Medium range prediction of tropical cyclogenesis of intense vortices over Indian Seas by a Global Spectral Model
Authors: GUPTA AKHILESH , RAMESH K. J. , MOHANTY U. C.
Published: December 2021

The performance of a Global Spectral Model (T-80) operational at the National Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecasting (NCMRWF), New Delhi in predicting the cyclogenesis of six tropical cyclones over Indian Seas formed during 1995-96 has been evaluated. It has been found that the model has the capability to predict cyclogenesis in wind field at least 72 hours in advance although the positions of predicted vortices are seen to be displaced from those of analysed ones in some cases. The quantitative estimates of the atmospheric conditions favourable for cyclogenesis also confirm the conclusions drawn from the qualitative analysis of cyclogenesis predictions of the model in terms of appearance of cyclonic circulation. It also follows from this analysis that the predicted circulations at the cyclogenesis stage are in general more intense and stronger as compared to the corresponding analysis in terms of wind and mass fields. On examining the model systematic errors of prediction it is found that the model has a clear bias for predicting more intense vortex during genesis and weakening stages. On the order hand it predicts relatively less intense vortex during intensification process.
A diagnostic study of contrasting rainfall epochs over Mumbai
Authors: DUTTA S. N. , DE U. S.
Published: December 2021

An attempt has made to diagnose the synoptic features and some dynamic and thermodynamic parameters associated with contrasting rainfall situations (on consecutive days) during the monsoon season, over Mumbai. Study has been made for two contrasting monsoon years, viz. 1987 (Bad monsoon year) and 1988 (Good monsoon year). For this study RS data of Mumbai have been used.

 

In many cases heavy rainfall on an isolated day over Mumbai is associated with the following synoptic systems (a) a trough on sea level chart running along west coast through Maharashtra Coast and (b) a cyclonic circulation (CYCIR) over Gujarat in the lower/middle tropospheric level.

 

At least one of the above two systems ceased to exist on the days of light rainfall.

 

Weighted average value of moist static energy is more on the day of heavy rainfall. In most of the cases convective available potential energy (CAPE) is also more on the day of heavy rainfall. LFC, on most of the cases, is seen to have lowered down on the days of heavy rainfall. Variation in upper air flow pattern and scorer parameter also gave very interesting clues to variation of rainfall on contrasting days.
Heavy rain at Chennai and its relation to cyclonic disturbances
Authors: GANESAN G. S. , MUTHUCHAMI A. , PONNUSWAMY A. S.
Published: December 2021

In this paper an attempt is made to study the characteristics of Heavy Rainfall (HR) and Very Heavy Rainfall (VHR) over Chennai in the North East Monsoon month of October, November and December and the period considered is 1964 to 19%. It is observed that it is mainly the duration which determines whether rainfall would be heavy or very heavy. Defining a system as Depression or Cyclonic Storm or Severe Cyclonic Storm in the Bay of Bengal, the mean rainfall in a System-affected day is 1.5 times that of Non-system-affected day in October and November. No striking differences could be found in intensity and duration characteristics of rainfall between system- affected days and non-system affected days. Even if system induced. heavy rainfall does not occur other thing being normal, the total rainfall of this season can continue to be normal.
Occurrence of dry and wet weeks over Maharashtra
Authors: GORE P. G. , THAPLIYAL V.
Published: December 2021

Based on the daily rainfall data of the past 90 years (1901-90), the initial and conditional probabilities of a wet week and the probabilities of 2 and 3 consecutive wet weeks have been computed for all the districts of Maharashtra during the southwest monsoon season by using Markov Chain model. A temporal and spatial distribution of probabilities of wet weeks have been studied in detail. Most of the districts show the highest probability of wet weeks during July. A few number of the districts show the second highest probability during August. The western and northeastern parts of the state show 10-16 wet weeks with high probability. The high rainfall districts along the west coast show high wet week probabilities during most of the period of the season. A few number of the districts from moderate rainfall zone, show high probability of a wet week during, July and August. A persistency in rainfall is noticed in only extreme western parts of the state. The east-west variation along 19° N shows 'L' shaped pattern for the high probability wet weeks. While, the north -south variation of the wet weeks with high probability shows a sinusoidal curve from north to south.
A simple thermodynamical model to estimate the rate of depletion of nocturnal low level inversion layer
Authors: SURESH R.
Published: December 2021

The low level inversion, be it that of ground based or elevated, plays a significant role in the dispersion of polluted particles and in aviation meteorology. The rate of rise of the ground based inversion top and the base of elevated inversion causes the decrease of inversion strength and thereby permits vertical mixing of pollutants as the stability of the atmosphere is reduced. A simple thermodynamical model using the global radiation and vertical temperature profile has been proposed to estimate the rate of rise of (i) the ground based inversion top and (ii) the base of the elevated inversion. The depth of inversion thus estimated can be used in the pollution/fog dispersion models. The model is simple and operationally practicable. The limitations of the model are also discussed.

