First-principles investigation of phase stability and elastic properties of Laves phase TaCr2 by ruthenium alloying
Authors: Wei Shishi , Xiao Xuan , Zhou Kai , Yao Jing , Chen Dezhi
Published: January 2023

Based on the first-principles method of density functional theory, the microscopic mechanism of the effect of addition of alloying element Ru content on the stability and elastic properties of Laves phase TaCr2 was investigated by parameters such as formation enthalpy, electronic structure, and elastic constants. The addition of Ru atoms tends to preferentially occupy the lattice sites of Cr. With the increase in the Ru content, the alloying ability of Ta8Cr16−n
Ru
n
(n = 0–6) becomes progressively weaker, the stability gradually decreases, whereas the Poisson’s ratio grows. The bonding peak appears to drop and widen, weakening the bonding strength of Ta–Cr atoms, rendering the shear deformation to be performed easily, thereby improving toughness. When the Ru content rises to 20.83 at%, the bulk modulus, shear modulus, Young’s modulus, and Poisson’s ratio of the alloy attain the maximum value, the brittleness diminishes to the most extent, the resistance to elastic deformation is the strongest, as well at the optimum fracture toughness.
Investigation of space-continuous deformation from point clouds of structured surfaces
Authors: Ötsch Elisabeth , Harmening Corinna , Neuner Hans
Published: January 2023

One approach to estimate space-continuous deformation from point clouds is the parameter-based epochal comparison of approximating surfaces. This procedure allows a statistical assessment of the estimated deformations. Typically, holistic geometric models approximate the scanned surfaces. Regarding this, the question arises on how discontinuities of the object’s surface resulting from e.g. single bricks or concrete blocks, influence the parameters of the approximating continuous surfaces and in further consequence the derived deformation. This issue is tackled in the following paper. B-spline surfaces are used to approximate the scanned point clouds. The approximation implies solving a Gauss–Markov-Model, thus allowing accounting for the measurements’ stochastic properties as well as propagating them on the surfaces’ control points. A parametric comparison of two B-spline surfaces can be made on the basis of these estimated control points. This approach is advantageous with regard to the transition of the space-continuous deformation analysis to a point-based task, thus ensuring the applicability of the well-established congruency model. The influence of the structure’s geometry on the surfaces’ control points is investigated using terrestrial laser scans of a clinker facade. Points measured in the joints are eliminated using an own developed segmentation approach. A comparison of the results obtained from segmented as well as from unsegmented laser scans for the B-spline approximation and the subsequent deformation analysis provides information about the structure-related influence. An aqueduct arc is used as measuring object in this study. For the intended comparison, data sets, which contain possible influences due to changes of the mechanical loads, are analysed.

Missing is not a destination: Bringing the indigenous woman home in MMIW literature
Authors:   University of Zaragoza, Spain, Martínez-Falquina Silvia
Published: January 2023

This article underscores the relevance of literature within the current Missing and Murdered Indigenous Woman movement, which denounces the high rates of violence suffered by Indigenous women in Canada and the USA. As I argue, MMIW literature is a particularly useful form of activism because it makes the problem more visible as it offers a diversity of images that challenge the settler colonial silencing, dehumanizing and pathologizing of the Indigenous woman. Literary texts examine the multiple layers of the MMIW issue and its settler colonial sexist/racist roots, and simultaneously search for an emotional response that boosts engagement. The article offers a contextualization of literature within the MMIW movement in connection to activism, it reflects on the challenges of approaching the issue from a non-Indigenous perspective, and it engages in a close reading of works by Tanaya Winder and Linda LeGarde Grover to illustrate the most significant features of MMIW poetry and fiction. Both authors challenge the Western narrative of survivorism, moving beyond the passive or guilty victim roles in settler colonial representations, and positing relationality as a key value to refute the silencing and invisibility of Indigenous women.

