Phlogacanthus cornutus is a rare species and the chemical profiles and the bioactivities of this plant are unknown. In present study, the chemical components of the acetone extract as well as the antioxidant activity of acetone extract and its fractions such as n-hexane, chloroform and ethyl acetate of P. cornutus were firstly reported. A total of 33 constituents were identify in the acetone extract of this plant using Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry assay, in which trans-cinnamic acid (21.26%), neophytadiene (6.36%), linolenic acid (5.86%), dihydroagathic acid (5.71%), n-hexadecanoic acid (5.53%), phytol (4.14%) and cis-cinnamic acid (3.23%) were the major compounds. The acetone extract and its fractions such as n-hexane, chloroform and ethyl acetate of P. cornutus showed DPPH radical scavenging activity with IC50 value of 234.31, 185.95, 758.65 and 458.52 µg/mL respectively.

Published: December 2022

Stress caused by drought induces plant morphology, biochemistry, and physiology changes, leading to considerable reductions in plant growth and productivity. This study aimed to evaluate the antioxidant defence system of impatiens seedlings (Impatiens walleriana L.) under drought. The antioxidant response of impatiens to drought was evaluated using following parameters: the activity of catalase, guaiacol peroxidase, pyrogallol peroxidase and ascorbate peroxidase, total phenolic and flavonoids contents and total antioxidant capacity. The experiment was conducted during 2020 in a greenhouse under controlled conditions. Half of the impatiens seedlings (20 plants), after the acclimation period in the greenhouse, were exposed to drought for a period of five days, while the second half was not (20 plants were regularly watered). The results of the study showed that the exposure of impatiens seedlings to drought increased the activity of enzymatic components, total phenolics and flavonoids contents and total antioxidant capacity of leaves. Greater exposure of impatiens to drought (in the observed period) implied a higher plant enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidant defence system activity. These results confirm that impatiens has evolved both enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidant defence mechanisms to adapt and survive the short-term drought exposure.

Published: December 2022

Genetic diversity analysis is a pre-requisite to develop improve variety of any crop. Hence, 39 SSR markers were used to analyze the genetic diversity of local chilli cultivars. PCR-amplified microsatellite loci were shown to be polymorphic in all investigated cultivars. The locus, CAMS-647 produced the highest number of alleles (8) ranging in size from 188 to 279 bp. PIC values for 39 primers ranged from 0.099 for the locus Hpms 1-165 to 0.806 for the locus CAMS-679. All of the SSRs examined were informative in characterizing the genotypic variance of the samples while 12 were more informative with higher PIC values (> 0.6). There was a wide range of genetic diversity varied from 0.117 (HpmsE075) to 0.806 (CAMS-647), whereas the highest (1.713) and the lowest (0.205) value of Shannon’s Information Index was registered in the locus CAMS-679 and Hpms 1-165, respectively. There was a higher degree of genetic differentiation (0.927) and a lower amount of gene flow (0.010). Nei’s genetic distance (GD) varied from 0.100 to 0.990. Among 96 cultivars, 55 had distinct status in the dendrogram with higher GD values (> 0.6), while 41 cultivars showed a close relationship and yielded lower GD values.

Published: December 2022

Xanthogaleruca luteola (Mull., 1766) is the major defoliator pest of elm trees in urban area. In this study the effect of lufenuron on some biochemical and biological characteristics was investigated on X. luteola. The LC30 and LC50 of lufenuron were determined on the second instar larvae as 20.22 and 36.65 mg l-1, respectively. Effects of LC30 and LC50 concentrations of lufenuron on some biological parameters showed that lufenuron caused an increase in larval, pre-pupal and pupal developmental periods. Also, none of the female insects that emerged from the treated larvae did not spawn during their life. The LC50 concentration of lufenuron decreased carbohydrate, lipid and protein content and increased glycogen content. But there was not a significant difference in glycogen, and protein contents following the exposure to LC30 concentration. However, glutathione-s-transferase (GST) and esterase activities were significantly increased at LC50. In conclusion, due to lethal and sublethal effect of lufenuron on biochemical and biological traits of X. luteola, it can be recommended for control this pest in IPM program.

Published: December 2022

Students from diverse backgrounds report that time pressures, financial responsibilities, caring commitments, and geographic location are barriers to their uptake of work integrated learning (WIL). Through interviews with 32 students and 15 educators who participated in online WIL, we investigated whether online WIL might be one way of overcoming these barriers. Benefits of online WIL for students included employability skills, meaningful work, affordability, and flexibility when coping with health issues. Challenges for students included missing out on workplace interactions, digital access, and finding a private space in which to work. Students from diverse backgrounds were viewed by educators as bringing positive contributions to the workplace. Educators found challenges in giving feedback and not being able to replicate some aspects of in-person workplaces. We conclude with recommendations on how online WIL might be enhanced to better meet the needs of students facing equity issues.
Implications for practice and policy:

All participants in online WIL should be encouraged to intentionally view diversity as a strength.
Educators need to create explicit opportunities for formal and informal interaction and network building during online WIL.
Educators should provide engaging and purposeful work during online WIL.
Students may need additional financial or material support to undertake online WIL, for example to enable digital access and access to a private workspace.

