Mechanisms involved in the contraceptive effects of ulipristal acetate
Authors: Munuce María José , Gómez-Elías Matías D , Caille Adriana M , Bahamondes Luis , Cuasnicú Patricia S , Cohen Débora J
Published: November 2019

The use of emergency contraception (EC) methods is increasing worldwide as it constitutes an effective way to prevent unplanned pregnancy after unprotected sexual intercourse. During the last decade, ulipristal acetate (UPA), a selective progesterone receptor modulator, has emerged as the most effective EC pill, and it is now recommended as first-line hormonal treatment for EC in several countries. Its principal mechanism of action involves inhibition or delay of follicular rupture, but only when administered during the follicular phase before the luteinizing hormone (LH) peak. However, considering the high efficacy of UPA, it is possible that it also exerts contraceptive effects besides ovulation. In the present review, we summarize and discuss the existing evidence obtained on the effect of UPA on sperm function and post-ovulatory events as potential additional mechanisms to prevent pregnancy. The bulk of evidence collected so far indicates that UPA would not affect gamete function; however, it could impair embryo–uterine interaction. Thus, besides the described effects on ovarian function, UPA contraceptive effectiveness might also be attributed to post-ovulatory effects, depending on the moment of the female cycle in which the drug is administered.
Gene Knock-Ins in Drosophila Using Homology-Independent Insertion of Universal Donor Plasmids

Published: November 2019

Targeted genomic knock-ins are a valuable tool to probe gene function. However, knock-in methods involving homology-directed repair (HDR) can be laborious. Here, we adapt the mammalian CRISPaint [clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR)-assisted insertion tagging] homology-independent knock-in method for Drosophila melanogaster, which uses CRISPR/Cas9 and nonhomologous end joining to insert “universal” donor plasmids into the genome. Using this method in cultured S2R+ cells, we efficiently tagged four endogenous proteins with the bright fluorescent protein mNeonGreen, thereby demonstrating that an existing collection of CRISPaint universal donor plasmids is compatible with insect cells. In addition, we inserted the transgenesis marker 3xP3-red fluorescent protein into seven genes in the fly germ line, producing heritable loss-of-function alleles that were isolated by simple fluorescence screening. Unlike in cultured cells, insertions/deletions always occurred at the genomic insertion site, which prevents predictably matching the insert coding frame to the target gene. Despite this effect, we were able to isolate T2A-Gal4 insertions in four genes that serve as in vivo expression reporters. Therefore, homology-independent insertion in Drosophila is a fast and simple alternative to HDR that will enable researchers to dissect gene function.

Published: November 2019

Este artículo quiere dar a conocer un episodio que tuvo mucha importancia en la vida de la visionaria Juana de la Cruz, ya que aparece repetido en dos manuscritos: en su hagiografía y en el Libro de la casa de su comunidad. A partir de esta escena, donde Juana muestra su poder sobre la escultura de una Virgen al autorizarla como objeto de devoción, se abordarán las relaciones entre la mujer visionaria, su autorización espiritual, las imáge­nes, la doctrina de la Inmaculada y, finalmente, los grupos herejes. La primera versión del episodio es reproducida como apéndice del artículo.
Mujer y matrimonio. El interés de la Inquisición por la persecución de la bigamia
Authors: Pizarro Llorente Henar
Published: November 2019

La Inquisición española puso especial interés en poner bajo su jurisdicción la persecución de la bigamia. Si bien se trató de un delito cometido mayoritariamente por hombres, existió un número de mujeres bígamas que merecen atención. En general, fueron las víctimas de una situación social, económica y/o afectiva. En cierta manera, los inquisi­dores tuvieron en consideración estas cuestiones cuando dictaron sentencia.

