Mass Removal of Botnet Attacks Using Heterogeneous Ensemble Stacking PROSIMA classifier in IoT
Authors: Bhatt Priyang prakashchandra , Thakker Bhaskar V
Published: June 2022

In an Internet of Things (IoT) environment, any object, which is equipped with sensor node and other electronic devices can involve in the communication over wireless network. Hence, this environment is highly vulnerable to Botnet attack. Botnet attack degrades the system performance in a manner difficult to get identified by the IoT network users. The Botnet attack is incredibly difficult to observe and take away in restricted time. there are challenges prevailed in the detection of Botnet attack due to number of reasons such as its unique structurally repetitive nature, performing non uniform and dissimilar activities and  invisible nature followed by deleting the record of history. Even though existing mechanisms have taken action against the Botnet attack proactively, it has been observed failing to capture the frequent abnormal activities of Botnet attackers .When number of devices in the IoT environment increases, the existing mechanisms have missed more number of Botnet due to its functional complexity. So this type of attack is very complex in nature and difficult to identify. In order to detect Botnet attack, Heterogeneous Ensemble Stacking PROSIMA classifier is proposed. This takes advantage of cluster sampling in place of conventional random sampling for higher accuracy of prediction. The proposed classifier is tested on an experimental test setup with 20 nodes. The proposed approach enables mass removal of Botnet attack detection with higher accuracy that helps in the IoT environment to maintain the reliability of the entire network.

Within scientific community, there is a certain consensus to define "Big Data" as a global set, through a complex integration that embraces several dimensions from using of research data, Open Data, Linked Data, Social Network Data, etc. These data are scattered in different sources, which suppose a mix that respond to diverse philosophies, great diversity of structures, different denominations, etc. Its management faces great technological and methodological challenges: The discovery and selection of data, its extraction and final processing, preservation, visualization, access possibility, greater or lesser structuring, between other aspects, that allow showing a huge domain of study at the level of analysis and implementation in different knowledge domains. However, given the data availability and its possible opening: What problems do the data opening face? This paper shows a literature review about these security aspects.
Articulation Point Based Quasi Identifier Detection for Privacy Preserving in Distributed Environment
Authors: Chandrakar Ila
Published: June 2022

These days, huge data size requires high-end resources to be stored in IT organizations premises. They depend on cloud for additional resource necessities. Since cloud is a third-party, we cannot guarantee high security for our information as it might be misused. This necessitates the need of privacy in data before sharing to the cloud. Numerous specialists proposed several methods, wherein they attempt to discover explicit identifiers and sensitive data before distributing it. But, quasi-identifiers are attributes which can spill data of explicit identifiers utilizing background knowledge. Analysts proposed strategies to find quasi- identifiers with the goal that these properties can likewise be considered for implementing privacy. But, these techniques suffer from many drawbacks like higher time consumption and extract more quasi identifiers which decreases data utility. The proposed work overcomes this drawback by extracting minimum required quasi attributes with minimum time complexity.

Authors: AYDIN Mehmet Maruf , DAĞISTAN Emine , COŞGUN Zeliha
Published: June 2022

Purpose: We aimed to evaluate visceral and subcutaneous fat tissue and its association with hepatosteatosis on computed tomography (CT) scans to determine cut-off criteria for metabolic syndrome, measure abdominal obesity directly based on the visceral fat tissue area (VFTA) rather than indirectly based on waist circumference and obtain supportive findings by density measurements in addition to the VFTA measurements.Materials and Methods: The Hounsfield unit (HU) values, visceral, subcutaneous fat areas and HU values of 108 patients diagnosed with metabolic syndrome (MS) were determined according to the National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III 2001 Criteria by retrospectively analyzing their abdominal CT images taken for various reasons. The relationships of the obtained values with each other and to MS were evaluated.Results: The strongest predictor of MS was VFTA, and 156.47 cm² was the most significant value with 74.1% sensitivity and 58.6% specificity. An HU value of -102.99 for visceral fat tissue density (VFTD) was found as the second most significant finding with 75% sensitivity and 57.6% specificity. The VFTA values of the patients with hepatosteatosis were higher, and increased VFTA values were associated with lower VFTD values.Conclusion: The most important supportive finding was the demonstration of the possibility of measuring abdominal obesity, which has an important place among criteria, directly by measuring VFTA, rather than indirectly based on waist circumference.
Etik Değerlerin Ardalanı ve Evrim Teorisi
Authors: KARAAĞAÇ Osman
Published: June 2022

