Polarity of the Regional Space – the Dilemma of Shaping the Investment Attractiveness of Poland
Authors: Godlewska-Majkowska Hanna
Published: November 2019

This study aims to show how the polarisation of the economic space can modify the investment attractiveness of the regional space. A thesis has been put forward that the polarisation of the economic space affects the investment attractiveness of the regional space by strengthening the polarising power of the regions with the highest investment attractiveness. This study uses the results of the parameterisation of investment attractiveness of Polish regions for 2015 by gmina; it also identifies growth poles in four five-year time periods: 2008–2012, 2009–2013, 2010–2014, and 2011–2015. The study shows that the permanent growth poles are created at a distance of several dozen kilometres from large cities. It indicates the depletion of development reserves of large and medium-sized cities, especially those with extensive space management. Smaller centres are gaining location attractiveness, especially those located in the vicinity of communication routes, where access to investment areas and lower costs of running a business attract investors. Special economic zones are also located in such places. The poles and their clusters usually form large agglomerations and industrial centres in the development phase. They are usually places with high investment attractiveness, adjusted by management decisions of large enterprises, local government units and the state government. The polarisation of the economic space affects the increase of the investment attractiveness of the regions, strengthening the succession of economic production and service functions in special economic zones. Investments in road infrastructure and revitalisation processes supported by special economic zones are essential.
Niewładcze formy działania administracji – potrzeba redefinicji?
Authors: Jaworski Bartłomiej
Published: November 2019

The social expectations regarding satisfaction of collective needs, while accounting for individual ones, change, and so do the functions of public administration. Due to the strong connection between public administration tasks and the legal forms of actions used for their implementation, the objective of science of administrative law is to constantly look for new concepts and tools that would enable a proper scientific description and a systematic approach to legal forms of administrative actions. At present, none of the divisions presented in the literature is exhaustive and none can be considered to be offering a full systematization of the legal forms of actions which currently exist in administrative law. One of the most frequently accepted classifications divides the forms of action into imperative and “non-imperative” ones; this classification provides certain antinomy and dśs not conform to the public administration which is legally complex and takes many forms. The existence of imperative administrative actions is unquestionable, but the current doctrinal understanding of “non-imperative” actions needs to be analyzed in more detail. Is the administration really fully imperative or fully “non-imperative”? If we use such an alternative, do we actually deprive ourselves of the possibility of creating a catalogue of legal forms, which reflects the multiformity of contemporary administration, perceives the full spectrum of public administration dominance and diversity of forms, and which assumes a decrease in (or even elimination) of this attribute? Bearing in mind the predilection for the above-mentioned dominance, are we not forced, here and now, to affirm the possibility of full bilateralism in administrative actions?

Centrum Obsługi Administracji Rządowej: administrowanie przez gospodarowanie
Authors: Koroluk Sławomir
Published: November 2019

The Government Administration Service Center in Warsaw is the leading example of application of a legal institution – an institution of the budget economy. This entity is part of the administrative apparatus and performs public tasks. At the same time, this entity conducts business activity, which allows it to be considered an entrepreneur. The basic question discussed in the article is the mutual relationship between the two roles of the subject. The practice indicates that combining them is not a simple matter, because there is a tendency in the activity of this institution to increase the role of the entity as an entrepreneur. Consequently, it may pose a threat to the basic role which the entity is designed to perform, that is implementation of public tasks.
Wielopostaciowość administracji Unii Europejskiej
Authors: Kowalczyk Barbara
Published: November 2019

The article deals with institutional and procedural differentiation of the EU administration. The initial model of the European administration as a non-executive one has changed over time due to a number of factors. It is indicated that the European administration has developed in several phases and each stage added a distinctive layer to the existing reality. It is not easy today to create a complete and plain picture of the administration in the EU, nor coordination and communication. Diversity and pluralism are considered to be valuable features of the EU governance. Pointing to trends of development, it seems that the EU will continue to focus mainly on processes and procedures that connect the various elements of this structure.
Aspekty dobra wspólnego w aktywności administracji publicznej
Authors: Krawczyk Mariusz
Published: November 2019

