Viscosity study of maternal and formula milks according to the assessment proposed by the International Dysphagia Diet Standardisation Initiative Model: a comparison with Rheological Assessment
Authors: Hernandez Ana Maria , Berto Maria Isabel , Bianchini Esther Mandelbaum Gonçalves
Published: February 2025

ABSTRACT Purpose The present study aimed to investigate the behavior and the viscosity classification of liquids recommended for infants, up to six months, in Brazil, and their formulations used in Videofluoroscopy Swallowing Studies. Methods Breast milk from different gestational and breastfeeding time, two regular infant formulas, and one anti-reflux formula were evaluated in five different formulations: pure, mixed with liquid barium sulfate, in two proportions (20 and 33%), thickened with a specific thickener for neonates and thickened and mixed with 20% liquid barium sulfate, using the International Dysphagia Diet Standardisation Initiative model. The results were compared with data obtained from a previous rheological study. Results The breast milk samples and the infant formulas, in pure presentation, exhibited similar behavior except for the anti-reflux formula. The thickened samples with the addition of barium and the pure liquid barium sulfate exhibited the highest viscosity among the formulations. The increase in viscosity with the addition of barium occurred for all samples and for the thickened formulations, but not in linear behavior. The results showed minor differences of IDDSI classification compared to the findings obtained in the rheological study. Conclusion The present study revealed the variability of liquid viscosity across different formulations, supporting the idea of the importance of this knowledge in videofluoroscopic assessment. It has also highlighted the risk associated with using a subjective method in preparing the stimuli offered, allowing for greater reliability in diagnosing swallowing dynamics in neonates and infants. This approach may help prevent inaccurate diagnoses and harmful interventions.
Casuistic Use of High-Dose Methylprednisolone in a Child with Acute Encephalopathy due to Metabolic Crisis in HIBCH Deficiency

Published: February 2025

Abstract 3-hydroxyisobutyryl-CoA hydrolase deficiency (HIBCHD) is a rare metabolic disease. Early symptoms include poor feeding, seizures, hypotonia and impaired psychomotor development. Acute metabolic crisis can cause encephalopathy with high risk of neurological sequelae or death. Casuistic, we here report a nine-year old Danish girl with HIBCHD treated with intravenous high-dose methylprednisolone when presenting with encephalopathy during acute metabolic crisis. Presentation of acute encephalopathy with basal ganglia changes seen on MRI was regarded as acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) leading to intravenous high-dose methylprednisolone treatment. The effect of methylprednisolone was profound, not only on the acute neurological symptoms, but also accelerated the development of the child. After re-evaluation of MR images, Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) confirmed the diagnosis HIBCHD. The high-dose methylprednisolone treatment regime was repeated in a following severe metabolic crisis presenting with acute encephalopathy, dystonia and spasticity. The child survived and after rehabilitation neurological sequelae are present but considerably reduced. We consider if high-dose methylprednisolone should be recommended in children with acute metabolic crisis and encephalopathy due to HIBCHD. Since influenza A virus was the triggering cause to metabolic crisis with encephalopathy, vaccination should be considered in HIBCHD.
Trait-based approaches to address animal-soft sediment relationships in marine ecosystem: a mini review

Published: February 2025

Abstract Trait-based approaches have gained prominence in assessing the relationships between benthic diversity, habitat structure, and functioning in marine ecosystems. We reviewed the popular trait-based approaches currently used to evaluate the connections between macrobenthic communities and marine soft sediments. We examined techniques mainly based on response traits (i.e., that reflect animal responses to the environment), including benthic quality indices, metrics of community functional diversity, and biological trait analysis (BTA). We also discussed approaches focused on effect traits (i.e., reflecting the impact of animals on the environment). These approaches also use functional diversity indices and BTA, but specific indices such as community bioturbation potential (BPc) and community bioirrigation potential (BIPc) enable a more direct assessment of the impacts of macrobenthic communities on soft sediment habitats. We highlight the advantages and limitations of these techniques and discuss the need for standardized protocols and improved data collection methods. Despite their limitations, trait-based techniques are valuable tools for marine ecologists because they are closely related to ecosystem functioning and can be used for investigating many hypotheses of animal-sediment relationships in marine ecosystems.

