Authors: Abraham Thangapalam Jawahar , Julinta Roy Beryl , Patil Prasanna Kumar
Published: December 2022

The effects of the dietary antiparasitic drug emamectin benzoate (EB) on the biosafety and kidney, liver and intestine tissue histopathology of Oreochromis niloticus were assessed. Extended EB medication at the recommended dose (50 μg/kg biomass/day) for 21 days reduced survival, feed intake and biomass. A dose-dependent hepatotoxic, nephrotoxic and intestinal toxic effects of EB were noticed. Tubular degeneration, glomerulopathy, inflammation and necrotized renal interstitium in the kidney and glycogen-type vacuolation and cytoplasmic degeneration in the liver were observed. The intestine exhibited loss of absorptive vacuoles, mucinous degeneration, necrotized intestinal villi and absorptive region and inflammation. Lamina propria swelling was noticed in the higher-dosed groups. With the termination of medication, the pathological changes were reduced significantly, indicating the ability of fish to mount adaptive responses to recoup. The extended EB administration for 21 days is unlikely to produce adverse and irrevocable effects on fish at the recommended dose.

The aim: To improve the effectiveness of diagnosis and treatment of chronic cerebral ischemia through the use of quantitative electroencephalography in civil servants on the outpatient and hospital stage.
Materials and methods: A total of 150 patients (59 males and 91 females) aged from 40 to 69 years were examined. The patients were divided into three groups statistically correlated with the main disease - chronic cerebral ischemia (CCI), degree of severity - CCI level 2, age and statistical status. Registration of brain biopotentials was performed using a computerized electroencephalograph of «TredexExpert» series. The total spectral power capacity - ASP (μV/√Hz), relative power capacity - RSP (%) were studied in the investigated frequency ranges.
Results: The study of three groups of patients with CCI of different genesis, an increase in ASP of all studied ranges, but of varying degrees of severity, was found: first, delta and theta ranges, then beta ranges, and finally, to a lesser extent, ASP of the alpha1 range and alphaS range. Therefore, the RSP of alpha1- and alphaS-bands significantly decreased in all studied groups.
Conclusions: 1. In all studied groups, the relative spectral power of the alpha 1 and alphaS bands decreased significantly. An increase in the relative spectral power of the beta-frequency rhythm in all leads was established. 2. The identified neurophysiological differences in the formation and course of dyscirculatory encephalopathy of various genesis are used to monitor the effectiveness of treatment of chronic brain ischemia.

Published: December 2022

The aim: To determine the effectiveness of the combination of the percutaneous transluminal rotational atherectomy (PTRA) techniques with plain old balloon angioplasty (POBA) and POBA monotherapy (POBA-mono) in endovascular treatment (ET) of patients with occlusive-stenotic lesions below the knee (BTK) arteries.
Materials and methods: We studied two groups, the main included patients (n=9) aged who underwent PTRA and POBA of BTK arteries, and the comparative group (POBA-mono) of patients (n=24) who underwent POBA monotherapy of BTK arteries.
Results: Thrombosis of the reconstructed segments in the target arteries after 12 months was diagnosed in 95% of patients of the control and 1 – main groups (Ft, p=0.00001). Healing of trophic ulcers of the foot in the first month after ET was observed in 78% (n=7) of patients of the main group and in 13% (n=3) of the control group (χ2 (1, n=33) = 10.2961; p=0.0013), and after 3 months – in 100% (n=9) and 83% (n=20) of patients in the respective groups.
Conclusions: The combination of PTRA with POBA reduces the probability of repeated violations of the patency of the target artery. In addition, it increases the healing efficiency of trophic ulcers of the LE compared to POBA monotherapy.

Published: December 2022

The aim: To determine the effectiveness of radiofrequency denervation of the facet joints in combination with periarticular administration of local anaesthetics in patients with facet syndrome.
Materials and methods: The early and long-term results of treatment patients with facet syndrome were analysed. The Visual Analogue Scale of pain and the Oswestry Disability Index were used. The 47 patients underwent radiofrequency denervation of the facet joints in combination with periarticular administration of local anaesthetics (the main group). The 136 patients underwent only radiofrequency denervation of the facet joints (control group).
Results: Immediately after the treatment as well as in 3 months and in 1 year after it, a reliable results of treatment of facet syndrome in both the main and the control groups was attained. At the same time, there were significant differences between the main group and the control group immediately after treatment. But in 3 months and in 1 year after it there were no such differences that proved a significantly higher efficiency of high radiofrequency denervation of facet joints in combination with periarticular administration of local anaesthetics in the early postoperative period.
Conclusions: The radiofrequency denervation of the facet joints has proved to be an effective method of treatment of patients with spondyloarthritis both in the short and long term outcomes. Periarticular administration of local anaesthetics enhances the effectiveness of radiofrequency denervation of the facet joints only for the short term outcomes.

