Abstract This cross-disciplinary symposium on Friedrich Kratochwil's The Status of Law in International Society engages with the interconnections between social knowledge (theory) and action (practice). Each contributor reflects critically on one of Kratochwil's nine meditations. These co-meditations cover not only Kratochwil's work, but they deepen discussions on the role of legal norms in international society, the practice turn, pragmatism, the production of knowledge, and human action. Kratochwil's reply to his co-meditators pushes the limits of prevailing thought on praxis. As a whole, the symposium exemplifies how we find ourselves always in the midst of theory and practice.

Nurses are the largest group of Polish medical staff. There are currently approximately 230,000 nurses employed in Poland. There is a statutory profession for many years. Nurses provide health services on the basis of a medical order or on their own. As a result of changes in the law, the scope of their professional competences has been increasing for several years, including to independently administer medicines and issue prescriptions. The purpose of the article is to present and analyze legal norms determining the status of a nurse in the Polish health care system. In addition, the definition of the statutory principles of cooperation between doctors and nurses. The analysis shows that changes in law in recent years have significantly influenced the increase in the role of nurses in the health care system and they are also relevant to the practice of the medical profession.

Aquinas's theory of human action seems to reduce the will to the status of an obedient servant, who can only choose actions that intellect has judged approvingly. So how can Aquinas claim that the will is free? And can his theory account for our apparent ability to make choices that defy the dictates of our own practical rationality? The keys to answering these questions lie in (1) Aquinas' attribution of freedom to reason as a whole, and (2) the role of intention in Aquinas' account.

Shared Humanity

Applying both constructivism and the English school of international relations, the icc is shown to be founded upon, and simultaneously constitutive of, a vision of universally shared humanity. However, the icc performs this role of norm-entrepreneurship within a structure premised upon Westphalian notions of sovereignty that are not conducive to this vision. This tension is embedded within the Rome Statute due to compromises struck in its drafting between those actors who envisioned a solidarist ‘world community’, and those attached to the status quo of an ‘international society’. These compromises have given rise to power relations that undermine the vision of ending impunity for international crimes. Consequently, it is not simply by one’s conduct that they come before the Court as a hostis humani generis, but rather because they have no powerful friends left. The efficacy of the icc is contingent on this transition between two competing conceptions of international society.

Mutual Relations

The article is a linguistic lecture on mutual relations between legal language and legislative language on the semantic, syntactic, pragmatic and stylistic planes. The author analysed decisions and official regulations with regard to the status of language as well as the linguistic understanding of communication. A decisive official act is a testimony of the primary reading of the text of a legislative act by an official, fulfilling the role of an interpreter and a decision maker in applying law. He fulfils a duty imposed on him by the norm of competence, verbalised in principles of legal acts. In the process of organizing a legal text, he makes use of the rules of language, according to both the studied and the statutorily recommended rules of the interpretations of law. Through evoking the content of legal articles in official documents, therefore through concretization of legal norms in the process of reception, the legal meanings and contexts undergo a certain kind of assimilation by an official-interpreter. Later, they become adapted in corresponding legal situations, and finally, as a consequence, a process of universalization of knowledge about the established law takes place, because an official-decision maker inscribes his personal knowledge of the legislative content into a specific legal reality of his own community.

Executive Officers

Currently, when the role of the subjective factor in all public processes, without exception, becomes almost crucial, the study of the theory and practice of management at all levels is becoming increasingly urgent. Due to various reasons, municipal entity heads, possessing significant powers, often fail to copy their duties. In our view, without theoretical analysis of the status of the ME head, the solution of other heuristic tasks is problematic. The analysis of the current scientific literature indicates the absence of a unified approach to understanding the essence and structure of the executive officers power and authority. And it appears to be non-casual. The legal status of the ME head, as we are trying to prove, is dialectally contradictory to the legal status of the personality, which also does not hold true among the scientists. The article examines these key concepts in the context of the existing literature, but primarily with a focus on the analysis of relevant legislation. As a result, the authors give their understanding of the legal status of the individual and the citizen and the legal status of the ME head. With that, the emphasis is placed not on the rights but on the responsibilities, which in acquiring powers of office, impose limitations on the rights and freedoms of the ME head as the individual and the citizen. Only proper understanding of this collision will give rise to the prerequisites for improving the management quality.

The study of what is called “customary law” and “non-written rules” is always faced with ambiguity due to the lack of written resources. The reason for emphasizing the role of custom and applying the words on their customary meanings was to re-focus on this rich source of rights, which is far from sights. By reviewing the Articles, books and documentary data, we tried to look again at the status of unwritten conventions, legal rules and legal principles that could be interpreted as legal norms. If written or assigned to a bunch or a material to them, along with other laws they can be a good complement. This paper intends to review the role of custom and habit in concluding contracts by reviewing past comparative law studies and helping out the role of custom and unwritten rights. Besides, it intends to unify the material of Arts. 220, 225 and other Arts. of civil law of the parties to the awareness of the custom, because ignorance of the customary is not like ignorance of the law.

One measure of the maturity of a device technology is the ease and reliability of applying contact metallurgy. Compared to metal contact of silicon, the status of GaAs metallization is still at its primitive stage. With the advent of GaAs MESFET and integrated circuits, very stringent requirements were placed on their metal contacts. During the past few years, extensive researches have been conducted in the area of Au-Ge-Ni in order to lower contact resistances and improve uniformity. In this paper, we report the results of TEM study of interfacial reactions between Ni and GaAs as part of the attempt to understand the role of nickel in Au-Ge-Ni contact of GaAs.N-type, Si-doped, (001) oriented GaAs wafers, 15 mil in thickness, were grown by gradient-freeze method. Nickel thin films, 300Å in thickness, were e-gun deposited on GaAs wafers. The samples were then annealed in dry N2 in a 3-zone diffusion furnace at temperatures 200°C - 600°C for 5-180 minutes. Thin foils for TEM examinations were prepared by chemical polishing from the GaA.s side. TEM investigations were performed with JE0L- 100B and JE0L-200CX electron microscopes.
