Upadłość konsumencka w prawie polskim i niemieckim a praktyka forum shopping
Authors:   Katedra Prawa Podatkowego, Wydział Prawa i Administracji Uniwersytetu Łódzkiego, Tim Artur
Published: January 2025

W artykule przedstawiono zarys polskich i niemieckich uregulowań upadłości konsumenckiej, zagadnienie transgranicznego postępowania upadłościowego w ramach Unii Europejskiej (w tym pojęcie COMI i jego elementy definicyjne w przypadku transgranicznej upadłości konsumenckiej), biorąc pod uwagę również stosunki polsko-niemieckie oraz prawodawstwo obu jurysdykcji. Ponadto, dokonywana jest analiza praktyki forum shopping oraz metod przeciwdziałania temu zjawisku na gruncie prawodawstwa unijnego. W artykule Autor przedstawia tezę, że – w zależności od stanu faktycznego – nie tylko pewne instytucje polskiej upadłości konsumenckiej wykazują atrakcyjność dla osób fizycznych posiadających COMI w Republice Federalnej Niemiec, lecz także regulacje niemieckie mogą być korzystne dla określonego kręgu osób fizycznych posiadających COMI w Polsce, co prowadzi do wniosku, iż zjawisko forum shopping może dotyczyć również relacji polsko-niemieckich, w szczególności wobec bliskości geograficznej obu jurysdykcji, dotychczasowej praktyki niemieckich konsumentów oraz zapowiadanej dalszej liberalizacji procedur polskiej upadłości konsumenckiej oraz braku dostatecznej precyzji przepisów ujednolicających reguły transgranicznej upadłości w Unii Europejskiej.
Przedawnienie roszczeń pasażerskich z umowy przewozu osób koleją
Authors:   Uniwersytet Szczeciński, Wydział Zarządzania i Ekonomiki Usług, Katedra Prawa Gospodarczego, Transportowego i Ubezpieczeń, Ambrożuk Dorota
Published: January 2025

Umowa przewozu osób koleją jest regulowana aktami prawa unijnego, krajowego i międzynarodowego, które znajdują zastosowanie zarówno do przewozów krajowych, jak i międzynarodowych. Rodzi to wątpliwości m.in. co do właściwego stosowania przepisów dotyczących przedawnienia roszczeń przysługujących pasażerom wobec przewoźników. Nie jest ono zasadniczo przedmiotem regulacji prawa unijnego. Jednakże prawo unijne inkorporuje w znacznej części konwencję CIV, która reguluje terminy przedawnienia roszczeń. Część roszczeń przysługujących pasażerom wynika bezpośrednio z konwencji CIV. Nie ma wówczas wątpliwości, że do ich przedawnienia należy stosować przepisy tej konwencji. Problem pojawia się natomiast w odniesieniu do roszczeń z tytułów uregulowanych w konwencji CIV, ale zmodyfikowanych lub uzupełnionych przepisami rozporządzenia UE nr 1371/2007, jak i co do roszczeń, których podstawa wynika wyłącznie z tego rozporządzenia. Analogiczne wątpliwości występują także w innych gałęziach transportu, np. w prawie lotniczym, gdzie były przedmiotem kilku orzeczeń TSUE. Celem opracowania jest przedstawienie powyższych zagadnień na gruncie przewozów kolejowych i próba odpowiedzi na pytanie, na ile stanowisko wypracowane w prawie lotniczym jest adekwatne do przewozów kolejowych. Zdaniem autorki mechaniczne przeniesienie poglądów wykształconych w odniesieniu do transportu lotniczego na grunt przewozów kolejowych nie powinno mieć miejsca, a to ze względu na odmienny sposób implementacji przepisów konwencji międzynarodowej do prawa unijnego oraz odmienne określenie zakresu przepisu regulującego termin przedawnienia w konwencji montrealskiej i w konwencji CIV.

