Trademark Problem of “TRUMP TOO SMALL”
Authors: Grynberg Michael
Published: April 2023

Consider the phrase—and my apologies for asking—“Trump too small.” It comes from the 2016 campaign for the Republican presidential nomination. A back-and-forth between Donald Trump and Florida Senator Marco Rubio culminated in a debate exchange about the size of Trump’s penis. This cultural low prompted one Steve Elster to seek registration of the trademark TRUMP TOO SMALL for use on shirts. The Patent and Trademark Office (“PTO”) refused, relying on section 2(c) of the Lanham Act, which bars registering a mark that “[c]onsists of or comprises a name, portrait, or signature identifying a particular living individual” absent written consent.
In re Elster reversed the PTO’s rejection of Elster’s application. The Federal Circuit ruled that applying the section 2(c) bar to TRUMP TOO SMALL would unduly burden Elster’s First Amendment rights. This is nonsense. If we are concerned with burdens on speech, the larger issue is the prospect that registering the mark would create opportunities to limit others’ ability to use the phrase as speech. But it is nonsense well-grounded in recent Supreme Court opinions that use the First Amendment to strike down the Lanham Act’s bars to registering disparaging and scandalous marks.
First Amendment implications aside, Elster highlights the bind facing the PTO when presented with low-quality trademarks. TRUMP TOO SMALL is not an effective brand name. When seen on a T-shirt, the phrase will naturally be read as an insulting commentary on the former President, not as a source indicator. But trademark law allows logos and slogans to be protected as merchandise. Even if the TRUMP TOO SMALL application is intended to support a merchandising play, that is not enough reason in and of itself to deny the registration.
But apparent merchandising efforts like TRUMP TOO SMALL are different in kind from merchandising related to sports or university paraphernalia, for they lack any pre-existing goodwill to monetize. In effect, many would-be merchandisers are free riders, seeking to reap where they have not sown by capitalizing on cultural moments or other circumstances unconnected to their efforts. Trademark law lacks an effective vocabulary for these situations, placing significant pressure on nebulous doctrines like “failure to function” that may not be able to bear the weight increasingly placed on them to screen out low-quality trademarks. In re Elster thus illustrates a problem relating not to the First Amendment but rather to the choice to make trademark doctrine the vehicle for vindicating markholders’ merchandising interests.
Case for the CCB: A Defense of the Constitutionality of the Copyright Claims Board
Authors: Vischio Adam
Published: April 2023

Copyright litigation is expensive. Since copyright is federal law, disputes must be heard in federal court. Federal litigation can be prohibitively costly for creators bringing small claims, essentially leaving them with a right without a remedy against infringement of their work. Congress sought to alleviate this financial burden in 2020 when it passed the Copyright Alternative in Small-Claims Enforce (“CASE”) Act, thus creating the Copyright Claims Board (“CCB”) to adjudicate small copyright disputes.

Opponents raised constitutional concerns about the CCB throughout the legislative process. The concerns included the fact that the CCB officers would wield unreviewable power and that Congress cannot set up non-Article III courts to hear cases involving public rights. Critics renewed their concerns in the aftermath of the Supreme Court’s June 2021 decision in United States v. Arthrex, in which the Court found that the Patent Trial and Appeal Board administrative patent judges’ (“APJs”) wielded unreviewable authority that violated the appointments clause. Furthermore, a possible challenge to the constitutionality of the CCB could be forthcoming since the CCB is now operational.

This Note analyzes the evolution of Appointments Clause and Article III jurisprudence and finds that the CCB is constitutionally constructed. While copyright is likely a private right, the CCB is still constitutionally permitted to hear these claims because the parties voluntarily consent to use the CCB. The voluntary nature of CCB proceedings plus the fact that these small cases are typically not heard by federal courts ease Article III and reviewability concerns.

