Źródła do dziejów polskiej archiwistyki. Interwencja w sprawie skarbów z zamku Czocha zdeponowanych w Archiwum Miejskim w Jeleniej Górze (1948-1949)
Authors: Łaborewicz Ivo
Published: May 2024

In the years 1947-1949, in the warehouses of the Municipal Archives in Jelenia Góra, the local District Court deposited and sealed works of art from the Czocha Castle, confiscated from looters. This paralyzed some of the Archive’s work and also threatened the security of the archives locked together with the museum items. Efforts to recover these warehouses continued for over two years, supported by the State Archives in Wrocław. The documents presented in the article show the joint activities of the state and municipal archives undertaken to preserve the archival heritage of Lower Silesia and the methods of their mutual communication.
Kontrowersje dotyczące stosowania art. 57 § 2 (art. 47) w zw. z art. 39 Kodeksu pracy względem nauczyciela mianowanego w wieku przedemerytalnym – uwagi de lege lata i de lege ferenda
Authors: Czerniak-Swędzioł Justyna
Published: May 2024

The Teachers’ Charter Act forms two bases for the employment of a teacher, i.e. employment contract and appointment, but the choice of the appropriate one remains dependent on the possession of a certain degree of professional promotion and the existence of conditions for full-time employment at school for an indefinite period. The termination of the employment relationship with employees of this professional group is also comprehensively regulated in the Teacher’s Charter Act and guarantees a higher level of protection than the regulations of the Labour Code Act. The analyzed issue does not concern the question of protection, but the unjustified differentiation of rights to which teachers-employees employed on different legal bases are entitled, after their reinstatement due to unlawful termination by the employer. According to the case law, the reference in Article 57 § 2 and Article 47 to Article 39 of the Labour Code Act is a reference to the prerequisite of reaching the pre-retirement age together with the basis of employment, which is the employment contract. In the author’s opinion, this remains contrary to the principle of equality expressed in Article 32(1) of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland, since from the perspective of compensation for the time of unemployment, the criterion of the basis of the employment relationship is not relevant.
Legal Protection Against Discrimination and Mobbing in the Employment Relationship—Is It Still Effective?
Authors: Jaskulska Jagoda
Published: May 2024

Discrimination, harassment and mobbing are still a large problem on the Polish labour market. Despite growing awareness of how negative and dangerous these phenomena are, the scale of their occurrence is still not decreasing. At the same time, there is a significant discrepancy between the scale of the problem of mobbing, discrimination and harassment at work, as indicated by academic research and public opinion surveys, and the number of cases brought on this account in the labour court. This may be due to the complex legal nature of these phenomena and the difficulty in interpreting and proving the legal grounds for their assertion. The small role of the State Labour Inspection in this respect also draws attention. The aim of this article is to assess the legal tools for the protection of employees against discrimination, harassment and mobbing from the point of view of their actual effectiveness, paying particular attention to the powers of labour inspectors to control compliance with legal provisions in this area.

Authors: Erdoğan Sibel
Published: May 2024

Batı sömürgeciliği sosyal, siyasal, ekonomik etkilerinin yanı sıra öteki toplumlar üzerinde kültürel alanlarda çeşitli söylemsel mekanizmaların üretildiği bir içeriğe sahiptir. Bu söylem üretim mekanizmalarından birisi de sömürgeci toplumlar tarafından üretilen erotik metinlerdir. Bu metinler aracılığıyla sömürgeci toplumlar öteki toplumlara ait toplumsal cinsiyet ve cinsellik normlarını kullanarak kendileri ve ötekiler arasındaki farkları vurgulamışlar ve kendi kimlik oluşturma süreçlerine cinselliğe ilişkin anlayış farklarını da eklemişlerdir. Bu yolla hem öteki toplumlar hem de bu toplumların yaşadıkları coğrafyalar cinsel olarak fetişleştirilmiş ve bilinçdışı arzu üretim mekanizmaları oluşturulmuştur. Bu çalışmada Doğu toplumları hakkında yazılan İngiliz literatürüne ait erotik metinler üzerinde durulmuş ve bu metinlerin Batı’daki sosyal, siyasal, bilimsel gelişmeler ile ilişkisi analiz edilmiştir. Analiz konusu olarak 19. yüzyılda dönemin Viktoryen ahlakına uygun olarak yazılmış ve yazarları bilinmeyen iki eser seçilmiştir. Bu eserler yoluyla Doğu’ya yönelik toplumsal cinsiyet, beden ve cinsellik konularını içeren söylemler ortaya konmuştur. Metinler temalara ayrılarak analiz edilmiştir. Sonuç olarak, erotik metinlerin Doğu’ya ilişkin Batılı bilginin inşasında Doğu toplumlarının ahlaki yapıları üzerinden sömürgeciliğin meşrulaştırıldığı ve ahlaki olarak Batı üstünlüğünün vurgulandığı görülmüştür.

