Authors: Jacobs-Nzuzi Khuabi L , Ally K , Khan S , Moolman M , Mustapha A , Parker S
Published: August 2022

AIM: This study explores the lived experiences of adolescent learners with Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI) from a low to middle-income context when they transition from primary to secondary school. An understanding of the insider perspective of this school transition process sought to illuminate the factors that facilitate or hinder learners' primary to secondary school transition. METHOD: An interpretive phenomenological research design was used. Four participants were purposively selected. The data collection method included semi-structured face to face interviews. Data were analysed inductively using Burnard's Framework. Four themes emanated from the data including: changes in functioning; personal resources; enabling external support structures and gaps in support structures. RESULTS: For learners with TBI, there are factors that facilitate a positive primary to secondary school transition including them drawing on personal resources and the support that they receive from enabling external support structures. Barriers to the school transition following a TBI, include the changes in physical, mental, and social functions that impact on adolescents' ability to fulfil their learner role as well as gaps in the provision of support within the multi systems within the learners' environment. CONCLUSION: Members of the multidisciplinary team, should adopt a learner-centred approach for interventions that seeks to prepare and support learners with TBI for their primary to secondary school transition. Planning the primary to secondary school transition should seek to prepare the learner, and those in the learner's context.
Modelling and analysis of a hydraulic support prop under impact load
Authors: Zhai G.D. , Yang X.
Published: August 2022

The prop is the most important part to ensure the proper functioning of hydraulic support. When the hydraulic support is impacted by the roof, the prop is prone to extrusion deformation, expansion, and even bursting. In order to study the stress on a doubly-telescopic hydraulic support prop under impact load, an impact simulation was carried out based on the drop weight method. First, the impact model of the hydraulic system of the prop was established in AMESim software and the dynamic response curves of the bottom and middle cylinder of the prop obtained. Then, according to the conservation of energy, the pressure formulaes in the hydraulic cylinder of the prop under impact load were derived and verified by the AMESim simulation results, and the maximum pressure on the inner surface of the hydraulic cylinder of the prop obtained. Lastly, the transient dynamic simulation of a hydraulic support prop was carried out in ANSYS Workbench software, and cloud diagrams of stress and deformation of the prop obtained using Workbench simulation. The AMESim simulation process describes the change in fluid pressure in the prop, and the pressure formulae can be used to estimate the internal pressure of the prop under impact load. The finite element analysis results show that the stress of the middle hydraulic cylinder is much greater than that on the bottom hydraulic cylinder under impact load, which can provide a reference for prop design.
Effect of electrode flux composition on impact toughness of austenitic stainless-steel weld metal
Authors: Lubbe G. , Pistorius P.G.H. , Konadu D.S.
Published: August 2022

The aim of this investigation was to determine whether the composition of a shielded-metal arc-welding electrode coating affected the low-temperature impact toughness of austenitic stainless-steel weld metal. It is generally accepted that increases in the 5-ferrite and nitrogen contents result in a decrease in toughness at low temperatures. Weld metal from electrodes with a basic coating also generally exhibit better toughness than those from rutile (acidic) electrodes. An increase in basicity was expected to decrease the number and size of inclusions, which in turn provides a tougher weld metal. Three commonly available potassium-rutile E308L electrodes were used, complying with the E308L-16 and E308L-17 specifications. Analysis of the electrode coatings showed very similar chemistry and basicity. Significant differences in the inclusion contents of the weld metals were observed: the E308L-17 weld metal had a lower inclusion content (1.4% by volume) than the E308L-16 weld metal (3.7%). The former had higher impact toughness at all temperatures, despite a slightly higher nitrogen content. Regression analysis confirmed that the inclusion content had a significant effect on the impact toughness at all temperatures.
Effect of titanium content on solidification structure of ferritic stainless steel gas-tungsten and gas-metal arc welds
Authors: Linda L.S. , Pistorius P.G.H
Published: August 2022