A whole-organism landscape of X-inactivation in humans
Authors: Gylemo Björn , Bensberg Maike , Nestor Colm E
Published: January 2025

As females are mosaic for X-inactivation, direct determination of X-linked allelic expression in bulk tissues is typically unfeasible. Using females that are non-mosaic for X-inactivation (nmXCI) has proven a powerful and natural genetic system for profiling X-inactivation in humans. By combining allele-resolution data for one previously reported and two newly identified nmXCI females, we directly determined X-inactivation status of 380 X-linked genes across 30 normal tissues, including 198 genes for which XCI status is directly determined for the first time. Our findings represent a substantial advance in our understanding of human X-inactivation and will serve as a reference for dissecting the genetic origin of sex-bias in human traits. In addition, our study reveals nmXCI as a common feature of the human female population, with profound consequences for the penetrance and expressivity of X-linked traits in humans.

The regulation of cell physiology depends largely upon interactions of functionally distinct proteins and cellular components. These interactions may be transient or long-lived, but often affect protein motion. Measurement of protein dynamics within a cellular environment, particularly while perturbing protein function with small molecules, may enable dissection of key interactions and facilitate drug discovery; however, current approaches are limited by throughput with respect to data acquisition and analysis. As a result, studies using super-resolution imaging are typically drawing conclusions from tens of cells and a few experimental conditions tested. We addressed these limitations by developing a high-throughput single-molecule tracking (htSMT) platform for pharmacologic dissection of protein dynamics in living cells at an unprecedented scale (capable of imaging >106 cells/day and screening >104 compounds). We applied htSMT to measure the cellular dynamics of fluorescently tagged estrogen receptor (ER) and screened a diverse library to identify small molecules that perturbed ER function in real time. With this one experimental modality, we determined the potency, pathway selectivity, target engagement, and mechanism of action for identified hits. Kinetic htSMT experiments were capable of distinguishing between on-target and on-pathway modulators of ER signaling. Integrated pathway analysis recapitulated the network of known ER interaction partners and suggested potentially novel, kinase-mediated regulatory mechanisms. The sensitivity of htSMT revealed a new correlation between ER dynamics and the ability of ER antagonists to suppress cancer cell growth. Therefore, measuring protein motion at scale is a powerful method to investigate dynamic interactions among proteins and may facilitate the identification and characterization of novel therapeutics.

Authors: Zhang Jianyu , Zhang Long , Wu Yixuan , Ma Linru , Yang Feng
Published: January 2025

Uncrewed Aerial Systems (UASs) are widely implemented in safety-critical fields such as industrial production, military operations, and disaster relief. Due to the diversity and complexity of implementation scenarios, UASs have become increasingly intricate. The challenge of designing and implementing highly reliable UASs while effectively controlling development costs and improving efficiency has been a pressing issue faced by academia and industry. To address this challenge, this article aims to examine an integrated method for modeling, verification, and code generation for UASs. This article begins to utilize Architecture Analysis and Design Language (AADL) to model UASs, proposing generic UAS models. Then, formal specifications describe a system's safety properties and functions based on these models. Finally, this article introduces a method to generate flight controller codes for UASs based on the verified models. Experiments demonstrate its effectiveness in pinpointing potential vulnerabilities in UASs during the early design phase and generating viable flight controller codes from the verified models. The proposed approach can also improve the efficiency of designing and verifying high-reliability UASs.
Role of polyethylene glycol to alleviate lead stress in Raphanus sativus
Authors: Sajid Muhammad , Ahmed Shakil , Sardar Rehana , Ali Aamir , Yasin Nasim Ahmad
Published: January 2025