Abstract We describe a new species of the genus Lumbrineris de Blainville, 1828 with material collected in nine diferente locations around the Robinson Crusoe Island, Juan Fernández Archipelago (Lat. 33º 36’ and 33º 46’ S and Long. 80º 47’ and 78º 47’ W) from sandy bottoms, between 4–10 m depth. One hundred seventy-nine specimens were examined. The new species is characterized because M2 have three big teeth and a small distal bump; M3 and M4 are unidentate; composite multidentate hooded hooks reach up to chaetiger 23, with blades of varying lengths, and yellow aciculae. We consider Lumbrineris lanai n. sp. as the only valid species of Lumbrineridae recorded so far in Robinson Crusoe Island. This work contributes to the knowledge of the Chilean insular polychaete fauna and the Lumbrineridae family worldwide.

Published: February 2025

ABSTRACT Objective: To understand the challenges primary health care nurses face regarding their leadership exercise during periods of health crisis in an international border city. Method: Exploratory, descriptive, and qualitative study conducted in the Primary Health Care of a border municipality in the Southern Region of Brazil in 2023. In-depth interviews were conducted with 15 nurses and submitted to Content Analysis. Results: The analysis categories showed that, for nurses, the exercise of their leadership in times of health crisis is affected by the inefficiency of communication between management and the team, highlighting the gaps that compromise decision-making. There is an overload of responsibilities as nurses take on the roles of informal leaders. The difficulties in serving foreigners are due to the absence of clear protocols and the language. Conclusion: Leading in the international border region during health crisis pressures nurses to have the specific knowledge to lead their team.

Land Management for Reducing Bank Erosion: Using AHP Method and GIS Technique: A Case Study in Dibru River Basin, Assam India
Authors: Sonowal Gulap , Thakuriah Gitika
Published: February 2025

The site suitability for land management in reducing bank erosion is an important step towards sustainable development by adopting conservative measures. Land is considered to be very crucial for maintaining an ecosystem which is helpful to sustaining all forms of life. The increasing bank erosion day to day has been one of the common issues in Assam. The present study aim is to identify the sensitive areas of the bank erosion within the Dibru River Basin. Multicriterion calculation was carried out using geographic information system (GIS) technique to help the choice makers in identifying the fit sites of bank erosion. Different parameters which were considered for multicriterion evaluation, ie. landuse-landcover, geomorphology, soil capability, soil texture, slope, and river distances were taken for identifying the vulnerable zones of bank erosion. Analytical hierarchy process (AHP) was used to find the sensitive areas of the bank erosion for land management by weighted sum of different parameters. The suitability site map was classified into low, moderate, and high erosion zone. This map would help implement some preventive measures to mitigate the bank erosion within the Dibru River Basin.

A BANALIDADE DO MAL NAS RELAÇÕES DE TRABALHO: impactos dos Modelos de Gestão Gerencialistas
Authors: Lemonje Julise Carolina , Marques Stenzel Lucia , Raya Amazarray Mayte
Published: February 2025

O presente artigo teórico tem como objetivo analisar a degradação das relações de trabalho nos modelos de gestão gerencialistas descritos por Vincent de Gaulejac a partir da compreensão de banalidade do mal desenvolvida por Hannah Arendt e, posteriormente, relacionada ao contexto de trabalho por Christophe Dejours. Por meio da análise da ideologia gerencialista identificada por Gaulejac – que é acompanhada por elementos como os métodos de avaliação individualizados e a instrumentalização dos trabalhadores –, são tecidas considerações a respeito de práticas de violência psicológica no ambiente laboral. Considerando que a banalização do mal se caracteriza pela supressão da faculdade de pensar e é facilitada pelo medo e por distorções comunicacionais, identifica-se que não é necessário desejar o mal de forma deliberada para ser conivente com a sua execução. Por conseguinte, pretende-se, com a construção do presente estudo teórico, contribuir à compreensão da exploração subjetiva de trabalhadores e da manutenção de práticas violentas e desagregadoras nas relações de trabalho.