The aim: To investigate atherosclerosis of the abdominal part of the aorta and atherosclerosis of the lumbar arteries, aimed at improving surgical tactics during reconstructive interventions on the abdominal part of the aorta in patients with multifocal atherosclerosis.
Materials and methods: 20 autopsies were performed. The macro preparation consisted of the part of the abdominal aorta 1х1 sm taken along with a separated lumbar artery for 1-1,5 sm. Histological cuts were coloured with hematoxylin and eosin. The histochemical research was conducted in order to establish changes in all layers of blood vessels. The immunohistochemical research was carried out along with generally accepted histological methods in 10 cases to determine the morphological vessel wall functional state, connective tissue and smooth muscle components.
Results: In all cases there were morphological signs of aortic atherosclerosis with different degrees of damage to the lumen. In none of the analyzed cases did we establish pathomorphological signs of atherosclerosis of the lumbar artery distal to the mouth. In the walls of the lumbar arteries, we noted the preservation of the layered structure, the integrity of the endothelial cells, the normal arrangement of smooth muscle cells.
Conclusions: It was established that there cannot be the atherosclerotic occlusion of the lumbar artery, since there are no signs of atheromatous lesions in its walls, the structure of all layers is preserved, the endothelial damage is absent, the location and structure of the lining cells is normal.

Published: December 2022

Birim alandan daha fazla gelir elde etmek isteyen üreticilerin alternatif ürünlere yönelmesi en fazla görülen
tarımsal uygulamalardan birisidir. Türkiye’nin verimli topraklarına sahip olan Çukurova’da son birkaç yıldır
muz alternatif bir ürün konumuna gelmiştir. Tüm Türkiye’de muz üretim alanlarına artışın paralelinde,
Çukurova Bölgesi’nde de muz tarımı için kurulan seraların sayısında dikkat çekici artış görülmüştür. Adana
ilinde muz üretim alanlarını artışı %400’lere çıkmıştır. Muzun içerdiği zengin vitamin ve mineraller ile ve
lifli yapısıyla tokluk hissi vermesi beslenmede önemli bir yer tutmaktadır. Birim alandan kazancı yüksek olan
tarımsal ürünlerden biri olması sebebiyle, kurulacak olan bir muz serasının 7-8 yılda kurulum maliyetlerini
karşıladığı ve diğer bölge bitkilerine oranla daha yüksek düzeyde kar edildiği belirtilmiştir. Bu çalışmada, İl
Toprak Koruma Kurulu tarafından izin verilen 10 adet muz serasının toprak/arazi özellikleri ele alınmıştır.
Ovanın yukarı, orta ve aşağı kısımlarından tesadüfi olarak seçilen muz seralardan toprak örnekleri alınmış ve
seçili fiziksel ve kimyasal analizleri yapılmıştır. Bununla birlikte arazi özellikleri de dikkate alınarak bu 10
toprak örnekleme noktası temelinde Ovanın muz yetiştiriciliğine uygunluk düzeyi genel hatları ile

Authors: KAMAN Harun
Published: December 2022

Tarımsal üretimin verimliliği ve sürdürülebilirliği tarımsal yapıya bağlı olarak değişebilmektedir. Tarım
arazilerine ulaşım, sulama suyuna erişim, drenaj ve mekanizasyon faaliyetlerinin uygunluğu gibi tarımsal
yapıyla ilgili faktörler tarımsal üretimde etkin rol oynamaktadır. Üretim yapılan arazi parsellerinin küçülmüş,
bölünmüş ve şekillerinin bozulmuş olması; tarımsal verimi düşürmekte, arazilere ulaşım zorlaşmakta ve yolda
geçen süre artmaktadır. Ayrıca, tarım makine ve mekanizasyon faaliyetleri de güçleşmektedir. İlave olarak,
tarımsal altyapıdaki söz konusu bozukluk sulama suyuna erişimi kısıtlayarak, yapılacak olan sulama
projelerinin daha fazla maliyetli olmasına neden olmaktadır. Bu nedenle, Türkiye’nin tarımsal altyapısında