Published: January 2023

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia is enormous, not only on the economy but also on education. Schools are required to close, and students must study at home using online platforms. The implementation of PJJ had an impact on reducing students' learning motivation. Therefore, an innovation is needed so that the learning process in the classroom can continue to run well and can make students motivated and excited to be involved in the learning process. One way to overcome these problems is to apply the ARCS learning model. This study aims to analyze the optimization of the ARCS learning model as a learning innovation after the COVID-19 pandemic. The method used in this study is a qualitative method with a literature study approach or literature study originating from several sources such as books, texts, e-books, and journals which are dominated from the last 2 years relevant to the research. The results of this study are that optimizing the ARCS learning model can increase student learning motivation in the post-COVID-19 pandemic because this model prioritizes learning motivation to improve student learning outcomes. In the learning and learning process, it is very important to practice these four motivational conditions to continue to be maintained so that students' motivation is maintained during the learning and learning process.

Ectopic adrenocorticotrophic hormone syndrome secondary to treatment-related neuroendocrine differentiation of metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer
Authors: Tan Chelsea , Triay Jessica
Published: January 2023

A 64-year-old man with progressive metastatic castrate-resistant prostate adenocarcinoma presented with recurrent fluid overload, severe hypokalaemia with metabolic alkalosis and loss of glycaemic control. Clinical features were facial plethora, skin bruising and proximal myopathy. Plasma adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH), serum cortisol and 24-h urinary cortisol levels were elevated. Low-dose dexamethasone failed to suppress cortisol. Pituitary MRI was normal and 68Gallium-DOTATATE PET–CT scan showed only features of metastatic prostate cancer. He was diagnosed with ectopic ACTH syndrome secondary to treatment-related neuroendocrine prostate cancer differentiation. Medical management was limited by clinical deterioration, accessibility of medications and cancer progression. Ketoconazole and cabergoline were utilised, but cortisol remained uncontrolled. He succumbed 5 months following diagnosis. Treatment-related neuroendocrine differentiation of prostate adenocarcinoma is a rare cause of ectopic ACTH syndrome.

Learning points

Neuroendocrine differentiation following prostate adenocarcinoma treatment with androgen deprivation has been described.

Ectopic adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH) syndrome should be considered where patients with metastatic prostate cancer develop acute electrolyte disturbance or fluid overload.

Ketoconazole interferes with adrenal and gonadal steroidogenesis and can be used in ectopic ACTH syndrome, but the impact may be insufficient. Inhibition of gonadal steroidogenesis is favourable in prostate cancer.

More data are required to evaluate the use of cabergoline in ectopic ACTH syndrome.

Ectopic ACTH syndrome requires prompt management and is challenging in the face of metastatic cancer.

„My, Lud Chile”. Procedura uchwalenia nowej konstytucji Republiki Chile
Authors:   Uniwersytet Gdański, Uziębło Piotr
Published: January 2023

In this article, the author analyzes the process of adopting the new Chilean constitution. The adoption of changes in the sphere of the system, which allowed the establishment of the constitutional convention, was an expression of a compromise between the authorities and participants of social protests in 2019.The new basic law is to replace an act, the democratic nature of which is questionable, dating back to the dictatorship of A. Pinochet. Importantly, a significant role of the collective subject of sovereignty in the constitutional process was envisaged. In a referendum, it is the people who decide not only about the need to adopt the constitution, but also about the manner of its procedure and its final approval. It is worth noting the appreciation of the role of indigenous peoples in the legislative process, as well as pro-equality mechanisms. However, the final assessment of the effectiveness of the adopted procedure will be possible only after the entire process is completed and the Constitution of the Republic of Chile enters into force.

The development of technology such as neural chips prompts reflection on the state’s attitude to such and similar improvements, taking into account the legal possibilities of influencing citizens. The basis for considerations is the taxonomy of G.Cohen’s improvements and the standards of limiting rights and freedoms expressed in the ECtHR and the Polish Constitution. The aim of the article is to answer the following research question: do constitutional norms allow for the obligatory use of neural chips by citizens? The analysis was carried out both for the general public and selected social groups.The effect of the analysis has an impact on the future perception of the relationship between the state and the individual in connection with social changes resulting from the development of technology. The key to the presented and future considerations related to the place of improvement in the legal system is its impact on positional or absolute goods.
Unilateral Powers and Donald Trump Presidency
Authors:   Jagiellonian University in Krakow, Turek Maciej
Published: January 2023

