COVID-19 Vaccines in Children
Authors: DeZure Chandani
Published: January 2023

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has transformed the world. It has highlighted health inequities, the lack of social safety nets, and the limitations of health care systems. But it has also paved the way for medical ingenuity and technological advances in the face of these extreme challenges. One such medical marvel is the COVID-19 vaccine. The ability to rapidly create and mass produce a safe and effective vaccine for both adults and children has been essential to minimizing the harm of COVID-19, reducing the burden on hospitals and ushering in some semblance of return to pre-COVID times. Although vaccine hesitancy and long-standing health inequities have limited the number of children who have received the COVID-19 vaccine, the recommended vaccines remain a vital tool in ensuring healthy growth and development of children.

Authors: Huang Yicong , Yu Kaidong , Huang Chao
Published: January 2023

Using textual analysis, this paper divides green finance into green initiatives and green business activities. The former discusses whether environmental initiatives shall be signed, while the latter explores whether various emerging green commodities and services are provided. This paper investigates the influence of corporate size, the degree of internationalization, profits and competitiveness on the engagement degree of green finance, according to data collected from 410 Chinese listed companies on the Shanghai Stock Exchange. The results show that corporate size exerts a positive influence on green initiatives, and that the degree of internationalization, profits and corporate competitiveness of an enterprise each have a significant effect on green business activities. In addition, profits have a negative influence on green business activities. This paper provides insights and suggestions for developing green business activities in China.
Double-quantized-based $ H_{\infty} $ tracking control of T-S fuzzy semi-Markovian jump systems with adaptive event-triggered
Authors: Lou Yuxin , Luo Mengzhuo , Cheng Jun , Wang Xin , Shi Kaibo
Published: January 2023

This paper investigates the issue of asynchronous $ H_{\infty} $ tracking control for nonlinear semi-Markovian jump systems (SMJSs) based on the T-S fuzzy model. Firstly, in order to improve the performance of network control systems (NCSs) and the efficiency of data transmission, this paper adopts a double quantization strategy which quantifies the input and output of the controllers. Secondly, for the purpose of reducing the burden of network communication, an adaptive event-triggered mechanism (AETM) is adopted. Thirdly, due to the influence of network-induce delay, the system mode information can not be transmitted to the controller synchronously, thus, a continuous-time hidden Markov model (HMM) is established to describe the asynchronous phenomenon between the system and the controller. Additionally, with the help of some improved Lyapunov-Krasovski (L-K) functions with fuzzy basis, some sufficient criteria are derived to co-guarantee the state stability and the $ H_{\infty} $ performance for the closed-loop tracking control system. Finally, a numerical example and a practical example are given to verify the effectiveness of designed mentality.

Published: January 2023

Information technologies allow using modern and timely effective analyses of EEG waves and the methods of data processing that allows effective usage of this method into pedagogically and psychologically oriented researches. Aim of this study was to develop and validate method of EEG signal spectral properties usage in the investigations of the process of cognition in the process of the perception of music by the choice of professional studies. 23 research participants took part in the research – the students of the University of Latvia, the division of participants "non-musician" and "musician". The EEG recording synchronized with the musical signal using the generated synchronization signal that given to one of the unipolar input channels of the EEG equipment. The research analyses the basic rhythm of EEG the changes of the maximum frequency and the wave frequency power in the processes connected with the perception and cognition of music for 15 seconds long intervals. During the time of listening to the chorus songs, the range frequency of the range rhythm of alpha and beta does not change to the musicians but during the time of listening to the instrumental music it increases but it was more vivid in the range of beta frequency. Non-musicians reacted differently - while listening to chorus songs and instrumental music the frequency of alfa waves of EEG increased, but the beta wave frequency decreased. EEG as a method of investigation is recommended for pedagogical research to evaluate the neurological functions in the cognitive processes.

Conceptual Statistical Assessment Using JSXGraph
Authors: Hooper Curtis , Jones Ian
Published: January 2023

Traditionally online assessments tend to focus on topics that require students to input algebraic and numeric responses. As such there is a paucity of questions that test students' knowledge of statistics, and what questions there are in our experience focus on computing specific values (mean, standard deviation, and so on). Through making use of a technology called JSXGraph that is supported within the STACK environment for online assessment of mathematical knowledge, we have developed statistics questions that aim to test conceptual knowledge. For example, by requiring students to adjust the bars in a graph in order to produce a dataset that has a required mean, median, mode and range. With careful design this approach enables open-ended questions that have more than one correct answer. In this paper we describe the questions we have designed, and report responses from a sample of students.
A Career Recommendation Method for College Students Based on Occupational Values
Authors: Wang Lei , Fu Yuanyuan , Zhang Yingchao
Published: January 2023