Part I provides background information to the passage of the CASE Act and explores arguments for the necessity of the CCB. Part II outlines the structure of the CCB. Parts III and IV respectively detail relevant Appointments Clause and Article III jurisprudence then apply it to the CCB. Parts V and VI discuss the possible arguments critics may lodge against the CCB in a constitutional challenge and how these invariably fall short. Finally, Part VII takes a practical look at how the Supreme Court as currently constructed might analyze the CCB’s constitutionality.
A Case Study of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus in a Female Patient
Authors: Banerjee Suvam , Semenenko Elina
Published: April 2023

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is the most common form of autoimmune disease which affects different systems of our body such as cardiovascular, nervous, respiratory, gastrointestinal, genitourinary, musculoskeletal, integumentary and immune systems. The most common patients’ complaints include problems with the skin, joints and kidneys. Symptoms vary from mild to severe, and if untreated, may result in lethal consequences. Currently, the onset of the disease is not known, and the cure for SLE is still to be found, but there exist various treatment options, which can support the patient in returning to normal life.The importance of this case report lies in the fact that it is a very rare case, and hence can be of great clinical significance and source of learning for clinicians. This is quite a unique case which highlights the association of disease with its symptoms by comparing its possible differential diagnoses, management from the history of patients to diagnosis and the unique approach undertaken in treatment. A 22-year-old female was hospitalized with the symptoms of angina, alopecia, oral ulcers and arthralgia. After extensive blood urinary analyses and renal biopsy, the patient was diagnosed with SLE. As for the final treatment decision, the patient was prescribed corticos-teroids primarily for 6 months. During treatment, the condition of the patient has improved and during post-treatment, no follow-up complaints have been registered. In summary, this case study might enhance the facility to report novel findings and better-quality therapeutic strategies. With quick, brief writing and publication rates, case studies are an essential tool for rapidly expanding the growing body of clinical knowledge

Published: April 2023

Aim: To discuss the management of rare pediatric tumor, Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor (GIST)Methods: We report a case of 1 year old male child with transverse colonic GIST. Child presented with upper abdominal lump of one month duration with no other constitutional symptoms. On examination solitary intra-abdominal lump of size 10cm and 8cm, non tender, firm, freely mobile in the umbilical region was found. Contrast enhanced CT abdomen revealed 8.3cm and 6.2cm heterogenous enhancing mass at root of the mesentery. On exploration an exophytic pedunculated mass was arising from mid transverse colon, tumor excised along with 2 cm colonic margin. Counselling done as chemotherapy was not available in children. Child has been under regular followup for the last 18 months. Results: Histopathological examination revealed GIST with high mitotic index, immuno-histochemistry (IHE) markers CD117,CD34 and DOG 1 were positive.Conclusion: Pediatric GIST is very rare and there are no well established therapeutic guidelines for the management of pediatric GIST, so needs close long term followup after surgery and further guidelines need to be established.

Published: April 2023

Mental disorders were the second leading cause of disease burden in terms of years lived with disability (YLD’s) and the sixth leading cause of disability-adjusted life-years (DALY’s) in the world in 2017, posing a serious challenge to health systems, particu-larly in low-income and middle-income countries. In India, it is estimated that nearly one-third of patients seeking help from healthcare facilities could have symptoms related to depression, and the crude prevalence rate of mood disorder was estimated to vary from as low as 0.5 to as high as 78 per 1000 population.In the current scenario the management of these mood disorders can be achieved with the help of various therapies. The bio –psycho –socio- spiritual school of mental health helps an individual attain the complete well-being so as to promote fulfillment, happiness, meaning of life, joy and character growth. Following case series, Comprehensive Psychotherapy (CPT) was applied for Bipolar Affective Disorder (BPAD) in the form of mrithyunjaya mantram. All cases claimed improvement of symptoms and quality of life with CPT. Integrating spiritual interventions into psychiatric practice may be more effective for some patients in certain conditions. CPT promotes fulfillment, happiness, joy, character growth and transformation, prevention of recurrence of psychiatric disorders
Comprehensive Psychotherapy (CPT) for Psychotic Disorders by using Gayatri Mantra(Bio Psycho Socio Spiritual Approach)
Authors: Porandla Kishan
Published: April 2023

Bio-psycho-socio-spiritual approach is the basis for CPT. In the bio-psycho-socio-spiritual approach hierarchy, spirituality takes the top place in the triangle and is effecting the functioning of all other lower levels in a bidirectional way. Spirituality is “an indi-vidual’s search for ultimate meaning of life through participation in religion and through a belief in God, family, nature, rational-ism, humanism and the arts”. All these factors can influence the patient’s health both in illness and wellness and interact with one another Biological psychiatry is good at addressing illness, but, not addressing wellness. So, psychiatry should integrate spiritual methods to help the client to promote fulfillment, happiness, meaning of life, joy, character growth. Gayatri mantra is going to give the awareness of dynamics of relatively narrow identities to broad global human identities, i.e., evolving from ‘I’ to ‘We’. CPT is a comprehensive approach in prevention of recurrence of psychiatric disorders. Here we present few case studies and observations by using gayatri mantra for psychotic disorders.
Family Medicine – Future Directions
Authors: P. Bhanushali Dilip.
Published: April 2023

