Co-evaluación formativa para el aprendizaje en línea
Authors: Verdún Noelia
Published: September 2022

Diversas investigaciones educativas indican que aún son un desafío las prácticas de autoregulación de los propios procesos de aprendizajes de estudiantes y aquellas que promuevan la co-evaluación entre pares en el marco de la enseñanza en línea. También el diseño e implementación de dispositivos e instrumentos con perspectiva de evaluación formativa. Compartimos aspectos conceptuales metodológicos del diseño de instrumentos para la co-evaluación formativa entre pares y grupos “espejo” con profesores de educación secundaria y primaria en actividad que se forman en línea para la titulación en carrera de grado.

Los docentes universitarios, en pos de cumplir con las metas y objetivos que se plantean, han puesto en práctica diferentes procedimientos para la enseñanza y el aprendizaje a fin de lograr la formación integral del estudiante. Del mismo modo, ha experimentado múltiples maneras de evaluar sus formas de enseñar y los aprendizajes del estudiante, en las diferentes asignaturas que conforman los planes de estudio. En este proyecto se propuso la clase invertida y la ludoevaluación como dispositivos de enseñanza y evaluación de contenidos disciplinares de Inglés Técnico y Metodología de la Investigación. Se diseñaron seis videos teóricos sobre temas de las asignaturas involucradas. Se propuso a los estudiantes el visionado de un video para cada clase y durante la clase se respondió un cuestionario sobre el video asignado. Los cuestionarios se crearon en Educaplay, Kahoot y Quizizz con un formato semejante al primer parcial. Al finalizar la experiencia se realizó una consulta a los estudiantes para conocer su valoración de la propuesta.
El rol de los materiales didácticos como mediación de la construcción de saberes
Authors: Zavaro Pérez Carlos
Published: September 2022

Se discuten algunos de los propósitos que persigue el uso de materiales en clase desde una mirada didáctica que atraviesa la concepción de las clases en las aulas universitarias, repensado el modo en que éstos contribuyen a la conformación de ciertas configuraciones en relación al modo en que se objetiva la clase. La reflexión sostiene que más allá de constituir un recurso para la transmisión de un saber constituido o para la construcción colectiva de conocimiento bajo diferentes paradigmas, también se convierten en un instrumento de evaluación de la práctica docente y en un modo de sintetizar saberes y trayectorias académicas cuando éstos conforman la propuesta de intervención de las universidades con otras instituciones educativas preuniversitarias en un escenario que pretende que la extensión transforme y contribuya a transitar un camino hacia la integralidad de las prácticas académicas. Se recurre a una experiencia de trabajo con colegios agrotécnicos de la ciudad de La Plata con el propósito de ilustrar la reflexión.
O ensino de álgebra dos anos finais do ensino fundamental através da música e dos softwares
Authors: Cardoso de Sousa Taize , Dos Santos Silva Flaviana
Published: September 2022

Este artigo apresenta um recorte dos resultados de uma pesquisa de mestrado que teve como objetivo analisar como a educação musical atrelada aos softwares computacionais no ensino e a aprendizagem da Álgebra, especificadamente dos anos finais do ensino fundamental são apresentados em trabalhos acadêmicos realizados no ano de 2018. Para tanto, o aporte teórico trouxe um diálogo com os temas Música e Matemática, Tecnologias Digitais de Informação e Comunicação e ensino da Álgebra. Como abordagem metodológica, utilizou-se os procedimentos do Mapeamento na Pesquisa Educacional. Os dados foram constituídos a partir da seleção de 27 dissertações publicadas no banco de dados da Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPES. Para a análise, estabeleceram-se inicialmente cinco categorias: a) referenciais teóricos da pesquisa; b) problemas investigados/interesses de pesquisa; c) metodologias utilizadas; d) principais resultados; e) perspectivas de continuidade do estudo. O estudo permitiu identificar a relevância da utilização da educação musical ligado aos softwares no ensino e na aprendizagem da álgebra predominantemente no ensino médio. Entretanto, não foi possível constatar tal utilização no ensino de álgebra dos anos finais do ensino fundamental nos trabalhos analisados. Verificou-se ainda que a educação musical atrelada a matemática pode despertar o interesse dos alunos, minimizando o suposto receio pela matemática, especificadamente pela álgebra.
On Weights Which Admit Harmonic Bergman Kernel and Minimal Solutions of Laplace’s Equation
Authors: Żynda Tomasz Łukasz
Published: September 2022

