Methods and Tools for the Evaluation of Occupational Capabilities
Authors: Patagia Bakaraki Myrto
Published: February 2025

Occupational Therapy provides a framework to develop and implement interventions to increase independence and functionality. Through the dynamic interaction between people tasks and environments, we facilitate meaningful participation in daily routines. These routines are categorized into key performance areas, ADLs, education, productive work, leisure, and social participation. Work-related capabilities – specific tasks, skills, and performance patterns – are a fundamental part of who we are and contribute to our health, well-being, and being active in life. The American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA) Framework states that occupational therapists have the expertise to look at the whole person in their environment. This means Occupational Therapy is an evolving profession with a focus on many different aspects of human function. Occupational therapists are to teach skills for functional independence. Theoretical models in Occupational Therapy help to bridge theory and practice by organizing many theoretical concepts into frameworks for designing interventions. These models underpin the assessment and intervention processes used by therapists, guide the evaluations, and inform the therapy.
Determination of the Physical Properties of Male and Female Hemp Plant
Authors: Duran Hüseyin
Published: February 2025

Hemp (Cannabis sativa L) is one of the oldest annual fiber crops cultivated throughout human history. In recent years, the importance of hemp has increased due to its several applications, highlighting its potential for comprehensive utilization across various sectors. Hemp is cultivated primarily for its seeds and fibers. While research on the hemp plant has led to significant advancements, it is seen that the biology of the plant is not sufficiently understood. Moreover, addressing the challenges encountered during the harvesting of hemp for seed and fiber purposes requires further investigation. Studies are also needed to determine plant characteristics in terms of both variety and gender. The study aimed to determine the physical properties of hemp plants. The stems of male and female hemp plants were divided into three sections along their length: lower, middle, and upper regions. Samples measuring 25.4 mm in length were collected from each section, and measurements of thickness, inner diameter, and outer diameter were conducted. The same samples were subjected to axial and lateral compression tests to determine load, elongation, and energy values. According to the results, the thickness of hemp ranged between 2.628-2.347 mm, the inner diameter between 4.452-3.986 mm, and the outer diameter between 9.708-8.861 mm. The results showed that male hemp plants have an increase in thickness, inner diameter, and outer diameter values from the lower to the upper region compared to female hemp plants. The compressive loads in the axial and lateral directions were found to be higher in male hemp plants compared to female hemp plants. Moreover, elongation and energy requirements during axial and lateral compressions showed trends consistent with the load values across the stem samples. The results of this study emphasize the necessity of understanding the physical properties of male and female hemp plants for the effective design of harvesting and processing machinery. Additionally, recognizing the male and female characteristics of hemp was found to play a crucial role in determining appropriate cutting heights and forward speeds during harvesting.

Published: February 2025

Accurate identification of druggable pockets is essential for structure-based drug design. However, most pocket-identification algorithms prioritize their geometric properties over downstream docking performance. To address this limitation, we developed RAPID-Net, a pocket-finding algorithm for seamless integration with docking workflows. When guiding AutoDock Vina, RAPID-Net outperforms DiffBindFR on the PoseBusters benchmark and enables blind docking on large proteins that AlphaFold 3 cannot process as a whole. Furthermore, RAPID-Net surpasses PUResNet and Kalasanty in docking accuracy and pocket-ligand intersection rates across diverse datasets, including PoseBusters, Astex Diverse Set, BU48, and Coach420. When accuracy is evaluated as ``at least one correct pose in the ensemble'', RAPID-Net outperforms AlphaFold 3 on the PoseBusters benchmark, suggesting that our approach can be further improved with a suitable pose reweighting tool offering a cost-effective and competitive alternative to AlphaFold 3 for docking. Finally, using several therapeutically relevant examples, we demonstrate the ability of RAPID-Net to identify remote functional sites, highlighting its potential to facilitate the development of innovative therapeutics.