Magnetic Chiral Solitons Stabilized by Oersted Field at a Thin-Film Nanocontact with Electric Current
Authors: Zaspel C. E. , Wysin G. M. , Ivanov B. A.
Published: November 2019

Static magnetic solitons in a thin film such as skyrmions are metastable states that can be stabilized through a balance of the exchange interaction and various relativistic interactions. One of the most effective stabilizing terms is the antisymmetric exchange along with others such as magnetostatic interactions in confined structures, as well as a current-carrying nanocontact on a thin ferromagnetic film. In this article, the effect of a nanocontact current on the energies of both topological (T-type) and nontopological (NT-type) solitons has been investigated. Without an antisymmetric exchange interaction, the Oersted field from a nanocontact can stabilize both soliton types with the NT soliton as the ground state. With the antisymmetric exchange, there is a critical nanocontact current, where the T soliton becomes the ground state.

Published: November 2019

Resonance properties of nanocrystalline ribbons of Fe73Cu1Nb3Si16B7 alloy annealed with the use of an electric current under a tensile stress of 180 MPa have been studied within the ferromagnetic resonance method. Two kinds of ferromagnetic regions with different anisotropic behaviors that coexist in the alloy after the annealing are detected. One of them is amorphous and weakly magnetically anisotropic, whereas the other is characterized by a pronounced uniaxial magnetic anisotropy and corresponds to the nanocrystalline phase. Quantitative estimations of magnetic parameters in two magnetic phases of the alloy are made.
To the Phenomenological theory of Avalanche-Like Effect in Dc-Biased Microwave Nonlinear HTS Transmission Line
Authors: Melnyk S. I. , Melnyk S. S. , Lavrinovich A. A. , Cherpak M. T.
Published: November 2019

A phenomenological model has been proposed to describe the avalanche-like transition of a microwave nonlinear HTSC-based transmission line into a dissipative state. This effect was observed by the authors in a dc-biased transmission line. The proposed model generalizes the well-known phenomenological model for the nonlinear HTSC-based transmission line under the action of a direct current. The character of the dependences obtained for microwave losses allows the jump-like changes in the properties of the nonlinear HTSC-based transmission line to be regarded as a fold-type catastrophe and the methodological and mathematical apparatus of the theory of catastrophes to be used in order to explain the results obtained and predict new ones.
Microwave Response of Nanostructured High-Tc Superconductor Thin Films
Authors: Borisenko P. A. , Pokusinskii A. O. , Kasatkin A. L.
Published: November 2019

A model for the microwave response of a nanostructured high-Tc superconductor (HTS) film, with implanted nanoparticles and nanorods of a dielectric material or point-like and columnar irradiation defects with a nano-sized cross-section is developed. In this case, the microwave surface resistance Rs(T,H,ω) is calculated both for the Meissner and mixed states of a superconductor film in an applied dc magnetic field. The obtained results indicate that the implantation of dielectric nanoparticles or point-like radiation defects can significantly improve superconductor characteristics at microwave frequencies. Namely, these nano-sized structural defects can decrease the surface resistance in the Meissner state and eliminate the oscillations of Abrikosov vortices and the related microwave energy losses, thus decreasing the contribution of Abrikosov vortices to the Rs value in the mixed state of a HTS film.

Pediatrician Perspectives on Feasibility and Acceptability of the MOCA-Peds 2017 Pilot
Authors: Leslie Laurel K. , Turner Adam L. , Smith Amanda C. , Dounoucos Victoria , Olmsted Murrey G. , Althouse Linda
Published: November 2019

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:

The American Board of Pediatrics (ABP) certifies that general and subspecialty pediatricians meet standards of excellence established by their peers, immediately after training and over the course of their careers (ie, Maintenance of Certification [MOC]). In 2015–2016, the ABP developed the Maintenance of Certification Assessment for Pediatrics (MOCA-Peds) as an alternative assessment to the current proctored, closed-book general pediatrics (GP) MOC examination. This article is 1 of a 2-part series examining results from the MOCA-Peds pilot in 2017.

