Published: September 2024

In the present work, we investigated the influence of the toxic vapors (ammonia, chloroform, tetrahydrofuran, dimethylformamide, nitrobenzene, toluene) on the specific resistance, optical absorption, and structure of conducting polymer poly-o-toluidine (PoT) obtained by oxidative polymerization of o-toluidine in toluene sulfonic acid (TSA) solution. This polymer has a high level of crystallinity and is thermal stable to 473 K (200 0C). The action of organic solvent vapors causes an increase in PoT-TSA resistance by 1.3-1.4 times, while after the action of ammonia, the resistivity increases almost 500 times. The activation energy of charge transfer Ea also increases from 0.21 to 0.71 eV under the action of ammonia due to the deprotonation of the polymer and its transformation to the resistive base form. When the organic solvents are used, the observed phenomena have a different direction (resistance increase or decrease) due to the peculiarities of polymer-solvent molecular interaction. This phenomenon may be used for selective detection of solvents.

This study focuses on the surface structures and microstructural changes of titanium dioxide nanotubes, when electrochemically coated with platinum and/or palladium. Ti samples anodized in a fluorine-containing electrolyte exhibit self-organized nanotubes of varying diameters with open pores. Annealing at 773 K led to compaction of the porous layer, the formation of cracks, and the appearance of corrugation in the nanotubes. The deposition of platinum produced a transition from a nanotubular surface structure to a microcrystalline structure consisting of rutile crystallites. The palladium-coated samples showed fused blocks characteristic of titanium suboxides. The tubular structure was preserved, even after crystallization. SEM images revealed a comb-like pattern in coatings with varying metal content. XRPD analysis confirmed the presence of anatase and elemental titanium. PdO was detected on the surface of the thermally treated samples. For samples co-treated with Pd and Pt, mutual diffusion of the two metals took place during the heat treatment. The findings reveal surface characteristics, metal deposition effects, and phase composition of titania nanotubes, providing valuable insights for further research.

Published: September 2024

The materials for medical application are normally consisted of metal, ceramic, and polymer. Each material has its own limitations such as corrosion in metal, the brittleness of ceramic, and the high temperature problem of polymer. To eliminate their weakness, combining one or more respective materials are encouraged, which termed as composite. One of the emerging composite materials that can be utilized in medical application are geopolymer, which is an inorganic polymer material consisted of aluminosilicate sources such as metakaolin and sol-gel synthesized material and alkali activator consisted of strong alkali hydroxide and sodium silicate solution. This review paper elaborated the raw materials, alkali activators, and admixture for geopolymer, and the application of geopolymer-based material for medical purposes. We also discuss the prospective and challenges of geopolymer for the medical field. The adjustable strength and porosity make this material versatile for coating substrates to become bone scaffold material. However, the concern remains about the leaching and high alkalinity of geopolymers. This could be improved by reducing the molarity of sodium hydroxide and mixing geopolymer with compounds to trap the harmful leachate agent inside and studying different solutions for the activation of geopolymer.

The development of room temperature ferromagnetic property (RTFM) in TM doped SnO2 has potential application in the field of spintronic, recently attracted attention. This material exhibits exceptional chemical stability, demonstrates N-type behavior with a high carrier density, and remarkably displays long-range ferromagnetic properties. However, the mechanism behind this ferromagnetic property (FM) is still not fully understood. Numerous surveys of the literature have indicated that factors such as the presence of oxygen vacancies, defects, type and concentration of dopants, temperature, and methods used for sample preparation have a notable impact on the performance of FM.  Here we reviewed the FM mechanism which is noticed in Iron, Nickel, Manganese doped Tin dioxide material both experimental and computational method.
Caracterización de experiencias significativas de educación ambiental en Colombia: Un análisis descriptivo de la identificación de tendencias para el desarrollo sustentable
Authors: Brausin Cortés Julian Santiago
Published: September 2024

