Comparing the negotiation of attitudes in audience-sensitive art exhibition labels: how they engage visitors of different age groups
Authors: Yao Siyu , Chen Yumin
Published: January 2025

This article examines how audience-sensitive art exhibition labels engage visitors of different age groups – children and adults – from an appraisal perspective. The potential of evaluative language and emotionally charged expressions in enhancing visitor engagement is increasingly recognized by museum professionals, while it has received limited in-depth exploration in the research literature. A corpus of 56 audience-sensitive labels from an exhibition at the Art Gallery of New South Wales in Australia was compiled for a comparative analysis of how they negotiate affect, judgement, and appreciation meanings. The findings reveal that both sets of labels frequently employ positive and inscribed appreciations to evaluate the qualities of the artworks. However, there are notable differentiations regarding the realizations of attitude types, subtypes, polarity, mode, appraisers, and the appraised triggers/targets. This article contributes to our understanding about the use of evaluative language in art exhibition labels for children and adults, offering insights into audience-sensitive label writing practice in the art museum context.

The study was aimed at evaluating the dynamics of the ocular surface temperature of healthy rabbits (chinchilla breed, 10 months’ age) in the ciliary body projection during artificial transpalpebral cooling (10°C). The study was conducted in 24 rabbits (48 eyes). Developed original thermoelectric devices were used for thermometry of the ocular surface and its cooling. The initial epibulbar temperature was measured by the contact method in the ciliary body projection prior to cooling. The eye was cooled by contact through closed eyelids with a constant temperature of the cooling surface of 10°C. Local epibulbar temperature was measured during 30 minutes of cooling every 10 minutes, as well as after stopping the cold exposure for 40 minutes. The decrease in the ocular surface temperature of rabbits in the ciliary body projection during the first 10 minutes was 4.6°C and for the next 20 minutes it was only 0.7°C. A rapid recovery of epibulbar temperature by 3.9°C was observed within the first 10 minutes after cessation of cold exposure, followed by delayed warming of the ocular surface by only 0.6°C for the next 30 minutes. Transpalpebral contact controlled ocular cooling at 10°C enabled to achieve a potentially therapeutic level of hypothermia of the structures of the ocular anterior segment, which led to the prospect of using the beneficial properties of artificial local hypothermia in ophthalmology.

Published: January 2025

The cultivation of maize (Zea mays L.) is of significant global economic importance as it is the third most widely grown cereal worldwide. Numerous harmful organisms affect this crop, impacting its yields. Among these, the “fall armyworm” Spodoptera frugiperda J. E. Smith, a corn pest, is the main culprit causing substantial economic losses because of its damage. Besides this pest, various beneficial insects are associated with the maize crops that play a crucial role in its control. The present research was conducted at the National Institute of Agricultural Sciences (INCA) in Cuba to list the insects associated with S. frugiperda in the maize agroecosystem with a ‘MAIG-Diamante’ cultivar. One hundred randomly selected plants were sampled in a zig-zag pattern, and the inner whorl leaves and other parts of the plants were examined. Seven samplings were carried out weekly. Classification of species was done using taxonomic keys. In the agroecosystem, insects belonging to 7 orders, 22 families, and 28 species were found. These were categorized according to their habits as 15 phytophagous, 11 predators, 1 parasitoid, and 1 pollinator species. Spodoptera frugiperda, Zelus longipes, Zelus sp., Nezara viridula, Peregrinus maidis, Oxymerus aculeatus, an unspecified species of beetle, Brachiacantha decora, Doru sp., and Apis mellifera were very frequent. In contrast, the rest of the remaining species were somewhat frequent.

