso, todos os participantes responderam, pelo Google Forms, ao questionário de histórico linguístico para bilíngues, com dados necessários para traçar o seu perfil. De modo geral, os resultados evidenciaram que o desempenho dos participantes não parece ter sido influenciado pela semelhança estrutural entre as línguas e que os custos de processamento do verbo gustar podem ser explicados tanto pelo efeito de frequência de uso da estrutura na L2 quanto pelo princípio do primeiro nome, conforme proposto no MPI. Os resultados também mostraram que as duas tarefas (TJA e TIS) envolviam a compreensão das frases, mas com demandas de complexidade diversa.
Structural priming effects during the oral production of English as l2
Authors: Dos Santos Francineide Fatima Davies , Mota Mailce Borges
Published: December 2023

Structural priming effects in L1 oral production are associated with the automatic nature of processing and implicit knowledge. In L2, however, these effects are not well known. The present study investigated syntactic processing in the oral production of Brazilian Portuguese late learners of English as L2 to determine if structural priming effects can be detected within the L2. To do so, participants performed an oral sentence production task in English within four experimental conditions in which the use of active and passive voices with and without repetition of the main verb was manipulated. Participants also performed an oral sentence production task in the active and passive voice that served as a baseline to detect their individual preferences in the use of verbal voices. Results demonstrated a complex interaction between structural priming effects and the individual tendency to reuse the syntactic structure in L2. Results also showed a greater production of the passive voice structure in the experimental conditions in comparison to the baseline. Furthermore, the effects of structural priming were mainly found in conditions 3 and 4, which were both related to the passive voice, the less frequent structure. The results in condition 3 indicated an interaction of structural priming effects and the repetition of the head of the structure (i.e., the verb), meaning that verb repetition boosted these effects when structure (i.e., the passive voice) and verb were repeated (lexical boost). Taken together, these findings provide evidence for structural priming in English as L2 during oral production, mainly in the passive voice structure.

Authors: Syarifah Syarifah , Buerahen Nur Firdaw
Published: December 2023

This article aims to examine the implementation of Curriculum Management at Ma'had Al-Bittsat Addiyah Yala, an educational institution in Southern Thailand with a majority Muslim population. The research method employed is a qualitative descriptive approach. The research findings reveal that the implementation of Curriculum Management at Ma'had Al-Bittsat Addiyah Yala commences with curriculum planning, involving the formulation of annual, semester, and teaching plans. The school and the curriculum department collaborate to ensure the smooth execution of the curriculum by integrating elements from both institutional and government curricula. Furthermore, curriculum control is exercised through classroom monitoring, supervision of teacher accommodations, and student dormitory management. Ongoing evaluations, including monthly assessments, teacher evaluations following semester examinations, and assessments of student learning outcomes (both written and oral), are utilized to enhance the curriculum. To support the implementation of Curriculum Management, several facilitating factors have been identified. These include the flexibility to tailor the religious education curriculum to the needs of the institution and students, specialized teacher training aligned with their educational fields, and the availability of adequate facilities and infrastructure. Nevertheless, challenges persist, such as students' reduced interest in religious subjects and crowded student schedules. Therefore, recommendations are proposed to enhance the attractiveness of religious subjects, provide further training for teachers based on their specializations, and improve the efficiency of the class schedule. The outcomes of this research hold significant implications for understanding curriculum management in the context of religious education in Southern Thailand, serving as a foundation for future improvements.
A Revitalising Approach towards Aging: Unveiling the Potential Use of Probiotics for Wellness in Elderly Populations