The current environmental crisis, resulting from humanity's subjugation and domination of nature, has significantly contributed to the decline of ecological biodiversity worldwide. In the case of Colombia, the main causes of biodiversity loss include land-use changes, urbanization, among others. This underscores the urgent need to strengthen environmental education (EE) in the country to promote a sustainable environmental culture in harmony with nature. Accordingly, this research aims to characterize environmental education experiences in Colombia based on the database "Experiencias significativas de Educación Ambiental – Listado Minambiente" Data processing was conducted using the statistical software STATA, with the goal of identifying educational trends related to environmental issues at the national level. The results reveal progress in the field of EE, highlighting a higher proportion of initiatives that adopt a naturalistic teaching model. Likewise, there is a prevalence of institutional initiatives over community ones. The results suggest that community initiatives tend to align with a systemic teaching model, while institutional initiatives prioritize the naturalistic perspective. Additionally, it was observed that community participation is sometimes conditioned by sectoral and non-sectoral entities in the country. Finally, the conclusions reaffirm the need for Colombian institutions to continue working on appropriate environmental education indicators that allow for the measurement and dissemination of EE experiences at the national level. Furthermore, the importance of strengthening systemic EE models is emphasized, as they promote the social re-appropriation of the environment through cultural changes.

Published: September 2024

Rhododendron molle is a deciduous rhododendron, a high-altitude plant prized for its medicinal and ornamental properties. A major challenge when introducing this plant to lower altitudes is understanding its response to high-temperature stress. Using transcriptome analysis, this study examined leaves under varying temperatures, identifying 344,593 transcripts, 124,901 Unigenes, and 12,089 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) at 36 °C high-temperature stress (ST). At 42 °C high-temperature stress (SY), 12,032 DEGs were found, indicating a significant impact of temperature on gene expression. A Gene Ontology analysis (GO) revealed that these DEGs are mostly involved in stress response, catalytic activity, binding, transporter activity, and immune processes. A Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis highlighted enrichment in pathways such as plant-pathogen interaction and spliceosomes, suggesting their key roles in the temperature stress response. Key genes such as Brassinosteroid-Insensitive 1-Associated Receptor Kinase (BAK1) and Pathogenesis-Related Gene Transcription Activation Factor (PTI6) were upregulated under ST stress, whereas heat shock proteins (HSP83A) and HSP90-1 were downregulated under SY. These findings offer insights into the molecular response of Rhododendron molle to high temperature, aiding further research in this area and potentially improving the plant’s cultivation and application.

Published: September 2024

With the acceleration of urbanization, while the amount of fertilizers used in agricultural production is increasing rapidly in industrial development, heavy metal pollution is also becoming more severe. Excessive use of fertilizers can lead to soil acidification, compaction, and degradation, while the sharp increase in heavy metal pollution observed also has adverse effects on soil quality and crop quality. Therefore, to prevent the loss of phosphorus from soil, improve the utilization rate of nitrogen in soil, and control cadmium pollution, the effects of biochar on the adsorption of nitrogen, phosphorus, and cadmium in soil were explored in this study. The following four experimental treatments were conducted: no biochar application, straw charcoal application, fruit shell charcoal application, and coconut shell charcoal application. Samples were collected from different soil depths (0 cm and 10 cm) after both 14 days and 28 days. The contents of total nitrogen, phosphorus, and cadmium were compared. The research findings indicate that these three types of biochar exhibit significant adsorption effects on nitrogen and phosphorus elements. Nevertheless, the adsorption effect on cadmium is not pronounced, potentially due to the stability of the biochar, the activity of microorganisms in the soil, and the alteration of cadmium speciation, which consequently results in an increase in cadmium content.

Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD), a rare disorder, is genetically varied. Mutations in proteins involved in the structure, function, or assembly of cilia are known to determine situs inversus, male infertility, and chronic destructive airway disease. PCD is inherited by an autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance in most cases. Nonetheless, patterns of autosomal dominant and X-linked inheritance have been mentioned. A history of recurrent upper and lower respiratory tract infections raised clinical suspicion of primary ciliary dyskinesia in a 10-year-old patient. Genetic tests were performed using next-generation sequencing technology (Illumina NextGen) with the multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification technique for primary ciliopathies and syndromes subject to differential diagnosis. Genetic testing identified two pathogenic variants, not previously associated with a case report in the literature, c.7727A>G (p.Asp2576Gly) and c.8578G>A (p.Gly2860Ser), within the DNAH11 gene, which is associated with autosomal recessive PCD. The result also reported mutations in other genes involved in autosomal recessive PCD (DNAH8, DNAH9 and ZMYND10), which were classified as variants with uncertain clinical significance. Transmission electron microscopy of respiratory cilia and nasal nitric oxide measurement cannot be used to diagnose PCD in patients with DNAH11 mutations because the structure of cilia is normal, and the levels of NO are not constantly low. High-speed video microscopy analysis can be helpful because DNAH11 mutations cause a distinct phenotype of PCD. Nevertheless, the mutation analysis of various PCD-causing genes remains the easiest to conduct and with good results. Genetic research on PCD has identified a number of significant ciliary genes in recent years, offering fresh perspectives on the molecular processes underlying cilia assembly and function. This facilitates the development of new methods for the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of PCD. However, because it is a highly complex and heterogeneous disease, the field of gene diagnosis and therapy in PCD is still in its infancy.

In rapidly ageing societies, caring and responsibilities for parents in old age is a widely discussed topic. This is particularly relevant in societies with low fertility and high rates of childlessness. Lithuania is one of the countries where demographic ageing rates have risen sharply in a short period of time. This process has been driven not only by low fertility but also by emigration of middle-aged and young people and increasing life expectancy. There is no lack of research on demographic changes in ageing societies in the country, but very little is known about the attitudes of childless men and women towards caring for their parents in old age. The aim of the study is to determine the attitudes of childless and child-bearing individuals towards parental responsibilities in Lithuania. Our analysis is based on the 2018-2019 ‘Families and Inequality Survey’ dataset collected in Lithuania. The data covers 3,005 individuals aged 34-48 at the time of the survey. The representative sample was obtained by using a stratified sampling method. Face-to-face interviews were carried out with respondents in their homes by using a standardized questionnaire. The data were analysed using descriptive statistics and chi-square methods. We found that the proportion of men (12.0%) who do not want to have children is statistically significantly higher (p=0.003) than the proportion of women (7.6%). We found that childless people were less likely than those with children to agree with the statement that children should look after their parents. In addition, women were more likely than men to agree with these statements. Our findings are important from a practical point of view – when considering social care and pronatalist policy measures.

Introduction: The use of smartphones has been increasing globally and in the case of adolescents it represents greater vulnerability and health risks. Clinical research that relates Body Mass Index (BMI) or body weight alterations with Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) demonstrates an association. However, the specific association of problematic smartphone use with overweight or obesity is limited and inconclusive in adolescents. General objective: To associate smartphone use with overweight and obesity in adolescents in a family medicine unit (FMU). Material and methods: A cross-sectional and analytical study was carried out from September 2022 to December 2023 in a first-level medical unit, in adolescents aged 10 to 19 years, in whom the Mobile Phone Problem use Scale (MPPUS-A) was applied and BMI was calculated. A Multiple Binary Logistic Regression (RLM) model was used that included age > 14 years, smartphone use and female sex. Odds Ratio (OR), 95% CI and p. Results: Of 338 subjects, it was found that 39% were overweight or obese and had problematic use of the smartphone. 9.1% of overweight or obese adolescents have an adequate use of the smartphone. In the bivariate analysis, it was found that the inappropriate use of smartphones presented a PMR of 2.68 [95% CI (1.63-4.41)] and p<0.001. The multivariate model showed inappropriate smartphone use with an OR of 1.06 [95% CI (1.73-4.87] with p<0.001 and age > 14 years an OR of 1.68 [95% CI (2.80-10.25)] and p <0.001. Conclusion: Adolescents who have problematic smartphone use and an age > 14 years have a higher risk of being overweight or obese. Longitudinal studies are required to verify the findings shown here.
FROM PEOPLE TO NATION: THE PRAGUE PERIOD OF THE HISTORY OF UKRAINIAN POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY
Authors: VOLKOVSKYI Volodymyr
Published: September 2024