Authors: Corrin Linda , Lodge Jason M. , Thompson Kate
Published: December 2022

After two years of change and uncertainty in tertiary education, in 2022 the editorial team of AJET saw a return to a focus on research that explores educational technology use in a range of learning and teaching environments. It has also been an interesting year in terms of the changing academic publishing environment and the opportunities and challenges facing AJET as a leading educational technology journal. In this end-of-year editorial we will look at what has been published in AJET throughout 2022, the bibliometrics that help characterise the journal’s role in the field, and consider the trends that are emerging for academic publishing and their impact on how AJET develops into the future.
Spór Rumunii z Ukrainą w sprawie głębokowodnej drogi żeglownej Dunaj–Morze Czarne w świetle zapisów Konwencji z Espoo
Authors: Kastory Agnieszka
Published: December 2022

Delta Dunaju obecnie znajduje się na terytorium Ukrainy i Rumunii. W 2002 r. na Ukrainie powstał projekt głębokowodnej drogi żeglownej Dunaj–Morze Czarne, która miała prowadzić wspólnym ramieniem Kilia, a następnie jedną z jego odnóg, Kanałem Bystre. Projekt składał się z dwóch faz, a każda z nich podlegała odrębnej procedurze administracyjnej. Ukraina poinformowała Rumunię o projekcie w 2002 r., a opinię o jej wpływie na środowisko dostarczyła w 2004 r. Procedura ta naruszała zapisy Konwencji z Espoo, którą podpisały oba państwa. Rumunia wszczęła przeciw Ukrainie procedurę dochodzeniową. Jej skarga została uznana za zasadną, a Spotkanie Stron podjęło wobec Ukrainy kilka decyzji. Pierwsza z nich nakazywała Ukrainie dostosować projekt do zapisów Konwencji, a do chwili uzyskania zgodności, przerwać prace. Ukraina wykorzystała dwufazowy charakter projektu i wstrzymała rozpoczęcie drugiej fazy, prowadząc jednocześnie prace w ramach pierwszej fazy. Kolejne Spotkania Stron Konwencji z Espoo odnotowywały połowiczność i opieszałość działań Ukrainy. W rezultacie prowadzone przez nią prace nadal są monitorowane.
Biografia językowa jednostki w procesie społeczno-politycznym. Na przykładzie Polki z Republiki Mołdawii
Authors: Krasowska Helena
Published: December 2022

Celem niniejszego artykułu jest pokazanie, jakie czynniki socjolingwistyczne mają wpływ na kształtowanie się wielojęzyczności jednostki oraz jaka jest korelacja pomiędzy używanymi językami w kon[1]tekście historycznym i społecznym. Czynniki wpływające na wielojęzyczność jednostki zależą od miejsca urodzenia (język ojca, język matki), miejsca zamieszkania (wieś, miasto, liczba użytkowników mówiących w danym języku), od statusu i prestiżu języka (język administracji państwowej, język mniejszości grupy), polityka językowa państwa (stała, zmienna). Została nakreślona sytuacja społeczno-polityczna Republiki Mołdawii, aby zrozumieć konkretny przypadek językowy Polki mieszkającej w Kiszyniowie i jej życie w językach oraz pokazać rolę języka jednostki na tle zmian społeczno-politycznych w Mołdawii. Różne czynniki społeczne, polityczne, ekonomiczne wpłynęły na wielojęzyczność Polki z Kiszyniowa. W ciągu jej długiego życia zmieniał się zakres użycia języków i kompetencje w każdym z nich. Czynniki zewnętrzne ukształtowały jej zachowania językowe. Na zmianę, używanie i nabywanie kolejnych języków miały wpływ wydarzenia polityczno-społeczne w tej części Europy.
Znikanie etnosu i nowe formy walki o tożsamość: wschodnioromańscy mieszkańcy Istrii
Authors: Nowicka Ewa
Published: December 2022

