Share the code, not just the data: A case study of the reproducibility of articles published in the Journal of Memory and Language under the open data policy
Authors: Laurinavichyute Anna , Yadav Himanshu , Vasishth Shravan
Published: September 2021

In 2019 the Journal of Memory and Language instituted an open data and code policy; this policy requires that, as a rule, code and data be released at the latest upon publication. How effective is this policy? We compared 59 papers published before, and 59 papers published after, the policy took effect. After the policy was in place, the rate of data sharing increased by more than 50%. We further looked at whether papers published under the open data policy were reproducible, in the sense that the published results should be possible to regenerate given the data, and given the code, when code was provided. For 8 out of the 59 papers, data sets were inaccessible. The reproducibility rate ranged from 34% to 56%, depending on the reproducibility criteria. The strongest predictor of whether an attempt to reproduce would be successful is the presence of the analysis code: it increases the probability of reproducing reported results by almost 40%. We propose two simple steps that can increase the reproducibility of published papers: share the analysis code, and attempt to reproduce one’s own analysis using only the shared materials.

Published: September 2021

Objective: Research conducted with young adults has consistently identified cannabis use motives as a predictor for cannabis use and problems, but comparatively few studies have examined cannabis motives in adult samples. Furthermore, although substantive evidence has identified links between cannabis use and psychiatric conditions, limited research has examined the intersection of cannabis use, motives, and psychopathology. The present study sought to characterize cannabis use motives in an adult sample and investigate whether those motives would link relationships between cannabis misuse and psychiatric symptoms. Method: Participants (N=395; M age=34.8; %F=47.6; % White = 81.3%) completed assessments related to cannabis misuse, cannabis use motives, and symptoms of depression, anxiety, PTSD, and somatic experiences. Bivariate correlations, hierarchical regressions, and subsequently, mediation analyses were performed to examine associations between motives and cannabis misuse, and to investigate whether particular motives would link the relationship between cannabis misuse and psychiatric symptoms. Results: Analyses revealed statistically significant, unique associations between cannabis misuse and Social (β = .13), Enhancement (β = .12) and, particularly, Coping motives (β = .48). Further, Coping fully linked the relationship between level of cannabis misuse and depressive, anxiety, PTSD, and somatic symptoms. Conclusion: These results lend support for a negative reinforcement motivational profile as the predominant pattern in adult cannabis users, especially with regard to concurrent symptoms of cannabis use disorder and psychopathology. These results suggest that targeting maladaptive coping with cannabis may prove an effective treatment target in addressing co-occurring cannabis misuse and psychopathology.
Quantifying cognateness: A comparison of methods for determining cognate status
Authors: Fahey Danielle , Tasseva-Kurktchieva Mila
Published: September 2021

Cognates, words with overlapping form and meaning, are used extensively in psycholinguistic investigations of bilingual processing. Previous research varied in the use of different qualitative and quantitative descriptions of cognates. Definitions have relied upon researchers’ perceptions, and decisions on cognate status have been defined by scores from either bilingual perceptual data or theoretical cross-linguistic differences. To determine which theoretical method for comparison most closely aligns with perceptual ratings of spoken words, we asked Spanish-English bilinguals to rate the similarity of sets of cognate pairs they heard. Rating scores were compared to 5 quantitative methods: standard methods such as orthographic and IPA Levenshtein distances, Van Orden’s, and Weber’s; plus, a novel method weighting phonological features. Comparisons of methods showed that orthographic differences were more predictive than phonological differences, suggesting that orthographic comparison methods are valid, and that orthographic representations are activated during auditory processing.

Published: September 2021

Maternal sensitivity and supportive discipline are important determinants of child self-regulation. Some evidence suggests that specific genetic or temperamental markers determine children’s susceptibility to the impact of maternal parenting on child self-regulation. Cortisol reactivity as a susceptibility marker moderating the relation between maternal parenting and child self-regulation has not yet been studied. In this longitudinal population-based study (N=258), the moderating role of infant cortisol stress response to the Strange Situation Procedure at age 1 was examined in the association between parenting (sensitivity and supportive discipline) at age 3 and child self-regulation at age 3 and 4. Maternal sensitivity and supportive discipline were related to child immediate and prolonged delay of gratification at age 3, and maternal sensitivity was related to working memory skills at age 4. No evidence of differential susceptibility to maternal parenting was found, based on differences in infant cortisol stress response.

