Sytuacja prawna osoby ułaskawionej przez Prezydenta Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej
Authors: Smaga Agnieszka 
Published: June 2023

Niniejszy artykuł stanowi krótką charakterystykę prezydenckiego prawa łaski, jego zakresu przedmiotowego i podmiotowego oraz przede wszystkim próbę spojrzenia na tę instytucję z perspektywy osoby nim objętej i rzeczywistych skutków, jakie dla niej wywołuje. Z uwagi na aktualne orzecznictwo Trybunału Konstytucyjnego sytuację beneficjenta aktu łaski rozpatrywano z założeniem funkcjonowania abolicji indywidualnej w polskim porządku prawnym. W konsekwencji dokonano podziału prawa łaski na ułaskawienie – stosowane wobec osoby skazanej prawomocnym wyrokiem sądu oraz abolicję indywidualną – stosowaną zanim doszło do prawomocnego skazania. Następnie przeprowadzono analizę zarówno statusu prawnego osoby objętej prezydencką abolicją, jak i osoby objętej ułaskawieniem.

This study aims to examine the euphemisms employed by three Pakistani English-language newspapers, namely Dawn, The Express Tribune, and The News International. This study also identify the types and functions of euphemisms in Pakistani English language newspapers. For this purpose, Random-sampling model was deployed to select the Pakistani English language newspapers published in Dawn, The Express Tribune, and The News International. Furthermore, purposive sampling is adopted to make the decision regarding the selected 15 headlines possessing euphemisms in each newspaper. A checklist is implied to identify the types and functions of euphemisms being used in English language newspapers in Pakistan. Qualitative methodology as a data analysis approach and exploratory methodology as a research design were implied to answer the research questions about the types and functions of euphemistic words being used in headlines of Pakistani English language newspapers. The findings indicated that Pakistani English newspapers writers were abundantly using major types of euphemism, namely semantic change, shortening, and borrowing in their headlines. The results revealed that functions of euphemisms, such as modalizing, criticizing, evaluating, informing, accusing, and requesting are identified in the headlines of these Pakistani English-language newspapers. The current study is beneficial for making people cognizant of the usage of words that replace the triggers/harshness with gentle and polite impressions.

The previously widespread mercury cell technology in chlorine production has now been replaced by more environmentally friendly membrane cell electrolysis which is a Best Available Techniques (BAT) technology. However, this requires a much cleaner brine containing contaminants (Al, Ca, Mg, etc.) in the order of ng/g at most. For this reason, it’s very important to detect trace amounts of aluminum in concentrated saline media in the simplest and fastest way. To the best of our knowledge, no one has previously developed a spectrophotometric method capable of detecting aluminum in ionic forms selectively in the order of ng/g in concentrated saline media, without any preconcentration or separation step. Our advanced analytical method provides an opportunity for this. During the analytical procedure, a colored complex ion is formed from the dissolved aluminum content of the sample with eriochrome cyanine R (ECR) ligand in buffered pH medium. The sensitivity of the measurement is increased by adding quaternary ammonium salt. The colored complex ion is formed in 15 minutes, then the absorbance measurement can be performed for 90 minutes. The effect of rock salt interference was eliminated by proper calibration. In our work the dependence of the signal on temperature, pH, time elapsed after the addition of reactants, the dosing sequence, the salinity of the medium was examined, furthermore, we studied which wavelength-absorbance values give the best fit (highest R2 value) and the highest sensitivity in case of linear calibration. Surprisingly, increasing the salinity significantly improves the sensitivity of the measurement.

Authors: Yao Song , Jiang Wei , Wang Chunjuan , He Yao , Wang Chao , Huang Lan 
Published: June 2023

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of different movement strategies, embossment structures, and torque compensation of the aligner on tooth movement during arch expansion using clear aligners by finite element analysis.Methods: Models comprising the maxilla, dentition, periodontal ligament, and aligners were created and imported into a finite element analysis software. The tests were performed using the following: three orders of tooth movement (including alternating movement with the first premolar and first molar, whole movement with second premolar and first molar or premolars and first molar), four different shapes of embossment structures (ball, double ball, cuboid, cylinder, with 0.05, 0.1, 0.15-mm interference) and torque compensation (0°, 1°, 2°, 3°, 4°, and 5°).Results: The expansion of clear aligners caused the target tooth to move obliquely. Alternating movement resulted in higher movement efficiency with lower anchorage loss as compared with whole movement. Embossment increased the efficiency of crown movement but did not contribute positively to torque control. As the angle of compensation increased, the tendency of oblique tooth movement was gradually controlled; however, the movement efficiency decreased concurrently, and stress distribution on the periodontal ligament became more even. For each 1° increase in compensation, the torque per millimeter of the first premolar would decrease by 0.26°/mm, and the crown movement efficiency eliminate decreased by 4.32%.Conclusion: Alternating movement increases the efficiency of the arch expansion by the aligner and reduces anchorage loss. Torque compensation should be designed to enhance torque control in arch expansion using an aligner.

