Preservice Teachers’ Encounters with Dual Language Picturebooks
Authors:   University of Waikato, Aotearoa New Zealand, Daly Nicola , Short Kathy ,   University of Arizona, USA
Published: January 2023

Our action research explored the potentialities of dual language picturebooks related to language inquiries with preservice teachers. For six weeks, preservice teachers browsed picturebooks featuring English and another language, starting with a familiar language and moving to unfamiliar languages. After browsing, we shared our responses to the books, made connections across books, and engaged in experiences to think about language. Initial comments indicated that readers were not familiar with dual language picturebooks and connected to their own complex personal relationships with language. The preservice teachers engaged in inquiries around audience and book design, including issues such as Indigenous books signalling a resistance to prioritising English as a stance that differed from Spanish-English books where the design signalled a higher status to English. In this article, we discuss our findings using Ruiz’s (1984) language-as-resource framework, showing how the preservice teachers used dual language picturebooks to develop their critical awareness of language-as-resource.

OPTIMIZATION OF THE WORKING SPEED OF THE AUGER SNOWPLOW
Authors: Zakirov M. F. , Baranchik V. P.
Published: January 2023

The article deals with the problem of determining the optimal working speed of the auger snowplow when the auger feeder interacts with snow based on the method of analyzing the fourth coordinate. The mathematical model of the fourth coordinate of the working process is determined by the ratio of the mathematical model of the work of resistance forces during the operation to the mathematical model of the power expended on the performance of the corresponding operation. The efficient operation of the screw feeder depends on the combination of two operations performed by the working body: cutting snow and moving snow to the rotor.

Authors: Zieliński Artur , Marek Aneta , Zwoliński Zbigniew
Published: January 2023

In the modern world, tourism is a very dynamically growing industry with significant impact on the eco-nomic prosperity of many regions or even countries. The paper presents the geotourism potential of the 12 show (com-mercial) caves in Poland before and during the current pandemic time. Survey results demonstrate that caves are major geotourist attractions. In 2019, they were visited by a total of almost 950,000 people. The attendance might have exceed-ed even a million if the popular Mroźna Cave in the Tatras had not been temporarily closed to visitors due to a rockfall in winter period 2018/2019. In 2020, all the show caves combined were visited by a more than 390,000 people, which amounted to about 41% of the total attendance recorded for 2019. The most visited cave proved to be Smocza Jama (Dragon’s Den) in the centre of Kraków, which recorded almost 422,000 visitors in 2019. A preliminary assessment of the attractiveness of the caves as geosites is given. The most attractive caves as geosites were identified as: Bear Cave, Upper Wierzchowska Cave, and Bat Cave. It is possible to confidently assert that the celebration of the International Year of Caves and Karst (IYCK) in 2021–2022 will increase interest in caves and translate into a revival of cave tourism.
A Lasso approach to covariate selection and average treatment effect estimation for clustered RCTs using design-based methods
Authors: Schochet Peter Z.
Published: January 2023

Statistical power is often a concern for clustered randomized control trials (RCTs) due to variance inflation from design effects and the high cost of adding study clusters (such as hospitals, schools, or communities). While covariate pre-specification can improve power for estimating regression-adjusted average treatment effects (ATEs), further precision gains can be achieved through covariate selection once primary outcomes have been collected. This article uses design-based methods underlying clustered RCTs to develop Lasso methods for the post-hoc selection of covariates for ATE estimation that avoids a lack of transparency and model overfitting. Our focus is on two-stage estimators: in the first stage, Lasso estimation is conducted using data on cluster-level averages or sums, and in the second stage, standard ATE estimators are adjusted for covariates using the first-stage Lasso results. We discuss

consistency of the estimated Lasso coefficients, asymptotic normality of the ATE estimators, and design-based variance estimation. The nonparametric approach applies to continuous, binary, and discrete outcomes. We present simulation results and demonstrate the method using data from a federally funded clustered RCT testing the effects of school-based programs promoting behavioral health.
Alethic Rights and Alethic Pluralism in Libraries
Authors: Ridi Riccardo
Published: January 2023

