Published: December 2024

Os tumores de colisão na tireoide são extremamente raros, representando apenas 1% das malignidades tireoidianas, e envolvem a coexistência de duas neoplasias histologicamente distintas no mesmo órgão. Este relato descreve o caso de um paciente masculino, 62 anos, com carcinoma papilífero e medular síncrono da tireoide. O exame clínico revelou uma massa cervical anterior assintomática. Estudos de imagem e citologia aspirativa por agulha fina indicaram malignidade, levando à realização de tireoidectomia total. A análise histopatológica e imuno-histoquímica confirmou o diagnóstico de tumor de colisão, com positividade para calcitonina, CEA e marcadores compatíveis com ambos os tipos tumorais. O tratamento envolveu cirurgia radical, com foco na agressividade do componente medular. Devido à raridade desses casos, as diretrizes específicas de manejo são limitadas, ressaltando a necessidade de abordagens individualizadas. O monitoramento a longo prazo, incluindo marcadores séricos e exames de imagem, é essencial para a detecção precoce de recidivas. Este caso destaca a complexidade no manejo de tumores de colisão e a necessidade de mais estudos para estabelecer protocolos baseados em evidências.

O IMPACTO DA SOCIOLOGIA CRIMINAL NO CONTROLE DA CRIMINALIDADE: A EXPIAÇÃO ALÉM DA VINGANÇA SOCIAL
Authors: Vieira Natália Cristina Camargo , Netto Renata Sawaris Borges
Published: December 2024

Este estudo objetiva compreender o papel da Sociologia Criminal e da Sociologia Criminal Contemporânea na análise das causas do crime, explorando como fatores sociais, políticos, jurídicos e econômicos que contribuem para a criminalidade. O trabalho enfatiza a relação entre desigualdades sociais, falhas estatais na garantia do mínimo existencial e a perpetuação do crime, além de abordar o impacto do sistema prisional na reincidência delitiva. A metodologia empregada inclui a análise de teorias sociológicas, como as Teorias do Consenso e da Ecologia Criminal, que interpretam o crime como fenômeno social natural, e pesquisa teórico bibliográfica para avaliar a interação entre o comportamento delinquente e os sistemas jurídicos e sociais. Também é investigado o papel do direito penal como ciência normativa complementar à criminologia. Os resultados destacam que a precariedade estatal e o sistema prisional desumano favorecem a criminalidade, enquanto alternativas como educação, qualificação profissional e inclusão social apresentam potencial preventivo. O estudo aponta que medidas de prevenção são mais eficientes do que a segregação em condições degradantes. Conclui-se que uma abordagem integrada entre sociologia, criminologia e direito penal é fundamental para promover a pacificação social, equilibrando a aplicação da pena com a busca pela recuperação do indivíduo e pela redução das desigualdades sociais.
Charging, aggregation, and electrostatic dispersion of radioactive and nonradioactive particles in the atmosphere
Authors: Kim Yong-Ha , Yiacoumi Sotira , Tsouris Costas
Published: December 2024

Abstract. Electrostatic dispersion can significantly impact the microphysical behavior of charged particles and ions until reaching zero space charge. However, although radioactive particles can be strongly charged in air, the influence of electrostatic dispersion has been neglected in understanding their behavior. This study is aimed at investigating the time evolution of the charge and size distributions of radioactive and nonradioactive particles in air and developing simple approaches for applications. With processes involving charging, aggregation, and electrostatic dispersion, a comprehensive population balance model (PBM) has been developed to examine particle charge/size distribution dynamics. It is shown that compared to nonradioactive particles, the charge and size distributions of radioactive particles may evolve differently with time because radioactivity and electrostatic dispersion can significantly affect the charging and aggregation kinetics of the particles. It is found that, after the Fukushima accident, background aerosols in the pathway of radioactive plumes might be highly charged due to ionizing radiation, suggesting that radiation fields may strongly influence in situ measurements of charged atmospheric particles. The comprehensive PBM is simplified, and then the verification and application of the simplified PBMs are discussed. This study provides useful insight into how radioactivity can affect the dynamic behavior of particles in atmospheric systems including radiation sources.

