ENERGY POLICIES OF POLAND AND THE EU: A SEARCH FOR CONVERGING INTERESTS
Authors:   Primakov National Research Institute of World Economy and International Relations, Russian Academy of Sciences, Kuvaldin Stanislav
Published: January 2023

The strong dependence of Poland’s energy system on coal, as well as the relatively prominent role of the coal mining industry in the country’s economy, are features that distinguish the Polish economy from other EU states. Over the past decade and a half, EU countries have put forward increasingly stringent requirements for limiting greenhouse gas emissions in order to combat global climate change. Against this background, the Polish authorities tried to determine their own line within the Union. Using the example of Poland, we can see exactly how a country that differs sharply from other EU members in a number of important parameters is looking for opportunities to defend its interests, how Brussels and other member countries react to this. In addition, Warsaw is the object of their criticism not only for opposing climate plans, but also for violating the rule of law. The EU is inclined to link these subjects together, which may indicate the universalization of its approach to the existing contradictions. Nevertheless, Poland is able to effectively resist certain requirements of the EU energy policy, forming coalitions of countries concerned about its social consequences.
«REPUBLICANS» AMID THE NEW SOCIO-POLITICAL REALITY
Authors:   Primakov National Research Institute of World Economy and International Relations, Russian Academy of Sciences, Preobrazhenskaya Arina
Published: January 2023

The article examines the problems faced during the presidential and parliamentary election campaigns of 2022 by the largest party of the right camp in France – the «Republicans» party. The paper emphasizes that the «Republicans» faced the tasks of both ideological equipment and the search for a recognized leader by all. A study of the actions of the «Republicans» candidate for president V. Pekress allows us to conclude that under the influence of a combination of structural and conjunctural factors, she could not become a figure capable of mobilizing right-wing voters and going beyond her political camp. She lost the battle for the center-right and right electorate to her competitors – President E. Macron and the leader of the right-wing populists M. Le Pen. Analysis of the results of the parliamentary elections showed that although the «Republicans» halved their presence in the National Assembly, thanks to the new alignment of political forces, characterized by the absence of an absolute majority in the pro-presidential bloc, a group of «Republicans»” found themselves in parliament as an arbitrator and gained new opportunities to influence the lawmaking process, which was deprived in the previous legislature. The author comes to the conclusion that the project of the «independent right center» suffered a crushing defeat in these elections, and the «Republicans» in the course of parliamentary practice can follow the path of actually turning into the right wing of the pro-presidential coalition.

Despite a growing catalog of secreted factors critical for lymphatic network assembly, little is known about the mechanisms that modulate the expression level of these molecular cues in blood vascular endothelial cells (BECs). Here, we show that a BEC‐specific transcription factor, SOX7, plays a crucial role in a non‐cell‐autonomous manner by modulating the transcription of angiocrine signals to pattern lymphatic vessels. While SOX7 is not expressed in lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs), the conditional loss of SOX7 function in mouse embryos causes a dysmorphic dermal lymphatic phenotype. We identify novel distant regulatory regions in mice and humans that contribute to directly repressing the transcription of a major lymphangiogenic growth factor (Vegfc) in a SOX7‐dependent manner. Further, we show that SOX7 directly binds HEY1, a canonical repressor of the Notch pathway, suggesting that transcriptional repression may also be modulated by the recruitment of this protein partner atVegfcgenomic regulatory regions. Our work unveils a role for SOX7 in modulating downstream signaling events crucial for lymphatic patterning, at least in part via the transcriptional repression of VEGFC levels in the blood vascular endothelium.
Recognition of the CCT5 di‐Glu degron by CRL4DCAF12 is dependent on TRiC assembly
Authors: Pla‐Prats Carlos , Cavadini Simone , Kempf Georg , Thomä Nicolas H
Published: January 2023

