Authors: França Sandra Gonçalves Daldegan , Bernardi Renato , Moura Jorge Derick
Published: July 2023

A pesquisa envolve o uso das técnicas e práticas restaurativas que compõem a chamada Justiça Restaurativa, cuja legitimidade é respaldada pelo Sistema Multiportas. Para isso, parte da seguinte indagação: o sistema atual de justiça por si só, tem atendido as demandas da população? Como resposta ao problema, aponta a aplicação da Justiça Restaurativa como um modelo de resolução de conflitos focada na reconstrução das relações humanas cujo objetivo é devolver a autonomia às partes envolvidas, dando-lhes legitimidade para resolver seus próprios conflitos, opção inexistente no atual sistema que tem na figura do Estado o único juiz. Os métodos utilizados foram o descritivo e o explicativo, uma vez que têm a finalidade de descrever e explicar os fenômenos ligados ao procedimento restaurativo, tendo por base a pesquisa bibliográfica e documental.
Divisão sexual do trabalho e os desafios enfrentados pelas mulheres trabalhadoras no Brasil do século XXI
Authors: Moraes da Costa Marli  Marlene , Soares Etyane
Published: July 2023

O artigo discute a influência da divisão sexual nas formas de trabalho feminino e seus consequentes desafios para a consolidação de condições igualitárias no mercado. O problema que orienta a pesquisa: em que medida o patriarcalismo, o conservadorismo e a divisão sexual do trabalho impede as mulheres de alcançar uma emancipação em relação às suas vidas profissionais? A hipótese inicial é a de que as construções sociais fazem com que as mulheres empenhem mais esforços para manterem-se em locais de trabalho com maiores oportunidades, tendo em vista que predomina uma divisão sexual que determina funções distintas para cada gênero, contribuindo para a continuidade da desigualdade. O objetivo geral do artigo é analisar a participação das mulheres no mercado de trabalho e as nuances específicas que evidenciam a desigualdade na sociedade contemporânea. O método empregado na construção da pesquisa é o hipotético-dedutivo, mediante técnica de pesquisa bibliográfica.
A tributação sobre minérios no Brasil: um longo caminho de desoneração sobre nossas riquezas
Authors: Nobre Simone Cruz , Tupiassu Lise
Published: July 2023

O fundamento do tributo é a sua importância como instrumento financeiro à garantia de direitos. Portanto, deste fundamento deriva a razão de sua compulsoriedade sobre as atividades econômicas que demonstrem signos de riqueza e que são produzidos a partir de uma estrutura social consolidada. No entanto, muito se questiona se na extração de minérios a tributação segue essa mesma lógica. Ou seja, o longo caminho percorrido pela exploração de minérios no Brasil enfraquece ou fortalece o discurso? Entender como foi esse diálogo é o primeiro passo para se discutir as possibilidades do uso da receita pública, enquanto instrumento financeiro capaz de fazer a ligação entre a atual e a futura geração. É dentro desta problemática que o presente artigo, utilizando do método documental e bibliográfico, convida o leitor a refletir.
Justiça Intergeracional Climática e a Filosofia do Direito: fundamentos éticos e jurídicos
Authors: Mazon Cassiano , Labruna Felipe , Issa Rafael Hamze
Published: July 2023

O conceito de Justiça intergeracional climática relaciona o uso sustentável dos recursais naturais à ideia de Justiça entre gerações, sendo sua tarefa a de preservar o patrimônio natural entre as gerações. A análise da Justiça intergeracional assume primazia no âmbito do Direito ambiental por vincular todas as decisões coletivas, de modo que os recursos naturais possam ser utilizados de forma a promover o desenvolvimento socioeconômico sustentável para a geração presente, sem comprometer o bem-estar e o acesso das gerações futuras. A Justiça intergeracional climática carrega consigo, amalgamadas, inúmeras questões de ordem ética. Encontramo-nos diante de um paradoxo da democracia constitucional, na medida em que o empirismo sugere que cada geração parece desejar ser livre para obrigar seus sucessores, mas não quer ser obrigada pelos seus predecessores. Este artigo propõe a superação da moral antropocêntrica-individualista kantiana, a fim de que se instaure uma moral ecocêntrica-ambiental, reconhecendo-se uma dimensão ecológica da dignidade da pessoa humana.