The author of the article, based on a study of the writings of intellectuals from the Ukrainian diaspora in interwar Czechoslovakia, primarily professors at the Ukrainian Free University in Prague (1921-1945), formulates some ideas and trends and defines the Prague period of Ukrainian political philosophy. This period is determined by the formation of a powerful centre of Ukrainian intellectual life in Prague, a kind of "Noah's Ark" of Ukrainian emigration. The Prague period of the history of Ukrainian thought in exile is characterised by intellectual freedom of ideas and discussions, which is different from the situation in the postwar period. Among the main topics of discussion are the problems of philosophy of history and nation-building (national mentality, consciousness, national philosophy), problems of philosophy and theory of law, and discussions between modern ideologies. From the perspective of the history of ideas, the Prague period was a continuation of the history of Ukrainian centrism, the 19th-century Ukrainophile discourse that largely continued Drahomanov's ideas of "Hromadivstvo", combining classical liberal notions with an awareness of the importance of both Ukrainian national struggle and social emancipation. This calls into question the linear progressivist scheme of Ukrainian intellectual history, in which the period of "narodnytstvo/populism" is "dialectically sublated" by the modernist period, and "federalism" cedes ground to "independence" (according to I. Lysiak-Rudnytskyi), thus, the "Ukrainophile" stage of the development of the philosophy of the Ukrainian national idea has been fulfilled (in the terms of V. Horsky), and the Drahomanov's worldview had to logically surrender to the ideas of integral nationalism. The article challenges these evolutionist schemes and emphasises that the Prague period of Ukrainian intellectual history contains many useful ideas for the history of Ukrainian liberalism and centrism in general.

Antimicrobial resistance is a global public health threat. Antimicrobial-resistant infections are on the rise and are associated with increased morbidity, mortality, and health care costs. Infants and children are affected by transmission of antimicrobial-resistant zoonotic pathogens through the food supply, direct contact with animals, environmental pathways, and contact with infected or colonized humans. Although the judicious use of antimicrobial agents is necessary for maintaining the health and welfare of humans and animals, it must be recognized that all use of antimicrobial agents exerts selective pressure that increases the risk of development of resistance. This report describes historical and recent use of antibiotics in animal agriculture, reviews the mechanisms of how such use contributes to development of resistance and can adversely affect child health, and discusses US initiatives to curb unnecessary use of antimicrobial agents in agriculture.
New capabilities of application of gamma-ray logging in borehole geophysical investigations through steel string
Authors: Bondarenko Мaksym S. , Кulyk Volodymyr V.
Published: September 2024