The amount of infrastructure development in Jakarta makes internal control of the implementation of design and build contracts for the construction of state buildings need attention. The problem in internal control is there are still some recurring findings and supervisory findings that are not detected by Government Internal Supervisory Apparatus (APIP) but found by external auditors, as well as delays in completing assignments. The problems include a limited number of technical auditors, uneven knowledge, and experience of construction supervision, overlapping assignments, and a report process that takes time. These problems can have an impact on the implementation of internal control, that is lack of achievement of internal control objectives and the potential for non-compliance with the construction process with laws and regulations, thus showing that internal control of construction is not running effectively and efficiently. To improve efficient and effective internal supervision of construction, it is necessary to standardize operational procedures (SOP) or work procedures for internal control of construction, especially for design and build contracts. This research aims to identify stakeholders and the roles and responsibilities of each party in internal control of building construction using design and build contract to improve efficiency and effectiveness. The results reveal a set of internal and external stakeholders as well as the form of organizational structure and the relationship of coordination and responsibility lines. The results of this research also emphasize the roles and responsibilities of each stakeholder so that each party fully understands the obligation to carry out internal supervision assignments for design and build construction.

Published: May 2024

The Forced Draft (FD) Fan is a component in a power plant that serves as a supplier of secondary air to assist combustion within the boiler. The Forced Draft Fan has a motor coupled to an impeller, where this component often experiences imbalance with very high vibration values. The imbalance can affect performance and decrease the efficiency of the Forced Fan. Special maintenance in the form of balancing is required to reduce vibration values according to ISO 10816-3 standards so that the Forced Draft Fan can operate safely. In one power plant, there was a Forced Draft Fan experiencing unbalance on the impeller side. In this study, the highest vibration value for the Forced Draft Fan was found at the MOH point, measuring 4.75 mm/s, and after balancing, the vibration value decreased to 0.82 mm/s.

O IMAGINÁRIO NO FOLHETO CAPIXABA: O VAMPIRO LOBISOMEM DE JACARAÍPE, DE CLÉRIO BORGES
Authors: Silva Rodrigo
Published: May 2024

The aim of this article is to analyse the capixaba cordel The vampire-lobisomem of Jacaraípe (2005), by Clério Borges, poet and troubadour from Espírito Santo, from the perspective of studies involving the Theory of the Imaginary, of Durand (2012), which was initially dismantled by Pitta (2017) in Brazil. The leaflet in question deals with a legend, dating back to 1915 of a vampire-werewolf that terrorized the Espírito Santo coast of Jacaraípe, in the municipality of Serra/ES, in Greater Vitória. Despite the basis of this leaflet being a legend, it is known that the imaginary, in a given culture, is far from the domains of the non-existent and comes from experiences as concrete as life, as it is transfigurative (and active), shaped, generally, through fabrics that are historical (PITTA, 2017). It is clear that the imaginary, in Borges' cordel, is triggered by nictomorphic elements and the presence of a heroine. Furthermore, the aim of the analysis presented is to highlight the cordel literature produced in Espírito Santo.

Authors: Chong M S , Lieu P K , Sitoh Y Y , Meng Y Y , Leow L P
Published: May 2024

Introduction: This study was undertaken to ascertain the usefulness of clinical screening tools for dysphagia in a heterogeneous group of older stroke patients. The usefulness of bedside clinical assessment tools for detecting dysphagia on different consistencies of feeds was also studied.