Published: December 2022

Examining the language of a literary text can be a reliable way of comprehending literary writers’ experiences. This paper explores the relationship between linguistic forms and socially construed meaning in Atukwei Okai’s poem, “The Oath of the Fontomfrom”. The objectives of the study were to (1) examine the poet’s process choices and their typical distribution in the text, (2) assess the participant characteristics of each process category, and (3) establish the role of the speaker/persona in the poem. This descriptive qualitative study was underpinned by the transitivity framework of Halliday and Matthiessen’s (2014) Systemic Functional Linguistics. So, a content analysis tool was used in analysing the text by revealing how meaning is presented. The results revealed that the poet (or persona) used different kinds of processes to present meaning to his reader.Consequently, when these processes were analysed, the results indicated that material processes were most frequently used. The distribution of process types includes 42% material, 16% mental, 15% behavioural, 13% relational, and 10% verbal processes. Again, the persona is involved in 32 processes, constituting 35% of the total processes. The preponderance of material processes revealed that the poet portrayed warfare as mainly involving concrete physical actions.

In recent years, the interest of both the general public and the scientific community to get better acquainted with the culture of national minorities in Ukraine has been growing. Therefore, intelligence becomes relevant, which covers the processes of development of cultures of these minorities and actualizes the directions of further research in this area. One such minority is the Jewish minority. Jews belong to one of the oldest ethnic minorities in Ukraine, known since ancient times. The number of Jews declined sharply in Ukraine in the middle of the last century, due to the policy of extermination by the German Nazis during World War II, and continued to decline during the independence of Ukraine due to the departure of a large number of Jews to their ancient homeland. territory of the State of Israel. However, in the new post-Soviet conditions of an independent Ukrainian state, the Jewish community has better opportunities to develop its national culture. The purpose of the article and our task was to review the personal fund of the economist and researcher of the history of the Jewish community of eastern Poland and western Ukraine, which makes up the historical and biographical background. Archival research methods were used in compiling the descriptions of J. Honigsman’s fund, and a biographical method was used in compiling the biographical information about the scientist. Autobiographies, personal documents, memoirs, articles about the scientist, as well as correspondence were used for the analysis. General historical research methods and the historical source method were useful. The described archive of J. Honigsman can be useful first of all to economists who study the economy of Western Ukraine in the second half of the XIX – early XX centuries. There are some values of his work on the life and death (Holocaust) of Jews during the German occupation of Galicia, as well as documents relating to the life of the Jewish community in Lviv after Ukraine gained independence in 1991.

Jubilee album on the ocassion of 30th anniversary of metropolitan work of Andrew Sheptytsky as a sphragistic source (from collection of Research Institute for Library's Art Resources, Vasyl Stefanyk National Scientific Library of Ukraine in Lviv)
Authors: Holii Roman
Published: December 2022

The anniversary album of A. Sheptytsky belongs to the unique historical sources of 1930–1931. There are almost 150 seals in the album. This seals are represented by Ukrainian sphragistics of the end of the 19th – the first third of the 20th centuries. The album contains church deanery and parish seals of the Stryi Protopresbytery of the Lviv Diocese, which included the Bolehivskyi, Dolynskyi, Zhydachivskyi, Zhuravenskyi, Lyubinetskyi, Mykolaivskyi, Peregyn- s- kyi, Rozhnyativskyi, Skolivskyi, Stryiskyi, Tukhlyanskyi deaneries. During the study, the methods of comparison, classification and reconstruction of seals were used. Due to the comparison of seals, it was concluded that some seals were replaced. There are statistics on the authenticity of this sphragistic source in the conclusions.
These seals can be a valuable source for special historical disciplines, as well as for research into the development of the Ukrainian language, local and church history, and other aspects of the social life of Galicia in the XIX–XX centuries. But there are 9 % of undefined images of parish seals in the album. About 4 % of the seals are errors or substitutions. However, these shortcomings also contain some information about the attitude of seal owners to their use.
There are four types of seals in the album: emblematic, hagiographic, titular, onomastic. The most common symbol on seals is the cross. There are four ver-sions of the cross on deanery seals (mostly accompanied by a hat with tassels), and there are eleven versions on parish seals. Hagiographic images on the seals most often reflect the name of the church, although there are cases in the album of inconsistencies between the image on the seal and the name of the church.
Keywords: sphragistics, parish seals, Galicia, A. Sheptytsky, anniversary album, critique of sphragistic sources.
The jubilee editions of 1930’s of the institutions of Greek Catholic Church in Galicia
Authors: Ilnytska Luiza
Published: December 2022