Experimental and Theoretical Analysis to Produce Pentagonal Cup in Deep Drawing Process
Authors: Mohsein Zainab H. , Jawad Waleed K. , Abed Aseel H.
Published: July 2023

The manufacturing industry heavily relies on deep drawing due to its remarkable ability to produce intricate symmetrical and asymmetrical shapes with accuracy and efficiency. This research aimed to create a deep drawing tool capable of producing a pentagonal cup measuring 41mm in diameter and 30mm in height. This was achieved by conducting numerical simulations and experimental tests using two different methods. The first method involved converting an 80mm diameter circular blank into a pentagonal cup through a drawing operation, while the second method involved redrawing a cylindrical cup into a pentagonal shape. The study also analyzed the impact of these methods on the drawing load, stress/strain distributions, and thickness distributions. The finite element method software, ANSYS 20, was employed for numerical simulations. The results showed that the first method had a significantly higher punch load than the second method. However, the pentagonal cup produced using the first method had a greater thickness reduction towards the cup wall curvature compared to those produced using the second method. Therefore, the second method was considered ideal for manufacturing a pentagonal cup because it resulted in a lower degree of thinning at the cup curvature and a more uniform distribution of thickness, stress, and strain. In conclusion, this research highlights the importance of deep drawing in the manufacturing industry and emphasizes the need to choose the appropriate forming method to achieve optimal results.

Authors: BAŞARAN Doğacan , KAYA Emrah
Published: July 2023

İran İslam Cumhuriyeti, 1979 yılında gerçekleşen İslam Devrimi’nin ardından kendi kimliğini dinî değerler aracılığıyla tanımlamıştır. Bu da İran’ın çıkar ve tehdit algılayışını şekillendirmiştir. Böylece Tahran, Şii yayılmacılığı olarak da ifade edilen bir stratejiyi benimsemiştir. Bu nedenle de İran, Şii grupları desteklemekte ve diğer inanç gruplarına mensup kişileri Şiileştirmeye çalışmaktadır. İran, Balkanlar politikasında da etkin bir kamu diplomasisi aracılığıyla bölgedeki sufiler üzerinden bölgede nüfuz kurmaya çalışmaktadır. Üstelik Tahran, bu bölgeye ilişkin hedeflerine ulaşmak için zaman zaman terör yöntemleri ve istihbarat operasyonları gibi sert güç unsurlarına da başvurabilmektedir. Ayrıca İran’ın Balkanlar politikası, Müslüman nüfusun yoğunluğuna göre ülkeden ülkeye farklılık göstermektedir. Bu makalede İran’ın Balkanlar politikası, Bosna-Hersek ve Arnavutluk örnekleri üzerinden detaylı bir biçimde ele alınmaktadır.

Published: July 2023

Bu araştırmada, Trigonella mesopotamica Hub.-Mor. tohum, toprak üstü ve tohum kabuğu kısımlarından elde edilen etanol ekstrelerinin antimikrobiyal ve antibiyofilm aktivitelerinin değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Antimikrobiyal aktivite, in vitro mikrodilüsyon yöntemi kullanılarak referans bakteri ve mantar suşları üzerinde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bunlara ek olarak, ekstrelerin P. aeruginosa'nın biyofilm oluşumunu engelleme ve önceden oluşturulmuş biyofilmi yok etme potansiyeli kristal viyole yöntemi kullanılarak belirlenmiştir. Ekstreler, referans antimikrobiyallerle karşılaştırıldığında test edilen bakteri ve mayalara karşı orta ila düşük antimikrobiyal aktivite göstermiştir. Ekstreler ayrıca biyofilm oluşumunu inhibe etme ve farklı minimum inhibitör konsantrasyonlarında (MIC) önceden oluşturulmuş biyofilmleri önleme potansiyeli göstermiştir. Tohum ve toprak üstü ekstrelerinin, tohum kabuğu ekstresine kıyasla daha iyi antibiyofilm aktivitesi gösterdiği belirlenmiştir. Özellikle veriler göz önüne alındığında, toprak üstü ekstresinin sub-MIC'de biyofilm oluşumunu %50 oranında azaltması ilgi çekicidir. Bulgular, T. mesopotamica'nın farklı kısımlarının özellikle antibiyofilm aktivitesi gösterdiğini kanıtlamaktadır. Literatürde ilk kez bu çalışma ile T. mesopotamica'nın antimikrobiyal ve antibiyofilm aktivitesine ilişkin veriler sunulmuştur. Bu nedenle çalışmamız bu türle ilgili literatüre önemli ön veriler sağlamaktadır.
Gıda Gruplarına Göre Gıda Atık Esnekliği; Konya Örneği
Authors: BAYRAMOĞLU Zeki , SUBAŞI Seda
Published: July 2023