İnsanlar toplum halinde yaşamaya başladığı günden beri ferdin ve toplumun huzur ve refahı için bir takım ilkeler oluşturmuştur. Yazılı olan kuralların dışında toplumun kahir ekseriyeti tarafından benimsenen sözlü ve geleneksel değerler vardır. Bunlar etik değerlerdir. Etik değerlerin amacı insanın mutlu olmasını sağlamaktır. Amaç birlikteliğine rağmen etik değerlerin içerik ve yapısı itibariyle farklılıklar gözlemlenmektedir. Tanrısal etik anlayışını benimseyenler onun normatifliğini, insan merkezli olduğunu iddia edenler ise onun descriptif olduğunu savunmaktadırlar. Bu nedenle etik anlayışı üzerinden genel bir uzlaşı zor görünmektedir. Son zamanlarda dile getirilen yeni bir yaklaşıma göre ise etik değerler, yaşam gibi evrilerek ortaya çıkmıştır. Charles Darwin ve Richard Dawkins’e göre etik değerler başlangıç itibariyle hayvanların sahip olduğu özelliklerdir. Özellikle yardım etme duygusu birçok hayvanda gözlemlenmektedir. İnsanda etik değerler olarak nitelendirilen davranışları hayvanlardan almış, tecrübesi sonucunda onları geliştirerek bugünkü halini almasını sağlamıştır. Bu çalışmanın amacı evrimcilerin iddialarının temellerini sorgulamak ve insanlığa ne derece huzur getirip getiremeyeceğini tespit etmektir.

Background Volar locking plate (VLP) has gained the most popularity in the treatment of distal radius fractures due to its superior biomechanical property. In contrast, external fixation (EF) is not so extensively used. The aim of this study was to find what procedure is better in the management and achieves favorable outcomes in patients with comminuted distal radial fractures. Patient and methods This study included 30 patients with distal radial fractures AO types A3, C2, C3 in which 15 ubjects were managed with open reduction and internal fixation by volar plate, and another 15 were managed with external fixation augmented by K-wires. The minimum duration of follow-up in our study was six months. Results Patients treated with external fixation augmented by K-wires had grip strength range 15-27, patients treated with volar plating had grip strength range 8-27. There was no significant statistical difference between 2 groups regarding extension. In Group A Mann- Whitney test revealed that Gartland-Werely score had negative correlation with affected hand. In Group B the correlation was positive with AO/ OTA classification only and negative with affected hand and ulnar styloid fracture but also not statistically significant between Quick-DASH score with affected hand, AO/OTA classification and ulnar styloid fracture. Conclusion Both volar plating and external fixation augmented by K-wires are treatment choices for distal radius fractures. Whereas external fixation maintains a significant role in the treatment of distal radius fractures, ORIF with locked volar plating has changed the way many surgeons treat certain types of distal radius fractures.

Introduction Nonunion or delayed union is a known postoperative complication in long bone fractures. Substance abuse may impair bone healing. In this paper, we investigated the effect of narcotics on healing time in femoral shaft transverse fractures and the effect of substance abuse and smoking on postoperative healing time. Material and methods This cohort study was conducted at the Orthopedic Clinic of Poursina Hospital, Rasht from 2017–2019. Patients with transverse fractures of the femoral shaft who underwent intramedullary rod insertion were followed for 6 months. Bone healing time based on substance abuse and smoking status was evaluated. Results There was a significant association between various groups (categorized based on cigarette smoking and using drugs) in terms of bone healing status (P = 0.006). There was a statistically significant difference in healing status among the control group, smoker group, and addict and smoker group (P = 0.034 and P = 0.004, respectively). However, there was no statistically significant difference in healing status between control and addicts group (P = 0.517). Conclusions Treatment efficiency and performance in addicted and smoker patients are more unfavorable and hence which, in turn, requires more follow-up periods; therapies such as bone grafting and other methods are more frequently considered in addicted and smoker patients in case of lack of healing reaction. Therefore, prevention plans in high-risk groups can play a significant role in primary identification, treatment, and reducing the complications of fractures.