Trends and periodicities of rainfall over north Africa
Authors: MOURSY FAWZIA I.
Published: December 2021

Trends and periodicities in the annual rainfall of north Africa are studied using data for 45 stations having record lengths of over 60 year. Increasing or decreasing rainfall tendencies are found over large continuous areas in north Africa. These trends, however, are not significant over all the stations in the areas but only at a few places distributed at random. Wherever a trend is significant, It has persistence or a periodicity of more than 40 year. Quasi- Biennial Oscillation (QBO) is exhibited at several stations in the areas of increasing or decreasing trend. Similarly, the 11-year cycle (solar cycle) is also exhibited in both areas. The QBO and the solar cycle are both present at only six stations.
Effect of altitude on the variation of pre-monsoon thunderstorm frequency during periods of higher sun spot number
Authors: ROY INDRANI , BONDYOPADHAYA R.
Published: December 2021

The variation of pre-monsoon Thunder Storm Frequency (TSF) depending on the appearance of sun spot (S.S.) have been studied for the period 1955-80 for total 96 stations distributed allover India. For most of the stations we can identify a critical S.S. number in the neighbourhood of mean S.S. 140 above which a clear increasing or decreasing trend of mean TSF is observed with increase of S.S. number. It has also been seen that for almost all the stations having altitude greater than 280m, TSF increases with increase of S.S. number provided it is greater than the critical number.

Authors: DATAR S. V. , DUBEY R. C. , CHATTOPADHYAY N.
Published: December 2021

The role of different meteorological parameters controlling the incidences of some diseases on tomato, guava and fig grown at Pune and Padegaon in Maharashtra state were studied by graphical superimposition and correlation techniques. Peak infestation of rust on fig was observed in January at Padegaon whereas maximum infestation of fruit canker on guava and early blight on tomato were reported respectively from September to first week of October and September to November at Pune. Increase in maximum temperature was found to increase the infestation of both fruit canker and early blight. Decrease in afternoon relative humidity favoured the infestation of fruit canker and rust. Fall of minimum temperature and rise in bright hours of sunshine also aggravated the incidences of fruit canker and rust respectively.

Authors: SALEM A. I.
Published: December 2021

For three years (1990-92) measurements of the monthly average daily global, G, and ultraviolet, UV, solar radiation incident on a horizontal surface at Cairo (30°15'N, 31°17'E) and Aswan (23°58'N, 32°47'E) are presented. processed and analysed. It was found that the computed monthly average daily values for the obtained solar radiation components, G and UV, were (18.1 MJ/m2, 0.55 MJ/m2, for Cairo and (22.1 MJ/m2, 0.71 MJ/m2, for Aswan. The effect of atmospheric dust on the measured solar radiation components is also investigated and discussed. The ratio of the ultraviolet to global radiation (UV/G) are calculated and compared with other sites in the Arabian Peninsula. A regression analysis has been done to find a correlation between G and UV at the selected sites during the three year period and the recommended correlation equations have also been stated.

 

Since the meteorological measurements of UV solar radiation are not available over Egypt. except at Cairo (Lower Egypt) and Aswan (Upper Egypt) stations, our correlation equations can be used to calculate this component from the available global solar radiation measurements at any site in the two zones of Upper and Lower Egypt.

Authors: DAS G.K. , ROY S.N. , MIDYA S.K.
Published: December 2021

In this paper an attempt has been made to study climatological characteristics and forecasting aspects of heavy rainfall over Kolkata for data of 34 years of period from 1974 to 2007. Total 184 events has been found out and the data set has been subjected to various types of analysis along with favourable synoptic system and critical index for occurrence of heavy rainfall over Kolkata. Average occurrence is found as 5.4 events per year. Monthly distribution shows maximum of 26% events in July followed by September 20%, August17% and June as 14%. Seasonal distribution naturally indicates maximum of 77% occurrence during monsoon followed by post-monsoon with 14% and pre-monsoon with 09 %. Synoptic analysis revealed that majority of heavy rainfall events occurred due to low pressure system (LPS). Study of 167 cases (during June to October) suggests that when any one of the favourable synoptic condition prevailed over the region and DPD-Wind-PW-WS index reaches a critical value, heavy to very heavy rain occurred over Kolkata and suburban areas.

