Reflexive Verbs In Polish: On The Inclusion Of Slavic Language Into A Model Based On Germanic Languages
Authors: Zuchewicz Karolina , Czarnetzki Lilli 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This article examines whether and to what extent Polish can be integrated into a model based on Germanic languages. The model deals with the categorization and use of reflexive verbs and pronouns. In addition to some similarities between languages and language families, the phenomena in which there are disagreements are of particular interest. Polish has usage types that were not taken into account in the model due to their absence in the original languages under study. These include the use of reflexive verbs as licensors of null objects. License elements are language elements/constructs that allow other language elements to appear. Reflexive verbs in Polish license or allow the occurrence of null objects, which means that null objects in combination with reflexive verbs lead to a well-formed construction.

Published: January 2025

Abstract
The paper presents the results of research on the application of ion-exchange processes for the extraction of iron (II) and copper (II) ions from liquid acid wastes of electroplating production. In the course of experimental studies, it was shown that with an increase in the concentration of sulfuric acid, the total exchangeable dynamic capacity (TEDC) of the cationite significantly decreases both during the sorption of iron ions and during the sorption of copper ions. At the same time, an increase in the iron (II) ions concentration leads to a significant increase in TEDC – even with a sulfuric acid concentration of 8–13 g/dm3, TEDC reached the level of 1.35 g-eq/dm3, which corresponds to the sorption level of neutral dilute solutions. However, it can be seen from the total concentration that the efficiency of sorption of metals from acidic solutions remains quite high and increases with the increase of the initial total content of sorbed ions. The main indicator used when choosing an ion exchange method is the possibility of effective regeneration of the cation exchange material. When using a 5% solution of sulfuric acid already at the specific consumption of the regeneration solution, it was possible to achieve a degree of regeneration at the level of 95–98%, and when using a 10% solution, the degree of regeneration reached 100%. According to the research results, a technological scheme for processing regeneration solutions by precipitation of metals from regeneration solutions into magnetites in a ferritizer reactor was proposed.
Application of Sludge-Based Adsorbent for Acid Red 18 Adsorption
Authors: PIECZYKOLAN Barbara 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
A study was conducted on the use of excess activated sludge from a municipal wastewater treatment plant as an adsorbent in the removal of Acid Red 18. The excess sludge was thermally modified using microwave radiation. The study aimed to evaluate the possibility of using this type of waste adsorbent in the batch adsorption process to remove a selected synthetic dye. Moreover, the experiments were aimed at analyzing the adsorption kinetics and adsorption isotherms of the batch adsorption process. Experimental results showed that in the case of adsorption kinetics, a greater match with experimental results was obtained for the pseudo-second-order model. This indicates that the adsorption process was chemical in nature. In the case of adsorption isotherm analysis, it showed that the best fit to experimental results was obtained for the Langmuir, Sips, and Toth isotherm models. Thus, this indicates the occurrence of a single-layer adsorption process. The determined values of adsorption capacity based on the Langmuir, Sips, and Toth models are in the range of 71.6 mg/g–79.0 mg/g.

Abstract
The purpose of this work is to assess the risks to the health of the population living in the zone of influence of emissions of pollutants into the atmospheric air from the operating enterprise for the production of carbon electrodes and to generalize the experience of applying the procedure for assessing risks and damage to the health of the population in the system of new monitoring and management mechanisms air quality. The risk assessment of the impact of planned activities on the health of the population from atmospheric air pollution was carried out based on the risk calculations of the devel-opment of non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic effects. During the assessment of the risk to public health from the emissions of the enterprise for the production of carbon electrodes, carbon monoxide was identified as one of the priority pollutants, to reduce the emissions of which it is proposed to use catalytic methods in the furnaces for firing and graphitizing carbon electrodes. Based on the results of the conducted research, it is proposed to introduce technologies that will allow to achieve the maximum permissible emissions of pollutants into the atmosphere during heat treatment.