Materials and Methods: Fifty patients referred to a speech therapist for the assessment of possible dysphagia were recruited. The clinical tools studied included the water swallow test, the oxygen desaturation test and the combination of both tests (termed “clinical aspiration test”). The outcomes of the clinical assessments were compared with a fibreoptic endoscopic examination of swallowing (FEES) conducted at the same sitting. Fifty patients underwent an examination of their ability to swallow 50 mL of water in 10-mL aliquots. They underwent a FEES with different food consistencies by a speech therapist and oxygen saturation with pulse oximetry was monitored during the procedure. Oxygen desaturation of more than 2% was considered to be clinically significant.

Results: The water swallow test had a sensitivity of 79.4% and specificity of 62.5% for the detection of aspiration, with a positive predictive value (PPV) of 81.8% and a negative predictive value (NPV) of 58.8%. The oxygen desaturation test had a sensitivity of 55.9% and a specificity of 100% with PPV of 100% and NPV of 51.6%. When both tests were combined, a sensitivity of 94.1% and a specificity of 62.5% was attained, with PPV of 84.2% and NPV of 83.3%. Using the clinical assessment test, we were able to pick up 3 aspirators who would otherwise have been missed if they were assessed with the water swallow test using thin fluids alone.

Conclusion: Simple clinical assessment tools can be used to screen for dysphagia in a heterogeneous group of older patients with stroke disease, and clinical testing using feeds of different consistencies should be considered.

Authors: Siow T R , Soh I P T , Sreedharan S , Das De S , Tan P P , Seow A , Lun K C
Published: May 2024

Objective: The Internet is an increasingly popular source of healthcare information. This study describes the prevalence of health surfers in Singapore and their health-surfing patterns. It also assesses their confidence in online health information and the impact the Internet has on health-seeking behaviour.

Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional survey using a standardised questionnaire was carried out among residents aged 13 to 55 years in 1852 units in Bishan North. These units were selected by single-stage simple random cluster sampling method.

Results: The household response rate was 51% (n = 950) and the individual response rate was 69% (n = 1646). Responding and non-responding households were similar in terms of ethnicity and housing type. Of the responders, 62.9% surfed the Internet and 37.7% have surfed for health information. Health surfers tended to be younger (20 to 39 years) and have higher education status. Indians were also more likely than other ethnic groups to surf for health. Professional health-related sites comprised the majority (68%) of sites visited, and the most common search keywords concern chronic degenerative diseases, e.g. hypertension. The top preferred sources of health information were doctors (25.9%), the Internet (25.3%) and the traditional mass media (20.5%). Almost half (45.1%) considered online health information trustworthy if it was from a professional source or if the website displayed the source, while 10.6% trusted the information if it concurred with the doctors’ advice. The vast majority (91.7%) had taken some action in response to the information.

Conclusion: The Internet is being used as an accessible source of health information by a substantial proportion of the lay public. While this can facilitate greater partnership in healthcare, it underlines the need for doctors to be pro-active in the practice of evidence-based medicine, and for guidelines to enable patients to use this tool in a discerning manner.

Dahili Korunma Alternatifi, kişilerin başka ülkelerde sığınma aramalarına neden olan koşulların menşe ülke geneline yayılmadığı hallerde, ülkelerinde kalarak sığınma bulabilecekleri korunaklı bölgelerin varlığı fikrine dayanmaktadır. Bu gibi alanların varlığı, sığınma arayanların uluslararası korumadan yararlanıp yararlanamayacağının değerlendirilmesinde esas alınabildiği gibi, halihazırda bir uluslararası koruma statüsüne sahip olanların bu statülerinin sona erdirilebilmesi için de gerekçe olarak ileri sürülebilmektedir. Türkiye’de de, Suriye menşeili sığınma arayan bireylerin hukuki statüleri ve bunlara yeni ekleneceklere sınırların açılıp açılmayacağı, Suriye sınırları içerisinde sığınabilecekleri alternatif alanların varlığı gerekçesiyle tartışılmaktadır. Sığınma arayan bireylerin uluslararası koruma rejiminden yararlanıp yararlanamayacaklarına ilişkin böylesine belirleyici bir unsura dönüşebilen dahili korunma alternatifi konseptine, uluslararası insan hakları ve mülteci hukuku açısından taşıdığı riskler dikkate alınarak, hassasiyetle yaklaşmak gerekir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, uluslararası koruma rejimine uygun bir dahili korunma alternatifi uygulamasının koşullarını ve uluslararası koruma statüsünün belirlenmesine etkisini incelemektir.
cão sem plumas, de João Cabral de Melo Neto: fragmento poético-alegórico do humano
Authors: Pereira João Batista , Lira Fabiana Pasini
Published: May 2024