METHODS:

We conducted quantitative and qualitative analyses with 5081 eligible pediatricians who registered to participate in the 2017 pilot; 81.4% (n = 4016) completed a quarter 4 survey and/or end-of-year survey (January 2018) and comprise the analytic sample.

RESULTS:

The majority of pediatricians considered the MOCA-Peds to be feasible and acceptable as an alternative to the proctored MOC GP examination. More than 90% of respondents indicated they would participate in the proposed MOCA-Peds model instead of the examination. Participants also offered recommendations to improve the MOCA-Peds (eg, enhanced focus of questions on outpatient GP, references provided before taking questions); the ABP is carefully considering these as the MOCA-Peds is further refined.

CONCLUSIONS:

Pilot participant feedback in 2017 suggested that the MOCA-Peds could be implemented for GP starting in January 2019, with all 15 subspecialties launched by 2022. Current and future evaluations will continue to explore feasibility, acceptability, and learning and practice change as well as sustainability of participation.

Published: November 2019

Every year the demand for energy worldwide is increasing. There are some alternatives to reduce these problems, such as clean energy or renewable energy. A particular alternative is the microbial fuel cells. These cells are biochemical reactors that convert chemical energy into electricity. The present research evaluated the dairy serum to produce bioelectricity from micro fuel cells (MFC) that were constructed with low-cost materials and with isolated bacteria in anaerobic sediments, located in Ecuadorian national territory, producing maximum voltages of 0.830 V in the circuit and a maximum power density of 30mW / m2. This low voltage was worked with 50 mL MFCs and with an output voltage of 300 mV. Under these conditions, a FLYBACK lift circuit isolated by the transformer was designed. This new circuit could increase the voltage from 30 mV to enough voltage to light a 2.5 V LED. Therefore, the energy produced by the MFC can be directly used to light a LED and to charge capacitors. This study shows that these MFCs, together with the designed circuit, could be used potentially to generate clean energy.

Significance Statement

Studies in animal models and human biopsy specimens have associated the matricellular protein periostin with CKD progression, but its role in AKI is unknown. To investigate periostin’s role in AKI in an ischemia-reperfusion injury model, they used mice with tubule-specific overexpression of periostin and mice lacking periostin expression. They also conducted in vitro studies in primary cultures of isolated tubular cells subjected to hypoxia reoxygenation. Periostin produced by damaged epithelial cells after acute ischemic injury protected epithelial cells from persistent cell cycle arrest and death and promoted a proregenerative macrophage phenotype, both of which contribute to more efficient repair of the injured epithelium. The study’s findings implicate periostin as a novel mediator of renal repair after AKI, and may provide insights into repair mechanisms after AKI.

Background

The matricellular protein periostin has been associated with CKD progression in animal models and human biopsy specimens. Periostin functions by interacting with extracellular matrix components to drive collagen fibrillogenesis and remodeling or by signaling through cell-surface integrin receptors to promote cell adhesion, migration, and proliferation. However, its role in AKI is unknown.

Methods

We used mice with conditional tubule-specific overexpression of periostin or knockout mice lacking periostin expression in the renal ischemia-reperfusion injury model, and primary cultures of isolated tubular cells in a hypoxia-reoxygenation model.

Results

Tubular epithelial cells showed strong production of periostin during the repair phase of ischemia reperfusion. Periostin overexpression protected mice from renal injury compared with controls, whereas knockout mice showed increased tubular injury and deteriorated renal function. Periostin interacted with its receptor, integrin-β1, to inhibit tubular cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in in vivo and in vitro models. After ischemia-reperfusion injury, periostin-overexpressing mice exhibited diminished expression of proinflammatory molecules and had more F4/80+ macrophages compared with knockout mice. Macrophages from periostin-overexpressing mice showed increased proliferation and expression of proregenerative factors after ischemia-reperfusion injury, whereas knockout mice exhibited the opposite. Coculturing a macrophage cell line with hypoxia-treated primary tubules overexpressing periostin, or treating such macrophages with recombinant periostin, directly induced macrophage proliferation and expression of proregenerative molecules.