Artykuł jest oparty na dwóch intensywnych antropologicznych badaniach terenowych. Poświęcony jest gwałtownie zachodzącym procesom kulturowym wśród zbiorowości posługujących się do niedawna (a obecnie szczątkowo) wschodnioromańskimi dialektami wśród mieszkańców Istrii, tracących tożsamość językową, „rozpływających się” wśród chorwackiej większości, ulegających radykalnej integracji tożsamościowej i asymilacji do narodowej kultury chorwackiej. Interesuje mnie nie tyle historyczne pochodzenie grupy, ile jej samookreślenie, jak się okazuje, skomplikowana tożsamość wewnętrzna zbiorowości a także podejmowane przez lokalną inteligencję próby jej regeneracji poprzez naukę regionalnego języka romańskiego. Uwzględniony zostaje także aspekt miejsca w hierarchii społecznej lokalnych grup wschodnioromańskich Istrii w oczach sąsiadów i kulturowa walka o jego zmianę.
O cesarzowych Cesarstwa Łacińskiego (1204–1261) (3). Jolanta z Flandrii
Authors: Pentek Zdzisław
Published: December 2022

Artykuł jest trzecią częścią cyklu ‘O cesarzowych Cesarstwa Łacińskiego (1204–1261)’. Ten jest poświęcony Jolancie z Flandrii, drugiej żonie Piotra II z Courteney. Jolanta została cesarzową w 1217 roku, w tym samym roku straciła męża, a prawdopodobnie w 1218 roku urodziła Baldwina. W historii Cesarstwa Łacińskiego nie odegrała żadnej znaczącej roli.
Węgrzy a ludy tureckie przed Osmanami
Authors: Grzesik Ryszard
Published: December 2022

Ugrofińscy Węgrzy nawiązali kontakt z ludami z tureckiej grupy językowej najpóźniej w dzisiejszej Baszkirii stanowiącej ich praojczyznę, legendarne Wielkie albo Wschodnie Węgry, o których pamiętali średniowieczni kronikarze. Ludy tureckie były mieszkańcami Wielkiego Stepu, stąd określenie Turków stało się synonimem koczowników. W źródłach bizantyńskich pod mianem Turków występują Węgrzy. Wraz z odłamem bułgarskich Onogurów, zapisanych w źródłach arabskich jako s.k.l, a znanych później jako Szeklerzy, w latach 30. IX w. osiedlili się w okolicach Morza Azowskiego, dostając się pod polityczną podległość Chazarów. O tym, że Węgrów powszechnie utożsamiano z Turkami, świadczy określenie ich przez słowiańskich sąsiadów mianem Onogurów, czyli *Ągrów, skąd wzięła się łacińska nazwa Hungari albo polska Węgrów. Jak się wydaje, węgierski związek plemienny wędrujący najpierw nad stepy meotydzkie, później zaś migrujący do Kotliny Karpackiej, był wieloetniczny z dużym udziałem ludności tureckojęzycznej (Szeklerzy, chazarscy Kabarzy), która stopniowo uległa madziaryzacji, pozostawiając Węgrom elementy świadomości historycznej (pamięć o Attyli, którą Szymon z Kézy erudycyjnie przekształcił w historię o pokrewieństwie huńsko-węgierskim). Jednak stworzone przez nich w Kotlinie Karpackiej państwo zachowało charakter wieloetniczny, co dopiero w czasie rozwoju nowożytnych nacjonalizmów zaczęło stwarzać problemy, które przyczyniły się do rozpadu państwa w 1918 r.

How can they be incorporated into the teaching and learning process of foreign languages?
The linguistic and cultural experiences of Portuguese Erasmus+ students during their stay in Ostrava: Challenges and opportunities
Authors: Włosowicz Teresa Maria
Published: December 2022

The study investigates the linguistic and cultural experiences of Erasmus+ students from Portugal at the University of Ostrava in the Czech Republic. Special attention is paid to the chal- lenges encountered by the students in both communication and coping with cultural differences, as well as to their language needs, ways of communicating, attitudes towards the Czech culture, and the role of English in communication. The research tool was a questionnaire covering a number of questions related to the purpose of the study. As the results show, while the intercultural experience was generally enriching and the participants appreciated some interesting aspects of the Czech culture, they were particularly disappointed by the limited number of Czechs able to speak English and some of the academic teachers’ low levels of language proficiency in English. In fact, this is not limited to the lack of language skills, as communication problems can also lead to the perception of the interlocutor as unpleasant and unhelpful.

Narcyzm i sprawstwo w kulturze artystycznej
Authors: Dziadzia Bogusław
Published: December 2022

Narcissism is a part of the cultural heritage. It reaches many areas of social life. As a cultural phenomenon, it reaches more profound and broader than psychological analyses would indicate. It has always been present in the biographies of people significant for the development of culture and art. The thesis in the text states that cultural achievements without narcissism would be much more modest than we can observe today. The conducted argument indicates the positive aspects of narcissism in the field of artistic culture. Praise of narcissism concerns agency in culture and art. Trying to determine the place of narcissism in art culture, I favor forgoing the one-sidedly negative perception of the phenomenon of narcissism. Narcissism here is one of the motivating factors

Raising student bilingualism through foreign language (English) teacher professional involvement
Authors: Kawałek Alicja , Polok Krzysztof , Przybysz- Zaremba Małgorzata
Published: December 2022