In this paper we consider spaces of weight square-integrable and harmonic functions L
2
H(Ω, µ). Weights µ for which there exists reproducing kernel of L
2
H(Ω, µ) are named ’admissible weights’ and such kernels are named ’harmonic Bergman kernels’. We prove that if only weight of integration is integrable in some negative power, then it is admissible. Next we construct a weight µ on the unit circle which is non-admissible and using Bell-Ligocka theorem we show that such weights exist for a large class of domains in ℝ2. Later we conclude from the classical result of reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces theory that if the set {f ∈ L
2
H(Ω, µ)|f(z) = c} for admissible weight µ is non-empty, then there is exactly one element with minimal norm. Such an element in this paper is called ’a minimal (z, c)-solution in weight µ of Laplace’s equation on Ω’ and upper estimates for it are given.

Let A and B be two unital Banach algebras and 𝔘 = A × B. We prove that the bilinear mapping φ: 𝔘 → ℂ is a bi-Jordan homomorphism if and only if φ is unital, invertibility preserving and jointly continuous. Additionally, if A is commutative, then φ is a bi-homomorphism.
Characterisation of nuclear microsatellite markers for Fraxinus excelsior L. and their transferability to six related species
Authors: Hartung Tina , Budde Katharina Birgit , Gailing Oliver
Published: September 2022

Common ash (Fraxinus excelsior L.) is an economically and ecologically important tree species in Europe acutely threatened by ash dieback. Here, we present a new set of Simple Sequence Repeat markers for F. excelsior and six related ash species based on published in silico designed primers. Forty SSR markers, mainly from genic regions, were tested for amplification and polymorphism and characterized in two ash populations in Germany. Transferability of polymorphic markers to six related Fraxinus species (F. angustifolia, F. ornus, F. quadrangulata, F. pennsylvanica, F. americana and F. biltmoreana) was also assessed. Eighteen markers, predominantly from genic regions including three markers closely linked to candidate genes for ash dieback, were successfully amplified and polymorphic in F. excelsior, of which between 10 to 17 were transferable to one of the six related species. High genetic diversity was found in the two ash populations (Na
= 7.8 and 6.9, He
= 0.71 and 0.68), while low genetic differentiation between populations (FST
= 0.025) was observed. The newly characterised SSR markers extend the set of genetic markers available for F. excelsior and six other ash species for future studies on the genetic diversity and structure of ash populations.

Published: September 2022

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a complex disease in which the interaction of genetic, environmental, and microbial factors drives chronic intestinal inflammation. Gastrointestinal symptoms are predominant including pathological manifestations in the oral cavity, as well as extra-intestinal complications.

Lingua plicata (LP) is a condition characterized by an increased number of fissures and grooves at the central and lateral aspects of the dorsal surface of the tongue. LP is usually asymptomatic and discovered incidentally, but the accumulation of food in the fissures and grooves can lead to focal glossitis and halitosis.

In this study, we analyzed the level of proinflammatory cytokines in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) and demonstrated that proinflammatory cytokines IFN-γ, IL-12, and IL-1β were significantly increased in the group of UC patients when compared with healthy controls. Obtained results have shown that 35% of UC patients have lingua plicata. The GCF levels of IFN-γ and IL-12 were higher in UC patients with LP compared with UC patients without lingua plicata.