Ferritic stainless steel is utilized to fabricate automotive exhaust systems using a ferritic weld metal. Ductility of the weld metal is higher if its microstructure contains a significant proportion of equiaxed grains. The formation of equiaxed (rather than columnar) grains is favoured by a higher titanium weld metal content. In this study, the Ti content of ferritic stainless steel weld metal was changed by using Ti-free (Type 436) and Ti-containing (441) ferritic stainless steel as base metals. The metal-cored welding consumable contained 0.4% Ti. Gas-tungsten arc welding and gas-metal arc welding processes were compared. The weld metal Ti content ranged from zero to 0.5% Ti, as determined from scanning electron microscopy supplemented by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy. Cross-sections of the weld beads were subjected to point counting (to estimate the fraction of equiaxed grains) and image analysis (to estimate the average grain size). Point counting proved to be more reliable. The fraction of equiaxed grains was sensitive to the Ti content, but not to the welding process. Below 0.4% Ti, the fraction of equiaxed grains gradually increased with an increase in the weld metal Ti content; above 0.4% Ti, the fraction of equiaxed grains rapidly increased with increasing Ti content. The transition in behaviour at 0.4% Ti corresponded to a Ti content at which Ti-rich precipitates became stable at the estimated liquidus temperature of the weld metal.
Using the Residency Matched Method and Intent to Practice Method to Estimate Primary Care Workforce Production
Authors: Kellerman Rick , Ofei-Dodoo Samuel , Rohrberg Tessa , Fisher Lynn , Henry Caitlin
Published: August 2022

Introduction. Many medical schools overestimate the percentage of their graduates who enter the primary care workforce based on the “first-certificate” residency their graduates enter. To rectify this problem, Deutchman et al. (2020) proposed a new method of estimation. The objective of this study was to compare results from the traditional residency match and Deutchman methods to the actual percentage of University of Kansas School of Medicine (KUSM) graduates who practice primary care after completing medical school and all  residency and subspeciality fellowship training. 
Methods. We conducted a retrospective study using a convenience sample of KUSM graduates from 2003-2014. We compared percentages of graduates classified as primary care by the traditional Residency Match Primary Care Method (RMPCM) and the percentages of graduates identified as primary care by Deutchman’s Intent to Practice Primary Care Method (IPPCM) with the actual percentage of graduates who eventually entered the primary care workforce.
Results. Of the 1944 KUSM graduates identified during the study period, the RMPCM predicted a 48.1% primary care output rate. The Deutchman’s IPPCM predicted a 22.8% primary care output rate. The actual known percentage of graduates practicing primary care was 34.2%.
Conclusions. Neither the RMPCM nor the Deutchman’s IPPCM performed well in predicting the percentage or number of KUSM graduates who eventually practiced primary care. Due to predictions for the shortage of primary care physicians, there is a need to identify a method that more accurately predicts the medical schools’ contribution to the primary care workforce.

Regional economies: Reality, and national TV reporting
Authors: Suchaček Jan , Urminský Jaroslav
Published: August 2022

The problem of the spatial patterns of information transmitted by media is insufficiently debated within the literature so far. In relation to territorial marketing, in most countries the role of TV coverage is a pivotal one as it has the most intense impact on the wider public. Moreover, the TV news-reporting agenda to a large degree also epitomises the press and radio coverage agenda. This paper aims at assessing whether the selected attributes of real economic life in NUTS III regions in Czechia find their adequate portrayal in the regionally related contributions of an economic character that appear in national TV news reporting. Our attention was devoted primarily to the territorial perspective; more specifically, to the 14 self-governing regions in Czechia. In order to reduce the urban character of Prague, two NUTS III regions with the same centre, Prague and Central Bohemia, were aggregated into one territory. This is compliant with their natural geographical characteristics. Thus, the final number of analysed territories reached thirteen. Naturally, the share of news about the given topics in individual regions should roughly correspond to the presence of the themes in terms of territorial statistics. We will attempt to examine the intensity of the above-mentioned congruence.
In this article, we shall concentrate on selected economic pillars. These pillars include economic life, economic policy, economic criminality, as well as research, development, and education. These pillars facilitate the evaluation of centralities and peripheralities in Czechia with regard to both material (i.e., real) and intangible (i.e., TV coverage-based) components. The process of gatekeeping plays a critical role in the selection of information that is transformed into media. Moreover, one cannot ignore the media bias – i.e., the bias or perceived bias of journalists and news producers – within the mass media in the selection of events and stories that are reported and the way they are covered.
The research question posed in the frame of this article is as follows: can the significant differences between the virtual portrayals and genuine economic characteristics be found in all investigated territories in Czechia? Quantitative content analysis has been utilised for the classification and structuration of individual contributions in TV news reporting. In sum, disproportions between the real and virtual economic characters of regions are identified. Deviations from potential balance could be found in all of four defined economic pillars. Even more, single events may be so intensive that they affect and even distort the whole media portrayal of concrete regions. Subsequently, the relationship between centralities and peripheralities may become more intense and at the same time flexible within the virtual dimension. In this way, the intangible dimensions of centralities and peripheralities can act as either supportive or mitigating powers in relation to their material counterparts.