A review of null models in community ecology: a different robust viewpoint for understanding statistical community ecology
Authors: De los Ríos-Escalante Patricio R. , Ghory Farhana S. 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
One classic definition of ecology is that it is the science that studies the distribution and abundance of biotic components and their relationship with abiotic components. The use of statistical tools is very important for understanding ecology, especially the distribution and abundance of biotic components. The classic statistical viewpoint was that an ecological community (an interaction of different species in defined time and space) has a determined structure due to biotic and abiotic interactions. Nevertheless, this classic viewpoint has the risk of proneness to type I errors or “false positives”. In this situation, null models were proposed that have the premise that community ecology is random, meaning the absence of structure, and the null hypothesis for these models is the absence of regular structured patterns. The present study is a review of null models and their application to aquatic environments. These null models include three main models: for species co-occurrence, asserting that species associations are random; for size overlap, asserting that the size structure of species in the community is random, as a strategy for use of ecological niche; and for niche overlap, asserting that species in a community can share a defined ecological niche with consequent interspecific competition.
The Role of Government in Tackling Income Inequality: Evidence from Central and Eastern European Countries
Authors: Zimčík Petr , Pakšiová Renáta , Semerád Pavel , Brauner Roman 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
The aim of this study is to investigate the role of government interventions in lowering income inequality in post-communist economies of Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). The focus is set on three key policy instruments: progressive income taxation, social transfers, and minimum wage regulations. We use the Gini coefficient for market income and the Gini coefficient for disposable income to quantify income inequality in observed economies and to estimate how government policies tend to create differences between these two measures. We use open panel data from period 2012–2021 to determine the latest effects of these policies in the post-communist CEE economies. The main finding is the positive role of progressive income taxation, which significantly lowers the Gini coefficient for disposable income, effectively lowering income inequality in observed economies.
Comparative Analysis of Social Services Reform in Slovenia, Austria and Croatia: Legal-Administrative Perspective
Authors: Babšek Matej , Tomaževič Nina , Kovač Polonca 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Social services within predominantly service-based public administration are undergoing constant reforms in response to evolving social circumstances. These reforms should align with international and constitutional principles, including the rule of law, the welfare state, and public governance, and rely on the assessment of the gap between the current state of affairs and the desired situation. Reforms of the competences and organisation of social work institutions should be analysed in comparison with related systems, taking into account national and sector-specific characteristics. The objective of this research was to examine, from a legal-administrative perspective, the reforms of social services in three systems building on the Rechtsstaat tradition: Slovenia, Austria, and Croatia. A qualitative approach was employed as the most suitable for evaluative research. The methodology included a literature review, semi-structured interviews, relational content analysis of reform policy documents and public administration performance reports, and a systemic analysis of the codification of administrative procedure as the formal legal framework for providing social services. The results show that the reforms of social services in Slovenia and Croatia share similarities as they focus on the Weberian context, with all the challenges associated with such formalised reforms. In contrast, Austrian reforms, influenced by a hybrid public management, are more results-oriented and thus able to provide user-oriented services.
Towards Cognitive Cultural Didactics in foreign language education
Authors: Wirag Andreas 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Despite significant advances in the conception of cultural teaching and learning in recent decades, some unresolved problems remain. In Intercultural Learning, the cultures between which learners mediate still appear as bounded, nation-type cultures. In Transcultural Learning, it is unclear how learners could acquire knowledge of an unstable, dynamic, and hybrid object. This article suggests Cognitive Cultural Didactics, which relies on the concept of cognitive scripts, i.e., generic mental representations of everyday activities. Cognitive Cultural Didactics reconsiders cultural learning as the additive acquisition of cognitive scripts that govern everyday interactions in geographically more remote locations. By doing so, the cognitive paradigm can resolve some of the current intercultural and transcultural learning limitations. Moreover, Cognitive Cultural Didactics has essential implications for Anti-Racist Pedagogy. It may serve as an antidote against a racist mindset that puts people into binary categories based on skin colour, place of birth, or parents’ place of birth (‘Us’ vs. ‘Them’).
In contrast, Cognitive Cultural Didactics highlight that everybody has a complex collection of scripts reflecting their multi-faceted past experiences and observations. As a result, no person, whether born abroad or not, with native parents or not, can usefully be described with binary labels that simplify their actual complexity. A racist mindset can thus empirically be shown to be untenable with study evidence from cognitive research.