In conclusion, increased GCF values of IFN-γ and IL-12, in UC patients with LP may be considered as a sign of the disease progression and, consequently, of a poor prognosis for patients.

Mapping the Furnace Room
Authors: Ghaffar Asher
Published: September 2022

When he was a child he had a passion for mapping the house, the earth: archaeology, destratifying and stratifying. Imagining maps in his cobbled mind. He walked around the block with a question in his mind that had been bottled in the furnace of the house. A question like “who am I, here?” and upon arriving at the same point on the block, the same question would blaze up. An inflammatory question forged in the furnace of his house when he went to fill a pitcher with distilled water and clambered over a mountain of photo albums to arrive at the distiller.

He wants to invent a home where borders blur into surrounding prairie, river, anatomical maps. He wants to live in many places at once, but preferably in one place. He is tunneling through a past that is coded in other organs which refuse to speak. If they speak, they speakbackwards and he refuses to arrange. At the Wagha border is both sanity and madness. Home emerges from simultaneous pasts intersecting and creating homes that never were, but here in this space, it is possible to build another home every morning: to unimagine the border that is locked now. When Amritsar and Lahore were simply signs; the wrought iron gate and a parade were seething tension underground, in the marble floored room of an Englishman.

Ambidestreza organizacional en relaciones interorganizacionales
Authors: Solís Molina Miguel Ángel , Rodríguez Orejuela Augusto , Hernández Espallardo Miguel
Published: September 2022

Este libro es el resultado del proyecto de investigación “Co-explotación, co-exploración, ambidestreza organizacional y sus efectos sobre el desempeño”, producto de la colaboración entre la Universidad del Valle (Colombia) y el Centro Nacional de Asistencia Técnica a la Industria – ASTIN del Servicio Nacional de Aprendizaje SENA. En el libro, el lector podrá encontrar una mirada sobre los diferentes ámbitos en los cuales la capacidad de innovar de las empresas, reflejada en el concepto de ambidestreza organizacional, puede potenciarse a partir de las relaciones de colaboración para la innovación con otras organizaciones. La ambidestreza organizacional es un término que ha logrado captar el interés de científicos y profesionales en los últimos años, ofreciendo una solución al denominado “dilema del innovador” planteado por Christensen (1997), en el cual las empresas deben decidir sobre destinar recursos para la explotación del conocimiento existente dominado por la empresa, o, por otro lado, para la exploración de conocimiento nuevo. Focalizarse en la explotación puede llevar a las empresas a la trampa del éxito haciéndolas perder de vista los cambios de su entono y conducirlas a la obsolescencia en el largo plazo. Por su parte, concentrarse exclusivamente en la exploración puede llevar a las empresas a dispersar sus esfuerzos en iniciativas que no se traducen en desempeño y ponerlas en el camino de la trampa de fracaso, lo cual puede conllevar la bancarrota en el corto plazo. A este respecto, la ambidestreza organizacional ofrece un camino intermedio en el cual se propone un balance entre la explotación y la exploración. De este modo, este libro ofrece alternativas frente al dilema del innovador, analizando el rol que pueden desempeñar variables facilitadoras de los efectos de la ambidestreza organizacional sobre el desempeño de las organizaciones. En este caso particular, se analiza el rol que puede desempeñar la capacidad de absorción de las organizaciones, traducida como la capacidad de aprendizaje para adquirir, asimilar, transformar y aplicar comercialmente lo que se aprende, combinando fuentes internas y externas de conocimiento. Por otro lado, se analiza el rol que puede desempeñar la capacidad de alianzas de las organizaciones en las colaboraciones inter-organizacionales. Asimismo, los efectos que puede traer la combinación simultánea de estrategias de innovación organizacionales e inter-organizacionales. Adicionalmente, se analiza el rol que juegan los tipos de gobierno contractual e informal en los proyectos de innovación de carácter inter-organizacional. De esta forma, se contribuye con dar respuestas e implicaciones prácticas para la gerencia encargada de la gestión de la innovación, en el contexto de las relaciones de colaboración inter-organizacional.