Formulation, optimization and evaluation of self nanoemulsifying drug delivery system of paliperidone
Authors: Lakshmi Vijaya , Sunitha N , Babu S. Manohar
Published: August 2022

Paliperidone is a BCS-II drug. It means paliperidone is poorly water soluble and hence shows problem in absorption as well as permeation through GIT which together contributes for its lower oral bioavailability. Paliperidone as drug, oil oleic acid, surfactant labrasol and co surfactant labrafil m 1944 were taken and formulation were done. From the emulsification time study as the concentration of Smix increases emulsification time decreases. Further emulsification time study I found that F3 has the lowest emulsification time. From the dissolution study it was observed that Q30 is above 85% obtained for formulation F3 and F6 that is 93.75 & 91.25. This can be due to the higher concentration of Smix present in formulation F3 & F6 since mean cumulative % drug release at 30min (Q30) is highest for F3 formulation and it was selected for optimized formulation. As in the DSC study thecrystalline property of Paliperidone is lost and it becomes amorphous. In the FT-IR study there is no significance sifting of characteristic peak. Hence there is no incompatibility between drug and excipient.

Urinary tract infection is one of the most common bacterial disease found in all age groups and has become a major health problem in developing countries. UTI’s are treated with various antibiotics but extensive and inappropriate use of antibiotics promotes the development of antibiotic resistance among uropathogenic bacteria and also responsible for emerging multidrug resistant strains. The development of drug resistance among uropathogens made treatment of UTI is difficult which has led to the search of new source of antimicrobial agent that act against these uropathogenic bacteria. The ethnomedicinal plants are natural resource and known as traditional healer, which can use for successful therapy of various infectious diseases. In present study, we observed antibacterial potential of methanolic root extract of two medicinal plants and against urinary tract infection causing uropathogens.

Published: August 2022

La comprobación del dolo y elementos subjetivos del tipo distintos al dolo en el marco de un proceso penal es en demasía complicada, pues fácilmente se advierte la imposibilidad para el juzgador de conocer lo que el ejecutor de la conducta tenía en mente al momento de quebrantar la norma y poner en riesgo los bienes jurídicos protegidos. En tal circunstancia, esta obra se encamina a proveer al operador jurisdiccional y a cualquier amante del Derecho penal, de los indicadores fácticos que servirán para demostrar que en el caso concreto el sujeto activo conocía que su conducta era riesgosa para la indemnidad de los bienes jurídicos.
Haciendo una lectura moral de la Constitución

Published: August 2022

Se examina la teoría de la constitución denominada la lectura moral, de Dworkin. Esta teoría tiene particular interés porque conecta con una concepción del derecho que ha contribuido a generar y/o revitalizar debates nucleares iusteóricos y porque presenta conexiones con temas centrales de la teoría del Estado constitucional. Según la tesis central de la teoría de la constitución del mencionado autor, cuando un juez se enfrenta a un caso que requiere interpretar contenidos de la constitución, es inevitable incurrir en juicios de valor políticos y morales.

