It is the responsibility of the law enforcement authorities to constantly improve the technical and tactical methods of crime detection. As a consequence, attention is directed towards forensic sciences. Improving technical and tactical solutions is part of ist tasks. Forensic sciences are not passive in the face of expectations regarding the improvement of personal identification methods, as well as other solutions (investigative tools, equipment of forensics). The conducted research projects clearly prove that. Other issue is the process of implementing new solutions, which is often time-consuming and costly. The often skeptical way of perceiving way new achievments by representatives of criminal process does not make the task easier. Generally, successful implementation is determined by many factors. Technical features of the new solutions ar...

Oferta dostępnych tam sposobów poprawienia urody może różnić się w zależności od gabinetu. Nie są to jedynie starania kosmetologów o bycie konkurencyjnym na rynku, lecz są wynikiem braku regulacji prawnych odnoszących się w bezpośredni sposób do tego, co wolno kosmetologowi. Wobec powyższego rynek usług kosmetycznych charakteryzuje się samowolą co do osób prowadzących tego rodzaju gabinety, jak i co do rodzaju wykonywanych zabiegów. Mimo braku stosownych regulacji osoby wykonujące tego rodzaju zabiegi ponoszą odpowiedzialność karną za wykonywanie usług, do których nie są uprawnione. Niniejsze opracowanie ma na celu wskazanie podstaw prawnych wykonywania zawodu kosmetologa, w tym określenie uprawnień kosmetologów. Ponadto podjęto próbę określenia zasad funkcjonowania gabinetów kosmetycznych, a także podstaw karnoprawnej odpowiedzialności kosmetologów za oszustwa przy wykonywaniu zabiegów.

The task of unifying the codification of the law was entrusted to the Codification Commission, established on the basis of the Act of 1919. The Commission was to prepare draft legislation in the field of civil and criminal law. It was a body of 44 lawyers and had a high degree of independence from political factors. As a result of the Commission’s work, more than 20 legal acts were created. In the area of civil law, these were laws mainly related to foreign legal transactions. These included, among others, bills of exchange and cheque law, copyright law, patent law, law on combating unfair competition. The two laws of 1926 were of particular importance: private international law and inter-district law. Three codes of private law were also created: the Code of Obligations (1933, considered the most outstanding civil work of the Commission), the Commercial Code and the Code of Civil Procedure. In the area of criminal law, a full codification was carried out, first by implementing the Code of Criminal Procedure (1928) and then the Criminal Code (1932). These two acts were based on different doctrinal bases, which made criminal law inconsistent. The Criminal Code of Juliusz Makarewicz in particular was an outstanding work, based on the findings of the School of Sociological Criminal Law. The Codification Commission did not finish its work until the outbreak of the war. However, present codes are largely based on the solutions developed within the Commission.

Among the new topic areas, the new themes included complicity, cybercrime, deterrence, law, mental health, sex work and human traffi cking, fear of crime, and the media.

Toksyna botulinowa została odkryta w 1817 r. przez lekarza niemieckiego pochodzenia Justina Kernera podczas oględzin ciała pacjenta, który zmarł na skutek zatrucia po spożyciu spleśniałej kiełbasy 2. Jednak w 1897 r. bakterię Bacillus botulinus oraz wytwarzaną przez nią toksynę po raz pierwszy wyizolował i nazwał mikrobiolog Emil Pierre Marie van Ermengem. Współcześnie szczep bakterii Bacillus botulinus znany jest pod nazwą systematyczną Clostridium botulinum 3. Współcześnie, wskutek rozwoju medycyny, toksyna botulinowa

The most notable feature has been a growth in the significance of the native religion which for the overwhelming vast majority of Poles is Catholicism. According to official statistics members of the Catholic Church in Poland constitute 95% of the population, other Christian faiths account for just under 3% and adherents of other religions, sects, religious and pseudo-religious or world view-based movements, including atheism, for only about 2%. However, another phenomenon has been taking place in the shadow of the process of change: the appearance and spread of new religious and para-religious movements. In Poland these movements appeared at a somewhat later date than in the West where their first wave of popularity coincided with the rise of the youth counter-culture movement at the turn of the sixties and seventies. New religious movements began to appear in Poland in the seventies and ...

Transplantation has achieved increasing support and acceptance among Polish people; however, there are still many ethical, moral, and legal barriers related to this form of treatment of end-stage organ failure. MATERIAL AND METHODS The research method is a diagnostic survey of 347 law students from the Faculty of Law, University of Bialystok, Poland. The research tool was the authors' questionnaire. RESULTS Responders were 21.172 ± 1.34 years old (67.4% female, 74.4% urban residence). Organ procurement and transplantation from living donors are accepted by 95.6% of respondents; 97.4% are accepted from deceased donors. More than 80.4% of the respondents would agree to organ donation from their family members after death and to be donors after their death. The majority of students (80.1%) believe that the final decision of deceased organ donation should be made by the family. Despite positive attitude towards transplantation (97%), about 2% have submitted their objection to the central registry. Refusal of organ donation was associated mainly with emotions related to death (89%) and religion (47.6%). According to responders, the transplantation should be managed by patients and donors (42.1%) and universities (31.7%). CONCLUSIONS Law students generally accept procurement of organs from deceased and living donors, but in situations related to family members, their acceptance rates drop significantly. According to future lawyers, patients, donors, and universities should educate society about issues related to organ transplantation.

The Faculty of Law of the University of Bialystok, specifically the Department of Criminal Law and Criminology, is one of the leading Polish academic entities conducting extensive research in the field of criminology.

The paper presents not only the international criminology conferences and research that Bialystok School of Criminology has been...

These are the so-called anti-crisis shields - shield 1.0, shield 3.0 and shield 4.0. The primary role of these laws was to respond to the crises related to the COVID-19 epidemic. Amendments to the Penal Code were introduced in a manner inconsistent with the Constitution of the Republic of Poland and the Regulations of the Sejm of the Republic of Poland. The mere legislative change and increasing punitiveness of the criminal law system and penal policy will not significantly reduce crime. The work is of a presentative and systematising character. The assumed hypothesis boils down to the assertion that the changes to the penal code made pursuant to the so-called anti-Covid laws are irrational and introduced without the required legislative procedure. The study mainly used the formal-dogmatic method.

The article is of dogmatic-empirical nature. The dogmatic part includes provisions of the 1997 Penal Code and the acts not covered by the code. The empirical part is based on the statistical data provided by the Ministry of Justice and the National Police Headquarters. The data shows a discrepancy between the statistics and the real situation, as well as the importance of the so-called dark figure of crimes against the natural environment. It should be note, that the environmental protection system in Poland is very imperfect and contains numerous gaps that are taken advantage of by perpetrators who cause numerous violations and hazards to the natural environment. The public awareness in the area of an...