The paper is an exploration of using unilateral presidential powers by Donald Trump. The Author hypothesizes that Trump, due to his lack of political experience, was less keen on detailed negotiations of legislative projects with Congress, and more willing to act unilaterally. Analyzing frequency of issuing selected unilateral directives by American presidents since Jimmy Carter, the Author claims that Trump was moderate user of unilateral tools, as several of his immediate predecessors issued more unilateral directives. However, Trump was most eager to act unilaterally in his fourth year of the presidency, due to emergency and national security concerns after the pandemic hit the United States.
Judicial Council in the System of Constitutional Bodies of the Republic of Kosovo
Authors:   University of Rzeszów, Nowak Krystian
Published: January 2023

On February 17, 2008 Kosovo declared independence. The foundation for the creation of the Republic of Kosovo was the international community, which created the legal framework for the future statehood of Kosovo. The concept developed in the Athisari Plan of making the Judicial Council the guarantor of judicial autonomy and independence of judges was also a kind of anticipation of the subsequent fundamental changes in the system, introduced under the 2008 Constitution. This article attempts to analyze the systemic position of the Kosovo Judicial Council in the state system formed under the 2008 Constitution. It presents the composition of the Council, the procedure for the appointment of its members and the principles of its organization and functioning. The solution adopted in the Kosovo Basic Law is in line with the widely understood Southern European organizational model of judicial councils.
Jak nie Trybunał Konstytucyjny to co? O rozproszonej kontroli konstytucyjności prawa w Polsce
Authors:   Uniwersytet Gdański, Rytel-Warzocha Anna
Published: January 2023

The discussion on the model of constitutional review of law in Poland gained a new dimension after 2016 in connection with the ongoing constitutional crisis. First of all, there is a question of whether, irrespective of the competences of the Constitutional Tribunal, on the grounds of the binding constitutional provisions, also courts may review the constitutionality of statutory provisions in the process of their application. Although after 1997 the principle became established that the Constitutional Tribunal had exclusive competence to review the constitutionality of acts in Poland, a clear change in this respect is now visible both in doctrine and jurisprudence. The majority of doctrinal representatives justify the admissibility of dispersed judicial review by the inability of the Constitutional Tribunal to perform its basic function, treating it as something exceptional, incidental, determined by the doctrine of necessity. The aim of this paper is to present the debate on the admissibility of dispersed judicial review on the grounds of the Polish Constitution, as well as to indicate the possible directions of its development.

The article analyzes the participation of GAFAM transnational corporations in the exercise of classically regarded as state power. According to our thesis, their importance applies not only to business issues, but also to interference in national political relations. It replaces the competences hitherto belonging to the state authorities, both in the sphere of international and internal politics. When mentioning about GAFAM companies, we mean not only specific companies such as Google, Amazon, Facebook (currently Meta Platforms), Apple and Microsoft, which are the most expressive examples confirming our thesis, but also other global companies with a similar operating modus operandi.
Same-Sex Marriage and the Catholic Church: A Comparative European Perspective
Authors:   University of Białystok, Kużelewska Elżbieta , Michalczuk-Wlizło Marta ,   Maria Curie-Skłodowska University in Lublin
Published: January 2023

Same-sex marriage has already been recognised in several countries, including Catholic ones. The Catholic Church claims that respect for homosexuals must not lead to approving the legalisation of same-sex relationships. The legal norms in countries are intended to protect heterosexual marriage, as equating homosexual and heterosexual relationships would constitute the loss of fundamental values belonging to humanity’s common heritage. However, the Catholic Church’s position is not monolithic. The supporters advocate changing the Church’s teachings on the inseparability of marriage or the acceptance of homosexual relationships. The paper presents recognition of same-sex marriage in European (and Catholic) countries, shows the links between the position of the Church on such relationships and secular legal systems. There is a discrepancy in attitudes towards homosexuality between Catholic conservatives in West and East Europe. Western Catholic conservatives understood that sexual freedom is beyond dispute and should not be mixed up in political battles over issues.