Published: February 2025

O objetivo deste trabalho é identificar possíveis expressões de reprodução das relações capitalistas nas famílias de catadores de materiais recicláveis. Para sua realização, foram analisadas entrevistas semiestruturadas com treze catadores associados do município de Caxias do Sul/RS. Seus resultados indicam que a dinâmica da família dos catadores é condicionada pelo trabalho que essa desempenha, devido à morfologia da população sofrer pressões para adequar-se ao movimento do capital. No caso dos catadores, é a catação, enquanto trabalho precário, que tece a conexão entre a geração passada, a presente e a futura, sendo primeiramente como herança e depois como negação. Evidenciou-se que grande parte dos catadores das gerações passadas iniciou na catação junto de seus familiares quando ainda eram crianças, configurando trabalho infantil. Para com as gerações futuras, predominou-se a intenção de romper com a catação tida como herança, evidenciando não só um descontentamento com o trabalho, mas o desejo de superação da catação por parte dos descendentes.

Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine, Sukhovii Oksana O. , Nosok Anastasiia A. ,   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine
Published: February 2025

The article is devoted to the peculiarities of the use and origin of the names of Cossack cold steel and firearms of the 15th – 18th centuries, recorded in historical and chronicle monuments of the selected period. The study used a descriptive method (to identify the semantic content, main features, and variability of words) and a comparative historical method (to establish parallels between the functioning of names in the modern period and the chosen historical paradigm). The material of the study was 39 lexemes for Cossack cold steel and firearms of the 15th – 18th centuries (19 of them for Cossack cold steel and 20 for firearms). To select the names of the weapons, we used chronicle monuments: Lviv Chronicle, Samovydets Chronicle, Ostroh Chronicler, and F. Sofonovych’s Chronicle of the Ancient Chroniclers.

The article highlights the peculiarities of the spoken language of the chosen historical period, recorded in writing, the assimilation or non-assimilation of the peculiarities of the Cossack weaponry, in particular as evidence of the owner’s status or an attribute of the pomp of the events of that time. The study of the chosen thematic group is important for analyzing the evolution of the Ukrainian language and forming a harmonious portrait of a national linguistic personality.
LEGISLATIVE MEANS TO COMBAT INSTRUMENTALISED MIGRATION? – CASE FINLAND
Authors: Hassinen Tuomas
Published: February 2025

The aim of the study is to analyse, how to properly respond to instrumentalised migration by means of legislation – can the state invoke national security to respond to the phenomenon? Is it possible to deviate from international agreements by referring to “fundamental change of circumstances” (e.g. Article 62 of Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties)? The article analyses, as an example, how Finland – a state governed by the Rule of Law – has tried to respond to hybrid operations, such as instrumentalised migration, through legislative means. These include, for example, changes to the Border Guard Act, the Emergency Powers Act and lastly, the Act to combat instrumentalised migration (constitutional enactment), which is in conflict with international obligations (the right to apply for asylum). The article represents legal research, combined with military sciences (military and operational law). First, the article problematizes briefly the question of the relationship between international law, EU law and national law, considering the topic. After this, Finland's national legislative measures to respond to hybrid operations will be presented. Lastly, conclusions shall be summarized. The research indicates that states are even more ready to appeal to their national interests, ignoring their international obligations. This poses a challenge to the sustainability of the international treaty system, requiring a new interpretation of the treaty texts – or changes to the treaties.
STRENGTHENING LATVIAN IMMIGRATION POLICY IN THE CONTEXT OF NATIONAL SECURITY AND GEOPOLITICS
Authors: Kuzņecova Kristīne
Published: February 2025

The international security environment is currently characterised by a growing intensity of conflicts varying in scale. The ongoing Russian war in Ukraine is the largest long-term threat to the Latvia’s security, Baltic region and the entire European security architecture. Latvia’s security underwent several important developments in 2022, as several important decisions were taken to strengthen the security of the Baltic States. On 22 September 2022, the Latvian Parliament supported amendments to the Immigration Law providing for stricter conditions for issuing residence permits to Russian and Belarusian citizens. The Ministry of the Interior, as the leading state administration institution in strengthening the state border, has also implemented several significant measures since 2022 in strengthening the state border, preventing illegal immigration and criminal offences. The protection of the democratic form of government is a generally accepted priority of Latvia, especially in the current geopolitical context; however, it must be concluded that the public's attitude towards several immigration policy issues remains somewhat ambiguous. In 2024, the Constitutional Court passed a judgement on the compliance of the provisions of the Immigration Law with the Constitution in relation to the issuance of permanent residence permits to the citizens of the Russian Federation. In addition, on 20 June 2024, with the decision of the Department of Administrative Cases of the Supreme Court Senate, legal proceedings in the case, in which a Russian citizen requested issuance of a temporary residence permit, were concluded. The aim of the article is to explore the current issues of immigration policy in Latvia and to delve into the perspectives of strengthening the national border in the context of national security and global geopolitics.
USE OF ADVANCED INFORMATION ON PERSONS CROSSING THE STATE BORDER AT AIR BORDER CROSSING POINTS
Authors: Samoilenko Oleksandr
Published: February 2025

