Prawa własności intelektualnej jako składniki majątków małżonków w świetle art. 33 pkt 9 k.r.o.

The reason for considering the issue of Intellectual Property Rights as elements of spouses’ property is the ongoing technological revolution, as a result of which ownership and the structure of production factors are changing, and intellectual assets are gaining in importance. The paper first presents terminological issues related to the concepts of ‘Intellectual Property’, ‘intangible goods’ and ‘Intellectual Property Law’. Having clarified these issues, the basic construction assumptions of the Legal Marital Property Regime are discussed in the context of the allocation of Intellectual Property Rights, which is established by the Family and Guardianship Code. The final comments present an assessment of the applicable provisions of the Family and Guardianship Code which pertain to Intellectual Property Rights.Motywem podjęcia rozważań na ten temat praw własności intelektualnej jako składników majątków małżonków jest dokonujący się przewrót technologiczny, w wyniku którego zmienia się własność i struktura czynników produkcji a aktywa intelektualne zyskująi będą zyskiwać na znaczeniu. W artykule przedstawiono w pierwszej kolejności kwestie terminologiczne związane z pojęciami „własność intelektualna”, „dobra niematerialne” i „prawo własności intelektualnej”. Dopiero po wyjaśnieniu tego zagadnienia omówiono podstawowe założenia konstrukcyjne majątkowych ustrojów małżeńskich i wynikające z nich zasady przyporządkowywania praw własności intelektualnej, które ustanawia Kodeks rodzinny i opiekuńczy. W uwagach końcowych zaprezentowano ocenę obowiązujących przepisów Kodeksu rodzinnego i opiekuńczego, które dotyczą prawa własności intelektualnej

Degradation of PVC/rPLA thick films in Soil Burial experiment

Some of the biodegradable polymers can be blended with a synthetic polymer to facilitate their biodegradation in the environment. The objective of the study was to investigate the biodegradation of thick films of poly(vinyl chloride)/recycled polylactide (PVC/rPLA). The experiments were carried out in the garden soil or in the mixture of garden soil and hydrocarbon-contaminated soil under laboratory conditions. Since it is widely accepted that the biosurfactants secreted by microorganisms enable biotransformation of various hydrophobic substances in the environment, it was assumed that the use of contaminated soil, rich in biosurfactant producing bacteria, may accelerate biodegradation of plastics. After the experimental period, the more noticeable weight loss of polymer films was observed after incubation in the garden soil. However, more pronounced changes in the film surface morphology and chemical structure as well as decrease of tensile strength were observed after incubation of films in the mixture of garden and contaminated soil. It turned out that as a result of competition between two distinct groups of microorganisms present in the mixture of garden and hydrocarbon-contaminated soils the number of microorganisms and their activity were lower than the activity of indigenous microflora of garden soil as well as the amount of secreted biosurfactants towards plastics

Transformation of a large multi-speciality hospital into a dedicated COVID-19 centre during the coronavirus pandemic

Introduction. The article describes the process of converting a large multi-specialized hospital into one dedicated to COVID-19 patients, and present established standards of work organization in all the wards and training system of the medical and supporting staff. The several weeks pandemic of the COVID-19 disease has forced the healthcare systems of numerous countries to adjust their resources to the care of the growing number of COVID-19 patients. Managers were presented with the challenge of protecting the healthcare workers from transmission of the disease within medical institutions, and issues concerning the physical and psychological depletion of personnel. Materials and method. Based on analyses of the structure and work processes in Central Clinical Hospital (CCH) reconstructive strategic plan was developed. It included: division of existing wards into observation and isolation wards; installing locks; weekly plan for supplying personal protection equipment (PPE); designating new access to the hospital and communication routes; training of medical and supporting staff. The plan was implemented from the first days of conversion of the hospital. Results. The wards of the CCH were converted for observation and isolation, and each one was fitted with sanitary locks. There was a big improvement in the supply of PPE for the medical staff. Separation of the ‘dirty’ and ‘clean’ parts of the CCH were attained, and widespread intensive training not only protected personnel against infections, but also diminished unrest which was discernable at the beginning of conversion. Conclusions. The transformation efforts will ultimately be appraised at the end of the epidemic, but the data looks encouraging. Two weeks after conversion, the testing of hospital Staff was started and by the end of April, 459 tests were had been conducted, of which only 11 were positive