Published: December 2024

Abstract. Reducing methane emissions from the oil and gas production infrastructure is a cost-effective way for limiting global warming. In 2019, a measurement campaign in southern Romania found emission rates from the oil and gas sector substantially higher than the nationally reported emissions with a few high-emitting sources (“super-emitters”) contributing disproportionately to total emissions. In 2021, our follow-up airborne remote sensing campaign, covering over 80 % of production sites, revealed a marked decrease in super-emitters. The observed change in the number of emitters is consistent with an emission reduction by 20–60 % from 2019 to 2021. This reduction is likely due to improvements in production infrastructure following the first campaign in 2019. This is further supported by additional site visits, which showed that many of the leaks identified in 2019 had indeed been mitigated. However, our top-down quantification remains higher than the bottom-up emission reports. Our study highlights the importance of measurement-based emission monitoring of climate change mitigation measures, and illustrates the value of a multi-scale assessment integrating ground-based observations with large-scale airborne mapping to capture both the primary mode of emission sources and the rare, but significant, super-emitters.

Published: December 2024

Abstract. While aerosol-cloud interactions have been extensively investigated, large knowledge gaps still exist. Atmospheric organic nitrogen (ON) species and their formation in the aqueous phase are potentially important due to their influence on aerosol optical and hygroscopic properties, and their adverse effects on human health. This study aimed to characterize the wintertime aerosol and fog chemical composition, with focus on the formation of ON, at a rural site in the Italian Po Valley. Online chemical characterization of interstitial aerosol (non-activated particles) and fog residuals (dried fog droplets) were performed in parallel. Fog residuals were sampled using a Ground-based Counterflow Virtual Impactor (GCVI) inlet and analyzed by a Soot-Particle Aerosol Mass Spectrometer (SP-AMS), while the interstitial aerosol was characterized by a High-Resolution Time of Flight AMS (HR-TOF-AMS). Our results revealed an enhancement of nitrate (NO3-; 43.3 % vs. 34.6 %), ammonium (NH4+; 15.2 % vs. 11.7 %), and sulfate (SO42-; 10.5 % vs. 6.6 %) in the fog residuals compared to the ambient non-fog aerosol, while the organic aerosol (OA; 27.6 % vs. 39.4 %) and refractory black carbon (rBC; 2.3 % vs. 6.3 %) were less abundant. An enrichment of ON was observed in the fog, mainly consisting of CxHyN1+ ions, partly originating from amines. CxHyN2+ ions, fragments linked to imidazoles were over proportionally present in the fog, suggesting aqueous-phase formation, which was verified by proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR) spectroscopy. This study demonstrates that fogs and clouds are potentially important sinks for gaseous nitrogen species and medium for aqueous production of nitrogen-containing organic aerosol in the atmosphere.
100-kyr ice age cycles as a timescale matching problem
Authors: Mitsui Takahito , Ditlevsen Peter , Boers Niklas , Crucifix Michel
Published: December 2024

Abstract. The dominant periodicity of the late Pleistocene glacial cycles is roughly 100 kyr, rather than other major astronomical periods such as 19, 23, 41, and 400 kyr. Various models explain this fact through distinct dynamical mechanisms, including synchronization of self-sustained oscillations and resonance in mono- or multi-stable systems. However, the variety of proposed models and dynamical mechanisms could obscure the essential factor for realizing the 100-kyr periodicity. We propose the hypothesis that the ice-sheet climate system responds to astronomical forcing at the ~100-kyr periodicity because the intrinsic timescale of the system is closer to 100 kyr than to other major astronomical periods. We support this idea with analyses and sensitivity studies of several simple ice age models with contrasting mechanisms.
An expert survey on chamber measurement techniques for methane fluxes
Authors: Jentzsch Katharina , van Delden Lona , Fuchs Matthias , Treat Claire C.
Published: December 2024