Integrated border management is carried out in order to create and maintain a balance between ensuring an adequate level of border security and maintaining the openness of the state border for legitimate cross-border cooperation and for travelers. One of the ways to ensure such a balance is to use advanced information on persons crossing the state border.In Ukraine, four options for border checks procedures execution at air border crossing points were tested. They were executed: at BCP on the territory of Ukraine (standard procedure); on the board of the aircraft during the flight; on the territory of a neighboring state; before the international flights arrival by means of checksng advanced information according to the lists of passengers. The last of the listed methods was determined to be the most effective one.Information about passengers of the flight is collected in two formats: personal data of passengers and crew members and flight details of a specific international flight (API) and a record created by air carriers or their authorized representatives for each international flight booked by or on behalf of any passenger (PNR).So, the implementation of border checks of advanced information according flight passenger lists ensures a high level of organization of interaction with subjects of integrated border management; simplification of border checks and customs procedure for passengers traveling by plane; contributes to reducing the time for conducting control operations, etc.

Published: February 2025

Introduction: Changes in the prostate gland classified as PI-RADS 3 present a clinical situation that necessitates improved diagnostic accuracy and minimization of invasive diagnostic procedures. The exploration of the potential value of texture analysis of MRI images in the diagnosis of prostate cancer is a relevant task in contemporary medical diagnostics.
Objective: The aim of this review is to assess the effectiveness and capabilities of texture analysis in the diagnosis of prostate cancer in patients with PI-RADS 3 changes.
Materials and Methods: This review analyzed articles published in the last 7 years, found in the PubMed/Medline, Google Scholar, Scopus, and E-library databases, using keywords related to texture analysis and radiomics in the context of prostate cancer.
Results: Studies have shown that the application of machine learning and texture analysis significantly enhances the accuracy of prostate cancer diagnosis. These methods enable more precise risk stratification and determination of the actual need for biopsy in prostate cancer, potentially leading to a reduction in the number of unnecessary invasive procedures.
Conclusion: Texture analysis shows considerable potential to improve diagnostic accuracy in intermediate PI-RADS category 3 cases. However, broader clinical implementation requires further research aimed at standardizing methodologies and conducting multicenter clinical trials.
Investigation of Site Amplifications Using Ambient-Noise-Derived Shallow Velocity Structures Under a Dense Array in Oklahoma
Authors: Chang Hilary , Qiu Hongrui , Zhang Zhendong , Nakata Nori , Abercrombie Rachel E.
Published: February 2025

The shear-wave velocity (VS) structure plays an important role in characterizing site amplification. The Large-n Seismic Survey in Oklahoma (LASSO; 1820 stations) revealed large vertical ground-motion variability in a 25 km × 32 km area in northern Oklahoma. The LASSO array has a relatively simple and flat topography, typical in a sedimentary basin environment in the central United States. In this study, we use the dense array to investigate the velocity structure under the LASSO array and how vertical ground motions relate to the shallow-to-deep structures. We extract the fundamental-mode Rayleigh wave by cross-correlating one month of ambient noise (0.7–5 Hz). We use double-beamforming to measure the group and phase velocities and anisotropy. By jointly inverting the group and phase velocities, we obtain the VS structure. We observe correlations between VS at depths of 0.1–1.5 km and vertical ground motions using sites on the stiffer Permian formations. The shallow Quaternary alluvium and terrace deposits can amplify vertical ground motions by a factor of 2–4.5 between 2 and 25 Hz and attenuate signals above 25 Hz. We use 1D VS profiles to simulate the SV-wave transfer functions. An average VS of 250 m/s in the upper 20–40 m may cause the observed amplification between 2 and 40 Hz. VS estimated by topographic slopes cannot predict the relative amplification. Our results highlight the large variability of site-dependent ground motion in a small local region and the importance of characterizing shallow structures to estimate seismic hazards. Small thickness variations of the shallow formation can significantly change the resonance amplitude and frequency, which likely reduces the coherency of the Rayleigh waves extracted from ambient noise.
Mathematical Morphological Filtering with a Self-Adaptive Reconstruction Technique and Application to Local Seismic Data
Authors: Tibi Rigobert
Published: February 2025