Assembly Quality Control (AQC) E3 ubiquitin ligases target incomplete or incorrectly assembled protein complexes for degradation. The CUL4‐RBX1‐DDB1‐DCAF12 (CRL4DCAF12) E3 ligase preferentially ubiquitinates proteins that carry a C‐terminal double glutamate (di‐Glu) motif. Reported CRL4DCAF12 di‐Glu‐containing substrates include CCT5, a subunit of the TRiC chaperonin. How DCAF12 engages its substrates and the functional relationship between CRL4DCAF12 and CCT5/TRiC is currently unknown. Here, we present the cryo‐EM structure of the DDB1‐DCAF12‐CCT5 complex at 2.8 Å resolution. DCAF12 serves as a canonical WD40 DCAF substrate receptor and uses a positively charged pocket at the center of the β‐propeller to bind the C‐terminus of CCT5. DCAF12 specifically reads out the CCT5 di‐Glu side chains, and contacts other visible degron amino acids through Van der Waals interactions. The CCT5 C‐terminus is inaccessible in an assembled TRiC complex, and functional assays demonstrate that DCAF12 binds and ubiquitinates monomeric CCT5, but not CCT5 assembled into TRiC. Our biochemical and structural results suggest a previously unknown role for the CRL4DCAF12 E3 ligase in overseeing the assembly of a key cellular complex.
Numerical Investigation of Aerodynamic Characteristics of Hyperloop System Using Optimized Capsule Design
Authors: Prokash Chandra Roy  , Arafater Rahman  , Mihir Ranjan Halder
Published: January 2023

As a consequence of research on developing a speedy transportation system, Hyperloop is one of the best solutions now as smaller resistant forces are developed on the capsule body compared to conventional ground transportation systems due to movement in a vacuum and no contact with the ground. In this study, a capsule of an elliptical-shaped head and semicircular-shaped rear was chosen for analysis. Aerodynamic drags were calculated at different evacuated tunnel pressures. The computational regime was a 360 meters long tunnel. The inlet and outlet were pressure far-field boundaries while the wall was moving, with a Blockage Ratio (BR) of 0.36. Characteristics of different regions were identified in choked conditions. The drag was found to be lesser than the capsule of semicircular ends at different speeds. The pressure drag and friction drag were increased with the increase in velocity in the same tunnel pressure. By investigating different flow regions, it was found that a series of rhomboidal-shaped shock waves appear at high speeds. The formation and nature of this shock wave were also investigated, and found that it is caused due to shock wave and expansion wave interaction that results in the fall of pressure and temperature in the wake region.

Motivating and metacognition for engineering students
Authors: González Alice Elizabeth
Published: January 2023

This article presents an experience on motivation and metacognition in civil engineering students who participate in the subjects 'Elements of Environmental Engineering' and ‘Workshop d Module on Environmental Engineering Extension' (ModEx). ‘Elements of Environmental Engineering’ is a course for all Civil Engineering students of all professional profiles. Initially, the elaboration of a guided monograph on some topic of the national reality proposed by the students themselves was required for passing. The monograph and the oral final were performed in groups. However, the growth in university enrollment meant that the ability to guide the monographs was exceeded and the subject began to be exonerated based on the result of two partial written exams. The Faculty decided to support the continuation of the monographic and that allowed a new optional subject to emerge: ModEx. ModEx addresses real problems that challenge both students and teachers. To guarantee a comprehensive training process, the student must have direct contact with social reality, which is an opportunity to ask questions that are not defined a priori in the traditional teaching process. In these subjects, giving students the role of protagonists in the development of the subject, proposing them to face real situations, working together with teachers and other classmates, are mandatory. The parenthesis of the pandemic implied the need to make an additional effort in both subjects to adapt to virtuality, without losing the special value of addressing issues that are not comprehensively addressed in current undergraduate studies and experiential contact with reality. But the challenge continues: the return to face-to-face courses finds us with courses specially redesigned with pre-pandemic students in mind, but current students are different. They show little interest in conventional face-to-face activities, but they are very interested on practical work, such as ModEx. In the design of new proposals for today's students, the holistic approach to problems nor the rigorous environmental engineering sight should not be lost.