The numerous recruitment information and the information asymmetry between college majors and work posts make it difficult for college students to seize the job opportunities that conform to their occupational values, and the employment success rate is always at a low level. The effect of current college student career recommendation systems is usually unsatisfactory, and the existing systems haven’t fully considered the role of college students’ occupational values in instructing their employment. To fill in this research blank, this paper studied a career recommendation method for college students based on occupational values. At first, the paper proposed a collaborative filtering algorithm based on the features of collect students’ occupational values, introduced a few features that can affect their occupational values, assigned weight values to these features, and gave the method for determining the weight. Then, based on the principle of the Kruskal’s algorithm (the minimum spanning forest), this paper modified the K-Means algorithm and clustered the features of occupational values. At last, the paper elaborated in detail the principle of generating career recommendation results for college students based on occupational values, and used experimental results to verify the correctness of the proposed career recommendation algorithm.

Suicídio: a dor dos sobreviventes enlutados
Authors: Oss-Emer Soares Alpe Adriane Cristine , Weyne Cruz Claudia
Published: January 2023

Suicídio, ato de violência autoprovocada conscientemente desejado e executado pelo sujeito com a intenção de morte, o qual gera repercussões importantes no contexto familiar e social. Nesse aspecto, o presente estudo pretendeu compreender essas reverberações nos familiares sobreviventes enlutados. Utilizando-se de uma metodologia qualitativa, por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas, buscou-se dar voz a onze pessoas impactadas por um suicídio, sendo que, para isso, foram resguardados todos os preceitos éticos. O método de análise de conteúdo proposto por Bardin (1977) estruturou a organização de duas categorias: “O Inominável" e “A Culpa”. O referencial teórico abrangeu a compreensão das especificidades dos processos de luto por suicídio, ancorados pela abordagem teórica de orientação psicanalítica. Como principais resultados, ressalta-se que, em decorrência do trauma psíquico dessa perda, ocorre a interdição da palavra (suicídio) que carrega toda a dor que é impossível de nomear. Bem como, sentimentos de culpa avassaladores que envolvem os enlutados em buscas por respostas das possíveis motivações e de sua responsabilidade pelo ato suicida. Portanto, ressalta-se a importância de novos estudos, para embasar cuidados especializados aos sobreviventes enlutados, além de estratégias de posvenção, auxiliando-os, assim, a enfrentar a dor devastadora do suicídio e suas repercussões.
Octahedral Molecular Sieve Manganese Oxide: Feasible Material for Hg(II) Remediation
Authors: Tran Thuy Tuyet Mai , Nguyen Dung Van
Published: January 2023

Manganese-oxide material prepared by simple sol-gel method was used as an adsorbent of Hg(II) in aqueous solution. X-ray diffraction pattern and Raman spectroscopy were conducted to prove the cryptomelane crystal. The Hg(II) adsorption behavior of the synthesized material well obeyed kinetic models of pseudo-second-order and Elovich equations indicating a chemisorption from the collected kinetic parameters. 500 mgHg2+/gcryptomelane of equilibrium uptake capacity from pseudo-second-order and 7.87x103 mgHg2+/gcryptomelane/day of initial adsorption rate from the Elovich model were obtained for adsorption of Hg2+ cation over cryptomelane adsorbent. Desorption constant of 0.018 gcryptomelane/mgHg is a significant small value, in comparison to initial adsorption rate, proposing a possible chemisorption for remediation of Hg(II) on cryptomelane structure.

Authors: Zulkania Ariany , Fitriani Gita , Irawati Irawati
Published: January 2023

The use of biomass as an alternative fuel to reduce the use of fossil fuels continues to increase, one of which is palm kernel shell (PKS) waste. This study investigated the pyrolysis reactivity of biomass samples (PKS) through thermogravimetric analysis. In addition, the pyrolysis mechanism is approached through the activation energy determined from the model used. This study utilized palm kernel shells as biomass with the addition of iron ore as a catalyst. The TGA test was carried out with variations in the catalyst composition (0, 10, and 15% of total mass) and heating rates (5, 10, and 15 °C/min) of the pyrolysis process. The kinetic parameter, E, was estimated using the independent model method, namely FWO (Flynn Wall Ozawa) and KAS (Kissinger Akahira Sunose). The study showed that the concentration effect on the conversion rate was almost the same for all concentrations in heating rate of 10 °C/men. The heating rate of 15 °C/min provided the highest conversion rate compared to the other two heating rates. Furthermore, the activation energy values fluctuated in the kinetic analysis using the FWO and KAS methods. Besides, the best fit is obtained from the conversion of 0.2-04 and 0.8-0.9.