A family medicine is the branch of medicine which has a low awareness, and this leads to a smaller number of young doctors pursue this branch as their preferred post-graduation. A family practitioner is different from a general physician as they are trained in an integrated curriculum which comprises of medicine, surgery with allied sciences, maternal and child health and basic sciences and community health.The National Board of Examinations conducts family medicine residency programmes at the teaching hospitals that it accredits. On successful completion of a three year residency, candidates are awarded Diplomat of National Board. The government hospital at Calicut started their MD in family medicine in the year 2011, after which many of the national and private hospitals have stated their courses in the field of family medicine. The government of India has declared Family Medicine as focus area of human resource development in health sector in the National Health Policy 2002. There is discussion ongoing to employ multi skilled doctors with DNB family medicine qualification against specialty posts in many of the rural health set up of India.There are visible barriers that hinders the growth of family medicine in India. These barriers require immediate attention from medical education regulators. Not taking into account for these barriers would hinder the growth of the branch of Family medicine in India

Pediatric age group is not an exception to stroke and is associated with higher morbidity and mortality. Infact it is more detrimen-tal in children, with morbidity being inversely proportional to age. Cerebro vascular hypoplasias are one of the causes. There are diverse and overlapping risk factors, variable clinical presentations which makes the diagnosis missed or frequently delayed. We aim to present such a missed diagnosis of anterior cerebral artery (ACA) hypoplasia presented to us with stroke
Rare Diseases - Orphan Drugs
Authors: V Chandrasekhar
Published: April 2023

Rare diseases (RDs) are a class of diseases that do not affect most of the population. Apart from the common diseases that affect most people, some severely rare diseases often pose unique challenges to society and the healthcare systems in India. According to the National Institute of Health (NIH), the F.D.A., and the National Organization for Rare Disorders (NORD), a rare disease is any disease, disorder, illness or condition affecting fewer than 200,000 people in the United States as defined by the Orphan Drug Designation Program. However, 95% of rare diseases currently have no treatment available. Healthcare Experts estimate that around 7000 rare diseases have been identified globally, out of which 450 have been reported in India, like hemophilia, thalas-semia, sickle cell anemia, and Pompe’s disease. Rare diseases come in many forms, including cancers and auto-immune diseases. Drugs for rare diseases are among the highest-priced medications on the market than other common drugs. A medical advisory board of nationally recognized and specialized physicians can help build in-depth case management tools and clinical decision support systems to develop and advance novel therapies. Recognition of carriers harbouring clinically pathogenic genetic vari-ations is essential to provide proper genetic counselling to the patient and management. The precise delineation of distinct RDs is possible through a meticulous clinical evaluation of the patients and their genetic screening. The Electronic Health Record (E.H.R.) helps foster collaboration and better outcomes. A holistic approach should be integrated across health care providers, both at the pharmacy and medical level, that helps improve patient experience and outcomes and reduce costs. Strong health poli-cies and initiatives are required both from private and government institutions for orphan drug development. A separate course on Clinical Genetics must be included in the academic curriculum of medical students in order to provide them knowledge on the basic concepts of genetics and its applications in human health.

Authors: Singh Jaideep , Sirohi Rohan , Sirohi TR , Verma Atul , Khaitan Shruti
Published: April 2023

Risk factors and hospital events associated with occurrence of stroke in covid-19 are not yet well known. We analyzed four patients aged 51, 39, 81, and 42 years (represented as cases 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively), who were admitted with SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR or antigen positive report. Inflammatory markers like C-reactive protein (CRP), D-dimer, ferritin, leucocytes, platelets, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and liver biomarkers were assessed. All the patients had abnormal Non-Contrast Computed Tomography (NCCT) head imaging findings with hypodense areas involving the left occipital, thalamus, corona radiata causing ischemic infarct or effacement of adjacent sulcal spaces infarct. Case 1 and 3 patients survived the treatment and were discharged while, case 2 and 4 patients underwent sudden cardiac arrest despite all resuscitation efforts. These patients possessed altered sensorium, hemiparesis, hemiplegia, and seizures, along with common respiratory symptoms. While blood biomarkers and NCCT imaging have shown the severity of patients, these tests must be carried out worldwide to decrease the severity of therapy at its early stage. Early biomarker detection might assist physicians to increase prognosis during early infection periods. Thus, more research would improve the results worldwide

