Authors: Mollenkopf Dawn L. , Gaskill Martonia C.
Published: December 2022

Political and social pressures, influenced by research on the importance of early learning experiences, are putting pressure on the early childhood workforce to go back to school to complete required certification or degrees. Online programs are effective solutions when they include a multi-layered system of supports. This chapter showcases how one university has built and maintained an early childhood program that allows fully online and face-to-face delivery options for completing bachelor's degrees or certification. Lessons learned will help other early childhood teacher education programs know how to (1) build the technological infrastructure behind successful online programs to ensure student persistence and completion; (2) provide instructor and course supports for successful online course completion, including field-based courses and student teaching; and (3) incorporate student supports that enable early childhood teachers to utilize technology successfully to complete their program. Adjustments and technological supports during the COVID-19 pandemic will also be addressed.

DIÁLOGOS ENTRE C. G. JUNG E WILLIAM JAMES: AS PESQUISAS PSÍQUICAS
Authors: Resende Pedro Henrique Costa de , Melo Walter
Published: December 2022

G. Jung e William James compartilhavam uma série de interesses de pesquisa. Por ocasião da Conferência realizada na Universidade de Clark, no ano de 1909, os dois autores tiveram a oportunidade de se encontrar e conversar. Os debates abordaram temas que não estavam na pauta da conferência, especialmente pesquisas psíquicas, também chamadas modernamente de experiências anomalísticas ou relacionadas à ‘psi’. Desde seu período como estudante de medicina, Jung se interessou pelos fenômenos anômalos da consciência, tendo pesquisado os principais autores associados ao espiritualismo dos séculos XVIII e XIX. William James foi pesquisador reconhecido dos chamados fenômenos psíquicos, tendo participado de sociedades como a Society for Psychical Research e a American Society for Psychical Research. Através de seus estudos, James e Jung buscavam contribuir para a psicologia dinâmica, também chamada de psicologia profunda. O objetivo deste artigo foi ampliar os diálogos estabelecidos na universidade de Clark, resgatando informações importantes acerca da teoria dos dois autores.
Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis in pregnancy and puerperium
Authors: Algahtani Hussein , Bazaid Abdulrahman , Shirah Bader , Bouges Raghad N
Published: December 2022

Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) is a distinct neurological emergency caused by occlusion, either partial or complete, of the dural venous sinus and/or the cerebral veins. It occurs more frequently in women during pregnancy and puerperium as compared to the general population. The clinical diagnosis is difficult in some cases due to its variable clinical presentation with numerous causes and risk factors. The diagnosis can be made at an early stage if clinical suspicion is high with the help of advanced neuroimaging techniques that were developed recently. Early therapeutic intervention using anticoagulants allows for preventing complications and improving outcomes. In this article, we review the topic of CVST in pregnancy and the postpartum period with an emphasis on its epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical presentation, and treatment. We also elaborate on several practical points that are important to the treating team. This review will help obstetricians, neurologists, and emergency physicians diagnose affected pregnant women as early as possible to provide prompt treatment and avoid adverse outcomes.
Comparison and evaluation of two different crystalloids - Normal saline and plasmalyte in patients of traumatic brain injury undergoing craniotomy
Authors: Bala Renu , Bansal Teena , Mundra Anshul , Kamal Kirti
Published: December 2022

BACKGROUND AND AIMS:

Fluid therapy is one of the most important components of the management of patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI). The present study was planned to compare plasmalyte and normal saline (NS) in patients who underwent craniotomies for TBI in terms of their effects on acid–base equilibrium, renal functions, and coagulation profile.

METHODS:

Fifty patients of age 18–45 years of either sex, who underwent emergency craniotomy for TBI, were included in the study. The patients were randomized into two groups. Group P (n = 25) received isotonic balanced crystalloid (plasmalyte) and Group N (n = 25) received NS intraoperatively and postoperatively till 24 h after surgery.

RESULTS:

The pH was lower in Group N (P < 0.05) at different time points after surgery. Similarly, more patients in Group N had pH <7.3 (P < 0.05); while the rest of the metabolic parameters were comparable in the two groups. Blood urea and serum creatinine were higher in Group N. Coagulation profile was comparable in the two groups.