Drinking water for >23 million US households is obtained from private wells. These wells can become contaminated by chemicals, naturally occurring toxic substances, or pathogenic organisms that can cause illness in children. Although the US Environmental Protection Agency and most states offer some guidance for the construction, maintenance, and testing of private wells, most states only regulate the construction of new private water wells. With few exceptions, well owners are responsible for their own wells after the initial construction. Children may also drink well water at childcare or when traveling. This policy statement provides recommendations for the inspection, testing, and remediation of private wells to provide safe drinking water for children.

Authors: Narváez Pérez Estíbaliz
Published: January 2023

This paper constitutes a literature review to explore the concepts related to the task-based language teaching approach and critical thinking; this way, it would be possible to clearly understand what they are and their roles in the learning environment. Education stakeholders are tasked with seeking best practices to optimize education while helping students think critically and learn holistically. Therefore, from a qualitative perspective, the researcher analyzed articles and documents that allowed describing the position of different authors on the proposed topics. In addition, the context of the educational system was investigated to describe its current state and the difficulties it faces, since 2018, education had faced obstacles in the way content is taught and skills practiced. Therefore, it is highly relevant to analyze the learning environment, the importance of tasks, the role of the teacher, the role of the student, and critical thinking. As a result, this paper can function as a basis for a deeper analysis and an open discussion among stakeholders about the importance of developing CTS in young learners.

Authors: Gencheva N. , Stefanova D. , Angelcheva M.
Published: January 2023

Asperger syndrome (AS) is a developmental disorder associated with autism, characterized by repetitive behaviour, significant movement disturbance, including some poor motor skills and clumsiness. Therapeutic riding (TR) focuses on the cognitive, physical, emotional and social well-being of the rider. TR is a form of the physical, occupational and speech therapy that uses the specific movements of equestrian therapeutic techniques to facilitate normal muscle tone and to enhance balance, coordination, and motor development. PURPOSE: The aim is to evaluate the impact of therapeutic riding on motor skills of children with AS. METHODS: Changes in posture were assessed using the Posture Assessment Scale and child’s coordination in everyday functional activities using the Developmental Coordination Disorder Questionnaire (DCDQ’2007).Five children with AS, aged 4.9-year-old to 7.2-year-old participated in the study. RESULTS: We registered some improvements during the horseback riding course: better head and posture position and fine motor/handwriting general coordination. CONCLUSION: Although the study is only a pilot one with a small group of participants, the results clearly show that Therapeutic riding causes positive changes of some motor skills for children with AS.

rendszerszintű, protokolláris, kibővített cardiovascularis szűrés működtetése
lehet egy olyan populációs stratégia, amelynek hosszú távú hatása hozzájárulhat
a mortalitás csökkenéséhez. Célkitűzés: A jelen tanulmány
célja, hogy a Budakalász Epidemiológiai Vizsgálat (BEV) utánkövetéseként
megvizsgáljuk a résztvevők 2012 és 2019 között történt
egészségmagatartás-változását. Módszer: A hatékony utánkövetés
érdekében létrehoztunk egy cardiovascularis egészségmagatartás-indexet. A
kutatásba olyan, közepes és magas cardiovascularis rizikójú vizsgálati
személyeket vontunk be, akik 2012-ben részt vettek a BEV komplex
cardiovascularis rizikóbecslésében (n = 502). A 2019-es utánkövetés kérdőívében
a BEV-alapvizsgálatban is felvett alapadatok (demográfia, egészséges életmód,
rizikóviselkedés, gyógyszeresen kezelt betegségek), továbbá újonnan felvett
pszichológiai kérdőívek (Észlelt Stressz, WHO Jóllét, Beck-féle Reménytelenség

Wybrane imiona pochodzenia germańskiego w ojkonimii Polski (rekonesans)
Authors:   Instytut Języka Polskiego PAN, Kraków, Polska, Górny Halszka
Published: January 2023