The concept of truth, although unavoidable, is very problematic from a philosophical point of view and, in the field of librarianship, it is even more disputed for various reasons: inapplicability to libraries’ collections and reference services; scarcity of resources necessary in the event of a possible application; conflict with the value of intellectual neutrality. The “alethic rights” proposed by D’Agostini in 2017, pertinent to truth claims in social contexts, can be interpreted in two ways: the “strong” way is not applicable to libraries because it would lead to the same problems caused by the research of the truthfulness of each document preserved by libraries and of any information provided by their reference services; the “weak” way would instead be applicable to libraries, but it is more appropriate not to apply this either, both because there would be the risk that it could be interpreted in the strong way, and because its application would still be redundant compared to what already happens in libraries and to what, if necessary, could be obtained in emergency situations by applying instead the principle of social responsibility. In the library field it would be more sensible and useful to apply, instead of alethic rights, the epistemological theory of “alethic pluralism” by Wright (1992). Truth and Objectivity. Cambridge: Harvard University Press and Lynch (2009). Truth as One and Many. Oxford: Clarendon, which defines the concept of truth in a way compatible with technical practices and with deontological rules currently more widespread in libraries.

Uloga zajedničkih nadzornih timova u supervizijskom pristupu Jedinstvenog nadzornog mehanizma
Authors: Božina Beroš Marta
Published: January 2023

Jedan od ciljeva Bankovne unije jest i razvoj zajedničke supervizorske kulture, odnosno harmonizacija supervizijskih praksi, standarda i metodologija država članica koje sudjeluju u ovom integracijskom okviru. I dok regulatorna i proceduralna dosljednost ovisi o prudencijalnim propisima, zajednička kultura nadzora prije svega ovisi o kvalitetnoj suradnji između nacionalnih supervizora. Ova suradnja događa se unutar zajedničkih nadzornih timova, glavnih operativnih sastavnica Jedinstvenog nadzornog mehanizma koji kontinuirano nadziru sistemski značajne banke, na temelju zajedničkih supervizijskih standarda i metodologije, pri tome kombinirajući europsku i lokalnu prudencijalnu stručnost u praksi. Polazeći od interdisciplinarnog teorijskog okvira (političke) ekonomije, s posebnim naglaskom na problem principal-agent kao i pitanje (de)centralizacije odlučivanja u upravljanju unutar Ekonomske i monetarne unije, rad koristi kvalitativnu analizu brojnih primarnih i sekundarnih izvora, dajući po prvi puta u domaćoj literaturi, iscrpnu analizu zajedničkih nadzornih timova, (uključujući onih koji djeluju u okviru bliske suradnje), ukazujući na važnost višerazinske suradnje te otkrivajući participativnu, a ne centralizirajuću, prirodu Jedinstvenog nadzornog mehanizma. Rad zaključuje kako su kako su zajednički nadzorni timovi izvršna ruka holističkog, sveobuhvatnog procesa provjere boniteta banke i dubinskog mikroprudencijalnog nadzora unutar Jedinstevnog nadzornog mehanizma ključni za kreaciju i konsolidaciju zajedničke nadzorne kulture u Bankovnoj uniji.
BDP kao promašena ekonomska mjera za 21. stoljeće
Authors: Recher Vedran
Published: January 2023

U ovome radu obrađuje se BDP kao najraširenija i najzastupljenija ekonomska mjera u posljednjih sedam desetljeća. Iako je u začetku BDP doista ocrtavao ono što je tada bilo bitno, u radu se pokazuje kako u suvremenoj ekonomiji BDP više toga skriva, nego što otkriva. Usprkos postojanju brojnih kritika ekonomskog rasta i BDP-a kao adekvatne mjere za 21. stoljeće, ekonomije diljem svijeta u jeku izlaska iz korona krize i dalje su fokusirane gotovo isključivo na taj broj. Međutim, izvješća UN-ovog panela za klimu i sama pojava korona virusa razotkrila je sve manjkavosti takvog pristupa. Primjerice, pojava prirodnih katastrofa poput potresa, i posljedična obnova mogu značajno povećati BDP, ali to nije nešto što je poželjno s aspekta blagostanja društva. U radu se iznose kritike rasta i BDP-a, kao i moguće alternative od kojih su neke već u uporabi u susjednim zemljama.