The radio refractivity is an important factor which effects radio wave propagation. Radio refractivity depends upon the physical states of atmosphere, i.e., its temperature, pressure and humidity. Radars are sensitive to refractive index irregularities on scale size equal to half wavelength of Radar. Backscattered power is dependent on the magnitude of refractive index structure constant Cn2.  Hence Cn2values of a place are useful for designing weather radar specially wind profiler radars. This paper is an attempt to map the profile of refractive index structure constant Cn2 of atmosphere in the upper atmosphere, over Delhi on diurnal and seasonal basis.

Time series analysis of friction force at self-affine mode of ice surface softening
Authors: Khomenko A. , Logvinenko D.
Published: December 2021

The self-affine mode of ice softening during friction is investigated within the rheological model for viscoelastic medium approximation. The different modes of ice rubbing, determined by formation of surface liquid-like layer, are studied. The analysis of time series of friction force is carried out, namely Fourier analysis, construction of autocorrelation and difference autocorrelation functions. The spectral power law is detected for modes of crystalline ice as well as of a mixture of stable ice and metastable softening. The self-similarity and aperiodic character of corresponding time series of friction force are proved.
Influence of external field direction on polarization rotation in antiferroelectric squaric acid H2C4O4
Authors: Moina A.
Published: December 2021

Using the previously developed model we explore the processes of polarization rotation in antiferroelectric crystals of squaric acid by the electric fields directed arbitrarily within the ac plane. Except for some particular directions of the field, the two-step polarization reorientation at low temperatures is predicted: first, to the noncollinear phase with perpendicular sublattice polarizations and then to the collinear ferroelectric phase. However, when the field is directed along the axis of spontaneous sublattice polarizations, the intermediate noncollinear phase is absent; when the field is at 45° to this axis, the field for transition to the ferroelectric phase tends to infinity. The ground state proton configurations and the directions of the sublattice polarization vectors are determined for all field orientations. The T-E phase diagrams are constructed for the fields directed along the diagonals of the ac plane and for the above discussed particular directions of the field.

Risk Communication under Conflicting Information: The Role of Confidence in Subjective Risk Assessment
Authors: Ishida Takashi , Maruyama Atsushi , Kurihara Shinichi
Published: December 2021

In this study, we develop a model of food consumption with a focus on the subjectively assessed risk of consumers and their degree of confidence in their risk assessment and use it to examine consumer behavior in the chaotic situation created by the Fukushima nuclear accident in 2011. The data were collected in March 2012 using a mail survey for 1300 Japanese women, the primary food purchasers. The respondents were asked to evaluate the cancer risk of eating agricultural products, which were assumed to be grown in the affected area, despite meeting national regulatory standards for radioactive materials, as a measure of their risk assessment and willingness to purchase Fukushima beef. The results show that the effect of confidence in a consumer’s risk assessment on their behavior depends on the stated risk level: when stated risk is below an estimated critical value, termed the switching point, the risk perceived by a consumer without confidence exceeds that of one with confidence. On the other hand, perceived risk is inversely related to confidence when the stated risk exceeds the switching point.
Some statistics of Ionospheric total electron content variations at mid-latitude zones of Mongolia
Authors: Dagva Baatarkhuu , Sharav Amarjargal , Chultemiin Lkhagvajav
Published: December 2021

This work is focused on the correlation of ionosphere total electron content (TEC) with solar and geomagnetic activities of the space weather at mid-latitude zone.  In our analysis, we investigate the TEC time series obtained from dual-frequency GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) observations at three continuous GPS/GNSS stations HOVD (48.00N, 91.66E), CHOB (48.08N, 114.53E) and DALN (43.56N, 104.42) for 2013. The statistical analyses are performed on 15 minute averaged yearly TEC values, which reveal the semi-annual anomaly and high correlation with the activities of the Sun and the rotation of the Earth. Phase overlapping seasonal variations of TEC and Sunspot, and Solar flux (10.7) indices, and Earth rotations (LOD) and Atmospheric angular moment (AAM) are observed in our data analyses. Sudden ionospheric storm changes in TEC with geomagnetic storm induced by the extreme solar flare and 2013 events were investigated. The result shows that GPS derived TEC behaves as an indicator of these events showing sudden increase in TEC during the event.