The Nature of Dreams in Persons with Neurological Disorders
Authors: Baum D. E. , Sarycheva Yu. V. , Ponomarenko I. V.
Published: September 2022

A theoretical analysis of the features of dreams in people who have suffered a stroke is presented in the ar­ticle. The content of dreams may indicate the presence of somatic abnormalities, but in a distorted, symbolic form. In stroke, sleep disorders are a negative predictor of the effectiveness of the rehabili­tation stage. The results of empirical study of the characteristics of dreams in stroke patients (10 men, 10 women aged 21 to 65, average age-47.2) and in conditionally healthy people (7 men, 13 women aged 28 to 56, average age - 46.6) showed that the quality of sleep is worse in the group with somatic disorders in comparison with conditionally healthy people, and it also revealed differences in the content of dreams. In the dreams of people with somatic disorders, the desire to change their physical or mental state is manifested.
Conceptualization of the Symptoms of Schizophrenia in Ethnopsychiatry
Authors: Matsevich M. J.
Published: September 2022

The starting point of the article is the investigation of paradigmatic evolution of the conceptualization of schizophrenia symptoms in transcultural psychiatry on the basis of comparative analysis. Within the research the following methods were applied: cultural and logical studies, the methods of comparative analysis and hermeneutic reconstruction. As a research outcome, we explicated cultural, ethnic, and historical conditioning of the concept «schizophrenia». Besides, we represented a philosophical «hermeneutic model» of the origin of the disease called schizophrenia, which is heuristic for the conceptual formation of a new image of pathology. The abovementioned prerequisites provide for enriching the concept of «schizophrenia» by understanding hallucinogenic activity and various types of mystical unconscious knowledge in addition to ethnic, philosophical, anthropological, and sociocultural issues. The research novelty of the article is in the dialectical reconstruction of different cultural and ethnic approaches to the analysis of schizophrenia, which allowed us to find a multifaceted solution of the problem of its ‘presuppositiveness’.
Family Morality and Tolerance for Corruption
Authors: Blizniuk M. V.
Published: September 2022

A tolerant attitude towards corruption is considered in connection with the norms of family morality, aimed primarily at maintaining the well-being of loved ones and relatives. Based on the obtained em­pirical data, it is argued that the norms of family morality compel the closest relatives of a corrupt offi­cial not to protest against illegal income and not to condemn their corrupt relative for his or her illegal activities. Family morality in this situation is opposed to public morality, aimed at the common good and the observance of laws. It is proposed to consider the conflict of the society norms and family norms as necessary in all those situations where the interests of a large social group (society) do not coincide with the interests of a small social group (family) included in it.

Kinds of Pregeometries of Cubic Theories
Authors:   Novosibirsk State Technical University, Malyshev Sergey
Published: September 2022

The description of the types of geometries is one of the main problems in the structural classification of algebraic systems. In addition to the well-known classical geometries, a deep study of the main types of pregeometries and geometries was carried out for classes of strongly minimal and 𝜔-stable structures. These studies include, first of all, the works of B.I. Zilber and G. Cherlin, L. Harrington, A. Lachlan in the 1980s. Early 1980s B.I. Zilber formulated the well-known conjecture that the pregeometries of strongly minimal theories are exhausted by the cases of trivial, affine, and projective pregeometries. This hypothesis was refuted by E. Hrushovski, who proposed an original construction of a strongly minimal structure that is not locally modular and for which it is impossible to interpret an infinite group. The study of types of pregeometries continues to attract the attention of specialists in modern model theory, including the description of the geometries of various natural objects, in particular, Vamos matroids. In this paper we consider pregeometries for cubic theories with algebraic closure operator. And we notice that for pregeometries ⟨𝑆, acl⟩ in cubic theories, the substitution property holds if and only if the models of the theory do not contain infinite cubes, in particular, when there are no finite cubes of unlimited dimension. By virtue of this remark, we introduce new concepts of 𝑐-dimension, 𝑐-pregeometry, 𝑐-triviality, 𝑐- modularity, 𝑐-projectivity and 𝑐-locally finiteness. And besides, we prove the dichotomy theorem for the types of 𝑐-pregeometries.
Parametric Regularization of a Linear-quadratic Problem on a Set of Piecewise Linear Controls
Authors:   Irkutsk State University, Srochko Vladimir , Aksenyushkina Elena ,   Baikal State University
Published: September 2022

