Human resource management in educational institutions is absolutely necessary in order to achieve national education goals. In achieving these goals, the teacher plays a big role because they directly interact with students. Professional teachers will create quality learning that has a positive impact on students' cognitive, affective, and psychomotor abilities. In educational institutions (schools), qualified teachers are influenced by the accuracy of the recruitment and selection process. Implementation of recruitment and selection in educational institutions, especially at vocational school 8 Garut, is carried out both internally and externally, which aims to meet the needs of teachers. In their implementation, recruitment and selection face problems that require the participation of various parties to find solutions in order to improve the quality of learning.
Between East and West: Mimar Kemaleddin and 'Ahmed Ratib Paşa Mansion'
Authors: AKTUR Hilal
Published: October 2023

This study focuses on the Late Period Ottoman Architecture through the summer mansion designed for Ahmed Ratib Paşa by Mimar Kemaleddin, built between 1900-1908. Ahmed Ratib Paşa Mansion’s classical planary discipline is oversailed with numerous cantilevers, balconies, and eaves placed on different levels and the angle braces that support them. On the façade, the eave adornments and the angle braces differ from classical decorative details and allude to an Ottoman Baroque past where curvilinear features are dominant. Floral Art Nouveau decorations in unique woodwork are used in all the architectural elements like balconies, windows and doors. In addition, the basket arches above the windows point to the building's affinity with the Art Nouveau movement in a rather striking fashion.

Art Nouveau “Tarz-ı Cedid” showed up in Istanbul architecture, where almost all modes of Historicism were already represented, at the turn of the century. Although mostly applied by foreign architects, Art Nouveau was also practised by local ones who had received formal training. In Istanbul, where Art Nouveau buildings were common, the portfolio included mostly large scale urban residences such as apartment buildings, mansions and villas, countryside residences and office buildings. These buildings were favoured mostly by Ottoman high level bureaucrats, by the section of the society affiliated with the court, Levantine bourgeoisie and members of foreign missions. Considering Ahmed Ratib Paşa’s Western style and modern education, and likewise that of Mimar Kemaleddin's, it is not surprising that the former would wish for this new style in his residence and the latter would implement it. However, it is worth noting that it was also in the period where he was building Ahmet Ratip Paşa Mansion that Mimar Kemaleddin began forming his notion of “National Architecture”.

Is it possible to consider Mimar Kemaleddin, who was influenced by Ottoman Baroque Architecture and designed a residence adorned with Art Nouveau details, merely within the confines of the “National Architecture Movement”?
The Prohibition of Torture from a Human Rights Perspective: Fiction or Reality in the Current Rule of Law
Authors: Angulo López Geofredo
Published: October 2023

This article discusses the problem of torture in Mexico and its impact on the legitimacy of the State and the protection of human rights. Despite the normative advances in the configuration of the notion of torture, there are problems of effectiveness in the mechanisms with which the State operates to comply with its obligation of due diligence in the prevention, investigation, registration and prosecution of torture cases. The author emphasizes that torture is a symptom of the weakness of the rule of law, which produces a social delegitimization due to the disappointment of society’s expectations in legal institutions and in the procedural guarantees of criminal justice systems. Furthermore, torture is related to a culture of impunity, discrimination and inequality, which demands effective and fair policies to address this problem. Therefore, it is necessary to advance in the justiciability, prevention, investigation, eradication, protection, reparation and punishment of acts of torture.
Assessing the Risks of Weather Derivatives for the Economic Security of an Enterprise: The Case of the Weather-Security VAR Model (In Russ.)
Authors:   Дальневосточный федеральный университет, Shichalina V.A.
Published: October 2023

Currently weather derivatives have become especially relevant due to climate change and weather disasters. In-experience and lack of practice can lead to such threats as economic security risks that affect all areas of enterprise. This article discusses the problem that weather derivatives, despite their ability to minimize risks, become themselves sources of other risks. There is a theoretical justification of this effect, defined as «risk focus shift». Study purpose is to confirm «derivative’s effect» and justify developed theoretical model using VAR method to assess emerging threats and consequences on enterprise's economic security – Weather-Security VAR. In particu-lar, this model is focused on enterprises in the Far East region, which are currently the most affected by the cli-mate change. The obtained results of study can be used for formation and development of derivative theoretical block. From a practical point of view, the presented model can be used by heads of companies and regional investment operators for assessing the likelihood of weather risks and consequences of threats to economic security.