Exploring undergraduate students’ general attitudes towards Artificial Intelligence: A perspective from Vietnam
Authors: Tien Le Minh 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Undergraduate students’ attitudes towards Artificial Intelligence (AI) in developing countries like Vietnam are rarely explored despite AI’s increasing presence in higher education. This study aims to investigate the attitudes of undergraduate students towards AI. A quantitative research method was used, involving a self-reported survey questionnaire. The sample consisted of 460 undergraduate students (196 males and 264 females) from five public and private universities in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Data collection took place through a cross-sectional survey in November and December 2023. The General Attitudes Towards Artificial Intelligence Scale (GAAIS), originally developed and validated in English by Schepman and Rodway (2020), was adapted to Vietnamese for this study. The scale comprised 20 items to evaluate students’ attitudes towards AI. Data analysis included descriptive statistics, Cronbach’s alpha coefficient, t-tests, and one-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The results indicated a Cronbach’s Alpha value of 0.705 for the total variable, demonstrating acceptable reliability. Consequently, Vietnamese undergraduate students displayed moderately positive attitudes towards AI. The findings also revealed no significant difference in attitudes based on gender, but there was a notable variation based on the student’s year of study at university.
The effects of residency experience in English-speaking countries on English lexical bundle usage among Korean university students
Authors: Chung Julian , Lee Kyoung Rang 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This study aimed to analyse the usage of English lexical bundles among university students who transitioned to Korean universities after extended periods in English-speaking countries. It was assumed that the duration of their stay would lead to distinct English language usage patterns. Ten participants were recruited: those who resided abroad for more than 5 years (six learners) and those who lived abroad for less than 5 years (four learners). Interviews were conducted, yielding an average of 30 minutes for each interview. The results revealed significant differences in word frequency and trigram usage in terms of students’ duration of stay. In other words, the residency experience in English-speaking countries influenced their language use patterns even though their current proficiency remained the same. Students with more extended stays showed greater trigram diversity and native-like patterns with VP and NP-PP fragments. In comparison, students with shorter stays displayed a prevalence of skewed VP fragment use and had narrower trigram usage. The factors contributing to their differing language use patterns should be investigated further when maintaining similar proficiency levels. Despite some limitations, such as excluding the impact of individual motivation, the findings highlight the importance of individualised language learning approaches, even among learners with similar proficiency levels.
Durability of Concrete with Recycled Aggregate
Authors: Helsing Elisabeth , Brander Linus , Martinsson Peter 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
A demand for a more sustainable use of resources entails that recycled aggregate material need to be used in advanced applications, as in concrete. Even if regulations and standards permit the use of recycled aggregate in concrete, the amount used for this application in many countries is negligible. This caution of the potential users is partly due to the uncertainty about how recycled aggregate, from construction and demolition waste and from washed excavation masses, influence the durability of concrete, such as alkali-silica resistance (ASR), frost resistance and carbonation. Choosing a binder that mitigate damaging alkali silica reactions is an effective means to diminish the risk for damage, even with alkali-reactive recycled aggregate. However, the alkali content of crushed concrete used as aggregate must be considered. No negative effect of recycled aggregate on the carbonation of concrete was observed. The uncertainty about the influence of aggregate porosity on the frost resistance of concrete, about adequate concrete test methods, about aggregate test criteria, and about the correlation between aggregate and concrete test methods need to be settled, before porous recycled aggregate like construction and demolition waste (CDW) can be used in more demanding exposure classes with respect to frost.
Form Pressure in Composite Columns of 3DPC and SCC
Authors: Silfwerbrand Johan 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Self-compacting concrete (SCC) and 3D printed concrete (3DPC) are two exciting technologies with potential to increase both the productivity and the working environment in the concrete industry. Permanent 3DPC formwork filled with SCC constitutes an interesting alternative for columns. The goal is to create a composite column with complete bond between the form and the core. Laboratory studies on composite columns of this type have been conducted at KTH investigating form pressure, load-carrying capacity, and durability. This paper is focusing on the form pressure that has been an issue ever since SCC was developed in Japan in the early 1990s because of the flowing nature of this concrete type. Two tests series have been performed. In the first one, two 2.4 m high composite columns with radius R = 0.25 m were tested. The casting rate was 2.6 m/h and resulted in a form pressure approaching full hydrostatic pressure but no form failures or any leakage arose. In the second test series, four composite columns with height h = 3.0 m and R = 0.15 m were cast at a casting rate r = 1 m/h. The form pressure was close to the one calculated with Gardner’s model. No failures, cracks or leakage occurred. The results are promising but tests on columns with larger dimensions would be of even larger interest.