Published: February 2025

Background Cytotoxic lession of the corpus callosum ( CLOCCs) is a rare disorder of various etiologies that is referred as the transient lesion of splenium of the corpus callosum with usually mild clinical course. Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a one of factors potentially responsible for triggering this abnormality. Case raport: The authors present a case of a 15-year-old girl, so far without any health burden, who suffered from severe CLOCCs, with the etiology of EBV. The patient was admitted to hospital because of hepatosplenomegaly and hypertransaminasemia. Her condition rapidly deteriorated – she had seizures with respiratory failure, needed treatment in PICU. The first MRI (Magnetic resonance imaging) scan showed changes in the hippocampus, in the early control - changes of the nature of CLOCCs; in follow-up studies ( one and three months after the onset of respiratory failure) gradual incomplete regression of changes in the corpus callosum was seen. Clinical condition improved quickly, no seizures during follow-up, no signs of focal CNS deficits Cases of CLOCCs are reported as secondary syndrome connected with many disease en-tities( toxic, infectious, metabolic). Clinical presentation is a spectrum from asymptomatic cases to severe , demanding intensive treatment. The diagnosis is set by MR examination. Conclu-sions: . General prognosis for CLOCCs is good, though normalization of brain MRI can take even several months. MRI being the only method to show CLOCCs has become an imaging gold standard. Still, clinical abnormalities often precede radiological changes, as happened in reported patient.

Public Health Communication Approaches for Building Common Ground
Authors: Chou Wen-Ying Sylvia , Iles Irina A. , Gaysynsky Anna , Klein William M. P.
Published: February 2025

Changes in the information landscape and increasing polarization in society over recent decades have made it more difficult to establish common ground, which poses a profound challenge to effective health communication and public health in general.

We highlight the importance of assessing health communication approaches for their potential to bring people together and reduce polarization. We outline several communication approaches that use existing common ground (e.g., appeals to shared values, shared identity, common goals, social norms) or cultivate common ground (e.g., dialogue to bridge divides, trust-focused communication, efforts to humanize scientists), positing that by furthering common ground, these approaches can serve to increase a shared understanding of contentious health topics and foster greater trust in science and evidence-based health information.

We end by cautioning against the use of approaches that may be shown to be effective on some measures but may also inadvertently create further polarization, such as the use of certain fear appeals, disparaging humor, or stigmatizing language.

Despite initial efficacy of radiotherapy (RT), with or without concurrent androgen-deprivation, in prostate adenocarcinoma (PCa), neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC) emerging from disease progression is a highly aggressive malignancy for which standard therapies are mostly ineffective. Although oncogenic MUC1-C is a leading driver of NEPC and of PCa lineage plasticity, its putative role in response to RT, including RT-induced neuroendocrine transdifferentiation (tNED), has not been explored. We thus aimed to explore the interplay between androgen receptor (AR) signaling and MUC1 in PCa progression to NEPC. Firstly, using a radioresistant PCa cell line (22Rv1-RR) we demonstrated that epigenetic suppression of AR signaling caused MUC1/MUC1-C upregulation, which seems to be activated through γSTAT3. MUC1 activation positively associated with increased expression of neuroendocrine-related markers, including CD56, chromogranin A, synaptophysin and INSM transcriptional repressor 1 (INSM1). In NEPC tissues and comparing to prostate adenocarcinoma, MUC1 was upregulated and negatively correlated with AR, which was suppressed. Finally, proteomic analyses revealed that MUC1 activation upon RT selective pressure led to acquisition of stemness features, induction of epithelial to mesenchymal transition, and enhancement of basal cell-like traits. Notably, MUC1 knockdown (KD) significantly boosted response to RT in both 22Rv1-RR and DU145 cell lines. Moreover, AR-induced overexpression in PC3 cell lines entailed MUC1 downregulation, resulting in attenuated neuroendocrine (NE) traits and radioresistance, as well as impaired cell migration and invasion capabilities. Collectively, these results highlight MUC1 as a promising radiosensitization target and may ultimately help overcome therapy resistance and NEPC progression.