Conclusions

In contrast to the detrimental role of periostin in CKD, we discovered a protective role of periostin in AKI. Our findings suggest periostin may be a novel and important mediator of mechanisms controlling renal repair after AKI.

Relevance. Humerus fractures comprise 5 to 8% of all. Nonunions are uncommon, although in cases of infection, poorly vascularized beds, and open, segmental, or severely comminuted fractures, secondary bony healing may still be compromised. In cases of decreased blood supply, the choice of a vascularised bone graft seems inevitable.

Purpose of study: analysis of effectiveness and choosing indications for Vascularized bone grafts in humeral nonunion treatment.

Patients and methods. 41 humeral nonunion surgery performed from 2010 to 2017 at a single institution: Vascularized fibular grafts were done in 38 and vascularized femoral condylar grafts used in 3 cases. OR1F performed in all cases. X-ray and CT-scan used for control in all patients.

Results. After vascularized bone grafting union achieved in 36 cases (88%) in 4 to 6 month, with vascularized fibular grafts in 33 cases and with vascularized femoral condylar grafts in 3 cases.

Conclusion. Any humeral nonunion case require individual treatment tactics. Using of vascularized bone grafts can be crucial in lack of local healing process and persistent nonunions of the humerus.

Published: November 2019

Introduction. Fixation of the acetabular component in patients with bone defects of the acetabulum is a difficult task due to the insufficient quantity and poor quality of the remaining bone tissue. During the last few years in our coun - try in arthroplasty of the acetabulum with severe bone defects were actively used implants made of trabecular metal.

Purpose of study: was to evaluate short-term clinical and radiological results of the usage of trabecular metal components in patients with bone defects in revision and primary hip replacement.

Patients and methods. 59 surgeries were performed using components of trabecular metal,53 of them were performed on the instability of the hip prosthesis,2 posttraumatic hip dysplasia,2 aseptic necrosis of the femoral head,2 high dislocation of the femoral head. Among the operated there were 37 women and 22 men, the average age was 58.219.9 years. According to the Paprosky classification, defects in 12 cases corresponded to type IIA, in 14 type IIB, in 6 type II, in 19 type IIIA, in 7 type IIIB.

The structural features of these implants, made of tantalum in a carbon skeleton with uniform porosity, similar to the structure of bone tissue, provide an increased coefficient of friction, thereby contributing to the rapid growth of bone tissue in the implant structure.

Results. The average follow-up period was 14 months. The average preoperative assessment of the hip joint by Harris Hip Score (HHS) was 43 points (from 14 to 86). After surgery, the average HHS improved to 88.7(69 to 100). 1 patient had hemorrhagic discharge after surgery. On the 7th day an audit was performed. In 2 cases, paresis of the peroneal portion of the sciatic nerve developed after surgery. There were no cases of recurrent dislocations, deep infection, pulmonary embolism or death as a result of operations.

Conclusion. Taking into account the mechanical properties, tantalum implants allow to achieve a stable primary fixation with the restoration of the center of rotation of the hip joint and eliminate the risks associated with the use of allografts.

New non-standard problem of thermocapillary convection is studied to analyze the flows arising in a two- layer system under action of an intense thermal exposure on the free boundary by a laser beam. Char- acteristics of the physical experiments are presented. Parameters of the experiments are the ratio of the liquid layer thicknesses, the types of working liquids, the absorption coefficients of media. Special atten- tion is given to the study of the influence of the system geometry when changing the thickness for one of the liquid layers. Theoretical study of the thermocapillary convection includes development of the mathe- matical model tested on the basis of new physical experiment data and of the effective numerical algorithm to calculate basic characteristics. The occurrence of the decaying oscillations, which first experimentally discovered by the authors, and the evolution of the interfaces and layers are investigated.