Abstract. Methane is an important greenhouse gas but the magnitude of global emissions in particular from natural sources remain highly uncertain. To estimate methane emissions on large spatial scales, methane flux data sets from field measurements collected and processed by many different researchers must be combined. We hypothesize that considerable uncertainty might be introduced into such data synthesis products by the many different approaches used to collect, process and quality control chamber measurements of methane fluxes within the flux community. Existing guidelines on chamber measurements promote more standardized measurement and processing techniques but to our knowledge, so far, no study has investigated which methods are actually used within the flux community. Therefore, we aimed to identify major differences between the approaches for chamber methane fluxes used by different researchers. We conducted an expert survey to collect information on chamber-based methane flux measurements, including field sites, research questions, measurement setups and routines as well as data processing and quality control of data. We received 36 responses from researchers in North America, Europe, and Asia which indicated that 80 % of respondents have adopted high-frequency, multi-gas analyzers with most measurement times falling between 2 and 5 minutes. Most but not all of the respondents use recommended chamber designs, including such as airtight sealing, fans, and a pressure vent. We asked about the participants’ approach to quality control and presented a standardized set of methane concentrations from observed flux measurements, then included this information for flux calculations. The responses showed broad disagreement among the experts on processes resulting in nonlinear methane concentration increases. Based on the expert responses, we estimated an uncertainty of 28 % introduced by different researchers deciding differently on discarding vs. accepting a measurement when processing a representative data set of chamber measurement. Different researchers choosing different time periods within the same measurement for flux calculation caused an additional uncertainty of 17 %. Our study highlights the need to understand drivers of the patterns visible from high-resolution analyzers and standardized procedures and guidelines for future chamber methane flux measurements. This is highly important to reliably quantify methane fluxes all over the world.
GHRSAT: the first global hourly dataset of all-sky remotely sensed estimates of surface air temperature
Authors: Zhang Zhenwei , Wang Ke , Liang Chen , You Zihan , Yi Zishang
Published: December 2024

Abstract. Spatially continuous surface air temperature (SAT) is critically important for a wide range of fields such as eco-environmental assessments and hydrology. Remotely sensed estimation models based on satellite-derived thermal infrared data provides a structurally different approach for reconstructing SAT compared to spatial interpolation of ground observations of SAT and numerical modelling, which are mainly limited by the coverage of stations and coarse spatial resolutions, respectively. However, the data products of remotely sensed estimates of SAT developed in previous studies are only available at daily or monthly resolutions, and are primarily restricted for local regions. In this study, we generated the first hourly dataset (GHRSAT) of all-sky remotely sensed SAT estimates for the global land areas except Antarctica between 2011 and 2023. The hourly estimates in GHRSAT were reconstructed from land surface temperature using the hybrid estimation models that integrate random forest (RK) models and kriging techniques. The hybrid models were developed for different regions on a monthly basis. We adopted ordinary kriging (OK) and fixed rank kriging (FRK) in the modelling of the site residuals from the RF models for regions with low-density and high-density stations, respectively. Our results show that the hybrid models for generating GHRSAT have the predictive performance between 1.48 °C to 2.28 °C in overall cross-validation RMSE. The mean RMSE for estimating hourly SAT can be significantly reduced by 0.18–0.41 °C by the hybrid models compared to the RF models. We analyzed the variability in the predictive errors of estimating hourly SAT across regions, months and sites. The variability is apparently decreased when using the hybrid models. We found that the RF models are less sensitive to the parameter tuning of the RF models, which greatly impacts the hybrid models. Improving the RF models by parameter tuning can drastically improve the hybrid models based on the RF models. Additionally, we found the performance difference between OK and FRK in developing the hybrid models for regions with large amounts of stations is slight with the mean RMSE of 0.05 °C. In summary, the scheme of the hybrid models can result in satisfactorily higher performance for estimating SAT, and has the general practicability of applying to regions at various scales. The GHRSAT dataset is publicly available at http://doi.org/10.11888/RemoteSen.tpdc.301540 (Zhang, 2024).
Cosmogenic 21Ne exposure ages on late Pleistocene moraines in Lassen Volcanic National Park, California, USA

Published: December 2024

Abstract. We report new cosmogenic 21Ne in quartz exposure ages from 18 samples on three distinct moraines deposited in the Lost Creek drainage, approximately 3–7 km down-valley from Lassen Peak in Lassen Volcanic National Park. Although measuring 21Ne in quartz is generally straightforward, accurate 21Ne exposure dating of deposits of late Pleistocene is rarely possible due to the significant quantities of non-cosmogenic 21Ne present in most lithologies. Young quartz-bearing volcanic rocks have been observed to be an exception. We take advantage of moraine boulders sourced from the ∼ 28 ka dacite of Lassen Peak to generate a chronology of alpine deglaciation in Lassen Volcanic National Park. Ages from three distinct moraines are in stratigraphic order at 22.1 ± 3.8, 20.2 ± 2.4, and 15.3 ± 3.8 ka and generally agree with other terminal and some recessional moraine ages across the Cascade Range and Sierra Nevada of the western United States. To date, these are among the youngest surfaces ever dated using cosmogenic 21Ne and provide a cost-effective proof-of-concept approach to dating moraines where applicable.
Enhancing Inverse Modeling in Groundwater Systems through Machine Learning: A Comprehensive Comparative Study