Published: January 2025

Objetivo: comprender las vivencias sobre el consumo de sustancias psicoactivas en jóvenes y adultos institucionalizados en un centrode salud mental.
Materiales y método: estudio cualitativo con diseño microetnográfico sobre una población conformada por jóvenes y adultos institucionalizados por consumo de sustancias psicoactivas; la selección de la muestra fue a conveniencia, según los criterios  establecidos. Se aplicó una entrevista semiestructurada y se utilizó el modelo propuesto por Madeleine Leininger para el análisis e interpretación de resultados.
Resultados: se obtuvieron dos categorías centrales y seis subcategorías. 1. En el mundo de la drogadicción (apreciación de los otrossobre la persona drogadicta, opinión de sí mismo con relación al uso de sustancias psicoactivas y consecuencias de la drogadicción); 2. Inicio en el mundo de la drogadicción (características del individuo vinculadas al consumo de drogas, circunstancias relacionadas con el grupo de iguales y con el ámbito familiar).
Conclusiones: los jóvenes y adultos consumidores de sustancias psicoactivas son vinculados a hechos delictivos y violencia, lo quecausa discriminación y rechazo. Las vivencias con relación al consumo generan opiniones sobre sí mismos que afectan el ámbito  personal, familiar y social, dificultando la adherencia al proceso de rehabilitación.
Descolonizando o planejamento para a proteção socioambiental: uma experiência na periferia de Fortaleza, Brasil
Authors: Taissa Silva Frota Naggila , Figueiredo Sampaio Freitas Clarissa
Published: January 2025

Nas principais metrópoles do Sul Global, a adoção de conceitos estrangeiros de desenvolvimento legitimou a proteção dos interesses das elites locais no planejamento urbano. No Brasil, isso resultou na urbanização informal, criando um descompasso entre os planos governamentais e a realidade urbana, ameaçando a preservação de ecossistemas periféricos. Este estudo analisa como movimentos de base descolonizaram o planejamento, questionando regulamentações que marginalizam o desenvolvimento em áreas periféricas. Discutimos o papel do ativismo comunitário na promoção de um paradigma de planejamento inovador, priorizando demandas socioambientais sobre conceitos importados de sustentabilidade. Através da pesquisa-ação, acompanhamos a luta pela proteção da "Lagoa da Viúva" em Fortaleza, Ceará. Reconhecemos que a resposta à crise climática surge do "conhecimento situado", observando que o reconhecimento legal da área como "parque urbano" e os investimentos em equipamentos de lazer não são resultado de políticas formais, mas de estratégias políticas de atores da comunidade que buscaram responsabilizar o governo por suas demandas. Esse caso destaca o uso de práticas pedagógicas para fortalecer iniciativas de planejamento alternativo e conscientizar futuros planejadores sobre o componente político de sua profissão.

Feminismo, ciudadanía y la recepción del golpe de Estado chileno de 1973 en la Alianza de Mujeres Costarricenses (AMC)
Authors: Moreno Vargas María Daniela
Published: January 2025

Este artículo inicia en la primera parte con una reflexión sobre el concepto de la ciudadanía femenina y sobre el feminismo maternalista. Posteriormente, se compone de un apartado acerca de la participación política de las mujeres en la segunda mitad del siglo XX en América Latina y otro sobre el estudio de la recepción del golpe de Estado en Chile por parte de la agrupación Alianza de Mujeres Costarricenses (AMC) desde el enfoque teórico del feminismo maternalista. El objetivo de la investigación es analizar la recepción que hubo por parte de la AMC sobre dicho evento político que en 1973 sacude en general a todo el pueblo latinoamericano, dentro del contexto de la Guerra Fría y de la segunda ola del feminismo en América Latina que fue clave para el desenvolvimiento de movimientos sociales de mujeres. Para lograr esto se recurrió al análisis del discurso presentado en publicaciones hechas por el periódico femenino Nuestra Voz entorno a dicho golpe.
reflexión conceptual sobre la muerte del (A)rte
Authors: Brenes Sánchez Jeff
Published: January 2025

Al analizar las manifestaciones artísticas occidentales de los últimos sesenta años, es posible comprender por qué la discusión teórica sobre la muerte del arte tuvo tanta acogida durante el siglo XX y evidenciar los motivos que han generado tan diversas relecturas de los planteamientos hegelianos sobre la muerte del arte. Para realizar este análisis teórico-conceptual se tomaron en cuenta, de forma comparativa y hermenéutica, posturas canónicas y otras menos conocidas para ofrecer una visión amplia del tema, a la vez que se intenta establecer relaciones conceptuales entre las teorías sobre la muerte del arte en los siglos XX y XXI y algunas manifestaciones del fenómeno artístico postmoderno que incentivan dichas reflexiones. Al final se propone la sustitución del concepto obra de arte, asociado al arte más tradicional, por otros conceptos que se consideran más adecuados para describir fenómeno plástico posmoderno.
Inestabilidad compleja de la cabecera del río Aguas Zarcas
Authors: Peraldo Huertas Giovanni , Badilla Coto Elena , Quesada Román Leonardo
Published: January 2025