Published: April 2023

La biopulpotomía es la remoción de la pulpa cameral, dejando la pulpa radicular vital libre de inflamación, sobre la cual se coloca el ungüento oftálmico, que contiene antibióticos de amplio espectro como método alternativo al formocresol cuyas acciones son: fijación con fibrosis progresiva, bactericida y provoca cambios de calcificación.

Se realizó un trabajo de investigación de tipo experimental, prospectivo, longitudinal y analítico con el objetivo de determinar la eficacia del ungüento oftálmico en pulpotomías en lugar del formocresol. El universo estuvo constituido por 50 pacientes pediátricos entre 3 a 9 años que acudieron al bus y a la Clínica Odontológica Univalle durante la gestión 2012.

Se ejecutó la técnica convencional de pulpotomía, posterior a la remoción de la pulpa cameral y al control de la hemorragia local, se aplicó en forma única aproximadamente 0.5 gramos del ungüento oftálmico, a nivel de la entrada de los conductos y posteriormente se aplicó un apósito de óxido de zinc eugenol, cubriendo la totalidad de la cámara pulpar.

El control de la efectividad del ungüento oftálmico se evidenció mediante radiografías periapicales de los 50 pacientes en periodos de 30 y 60 días. Los resultados mostraron que no existieron cambios radiográficos que indiquen necrosis o procesos periapicales y clínicamente no se presentó sintomatología dolorosa, al igual que en la investigación realizada en UASLP de México, se obtuvo una efectividad del ungüento oftálmico del 100% en el tratamiento de pulpotomía respecto al formocresol, debido a la composición del ungüento oftálmico y a la técnica precisa de dicho tratamiento.

Evaluation of Kaolin Mineral Emplacement at Amaihe-Ukpor, Anambra Basin, Southeastern Nigeria Using Spatial Layer Electrical Resistivity Tomography
Authors: G.N. Egwuonwu , E.K. Nwafor , U.E. Kalu
Published: April 2023

Spatial layer Resistivity tomography was carried out at a Kaolin Mining site in Amaihe-Ukpor of Anambra Basin, southeastern Nigeria. The tomograms were obtained at various depths with the aim of assessing the depths of emplacement of the Kaolin at the site. Firstly, apparent resistivity data Schlumberger-B electrode configuration was obtained from Seventy-five (75) Vertical Electrical Tomography (VES) along 6 transverses at the site. Using the VES data, tomographic plots of spatial distribution of the Kaolin minerals at depths were obtained. Interpreted tomograms showed the occurrence of Kaolin minerals bearing apparent resistivity values in the range of about (900 - 28,900 Ωm) occurrence within the depth range of 0.5 m at layer 2 to 115 m at layer 4 of the site. The tomograms show that layers 2 to 5 indicate traces of the occurrence of Kaolin, layers 2, 3 and 4 particularly showed prominence of the Kaolin. Layers 1 and 6 show no trace of the Kaolin formation enrichment on them. The spatial layer tomograms showed that the prominence of the Kaolin remains at the site occur mostly at the northern and southern zones of the surveyed site. Further mining at the site could lead to tertiary exploitation of the mineral. The site is therefore in threat of gross depletion of the environment. Hence, there is need for suspension of the ongoing extraction of the Kaolin at the site to give room for deposition and sufficient formation of the target mineral.
Folk art gallery — an eff ective means of promoting traditional culture
Authors: Ploşniţă Elena
Published: April 2023