Recorded seismic data are generally contaminated by noise from different sources, which masks the signals of interest. In the seismology community, frequency filtering (FF) is the standard method for noise suppression. However, when the signal of interest and noise share the same frequency band, the latter cannot be filtered out without infringing on the former. We implemented a noise suppression approach based on the mathematical morphology theorem. The method involves compound operations of dilation and erosion using structuring elements of varying lengths and decomposes an input noisy waveform into several time functions with differing characteristics. The filtered waveform is constructed from the time functions using a self-adaptive reconstruction technique. Application to a data set of >4700 local waveforms suggests that the implemented mathematical morphological filtering (MMF) approach is efficient for data with low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and significantly outperforms FF in that SNR range. For most of the dataset, FF, machine learning (ML) denoising, and continuous wavelet transform (CWT) thresholding result in higher SNR values compared with the MMF method. However, for ∼42% of the waveforms, MMF outperforms FF, and the SNR gain achieved with MMF is as large as ∼23 dB. Compared to ML denoising and CWT thresholding, this proportion drops to only ∼10%–14%. Our results suggests that in an operational setting, MMF cannot replace the other noise suppression methods; however, signal detection can be improved if MMF is used to supplement them in some scenarios. MMF could help detect signals in problematic low-SNR data, which are currently being missed particularly when using FF alone.

Strategy for Developing the Emotional Intelligence of Student at SMP Muhammadiyah Al-Mujahidin Gunungkidul
Authors: Ghaffarah Linggarati
Published: February 2025

A person's ability to receive positive thinking can play an important role in managing, assessing, solving problems, and controlling emotions in themselves and those around them, which is called emotional intelligence. The objectives achieved by researchers were strategies for developing students' emotional intelligence and identifying supporting and inhibiting factors for the development of students' emotional intelligence at Muhammadiyah Al-Mujahidin Middle School, Gunungkidul. Respondents who supported the research were 2 teachers and 6 students. The research was conducted using a qualitative descriptive research method, which uses data collection techniques through observation, interviews, and documentation. Researchers also used source triangulation techniques and engineering triangulation to increase the credibility of the data. The data analysis technique used Miles and Huberman's theory, which consists of 3 stages: data reduction, data presentation, and data verification. Research conducted shows that 1) habituation, learning, and punishment are strategies used to develop emotional intelligence. 2) Supporting factors in developing emotional intelligence through the role of parents, the role of the surrounding environment, students, and attitude values. Meanwhile, inhibiting factors include the influence of friendship, the indifferent role of parents, and previous violations that students have committed. The existence of this development strategy means that the goals of learning activities can be easily achieved, namely developing students' emotional intelligence into better individuals in terms of thoughts, words, and actions. Apart from that, this research can also be a basis for educational institutions to build relationships with parents for a better future. Apart from development in educational institutions, this strategy can also be developed in the family or community environment so that students can become a superior, active, and communicative generation in the future, and it can also be beneficial for the nation and state.

Published: February 2025

In March 2020, on the “Santa Isabel” farm in Sincelejo, Sucre, with a land use history of over 15 years of cattle ranching, the potential of Tithonia Diversifolia was evaluated. Using the Leopold matrix, a value of -460 identified soil as the most impacted resource. Semi-structured interviews revealed significant information gaps within the local community regarding sustainable soil management. A physical and chemical diagnosis was conducted at the IGAC-BOGOTÁ soil laboratory, selecting apparent density (1.65 g/cm3), real density (2.51 g/cm3), and porosity (34.05 %) as key soil quality indicators prone to compaction. Based on the results of the multi-criteria matrix, Tithonia Diversifolia was chosen as a sustainable alternative to evaluate two treatments over four months in situ: T1 (plant species alone) and T2 (plant species combined with a chemical amendment [lime] and organic fertilizer [stabilized manure]). The study found that in t2, bulk density decreased by 31.33 %, while porosity, field moisture, and ph increased by 53.23 %, 156.35 %, and 21.64 %, respectively. In t1, real density decreased by 8.03 %, and organic carbon content increased by 53.23 %. These results demonstrated the potential of Tithonia Diversifolia for rehabilitating soils susceptible to compaction, reducing degradation risks, and contributing to soil recarbonization strategies.
Major External Public Audit Topics: Combating the Effects of Climate Change on Soil
Authors: Bostan Ionel
Published: February 2025

