Abuse of Procedural Rights as a Basis for Liability in Civil Proceedings
Authors: Baganova Svetlana , Kopylova Ksenia
Published: March 2024

The article discusses the concept of "abuse of procedural law", as well as the issues of applying liability measures for unfair behavior. The need that has arisen in practice to prevent abuses on the part of participants in civil proceedings in the exercise of their procedural rights and obligations, due to the necessity to ensure proper implementation of norms of procedural legislation justice in civil cases by courts of general jurisdiction, determines the relevance of this research. It is aimed at drawing conclusions to improve the measures of responsibility for abuse of procedural rights in the framework of the right to judicial protection. In order to achieve this goal, an analysis of the civil procedural legislation of the Russian Federation was carried out, as well as the foreign experience of a number of countries on the application of liability measures for abuse of procedural rights by participants in the judicial process was considered.

Authors: Bubnov Vyacheslav
Published: March 2024

The financial and economic activity of Russian private households as a result of the sanctions policy of unfriendly countries underwent significant changes, including a decrease in the level of financial security. It has a negative impact on the financial, credit and budgetary and tax spheres of the domestic economy. The use of new financial technologies and in particular the digital ruble can correct the current negative situation. Having certain signs of cryptocurrency, the digital ruble is able to ensure the financial security of payments and meet modern financial challenges. Changing the functions of money poses serious scientific questions about the use of the digital ruble. The problems of its introduction into the economic process and the peculiarities of its use by private households are considered. The differences between the digital ruble and existing cryptocurrencies, as well as its advantages over the latter have been formed. The impact forecast of new financial technology on private households in the context of financial security has been made.
The Concept of Social Justice in Mine-Host Community Involvement and Benefit Accrual: Reflections from Mineral Extraction in Zimbabwe
Authors: Chagadama Stanford , Viljoen Germarié
Published: March 2024

Minerals play a vital role in societal and economic growth. As finite and non-renewable resources, minerals inevitably diminish upon extraction. Consequently, there is an expectation that the extraction process should involve and benefit the local communities hosting these resources. Despite expectations of benefitting local communities, mineral extraction often results in more economic, social, and environmental burdens than advantages for them. This contribution is centred on a theoretical inquiry, employing the concept of social justice to explore and mitigate the disparities in the distribution of costs and benefits experienced by mine-host communities. It aims to balance the inequities, emphasising the principles of distributive, procedural and remedial justice to reconcile the losses and gains in a fair and equitable manner

Introduction. In manufacturing, obtaining a specified surface roughness of the machined components is of great importance to fulfill functional requirements. However, this is significantly affected by the heat generated during processing, potentially causing variations in dimensional accuracy. The surface roughness significantly affects the fatigue performance of the component, while the cutting tool's lifespan is dictated by the generation of cutting temperatures. The purpose of the study is to create semi-empirical models for predicting surface roughness and temperature of different work materials. Improved cutting performance is achieved by precisely determining the cutting temperature in the zone being machined. However, calculating the cutting temperature for each specific case is fraught with difficulties in terms of labor resources and financial investments. This paper presents a comprehensive empirical formula designed to predict both theoretical temperature and surface roughness. The methodology. The surface roughness and temperature values were evaluated for EN 8, Al 380, SS 316 and SAE 8620 materials using TiAlN coated carbide tool. The TiAlN coating was formed using Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) Technique. The response surface methodology was used to prepare predictive models. Cutting speed (140 to 340 m/min), feed (0.08 to 0.24 mm/rev) and depth of cut (0.6 to 1.0 mm) was used as input parameters for measuring the performance of all material in terms of surface roughness and cutting temperature. The tool-work thermocouple principle was used to measure the temperature at the chip-tool interface. A Novel Calibration Setup was developed to establish a connection between the electromotive force (EMF) generated during machining and the cutting temperature. Results and Discussion. It is observed that the power required for machining was largely transformed into heat. The highest cutting temperature is recorded when machining of SS 316 followed by SAE 8620, EN 8. However, low temperature is reported during machining of Al 380 and it is mainly governed by the thermal conductivity of the material. The lowest surface roughness is observed in SAE 8620, EN 8 material followed by SS 316 and Al 380. Semi-empirical method and regression model equations show a good agreement with each other. Statistical analysis of nonlinear estimation reveals that the cutting speed, feed, and density of the material have a greater effect on surface roughness, whereas the depth of cut has a greater effect on temperature generation. The study will be very useful for predicting industrial productivity when machining of EN 8, Al 380, SS 316 and SAE 8620 materials with TiAlN-coated carbide tool.

