Joseph Stalin’s birthday celebrations in December 1949 (the example of the Olsztyn Voivodeship)
Authors: Gieszczyński Witold
Published: March 2021

The celebrations related to the 70th anniversary of the birth of Joseph Stalin began well before their culmination, which was to take place on December 21, 1949. The communist authorities issued a special instruction
which strictly regulated the course of these celebrations. Special party meetings were organized to celebrate the
dictator. Young people gathered in workplaces, schools and youth organizations were also expected to participate
in the celebrations. Furthermore, it was recommended to study the biography of Stalin and decorate public buildings with Polish and Soviet colours, as well as portraits of Stalin and related slogans.
In Olsztyn, as in other Polish cities, the Provincial Committee for the celebration of the 70th anniversary
of Stalin was established, which included members of the political and administrative authorities, as well as representatives of the army, trade unions, social, scientific, creative and artistic organisations, and industry leaders.
However, compared to other regions in the Olsztyn Voivodeship, the celebrations of the jubilee of the birth of
Joseph Stalin had a much more modest dimension, mainly due to the typically agricultural character of the region,
as well as the relatively small population of Warmia and Masuria at that time
The Zawadzki family from Waplewo
Authors: Achremczyk Stanisław
Published: March 2021

Waplewo in the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries was dominated by several noble families but the most
important was the Zawadzki family. When the sole key to the Waplewo estate was in the hands of Kazimierz
Zawadzki, he was able to build a stately residence. Towards the end of his life, Kazimierz became the castellan of
Chełmno. He was a politician, an active participant in the Royal Prussia diets, a member of the parliament (Sejm)
a dozen times and finally he was nominated as a senator. He was also known as a writer and publicist, but he was
also known as a restless man who fell under the sentences of tribunals. He had been suing Gdańsk over the el�dership of Puck for a long time. He was married to Ludwika Katarzyna Schlieben, and she left their only son, Jan
Aleksander. After Jan Aleksander’s death, the Zawadzki Waplewo line died out. Waplewo became dominated by
Konstancja Zawadzka, the only daughter of Jan Zawadzki, brother of Kazimierz. Waplewo was ruled over by other
noble families and from 1760 by the Sierakowskis. This article outlines the process of the rise and fall of noble
fortunes in Royal Prussia.
Karp Familly from Rekijow in Samogitia in 20th century. A contribution to the history
of Polish landowners in Lithuania
Authors: Karp Sławomir
Published: March 2021

The article concerns the fate of Felicjan Karp’s family, one of the richest landowners of Samogitia (Lithuania) in the first two decades of the 20th century. After his father, he inherited approximately 40,163 hectares.
The history of this family perfectly illustrates the changes that this social class has undergone in the past century.
The end of their existence was the end of the landowner’s existence. The twilight of the Samogitian Karps took
place quite quickly, for only a quarter of a century from July 28, 1914, the date of the outbreak of World War I
to the Soviet invasion of the Republic of Lithuania on June 15, 1940. Over the course of these years - on a large
scale two-fold - military operations, changes in the political and economic system, including agricultural reform
initiated in the reborn Lithuanian state in 1922 and deportations to Siberia in 1940 brutally closed the last stable
chapter in the life of Rekijów’s owners, definitively exterminating them after more than 348 years from the land of
their ancestors. Relations between the Karp family and the Rekijów estate should be dated at least from September
21, 1592. In addition to the description of the family, it is also necessary to emphasize their significant economic
and political importance in the inhabited region. These last two aspects gained momentum especially from the
first years of the 19th century and were reflected until 1922. At that time, representatives of the Karp family jointly
owned approximately 70,050 ha and provided the country with two provincial marshals (Vilnius, Kaunas) and
two county marshals (Upita, Ponevezys). The author also presents their fate during World War II in the Siberian
Gulag, during the amnesty under the Sikorski–Majski Agreement of July 30, 1941, joining the formed Polish Army
in the USSR (August 14, 1941), the soldier’s journey through Kermine in Uzbekistan, Krasnovodsk, Caspian Sea,
Khanaqin in Iraq, Palestine to the military camp near Tel-Aviv and then Egypt and the entire Italian campaign,
that is the battles of Monte Cassino, Loreto and Ancona. After the war, leaving Italy to England (1946), followed by
a short stay in Argentina and finally settling in Perth, Australia.

of plebiscites
Authors: Albiniak Andrzej
Published: March 2021

The population of the Lublin Voivodeship assisted the areas where the plebiscites were to take place in
many ways. Launching this form of assistance was related above all to the outbreaks of further Silesian uprisings.
However, the help was not only offered to Upper Silesia as raising money for the plebiscite in Warmia and Masuria
also took place. The Lublin Voivodeship area was also engaged in the search for persons qualified to take part in
the plebiscites.