CONCLUSION:

Acid–base, electrolyte balance, and renal profile were better in patients receiving plasmalyte as compared to NS. Hence, it can be a wiser choice for fluid management in patients of TBI undergoing craniotomy.
Extracranial reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome associated with vertebral artery dissection
Authors: Yoon Miyeon , Kim Taewon
Published: December 2022

In the present vignette, we describe a lateral medullary infarction developed immediately after strenuous straining owing to constipation in a 42-year-old female. There was a dissection in left vertebral artery V4 segment. Computed tomography (CT) angiography revealed beaded appearance of cervical V2 and V3 segments of bilateral vertebral arteries. A follow-up CT angiogram performed about 3 months later showed resolution of vasoconstriction and normalization of vertebral arteries. Reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS) is usually known as an intracranial pathologic condition. Extracranial RCVS is very rare. Therefore, the diagnosis of RCVS could be challenging when its location is extracranial, particularly when comingling vertebral artery dissection (VAD) is present because of their similar vascular luminal morphology. Physician should be vigilant about the possibility of a concomitant presence of RCVS and VAD, even in extracranial vessels.
Guillain–Barré syndrome associated with Helicobacter pylori infection in a male adolescent: A case report and literature review
Authors: Hu Shu-Wei , Fan Hueng-Chuen
Published: December 2022

Guillain–Barré syndrome (GBS) is a potentially life-threatening acute immune-mediated demyelinating peripheral neuropathy. It could be triggered by many pathogens, including Campylobacter jejuni, cytomegalovirus, Epstein–Barr virus, Helicobacter pylori, and influenza. A 14-year-old boy presented with GBS caused by H. pylori. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy showed chronic gastritis and a shallow gastric ulcer. He had right lower limb weakness and sensory loss, which were relieved after intravenous immunoglobulin (Ig) treatment. He was also prescribed triple therapy with lansoprazole, amoxicillin, and clarithromycin and achieved complete eradication of H. pylori. No recurrent neurological or gastrointestinal symptoms were observed. H. pylori secrete a protein called “vacuolating cytotoxin A (VacA),” and the cerebrospinal fluid level of a specific IgG antibody against VacA was found to be increased in patients with GBS. GBS should be included in the differential diagnosis list in patients presenting with neurological signs with concurrent H. pylori infection.
Role of Ayurveda in the Management of Hypothyroidism - A Case Report
Authors: Kapoor Alka (Babbar) , Raturi Shweta
Published: December 2022

Compromised daily habits such as more sugar intake, lack of exercise, stress, familial tendencies, etc., lead to various lifestyle diseases impacting the normal functioning of the human body systems. Hypothyroidism is one such disease that is caused due to inadequate production of thyroid hormones. The thyroid gland regulates the body's metabolism and growth. In Ayurveda, this is attributed to a function of Agni. Clinical symptoms of this disease closely resemble Agnimandya and symptoms precipitated consequentially. A 24-year-old female patient visited the hospital with complaints of irregular menstruation, heaviness all over the body, gradual weight gain, and constipation. After thorough examination and investigations, she was diagnosed with a case of hypothyroidism with increased thyroid-stimulating hormone levels. Her ultrasound findings also showed a polycystic
ovary
syndrome-like presentation with mildly enlarged bilateral ovaries with multiple small follicles and increased ovarian stroma. She was effectively treated with an Ayurvedic treatment approach for 5 months (five cycles).

Published: December 2022

Background:

Vaginal misoprostol is a highly effective method of cervical ripening and induction of labor; however, it is associated with some complications. Therefore, there is need to explore other routes of administration that may be safer, acceptable, and also effective.

Objective:

The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness and safety of vaginal versus sublingual misoprostol for cervical ripening and induction of labor.

Materials and Methods:

This was a randomized controlled trial conducted among booked antenatal women in Owerri, South-East Nigeria. The eligible participants were randomized to receive either 25 μg of misoprostol vaginally (n = 90) or 25 μg sublingually (n = 90). Outcome measures included delivery within 24 h, induction to delivery interval, cesarean section rate, side effects of misoprostol, Apgar Score at birth, and admission into the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.

Results:

There was no significant difference in the effectiveness and side effects of both routes of administration (p > 0.05). The results were comparable in both groups, except for the time to reach the active phase of labor (vaginal route 16.64 ± 9.12 vs. sublingual route 13.78 ± 7.47, P = 0.023) and the number of doses of misoprostol used (vaginal route 2.81 ± 1.53 vs. sublingual route 2.34 ± 1.49, P = 0.040).

Conclusion:

The effectiveness of cervical ripening and induction of labor is comparable in both groups and the side effect profile is also similar. Hence, the sublingual route is as effective and as safe as the vaginal route but with added advantage of shortening the duration of active phase of labor and requiring less doses for induction of labor.