The features of the development and functioning of the kidneys in women in norm and pathology of pregnancy
Authors: Miklin Oleg P. , Davydova Aleksandra A. , Sulima Anna N. , Rumyantseva Zoya S. , Gudz Oksana V. , Simchin Sergei A. , Yermachkova Polina A.
Published: October 2023

The kidneys play a central role for the emerging pregnancy, reacting and contributing to changes in homeostasis in the woman and fetus. Impaired kidney function during pregnancy is a fairly common and serious complication. Understanding the normal physiology of pregnancy provides the basis for further study of the changes that lead to impaired kidney function, and may provide the key to its better management.
This literature review systematizes information about the physiology and morphology of the kidneys before pregnancy, changes in them during its normal course and in cases of the presence or development of any pathological conditions for various reasons.
Knowledge of the anatomo-functional condition of the kidneys in normal pregnancy, as well as the changes that occur in renal diseases, will provide an opportunity to identify patients at high risk for the development of renal pathology, to define the management of pregnancy and, thereafter, to reduce the risk of maternal morbidity, mortality and perinatal losses.
Flexion Based Measures in Galaxy Clusters
Authors:   , Fabritius Joseph Michael , Goldberg David M.
Published: October 2023

In this work, I investigate the use of weak gravitational lensing signals as a measurement tool in galaxy cluster analysis. Intuitively, it is expected that the simpler shapes of early-type elliptical galaxies are better suited for gravitational lensing studies than late-type spiral galaxies; however, until now, no systematic study of the interplay has been conducted. I have undertaken an investigation of low and high redshift galaxy catalogs of known morphological type with a new gravitational lensing code, Lenser. Using color measurements in the u − r bands and fit S´ersic index values, objects with characteristics consistent with early-type galaxies are found to have a lower intrinsic scatter in flexion signal than late-type galaxies. The measured flexion noise can be characterized by morphology allowing for appropriate weighting within a lensing-based measurement or reconstruction, with early-type objects being lower by more than a factor of two in both low and high redshift regimes. I also perform a flexion based weak gravitational analysis of the first two Hubble Frontier Field clusters: Abell 2744 and MACS 0416. A parametric method for using projected flexion signals as a probe of cluster member mass is described in detail. The normalization, θ⋆E , and slope, ℓ, of a L − θE scaling relation is determined for each cluster using measured flexion signals, as a proxy for the L−σ Faber-Jackson relation. A parallel field analysis is undertaken simultaneously to provide a baseline measure of the method effectiveness, which returns an expected null measurement. I find an agreement in the Faber-Jackson power law exponent ℓ associated with galaxy age and morphology for both clusters, as well as theoretical distinction in the cluster normalization mass. For Abell 2744, we found a normalization mass of θ⋆E = 2.25 ± 0.46 and a slope value of ℓ = 0.62 ± 0.57. For MACS 0416, we found a normalization mass of θ⋆E = 4.55 ± 1.22 and a slope value of ℓ = 0.49 ± 0.15. A comparison with other studies directly verifies the measurement of the MACS 0416 cluster.

Competition of Legal Norms in the Russian Church from the 10th to 13th Centuries? Tithe and Weregild
Authors: Vinogradov Andrey
Published: October 2023

The article discusses two key differences between pre-Mongol Rus’ and Byzantium in the field of church legal institutions. The author shows that the introduction of tithes from princely incomes instead of fixed payments for the churches was provoked by the absence of the Greek hierarchy in Russia at the moment of the consecration of the Kiev Tithe Cathedral in 995–996, as well as by only partially monetary nature of the Old Russian economy and the general crisis of the Byzantine model of financial support for the Church. However, it was part of civil legislation and did not contradicted Byzantine canon law. However, the practice of monetary penalties for sins introduced by Yaroslav Vladimirovich directly contradicted not only the canons of the Eastern Church, but also the essence of its law. They were introduced to make it easier for newly baptized Russia to adopt the norms of Christian morality by likening punishments for its violations to monetary penalties for civil crimes, which also distinguished the legal system of Old Rus’ (as well as Northern Europe) from the Greco-Roman one.
Social Entrepreneurship and Charity in the Republic of Bashkortostan: Historical Experience and Current State
Authors: Akhmetov Vilyur
Published: October 2023