Published: January 2023

Groundwater, which is present in aquifers beneath the Earth's surface and is used for drinking purposes throughout Jhang City, is a crucial resource. The quality of drinking water is impacted by groundwater contamination in one way or another, which ultimately harms human health. The current study aims to evaluate the drinking water quality of the groundwater near culvert drainage in Jhang City, Punjab. With the aid of the standardized method APHA 23rd edition, samples that were collected from 9 different areas were examined for 20 parameters, including EC, pH, turbidity, alkalinity, bicarbonates, calcium, carbonates, chlorides, total hardness, magnesium, potassium, sodium, sulphate, nitrate, TDS, arsenic, and bacteria at the Environmental lab of IIUI and testing laboratory of PCRWR. The results of the sample analysis show that the overall quality of drinking water is unacceptable and exceeds PEQs and WHO requirements. The first three samples taken close to the drainage had the highest level of pollution.
Wildfire effect on forest rainfall infiltration and runoff: a cellular automata-based simulation
Authors: Vergara–Blanco Javier Eugenio , –Pasquier Jérôme Leboeuf , Benavides– Solorio Juan de Dios
Published: January 2023

A storm event-based simulation system is developed to reproduce the effects of wildfire on a predefined forest area's rainfall infiltration and runoff. The simulation system reproduces individual surface cell slope, infiltration capacity, and hydrophobicity. A cellular automaton represents space and time. The Horton equation reproduces infiltration capacity evolution. Different equation parameters account for precipitation intensity variations. Infiltration volume and runoff velocity are computed at the cell level. A Digital Elevation Model reproduces the topography. A real rainfall event is reproduced for a section of La Primavera Forest in Jalisco, Mexico. For a subwatershed within the area of interest, wildfire effects are shown on infiltration, overland flow and outlet discharge throughout the rainfall event. It is shown that rainfall infiltration for wildfire affected terrain is lower and that overland flow and outlet discharge is higher. Infiltration and runoff dynamics at a surface cell depend on storm profile, cell slope, cell soil texture, and overall topography. Water dynamics on the area of interest are shown with a movie effect. It is concluded that a cellular automaton-based model can reproduce infiltration and runoff for different soil texture, topographic and rain conditions. This simulation system is geared for an optimisation system to pinpoint the locations of a series of forest land remediation controls that or maximise infiltration or minimise runoff.

Published: January 2023

The study of hypothetical dam failure simulates the flow of the volume released by a dam in partial or total collapse. The calculations of wave propagation over the ground downstream of the eroded dam are performed by fluid hydrodynamic simulation programs. In this sense, the input data of the simulation model can be summarized in the physical characteristics of the fluid, the propagation hydrograph and the digital terrain model (DTM). Thus, this systematic review aimed to seek current bibliographic sources around the topic of simulation of hypothetical dam failures, with emphasis on the topographic representation of the valley through which the wave propagates, as a subsidy for simulating the failure of Dam B1, in Brumadinho, MG, Brazil. The results were classified according to categories in order to better differentiate the multidisciplinary content of the topic addressed.
Assessing essential new born care practice and associated factors in mothers who gave birth within the last 6 months in east badewacho woreda, hadiyya zone, Ethiopia
Authors: Lodebo Funga Mengistu , Thomas Melese
Published: January 2023

Background: Every year, more than 2.7 million new-borns die before reaching neonatal age in the world, with the majority of these deaths occurring at home. Surprisingly, half of these occur within the first 24 hours of delivery, and 75% occur in the early neonatal period. One low-cost approach to improving new-born baby health outcomes is to promote essential new-born care practices. Objective: Thus, the purpose of this study was to evaluate essential new-born care practices and associated factors among mothers who gave birth within the last 6 months in East Badewacho woreda, Hadiyya zone. Methods: From March 1 to April 30, 2018, a community-based cross-sectional study was designed. The sampled population consisted of 399 mothers who had live births within the previous six months, as determined by a multistage random sampling technique. The data was collected using a semi-structured questionnaire and entered into Epi-data version 3.1 before being exported to SPSS version 21 for analysis. A binary logistic regression analysis with a 95% confidence interval was performed. Results: Less than half of the mothers (34.1 %) practice essential new-born care. The husband's educational status [AOR=0.24, CI (0.089, 0.64)] and [AOR=0.314, CI (0.126, 0.78)], place of delivery [AOR=0.024, CI (0.009, 0.068)] and knowledge of essential new-born care [AOR=2.03, CI (1.223,3.371)] were significant predictors of essential new-born care practice. Conclusion: The study's findings revealed that essential new-born care was not widely practiced in East Badewacho Woreda. As a result, strengthen the link between health centers and health posts in order to increase ANC, institutional delivery, and PNC service utilization.
Formulation of an organic solution for odour removal in rubber-gum resist technique
Authors: Donkor Samuel Kwabena , Asmah Abraham Ekow , Ocran Irene
Published: January 2023