DISTANCE LEARNING OF FOREIGN LANGUAGES: A SOCIOLOGICAL ANALYSIS
Authors: Shulepova Anastasia Viktorovna
Published: March 2021

The main purpose of this paper is to identify features of distance learning of foreign languages during the COVID-19 pandemic, as the imposition of lockdown has greatly affected the educational process, and distance learning has temporarily become the main form of education. The empirical evidence is based on the findings of the first-hand sociological research conducted in November-December 2020 among the population of Russia. Drawing on the obtained data, the author concludes that pandemic-boosted distance learning of foreign languages is generally a less preferable form of acquiring knowledge and skills compared to face-to-face language education.

Background: The aims of the present study were to assess bilateral sentinel lymph node (SLN) mapping with laparoscopic versus robotic approach, to assess variables affecting bilateral detection rates and to assess survival difference in patients with no/unilateral, compared to bilateral SLN detection. Methods: This is a retrospective, single-centre, observational cohort study, including patients with endometrial cancer FIGO stage IA-IVB, treated with minimally invasive primary surgery and undergoing indocyanine green (ICG) injection to detect SLN, between January 2015 and December 2019. Results: Of the 549 included patients, 286 (52.1%) and 263 (47.9%) underwent the laparoscopic and robotic approach respectively. 387 (70.5%) patients had bilateral SLN mapping, 102 (18.6%) and 60 (10.9%) had unilateral and no mapping, respectively. Patients who underwent the robotic approach were older (median 61 versus 64 years, p=0.046) and had a higher BMI (median 26.0 versus 34.8 kg/m2, p<0.001). No difference in any SLN mapping or in SLN bilateral detection was evident between the laparoscopic or robotic approach (p=0.892 and p=0.507 respectively). Patients with bilateral SLN detection in the entire cohort were younger (p<0.001) and had a better 3-year disease-free survival (DFS) compared to patients with no/unilateral SLN mapping (77.0% versus 66.3%, respectively, p=0.036). No 3-year overall survival (OS) difference was reported (p=0.491). Conclusion: SLN mapping and bilateral SLN detection with ICG in endometrial cancer was not different in the laparoscopic and robotic approach, even though patients undergoing the robotic approach were older and more obese. Bilateral SLN detection was associated with improved 3-year DFS, but not with 3-year OS, compared to no and unilateral SLN detection.

Authors: Boschetti Ana Carolina , Coelho Charles Costa , Bini Larissa Álida , Chaveca Laura Grimberg de Sousa , Refosco Julio Cesar
Published: March 2021

This study evaluated the degree of infestation of hemiparasites of the family Loranthaceae in the urban street trees of Blumenau in 200 random sample points considering a buffer of 100 m. It was identified 19 families, 33 genera, and 39 species, counting 167 trees. From these, 66% were exotic species, 17.3% with some degree of infestation. By contrast, only 1.97% of native species were infected with mistletoe. Heat maps indicate that the highest density of infested trees occurred in central areas of the city where the presence of street trees is greater and, consequently, the possibility of contagion. Intervention is recommended in affected individuals through manual pruning and removal of the hemiparasites. Given the susceptibility of infestation in exotic trees, it is recommended to be replaced by species less susceptible.
Modelo de urbanización y desigualdad urbana. El caso de Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, México
Authors: López García Arehmi , Javier Llera Francisco , Pérez Pulido Leticia Abigail , Simental Orona Jaime
Published: March 2021

This paper analyzes the urban inequality in the Mexican city of Juarez, and how it is a consequence of the unnecessary urban sprawl encouraged by local public and private agents. The analysis makes emphasis on the processes experienced by the locality, since the early 1990s when the private sector became involved in the supply of public goods and services. This research work embraces a qualitative approach and develops a Case Study to provide evidence; it incorporates 23 semi-structured interviews with subjects from 20 different neighborhoods. Research results portray that the urban inequality experienced by local inhabitants in Juarez responds to two major reasons: the local public policy and the manipulation in the production of urban land.