Published: February 2025

Background
Accurate type 1 diabetes prediction is important to facilitate screening for pre-clinical type 1 diabetes to enable potential early disease-modifying interventions and to reduce the risk of severe presentation with diabetic ketoacidosis. We aimed to assess the generalisability of a prediction model developed in children followed from birth. Additionally, we sought to create an application for easy calculation and visualization of individualized risk prediction.
Methods
We developed and refined a stratified prediction model combining a genetic risk score, age, islet autoantibodies, and family history using data from children followed since birth by The Environmental Determinants of Diabetes in the Young (TEDDY) study. We tested the validity of the model through external validation in the Type 1 Diabetes TrialNet Pathway to Prevention study, which conducts cross-sectional screening in relatives of people with type 1 diabetes. We recalibrated the model by adjusting for baseline risk and selection criteria in TrialNet using logistic recalibration to improve calibration across all ages.
Results
The study included 7,798 TEDDY and 4,068 TrialNet participants, with 305 (4%) and 1,373 (34%) developing type 1 diabetes, respectively. The combined model showed similar discriminative ability in autoantibody-positive individuals across TEDDY and TrialNet (p = 0.14), but inferior calibration in TrialNet (Brier score 0.40 [0.38,0.43]). Adjustment for baseline risk and selection criteria in TrialNet using logistic recalibration improved calibration across all ages (Brier score 0.16 [0.14,0.17]; p < 0.001). A web calculator was developed to visualise individual risk estimates (https://t1dpredictor.diabetesgenes.org).
Conclusions
A stratified model of type 1 diabetes genetic risk score, family history, age, and autoantibody status accurately predicts type 1 diabetes risk, but may need recalibration according to screening stategy.
A 3-Phase Electrostatic Clutch with Variable Mechanical Impedance Control for Soft Robotic Systems
Authors: Bae Joonbum , Lee Dongyoung , Yu Heejin
Published: February 2025

Various studies have explored mechanical impedance control strategies in soft actuators to enhance stability and precision, as the nonlinear characteristics of soft materials frequently lead to unwanted oscillations. Among these approaches, electrostatic (ES) clutches have shown promise for achieving friction-based mechanical impedance control; however, conventional ES clutches are limited by issues such as residual charge accumulation and stick-slip behavior, which compromise force stability and reliability over time. To address these limitations, this study introduces a 3-phase ES clutch with variable mechanical impedance control, designed to enable continuous friction modulation and thereby reduce force degradation and oscillatory motion. Experimental validation was conducted through tensile tests and mechanical impedance applications in an MCK (Mass-Damper-Spring) vibration system, where the 3-phase ES clutch demonstrated stable friction characteristics without performance loss over repeated activations. When incorporated into a wearable assistive device, the clutch effectively delivered torque assistance for lower-limb movements, demonstrating its potential to achieve precise control of mechanical impedance in wearable systems. These findings suggest that the proposed 3-phase ES clutch offers a robust and adaptable solution for friction modulation and mechanical impedance in soft robotic and wearable systems, effectively addressing the key limitations of conventional ES clutch technology.
Accurate Prediction of Protein Complex Stoichiometry by Integrating AlphaFold3 and Template Information
Authors: Cheng Jianlin , Liu Jian , Neupane Pawan
Published: February 2025

Protein structure prediction methods require stoichiometry information (i.e., subunit counts) to predict the quaternary structure of protein complexes. However, this information is often unavailable, making stoichiometry prediction crucial for complexes with unknown stoichiometry. Despite its importance, few computational methods address this challenge. In this study, we present an approach that integrates AlphaFold3 structure predictions with homologous template data to predict stoichiometry. The method generates candidate stoichiometries, builds structural models for them using AlphaFold3, ranks them based on AlphaFold3 scores, and further refine predictions with template-based information when available. In the 16th community-wide Critical Assessment of Techniques for Protein Structure Prediction (CASP16), our method achieved 71.4% top-1 accuracy and 92.9% top-3 accuracy, outperforming other predictors in terms of the overall performance. This demonstrates the complementary strengths of AlphaFold3- and template-based predictions and highlights its applicability for uncharacterized protein complexes lacking stoichiometry data.
Bladder endometriosis in a patient with undirected manifestations, a rare case report.
Authors: Alhamid Ahmad
Published: February 2025

Key clinical message
Endometriosis is defined as the presence of functional glands and stroma of the uterus outside its cavity. It affects 10-20% of women of reproductive age. It can form in different body parts; the involvement of the urinary tract is rare (1% of all cases). We report here a case of a 37-year-old woman who presented to the clinic with urinary hesitancy, dysuria, suprapubic pain, and intermittent hematuria for a year, the patient experienced dysmenorrhea, irregular menstruation, dyspareunia, and pelvic pain from three years until now. According to the patient, these symptoms did not follow a specific pattern related to menstruation. The laboratory findings included hematuria and an International Normalized Ratio of 2.5, other investigations were within normal. The radiological investigations revealed a 3 cm mass on the posterior bladder wall extending towards the uterus, raising the possibility of a bladder mass or a uterine mass involving the bladder. Many differential diagnoses were made such as uterine mass, bladder neoplasm, bladder endometriosis, foreign body, and sarcoma. The surgical approach was indicated to excise the mass and know its nature. A solid mass was found on the posterior wall of the bladder, it was excised. The patient was discharged from the hospital after two days in a good situation and without complications. The histopathological examination of the excised masse revealed benign endometriosis. She was followed for two years postoperatively without any recurrence.