The continuous contamination of heavy metals (HMs) in our ecosystem due to industrialization, urbanization and other anthropogenic activities has become a serious environmental constraint to successful crop production. Lead (Pb) toxicity causes ionic, oxidative and osmotic injuries which induce various morphological, physiological, metabolic and molecular abnormalities in plants. Polyethylene glycol (PEG) is widely used to elucidate drought stress induction and alleviation mechanisms in treated plants. Some recent studies have unveiled the potential of PEG in regulating plant growth and developmental procedures including seed germination, root and shoot growth and alleviating the detrimental impacts of abiotic stresses in plants. Therefore, the current study aimed to assess the effects of seed priming with various concentrations (10%, 20%, 30% and 40%) of PEG on the growth and development of radish plants growing under Pb stress (75 mg/kg soil). Lead toxicity reduced root growth (32.89%), shoot growth (32.81%), total chlorophyll (56.25%) and protein content (58.66%) in treated plants. Similarly, plants showed reduced biomass production of root (35.48%) and shoot (31.25%) under Pb stress, while 30% PEG seed priming enhanced biomass production of root (28.57%) and shoot (35.29%) under Pb contaminated regimes. On the other hand, seedlings obtained from 30% PEG priming demonstrated a notable augmentation in the concentrations of photosynthetic pigments, antioxidative activity and biomass accumulation of the plants. PEG-treated plants showed modulations in the enzymatic activities of peroxidase (PO), catalase (CAT) and superoxide dismutase (SOD). These changes collectively played a role in mitigating the adverse effects of Pb on plant physiology. Our data revealed that PEG interceded stress extenuation encompasses numerous regulatory mechanisms including scavenging of ROS through antioxidant and non-antioxidants, improved photosynthetic activity and appropriate nutrition. Hence, it becomes necessary to elucidate the beneficial role of PEG in developing approaches for improving plant growth and stress tolerance.
A morpho-histological analysis of the exoskeleton of Clathrozoella medeae (Cnidaria, Hydrozoa) reveals insights into the taxonomy of Clathrozoellidae and Hydroidolina
Authors: Mendoza-Becerril María A. , Marques Antonio C.
Published: January 2025

The taxonomic complexity of the families Clathrozoidae and Clathrozoellidae, rooted in early 20th-century hydroid descriptions, highlights the need for comprehensive and detailed morphological analyses. This study aimed to elucidate the histology of the polypoid stage of Clathrozoella medeae Peña Cantero, Vervoort & Watson, 2003, with a particular emphasis on its exoskeletal structure. Specimens from the National Museum of Natural History were examined histologically using different staining techniques. The results revealed a three-layered mesoglea, diverse gland cells, and an exoskeleton comprising chitin and structural proteins, with notable differences from other anthoathecate hydroids. These results have significant implications for the taxonomy and evolutionary relationships of Clathrozoellidae and Hydroidolina, as they highlight the importance of detailed histological data in understanding the unique exoskeletal architecture of C. medeae, termed “exoskeleton tube”, which distinguishes it from other hydroids, and provide critical insights into the homology and phylogenetic position of Clathrozoellidae.
Autocheck: Inspection Service Application, Purchase Assistance, and Used Car Buying and Selling
Authors: Risnawan Muhamad Zaky , Avianto Donny
Published: January 2025

Cars are one of the most popular modes of transportation in Indonesia. The high demand for new cars is often accompanied by economic considerations that drive consumers to switch to used cars as a more affordable alternative. However, buying a used car carries risks, especially regarding the condition of the car, which is not always known for certain. The limited knowledge of consumers often forces them to take the car to a workshop for inspection, which is time-consuming and less efficient. To address this issue, the Auto Check application was developed to make it easier for consumers to check the condition of used cars through inspection services. This application provides features for booking inspection services, order status notifications, and transaction history, aiming to offer comfort and efficiency in the used car purchasing process. With easily accessible inspection services, this application not only provides certainty for buyers but also enhances trust between used car sellers and buyers. What sets Auto Check apart from existing solutions is its integration of real-time inspection data and transparency-focused features, which streamline the inspection process and foster trust. The application primarily targets individual buyers and sellers in the used car market, aiming to simplify their transactions and ensure informed decision-making.

Published: January 2025

A study investigating the responses of Indian mustard (Brassica juncea) to biopriming with Azotobacter, incorporation of vermicompost and their comparative analysis was performed in 2024 Rabi season in new alluvial zone at Bidhan Chandra Krishi Viswavidyalaya, Nadia district, West Bengal. The research involved ten genotypes of Indian mustard and four treatments in completely randomized design. Treatments were designed as seeds sown in field soil, Azotobacter-primed seeds in field soil, seeds sown in vermicompost mixed with field soil, and Azotobacter-primed seeds in vermicompost with field soil. Eight key parameters were considered i.e.  germination rate, seedling fresh and dry weight, seedling length, vigour index I and II, proline, and chlorophyll content. Results established improvements in germination and other growth parameters, particularly with the treatment combining Azotobacter priming and vermicompost, which presented the highest values across most genotypes. The performance of TM 306 - 1 and TBM 143 genotypes had produced the best results. The results emphasize the potential for utilizing biofertilizers and organic amendments in sustainable mustard cultivation, providing an effective substitute for chemical fertilizers.
Geospatial Patterns and Behavioural Responses of Elephants to Cattle and Mortality Risk in a Pastoralist Maasai Mara Landscape, Kenya
Authors: Korir David K. , Namu Flora , Adionyi Lilian , Siljander Mika
Published: January 2025