Introduction The more accurate is the measurement of the parameters for correcting the deformity of damaged spinal segments the more accurate will be the restoration of the sagittal profile and original anatomy of the spine. Purpose Substantiation of calculated indicators for deformity correction in one or two damaged spinal motion segments in the thoracic and lumbar spine according to spiral computed tomography. Material and methods The material for the study was the results of spiral computed tomography (SCT) of an anatomically unchanged thoracic and lumbar spine in 25 patients (12 women and 13 men aged 18 to 60 years). The study model consisted of three vertebral bodies and four adjacent discs from T4 to L4. Anterior and posterior dimensions of the vertebral bodies, intervertebral discs, and segmental deformity angle α (formed by the lower endplate of the overlying vertebra and the upper endplate of the underlying vertebra) were measured using RadiAnt computer software in the midsagittal projection. Damage to the body of the middle vertebra with adjacent discs was modeled, the dimensions of which were calculated from the adjacent vertebral bodies and adjacent discs. Statistical processing of the material was carried out using the computer software SPSS Statistics. Results The measurement error of the anterior interbody spaces was 1.4 ± 0.4 mm, the posterior interbody spaces were 1.3 ± 0.5 mm, the error in calculating the segmental deformation angle α was 2.5 ± 0.6 degrees, what indicates the high accuracy of the proposed method. Discussion The use of absolute deformity values as a standard for surgical intervention in the treatment of vertebral fractures is complicated by varieties of normal anatomy. Conclusion The proposed calculations for the restoration of the anterior and posterior interbody distances, as well as the angle of segmental deformity α after a spinal cord injury of the thoracic and lumbar spine provide an approach to the target individualized anatomical dimensions.

Relevance Traumatic spinal cord injury is a complex, urgent and multidisciplinary problem with a high percentage of disability and subsequent social exclusion. Treatment of neuroorthopedic pathologies is often associated with the need to use technical means of rehabilitation. The objective was to develop a successful orthosis for a patient with severe spinal cord injury. Material and methods The article describes a clinical case of a 16-year-old female patient with the outcome of a severe concomitant injury: lower paraplegia, sensory disturbances in the lower extremities and pelvic organ function. MRI of the spinal cord revealed cystic-glial changes and atrophy of the spinal cord at the Th10-12 level. Results and discussion With clinical signs of paraplegia and a complete spinal cord injury according to the instrumentation findings, the patient had poor prognosis for the recovery of motor functions in the lower limbs. One of the main tasks of medical rehabilitation of patients with spinal cord injury is the activation of movements and restoration of locomotion. The Hip-Knee-Ankle-Foot Orthosis (HKAFO) manufactured at the Center was intended for unloading, replacement and fixation. The device was light and strong due to greater use of carbon layers, equipped with functional hinges to prevent development of contractures, had a high corset for external stabilization of the body and double knee splint for safe standing. Conclusion For the paraplegic patient, the opportunity to stand and walk with the support using successful orthosis was important from both physical and psychosocial perspectives and allowed correction of contractures in the catamnesis.

Incorporating the lasers in the oral and maxillofacial surgery practice has led to improvement in the patient care. In this article, we have summarized the application of lasers in the field of oral and maxillofacial surgery by review of literatures.
Pneumatologiczny aspekt miłosierdzia Bożego według ks. Michała Sopoćki
Authors: Kruszewska Elżbieta
Published: June 2022

Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie teologicznej myśli ks. Sopoćki dotyczącej zagadnienia miłosierdzia Ducha Świętego. Sam temat miłosierdzia Trzeciej Osoby Boskiej nie jest wystarczająco obecny w literaturze teologicznej. Najczęściej przymiot ten łączony jest z Osobą Boga Ojca lub Syna Bożego. Profesor Sopoćko wnikliwie opracował przymiot miłosierdzia w odniesieniu do każdej z Osób Boskich, dając podstawy teologiczne tego kultu. W czasach, w których żył i pracował, jego postrzeganie istoty i działania Ducha Świętego jako Boga Miłosiernego wniosło wiele nowości w dziedzinie teologii. Po śmierci Błogosławionego jego opracowania wpłynęły na decyzję Kościoła o zniesieniu zakazu na kult miłosierdzia Bożego. Również rozwijając współczesną pneumatologię warto czerpać z tych rozważań, które wciąż pozostają oryginalne i pełne głębi.