Published: December 2022

Background:

The Ebola virus disease (EVD) outbreak of 2014–2016 in West Africa was the world’s deadliest to date, and the World Health Organization declared it an international health emergency. It adversely affected the health system with many healthcare workers (HCWs) being worried about going to work.

Objective:

This study therefore aimed at determining the willingness of HCWs to report to work in an outbreak of EVD.

Materials and Methods:

A semi-structured, self-administered, questionnaire-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 360 doctors, nurses, and medical laboratory workers in public and private health facilities in Enugu Metropolis.

Results:

Seventy-three percent (73%) of our respondents were willing to report to work during an outbreak of EVD. Nurses were about five times more likely to be willing to work than other categories of staff [odd ratio (OR) = 4.999; confidence interval (CI)= 2.15–11.597; P < 0.001] and female HCWs were about 1.3 times more likely to be willing to work than males during an EVD outbreak (OR =1.275; CI=0.743–2.815; P = 0.049). Availability of vaccination for healthcare staff (88.6%) and family members (79.2%) were the greatest personal and family-related motivating factors for willingness to work, whereas the provision of antiviral treatment for staff with unprotected exposure to an ill patient (78.1%) was the greatest work motivating factor. However, passion for work surpassed increased remuneration (61.4%) as a personal motivating factor for HCWs willingness to report to work during an EVD outbreak.

Conclusion:

Our study showed that HCWs were largely willing to work during an EVD outbreak. Personal vaccination for staff and family members and provision of antivirals were the major motivating factors.

Effectiveness of Different Concentrations of Dextrose Prolotherapy in Osteoarthritis Knee: A Double-Blind Randomised Comparative Study
Authors: Mishra Snigdha , Kumar Dileep , Gupta Anil Kumar , Mishra Sudhir Ramkishore , Yadav Ganesh , Jena Debasish
Published: December 2022

Background:

Intra-articular dextrose prolotherapy (DPT) is reported to improve the outcomes in the treatment of the osteoarthritis (OA) knee. Outcomes may be variable as per the concentration of the agent, scales for evaluation, patients’ perception and severity of the disease.

Methods:

This was a double-arm double-blind randomised prospective study. As per computer-generated randomisation, participants were divided into two Groups A and B and subjected to four intra-articular injections either of 12.5% or 25% dextrose, respectively, at 0, 3rd, 6th and 9th week. Outcomes are measured by two scales, i.e., Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) at all subsequent visits, 12th and 20th week, and knee injury osteoarthritis outcome score (KOOS) (five subscales) at baseline and 20th week (at 95% confidence interval, and P < 0.05 significant). A common exercise regimen was given to both groups.

Results:

A total of 78 patients were enrolled, out of which only 50 participants (25 in each group) completed the study. Both the treatment arms were age- and sex-matched with a female preponderance of 64% and males 36%. Following treatment, the VAS score of both the groups showed parallel improvement in the first three visits, but Group B was found to be statistically significant for 9th week (P = 0.024) onwards (P = 0.0071 at 12th and P = 0.013 at 20th week). The KOOS score also improved in both groups but the Group B had a superior effect compared with Group A in all the subscales (P < 0.05).

Conclusion:

Intra-articular DPT improves the symptomatic picture of patients with OA knee in a concentration-dependent manner. It also showed a dose–response relationship following serial injections on VAS. DPT is found to be cost-effective, safe and beneficial therapy for OA knee.

Authors: Pandey Sanjay Kumar , Biswas Anurug , Ghosh Srutarshi , Pandey Jyoti
Published: December 2022

X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy is an X-linked recessive disease affecting the white matter of the central nervous system along with occasional involvement of the adrenal gland due to mutation of the ABCD1 gene, which leads to accumulation of very-long-chain fatty acid (VLCFA) in the white matter of the brain and adrenal cortex. Diminished vision, speech disturbance, motor weakness, bladder–bowel involvement and adrenal insufficiency can be seen in affected individuals according to phenotype and involved area. In this case, the patient was a 17-year-old male with progressive weakness of all limbs along with the difficulty of speech and vision. Magnetic resonance imaging showed T2 hyperintensity in white matters of temporo-parieto-occipital region, splenium and body of corpus callosum, peritrigonal area, posterior limb of internal capsule and corticospinal tract location of pons and midbrain. His plasma VLCFA was elevated. Along with medical treatment, our rehabilitation team comprising a physiatrist and other supporting members provided rehabilitation management. Although different methods such as dietary modification, bone marrow transplantation and gene therapy have been tried for these types of cases globally, rehabilitation remains the backbone of the management protocol for advanced cases.