Jubilee editions of such institutions of the Greek Catholic Church as: the Theological Scientific Society, the Greek Catholic Theological Academy, and theological seminaries in Lviv and Przemyśl, published in Galicia in the 1930s, are considered. Publications covered the scientific and educational activities of the mentioned institutions based on the documentary materials. These reflect the leading role of both the head of the Greek Catholic Church, Metropolitan Andrey Sheptytskyi, and the rector of the Theological Academy, Dr. Josyp Slipyi. The documents and materials presented in the jubilee editions, such as the messages of Metropolitan Sheptytskyi, reports of rector J. Slipyi, bibliography of publications of the Theological Scientific Society and Theological Academy, biographies of religious and cultural figures of Galicia, registers of scientific seminars on theology, philosophy, history, Slavic philology and sacred art, evidence the deep scientific research undertaken in the field of humanitarian studies. The main organizer of scientific research in the interwar period was the Shevchenko Scientific Society in Lviv, but the other institutions, such as: the Theological Scientific Society and the Theological Academy, the only Ukrainian higher school in Galicia, also took an important part in the development of national science and culture. Ukrainian theological science was represented at the European level by the journal «Theology», the edition published by the Theological Scientific Society, and later by the Theological Academy. It published materials written not only by theologians, but also by Ukrainian and foreign historians, writers, art critics, philosophers, and national educational figures, which contributed to revitalizing public life in Galicia. The use of these materials and documents by modern researchers of the history of the Greek-Catholic Church of the interwar period in publications, fundamental editions, discussions at symposia and scientific seminars, which are mentioned in the article, attests to the relevance and source value of such jubilee publications.

Wpływ zastrzeżenia warunku na rozkład ryzyka przypadkowej utraty lub uszkodzenia towaru w umowie międzynarodowej sprzedaży towarów
Authors: Filipiak Anna
Published: December 2022

Konwencja Narodów Zjednoczonych o umowach międzynarodowej sprzedaży towarów (zwana dalej CISG) przyjęta została w ponad 60 państwach, w tym w krajach wiodących w handlu zagranicznym. Dziś już, po ponad 20|latach od chwili jej sporządzenia, nie ma wątpliwości, że stanowi pierwszą udaną próbę unifikacji prawa w zakresie umowy sprzedaży w skali światowej. Z tego względu szczególnego znaczenia nabiera wymóg jednolitości stosowania i wykładni przepisów CISG (art. 7 zd. 1 CISG). W literaturze przedmiotu podkreśla się, że CISG jest autonomicznym aktem prawnym i powinna być interpretowana w sposób odrębny od prawa krajowego. Zasada autonomicznej wykładni konwencji wymaga z kolei, aby strony umów i sąd stosujący CISG uwzględniały m.in. interpretację CISG przyjmowaną w innych państwach. Niezbędne jest zatem rozpowszechnianie orzecznictwa wydawanego w materii regulowanej przez CISG. Cel ten osiągnąć można, analizując rozstrzygnięcia podejmowane przez sądy innych państw konwencyjnych. Przedmiotem niniejszego opracowania jest analiza przepisów CISG dotyczących ryzyka przypadkowej utraty lub uszkodzenia towaru (art. 66-70 CISG) na przykładzie orzeczenia sądu niemieckiego (Oberlandesgerichtshof Schleswig-Holstein) z dnia 29 października 2002 r., w którym poruszone zostały dwa zasadnicze zagadnienia dotyczące: I) rozdziału wspomnianego ryzyka w umowach sprzedaży z zastrzeżeniem warunku; 2) zakresu swobody stron umowy w ustalaniu reguł przejścia ryzyka. Omawiane orzeczenie daje asumpt do podjęcia głębszej analizy wpływu zastrzeżenia warunku i jego ziszczenia (nieziszczenia) się na rozkład ryzyka przypadkowej utraty lub uszkodzenia towaru, zwłaszcza że CISG nie rozstrzyga w sposób wyraźny powyższych kwestii, a w literaturze przedmiotu przedstawiane są w tym zakresie zróżnicowane stanowiska.
Bolesław Wiewióra – pionier powojennej polskiej nauki o uznaniu nabytków terytorialnych
Authors: Zaręba Szymon
Published: December 2022

Celem artykułu jest odpowiedź na pytanie, dlaczego książce Bolesława Wiewióry Uznanie nabytków terytorialnych w prawie międzynarodowym nie udało się zdobyć szerszego rozgłosu poza granicami Polski mimo wysokiego poziomu naukowego, nie ustępującego analogicznym monografiom zagranicznym publikowanym w tamtym czasie. Autor analizuje życiorys Bolesława Wiewióry, jego dorobek naukowy oraz osiągnięcia w zakresie nauki o uznaniu nabytków terytorialnych, w tym ich wartość dla polskiej doktryny prawa międzynarodowego.