En julio de 2023 un deslizamiento de importantes proporciones, ocurrido en el sector de Pozo Verde del Parque Nacional Juan Castro Blanco, produjo un tren de flujos de lodo y escombros que afectó de diferente manera la población de Aguas Zarcas. En este artículo se integran las observaciones geológicas, los datos históricos recopilados a partir de oralidad, el reconocimiento mineral mediante difractometría y la fotointerpretación geomorfológica de fotos aéreas de 1981. Estos análisis demuestran que no es la primera vez que un gran deslizamiento se manifiesta en el área. La oralidad señala que el área deslizada ya venía mostrando un proceso de inestabilidad desde los años setenta y ochenta del siglo pasado. Además, la fotointerpretación en las fotos aéreas analizadas en el laboratorio de Geomática de la Escuela Centroamericana de Geología de la Universidad de Costa Rica (UCR), muestra un relieve característico de inestabilidad de laderas, y el área afectada directamente por el deslizamiento muestra cicatrices de antiguos deslizamientos, lográndose determinar la presencia de tres cuerpos independientes de inestabilidad. A lo largo de los ríos Aguas Zarcas y Barroso, se observan restos recientes para 1981 de depósitos de flujos de escombros provenientes de diversos deslizamientos pequeños. Asimismo, el análisis difractométrico llevado a cabo en la Escuela de Química de la UCR, de muestras de suelo tomadas en el deslizamiento, arrojó resultados mineralógicos interesantes relacionados con grupos de arcillas por alteración hidrotermal, tal como la montmorillonita, una arcilla expansiva, aunque no se logró conocer el porcentaje de expansión. Todos estos aspectos juntos señalan que el área de las cabeceras del río Aguas Zarcas ha sido un lugar susceptible a generar grandes deslizamientos, por lo que es importante que el sitio esté bajo vigilancia constante.
Delimitación y caracterización de los abanicos aluviales en La Bajada de Aguas Zarcas, Costa Rica
Authors: Mora Chinchilla Rolando
Published: January 2025

Los abanicos aluviales son formaciones sedimentarias típicas de regiones montañosas, donde el flujo de agua cargado de sedimentos sale de cañones estrechos a zonas más amplias y de menor pendiente, depositando los sedimentos y formando estructuras en forma de abanico. Estos abanicos pueden variar en actividad, siendo algunos muy dinámicos con frecuentes inundaciones y otros más estables debido a la configuración geológica y los procesos tectónicos. En la Bajada de Aguas Zarcas, ubicada en el Distrito Aguas Zarcas, Cantón de San Carlos, Alajuela, Costa Rica, se identificaron varios abanicos aluviales coalescentes. Entre estos, el abanico del río Aguas Zarcas es el más extenso, seguido por otros como el paleo-río Aguas Zarcas, el río San Rafael, y el río Negritos, entre otros. La morfología de estos abanicos muestra que los sedimentos se acumulan y esparcen, creando formas del terreno características. La composición de los abanicos en Aguas Zarcas varía desde bloques de dimensiones centimétricas a métricas en las zonas proximales, hasta estratos arenosos y cenizas en las áreas distales. La identificación de las áreas activas e inactivas de estos abanicos es crucial para evaluar los riesgos de inundación. Las áreas activas son aquellas donde la deposición y erosión son posibles, y pueden ser más propensas a futuras inundaciones. El estudio incluyó la utilización de mapas geológicos y topográficos, así como inspecciones de campo para verificar la actividad de los abanicos. Se determinó que los abanicos aluviales en la Bajada de Aguas Zarcas han sido influenciados por procesos tectónicos y volcánicos, afectando la deposición y el flujo de los sedimentos. Este análisis proporciona una base para la gestión de riesgos y el desarrollo sostenible en áreas propensas a inundaciones, destacando la importancia de comprender la dinámica sedimentaria y geomorfológica de los abanicos aluviales.