Borehole geophysical investigations through steel string (both drill and casing) are becoming increasingly important. Gamma-ray logging (GR) is a mandatory and one of the main methods for investigating oil-and-gas reservoirs and near-surface rocks. It is characterized by high efficiency under the aforementioned measurement conditions. GR is used to identify bed boundaries, evaluate lithology, estimate shaliness, identify reservoirs, etc. Traditionally, the determination of granu- lometric shaliness is the main goal of quantitative interpretation for GR. Gamma-ray logging has been successfully used for many decades. However, increasing the accuracy of determining granulometric shaliness, expanding the informativeness of the method to determine mineral clayness, and developing procedures for using GR data in estimating other petrophysical parameters are topical issues. Based on logging materials, the paper examines the features of using the main interpretation parameter of GR (the relative difference parameter – index ΔІγ) in boreholes in the presence of a steel column and proposes new methodological approaches to the use of GR data when interpreting measurements in oil-and-gas and engineering-geological boreholes. Through numerous ex- amples, the invariance (constancy) of the interpretation parameter of gamma-ray logging has been proven under different borehole conditions, types of logging tools, etc. An approach has been proposed for obtaining optimal reference values when determining this parameter, which increases the accuracy of estimating shaliness parameters. A method has been developed for determining mineral clayness, which is an important quantity in itself and is necessary for determining other petrophysical parameters from loggingdata. A multiplicative method has been created for determining the total porosity of shaly rocks using a combination of neutron logging and gamma-ray logging, which makes it possible to avoid using the hydrogen index of clay minerals. The novelty of the developments is supported by patents, and their effectiveness is confirmed by the results of borehole tests and comparisons with independent determinations of parameters (laboratory core studies, traditional methods of interpretation). The proposed approaches are an important component of the investigation technologies for oil-and-gas reservoirs and near-surface rocks, developed at the Institute of Geophysics of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine.
The role of clinopyroxenes in the process of formation of subalkaline olivine-basaltic magma of the Talysh zone (Azerbaijan)

Published: September 2024

Based on the study of the compositions, relationships of coexisting minerals, as well as the minal components of clinopyroxenes of trachybasalt-trachyandesibasalt-phono- lite formation of the Talysh zone, it was established that they characterize different stages of crystallization of subalkali In addition, the role of clinopyroxenes in the process of formation of subalkaline olivine-basaltic magma of the Talysh zone was determined. The characteristics of the Eocene volcanism of trachyba- salt-trachyandesite-basalt-phonolite formation of the Talysh zone were studied. Using new analytical data of author’s materials, the composition of rocks and minerals of the trachybasalt-trachyandesite-basalt-phonolite formation of the Talysh zone were analyzed. Analyses of rocks and parts of clinopyroxenes were carried out in the chemical laboratory “Uralgeology” of the Ministry of Geology of the Russian Federation (Ekaterinburg). The composition of clinopyroxenes and the melt inclusions they contain were determined by microprobe analysis (Camebax-micro) in the corresponding laboratories of the United Institute of Mineralogy of the Russian Academy of Sciences (Novosibirsk). It was determined that in the complex, under the conditions of the Astara uplift, the rise of subalkaline olivine-basaltic melt into the upper horizons of the earth’s crust was solidified and the early accumulative cumulates of rock minerals in intermediate sources had time to completely dissolve. In the Gosmolyan-Pilachai trough, with the mobility of its transverse mag- ma-supplying faults, such a melt did not have time to crystallize and fractionate. As a result, the transition between petrographic types of rocks in this case is gradual and accumulative inclusions of rocks, minerals were preserved in the melt. The first case is noted by crystallized melt microinclusions, represented by biotite, potassium feldspar, residual glass, the composition belonging to trachydacite and trachyrhyolite, their homogeneous temperature genesis fluctuates between 900-1000oC. In the second case, crystallites of leucite, phlogopite, olivine, etc. were found and molten microinclusions in composition are close to the main alkaline varieties of rocks of the complex under consideration.