Authors: Tykhonenko Iryna
Published: November 2019

The article focuses on one of the current areas of European Union cooperation within the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership, namely with the Kingdom of Morocco. The official Rabat has both a historical basis for cooperation with the EU (colonial past) and an established dialogue with the European Union from associate membership to the acquisition of a special partnership status in 2008. The purpose of Morocco’s special status in the EU is to: strengthen dialogue and cooperation in the field of politics and security; gradual integration of Morocco into the EU internal market through approximation of legislation and regulations. The main directions and areas of multilateral cooperation between Morocco and the EU are highlighted especially Rabat ties with leading European powers (notably France and Spain) as implementation of bilateral level and at the level of integration with EU as political body. It is revealed that the acquisition of a special status in cooperation with the EU aims to deepen cooperation not only in the economic, security and energy spheres, but also the human dimension of bilateral relations, which affects human rights and cultural and humanitarian level of relations.

In particular, the topical agenda for bilateral Moroccan-European relations is migration issues, the problem of Western Sahara, which complicate dialogue somewhat. The leading role in Morocco’s relations with EU Member States is played by dialogue within the Francophonie, as well as interpersonal contacts in the fields of culture, education and science. These contacts are closely maintained between Morocco, France and Spain, and implemented the EU’s values policy mentioned in the Association Agreement. It is revealed that cultural cooperation plays a positive role in the fight against religious extremism and civil society building.
European integration in the program documents of political parties of Federal Republic of Germany in elections to the Bundestag 2017
Authors: Kharlan Hanna
Published: November 2019

The article covers the specific depiction of Eastern Europe in the programs of the main political forces in parliamentary elections in Germany 2017. Positions of political forces of the Federal Republic of Germany are characterized by the degree of impact to the course of political life. The election programs of the six parties (CDU / CSU, SPD, FDP, “Alliance 90 / The Greens”, “Left”, “Alternative for Germany”) that managed to overcome the barrier were analysed.

Almost all political parties that succeeded in breaking the barrier in the parliamentary elections on September 24, 2017, presented their own vision of the European direction of FRG’s foreign policy in their election programs. All parties, except the right-wing populists, spoke in favor of Germany’s active participation in the processes of European integration. Such issues as a strategy for the further development of the EU, overcoming the negative effects of the UK’s withdrawal from the EU, and the prospects of community enlargement at the expense of Turkey and the Western Balkans were the focus of political forces.

The Christian and Democratic Union / Christian and Social Union, led by Federal Chancellor A. Merkel, emphasized the need to strengthen the European Union as a subject of world politics against the background of geopolitical shifts after 2014 and the withdrawal of the UK from the EU. The Social Democratic Party of Germany, the Free Democratic Party and the “Alliance 90 / The Greens” spoke in favor of reforming the EU institutions. Instead, the far-right “Alternative for Germany” called for a radical revision of FRG’s foreign policy strategy. All political forces have noted the deterioration of the situation with democracy and human rights in Turkey, which makes it impossible for this country to enter the EU in the near future. As for membership prospects for the Western Balkans, the parties’ positions differ.

The conclusions state that the formation of another “grand coalition” led by A. Merkel testified to the stability of the foreign policy and the desire to maintain the leading role of FRG in the processes of deepening and expanding European integration.
Kryzys klasy politycznej w Europie?
Authors: Kimla Piotr
Published: November 2019

W opracowaniu stawiam pytanie, czy ludzie z prawdziwym poczuciem odpowiedzialności, prawdziwie silne osobowości polityczne mogą znaleźć miejsce we współczesnej polityce demokratycznej. Śledząc za klasykami myśli politycznej silne i słabsze strony systemu demokratycznego, dochodzę do wniosku, że sama natura tego ustroju – w spokojnych czasach – wyklucza możliwość rządzenia przez silnych przywódców politycznych. Przywódcy ci, nieskorzy do schlebiania demosowi, nie są w stanie wspiąć się na szczyty władzy. Jawią się jako ludzie politycznie indolentni.
Roman Hausner (1883–1947) – wybitny administratywista Polski międzywojennej
Authors: Kostrubiec Jarosław
Published: November 2019