The rubber-gum resist technique is a modern fabric colouration technique in the world of resisting fabric dyeing production. This innovative technique is an improvement upon the wax-resist method which makes use of polyvinyl acetate, latex and ammonia as constituents of its resist agent. The rubber-gum resist technique which provides a good printable effect in design registration also has an excellent advantage in rendering complex or minute details of a design with less difficulty. The setback of this technique which happens to be the challenge at the degumming stage factored into the choice of research design in the execution of the project. A series of explorations were conducted using organic fruit juices for the formulation of the solution that can remove the unpleasant smell from the dyed product as a result of the use of turpentine in the degumming process. The study adopted the qualitative research method which employed the descriptive and exploratory research design. The scope of the study covered the local rubber gum resist dyeing producers in the Kumasi metropolis. The findings of the explorations conducted have proven that the major challenge in the rubber-gum resist technique which happens to be the unpleasant smell deposited in the fabric due to the degumming process has been resolved using organic fruit juices. For the rubber-gum resist technique to live in the limelight, it is recommended that the results of this study should be incorporated into the practice of the rubber-gum resist technique in Ghana. Also, the introduction of resist fabric-dyeing art educational curriculum should make it a point to include the rubber-gum resist technique at the senior high schools through to the tertiary level to promote the practice of this innovative art discipline. Fusing this innovative technique into our textile educational system will help students to explore and gain much knowledge in the practice of the rubber-gum resist technique and will also serve as a source of employment.

Published: January 2023

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES

Implementing asthma Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPG) have been shown to improve length of stay (LOS) and readmission rates on a short-term basis at both tertiary care and community hospital settings. Whether these outcomes are sustained long term is not known. The goal of this study was to measure the long-term impact of CPG implementation at both tertiary and community sites in 1 hospital system.

METHODS

A retrospective study was conducted using the Pediatric Health Information System database. LOS and 7- and 14-day emergency department (ED) revisit and readmission rates from 2009 to 2020 were compared pre and post implementation of asthma CPG in 2012 at both sites. Implementation involved electronic order sets, early metered dose inhaler introduction, and empowering respiratory therapists to wean per the bronchodilator weaning protocol. Interrupted time series and statistical process control charts were used to assess CPG impact.

RESULTS

Implementation of asthma CPG was associated with significant reductions in the variability of LOS without impacting ED revisit or readmission rates at both the tertiary and community sites. Secular trends in the interrupted time series did not demonstrate significant impact of CPG on LOS. However, the overall trend toward decreased LOS that started before CPG implementation was sustained for 7 years after CPG implementation.

CONCLUSIONS

Early metered dose inhaler introduction, respiratory therapist-driven bronchodilator weaning, and electronic order sets at both the community and tertiary care site led to a significant reduction in the variation of LOS, without impacting ED revisit or readmission rate.
Crucial problems of the organization of biosphere reserves in Azerbaijan
Authors: Ibrahimov Tahir O. , Sadullayev Rashad R.
Published: January 2023

The environment is an important issue even when society is faced with economic crises, wars, and unending social problems. It matters because Earth is the only home that humans have, and it provides air, food, and other needs. Economic development, demographic growth, increase in consumption due to increase in the income level of the population, climate changes and other reasons have resulted in an increase in the negative impact on the environment. Pollution of water basins with waste water, release of harmful gases into the atmosphere, reduction of biodiversity, soil erosion and salinization, deficiencies in the field of waste management are considered among the existing ecological problems. The paper deals with specific features of the organization of biosphere reserves in Azerbaijan. A significant challenge of our time is conserving biological diversity while maintaining economic development and cultural values. The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization has established biosphere reserves within its Man and the Biosphere program as a model means for accomplishing this very challenge. The loss of cultural links and traditional knowledge has also been significant. Nevertheless, it remains a highly biodiversity area. Political barriers and institutional blockages will have to be removed to ensure this reserve fulfills its role as a model region for international collaboration and capacity building. These insights drawn from the Eastern Carpathians Biosphere Reserve demonstrate that biosphere reserves are indeed learning sites for sustainable development and that this case is exemplary in illustrating the challenges, but more importantly, the opportunities that arise when ensuring parallel care and respect for people and ecosystems through the model of trans boundary protected areas around the world.