Authors: Khanal A , Sondhi A , Giri S
Published: September 2021

Introduction: Solid waste management is a major issue in Nepal with Kathmandu valley generating the highest amount of solid waste. After recovery, the solid waste generated in Kathmandu valley is transferred to the Sisdol landfill site. There are waste workers in Sisdol landfill site who sustain their livelihood by collecting recyclables from those wastes. Personal protective equipment (PPE) is necessary to protect the frontline waste workers against infection. In addition, the waste workers need to know the proper usage of PPE in order to protect themselves from contamination. This study aimed to assess the awareness and proper usage of PPE along with the challenges faced by the waste workers at Sisdol landfill site.

Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted to collect data from landfill waste workers of Sisdol located at Kakani Rural Municipality in Nuwakot district of Nepal. A convenience sampling method was used based on the availability of landfill waste workers on that day and their willingness to participate. The data was collected using the structured questionnaire and personal interview of available waste workers.

Results: The study comprised of 65% female and 35% male waste workers. The highest percentage of waste workers belong to 27-37 age group occupying 43% of total respondents.  Around 92% waste workers had participated in any orientation/training or session related to PPE and its usage. About 60% landfill waste workers were found only using mask and gloves.

Conclusion: There is small number of waste workers who wish to wear full set of PPE. Most of them only like to wear mask and gloves. The gender, age group and the education level of waste workers had no association with the usage of PPE during the work.

The Scientific Revolution in Cartography (the 1950s and the 1960s): Its Origins and Consequences
Authors: Chibryakov Yaroslav
Published: September 2021

Cette étude décrit la révolution scientifique qui se produit en cartographie au tournant des années 1960 (et que nous proposons de nommer « révolution méthodologique »). Dans les premières phases de son existence en tant que science indépendante, la cartographie est liée de près au concept de chorologie tel qu’il s’emploie en géographie, et la cartographie économique de Baranskiy est l’une des premières options à concurrencer cette cartographie chorologique. La révolution méthodologique a deux sources. La première est la révolution quantitative en géographie, qui se manifeste par l’intégration des modèles topologiques au domaine de la cartographie, par son influence sur la cartographie d’objets et de phénomènes et sur la généralisation et la théorie des projections cartographiques et, en général, par sa contribution à l’usage actif des méthodes mathématiques en cartographie. La seconde est la formulation et le développement de la théorie sur la méthode de recherche cartographique. La révolution méthodologique provoque un changement de paradigme, entre celui qui s’inspire de la chorologie et celui de la « nouvelle cartographie ». L’établissement de la dualité essentielle des cartes géographiques par Bunge et Kansky (les cartes allient les propriétés du langage et du modèle) contribue à l’émergence de plusieurs concepts qui coexistent au sein de la « nouvelle cartographie ». Ce nouveau paradigme allait préparer la cartographie à son entrée dans le monde des technologies numériques.

Authors: Parmar Parmvir , Hosseini Sarah , Suh Kathryn N , MacFadden Derek
Published: September 2021

Clostridioides (Clostridium) difficile is a well-known cause of enteritis and antibiotic-associated diarrhea. Extraintestinal C. difficile infection is uncommon, with most extraintestinal infections involving the intra-abdominal cavity and anatomic structures adjacent to the colon. Empyema secondary to C. difficile is especially rare, with only a handful of cases reported in the medical literature. A standard antibiotic treatment regimen for C. difficile empyema does not currently exist, and data chronicling successful treatment is limited. We present the case of an 80-year-old woman with a polymicrobial C. difficile empyema who was successfully treated with multiple chest tube insertions and intravenous vancomycin.