Published: December 2024

Abstract. Machine learning has significantly improved inverse modeling for groundwater systems. One promising development is the tandem neural network architecture (TNNA), which integrates surrogate modeling and reverse mapping for efficient forward simulations and data assimilation. Although TNNA has shown success in groundwater inverse modeling, its application scenarios remain limited, and its advantages over conventional methods have not been fully explored. This paper aims to address these gaps by comparing the TNNA method with four conventional metaheuristic algorithms: Particle Swarm Optimization, Genetic Algorithm, Simulated Annealing, and Differential Evolution. Two synthetic solute transport numerical cases are designed, with aquifer parameters characterized by low- and high-dimensional scenarios, respectively. The surrogate model is constructed using a deep residual convolutional neural network (ResNet), selected based on a comparative evaluation against three other popular machine learning models. Inversion performance is evaluated based on the accuracy of calibrated hydraulic heads, solute concentrations, and parameter estimation errors. The results demonstrate that the TNNA algorithm yields more reliable inversion results and significantly reduces computational burden across both low- and high-dimensional cases, effectively balancing exploration and exploitation in global optimization. This study highlights the significant advantages of machine learning in advancing groundwater system inversions.
Hyper-Resolution Land Surface Modeling for Farm-Scale Soil Moisture in India: Enhancing Simulations with Soil Vertical Heterogeneity

Published: December 2024

Abstract. Estimation of field-scale surface and rootzone soil moisture (SM) is crucial for agriculture water management. When ground observations are not available, Land Surface Models (LSMs) aid in reconstructing historical dynamics and providing predictions. However, they often run at coarse resolution (in the order of tens of kilometers), overlook subgrid processes (e.g., lateral flow), and thus underestimating the SM spatial heterogeneity. Considering this limitation, we applied the Noah-MP LSM with the HydroBlocks hyper-resolution modeling framework to estimate surface and rootzone SM at field scale (effective 30 meters resolution) for the first time in India. Recognizing the importance of rootzone processes for agriculture, the present study attempts to improve high-resolution rootzone SM simulations by incorporating vertical heterogeneity in soil properties into HydroBlocks using the SoilGrids global soil database. The analysis is carried out in Upper Bhima Basin (a subbasin of Krishna Basin) for 2020 with ERA5-Land meteorological forcing. HydroBlocks simulations, configured with vertically homogeneous (VHom) and vertically heterogeneous (VHet) soil properties, were compared against GLEAM, ERA5-Land, SMAP-L3, and SMAP-L4, revealing temporal consistency (correlation between 0.76 and 0.94) and improved sub-grid (up to 0.2 m3m-3) and spatial variability (σθ), in particular VHet (σθ = 0.093 m3m-3) higher than VHom (σθ = 0.09 m3m-3). Both HydroBlocks configurations show reasonable performance against in situ SM observations, with VHet showing systematic improvement compared to VHom by reducing the bias in all sub surface layers and a higher correlation (0.60) than VHom (0.59) at deeper layer (0–60 cm). Finally, we performed a Sobol sensitivity analysis to investigate the seasonal sensitivity of soil on HydroBlocks (VHet) SM simulations for the first five soil layers (up to 1 meter depth). Results revealed that soil parameters interact more prominently in the surface layer and during monsoons. Soil porosity (MAXSMC), Brooks-Corey parameter (BB), and SM at wilting point (WLTSMC) are significant parameters across seasons. Their order of significance changes from surface to deeper layers; however, they remain consistent beyond 30 cm depth. This study finds that the hyper-resolution LSM with vertical soil heterogeneity can enhance small-scale SM simulations by accounting for varying parameter importance, interactions, and seasonal effects within the soil column.