Ticks (Acari: Ixodidae) infesting cattle in three northeastern Algeria regions during the summer season
Authors: Derradj L. , Kohil K. , Gharbi M.
Published: January 2025

Hard ticks are ectoparasites and vectors of many pathogens. Studies on hard ticks in cattle have rarely been conducted in northeastern Algeria. This study aimed to estimate the infestation rate, distribution, and biological diversity of hard tick species infesting 122 cattle in Mila, Jijel, and Guelma (northeastern Algeria) provinces during the summer of 2019. A total of 1,927 ticks belonging to two hard tick genera (Rhipicephalus; 85.83%, Hyalomma; 14.17%) and nine species were collected. Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) annulatus (54.5%) and Rhipicephalus bursa (28.18%) were widespread in northeastern Algeria. Several species were reported for the first time in the regions studied. In addition, the intensity of tick infestation did not vary according to breed, sex and age of cattle. The information gathered could help develop more effective tick control programmes in these regions. Further studies are needed in other regions of Algeria to generate a comprehensive national tick database.

Experimental investigation of the effects of dispersed nanoalumina additive on plastic viscosity and yield stress values of cement-based grouts with fly ash
Authors: Çolak Andaç Batur , Çelik Fatih , Yıldız Oğuzhan , Bozkır Samet Mufit
Published: January 2025

The effects of nanoalumina (n-Al2O3) additions at various proportions by mass (0.0%, 0.3%, %0.6, 0.9%, 1.2%, and 1.5%) on plastic viscosity and yield stress values of cement-based grout replacement with fly ash at different contents (0% for control purposes, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, and 30%) were experimentally studied in this work. To minimize nanoalumina precipitation in free water and to provide homogeneous dispersion in water by removing these adhering nanopowders from each other, the ultrasonication method was applied in this study. Test results showed that shear thickening (dilatant) behavior was observed in all grout samples. The flowability of cement-based grouts containing fly ash considerably increases with the amount of nanoalumina added to the grout samples. The addition of nanoalumina and fly ash together in the grout mixes caused a considerable decrease in the yield stress value of these mixtures. Moreover, using all the experimental data obtained, an artificial neural network has been developed to predict the plastic viscosity and yield stress values. The developed model has been able to predict plastic viscosity with an average error rate of -0.17% and yield stress with an average error rate of 0.24%.
Days of Shame and Disgrace. The Assassination of President Gabriel Narutowicz in Interwar Poetry
Authors: Kulczyńska-Kruk Joanna
Published: January 2025

The subject of the article are poetic representations of the assassination of Gabriel Narutowicz, the first President of Poland. The political crime that took place on 16 December 1922 was widely commented by the national and world press. Its traces can also be found in literary works. The examples which were included in the memoir and journalistic context are well-known poems written by Antoni Słonimski Na śmierć prezydenta Narutowicza and Julian Tuwim Pogrzeb prezydenta Narutowicza and 15 XII 1922. Wspomnienie, but also less frequently recalled poems by Jan Nepomucen Miller Prezydent na marach, Józef Wittlin Podzwonne za skazańca, Edward Szymański Śmierć Prezydenta, fragments of the Noc św. Jana Ewangelisty written by Emil Zegadłowicz and the poem Piłsudski by Anatol Stern. These poems are the basis of research aimed at answering questions about the motivation and purpose of their creation, as well as the ways of approaching the topic (poetics, factual, ideological and ethical content).
Tuwim and the alternative. About contemporary musical adaptations of Skamandrite’s poetry
Authors: Regiewicz Adam
Published: January 2025

The article deals with the presence and popularity of poetry in the popular circuit and especially in the alternative music scene. Since 1970, when Czesław Niemen and Marek Grechuta presented a new way of interpreting the poetry of the great classics of literature, there has not been as much interest in poetry in the music circulation as there has been on the Polish scene since 2000. Particularly the poetry of the 1920s (Tuwim, Broniewski, Gałczyński) has become a source of musical inspiration. One of the reasons for this popularity seems to be the common anti-system message, combining avant-garde and counterculture. Using the example of musical adaptations of Julian Tuwim’s poetry, the article tries to point out the common ground between avant-garde poetry and alternative aesthetics. These links can be seen in the strong politicisation of the message, social involvement, but also in the sensitivity to the word, the turn to the everyday and the language of the street.
The Euro Area has a growth problem
Authors: Barigozzi Matteo , Lissona Claudio , Luciani Matteo
Published: January 2025