Published: February 2025

This study aims to investigate the changing patterns of the burden for atrial fibrillation (AF) /atrial flutter (AFL) attributed to high systolic blood pressure (SBP) in China. Data were sourced from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2021 project. The disease burden of AF /AFL attributed to high SBP in China from 1990 to 2021 was analyzed stratified by sex and age, along with the trend prediction from 2022 to 2050. In China, between 1990 and 2021, the age-standardized mortality rate (ASMR) and the age-standardized disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) rate (ASDR) of AF/AFL attributable to high SBP in male have been increasing, and the trend will continue till 2050, whereas in female, the trend is slightly downward. Globally, however, the disease burden according to the estimated annual percentage changes (EAPC) of ASMR and ASDR presents a deducing trend in both genders between 1990 and 2021. The main driver of the increased DALY burden for AF /AFL attributed to high SBP is population aging. In China, the disease burden of AF/AFL attributable to high SBP in male has been increasing between 1990 and 2021 and keeps an upward trend till 2050, whereas in female, the trend is slightly downward. Our research implies that the public health decision-making needs to give sufficient attention to alleviate the burden of AF /AFL attributable to high SBP in China by promoting awareness, treatment, and controlling rates of hypertension, especially in male.

Published: February 2025

Background
India is experiencing a rising prevalence of hypertension and diabetes, which often coexist and significantly contribute to non-communicable diseases (NCDs) burden. This study examines the sex-stratified prevalence, coexistence, and bidirectional risks of hypertension and diabetes across states with varying epidemiological transition levels (ETL) and identifies the high-burden hotspots.
Methods
This study analysed data from the fifth round of the National Family Health Survey, covering 614,426 women and 556,199 men aged 30 and above, with biomarker information on both diabetes and hypertension. Age-standardized prevalence was estimated, and adjusted risk ratios (ARR) were obtained on multivariate logit scale. Spatial autocorrelation and hotspot analyses were conducted using ArcGIS Pro to identify geographic clusters of twin epidemics.
Results
Hypertension prevalence was 30.3% (95%CI:30.14–30.48) among men and 28.6% (95%CI: 28.47–28.79) among women, whereas diabetes prevalence was at 19.7% (95%CI: 19.58–19.88) in men and 17.4% (95%CI 17.22–17.50) in women. Among individuals with diabetes, 43.1% (95%CI:42.67–43.53) of men and 43.9% (95%CI:43.48–44.36) of women had hypertension, while 28.1% (95%CI:27.75–28.37) of hypertensive men and 26.6% (95%CI: 26.33–26.93) of hypertensive women were diabetic. Hotspots for the twin epidemic of hypertension and diabetes were identified in coastal regions, including the southern states with high ETLs, as well as the northern states with high-ETLs and the northeastern region of the country. ARR estimates revealed that the risk of hypertension among individuals with diabetes was 39% higher (95% CI: 1.38–1.40) in men and 41% higher (95% CI: 1.39–1.42) in women as compared to individuals without diabetes. Similarly, the risk of diabetes among individuals with hypertension was 51% higher (95% CI: 1.49–1.52) in men and 55% higher (95% CI: 1.53–1.57) in women as compared to individuals without hypertension.
Conclusion
Our findings indicate that the presence of one condition significantly heightens the risk of developing the other, posing a major public health challenge in India, with marked geographic disparities. Achieving SDG target 3.4—reducing premature NCD mortality by one-third—requires addressing these intersecting epidemics as a unified entity for effective management. Targeted interventions should prioritise high-burden hotspots for integrated care strategies to mitigate the twin epidemics of diabetes and hypertension.
A Dynamic Weighted Fusion Model for Multimodal Sentiment Analysis
Authors: Yang Liang
Published: February 2025