Produktion of Shallot (Allium cepa L.) Crops on Various Fertilizer Do Sage Levels
Authors: Ali Akhmad , Sangadji Ismail , Soekamto Mira Herwati
Published: December 2024

Shallots are a flavor and aroma enhancer, one of the leading vegetable crop commodities that farmers have been cultivating intensively for a long time. This is because shallots have quite high economic value. Even though farmers' interest in shallots is quite strong, various obstacles are still encountered in the business process, both technical and economic (Sumarni and Hidayat, 2015). Red onion consumption in Indonesia is 4.56 kg/capita per year or 0.38 kg/capita per month, so national consumption is estimated to reach 1,608,000 tons per year (Directorate General of Horticulture, 2017). This proves that the availability of shallots in the country is not sufficient for the high demand of consumers, thus shallot productivity needs to be increased further. One of the factors that influences national shallot production is the condition of the soil which lacks nutrients due to continuous use by farmers. Efforts are needed to apply appropriate technology to increase shallot production yields. One technology that can be applied in cultivating shallot plants due to soil lacking nutrients is fertilization. The results show the fertilizer dosage treatment. Where this dosage level produces the best growth components (plant height and number of leaves) and production components (wet stover weight and dry stover weight) for shallot plants.

Published: December 2024

This study explores the potential of weeds as a source of green fertilizer to increase the growth and production of local Tidore chilli plants (Capsicum annuum L) on marginal land. Using a Random Group Design, five green manure treatments were tested, namely without green manure (control), Clotalaria juncea, Ageratum conyzoides, Cassia tora, and Colopogonium mucanoides. The analysis showed that using Crotalaria juncea green fertilizer significantly impacted plant height, number of primary branches, petioles, and flowers and fruits. This green fertilizer also increases the fruit's fresh weight, with the highest average reaching 296.50 g in the 4th harvest. These findings show that using weeds as green fertilizer can be a sustainable alternative to improve soil fertility and agricultural productivity on marginal land.

Inside the house of fiction: The creative-critical possibility of Gerald Murnane’s A Million Windows
Authors: Mackey Reuben
Published: December 2024

To grapple with the meaning of creative-critical writing today, it is necessary to begin from within literature. Too often, literary critics take up a disinterested position outside the text, which foregoes the ways in which the critic is always entangled with the text’s meanings. Through a reading of Gerald Murnane’s A Million Windows (2014), I propose a model for how a critic might read from within a literary text. I demonstrate how Murnane’s fiction – through the use of estrangement – entangles the reader-critic into performing acts of extension, rather than explication. With Murnane’s fiction, a critic must embrace – extend themselves into – a fictional landscape where “it [is] impossible to accept that the last page of a book of fiction was any sort of boundary or limit” (Murnane, 2014, p. 20). Such extended reading opens new possibilities for criticism’s form.
Archival versos: Unwritten, unread, unreadable, unwritable
Authors: Wright David Thomas Henry
Published: December 2024

A “verso” is the side of a leaf that is to be read second. British conceptual artist Cornelia Parker uses the term in her practice to show the deconstruction of everyday objects, and how “even the most insignificant things can trigger a deeper meaning” (2016). This paper uses a Calvino-inspired creativecritical approach toward archival research to explore potential “versos” in archived text. It explores this from four viewpoints: the unwritten, unread, unreadable and unwritable. This exploration is founded on a claim by Italo Calvino: “We write to give the unwritten world a chance to express itself through us” (1983). From the unwritten, this paper moves to the unread as embodied by “unreadable” programming language as verso in digital writing. The final aspects – “unreadable” and “unwritable” – focus on my attempts to read Georges Perec’s materials at the UQ Fryer Library. In August 1981, Perec was writer-in-residence in the French Department, during which he intended to write a novel in fifty-three days, titled 53 Days. My first attempt to read the materials found them “missing”. When located, the notes on offer were not sufficient to comprehend Perec’s proposed unfinished project. I therefore use “unreadable” programming language to program poetry from Perec’s archival remains to explore digital methodological approaches to contemporary creative writing.
Writing through … from … to … underneath … over … in between … negotiating the force field of the unworded in the braided thesis mode
Authors: Webster Mags
Published: December 2024