Simple Arthroscopic Technique to Perform Retrograde Drilling for Osteonecrosis of the Femoral Condyles with the Use of Anterior Cruciate Ligament Guide
Authors: Koukoulias Nikolaos , Vasiliadis Angelo V , Dimitriadis Theofilos
Published: August 2022

This technical note describes a simple arthroscopic technique that was introduced without the need for further staff during an operation to address osteonecrosis of the medial femoral condyle. A 2.4 mm pin was positioned through the sleeve of an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tibial guide and marked with a steri-strip at its body, aiming at 5–10 mm distance between the tips of guide and the pin. The steri-strip serves as a marker and as a stop for inadvertent violation of the cartilage. The tip of the ACL was positioned just over the bone lesion, while the marked 2.4 mm pin was inserted through the ACL tibial guide from anterior surface of the femur. A stab incision was made and without advancing the sleeve to the bone, the pin was drilled to the marked position while cartilage integrity was confirmed arthroscopically. This arthroscopic technique is simple, fast and effective and is performed without the need for special equipment.

Published: August 2022

Objective: to establish the prevalence of dyslipidemia and its relationship with the body mass index, waist-height index and waist circumference in students of the higher technology specialization in military sciences, as well as military personnel who work at the University of the Armed Forces of Ecuador - ESPE.

Methodology: this was an analytical, non-experimental study with a sample of 495 second-year students of the Superior Technology Specialization in Military Sciences and 196 military personnel who work at ESPE.Results: The study found 8,48 % (n: 42) prevalence of general dyslipidemia in students, differentiated by hypercholesterolemia 1,82 % (n: 9), hypertriglyceridemia 6,26 % (n: 31) and mixed dyslipidemia 0,4 % (n: 2). Additionally, it found 58,67 % (n: 115) prevalence of general dyslipidemia in professional military personnel, with hypercholesterolemia 9,18 % (n: 18), hypertriglyceridemia 25,51 % (n: 50) and mixed dyslipidemia 23,98 % (n: 47). Finally, the lower limit to diagnose dyslipidemia for body mass index in students was 25,67 kg/m2, for waist circumference 76,5 cm and for waist height ratio 0,47, and in professional military personnel, body mass index of 26,3 kg/m2, waist circumference of 86 cm and waist height ratio of 0,52.

Conclusions: the students and military personnel studied have a significantly low prevalence of dyslipidemia compared to the general student and military personnel population and the values of WC and WHtR were seen to be good predictors of dyslipidemia in military personnel but not in the students.
C-terminal Motifs of HIV-1 gp41 as Possible Determinants of Viral Pathogenesis
Authors: Narváez-Pardo Jorge Andrés , Villarreal José-Luis , Varela Prieto Lourdes Luz , Cervantes-Acosta Guillermo
Published: August 2022

Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) is the etiological agent of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), a pandemic with high economic and social costs. The envelope glycoprotein (env) of the virus mediates the infectious process by binding to and entering the host cell, one of the main target components of studies since its discovery. Its endodomain or C-terminal tail (CTT) participates in late replicative cycle processes, such as intracellular trafficking, activation, and cell death, which occurs because it interacts with multiple cellular factors through motifs or signal sequences present throughout its structure. Although these interactions have not been fully understood at specific levels, studies over more than three decades leave no doubt that this domain plays a fundamental role in the biology of the virus and probably the development of the disease. This review describes the studies carried out to date that demonstrate the importance of the CTT, focusing on the motifs responsible for its interactions and its possible roles in the pathogenicity of the infection.

A implantação de pastagens pode ser favorecida por estratégias que combinem métodos convencionais de cultivo com a inoculação de microrganismos promotores de crescimento de plantas, como a rizobactéria Azospirillum brasilense, que são capazes de melhorar o estado nutricional das plantas através de vários mecanismos, incluindo a solubilização de fosfatos e a fixação biológica de nitrogênio, e com isso, reduzir a necessidade de aplicação de fertilizantes químicos. Objetivou-se avaliar a produção de forragem e os teores de macronutrientes nas folhas do capim Tamani, adubado com fosfato natural e inoculado com Azospirillum brasilense. O experimento foi realizado em casa de vegetação, em um delineamento inteiramente casualizado, organizado em esquema fatorial 2 x 2 x 5, com 3 repetições. Os tratamentos consistiram na presença e ausência da rizobactéria; duas fontes de fósforo (superfosfato triplo e fosfato natural); e cinco doses de nitrogênio (0; 75; 150; 225 e 300 kg ha-1), utilizadas como parâmetros para estimar o nitrogênio fixado biologicamente. A concentração de nutrientes foi determinada em amostras de cortes realizados aos 56, 84 e 112 dias após a emergência. Os efeitos da adubação nitrogenada foram avaliados por análise de regressão, com resultados demonstrando que os teores de N, Mg e S aumentam e os de P diminuem linearmente em função das doses aplicadas. A inoculação melhora o estado nutricional das plantas, aumentando os teores foliares de N, P, K, resultando em maior produção de fitomassa seca, além de reduzir a necessidade de aplicação de nitrogênio em até 40 kg ha-1.