SPECIFICS OF SPATIAL ORGANISATION AND ITS ROLE IN TRANSFORMATION OF SUBJECTIVAL TEXT STRUCTURE IN THE NOVEL A DISTANT JOURNEY BY B.K. ZAYTSEV
Authors: Yagin Egor I.
Published: June 2022

This article reviews spatial organization in the novel A Distant Journey by B.K. Zaytsev. An important part of spatial organization is the category of the Other, which appears to be constitutionally significant. Position of the Other space or hero helps to highlight subjects substituting and interchanging, and the same is characteristic for locus. Both a character and a place can represent an example of The Other. Coming-of-age of a character comes from interacting with The Other, something different from the character’s Self. The comparison of the Self with The Other acts as a trigger for subject’s transformation. A particular location happens to be connected with a particular narrative subject. Analysis of spatial structure of the novel allows to discover the patterns of subjective text organization transformation and to define important connections of particular places and characters/

Authors: Kosinskaya Aleksandra S.
Published: June 2022

The article is dedicated to the problem of author’s reflections on person and personality in the literary texts of the famous British writer of the twentieth century C.S. Lewis. The main philological theories of the phenomenon of author’s reflections in the literary text are considered. Author’s reflections in a literary text, as a rule, are aimed at finding the causes and meaning of the events depicted, may contain a detailed author’s assessment of the character of the hero, his actions, situation, or they may prescribe the ethical necessity of the hero’s actions. The author’s reasoning about a person can model a conditional situation: describe how the hero would act under certain circumstances. The author’s reflections on anthropological themes in the fairy tale for adults “That Hideous Strength” are analyzed. C.S. Lewis’s reflections on man in “That Hideous Strength” are considered and classified from the point of view of their communicative function. Some aspects of translation of the author’s reflections in “That Hideous Strength” into Russian are discussed. The article attempts to comprehend the role of the author’s reflections on man in the literary anthropology of C.S. Lewis’s imagery.

The article is devoted to the usage of video materials as an innovative way of learning and teaching contemporary foreign language, particularly slang. The article is aimed at studying and defining the ways to use films and series at the English language lessons effectively for the purpose of enlarging students’ vocabulary with the words and phrases of colloquial speech. The article is based on various works on this issue, for example the works of L.V. Sadovina, N.S. Savitskaya, D.M. Chun, J. Sherman and others. It dwells on the prerequisites of involving video into the studying process, defines the advantages of learning by means of films and series, specifies the criteria of film selection and the stages of the studying process involving films and series. The problem of the absence of slang words in textbooks is discussed and the necessity of including slang into language learning is highlighted. Films and series are viewed as the unique authentic materials in which slang is widely represented. The importance of comparing neutral words and synonymous slang is emphasized. The peculiarities of the work at each stage are exemplified by the tasks to the TV series «Gilmore Girls». As a result of the research we can conclude that a film is an effective and entertaining way of learning contemporary spoken speech. The scientific novelty of the research is manifested in focusing on slang as a feature of the modern English language and also on video as the means of learning slang and thus increasing students’ vocabulary, quality of comprehension, the ability to differentiate styles and usage peculiarities. The article is of particular interest to the teachers of foreign language at higher educational establishments or high school.