The unprecedented pace and scale of anthropogenic changes to environments and direct species harvesting are causing substantial wildlife species declines globally. For many species, behavioural plasticity forms the first line of response to exploitation and environments altered by humans. Although behavioural plasticity can enhance survival in altered environments, maladaptive behavioral scenarios or “evolutionary traps” can threaten the persistence of some species from anthropogenic alteration. In elephants, poaching bias towards older individuals. Altered social structures and habitats may impact decision making of elephant social groups in anthropogenic landscapes creating maladaptive responses that can amplify conflict. In this study, we examined geospatial patterns of elephant mortality risk, cattle distribution, Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and habitat protection status on elephant distribution and group-sizes at the Maasai Mara National Reserve (MMNR), Community Wildlife Conservancies (CWC) and surrounding Community Grazing Lands (CGL) in the Maasai Mara ecosystem. We also investigated how social group type, group-size, age of the oldest individual in a group and habitat openness influence elephant response to experimental cowbells. Using kernel density analyses from ten years of georeferenced clinical reports pertaining to elephant injuries and elephant mortality due to poaching, we show that elephant injuries and mortalities were highest in CWC and CGL compared to MMNR. Our study showed a positive relationship between elephant group-size with NDVI, and the risk of elephant mortality or injury. Concealed cowbells played to elephants revealed that elephant aggression towards cowbells was not influenced by matriarch age, group-size, habitat type or status of habitat protection. However, defensive bunching was positively related to the matriarch’s age, group-size and social group type. These results suggest sensitivity of older matriarchs to poaching risk and that elephants use group defense or avoidance behavioural strategies irrespective of vegetation cover.

BREVES NOTAS ACERCA DO EXERCÍCIO DA LIBERDADE DE PLANEJAMENTO FAMILIAR PELA MULHER
Authors: Rechmann Itanaina
Published: January 2025

Oficializado pela Organização das Nações Unidas em 1977, o Dia Internacional das Mulheres, celebrado todo dia 8 de março, reacende, em todas nós, a luta pela defesa dos direitos das mulheres. Essa luta, contra o sexismo e a desigualdade de gênero, há muito deixou de ser adstrita às questões laborais, e tem ganhado força em outros campos, como o da saúde. Assim como ocorre internamente no âmbito de determinados seios familiares, também no aspecto social a autonomia feminina por vezes encontra obstáculos. Isso ocorre, por exemplo, com o direito à liberdade de disposição sobre o próprio corpo conjugado ao direito a não reproduzir, ambos balizados pelo direito constitucional ao livre planejamento familiar. Recentemente o legislador pátrio avançou para viabilizar a construção de uma sociedade do cuidado, que prestigia a vontade da mulher quanto ao exercício da sua liberdade reprodutiva, desprendendo-a, cada vez mais, do poderio dos parceiros afetivos acerca da decisão de submeter-se ou não a cirurgia de laqueadura. Ainda assim, é preciso avançar no enfrentamento de outras temáticas circunscritas à defesa da saúde reprodutiva das mulheres, a exemplo da descriminalização do aborto, segundo os direitos fundamentais à autodeterminação pessoal, liberdade e intimidade.
Palavras-chave: Direitos da Mulher; Autonomia; Planejamento familiar; Saúde reprodutiva.