Authors: Park Ji Min , Kim Jeongseok , Lee Yoo Jin , Bae Sung Uk , Lee Hye Won
Published: January 2023

Fibrosis is characterized by a proliferation of fibroblasts and excessive extracellular matrix following chronic inflammation, and this replacement of organ tissue with fibrotic tissue causes a loss of function. Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract, and intestinal fibrosis is common in IBD patients, resulting in several complications that require surgery, such as a stricture or penetration. This review describes the pathogenesis and various factors involved in intestinal fibrosis in IBD, including cytokines, growth factors, epithelial-mesenchymal and endothelial-mesenchymal transitions, and gut microbiota. Furthermore, histopathologic findings and scoring systems used for stenosis in IBD are discussed, and differences in the fibrosis patterns of ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease are compared. Biomarkers and therapeutic agents targeting intestinal fibrosis are briefly mentioned at the end.

Las audiencias ante los cambios en el ciberperiodismo
Authors: Caminos Marcel José María , Marín-Murillo Flora , Armentia-Vizuete José Ignacio
Published: January 2023

Los cibermedios han sufrido en los últimos años una serie de cambios, en el camino hacia la adquisición de unas características propias y diferenciadas respecto a los medios impresos. Esta evolución ha tenido su reflejo en las audiencias. Internet ha dejado de ser un producto elitista para estar al alcance de la gran mayoría. La forma de medir dichas audiencias constituye una de las cuestiones pendientes para los cibermedios, al contrario de lo que ocurre en los otros tres grandes soportes informativos: prensa, radio y televisión, en los que existen mediciones de referencia para cada uno. En Internet nos encontramos con una gran disparidad entre los datos y métodos de medición de organismos y empresas como EGM, OJD, Alexa y otros, tal y como se expone en este artículo. Este texto está basado en una investigación sobre la evolución del ciberperiodismo en España, financiada por la Universidad del País Vasco.
Del impacto mediático al olvido: la pérdida de interés noticioso como indicador de la deshumanización de los medios
Authors: Larrondo Ureta Ainara
Published: January 2023

La era de la globalidad y celeridad informativa en la que viven inmersos los medios de comunicación convierte a los conflictos, catástrofes y todo tipo de crisis humanitarias en “olvidos” para la opinión pública, una vez han alcanzado su cima de máxima noticiabilidad. Evitar este ostracismo mediático parece una buena fórmula para que el periodismo recupere su función social. Con todo, no es fácil encontrar una respuesta satisfactoria al eterno interrogante de por qué estos temas reciben un tratamiento intensivo y circunstancial -con incidencia en sus aspectos catastróficos y humanos- para desaparecer de los titulares y volver a asomar cuando los desequilibrios políticos y económicos de los lugares afectados atraen la atención de las agendas. Estas consideraciones nos llevan a preguntarnos sobre el papel del Periodismo y la oportunidad que encuentra para recuperar muchos de sus fundamentos primigenios. Así pues, desde un acercamiento global al papel social de la prensa, este artículo propone una reflexión sobre los cambios experimentados por el tratamiento informativo de determinados hechos imprevistos, catastróficos y de efectos humanitarios que generan gran impacto e interés en la opinión pública. Para ello, partimos del seguimiento informativo en prensa diaria escrita suscitado por uno de los acontecimientos más caóticos de los últimos tiempos como ha sido el maremoto que asoló el sudeste asiático a finales de 2004. Se pretende que este suceso nos sirva para reflexionar sobre una práctica informativa que se repite con demasiada frecuencia. Así, su elección se justifica tanto por su excepcionalidad, como por el hecho de que, transcurrido más de un año, haya perdido su vigencia en los medios. En cualquier caso, podría ser considerado un acontecimiento de gran actualidad, porque actuales son sus consecuencias, en forma de catástrofes individuales y a pequeña escala no menos desastrosas.