The article concerns the issue of common good in the activity of public administration. It is exactly the aspects of this “good” which have a direct influence on the motives behind administrative actions. It turns out that what is “common” can be understood as pertaining to entire society, but also in relation to individual interests. The public administration, although traditionally connected only to the public interest, also implements the good of the individual and this not only indirectly, as it has been noted in the literature of the subject so far, but also independently. Because the common good has its different aspects in the sense that it does not have to mean only values of a strictly general dimension. This may be significant for the definitional purpose to the very administration itself and testifies, at the same time, to the multidimensional nature of contemporary public administration. The considerations are developed with reference to potential relations of public interest and the individual one, in which the most important place is occupied by conflict of these interests.
Rozważania na temat podmiotów systemu oświaty
Authors: Kurzyna-Chmiel Danuta
Published: November 2019

The legislator considers the term “educational system” as one of the basic education laws. The legal term (included in the Education Law Act) “the educational system covers” lists its elements. They include, for example, various types of schools, kindergartens, alternative forms of preschool education, children’s holiday homes, centers of education. This system realizes recognized values, principles, as well as certain postulates and guidelines contained in the law. In essence, it is a collection of organizational units, whose activity is regulated by the Education Law Act. The majority of these activities are addressed to pupils. Some elements are also addressed to teachers and serve to develop them. Colleges of Social Service Workers do not fit in with the rest of the educational system.

The subjective context and dimension of administrative law objectively generate a diverse and rich catalogue of causes and manifestations of its multifaceted nature. In this respect, further diversity can be observed, namely that of conditionings and consequences, its crucial aspect being the distinction into administering bodies and subjects of administration. The analysis of the multiform nature of legal-administrative entities can yield particularly interesting results when the participants of administration change their roles (including the role changes which, from the perspective of the distinction between administering bodies and subjects of administration – run across borders). The analysis confirms the importance of taking care of the systemic approach and unification of the doctrinal and normative approach to the question of the multifaceted character of legal-administrative entities.
Organizowanie i świadczenie usług publicznych jako funkcja administracji publicznej
Authors: Miruć Alina
Published: November 2019

The purpose of the article was to present the role and specifics of a significant function of administration, consisting in the organization and provision of public services. Therefore, an analysis was made regarding, among other things, the legitimacy of the administration to perform public tasks, using the example of the administering administration, contemporary understanding of the function of public administration and the shape of contemporary Polish public administration. The role of administration evolved from the direct provision of public (social) services through its own institutions towards direct organization of the provision of services, to limiting its role in organization and responsibility for the standard of services provided by non-public entities. The administering administration is the area of administration that is subject to ever more intense privatization processes. The forms of the administration’s operation, means, as well as entities acting within the framework of this function, have also changed. Such a system improves provision of the services. The ability to adapt public administration to challenges and expectations of modern society in connection with organizing and providing public services, becomes truly important. The administration that is responsible for organizing and providing public services should be conciliatory – it should support the development of the individual, protect them and not limit itself to the administrative and controlling role only. The role of the administration must be modified and the civic sector is a complement to its activities.

Czy kar jest za dużo? Wokół Douglasa Husaka koncepcji kryminalizacji
Authors: Peno Michał
Published: November 2019

The author endeavours to make a critical reflection on the concept of criminalization as formulated by Douglas Husak. D. Husak’s views on criminal policy are presented in a wider philosophical context and juxtaposed with assumptions of basic critical trends in criminal law science. Also, some suggestions are formulated to supplement Husak’s concept, who points out, above all, when punishment should not be applied. A supplement to Husak’s idea is a somewhat perverse attempt to collect model situations, in which recognition of an act as a crime can be justified (which the author himself tried to avoid). In addition, the article attempts to combine the philosophy of law with criminal policy and indicates the need to take into consideration philosophical foundations of criminal law policy.

Posiadanie w prawie karnym i cywilnym – czy dzierżyciel i prekarzysta może być pokrzywdzonym przestępstwem kradzieży?
Authors: Tyburcy Tomasz
Published: November 2019

The structure of ownership in civil law consists of two elements. The first is the element of physical wielding (corpus possesionis), and the second is a psychological (subjective) element; constituted by a presumption in favour of possession – one is always presumed to possess in his own interest (animus rem sibi habendi). Legal possession is the detention (control) or enjoyment of property or right that we hold or exercise by ourselves. Having control over property for someone else is defined in civil law as holding (Art. 338 of the Civil Code), which concerns the realization of a certain task. Possession as a factual status is protected by Art. 278 § 1 K. K. and should be interpreted more broadly than within the civil law definition. It constitutes an actual control over a movable property, which can also be exercised by a holder acting on his own behalf (commissionaire), who is not the possessor within the definition of the civil law. In contrast, it appears that a holder not acting on his own behalf (employee) is not protected by Art. 278 § 1 K. K. It seems erroneous that the protection of unlawful possession in Art. 278 § 1 K. K. depends on the good faith of the holder. Another questionable issue is granting protection for the permissive occupant in Art. 278 § 1 K. K. There is very little attention devoted to this problem both in the case-law as well as literature. It seems that permissive occupant does not attain the control over property, because his actual relationship to it is not an expression of the will of detentor, and therefore he cannot be a victim of theft.

