Chicago Lakeside Health City Conference Centre
No full textMy graduation project is a part of Chicago Lakeside graduation studio in the Chair of Complex Projects. The goal of the studio was to develop a complex architectural solution based on analysis and economic and social strategies, integrated within existing fabric on different scales. The result of the first stage of my thesis work is an urban strategy for the South Chicago neighbourhood revitalization through the development of the Health City cluster on the former South Works site. Based on the extensive research done in a group of 4 people, we have chosen healthcare related functions as potentially the most applicable to create a brand, attract investments and provide essential facilities for the neighbourhood. In my individual design research I aimed to develop a building that will become a linking element between the functional elements in the research/ education cluster, existing neighbourhood and the public facilities, developed within the Health City master plan. I believe that a Conference Centre could become a link, providing collaboration space for the Science Cluster and attracting the public by facilities, exhibitions, public events and not last – an architectural quality. My project is based on the relationship of old and new: a new multifunctional space within the historical framework. Situated at the beginning of the long strip of the linear park, connecting the South Chicago neighbourhood & Lake Michigan, the conference centre plays an important role in the composition of the campus. Connecting the pedestrian routes, spanning from west to east and from north to south, the building becomes a linking element not only functionally, but also spatially. The building is concealed behind the walls, with only the external envelope visible, reflecting the sky above. The conference centre represents a multifunctional space- a centre of public activity both for the campus and the neighbourhood.Complex ProjectsArchitectureArchitecture and The Built Environmen
The Concept of originality of a work in the case-law of the Court of Justice of the European Union
No full textThe article is devoted to the analysis of the content of key judgements of the Court of Justice of the European Union concerning the interpretation of the legal category of a work’s originality, namely: Infopaq International A/S v. Danske Dagblades Forening (C-5/08), Eva-Maria Painer v. Standard VerlagsGmbH and Others (C-145/10), Football Dataco Ltd v. Yahoo! UK Ltd (C-604/10), and Cofemel – Sociedade de Vestuário SA v. G-Star Raw CV (C-683/17). The significance of these judgements for the development of a coherent concept of originality is outlined. It is emphasized that the interpretative function of the Court is fundamental and plays an essential role in shaping the legal order in a global sense by harmonizing
the mechanisms of legal enforcement within the EU.
The author draws attention to the evolution and refinement of the substantive understanding of the notion of originality in the course of the Court’s interpretative practice. The article substantiates the close connection between a work’s originality and creative activity. Particular emphasis is placed on the analysis of the essential elements of originality, such as free and creative choices, the personal contribution of the author, and intellectual creative activity.
The author formulates scholarly conclusions regarding the key components of the concept of originality. A critical analysis is conducted on the adequacy of the current legal model for determining the protectability of a work within the EU legal space. It is concluded that the existing flexible legal framework allows for the assessment of originality in each individual case, taking into account the specific characteristics of the object and the nature of the activity that led to its creation.
The article emphasizes that the foundation of originality lies in creative activity, which is the quintessence of imagination and the author’s individual vision, based on personal preferences and resulting in a unique object of copyright. Thus, the specific work embodies an idea of the author that originates from their creative search, realized through intellectual creative activity
Phytochemical Profile and Pharmacological Activities of Water and Hydroethanolic Dry Extracts of Calluna vulgaris (L.) Hull. Herb
No full textAccording to the WHO data (2017), depression is the most predominant disease worldwide, with about 300 million people suffering from it, and bipolar disorder is the second most common. Therefore, it is relevant to research new medicines based on medicinal herbal raw materials with anti-anxiety and antidepressant effects. Common heather (Calluna vulgaris (L.) Hull.), a flowering plant of the Ericaceae family, is a promising species for research in this area. The aim of this study was to investigate the phytochemical profile and several biological activities of hydroethanolic dry extracts from the C. vulgaris herb. Nineteen phenolic substances were identified and quantified in the extracts by HPLC. The quantitative content of the basic groups of biologically active compounds was determined by spectrophotometry. Arbutin was dominant among the hydroquinone derivatives; chlorogenic acid among the hydroxycinnamic acids; rutin, hyperoside and quercetin-3-D-glucoside among the flavonoids; and (+)-gallocatechin and (-)-epigallocatechin among the tannin metabolites. The water and hydroethanolic extract were compared, the extract of C. vulgaris herb obtained with 70% hydroethanolic had the most pronounced anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, anxiolytic, stress-protective, anti-anxiety and anti-depressant effects, and it is a promising substance for the development of new drugs or food supplements
Napisać przestępstwo lub odróżnić „sprawę kryminalną” od „krzywdy prostej” (Wołyń w ostatnim trzydziestoleciu XVI – na początku XVII wieku)
No full textThe article analyzes the rhetoric of Volhynian court records based on accusations of criminal offences. The focus is on how these sources were constructed by the interested parties, and on how the szlachta culture of violence affected this process. The author explores the arguments that the noblemen presented to reclassify criminal offences as “regular offences.” Concomitantly, she analyzes the performativity of trials as the public stage where the values treasured by the community were articulated, debated and relayed to the interested parties. This constructed “reality” formed the vision of the norm and possible life strategies of noblemen. Circulating in the court and the community, it affected the proceedings of trials and the actors’ actions outside courtroom, for example, by forcing the accused whose honor was insulted by the accusations to react according to the conventions accepted by the community. In the culture where any offence, be it real or imagined, demanded defending one’s honor, a trial was just a part of a conflict and its resolution
The resale right in the case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union
No full textThe article is devoted to the analysis of judgments of the Court of Justice of the European Union concerning the interpretation of the provisions of Directive 2001/84/EC of 27 September 2001 on the resale right for the benefit of the author of an original work of art. To achieve the objectives of the article, the content of the following judgments of the Court of Justice of the European Union has been examined: Fundación Gala-Salvador Dalí (C-518/08, 2010) and Christie’s France SNC v Syndicat national des antiquaires (C-41/14, 2015). The study examines the main trends in harmonising the mechanisms for applying the resale right within the European legal space. Particular attention is paid to the concept of ’’distorting effect’’ as understood in the case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union in the context of the resale right. Conclusions are drawn regarding the main directions of unifying the procedure for exercising the resale right in the European Union. It is established that the harmonisation mechanism
under study is aimed at ensuring broad legal opportunities within national legal systems for developing local models for the implementation of the resale right. It is also noted that harmonisation of resale right legislation is limited to unifying provisions of national laws that have a direct and immediate effect on the functioning of the art market. Based on the analysis of the Court of Justice's rulings, the article concludes that determining the specific circle of persons who inherit the resale right, or the persons responsible for paying royalties, remains within the competence of the legislator in each Member State and, according to the Court's case law, does not have a direct impact on the functioning of the art market.