Geochemical and tectono-metamorphic study of post-Archean dolerite intrusions is carried out to reconstruct the petrogenesis and geodynamics of post-Archean intrusive mag- matism in the Congo Craton. Dolerites and hornblendites of the Elogo complex are characterized by a low-pressure greenschist metamorphism controlled by brittle micro tectonics and are metaluminous (A/NK: 4.47 and 7.84; A/CNK: 1.02 and 1.37) with a dominant tholeiitic affinity and affected by hydrothermal alteration (LOI = 1.13 – 8.7 %). LREE and Th enrichment, negative Nb and Ti anomaly, low Nb/Th, (Nb/La)PM < 1, Ti/Yb, Ce/La < 0.85, Nb/La < 1, and Ta/Th < 1 ratios, and high (La/Yb)n > 1 and (La/Sm)n > 1 define the dolerites geochemical signature as crustal contaminated. Al2O3/TiO2 (12.17 to 19.65), CaO/Al2O3 (0.60 to 0.78), (Gb/Yb)PM > 1 ( 1.15 to 1.32), and (Tb/Yb)n (1.13 to 1.29) ratios associated with the lack of HREE fractionation (Yb = 11.24 to 18. 01 ppm) characterize a shallow (1073.03 to 1189.92°c) spinel lherzolite-type mantle source with low melt rate (f = 10 to 20%), outside the garnet stability field [(Th/Ta)n < 1]. The negative Nb, Ti, Zr, Rb, and Ba anomalies, positive Hf, Th, and U anomalies, the moderate Cs and LREE (La and Ce) enrichment, and the REE fractionation [(La/Yb) n >1], associated with the high Ta contents, define an extensive intracratonic rift-type setting. The vein rocks originate from an asthe- nospheric uplift marked by lithospheric thinning in a Mezo-Neoproterozoic rift system that dislocated the Congo Craton inducing the genesis of the tholeiitic dolerites (1167 Ma and 850 Ma) of Nola in RCA and Yokadouma in Cameroon.
Automated monitoring of natural parameters of renewable energy production systems
Authors: Zurian Oleksii V. , Ivanchuk Vladislav Yu.
Published: September 2024

The paper discusses the urgent issues of the need to automate the monitoring of natural parameters of renewable energy production systems. Monitoring involves the collec- tion and analysis of various parameters of the natural environment that affect the efficiency and environmental friendliness of systems powered by renewable energy. Based on analytical materials and practical work related to techno-economic and ecological studies concerning the assessment of water reserves in indi- vidual wells, the study focused on the development of technologies and technical means for monitoring. It was found that, in practice, hydrogeological research on groundwaters use outdated methods and technical means for measuring and storing data. A local automated system for monitoring well parameters was developed and constructed. It ensures the operation of the hydrothermal heat pump system at the experimental site of the Institute of Renewable Energy of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. This system was tested in our research. The benefits of this study are revealing the need to create an intelligent monitoring system with the possibility of automated decision-making regarding the management of renewable energy generation systems, depending on changes in the am- bient parameters. A network automated system for monitoring natural parameters was developed, consisting of several wireless sensor subsystems that communicate with each other via wireless connection and transmit information to the gateway. The gateway, in turn, is connected to the computer with a graphical interface for interaction with the system. The results of work indicate that the proposed structures for automated water monitoring are simple and easy to implement. Consequently, the study revealed that one of the prospects is the development of automated monitoring systems with intelligent features, capable of making optimal individual decisions regard- ing the management of renewable energy generation systems under variable environmental parameters. As a result, the data obtained from this study have significant scientific and practical implications for advancing the design methodology of geothermal heat pump wells, focusing on long-term forecasts and assessments of their ecological and economic efficiency.

There are six antefixes and an antefix mould from Roman Brigetio (Komárom-Szőny, Hungary) in the collection of the Hungarian National Museum, which are the first antefixes to be published from Brigetio. All made in the form of tragic masks with desperate expressions, they can be classified into two types based on their appearance. The only Type 1 antefix is characterized by straight, stylized hair and high onkos, with close parallels in Aquincum. The other five antefixes belong to Type 2 and were made in the same mould. These feature a male head with open mouth and wavy, shoulder-length hear with what appears to be a topknot. The mould fragment was the negative form of the Type 2 antefixes. Type 2 antefixes made in Brigetio were also found in the Roman villa of Ravazd.

