Grażyna Dryżałowska, Special pedagogy at a crossroads. Perspectives of contemporary special pedagogy. Interdisciplinary Contexts of Special Pedagogy, no. 25, Poznań 2019. Pp. 105-125. Adam Mickiewicz University Press. ISSN 2300-391X. DOI: https://doi.org/10.14746/ikps.2019.25.05 The article is an attempt to reflect on the difficult situation in which special pedagogy was found. It is more difficult than the crisis that took place after 1989, because the fascination with the idea of normalisation and integration is gradually decreasing, and there is no new concepts for the further development of special education as a scientific sub-discipline obliged to respond to modern challenges.

The historical approach enables us to perceive the specific legal phenomenon as continuous and to study the antecedents of current (or even future) legal challenges. This article discusses the possibilities of invoking the historical notion of ius commune (and various new concepts based on it) in a contemporary legal discourse on the future of the European Union (EU) law. Since issues of integrity and homogeneity remain central to the consideration of further legal developments of the EU legal framework it is especially relevant to look back at one of the most prominent phenomena in the Western legal tradition – ius commune, which to some extent united legal thought throughout pre-modern Europe. By analysing inherent characteristics related to its sources, methods and interaction with other (local) legal systems, we attempt to define the limits of such historical analogy. This may allow answering the questions as to whether and to what extent the model of medieval-originated ius commune could inspire further development of the EU legal framework (as a new ius commune).

The author examines the draft of standard new version (GOST R 7.0.94–2015 “SIBID. Library document acquisitions. Terms and definitions”. The need for ordering terms in the area of collection development and collection studies. Owing to the terminology’s expanding onto collection studies, the standard title has changed from “Library collections. Terms and definitions”. The standard focuses on terms and definitions within the subject area of “library collection studies, library collections”. The vectors of standard drafting are discussed: outdated standardized definitions are edited; processes structure and contents are changed according to the modern theory and practice related to library collections; concept list for library collection characteristics is expanded; new concepts to describe library activities in digital environment are introduced. The draft standard comprises 170 terms and the alphabet index. The author describes Rosstandardregulated approaches toward national standard development [Rosstandard – Federal Agency on Technical Regulating and Metrology]. The new version key provisions and definitions can be used for references and will support further development of new regulations, methodological documents and instructions for library activities, and library collection studies.

On the basis of elaboration and analysis of literary sources, a modern state of scientific research on evolution, genesis, distribution, morphology, classification of initial soils and peculiarities of initial soil formation, in general, has been established. There are three main discussion directions in modern scientific researches, in particular, the issues of terminology (change of its semantic content with the development of new concepts in soil science), morphological features and genesis of initial soils. A detailed analysis of available factual materials with authorial modifi cations allowed to form the following evolutionary series: embryonic (germinal) soils – the soil-like body (kurumy) - primary (incipient) – primitive (young) – weakly developed soils. Embryonic soils are organo-mineral layers with a thickness of up to 1 cm, dark brown, dark gray homogeneous color, which are closely adjacent to the dense rock and severely separated, have no signs of division into horizons and are formed under lithophilic groups and lichens. They form separate spots (up to 1 m), confi ned to small depressions, cracks within the rock. Further development of the embryonic process due to the settlement of leaf lichens, the combination of the processes of pedogenesis and lithogenesis cause the formation of Kurums with an organogenic layer thickness of up to 3 cm, which lies directly on a dense rocky rock and is easily separated from it. There are no signs of division into genetic horizons. The soil-like bodies (Kurum) are fragmentarily combined with the weakly developed soils zones within cracks and clefts and embryonic soils. The placement of the moss layer prepared during the embryonic stage intensifies the processes of accumulation of organic matter and the growth of soils upwards. Under the mosses on the dense rocks, the primary (initial) soils are formed. These soils have the power of the organogenic horizon up to 10 cm and marked signs of differentiation on the soil horizons. Settlements on mosses of meadow grass, turf crops, shrubs cause an increase in the power of the organogenic horizon to 20 cm with the allocation of genetic horizons that lie on a dense rock without signs of the development and formation of eluvial deposits. Such signs are characteristic of primitive (young) soils. Key words: initial soils, initial soils formation, the soil-like body, embryonic soils.