Modern education is inextricably linked with the intensification of the educational process; classical methods are actively complemented by innovative methods of working with students. Partnerships between Russian and foreign universities are rapidly developing, and the number of foreign students is increasing. The organization of the productive structure of the educational process and the creation of a favorable psychological climate for students coming to Russia, as well as the formation of communicative competence, become the priority tasks of training. This article presents the experience of teaching Russian literature to foreign students under bachelor’s and preparatory faculty programs, with special attention paid to the formation of linguistic, sociolinguistic, socio-cultural, pragmatic and other competencies. The authors had a aims not only to show the specifics of conducting literature classes in a foreign language audience, but also to systematize and describe different types of game tasks that can be used in groups of different levels of Russian language proficiency. The work presents three blocks of game tasks: language, speech and role-playing games, many of them are so organic to the educational process and correspond to the curriculum that they can be used immediately in the classroom without additional training for both the teacher and the student. These games have been tested for five years and have established themselves as an effective tool for updating and consolidating information, developing attention, building logical connections, improving the skill of working in groups and improving the general atmosphere in the lesson. In conclusion, it is emphasized that the use of gaming technologies in teaching contributes to motivating students to acquire knowledge, successfully master the basic material on literature, develop creative abilities and professional skills.
CONTEMPORARY FIGURATIVE CHEKHOVIANA IN THE DON AND AZOV REGION: STATING THE PROBLEM
Authors: Larionova Marina Ch. , Mikhalyuk Roman G.
Published: June 2022

Chekhov’s oeuvre is “the text of culture” which broadcasts meanings outside literature to the other kinds of arts. An artist, who perceives and conceives it, may find himself or herself in the milieu of different time and space. However, his or her vision and perception of Chekhov’s personality and works enrich both his/her own world of arts, the world of arts in general, and the understanding of Chekhov’s oeuvre and legacy. Artists of the Don and Azov Region, who come from the same part of the country as the great writer, react to the writer’s destiny and works in much more vivid way, creating some kind of the “Chekhovian text” in the fine arts of the region. Originality of artistic searches, specific features of artists’ manner and style, profoundly expressed focus of their creative efforts on Chekhov’s works and life, and allusions to writer’s works condition the selection of samples of the fine arts Chekhoviana in the Don and Sea of Azov Region. A sculptural portrait of A.P. Chekhov by S.N. Oleshnya illustrates the perception of the writer by his contemporaries: a combination of cheerfulness, love for life, humour, and sadness. A work by V.A. Kozin entitled Chekhov is a sample of Vector graphic art and depicts the writer as a “common man”, stressing the idea by a slightly changed Chekhov’s phrase given at the bottom of the sheet. A sculptural portrait of A.P. Chekhov by A.A. Sknarin, a sculptor, and Yu.D. Dvornikov, an architect, depicts Anton Pavlovich both as a genius writer and a great public figure and enlightener, who enlarged and enriched the stocks of a city public library in Taganrog with a great number of books. At the same time, the monument turned out to be harmoniously “inside” the Pushkin plot of Rostov-on-Don. The Monument to A.P. Chekhov “The Cherry Orchard” by D.V. Lyndin in Taganrog is a sample of site-specific and environmental art – the genre urban sculpture. A stage set study for the Chekhov’s play The Cherry Orchard by A.A. Mytnikov and a study-scale landscape by M.P. Volodina entitled The Cherry Orchard differently, but, at the same time, in Chekhov’s way convey the sense of the play. The fine arts Chekhoviana of the region is an independent and original phenomenon.

Authors: Bolek Cezary , Bolek Monika
Published: June 2022

The purpose of the article/hypothesis: The goal of this paper is to show differences between markets’ reactions to a number of Covid-19 new cases. Stock exchanges and their indices from Turkey, the USA and Poland are analyzed during the first year of the global pandemic. The hypothesis that there are significant differences between markets regarding the reaction to new Covid-19 cases is tested in this research paper.

Methodology: BIST100 Index representing the Istanbul Stock Exchange in Turkey, NASDAQ Composite representing NASDAQ Exchange in the USA and WIG Index representing the Warsaw Stock Exchange in Poland are analyzed in relation to Covid-19 new cases. The correlation analysis with delays of markets’ reactions and panel data OLS regression models are tested with rates of return as dependent variables.