Authors: Andreieva Nataliia
Published: September 2021

Pre-start anxiety of young athletes is accompanied by high levels of anxiety and muscle tension, which together can cause a risk of neuroticism of the child. Therefore, an integral part of the educational and training process in rhythmic gymnastics is psychological work with athletes, which should be extended to the stages of preliminary basic training. To increase the psychological preparedness of young athletes in rhythmic gymnastics at the stage of preliminary basic training, it is necessary to determine the factors influencing their pre-start condition. The purpose of the article is to establish the most influential factors and external factors that determine the pre-start condition of gymnasts at the stage of preliminary basic training. Research methods: analysis, systematization and generalization of data of scientific literature, questionnaires, method of expert assessments, statistical analysis of personal data. Using the method of expert evaluations, it was possible to establish the consistency of opinions of 15 coaches who have been working in the specialty for 15 years. These coaches later formed an expert group. Result. It was found that among the most decisive external factors influencing the pre-start condition of gymnasts, experts call the spirit of rivalry, lack of competitive experience and the presence of spectators. At the same time, they indicated fatigue and peculiarities of character and temperament as the most determining internal factors. The selected factors should be taken into account when planning activities aimed at the psychological preparation of young athletes in rhythmic gymnastics for competitive activities in the training process at the stage of preliminary basic training. The prospect of further research is the development of methods for optimizing the pre-start condition of athletes in rhythmic gymnastics and the formation of their skills of self-regulation in the training process at the stage of initial basic training.

TERRORISMO: o recrutamento virtual de crianças e adolescentes e o papel da educação
Authors: Fagundes Carlos Frederico Felício
Published: September 2021

Este artigo, produzido em junho de 2020, analisa o recrutamento de crianças e adolescentes por grupos terroristas nas plataformas das redes sociais e o papel da educação quanto à prevenção e ao combate a esse fenômeno. O terrorismo nunca esteve tão em evidência como atualmente, haja vista a sequência de atentados deflagrados, principalmente nos países ocidentais, revelando que se mantém em plena atividade, mesmo depois da reação norte-americana após o dia 11 de setembro. No entanto, tem-se visto que, em grande parte dos ataques, os autores são indivíduos de origem estrangeira (ocidentais ou naturalizados), radicalizados e recrutados por meio da Internet, e, destes, uma parcela significativa é formada por crianças e adolescentes. Para desenvolver esta análise, o manuscrito apresenta a seguinte estrutura: além da introdução, na qual fez-se um breve relato acerca da temática, a primeira parte contempla dados e informações sobre o uso da Internet pelo público infantojuvenil e descreve o modo como alguns grupos terroristas têm se servido dessa tecnologia. Já a segunda aponta as transformações após 11 de setembro, em especial quanto à estrutura organizacional dos grupos extremistas. Aborda também a questão da radicalização e delineia o motivo pelo qual os radicais vêm conferindo especial interesse ao recrutamento de crianças e adolescentes. A parte final traz uma reflexão a respeito do papel da educação como ferramenta de combate e conclui com considerações e sugestões direcionadas às instituições escolares, às famílias e às autoridades governamentais no que diz respeito à prevenção e ao combate à radicalização de indivíduos jovens no ambiente virtual.

OFENSIVA À CIFRA DOURADA DA CRIMINALIDADE: um olhar criminológico acerca da atuação da Polícia Federal no início do século XXI
Authors: Meireles Fábio Caram
Published: September 2021

Perpassa pela história de formação e conformação do Brasil a noção criminológica de que, a despeito de a cultura jurídica nacional ser fundada em uma pretensa igualdade, há um impetuoso viés discriminatório no que tange ao tratamento igualitário material nos âmbitos criminal e penal para a população como um todo. Paulatinamente, as vicissitudes sociais têm promovido uma aproximação da igualdade formal com a material, entre as quais uma reformulação seletiva da atuação dos órgãos de persecução criminal, com vistas à legitimação da atuação repressiva estatal sob a égide do império da lei. Este artigo demonstra, com a contribuição do lastro teórico criminológico, como a Polícia Federal (PF) tem alterado o seu panorama técnico-investigativo, bem como as consequências desta novel atuação na tessitura social.