Published: December 2021

Neutron radiography (NR) has been applied successfully to investigate different types of building materials, rock samples, sculptures, statues or monuments for since long. The utilization of neutron imaging for non-invasive investigations of cultural heritage objects is demonstrated on the example of ancient bricks found in Mahasthangarh and Sonargaon, two key archaeological sites in Bangladesh. The visualization of the internal structure of different brick samples, by means of Neutron Radiography (NR), has been experimented using the BTRR research reactor in Bangladesh - the only neutron imaging facility available in Bangladesh for R D purposes. Manufacturing building materials have become a very good option for business in developing countries like Bangladesh. Among the non-destructive testing (NDT) techniques, neutron radiography is the most common procedure to identify light and organic materials, homogeneity, any inclusion or voids or cracks etc. inside the structure. The radiographic images in a dry condition for individual samples have been investigated. The image analysis was performed using ImageJ software and texture features were extracted using gray level co-occurrence matrix implemented by MATLAB for acquiring qualitative and quantitative information from this inspection technique at a high level of accuracy. The results obtained by neutron imaging provide the statement that the brick sample from Mahasthangarh is more homogeneous inside.
Impact of creativity on student entrepreneurial intention
Authors: Nguyen Thuy Thu , Phan Hoa Thi Thanh , Pham Van Thanh
Published: December 2021

Objective of the study: This empirical research tests the direct and indirect impact of creativity on entrepreneurial intention, by applying the theory of planned behavior (TPB) as the underpinning framework.Methodology/approach: Quantitative research was conducted through a survey of 703 undergraduate students in Vietnam. Structural equation modeling with Amos version 23 was used to test the theoretical model.Originality/Relevance: Creativity is assumed to be a common characteristic of entrepreneurs and a prerequisite for innovation and entrepreneurship, but the findings on the influence of creativity on entrepreneurship intention are inconsistent in literature. This research uses a mediator effect to explain this inconsistency and focuses on the direct and indirect impact of creativity on entrepreneurship intention in an Asian emerging country.Main results: Analytical results show that creativity has no significant direct effect on entrepreneurial intention. Rather, it has an indirect effect on entrepreneurial intention through three determinants (attitude, subjective norms, and behavioral control).Theoretical/methodological contributions: The study provides empirical evidence to confirm the importance of attitude, subjective norms, and behavioral control, which together fully mediate the impact of creativity on entrepreneurial intention.Social/management contributions: These results have several implications for promoting entrepreneurship in university students.
The Myxobiota of the Łagiewnicki Forest in Łódź (Central Poland)
Authors: Maria Salamaga Agnieszka
Published: December 2021

Herein, the results of studies conducted in the Łagiewnicki Forest in the city of Łódź (central Poland) in 2010–2012 are presented. These were the first long-term observations into myxomycetes in the Łagiewnicki Forest and in central Poland. Investigations were conducted using the route method for the entire forest complex (2010–2012). Additionally, twelve logs were selected in the “Las Łagiewnicki” forest reserve for detailed observations in 2011–2012; these logs belonged to four tree species:Betula pendulaRoth,Carpinus betulusL.,Quercussp., andPicea abies(L.) H. Karst. In total, 1,561 specimens were collected and were classified into 96 taxa (91 species and five varieties). Three species (Diderma saundersii,Oligonema flavidum, andDidymium eximium) are new to the biota of Poland, while five (Arcyria stipata,Hemitrichia calyculata,Oligonema schweinitzii,Physarum flavicomum, andPhysarum robustum) are included on the red list of rare myxomycetes in Poland.Stemonitopsis amoenais also classified as a rare species; to date, this species has been reported in one locality in Poland. The scale by Stephenson et al. was used to determine the frequency of occurrence of individual taxa; 55 taxa were classified as rare, nine as sporadic, 26 as common, and six as abundant taxa. Three ecological groups of slime molds were identified based on the type of substrate they colonized: lignicolous (54 taxa), foliicolous (seven taxa), and corticolous (two taxa). No preference for the substrate was noticed in a group of 33 taxa that occurred on different substrate types. The phenology of myxomycete occurrence was also analyzed; 49 taxa occurred throughout the entire vegetative season, while only single records of species that were found in specific months were noted. The biota collected in the “Las Łagiewnicki” forest reserve and that in a Łagiewnicki Forest segment outside it (of the same size and the same occurrence of plant communities as in the reserve) in 2011–2012 were also compared.
Unde malum? Czesław Miłosz on Fyodor Dostoyevsky and Vladimir Solovyov
Authors: Wójciak Monika
Published: December 2021