Authors: Bansal Radhika , Jain Karishma , Tyagi Tejaswi , Bansal Roli
Published: January 2025

With the exponential growth of e-commerce, there comes the need for compelling and detailed product visibility
descriptions that improve the customer experience in online marketplaces. The proposed work addresses the
inefficiencies of the manual creation of such descriptions by developing an AI-powered system capable of
generating precise and multilingual product descriptions directly from images. Our system automatically
extracts visual features by incorporating advanced computer vision techniques and natural language processing
models and converts them into rich, human-like textual descriptions. The proposed approach is based on the use
of state-of-the-art pre-trained deep learning models, ResNet50, and LSTMs, thus offering high accuracy,
semantic relevance, and scalability in terms of captions generation. Multilingual support via automatic
translation is also a part of the solution, providing access to global markets and allowing sellers to reach out to
linguistically diverse audiences. This innovation simplifies the listing process for sellers, empowering them to
manage large inventories efficiently while improving product visibility and accessibility. It delivers more
intuitive and trustworthy shopping experiences for customers by offering clear and descriptive product
information. By addressing the critical challenges posed by quality inconsistency, time inefficiency, and
localization, the proposed work establishes a new level of intelligent, inclusive, and scalable product listing

Published: January 2025

This paper introduces a groundbreaking method for enhancing human-computer interaction through virtual
actions using hand gestures. The suggested system employs sophisticated computer vision and machine learning
strategies, integrating MediaPipe Hands to achieve accurate detection and tracking of hand landmarks. By
converting designated hand gestures into virtual mouse actions—such as moving the cursor, left-clicking, rightclicking, double-clicking, and taking screenshots—the system offers an intuitive, touch-free way to control
computer systems. The gadget records live video with a webcam, analyzes hand landmarks, and determines the
distance and angles to precisely recognize movements. OpenCV provides effective visualization, while the
PyAutoGUI and Pynput libraries facilitate smoother mouse and keyboard interactions. This groundbreaking
method addresses accessibility challenges and has significant implications in diverse areas, including gaming,
healthcare, remote presentations, and contexts that necessitate contactless or hygienic interaction. The results of
the study demonstrate the effectiveness of gesture-based virtual activities as an intuitive, flexible, and creative engagement approach. By improving natural user interfaces, the project opens up new possibilities for humancomputer interaction in both personal and professional contexts.

This venture is dedicated to raise the quality of the image by bringing the Vision Transformer (ViT) models for the
denoising of images into the scene, a challenge in imaging processing that affects applications like medical
imaging and surveillance systems. The proposed approach is to enhance the ability of the model to distinguish
between noise and signal and thus to improve the quality of the image by optimizing attention mechanisms within
ViTs, which capture spatial dependencies across image patches. Furthermore, the concepts of new architectures
to cope with noise reduction are developed by merging principles from classic image processing and the newest
deep learning techniques. A variety of experiments using benchmark datasets display the top performance of this method, which hence demonstrates the viability of introducing ViT-based denoising with optimized attention mechanisms into the list of image enhancement.

Background:Following tooth extraction, alveolar ridge resorption, particularly in the mandible, is a chronic,
progressive process that can extend beyond the alveolar ridge in severe cases. Research indicates that despite its
dense structure, the mandibular ridge is highly susceptible to this type of resorption. This study aimed to evaluate
mandibular ridge resorption following complete denture therapy over a six-month to one-year period, assessing
changes at the masticatory centre and mental foramen. Differences between patients with complete dentures and
those without were examined to determine whether denture fabrication impacts ridge resorption.
Materials and Methods:The study was conducted over a five-year period at the Clinic for Removable
Prosthodontics, Faculty of Dentistry, in Skopje. Sixty patients (32 men and 28 women), aged 51 to 70, participated
and were divided into two groups: the first received complete dentures after an initial period of post-extraction
bone healing, while the second did not receive dentures during this time.
Results: Results demonstrated significantly lower resorption in denture-wearing patients, with a 4.3% resorption
rate at the masticatory centre and 3.1% at the mental foramen, compared to 8.5% and 6.3% in the non-denture
group, respectively (p < 0.01). This difference indicates that patients with complete dentures experience notably
reduced mandibular ridge resorption compared to those without dentures.
Conclusion: Our findings suggest that timely, well-fitting complete denture fabrication shortly after tooth extraction plays an essential role in slowing alveolar ridge resorption and preserving ridge height, with potential implications for improved patient outcomes based on cultural, social, and economic factors.

