O TEÓLOGO E O POETA: TEOPOÉTICA
Authors: Fernando Bauwelz Joanicio
Published: January 2025

O livro de Joanicio Fernando Bauwelz é uma das ricas contribuições sobre a pesquisa de teopoética no Brasil. Insere-se dentro da tentativa de repensar o discurso teológico confessional em diálogo com a literatura. Poderia ser entendido aqui como uma forma de explorar o ver literário para, a partir desse horizonte, estabelecer uma intertextualidade e, no caso da aproximação do contexto da teologia brasileira com a literatura espanhola, também atentar para a questão da interculturalidade. Poder-se-ia pensar a obra, parafraseando Ortega y Gasset, especialmente aqui trabalhada. A teopoética de Bauwelz se situa na triangulação hermenêutica da condição humana, Deus e as circunstâncias literárias em que emerge a refeitura do sentido de Deus na busca de sentido humano, tarefa que é entendida como uma diaconia à comunidade eclesial e à cultura contemporânea.
Ungarn und Byzanz im Mittelalter aus globaler Sicht
Authors: Schreiner Peter
Published: January 2025

Since many details in the relations between Byzantium and Hungary have already been covered in research, this article attempts to point out the transnational connections between the two states. Hungary had been a constant factor of Byzantine policy in the Balkans since it had become a stately consolidated Christian kingdom around 1000. This was of particular importance after the victory over Bulgaria in 1018 made the Byzantine Empire a territorial neighbour for almost 200 years. During this period, not only important marriage ties between the ruling houses fall, but also the establishment of members of the Arpadian house in Constantinople. In the 13th century, for Byzantium, the connection with the Hungarian royal house was a protection against Charles of Anjou in lower Italy and his plans for the conquest of the Eastern Roman Empire. In the second half of the 14th century and in the 15th century Hungary became the main ally of the Emperor of Constantinople against the Ottomans. However, the profound social and ecclesiastical differences between the Eastern Roman Empire and Hungary made it impossible for Hungary to be included in the cultural community of the Byzantine Commonwealth.

Bone grafting is a surgical procedure that replaces missing bone with material from patient′s own body an artificial or natural substitute. Bone grafting is possible because bone tissue has the ability to regenerate completely if provided the space into which it has to grow. As natural bone grows, it generally replaces the graft material completely, resulting in a fully integrated region of new bone. The goal of this study was to analyze and compare the stress and strain distribution between the fully threaded and partially threaded screws fixation in the bone grafting.
For this study, the stress field was evaluated numerically by three-dimensional finite element method using the Abaqus calculation code. An autogenous bone graft was used in an area where there is insufficient bone volume to ensure good anchoring of the implant in the jawbone. This bone block is tightened with screws of different thread length. The impact simulates a mechanical shock exerted on the bone graft and on the bone following a punch or accident of the patient. This is the originality of this work.
Different bone grafting modalities can be proposed to increase the height of the available bone or its width, in one or more sectors for the placement of dental implants. The bone graft is fixed by different shapes screws in the case of blocks. The most im-portant von Mises stresses are due to the impact of a projectile at an angle of + 30 ° and also by the shape of the screw.
The maximum stress intensity of the fully threaded screw remains relatively low com-pared to the fully threaded screw is 77 %. This decrease in stress is probably due to the decrease in the number of threads in the screw. the highest stress level is in the middle of the first screw (01) and this is probably due to the bending of the latter under the effect of oblique and horizontal loads. The two screws 2 and 3 behave practically in the same way, they are in compression and the maximum stresses are located at the level of the first thread of the screw

Published: January 2025

Calculation of mechanical characteristics of spongy bone tissue is an urgent task in orthopedics, as it allows to assess the risk of loosening of implanted structures during various types of corrective surgeries. Insufficient quality of bone tissue, determined by its mineral density, is one of the possible predictors of instability of fixation of the installed structure. In the literature, there are often articles devoted to the relationship between the strength properties of bone tissue and its density.
This paper describes the developed algorithm for automatic processing of the results of experiments to determine the mechanical characteristics of spongy bone tissue of the human femoral heads, as well as the knee joint and vertebrae of cattle. For primary data processing, the moving average method was used. Primary processing is necessary to exclude redundant data from the deformation curve. After primary processing, the ultimate strength was determined from the stress-strain diagram as a global maximum, that is, the maximum stress value in MPa.
Determining the Young's modulus comes down to finding a linear section of the stress-strain curve. The search is carried out on the section from the first point to the point with the maximum load. The abscissa axis corresponding to this section is divided into N equal segments. The least squares method is used to calculate the slope of the line approximating the curve on each segment. From the resulting set of segments with calculated slope angles, a pair of adjacent ones with the largest sum of angles is selected. The segment from the selected pair, for which the calculated angle is the largest, corresponds to the desired linear section of the curve.
Automation made it possible to process a large number of experimental results in a short time, as well as to cluster the results obtained earlier.
Regression relationships were obtained for the strength limits and Young's moduli of spongy bone tissue of the femoral heads, as well as the knee joint and vertebrae of cattle, allowing these characteristics to be calculated using Hounsfield units.
Aortic valve leaflets motion trajectories tracking by using echocardiography data
Authors:   Perm National Research Polytechnic University, Pil Nikita , Kuchumov Alex
Published: January 2025