Published: September 2021

A deflagração de grandes operações de combate à corrupção pela Polícia Federal é resultado do fortalecimento no país da web of accountability institutions, rede de entidades que atuam na supervisão, investigação e punição de atos relacionados a condutas administrativas. Este artigo analisa o perfil de servidor público que atua no combate a crimes financeiros, indicando possíveis gaps entre habilidades desejadas e encontradas nesses profissionais. Também é objeto de investigação a percepção desses profissionais quanto à comparação entre contabilidade forense e perícia criminal. Para tanto, foi realizada uma pesquisa de campo por meio da aplicação de questionário estruturado no âmbito da Polícia Federal. O resultado apontou qualidades consideradas pelos policiais como relevantes para o combate a crimes financeiros e revelou que não há pleno alcance de algumas habilidades desejadas, principalmente no que se refere ao uso de ferramentas computacionais. Ademais, as evidências sugerem que há incerteza se a contabilidade forense e a perícia criminal são a mesma atividade. O avanço proporcionado pela pesquisa se revela no amadurecimento da discussão em torno do perfil profissional adequado para o enfrentamento dos crimes financeiros e na maior divulgação da contabilidade forense no Brasil.

Published: September 2021

Aqueles que têm por atribuição manifestarem-se sobre o grau de conformidade dos registros financeiros gerados por sistemas internos ou externos têm demandado um desenvolvimento contínuo de ferramentas destinadas ao exame analítico de grandes conjuntos de dados digitais. Alinhando-se às demais técnicas estatísticas de seleção de amostras de auditoria amplamente empregadas pelos profissionais que militam nesse setor, vem ganhando notoriedade a aplicação da Lei de Benford como instrumento de direcionamento do trabalho dos responsáveis por mensurarem o nível de conformidade dos gastos realizados por pessoas físicas ou jurídicas. Nesse cenário, o confronto entre frequências observadas e frequências esperadas para o primeiro, segundo e dois primeiros dígitos, de um dado número, pode direcionar e racionalizar procedimentos mais criteriosos de comprovação do gasto para determinados documentos e, consequentemente, identificar indivíduos que estejam cometendo fraudes, erros ou irregularidades no processo de prestação de contas de valores destinados ao custeio de despesas.

Editorial: GARANTIZAR QUE EL DELITO NO RESULTE PROVECHOSO (CRIME DOESN´T PAY)
Authors: Aguado-Correa Teresa
Published: September 2021

La recuperación de activos se ha convertido en un eje transversal de la política criminal a nivel mundial. Seguir el rastro del dinero y recuperar los activos es prioritario en la lucha contra la delincuencia, en particular, la delincuencia organizada, la corrupción, el blanqueo de capitales y la financiación del terrorismo. Para garantizar que el delito no resulte provechoso (“Crime doesn´t pay”), dos medidas han adquirido en los últimos años gran protagonismo a nivel mundial: el embargo preventivo y el decomiso. No obstante, estas medidas sólo pueden ser aplicadas eficazmente si se basan en un sistema igualmente eficiente de identificación y seguimiento preventivo de los productos del delito, incluidos aquellos que han sido objeto de blanqueo de capitales. La lucha contra la delincuencia mediante el embargo y el decomiso depende de un enfoque global y mundial que abarque tanto la cooperación judicial como la de los servicios de investigación, facetas complementarias e indisociables de una misma política.

Published: September 2021

Duplication of the internal auditory canal is a rare entity. It can be unilateral or bilateral involvement and usually found during an investigation of sensorineural hearing loss or facial nerve palsy. We report this image finding in a child with Down syndrome with bilateral profound sensorineural hearing loss. There was no facial nerve palsy. We highlight the rarity of this image finding and the importance of imaging for detection of middle and inner ear abnormality in a case of congenital sensorineural hearing loss as it helps in decision making for the suitable treatment.