The article is devoted to the deanthroponymic oeconyms that can trace their origins to Germanic names: Herman, Henryk, Konrad, and Zygmunt. These are Christian names which have been known in Poland since the Middle Ages, and have been used in both their basic and variant forms with varying degrees of popularity over the centuries. Among the discussed toponyms are medieval names (mainly German – officially changed after 1945) that identify localities in Lower Silesia, the Opole region, Lubuskie, and Pomerania as well as oeconyms with more recent origins that refer to objects that are mostly located in the historical lands of the Kingdom of Poland (where planned colonization took place in the 19th century). The toponymic material is presented in chronological and geographical terms with references to the historical and cultural aspects. The structure of the oeconyms that are based on Germanic names was also taken into account. These toponyms were created mainly as a result of extended transonymization (word-formation and paradigmatic derivation).
Motywacje semantyczne polskich i obcojęzycznych nazw wybranych obiektów tworzących główną grań Tatr
Authors:   Wydział Polonistyki UJ, Kraków, Polska, Jurczyńska-Kłosok Agnieszka
Published: January 2023

Toponyms of the High Tatra Mountains are the naming tendencies from the time of the first settlers, wherein the Tatra Mountains created a natural border between different ethnic groups and languages (with four languages being dominant in the area, namely Polish, Slovakian, German, and Hungarian). The interaction between the ethnic groups led to the gradual evolution of naming trends (some objects are named in each of the languages mentioned, i.e. Hinterer Mönch, Zadni Mnich, Druhý Mních, Hátsó Barát). The primary aim of the analysis is to contrast more than 260 selected Polish and foreign oronyms in an effort to compare the system of values and perception of the world conveyed in them. The classification has two parts. The first part is based on the constitutive elements of toponyms, and the second on its distinctive components. It should be highlighted that some toponyms are universal in the sense they do not differ in terms of nomination or motives leading to the formation of a given proper name.
Analiza nazw stacji i przystanków kolejowych w południowo-wschodniej Polsce w ujęciu diachronicznym
Authors:   Uniwersytet Rzeszowski, Polska, Żołądź Artur
Published: January 2023

The purpose of the article is to present the names of railway stations and stops, both old and non-existent, as well as those which are modern and functioning. A relevant part of the text is also the presentation of productive naming models for train stopping points. The research material was excerpted from the historical network train timetables, published until 2012, as well as from the online train timetable available on the PKP (Polish State Railways) website. These sources contain the names of stations and stops on selected railway lines in the following provinces: Lubelskie, Małopolskie, Podkarpackie and Świętokrzyskie. The methodology used is based on the classification of train stopping points, developed by Piotr Tomasik, as well as on additional division criteria, taking into account the structure of historical and non-existing names. The most frequently used nomination practice is the transfer of the name of the locality to the name of the train stopping point, as evidenced by such proper names as: Przemyśl, Rzeszów and Zagórze. However, the necessity to create a unique name of a railway stop or station often requires adding various elements that specify the location. In this way, names such as Chmielów koło Tarnobrzega, Kraków Płaszów, Rzeszów Osiedle or Tarnów Zachodni are created. The former names of train stopping points were also based on the transfer of the name of a part of a town, e.g. a housing estate, hamlet or district where a stop was located, e.g. Osiedle P.Z.L. w Rzeszowie or Ozet w Stalowej Woli. A separate naming category is the names of railway stations which were created as a result of foreign-language influences. The article is a contribution to further research on the nomenclature of railway stations and stops in diachronic terms on other railway lines in Poland.