A new approach is proposed for evaluating the motion trajectories of aortic valve leaflets throughout the cardiac cycle based on echocardiography data, aimed at subsequently determining their mechanical properties. The non-invasive nature of this method presents a significant advantage over existing experimental techniques for assessing the mechanical properties of soft tissues, which often involve invasive procedures and are limited by sample availability and ethical considerations.
In this study, a software module was developed to track the movement of control points marked on the aortic valve leaflet, using computer vision algorithms applied to echocardiography video data. The program utilizes a neural network based on the YOLOv8 library for semantic segmentation and object detection, enabling precise identification and real-time tracking of the valve leaflets.
The software was initially validated on model data to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the tracking algorithm. It was then applied to real echocardiography data, successfully reconstructing the trajectories of the aortic valve leaflets throughout the cardiac cycle. These trajectories can be used in conjunction with mathematical models to determine the mechanical properties of the valve leaflets using optimization methods.
The proposed method represents a non-invasive, efficient, and accurate means of assessing the dynamic behavior of aortic valve leaflets, potentially contributing to improved diagnosis and treatment planning for patients with aortic valve diseases. Further development of this approach may lead to a deeper understanding of the valve's mechanical characteristics and enhance surgical outcomes.

Studying the current values of Russian youth
Authors: Davletshina Elvira
Published: January 2025

The study of the value orientations of young people is an important task within the sociology of culture, and this aspect becomes especially relevant in the modern world, where changes occur at incredible speed. This article presents the results of a sociological study, the purpose of which was to find key values of modern youth in Russia. The study was conducted using a survey method. The results showed that among the leading values of young people, family comes first. Young people view family as a source of support and stability. In second place is health, which indicates an awareness of the need to take care of one’s physical and mental state. In the modern world, where stress and anxiety have become common companions, attention to health is becoming increasingly important. Career occupies third position in the list of values, which reflects the desire of young people for self-realization and professional growth. A successful career can provide not only financial independence, but also the opportunity to realize your ambitions. The findings indicate that the values of modern Russian youth are shaped by various factors, including social, economic, and cultural changes. Understanding these values is essential not only for sociologists but also for educators, employers, and anyone engaging with young audiences. This knowledge can inform the development of projects aimed at supporting and empowering young people, thereby contributing to the creation of a more harmonious and sustainable society.

ABSTRACT The utilization of high-quality seedlings can be an effective strategy for restoring degraded areas. This study aimed to evaluate the production of Cariniana estrellensis and Gallesia integrifolia seedlings using shading levels and the growth of these seedlings in reforestation areas. From November/21 to March/22, the seedlings’ height and stem diameter were evaluated, and after 103 days, the leaf area, biomass, Dickson quality index and water yield were determined. Each species constituted a distinct experiment, arranged in a randomized block design with four treatments (shading levels of 0, 37.6, 49.4, and 75.8%) and four repetitions, with ten seedlings per repetition. The seedlings were produced in 280 mL tubes filled with biosolids and irrigated by drip with an automatic activation system. Considering water from rain and supplementary irrigation, C. estrellensis seedlings received, on average, 3.94, 3.60, 3.37, and 2.97 L per plant, while G. integrifolia seedlings received 3.83, 3.63, 3.99, and 3.31 L per plant, respectively, during the cycle. The highest water yields were found in seedlings that received the largest volume of water. C. estrellensis seedlings produced under 49.4 and 75.8% shading showed greater growth, and one year after transplanting reached, on average, heights of 76.0 and 72.3 cm, respectively. G. integrifolia seedlings produced under 49.4% shading showed greater performance during the nursery phase and better adaptation after transplanting.