We studied the mechanisms of transformation of some salivary enzymes and established the real contribution of the salivary glands to the enzymatic homeostasis of the body in unilateral nephrectomy.The results were obtained that with unilateral nephrectomy, the content of amylase and pepsinogen in the blood increases, but its lipolytic activity remains unchanged, the volume of basal secretion of the salivary glands, the content and release of amylase by the parotid salivary gland increases. Unilateral nephrectomy stimulates the increment of pepsinogen by the gastric glands, and, accordingly, enhances its recreation from the blood, by the salivary glands. After unilateral nephrectomy, lipolytic activity and its secretion in saliva remain unchanged
Chemical Energetics and Atomic Charges Distribution of Variably Sized Hydrated Sulfate Clusters in the light of Density Functional Theory
Authors: Marahatta Anant Babu
Published: March 2021

Among the ions classified in the Hofmeister series, the firstly ranked divalent sulfate anion has the strongest hydrating and water-structure making propensity. This unique characteristic actually makes it kosmotropic which causes water molecules to interact each other and contributes to gain structural stability of its hydrated clusters [SO42−(H2O)n]n = 1−40. In this study, few variably sized microhydrated sulfate clusters [SO42−(H2O)n]n = 1−4, 16 are considered separately, and inquired their chemical energetics and atomic charge distributions through ab initio based theoretical model. The main objective of this insight is to specify and interpret their thermodynamic stabilities, binding energies, and specific bonding and electronic interactions quantum mechanically. An in-depth analysis of their change in relative ground state electronic energy with respect to hydration number indicates stronger affinity of the sulfate ion towards water molecules while attaining structural stability in any aqueous type solutions. The mathematically determined values of their binding energy (DE) almost holds up the same with this structural stability order: [SO42−(H2O)16] > [SO42−(H2O)4] > [SO42−(H2O)3] > [SO42−(H2O)2] > [SO42−(H2O)], as reliable as experimentally and molecular dynamics simulation predicted trend. Moreover, the Mulliken derived partial atomic charges feature qualitative charge distribution in them which not only depicts electronic interactions between the specific atoms but also exemplifies the involvement of central sulfate units in hydrogen bond formation with surrounding water molecules.

Authors: Harefa Mangali
Published: March 2021

Violence is often experienced by adolescents, both in physical form where adolescents experience abusive treatment or in the form of verbal and psychological violence, where adolescents are often scolded with swear words and insults. Psychological violence experienced by adolescents is often threatened, always regulated and ordered by perpetrators. In addition, adolescents also experience violence in the form of financial violence, where adolescents get restrictions and controls on financial matters that are not appropriate. Crisis counseling is one way to deal with family violence experienced by adolescents. The crisis intervention method is a method to help individuals cope with negative and destructive emotional responses due to events that cause a crisis. One implementation of the crisis intervention method is the ABC method; (A) Achieve contact with the person (achieving a relationship with the person); (B) Boiling down the problem to its essential (focusing the problem on its part); (C) Cope actively with the problem (overcome the problem actively). AbstrakKekerasan sering dialami oleh remaja, baik dalam bentuk fisik di mana remaja mengalami perlakuan kasar, atau dalam bentuk kekerasan verbal dan psikologis, di mana remaja sering dimarahi dengan kata-kata makian dan hinaan. Kekerasan psikologis yang dialami remaja adalah seringnya mendapatkan ancaman, selalu diatur dan diperintah oleh pelaku. Selain itu, remaja juga mengalami kekerasan dalam bentuk kekerasan finansial, di mana remaja mendapatkan pembatasan dan pengontrolan dalam hal keuangan dengan tidak yang semestinya. Konseling krisis merupakan salah satu cara dalam mengatasi kekerasan dalam keluarga yang dialami oleh remaja. Metode Intervensi krisis merupakan sebuah metode untuk menolong individu mengatasi respons emosionalnya yang negatif dan yang merusak karena peristiwa yang menimbulkan krisis.