Empowerment programs in the community will be prosperous and fulfill their life needs. The development of Lake (Situ) Lengkong Panjalu tourist object that along with the development of this tourist object has had an impact on social changes in the Panjalu Village community, especially in terms of social and economic. This change is based on the empowerment program in the tourism sector planned by the Panjalu Village government. The findings in the study show that the people of Panjalu Village before the existence of one of the empowerment programs, namely efforts to improve the welfare of the village community in the field of tourism, the community's economy has not improved. It tends to be below standard because it relies on the agricultural sector, including farming and fishing. However, after a community empowerment program and making the Lake a tourist attraction, the community's economy increased because it did not rely only on the agricultural sector; the people of Panjalu Village began to prosper and reduced unemployment then their lifestyle changed. Along with the development of human civilization, there have been changes in human life. As well as the village's asset income increases as tourists continue to visit Lake Lengkong Panjalu.

This research aims to explore the role of religion, particularly Islam, in shaping the identity of the Aur Birugo community in Bukittinggi Regency. We employed a qualitative research method, utilizing in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and document analysis as tools to gather data. The results of the research indicate that religion, specifically Islam, has a significant impact on shaping the identity of the Aur Birugo community. Religious values such as honesty, social care, and solidarity have become integral parts of the community's social norms.

Traditional ceremonies and religious celebrations are also inseparable aspects of the Aur Birugo community's culture. While religion has played a vital role in maintaining the community's cultural identity, this research also identifies challenges in facing inter-religious conflicts and the influence of modern social changes. In adapting to the changing times, the Aur Birugo community continues to strive to preserve their religious and cultural roots while adapting to the dynamics of a rapidly evolving global society.

Wpływ prywatnoprawnego dochodzenia roszczeń odszkodowawczych na skuteczność publicznego prawa konkurencji
Authors: Weber Kamil
Published: September 2024

Zyskujące na znaczeniu prywatnoprawne dochodzenie roszczeń z tytułu naruszenia prawa konkurencji wywiera wpływ również na publicznoprawne egzekwowanie prawa antymonopolowego, w tym na jego skuteczność. Negatywne oddziaływanie starano się zmniejszyć za pomocą wdrożenia dyrektywy 2014/104/UE. Przewiduje ona nowe instytucje, takie jak ograniczenie odpowiedzialności solidarnej podmiotu zwolnionego z kary i ograniczenie możliwości wyjawiania środków dowodowych. Prawodawca zachowawczo stosuje ograniczenia w zakresie ujawniania dowodów jedynie do karteli, tym samym nie uderza całkowicie w prywatne egzekwowanie roszczeń za szkodę antymonopolową. Jednak, owe ograniczenie zwiększa negatywne oddziaływanie na zasadę skuteczności publicznego wykonywania prawa konkurencji. Wydaje się, że ustawodawca przyjął za TSUE, że private enforcement również ma swój pozytywny wpływ na zasadę skuteczności publicznego prawa konkurencji poprzez zniechęcanie do jego naruszania.
Zdatność regulacji prawnokarnych do kompleksowej ochrony paliwowej infrastruktury krytycznej przed cyberprzestępczością
Authors: Wyszyński Filip
Published: September 2024

Celem niniejszego artykułu jest analiza problematyki cyberprzestępczości z punktu widzenia ochrony infrastruktury paliwowej jako infrastruktury krytycznej. Przyjętą metodą badawczą jest metoda dogmatycznoprawna. Analizowane są przepisy kodeksu karnego i innych aktów prawnych. Infrastruktura paliwowa nadal ma kluczowe znaczenie dla bezpieczeństwa państwa, choć jej rola może się zmniejszać. Hipotezą główną jest założenie, że ochrona paliwowa jest w ujęciu prawnokarnym chroniona wyłącznie przez pryzmat ogólnego katalogu przestępstw. Wobec tego należy zweryfikować odporność prawa karnego na naruszenie infrastruktury paliwowej. Ustalenia zawarte w tekście są szczególnie ważne ze względu na znaczenie dla obronności państwa w kontekście sytuacji nadzwyczajnych, takich jak przykładowo wrogie działania hybrydowe prowadzone przez cyber-ataki. Tym samym kluczowe jest zabezpieczenie państwowej infrastruktury krytycznej przez sankcje prawnokarne.