Published: January 2023

Aim of the study: the aim of the study was to assess the possibility of making a semantic categorization of common names and proper names by a person diagnosed with appointment aphasia. Method: the study used a case-experimental approach. The results were analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively. Results: the best-preserved semantic relations were indicated, the phenomena proving the quality of access to the mental dictionary were determined, the symptoms of degradation of the semantic dictionary were specified, the stage of processing disturbed was determined. The quantitative evaluation included the percentage description of the obtained results. Conclusions: A generally enhanced ability of the respondent to identify categorical proper names than common names was observed. This can probably be associated with the aforementioned specificity of proper names, related to their information entropy. We can talk about several causes of the observed dysfunctions, the most important seems to be the language deficit, manifested by impaired access to the semantic dictionary, dysfunctions in the field of metalinguistic operations within semantic networks, difficulties with updating words and, to some extent, the depletion of the resources of the mental lexicon. The test results should certainly also be considered in the context of cognitive dysfunctions. The results of this research are in accordance with previous findings suggesting that the difficulty of semantic categorization is related to the dysfunction of semantic memory in the field of categorization of the so-called fuzzy concepts.
Górnośląskie nazwy obiektów gastronomicznych motywowane nazewnictwem regionalnym – między glokalizacją a komercjalizacją

Published: January 2023

The article is a form of introduction into a complex issue of creating artificial dependencies between local culture and the culture of consumption, exploiting, for the sake of commercial aims, the cultural heritage of the region. This synthesis describes the naming tendencies peculiar to the creation of Upper Silesian gastronomical facilities by onomastic lexicon of the region. The selected chrematonyms, consist of 56 examples were noted between 2018 and 2022 from the urban sphere of Upper Silesia. The names were described from a pragmalinguistic and cultural-linguistic perspective, considering the regional and commercial determinants of their creations. On the basis of the analysis the appropriate conclusions were drawn. They refer to the interfusion of two opposing naming tendencies – traditional and innovative – presenting themselves in Upper Silesian names created by the use of various methods and techniques. The varied onymic material showed many traits of consumptionist culture which display in their structure and semantics the Upper Silesian names of gastronomical facilities.
Poznań w kryminale: przestrzeń zindywidualizowana czy anonimowa?
Authors:   Uniwersytet w Lublanie, Wydział Filozoficzny (Filozofska fakulteta), Słowenia, Nowak Marta
Published: January 2023

The aim of the article is to present the image of Poznań presented in contemporary Poznań crime novels. The vision of criminal Poznań is primarily an effect of the characters’ behavior, their ancestry, disposition and contemporary trends in urban naming. From the perspective of the genre, urbanonyms allow us to present the capital of Wielkopolska as a peaceful city, and on the basis of an contrast – an unknown and dangerous space, famous for its crime. It is worth noting, however, that the spaces usually differ depending on a specific district. The stereotype of a clear division into good and bad districts is broken here, and the metropolis – in contrast to a strongly individualized space – on the other extreme presents itself as an almost anonymous space, similar to any other, larger Polish or European city. On the one hand, it results from contemporary civilization changes and the intermingling tendencies of glocalisation and globalization, but on the other, it can be an expression of the transformation of a culture in which we value evil and want to be at its center (provided that we are sure that in the end we will witness the victory of good).
Syntetická sústava slovanskej onomastickej terminológie (variantná podoba)
Authors:   Univerzita Mateja Bela v Banskej Bystrici, Slovensko, Odaloš Pavol
Published: January 2023

The idea of a synthetic system of Slavic onomastic terminology is based on the existence of a system of Slavic onomastic terminology since 1973, on respecting time as a factor determining the development of society and science, and on accepting the contribution of onomasticians to terminology over the past 49 years. Based on these determinants, we can develop onomastic terminology by synthesizing onomastic terminology in individual species groups of onomastic terminology through pure / immediate synthetization of onomastic terminology and by taking over integral parts of the classification of onomastic terminology by specific Slavic onomasticians. The system of Slavic onomastic terminology in the variant form presented by us will need to be analyzed in detail and has to be work up on the advantages and disadvantages of individual classifications such as bionyms, geonyms and chrematonyms. It will be necessary to select one variant from each group. As a result of this synthetization procedure a synthetic system of Slavic onomastic terminology will be created.
Review on Automatic Variable-Rate Spraying Systems Based on Orchard Canopy Characterization
Authors: Patil Seema , Patil Yuvraj , Patil Suhas
Published: January 2023