Gıda atığı; insan tüketimi için üretilen gıdaların tedarik zincirinde (üretim, hasat, taşıma ve diğer aşamalar) ve nihai tüketim noktalarında amaçlandığı biçiminin dışına çıkan ürünlerin miktarındaki azalmayı ifade etmektedir. Atık miktarları; nüfus, gelir, eğitim, cinsiyet, medeni durum, kültürel yapı, inançlar ve gıda grupları itibariyle farlılık arz etmektedir. İnsanların temel besin ihtiyaçlarını karşılayan gıdalar biyolojik olarak bozulabilir nitelikte olmaları ve depolama olanaklarının sınırlı olması nedeni ile atık miktarını etkileyen önemli bir faktördür. Bu nedenle gıda arz zincirinin kontrol altına alınması ve atık miktarının minimize edilmesi gerekmektedir. Bu doğrultuda gıda atık yönetmeliklerinin takip edilerek atıkların gruplar halinde toplanması ve işlenmesi gereken yerlere en kısa zamanda ulaştırılması gerekmektedir. Oluşan atıkların çöp oluşmasını engellemek ve geri kazanımları sağlanarak hem bireysel hem bütünsel fayda sağlaması amaçlanmaktadır. Atık oluşumunun önlenmesinde en küçük ancak etki düzeyi yüksek grup, hanehalklarıdır. Bu nedenle hanehalkları başta olmak üzere tarım işletmelerinde, hal esnaflarında, perakende sektöründe bilinç oluşturularak atık oluşmasına yönelik eylemler için çalışmalar yürütülmelidir. Bu çalışma kapsamında Konya ilinde gıda grupları itibariyle gıda atık esnekliğinin hesaplanması amaçlanmıştır. Konya ilinde toplamda 1.300.000 insan yaşamakta olup basit tesadüfi örnekleme yöntemine göre belirlenen 270 tüketici ile görüşülmüş ve tüketici gelirleri ile atık miktarları kullanılarak esnekliğin hangi yönde olduğu sonucuna varılmaya çalışılmıştır. Yapılan çalışma içerisinde gelir gruplarına göre atık esnekliği ürün çeşitlerine göre satın alma ve atık miktarlarında azalma ya da artma göstererek esneklik göstermektedir. Esneklik oranlarının önemli bir bölümü pozitif ve 1’den küçüktür. Negatif esneklik gelir gruplarına göre ağırlıkta süt ve süt ürünlerinde görülürken bazı gelir gruplarında da negatif esnekliğe rastlanmaktadır. Atık esnekliğinin yüksek olduğu ürünlerin et ve et ürünleri ile sebzeler olduğu tespit edilmiştir.

Authors: KESKİNASLAN Gülşah Selcen , SARİDAS Mehmet Ali , PAYDAŞ Sevgi
Published: July 2023