Twinkling Troubles – Understanding Deposits Over Hydrophilic IOLS
Authors: Anitha Dr K. , Mohanty Dr Preeti , Vardhan Dr Ashok
Published: January 2025

The Present case report highlights a rare but recognised complication of hydrophilic IOLS implantationcalcium deposits. Clinical observations of calcification of hydrogel IOLs were first reported in 1987. Multiple
factors are involved in the pathogenesis like IOL material, host environment, packaging, surgical instruments
such as forceps related impressions. After uneventful cataract surgery, a patient came to routine postoperative
checkup at 1 month with no ophthalmological complaints. On slitlamp examination LE showed diffuse white
powdery deposits over IOL.IOL explantation is the treatment of choice in visually significant IOL deposits.
Since the vision is good, no surgical intervention was done in the present case.Calcium deposits on hydrophilic IOLs are a known complication that may not impact vision immediately. While no immediate treatment is necessary in this case, long-term monitoring is crucial
Prevalence And Clinical Characteristics Of Sleep Disorders In Patients On Chronic Hemodialysis

Published: January 2025

Introduction: chronic hemodialysis is a current treatment in patients with advanced renal failure, the presence
of sleep disorders is characteristic due to the comorbidities they present and the water overload altering their
quality of life. Sleep disorders in patients with hemodialysis are a risk factor for morbidity and mortality and they
should receive timely treatment that will determine the evolution of the disease.
Objective: descriptive, cross-sectional study to determine the prevalence and describe the clinical characteristics
of sleep disorders in adult patients who are in a chronic hemodialysis treatment center.
Results: a total of 27 patients were included. 55% men and 45% women, the average age was 60 years. 81% of
the patients had more than 3 sessions and between 6 months and 1 year of stay in treatment. 77.7% of the patients
were highly likely to present a sleep disorder associated with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome by standardized
scales predicting sleep disorders.
Conclusion: there is a large percentage of patients with a probability of presenting sleep apnea in the population
that is on chronic hemodialysis. It is necessary to perform standardized scales of probability of sleep disorders in patients and confirm the diagnosis in a timely manner and start treatment as soon as possible. Improving their quality of life and reducing their morbidity and mortality.

Rhinosporidiosis is a Chronic infection of the mucous membrane, caused by Rhinosporidium seeberi.
Transmission of infection is through transepithelial penetration & Occular penetration, mostly affecting young
people, predominantly males with the history of bath in ponds, rivers or stagnant waters. The nose & nasopharynx
are the most common site of infection. Isolated lacrimal sac Rhinosporidiosis without nasal mass is a rare entity.
Although nasal obstruction & Epistaxis are a common presentation, patient with epiphora without any nasal mass is difficult to diagnosis. In this case patient presented with isolated Lacrimal Sac Rhinosporidosis disguising as Chronic Dacrocystitis. Patient was managed by endoscopic excision

objectifs. Notre étude s’était fixée comme objectifs : De présenter dans cet article un cas clinique d’IOP associé
à une varicelle. L’intérêt de cette présentation réside dans la rareté de telle association entre l’IOP et la varicelle
dans notre milieu ainsi l’impact des viroses sur la fonction ovarienne.
Méthodologie : Présentation d’un cas clinique et appui par une revue de la littérature.
C’est une patiente âgée suivit aux cliniques universitaires de Lubumbashi qui a présenté une aménorrhée évoluant
dépuis 4 mois avec antécédent cerebellite varicelleuse documentée par l’IRM cérébral chez qui on note un
effondrement de la fonction ovarienne :
Résultats : Labo :
AMH :0,69 ng/ml (VN :1,53-9,94) pour Intervalle de référence chez les adultes au 5
ième et 95ième percentile ; un
taux de FSH à 32,5 UI/L ; l’échographie endovaginle a fait état de 2 ovaires insuffisants et une atrophie
endometriale.
Discussion : l’insuffisance ovarienne prématurée est un problème de sante publique dans le monde, Cette
observation illustre une présentation clinique de la varicelle associée à l’insuffisance ovarienne prématurée. Le
diagnostic chez notre patiente était une aménorrhée plus de 4mois, un taux de FSH à 32,5 UI/L [1,2]. Les IOP
liées à une cause virale se révèlent le plus souvent par une aménorrhée primaire. Les signes cliniques sont
essentiellement liés à la carence ostrogénique [9,13]. Conclusion : La prévalence de l’IOP est d’environ 1 à 2 % des femmes. Très peu de données sont disponibles sur le plan de causalité entre infection virale et IOP.