A composição química das bebidas fermentadas é determinante para delinear suas características sensoriais, sendo estas dependentes do cultivo da fruta, do processamento, da estabilização, do armazenamento e das características intrínsecas da região produtora. A fermentação alcoólica é um processo bioquímico de relevância para a produção de bebidas com características químicas e sensoriais únicas e a análise do comportamento fermentativo promove condições reais de controle deste processo para maximizar a qualidade da bebida produzida. O presente trabalho teve o objetivo de estudar a cinética de fermentação do suco de abacaxi pérola e havaiano, comercializado no município de Frutal, Minas Gerais, determinando as suas propriedades físico-químicas com o objetivo de observar os parâmetros necessários para otimizar o controle do processo fermentativo. As bebidas apresentaram elevada acidez (máximo de 41,7 g/L em ácido cítrico) e extrato seco (47,7 g/L após a fermentação) resultando em bebidas encorpadas. Todas as bebidas foram classificadas como secas (teor de açúcar redutor abaixo de 4 g/L), teor alcoólico máximo de 7,93 % v/v (Pérola) e 5,10 % v/v (Havaiano) e com teor elevado de fenólicos totais (máximo de 1049 mg/L para o Pérola e 852 mg/L para o Havaiano) pressupondo elevada capacidade antioxidante. Os parâmetros cinéticos mostraram que o tempo de 72 horas após o início da fermentação alcoólica pode ser considerado como necessário para a consolidação do processo fermentativo.

As características produtivas das comunidades evidenciaram o não uso de quaisquer suplementos agrícolas assemelhando-se ao modelo de produção orgânica.
Release from Punishment under the Draft New Criminal Code of Ukraine
Authors: Gorokh Oleksiy
Published: August 2022

Reforming criminal law leads to the emergence of new or improvement of existing legal institutions, which actualizes the conduct of thorough research. The purpose of the article is seen in the definition of the author’s vision of the model of the institution of release from punishment in the draft of the new Criminal Code of Ukraine. To achieve this goal using historical and legal, comparative, dialectical, systemic, hermeneutic and other methods, we critically analyzed national and foreign legislation, doctrinal provisions, and highlighted the proposals for the draft of the new Criminal Code of Ukraine.According to the results of the study, the main novelties of reforming the legal institution of release from punishment are substantiated. The considerations guided by the working group on the development of the new criminal legislation in formulating new legislative provisions are given. The necessity of changing the terminology of the institute of release from punishment is proved. The expediency of enshrining in the legislation new sub-institutions of the institute of release from punishment is substantiated: non-sentencing; non-execution of the sentencing; deferral of execution of sentencing; suspension of execution of punishment. Arguments concerning expediency of optimization of the system of types of release from punishment are resulted. It is argued that the institution of release from criminal liability is inconsistent with the principle of presumption of innocence. In this regard, the expediency of transforming this legal institution into an institution of release from punishment has been proven. The ways of systematization of types of release from punishment provided in the legislation of the criminal block are defined. The types of release from punishment have been systematized taking into account the stage of criminal proceedings. The way of solving the problem of ensuring the system of external relations of the system of types of release from punishment within the legislation of the criminal bloc is highlighted. A new vision of amnesty and pardon regulation is proposed.The urgency of improvement in the new legislation of legal regulation of the types of release from punishment tested in practice is argued: in connection with the expiration of the statute of limitations; release from serving a probation sentence; parole.Demonstrated as positive obligations of the state in the field of human rights have influenced the design of provisions on exemption from punishment for illness, parole, amnesty.