Multimodal sentiment analysis (MSA) tasks leverage diverse data sources, including text, audio, and visual data, to infer users' sentiment states. Previous research has mainly focused on capturing the differences and consistency of sentiment information between different modalities, emphasizing cross-modal interaction, while neglecting the in-depth exploration of sentiment information within individual modalities. Additionally, existing MSA methods rarely examine the contribution of each modality to model performance. To address these issues, our paper proposes a dynamic weighted fusion model for multimodal sentiment analysis. Specifically, we first design a multi-level semantic enhancement module (MLSE) for each single mode, which replicates three copies of each mode, captures local and global emotional information using convolutional neural networks and attention mechanisms, and aims to extract semantic information from multiple perspectives and levels in a single mode. Subsequently, we design a genetic algorithm module suitable for multimodal sentiment analysis tasks, which dynamically calculates the optimal weight of each modality during model training and selects the modality with the maximum weight as the primary modality, while the other two are considered as auxiliary modalities. We conduct extensive experiments on three benchmark datasets (CMU-MOSI, CMU-MOSEI and CH-SIMS), and the results demonstrate that our proposed model outperforms state-of-the-art models across various metrics.
Unveiling the Complex Drivers of Particulate Matter in Saudi Arabia: Employing Machine Learning and Source Apportionment
Authors: Munir Said
Published: February 2025

Saudi Arabia's arid and semi-arid climatic conditions, characterized by limited rainfall and frequent sand and dust storms, lead to high background levels of atmospheric particulate matter (PM). As a result, PM is the primary pollutant of concern in Saudi Arabia affecting human health, ecosystems, and infrastructure. This study offers an innovative approach by combining advanced machine learning techniques with source apportionment methods to reveal underlying drivers of PM10 and PM2.5 levels across diverse sites in the Kingdom. The analysis revealed that PM10 and PM2.5 levels frequently exceeded air quality standards set by national and international organizations. Using PM2.5/PM10 ratios, PM sources were categorized as anthropogenic, dust storms, and mixed. On average, dust storms, anthropogenic sources, and mixed sources contributed 4%, 6%, and 90%, respectively. Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) models were developed for several sites, where PM10 was used as a modelled variable and PM2.5, WS, WD, NO, NO2, temperature, relative humidity, and atmospheric pressure as predictors. The contribution of each predictor was evaluated, among meteorological parameters wind speed demonstrated the highest contribution followed by relative humidity. Wind speed was found to positively correlate with particulate levels, which highlighted its vital role in resuspending and transporting dust particles from deserts, and elevating dust pollution in urban areas. Overall, NO and NO2 had a weak impact on PM10. Considering NO and NO2 as a surrogate for anthropogenic activities, especially for road traffic, we can conclude that the contribution of anthropogenic activities was minimal in controlling the levels of PM10. Considering the dominant role of meteorology, it is concluded that overall, the contribution of anthropogenic sources to PM is limited in Saudi Arabia and that a major fraction of PM comes from natural sources dominated by meteorological parameters, which should be excluded while assessing compliance with health threshold.

The Perception and Visibility of the State on the Island of Žirje, Croatia
Authors: Peternel Lana , Perinić Lewis Ana
Published: February 2025

Žirje is the most remote island in Croatia’s Šibenik archipelago. Due to long- lasting historical isolation for military reasons, the gradual reduction of agriculture and low capacities for tourism, the island is losing its socio-economic vitality. In qualitative research, islanders emphasised their conceptualisation of the state as the central actor when describing economic, demographic and ecological challenges and advocated for strong interventionism in revitalisation and development projects. This analysis is based on three topics that illustrate a layered relationship between the islanders and the state. The first level of analysis is the role of the state towards the development and maintenance of public infrastructure; the second is the relationship of islanders towards the existing legal framework and public law; and the third is the analysis of the active connection of the local population to state public institutions and community on the Žirje. For locals, the state is an emotionally charged presence characterised by disappointment and frustration yet coupled with a persistent hope for benevolent intervention to address their challenges.

ROLA I ZADANIA SAMORZĄDU GMINNEGO W ZAPEWNIENIU BEZPIECZEŃSTWA KLIMATYCZNEGO WSPÓLNOCIE LOKALNEJ
Authors: Kisilowska Helena
Published: February 2025

