Since its inception in 1994, the UW had to cope with internal frictions between various factions: liberal socialists ( such as Leszek Balcerowicz ), those proposing a more liberal economic agenda in a more conservative, bourgeois guise ( such as Donald Tusk ), more progressive social democrats such as Jacek Kuroń, and intellectual former civil rights activists such as Bronisław Geremek or Tadeusz Mazowiecki, who also has a strong background in liberal Catholicism and leans towards Christian democracy.

Since the islets had an " undefined internal status ", the immigrants did not benefit from the Spanish immigration laws and, under a joint operation, Spanish troops tended to the women, children, and medical needs of the immigrants, then turned them back over to Morocco.

Since Claudius ( like most of the members of his dynasty ) heavily criticized his predecessors and relatives in surviving speeches, it is not hard to imagine the nature of Suetonius ' charge.

Since current can be the flow of either positive or negative charges, or both, a convention for the direction of current which is independent of the type of charge carriers is needed.

Since the electrons have a negative charge, they are repelled by the cathode and attracted to the anode.

Since the direction of an electric field is defined as the direction of the force on a positive charge, electric field lines point away from a positive charge and toward a negative charge.

Since large bodies such as planets generally carry no net charge, the electric field at a distance is usually zero.

Since charge is preserved, some vertices still have positive charge.