Son yıllarda çevre kirliliğini önlemek ve atıkları değerlendirmek amacıyla bitkisel üretim sonucunda elde edilen atıklar ile hammaddesi tarımsal ürün olan fabrikasyon atıklarının tarımsal üretimde toprak düzenleyicisi olarak kullanılması yaygınlaşmıştır. Biyokömür, dünya genelinde bir toprak düzenleyicisi olarak bilinmektedir. Bu özelliği yanı sıra toprakta zengin bir karbon kaynağı olmasından dolayı da kullanılmaya başlanmıştır. Çalışmada turunçgil budama atığından üretilen biyokömürün (%0 - %1 biyokömür), Sabrina ve Fortuna çilek çeşitleri ile 33, 36 ve 112 No’lu üstün özellikleri nedeniyle seçilmiş melez çilek genotiplerine uygulamasının yapraklardaki bazı bitki besin element içerikleri üzerine etkileri araştırılmıştır. Çalışma 2020-2021 yetiştirme sezonunda İspanyol tipi yüksek tünel altına yerleştirilen 3.1 litrelik saksılarda yürütülmüştür. Taze tüplü çilek fideleri, Ekim ayının ikinci haftasında dikilmiştir. Turunçgil budama atıkları 500°C’de 2 saat süreyle piroliz edilmiştir. Deneme bitkileri tarla su kapasitesine göre kontrollü bir şekilde sulanmıştır. Deneme sonunda alınan yaprak örneklerinde makro (N, K, Mg) ve mikro (Cu, Fe, Zn, Mn) elementlerden önemli bazıları saptanmıştır. Yetiştirme ortamına biyokömür uygulamasının yapraklarda K, Fe, Zn düzeylerine olumlu etki yaptığı ve kontrol ile uygulama arasındaki farkın istatistiksel olarak önemli olduğu bulunmuştur. Biyokömür uygulanan bitkilerin yapraklarında özellikle Fe ve Zn düzeylerinin çok belirgin bir artışa neden olduğu dikkati çekmiştir. Yaprak Mg değeri biyokömür etkisiyle kontrole göre çok hafif azalmıştır. Öte yandan yaprak N, Mn ve Cu düzeylerinde ise uygulamalar arasındaki fark istatistiksel olarak önemsiz olmuştur. Azot alımının genotipe bağlı olduğu belirlenmiştir. Sonuç olarak; uygulanan doz miktarını değiştirerek farklı tür ve çeşitlerde denemeler yapılmasının daha yararlı ve hatta pelet şekline getirilen biyokömürü uygulamanın daha pratik ve etkili olabileceği düşünülmektedir.

Toward a Shared Conception of Children’s Content Area Identities in Literacy, Math, and Science: A Systematic Integrative Review
Authors: Wagner Christopher J.
Published: July 2023

The concept of identity has been used to interrogate a wide range of topics about children’s learning in the content areas, including learning in literacy, math, and science. Despite this, there is a paucity of attention to how the construct of identities is conceptualized across content areas. This systematic integrative review aims to develop an empirically grounded view of how identities are conceptualized in childhood across content areas and to consider the feasibility of a shared conception of content area identities. To do this, the review examines 66 articles on content area identities in early childhood and childhood (birth through Grade 5). Findings show diverse theories are used to examine content area identities in children and at the same time significant consensus in the underlying assumptions about what content area identities are and how they develop. These findings suggest that researchers move away from the current siloed approach to content area identity research and toward a more connected field of study.

This study aims to clarify the influence of various factors on the development of traditional textiles, by examining the case of the development of traditional karawo textiles in Gorontalo Province, Indonesia from 1970 to 2020. This study employs a qualitative research method with a historical approach. Data were collected through historical documents, observation, interviews, and a literature review. Data were analyzed interactively with continuous comparisons during and after data collection. The results showed that the development of traditional karawo textiles from 1970 to 2020 can be further divided into three distinct periods: 1970–2000, 2000–2010, and 2010–2020. During each period, karawo textiles were influenced by various factors, both internal and external. The most influential internal factors were the emergence of craftspeople and designers as production bases and continuous innovation. The most influential external factors were the actions of government and commercial institutions. Government policies encouraged individuals and non-governmental organizations to contribute to the development of karawo textiles. Commercial institution influent the distribution and marketing of karawo textile products.  The study also describes the types of factors and their impacts. The study concludes that to ensure the sustainable development of traditional textiles, therefore those internal and external factors must consistently contribute from time to time.

SOX11 is differentially expressed in central nervous system metastasis.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: July 2023

Metastasis to the brain occurs in a significant fraction of patients with solid tumors including breast cancer and metastatic melanoma (1-3). We mined published RNA-sequencing and microarray data (4, 5), comparing primary and brain metastatic tumor transcriptomes for the discovery of genes associated with metastasis to the CNS. We found that SRY-box transcription factor 11, encoded by SOX11, was among the genes whose expression was most different in the brain metastases of patients with metastatic breast cancer as compared to primary tumors of the breast. Study of microarray data (5) revealed conserved differential expression of SOX11 in CNS metastasis in patients with metastatic melanoma. SOX11 mRNA was present at increased quantities in metastasis to the brain in humans with breast cancer. Expression of SOX11 in primary tumors of the breast was correlated with patient overall, distant metastasis-free and recurrence-free survival. SOX11 is a therapeutic target in human breast cancer, in patients with basal-like disease6 and in patients with metastasis to the CNS.

Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: July 2023

Metastasis to the brain occurs in a significant fraction of patients with breast cancer (1-3). We mined published RNA-sequencing and microarray data (4, 5) to compare primary and metastatic tumor transcriptomes for the discovery of genes associated with brain metastasis in humans with metastatic breast cancer. We found that peroxiredoxin, encoded by PRDX1, was among the genes whose expression was most different in the brain metastases of patients with metastatic breast cancer as compared to primary tumors of the breast. PRDX1 mRNA was present at increased quantities in brain metastatic tissues as compared to primary tumors of the breast. Expression of PRDX1 in primary tumors was correlated with patient recurrence-free survival. Modulation of PRDX1 expression may be relevant to the biology by which tumor cells metastasize from the breast to the brain in humans with metastatic breast cancer.

Is there an evolutionary advantage conferred by having a share of conspiracy theorists within a population?
Authors: Squartini Andrea
Published: July 2023

This article is a reflection proposing an ecologically plausible motive and an epigenetically-controlled mechanism to explain the otherwise unexplainable behaviour that leads remarkably consistent fractions of the population to choose totally irrational standpoints irrespective of their level of intelligence or education.It stems from three independent pieces of evidence, each of which is ascertained common knowledge, and which are hereby linked together:#1: A non-negligible rate of the members of every nation’s population takes and keeps positions that are against mainstream opinions, also when such choice turns out to be totally detrimental for their own social life, credibility, employment, and/or health. The massive anti-vaccination coming-out in response to Covid-19 emergency has uncovered the extent of these phenomena and put in evidence the absence of correlation with education level and intellective qualities of people, involving even rather successful and bright individuals as Nobel laureates disregarding their loss of reputation, or top sport players missing chances to win trophies and to maintain sponsored contracts. #2: In biology, a given rate of mutant phenotypes involving a minority of the population, is at the basis of the Darwinian selection process. Although some mutations could affect the fitness of the individuals bearing them, the process can ensure species survival in the unlikely circumstance that a temporally and spatially unpredictable event would occur, for which the mutant trait would result the right match to avoid negative consequences. It is as if, once in a thousand times, an otherwise weird and self-harming choice would result the winning one. And, in order to avoid that all the progeny descending from the survivor would carry the ‘crimpled’ phenotype, in evolved lineages, mutation mechanisms can use epigenetic instead of genetic circuitries, allowing clean genome reset at reproduction. #3: Epigenetics has nowadays been shown to occur also at behavioural level, regulating human neurological expression, affecting social conduct, impulsive actions and connected beliefs.Putting the pieces together, # 2 is the motive and #3 is the mechanism that explain #1.
Stumbling upon indirect self-enhancement in free will beliefs
Authors: Grüning David Joachim
Published: July 2023

Individual self-enhancement is a ubiquitous psychological phenomenon. At first glance, its robustness across contexts would suggest that it also applies to individuals' fundamental beliefs about their capacity for free will. However, direct self-enhancement does not show for individuals' evaluation of their own free will. One explanation is that free will is perceived as a human universal, whereas most other characteristics suspected of self-enhancement are perceived as human traits. However, individuals in the realm of free will still self-enhance in an indirect way, by enhancing those individuals who hold similar free will beliefs. These counterintuitive but profound findings are the result of scientific serendipity and a preceeding excitement about uncovering the unexpected.
Does visual metacognition differ based on perspective?
Authors: Cullen Hayley Joanne
Published: July 2023