Published: December 2022

Background:

Serum interleukin 6 (IL-6) levels have been studied in the diagnostic evaluation of patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) disease (COVID-19).

Methods:

We studied the utility of treatment with tocilizumab in COVID-19 patients (n=19) with a negative nasopharyngeal swab real time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test for SARS-CoV-2 who had suggestive computed tomography (CT) findings, namely, COVID-19 Reporting and Data System (CO-RADS) 4,5.

Results:

Receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve analysis showed that serum IL 6 at a cut-off of >56.9 pg/L was a predictor of mortality in nasopharyngeal swab RT-PCR negative patients with suggestive CT findings. Tocilizumab had no significant effect on the mortality.

Conclusions:

In nasopharyngeal swab RT-PCR negative patients with suggestive chest CT findings, elevated serum IL-6 levels > 56.9 pg/L predicted mortality. However, treatment with tocilizumab had no effect on mortality.
The Value Added of Incorporating Qualitative Approaches into Malaria Surveillance, Monitoring, and Evaluation
Authors: Davis Lwendo , Prosnitz Debra , Ye Yazoume
Published: December 2022

Progress toward malaria elimination and improvements in the performance of national malaria control programs (NMCPs) have stalled in recent years. The current COVID-19 pandemic further threatens building on previous gains. Surveillance, monitoring, and evaluation (SME) are critical for the continued success of NMCPs because they provide the information necessary for effective program planning and management. Interventions aimed at strengthening NMCPs focus on both the target population and the program provider. Qualitative approaches are often used to understand the target population and barriers to intervention success. Although there is growing emphasis on qualitative approaches in provider-focused SME, metrics of success tend to focus on quantitative measures. The integration of qualitative approaches offers added value because they provide additional data points to facilitate the understanding of barriers that impede sustaining the gains made from provider-focused capacity-building efforts. Qualitative approaches focus on understanding program implementation and interventions, but the systematic integration of qualitative data is limited. Qualitative approaches provide avenues to strengthen SME efforts, can lead to subsequent improvement for NMCPs, and fuel progress toward malaria elimination.

Polish Attitudes to the Use of English and Other Languages in the Polish Public Space
Authors: Dąbrowska Marta
Published: December 2022

In the post-war era, Poland has been viewed as a homogeneous country both culturally and linguistically. It has not, however, remained immune to the developments of globalization, which has also been reflected in the linguistic developments of the present century. In recent years, the Polish public space has been inundated with numerous foreign language names, signs, slogans, elements in advertisements and on billboards, with the English language largely in the foreground, and not infrequently competing against Polish in such spheres as services and the advertising even of Polish brands. The present discussion focuses on the results of a survey distributed among Polish respondents which, with the help of indirect and direct methods, asked them to evaluate products/services advertised in visual forms by means of English and other languages, and react to the visibility of these languages both on the Polish street and in the Polish lifestyle magazines. The objective of the study was to identify the attitudes with which English and other languages are viewed by Polish respondents when used in the Polish public space, and to also assess their position in comparison with Polish. The survey results demonstrate that despite a significant number of positive judgements which the respondents offered on the topic, negative views outnumbered the positive to a considerable degree.
Ottoman-Turkish Loanwords in Egyptian and Syro-Lebanese-Palestinian Arabic – Part 4
Authors: Rocchi Luciano
Published: December 2022

Although the earliest Turkisms that entered Arabic go back to the 9th century – when the Arabs began establishing regular contact with speakers of Turkic languages – a significant number of Turkish loans in both written and spoken Arabic only date from the time of the Ottoman Empire, which in the course of its expansion conquered and for centuries ruled a large part of the Arab world. This paper aims to examine the words of Turkish origin found in the dialects spoken in Egypt and parts of the Middle East (Syria, Lebanon, Palestine), i.e. the Arabophone regions that have been most exposed to Turkish influence for historical and cultural reasons. It has also been endeavoured to provide information about the etymology of the Ottoman-Turkish words (interestingly, as some of these come from Arabic, the Egyptian, Syrian, etc. words borrowed actually prove to be backborrowings).
The Beginnings of Egyptian Science Fiction Literature
Authors: Michalak-Pikulska Barbara , Gadomski Sebastian
Published: December 2022