The bilingual process is widely observed among many people and many cultures. Out of the many different forms of bilingualism, the form of bilingualism that most often appears is the subsequent one, being the result of learning a second language in school settings. When developing this type of bilingualism, both the language competences of language teachers and the quality of their teaching talent are very important. In order to assess this type of interdependence, a study that focuses on the teachers’ skills and competences, on the one hand, and the impact L2 teachers have on students, on the other hand, was designed. The study involved 50 teachers and 100 students taught by them, all of them attending vocational secondary schools in southern Poland. All participants of the study (i.e. both the teachers and the students) were to answer six verification questions included in the Matura exam 2018. The results obtained during the research indicate the existence of an interdependence between the actual level of proficiency of foreign language (FL) teachers and the final evel of L2 proficiency presented by their students. Generally, the students led by language teachers with a higher overall level of communicative competence showed an overall better command of English in the survey.

Grandparents have always been the backbone of every family. Thanks to them the knowledge is passed on, values are shaped and traditions nurtured. They are a treasury of knowledge to which all family members reach. They are the people who will be happy to help, take care of, educate, explain and listen to. The relationship between grandparents and their grandchildren is very important, as they often spend a lot of time together and learn from each other. Due to the importance of the topic, a decision to learn more about the relationship between contemporary grandchildren and their grandparents was made. The scientific aim of the article is to learn about the relationships that exist between the studied students and their grandparents. Searching for an answer to the question posed, a research technique in the form of interviews with children was used. As a result of own research, it was shown that the surveyed students have very good relations with their grandparents, speak about them with great respect, and grandparents are a role model for them. The obtained results emphasize the extraordinary role of grandparents in the grandchildren’s lives, which is the basis for further studies on a larger scale, taking into account the perspective of grandparents and the demographic data of the surveyed families, which would enable the identification of mutual dependencies.
Planowanie zajęć dydaktycznych na studiach wyższych w okresie pandemii
Authors: Lisowska Kinga
Published: December 2022

The article focuses on the issue of preparing the schedule of didactic classes in the conditions of social isolation and sanitary regime during the COVID-19 pandemic at universities in Poland. The research was conducted at the Faculty of Social Sciences, University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn, based on individual interviews, partially directed, with employees responsible for planning in 2017 2021, analysis of existing databases, i.e. state-wide regulations and intra-university regulations. To elaborate on the subject, an outline of the pre-pandemic timetable preparation process was outlined and compared with planning in times of complete isolation and recovery to relative normality in a sanitary regime. The preparation of a relevant timetable of didactic classes, taking into account study plans for individual fields of study for the entire education cycle, is a time-consuming and responsible work, in which the margin of error should be minimized in: overlapping the implementation of didactic units and hourly miscalculation of individual subjects. This task in the period of isolation and relative stabilization in the sanitary regime was a huge challenge for planners, who often had to react to a dynamically changing pandemic situation. Inefficient preparation of timetables can significantly disrupt the organization of the didactic process in higher education.
Elementy magii i religii w rzeczywistości społecznej kapitalizmu
Authors: Kufliński Mateusz
Published: December 2022

The article is dedicated to the issue of magic and religion in the social reality of capitalism. The goal of the article is to present  examples proving that capitalism in various places (post-communist Central Europe, San Cristobal in the Mexican state of Chiapas, Colombian department Valle del Cauca, New York) and at various times (from the 1970s to the second decade of the 21st century) was associated with elements of religion and magic through social thinking and practice, and therefore elements of social reality. On the other hand, in the discourse, capitalism is often presented as a part of nature: the existence that acts objectively, like the laws of physics. In the article, this apparent contradiction is presented as a dialectical aspect of the present day, in which the discourse and social reality are complementary.
Liberalizm w edukacji
Authors: Karoń Aleksandra Irena
Published: December 2022

The contemporary message of some media associates broadly understood liberalism with the pejoratively interpreted slogan “do whatever you want”. Common understanding of liberalism as, very generally speaking, libertarian views, also tends to be juxtaposed with an almost anarchist view of the world. The purpose of this text is to reflect on how liberalism can be understood (and whether there is one way to define it) and how a liberal thought influences education. Can it shape education? If so, how? The liberal tradition is not only rich and diverse (it is impossible to talk about one liberalism with a capital “L”, or rather liberalisms of specific countries), but also has a significant impact on the way of thinking about the world in its various dimensions. The text provides an overview of the main tenets of liberalism along with their historical outline. The discussion about the main ideas of liberalism serves to organize a series of, sometimes contradictory, information about it. The background outlined in this way allows us to focus on the issue of liberalism in education, while posing a number of problematic, remaining open, questions about the essence of education or the role of school in the neoliberal perspective. The entanglement of science in ideologies is also shown, an example of which is mathematics, the subject defined in accordance with the adopted philosophical or even political perspective. The overview character of the text is intertwined with questions on the border of the philosophy of education and the history of political thought, which is a good introduction to further deepening the knowledge in both these areas.
Le français « sauvage » dans les chansons d’Édith Piaf – un aperçu didactique
Authors: Gajos Mieczysław
Published: December 2022