This article analyzes the historical experience and the current state of charity and social entrepreneurship in the Republic of Bashkortostan. In recent years, the institutions of charity and social entrepreneurship have been increasingly developed and supported in the regions of the Russian Federation, including Bashkortostan. They are also becoming one of the significant priorities of modern social policy. Thus, 2006 was declared the “Year of Charity” in Russia. This is due not only to the huge role of the phenomenon of charity in the social sphere of society, but also to the realities of the time. Over the past decade, including the recent crisis years, aggravated by the coronavirus pandemic, in the Republic of Bashkortostan, as well as a number of other subjects of the Russian Federation, the social base of people in need of support has expanded — disabled people, many elderly people, refugees, displaced persons, homeless, orphans, etc. Therefore, at present, the state needs to create favorable legal, organizational, financial and tax conditions that would contribute to the development of charitable institutions and social entrepreneurship.
“In perpetuum” in the Context of the Law of Medieval Cities in Northern Italy
Authors: Sredinskaya Natalia
Published: October 2023

The term “in perpetuum”, or “perpetuo”, meaning “forever”, “continuously”, “constantly”, passes into the practice of medieval Italian cities from Roman law, which had an undeniable influence on the law of the Middle Ages. It seems, however, that in the notarial acts of Northern Italy of the 12th — 14th centuries. This term, most often found in contracts of sale, is used in a special sense and has a special meaning. When analyzing purchase and sale agreements, it is important to determine which rights to the acquired property are granted to the buyer by such contracts, called “venditio — sale” by their notaries. The study of the acts shows that the presence of “in perpetuum” in them indicates that the property has been transferred on the rights of ownership. On the contrary, contracts that have the self-designation “venditio”, but do not include “in perpetuum” in their composition, grant the buyer lesser, limited rights. Thus, the presence or absence of the category “in perpetuum” in the document is of practical importance for the study of medieval act material, in particular, for its attribution.
Pendent Silver Seals of Venetian Doges from the Collection of Nicolay Likhachev: a Technological Study
Authors: Nosova Ekaterina
Published: October 2023

The article examines the materials and constructional features of ten silver seals of the Doge of Venice originating from the collection of Academician Nikolai Petrovich Likhachev (1862—1936) and kept at the St. Petersburg Institute of History of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Addressing to this collection is justified and logical, since Nikolai Likhachev was the founder of sphragistics in Russia, and his collection played a special role in the formation of this auxiliary historical discipline. The silver seals stand out from the entire set of Western European seals due to their unusual construction, which has no analogues in Western European sigillography. They are made like hollow silver boxes, filled with a unknown substance. Optical microscopy in reflected light, X-ray fluorescence analysis and FTIR spectroscopy were used for technological analysis. X-ray fluorescence analysis (XRF) showed that the box was made of copper-silver alloy (Ag 94.5—83.55 %) in various percentages with minor admixtures of Zn, Pb, Fe, Ni, Au. Three seals contain Hg (up to 3 %). However, visual inspection did not confirm the version of amalgamation, as there are no characteristic rubbings. This question requires further investigation. FTIR spectroscopy of one of the specimens revealed that the specimen was not composed of resin, as the organoleptic analysis would suggest, but of beeswax, which had reacted with the metal, resulting in the formation of salts of free fatty acids contained in the wax. Finally, it was found that the design of three of the ten seals did not allow them to be securely attached to the document. Thus, these seals did not perform their main function — protection against forgery. This fact, combined with the more difficult technique compared to others, may explain the rarity of seals of this construction.
“Italia… Longe Ante Tempora Diluvii Habitata Creditur”: The Most Ancient Past of Italy in the Latin Treatise “De Origine Urbium Italie” (from the Late 14th Century)
Authors: Maslov Artem
Published: October 2023