Pesticide consumption and environmental pollution in orchards can be greatly decreased by combining variable-rate spray treatments with proportional control systems. Nowadays, farmers can use variable-rate canopy spraying to apply weed killers only where they are required which provides environmental friendly and cost-effective crop protection chemicals. Moreover, restricting the use of pesticides as Plant Protection Products (PPP) while maintaining appropriate canopy deposition is a serious challenge. Additionally, automatic sprayers that adjust their application rates to the size and shape of orchard plantations has indicated a significant potential for reducing the use of pesticides. For the automatic spraying, the existing research used an Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. Also, spraying efficiency can be increased by lowering spray losses from ground deposition and off-target drift. Therefore, this study involves a thorough examination of the existing variable-rate spraying techniques in orchards. In addition to providing examples of their predictions and briefly addressing the influences on spraying parameters, it also presents various alternatives to avoiding pesticide overuse and explores their advantages and disadvantages.
Visual Analytics for Explainable and Trustworthy Machine Learning
Authors:   ,   Linnaeus University, Chatzimparmpas Angelos
Published: January 2023

The deployment of artificial intelligence solutions and machine learning research has exploded in popularity in recent years, with numerous types of models proposed to interpret and predict patterns and trends in data from diverse disciplines. However, as the complexity of these models grows, it becomes increasingly difficult for users to evaluate and rely on the model results, since their inner workings are mostly hidden in black boxes, which are difficult to trust in critical decision-making scenarios. While automated methods can partly handle these problems, recent research findings suggest that their combination with innovative methods developed within information visualization and visual analytics can lead to further insights gained from models and, consequently, improve their predictive ability and enhance trustworthiness in the entire process. Visual analytics is the area of research that studies the analysis of vast and intricate information spaces by combining statistical and machine learning models with interactive visual interfaces. By following this methodology, human experts can better understand such spaces and apply their domain expertise in the process of building and improving the underlying models. The primary goals of this dissertation are twofold, focusing on (1) methodological aspects, by conducting qualitative and quantitative meta-analyses to support the visualization research community in making sense of its literature and to highlight unsolved challenges, as well as (2) technical solutions, by developing visual analytics approaches for various machine learning models, such as dimensionality reduction and ensemble learning methods. Regarding the first goal, we define, categorize, and examine in depth the means for visual coverage of the different trust levels at each stage of a typical machine learning pipeline and establish a design space for novel visualizations in the area. Regarding the second goal, we discuss multiple visual analytics tools and systems implemented by us to facilitate the underlying research on the various stages of the machine learning pipeline, i.e., data processing, feature engineering, hyperparameter tuning, understanding, debugging, refining, and comparing models. Our approaches are data-agnostic, but mainly target tabular data with meaningful attributes in diverse domains, such as health care and finance. The applicability and effectiveness of this work were validated with case studies, usage scenarios, expert interviews, user studies, and critical discussions of limitations and alternative designs. The results of this dissertation provide new avenues for visual analytics research in explainable and trustworthy machine learning.
Проблематика обов’язків у політико-правовій думці епохи відродження
Authors:   Uzhhorod National University, Попович Терезія
Published: January 2023