Traditional culture is an important element of the Romanian identity. Th ere are dozens of concepts and defi nitions for traditional culture; even any culture can be considered traditional. No matter how we defi ne it, one thing is certain: in the era of globalization, it must be protected, because traditional culture, with its inherent changes, continues to exist, and society is called upon to promote it. In this article, the author touches upon the issue of promoting traditional art by organizing folk art galleries in the form of sales exhibitions. Art galleries are a modern solution for promoting the values of folk art, and their creation would solve several problems: — make a signifi cant contribution to the development of traditional culture through an exhibition approach; — promote authentic traditional culture in the country and abroad; — solve a number of problems related to the sale of traditional art works of folk craft smen; — facilitate the process of studying and learning about traditional culture through organizing some workshops and seminars within them.
Folklore (folkloric expressions) in the language of Ion Creanga’s characters (based on fi lms inspired by the writer’s work)
Authors: Tipa Violeta
Published: April 2023

Th e rich folklore background, created over the millennia, is one of the inexhaustible sources of inspiration for the classic of our literature Ion Creanga. His vivid, unmistakable style, which is due to popular spirituality, became the subject of many researches of linguists, philologists, literati, who mentioned the writer’s ingenuity to captivate through the spoken word. His works are written in a popular language, enriched with the most diverse phraseological structures: comparisons, metaphors, sayings, proverbs and witty remarks, which give the text originality, depth and unrepeatable beauty. As the writer’s fi rst biographer, Jean Boutiere, noted, „Creanga imitates the living word admirably” and „constitutes a rich folk repertoire of great interest”. Most of these phraseological structures will be found in the language of the characters from the fi lms inspired by the Crengian works. We will try to analyze the verbal expression from the perspective of an important component of the audiovisual narrative, oft en getting involved in the dramaturgical collisions of these fi lms. We will watch how the language from Creanga’s works is projected in the fi lm in order to characterize characters, states, situations, etc.

Ethnopolitical views of Joseph Badeev (January 1880 — October 1937)
Authors: Галущенко Олег
Published: April 2023

Joseph (Iosif) Isaakovich Badeev (real surname Suslik) was born in 1880. He graduated from an agricultural school and worked as a gardener before the revolution. From 1903 to 1915 he was a member of the Bund, and from 1917 he was a member of the Communist Party. One of the founders of the communist underground organization in Bessarabia and the creation of the Moldovan ASSR in 1924. I. Badeev considered the Moldovans a separate ethnic group from the Romanians, advocated the Moldovan language and led a group of originalists (samobytniki) in the leadership of the Moldovan Autonomous Republic. In 1924—1928, he actively participated in discussions on these issues with Ion Dicescu-Dik and Grigory Stary. At the suggestion of the Central Committee of the CP (b) of Ukraine, he was included in the Bessarabian Commission of the Communist International, at whose meetings he defended this point of view, in contrast to the opinion of Al. Badulescu and Ekaterina Arbore-Rally. During the “Romanian operation” I. Badeev was arrested and on October 8, 1937 he was sentenced of death. Shot on October 11, 1937. Rehabilitated on April 4, 1957.
The beginning of romological studies in the Republic of Moldova (90s of the XX century): the role and contribution of doctor habilitat Ion Dron
Authors: Прокоп Светлана
Published: April 2023

In the presented article, for the fi rst time, was made an attempt to show the role and contribution of the doctor of habilitate of philology, Ion Dron, in the beginning of research of the history and culture of the Roma community in the Republic of Moldova in the late 90s. of 20th century. In our republic, I. Dron is known, fi rst of all, as a Gagauz expert. He owns a number of serious scientifi c works, recognized both in our country and abroad. However, not everyone knows that I. Dron was interested not only in the fate and history of the Gagauz people, but also the Gypsy people. Ion Dron is the author of 120 scientifi c papers in collections and specialized journals, 211 encyclopedic articles, about 500 articles in various newspapers and magazines, however, he did not leave a single monograph on the Roma/Gypsy theme. It doesn’t concern scientifi c articles scattered in scientifi c collections and periodicals. All of them are dedicated to the ancient and still controversial people, whose representatives proudly call themselves “Roma”, while those around them call them “Gypsies” among themselves. In one of his articles, I. Dron warns that the “gypsy theme” is rather complicated, because, no matter how well and conscientiously the material is written, there will defi nitely be those who will not like it, since every second person in our republic thinks himself as an expert on “Roma” and always has something to say about them. If not for the sudden death, Ion Dron, probably, could have combined all his published articles on the topic of “Roma studies” in total into one solid monograph. It is our duty to tell the scientifi c community about this not entirely known side of the scientifi c activity of our colleague Ion Dron (1948—2003).