The author analyzes information on the first settlement of Italy by the grandchildren of Adam in the unedited Latin work “De origine urbium Italie” dated from 1391. The appearance of the text is due to the transformation of ethnogenetic myths during the Late Middle Ages and, in particular, to the regular attempts of historians to connect the exploration of various Italian regions with activities of the biblical heroes or such mythic persons who are equally correlated with the Greco-Roman tradition and the Bible. From this point of view the key specific feature of “De origine…” is the interest of its anonymous compiler in presenting as old as possible the past of Italy in whole, not of distinct cities or areas.
The History of Russian Cities in Responses to Geographical Surveys of the First Half — the Middle of the 18th Century
Authors: Tkachenko Victoria
Published: October 2023

The article examines the preservation of historical memory in Russian cities of the 18th century. The sources of the study are the answers to historical questions received from the provincial offices, to the questionnaires of the Office of Heraldry (1720s), the Academy of Sciences (1760s) and the Land Gentry Corps (1760s). The geographical scope of the study is limited to the European part of the Russian Empire with an emphasis on the study of ideas about the medieval past in ancient Russian cities. The analysis of these materials demonstrates the weak historical knowledge of clerks. Written evidence of the city's past has been lost in most archives. The memory of the Tatar raids and the devastation of cities during the Time of Troubles was transmitted through oral traditions and stories of old people. In most cities, the respondents did not remember the wars of the past years, and those who mentioned the sieges of the city by the enemy found it difficult to say when it was. In contrast to the oblivion of the events of secular history, the memory of the history of the church, the time and circumstances of the founding of temples and monasteries was much better preserved. As a result, among the historical figures, the rulers who ordered the cathedrals to be built, as well as venerated local saints.
Public Health and Sanitary Reforms in the Context of the Formation of the Modern State in China: from Empire to Republic
Authors: Mikhel Dmitriy
Published: October 2023

The article discusses key episodes connected with the formation of public health care system in China in the last years of the Qing Empire and the first years of the Chinese Republic. It is shown that this process was part of a more general process of modernization of the Chinese statehood, the reason for which was the interference of foreign countries in the internal affairs of China. In an effort to get rid of the image of the “sick man of Asia” that accompanied the empire in its historical bankruptcy, state dignitaries, intellectuals and the nationalist-minded medical community proclaimed the need to reform the state system. They saw as an essential part of the reform process the creation of an effective health care system, and the condition for this was the use of the achievements of Western medical science and sanitation. Part of the processes under consideration were measures to control the Manchurian plague epidemic, to establish modern medical institutions, to educate the population in sanitary matters and to employ reputable medical specialists in the service of the government.
Chronicle of the Arrest of Marguerite de Valois in 1586 (Based on Royal Correspondence from the National Library of Russia)
Authors: Shishkin Vladimir
Published: October 2023

The article is based on the original letters of the French king Henry III, his mother Catherine de Medicis to the Secretary of State Nicolas de Villeroy in October-November 1586, conserved as part of the collection of Peter Dubrovsky in the Russian National Library. These letters focus on an important episode in the history of the Civil Wars in France, circumstances of the arrest of the king’s rebellious sister, Marguerite de Valois, Queen of Navarre, a supporter of the Catholic League, and her itineraries in the fall of 1586 in Auvergne. This subject has not yet fully studied in the works of historians. Thanks to unknown documents, introduced now into scientific circulation, it becomes possible to understand the logic of the adoption, sequence and coordination of royal decisions regarding Marguerite, as well as the choice of couriers, the time and possibilities of delivering these decisions to recipients.
Gender Issues in Sweden: Socio-Political and Historiographical Aspects
Authors: Torstendahl-Salycheva Tamara
Published: October 2023

Gender equality in the political, legal, social, economic, and cultural spheres of modern Sweden is highly relevant to society. This issue affects all aspects of the country's life and is one of the most important points for understanding Swedish identity. The most equal opportunities for women and men are primarily manifested at the state and political levels. In the global media space of the last decade, great attention has been paid to the women's hashtag movement #metoo against cases of sexual harassment by men towards women. This phenomenon has had a significant impact on many aspects of life in Sweden. The susceptibility of Swedish society to gender inequality issues has also been influenced by the scientific achievements of humanities research. Scholars have made significant progress in developing gender issues. If the first works on women's topics were empirical studies that described events involving the weaker sex, then, from the second half of the 1970s historians began talking not about gender equality (jämlikhet), but about gender parity (jämställdhet). The emphasis was not on the biological difference between men and women, but on their social inequality. The new interest of scholars in studying the role of the state in different periods of the history of this country became a novelty in gender historiography in Sweden since the 1990s. It is in the field of studying gender issues in the last five decades that Swedish humanities have achieved the greatest success.
Soviet-Norwegian Economic Relations in the First Years After the Second World War: From Cooperation to Confrontation
Authors: Serova Maria
Published: October 2023