The decomposition of GDP into potential output—the level of output consistent with current technologies and "normal" use of capital and labor—and the output gap—the percentage deviation of GDP from its potential—is a fundamental task for policymakers. Potential output tells us how fast an economy can grow in the long run; the output gap helps assess the cyclical position of the economy and, thus, potential inflationary pressures (Jarociński and Lenza, 2018).
Two new genera of myrmecomorph longicorn beetles from Australia and New Caledonia (Insecta: Coleoptera, Cerambycidae)
Authors:   Queensland Museum, Vives Eduard
Published: January 2025

Two new genera and species of myrmecomorph Cerambycidae are described. Myrmeciocephalus monteithi gen. et sp. nov. (Cerambycinae: Ametrocephalini) comes from mountains of north Queensland, where it apparently associates with the ant, Myrmecia flavicoma minuscula Forel, 1915. All members of this tribe are ant mimics. Myrmeparmena sudrei gen. et sp. nov., (Lamiinae: Parmenini) is from the Isle of Pines, New Caledonia, and is provisionally placed in the tribe Parmenini. For this species we lack any information relative to the formicids with which it may coexist.

Published: January 2025

Two species of the fossil pachyrhizodontid teleost, Pachyrhizodus, are present in the marine Lower Cretaceous (mid to late Albian) Toolebuc and Allaru Formations of the Eromanga Basin in Queensland, Australia. New morphological data on P. marathonensis (Etheridge Jnr., 1905) is provided as part of a revision of the species. The smaller and much less common P. grawi sp. nov. is described and is shown to co-exist with P. marathonensis but has a more restricted distribution. Pachyrhizodus grawi is more gracile than the larger species, with a shorter premaxilla and with its jaw articulation positioned more anteriorly, below and just behind the back of the orbit.
A review of Macrophthalmus sensu lato (Crustacea: Decapoda: Macrophthalmidae) from Australia, including two new species and new records
Authors:   Queensland Museum, Davie Peter
Published: January 2025

Nineteen species of Macrophthalmus sensu lato from Australia and its Territories are reviewed, diagnosed and illustrated. One new species M. gagudju is described from the Northern Territory. It differs from its nearest allies by carapace shape, armature and granulation, thick setae on the inner face of the palm of the male cheliped, and the lack of a tooth on the fixed finger of the male claw. Five species are newly recorded for the Australian fauna, Macrophthalmus (Paramareotis) erato De Man, 1888, from the vicinity of Darwin, and in Kakadu National Park; M. (Macrophthalmus) dentatus Stimpson, 1858, from Moreton Bay; M. (M.) ceratophorus Sakai, 1969, from the Great Barrier Reef; M. (M.) serenei Takeda & Komai, 1991, from the Great Barrier Reef and Cocos- Keeling Is.; and M. (M.) graeffei A. Milne-Edwards, 1873, from coastal waters off eastern Cape York. The record of M. (M.) graeffei is the first from the Western Pacific since the original type description; a neotype is designated. It is demonstrated that specimens recorded from the Indian Ocean under this name are not conspecific with M. (M.) graeffei, and a new species name, M. (M.) indicus is provided. The geographic range of Macrophthalmus (Mareotis) abercrombiei has been extended westwards from the Gulf of Carpentaria to Kakadu National Park, on the western edge of Arnhem Land; M. (Mareotis) darwinensis is now known from northeastern Australia and New Caledonia. Chaenostoma and Tasmanoplax, previously considered subgenera of Macrophthalmus, are formally treated as full genera. Tasmanoplax latifrons is recorded from the Hunter River, central New South Wales, considerably extending northwards its known distribution. The typically subtropical species Chaenostoma punctulatus is newly recorded from Port Augusta, South Australia, and it is speculated that this has been a recent introduction. Keys to the genera and species of Australian Macrophthalminae are presented.