Authors: Ibrahimov Tahir O. , Nagiyeva Numuna K.
Published: January 2023

The article deals with natural conditions and present landscape of the Aghgol National park (Aghgol Ramsar Area). The work has been based on author’s field research and respective scientific materials. A large-scale landscape map of the mentioned national park has been compiled together for the first time with distinctive features of landscape types and kinds. Aghgol, situated in the Mil plain of the Kur-Araz lowlands has a semi-desert landscape and is an important overwintering and nesting place for birds. In the dry areas of the National Park, grass-swamp, gray-grass, saline and silicified grass-swamp, saline and silicified gray-grass soils are widespread. Its largest part is the Lake Aghgol, an internationally recognized area of global importance which was declared as Important Bird Area (IBA) when it was placed in the list of Ramsar wetlands of international importance in 2001. The Aghgol national park was founded on the basis of Aghgol natural reserve, Aghgol state preserve and adjoining territories under a decree of the President of the Azerbaijan Republic dated July 5, 2003. The main purpose of the creation of Aghgol National Park is to protect important wetlands, the semi-desert landscape characteristic of that area, endangered species of fauna living in and around the lake, to reintroduce some species of fauna characteristic of the area to their former territories, as well as to monitor the environment, to ensure the ecological education of the population and the development of ecotourism. The lake is mostly surrounded by reeds. The park is designed to protect the marshy ecological system, as the nesting and wintering places of migratory and water birds. Aghgol has been incorporated into the list of UNESCO’s convention «On internationally important marshy areas as the residing places of birds».
Filizchay pyrite-polymetallic deposit (the southern slope of the Greater Caucasus) – as a typical representative of the SEDEX type pyrite deposits
Authors: Imamverdiyev Nazim A. , Sattar-zade Nigar A.
Published: January 2023

The article has been devoted to one of the largest deposits of the southern slope of the Greater Caucasus – the Filizchay pyrite-polymetallic deposit. It has been found that the main morphology peculiarity of the pyrite-polymetallic deposit of the Filizchay deposit is that it is a single, compact sheet-like body composed mainly (at 90-95%) by the aggregates of the sulfide ores which are based on pyrite, sphalerite, galena and to a far lesser extent chalcopyrite and pyrrhotite. The carbonate minerals played a subordinate role in the deposit composition and quartz, sericite and chlorite – even less. The pyrite –polymetalic ores of the deposit are characterized by the following main mineralogical-textural varieties of ores: layered-bedded pyrite-polymetallic, massive sulfur-pyrite, massive pyrite-polymetallic, spotted-disseminated pyrite-polymetallic and vein-disseminated pyrite-polymetallic. The vein-disseminated ores are adjacent to the deposit on the footwall and are considered as independent bodies. Two industrial-techno- logical types of ores, oxidized and pyrite-polymetallic, have been distinguished at the deposit. The latter is in turn divided into two grades: mixed and primary ores. These three varieties of ores differ in the content of the oxidized lead forms. The ores with a content of the oxidized lead speciation above 60% have been classed as oxidized ores, those from 20% to 60% as mixed and those below 20% as primary. The Filizchay deposit consists of thin-bedded massive sulfides with shales, siltstones or sandstones interbeds («ore flysch») which have been formed exclusively or mainly as a result of the exhalative processes on the seabed and differ from massive sulfide deposits in volcanic rocks. On the basis of this and also according to the geological structure, the reserves of the valuable Zn + Pb components of the deposit belong to the SEDEX type that is the most important source of lead, zinc and silver. The deposit had been developing for a long time starting from the period of sedimentation and up to the ore’s formation of the copper-pyrrhotite stage. The lower age limit of the mineralization is determined by the presence of the hydrothermal-sedimentary ores of the Upper Pliensbachian. The upper age limit is established by the presence of the pebbles of the hydrothermally altered rocks and by their sulfide ores in the conglomerates underlying the deposits of the lower parts of the Upper Jurassic.