Authors: Pustovoitova Yаna
Published: August 2022

The article based on the study of scientific sources and investigative practice examines the features of the search during the investigation of illegal extraction of precious stones of organogenic formation. It is noted that the search is the investigative (search) action that is carried out in almost every criminal proceeding during the investigation of illegal extraction of precious stones of organogenic formation. At the same time, the procedure is multifaceted, which is due to the need not only to achieve the task of justice but also not to restrict the rights and freedoms of citizens. It is noted that in preparation for this investigative (search) action it is mandatory to obtain information: about the persons who will be searched; about the objects you need to find; about the place where the search will be conducted.The efficiency of the organization of the tactical operation “Group Search” is argued. It is noted that if there are several places of search, it is necessary to conduct a tactical operation “Allowing a search with a negative result”.However, if the wanted persons are to be detained, a tactical operation “Search – Detention” is being carried out. The author gives the list of objects that are the object of the search and the criteria for their delimitation in the investigation of illegal extraction of precious stones of organogenic formation. Attention is paid to the tactical and organizational principles of this investigative (search) action. Several problems during searches in criminal proceedings of this category are analyzed and ways to eliminate them are suggested. Recommendations for quality evidence collection are provided. The author pays special attention to the fact that the success of the search and, ultimately, all effective and impartial pretrial investigation depends on the qualification of the investigator, timeliness of the search, use of tactics, performance of tasks.
Regarding Compliance or Inconsistency of the Criminal Code of Ukraine with the Principle of Legal Certainty
Authors: Khavroniuk Mykola
Published: August 2022

The article examines the problem of the content of the principle of legal certainty in relation to criminal law. Ten general requirements of this principle are defined and systematized: requirements of legal certainty of the law in the context of its form and content (accessibility; prohibition of retroactivity; stability; legitimate expectations; clarity; unambiguity; prevention of abuse due to discretion) and in the context of application and interpretation of the law (unity in the interpretation and application, availability of court decisions, their binding nature and enforceability). It is proved that the Criminal Code of Ukraine and the practice of its application do not meet all the requirements of the principle of legal certainty of the law. The methods of ensuring such compliance used during the drafting of the new Criminal Code of Ukraine are demonstrated, in particular: defining the concept of the principle of legal certainty in the Code; introduction of verification by the Plenum of the Supreme Court of amendments to the Code for compliance with this principle; establishment of time limits for amendments to the Criminal Code of Ukraine and increase of time for bringing its provisions to the population; introduction of a glossary (dictionary to the text of the Code), own unit of account and uniform amounts of damage of different types; determining the logical structure of the Code; other forms of articles of its General Part (one logical provision – one part of the article) and articles of the Special Part (one act – one paragraph of the article); 10 degrees of gravity of crimes and 10 types of sanctions (instead of the existing more than 150); typification of lists of circumstances that change the severity of crimes, and determination of the rules under which the severity of crimes changes; establishing the rules of criminal law qualification; unification of criminal remedies, such as punishment, probation, criminal record, security measures, restitution and compensation, confiscation of property and seizure of property and criminal remedies against a legal entity; typification of the grounds for release from punishment, amnesty and pardon, etc. Proposals were made to ensure this compliance by adopting the new Criminal Code of Ukraine and the Code of Administrative Offenses, and compliance with the requirement of uniform interpretation and application of the law – by maintaining in the Supreme Court a control copy of the Criminal Code of Ukraine with article-by-article materials with decisions of the panel of judges, the chamber, the joint chamber or the Grand Chamber of the Supreme Court.
Settlement of Disputes with the Participation of a Judge: Is This Procedure Effective?
Authors: Khanyk-Pospolitak Roksolana , Nuryshchenko Roman
Published: August 2022