Introduction. New aluminum-based powder systems are currently being developed for additive manufacturing. The scientists' work is aimed at comprehensive studies of powder production, optimization of conditions for alloy production and formation of three-dimensional specimens with minimal porosity and absence of cracking during selective laser melting. The purpose of this work is the synthesis of an almost spherical Al-Si-Mg composite powder (91 wt. % Al, 8 wt. % Si, 1 wt. % Mg) from aluminum powder PA-4 (GOST 6058-22), silicon powder (GOST 2169-69) and magnesium powder MPF-4 (GOST 6001-79), which were not originally intended for selective laser melting technology. The work also provides for the optimization of selective laser melting modes to obtain an alloy and form three-dimensional specimens with minimal porosity and no cracking. To create a powder composition, powders ranging in size from 20 to 64 μm were selected by sieve analysis and subjected to mechanical mixing in a ball mill in a protective argon medium for one hour. The research methods are methods of X-ray diffraction and X-ray phase analysis, transmission electron microscopy, mechanical tests of microhardness. Studies of the powder composition after mechanical mixing showed that the mixed powder of aluminum, silicon and magnesium is a conglomerate of particles of spherical, oval and irregular shape. Results and discussions. The optimal modes for obtaining a specimen with a minimum porosity of 0.03 % and a microhardness of 1,291 MPa are selective laser melting modes: P = 90 W, V = 225 mm/s, S = 0.08 mm, h = 0.025 mm. The conducted research shows the possibility of synthesizing products from metal powders that are not adapted to processing by selective laser melting and obtaining an alloy with new mechanical properties during laser action.

Introduction. High-magnesium aluminum alloys are widely used in the automotive, building and aerospace industries due to its low specific gravity and high strength. The characteristics of such alloys can be improved by small additions of scandium and zirconium. However, scandium is very expensive, so in new generation alloys its amount is tended to be reduced. In the recently developed 1590 aluminum alloy, this was achieved by addition of erbium and hafnium. The objective of the paper is to study the effect of erbium and hafnium concentrations on the modification of the cast structure in 1590 aluminum alloy at high solidification rates. Research Methods. The paper investigates the microstructure, chemical composition and size of intermetallic compounds in specimens from ten alloy 1590 modifications with different hafnium and erbium contents cast into a copper chill mold with a solidification rate of 10 °C/sec. The grain structure was studied using an optical microscope. The chemical composition and size of the intermetallic phases were studied using a Tescan Vega 3 scanning electron microscope. Results and discussion. It is established that as the amount of hafnium and erbium increases, the cast structure is modified. In general, grain refinement with the addition of hafnium and erbium can be explained by a higher degree of supercooling between the solid and liquid phases. At a hafnium content of 0.16 %, the dendritic structure begins to transform into an equiaxed grain structure. This transformation can be explained by the appearance of primary intermetallic compounds of the Al3Sc type in the liquid phase. Such intermetallic compounds are identified at a concentration of erbium and hafnium equal to 0.16 %. Moreover, in all alloys eutectic intermetallic compounds are identified that contained manganese and iron and had no effect on the cast structure. Comparison with previously obtained results on the grain size of specimens cast into a steel mold shows that with higher solidification rate, the structure modification in 1590 alloy is getting less efficient. This is explained by an increase in the concentration of transition elements in the solid solution, primarily scandium, necessary for the formation of primary intermetallic particles.

INTRODUCTION: Low back pain (LBP) is highly prevalent and is one of the main causes of disability in Brazil and around the world. LBP presents a multifactorial etiology, being extremely common in workers. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to verify the knowledge about the LBP risk factors, beliefs and attitudes about the management of LBP among health professionals (physiotherapists and ergonomists) working in the occupational area. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted with 81 Brazilian occupational health professionals. Participants completed an electronic questionnaire comprising professional data, sociodemographics, items about LBP risk factors, and the Brazilian version of the Pain Attitudes and Beliefs Scale for Physiotherapists. Knowledge, beliefs and attitudes were analyzed using the chi-square test for LBP risk factors and the linear regression model for health professionals' beliefs and attitudes. RESULTS: Obesity (7.4%), sitting for more than 2 hours (8.6%), physical activity (9.9%), lack of psychosocial support at work (11.1%) and consuming alcohol (37.0%) presented the lowest rate of knowledge about LBP risk factors by professionals. Items about general health showed the lowest knowledge. A balanced biomedical and psychosocial orientation of beliefs and attitudes about managing LBP was observed. CONCLUSION: Brazilian occupational health professionals lack knowledge about non-occupational LBP risk factors, especially general health status. These professionals also have balanced biomedical and psychosocial concepts in managing LBP.