The Indo-west Pacific mangrove crab genus Neosesarma Serène & Soh, 1970, is revised. A new species, N. hirsutus, is described from northem Australia. The distribution of N. rectipectinatum is extended south to northern Australia and southern Papua. All species can be separated by differences in male claw tuberculation, the length and number of teeth of the pectinated crest on the dorsal surface of the cheliped palm, and the shape of the male first gonopods.
Renunciar para persistir: la producción familiar que cede el uso de tierra en Uruguay
Authors: Sabia Suárez Lucía , Cardeillac Gulla Joaquín
Published: January 2025

Este artículo contribuye a identificar las respuestas de la producción familiar (PF) ante las dinámicas de cambio agrario poniendo foco en los productores familiares que renuncian al uso de parte de sus tierras mediante las formas de arrendamiento, medianería, aparcería o pastoreo. A partir de un análisis cuantitativo de los censos agropecuarios se demuestra que: a) las formas de renuncia al uso se expresan en procesos diferentes en los sectores agrícola y ganadero b) renunciar a producir se constituye en un mecanismo de persistencia en relación con quienes no lo hacen; c) la reincorporación del uso por estos actores se asocia a una descomposición hacia la producción en base a trabajo asalariado.
Estrategias de la Agricultura Familiar en el Ecuador. Estudios de caso en contextos de agronegocio y migración
Authors: Chaves Alejandra , Guerra Martha , Yaguana Gladys
Published: January 2025

Este artículo analiza las estrategias de reproducción implementadas por las familias en contextos de agronegocio y migración en dos provincias del Ecuador. El objetivo fue discutir la relevancia de la categoría analítica, Agricultura Familiar (AF), que incluye desde agricultores cercanos al nivel de subsistencia hasta productores capitalizados, para el análisis de los territorios rurales. La información fue recolectada a través de un trabajo etnográfico en los cantones: Pedro Moncayo, Cayambe y Nabón. Para el levantamiento y análisis de resultados, se utilizó un enfoque territorial dialéctico centrado en los procesos de des-reterritorialización. Los principales hallazgos muestran interacciones recíprocas y contingentes entre las dinámicas de los territorios rurales y las prácticas familiares. Estrategias como la producción agroecológica, los emprendimientos florícolas, la intensificación de actividades no agrícolas o la migración, son formas en las que los hogares buscan mantener sus modos de vida. En este sentido, consideramos que la categoría AF es válida, pues las actividades y la toma de decisiones se realizan en el seno de una familia que valora las difíciles condiciones de producción, los riesgos, las aspiraciones de las nuevas generaciones, así como el afecto y el apego que sienten por el territorio en el que habitan.
Una forma ch’ixi de producir y hacer mercado: Mixtura de estrategias de productoras y productores bolivianos de la Agricultura Familiar en un Mercado Mayorista Frutihortícola de Argentina
Authors: Santin Antonella Agustina
Published: January 2025

En un marco de disputas globales en torno a la producción y el abastecimiento alimentario, se distinguen las lógicas del agronegocio y el campesinado como orientaciones que proponen modelos de desarrollo agroalimentario opuestos. En este contexto, en Latinoamérica y especialmente en Argentina, las experiencias de los mercados mayoristas frutihortícolas impulsadas por productoras y productores migrantes de la Agricultura Familiar se vuelven relevantes. Con el objetivo de comprender el aporte de estos mercados y sus agentes mediante sus lógicas y prácticas subyacentes desplegadas, en el presente trabajo se presenta un análisis sobre las estrategias productivas y comerciales de las unidades familiares que los impulsan. El mismo, se aplica desde el enfoque de los balances internos de las unidades familiares que retoma Van der Ploeg (2016) desde la perspectiva Chayanoviana, tomando el caso de estudio del Mercado Frutihortícola Saropalca inserto en la Región Metropolitana de Buenos Aires, Argentina. Para ello, se utiliza una metodología cualitativa con revisión de fuentes primarias y secundarias. Como parte de las conclusiones, se arriba a que la inserción de las y los productores-operadores familiares en las cadenas mediante sus propias prácticas y formas generadas, posiciona a la agricultura familiar de pequeña escala en el circuito de abastecimiento regional. Crean así una forma ch’ixi de producir y hacer mercado, lo cual abona a la construcción de alternativas de desarrollo creativas y posibles en el contexto actual, en base a la mixtura de estrategias desplegadas por sus unidades familiares y organizativas.