The article analyzes Soviet-Norwegian economic relations after the World War II. All this is considered in the context of such international events of 1948—1949 as accepting Marshall Plan aid and Norway’s entry into the NATO alliance. After the liberation of Norway in 1945 the Norwegian economy came under severe inflationary pressure. That happened as a result of the increase in money supply and the reduction of domestic production and imports. In this case, trade with the Soviet Union could have been a good alternative for the development of the Norwegian economy. The previous conditions of pre-war arrangements between Norway and the USSR continued to operate and after the war. All trade between the two countries had been settled in Norwegian kroner with the provision of the possibility of offsetting the delivery of products. Norway understood perfectly well necessity of foreign policy balancing act by striving to maintain good neighbourly relations with The Soviet Union. That promoted enhanced trade relations between both countries. Although the bulk of the Norwegian trade was with the USA and the United Kingdom. This only accelerated the depleting currency reserves of country The Norwegian nation found itself in deep financial embarrassment. So, the Norwegian Government had accepted invitation to the conference in Paris which met from July to September 1947 to discuss the details of Marshall Aid. Such a decision contributed to the further to a cooling of relations between the Norway and the USSR and declining trade between the countries.
Loss of vision without insight – the globalized city in Ensaio sobre a Cegueira/Blindness (2008) by Fernando Meirelles
Authors: Ferreira Carolin Overhoff
Published: October 2023

Blindness (2008) by Fernando Meirelles used its mode of production as a motive to situate its story in urban spaces that results in fact from an assembled city. Filming Blindness took place in Toronto, São Paulo, Osaka and Montevideo. The resulting assembled globalized city blurs the insight in Saramago into the limits of individuality by offering a homogeneous worldview that levels socio-economic differences, especially between the north and the south. Losing (clear) sight is in the original text in fact a metaphor for the inability of coping with society’s inhumanity in these particular sites. The aim of this article is to study the film by using the concepts of e-motion and indisciplinarity to reveal that Blindness is nothing more than a conventional approach towards a more complex idea on the loss of sight. By marketing it for a globalized audience, the mimics blindness and thus elimenates Saramago’s lucidity regarding the loss of sight of an entire civilization.

Published: October 2023

Learning vocabulary is a crucial part of learning the English language. There are several methods that teachers might employ when teaching vocabulary to students, especially high school students. One of these methods is to teach vocabulary more efficiently by utilizing educational games. The investigation in this research focused on learning vocabulary in a high school. The research found students’ perspectives towards the games used to teaching and learning vocabulary to students at Binh Hung Hoa High School in Ho Chi Minh City. The participants were 120 students in Grade 10 and 11 who were between 16 and 17 years old, and all of them were nonnative speakers, and 10 teachers who are in charge of teaching in this school. The writer conducted a case research, questionnaire was delivered to the students at the end of the course to get their perspectives towards learning English vocabulary through games. Besides, 10 teachers were interviewed about using games in teaching English vocabulary. The study found that using educational games as a learning and teaching strategy with young students boosted information acquisition and retention and offered students a chance to understand how their learning was used in the real world. This is also simple and enjoyable for students, allowing them to get familiar with a few words without having to recall them word by word or grow bored. This research advises employing educational games in a more inventive way when teaching vocabulary to students.