The article studies the effectiveness of the institution of dispute resolution with the participation of a judge through the analysis of legislation and judicial practice in all types of proceedings in the courts of first instance, except criminal. It is noted that since 2017, a completely new procedural institute for the settlement of disputes with the participation of a judge has appeared in procedural codes of Ukraine, except criminal, and in judicial practice thereafter. Its introduction into Ukrainian procedural law was with the intention to relieve the judicial system. However, to find out whether this institute has fulfilled the assigned intention, the analysis of judicial practice is required. Accordingly, the analysis of judicial practice has been conducted, comprising all years of existence of this institution in civil, administrative, and commercial litigation in order to determine the frequency and success rates of its application in practice. This revealed that dispute settlement with the participation of a judge in administrative proceedings barely applies. In addition, based on the analysis of one hundred cases for the last period, there are certain categories of cases where dispute settlement with the participation of a judge was used more often. Eventually, it was concluded that today the institute of dispute settlement with the participation of a judge has not been widely used and its effectiveness remains insignificant. Therefore, the institution of dispute resolution with the participation of a judge requires a great reformation – consisting of enforcement of mediation execution by judges, specific ways of resolution of cases belonging to certain categories as well as insertion of corresponding provisions in procedural codes, and popularization to the masses.
The Importance of Autonomy of European Union Member States with regard to the Use of Genetically Modified Organisms on the Right to Healthcare – An Analysis of Judgements of the Court of Justice of the European Union
Authors: Meško Kuralt Katja
Published: August 2022

The European Union Member States (hereinafter: EU MS) have the possibility of restricting or banning the cultivation of GMOs under the Directive 2015/412 but under certain conditions. EU MS must also pay attention to the provisions of the Treaty on the Functioning of the Euro-pean Union or Treaty Establishing the European Community (hereinafter: TFEU), the provi-sions relating to the free movement of goods, which is one of the key objectives of the func-tioning of the European Union. This contribution is based on the data obtained from an analy-sis of Court of Justice of the European Union (hereinafter: CJEU) cases concerning the use of genetically modified organisms (hereinafter: GMO(s)). The analysis highlights the link between environmental risk assessment and the right to healthcare. The purpose of this paper is to make the individual aware of the possibilities they have regarding the use of GMOs.
Protection of Patient's Autonomy when Undergoing Therapeutic Procedures under the Polish Penal Code
Authors: Marek Mozgawa  , Krzysztof Wala
Published: August 2022

This study addresses the issue of criminal liability for performing a therapeutic procedure without patient's consent under the Polish Penal Code of 1997 (Article 192 of the Penal Code). The authors analyse the statutory criteria of the prohibited act concerned. They emphasize the importance of the patient's consent to the legality of therapeutic procedures, and they highlight the situations in which such a procedure may be performed either without the consent or even contrary to the patient's will. The authors conclude that the existence of a separate provision protecting the autonomy of the patient's will deserves approval, although at the same time they advise the need for a certain correction to Article 192 § 1 PC, if only in terms of specifying the entity capable of committing that offence.
The Rational Limits of the Criminalization of Abortion – Legal and Social Consequences of the Restrictive Approach
Authors: Olga Sitarz  , Michał Grudecki
Published: August 2022

This article aims to analyze a proposed amendment of 2021 to the Polish Criminal Code relating to abortion. The starting point for the considered legal solutions is the equalization of criminal law protection of human life before and after birth. This means that a termination of pregnancy is to be regarded as homicide, with all its attendant consequences. This article analyzes the legal implications arising from the proposed amendments both in relation to pregnant women and other persons (doctors, relatives and even employers of pregnant women). The far-reaching repressiveness of the future anti-abortion law that is rarely found in the modern world is demonstrated. The analysis is complemented with an attempt to diagnose the social consequences of the proposed amendments using historical and criminological texts concerning such situations in the past, as well as on the basis of sociological observations of current social trends. The authors believe that the proposed law will prove to be ineffective, and children (including unborn ones) will be maleficiaries rather than beneficiaries of the amendments in question.
Influence of the Toroidal Tool Kinematics on Residual Stress-Strain State of the Surface Layer of Machine Parts
Authors: Zaides S.A. , Nguyen Huu Hai
Published: August 2022

The article considers an approach to increasing compressive residual stresses during surface plastic deforming. The technical idea is based on the consideration of the kinematics of the working tool. A new hardening process based on the circular oscillation of the working tool is proposed. Finite element modeling which allows determining the residual stresses arising during hardening of machine parts was used to prove the effectiveness of the new kinematics of the tool. It has been found that in terms of increasing residual stresses, the oscillating movement of the working roller is much more efficient than the static one.