A linear-quadratic problem with arbitrary matrices in the functional and multidimensional control with convex constraint is considered. Acceptable controls are piecewise linear vector functions within an uneven grid of possible corner points. The reduction of the optimal control problem into a finite-dimensional format is carried out using vector formalization of the linear spline construction and block matrices together with the corresponding operations. The possibility of influencing the functional in the original problem is provided by using parameters with quadratic forms. The choice of these parameters is focused on the regularization of the functional in the sense of providing it with the properties of convexity or concavity at the level of a finite-dimensional model. The conditions for the choice of parameters are in the nature of inequalities with respect to the extreme eigenvalues of the block matrices forming the objective function. The corresponding convex or concave optimization problems can be solved in a finite number of iterations.
Vehicle pollutant control system using IOT
Authors: Amit Kumar , Tushar Mishra , Satyam Kesarwani , Yash Kumar Verma
Published: September 2022

Environmental pollution is a constant problem. Since vehicle emissions are the main cause of pollution, this approach can be a preventive measure. The purpose of the paper is to implement a vehicle pollution monitoring system based on the Internet of Things (IoT). Sensors connected to the Arduino Uno monitor the level of pollutants in the vehicle's exhaust gases. If the measured value exceeds the threshold value, the vehicle owner will be issued a warning message two or three times as a warning, and if the owner refuses to repair it, the message will be sent to the authorities. Finally, the data is stored in the cloud for further processing. The main goal is to create an innovative and time-saving method that will help solve the problem of environmental pollution.
Coordinate control and energy management strategies for a grid-connected hybrid system
Authors: Rajasekaran S. , A. Bharath Kumar Reddy , Saiteja K. , Rajesh P. , Vikas P.
Published: September 2022

This paper explains how to operate a networked hybrid system. A Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) and a hybrid photovoltaic (PV) array system are taken into account. The hybrid system can run in Feeder Flow Control (FFC) or Unit Capacity Control (UPC) mode. Changes in load demand are adjusted by the main grid because the hybrid source's output is controlled by reference power in UPC mode. Renewable energy is widely used. When light and temperature fluctuate, a PV battery uses Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) to give maximum power to a load. Photovoltaic electricity is uncontrollable because its output varies with the outside and cell temperature. PEMFC should be added to the hybrid system to overcome its limitations. The output of the hybrid source can be controlled by adjusting the output power of the frequency converter. As a result, it is necessary to set a reference value for the output of the hybrid source. In Feeder-Flow Control (FFC) mode, the feeder flow is controlled to remain constant, the hybrid source takes on additional load, and as a result, the feeder reference power needs to be understood. This method reduces load shedding and boosts electricity under high loads. Under light load, the hybrid power supply switches to UPC mode. When the load requirement is near the border of the mode change, UPC or FFC mode is used. Hysteresis eliminates power reference fluctuations. The proposed operation strategy increases system performance, system stability, and mode transitions by consistently operating the PV array at maximum output power and the Photovoltaic–Fuel Cell (PVFC) within its highefficiency range.

commercial yogurt. Test results of antibacterial activity against bacteria E. coli ATCC
35218 with inhibition zone diameters were 0, 0, 1.5, and 3.5 mm, respectively for Formula
I-IV, and the commercial yogurt was 0 mm. Formula IV (20% fruit extract yogurt)
possessed the highest antioxidant and antibacterial activity with IC50 36.58 mg/mL and an
inhibition zone diameter of 3.5 mm. In conclusion, the Songi fruit extract yogurt has
antioxidant and antibacterial activity against E. coli.
The Introduction of Young Women in Menander: Variation within the constraints of the genre
Authors:   , Bennett-Smith Isaac
Published: September 2022