Roman Henryk Hausner (1883–1947) był wysokiej rangi urzędnikiem państwowym w Ministerstwie Spraw Wewnętrznych, o bogatym dorobku publikacyjnym w dziedzinie prawa publicznego. Celem niniejszego artykułu było przedstawienie biografii Hausnera w perspektywie jego kariery urzędniczej i działalności twórczej, z uwzględnieniem roli, jaką odegrał w procesie reform administracji państwowej w Polsce międzywojennej. Z jednej strony w artykule przedstawiono w ujęciu chronologicznym życie Hausnera jako urzędnika i członka szeregu komisji do spraw reorganizacji administracji publicznej w okresie międzywojennym. Z drugiej strony zaś zaprezentowano jego poglądy w zakresie podstawowych instytucji prawa administracyjnego. Te dwa elementy nie stanowią odrębnych części artykułu, ponieważ praca w Ministerstwie Spraw Wewnętrznych i działalność pisarska Hausnera zostały przedstawione jako pewna całość. Taki obraz tworzy bowiem biografia bohatera niniejszego tekstu, który praktyczny aspekt swojej pracy jako urzędnika ściśle łączył z problematyką swojej działalności twórczej. Autor artykułu postawił tezę, że Hausner jako współtwórca ważnych projektów aktów prawnych, propagator daleko idących reform w dziedzinie ustroju administracji państwowej i płodny twórca może być uznany za znaczącą postać międzywojennej doktryny prawa administracyjnego.
Aequitas i iustitia w rzymskiej praktyce prawnej
Authors: Kuryłowicz Marek
Published: November 2019

Aequitas (słuszność) była częścią rzymskiego pojęcia prawa (ius est ars boni et aequi), które w koncepcji rzymskiej wywodziło się od sprawiedliwości (iustitia). Słuszność i sprawiedliwość w szerszym znaczeniu można odnaleźć w wielu sentencjach i regułach prawa rzymskiego, przytoczonych w niniejszym artykule. Tworzyły one ważne również dzisiaj argumenty i topiki w rozumowaniach oraz uzasadnieniach prawniczych. Kryteria słuszności i sprawiedliwości stosowane były ponadto przez jurystów rzymskich przy rozstrzyganiu konkretnych przypadków prawnych (kazusów – przykłady w tekście). Najwyraźniej odwoływał się w Rzymie do aequitas edykt pretorski. W rezultacie to właśnie prawo pretorskie, stosowane praktycznie w procesie, stało się głównym nurtem słusznościowym w prawie rzymskim. Za pretorami stała silnie działalność rzymskiej jurysprudencji, zmierzającej w ogólności do realizowania sprawiedliwości oraz upowszechniania zasad dobra i słuszności. W ten sposób juryści w swej praktycznej działalności pełnili rolę kapłanów prawa i sprawiedliwości (sacerdotes iustitiae). Idea słuszności, niesiona przez prawo rzymskie, stała się z czasem fundamentalną tezą europejskiej kultury prawnej.
Teoretyczny model przestępstwa prawa publicznego (crimen publicum) autorstwa Claudiusa Saturninusa (D. 48,19,16) a współczesna nauka o przestępstwie karnym
Authors: Amielańczyk Krzysztof
Published: November 2019