The article is devoted to understanding the category of obligation in the political and legal thought of the Renaissance. The study analyzes the works of F. Bacon, N. Machiavelli, J. Bodin and J. Althusius. Considering the views of F. Bacon, the author concludes that Bacon’s understanding of obligations is based on the established commandment of love, which should be guided by man in his actions and deeds. Thus, Bacon, above all, speaks of obligations in the Christian sense as manifestations of love of neighbor. In “Discourses on the First decade of Titus Livius”, N. Machiavelli outlines a kind of “obligation” of the republic and the prince to refrain from insulting citizens. He also formulates the obligation that a virtuous citizen should follow – to forget about the insults caused to him out of love for the homeland. The main obligation of the prince, based on the work of the “The Prince”, is the art of war. In addition to the above, it is also the obligation of the princes to try to retain power, to win, regardless of the means they use to do so. Regarding the people, the prince has such obligations as: to reward gifted citizens, to persuade them to quietly engage in crafts and trade, to arrange their possessions, but also to engage citizens in celebrations and spectacles at the right time. The author concludes that the issue of obligations in Machiavelli is wrapped up in political goals, which are ultimately aimed at preserving, strengthening the state, cohesion of the people. In Boden’s political and legal conception, it is the category of obligation (obligation between subject and sovereign) that forms citizenship, underlies the understanding of the law (as the sovereign’s order to exercise its power), and is associated with the first attribute of sovereignty. In this case, the sovereign and the citizen are bound by mutual obligations – the sovereign provides protection of the citizens and his property, and the citizens – obeys the will of the sovereign and shows faith and obedience to authority. Views on the obligations of the German thinker J. Althusius are set out in his work “Politica”, analyzing which, the author concludes that the whole system of obligations of J. Althusius is based on God’s commandments, the commandments of love of neighbor.

The scientific article, based on the works of domestic scientists, researchers and modern legislation, highlights current issues of the introduction of artificial intelligence in the process of making and implementing management decisions. The authors emphasize the existence of different views of scholars on the definition of the concept of legal management, its relationship with the concept of law practice management. The vision of various scholars to define the concept of managerial decision-making is also analyzed. Find out why this component of the above area is so important and significant. In addition, the authors of the study explain what are the technologies of artificial intelligence and how widely they are used in leading countries. The most famous examples of the use of such intelligent systems in decision making are identified. The experience of foreign countries on the use of artificial intelligence in the process of legal activity is analyzed. Find out what specific tools are used to provide effective legal assistance to clients in these countries. The authors also study the existence of such tools for legal activity in Ukraine. The scientific article also provides a thorough analysis of Ukrainian legislation. The normative legal acts regulating the introduction of artificial intelligence in various spheres of the economy, in particular, in legal management, are analyzed. The authors of the article also propose a specific addition to the Civil Code of Ukraine, which would help to effectively implement artificial intelligence. Another new piece of legislation to regulate this issue was also presented. This explains the advantages of law firms that use modern technology over those that do not. Based on this, the authors also describe their model of introducing artificial intelligence in the field of legal management. Thus, the article emphasizes the importance of introducing the described changes to the legislation and the model proposed by them.
Cepelix na Centralnym, czyli nowohucianie jako twórcy ludowi

Published: January 2023

The goal of this paper is to expose and analyze the contemporary folklore of the industrial discrit of Kraków called Nowa Huta. „City without God”, how it was created and named, played a significant role in the Polish resistant movement during communist times. Stories of that period are crucial for Nowa Huta citizens, first of all for their indentity, but also for district’s image and marketing. Since the post-war times there is a shop „Cepelia” placed in Central Square of Ronald Reagan in Nowa Huta, Kraków. CPLiA (Centrala Przemysłu Ludowego i Artystycznego, what means: Headquarters of the Folk and Artistic Industry) all the communist period long was govermental branch responsible for folk arts & crafts. In fact it was a huge buissnes employing over 20 000 people to design, create and sell folk art which pleased the socialist party. The shop in Nowa Huta was one connected to this network, however after political transformation in 90s of 20th centrury it changed as well. Cepelia became Cepelix. Nowadays (research was conducted in 2014 and 2022) one can find there some folk art, but also modern design connected to the district indentity and history. Paper contains an analysys of this new assortment and tryies to answer the question is it possible to treat it as a folklore as well as the other items being sold there?
Factors associated with early weaning and spatial pattern of breastfeeding in territory in the Zona da Mata of Pernambuco, Brazil
Authors: Holanda Eliane Rolim de , Silva Isabela Lemos da
Published: January 2023