Inattentional blindness, the failure to detect obvious and unexpected events when attention is elsewhere, is consistently underestimated. Instead, people overestimate the ability to notice unexpected events in hindsight. No studies have yet determined whether beliefs about noticing unexpected events differ depending on whose visual experience is being evaluated. In the current experiment, one-hundred and forty-eight participants read four vignettes depicting legally-relevant scenarios. Half of participants imagined that they were the individual in the scenario, while the other half imagined that the individual was someone else. Participants rated the likelihood of noticing each unexpected event and their confidence in their judgment. Perspective did not affect likelihood ratings or confidence in isolation, but the effect of perspective on likelihood judgments did depend on the scenario. Additionally, there were differences in likelihood judgments and confidence based on scenario, with participants believing an event would be more likely to be noticed in more relatable legal scenarios (e.g., witness and driving) compared to highly specialized scenarios (e.g., CCTV and medicine). Thus, visual metacognitive judgments do not appear to reliably differ based on the individual being evaluated; instead, features of the scenario may be more important.
Social interaction alters neural representations of self-identity: Evidence of possible neural precursors to social learning

Social interaction requires enough social flexibility to accommodate an interlocutor’s perspective. Our previous research demonstrated that suppression of self-identity may be necessary during a social interaction with a friendly stranger if they have different social values. The present study examines neurobiological mechanisms responsible for suppressing self-identity and entertaining the stranger’s perspective. This study takes a semi-naturalistic neuroscience approach. Eighteen participants underwent an fMRI scan immediately after having a social interaction with a stranger. We hypothesized that pairing of activation in the inferior frontal gyrus (IFG) and dorsomedial prefrontal cortex (dmPFC) because they reflect activation of self-regulation and changes in self-identity. Brain activity in the IFG and dmPFC emerged, supporting our hypothesis and previous behavioral findings, and the precuneus played a key role. Evidence of social learning also emerged, which demonstrated that neural changes may occur before behavioral changes do. These findings suggest that social interaction influences self-identity on a neurobiological level and that neurobehavioral suppression of the social self may be a precursor to social learning. This study is the first to directly compare neural activation associated with active and stable self-concepts in an fMRI scanner after a social interaction. Findings will act as a foundation for future fully-naturalistic neuroscience studies to base hypotheses upon.
The role of working memory capacity in the temporal compression of episodic memories: An individual differences approach
Authors: Leroy Nathan , Majerus Steve , D'Argembeau Arnaud
Published: July 2023

Remembering past events usually takes less time than their actual duration—their unfolding is temporally compressed in episodic memory. The rate of temporal compression (i.e., the ratio of the actual duration of an event to the duration of its remembering) is not constant but varies between individuals and as a function of the structure of events (e.g., the frequency of event boundaries). However, the cognitive mechanisms underlying these variations remain poorly understood. Given its role in the encoding and retrieval of information in episodic memory, working memory (WM) capacity could be an important determinant of temporal compression rates. We tested this hypothesis in two experiments in which we asked participants to watch and then mentally replay short videos showing people engaged in daily life activities. We showed that temporal compression rates depend on an interplay between WM and the structure of the remembered events: individuals' WM capacity (assessed using complex span tasks) were negatively associated with temporal compression rates, but only when the remembered events contained few event boundaries (i.e., few sub-events). This suggests that the temporal compression of events in episodic memory emerges when some of the sub-events to be retained are too long to be fully represented in WM.
The functional role of spatial anisotropies in ensemble perception

The human brain can rapidly represent sets of similar stimuli by their ensemble summary statistics, like the average orientation or size. Classic models assume that ensemble statistics are computed by integrating all elements with equal weight. Challenging this view, here we show that ensemble statistics are estimated by combining parafoveal and foveal statistics in proportion to their reliability. In a series of experiments, observers reproduced the average orientation of an ensemble of stimuli under varying levels of visual uncertainty. Ensemble statistics were affected by multiple spatial biases. In particular, a strong and persistent bias toward the center of the visual field. This bias, evident in the majority of subjects and in all experiments, scaled with uncertainty: the higher the uncertainty in the ensemble statistics the larger the bias towards the element shown at the fovea. Our findings indicate that ensemble perception cannot be explained by simple uniform pooling. The visual system weights information anisotropically from both the parafovea and the fovea, taking the intrinsic spatial anisotropies of vision into account to compensate for visual uncertainty.