Menander worked in a restrictive genre that limited his opportunities to create variation between plays. However, as scholars have shown (notably Brown, Zagagi, Lowe, and Traill), he still produced a diverse range of plots and plays, making excellent use of the room that New Comedy did give him to manoeuvre. Since a full investigation of variation in Menander could never fit within the scope of this thesis, I instead focus on how variation manifests differently in a narrow area where we might expect a greater degree of uniformity: the introduction of young citizen women and their initial circumstances, as established in the opening act of each play. Even though the first act is restricted both by its adherence to formal structure and its obligation to set up an appropriate plot, and even though young citizen women only rarely get the chance to express themselves on stage, variation still shines through the cracks when we examine how these women experience the world and events of each play.

Young citizen women in different plays often find themselves living in completely different circumstances, with unique past experiences and future trajectories. The first act’s focus on exposition emphasises this circumstantial variation. In later acts, by contrast, the developing action distinguishes plays more visibly. Because of their relative invisibility, we must reconstruct the circumstances and experiences of these women largely through what other characters say and do. Nonetheless, these women are fundamental to the marriage plot, and they act as a focal point that unites the other characters, bridging the gap between separate households. As a result, the variation between these women, and hence their flexibility, allows Menander to weave diverse combinations of characters and events into a network compatible with New Comedy and its teleological focus on the young citizen woman’s eventual marriage.
The Experiences of Māori Prison Officers in Aotearoa New Zealand's Prison System
Authors:   , Bowling Rebekah
Published: September 2022

This thesis contributes to scholarship documenting the social harms of Māori hyperincarceration by drawing attention to the impact on an often-overlooked group: Māori employed in frontline roles in prison settings. Based on semi-structured interviews with eight Māori former prison officers, including my own father, the project found frontline staff experiencing feelings of isolation and constraints, cultural violence, and exposure to traumatic events – with adversities having ripple effects on officers’ whānau. Despite attempts from consecutive governments to biculturalise the prison system, Māori prison officers experienced these changes as largely tokenistic, and their well-being continues to be undermined by the unique position of being Indigenous within settler-colonial institutions engaged in the hyperincarceration of Māori whānau. At the same time, the study found Māori prison officers using this location to foster new solidarities, evoking notions of shared whakapapa with incarcerated Māori that supersede the institutionalised divisions once thought to characterise the prison environment. Drawing on the kōrero of Māori prison officers, this project sheds new light on the complex relationships formed between incarcerated and employed Māori inside prisons, and contributes to wider debates over hyperincarceration and biculturalisation in the criminal justice system.
The Study of a Hybrid-SELEX Method for the Development and Characterisation of an Aptamer to the Dendritic Cell Surface Receptor: Clec9A
Authors:   , Palmer Rebecca
Published: September 2022

Current immunotherapies utilise antibodies to inhibit or aid immunological functions, or as delivery vehicles capable of targeting therapeutic drugs to the immune system. However, the limitations of antibodies compromise the growth of the field of immunotherapy and thus investigations into new avenues should be fast-tracked. One potential avenue is the use of aptamers. Aptamers are single-stranded pieces of DNA that, through the formation of unique 3D-structures specific to the sequence, have the capacity to bind virtually any molecule of interest due to their creation through systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment, or SELEX. They have shown to exhibit great potential for immunotherapies and specifically, mitigate the limitations presented by antibodies. Aptamers can be developed to bind cell surface receptors that play a role in the immunological response. Furthermore, direct conjugation with immunostimulants such as antigenic peptides or adjuvants could elicit direct and tailored responses. A receptor of interest is the class V C-type lectin receptor, Clec9A. Clec9A is found on a small subset of dendritic cells and its restricted nature makes it highly desirable for targeted antigen delivery.