Results of the research: The findings show the immediate negative influence of new cases rates of change on the stock indices rates of return, although there are some differences and similarities between correlation coefficients, especially when the delays in reactions are taken into consideration. The Turkish exchange was reacting immediately to the rates of change of new Covid-19 cases, the US exchange needed more time to adjust, while in Poland the correction was detected after investors’ over-reaction in the first two weeks. The significant difference between the Polish and US markets regarding the correlation is confirmed indicating that the reactions on the global market were not identical. What the findings add to the literature is the evidence of differences and similarities between markets representing different religions, continents, and cultures.

Greengram is one of the most important pulse crop grown by the farmers of Udalguri district of Assam in rice fallows as well as in upland areas. However, most of the land remains unutilized as fallow after harvest of Kharif rice. So, greengram was demonstrated by KVK Udalguri, Lalpool using scientific cultivation practices. Fertilizer was applied as NPK@ 10-35-15 kg/ha; Compost @ 1 t/ha. Seed was treated with rhizobium culture @50 g/kg seed. The result revealed that the demonstration resulted in higher production of greengram with a grain yield of 7.8 q/ha with net income of Rs 15,400.00/ha as compared to production of grain yield of 6.0 q/ha with a net income of Rs 7,900.00/ha in farmers practice (control). The increase in yield was 30% over the farmers practice. The B:C ratio was also high in demonstration (1.65) over farmers practice (1.36).

STEM education is currently one of the most updated topics in line with 21st century learning. Technology-based education is integrated in science, engineering and mathematics. Analysis is needed to see the development of educational activities, especially in the field of STEM education. However, according to TIMSS and PISA, there is still a lack of human resources who master the STEM field. Efforts to advance the development of STEM education are carried out using analysis through the distribution of assessments. In this case the analysis includes two aspects, namely the level of knowledge and the application of the STEM method. The comparison of the two aspects is based on the accumulative data of lecturers' assessments. This study aims to analyze the level of knowledge and the application of the STEM method used as an effort to develop STEM education. This type of research is mixed research. Research that applies two combinations of qualitative and quantitative research. Quantitative research to determine the value of the analysis between variables. Qualitative research to strengthen quantitative results. The results of this study that knowledge about STEM in the high category is 80% while the application of the STEM method is in the low category with a percentage of 25%. The application of the STEM method is hampered by the lack of STEM education methods owned by lecturers.

The reward is a form of appreciation from the student pursuer to provide an inner emotional connection. The reward is a strategy in learning that functions as a stimulus and response to students in learning English effectively. The type of reward given to students varies greatly depending on the needs of students in learning, ranging from praise, grades, and nonverbal. All the variations of rewards in learning have a common goal of increasing student motivation in learning. This study aims to determine students' perceptions of reward strategies to increase motivation to learn English in junior high school. The respondents in this study were class VIII-A students at MTsN 8 Kediri for the 2021/2022 academic year. The number of respondents was 33 students in the bilingual class. Meanwhile, the research method used is a qualitative case study using questionnaires and interviews to obtain accurate data. This study shows that students give positive perceptions about learning to use rewards in increasing learning motivation. There are four kinds of rewards often used in learning English at MTsN 8 Kediri.

Published: June 2022

Background:The purpose of this study was to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ) in undergraduate nursing students.Method:An exploratory factor analysis was conducted to assess the reliability and construct validity of the MSLQ, using principal axis factoring (PAF) and varimax rotation on the 81-items.Results:300 Students completed the MSLQ. The MSLQ with 81-items produced an 8-factor solution, eigenvalues greater than 1.0, with only three of the original MSLQ factors retained. Cronbach alpha ranged from .69 to .89; parallel analysis results ranged from 2.22 to 1.80 across the factors.Conclusion:The difference in the empiric fit between the data and the theoretical model suggests the need for instrument revisions, at least for this learner population.
Problematyka przedawnienia roszczeń w zakresie umów kredytów frankowych. Część 2
Authors: Makowski Bartłomiej
Published: June 2022