Édith Giovanna Gassion, known as Édith Piaf recorded more than three hundred songs. Her repertoire is as rich as her biography. Often, in the texts of Piaf’s songs, we can find some traces of her life, stories that she had told to her lyricists, who made use of them by suggesting that her songs qualified as realistic. While analysing the texts of Édith Piaf’s songs created between 1935 and 1963, we can identify the vocabulary belonging to the slang register. In the linguistic part of our article, we will try to present this lexicon. In the didactic part of our article we will look at the problem of pedagogical exploitation of the slang vocabulary contained in the songs of Édith Piaf.

The idea of implementing an escape room as part of foreign language teaching fits perfectly with the needs of today's learner, where we create a natural learning environment using digital tools. The escape room, whether stationary or virtual, gives space for the use of different types of language tasks. The article first describes the escape room in the light of theoretical considerations. It then presents the results of a survey, conducted among 31 teachers of various foreign languages.  The aim of the survey was to gather feedback from the teachers who themselves use escape rooms in their language classes.
Ewolucja i aktualne wyzwania ustawodawstwa w sprawach o wykroczenia
Authors: Liżyńska Katarzyna , Płońska Anna
Published: December 2022

Ewolucja ustawodawstwa w sprawach o wykroczenia trwa nieprzerwanie od 1918 r. Także spór o miejsce prawa wykroczeń w systemie prawnym, sięgający prac kodyfikacyjnych po 1918 r., jawi się dzisiaj jako niezwykle aktualny. Celem artykułu jest ukazanie i analiza kierunków rozwoju prawa wykroczeń oraz eksplikacja obecnych wyzwań tej gałęzi prawa. W doktrynie od wielu lat podnoszona jest potrzeba gruntownej reformy prawa wykroczeń m.in. ze względu na dość archaiczny Kodeks wykroczeń z 1971 r. W opracowaniu wykorzystano metodę historycznoprawną oraz dogmatycznoprawną. Podjęte badanie zostało przeprowadzone na podstawie analizy aktów prawnych w zakresie prawa wykroczeń w ujęciu historycznym oraz ich licznych nowelizacji, a także analizę aktualnych tendencji m.in. w zakresie przekształcania wykroczeń w tzw. delikty administracyjne. Przeprowadzone rozważania prowadzą do wniosku, że prawo wykroczeń jest dynamicznie zmieniającą się gałęzią prawa, która jednak wciąż wymaga kompleksowej i gruntownej reformy. Aktualnie nie ulega wątpliwości, że prawo wykroczeń należy do gałęzi prawa karnego, a sąd jest jedynym organem uprawnionym do wymierzania kar za wykroczenia. Charakter materialnoprawny wykroczeń wymusza poszukiwania najbardziej optymalnego modelu reakcji na wykroczenie. W odpowiedzi na palącą potrzebę reformy prawa wykroczeń wysuwane są m.in. koncepcje orzekania w sprawach o wykroczenia przez organy pozasądowe. Autorki podkreślają, że ewentualne zmiany modelu orzekania w sprawach o wykroczenia stanowią tym bardziej duże wyzwanie, gdyż muszą przy tym zadośćuczynić normie wyrażonej w art. 237 Konstytucji RP, zgodnie z którym organem właściwym do orzekania w sprawach o wykroczenia jest sąd.
Terroryzm żywnościowy oraz obrona żywności w ujęciu formalnoprawnym
Authors: Wiśniewska Małgorzata Zdzisława
Published: December 2022