Rzymianie nie rozwinęli nauki o przestępstwie karnym, ale podejmowali próby opisania istoty i specyfiki przestępstwa prawa publicznego. Ze źródeł Justyniańskich wiadomo, że jurystą, który na taką próbę się odważył, był Claudius Saturninus. Dokonał on rozróżnienia przestępstw, koncentrując się głównie na sposobie ich popełnienia i idąc w podobnym kierunku, jak współczesna nauka podczas rozważań dotyczących tzw. przestępczego modus operandi. Rozróżnienia dokonał w dość oryginalny dwustopniowy sposób. Jurysta stworzył najpierw czwórpodział (quattuor genera) przestępstw, kierując się kryterium przypominającym kryterium formy, jakie jest przyjmowane dla czynności prawnych na gruncie prawa prywatnego. Według jurysty przestępstwa mogły być popełniane w formie facta, dicta, scripta i consilia. Na tak stworzony system quattuor genera (form, sposobów) popełnienia przestępstw karnych Claudius Saturninus nałożył następnie już bardziej szczegółowy podział okoliczności składających się na typ czynu zabronionego prawem. W ten sposób wyliczył kolejno siedem znamion (niemal wyłącznie) strony przedmiotowej przestępstwa: causa, persona, locus, tempus, qualitas, quantitas i eventus. Wszystkie sposoby i okoliczności popełnienia przestępstwa karnego jurysta zilustrował przykładami.
Z rozważań nad polskim autorytaryzmem. Pewność stanowiska sędziego w Konstytucji kwietniowej
Authors: Ławnikowicz Grzegorz
Published: November 2019

Rozważania w niniejszym artykule zostały osadzone w rzeczywistości autorytarnej Polski. Fakt ten podkreślono w tytule i uznano za okoliczność determinującą kierunek i zakres czynności badawczych. Artykuł podzielono na trzy zasadnicze części. W ramach pierwszej przypomniano o podstawowych faktach wiążących się ze statusem sądów w autorytarnej Polsce. Przyjęto szerokie rozumienie tytułowego pojęcia. Pewność jest w tym wypadku tożsama ze stabilnością stosunku służbowego i obejmuje nie tylko nieusuwalność, nieprzenaszalność i niezawieszalność, lecz także przewidywalność i transparentność awansów oraz warunków służby, zwłaszcza w zakresie kształtowania uposażeń. W drugiej części opracowania przeprowadzono analizę konstytucyjnej regulacji pewności stanowiska. Część trzecia zawiera uwagi o faktycznej roli konstytucji; obejmuje ona ustalenia mające za przedmiot sposób, w jaki uregulowano tytułową instytucję w aktach normatywnych niższego rzędu oraz uwagi o praktyce stosowania prawa. Badania prowadzą do wniosku, że pewność sędziowskiego stanowiska była iluzoryczna. Podważano ją konsekwentnie we wszystkich trzech sprzężonych ze sobą poziomach: konstytucyjnym, ustawodawstwa zwykłego i praktyki stosowania prawa.
Wznowienie i organizacja sądownictwa polskiego w Zamościu w latach 1918–1919
Authors: Bereza Arkadiusz
Published: November 2019