Published: December 2023

Probiotics have emerged as a potential alternative for treating various diseases affecting general population. Mounting data suggests that probiotics can be beneficial for older individuals, who often have weakened immune systems and are more susceptible to illnesses. Dysbiosis commonly occurs in elderly individuals, which is implicated as a major reason for various diseases. The effectiveness of probiotics is influenced by the specific strain and the dosage administered. Extensive studies have shown how probiotics affect prevalent issues, such as functional bowel diseases and other gastrointestinal disorders. Probiotics exert their effects by synthesizing different microbial peptides, such as bacteriocins, antibiotics, lipopolysaccharides, short-chain fatty acids, butyric acid, propionic acid and other specific secretory metabolites. The common probiotics that are found to benefit the health of elderly populations include Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium lactis, Bacillus subtilis, Bifidobacterium longum and Bifidobacterium breve Further research is necessary to delve into the mechanism of action for both existing and novel probiotic strains for use in combating or aiding in diseases. Genetically, modified probiotics can be potentially used in the future to deliver immunity-restoring genes and as oral mode of vaccination in humans. Fecal microbiota transplantation has been gaining interest, used to restore gut conditions, and has also been linked to alleviating neurodegenerative diseases. The focus of this review was to present the available evidence on the immunomodulatory effects of probiotics in the elderly population; aiming to gain a better understanding of their mechanism of action and to assess the progress made in utilizing probiotics as therapeutic interventions.
Occupational mobility and the qualifications of Polish citizens
Authors: Cywiński Łukasz , Gałecka-Burdziak Ewa , Pater Robert
Published: December 2023

Motives: Little is known about the occupational mobility of Poles. In the literature, only the impact of socio-demographic factors on occupational mobility has been investigated. Occupational mobility may be influenced by educational attainment and the type of acquired qualifications, but these considerations have not been studied to date.Aim: The article examines occupational mobility, namely changes in occupation in a person’s professional history, as well as declared willingness (readiness) to change occupation within 12 months. The presented results of empirical research are based on a unique set of data collected during a CAWI survey performed on a sample of 16,119 Poles aged 18-65. An event history analysis and a logit model were used to analyse occupational mobility and its determinants.Results: The event history analysis revealed that Poles often change their learnt occupation. The results of the logit model indicate that the occupational mobility of Poles is influenced not only by demographic factors, but also by the acquired qualifications. Occupational mobility differed among respondents who acquired their qualifications at university, in a secondary school, or through vocational training. University graduates were characterized by the highest occupational mobility. Occupation mobility was influenced not only by educational attainment, but also by the type of acquired qualifications. Occupational mobility was highest among services and humanities graduates, and lowest among education and health graduates. Moreover, we found no evidence of significant spatial differences in occupational mobility in Poland.

Investigating Social Factors in Linguistic Changes in Afghanistan
Authors: Rahmani Mullajan , Faizmand Mir Ahmad
Published: December 2023

Afghanistan is a multi-ethnic, linguistic and religious country and more than 30 ethnic and linguistic groups live in it, however, the official languages of this country are Pashto and Dari. Hence the unofficial languages of different ethnic groups during time has led to the forgetting of some of them and the predominance of official and dominant languages. Some language changes include administrative, educational and academic formalities, environmental factors, people's lack of awareness of preventing the destruction of the language and its ethnic identity, the existence of civil wars and even foreign political and cultural factors. The languages of a number of ethnic groups like the language of an ethnic group Hazaras, Imaq, Qazalbash, Qirqiz, Arab, Sadat, and Parachi has been reduced and forgotten due to various environmental, political, administrative, natural conditions, forced decisions and motives have caused their language to be forgotten and destroyed. Even the Pashto language, which is the official and national language of Afghanistan, in a large number of localities, regions and provinces where Pashtuns lived, their ethnic language has forgotten. The general factors of this forgetting and changing the language are the marginal status of these ethnic groups among the large ethnic groups, administrative, educational and academic formalities, political and compulsory pressures, civil wars, and the lack of awareness of the people to prevent the destruction of the language and thereby their linguistic and ethnic identity. The purpose of the current research is to investigate and analyze the linguistic changes of different ethnic groups in Afghanistan. Furthermore, the purpose of this research is to introduce the forgotten languages of Afghanistan's ethnic minorities, why and how the languages of small ethnic groups are disappearing, and what should be done? The research method of this article is descriptive and analytical, and the means of collecting library information is the use of articles, books, internet resources and observation.