Published: March 2021

A 56-day study was conducted to determine the biochemical composition of fermented sorrel seed meal (FSSM) and its effect on the growth performance, carcass characteristics and internal organ weights of weaner rabbits. Forty (40) weaner rabbits with an average weight of 556.89 ±0.10g were randomly assigned to five treatment groups of 8 rabbits per treatment replicated four times with 2 rabbits per replicate in a completely randomized design (CRD) for eight weeks. Five experimental diets were compounded using FSSM at   0, 10, 20, 30 and 40% inclusion levels.  The levels of inclusion were designated as Diets 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 respectively.  The results of the growth performance were not significant (P>0.05). The result also showed no significant differences (P>0.05) in carcass characteristics and internal organ weights. It was therefore concluded that fermented sorrel seed meal can be included in weaner rabbit diets up to 40% level.

Published: March 2021

This study analyzed the profitability and determinants of groundnut production in Dambatta Local Government Area of Kano state. Multi-stage sampling technique was used in collecting data from eighty (80) respondents in the study area. The data generated were analyzed using descriptive statistics, farm budgeting model and regression analysis. The results revealed that the gross margin and net farm income of the farmers were N71400/ha and N59400/ha respectively. Also, the fixed and operating ratios were estimated at 0.1 and 0.41 respectively, while the benefit- cost ratio was N1.98. The coefficient of multiple determination (R2) was 0.739, implying that about 74% of the variation in the output of groundnut was accounted for by the explanatory variable inputs in the regression model. The regression coefficients of Farm size(X1) and Credit(X6) were positive and statistically significant at (p< 0.01), labour (X2) and Agrochemical(X5) were also positive and statistically significant at (p< 0.1), while Fertilizer(X4) was also positive and statistically significant at (p<0.05). The major constraints associated with groundnut production in the study area include; inadequate capital (86%), high cost of production inputs (83%) and lack of access to agricultural credit (78%). The study recommended that if these constraints are adequately tackled the productivity and profitability of the groundnut farmers will significantly improve.

Authors: Owolabi H. O. , Ayandele J. K. , Olaoye D. D.
Published: March 2021

Structural Equation Model (SEM) is a multivariate statistical technique that has been explored to test relationships between variables. The use of SEM to analyze relationship between variables is premised on the weak assumption of path analysis, regression analysis and so on; that variables are measured without error. This review thus sheds light on the meaning of SEM, its assumptions, steps and some of the terms used in SEM. The importance of item parcelling to SEM and its methods were briefly examined. It also dealt on the stages involved in SEM, similarities and differences between SEM and conventional statistical methods, software packages that can be used for SEM. This article employed systematic literature review method because it critically synthesized research studies and findings on structural equation modeling (SEM). It could be concluded that SEM is useful in analyzing a set of relationships between variables using diagrams. SEM can also be useful in minimizing measurement errors and in enhancing reliability of constructs. Based on this, it is recommended that SEM should be employed to test relationship between variables since it can explore complex relationships among variables such as direct, indirect, spurious, hierarchical and non-hierarchical.

The high yielding of oil pam fibre reinforced composite (OPFC) to fire has necessitated research to improve and develop fire retardants (FR) to mitigate the spread of fire. Researchers relied on Flame Retardants (FR) classified as either halogenated or non-halogenated based FR to improve the performance of composites with emphasis on flammability properties (FP). The main object of this paper is to evaluate the effect of six non-halogenated FR species in OPFC to meet required fire safety standards for building purposes. The six FR species comprising aluminum tri-hydroxide (ATH), ammonium polyphosphate (APP), Gum Arabic powder (GAP) and carbon black (CB) were processed with OPFC at 0, 15 and 18% loading ratio using hand lay-up compression moulding technique. Specimens cut from the OPFC panels were tested for flammability and thermal properties using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA/DSC Metlar Toledo) and cone calorimeter apparatus respectively. The result obtained for thermal analysis shows that the panel was thermally stable at 391.6OC before degradation began compared to those without FR while peak flammability properties obtained for heat released rates, mass loss rates and smoke production rates showed the OPFC panels rapid fire response were significantly reduced respectively by 67.4%, 50.9% and 37.5% compared to those without FR. It can be concluded that the hybrid FR comprising APP-GAP showed a stable char structure during fire and thus prevented the escape of combustible volatiles which reduced the peak FP values of the OPFC panels. These flammability properties could be said to meet required fire safety standards for building applications.