Published: January 2025

Fusarium crown root rot caused by F. solani is one of the most important diseases that limiting cucumber cultivation all around the world. There is more than one way to deal with this disease, but sometimes these practises may be insufficient. For this reason, the use of resistant varieties and rootstocks gains importance in the control of soil-borne diseases. The objectives of this study are to determine the resistance of breeding materials to fusarium and to evaluate their rootstock performance and to reveal their effects on fruit yield and quality. To determine the Fusarium resistance level, 48 breeding materials were tested and four moderate resistant materials were grafted onto the hybrid Gordion variety. The effects of grafted plants on fruit yield and vegetative growth were evaluated. Early yield was also significantly higher in grafted plants than in the ungrafted control. Strongtosa had the highest fruit per plant, followed by RS 841 and 13×18 hybrid rootstock. Although higher yields were generally obtained in grafted plants compared to the control group. Additinally fruit length, fruit diameter, fruit shape index, fruit firmness and panel test were evaluated in grafted plants. These materials used as rootstocks increased plant growth and yield.

Published: January 2025

Antecedentes: actualmente, tanto el cambio climático como la malnutrición están presentes en todos los países del mundo. La doble carga nutricional (deficiencias-excesos) en todos sus niveles está relacionada con la seguridad alimentaria y el cambio climático, no solo en cuanto a disponibilidad de alimentos, sino por fenómenos como las crisis económicas, aumento en los precios de alimentos, transculturización, pérdida de la biodiversidad alimentaria y adopción de nuevos patrones de alimentación occidentalizados. Reflexión: el resultado de la interacción entre doble carga, seguridad alimentaria y nutricional y el cambio climático es un problema de preocupación mundial que debe ser atendido más allá de la disponibilidad de alimentos, pues afecta la salud de millones de personas en el mundo y plantea retos significativos para la sostenibilidad y el futuro del planeta. Conclusión: en resumen, la doble carga nutricional, la seguridad alimentaria y nutricional, y el cambio climático forman un triple desafío para la salud global. Estos tres factores están estrechamente interconectados y se refuerzan mutuamente; así, generan un ciclo vicioso que afecta negativamente a la población mundial, especialmente a las comunidades más vulnerables.
Unearthing fault lines and tracing shifts:
Authors: Forster Dion Angus
Published: January 2025

This article examines how Christian responses to COVID-19 mitigation measures in South Africa unveiled political and theological fault lines within two constituent Christian groups. Through an analysis of typological examples, including the Christian Revival Church (CRC) and the African Christian Democratic Party (ACDP), known for oppositional stances towards state measures and scientific veracity, and the South African Council of Churches (SACC), which offered mixed support for state measures and endorsed scientific findings, we explore the intricate interplay between religion and politics. The study reveals diverse worldviews shaping responses, from Western scientific perspectives to African indigenous beliefs and American Evangelical influences. We uncover varying pastoral concerns, with poorer communities prioritizing survival and affluent communities focusing on emotional well-being. Moreover, political theologies reflect entrenched convictions, from racism and xenophobia to relatively uncritical support for the state. This study underscores the significance of public theological reflection and the enduring impact of religion on societal norms, political ideologies, and moral values in South Africa.
Meal in Luke 22:19-20 and the Suffering Servant in Luke 22:37
Authors: Etukumana Godwin Akpan
Published: January 2025

The meal in the Gospel of Luke (22:19-20) and the Suffering Servant narrative in Luke 22:37 are very significant in understanding the importance of these texts to the early Jesus community. The interpretation of these texts was precious as they read and meditated on the significance of the death of Jesus to them. The death of Jesus to the early community meant to fulfil the Old Testament prophecies of the coming messiah who will bring about a new era of reconciliation through his death. The use of socio-historical interpretation in this article helps to examine the meal in Luke 22:19-20 and the claim of Jesus in Luke 22:37 to see whether there is a correlation to the Old Testament, especially the process of reconciliation. The two texts in question showed that the Lukan community in the Gospel of Luke believed that the death of Jesus was a means of atoning for the sin of the community event that was familiar in the Old Testament. The language in the texts showed that Jesus authenticated the Old Testament prophecies upon himself. The article concludes that Jesus’ death in the Gospel of Luke is for the forgiveness of sin and reconciliation.
(Amp)er, maar nog nie stamper nie: Ampsverstaan en ampsherstel in die NG Kerk

Evaluation of the South African Democracy on its 30th anniversary
Authors: Modise Leepo Johannes
Published: January 2025