The purpose of this research was to explore specific ways in which blockchain can be used in the world of finance and business. Blockchain can be used for global inclusion in the domain of finance. It can be used to remove multiple intermediaries in businesses and also make transactions much more secure and trustworthy. Distributed ledger technology can be used in negotiating value, insurance, reducing transaction costs, contracting for future trading, and setting up new business models. The following establishes the application of blockchain in these fields to improve its existing state. Blockchain can also make central banks reconsider their system. Using smart contracts and autonomous agents transactions can be made smooth and secure for all parties involved.

ROAD TO ECO-ROUTING: A MODEL OF REGULATORY APPROACH FOR THE EU
Authors: Piecha Jacek , Porzeżyńska Magdalena , Porzeżyński Marek , Grzywacz Marek
Published: July 2023

Global warming is of key importance among the many negative manifestations of human impact on the environment. The main cause of climate change and the observed global warming is the emission of greenhouse gases (GHG) into the atmosphere, while the largest share of emissions is generated by transportation sector. It is declared that by 2050 GHG emissions in the transportation sector will be reduced by 90 per cent. In the part relating to road transport, a key role is to be played by digitization, transport automation, the use of intelligent traffic control systems and the abandonment of combustion engines in favour of electric ones. This study aims to present possible legal solutions aimed at introducing eco-routing solutions for vehicle traffic in the EU and obstacles to its widespread implementation and is aimed to begin discussion about this matter and the further studies in this area.
ZNACZENIE DOROBKU WACŁAWA DAWIDOWICZA DLA WSPÓŁCZESNEJ ADMINISTRACJI PUBLICZNEJ
Authors: Suwaj Robert
Published: July 2023

The subject of the study are the author’s conclusions in the context of the assessment of the scientific achievements of Wacław Dawidowicz, juxtaposed with the achievements of modern administrative law, as illustrated by selected examples. In the author’s opinion, they justify conducting comprehensive research on contemporary administrative law, taking into account systemic and structural changes in public administration and its tasks. There is a noticeable need to verify the current scientific achievements within the entire branch of administrative law, or even more broadly – in the context of all legal norms used today to fulfil public tasks. This seems necessary from the perspective Dawidowicz never forgot about, even speaking of the need to restrain the administration from appropriating most of the spheres of social relations. The point, therefore, is to verify whether there are still effective legal instruments to control the surrender to the administration of the possibility to decide on the criteria of disposing of public funds outside the system of statutory norms. Is it possible to effectively verify the legality of allowing the administration to choose legal forms of action in such a way that there is no possibility of an instance-based and judicial review of the legality of those actions. Finally, a negative answer to the above doubts doesn’t lead to a complete negation of the assumptions of the tripartite division of powers and a democratic state of law implementing the principles of social justice.
ROLA ORGANIZACJI MIĘDZYNARODOWYCH W ZACHOWANIU ZASOBÓW MORSKICH. WYBRANE ZAGADNIENIA PRAWNE
Authors: Szewczyk Rafał
Published: July 2023

Starting with the presentation of the acts of international maritime law most relevant to the presented subject, the author describes the history of the development of international organizations and their types. Using a dogmatic and historical analysis of normative acts, he tries to find an answer to the question asked – “Is the preservation of the maritime environment a dominant perspective among the operational goals of states?”. While examining the above issue in relation to the formation and activities of international organizations, the thesis was formulated that “the coordination of efforts of international organizations in matters related to maritime resources and their effectiveness should constitute the core of considerations on the subject of the effectiveness of all kinds of international policies”. The author presents the legal and international approach to the definition of maritime resources and describes the effectiveness of the European Union’s Common Fisheries Policy.
Acute Appendicitis During Pregnancy
Authors: Trevisani Michael F. , Ricci Michael A. , Beck William C.
Published: July 2023

Acute appendicitis is the most common general surgical condition complicating pregnancy. Prompt diagnosis and treatment are necessary to minimize both fetal and maternal mortality. We reviewed 15 patients with suspected appendicitis during pregnancy treated at the Guthrie Medical Center over 11 years (Group I). These patients were compared to a similar group of 59 females of childbearing age (Group II).

Although acute appendicitis during pregnancy is a grave threat to both mother and fetus, prompt surgical treatment, as demonstrated in this series, increases the likelihood of success. Pregnant females present with the same clinical features as non-pregnant females and should receive the same consideration for treatment.