Ze względu na rolę żywności w życiu człowieka i dla gospodarek całego świata, zarówno żywność, jak i cały łańcuch żywnościowy są bardzo podatnym celem ataku terrorystycznego. Terroryzm żywnościowy nie jest zjawiskiem nowym, a bieżące doświadczenia potwierdzają, że jest nadal bardzo groźny. Celem artykułu jest uzyskanie odpowiedzi na dwa pytania badawcze: (1) Czy i w jakim zakresie prawo stanowione wyznacza ramy ochrony żywności przed celowym zanieczyszczeniem? (2) Jaką rolę w zakresie obrony żywności przed terroryzmem pełni prywatne prawo żywnościowe? W wyniku przeprowadzanych analiz prawa, w tym prawa żywnościowego i prywatnego prawa żywnościowego, potwierdzono, że w prawie krajowym oraz europejskim prawie żywnościowym nie ma odniesienia do terroryzmu żywnościowego oraz obrony żywności. Jedyne regulacje, które istnieją, dotyczą ochrony tzw. infrastruktury krytycznej, w tym zapewniającej dostawy żywności i wody. Najbardziej w tym względzie rozwiniętym prawem na świecie jest amerykańskie prawo żywnościowe, w tym tzw. ustawa modernizacyjna, nakładająca obowiązek wdrożenia przez organizacje systemu analizy zagrożeń i opartych na ryzyku środków zapobiegawczych wobec żywności (Hazard Analysis and Risk-Based Preventive Controls, HARPC). Bardzo ważną rolę w temacie obrony przed terroryzmem żywnościowym odgrywa prywatne prawo żywnościowe, a także dobrowolne pod względem ich wdrożenia narzędzia oceny ryzyka (np. system TACCP), wypracowywane przez różne agendy i stowarzyszenia branżowe.
Volunteers during a crisis in Israel: a case study of spontaneous self-organized volunteer activity
Authors: Shamir-Tixell Edith
Published: December 2022

In Israel, a large number and a wide range of non-governmental volunteering organizations exist in various fields. At the same time, due to the multiplicity of security incidents and other national crises, there are also numerous independent volunteer initiatives emerging within specific communities, small communities, or cities. Private initiatives that started as small volunteer aid have grown mainly thanks to the technological possibilities that enable the transfer of information about a crisis and the needs associated with it. This study examines the volunteers’ perception of effectiveness in a self-organized spontaneous setting, and their sense of belonging to the community and the State of Israel. This article presents a case study of unorganized, spontaneous volunteer activity in Israel in situations of stress and crisis. The study is based on participant observation and semi-structured interviews with those who engaged in spontaneous self-organized volunteer activity. The study findings show that mobilizing volunteers through WhatsApp messages strengthened the sense of effectiveness in performing the task, fostered the volunteers’ sense of belonging to their community, and contributed to the rapid achievement of the task. The study also highlights the socio-moral dimensions that intensify in such a volunteering process and the individual’s feelings about his place in society and his observation of society’s behaviour in general.

Speech act-based legitimisation in selected inaugural speeches of British Prime Ministers
Authors: Buczowski Maciej , Strukowska Marta Eliza
Published: December 2022

This paper offers insight into discursive patterns of the two most recent BritishPrime Ministers’ inaugural speeches from an anthropological pragmatics perspective. The paper employed speech act theory in conjunction with a qualitatively centered critical discourse analysis study to unveil messages within the illocutionary communicative acts in the context of public political speeches. It is argued that both speeches are inherently embedded within threat-based rhetoric whose persuasive effect follows from a predominant use of the pathos and ethos appeals. Advancing the concept of speech acts as a tool for establishing pragma-discursive patterns, this paper demonstrates that generating fear in public discourse is essentially strategic and goal-oriented practice. Most importantly, the strategies used by Rishi Sunak rely heavily on his use of promises and statements, reflecting patterns of legitimisation through building a credibility schema and proximising the frame of fear mongering. Liz Truss on the other hand, develops slightly different narrative patterns, drawing mainly upon promises that help enact ‘collective leadership’ in the times of threat and a socio-economic crisis.

Dysfunkcja słuchu nie jest przeszkodą w uczeniu się języka obcego
Authors: Skowronek Barbara
Published: December 2022

A human being communicates with the help of all his/her senses (especially hearing, sight, touch) and language. Hearing dysfunction makes it difficult to perceive reality, prevents, or at least seriously hinders, communication. Learning your first (native) language is not easy, but possible; with the help of inclusive learning it is also possible to learn a foreign language.
The aesthetic and the pedagogical – two opposing notions? A comparative analysis of Polish and British blogs about children’s literature
Authors: Fornalczyk-Lipska Anna
Published: December 2022

Children’s literature belongs simultaneously to the literary and the educational sys-tem – this is why the notions of the aesthetic and the pedagogical seem to be crucial in its study. They are often seen as opposing each other. The dichotomy between them appears to be even more interesting when approached from a cross-cultural perspective. Whereas English authors of books for the young reader were among the first to support the development of the children’s book into an art form in its own right (around the middle of the 19th century), their Polish counterparts followed suit decades later, as earliest attempts at writing artistically and without excessive didacticism appeared in the 1930s. In this context, a question arises whether and to what extent these traditional approaches to children’s literature and critique are still topical. I will address this question on the basis of a qualitative analysis of themed blogs written about literature for the young reader published in Poland and in the United Kingdom in the recent years. Interestingly, blogs discussing children’s literature are not addressed directly to the child, but to the “mediator circle”, or “gate-keepers”, primarily parents, teachers and librarians. With the help of content analysis and discourse analysis tools, I will try to determine the main themes present in their discussion of children’s and young adult literature, and to address them from the perspective of the traditional dichotomy between the aesthetic and the pedagogical.
The Influence of the Code of Ethics and Corporate Ethical Values on the Ethical Judgment of Auditors: Evidence from Vietnam
Authors: Le Thi Thu Ha , Vo Xuan Vinh
Published: December 2022