Published: November 2019

The following aspects related to the care of visually impaired children were surveyed in a Low-Vision Stimulation Service in order to contribute to the improvement of the services it offers: age of the child at the first ophthalmologic consultation; person responsible for identifying the problem; knowledge of mothers concerning the vision problem of their child; and, age of the child at the beginning of stimulation. Twentyfive mothers of visually impaired children with ages varying from birth to 4 years were interviewed. In a general way, the problem had been identified before the children were 6 months old; however, only 50.0% of them had been attended to up to this age. In the great majority of the cases it was the mother who first perceived the vision problem of her child (48.0%), followed by other members of the family (28.0%) and, physicians (24.0%). Although the mothers disclosed some knowledge on the technical terminology concerning vision problems, they used it incorrectly. The Authors suggest that ophthalmologists should play a more active part in the early referral of visually impaired children to vision stimulation services.

Fullerenes and PAHs: A Novel Model Explains their Formation via Sequential Cycloaddition Reactions Involving C2 Dimers
Authors: Smadja Sylvain
Published: November 2019

Based on a new understanding of the nature of the bonding in the C2 dimer, a novel bottom-up model is offered that can explain the growth processes of fullerenes and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). It is shown how growth sequences involving C2 dimers, that take place in carbon vapor, combustion systems, and the ISM, could give rise to a variety of bare carbon clusters. Among the bare carbon clusters thus formed, some could lead to fullerenes, while others, after hydrogenation, could lead to PAHs. We propose that the formation of hexagonal rings present in these bare carbon clusters are the result of [2+2+2] and [4+2] cycloaddition reactions that involve C2 dimers. In the C60 and C70 fullerenes, each of the twelve pentagons is surrounded by five hexagons and thereby “isolated” from each other. To explain why, we suggest that in bowl-shaped clusters the pentagons can form as the consequence of closures of “cove regions” that exist between hexagonal rings, and that they can also form during cage-closure, which results in the creation of six “isolated” pentagonal rings, and five hexagonal rings. The proposed growth mechanisms can account for the formation of fullerene isomers without the need to invoke the widely used Stone-Wales rearrangement. Considering processes that take place in combustion systems, it is proposed that soot particle inception can result from oligomerization of the bare carbon clusters that originated from cycloadditions involving C2 dimers. In future work, the insights offered in this article could provide a better understanding of nanotube growth, with or without defects.
Direct Read and Quantify Damage Nucleotide from an Oligonucleotide Using a Single Molecule Interface
Authors: Wang Jiajun , Li Meng-Yin , Yang Jie , Wang Ya-Qian , Wu Xue-Yuan , Huang Jin , Ying Yi-Lun , Long Yi-Tao
Published: November 2019

DNA lesion such as metholcytosine(mC), 8-OXO-guanine(OG), inosine(I) etc could cause the genetic diseases. Identification of the varieties of lesion bases are usually beyond the capability of conventional DNA sequencing which is mainly designed to discriminate four bases only. Therefore, lesion detection remain challenge due to the massive varieties and less distinguishable readouts for minor structural variations. Moreover, standard amplification and labelling hardly works in DNA lesions detection. Herein, we designed a single molecule interface from the mutant K238Q Aerolysin, whose confined sensing region shows the high compatible to capture and then directly convert each base lesion into distinguishable current readouts. Compared with previous single molecule sensing interface, the resolution of the K238Q Aerolysin nanopore is enhanced by 2-order. The novel K238Q could direct discriminate at least 3 types (mC, OG, I) lesions without lableing and quantify modification sites under mixed hetero-composition condition of oligonucleotide. Such nanopore could be further applied to diagnose genetic diseases at high sensitivity.

