The aim of this study is to analyze the most frequently used definitions of the term „scientific literacy“ in the specialised literature and be integrated into a holistic construction essential features which are commonly identified. The methodological basis of the study are the ideas of epistemological constructivism. The theoretical analysis is focused on the definitions of the concept „scientific literacy “ in primary literature sources – articles and documents of international organizations as related to school science education. It has a focus on definitions of the early 90s of the 20th century and especially those after the beginning of the 21st century – the time of intensive educational reforms globally whose general trend is to develop scientific literacy for all students. We have found common aspects between the different definitions by comparing of preliminary extracted components which function as criteria and indicators in the analysis undertaken: (1) Knowledge – factual and conceptual knowledge of the natural world; understanding of the nature of science. (2) Skills and abilities – scientific inquiry of nature phenomena in school setting; solving and decision-making on socio-scientific issues in learning context; communication and collaboration with others. (3) Attitude and behavior – awareness and evaluation of the interactions between science, technology and society; value attitudes and responsible behavior towards the environment. (4) Metacognition – metacognitive knowledge and metacognitive skills. The results of the analysis are the basis for designing a general model which presents our views of scientific literacy in the early 21st century as a holistic construct. It brings together four interrelated dimensions – cognitive-epistemic, functional, social and metacognitive. These dimensions operate simultaneously in certain context (personal, social and/or global) with leading and integrating role of metacognition.

The article discusses the relationships between the residents of the town Knyszyn inthe Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and the soldiers of the state army quartered in thetown in 1650–51. The surviving excerpts from the records of the municipal court contain awide array of cases (albeit always making use of physical violence) against the townspeople, who made use of soldiers in confl icts with their neighbours. On the other hand, the presenceof soldiers let the townspeople trade with soldiers and their servants, and also levelcertain moral charges against the neighbours. Due to legal complexities, these were notthe soldiers who were summoned to the municipal courts but rather the neighbours who supposedly inspired violent soldier behaviours.

Thermodynamically, bosons and fermions differ by their statistics only. A general entropy functional is proposed by superposition of entropic terms, typical for different quantum gases. The statistical properties of the corresponding Janus particles are derived by variation of the weight of the boson/fermion fraction. It is shown that di-bosons and anti-fermions separate in gas and liquid phases, while three-phase equilibrium appears for poly-boson/fermion Janus particles.

Three pyrazolyl copper(II) complexes vz. diaqua-bis(3-ferrocenyl-1H-pyrazole)-dinitrato-copper(II) (C1), diaqua-(3-ferrocenylpyrazolyl-1-methylene pyridine)-dinitrato-copper(II) (C2) and diaqua-bis(3-phenyl-1H-pyrazole)-dinitrato-copper(II) nitrito (C3) have been synthesized and characterized by IR spectroscopy, UV-vis, thermogravimetric analysis, melting point determination and magnetic measurements. The complexes were obtained in low to high yields and the combination of various techniques suggests that these complexes show an octahedral geometry with coordination via two nitrogen atoms from the pyrazolyl ligand, two oxygen atoms from water molecules and two oxygen atoms from the nitrate group. All complexes are thermally stable in the temperature range of 80-100oC. The antimicrobial activities were screened using a range of gram negative and gram positive bacteria and fungi. It was observed that all the complexes have anti-microbial activities against studied microbes.

The Chamber of Industry and Commerce in Lublin was established in 1929. It did not run any educational institutions on its own, yet it supported (financially and organisationally) schools in the Voivodeships (regions) of Lublin and Volhynia, especially the Vetter Secondary School for Boys and the Syroczyński School of Crafts and Industry. The Chamber approved draft education acts for the Ministry of Denominations and Public Education, cooperated with Lublin Education Authority, awarded scholarships and grantsfor schools, and delegated its representatives to school councils. An interesting educational project was the psycho-technical laboratory.

A series of reactions that result in the synthesis of novel thiazolidynones based on 4-chloro-3-nitrobenzopyran-2-one is presented in this study. During the condensation reaction of 4-chloro-3-nitrobenzopyran-2-one 2 and benzene-1,4-diamine, 4-(4-Amino-phenylamino)-3-nitro-chromen-2-one 3 is synthesized in high yield. By catalytic condensation of product 3 and benzaldehyde, salicylaldehyde and 3-nitrobenzaldehyde, novel derivatives of 4-[4-(Benzylidene-amino)-phenylamino]-3-nitrobenzopyran-2-one, 4(a-c), as condensation products are synthesized. In the following series of reactions, by cyclization of the products 4(a-c) and 2-mercaptopropionic acid, corresponding substituted thiazolidinones 5(a-c) are synthesized. Determination of structure of the synthesized products is done on the basis of spectrometric data. Compounds 4(a-c) and 5(a-c) are examined for their antibacterial activity against S. aureus, E. coli and Klebsiella by measuring the zones of inhibition around the disks impregnated with the corresponding solutions of compounds in N,N-DMF concentration 2 mg/mL, 4 mg/mL and 6 mg/mL. Compounds of series 4 have shown moderate antibacterial activity against these microorganisms, whereas compounds of series 5 have shown significant activity. The impact of substitutions in antmicrobial activity is also explored.