The article seeks to provide an answer to a question why the book Uznanie nabytków terytorialnych w prawie międzynarodowym (which translates to Recognition of territorial acquisitions in international law) by a Polish scholar, B. Wiewióra, did not receive wide acclaim abroad despite its scientific level being at least equal in quality to foreign monographs on the subject published at the time. It examines the life of B. Wiewióra, his scholarly achievements and accomplishments in the field of recognition of territorial acquisitions, including their importance for Polish literature on international law.
Przenikanie się prawa konstytucyjnego, prawa pracy i prawa administracyjnego na przykładzie polskiego prawa urzędniczego w świetle orzecznictwa (zagadnienia wybrane)
Authors: Drobny Wojciech
Published: December 2022

W artykule przedstawiono rozważania na temat przenikania się w systemie prawa instytucji prawa administracyjnego, konstytucyjnego i pracy. W ujęciu historycznym wskazano na kierunek i dynamikę zmian w obszarze prawa urzędniczego. Wskazano na pozaprawne czynniki wpływające na ustawodawcę, które powodują zaburzenie jasnego, teoretycznego podziału prawa na gałęzie prawa. Rozważania zilustrowano orzecznictwem sądów administracyjnych i powszechnych a także Trybunału Konstytucyjnego w zakresie interpretacji wybranych, kluczowych instytucji prawa urzędniczego, tj. zakresu podmiotowego służby cywilnej, zakresu pojęcia „administracja rządowa” i istoty postępowania kwalifikacyjnego w służbie cywilnej.

The study discusses the interpenetration of administrative, constitutional and labor law institutions in the legal system. In historical terms, the direction and dynamics of changes in the area of civil service law have been indicated. Non-legal factors influencing legislators, which disrupt the clear, theoretical division of law into branches of law, have been indicated. The considerations are illustrated by the jurisprudence of the administrative and common courts as well as the Constitutional Tribunal, in the field of interpretation of selected key institutions of civil service law (the subjective scope of the civil service, the scope of the term ‘government administration’ and the essence of the qualification procedure in the civil service).
Krótkotrwały zakaz prowadzenia pojazdów mechanicznych w prawie niemieckim (Fahrverbot) jako inspiracja dla polskiego ustawodawcy
Authors: Głuchowski Michał
Published: December 2022

W Niemczech karę krótkotrwałego zakazu prowadzenia pojazdów mechanicznych stosuje się już od 1965 r. w walce z przestępczością drogową. Od 2017 r. możliwe jest jej orzekanie w reakcji na wszelkie przestępstwa, jednak w praktyce większe znaczenie ma zakaz orzekany w postępowaniu wykroczeniowym. W oparciu o niemieckie doświadczenia, krytyce poddano automatyzm i natychmiastowość polskiego środka zatrzymania prawa jazdy przy rażącym przekroczeniu prędkości. Autor formułuje wniosek de lege ferenda, iż należy zrezygnować z obecnej regulacji i wprowadzić środek karny zawieszenia uprawnień do prowadzenia pojazdów mechanicznych do kodeksu karnego i kodeksu wykroczeń jako uzupełnienie zakazu prowadzenia pojazdów.
 
The criminal punishment of a short-term driving ban was introduced in Germany in 1965 to combat road traffic offences. Since 2017, the ban may be imposed in response to every criminal offence. This penalty has numerous advantages and only minor disadvantages. In Poland, however, its target group would overlap with the restriction of liberty. In Germany, driving bans imposed after regulatory offences are much more prevalent. Based on the German experiences, this article criticizes the Polish regulation on automatic and immediate seizure of the driving licence and its subsequent suspension after speeding. Furthermore, a short-term driving ban should be introduced to the Polish Criminal Code and the Petty Offences Code as a new penal measure supplementing the driving disqualification.