Carbon and nitrogen are crucial elements for life and must be efficiently regenerated in a circular economy. Biomass streams at the end of their useful life, such as sewage sludge, are difficult to recycle even though they contain organic carbon and nitrogen components. Gasification is an emerging technology to utilize such challenging waste streams and produce syngas that can be further processed into, e.g., Fischer-Tropsch fuels, methane, or methanol. Here, the objective is to investigate if nitrogen can be recovered from product gas cleaning in a dual fluidized bed (DFB) after gasification of softwood pellets to form yeast biomass. Yeast biomass is a protein-rich product, which can be used for food and feed applications. An aqueous solution containing ammonium at a concentration of 66 mM was obtained and by adding other nutrients it enables the growth of the methylotrophic yeast Komagataella phaffii to form 6.2 g.L−1 dry yeast biomass in 3 days. To further integrate the process, it is discussed how methanol can be obtained from syngas by chemical catalysis, which is used as a carbon source for the yeast culture. Furthermore, different gas compositions derived from the gasification of biogenic feedstocks including sewage sludge, bark, and chicken manure are evaluated for their ability to yield methanol and yeast biomass. The different feedstocks are compared based on their potential to yield methanol and ammonia, which are required for the generation of yeast biomass. It was found that the gasification of bark and chicken manure yields a balanced carbon and nitrogen source for the formation of yeast biomass. Overall, a novel integrated process concept based on renewable, biogenic feedstocks is proposed connecting gasification with methanol synthesis to enable the formation of protein-rich yeast biomass.

Published: June 2023

Background: L-lysine is widely used in the feed, food, and pharmaceutical industries, and screening for high L-lysine-producing strains has become a key goal for the industry.Methods: We constructed the rare L-lysine codon AAA by corresponding tRNA promoter replacement in C. glutamicum. Additionally, a screening marker related to the intracellular L-lysine content was constructed by converting all L-lysine codons of enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) into the artificial rare codon AAA. The artificial EGFP was then ligated into pEC-XK99E and transformed into competent Corynebacterium glutamicum 23604 cells with the rare L-lysine codon. After atmospheric and room-temperature plasma mutation and induction culture, 55 mutants (0.01% of total cells) with stronger fluorescence were sorted using flow cytometry, and further screened by fermentation in a 96-deep-well plate and 500 mL shaker.Results: The fermentation results showed that the L-lysine production was increased by up to 9.7% in the mutant strains with higher fluorescence intensities, and that the highest screening positive rate was 69%, compared with that in the wild-type strain.Conclusion: The application of artificially constructed rare codons in this study represents an efficient, accurate, and simple method for screening other amino acid-producing microorganisms.

Published: June 2023

Graphical AbstractIn TNBC cells, the inhibition of C1QBP suppresses PKC–NF-κB signaling in cytoplasm, upregulating Iκβα expression, thereby decreasing the VCAM-1 expression by lowering p65 level in nucleus in normoxic conditions. When TNBC cells are exposed to hypoxic conditions, HIF-1α upregulates C1QBP expression. The inhibition of C1QBP notably suppresses the activation of hypoxia-induced PKC–NF-κB signaling and decreases VCAM-1 level, resulting in metastasis blocking and PTX drug chemoresistance decreasing of TNBC cells.