Początek XXI wieku to czas masowego udzielania przez banki kredytów denominowanych lub indeksowanych do franka szwajcarskiego. Kredytobiorcy, zapewniani o bezpieczeństwie i korzyściach, jakie niosą z sobą „kredyty frankowe”, podpisywali umowy zawierające liczne wady prawne, w tym niedozwolone postanowienia umowne (klauzule abuzywne). Aktualnie problemy takich umów kredytowych, jak abuzywność klauzul przeliczeniowych, niedopełnianie przez banki obowiązków informacyjnych wobec klienta przy zawieraniu umów oraz inne naruszenia przepisów prawa bankowego i cywilnego, mocno zajmują sądy krajów członkowskich UE, w tym sądy polskie, oraz TSUE. Kwestią dyskusyjną jest jednak przede wszystkim fakt uznawania tego rodzaju umów za nieważne w całości oraz związana z tym konieczność dokonania rozliczenia stron z tytułu coraz częstszego orzekania przez sądy nieważności tego rodzaju umów.

Rozważania zawarte w niniejszym artykule skupiają się na niezwykle istotnej na tle wskazanych sporów o nieważność umów kredytowych problematyce przedawnienia roszczeń kredytobiorców, którzy pozywając banki, żądają zwrotu uiszczonych przez nich na rzecz banków nienależnych ich zdaniem świadczeń od samego momentu zawarcia umowy. Wnikliwej analizie poddane zostało orzecznictwo sądów polskich oraz TSUE, którego wyroki wskazują, że bieg terminu przedawnienia może rozpocząć się dopiero z chwilą nabycia przez kredytobiorcę świadomości, iż zawarta przez niego umowa jest wadliwa, dzięki czemu możliwe staje się skuteczne wytoczenie powództwa.
Efekt zarażania się rynków kryptowalut
Authors: Hyjek Justyna
Published: June 2022

Celem artykułu jest ocena powiązań wybranych rynków kryptowalut i rozpoznanie efektu zarażania się rynków. W badaniu wykorzystano test ADF, zgodnie z którym określono stopień integracji badanych procesów oraz dokonano estymacji MNW parametrów modelu korekty błędem do oceny zależności o charakterze długookresowym z krótkookresowymi stanami nierównowagi. Wyniki przeprowadzonych badań wskazują, że tylko niektóre z kryptowalut są skointegrowane i opisuje je model z mechanizmem korekty błędem, czyli charakteryzuje je relacja długookresowa z mechanizmem dochodzenia do stanu równowagi, co oznacza ich wspólne „błądzenie”, które można potraktować jako efekt zarażania się rynków. W przypadku pozostałych kryptowalut kointegracja nie została potwierdzona co oznacza, że o efekcie zarażania nie można w takim przypadku mówić. Wyniki artykułu mogą stanowić pomoc przy wyborze strategii inwestycyjnej w kryptowaluty dostosowanej do jej horyzontu czasowego.
Przeszkody małżeńskie jako emanacja społecznego postrzegania małżeństwa — analiza prawnoporównawcza Kodeksu Napoleona (1804 rok) oraz luizjańskich Digestów (1808 rok)
Authors: Olejnik Oskar
Published: June 2022

Analiza prawnoporównawcza przeszkód małżeńskich w dwóch pokrewnych modelach — francuskim, opartym na Kodeksie Napoleona (1804 rok), i luizjańskim, opartym na Digestach (1808 rok) — pozwala na wyodrębnienie trzech cech ówczesnych społeczeństw żyjących w jednej lub drugiej jurysdykcji. Autor opiera się na założeniu, że tekst prawny jest emanacją poglądów społecznych. Po pierwsze, oba społeczeństwa były przywiązane do zasad prawa rzymskiego i tradycji chrześcijańskiej. Po drugie, społeczeństwo francuskie uważało, że rodzina, a zwłaszcza ojciec, jest decydentem w kwestii małżeństwa, w przeciwieństwie do społeczeństwa luizjańskiego, które nie wiązało żadnych poważnych konsekwencji z brakiem zgody rodziców na zawarcie małżeństwa. Po trzecie, w Luizjanie instytucja przeszkód małżeńskich służyła zachowaniu jednorodnego kulturowo składu kreolskiej elity, podczas gdy we Francji napoleońskiej analogiczny problem nie istniał.