There has been a long debate about the origins of science fiction literature in Egypt. Scholars debate who was the first writer to include motifs of the genre, who made references to it and sought inspiration in it. It is commonly assumed that the beginnings of science fiction in Egypt date back to the late forties or early fifties of the last century, and Taufīq al-Ḥakīm and Yūsuf ‘Izz ad-Dīn ‘Īsàare mentioned as pioneers of the genre. But were they definitely the first writers who alluded to science fiction in their literary works? Did this literary genre in Egypt really appear in the 1940s or 1950s? Drawing on the latest studies, the authors of the article attempt to answer these questions and bring the beginnings of science fiction literature in Egypt closer to the fore. They also seek to highlight the importance of the first examples of SF literature in Egypt and their role in promoting the new literary genre in the country.
Sumienne oglądanie. Śmieszność i problem uznania w twórczości Tadeusza Różewicza
Authors: Mizerkiewicz Tomasz
Published: December 2022

The Conscientious Watching. The Ridiculousness and the Problem of Recognition in Tadeusz Różewicz’s Oeuvre

The article discusses the possibility of employing the definition of humour as “a conscientious watching”(proposed by Bolesław Prus) to encompass the “serious”lyric and the poetic “smiles”of Tadeusz Różewicz. The relation between the ridiculousness and the recognition in his oeuvre is analysed, whereas the “recognition”in literature is to be understood – according to Rita Felski – as a type of affected engagement, perceptive impressions and aesthetically mediated ties. In this context and in accordance with Felski’s suggestion, the methods of “reenacting”the struggles for recognition in Różewicz’s prose as well as poetry were discussed.
Poetyki negatywów. Tadeusz Różewicz wobec fotografii
Authors: Olszański Grzegorz
Published: December 2022

Poetics of the Negatives. Tadeusz Różewicz and the Photography

The article Poetics of the Negatives poses a question about the position of photography in creation of the writers’images. Exemplified in the most substantial part by the pictures of Tadeusz Różewicz, taken by a prominent artist photographer Adam Hawałej of Wrocław, published in his two books (Różewicz, Śmietnik [Garbage]), the article aims to reconstruct Różewicz’s attitudes towards the photographic medium. The author of Niepokój [Faces of Anxiety] initially appears as an artist protecting his privacy, at the same time negating the creative measure of photography (in favor of its documentary role). However, as time passed and possibly because of his friendship with several outstanding photographers (A. Hawałej, J. Olek and J. Stankiewicz), his view on photography tended to evolve while the artist himself became not only the subject of numerous exquisite works, but eventually the author of many. The article concludes with an interpretation of the photographic happening captured by Adam Hawałej and published in the book Śmietnik.
(Nie)obecny głos. W podwójnym archiwum Tadeusza Różewicza
Authors: Hejmej Andrzej
Published: December 2022

(Non-)present Voice. In the Double Archive of Tadeusz Różewicz The paper focuses on the interpretation mode of the literature, which includes both textual notation as well as its voice realization, and consequently allows to reveal the phenomenon of the double literature archive (writing and voicing). This well-known problem of writing and the voice (e.g. voice in literature, acousmatic voice, voice in the text) is considered in terms of scriptorality. The author’s attention is drawn to the volume of poetry by Tadeusz Różewicz, Wiersze przeczytane [Poems Read] (Wrocław 2014), and especially to the poem “Nowe porównania” [“New comparisons”], which is discussed from the perspective of the modern auditory experience and the consequences of being in the sound in the current reality are shown. The remarks on the presence/absence of the voice (sound) in the literary reading practice, in the situation of understanding literature as a phenomenon of writing and at the same time as a phenomenon of voice, ultimately lead to an attempt of revising traditional literary studies under the conditions of the media society.
Komparatystyka wobec rewolucji przemysłowej
Authors: Tomczok Paweł
Published: December 2022

Comparative Literature and Industrial Revolution

This paper presents research on some representations of industrial revolution in literature and in the visual art. The category of anthropocene allows for a deeper insight into environmental aspects of an issue usually looked at from the points of view of the history of technology, economics or civilization as well as consumerism. The analyzed texts of European culture make it possible to notice representations of industrial areas as European hearts of darkness, evoking geographically less remote versions of colonial exploitation. The author stresses the necessity to take into account the opposition between the Crystal Palace and its critics, and the space of industrial output, transcending this opposition. It keeps being a challenge for materialistic cultural criticism, aiming at taking into account the issues of the environment and moving away from a strict separation of nature and society, which is crucial to the modernity. Hence, an important part of this paper is a proposition to redefine the economical theory of value, in order to take into account the value of such objects as raw materials and the energy they contain. Such view of the comparative literature of the anthropocene demands acceptance for the category of the longue durée taken literary: the industrial revolution might have a history of 300 years, but it still lasts and is present in new places on Earth.