Published: January 2023

The aim of the article is to analyze the influence of the legislative authorities on the membership of the Republic of Poland in the European Union. A dozen or so years of Poland’s membership in this international organization allows for a new look at the phenomenon of the “democratic deficit”, which has for a long time been the case that the position of the legislative authorities is decreasing in connection with EU membership. It should be stated that the legislative authorities, due to the system of government established in the Constitution of the Republic of Poland of 1997, should play a greater role in the process of integration of the Republic of Poland with the European Union.

In the countries of Central and Eastern Europe, the institution of a referendum is the most popular tool of direct democracy used in the decision-making process. We can see the extension of the scope of issues that are put to the vote, in addition to traditional issues, the subject of a referendum are issues that strongly polarize public opinion and evoke significant emotions. The article presents the political practice of referendum votes in Romania. In the years 1991–2019, eight votes were held on the most important issues of public life, including the recall of the president twice Traiana Băsescu. The matters put to the vote to a large extent result from the existing conflicts in the ruling camp, between the president and the government and parliament, as well as from party rivalry and preferred issues consistent with the party’s programs and social expectations.

The goal of the paper is to present the material jurisdiction of the Court of Competition and Consumer Protection in light of the constitutional principle of entity equality. The regulations of Art. 32 of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland include the principle of equality, which also covers entrepreneurs. In Poland, in addition to administrative courts that control the legality of administrative decisions, there is also the Court of Competition and Consumer Protection, which hears cases concerning administrative decisions from a material perspective. The analysis of the regulations indicates that the jurisdiction of this court has been determined without justification. The paper proves the thesis that the material jurisdiction of the Court of Competition and Consumer Protection has been determined arbitrarily by the legislator violating the constitutional principle of equality. The following methods were applied: dogmatic-legal and analytic-synthetic.

The local elections held in Iceland in May 2022 were carried out in accordance with the provisions of the Electoral Code, which entered into force on January 1, 2022. This whiff of news also influenced the course of the elections, the result of which shows that Icelanders want change in local ranks, although the results for the city of Reykjavik may suggest the opposite2. And it would seem that it would be possible to pass the local elections without deeper reflection, if not the fact that the political reshuffles at the local political scene surprised even the most interested. In the context of recent polls showing a strong interest in joining the EU, it seems that Iceland wants changes, the question is only about their direction. The aim of the article is to analyze the current changes compared to the local elections of May 14, 2022.
Gloss to the Judgement of the European Court of Human Rights of 8 November 2021 in the Case of Dolińska-Ficek and Ozimek v. Poland (Applications no. 49868/19 and 57511/19)

Judgement of ECHR of 8 November 2021 in the case of Dolińska-Ficek and Ozimek v. Poland is undoubtedly one of the most important judgements issued by the Strasbourg Court in recent times. At the same time, it constitutes a continuation of the existing case-law of the ECHR in similar cases against Poland, in particular the reasoning expressed in the judgement of 22 July 2021 in the case of Reczkowicz v. Poland (Application no. 43447/19). In the judgement, the ECHR held that Poland’s action resulted in a violation of Art. 6 (1) of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms of 4 November 1950, which establishes a set of due process guarantees.
Funkcjonowanie międzypartyjnych porozumień wyborczych w formie koalicyjnych komitetów wyborczych oraz komitetów wyborczych partii w latach 2018–2019

Election committees in Poland nominate candidates for elections and organize election campaigns for them. The legislator lists three types of committees that may take part in elections to the Sejm, Senate and the European Parliament: the election committee of a political party, a coalition election committee and an election committee of voters. Of these, the coalition committee is the most complicated formula – to organize it, an agreement between several parties is required. In 2019, Poland saw a consolidation of the political scene – at that time, in the elections to the European Parliament, only six committees put up lists of candidates across the country, while in the elections to the Sejm – only five committees. This was because multi- party electoral agreements formally took part in the elections as party rather than coalition election committees. So is the institution of a coalition election committee still useful?
Ekskluzja społeczna a konstytucyjnie uwarunkowana godność człowieka