Several studies showed the interesting properties of trivalent lanthanide ions when doped in various types of phosphor. Magnesium sulfoborate phosphor doped with different concentrations of Dy3+ were synthesized using solid-state reaction method at 850 °C for 4 hours. The samples were characterized by X-ray Diffraction (XRD). The excitation and luminescence properties of MgO-SO4-B2O3:Dy3+ were determined. The emission spectrum of Dy3+ ion doped MgO-SO4-B2O3 phosphor exhibit three bands at 480 nm, 573 nm and 660 nm with excitation of 386 nm due to 4F9/2 →6H15/2, 6H13/2 and 6H11/2 of Dy3+ transitions, respectively. The excitation spectrum of Dy3+ ion doped MgO-SO4-B2O3 phosphor display several bands at 347 nm, 362 nm, 386 nm, 426 nm, 449 nm and 469 nm with emission of 573 nm, which is in agreement with the ultraviolet LED (349.9–410 nm) and blue LED (450–470 nm). An intense in the emission peak at 573 nm in the yellow region was observed with the 0.5 Dy2O3. The luminescence properties of phosphor show that MgO-SO4-B2O3:Dy3+ phosphor could be potentially used as white LEDs.

Published: March 2021

The study investigated the socioeconomic impact of coronavirus lockdown in Ibewa community, Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni Local Government Area, Rivers State. The socio-ecological resilience theory served as the theoretical framework while the cross-sectional design was used for the study. Both probability (stratified, simple random) and non-probability(purposive) sampling techniques were used for the sampling procedures. Quantitative (questionnaire) and qualitative (Seven focus groups) were used in gathering primary data. Also, Cronbach Alpha was used to measure the reliability of instrument(s). On the basis of data collection, twenty-two (22) respondents were randomly chosen from the seven (7) household groups that were already in strata (7×22=154).  Data collected for the study were analyzed with univariate (mean), bivariate(chi-square) and multivariate (multinomial/linear logistics regression) statistic(s) with the aid of Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS), Version 23.0. Based on analysis, the study discovered that lockdown led to human right abuse, economic hardship, deviant behavior among others. In view of these findings, the study recommended that the Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs Disaster Management and Social Development should design an economic recovery plan for indigent households. Also, the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control should propose a legislative framework that will curb price hike of essential commodities during disease outbreak.

The author finds that there are several reasons for the impeachment in Indonesia, which is appropriate in security – Constitution 1945 Article 7A fourth amendment. States that the President and Vice-Presidents may be dismissed during his tenure by the MPR on the proposal of the DPR. In this case, of course, if it is proven to commit a violation of the law in the form of a blasphemy against the state, corruption, bribery, or other serious criminal acts.
KONTRIBUSI MUI DALAM REKONFIGURASI SYARIAH DI INDONESIA
Authors: Nurcholis Moch.
Published: March 2021

This research describes the contribution of MUI in the reconfiguration of sharia in Indonesia, from being an unwritten law to a binding law.

MUI's efforts in reconfiguring sharia are carried out through the bureaucratization of sharia, namely the process of incorporation of sharia into national law which at an empirical level has been lived and carried out by the Muslim community in Indonesia. In contrast to the process of shariatisation or law Islamization which presupposes the replacement of national law with religious law, sharia bureaucratization is the work of labeling sharia law in legislation as an effort to guarantee legal certainty, administrative order, and achieve justice in legal disputes.

The significance of the MUI's contribution in the effort to reconfigure Islamic law is evidenced by the issuance of statutory regulations sourced from fatwa products. Reconfiguration efforts are carried out in three ways, namely; First, to provide support for the birth of certain laws and regulations; Second, provide critical support and correction to a statutory regulation; Third, give a sharia fatwa.