This paper addresses a very important topic of external public audit in the context of soil protection and the impact of climate change, highlighting its (audit's) significance in the efficient management of natural resources. The analysis revealed a significant impact of climate change on soil health, including issues such as erosion, salinization, and loss of fertility, which underscores the urgent need to implement effective protection and conservation measures. In this context, external public audit, conducted by the Court of Accounts of Romania (and those of other EU states) and the European Court of Auditors, plays a major role in assessing the European Commission's efforts aimed at combating emerging negative effects, thereby contributing to increased transparency and accountability in the use of public funds. The paper reveals that audit activities face major challenges—limited resources, lack of complete data, etc.—and thus recommendations have been made to improve the efficiency of environmental audits.

Developments in digital technologies and the growth of social media networks have brought to the forefront new risks and vulnerabilities to national security, including the manipulation of elections through cyber-assisted means. This article examines at a theoretical level how bots and advanced algorithms are being used to disseminate disinformation, amplify controversial content and influence public perceptions during election campaigns. The study briefly analyzes the mechanisms through which these digital tools exploit the vulnerabilities of social media platforms, with a direct impact on the transparency of the democratic process. The legal implications of these practices are discussed, as well as countermeasures adopted at national and international level. Finally, the article proposes solutions to strengthen the cyber defense capacity of states and protect the electoral process from cyber threats.
Considerations on the Need to Legislate in the Field of Surrogacy
Authors: Terec-Vlad Loredana
Published: February 2025

Through scientific research, humanity transcends the boundaries of its biological condition and the genetic potential of the species, as the evolution of medical technologies makes possible certain modifications of the imperatives drawn by the limits of human evolution (Vlad, 2019). Human creativity is no longer limited to art, but also manifests itself in the scientific field, when scientists decide to no longer submit to species predeterminism, to oppose it, with all the ethical dilemmas that result from this, as well as all the legislative innovations involved. One field that has generated such transformations in recent years is medically assisted human reproduction, in all its forms, as there are numerous medical techniques for reproduction with the help of contemporary medicine, some of which are more controversial than others. Some of these techniques have already entered common medical practice, such as fertility and pregnancy maintenance treatments, while others await ethical validation to be implemented on a large scale. A third category is that of treatments that are still in the experimental stage, such as solo reproduction (Cutaș & Smajor) or cloning (Taylor, 2005).
Aspekt czasownika jako kategoria gramatyczna w polskich i niemieckojęzycznych wydaniach powieści Marka Hłaski „Piękni dwudziestoletni”
Authors: Niewada Michał
Published: February 2025

Celem artykułu jest analiza przetłumaczalności niewystępującej w języku niemieckim gramatycznej kategorii aspektu czasownika na podstawie wybranych fragmentów polsko- i niemieckojęzycznego wydania książki Marka Hłaski – „Piękni dwudziestoletni”. Szczegółowej analizie poddane zostały metody tłumaczeniowe obrane przez tłumaczkę Roswithę Matwin-Buschmann oraz oddanie przy ich pomocy aspektualnego charakteru polskiego czasownika w tłumaczeniu książki na język niemiecki. Poniższy artykuł odpowiada na pytanie, przy pomocy jakich metod tłumaczeniowych możliwe, o ile w ogóle, jest odzwierciedlenie aspektu czasownika w języku niemieckim, który jest jego pozbawiony.