Spatially Resolving Anharmonic Lattice Dynamics in Molecular Crystals With X-Ray Diffraction and Terahertz Spectroscopy
Authors: Hutereau Martin , Banks Peter , Slater Ben , Zeitler J. Axel , Bond Andrew , Ruggiero Michael
Published: November 2019

The combination of X-ray diffraction and low-frequency vibrational spectroscopy has proven to be a powerful method for understanding the relationship between molecular and crystalline structures, dynamics, and the properties of materials. In this work, we show how information obtained from terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) measurements, coupled with first-principles simulations including anharmonic effects, is able to reconcile specific vibrational motions to the experimentally observed large- amplitude thermal displacements in a pair of isomeric molecular crystals. In particular, we show that a single terahertz mode is responsible for the observed structural data, and provide a framework for predicting and interpreting the origins of related phenomena.
Rotaxanes with Dynamic Mechanical Chirality: Systematic Studies on Synthesis, Optical Resolution, Racemization, and Chiral-Prochiral Interconversion
Authors: Ishiwari Fumitaka , Takata Toshikazu
Published: November 2019

Dynamic mechanical chirality of [2]rotaxane consisting of a Cs symmetric wheel and a C2v symmetric axle is discussed via the synthesis, optical resolution, racemization, and chiral-prochiral interconversion. This [2]rotaxane is achiral and/or prochiral when its wheel locates at the center of the axle, but becomes chiral when the wheel moves from the center of the axle. These were proved by the experiments on the optical resolution and racemization. The racemization energy of the optically resolved enantiomers was controlled by the bulkiness of the central substituents on the axle. Furthermore, the chiral-prochiral interconversion was achieved by relative positional control of the com-ponents. The present systematic studies will provide new insight into mechanically chiral interlocked compounds as well as the utility as dynamic chiral sources.
Effect of Metabolic Constraints on the Observable Isotope Fractionation Associated with Aerobic Biodegradation of Hexachlorocyclohexanes

Biodegradation of the highly persistent hexachlorocyclohexanes is difficult to assess in contaminated soils and sediments because this process occurs only slowly over timescales of years to decades. Recent instrumental advances for compound-specific isotope analysis (CSIA) now make it possible to monitor such processes based on the isotope fractionation of multiple elements as changes of 13C/12C, 37Cl/35Cl, and 2H/1H ratios in the residual HCH contamination. However, metabolic constraints from the expression of enzymes that can compete with the primary metabolic reactions leading to HCH biodegradation and thus alter the observable contaminant isotope fractionation through co metabolic side reactions have largely been overlooked. Here, we developed activity-based assays to assess the competitive behaviour of mixtures of lindane dehydrochlorinase LinA and haloalkane dehydrochlorinase LinB which catalyze the dehydrochlorination and hydrolytic dechlorination of several HCH isomers. Using X-HCH as model contaminant that can be transformed by both enzymes in mixtures of different LinA2/LinB activity, we observed preferential formation of products from hydrolytic dechlorination. This observation suggests that LinB was more reactive than predicted from the nominal enzyme activities. The C and H isotope fractionation of X-HCH in LinA2/LinB mixtures can be rationalized by a combination of isotope enrichment factors from independent dehydrochlorination and hydrolytic dechlorination reactions where LinA2 contributed more to H isotope fractionation than LinB, thus contrasting the assessment of competitive enzyme activity. Our study shows that metabolic constraints associated with the expression of multiple enzymes can potentially compromise inferences of extent and pathways of contaminant biodegradation from CSIA.

Due to the great potential expressed by an anticancer drug candidate previously reported by our group, namely Ru-sq ([Ru(DIP)2(sq)](PF6) (DIP: 4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline, sq: semiquinonate ligand), we describe in this work a structure-activity relationship (SAR) that involves a broader range of derivatives resulting from the coordination of different catecholate-like dioxoligands to the same Ru(DIP)2 core. More in detail, we chose catechols carrying either electron-donating or electronwithdrawing groups EDG or EWG and investigated the physico-chemical and biological properties of their complexes. Several pieces of experimental evidences demonstrated that the coordination of catechols bearing EDGs led to deep red positively charged complexes 1–4 in which the preferred oxidation state of the dioxoligand is the uninegatively charged semiquinonate. Complexes 5 and 6, on the other hand, are blue/violet neutral complexes which carry an EWG substituted dinegatively charged catecholate ligand. The biological investigation of complexes 1–6 led to the conclusion that the difference in their physico-chemical properties has a strong impact on their biological activity. Thus, complexes 1–4 expressed much higher cytotoxicities than complexes 5 and 6. Complex 1 constitutes the most promising compound of the series and was selected for a more in-depth biological investigation. Apart from its remarkably high cytotoxicity (IC50 = 0.07–0.7 μM in different cancerous cell lines) complex 1 was taken up by HeLa cells very efficiently by a passive transportation mechanism. Moreover, its moderate accumulation in several cellular compartments (i.e. nucleus, lysosomes, mitochondria and cytoplasm) is extremely advantageous in the search of a potential drug with multiple modes of action. Further DNA metalation and metabolic studies pointed to the direct interaction of complex 1 with DNA and to the severe impairment of the mitochondrial function. Multiple targets, together with its outstanding cytotoxicity, make complex 1 a valuable candidate in the field of chemotherapy research.