Increasing evidence suggests that body composition is associated with the development of acute pancreatitis (AP). This study aimed to investigate the applicability of body composition in predicting AP severity. Data of 213 patients with AP from Affiliated Hospital of Putian University (AHOPTU) were included in this study, whilst data of 173 patients with AP from Fujian Medical University Union Hospital (FMUUH) were used for external validation. Patients were classified into the non-severe and severe groups according to AP severity. After seven days of treatment, in patients from AHOPTU, the difference in skeletal muscle index before and after treatment (ΔSMI) was significantly higher (P = 0.002), while the skeletal muscle radiodensity before treatment (PreSMR) was significantly lower (P = 0.042) in the non-severe group than in the severe group. The multivariate logistic regression model also revealed that the ΔSMI and PreSMR were independent risk factors for AP severity. The optimal cut-off values of ΔSMI and PreSMR were 1.0 and 43.7, respectively. The following metabolic score (SMS) was established to predict AP severity: 0: ΔSMI < 1.0 and PreSMR < 43.7; 1: ΔSMI ≥ 1.0 and PreSMR < 43.7 or ΔSMI < 1.0 and PreSMR ≥ 43.7; 3: ΔSMI ≥ 1.0 and PreSMR ≥ 43.7. In patients from AHOPTU and FMUUH, the areas under the curves (AUC) for this model were 0.764 and 0.741, respectively. ΔSMI and PreSMR can accurately predict AP severity. It is recommended to routinely evaluate the statuses of patients with AP using the predictive model presented in this study for individualized treatment.

Comparative study of problem solving skill development features in Japanese and Indonesian high school physics textbooks
Authors: Anshari Hafiz , Kato Tetsuya
Published: March 2024

Despite both Japan and Indonesia incorporating critical thinking skill development into their educational curricula, Japanese students exhibit higher problem-solving abilities. To investigate the role of physics textbooks in nurturing problem-solving skills, a comparative and content analysis method was employed, focusing on two textbooks: The Basic Physics High School Textbook for Science by Sukenshuppan (JP-SKN) and Fisika 1 untuk Jurusan IPA by Tiga Serangkai (ID-TS). Foshay's teaching principles for problem-solving skills served as the analytical framework, consisting of 12 key points to identify problem-solving teaching features within the textbooks. Explicitly stated sub-chapters and consistently recurring implicit elements within each chapter were recognized as book features. The analysis revealed that JP-SKN encompasses a greater variety of problem-solving skill development features compared to ID-TS. While the quality of these features may differ, JP-SKN contains 16 book features aligned with problem-solving teaching principles, surpassing the 12 found in ID-TS. JP-SKN employs diverse approaches to foster problem-solving skills, including case studies, graphs, tables, illustrations, and interactive digital content. Its "Thinking Learning" feature (思考学習) encapsulates numerous problem-solving principles, providing instructions, structured problems, and encouraging the formulation of mental models for problem resolution. Conversely, ID-TS incorporates additional elements beyond problem-solving, such as promoting teamwork, scientific attitude, and offering numerous practice questions. These findings offer valuable insights and references for the development of learning resources that aim to promote critical thinking skills within Indonesia's new curriculum. Furthermore, they serve as a starting point for future research to explore how both countries interpret their respective curriculum mandates when designing representative textbooks, particularly concerning high school Physics subjects.

Impact of Segmentation and Popularity-based Cache Replacement Policies on Named Data Networking
Authors: Negara Ridha Muldina , Wasesa Novan Purba , Muhammad Zaid , Mayasari Ratna , Astuti Sri
Published: March 2024

The data distribution mechanism of internet protocol (IP) technology is inefficient because it necessitates the user to await a response from the server.  Named data networking (NDN) is a cutting-edge technology being assessed for enhancing IP networks, primarily because it incorporates a data packet caching technique on every router. However, the effectiveness of this approach is highly dependent on the router's content capacity, thus requiring the use data replacement mechanism when the router capacity is full.  The least recently used (LRU) method is employed for cache replacement policy; yet, it is considered ineffective as it neglects the content's popularity. The LRU algorithm replaces the infrequently requested data, leading to inefficient caching of popular data when multiple users constantly request it.  To address this problem, we propose a segmented LRU (SLRU) replacement strategy that considers content popularity. The SLRU will evaluate both popular content and content that has previously been popular in two segment categories, namely the probationary and protected segments.  Icarus simulator was used to evaluate multiple comprehensive scenarios.  Our experimental results show that the SLRU obtains a better cache hit ratio (CHR) and able to minimize latency and link load compared to existing cache replacement policies such as First In, First Out (FIFO), LRU, and Climb.