Refleksje pedagogiczno-teologiczne dotyczące procesu destygmatyzacji z postawy dewiacyjnej w normatywną ze względu na zastosowanie we wspólnocie kościoła katolickiego inicjuje cytat wypowiedzi Jana Pawła II do więźniów: „Jesteście skazani, to prawda, ale nie potępieni”. Dlatego narracja tego tematu opiera się na podejściu do prawdy o człowieku i Bogu, stosowanym przez uczonego wyznania mojżeszowego, Viktora Emila Frankla, znawcy Starego Testamentu, oraz Jana Pawła II, znawcy Starego i Nowego Testamentu. Ich podejście do tematu jest oparte na poznaniu tego samego Boga i człowieka przez rozum i przez wiarę, co nadaje mu oryginalne znaczenie w historycznym procesie starotestamentowego i nowotestamentowego wytłumaczenia pojednania – czyli powrotu do postawy normatywnej – w wymiarze jednostkowym i wspólnotowym, dotyczącym współczesności.

Pedagogical and theological thinking about the process of destigmatisation from the deviation attitude into normative one according to using it in the Catholic Church’s Community is initiated by quote of John Paul II to prisoners: “You are sentenced, but not damned”. So that, narration of this topic is based on approach to truth – about a man and God – used by scholar of Jewish faith which was Victor Emil Frankl. He is called as the judge of The Old Testament as John Paul II the judge of Old and New Testament. Their attitude to the topic is based on knowing the same God and a man through the mind and faith, what confers on original meaning in the historical process of Old and New testament’s explanation for reconciliation. In other words, returning to the normative approach in the single and community dimension, involving contemporary times.

Nowadays the main purpose of online media is to attract the attention of readers. There is competition between different media. They invent retention mechanisms. The journalistic style uses a large number of style figures. All these style figures are intended to trivialize or dramatize the information and make it exceptional. When the desire to please the readers outweighs that of informing, objectivity and sometimes the truth are threatened.

This publication continues scientific research on design concepts, relevant graphic design, and conditions of their implementation in the promotional products. This article examines the implementation variability of the ethnical concepts based on various iconic-symbolic elements and their groupings. The article gives the foundation for the presence of typical composite groupings. It describes the conditions for a compositional organization of information according to the ethnical concept.It is proved that the designer’s project proposals are unable to encode the content accurately in case they do not have a clearly defined vector style. Thus, the implemented projects do not apply visual methods nor clarify the content, but cover the content up.The article demonstrates that the letter font, symbol and sign elements are the most condactive for the visual embodiment of ethnically oriented design concepts. Because of them, a significant number of imaginative, emotional and contextual material is transformed into a set of stereotypes about certain ethnic culture. The combined effect of these elements can increase due to compliance with the conditions of the composite representation of information codes or decrease due to the neglection of the established compositional patterns. Each code represents well organized, and to some extent typical compositional scheme. This is an equal pointer ethnic oriented media, as well as signs, letters and symbols within this scheme.For Ukrainian ethnical concept the main features for of the compositional organization of information are fundamentality, concordance, symbolism, subordination. Fundamentality. It is the selection of resistant composite connections between different elements or their stable groups distributed within a culture that are not compatible with infinite variation of their combinations, but are the subjects to the traditions of visual coding. .Concordance. It is an interaction of ethnic characters or visually stylized images without keeping precision scale, rhythm, contrast, nuance. These characters partially ordered or they are based on repeated changes of ordering. (at the background area, or within the main semantic forms). This compositional method imposes restrictions on the "creative space" in relation to quantitative and qualitative composition as separate elements, as well as composite their groups involved in it.Symbolism. It is an emphasis on the original form symbolism that was realized because of the accuracy and pithiness of graphical implementation of the essential qualities. These qualities have to be transmitted by visual channels. The compositive group based on retention of this technique, focuses on meaningful fillings for one of the encoding means (signs, symbols or letters font) or it secretes the opposition or merge of several images based on the same mean, in such a way that a new formation would get a consistancy of interpretation.Subordination. This is subordination and coordination of shapes, sizes, and related plastic changes between stylized, formalized textual and emblematic elements of the visual message. Because of subordination relationships between elements of visual get credibility and solid outline information notice get consistency.
