Relationship-Building Skills of Child-Rearing Mothers in Japanese Communities by Hikaru Honda, Nobuko Matsuda, Michiyo Hirano, Kazuko Saeki

“…The mothers’ interpersonal relationship-building skills were described by six categories: “ability to strive for new encounters,” “ability to try to interact socially with others,” “ability to choose compatible people,” “ability to continuously maintain good relationships,” “ability to take action suitable to a situation,” and “ability to build positive relationships with parents-in-law.” Cognitive aspects of assessing and understanding the interactions that occur during exchanges and behavioral aspects guided by these cognitions were identified within these skills. …”

Simulation of Gas Transport in Tight/Shale Gas Reservoirs by a Multicomponent Model Based on PEBI Grid by Longjun Zhang, Daolun Li, Lei Wang, Detang Lu

“…The ultra-low permeability and nanosize pores of tight/shale gas reservoir would lead to non-Darcy flow including slip flow, transition flow, and free molecular flow, which cannot be described by traditional Darcy’s law. The organic content often adsorbs some gas content, while the adsorbed amount for different gas species is different. …”

Standardisation of prof by investigating judges when exercising their powers to consider requests for permission to conduct procedural actions by R. M. Balats

“…The function of judicial control finds its practical implementation through the formal existence of a certain range of powers of the investigating judge and through their exercise during criminal proceedings; 2) the consideration of requests for permission to conduct procedural actions is a type of powers of the investigating judge aimed at exercising the function of judicial control over the observance of the rights, freedoms and interests of persons in criminal proceedings; 3) the consideration of requests for permission to conduct procedural actions is carried out in the form of evidence, which is standardised by the legislator; 4) standards of proof are a set of rules that must be followed by the subject of criminal proceedings and ensure that he or she has the level of conviction necessary to make a lawful and reasonable decision; 5) when considering requests for procedural actions (depending on the type of procedural action), the investigating judge must be guided by the following standards of proof: reasonable grounds, reasonable suspicion; beyond reasonable doubt; 6) the guidelines for the application of the “beyond reasonable doubt” standard by the investigating judge when deciding on the choice of preventive measures are not directly provided for by law, but follow from the nature and objectives of this procedure.…”

„Tyłek nie szklanka” – o popularności kar cielesnych w wychowaniu by Ewa Jarosz, Cezary Kurkowski

“…In the light of several indicators that show: the level of social acceptance of violent behaviors in relationship with a child, treating beating children a method of child rising and social awareness of the ban of corporal punishment and the assessment of the law as well as attitudes to others actions, the paper presents considerations about the level of the social acceptance of violence against children, which is seen in Poland and on that ground also rather sad conclusions about the risk of the use of violence in everyday raising practice but also a risk of violence toward a child in its serious forms that harm to health and life of a child. …”

Relative Permeability of Porous Media with Nonuniform Pores by He Chen, Minghui Yang, Ke Chen, Chao Zhang

“…Moreover, the index factor can be captured by a newly defined parameter, called the nonuniformity factor, which is used to establish an extended Darcy’s law. Based on these, a fractal-based continuous analytical model and a fractal-based Monte Carlo model of relative permeability as well as a permeability-porosity model are established. …”