Published: March 2024

This study aims to build a device as a security system to detect anomalies of children moving in play areas based on the Multiple Line Detection (MLD) method in a streaming image. We developed this device to help parents monitor their children's activities when playing in dangerous areas of the home to protect children from kidnapping. In this study, the MLD method can detect the children's activities when playing in three zones: the safe zone with green lines in the image, the caution zone with yellow lines, and the danger zone with red lines. The hardware used to build the devices in this study consists of three components: a camera to stream the image activities of children, a Raspberry Pi to process the image using OpenCV, and a buzzer for early security systems. The results of this study show that when the device detected the children playing in the safe zone, the system commanded the buzzer to turn off. Furthermore, when the camera detects that the children are playing in the caution and danger zone, the device then commands the buzzer to turn on as an early warning security system for the parents.
THE IMAGE OF THE OTHER IN «METAMORPHOSES» BY APULEIUS
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine, Kuminova Kateryna
Published: March 2024

The paper considers two worlds – "ours" and "theirs" in the work of Apuleius (2rd century AD). He was a Latin-language prose writer, but had a provincial background. The main objective of article is an analysis of the image the Other in Apuleius' "Metamorphoses". The research methodology is based on the principles of imagology an interdisciplinary direction that explores the image of the the Other. Studying the representations of barbarians in ancient culture helps to understand the society that forms these stereotypes. There were several semantic traditions of usage of the term "barbarian" in ancient culture. The Greeks used the term for those who did not speak Greek and who is perceived as primitive. The results show that Apuleius used these two semantic traditions to determine "barbarian". More often the word barbarian is used in a negative sense, which is explained by the satirical genre of the novel "Metamorphoses" by Apuleius. Apuleius also uses images of exotic countries and different cults. Ethiopia and India symbolize the distant and obscure lands where the known world ends. In the Metamorphoses there are images of followers of the cult of the Syrian goddess, the one god and Isis. The first two are presented as disgusting. Isis, on the other hand, is eulogized. This is the reason why Apuleius was long considered a follower of the cult of this goddess. That all changed with the publication of Winkler's work «Auctor and Actor. A Narratological Reading of Apuleius’s The Golden Ass». This paper has clearly shown that studying the image of the barbarian has perspectives. The following articles should compare the image of the barbarian in other works of Apuleius. This will also help to better understand Apuleius' identity.

Bu araştırma ortaöğretim kurumlarında çalışan İngilizce öğretmenlerinin 2018 yılından beri uygulanmakta olan İngilizce dersi öğretim programının 9 ve 10.sınıf düzeyleri hakkındaki görüşlerini tespit etmek amacıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırma odak grup görüşmesi tekniğinin kullanıldığı nitel bir araştırmadır. Görüşmeler 5 grup halinde, 9 adet yarı yapılandırılmış sorunun yer aldığı bir görüşme formu ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırmaya Gaziantep ili merkez ilçelerinde adrese dayalı öğrenci alan ortaöğretim kurumlarında görev yapan ve 9-10.sınıf düzeylerinde derslere giren 19 gönüllü öğretmen katılmıştır. Odak grup görüşmeleri sırasında katılımcıların rızası üzerine ses kayıtları alınmış, sonrasında görüşme kayıtları yazıya aktarılmış, betimsel analiz yöntemi ile bulgulara ulaşılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda öğretmenlerin 9.sınıf öğretim programından memnun oldukları, programın 4 temel beceriyi esas aldığı, programın uygulamaya dönük olduğu, temaların öğrencilerin ilgisine yönelik olduğu, programı uygularken yalnızca etkinliklerin öğrenci seviyesine uygun olmadığı durumlarda etkinliklerde değişiklik yaptıkları - zorlaştırdıkları, programı uygularken ders kitabı, bakanlık tarafından sunulan dijital kaynaklar ve bazı mobil uygulamaları kullandıkları tespit edilmiştir. Öğretim programının 10.sınıf düzeyi konusunda ise programdan memnun olmadıkları, programın çok yoğun olduğu, 4 temel becerinin esas alındığı ancak kelime bilgisinin artırılmasına yönelik etkinliklerin çok olduğu, metinlerin ağır ve etkinliklerin uzun olduğu, bundan dolayı zaman sıkıntısı yaşandığı ve kazanımlar üzerinde öğrencilere istendiği oranda uygulama yaptıramadıkları, kazanımların tamamının sağlanamadığı, ders kitabını yetiştirmeye çalıştıkları tespit edilmiştir. Öte yandan her iki sınıf düzeyi için de öğretmen kılavuz kitabı okullara ulaşmadığı için kılavuz kitap kullanmadıkları, alternatif değerlendirme yöntemlerini ise öğrenci, veli ve okul idaresinin alışkanlıkları ve beklentilerinin farklılığından dolayı kullanamadıkları açığa çıkarılmıştır. Öğretmenlerin öğretim programı hakkında hizmet içi eğitime alınmaları, 9 ve 10.sınıf İngilizce dersi öğretim programının gözden geçirilmesi, dört temel becerinin uygulanmasını destekleyici etkileşimli içeriklerin üretilmesi ve Bakanlığın sunduğu dijital portallara eklenmesi önerilmektedir.
Los efectos de la pandemia COVID-19 en los espacios rurales: Cantabria (España) como estudio de caso / The COVID-19 pandemic effects in rural areas: Cantabria (Spain) as a case study
Authors: Delgado Viñas Carmen
Published: March 2024