Th e semiotics of Gagauz dwelling’s parts and their role unfold the system of the popular view of the world and of man’s daily life in such environment. A traditional Gagauz dwelling is represented by two parts: living rooms and a non-residential room (a symbolic centre of the house), which diff ers in its national decoration. In each room, the main semantic meaning is carried by iconostasis, the triadic structure of which replicates the structure of the universe and symbolizes the connection between heaven and earth. Th e three-part division of the house (the living room, the attic and the basement) also repeats the common understanding of the universe triad (heaven, earth and underworld).

Authors: Suruchi Sharma
Published: April 2023

This study looks into investor behavior to identify the finest investment possibilities in India. The goal of the investment portfolio is to help investors choose a portfolio of investments that will allow them to reach their financial goals within a given time frame. Investing can lead to more significant economic growth and prosperity by boosting individual wealth. Companies that can raise funds through financial markets benefit from the investing process. Some investments kinds offer additional advantages to the investor, the company, and society. The ideas of portfolio holdings, risk, and investment growth are familiar to Indian investors. The investment's guiding principle is "Prevention is better than Cure," which is predicted to result in higher earnings but lower risk. This essay will make the pertinent discovery that retail investors behave differently regarding financial investments. However, it will also highlight how their preferences for investment options regarding receiving a return on the invested amount vary depending on their knowledge and awareness of those options. The researcher had considered Indian retail investors know different investment avenues choices of Indian retail investors and found that investors choose recurring deposits, life insurance policies, and certificates of deposit with financial institutions and banks, Most Indians limit their investing options to risk-free ones like bank accounts and Individual investors continue to select investments with predictable returns and physical assets.
Plasmon-enhanced Pathogen Inactivation: Shockwaves as selective anti-microbials
Authors: Erramilli Shyamsunder
Published: April 2023

Can Physical fields be tailored on nanoscale to eliminate viral contamination of bioreactors? Given that Bioreactors are crucial for producing 21st century antibody pharmaceuticals, the need is for selective inactivation of pathogens without collateral damage to precious macromolecules. Our collaborative experiments suggest that plasmonically enhanced shockwaves generated by ultrafast lasers in designed nanoparticle systems can indeed safely inactivate viruses in bioreactors without the need for targeting. What are the prospects for ‘shockceuticals’ and Physics-based approaches for 21st century applications of Biological Physics?
Non-Gaussian Statistics in Soft and Bio-Matter
Authors: Metzler Ralf
Published: April 2023

Brownian yet non-Gaussian diffusion, characterised by a linear scaling in time of the mean squared displacement but a non-Gaussian displacement distribution is a phenomenon that has been observed in a variety of systems. In my talk, after a brief historical introduction to Brownian motion I will review experimental evidence and show how non-Gaussian statistics emerge from random-parameter models, extreme value arguments, and other models. In particular, I will also talk about quenched versus annealed disorder and demonstrate how shape-shifting in tracers leads to time-fluctuating diffusivities. I will finally address anomalous diffusion systems dominated by viscoelasticity in heterogeneous environments, for which non-Gaussian displacement distributions are measured.
Biophysics of Amyloid β-Protein Oligomer Formation of Relevance to Alzheimer's Disease
Authors: Urbanc Brigita
Published: April 2023

Substantial evidence implicates soluble oligomers formed by intrinsically disordered amyloid β-protein (Aβ) as central to Alzheimer's disease pathology, yet their structural characteristics that may be the cause of membrane damage remain poorly understood. I will elucidate different biophysical approaches aimed at unraveling structure-function relationship of Aβ oligomers and provide insights into novel developments that challenge our notion of Aβ self-assembly as an exclusively pathological process.
Soft mechanics and fracture properties of cartilage and cartilage-inspired soft network materials
Authors: Das Moumita
Published: April 2023