AbstractBattlefield internal medicine aims at the treatment of combatants and noncombatants with various internal diseases on the battlefield. The military medical research on battlefield internal diseases focuses on the pathogenesis, clinical management, and prevention of internal diseases under military war conditions. In both wartime and peacetime, the soldiers suffer from more internal diseases than surgical wounds. With the introduction of high-tech weapons, including chemical, physical, and biological agents, a large number of special internal illnesses and casualties will appear in future wars. The battles often occur in special environments, such as high or low temperatures, plateau or polar areas, and micro- or hyper-gravity. The current theories of battlefield internal medicine are mainly derived from wars decades ago and cannot meet the needs of military medical support under the conditions of modern warfare. Therefore, the military medical research on battlefield internal medicine should be based on contemporary military situations, focus on the purpose of treating battlefield internal diseases, and adhere to the actual needs of the troops in peacetime and wartime. We should investigate the pathogenesis of battlefield internal diseases and explore the threats that may arise in future wars to ensure the advancement of battlefield internal medicine. This review highlights new concepts, demands, challenges, and opportunities for the further development of military medical research on battlefield internal medicine.

As a relatively new discipline, psychiatry always strived to live up to the latest medical standards. In doing so, it had to let itself be judged above all by its institutions. However, with each step forward taken in the field of medicine, these buildings were regarded as out of date as quickly as they were built. In this respect, therefore, district hospitals in Bavaria represent a special case. In a few decades and in line with the development of medicinal treatment and new concepts in hospitals, therapy and care, they became specialist hospitals. However, constant calls for modernisation have raised questions about how their old architecture can be integrated and continued to be used. In 2019, the ‘Bezirksheimatpflege Mittelfranken’, the association responsible for the cultivation of regional values and traditions in Middle Franconia, organised a conference in this regard called ‘District Hospitals and the Preservation of Buildings of Special Architectural Interest’. The lectures from the conference are compiled in this book and are supplemented by other contributions. Eight essays underline the tremendous importance of such district hospitals and provide insights into the problems posed by their maintenance, use and further development.

Ceramics, such as Al2O3 and SiC have numerous current and potential uses in applications where high temperature strength, hardness, and wear resistance are required often in corrosive environments. These materials are, however, highly anisotropic and brittle, so that their mechanical behavior is often unpredictable. The further development of these materials will require a better understanding of the basic mechanisms controlling deformation, wear, and fracture.The purpose of this talk is to describe applications of TEM to the study of the deformation, wear, and fracture of Al2O3. Similar studies are currently being conducted on SiC and the techniques involved should be applicable to a wide range of hard, brittle materials.

The issue of strong flux pinning is crucial to the further development of high critical current density Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-O (BSCCO) superconductors in conductor-like applications, yet the pinning mechanisms are still much debated. Anomalous peaks in the M-H (magnetization vs. magnetic field) loops are commonly observed in Bi2Sr2CaCu2Oy (Bi-2212) single crystals. Oxygen vacancies may be effective flux pinning centers in BSCCO, as has been found in YBCO. However, it has also been proposed that basal-plane dislocation networks also act as effective pinning centers. Yang et al. proposed that the characteristic scale of the basal-plane dislocation networksmay strongly depend on oxygen content and the anomalous peak in the M-H loop at ˜20-30K may be due tothe flux pinning of decoupled two-dimensional pancake vortices by the dislocation networks. In light of this, we have performed an insitu observation on the dislocation networks precisely at the same region before and after annealing in air, vacuumand oxygen, in order to verify whether the dislocation networks change with varying oxygen content Inall cases, we have not found any noticeable changes in dislocation structure, regardless of the drastic changes in Tc and the anomalous magnetization. Therefore, it does not appear that the anomalous peak in the M-H loops is controlled by the basal-plane dislocation networks.

In comparison with the developers of other forms of instrumentation, scanning electron microscope manufacturers are among the most conservative of people. New concepts usually must wait many years before being exploited commercially. The field emission gun, developed by Albert Crewe and his coworkers in 1968 is only now becoming widely available in commercial instruments, while the innovative lens designs of Mulvey are still waiting to be commercially exploited. The associated electronics is still in general based on operating procedures which have changed little since the original microscopes of Oatley and his co-workers.The current interest in low-voltage scanning electron microscopy will, if sub-nanometer resolution is to be obtained in a useable instrument, lead to fundamental changes in the design of the electron optics. Perhaps this is an opportune time to consider other fundamental changes in scanning electron microscopy instrumentation.