Edukacja, które ocala i tworzy: pozostał już tylko awangardowy konserwatyzm?
Authors: Kostkiewicz Janina
Published: December 2022

Ze stanu polskiej edukacji wynika, że w ostatnich dekadach zabrakło w niej wpływów pedagogiki, która ocala tradycję i tworzy drogi ewolucyjnego doskonalenia edukacji. Miała ona bowiem zbyt wielu wrogów wśród „zdetronizowanych” (pozornie) elit oficjalnie zamkniętego w 1989 roku systemu pedagogiki socjalistycznej. Po trzech dekadach miękkich gier politycznych i naukowych elity uniwersyteckie tej dyscypliny dokonały kolonizacji pedagogiki przez pedagogikę krytyczną (neomarksistowską). Skutkiem tego pedagog wiążący swoje prace z innym (prawicowym, powiązanym z religią katolicką) nurtem ideologii edukacyjnej doświadcza (w zależności od środowiska) różnych rodzajów marginalizacji, a nawet opresji: od pseudonaukowych argumentów po racje (ponownie!) „jedynie słusznej” ideologii edukacyjnej. W tej sytuacji pedagogom nurtu konserwatywnego pozostaje rola awangardy uprawiającej pedagogikę konserwatywną jako skrajnie niepopularną, twórczą i zarazem nowatorską; awangardy potrafiącej przy tym udźwignąć niechęć, pogardę i marginalizację akademickiej (neomarksistowskiej) większości, która w efekcie kolonizacji zdominowała struktury nauki oraz jej bliższe i dalsze konteksty. Wobec powyższego uprawnione staje się pytanie: czy pozostał nam już tylko konserwatyzm awangardowy?

Education that Saves and Creates: Is Only Avant-Garde Conservatism Left?

The state of Polish education shows that in the last decade it lacked the influence of pedagogy, which saves tradition and encourages the evolution of educational improvement. It has faced too many enemies among the elite of socialist pedagogy, which was (supposedly) dethroned after 1989. After three decades of soft political and scientific games, this academic elite successfully colonialized the field of pedagogy by means of (neo-Marxist) critical pedagogy. As a result of this pedagogue associated with another stream of educational ideology (e.g., rightwing, Catholic) experience various types of marginalization and even oppression (depending on the environment): from pseudoscientific arguments to the rationale (again!) of the ‘only right’ educational ideology. In this situation, conservative pedagogues are left in the role of the avant-garde; practicing conservative pedagogy that is extremely unpopular, creative, and at the same time innovative. This avant-garde can bear the weight of aversion, contempt, and the marginalization by the academic (neo-Marxist) majority, which as a result of colonization has come to dominate the structures of science and its closer and further contexts. In light of this situation, we are faced with the following question: are we left with only avant-garde conservatism?
Poglądy Pedagogiczne Zenona Grocholewskiego
Authors: Krzyżanowska Urszula Maja
Published: December 2022

Szkoły katolickie stanowią główną alternatywę dla państwowych jednostek edukacyjnych na całym świecie. Podlegają one nie tylko władzom państwa, w którym funkcjonują, ale również organom Watykanu. Zarządzający dykasterią odpowiedzialną za szkolnictwo katolickie prefekt ma zatem wpływ na edukację w skali globalnej. Wśród zarządców dykasterii po II Soborze Watykańskim wyróżnić należy postać polskiego kardynała Zenona Grocholewskiego, który przodował w osiągnięciach akademickich, dydaktycznych oraz pod względem ilości uwagi i wysiłku poświęconych kwestiom pedagogicznym. Artykuł ma na celu rekonstrukcję jego poglądów na edukację. Przedstawione zostają zapatrywania Zenona Grocholewskiego na wychowanie w ogóle, szkoły katolickie, szkolnictwo wyższe oraz formację duchownych, a także wyłonione dominujące w nich kategorie. Na koniec podjęto próbę oceny jego przekonań (również pod kątem ich zgodności z nauką Kościoła) oraz umiejscowienia ich w szerszym kontekście myśli pedagogicznej. Pedagogical Views of Zenon Grocholewski Catholic schools are the main alternative to state-run educational entities around the world. They are subject not only to the authorities of the country in which they operate but also to the authorities of the Vatican. The prefect who manages the dicastery responsible for catholic schooling therefore has influence over education on a global scale. Among dicastery administrators after the Second Vatican Council, we should mention the Polish Cardinal Zenon Grocholewski, who led the way in terms of academic achievements, teaching and the amount of attention and effort devoted to pedagogical issues. In the paper, Zenon Grocholewski’s views on education in general, Catholic schools, higher education and the formation of the clergy are presented and the dominant categories are identified. Finally, an attempt is made to evaluate his beliefs (including their compatibility with the teachings of the Church) and to place them in the broader context of pedagogical thought.