Due to the propagation effect, the arrival time of the ground wave peak is delayed when sferics propagate at long distances. In this work, we propose a new method combined with a numerical algorithm to correct the effect of the ground wave peak time delay and calculate the ionosphere height using the difference between the arrival time of the ground wave and the skywave. The results showed that, with each increase of the propagation distance by 100 km, the delay in arrival time of the ground wave peak increased by an average of 0.9 μs. For the first and second reflectance heights, the maximum heights observed at night were 86 km and 89 km, and the minimum heights during the day were 66 km and 69 km, respectively. Using the difference in arrival time between the ground wave and skywave and the ionosphere equivalent reflection height, a single site was used to estimate the distance of lightning occurring within 900 km. This method had an average relative error of 14.6%, an average absolute error of 128.8 km, and a median distance error of 52.6 km. Finally, the percentage of data with an estimated deviation within 10% increased from 52% to 65%.
Evolution of spatiotemporal patterns in vegetation net primary productivity and the driving forces on the Loess Plateau
Authors: Mao Shenglin , Shangguan Zhouping 
Published: June 2023

In this study, we determined whether changes in vegetation net primary productivity (NPP) can be used to characterize the quality of terrestrial ecosystems, which is critical for global change and carbon balance. We first explored the spatial correlation of NPP and its impact on vegetation restoration. MOD17A3 remote sensing products were used to analyze the temporal and spatial changes in NPP on the Loess Plateau (LP) over the last two decades (2000–2020). The resulting spatial autocorrelation indices identified cold and hot spots in the spatial clustering patterns. The effects of climate change and human activities on the anomalous clustering of NPP were assessed using Pearson correlation analysis and multi-temporal land use land cover data. The results indicate that i) Temporally, from 2000 to 2020, the NPP of the LP increased significantly by 6.88 gCm−2yr−1 and so did the proportion of revegetated land area &gt;400 gCm−2yr−1 from 4% to 37%. Spatially, NPP showed an increasing trend from northwest to southeast. ii) The vegetation NPP on the LP showed a strong positive global spatial autocorrelation (p&lt; 0.01). The hot and cold regions were polarized; the cold spots were clustered in the northwest, while the hot spots in the south and east. The spatial clustering patterns were dominated by high-high (HH) and low-low (LL) clusters. Abnormal patterns existed mainly in the transition areas between HH and LL clusters and insignificant regions, which were jointly affected by human activities and climate change. iii) Precipitation was the dominant climatic factor (86%) affecting the NPP variation in the LP, with the annual minimum precipitation showing a significantly positive relationship with the interannual variability in NPP, while the maximum precipitations greatly influenced the variation in local spatial anomaly patterns. This suggests that climatic extremes affect vegetation. Our study helps to facilitate green ecological management and high-quality development in the LP.

Enhancing soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks through fertilization and crop rotation will contribute to sustaining crop productivity and mitigating global warming. In this study, we analyzed the differences in total SOC stocks and their driving factors in the topsoil (0–20 cm) with various fertilization measures in two puddled lowland rice-based cropping systems (i.e., rice-wheat rotation and double rice rotation systems) over the last four decades from seven long-term experiments in the Yangtze River catchment. The soil types include Cambisol, Luvisol, and Anthrosol. The treatments include no fertilizer application (CK), application of chemical nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers (NPK) and a combination of NPK and manure applications (NPKM). Every year, field was ploughed to a depth of 15–20 cm before wheat sowing and rice transplanting. Residue was removed after plant harvesting. Results showed that during the last four decades, the average crop grain yield ranged from 1,151 ± 504 kg ha−1 yr−1 under CK treatment to 7,553 ± 1,373 kg ha−1 yr−1 under NPKM treatment. The topsoil SOC stock significantly increased by 8.6 t ha−1 on average under NPKM treatment in rice-wheat system and by 2.5–6.4 t ha−1 on average under NPK and NPKM treatments in double rice system as compared with CK. A higher SOC sequestration rate and a longer SOC sequestration duration were found in NPKM treatment than that in NPK treatment in both cropping systems. The highest SOC stock ratio (SOC stock in fertilizer treatments to CK) was observed under the NPKM treatment in both cropping systems, though no significant difference was found between these two cropping systems. However, the fertilization-induced relative increase of the SOC stock was 109.5% and 45.8% under the NPK and NPKM treatments, respectively in the rice-wheat system than that in the double rice system. This indicates that the rice-wheat system is more conducive for SOC sequestration. RF and SEM analyses revealed that the magnitude and influencing factors driving SOC sequestration varied between two systems. In the double rice system, continuous flooding weakens the influence of precipitation on SOC sequestration and highlights the importance of soil properties and C input. In contrast, soil properties, C input and climate factors all have important impacts on SOC sequestration in rice-wheat system. This study reveals that the rice-wheat system is more favorable for SOC sequestration despite its lower C input compared to the double rice system in China’s paddies.