Accounting fraud and auditing fraud are important areas of research that have both theoretical and practical implications. A strong and sound code of ethics and ethical values are in place in order to prevent these frauds. The study investigates the impact of the code of ethics and audit firms’ corporate ethical values on auditors’ ethical judgment in Vietnam. Based on questionnaires collected from Vietnamese auditors, the results of the study indicate that the code of ethics for professional accountants has a significant influence on the auditors’ ethical judgment. Whereas the finding only shows minor support for the influence of the audit firms’ corporate ethical values on the auditors’ ethical judgment. The study has implications for audit firms and professional bodies in their continuous efforts to promote understanding and compliance with the code of ethics and develop a strong corporate ethical culture in the firms.
Variational mode decomposition and binary grey wolf optimization-based automated epilepsy seizure classification framework
Authors: Yadav Vipin Prakash , Sharma Kamlesh Kumar
Published: December 2022

This work proposes a variational mode decomposition (VMD) and binary grey wolf optimization (BGWO) based seizure classification framework. VMD decomposes the EEG signal into band-limited intrinsic mode function (BL-IMFs) non-recursively. The frequency domain, time domain, and information theory-based features are extracted from the BL-IMFs. Further, an optimal feature subset is selected using BGWO. Finally, the selected features were utilized for classification using six different supervised machine learning algorithms. The proposed framework has been validated experimentally by 58 test cases from the CHB-MIT scalp EEG and the Bonn University database. The proposed framework performance is quantified by average sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy. The selected features, along with Bayesian regularized shallow neural networks (BR-SNNs), resulted in maximum accuracy of 99.53 and 99.64 for 1 and 2 s epochs, respectively, for database 1. The proposed framework has achieved 99.79 and 99.84 accuracy for 1 and 2 s epochs, respectively, for database 2.
Hierarchical Bayesian bootstrap for heterogeneous treatment effect estimation
Authors: Oganisian Arman , Mitra Nandita , Roy Jason A.
Published: December 2022

A major focus of causal inference is the estimation of heterogeneous average treatment effects (HTE) – average treatment effects within strata of another variable of interest such as levels of a biomarker, education, or age strata. Inference involves estimating a stratum-specific regression and integrating it over the distribution of confounders in that stratum – which itself must be estimated. Standard practice involves estimating these stratum-specific confounder distributions independently (e.g. via the empirical distribution or Rubin’s Bayesian bootstrap), which becomes problematic for sparsely populated strata with few observed confounder vectors. In this paper, we develop a nonparametric hierarchical Bayesian bootstrap (HBB) prior over the stratum-specific confounder distributions for HTE estimation. The HBB partially pools the stratum-specific distributions, thereby allowing principled borrowing of confounder information across strata when sparsity is a concern. We show that posterior inference under the HBB can yield efficiency gains over standard marginalization approaches while avoiding strong parametric assumptions about the confounder distribution. We use our approach to estimate the adverse event risk of proton versus photon chemoradiotherapy across various cancer types.
The Effect of Combined Strength Training on Vertical Jump Performance in Young Basketball Players: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
Authors: Uysal Hüseyin Şahin , Dalkiran Oguzhan , Korkmaz Sezgin , Akyildiz Zeki , Nobari Hadi , Clemente Filipe Manuel
Published: December 2022

Combined strength training is performed with a combination of plyometric exercises and traditional strength exercises. This training method with different protocols (such as complex training or contrast training) is used to develop vertical jump performance in basketball. Combined strength training is based on the theory of PAP, and physiological changes in the nervous musculature allow for acute performance enhancement. Included and excluded studies were determined according to PICOS criteria. The search was performed on the electronic databases of Google Scholar, PubMed, and Scopus between September 1-7, 2022. The effect of combined strength training on vertical jump performance in basketball was compared with different training methods and as a result, a moderate effect was found in favor of combined strength training (ES=1.11, (95%CI 0.63-1.60), I2= 82%). As a result of systematic review and meta-analysis, it has been found that combined strength training applied in different forms in basketball is superior to other training methods in improving vertical jump performance. On the other hand, there is no superiority between the combined strength training protocols. Athletic performance specialists may improve jump performance by combining plyometric and traditional strength exercises in the same training season.
Functions and therapeutic potentials of exosomes in osteosarcoma
Authors: Yue Jiaji , Chen Zhe-Sheng , Xu Xiang-Xi , Li Shenglong
Published: December 2022