Articular cartilage (AC) is a soft tissue that provides a smooth cushion and distributes the mechanical load in joints. As a material, AC is remarkable. It is only a few millimeters thick, can bear up to ten times our body weight over 100-200 million loading cycles despite minimal regenerative capacity, and still avoids fracturing. Such properties are desperately needed for tissue engineering, tissue repair, and even soft robotics applications. I will discuss the structural origins of and microscopic mechanisms leading to AC's exceptional mechanical properties using the framework of rigidity percolation theory and compare our predictions with experiments. Our results provide an understanding of the tissue depth-dependent mechanical properties and how tissue mechanics changes in response to changes in tissue composition during diseases such as osteoarthritis. By combining this framework with biopolymer double networks, we show how micro-structure, composition, and constitutive mechanical properties can be tuned to resist and blunt cracks in cartilage-like soft materials. The flexibility in resulting material properties and ease of implementation can be harnessed to fabricate artificial tissue constructs with tunable mechanics. I will conclude with a discussion of new results from structurally inhomogeneous soft network materials that provide insights towards achieving this future.
Electrostatics with Fluctuations, Correlations and Disorder
Authors: Naji Ali
Published: April 2023

Electric charges contribute significantly to the effective interactions between molecular constituents of life such as proteins, biopolymers and membranes. These interactions are mediated through aqueous ionic fluids. Even as macromolecular and other contact surfaces in the soft and biomatter contexts are often heterogeneously (or even randomly) charged, electrostatic theories rely primarily on textbook models with uniform (or regular) surface charge distributions. The ionic fluid is, on the other hand, treated within traditional mean-field frameworks such as the Poisson-Boltzmann theory. Mean-field theories ignore possible fluctuations and correlations produced in and by the surrounding ionic fluid. These effects can dominate in the presence of multivalent ions, where electrostatic couplings are strong and lead to remarkable and counterintuitive (non-mean-field) phenomena. The latter include formation of large bundles of like-charged biopolymers such as F-actin and microtubules and condensation of DNA in bulk and in viruses. In this talk, I will review the recent progress made in our understanding of how surface charge disorder and strong electrostatic couplings impact the effective interactions between charged objects. I will discuss how recent theoretical advances, supported by numerical and experimental findings, have led to a major paradigm shift in the electrostatic theory of charged systems, where likes can attract, opposites can repel and neutral (albeit randomly charged) objects can do both. When surface charge disorder and strong electrostatic correlations are both relevant, an otherwise standard electrical double layer can become antifragile and lose entropy upon increasing the disorder strength, even as the system becomes thermodynamically more stable.
Glosa do wyroku Sądu Najwyższego z dnia 6 lipca 2022 r. III KK 177/22 / Gloss to the judgment of the Supreme Court of July 6, 2022 III KK 177/22
Authors: Kłak Czesław
Published: April 2023

The gloss concerns the possibility of applying Art. 37a § 1 k.k. in order for payment proceedings, i.e. the possibility of imposing a fine or penalty of restriction of liberty instead of imprisonment, taking into account the model of order for order proceedings in the Polish criminal process. The author expresses the view that this is not possible due to the fact that the court decides at a sitting without the participation of the parties (and thus also without the participation of the accused) and does so only on the basis of the evidence collected in the preparatory proceedings. Therefore, the court is not able to verify the circumstances that are important for deciding whether to impose an isolation or a prison sentence, and there are no conditions to determine that it is possible to impose a custodial sentence and then change it to a fine or restriction of liberty.
Key words: penalty order, imprisonment, fine or restriction of liberty instead of imprisonment
Stosowanie tymczasowego aresztowania wobec oskarżonych odbywających karę pozbawienia wolności w innej sprawie / Applying pre-trial detention to convicted to imprisonment in another case.
Authors: Sip Dominik
Published: April 2023

The polish legislator made the correct application of all preventive measures conditional on the requirement to achieve the purposes from article 249 of the Criminal Procedure Code. Therefore, it is unacceptable in the current legal situation to use these measures without achieving the indicated goals. At the same time, it is normatively permissible to apply preventive measures, including pre-trial detention, to convicted who are already serving a sentence of imprisonment in another case. However, the current model of regulating this structure should lead to the formulation of a few reservations. This study expresses the author’s doubts as it is possible to apply pre-trial detention to convicts already serving a sentence of imprisonment in a case other than the ongoing preparatory proceedings. A side analysis was also carried out on the possibility of using other, except pre-trial detention, preventive measures against the convicted, as well as the possibility of using other criminal law instruments to secure the proper course of the preparatory proceedings and to prevent the convicted from committing a new, serious crime.
Key words: preventive measures, pre-trial detention, convicted, purpose of applying pre-trial detention