The article deals with the issues related to measures taken by the state together with commercial and educational organizations, in the face of the rapid threat of the onset of the harmful effects of global warming on the planet caused by excessive consumption of technologies based on the processing of carbon-containing components, measures to counteract carbon pollution of atmospheric air, and in particular the Carbon Polygons project, the impact of these scientific and technical breakthroughs to create new jobs in the field of environmental technologies, to raise public awareness of the problems of climate change, stimulate innovation and the introduction of new technologies, the growth of the economy of the «green» sector, attract investment in environmentally friendly projects, and create a more sustainable and competitive economy. The scientific work also focuses on problematic issues of decarbonization regulation at the legislative level: the lack of clear and precise legal norms in the field of carbon regulation, gaps in the law regarding liability measures applied to persons who allow excessive «carbonation» of air, soils and waters.
BNPL lending in the Russian Federation: risk assessment and legal regulation issues
Authors: Malygin I. Yu.
Published: January 2025

Civil law, based on the principles of autonomy of will and dispositiveness, allows economically identical relationships to be formalised through various contractual constructions. The purpose of such non-standardisation is often to circumvent the law in order to maximise profits or reduce the cost of compliance. In the bancassurance sector, for example, there is a practice of selling collective insurance by including the borrower (the insured) in an insurance policy already formed by the bank (the policyholder) and the insurer. Under this insurance model, many legal guarantees of the borrower’s rights simply do not apply, and therefore the legal regulation has required significant changes. Since 2021, a similar phenomenon — «instalments», «payment by instalments (shares)» or BNPL-lending — has spread in the commercial sphere. The article analyses BNPL-lending models, their risks, considers the mechanism of operation of such lending, assesses the integrity of such practices, identifies problems and prospects of legislative regulation of such «consumer lending».
The Ecclesiastical Court in pre-Petrine Russia. Issues of jurisdiction
Authors: Belousova M. A.
Published: January 2025

The article deals with the process of formation of the jurisdiction of the Orthodox ecclesiastical court in Russia in the period from the adoption of Christianity at the state level to the end of the XVII century. The author concludes that the process of narrowing the jurisdiction of the Russian Orthodox Church began long before the reforms of Peter the Great and was connected with the centralisation of state power and the growing need to correct the shortcomings of the church judicial system. Cases of normative interference of sovereigns in the jurisdiction of the church at all stages of pre-Petrine Russia, beginning with the church statutes of Princes Vladimir and Yaroslav, have been identified. It was the stronger, the more the state in the course of centralisation needed an orderly court. The special role of unconvicted literatures in the process of centralisation of justice is also shown.
Development of international legal norms on combating illicit trafficking in narcotic drugs and similar substances
Authors: Belyaev I. Yu.
Published: January 2025

The article examines the genesis of international legal norms on liability for illicit trafficking in narcotic drugs and similar substances. A threetier periodization of the development of international anti-drug norms is proposed. It is established that in the first period — the stage of colonial regulation — a division of states into producing countries and consuming countries of narcotic drugs and similar substances was formed. The author analyzes international regulatory material providing for liability for illicit trafficking in narcotic drugs and similar substances in relation to each of the three stages of development of international anti-drug law. Taking into account international regulatory legal acts, a conclusion is made that the emergence of the modern international drug control system was the result of the accumulation of all the experience accumulated by mankind in counteracting the illicit trafficking in narcotic drugs and similar substances.
Restrictive measures of the European Union in the field of maritime law: problems of legal regulation
Authors: Dykhanov I. V.
Published: January 2025

The article discusses the restrictive measures imposed by the European Union (EU) against the Russian Federation within the framework of Regulation No. 833/2014 and prohibiting entry into EU ports by ships flying the Russian flag. Based on the analysis of the relevant norms of EU legislation for their compliance with the basic provisions of international maritime law, as well as the primary law of the Union, the author concludes that the ban in question does not comply with either EU norms in the field of restrictive measures or the fundamental principles of international maritime law. In addition, this restrictive measure poses a threat to the stability of the system of relations in the field of international merchant shipping as such, since in reality it affects not only Russian, but also foreign shipowners.
Hip microinstability in subclinical FAI professional ballet dancer: clinical case
Authors: Gerasimov Sergey A. , Morozova Ekaterina A.
Published: January 2025