Authors: Chmielewski Witold
Published: December 2022

Halina Taborska, była rektor Polskiego Uniwersytetu na Obczyźnie w Londynie zdobyła wykształcenie polonistyczne i filozoficzne .Swoje zainteresowania, naukowe w rozważanym okresie skoncentrowała na estetyce angielskiej. Z zakresu tej problematyki napisała pracę doktorską pod kierunkiem prof. Władysława Tatarkiewicza. Publikowała artykuły, sprawozdania i recenzje na temat estetyki angielskiej i innych uczonych zachodnich na łamach takich czasopism, jak: British Journal of Aesthetics (organ The British Society of Aesthetics) , „Estetyka”, „Studia Estetyczne” i "Przegląd Humanistyczny”. W czasopiśmie angielskim zamieszczała publikacje związane z dorobkiem naukowym Władysława Tatarkiewicza, Romana Ingardena i innych przedstawicieli nauki polskiej. Rozwinięcie badań nad estetyką angielską i w ogóle zachodnią przybliżyło ten ważny nurt filozoficzny polskiemu środowisku naukowemu w okresie utrudnionego ze względów ideologicznych, do osiągnięć nauki po drugiej stronie żelaznej kurtyny. W przyszłości swoim zainteresowaniami naukowym zbliżyła się do pedagogiki kultury.

The Lublin-Warsaw Period in Halina Taborska’s Scientific Development and Her Interest in English Aesthetics

Halina Taborska, the former rector of the Polish University Abroad in London, studied Polish philology and philosophy, and focused her scientific interests on English aesthetics. She wrote her doctoral thesis on this subject under the supervision of Professor Władysław Tatarkiewicz. She published articles, reports, and reviews on English aesthetics and other Western scholars in such magazines as the “British Journal of Aesthetics” (an organ of the British Society of Aesthetics) , "Aesthetics", "Studia Estetyczne", and "Przegląd Humanistyczny". In English periodicals she published papers related to the scientific achievements of Władysław Tatarkiewicz, Roman Ingarden, and other representatives of Polish science. The development of research on English and Western aesthetics in general brought this important philosophical current closer to the Polish scientific community on the other side of the Iron Curtain in a period made difficult for ideological reasons. In the future, her scientific interests came closer to the pedagogy of culture.
Praca na własny rachunek w świetle Konstytucji Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej

Self-employment in the light of the Polish Constitution

The aim of the article is to indicate the legal basis for the protection of self-employed work in the Constitution of the Republic of Poland. The author discusses the subjective scope of workers’ rights guaranteed in the constitutional law and indicates the arguments justifying the thesis that it is not possible to define a “constitutional worker” on the basis of the provisions of the Polish Constitution. Attention has also been paid to limitations on the exercise of collective rights by the self-employed persons arising from ordinary laws. They raise doubts in the context of compliance with international standards, to which the Constitution of the Republic of Poland refers in Art. 59 § 4.
A arte marcial marginal: a relação entre militares e capoeiristas para a marcialização da capoeira
Authors: Batalha Ettore Schimid
Published: December 2022

O presente artigo visa explanar uma breve linha histórica da relação entre militares e capoeiristas, desde o primeiro relato oficial de sua utilização em conflitos, na guerra Cisplatina, até o período da Ditadura Militar, que consolida a tradução da capoeira como “a arte marcial brasileira”. Tal relação criou espaços de negociação, repressão, convergência e também inaugurou o processo transnacional da capoeira no século XX. A relação entre os capoeiristas e as instituições militares fornece uma chave de configuração histórica que aponta tanto para a participação dos agentes negros na construção de espaços de autonomia e cidadania, como para as mudanças institucionais que foram afetadas pela prática da capoeira.
قرائة في الدراسات القرآنية المعاصرة في تركيا
Authors: ÇİÇEK Mehmet Halil
Published: December 2022