Znamię szczególnego okrucieństwa jako znamię ocenne
Authors: Kantorowski Mikołaj
Published: September 2024

Szczególne okrucieństwo jest znamieniem charakteryzującym się złożoną strukturą – należy bowiem do kręgu znamion ocennych, nieostrych i stopniowalnych. Kluczową przeszkodą interpretacyjną jest swoista ewolucja okrucieństwa w szczególne okrucieństwo. Wytyczenie granicy pomiędzy tym co okrutne, a tym co jest okrutne w sposób szczególny stanowi problem zarówno na gruncie dociekań doktrynalnych, jak i na płaszczyźnie orzeczniczej ze względu na subiektywizm wynikający z ocenności i nieostrości tego znamienia. Jednocześnie ocenny charakter szczególnego okrucieństwa wymaga odwołania się do norm moralnych, dążących do zachowania obiektywizmu.
Doktryna prawa karnego skupia się na abstrakcyjnym znaczeniu samego okrucieństwa, podczas gdy orzecznictwo stosuje je w ujęciu konkretno-indywidualnym. Ich uzupełniający się charakter stanowi fundament do właściwej egzegezy znamienia szczególnego okrucieństwa. Nie da się bowiem stworzyć katalogu zachowań szczególnie okrutnych bez ograniczenia roli sądu.
Stworzenie, Zbawienie oraz Cesarstwo Rzymskie. Kilka uwag na temat teologicznych źródeł kosmopolitycznego władztwa w myśli Pawła Orozjusza
Authors: Tomasiewicz Marcin
Published: September 2024

W centrum rozważań politycznych Pawła Orozjusza, zawartych w dziele Historia przeciw poganom, stoi koncepcja uniwersalnej władzy cesarzy rzymskich. Tym samym Orozjusz wpisuje się w długą tradycję myślicieli chrześcijańskich, którzy przyznawali imperium walor uniwersalistyczny. W tym kontekście zostało postawione pytanie: jakie argumenty teologiczne pozwoliły Orozjuszowi na uzasadnienie owej władzy? W toku wywodu wykazało, iż legitymizację istnienia światowego ośrodka władzy, w tym wypadku władzy rzymskich cesarzy, Orozjusz wywiódł z ustaleń o charakterze teologicznym, a mianowicie z refleksji na temat stworzenia (protologii) oraz zbawienia (soteriologii).
Explanation of the problem of pulmonary embolism in relation to the optimization of modern algorithms for the actions of the family doctor
Authors: Sheyko Svitlana

The purpose of the work is to ensure the improvement of the quality of education and educational services at a level that meets the expectations and needs of the family doctor, contributes to the optimization of the educational process on the problem of pulmonary embolism.
Determination of clinical probability is an important component of management of patients with suspected PE. In clinical practice, the Canadian (P.S. Wells) and Geneva scales are most often used for this. For a patient with a high clinical probability of PE, multispiral computer tomography (MSCT) is of primary importance. With suspected high-risk PE, evidenced by shock or hypotension, CT angiography or bedside transthoracic echocardiography should be performed for diagnostic purposes. Today, magnetic resonance imaging is not recommended for the diagnosis of PE. Outpatient treatment should be carried out with PESI class I-II. Inpatient treatment - with PESI III-V class. Anticoagulant therapy (ACT), which should be started as early as possible at the stage of diagnosis, is the basis of VE treatment. Thrombolytic therapy should be carried out in the clinic of shock or in the presence of hemodynamic instability.
As a basis for planning the educational process, it is desirable to take the constructive alignment model, which consists of the following three logically interconnected components. First of all, these are learning outcomes that must be aligned with the goals of the curriculum. Secondly, educational activities should be related to expected learning outcomes. An important component is assessment and feedback.
The professional training of a general practitioner - a family doctor is aimed at acquiring new knowledge, deepening professional competences and improving practical skills to maintain an appropriate level of training for today's urgent problem - pulmonary embolism, taking into account the realities of wartime and the threat of repeated outbreaks of covid infection (CI)
