This commentary provides a critical assessment of the judgment of the Court of Appeal in Katowice of 13 February 2025, I ACa 547/18, concerning so-called non-existent arbitral awards. It examines the criteria that distinguish arbitral awards from sham acts and argues that applying setting-aside proceedings to documents that are not arbitral awards distorts the system. The commentary advocates for treating such acts as legally non-existent, which better serves legal certainty and the stability of legal transactions.

This data paper presents a dataset, of 12,361 observations compiled from the Happiness Meanders project, which explores cultural variations in individual and family well-being, ideal and actual happiness, emotional experiences and expressions, and cultural models of selfhood across 48 countries. Participants were recruited through academic networks. Data were collected using standardised scales, including the Satisfaction with Life Scale, the Interdependent Happiness Scale, the Cultural Models of Selfhood Scale, and the Emotional Experience and Expression inspired by Affect Valuation Index. The dataset underwent thorough technical validation, including checks for variable consistency, handling missing data, and identifying potential response biases. A filter for data quality was applied, with potentially unreliable data flagged for exclusion. This dataset offers a valuable resource for examining cultural influences on emotional dynamics (frequence of experience and expression), individual and family oriented evaluations of happiness, ideal and actual evaluation of happiness, cultural models of selfhood, and can support further research in cross-cultural psychology and related social sciences.
"Postcards from War" is an artistic-historical exploration inspired by Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The project collages Soviet propaganda postcards with contemporary war photographs. This juxtaposition highlights both the ideological source and the grim reality of imperialist aspirations. The project also pays homage to Martha Rosler's book "House Beautiful: Bringing the War Home" (1967–1972). The works were presented as part of the exhibition "Lost Territories. Tracing Imperial Violence" by the Sputnik Photos collective (of which Agnieszka Rayss is a member and co-founder) at Fotodok in Utrecht from November 27, 2025, to March 1, 2026. The exhibition was organized with the financial support of the City of Utrecht and the Mondriaan Fund. The project was first made public as part of the international Archivo LAB 2024 project "Archivo and Conflict", during an open video meeting on July 7, 2024. Selected works from the series were printed in 50 copies, in size 24 x 30 cm, and are available on the Archivo website.