Words aloud the page, aloud the dab and dash of a pen, the swish of wrist, the nib is avatar, the ink is silent virus, moldwarp burrowing along, just beneath the surface, there I am, trying to slip between the nib and that which would be scratched out from my fingers, hand and arm. Trying to eke the groove of thought, its carve through language skin. Creative and critical writing hold in tension between them a force field that is essentially implicit and unworded. It is here that my practice-based and theoretical research, concerned with how a contemporary poetic practice might thematically and artistically engage with the unsaid and the unsayable, seeks to play. My focus is on apophasis, the rhetoric of denial and negation, which since classical times has been a means of using language to deal with what lies beyond language. Taking a braided form, this paper reflects on the process and experience of producing a blended thesis in order to explore, through an apophatic lens, the implications of collapsing the distance between creative and critical modes to write into and out of the force field of un-wordedness.
Kings, clowns and trumps: Creative-exegetical irony in the creative writing HDR thesis
Authors: Noakes Caitlin
Published: December 2024

Bahktin argues that the novel subsumes elements of the medieval carnival, including the rehearsal and collapse of competing social discourses to generate new meaning. Williams’ performative exegesis (2016) and Krauth and Nash’s creative-exegetical (2019) are academic forms of the creativecritical genre that simultaneously perform exegetical and creative work. Historically within the academy, academic texts like exegeses are perceived as not only distinct from creative writing, but also better for creating and communicating research findings. However, by applying Bakhtin’s understanding of the carnivalised novel, performative exegeses and creative-exegetical texts can be seen to generate hybrid, ironic utterances that collapse this epistemological hierarchy and undermine the perceived distinctions between creative and academic exegetical writing. These utterances can be categorised into three kinds of creative-exegetical irony: king-clown utterances, where creative text does academic exegetical work; clown-king utterances, where “academic” exegetical text does creative work; and trump utterances, which are indistinguishably both creative and academic. Such utterances are a defining feature of the creativecritical genre’s capacity for innovation in form and meaning, particularly within creative writing higher degree by research (HDR) theses.
Braiding the exegetical voice through creative nonfiction research
Authors: Le Rossignol Karen , Elliott-Ryan Hayley
Published: December 2024

Finding or developing an exegetical voice may be confronting for the nascent writer-as-researcher: they must transition from undergraduate disciplinary skills and knowledge acquisition to postgraduate research, and grapple with creative/critical research thesis requirements. Applying the authors’ experiences supervising creative writing research candidates through Honours and Masters research projects, and in teaching the unit Manifestos at Deakin University, this paper will explore ways of traversing the perceived gap between creative and critical writing to help develop a creative/critical voice appropriate to the exegesis. To do so, this paper focuses on the experiential or personal essay form of creative nonfiction to initially identify the writer’s personal voice through a process of interweaving threads of the autobiographical, data or the factual, and the universal (Huxley, 1959). A writer’s manifesto, composed as part of a research program, then enables emerging writer-as-researchers to consolidate that voice as a bridge to writing their exegesis. Bringing together these aspects of writerly voice may lead to a complex exegetical pattern as a response to the tensions between the creative and critical in research: something like the braid this paper attempts to emulate in its structure. This paper argues that the exegesis is an experiment in voice balancing fragmentation and cohesion with a manifesto-style belief in the writing process, and creative responses to theory as rigorous approaches to research.
Creativecritical writing as methodology
Authors: Ellis Melody
Published: December 2024

The traditional view of theory as necessarily distinct from creativity has become increasingly unsatisfactory. In response to such dissatisfaction writers and scholars such as Maggie Nelson, Christina Sharpe, Michael Taussig, Saidiya Hartman, McKenzie Wark, Stephen Muecke, Joan Rettalack and others have introduced into the theoretical field qualities associated with creative writing – including, anecdote, memory, poetics and play. In doing so they have expanded the boundaries of what counts as theory and why. In Depression: a public feeling, literary and affect theorist Ann Cvetkovich argues for her use of memoir as a research methodology. She writes: “While I could have written a critical essay that analysed the genre [of depression memoirs], the results seemed rather predictable” (2012, p. 78). This article takes up Cvetkovitch’s desire for a mode “beyond” the predictable to argue that creativecritical writing might be better understood as a methodology than as a genre of writing. It claims the most radical aspect of the creativecritical mode is not so much the refusal of the critical/creative, nonfiction/fiction, objective/personal binaries, as what the doing of the refusal surfaces and therefore demands of the writer.
Ochrona środowiska naturalnego w świetle kognitywnych analiz kryminologicznych
Authors: Błandynowicz Andrzej
Published: December 2024