This article discusses Czesław Miłosz’s essays on Grand Inquisitor by Fyodor Dostoyevsky and A Tale of the Anti-Christ by Vladimir Solovyov. These essays focus on the essence, genesis, and forms of evil, and seek an answer to the unde malum question. Miłosz believes that in world literature there are no other works that show the nature of evil in a similar way. Dostoyevsky’s work, when read from various philosophical perspectives, reveals very complex meanings, as Solovyov demonstrates. Through his engagement with the two great Russian writers, Miłosz’s own work resonates more strongly in the debate about the condition of the modern man.
Metacreativism & postmodernism
Authors: Tiupa Walerij Igoriewicz
Published: December 2021

The article attempts to characterize the views of Russian theorists on the leading development tendencies in the artistic creation of the 20th and 21st centuries. Particular attention was paid to a kind of crisis, the sources of which lie in the lack of possibility to continue the existing forms of artistic creativity. Therefore, there is a need to develop such forms of this creativity that would correspond to the present day. The superior role of the recipient of the work in relation to its creator was emphasized. In order to name this phenomenon, the author suggests the term ‘ metacreativism’. Other phenomena described in the text include, for example, intertextuality or collage. In Western literary studies such a creative manner is called postmodernism.
An Ambassador at the Frontier: The Translator’s Role in the Transfer of Niche Art on the Example of the Song „Lobotomy” by The Tiger Lillies
Authors: Mach Anna
Published: December 2021

The article discusses the translator’s role as an „ambassador” participating in the process of transferring a niche musical genre from Anglophone to Polish culture on the example of two translations of the song „Lobotomy” by The Tiger Lillies: one by Roman Kołakowski, performed by the group Kagyuma, and the other by Paweł Szarek, performed by Katarzyna Chlebny in the show Macabra Dolorosa, directed by the translator. The Tiger Lillies are a band operating in a peripheral musical genre referred to as ‘punk cabaret’, the features of which are briefl y presented. The analysis of the translations highlights the consequences of a different approach to the source material on the translators’ part and the impact that their choices have on the potential differences in perceiving the song by Polish recipients. The analysis takes into account the intersemiotic elements of music and performance. In the case of a peripheral genre translation decisions are of particular importance for the fi nal form of its transfer to the target culture.
BASIC PRINCIPLES OF LABOUR LAW – OVERREGULATION OF THE LABOUR CODE OR LEGITIMACY OF THEM BEING SINGLED OUT?
Authors: Piątkowski Jan
Published: December 2021

The legislator, guided by the fundamental importance of certain rights in individual and collective employment relationships, decided to formally single out certain principles and separate them from the entire system of labour law principles, giving them the status of basic principles. The singled out principles avoided the fate of other principles, which are the product of doctrine and jurisprudence. The will of the legislator to single out basic principles is the causal reason for their placement in an act of unifying character, having reference to all employees, regardless of their employment model. Only in such a way, taking into account the rules of legislative technique as well as the dualistic model of employment and the mechanism of the interdependence of the general law with special laws (Article 5 of the Labour Code), was it possible to carry out the will of the legislator
ABOUT THE MODIFYING FUNCTION OF THE PRINCIPLES OF LABOR LAW ON THE GROUND OF THE ART. 300 OF THE LABOR CODE
Authors: Jaskulska Jagoda
Published: December 2021

The article is devoted to the function of the principles of labor law from the perspective of Art. 300 of the Labor Code, providing that in matters not regulated by provisions of the labour law relating to a relationship of employment, respective provisions of the Civil Code are applicable, if these are not contrary to principles of the labour law. Enriching the content of art. 300 of the Labor Code for the above premise allows for the identification of certain specific functions that are fulfilled by the principles of labor law on this ground. In the doctrine of labor law, among them, there is a modifying function, correlated with the clause of appropriate application of provisions in the variant, which assumes modification in the area of disposition of provisions applied in connection with Art. 300 of the Labor Code. The aim of the article is to assess the legitimacy of relating the modifying function to the principles of labor law within the meaning of art. 300 k.p. taking into account, inter alia, the limits of making and interpreting the law and the nature of the referring provisions.