The liver is known for synthesising enzymes, metabolism, and excretion of drugs and food. However, during biological processes, the abnormality occurs in the liver, which becomes a significant global health burden in humans, characterised by loss of synthetic function, breakdown of blood, irregular vitamin K, and localised, permanent changes to parenchymal cells. The study was designed to research the Phytochemical and biological screening of Sicyos edulis leaf for hepatoprotective activity on laboratory animals using paracetamol and methotrexate model for acute incidence. The study evaluated liver toxicity in healthy Wistar albino rats using two in vivo models. Each study group consists of six animals. In the first model, paracetamol p.o. for seven days. Similarly, in the second model, methotrexate was administered (single dose treatment) to animals with 20mg/kg, b.w., p.o. Both models were challenged with methanolic extract of Sicyos edulis leaf (MESEL) of doses 100mg/kg (low) and 200 mg/kg (high) p.o. for seven days, respectively. On day 8th, the blood samples were collected from the tail vein and analysed for various biochemical parameters. MESEL successfully restored the elevated serum biomarker levels in our study. The decrease in aspartate aminotransferase was observed by removing toxic metabolites, the reduction in alanine aminotransferase was due to an increase in ATP synthesis in mitochondria, thereby modulating the balance of liver energy metabolism, and the decrease in alkaline phosphates is due to tissue regeneration, an increase in total protein denotes the restoration of protein imbalance from acute liver injury. At different concentrations, all these effects strengthen the liver, regulate body metabolism, and ultimately inhibit further liver cell damage in favour of their regeneration. Our study also evidences the protective action of MESEL in rats against the Paracetamol and methotrexate model. The study reveals hepatocyte regeneration followed by hepatic restoration in pre-clinical settings. Keywords: Acute liver disease, Sicyos edulis, Silymarin, Methotrexate, Liver enzymes

The overarching objective is to explore the innovations in the OHS domain influenced by digitalization and ascertain the benefits and challenges of integrating digital methodologies into OHS practices. A comprehensive literature review was conducted, scanning multiple sources to gather insights on the innovations brought about by digitalization in the OHS domain. The study further analyzed contemporary research and application areas of new technologies in occupational health and safety. Findings from the study confirm that the integration of digital technologies into the OHS domain can lead to a significant reduction in workplace accidents. However, as workplaces embrace digital processes, new types of risks emerge for employees. In adapting to digitalization, there are recognized challenges in areas like privacy, security, clarity, and responsibility. Digitalization has redefined the landscape of OHS, ushering in an era of OHS 4.0. While the digital methodologies offer significant advantages in reducing workplace accidents and enhancing performance, they also present new risks and challenges. As the workplace undergoes rapid changes due to technological advancements, there's a pressing need to develop OHS approaches that align with the demands of the modern age, ensuring that health and safety remain paramount amidst uncertainties in applicability.
AS SEGUNDAS NÚPCIAS DE FORROS
Authors: Muniz Pollyanna Gouveia Mendonça
Published: October 2023

Pedro da Silva, crioulo forro, natural de Cabo Verde e João Damasceno, preto forro, natural do Rio Grande do Norte, foram dois homens marcados pelo estigma da escravidão. Suas trajetórias demonstraram ter em comum o desejo de se casarem novamente depois de ficarem viúvos. Os seus Autos de Justificação de Viuvez, documentos da Câmara Episcopal do Bispado do Maranhão, permitem lançar uma lente de aumento sobre questões muito importantes na sociedade colonial, tais como o matrimônio, a escravidão e a atuação dos vigários-gerais e provisores na tentativa de controle moral das populações mesmo em tempo de ausência dos bispos. Na normativa do Juízo Eclesiástico os trâmites exigidos para o casamento não eram diferentes para livres, escravizados ou libertos. Conforme a legislação todos os leigos deveriam passar pelos estágios exigidos pela Igreja para alcançarem o status de casados. Em ambos os casos, foi preciso a inquirição de testemunhas e a coleta de informações em mais de um espaço. Trataram-se de histórias que conectam Cabo Verde, Lisboa e o Maranhão, no caso de Pedro da Silva, e a Capitania do Piauí e o Maranhão, no caso de João Damasceno. O objetivo desta investigação é analisar como os processos de comprovação do estado de viúvo de dois homens forros permitem discutir a importância do sacramento do matrimônio numa sociedade escravista.