Wpływ zapożyczeń niemieckich na gwarę Górnego Śląska ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem słownictwa kulinarnego
Authors: Tomecka Magdalena
Published: February 2025

Górny Śląsk jest niezwykle ważnym terenem w naszej Ojczyźnie. Od wieków stanowił on łakomy kąsek dla wielu krajów: m.in. dla Polski i Niemiec. Było to spowodowane przede wszystkim dogodnym położeniem geograficznym i naturalnym bogactwem tego regionu. Toczące się nieustające walki między państwami oraz przenikanie się wielu kultur na tym terytorium ukształtowały oryginalną mowę mieszkańców Górnego Śląska, która opiera się przede wszystkim na 2 językach: polskim i niemieckim. Ponieważ Śląsk na mocy traktatu jałtańskiego należy od zakończenia II wojny Światowej do terytorium Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej i jest traktowany jako ważna część bytu państwowego, należy podkreślić, że cały dialekt śląski, a w tym wszystkie wyodrębnione w nim gwary, opierają się na polskim systemie językowym, a występujące w nich elementy z języka niemieckiego są traktowane jako zapożyczenia. Głównym celem badań było skupienie się na zagadnieniu zapożyczeń niemieckich z dziedziny kulinariów, które pojawiają się w gwarze górnośląskiej i które zostały wymienione w „Słowniku gwar śląskich” autorstwa Barbary i Adama Podgórskich. Istotną kwestią było również ukazanie w jakim stopniu słowa z języka niemieckiego występują w owej gwarze i jak przebiega ich proces zapożyczeń.
Challenging the Tropes of Neoliberalism in Discussions of Newcomer Youth in Canada

In this re-examination of empirical data sets, we reconceptualize, from the perspectives of numerous stakeholders, the limits of identity positions available to immigrant adolescents who enter schools in immigrant-receiving schools and neighbourhoods already experiencing racism, intergenerational poverty, lack of social, economic, and cultural capital, and large numbers of English language learners. Research data referenced from three separate secondary schools in this context examined the social integration of English as a second language/additional language students within a variety of school-related contexts, related policies and students’ encounters with them, and students’ experiences of academic segregation and mainstreaming. Our re-reading of data through a lens critical of neoliberalism reveals how educational stakeholders, including students, buy into and replicate specific tropes of neoliberalism, which may be damaging in the long run. We urge educators to re-examine the language we use to describe students who are multilingual learners and that they consequently use to describe themselves.
Environmental benefits of agricultural aviation development
Authors: Nowak Mateusz , Flis Bartłomiej , Sikora Wojciech
Published: February 2025

Currently, there has been an almost complete reduction in traditional agricultural aviation work in Europe. This is due to the increasing efficiency of ground work and the requirements for environmental protection during the use of plant protection products. The article presents issues related to the development of agricultural aviation and precision agriculture, which may contribute to the return of agricultural work to flying objects. Examples of manned and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) are presented, and the environmental impact of agricultural work using manned and unmanned aerial vehicles is estimated based on literature data. It turns out that thanks to the use of modern technology, it is possible to reduce the emission of most exhaust components while meeting the requirements for the use of plant protection products. In comparison to manned aircraft, the use of an unmanned aerial vehicle enables the reduction of CO2, CO and NOx emissions by over 80%, while increasing SO2 emissions by approx. 15%.
The influence of inequalities in electricity access on people's health in Brazil
Authors: Thives Liseane Padilha , Scolaro Taylana Piccinini , Ghisi Enedir
Published: February 2025

In Brazil, there are still areas without access or limited access to electricity, which may be related to precarious health conditions and a lack of information. In this context, this study aims to evaluate the relationship between access to electricity, socioeconomic characteristics, and the health of the population in Brazil. The methodology was based on a survey of socioeconomic characteristics, access to electricity, inequalities, and the population’s health conditions. The relationship between electricity consumption per capita, the average income of the population, and the number of households without electricity was assessed through linear correlations based on data from each region in Brazil. The results confirmed a correlation between the lack of access to electricity and deficiencies in the population’s health level. However, it should be highlighted that access to electricity is only one of the factors influencing public health. In Brazil, disadvantaged populations are more vulnerable to health issues. The North and Northeast regions have the highest number of households without access to electricity and their populations are more affected by diseases. Access to reliable electricity is fundamental for the proper functioning of medical equipment and vaccine refrigerators, as well as for access to health information. To reduce social inequalities among the Brazilian population, investments in infrastructure, such as access to electricity, are needed.