The aim of the work was to present the factual competence of the State Labour Inspectorate and its analysis against the concept of „employment law”. This issue was presented on the basis of the classification of positions of the doctrine regarding „employment law” presented by B.M. Ćwiertniak. The review was carried out from the Act of 1981, which was a model solution for the „classical” labour law of the industrial era, to the current state based on the Act of 2007 and its amendments. The analysis has shown that this body is currently engaged in the control and supervision of „work” in its broadest sense. This is related to the fact that the material competence covers not only issues related to the employment relationship, but also the legality of employment, remuneration from the civil law relationship, social security obligations, bans on trade on Sundays and public holidays carried out regardless of the legal basis of employment. Therefore, from a formal point of view, the creation by the legislator of a possibly new branch of law - ‚employment law’ - would not require changes in the competences of the State Labour Inspectorate.

Authors: Borski Maciej
Published: December 2021

The aim of the article is to try to evaluate actions taken by the country, which are supposed to change the image of public administration perceived as an employer, who refuses to employ people with disabilities or whose only motivation is to avoid being charged with contribution to PERON. An evaluation will be based on further answers to some essential questions. In the first place, the author will try to establish whether the actions taken by the country in order to remove barriers to employing people with disabilities were also effective with organs, which are its emancipation. It will require referring to many normative regulations in force in RP; both these which are the results of actions of national legislator and those, which result from Poland making commitments in the international arena. Subsequently one must be considered if actions of specific public administration body are taken for the employment of people with disabilities, may be considered as effective and
whether the rights of people with disabilities were there respected. This thought in turn will require referring to how institutions responsible for increasing the employment of people with disabilities in public administration work in practice.
EQUAL RIGHTS OF WORKING SPOUSES AND OTHER PERSONS WHO FULFIL FAMILY RESPONSIBILITIES AND THE MAINTENANCE OF THE BALANCE BETWEEN WORK AND FAMILY LIFE
Authors: Szewczyk Helena
Published: December 2021

The improvement in the quality of life of an employed person and his/her sustainable development are the basis of the concept of work-life balance. In this concept, the professional and private spheres are of equal importance and should complement and strengthen each other. The objective of ILO Convention 156 and ILO recommendation 165 related to it, is to ensure equal treatment and equal opportunities in the scope of employment and professional activity of working women and men who fulfill family responsibilities. Art. 33 section 2 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union and the European pillar of social rights provides accordingly. The permanence of marriage and equal rights of spouses are among the basic principles of Polish family law. Equal rights of women and men in the context of equal rights of persons carrying out parental and care responsibilities are a fundamental constitutional principle in our country. Therefore, new legal regulations at the EU and national level concerning the balance between the professional and private life of parents and guardians are necessary. It should be de lege ferenda called for the inclusion of the concept of balance between professional and private life of working people who perform parental and guardian functions in labor law and family and guardianship law in a wider scope. It seems that nowadays the most important problem is the introduction of legal solutions in the field of work exemptions, employee holidays and more flexible working hours for employees who have care responsibilities towards the elderly or chronically ill (parents, parents-in-law, siblings) to the Labor Code
TEMPORARY EMPLOYMENT OF TEACHERS
Authors: Jaworska Katarzyna
Published: December 2021

The employment of teachers is stable. The preferred legal form of performing work is an employment relationship for an indefinite period. Employment under a fixed-term employment contract is exceptionally permissible. The Teacher’s Charter identifies four such situations. This does not mean that temporary employment may last for many years. The legislator introduced special mechanisms limiting the duration of these contracts. Exceeding the limit indicated in the act results in the transformation by operation of law into an unlimited employment relationship. Also, unlawful entrustment of work for a specified period of time will result in the transformation of the employment relationship into an indefinite period.
SUPPLEMENTARY PARENTAL BENEFIT – THE MUM 4 + PROGRAMME – EXPECTATIONS AND REALITY
Authors: Kumor-Jezierska Ewelina
Published: December 2021