Jako tezę badawczą artykułu przyjęto, że aktualny stopień zagrożenia bezpieczeństwa związany z globalnym ociepleniem wymaga, poza aktywnymi działaniami państwa i organizacji międzynarodowych, również aktywnej działalności samorządów miast i gmin, co nie znajduje właściwego zrozumienia zarówno w podejściu ustawodawcy, jak i administracji rządowej, a także, co może dziwić, organizacji ekologicznych. Szczególna rola przypada tu systemowi planowania i zagospodarowania przestrzennego, który ustawowo powinien gwarantować wspólnotom lokalnym rzeczywistą możliwość wpływania na ochronę środowiska i klimatu. Istotnym elementem staje się współpraca miast i gmin i wspólne podejmowanie działań na rzecz ochrony klimatu. Konieczne jest opracowanie, wzorem innych państw, ustawy klimatycznej, w której samorząd lokalny powinien być traktowany jako istotny partner, a nie wykonawca poleceń rządowych. Właściwą rolę należy przyznać prawu miejscowemu, stwarzając możliwość pogodzenia interesów lokalnych z szerszym interesem publicznym.
STANDARDY KSZTAŁCENIA A ROZWÓJ KOMPETENCJI CYFROWYCH
Authors: Zbarachewicz Beata
Published: February 2025

Przedmiotem artykułu jest analiza przepisów powszechnie obowiązujących szkoły wyższe dotyczących standardów kształcenia. Kształcenie studentów jest jednym z podstawowych zadań statutowych, jakie realizują uczelnie, i prowadzone jest na kierunkach studiów w oparciu o programy studiów. W artykule przedstawiono podejście do standardów kształcenia i zmiany w przepisach dotyczących kształcenia w szkołach wyższych w odniesieniu do standardów kształcenia. Od definicji standardu kształcenia w ustawie z 27 lipca 2005 r. – Prawo o szkolnictwie wyższym i katalogu kierunków studiów określonego rozporządzeniem Ministra Nauki i Szkolnictwa Wyższego z 12 lipca 2007 r. w sprawie standardów kształcenia dla poszczególnych kierunków oraz poziomów kształcenia po zmiany wprowadzone w 2011 r. nadające uczelniom autonomię programową. Ustawa z 20 lipca 2018 r. – Prawo o szkolnictwie wyższym i nauce utrzymuje autonomię w zakresie tworzenia kierunków studiów i programów studiów dla uczelni z kategorią naukową A+, A i B+.
Absolwenci szkół wyższych, niezależnie od kierunku studiów, wchodząc na rynek pracy, powinni być wyposażeni w kompetencje zawodowe, ale również w uniwersalne kompetencje cyfrowe, dotyczące cyberbezpieczeństwa, ochrony danych osobowych oraz wykorzystania nowych technologii w nauce i pracy. Kompetencje z obszaru cyfryzacji są potrzebne osobom z wykształceniem technicznym, ale i humanistom oraz przedstawicielom nauk społecznych. Studenci wszystkich kierunku studiów są grupą, w której rozwój kompetencji cyfrowych powinien być podporządkowany przyszłej specjalizacji i wybranej ścieżce kariery zawodowej. W przepisach powszechnie obowiązujących brak jest wskazania minimalnych wymagań dla kadry dydaktycznej szkół wyższych, w tym z edukacji informatycznej i posługiwania się technologią informacyjno-komunikacyjną.
Analizując stan prawny, można postawić pytanie, czy obecne przepisy dotyczące prowadzenia kształcenia przez szkoły wyższe uwzględniają obowiązek rozwijania kompetencji cyfrowych w ramach proponowanych przez uczelnie programów studiów.
UDZIAŁ OBROŃCY W PRZESŁUCHANIU BIEGŁEGO
Authors: Koczur Joanna
Published: February 2025

Przedmiotem niniejszego artykułu jest omówienie kwestii udziału obrońcy w czynności przesłuchania biegłego w trakcie rozprawy. Obrońca – jako „kontroler jakości” materiału dowodowego w procesie karnym – powinien każdorazowo aktywnie uczestniczyć w czynności przesłuchania biegłego podczas rozprawy. Po wnikliwej analizie pisemnej opinii biegłego może on – poprzez odpowiednio dobrane pytania skierowane w toku rozprawy do biegłego – przyczynić się między innymi do zdyskredytowania nieprawidłowo (błędnie) wydanej na niekorzyść klienta opinii, a równocześnie do zwiększenia efektywności wykorzystania dowodu z opinii biegłego w procesie karnym oraz do należytej oceny tego dowodu przez decydentów procesowych.