Measurement of Inflammation-Related Biomarkers in Different Chronic Kidney Diseases in Humans: Role of Aging and Gender?
Authors: Ahmad Abdulla , Ajeel Mohammed , Aldabbagh Karam
Published: September 2021

INTRODUCTION: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a worldwide health problem which becomes a substantial emerging cause of morbidity. The inflammation can be resulted via different mechanisms in different kidney diseases including the imbalance of proinflammatory/anti-inflammatory biomarkers levels. This study aimed to measure the level of physiological bioactive substances as inflammation-related biomarkers in different CKD and to investigate whether gender or aging is critical in these measurements. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 84 persons (19 healthy, 29 chronic glomerulonephritis, 26 diabetic nephropathy, 6 benign nephrosclerosis, 4 lupus nephritis) were enrolled in this study. The inflammation progression degree in CKD was estimated by measuring the plasma level of neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP1), and clusterin (CLU) using ELISA. Serum total protein, urea and creatinine were measured using an automatic analyzer. RESULTS: Plasma level of urea and creatinine was increased while total protein level was decreased in all the patients compared to control participants. The level of NGAL, MCP1 and CLU was significantly increased in all the kidney diseases compared to controls. In addition, there were no differences in the level of inflammation-related markers between women and men. Moreover, the levels of inflammatory markers were increased in the kidney diseases regardless of the age difference. CONCLUSIONS: This study showed that the physiological bioactive substances NGAL, MCP1 and CLU can be increased in renal pathologies and considered as good indicators of progression of inflammation in chronic kidney diseases, with no role of gender and age in their increment plasma levels.

Authors: Fadzil Ahmad
Published: September 2021

Protracted wet and productive chronic cough is a symptom that indicate there is an underlying cause and the possibility vary from a simple to serious medical conditions. If the cough is accompanied with specific pointers in signs and symptoms, the diagnosis is apparent. Nevertheless, the challenge is to identify the diagnosis in children who cough without specific pointers. Recently, protracted bacterial bronchitis is one of the conditions that was proposed and postulated to conceive this clinical presentation. Since then, the understanding of PBB has escalated and deepened. However, there is still no unanimous consensus in definition, pathophysiology, diagnostic, treatment, long term outcome and even the entity itself. Further research is required to refine understanding of this condition in several facets therefore patients can be treated accordingly.

Published: September 2021

Introduction: The prevalence of diabetes mellitus is increasing globally, despite the best current therapies available. A large diversity of animal models has been developed for better understanding the pathogenesis of diabetes mellitus. This study aimed to develop a rat model that mimics the metabolic characteristics of human type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods: Twenty-four male Sprague–Dawley rats (200–250 g) were divided into two groups and fed either a commercially available standard pellet diet (n=8) or a self-prepared high-fat diet (HFD) (n=16) for 6 weeks. HFD-fed rats were significantly obese compared to standard-fed rats. Eight of the obese rats were injected a single low dose of streptozotocin (STZ) at 35 mg/kg intraperitoneally to induce type 2 diabetic rat (T2DR) and were monitored for 6 weeks. Results: The weekly fasting blood glucose levels (FBG) in T2DR remained consistently high throughout the 6 weeks. The T2DR group exhibits decreased body weight, increased water intake, increased 24-hour urine volume with microalbuminuria, hyperlipidemia, altered liver and kidney functions, and structural changes of the islet of Langerhans. Conclusion: This model simulates the natural disease progression and metabolic characteristics of type 2 diabetic patients. This model mimics the human syndrome that can be maintained at a reasonable cost, and easy to develop.

Published: September 2021

Introduction: Accreditation standards for pharmacy students’ education include the requirement for experiential education (EE) and acknowledge, in building life-long learning skills, the need to develop students’ skills in analysing their practice-based performance. The goal of this qualitative study was to assess students’ ability to reflect on their experience providing face-to-face care to patients with a history of substance use disorders (PHSUDs).
Materials and methods: Interviews were conducted with undergraduate pharmacy students who provided care to PHSUDs in an EE programme. An interview guide was used to explore students’ experiences and their perceptions regarding the challenges they encountered, changes in their attitude towards PHSUDs and ways to improve their ability to care for PHSUDs. Data relevant to the study was extracted from interview transcripts, manually sorted and coded using Microsoft Excel and subjected to thematic analysis. 
Results: The themes identified were 1) Increased self-confidence in face-to-face interactions with PHSUDs 2) Increased empathy towards PHSUDS 3) Reduction in stigmatised attitudes towards PHSUDs 4) Positive nature of the interactions with PHSUDs 5) Appreciation for the opportunity to apply knowledge in practice 6) Recognition of the need for improved communication skill training 7) Recognition of the need to improve training for dealing with unexpected questions and situations.
Conclusion: Pharmacy students demonstrated reflective skills in identifying multiple positive learning outcomes stemming from a one-day EE programme involving PHSUDs. In addition, they provided insights useful to faculty in curriculum planning.
Performance comparisons of triple friction pendulum bearings with different sliding surface properties
Authors: Zulfakar Muhamad , Karakaş Ali İhsan
Published: September 2021