Mentoring in group-based adolescent girl programs in low- and middle-income countries: Evidence-informed approaches
Authors: Temin Miriam , Blake Sarah , Roca Eva
Published: December 2023

Adolescent girls face distinct challenges that require tailored and girl-centered responses. This brief draws on the knowledge of program implementers and researchers who work on community-based girl group (CBGG) programs (often called “safe spaces”) in various low- and middle-income settings and the US. It summarizes emerging lessons and insights on CBGGs, emphasizing the vital role that mentors play in this group-based model. The evidence emphasizes the importance of providing mentors with training, supervision, compensation, solidarity, and opportunities to build their own networks.
INSIGHTS INTO TRENDS AND CHALLENGES OF THE PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY: THE ROLE OF SCIENTIFIC BUSINESS RESEARCH
Authors: ARAJA DIANA
Published: December 2023

Purpose: As an important player in the healthcare sector, the pharmaceutical industry has received increased attention in the context of the coronavirus disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus (COVID-19) pandemic and medicine shortages. Given the profitability of the pharmaceutical industry, there is a rising focus on business analysis from a wide range of business analysts, as well as consulting and auditing companies. However, the role of scientific research in the analysis of the pharmaceutical industry has been unclear in recent years. Therefore, this study aims to provide insight into the role of scientific business research in the development of the pharmaceutical industry. Methodology: To achieve the research aim, a general review was conducted using Academy of Management journals’ resources, the Web of Science platform, and the Scopus database for the selection of scientific articles. In addition, the views of leading business analysts, as well as consulting and auditing companies, on trends and challenges in the pharmaceutical industry were considered within this framework. Findings: Overall, the trend over the last 15 years has been towards less fundamental research on the development of the pharmaceutical industry. It can be assumed that business analysts, as well as consulting and auditing companies, have taken over this function. However, it is probably the lack of fundamental theoretical research that is one of the determining factors for the uncertain trends and hidden challenges of an outwardly thriving industry. Research limitations: This research provides an overview of trends and challenges in the pharmaceutical industry. In-depth factor analysis is beyond the limitations of this study. Practical implications: This study encourages researchers to focus more on fundamental business research in the pharmaceutical industry, as empirical local market research currently dominates. Originality: The study identified a research gap in fundamental business research on the pharmaceutical industry and proposes to strengthen this research to support the healthcare sector and people’s health. Keywords: pharmaceutical industry, trends, challenges, healthcare sector Paper classification: general review
Jedność małżeńska a rozdzielność majątkowa małżonków. Aspekt kanoniczno-cywilny
Authors: Świto Lucjan
Published: December 2023

W artykule podjęto refleksję nad ważnością małżeństwa kanonicznego w kontekście ustanowienia przez nupturientów dopuszczalnej przez prawo polskie rozdzielności majątkowej, czyli tzw. intercyzy. Analiza norm prawa polskiego regulujących rozdzielność majątkową oraz poszukiwanie analogicznych norm w prawie kanonicznym miało na celu udzielenie odpowiedzi na pytanie, czy intercyza ustanowiona przed ślubem może stanowić wykluczenie jednego z aspektów wspólnoty życia, a tym samym może mieć wartość dowodową w procesie o stwierdzenie nieważności małżeństwa? Przeprowadzona analiza doprowadziła do wniosku, że to nie sama intercyza, ale intencja, z jaką nupturienci ją zawarli, ma znaczenie dla ważności małżeństwa kanonicznego. Podpisanie intercyzy może być niekiedy obiektywnie uzasadnione, słuszne, a nawet wskazane. Gdy jednak intercyza jest wyrazem niechęci do budowania jedności małżeńskiej, może być przesłanką wskazującą na nieważność małżeństwa w kontekście co najmniej trzech tytułów: 1) jako wykluczenie nierozerwalności małżeńskiej (bonum sacramentum), 2) jako niezdolność do podjęcia istotnych obowiązków małżeńskich oraz 3) jako wykluczenie dobra małżonków (bonum coniugum).
GWS: Rotation object detection in aerial remote sensing images based on Gauss–Wasserstein scattering
Authors: Gan Ling , Tan Xiaodong , Hu Liuhui
Published: December 2023