The problem statement in this article is that South African democracy, often lauded as one of the best democracies in the world due to its constitution, is marred by a high rate of Poverty, Unemployment, and Inequality (PUI) – a stark contrast to the ideal of democracy as the sharing of power and economic resources. This article will delve into the reality of South Africa’s democracy, evaluating it from the distribution of power and wealth. The assumption is that a democratic country that has a high rate of PUI is a failed democracy. I will highlight the origin of democracy from the city-states to compare the South African democracy from that perspective. Secondly, I will reflect on the different methods of democracy and their challenges. Thirdly, I will reflect on the PUI levels in South Africa. Fourthly, I will reflect on the circulation of wealth amongst South Africans. The assumption is that an imbalanced distribution of wealth indicates a failed democracy. Finally, I will propose that the distribution of power through elections, imbizo, Local councils, and ward committees through participatory democracy should reflect the distribution of wealth to the people of South Africa. The Universal Income Grant (UIG) should be introduced to narrow the gap between PUIs in South Africa. To summarise, this paper advocates for a more equitable distribution of power and wealth in South Africa, with the Universal Income Grant serving as a potential solution to the country’s high PUI rates. The approach in this paper is the normative-descriptive approach within Political theology.
Appreciation of Prosperity Gospel’s missional message and the cause to rethink its dismissive criticism
Authors: Adegbile Wole , Adegbile Jackie
Published: January 2025

This study examines the missional message of the Prosperity Gospel against the mainstream definition of the gospel. It seeks to find out if there is something biblical about its proclamation to the people. In its missional message, the teaching proclaims the identity of Christ as the Saviour of mankind rescuing them from eternal destruction. The study holds this as a starting point for reformative criticism of the Prosperity Gospel, which can be made better if criticised with its potential in mind and personal freedom from traditional biases on the parts of the critics.
How the public nature of theology could address the proliferation of unaccredited theological qualifications in Africa
Authors: Banda Collium
Published: January 2025

The proliferation of questionable theological qualifications thrives on a privatised perception of theology that treats studying theology as a private matter between the believer and God. Unregistered theological institutions issuing ‘fake qualifications’ do so based on the perception that they are dealing with something private between God and them. This perception is undergirded by the belief that if God is pleased with their institutions, they do not need the approval of any human authority. This article argues that this privatised view of theology is challenged by the public nature of the Christian God, which means that any reflection on God should be done openly and be subject to public scrutiny. Therefore, this article calls African Pentecostals who are issuing fake qualifications and refusing to register with governing authorities, to recognise the public nature of theology, which means that theological institutions should meet public requirements for registrations. Equally, students that enrol in these unregistered institutions should be challenged to realise the public nature of theological education. This article therefore examines the public nature of theological education as a means of addressing the proliferation of questionable theological qualifications among African Pentecostal churches.
inclusive church
Authors: Scott Hilton
Published: January 2025

Since the time of the early church, through the era of the Roman Empire, the Reformation, including the Second Vatican Council and the present-day lived experience, there has been a concern regarding inclusion (and exclusion) within church communities. Thus, in terms of being a church, how ought the worshipping community respond to the call to worship in a manner which allows every member to experience God in the community? This paper explores a global and perennial concern through the lens of Liturgical Studies. Firstly, the dynamics between the individual and collective were explored. This was followed by describing a call to worship; and exploring how that call is responded to by the congregation(s) as The Body of Christ. This culminated with exploring connectedness exclusively and inclusively and alluded to worship as enacting the “already” and “not yet”. Therefore, the worshipping community as the body of Christ should enact through worship the “not yet” kingdom from every tribe tongue, and nation to cultivate a harmonious coexistence.
Rethinking Old Age and Masculinity: Impact on the Re-Spatialization of Life and Research during the COVID-19 Period in Spain
Authors: Varela-Manograsso Agustina , Bote Marcos
Published: January 2025

The COVID-19 pandemic and experiencing confinement resignified spaces of life and research. This experience did not affect men and women or the youth and older people in the same way. In recent years, the pandemic’s exacerbation of gender inequality and its harmful effect on the elderly have been extensively studied. However, few studies have focused on how it has impacted older men specifically, and even fewer have looked into the variations in the way they perceive their masculinity and inhabit (gendered) spaces. This paper aims to analyses that impact and those variations, as well as the research limitations that came to light in the investigation process of this study, which was also affected by restrictions imposed during the pandemic. We managed to conduct interviews and focus groups with men over 60 years old from different social backgrounds and sexual orientation to study their thoughts and beliefs about masculinity and ageing by taking into account how the re-spatialization of the participant’s lives and of the research during the pandemic transformed both the (self-)perception of masculinity and of ageing, as well as the process and results of our investigation.