In this article the regulations of the act on parental supplementary benefit of January 30, 2019 are thoroughly analysed. Supplementary parental benefit is granted to a person who gave birth to and raised or only raised at least four children and did not acquire the right to a pension or a pension paid to this person by the pension authority is smaller than the lowest pension. One is entitled to the benefit mentioned herein only in the case of not having means of subsistence because of not pursuing or discontinuing employment as a result of raising minimum four children. Supplementary parental benefit is in no way related to making social security contributions, it is a benefit financed by the state budget, which in a supplementary or substitutional way is linked to old age. In the legal sense, it is not a pension, but a special non-contributory monetary benefit of discretionary nature, which is granted only on request of the person of interest based on the administrative decision of the president of the Polish Social Insurance Institution (ZUS) or the Agricultural Social Insurance Fund (KRUS).
ONE-OFF COMPENSATION TO FAMILY MEMBERS FOR AN ACCIDENT AT WORK OR OCCUPATIONAL DISEASE
Authors: Witoszko Wioletta
Published: December 2021

A one-off for family members in the event of the death of an insured person as a result of an accident at work or occupational disease shall be of an insurance nature. It is granted in the event of the death of an insured person who was covered by accident insurance. The benefit is paid by ZUS on the basis of a decision.
It is paid from the accident fund, where the premiums paid for accident insurance are collected. In addition, the amount of the premium depends on the degree of risk of accident. The conditions for one-off compensation and its amount were structured in a schematic manner, since it was not necessary to determine the nature and size of the damage. Such rules for determining one-off compensation lead to simplification and scheme for compensation for damage. These features of compensation mean that the damage can be repaired in a limited manner. Accident compensation does little to meet the characteristics of civil law compensation. The extent to which the compensatory function of compensating for damage is to be carried out will depend on the type of damage and its extent, as well as on whether family members will be entitled to other accident benefits.
PRINCIPLE OF (NON) CUMULATION, THAT IS, ABOUT THE CONFLUENCE OF THE RIGHT TO A RETIREMENT PENSION FROM THE GENERAL AND MILITARY SYSTEMS
Authors: Czerniak-Swędzioł Justyna
Published: December 2021

Professional soldiers have their own social security system, separate from the general social insurance system, which provides social protection in the event of long service, total incapacity to serve and the death of the breadwinner (pension benefits). At the same time, a professional soldier can accumulate
and receive two pensions from different systems, ie universal and reserve. However, the principle of accumulation of benefits based on the applicable provision is dedicated to a narrow group of entitled persons. The principle of non-cumulation is considered to be the basic and dominant one. It is an expression of the principle of risk solidarity in force in social insurance law and is not inconsistent with the constitutional principle of equality expressed in Art. 32 of the Polish Constitution. In the event of the overlapping of the right to several benefits specified in the Act, the pension authority is obliged to pay only one (higher) benefit, even if this right results from various acts, and the possibility of combining benefits must be clearly indicated in the provisions of law. Separation of the insurance and supply system allows each of these systems to fulfill separate obligations towards professional soldiers, not related to the general system. Maintaining the principle that for the same period of retirement pension insurance, two retirement benefits cannot be awarded simultaneously (Article 5 (2a) (2a) of the Pension Act). The exception to the principle of non-accumulation (ie the principle of collecting one benefit) in the case of a professional soldier remaining in service before January 2, 1999 is not determined by the date of admission to service, but the lack of the possibility to calculate the military pension taking into account the “civil” retirement age. The convergence of the right to benefits (from the general and military pension) with the parallel occurrence of these events is contrary to the constitutional principle of social justice. It is not socially just to deprive an insured person who has met the statutory requirements of the right to benefits solely on the basis of social solidarity. In such situations, a significant part of the retiree’s professional life is not reflected in the amount of received retirement benefits.

The English language has become the lingua franca of the contemporary world;
a global language. The process of globalisation has also influenced the increasing demand
for learning English. The demand involves not only general language but also language
for specific purposes, including language of the military environment, Military English.
English has also become the language of interoperability in NATO. The North
Atlantic Alliance has always paid particular attention to the knowledge of foreign languages,

Coordination Office and the development of language standards applicable to all Member
States, STANAG 6001. Language education in the armed forces in Poland follows the Alliance’s
guidelines. The correct use of military language and its understanding creates a successful
administrative and operational military environment. On account of appropriate application
of terminology, potential misunderstandings or misinterpretations of military activities can be
avoided. Language education is one of the elements of language policy in the field of security.