The majority of existing rotating target detectors inherit the horizontal detection paradigm and design the rotational regression loss based on the inductive paradigm. But the loss design limitation of the inductive paradigm makes these detectors hardly detect effectively tiny targets with high accuracy, particularly for large-aspect-ratio objects. Therefore, in view of the fact that horizontal detection is a special scenario of rotating target detection and based on the relationship between rotational and horizontal detection, we shift from an inductive to a deductive paradigm of design to develop a new regression loss function named Gauss–Wasserstein scattering (GWS). First, the rotating bounding box is transformed into a two-dimensional Gaussian distribution, and then the regression losses between Gaussian distributions are calculated as the Wasserstein scatter; By analyzing the gradient of centroid regression, centroid regression is shown to be able to adjust gradients dynamically based on object characteristics, and small targets requiring high accuracy detection rely on this mechanism, and more importantly, it is further demonstrated that GWS is scale-invariant while possessing an explicit regression logic. The method is performed on a large public remote sensing dataset DOTA and two popular detectors and achieves a large accuracy improvement in both large aspect ratio targets and small targets detection compared to similar methods.
From programming-to-modeling-to-prompts smart ubiquitous applications

Since its introduction by Mark Weiser, ubiquitous computing has received increased interest in the dawn of technological advancement. Supported by wireless technology advancement, embedded systems, miniaturization, and the integration of various intelligent and communicative devise, context-aware ubiquitous applications actively and intelligently use rich contextual information to assist their users. However, their designs are subject to continuous changes imposed by external factors. Nowadays, software engineering, particularly in the fields of Model-Driven Engineering, displays a strong tendency towards developing applications for pervasive computing. This trend is also fueled by the rise of generative artificial intelligence, paving the way for a new generation of no-code development tools and models specifically trained on open-source code repositories to generate applications from their descriptions. The specificities of our approach lies in starting with a graphical model expressed using a domain-specific language (DSL) composed of symbols and formal notations. This allows for graphically instantiating and editing applications, guiding and assisting experts from various engineering fields in defining ubiquitous applications that are eventually transformed into peculiar models. We believe that creating intelligent models is the best way to promote software development efficiency. We have used and evaluated recurrent neural networks, leveraging the recurrence of processing the same contextual information collected within this model, and enabling iterative adaptation to future evolutions in ubiquitous systems. We propose a prototype instantiated by our meta-model which tracks the movements of individuals who were positive for COVID-19 and confirmed to be contagious. Different deep learning models and classical machine learning techniques are considered and compared for the task of detection/classification of COVID-19. Results obtained from all techniques were evaluated with confusion matrices, accuracy, precision, recall and F1-score. In summary, most of the results are very impressive. Our deep learning approach used a RNN architecture produced up to 92.1% accuracy. With the recent development of OpenAI Codex, optimized for programming languages, we provided the same requirements to the Codex model and asked it to generate the source code for the COVID-19 application, comparing it with the application generated by our workshop.
Breast carcinoma presenting with upper limb lymphedema — A rare case

Lymphedema (LE) in a breast cancer patient usually results from axillary lymph node dissection, sentinel lymph node biopsy, and/or axillary radiotherapy. Although lymphatic obstruction and consequent LE can occur due to axillary lymph node involvement, such presentation in breast cancer patients has rarely been reported. This report describes the case of a 50-year-old lady with right breast carcinoma who presented with right upper limb lymphedema. Surprisingly, she did not have any bulky axillary lymphadenopathy that could have accounted for lymphedema of the upper limb, but a suspicious breast mass was present on clinical examination. Diagnosis of breast cancer on clinical examination can be challenging in such patients due to breast edema and careful imaging of the breast and axilla with appropriate imaging tools (mammogram, ultrasound, MRI, PET mammography) should be resorted to before excluding malignancy. Lymphoscintigraphy confirmed the findings of lymphedema in the right upper limb and revealed uptake in the epitrochlear lymph nodes of the contralateral limb suggesting that she might had pre-existing widespread “subclinical lymphedema” which presented as “clinical lymphedema” in right upper limb after axillary lymph node/lymphatic involvement by right breast carcinoma.