El objetivo del presente trabajo de investigación es hacer una contribución geográfica a la comprensión de los efectos de la pandemia COVID-19 en diferentes contextos territoriales desde una perspectiva multiescalar. En concreto, se trata de contribuir a dar una respuesta a la pregunta ¿qué consecuencias ha tenido y podría tener en el futuro la pandemia sobre la economía y la población, sus elementos integrantes y estructuras en los espacios rurales?
Los resultados obtenidos prueban que la forma en que la COVID-19 ha afectado a los espacios rurales de Cantabria ha sido muy similar al modo en que se ha producido el impacto para el conjunto español, por lo que la mayor parte de las conclusiones obtenidas son extrapolables a otros ámbitos territoriales.
El análisis del comportamiento de la pandemia desde el punto de vista espacio-temporal pone de manifiesto la existencia de contrastes intrarregionales, que son consecuencia de los desequilibrios preexistentes entre el área central y litoral, más urbanizada, y los espacios rurales periféricos, caracterizados por una estructura del poblamiento más dispersa que se ha convertido en un elemento capaz de moderar la expansión del virus, a pesar de tratarse de las zonas con las tasas más altas de envejecimiento.
En tal sentido cabe resaltar los rasgos excepcionales de las dinámicas observadas durante el año 2020, definido por numerosas singularidades que podrían haber modificado sustancialmente, incluso adulterado, los condicionantes tradicionales de las dinámicas socioeconómicas, pero que, hasta el momento, no parecen haber tenido continuidad sino un carácter puntual.
Imaginarios, despoblación y desindustrialización. El caso de las Cuencas Mineras asturianas / Imaginaries, depopulation and deindustrialization. The case of the Asturian Mining Basins
Authors: Menéndez García Deva
Published: March 2024

Lo acuciante de la problemática de la despoblación en nuestro país ha llevado a acuñar el término de “España vaciada”. Según datos del Instituto Nacional de Estadística en su último Censo de Población y Vivienda de 2021, de los ocho municipios de más de 10.000 habitantes que más población han perdido en la última década, siete se encuentran en Asturias; un proceso de despoblación fuertemente asociado a la desindustrialización y a la inexistencia de una reconversión efectiva. El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo analizar las repercusiones que estos procesos han tenido en la población de las Cuencas Mineras asturianas, en materia de identidad y construcción de discursos e imaginarios. A través de una metodología mixta de corte cualitativo, apoyada en la realización de entrevistas semi-estructuradas, han sido analizadas las dimensiones de la identidad, los discursos y los espacios y su transformación efectiva a partir del proceso de pérdida poblacional. Los resultados obtenidos dan cuenta de la existencia de una sociedad atravesada plenamente por un fenómeno de nostalgia colectiva a distintos niveles, así como un territorio y un paisaje que se componen a través de la imagen de la ruina y el vaciado. En última instancia, se advierte una identidad construida y leída mediante referentes pasados y que, a pesar de la pérdida de referentes, parece seguir férreamente anclada al pasado industrial.
Neurological disorders associated with patent foramen ovale
Authors: Perevezentseva Polina D. , Gaynetdinova Dina D.
Published: March 2024