AUTONOMY OF HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS IN THE CONTEXT OF ACADEMIC INTEGRITY DEVELOPMENT
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine, Derkach Oleksandr
Published: January 2025

Background. Ukrainian education is currently undergoing transformation and modernization. At certain transformational
stages, it is possible to trace the emergence of interest in the autonomy of the institution of higher education based on the practices of European universities. The desire of higher education institutions to obtain their own autonomy gives rise to the emergence of scientific research in this direction.
Results. The article states that in European countries, the autonomy of a higher education institution concerns not only
certain academic rights and freedoms (academic autonomy), but usually extends to scientific activity (scientific autonomy),
financial policy and financial decisions (financial autonomy), organizational and management activity and personnel work
(management autonomy). It is highlighted that the most important problem on the way to the autonomy of the educational institution is the problems in the academic autonomy of the university, which reduce the level of quality of higher education. The quality of education is an extremely complex category: philosophical, political, managerial, pedagogical, economic. It determines the quality of life of both an individual and society as a whole, as it is characterized not only by the amount of acquired knowledge and professional skills, but also by the quality of personal, worldview, and civic development of each individual. It is emphasized that the improvement of the quality of education is possible only due to the implementation of norms of academic integrity in the practice of functioning of higher education institutions of Ukraine. It is proposed to study the concept of academic integrity through a cyclical-level structure, which should combine the general values prevailing in society and the forms and methods for their formation and development in order to gain autonomy by the institution of higher education of Ukraine.
Conclusions. The autonomy of the institution of higher education necessitates self-organization and self-regulation,
which are open to criticism, serve the public interest, establish the truth about the challenges facing the state and society, are
carried out transparently and publicly. University autonomy, in fact, is an organizational and economic platform for the strategic management of a higher education institution, and even more, it is the foundation of the sustainability of the entire higher education, and therefore cannot exist without academic integrity. The autonomy of higher education institutions of Ukraine is an important and serious guarantee of the organization of university life for all subjects of the educational process.

Published: January 2025

In recent years, the incidence of magnetic ingestion in children has been rapidly increasing in many countries of the world. It is especially dangerous to swallow multiple magnets because they can be attracted to each other and damage the walls of the stomach and intestines. Swallowing magnets is most common in children between the ages of 6 months and 4 years, and much less common in teenagers. Case description. A 13-year-old boy presented to an emergency department complaining of abdominal pain. Multiple vomiting was noted the day before the visit. The bowel movements were regular. The patient was admitted to the hospital with suspected acute appendicitis. Clinical examination and abdominal ultrasound ruled out this diagnosis. Due to the unclear cause of the abdominal pain, a plain abdominal X-ray was performed, which revealed multiple metallic dense bodies in the projection of the cecum. Further questioning revealed that the patient had swallowed several dozen magnetic spheres 2 weeks prior to the visit. Diagnostic laparoscopy was performed and revealed an infiltrate consisting of a portion of the ileum and greater omentum in close proximity to the head of the cecum. When dividing the infiltrate, the wall of the cecal head was found to perforate. The decision was made to convert the access. By transverse mini-laparotomy in the right iliac region, the abdomen was opened, the cecum was exposed with a defect through which part of the foreign bodies was removed. There were 18 magnetic beads. The remaining beads migrated into the colon. Intraoperative radiographs showed foreign bodies as a single conglomerate in the ascending colon projection. The intestinal defect was sutured and the omentum lesion was resected. The progress of the magnets was monitored by stool examination and radiography. A follow-up X-ray on day 3 showed that the beads remained in the projection of the hepatic angle of the colon. A colonoscopy was performed and 15 magnetic beads were removed. Recovery of the patient. Children of any age can swallow magnets. To clarify the diagnosis of abdominal pain syndrome of unknown etiology in children, it is necessary to ask parents and children about possible contact with magnets and perform plain abdominal radiography. The surgical treatment strategy using laparoscopy and intraluminal endoscopy depends on the location of the magnetic foreign bodies and the presence of intra-abdominal complications.