Prawo zobowiązań : materiały dydaktyczne

Do Czytelników "Oddawane w ręce Czytelników materiały dydaktyczne przygotowane zostały z myślą o studentach prawa. Prawo cywilne jest bowiem przedmiotem, którego opanowanie sprawia im zazwyczaj sporo trudności. Często programy studiów przeznaczają na nie więcej godzin zajęć dydaktycznych aniżeli na inne ważne przedmioty. Wynika to po części z obszerności materiału normatywnego, orzecznictwa i literatury, a po części z miejsca, jakie prawo cywilne, a zwłaszcza jego część ogólna i prawo zobowiązań, zajmują w kształceniu prawników. Skłania to do podejmowania starań zmierzających do ułatwienia studentom przygotowania się do wykładów i ćwiczeń oraz zaliczeń i egzaminów. Na rynku znajduje się obecnie sporo publikacji, z których można korzystać, w tym kilka dobrych, mających szereg wydań podręczników oraz komentarze do kodeksów. Jednakże, jak pokazuje doświadczenie, nie wszyscy studenci sięgają po nie dostatecznie chętnie. Niektórych odstrasza sama ich objętość. Zespół pracowników Katedry Prawa Cywilnego Krakowskiej Akademii im. Andrzeja Frycza Modrzewskiego przystąpił więc do przygotowania programu z tego przedmiotu i wypróbował go w ciągu paru lat."(...

Reproduction Indicators Related to Litter Size and Reproduction Cycle Length Among Sows of Breeds Considered Maternal and Paternal Components Kept on Medium-Size Farms

The present research aimed to study twelve reproductive indicators related to litter size and the farrowing interval for three maternal (Polish Large White, Polish Landrace, and Yorkshire) and three paternal (Duroc, Berkshire, Hampshire) breeds, raised on two farms in Poland and a farm in the United States. The study included 196 sows (45 Polish Large White, 37 Polish Landrace, 26 Berkshire, 33 Duroc, 40 Yorkshire, and 15 Hampshire), which altogether gave birth to 736 litters. The Kruskal-Wallis test was used to verify the influence of the breed on the reproductive traits, with a post-hoc procedure for pairwise comparisons implemented in the pgirmes of R. The adegenet, ade4, and factoextra packages of R were used to conduct multivariate analysis of the traits by means of principal component analysis. The breed significantly (p ≤ 0.05) influenced the following traits related to litter size: the total number of piglets born per litter, the number and percentage of piglets born alive per litter, the percentage of stillborn piglets per litter, the number and percentage of weaned piglets per litter; and those related to the farrowing interval: the lengths of gestation, lactation, the farrowing-to-conception interval, and the farrowing interval. The breed did not statistically significantly influence the number of stillborn piglets per litter and the length of the weaning-to-conception interval. Polish Landrace and Polish Large White sows had the highest numbers of born (for both, the mean of 14.0), born alive (12.9 and 12.7), and weaned piglets (11.5 and 10.5), which statistically significantly differed from these parameters in the other breeds. Polish Landrace sows significantly differed from all the other breeds in terms of the percentage of weaned piglets (84.1%), while Berkshire sows in terms of gestation length (118.4 days)

Polymorphism of Selected Microsatellite Markers against Breeding Performance Indexes of Polish Large White and Polish Landrace Sows

The study aimed to analyze 12 microsatellite markers located in the areas of quantitative trait loci related to litter size in 82 sows, including 45 Polish Large White and 37 Polish Landrace sows, kept on a farm in southwest Poland. Breeding documentation provided data on the total number of piglets born per litter and the numbers of live-born, stillborn and weaned piglets; the corresponding percentage values were also calculated. DNA isolation was performed from 15–20 hairs taken from live animals, and the markers used in the research were divided into four multiplexes. The influence of genotype at a given locus on the reproductive traits was analyzed only for genotypes represented by at least five animals. The results of the analyses for all the sows (treated as the maternal component and not as distinct breeds) showed statistically significant (p ≤ 0.05) differences between the genotypes and the values of the analyzed traits for markers S0008, SW160, SW245, SW714, SW1125 and SW2411. Among these markers, the breed-dependent analysis also showed significant differences in the Polish Large White breed for markers S0008, SW160 and SW1125, and in the Polish Landrace breed for SW245. Additionally, the breed-dependent analysis found significant differences in markers SW903 and SW1808 for the Polish Large White sows, and S0064, SW472 and SW903 in Polish Landrace sows. SW903 was the only marker for which differences in the analyzed reproductive traits differed between genotypes in both breeds (still analyzed separately), although in terms of different traits. The above results indicate the usefulness of microsatellite markers in researching the differentiation of litter size indicators. Although both breeds belong to the maternal component, they showed significant differences in terms of markers. This may suggest difficulties in finding universal (that is, working well for various breeds of the maternal component) markers, indicating the need to look for breed-specific markers, something that calls for further research into numerous animals

Identification of SNP markers for canine mammary gland tumours in females based on a genome-wide association study – preliminary results

The development of genetic research over recent decades has enabled the discovery of new genetic markers, such as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). This, as well as the full sequencing of the dog genome, has enabled genome-wide association studies (GWAS) to be used in the search for genetic causes of canine mammary tumours (CMTs)
