The past, present and future of clinical legal education in Poland

This paper was written by four lecturers, who are employed at different universities located in Poland's two largest Cities: Warsaw and Cracow. Two of these universities are financed by the government and the other two are financed from students' fees. Our paper critically examines the history of clinical legal education in Poland. It also assesses the economic, legal and social background to the differences and similarities between clinical legal education and legal practice. Furthermore, the paper explains how learning outcomes have led to law clinics becoming a pedagogical and professional treasure trove for individual clinical students and the wider law faculty. The results of this research will demonstrate the invaluable role of learning outcomes to clinical education and professional development. Therefore, the paper will suggest that the methodology of clinical legal education can be employed as a model for Polish higher education

Challenges for the representation of morphology in ontology lexicons

Recent years have experienced a growing trend in the publication of language resources as Linguistic Linked Data (LLD) to enhance their discovery, reuse and the interoperability of tools that consume language data. To this aim, the OntoLex-lemon model has emerged as a de facto standard to represent lexical data on the Web. However, traditional dictionaries contain a considerable amount of morphological information which is not straightforwardly representable as LLD within the current model. In order to fill this gap a new Morphology Module of OntoLex-lemon is currently being developed. This paper presents the results of this model as on-going work as well as the underlying challenges that emerged during the module development. Based on the MMoOn Core ontology, it aims to account for a wide range of morphological information, ranging from endings to derive whole paradigms to the decomposition and generation of lexical entries which is in compliance to other OntoLex-lemon modules and facilitates the encoding of complex morphological data in ontology lexicons

Managing the relationship of the organization through traditional correspondence : analysis of personalized envelopes

PURPOSE: The paper addresses the unexplored topic of traditional correspondence personalization and its potential impact in creating firm relationships with stakeholders of the organization. It provides interesting conclusions and many practical tips when designing and managing traditional correspondence with stakeholders, taking into account several profiles of correspondence recipients.APPROACH/METHODOLOGY/DESIGN: The study was conducted using a qualitative method – the focused group interview technique. Data was selected based on socio-demographic characteristics, as well as features distinguishing customers, which were key independent variables for the cognition process. The stage of selection of participants in focus group interviews was preceded by a personal questionnaire to select research units (persons) who met the assumptions of the research sample. The analysis of the collected empirical material was carried out based on open coding, allowing for the emergence of homogeneous theoretical categories.FINDINGS: Designing envelopes could be challenging due to several factors determining their positive perception among populations. The basic determinants in the perception of traditional correspondence include its size, shape, colour, and graphic design. Based on the research, one of many factors in creating a competitive advantage in the traditional correspondence market is personalized double-sided envelope printing.PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS: This paper is rich not only in several findings and quite bold, unambiguous indications for the design of envelopes but also contains many interesting hypothetical conclusions that require confirmation in further research processes, also using a quantitative approach. This is undoubted – mainly due to the exploratory nature of this research and development project – an extremely interesting empirical material that requires further, in-depth analysis to optimize business processes and obtain the most effective solution. Being convinced of the effectiveness and high quality of the methodological workshop of social sciences, the use of such analyses and expert opinions may contribute to the implementation of the most suitable solution to the current and future needs of a given business entity.ORIGINALITY/VALUE: The results of this research contributed to creating lasting relationships between an academic research unit and a business entity by supporting the decision-making process regarding strategic development in the form of infrastructural investment. The exercised solutions contributed to managing the relationship of the company through traditional correspondence.peer-reviewe

Emocje i motywacja w prawie. Wybrane aspekty

Z wprowadzenia:"Zainteresowanie osiągnięciami współczesnej psychologii oraz naukami kognitywnymi nie jest nowością w teorii prawa. Powstało oraz powstaje wiele koncepcji teoretycznoprawnych opartych na wynikach nauk empirycznych. Bardziej sceptyczne podejście do nauk empirycznych panuje w praktyce i dogmatyce prawniczej. Wśród dogmatyków i praktyków prawa badania z tego zakresu są w najlepszym wypadku traktowane jako interesujące – lecz mało przydatne w prawie – ciekawostki. Być może sceptyków wykorzystania osiągnięć nauk empirycznych, w szczególności psychologii i nauk kognitywnych, nie da się przekonać, ale warto chociaż spróbować podważyć – przynajmniej częściowo – ich przekonania."(...)Publikacja powstała w ramach realizacji projektu badawczego finansowanego ze środków Narodowego Centrum Nauki pt.: „Motywacyjna podstawa prawa.

ARIA digital anamorphosis : Digital transformation of health and care in airway diseases from research to practice

Digital anamorphosis is used to define a distorted image of health and care that may be viewed correctly using digital tools and strategies. MASK digital anamorphosis represents the process used by MASK to develop the digital transformation of health and care in rhinitis. It strengthens the ARIA change management strategy in the prevention and management of airway disease. The MASK strategy is based on validated digital tools. Using the MASK digital tool and the CARAT online enhanced clinical framework, solutions for practical steps of digital enhancement of care are proposed.Peer reviewe

Search for dark matter produced in association with bottom or top quarks in √s = 13 TeV pp collisions with the ATLAS detector

A search for weakly interacting massive particle dark matter produced in association with bottom or top quarks is presented. Final states containing third-generation quarks and miss- ing transverse momentum are considered. The analysis uses 36.1 fb−1 of proton–proton collision data recorded by the ATLAS experiment at √s = 13 TeV in 2015 and 2016. No significant excess of events above the estimated backgrounds is observed. The results are in- terpreted in the framework of simplified models of spin-0 dark-matter mediators. For colour- neutral spin-0 mediators produced in association with top quarks and decaying into a pair of dark-matter particles, mediator masses below 50 GeV are excluded assuming a dark-matter candidate mass of 1 GeV and unitary couplings. For scalar and pseudoscalar mediators produced in association with bottom quarks, the search sets limits on the production cross- section of 300 times the predicted rate for mediators with masses between 10 and 50 GeV and assuming a dark-matter mass of 1 GeV and unitary coupling. Constraints on colour- charged scalar simplified models are also presented. Assuming a dark-matter particle mass of 35 GeV, mediator particles with mass below 1.1 TeV are excluded for couplings yielding a dark-matter relic density consistent with measurements