The purpose of this study is to refer (relativize) constitutionally determined human dignity to human rights and to demonstrate social exclusion against this background. The scholarly supposition that the category of social exclusion does not have an independent character and that deriving de lege lata the right to protection against social exclusion is premature was given the form of a research hypothesis. Its confirmation or falsification will be done in the shadow of the assumption according to which exclusion should be considered in a two-way fashion: as social exclusion and, separately, as legal exclusion. The introduction of the second category is a relatively new area of research that addresses this subject matter.
Ekstradycja obywatela w świetle Konstytucji RP i wybranych umów międzynarodowych

The article deals with the issue of extradition of a Polish citizen in the light of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland and selected international agreements as well as the nature, scope and significance of citizenship in correlation with a potential extradition. It presents the methods of presenting the issue of citizenship of the person covered by the application for the issuance by the constitutional norms of selected states and regulating the extradition turnover of representative international agreements. The aim of the article is to analyze binding norms in the scope of the indicated issues, both those which qualify citizenship as an obligatory obstacle to extradition and those which give it an optional character. As part of the work, the research methods traditionally used in legal sciences were used, namely the formal-dogmatic metod, the comparative metod and the historical-legal metod.
Między jednoznacznością a zrozumiałością zakazu karnego. Uwagi o regule nullum crimen sine lege certa w perspektywie konstytucyjnej
Authors:   Uniwersytet Marii Curie-Skłodowskiej w Lublinie, Kulik Marek
Published: January 2023

The object of the papet is to resolve a possible collision of the directives of unambiguity and communicativeness of a criminal prohibition arising from the principle of nullum crimen sine lege certa. The principle of nullum crimen follows from the rule of law, protection of trust and is an element of the principle of decent legislation, which dictates that they should be taken into account when resolving a conflict. The author is in favour of placing greater emphasis on the clarity of the prohibition, while maintaining unambiguity. He also supports the view that the incomprehensibility of the prohibition may be the basis for excluding liability in the case of an error as to the unlawfulness of an act. The text is of a dogmatic and theoretical-legal nature. It uses the method of dogmatic analysis.

The aim of the paper is to find legal-tax solutions, which have potential to compensate in fiscal way an expected lowering of municipalities’ revenues from their share in personal income tax as the result of lowering this tax by legislative authority. That opportunity author ascribe to increasing of RET’s tax rates and at the same time implementation of degressive tax thresholds in RET. That legal arrangement will balance raising the RET for taxpayers who already pay high amount of RET and empower fiscal sovereignty of municipalities deduced form Article 168 of The Constitution of the Republic of Poland.
NUMERICAL INVESTIGATION ON HEAT TRANSFER OF SUPERCRITICAL PRESSURE CO2 IN A BENT PIPE

The flow characteristics and heat transfer mechanism of supercritical pressure CO2 in a bent pipe were studied by the method of numerical simulation. The velocity, temperature, secondary flow, and turbulent kinetic energy distribution of the CO2 under different heating conditions are analyzed. The effects of pipe bend and sharp changes in the thermal properties of CO2 on the flow field and temperature field are discussed and compared. The results show that a narrow high-temperature region appears on the inside wall, where the turbulent kinetic energy is low. Here, the local heat transfer coefficient decreases by 60%, compared with the other areas of the bend. Under the conditions of high heat flux and low mass flux, this narrow region transfers from the inside wall to the outside wall, and a reduction in heat transfer occurred. More specifically, the heat flux increases from 20 to 50 kW·m-2, and the heat transfer coefficient decreases by 35%, while the mass flux decreases from 600 to 400 kg·m-2·s-1, and the heat transfer coefficient decreases by 50%. When the pressure changes from 7.58 MPa to 9.00 MPa, the heat transfer coefficient is maximum of 5% reduction. At higher pressures, the heat transfer coefficient is slightly affected by the pressure. Meanwhile, the secondary flow significantly enhances the convective heat transfer, and the range and intensity increase with the flow development.