In this study the time history analyses are carried out three dimensionally for a simple five-story concrete structure seismically isolated incorporating triple friction pendulum bearings with different sliding surface properties with the help of the ABAQUS finite element program. The altering friction surface properties are friction coefficient and radius of curvature. The performances of the various isolators are compared with each other as well as with those of a fixed based structure. For this purpose, maximum relative story displacements, story accelerations and column base shear forces are investigated as seismic reactions. According to the analysis results it can be stated that the seismic reactions of isolated structures are significantly reduced when compared to those of the fixed supported structure. Additionally, when triple friction pendulum bearing isolators with different friction coefficients and friction surface radii are compared, it can be observed that increasing the friction coefficient increases the reactions of the structure while increasing the friction surface radii decreases the reactions

Published: September 2021

To investigate the correlation between the gene copy number variation and female infertility we collected 3962 female infertility samples and analyzed copy number variation (CNV) using high-throughput sequencing technologies. In this study 269 CNVs were found in 246 samples, 17 of which were new CNVs. The occurrence of CNVs was mostly found in X chromosome, and some candidate genes related to female infertility were screened. We also found some high frequency CNVs, which contain important functional genes. This study filled the blank of CNV research on femaleinfertility and discovered the characteristics of CNV (CNV preference, recurrent CNV), which provided genetic reference for female infertility.

As mídias sociais como tecnologias de si
Authors: Assunção Alysson Bruno M. , Jorge Thaïs Mendonça
Published: September 2021

A partir do conceito foucaultiano de “tecnologias de si”, esse trabalho busca abordar as das mídias sociais e suas possíveis influências nos modelos de expressão das individualidades que delas decorrem. Dado o cenário de intensificação do uso de aparatos relacionais móveis, como smartphones e tablets, procurou-se compreender as implicações na constituição de subjetividades e apresentação de comportamentos favorecidos por determinados tipos de interação virtual na vida cotidiana. São observados o contexto atual de acesso, interfaces e compartilhamento de informações, o status de realidade presente nas interações e eventuais consequências da utilização dessas ferramentas no agenciamento das subjetividades no âmbito da cultura contemporânea.

Interspecific and intraspecific differences in pectoral-fins spine morphology in Nile River and Lake Nasser catfishes, Siluriformes
Authors: Jawad L.A. , Farrag M.M.S. , Park J.M.
Published: September 2021

The structure of the pectoral fins spine of 4 catfish species Heterobranchus longifilis, Clarias gariepinus, Chrysichthys auratus, Synodontis schall and Synodontis serratus were described. The fish specimens were collected from Asyut City and Lake Nasser about 319 and 900 Km south of the capital Cairo, Egypt respectively on 10 November 2017 are described. The species examined showed variation in the shape of the spine-shaft tip varies from finely to broadly and rounded pointed; the curvature of the spine-shaft is either straight or curved partially or complete; the anterior serrae varies between is either broad or irregular; the anterior ridge groove is well developed, deep, and curved, with some pores in some species; the anterior dentations varies between short and sometimes are merged together or curved and their number decreased towards the tip; the posterior dentations can vary between absent or long and numerous and sometimes increased in their number towards the tip of the spine; the dorsal, anterior and ventral processes are well developed structures, with rounded, flange-like, and the shape of the basal fossa varies in having narrow, elongated, boat-shape, with high walls at sides; and very wide fossa and lunate in shape. It is usually deep with high walls.
Decapod Crustaceans of the Kara Sea: species composition and peculiarities of distribution
Authors: Zimina O.L.
Published: September 2021