The article deals with the application of qualimetric methods for assessing recreational and tourist potential on the example of an ecotourism cluster developed for natural and geographical and socio-economic conditions and resources of the Ukrainian Black Sea region. The properties of recreational and tourist potential can have different nature, different definitions, and be qualitative-descriptive, verbal, or quantitative (numerical). In qualimetric developments, properties should be comparable in the form of representation and magnitude of evaluation scales. The aim of the study is to develop a methodology for qualimetric assessment of recreational clusters. The theoretical and methodological basis is the fundamental principles and developments of recreational geography, tourism studies and qualimetry, as well as the author’s own developments. In the process of writing, general geographical methods were used, such as descriptive, comparative geographical, and qualimetric assessment methods. Characteristics and properties presented in verbal form can be shown as structural combinations and compounds of simpler indicators. Factors that form the recreational and tourist potential have different weights (significance), which requires an appropriate assessment. The overall assessment of recreational and tourist potential is a weighted average value of all its components, taking into account their weight. The available absolute natural indicators of conditions and resources of recreational and tourist potential are also transformed into qualimetric estimates. The general methodological scheme for assessing recreational clusters, specified according to the conditions and resources of ecotourism of the Black Sea region is represented by seven stages – from structuring a recreational cluster according to its components and levels of hierarchical organization, calculating indicators of the weight of properties and calculating criteria for prop- erties that form the corresponding quality, calculating qualimetric estimates for all primary units of recreational and tourist potential; a meaningful interpretation of the assessment of the recreational and tourist potential of a recreational cluster based on the criteria of properties and scales of the corresponding features and characteristics, as well as indicators of the weight of properties in the formation of recreational and tourist potential. The developed scheme should be considered as a methodological approach for the practical application of qualimetric assessments of recreational and tourist potential in recreational geography and tourism studies.
Tectogenesis as a factor influencing the stability of rock masses of the Northern iron ore district of the Kryvbas

Published: January 2023

In the Northern iron-ore district of the Kryvbas basin, mining of deposits of poor magnetic ores is underway in two quarries – Pervomaiskyi and Hannivsky. Oftentimes, their mine contours contain low-valuable or unusable magnetite-silicaceous quarzites of containing ferrous and slate horizons. As a result, excavated ore mass contains ores and partly containing rocks of various mineral and chemical compositions and physical and technical properties. This caused diversity (15 mineral kinds) of the compositions of ores mined from the both deposits. Variability of mineral compositions of ores and rocks is due to manifesta- tions of numerous geological processes such as sedimentation, metamorphism, tectogenesis, metasomatism, supergene, etc. Various mineralogical, geochemical courses of the processes resulted in variability in physical, technical characteristics of ores and containing rocks, and this, in turn, caused various stability of rock masses during drilling-explosive works and mining. Stability of pit walls of the quarries of iron-ore deposits of the Kryvyi Rih basin is a sharp issue for mining enterprises. Solutions to those issues have been analyzed in various aspects. A number of factors take effects on the indicator of stability of rock masses within deposits, particularly mineralogical, geochemical, tectonic, etc. This paper looks at the influence of the tectonic factor specifically, which actively manifests within the Pervomayskyi and Hannivskyi deposits as fractures, breccias, mylonite of ores and rocks. During the surveys, there were designated tectonically altered kinds of ores and rocks within the both deposits, which take effects on seismic stability of pit walls of the both quarries, and also we put areas with various tectonic intensities on schematic maps. For this purpose, we used geological methods of study (selection of samples, mapping), mineralogical (determining quantitative proportions of minerals, texture, structure of ores and rocks). The study provides the data of mineralogical estimates of tectonically altered types of ores and rocks of productive layers of the Pervomaiskyi and Hannivskyi deposits of the Kryvyi Rih basin. We charted maps with areas of various manifestations of tectonic changes within productive layers of the both deposits.
Marriage and Partnership in Modern Protestant Denominations: From Christian Canons to New Norms
Authors: Zhadunova Natalia V.
Published: January 2023

Introduction. The problem of recognition of same-sex marriages and partnerships in recent decades has become particularly acute in public discourse. Polar points of view are expressed: from the inadmissibility of homosexual marriages to the legalization of same-sex relationships and the need for church consecration of such unions. Christian churches today are forced to publicly state their position regarding homosexual marriages and partnerships, defining the boundaries of interaction between parishioners and clergymen who are faced with such issues. Some Protestant denominations in Europe and America recognize same-sex marriages, arguing their position not with the canonical norms of Christianity, but with the concept of human rights, freedom of choice and individual autonomy, as well as the laws of those countries where such unions are already legalized. The purpose of the article is to study the approaches that have developed in various Protestant denominations regarding the problem of recognizing same-sex marriages and partnerships.