Abstract Objectives: to assess factors associated with early weaning and the pattern of spatial distribution of breastfeeding in the ascription territory of a Basic Health Unit (BHU). Methods: analytic cross-sectional study performed with 47 mothers of children under 2 years of age in a BHU from Vitória de Santo Antão, Pernambuco. The association of independent variables and early weaning was verified using bivariate and multivariate analysis. For spatial analysis of cases of breastfeeding, we applied Kernel density estimation, proximity analysis buffers of the addresses of participants to the Health Unit and flow map. Results: the prevalence of early weaning was 61.7% (CI95% = 47.8-75.6). Factors associated with early weaning were: distance of residence to the BHU higher than 500 meters, not being primiparous, non-participation in educational groups for pregnant women during prenatal period and use of nursing bottles. Being beneficiary of welfare program Bolsa Família and residing in a home with piped water constituted a protective factor for this outcome. Two clusters of early weaning cases were found in locations further away from the BHUs. Conclusions: there was high prevalence of early weaning and association of this outcome with the home-health unit displacement, being primiparous, non-participation of pregnant women in educational activities during prenatal period and use of nursing bottles.
Motor development of children exposed to the zika virus: systematic reviews
Authors: Ribeiro Maysa Ferreira Martins , Queiróz Karla Beatriz Presto de , Prudente Cejane Oliveira Martins
Published: January 2023

Abstract Objectives: to describe the motor development, in the first two years of life, of children with evidence of congenital Zika virus syndrome (CZS) at birth and of children exposed to the Zika virus (ZIKV) during pregnancy, but without evidence of CZS. Methods: systematic review, according to the recommendations of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews (PRISMA). The search took place in the VHL/LILACS interface and BIREME/ PubMed interface databases until March 2020. Two researchers analyzed the quality of the studies using the Johanna Briggs Institute methodology. Results: 21 articles were selected. Children with CZS have severe impairment of motor functions and a high prevalence of spastic cerebral palsy. At two years of life, most reached only early levels of motor development; with impaired vision, hearing, language, cognition, behavior, and social interaction. On the other hand, children exposed to ZIKV, but without evidence of CZS, are at lower risk, about 20% have late manifestations of delay and/or neurodevelopmental disorder. Variables associated with greater motor impairment are early maternal infection, preterm birth, lower head circumference, abnormal imaging, use of anticonvulsant, increasing age, arthrogryposis, epilepsy, deficits in vision, language, cognition, and lower income. Conclusion: Most children with CZS show severe motor impairment; a small part of those exposed to ZIKV, without evidence of the syndrome at birth, have alteration in neurodevelopment. Those children should be followed in the long-term, since some manifestations may occur belatedly.

Generating Random SAT Instances: Multiple Solutions could be Predefined and Deeply Hidden

Published: January 2023

The generation of SAT instances is an important issue in computer science, and it is useful for researchers to verify the effectiveness of SAT solvers. Addressing this issue could inspire researchers to propose new search strategies. SAT problems exist in various real-world applications, some of which have more than one solution. However, although several algorithms for generating random SAT instances have been proposed, few can be used to generate hard instances that have multiple predefined solutions. In this paper, we propose the KHidden-M algorithm to generate SAT instances with multiple predefined solutions that could be hard to solve by the local search strategy when the number of predefined solutions is small enough and the Hamming distance between them is not less than half of the solution length. Specifically, first, we generate an SAT instance that is satisfied by all of the predefined solutions. Next, if the generated SAT instance does not satisfy the hardness condition, then a strategy will be conducted to adjust clauses through multiple iterations to improve the hardness of the whole instance. We propose three strategies to generate the SAT instance in the first part. The first strategy is called the random strategy, which randomly generates clauses that are satisfied by all of the predefined solutions. The other two strategies are called the estimating strategy and greedy strategy, and using them, we attempt to generate an instance that directly satisfies or is closer to the hardness condition for the local search strategy. We employ two SAT solvers (i.e., WalkSAT and Kissat) to investigate the hardness of the SAT instances generated by our algorithm in the experiments. The experimental results show the effectiveness of the random, estimating and greedy strategies. Compared to the state-of-the-art algorithm for generating SAT instances with predefined solutions, namely, M-hidden, our algorithm could be more effective in generating hard SAT instances.