إن دراسات القرآن في تركيا في العهد الجمهوري تختلف عما قبلها أسلوبا وخصيصة ومنهجا. وباعتبار انتشار ثانويات الأئمة والخطباء وانتشار كليات الإلهيات في مختلف أرجاء تركيا وازدياد البحوث الأكاديمية وتكثر الدراسات العلمية ازدادت البحوث العلمية في مجال القرآن وعلومه عامة ومجال التفسير خاصة. ولتلك الدراسات التركية ميزات تحددها وتعرفها وهي الأصالة في ما تتناوله تلك الدراسات بالبحث والتنقيب. فالدراسات الجارية في ساحة القرآن وعلومه والتفسير تتسم بالأصالة والتنقيب عن جديد أصيل. ومما تتميز به تلك الدراسات التركية التنوع. فهي تتنوع تنوع موضوعات القرآن إلى جانب ما تضاف إليها من علوم القرآن وتاريخ القرآن وتاريخ التفسير ومصادر التفسير ومناهج المفسرين ووجوه إعجاز القرآن وغيرها من الموضوعات. ومن سماتها التجددية أيضا، فالدراسات التركية تعتني بالموضوعات الجديدة التي ربما لم يسبق لها مثيل أو لم يهتم بها الاهتمام اللائق. ومن ميزاتها التأثر بالمناهج الغربية وخصيصا التأثر بأمثال أولئك المستشرقين الذين تناولوا موضوعات هامة في القرآن وعلومه والتفسير وتاريخه ومصادره. ومنها التعددية فالدراسات الجارية في ساحة القرآن إلى جانب تنوعها باعتبار المجالات التي تتناولها تتعدد أيضا فمثلا ربما ترى في مجال واحد وفي موضوع واحد عديدا من الأبحاث والمؤلفات. ومن الطرف الآخر هناك العديد من الأبحاث العلمية في تركيا المؤلفة بمختلف اللغات وعلى رأسها التركية ثم العربية والكردية وشيء قليل من الإنجليزية. وهناك ركن مهم في الدراسات الإسلامية\التفسيرية التركية وهي حصص المواد التي تدرس فيها فمادة التفسير تدرس في ساعتين أسبوعيا لسنة واحدة فقط من أربع سنوات في ثانوية الأئمة والخطباء -إن لم تتغير فيما بعد- وتبلغ حصص التفسير في مجموع الدراسات الجامعية على مستوى الليسانس ثمانية ساعات أو مايقاربها في ثمانية فصول.
ON A RESULT CONCERNING ALGEBRAIC CURVES PASSING THROUGH $n$-INDEPENDENT NODES
Authors: Hakopian Hakop A.
Published: December 2022

Let a set of nodes $\mathcal X$ in the plane be $n$-independent, i.e. each node has a fundamental polynomial of degree $n.$ Assume that $\#\mathcal X=d(n,n-3)+3= (n+1)+n+\cdots+5+3.$ In this paper we prove that there are at most three linearly independent curves of degree less than or equal to $n-1$ that pass through all the nodes of $\mathcal X.$ We provide a characterization of the case when there are exactly three such curves. Namely, we prove that then the set $\mathcal X$ has a very special construction: either all its nodes belong to a curve of degree $n-2,$ or all its nodes but three belong to a (maximal) curve of degree $n-3.$ This result complements a result established recently by H. Kloyan, D. Voskanyan, and H. Hakopian. Note that the proofs of the two results are completely different.
The Term Funding Facility: Has It Encouraged Business Lending?
Authors:   Reserve Bank of Australia, Lai Sharon , Lane Kevin ,   Reserve Bank of Australia, Nunn Laura ,   Reserve Bank of Australia
Published: December 2022

The Reserve Bank of Australia's Term Funding Facility (TFF) was announced in March 2020 as part of a package of policy measures to support the Australian economy. It achieved a key objective of providing banks with three-year low-cost funding and was available for drawdown until 30 June 2021. This paper examines the effectiveness of the TFF in increasing the supply of credit to businesses, which was another one of the objectives of the program. Using bank-level data and a difference-in-differences approach, we find no statistically significant evidence that the TFF increased credit supply to businesses. However, our confidence intervals are wide and there are significant identification challenges involved in disentangling the effects of the TFF from the effects of pandemic-related disruptions and other policy interventions on credit supply and demand. Nonetheless, the TFF provided an assured source of funding at a time of considerable stress in the financial system and lowered banks' funding costs, and any effects on business lending via these channels may not be fully reflected in our results.