CAMINHOS METODOLÓGICOS EM UMA DISSERTAÇÃO SOBRE PROFESSORAS PRETAS
Authors: Barbosa Izabel Espindola , Quadrado Raquel Pereira , Souza Eliane Almeida de
Published: October 2023

Mergulhar na realidade do mundo das professoras negras foi um dos mais potentes desafios encontrados ao longo deste percurso de pesquisa. Através deste estudo, desenvolvido na linha de pesquisa identidades, culturas e diferenças do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação, PPGEdu, das professoras negras e suas vivências através delas próprias, dentro de uma visão do pensamento feminista negro na educação, foi possível pensar uma investigação com o método da história oral como base em uma pretensa metodologia de descolonização epistêmica. Utilizando-se epistemologias de autores e autoras com escritas densas sobre as questões afro-diaspóricas, afro-feministas e afro-brasileiras. Uma epistemologia com princípios referentes à: experiência vivida como critério de significação; o uso do diálogo para avaliar o conhecimento; ética do cuidado nas emoções; ética da responsabilidade pessoal; e as mulheres negras como agentes do conhecimento. Ao investigar com esse olhar, não foi  uma mulher guerreira, mas cinco que inspiraram discutir modos de fazer pesquisa sobre ela e com elas. Dessa forma, aqui trazem-se notas de uma dissertação de mestrado, com recorte na construção metodológica para transgredir, ao menos um pouco, o sistema pouco flexível da academia. Reitera-se que é uma proposta construída sob aprendizados e saberes, desse modo, como homenagem em cada seção, utiliza-se uma frase dita pelas co-autoras professoras negras que contribuíram nesse processo.
„Automatyzm” działania organów podatkowych przy wydawaniu decyzji zabezpieczających w związku z zakwestionowaniem prawa do odliczenia podatku naliczonego na podstawie tzw. pustych faktur
Authors: Gibasiewicz Dariusz
Published: October 2023

Artykuł dotyczy wydawania przez organy podatkowe decyzji zabezpieczających wykonanie zobowiązania podatkowego na majątku podatnika przed wydaniem decyzji określającej wysokość zobowiązania w podatku od towarów i usług w związku z postępowaniem podatkowym lub kontrolą podatkową, lub celno-skarbową, które są prowadzone w związku z zakwestionowaniem odliczenia przez podatnika podatku naliczonego na podstawie tzw. pustych faktur. Przedstawiono w nim sposób interpretacji i stosowania tych przepisów przez organy podatkowe i sądy administracyjne w konkretnych sprawach. Dokonano także analizy błędów popełnianych w tego typu postępowaniach oraz naruszeń praw podatnika. Jednocześnie opisano prawidłowy model orzekania w tego typu sprawach – z poszanowaniem praw podatników.
Glosa do wyroku Naczelnego Sądu Administracyjnego z dnia 5 października 2021 r., sygn. II FSK 556/19
Authors: Cukierski Artur

Przedmiotem niniejszej glosy jest wyrok Naczelnego Sądu Administracyjnego z dnia 5 października 2021 r., sygn. II FSK 556/19, w którym rozpoznając skargę kasacyjną Dyrektora Krajowej Informacji Skarbowej od wyroku Wojewódzkiego Sądu Administracyjnego w Warszawie w przedmiocie podatku dochodowego od osób prawnych, Naczelny Sąd Administracyjny uchylił zaskarżony wyrok w całości, stwierdzając, że różnice pomiędzy funduszami inwestycyjnymi wprost wymienionymi w art. 3 ust. 1 i 4 ustawy z dnia 27 maja 2004 r. o funduszach inwestycyjnych i zarządzaniu alternatywnymi funduszami inwestycyjnymi oraz alternatywnymi spółkami inwestycyjnymi w rozumieniu art. 8a tej ustawy są jednak na tyle znaczne i istotne, że nie można przyjąć, iż alternatywne spółki inwestycyjne są funduszami inwestycyjnymi w rozumieniu omawianej ustawy. Jednocześnie przyznał, że nie każdy alternatywny fundusz inwestycyjny jest funduszem inwestycyjnym w rozumieniu ustawy o funduszach inwestycyjnych i zarządzaniu alternatywnymi funduszami inwestycyjnymi, a definicja funduszy inwestycyjnych, określając formy działania funduszy, posługuje się katalogiem zamkniętym, z którego wyłączono alternatywne spółki inwestycyjne. Tym samym zakwestionował prawo podatnika do skorzystania ze zwolnienia podatkowego określonego w art. 17 ust. 1e pkt 3 ustawy z dnia 15 lutego 1992 r. o podatku dochodowym od osób prawnych w przypadku lokowania dochodów w prawa uczestnictwa alternatywnej spółki inwestycyjnej.
Mimo pewnych niejasności w przepisach należy zaaprobować orzeczenie NSA. Biorąc pod uwagę, że w ustawie o funduszach inwestycyjnych wiążąco ustalono znaczenie pojęcia zarówno alternatywnej spółki inwestycyjnej, jak i funduszu inwestycyjnego, wprowadzając zarazem dychotomiczny podział pomiędzy tymi instytucjami wspólnego inwestowania, to zastosowanie wykładni językowej pozwala na jednoznaczne potwierdzenie braku możliwości zastosowania zwolnienia podatkowego określonego w art. 17 ust. 1e pkt 3 ustawy o podatku dochodowym od osób prawnych dla lokowania dochodów w prawa uczestnictwa alternatywnej spółki inwestycyjnej.