The incorporation of the resale right into the national legislation of the EU Member States plays a fundamentally important role in ensuring proper conditions for the protection of the economic rights of authors of artistic works and in establishing fair competition within the art market. The resale right serves as a tool for maintaining a balance between the rights of artists across different jurisdictions within the EU, and, as a result, contributes to the creation of an effective mechanism for preventing infringements and avoiding unfair competition
Filipendula vulgaris Moench Extracts: Phytochemical Research and Study of Their Cytotoxic and Antitumour Activity
No full textFilipendula vulgaris Moench (syn. F. hexapetala Gilib., dropwort, Rosaceae) is widely used in folk medicine as an antitumour agent, but there is a lack of scientific knowledge about it. This research aimed to study the phytochemical composition and cytotoxic and antitumour activity of aqueous and aqueous–alcoholic extracts from rhizomes with roots of F. vulgaris to investigate their effect on the development of experimental Ehrlich ascites carcinoma in mice, and their effect on the animals’ lifespan. A total of 10 phenolics and 14 amino acids were determined by HPLC in the extracts. The dominant phenolic compounds were procyanidins B1, B2, and C1, as well as metabolites of the tannins (+)-catechin and epicatechin gallate. For the first time, 27 volatile substances were identified and semiquantified using GC-MS. The principal volatile components were palmitic acid (41.0%), methyl salicylate (24.2%), and benzyl salicylate (17.5%). The aqueous–alcoholic extract was significantly more effective than the aqueous one. The treatment of mice with Ehrlich carcinoma using the F. vulgaris aqueous–alcoholic extract normalised the studied indicators. The growth inhibition coefficient of Ehrlich ascites carcinoma was 62.3% and 65.8% on the 7th and 14th days, respectively. This was manifested in the inhibition of tumour growth based on a decrease in the content of ascites fluid in the abdominal cavity; a more intense manifestation of cytotoxic action on cancer cells; improvements in haematopoiesis, the antioxidant defence system, and the content of the studied bioelements in the blood serum; and an increase in the lifespan of experimental animals by around two times. The study results allow us to consider F. vulgaris rhizomes with roots as a promising anticancer agent for the design of pharmaceutical preparations and further study their effects on the human body

ОВД при расследовании преступлений. Работа содержит ряд теоретических положений и
практических рекомендаций, сформулированных в результате комплексного анализа
судебно-следственной практики последних лет, имеющихся научных исследований и опыта других
стран в борьбе с преступностью. Автор на основе анализа научной литературы по вопросам
внешнего взаимодействия в области борьбы с преступностью, практики деятельности
правоохранительных и других государственных органов, национального законодательства
Украины и других стран исследует криминалистическое и уголовно-процессуальное содержание
внешнего взаимодействия в следственной деятельности.
В диссертации осуществлен анализ нормативно-правового регулирования и организационного
обеспечения отношений, возникающих и реализующихся во время осуществления следователем
ОВД внешнего взаимодействия. В работе рассмотрены теоретические аспекты категории
взаимодействия, изучено историческое развитие института взаимодействия следователя в Украине.
Автор рассматривает нормативно-правовое регулирование внешнего взаимодействия
следователя, включающее в себя соответствующие нормы международных соглашений,
Конституции и законов Украины; подзаконных нормативных актов высших и центральных органов
власти, а также ведомственные нормативные акты, при этом особую роль имеют
межведомственные приказы, положения и инструкции. В работе также анализируется
организационное обеспечение взаимодействия следователя, которое содержит в себе такие управленческие компоненты, как направленность взаимодействия, его мотивацию, формы, методы,
средства, принципы внешнего взаимодействия.
Диссертант разграничивает внутреннее и внешнее взаимодействие следователя ОВД,
руководствуясь в первую очередь представлениями о централизованности управленческой системы
МВД и целостности взаимосвязей между субъектами уголовно-процессуальных отношений. В
диссертации указывается, что регулирование и организационное обеспечение внешнего
взаимодействия связано с объективными теоретико-правовыми и управленческими проблемами.
При этом констатируется, что внешнее взаимодействие следователя ОВД во время раскрытия и
расследования преступлений можно разделить на международное взаимодействие, взаимодействие
с правоохранительными органами и другими государственными структурами