Osteosarcoma, a primary malignant tumor of the skeleton, has a morbidity of 2.5 per 1 million people. The epiphysis of extremities is typically affected. Osteosarcoma has a high likelihood of early metastasis, rapid progression, and poor prognosis. The survival rate of patients with metastatic or recurrent osteosarcoma remains low; therefore, novel diagnostic and therapeutic methods are urgently needed. Exosomes, extracellular vesicles 30–150 nm in diameter, are secreted by various cells and are widely present in various body fluids. Exosomes are abundant in biologically active components, such as proteins, nucleic acids, and lipids. Exosomes participate in numerous physiological and pathological processes via intercellular substance exchange and signaling. This review presents the novel findings regarding exosomes in osteosarcoma diagnosis, prognosis, and therapeutics.
Prinos likovnih umjetnica enformelnoj apstrakciji
Authors: Gaj Ristić Barbara
Published: December 2022

Ovaj rad propituje pojavu enformela u hrvatskoj umjetnosti kroz rakurse rodnih teorija i problematizira razloge zbog kojih je prisutnost umjetnica vrlo mala ili gotovo zanemariva unutar enformelne apstrakcije. Umjetnost visokog modernizma je općenito u svijetu i u Hrvatskoj pretežito viđena kao „muška” ili maskulina umjetnost. Vrlo mali broj žena se na našim prostorima bavio apstraktnom umjetnošću u vrijeme pojave enformela, a još manji broj priklanjao radikalnijim materičkim istraživanjima i destrukciji forme, stoga postoji i relativno oskudan korpus radova hrvatskih likovnih umjetnica unutar enformelne poetike. Istraživanje nastoji (re)valorizirati doprinos likovnih umjetnica hrvatskom enformelu krajem 50-ih i početkom 60-ih godina 20. stoljeća. Pored djela Biserke Baretić, koja je jedna od rijetkih poznatih i priznatih hrvatskih slikarica enformelne orijentacije, među nekolicinom autorica ističe se Mila Kumbatović sa svojim strukturalnim slikama, a u radu se obrađuju i dva gotovo nepoznata enformelna djela vinkovačke likarice Đurđene Zaluški Haramije iz 1961. godine, kao i eksperimentalni radovi kiparice Vere Fischer nastali u razdoblju od 1958. do 1960. godine.
Jakov Miličić – Kipar u liječničkoj kuti
Authors: Petrić Marinko
Published: December 2022

Jakov Miličić (1876. – 1958.) jedan je od onih nekoć uglednih, ali danas već pomalo zaboravljenih Hvarana. Po podrijetlu je Brušanin, rođen je u Hvaru, a većinu svojeg životnog i radnog vijeka proveo je u Splitu. Po struci je bio liječnik, najprije u specijalizaciji kirurgije, a potom i ginekologije. Bio je dobrotvor, humanist, kolekcionar umjetničkih djela i cijenjeni intelektualac. Uz to se vrlo aktivno i uspješno bavio kiparenjem, te ostvario skroman, ali respektabilan opus, koji je danas tek manjim dijelom sačuvan. Nažalost, o njegovu životu i djelu se malo zna. Rezultat je to nepostojanja neposrednih, obiteljskih nasljednika i, s druge strane, zlosretne sudbine njegove kiparske ostavštine koja je desetljećima bila prepuštena nebrizi i zaboravu. Iako je njegov doprinos kao liječnika bio znatan, njegovo ime danas ne nalazimo u Medicinskoj enciklopediji. Isto tako njegov kiparski rad, kojem je posvetio onu drugu polovicu svojeg života, nije u pravoj mjeri rasvijetljen niti primjereno zabilježen u suvremenim pregledima umjetnika 20. stoljeća.
Iskazi o ljudskom opstanku u škrtu i surovu podneblju
Authors: Župan Ivica
Published: December 2022

Kiparica je 1954. posjetila Dalmatinsku zagoru, zavičaj svojeg supruga slikara Frane Šimunovića i potvrđuje se kao lucidan promatrač zbilje, sposobna na jedinstven, uvjerljiv i sugestivan način motritelju prenijeti autentičnu i realističnu sliku toga jedinstvenog podneblja. Opisivala je „vlašku” svakodnevicu i njihove „koncentrirane muke”, nakon čega smo postali svjesni sublimacije tog kraja, njegove egzotike, civilizacije i kulture. Počinje proces sve dubljeg slijeganja i identifikacije njezina kiparskog i ljudskog morala, stvaralačkog kapaciteta s tvrdoćom, oskudnošću i imanentnom, monumentalnom arhaičnošću „vlaškog” podneblja. Taj prvi posjet bio je prijelomni trenutak koji će odrediti smjer širenja i produbljivanja autoričina kiparskog izričaja. Ona interpretira taj svijet iskreno, intuitivno i slobodno, istodobno mijenjajući svoj izraz.