W czasie I wojny światowej, w lipcu 1915 r. po ewakuacji władz rosyjskich, w Zamościu i jego okolicach z inicjatywy miejscowych prawników powstało sądownictwo obywatelskie. Funkcjonowało krótko, zostało rozwiązane przez austriackie władze okupacyjne. Utrzymano jednak sądy najniższej instancji, wiążąc je instancyjnie z organami administracji okupacyjnej i sądami wojskowymi. W Zamościu funkcjonował sąd pokoju i wojskowy sąd obwodowy (powiatowy). Po wydaniu przez władców Niemiec i Austro-Węgier aktu 5 listopada z 1916 r. zgodnie z zawartą w nim zapowiedzią przystąpiono do prac mających na celu przekazanie w polskie ręce wymiaru sprawiedliwości na okupowanych terenach Królestwa Polskiego. W dniu 1 września 1917 r. otwarto sądy królewsko-polskie, a wśród nich sąd pokoju w Zamościu. W wyniku inicjatywy władz miejskich Zamościa i lokalnych organizacji społecznych Rada Regencyjna Królestwa Polskiego podjęła decyzję o utworzeniu królewsko-polskiego Sądu Okręgowego w Zamościu. Został on uroczyście otwarty w dniu 1 czerwca 1918 r., a jego prezesem mianowano dotychczasowego zamojskiego sędziego pokoju Romualda Jaśkiewicza. W skład sądu weszło czterech sędziów okręgowych, czterech sędziów śledczych, a także prokurator okręgowy i trzech podprokuratorów. Stanowiska te objęli adwokaci, prawnicy pochodzący z Galicji oraz polscy prawnicy powracający z ogarniętej wojną domową Rosji. Niższe stanowiska (np. sędziów śledczych) obsadzane były również przez pierwszych aplikantów sądowych. W latach 1918–1919 można zaobserwować spory ruch kadrowy na tych stanowiskach. Okręg zamojski obejmował cztery powiaty: zamojski, biłgorajski, hrubieszowski i tomaszowski, z działającymi na ich obszarze 19 sądami pokoju. Wśród nich były dwa sądy pokoju w Zamościu, obejmujące tzw. okręg miejski i okręg wiejski. Na ich czele stali Zygmunt Kostkiewicz i Adam Sajkiewicz. W listopadzie 1918 r. sądy zamojskie zaczęły wydawać wyroki „w imieniu Republiki Polskiej”, a niedługo potem ich siedzibą stał się wyremontowany dla tych celów pałac Zamoyskich.
Godność człowieka jako podstawa sprawiedliwości
Authors: Dziedziak Wojciech
Published: November 2019

W artykule podjęto zagadnienie podstaw sprawiedliwości. Pomimo dominujących narracji o konwencjonalnym charakterze tej kategorii przyjęto, że podstawą sprawiedliwości jest przyrodzona godność człowieka. Sprawiedliwość znajduje swą realną, bytową podstawę w godności człowieka. Tak zatem wiążąca się z samą istotą człowieka przyrodzona (wrodzona), niezbywalna, nieutracalna godność jest podstawą sprawiedliwości i jej wymogów nakazujących „oddać każdemu to, co mu się należy” (suum cuique tribuere), oddać „każdemu, co jest jego”, co jest własne, co jest należne. A chodzi o naturalne uprawnienia, prawa człowieka, z których najbardziej elementarne to prawo do życia i prawo do osobowego rozwoju. Zagwarantowanie/urealnienie tych uprawnień, podstawowych praw człowieka, nie jest kwestią jakiejś konwencji, uzgodnień, umowy, woli prawodawcy czy gier politycznych, lecz kwestią sprawiedliwości – naturalnej sprawiedliwości.
Powstanie państwa polskiego w 1918 r. we wspomnieniach dyplomaty Jana Stanisława Łosia
Authors: Marszał Maciej
Published: November 2019

Przedmiotem artykułu jest powstanie państwa polskiego we wspomnieniach polskiego dyplomaty, historyka, polityka i publicysty związanego ze środowiskiem konserwatywnym – Jana Stanisława Łosia (1890–1974). Przedstawił on interesującą interpretację odzyskania przez Polskę niepodległości, którą nazwał „wybuchem Polski”. Według niego Polska „wybuchła”, ponieważ powstała spontanicznie, w sposób niezaplanowany, przez nikogo niekontrolowany. Niepodległość była wynikiem polskiego instynktu narodowego, który spontanicznie nakazał Polakom zjednoczyć się i być niepodległymi. W artykule opisano pierwsze dni niepodległości w Lublinie, który był w listopadzie 1918 r. siedzibą Tymczasowego Rządu Polskiego. Polski dyplomata i urzędnik państwowy był świadkiem bezpośrednich wydarzeń towarzyszących odrodzeniu niepodległej Rzeczypospolitej. J.S. Łoś podał nieznane fakty i wydarzenia, dlatego jego pamiętniki, pisane w latach 70. XX w., można uważać za źródło historyczne.