Este artigo visa a identificar como a alegoria colabora na apreensão do poema O cão sem plumas, de João Cabral de Melo Neto, cuja análise foi norteada por pressupostos teóricos defendidos por Walter Benjamin (2004), João Adolfo Hansen (2006), Erich Auerbach (2006), Umberto Eco (2010) e Sérgio Paulo Rouanet (1984). Ao estabelecer a leitura do poema cabralino à luz da alegoria na Antiguidade Clássica, embasada na retórica, e na modernidade, vinculada à história, o método dialético permitiu registrar um produtivo diálogo entre texto e contexto. A resultante estética dessas inferências alude à configuração de um cão antropomorfizado que espelha o rio Capibaribe, imagem que, deslocada no tempo, permitiu observar a degradação ambiental e a exploração de homens situados à margem do desenvolvimento social na cidade de Recife.

Authors: Ivanina V. V. , Gurska V. M.
Published: May 2024

Purpose. To investigate the influence of mineral, traditional and alternative organic-mineral fertilization systems on productivity and technological quality of sugar beet roots.
Меthods. Long-term field and analytical.
Results. Research data on the effectiveness of traditional and alternative fertilization systems in increasing the productivity and technological quality of sugar beet roots are given. The perspective of using straw, green mass of white mustard and mineral fertilizers to obtain high yield and technological quality of sugar beet roots under conditions of sufficient moisture on leached chernozem has been established.
Conclusions. The mineral fertilizer system was inferior to the organic-mineral fertilization in terms of efficiency. The maximum dose of mineral fertilizers N120P80K120 ensured roots yield – 67.5 t/ha, sugar content – 17.9 %, sugar yield – 12.1 t/ha. The highest productivity of sugar beet was achieved with the application of 40 t/ha of manure + N90P60K90: yield of roots – 79.6 t/ha, sugar content – 18.2 %, sugar yield – 14.5 t/ha with an increase in yield compared to the control without fertilizers – by 37.0 t/ha, sugar yield – by 6.7 t/ha. The application of straw + green manure + N90P60K90 was determined to be promising under sugar beet: roots yield – 70.3 t/ha, sugar content – 18.2 %, sugar yield – 12.8 t/ha. The specified fertilization system was inferior to the application of 40 t/ha of manure + N90P60K90 in yield by 9.3 t/ha, sugar collection – by 1.7 t/ha. The use of fertilizers insignificantly increased the loss of sugar in molasses compared to the control without fertilizers: with the application of mineral fertilizers - by 0.01–0.05 %, 40 t/ha of manure + N90P60K90 – by 0.07 %, straw + green manure + N90P60K90 – by 0.04 %.

Purpose. To investigate the influence of an alternative organo-mineral fertilization system on the productivity of sugar beet at different application rates of lime.
Methods. Short-term field and analytical.
Results. The results of research on the influence of alternative organo-mineral fertilizers and liming on the alkaline-acidic balance of leached chernozem, its nutritional regime and productivity of sugar beets are presented. The perspective of using traditional and alternative fertilizers combined with lime on weakly acidic soil in conditions of sufficient moisture was revealed.
Conclusions. The application of N90P90K90 + 5 t/ha of straw and 7.5 t/ha of defecation sludge in sugar beet ensured the maximum stability of the acid-alkaline balance of leached chernozem, increased the amount of absorbed alkalis with an increase in the content of calcium and magnesium in the soil-absorbing complex. Obtained рНsalt was 6.62, hydrolytic acidity 1.69 mg-eq/100 g, amount of absorbed alkalis 28.4 mg-eq/100 g of soil. Application of N90P90K90 + 5 t/ha of straw and 7.5 t/ha defecation sludge ensured the highest mobility of phosphorus and potassium in leached chernozem: the content of mobile phosphorus in the 0–30 cm layer was 170 mg/kg and potassium 128 mg/kg that provided increase of 32 and 38 mg/kg of soil, respectively, compared to control. Liming increased the mobility of potassium in the soil and did not affect the content of mobile phosphorus. The maximum productivity of sugar beet on leached chernozem was achieved with the application of N90P90K90 + 5 t/ha of straw + 7.5 t/ha of defecation sludge (1.5 standard rate of CaСО3). Obtained root yield was 73.3 t/ha, sugar content 18.6%, and sugar yield 13.6 t/ha that is higher compared to control without fertilizers and defecation sludge by 22.7 t/ha, 0.2%, and 4.3 t/ha, respectively.