Background. Ballet dancers have peculiarities in the morphology of the hip joints, which is determined by their professional activities. Because of this, they are more susceptible to the development of pathological conditions of joints, which often present a specific clinical picture.
The aim is to describe the features of the development of structural damage to the hip joint of a ballet dancer and present the results of treatment.
Methods. The patient is a professional ballet dancer, 32 years old. She noted pain and limited range of motion in the right hip joint during dance classes. There were minimal anatomical features characteristic of femoroacetabular impingement, also damage to the articular labrum of the acetabulum and structures of the anterior joint capsule on computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. Pain and functional status were assessed using the VAS, HOOS, iHOT-12 before surgery and after 6, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48 months.
Results. Correction of bone deformity of the hip joint and all identified soft tissue damage was successfully carried out. After 5 months the patient returned to ballet dancing. According to VAS pain decreased from 6 points to 0 at control points. But slight aching pain after physical activity remained. During the follow-up, functional status was assessed as «excellent» according to HOOS and iHOT-12. However, the patient noted slight limitations in the range of motion when performing some professional exercises.
Conclusion. Patients with extreme hip range of motion and hip pain require a thorough clinical evaluation to ensure correct diagnosis and appropriate treatment. Arthroscopy of the hip joint allows achieving high results, including in patients with increased functional requirements, provided that arthroscopy is planned and performed taking into account the concept of microinstability.
Limitations on the Duration of Economic Activity Control
Authors: Lubeńczuk Grzegorz
Published: January 2025

The subject of the study is the analysis of the regulation contained in the Act of 6 March 2018 – Entrepreneurs’ Law (consolidated text, Journal of Laws 2024, item 236, as amended) specifying the permissible duration of the inspection of the entrepreneur’s economic activity by a given inspection authority in one calendar year in terms of doubts arising both in the doctrine and in the practice of applying this regulation regarding, among others, the possibility of relating the adopted regulation to control activities carried out by individual authorities, the method of determining the duration of the inspection in comparison with its permissible duration, the use of numerous exceptions to the adopted principles of conducting inspections, or the assessment of the effects of conducting inspections in violation of these principles. The considerations are based on the proposal to approach control as covering a certain period of time, the legal and factual situation in which the entrepreneur finds himself in connection with the initiation of control over him, which may significantly disrupt his normal functioning, which is the starting point for the interpretation of the provisions that determine the permissible duration of inspections, as well as the formulation of proposals for legislative changes that could contribute to a more effective implementation of the legislator’s goal of limiting the number, intensity and method of conducting economic activity inspections by public authorities.
The Concept of a Witness: Comparative Law Observations
Authors: Kmiecik Zbigniew Romuald
Published: January 2025

Being a witness in a case that is the subject of court or administrative proceedings entails significant procedural consequences for such a person, especially related to the prohibition of combining specific procedural roles and the obligation to appear when summoned. For this reason, it is extremely important to precisely determine what features or events determine whether a given entity has the status of a witness. However, the term “witness” does not have one, universal meaning in Polish. First of all, there is the concept of a witness in the factual sense and the concept of a witness in the legal sense. Furthermore, a witness in the legal sense is not a uniform institution, because legal regulations allow us to distinguish between an active witness and a passive witness, whose procedural functions are completely different. Even the referents of the name “active witness” have different constitutive features depending on the branch of procedural law. Regardless of this, within the criminal procedure itself, there are special categories of active witnesses, with specific rights and obligations or modes of examining: incognito witness, state’s evidence and injured party.

Status and Prospects for Research on the Polish Judicial System since mid-October 1938 till December 1939
Authors: Krzyżanowski Lech Marek
Published: January 2025

The dates from the title describe very important and key period at the end of the interwar period and the initial time of Soviet and German occupation of Poland. The period in question can be divided into two parts, first is the time of peaceful existence of the Second Polish Republic with the end of the peace already on the horizon, second is the time of subordination of all state activities to meet requirements related to conducting the war. The status of the national judicial systems has not been so far properly, comprehensively, fully described, and evaluated in the subject literature. However, there is a number of memoirs and diaries available to historians. Archival materials are dispersed and could be found in many different locations, unfortunately mostly out of the Country (London, German archives). The archival research in all these places allows thorough and detailed exploration and building a solid and verified database of documents. Unfortunately, papers from the prewar Ministry of Justice had been destroyed but files of Bar Councils and some courts survived the disaster. It could be complemented by personal documents and this would extend research perspectives.