This paper presents data on species composition and peculiarities of distribution of Decapoda in the southern part of Kara Sea obtained during trawl surveys in 2012 and 2016. In total, 11 species of decapod crustaceans were collected. In the last decade the fauna has been enriched by the invasion of the snow crab Chionoecetes opilio. Brief information on the environmental conditions of occurrence and maps of distribution in the studied area are presented for each species. The highest values of species richness (up to 6 species per catch), biomass and abundance of decapods were detected on the western slope of Priyamal shallow at 50–150 m depth range. According to the patterns of distribution and environmental conditions, three groups of species were distinguished: associated with cold and salty waters of Novaya Zemlya Trough; inhabiting lower salinity waters with a wide temperature range of the Priyamal and Ob-Yenisei shallows; and a group that is widespread within the area in wide range of conditions. In comparison with the neighboring Barents Sea, the decapod fauna of the Kara Sea is qualitatively and quantitatively depleted. The obtained data on the distribution of individual species and ecological groups can be used for the background assessment of the state of the decapod fauna, including the period of population formation of the alien species.
Zadośćuczynienie za „zmarnowany urlop” w świetle orzecznictwa sądowego
Authors: Gibasiewicz Dariusz Rafał
Published: September 2021

Artykuł ten dotyczy kwestii zadośćuczynienia za krzywdę za "zmarnowany urlop", które jest prezentowane w świetle orzecznictwa sądowego. Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie i analiza pojęcia "zmarnowanego urlopu" oraz skutków prawnych jego wystąpienia. Analiza ta prowadzona jest w oparciu o przepisy prawne i orzecznictwo sądowe. Zagadnienie "zmarnowanego urlopu" i roszczeń o zadośćuczynienie za krzywdę z nim związaną staje się coraz istotniejsze ze względu na zwiększoną aktywność turystów i rosnącą liczbę zawieranych umów o świadczenie usług turystycznych. Należy również podkreślić, że z roku na rok zwiększa się również znajomość prawa w tym zakresie wśród osób zawierających takie umowy. Przyczyny "zmarnowanego urlopu" mogą być bardzo różne; w niniejszym opracowaniu dzieli się je na typowe (stosunkowo częste) i nietypowe (znacznie rzadsze). Niezależnie jednak od przyczyn "zmarnowanego urlopu", polskie sądy mają dziś dość jasne i precyzyjne wskazówki, jak rozstrzygać takie sprawy.
Aspekty procesowe sporu o wpis do rejestru akcjonariuszy
Authors: Suliński Grzegorz
Published: September 2021

Nowelizacja przepisu art. 328 ksh wprowadziła dematerializację akcji spółki niepublicznej. Postać dokumentowa akcji zastąpiona została wpisem do rejestru akcjonariuszy. W konsekwencji zmianie uległy także zasady dotyczące rozporządzenia akcją. Jej zbycie lub ustanowienie na niej ograniczonego prawa rzeczowego wymaga – oprócz zawarcia umowy zobowiązującej – dokonania wpisu do rejestru akcjonariuszy. Wpisu dokonuje podmiot prowadzący rejestr na podstawie przedłożonych przez żądającego wpisu dokumentów obejmujących oświadczenia woli stron czynności zobowiązującej do zbycia akcji lub ustanowienia na niej ograniczonego prawa rzeczowego, chyba że poweźmie uzasadnione wątpliwości odnośnie dopuszczalności wpisu.
Celem artykułu jest identyfikacja zakresu podmiotowego sporów mogących powstać na tle wpisu oraz próba udzielenia odpowiedzi na pytanie o rodzaj środków prawnych jakie może podjąć strona – lub strony – czynności prawnej, której prawa są naruszone poprzez odmowę wpisu albo dokonanie go wbrew jej stanowisku. Przeprowadzone rozważania zdają się uzasadniać wniosek, że właściwym instrumentem prawa procesowego służącym ochronie praw osoby domagającej się bądź dokonania wpisu bądź też jego wykreślenia jest powództwo o zasądzenie określonego zachowania, przy czym legitymacja bierna przysługuje podmiotowi prowadzącemu rejestr. Tylko bowiem orzeczenie wydane w stosunku do niego zapewnia efektywną możliwość uzyskania ochrony prawnej przez występującego z żądaniem.