Published: May 2024

Purpose. To establish the features of yield formation and seed quality of switchgrass depending on varietal characteristics.
Methods. Laboratory, field, measuring and weighing, mathematical and statistical.
Results. It was established that the productivity of switchgrass varietis depends on the ripeness group. A significantly higher seed yield was provided by the mid-late cultivar ‘Cave-in-Rock’, 0.137 t/ha, early-ripening ‘Forestbur’, 0.128 t/ha, and mid-early ‘Nebraska’, 0.124 t/ha, while the yield of other cultivars was significantly lower. The lowest seed yield was provided by the very early variety ‘Dakota’ and late ‘Carthage’ and very late ‘Kanlow’. The highest indicators of seed quality – germination energy and germination – were found in very early ‘Dakota’ variety, 50 and 52%, respectively, and in mid-early ‘Samburst’, 50 and 53%, respectively. Germination energy and seed germination of the early-ripening variety ‘Forestbur’, mid-early ‘Nebraska’, and mid-late ‘Cave-in-Rock’ were 30–34 and 32–35%, respectively, depending on the varietal characteristics, and no significant difference was found. Much lower seed quality was obtained in mid-late varieties, and the lowest – in very late varieties. Analyzing seed quality over the years of research, it was found that its germination depended on the sum of effective temperatures during the growing season. The highest germination of all varieties, 47% was in 2018, which is caused by the sum of effective temperatures over 3539 °С. The 2019 and 2020 growing seasons were less favourable than 2018, but significantly better than 2021.
Conclusions. Productivity of switchgrass, seed yield, its germination energy and germination depended on maturity group and growing weather conditions, i.e., the sum of effective temperatures. It was found that the higher the sum of effective temperatures, the higher the seed germination. The highest germination of all varieties, 47%, was obtained for the sum of effective temperatures above 3539 °C. A strong correlation was found between seed germination and the sum of effective temperatures (r = 0.96).

Kampanjen mot atomvapen och det tidiga 1960-talets svenska protestrepertoar
Authors: Ericsson Martin , Gustafsson Jenny
Published: May 2024

1961 grundades en ny social rörelse i Sverige. Den fick namnet Kampanjen mot atomvapen (KMA) och var en svensk gren av en internationell, gränsöverskridande rörelse som startat året innan med bas i Västeuropa. Målet med rörelsen var att få supermakterna att avrusta sina kärnvapenrörelser och, för svensk del, att få Sverige att upphöra med sitt pågående kärnvapenprogram. I Sverige spelade KMA en viktig roll för det tidiga 1960-talets politiska kultur på två sätt. För det första mobiliserade rörelsen tonåringar och studenter, grupper som senare skulle bli viktiga i den vänsterinriktade sextiotalsradikaliseringen. För det andra introducerade KMA nya sätt att göra politik på i det svenska offentliga gaturummet. Till exempel genomförde rörelsen sittblockader utanför Sovjetunionens ambassad i protest mot atmosfäriska kärnvapentester. KMA arrangerade också så kallade pingstmarscher i protest mot kärnvapen, en aktionsform som de svenska deltagarna fått inspiration till genom att delta i liknande marscher i Storbritannien och Danmark. I artikeln undersöks KMA som en gränsöverskridande social rörelse i ett tidigt 1960-tal som för svensk del är relativt outforskat, men då många nya politiska idéer och aktionsformer introducerades ‒ ofta med inspiration från andra länder.