Porous organic polymers are now emerging materials of interest for various fields like gas storage and sepa-ration, optoelectric application, catalysis and also for the energy storage system. Supercapacitors are such type of system which can store energy with high specific capacitance as well as high energy density. In this context, tuning the internal porosity by changing functionality in the polymer material for targeted energy storage remains a challenge. Herein we discussed a series of truxene based novel covalent organic polymers (Me-DAB, Et-DAB, But-DAB and Pent-DAB) with a wide range of available surface area, obtained by tailoring the length of the alkane chain (methyl to n-pentyl) attached with the truxene moiety. A maximum specific capacitance for Pent-DAB of 634 F g-1 was observed at 1 A g-1 with 91% ca-pacitance retention after 3000 charge-discharge cycles. The observed change in specific capacitance along the series is due to the change in surface area of the polymers. A high specific capacitance for the Pent-DAB was observed due to the de-localization of large number of electrolytes throughout the highly accessible surface area.
Chemically Interpretable Graph Interaction Network for Prediction of Pharmacokinetic Properties of Drug-like Molecules

Solubility of drug molecules is related to pharmacokinetic properties such as absorption and distribution, which affects the amount of drug that is available in the body for its action. Computational or experimental evaluation of solvation free energies of drug-like molecules/solute that quantify solubilities is an arduous task and hence development of reliable computationally tractable models is sought after in drug discovery tasks in pharmaceutical industry. Here, we report a novel method based on graph neural network to predict solvation free energies. Previous studies considered only the solute for solvation free energy prediction and ignored the nature of the solvent, limiting their practical applicability. The proposed model is an end-to-end framework comprising three phases namely, message passing, interaction and prediction phases. In the first phase, message passing neural network was used to compute inter-atomic interaction within both solute and solvent molecules represented as molecular graphs. In the interaction phase, features from the preceding step is used to calculate a solute-solvent interaction map, since the solvation free energy depends on how (un)favorable the solute and solvent molecules interact with each other. The calculated interaction map that captures the solute-solvent interactions along with the features from the message passing phase is used to predict the solvation free energies in the final phase. The model predicts solvation free energies involving a large number of solvents within the limits of chemical accuracy. We also show that the interaction map captures the electronic and steric factors that govern the solubility of drug-like molecules and hence is chemically interpretable.
Exchange-Correlation Energy Densities and Response Potentials: Connection Between Two Definitions and Analytical Model for the Strong-Coupling Limit of a Stretched Bond
Authors: Giarrusso S. , Gori-Giorgi Paola
Published: November 2019

We analyze in depth two widely used definitions (from the theory of conditional probablity amplitudes and from the adiabatic connection formalism) of the exchange-correlation energy density and of the response potential of Kohn-Sham density functional theory. We introduce a local form of the coupling-constant-dependent Hohenberg-Kohn functional, showing that the difference between the two definitions is due to a corresponding local first-order term in the coupling constant, which disappears globally (when integrated over all space), but not locally. We also design an analytic representation for the response potential in the strong-coupling limit of density functional theory for a model single stretched bond.

Published: November 2019

The construction of diverse sp3-rich skeletal ring systems is of importance to drug discovery programmes and natural product synthesis. Herein, we report the photocatalytic construction of 2,7-diazabicyclo[3.2.1]octanes (bridged 1,3-diazepanes) via a reductive diversion of the Minisci reaction. The fused tricyclic product is proposed to form via radical addition to the C4 position of 4-substituted quinoline substrates, with subsequent Hantzsch ester-promoted reduction to a dihydropyridine intermediate which undergoes in situ two-electron ring closure to form the bridged diazepane architecture. A wide scope of N-arylimine and quinoline derivatives was demonstrated and good efficiency was observed in the construction of sterically congested all-carbon quaternary centers. Computational and experimental mechanistic studies provide insights into the reaction mechanism and observed regioselectivity/diastereoselectivity.