Dietetyka lecznicza w polskich uzdrowiskach w drugiej połowie XIX wieku
Authors: Kita Jarosław
Published: October 2023

W drugiej połowie XIX w. na ziemiach polskich, będących pod zaborami austriackim i rosyjskim, miał miejsce szybki rozwój kultury uzdrowiskowej. Mieszkańcy tych terenów nie tylko decydowali się na wyjazdy do uznanych zagranicznych kurortów, ale zaczęli również korzystać z „rodzimych” uzdrowisk, z których niejedno przeżywało swój rozkwit. Nastąpił przy tym proces demokratyzowania się kultury uzdrowiskowej. W polskich uzdrowiskach stosowano szereg różnego typu zabiegów leczniczych, które nie różniły się od tych przeprowadzanych w najbardziej znanych europejskich kurortach. Jednocześnie z zabiegami zaczęto wprowadzać różne typy diet leczniczych. Początkowo niezbyt różniły się one patrząc przez pryzmat odmiennych schorzeń i dolegliwości kuracjuszy. Jednak wraz z postępem lecznictwa uzdrowiskowego, jego „unaukowieniem” i rozwojem dietetyki w ostatnich dekadach XIX i początkach XX w., pojawiło się szereg specjalistycznych diet leczniczych. Ponadto w części uzdrowisk zaczęto stosować specjalne diety dostosowane do profilu leczniczego i charakteru danej miejscowości. Tym starano się pozyskać kuracjuszy i gości. W tekście zamierzam, w oparciu o źródła różnej proweniencji, pokazać wybrane, najbardziej charakterystyczne ówczesne diety lecznicze. Ponadto staram się prześledzić czy uzdrowiska kładły nacisk na reklamowanie dietetyki i dobrej kuchni. Analizy dotyczą tzw. „krajowych” uzdrowisk, czyli galicyjskich oraz położonych w granicach Królestwa Polskiego i na Śląsku Cieszyńskim.
Relationship of Temperament during Milking with Milking Behavioural Features, Milk Yield and Udder Health of Crossbred Jersey Cows in Tropical Climate
Authors: Kumar Ajit , Mandal Dilip Kumar
Published: October 2023

Background: Milking behaviour of milch cows has notable impacts on their production efficiency. The present investigation is designed to explore the relationship of temperament while milking with other milking behavioural features, milk yield and udder health in crossbred Jersey cows. Methods: The study was done on crossbred Jersey cows (N=94) kept at ICAR-National Dairy Research Institute, Eastern Regional Station, Kalyani, West Bengal. The cows’ temperament score (TS) was judged on 5 points scale (1-docile, 5-aggressive). Calmer cows (TS-1 and 2) covered relatively higher (75.24%) proportions and no observation had shown for TS-5. Result: The temperament score was positively associated (P less than 0.01) with stepping/milking (0.72), flight speed (0.43) and exit score (0.33), while it was negatively associated (P less than 0.01) with milk yield (-0.64), milking duration (-0.61) and milk flow rate (-0.65). It was concluded from the above study that milking behavioural features are directly correlated with each other and production parameters. Dairy animals of calmer temperament were significantly high-yielders. The temperament of dairy animals did not significantly impact udder health as assessed through MCMT and somatic cell counts in milk.