Materials and Methods. Analysis of doctrinal documents, social concepts of Protestant churches, content analysis of public statements of representatives of various Protestant communities made it possible to identify the peculiarities of attitudes towards the problem of same-sex marriages and partnerships at the present stage.

Results. The positions of various Protestant denominations regarding same-sex marriages and partnerships are presented, the main approaches to the processes of regulation of this problem in the church are identified. These approaches are due to the influence of secular legislation and the prevailing system of values in countries where Protestantism is widespread.

Discussion and Conclusion. Changing the norms and disciplinary rules in both secular and church life is a natural process of social development. The norms governing relations between the sexes, issues of marriage and the family, the rules that set the boundaries of what is acceptable and what is unacceptable in social behavior, have always been the subject of discussion, change, abolition and recognition. The problem of same-sex marriage and recognition from Christian churches, on the one hand, demonstrates a normative transformation in morality, religion and law, on the other hand, characterizes the rejection of Christian canons in favor of the concept of human rights and “new ethics”.
Monarchs in National Dress – Sartorial Expressions of National Image in the Representational Practices of 19th-century European Courts
Authors: Fülemile Ágnes
Published: January 2023

Parallel with the emergence of modern national identity and culture, from the late 18th to the early 20th century an emphasized consciousness underlined the attempt to create a ‘national’ dress. In the court cultures of Europe, a shift in the style of representation from ‘international’ to ‘regional/ethnic’ and ‘national’ served the aim of updating the monarch's role. Royals reaffirmed their sense of belonging to their own ‒ or adopted ‒ nations through the conscious introduction of national elements into the dress code of the court. Royal courts also played a leading role in the myth-making process surrounding the so-called national style. The connection between power, prestige, and the dynamics of costume as a fashion statement is obvious in this process.
Hybrid bidirectional multilevel inverter structures for induction motor drive
Authors: Santhi R. , Srinivasan A.
Published: January 2023

Multilevel inverters performance enhancement is a major topic, which has attracted the attention of most of the researchers, to evolve with newer topologies and modulation strategies. In this manuscript, two novel hybrid bidirectional multilevel inverter structures, which are suitable for bidirectional loads, are proposed. An enhancement in the voltage levels and reduction of the component count are achieved for these newly introduced structures. Modular expansion and series cascading are suggested systems for extension of the voltage levels. The prime requirement in most of the industrial drives is a controlled output. VSI fed induction motor drive satisfies this requirement. The Multicarrier PWM technique has been applied to the basic bidirectional seven level models and nine level model and its performance with induction motor as load has been analyzed for various modulation indices. The simulated results of the proposed structures are verified using MATLAB/SIMULINK platform. The characteristics such as stator current, rotor current speed and torque plots achieved as above model affirm that its performance is good. By then, the tracking time of the proposed work during reference speed change, load change and constant reference change is 0.185, 1.094 and 1.5 s. The tracking time of the VSI during reference speed change, load change and constant reference change is 0.5 s, 3.8 and 3.5 s. The tracking time of the MLI during reference speed change, load change and constant reference change is 0.2 s, 1.8 and 2 s.
New Religiosity in Contemporary Sweden: The Dalarna Study in National and International Context
Authors: Frisk Liselotte , Åkerbäck Peter
Published: January 2023