In this study, I hypothesised that a novel Hybrid-SELEX approach would generate aptamers with high affinity and specificity to their cognate target. This was tested by utilising the Hybrid-SELEX to develop a DNA aptamer to Clec9A. This was achieved by firstly enriching a random oligonucleotide library to recombinant Clec9A immobilized on magnetic beads and then to its natural state as cell receptors on CD8+ cDCs. A bioinformatics pipeline was applied to NGS data to identify potential aptamers that bind Clec9A which was based on a range of criteria shown to be indicative of target affinity. These included reads per million, cluster number, enrichment, and rank. Candidate aptamers were screened for their affinity to Clec9A using two established characterization techniques, a modified gold nanoparticle assay, and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy. CD spectroscopy results found four candidate aptamers that were suggested to exhibit an affinity to Clec9A, however, further experiments will need to be performed to confirm this. Furthermore, this study highlights the necessity for standardized and robust characterization procedures to obtain reproducible, comparable, and reliable results.

In summary, A novel hybrid approach of SELEX technology found four potential aptamer candidates that exhibited specific binding interactions towards Clec9a.
Diplomacy and Arms, Opportunities and Obstacles in Episcopal Territorial Control in the Duchy of Krakow, 1279–1320
Authors: Bartos Sebastian P.
Published: September 2022

W Europie XIII w. rozwój biskupstwa krakowskiego odbywał się zgodnie z ogólną tendencją do tworzenia autonomicznych obszarów immunitetowych z prerogatywami władztwa terytorialnego. Jednak po okresie dłuższej dynastycznej stabilizacji zakończonej wraz ze śmiercią Bolesława Wstydliwego w 1279 r. biskupi krakowscy musieli się wykazać różnorodnością taktyki w celu utrzymania, a nawet rozszerzenia immunitetów prawnych w posiadłościach ziemskich. W przeciwieństwie jednak do wielu biskupstw w sąsiedniej Rzeszy Niemieckiej lub Czechach, a nawet w samej Polsce, pomimo z pozoru korzystnych warunków wynikłych z osłabienia centralnej władzy świeckiej, prałaci krakowscy nie stworzyli suwerennej władzy książęcej. Piastowie i czescy Przemyślidzi wykazali znaczącą efektywność w zapobieganiu stratom terytorialnym na rzecz Kościoła. Artykuł ten omawia strategie biskupów w rozszerzaniu władzy kościelnej i w wykorzystaniu pojawiających się możliwości wzmacniania jej terytorialnej kontroli w okręgach diecezjalnych. Różnorodność wysiłków, między innymi dyplomatyczne zabiegi biskupów, wykorzystanie prawa patronatu i prawa kanonicznego, ekonomiczne przedsięwzięcia kolonizacyjne, a nawet militarna aktywność okazały się ostatecznie niewystarczające. Zarówno Paweł z Przemankowa w otwartym konflikcie z księciem Leszkiem Czarnym, biskup Prokop w początkowo poprawnych relacjach z Wacławem czeskim, jak i Jan Muskata z pewnym potencjałem wojskowym i w bliskiej współpracy z czeską monarchią, nie byli w stanie osiągnąć znaczącej dominacji terytorialnej. Biskupstwo krakowskie na przełomie XIII i XIV w. ilustruje fundamentalny wpływ lokalnych uwarunkowań politycznych, przypadków i indywidualnych decyzji na rozwój kościelnego władztwa terytorialnego, a którego ostateczny wynik nie mógł być przesądzony w Polsce przed odnowieniem monarchii w 1320 r.
Recepcja pruskiego przywileju inkorporacyjnego Kazimierza Jagiellończyka w Gdańsku w XV–XVI w.