The foramen ovale between the right and left atria remains open in 15–25% of people over 18 years of age and in most of them it does not manifest itself clinically. At the same time, the defect is associated with a number of diseases and conditions: the development of atrial fibrillation, worsening the degree of hypoxemia in patients with pulmonary diseases, etc. There are studies devoted to the influence of a patent foramen ovale on the occurrence and course of cryptogenic stroke, migraine, syncope, dizziness, transient global amnesia, visual impairment and ocular movement disorders. However, the actual contribution of patent foramen ovale to the development of neurological disorders remains a matter of debate. The purpose of this work was to assess the significance of a patent foramen ovale in the development of neurological disorders in adults and children by analyzing literature data for the period from 2012 to 2022. In the process of studying the literature, a high prevalence of the defect was identified among patients with stroke and migraine (especially migraine with aura). At the same time, data from randomized clinical trials in patients with stroke and migraine showed selectively high effectiveness of closure of the patent foramen ovale in certain groups of patients. The association of patent foramen ovale with transient global amnesia, syncope, and dizziness has been confirmed in a limited number of studies. Cases of visual impairment and ocular movement disorders associated with the presence of a patent foramen ovale have been described. Thus, it was concluded that a patent foramen ovale is a risk factor for the development of neurological disorders only in certain groups of patients with stroke and migraine. The connection between the defect and the development of transient global amnesia, syncope, dizziness, visual impairment, as well as the development of neurological pathology in children requires further research.
The devil Is not So Black as He Is Painted (on Television). dehumanization as a Tool to discredit a Political Opponent, on the example of Donald Tusk
Authors: Mateja Magdalena
Published: March 2024

The subject of the research is the image of donald Tusk as the leader of the Civic Coalition and the informal leader of the opposition in Poland, emerging from public television broadcasts, in particular from the main edition of Wiadomości” broadcast on TVP1. The article identifies and discusses a set of means of expression and television techniques used by the program's producers to discredit a political opponent. It was assumed that the malicious discrediting of donald Tusk takes place, among others, using a dehumanization strategy. In order to obtain results that will enable the purpose of the research to be achieved, the following questions were asked: 1. What image of the opposition leader emerges from the evening edition of the TVP1 news program?; 2. does the way of portraying donald Tusk bear the hallmarks of malicious discredit?; 3. Which dehumanization techniques do TVP producers use and how?; 4. What threats does the dehumanization of a political opponent pose to the individual and the state of democracy in Poland? The sample included the content of 32 main editions of Wiadomości (2021–2022), and the research was qualitative (semiotic analysis, discourse analysis).

Authors: Ufel Wojciech , Rodziewicz Aleksandra
Published: March 2024

Citizen’s summit is a relatively new method in the landscape of Polish participatory practices that, up to this point, has not received a comprehensive academic treatment supported by empirical research. The subject of this text is one of the first publicly organized summits in Poland, which took place in july 2023 in Wrocław and concerned the renovation of ruska Street. In the text, the authors refer to the action research method, which combines scientific observation with active cooperation with the practical environment. The collection of analysed data was carried out using three research methods: participant observation, group interviews, and the analysis of existing documents.
Assessment of Green Quotas in Participatory Budgeting in the Context of Climate Change Challenges
Authors: Martela Borys
Published: March 2024

The article presents results of the study of green quotas in participatory budgeting (PB), i.e. funds earmarked to finance environmentally beneficial projects. Those type of quotas were introduced in N = 17 or 6% of cities in Poland with more than 5,000 inhabitants, which organised PB between 2020 and 2022. On average, 10% of funds in participatory budgeting were allocated to projects within green quotas. In most cities “green” projects were defined most often as investments in green areas of cities or increasing the amount and quality of plants in city space. less frequently, the definition of “green” projects included small-scale retention and water management, organisation of events or care and protection of animals. The results of the analysis show the moderate effectiveness of green quotas. On average, 62% of their funds were allocated to investments concerning plants. however, the effectiveness of green quotas varied across cities. Some projects selected for implementation were “green” in name only. Rather than focus on improving the city environment, they entailed spending on new recreational infrastructure. Improving the functioning of green quotas requires tightening local regulations. it is also worth considering allowing a broader catalogue of tasks affecting the adaptation of cities to climate change, e.g. related to sustainable mobility or energy transformation.