Diversity Management Practices in Polish Media: A Longitudinal Study of Newsroom Decisions Before and During the War in Ukraine
Authors: Jupowicz-Ginalska Anna , Gober Greta 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This paper examines how Polish media managers have navigated issues related to Ukraine and Poland’s Ukrainian community during both pre-war and wartime periods. The study aims to uncover the specific practices of diversity management employed during this time by analysing actual media strategies in use. It is based on a~thematic analysis of 16 in-depth interviews with media managers, conducted at three critical points: one month before the war (five interviews), immediately a˙er its onset (eight interviews), and approximately one year later (three interviews). This methodology captures the shi˙ing perspectives of editors as the war progressed. The analysis identified key thematic categories, framed through the lens of diversity management in the media. These categories include (1) selection of (co)workers, (2) editorial management (planning, topic selection, and omission; news acquisition and verification; psychological support and language), (3) media managers’ perceptions of Poles’ attitudes toward Russians, Belarusians, and non-Ukrainian residents, (4) audiences, and (5) corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives of media companies.
Polarisation or Dialogue? Media Image of Polish-Ukrainian Relations During the War in Ukraine in the Broadcast of the Polish Magazine on TVP Polonia
Authors: Sosnowska Joanna 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
TVP Polonia adapted its programming to the war in Ukraine, focusing on the conflict’s impact, particularly on its compatriots living there, by centring much of its content around the ongoing crisis.As one of the few Polish TV stations, it had the opportunity to work with journalists permanently living in Ukraine. The aim of the study is to describe the media image of Polish-Ukrainian relations during the war in Ukraine in the television broadcast of the program “Studio Lviv” carried out by Polish journalists in Lviv. The material for analysis was selected on the basis of the following criteria: (1) temporal, the year of the war (February 2022-February 2023) a total of 50 archived episodes and (2) issues concerning the war and Polish-Ukrainian relations (in the area of topics and visualisation of communication about the war). The content analysis research is in the nature of a media-culturalist perspective (according to Denis McQualin), in which media communication gives priority to the content and form of the media message. In the area of form, the mechanisms of audiovisual message construction were indicated, while in the area of content, the research material was categorised in four main contexts located in the area of Polish-Ukrainian relations: social, historical, cultural and political contexts. Analysis of the research material showed a clear dominance in the program of the subject matter of the war in Ukraine after the outbreak of war on 24 February 2022. The perspective of Polish journalists determined the way of telling about the situation of Ukraine during the Russian onslaught and Polish-Ukrainian relations. Exposing dialogue and cooperation confirmed the hypothesis that the message of the Polish-American TV magazine on public television created a positive image of Polish-Ukrainian relations.
Perspectives of the Narration Concerning the War in Ukraine in Polish Press and Radio Reports (2022–2024)
Authors: Białek-Szwed Olga , Wójciszyn-Wasil Aneta 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
The Russian-Ukrainian conflict, which began in 24 February 2022, is widely covered in the Polish media. One of the forms of journalistic communication is reportage — a factual genre allowing for a multi-aspect presentation of events. The aim of this article is to present the specifics of the war in Ukraine narrative in Polish reportage. The media materials come from the years 2022–2024. The press texts were selected through a search of opinion weeklies “Polityka” and „Newsweek”, while audio reports come from the collection of the Polish Radio Reportage and Documentary Studio and Radio 357. Following the content analysis, four narrative perspectives were identified: everyday life in wartime, military, refugee and solidarity. The analysis of the lexical components shows that the war in Ukraine narrative in Polish press and radio reportage is in-depth, exposing the individual’s personal experience and emotionally engaging. It constitutes a segment of qualitative coverage of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict in the Polish media.