In 1454, King Kazimierz IV Jagiellończyk incorporated Prussia intothe Kingdom of Poland. This act became the direct cause of the Thirteen Years’ War with the Teutonic Order. The privilege of incorporation (Privilegium incorporationis) of March 6, 1454, granted to representatives of the Prussian states at that time, became the most important source of rights that created the legal basis for the autonomy of Royal Prussia within the Polish‑Lithuanian Commonwealth. The original of the document was kept in the Toruń archives. Numerous copies from the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries testify to a considerable interest in issues relating to the autonomy of Royal Prussia. This resulted from the actions of the Commonwealth of Poland aimed at limiting the political separateness of Prussia. The subject of the article is the question of knowledge of the content of the incorporation privilege in Gdańsk in the period immediately after the end of the Thirteen Years’ War (after 1466). In 1470, Gdańsk obtained a copy of the privilege (which has not survived to this day), sent from Toruń. A second copy is in a manuscript drawn up in 1485 in connection with the participation of envoys from Gdańsk in the congress of Prussian states in Toruń. During this congress, King Kazimierz Jagiellończyk demanded the levying of new taxes in Prussia to meet the needs of royal policy. This met with opposition from the Prussian states and led to a dispute with the King. Central to the matter were the rights of the Prussian states set out in the Privilegium incorporationis of 1454. It is to be assumed that the Gdańsk sources presented in the article are among the oldest identified copies of the incorporation privilege.

We measured vaccine effectiveness (VE) against COVID-19-related severe outcomes in elderly people in Portugal between May and July 2022. In ≥ 80 year-olds, the second booster dose VE was 81% (95% CI: 75–85) and 82% (95% CI: 77–85), respectively, against COVID-19-related hospitalisation and death. The first booster dose VE was 63% (95% CI: 55–70) in ≥ 80 year-olds and 74% (95% CI: 66–80) in 60–79 year-olds against hospitalisation, and 63% (95% CI: 57–69) and 65% (95% CI: 54–74) against death.

Authors: Widarjono Agus , Mardhiyah Zhafira
Published: September 2022

The study analyzes the extent to which Profit-Loss Sharing (PLS) financings with some control variables influence the stability of Islamic banks. Because of different scheme financings between Musharakah and Mudarabah, we also split them. This study measures stability utilizing Z-score. We employ the Autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model using monthly aggregate data of Islamic banks, covering from 2010:M1 to 2019:M12. This study is among studies who are pioneer in analyzing the role of PLS financing on stability. The findings shows that the PLS financings strengthen Islamic banks' stability for which Musharakah financing enhances the stability but Mudarabah financing weakens stability. Evidence also underlines that bank capital adequacy ratio (CAR) support stability but non-performing financing (NPF) and inefficiency lower stability. Macroeconomic conditions persistently support stability for which economic upturn fortifies stability but sharp depreciation weakens stability. This study implies that, in addition to Murabahah, Islamic banks have to diversify their financing on Musharakah.

The practice and theory of the political process show that the specific of the behavior of men and women in politics is different. Coupled with gender stereotypes, that causes a difference in the portrayals and images of political leaders of different genders. The study of the peculiarities of women’s leadership in the formation of political elites is complicated by several theoretical issues related to the influence of gender stereotypes on it, including the role behavior. However, the influence of such stereotypes on the perception of female leadership does not mean that female political representation “automatically” leads to the humanization of the political process and contributes to the softness in the work of political institutions. The quantitative and qualitative analysis of the political courses of prominent women leaders in Great Britain of the 20th– 21st centuries shows that the real political courses of women leaders have little in common with the gender stereotypes that were attributed to them, what did not prevent them from being widely recognized as decisive leaders in their positions. More than 100 years of experience of women’s presence in the British politics allows us to highlight the common and special in their activities. Using the algorithm of SWOT-analysis of the successful growth and self-realization of the personality of iconic female politicians of Great Britain, the authors trace the strengths and weaknesses, opportunities and threats for female leadership in the political process of Great Britain in the 20th–21st centuries.