Prawo karne jest mało skuteczne w kwestiach zapobiegania stale postępującej degradacji środowiska naturalnego człowieka. Problematyka przestępstw przeciwko środowisku stała się jednak w ostatnim czasie przedmiotem zainteresowania prawa karnego zarówno na gruncie regulacji wewnętrznych, jak i na gruncie prawa międzynarodowego.
W zasadniczej dla rozważań niniejszej pracy dyrektywie Parlamentu Europejskiego i Rady Unii Europejskiej w sprawie ochrony środowiska poprzez prawo karne z dnia 19 listopada 2008 r. czytamy, iż „Wspólnota jest zaniepokojona znacznym wzrostem przestępstw przeciwko środowisku i ich skutkami, które w coraz większym stopniu wykraczają poza granice państw, w których przestępstwa te są popełniane. Takie przestępstwa stanowią zagrożenie dla środowiska i w związku z tym wymagają stosownej reakcji”. W dalszej części preambuły czytamy, iż dotychczasowe systemy sankcji uznano za niewystarczające do zapewnienia pełnego przestrzegania przepisów w zakresie ochrony środowiska, dlatego też wzmocnienie tej ochrony poprzez zastosowanie sankcji karnych wydaje się nieodzowne, jako oznaka społecznego potępienia o charakterze bardziej odstraszającym niż sankcje administracyjne czy mechanizmy odszkodowawcze stosowane w ramach prawa cywilnego.
Nie zatrzymując się w tym miejscu na analizie wspomnianej dyrektywy, dodać należy jedynie, że akt ten określa katalog czynów i zachowań, które kraje wspólnotowe obowiązane są uznać za przestępstwa karne oraz obliguje kraje wspólnotowe do zapewnienia odpowiedzialności również osób prawnych za przestępstwa przeciwko środowisku.
Prawo karne dotyczące środowiska naturalnego staje na szczególnej pozycji w porządku prawnym – z jednej strony jest ustanowione jako regulacja prawa ochrony środowiska, prawa administracyjnego, z drugiej strony podlega zasadom właściwym prawu karnemu. Istotne dla skuteczności systemu prawnego znaczenie ma więc dostosowanie instytucji prawa karnego do bardzo młodej, niezbadanej dziedziny, jaką jest ochrona środowiska.
Glosa do wyroku Sądu Najwyższego z dnia 13 października 2021 r., sygn. I NSNk 1/21
Authors: Maroń Grzegorz
Published: December 2024

Artykuł stanowi komentarz do wyroku Sądu Najwyższego z dnia 13 października 2021 r., sygn. I NSNk 1/21. Orzeczeniem tym uznano, że dziennikarz określając proaborcyjny tzw. czarny protest w internetowym programie telewizyjnym m.in. jako „spęd neonazistek”, „spęd feminazistek”, „nazizm” i używając pod adresem manifestujących określeń takich jak m.in. „banda skończonych jełopów” i „durniów totalnych” nie popełnił przestępstwa zniesławienia (art. 212 k.k.) na szkodę jednej z uczestniczek zgromadzenia. Sąd zasadnie przyjął, powołując się zwłaszcza na orzecznictwo strasburskie, że sama obraźliwość wypowiedzi nie przesądza o ich zniesławiającym charakterze w rozumieniu prawa karnego. Prawidłowe użycie wobec niezindywidualizowanej osoby obraźliwych terminów dokonane w ramach debaty publicznej na społecznie ważne zagadnienie nie potraktowano in concreto za przestępstwo zniesławienia. Rację ma też Sąd Najwyższy podnosząc wymóg, aby sądy rozpoznające sprawy z art. 212 k.k. zachowały neutralność i bezstronność wobec poglądów prezentowanych w pluralistycznym i demokratycznym społeczeństwie, niesymetrycznie nie ograniczając dyskursu publicznego. Sceptycznie natomiast należy odnieść się do posłużenia się przez Sąd Najwyższy kategorią pojęciową i normatywną „prawa do obrażania” innych.