Współcześnie występują zagrożenia przejawiające się w nieuprawnionym pozyskiwaniu danych osobowych oraz danych dotyczących nieruchomości, które zawartesą w księgach wieczystych. Zapobieganie takim ryzykom staje się tym trudniejsze,im więcej informacji zostało wpisanych w jawnie prowadzonych księgach wieczystych dających rękojmię ujawnionych w nich treści.
W takich uwarunkowaniach wyzwaniem dla administracji staje się wspólne z wymiarem sprawiedliwości umożliwienie ochrony treści ksiąg wieczystych i dokumentów dołączonych do ich akt, a jednocześnie zapewnienie powszechnego dostępu do ksiąg wieczystych jako gwaranta obrotu nieruchomościami.
PROBLEMATYKA UJĘCIA OBYWATELSKIEGO W KONTEKŚCIE DZIAŁALNOŚCI ORGANIZACJI TZW. ŁOWCÓW PEDOFILÓW
Authors: Dębicki Jakub
Published: February 2025

Instytucja ujęcia obywatelskiego została wprowadzona do polskiej procedury karnej jako wyjątek dający obywatelom możliwość zatrzymywania sprawców popełniających przestępstwa, z zachowaniem ustawowych wymogów. Z takiego prawa korzystają w ramach prowadzonej działalności również osoby znane powszechniej jako „łowcy pedofilów”. Nie pomijając szlachetnego celu, takie zatrzymania mogą stanowić ryzyko naruszeń procesowych. Niniejsza publikacja została poświęcona przedstawieniu przez autora wątpliwości związanych z wypełnieniem ustawowych przesłanek przez organizacje tzw. łowców pedofilów w trakcie dokonywania zatrzymania w drodze ujęcia obywatelskiego osób nawiązujących relacje z osobami poniżej 15. roku życia, za pośrednictwem portali internetowych w celu wykorzystania seksualnego osoby małoletniej.
KWESTIA RÓWNOUPRAWNIENIA MAŁŻONKÓW W KOLEJNYCH WERSJACH PROJEKTU PRAWA MAŁŻEŃSKIEGO MAJĄTKOWEGO AUTORSTWA KAROLA LUTOSTAŃSKIEGO
Authors: Glück Michał
Published: February 2025

Okres międzywojnia stanowił czas wielu przemian społecznych na tle równościowym zarówno w Polsce, jak i w Europie. Działająca wówczas Komisja Kodyfikacyjna Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej miała stworzyć regulacje w obrębie prawa majątkowego małżeńskiego, odpowiednio dostosowane do ówczesnej sytuacji społeczno-ekonomicznej. Szczególną rolę w procesie tworzenia tych regulacji odegrał Karol Lutostański. Jest autorem kolejnych wersji projektu prawa małżeńskiego majątkowego, nad którymi pracowano od 1934 r. Nowe spojrzenie na kwestię ewolucji poglądów w toku prac podkomisji umożliwia odnaleziony ostatnio maszynopis, który zawiera przepisy projektu prawa małżeńskiego majątkowego wraz z poprawkami wprowadzonymi w drugim czytaniu projektu przez podkomisję w latach 1938-1939. Niniejszy artykuł ma na celu analizę zmian w regulacji rządów majątkowych zaproponowanych przez podkomisję w drugim czytaniu trzeciej wersji projektu z 1937 r., z pozostałymi wersjami projektu, a tym samym ocenę kierunku wprowadzonych zmian z punktu widzenia tendencji równościowych.
PRZEKAZANIE SPRAWY INNEMU SĄDOWI RÓWNORZĘDNEMU ZE WZGLĘDU NA DOBRO WYMIARU SPRAWIEDLIWOŚCI W ŚWIETLE NOWELIZACJI KODEKSU POSTĘPOWANIA KARNEGO Z 7 LIPCA 2022 R.

Published: February 2025

Przedmiotem niniejszego artykułu jest analiza nowego brzmienia regulacji przekazania przez Sąd Najwyższy sprawy innemu sądowi równorzędnemu ze względu na dobro wymiaru sprawiedliwości opisanej w art. 37 k.p.k. Ustawodawca zdecydował się na gruncie tego przepisu poszerzyć krąg podmiotów, które mają możliwość zainicjowania trybu opisanego w art. 37 k.p.k. Obecnie bowiem, oprócz sądu właściwego do rozpoznania sprawy, taką kompetencję ma także prokurator poprzez złożenie stosownego wniosku. Jednocześnie w podobne uprawnienie nie zostały wyposażone, oprócz prokuratora, pozostałe strony postępowania. Celem artykułu jest uargumentowanie, że komentowana zmiana legislacyjna była pozbawiona merytorycznych podstaw do jej wprowadzenia, a w konsekwencji spowodowała także powstanie wielu wątpliwości związanych w głównej mierze z zaburzeniem zasady równości stron postępowania.