The contemporary popular or new religious landscape in Sweden — arenas with religious elements outside the established churches — is large and multifaceted. Religion is today expressed in different localities, like retreat centers, health centers and gyms, and can manifest as for example healing, mindfulness, seances, coaching and body therapies. The boundaries between religious and secular arenas are becoming increasingly blurred. The popular or new religiosity is firmly rooted in older traditions, but also expresses creative innovation as a result of globalization, secularism, individualism and the impact of psychological and therapeutic orientations. The book is based on a local study of contemporary popular or new religiosity in the area of Dalarna, Sweden. Religious expression always reflects its time. One of the book’s purposes is to explore how religion is perceived in our time and how Christianity has shaped our view of what belongs to the “religion” and what is seen as “superstition”. To understand religion it is necessary to study its practical everyday expressions.
On Modern Crime – Money Laundering and Cryptocurrencies
Authors:   University of Wrocław, Poland, Meszka Justyna
Published: January 2023

The article concerns the practice of money laundering with the use of virtual currencies. This phenomenon is gaining in importance because it is a relatively easy way to legalise unlawfully obtained assets. The relative anonymity of users and the constant technological development favour criminal activity and the development of new strategies. The article introduces the concepts of money laundering and cryptocurrencies, and analyzes the procedure indicated.
Prawo zakonnika do otrzymania świadczenia pielęgnacyjnego z tytułu rezygnacji z zatrudnienia lub innej pracy zarobkowej (obowiązków duszpasterskich). Glosa aprobująca do wyroku WSA w Bydgoszczy z dnia 14 grudnia 2021, II SA/Bd 1043/21

A person who resigns from a job or does not take up new gainful employment in order to take care of a person who is obligated to pay maintenance may apply for a care benefit. The relevant court judgement indicates that the benefit in question may also be obtained by a clergyman. The Polish state, recognising the autonomy of the Church, also recognised the “ecclesiastical form of employing priests”. A clergyman can actually resign from undertaking pastoral activities. Otherwise, preventing the clergy from getting the care benefit would be contrary to the principle of equality, expressed in article 32 of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland.
Thin capitalisation – application and limitations under Polish tax law and EU Council Directive 2016/1164 (ATA Directive)
Authors:   Katedra Prawa Gospodarczego Prywatnego, Uniwersytet Jagielloński, Kraków, Polska, Boś Kacper
Published: January 2023

Objective: This article aims to present the phenomenon of thin capitalisation as well as to analyse its essence and application. The considerations are based on the historical and current Polish legislation, taking into account the impact of EU law, which makes it possible to compare various regulatory solutions in terms of thin capitalisation. Research Design & Methods: The considerations made in this article are based on both repealed and current provisions of the Act of 15 February 1992 on corporate income tax in the scope of thin capitalisation. Due to the need to implement EU Council Directive 2016/1164 of 12 July 2016 (ATA Directive) into the Polish legal system, its content has also been analysed. Findings: Changes in the scope of thin capitalisation introduced by the implemented ATA Directive should be considered favourable for the legal system. The current regulations govern thin capitalisation in a much clearer and less manipulable way than the previous solutions. In addition, they appropriately balance the interests of both the state and taxpayers. Implications / Recommendations: The EU-wide changes resulting from the provisions of the ATA Directive and previously also from the OECD actions under the BEPS Action Plan should have the intended effect of eliminating at least some of the aggressive tax optimisation activities without significantly affecting the interests of taxpayers. Contribution / Value Added: The article presents a comparative analysis of previous and current thin capitalisation solutions, which allowed the evaluation of regulations introduced by the Polish legislator as well as EU solutions.
The right to clean air as a special form of the right to environmental protection – international and national regulations
Authors: Jaśkiewicz Aleksandra , Kasprzyk Jakub ,   University of Rzeszów, College of Social Sciences, Poland
Published: January 2023

The paper is an attempt to present the issue of the right to clean air and its regulation in the legal system at the international, regional and domestic level. Modern society shows an increasing awareness of the environment, and thus expects public authorities to take appropriate steps to regulate this issue. It should be noted that the UN and the European Union have played a particularly important role in this process. Both organizations have created a number of acts, affecting the discussed topic in direct as well as indirect ways. What is more, the paper focuses on both the right to a clean environment and the right to clean air, emphasizing the differences between these concepts, as well as discussing their impact on the development of legislation. What is additionally very important from the perspective of the presented issue is also the jurisprudence of Polish courts in this area and the position adopted by the jurisprudence without recognizing the right to clean air as a subjective right belonging to each individual, but belonging to the whole society, ipso facto closing the way for citizens to obtain satisfaction of claims for the state's inability to maintain the set air standards.