Published: January 2025

BACKGROUND: Cerebral palsy is a severe disorder of the nervous and musculoskeletal systems. Equinus foot deformity is the most commonly diagnosed deformity. Surgical treatment is required in 12%–70% of patients. Existing surgical treatments are complicated by loss of improvement, relapse, and recurrent deformity in 6.7%–41.0% of cases.
AIM: The aim of the study was to determine the optimal surgical treatment algorithm for preschool and early school-aged patients with cerebral palsy.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: A clinical study included 102 children with cerebral palsy aged 3–10 years. Two groups of children were formed: group 1 for 3–6-year-old patients, group 2 for 7–10-year-old patients. The follow-up period was from 2014 to 2023. Equinus foot deformity was the main symptom in children. The GMFCS, Ashwort, and Boyd–Graham scales were used to assess patients. The severity of the foot deformity was evaluated by the author’s method (Invention Patent of the Russian Federation No. 2712951). Grade I deformity was reported in patients who required a force of 5–7 kg/cm2 to move the foot to a 90° angle, grade II deformity was reported with a force of 8–10 kg/cm2, and grade III deformity was reported with a force of more than 10 kg/cm2. All children underwent surgery: selective myotomy of the gastrocnemius muscle of the lower leg in 65 (63.7%) patients (Intervention Patent of the Russian Federation No. 2332180) and partial achillotomy in 37 (36.3%) patients (Intervention Patent of the Russian Federation No. 2819283).
RESULTS: Spastic diplegia was diagnosed in 59 (57.8%) patients and hemiplegia was diagnosed in 43 (42.2%) patients. Grade I, II, and III equinus foot deformities were diagnosed in 29, 36, and 37 patients, respectively. Selective myotomy was performed in 37 children in group 1 and in 28 children in group 2. Partial achillotomy was performed in 18 and 19 patients in both groups, respectively. Selective myotomy was performed in 63.7% of children in both groups with grades I and II equinus foot deformity, and partial achillotomy was performed in 36.3% of children with cerebral palsy with grade III equinus foot deformity. Treatment results are considered satisfactory in 95.1% of cases.
CONCLUSIONS: The surgical treatment algorithm is effective in children 3–10 years of age with intact intelligence and independent mobility. For patients with cerebral palsy with grade I and II equinus foot deformities, selective myotomy of the gastrocnemius muscle is recommended, whereas for patients with grade III deformity, partial achillotomy is recommended.

Amata, Ancilla, Dewota, Elekta, Fides… – from Value to Name and from Name to Value. About a Specific Group of Monastic Names
Authors: Zmuda Ewa
Published: January 2025

The article is a description and analysis of a group of the so-called appellate religious names, excerpted from the lists of nuns from 63 religious houses belonging to 10 different congregations (only houses where it is practiced to change one's name upon joining a religious order were taken into account). The analyzed names (30 units) are from the 17th and the first half of the 19th centuries. The anthroponyms discussed prove the uniqueness and specificity of religious names, even though there are much fewer of them than those selected from the collection of existing anthroponyms. The group of names described in the article confirms the openness of the set of religious anthroponyms (the creation of new units based on Latin appellatives allows for the continuous expansion of the monastic onomasticon). These names strictly belong to the social group in which they were created, they can be described as specific to monastic nomenclature, and most of them do not go beyond it, at the same time, reflecting the system of values that should be defined as specifically monastic.

The Impact of Directive 2016/343 on the Protection of the Presumption of Innocence in Poland
Authors: Jasiński Wojciech
Published: January 2025

Directive (EU) 2016/343 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 March 2016 on the strengthening of certain aspects of the presumption of innocence and of the right to be present at the trial in criminal proceedings is one of the key legal instruments adopted by the European Union aiming at strengthening the rights of suspects in criminal proceedings. Its transposition deadline was set for 1 April 2018. However, no amendments aiming explicitly at transposing Directive 2016/343 were introduced in Polish law. The only activity undertaken by the Polish lawmaker was to add in 2019 a footnote to the Criminal Procedure Code indicating that the Code implements the provisions of Directive 2016/343. However, the implementation may be disputed. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to analyse whether Polish law is in compliance with Directive 2016/343 and how the implementation of the EU standard regarding the presumption of innocence works in practice. On the one hand the deficiencies of the Polish law and legal practice are discussed. On the other hand, however, the focus is also on another, more surprising, impact of Directive 2016/343, which is the overinterpretation of certain of its provisions both in judicial practice and legal scholarship. The analysis is concluded with the proposition of amendments that need to be adopted in order to fully implement the EU standard regarding the presumption of innocence as one of the cornerstones of modern criminal proceedings.