A machine learning assisted optical multistage interconnection network: Performance analysis and hardware demonstration
Authors: Rengachary Gopalan Sangeetha , Chandran Hemanth , Vijayan Nithin , Yadav Vikas , Mishra Shivam
Published: January 2023

Integration of the machine learning (ML) technique in all‐optical networks can enhance the effectiveness of resource utilization, quality of service assurances, and scalability in optical networks. All‐optical multistage interconnection networks (MINs) are implicitly designed to withstand the increasing high‐volume traffic demands at data centers. However, the contention resolution mechanism in MINs becomes a bottleneck in handling such data traffic. In this paper, a select list of ML algorithms replaces the traditional electronic signal processing methods used to resolve contention in MIN. The suitability of these algorithms in improving the performance of the entire network is assessed in terms of injection rate, average latency, and latency distribution. Our findings showed that the ML module is recommended for improving the performance of the network. The improved performance and traffic grooming capabilities of the module are also validated by using a hardware testbed.
Plotinus and Wang Yangming on the Structures of Consciousness and Reality
Authors: Bartosch David
Published: January 2023

In this paper, particular key aspects of the philosophies of Plotinus and Wang Yangming have been analysed comparatively on the basis of important passages of their works. The method used for this investigation can be defined as that of transversal comparative induction, in which the focus is more on working out the details of affinities and similarities. As this means a first step in an encompassing systematic context, differences will be introduced more briefly. The present investigation aims to provide a foundation for a more differentiating and therefore complementing second part, which will consider other contents and topics in both philosophies. The present analysis is performed in three systematic steps and with regard to three basic philosophical ideas: (1) the idea that human consciousness is a central medium in the universal process and interrelatedness of (biological) life as a whole; (2) the idea that the self-unfoldment of reality represents a meta-cognitive process beyond the limits of subjectivity and finite consciousness; and (3) the idea that it is our major task to perfect and know ourselves by means of a “return” to the highest underlying foundation of this universal process. In their own ways, Plotinus and Wang Yangming both show that by enfolding human reflexivity toward the ineffable source of all reality in thought, feeling, human activity, and natural processes, namely by actively pursuing the path of moral and intellective perfection, we become fulfilled mediators of a universal process and of that which all of it represents.

Euthanasia – characteristics of legal aspects in Poland and selected European countries

This article presents the characteristics of the legal aspects of euthanasia in Poland and in selected European countries. The key element of the considerations is the presentation of the legal regulation of euthanasia in Poland against the background – often detailed and precise solutions adopted in the European countries (specially EU), which define the legal conditions for carrying out this type of “medical services”. These solutions are presented from the point of view of the legal conditions for ensuring the legality of treatments falling within the concept of “euthanasia”, which in European legislation are most often classified as “assisted suicide” treatments and are associated with the provisions of the so-called “living wills”. The authors intended the article to be part of the discussion on potential changes in Polish legislation.

Analysis of the hierarchy of motivational factors in the work of nurses

Introduction: Employees incentive scheme is one of the main components of human resource management in any modern organization. A properly functioning incentive system enabling an effective motivation process allows to utilize the potential and commitment of employees, which directly affects the efficient functioning of a given facility. The aim of the study was to establish the hierarchy of motivational factors and the relationships that exist between them in the group of nurses working in one of the network of healthcare centers in the city of Kraków.

Materials and methods: The survey was conducted among 79 nurses working in several healthcare centers. The study uses the method of a diagnostic survey with the use of a research technique in the form of a questionnaire. The questionnaire contained demographics questions and the “Self assesment scale of work motivators” by Stefan Tokarski. Results: The study uses the terms “dominant motive” and “meaningless motive”.The research showed that the most numerous group of respondents chose “job security” as the dominant motive. At the lowest level in the hierarchy of respondents were “possibility of promotion” and “independence”. The research also uses the term “leading motive”, which was designated as the one with the highest score in the hierarchyof respondents’ motives, but not necessarily the dominant motive. Conclussions: Research has shown a relationship between seniority and the choice of the leading motive. Among the respondents, the group with work experience over 20 years showed significant leading motives. These included “job security”, “relationships with colleagues” and “earnings”. The remaining groups did not show any visible leading motives. The research also showed a relationship between education and the classification of motivators. The group with a master’s degree assessed the relations with their superiors significantly lower compared to other motivating factors.

Knowledge of adult inhabitants of Małopolska on nutritional fac tors in the development of color ectal cancer

Most cases of colorectal cancer are related to lifestyle, including eating habits. The aim of the study was to assess the level of knowledge of the inhabitants of the Małopolskie Voivodeship regarding specific food ingredients and nutritional behaviors that are important in the development of colorectal cancer depending on selected socio-demographic factors, as well as the assessment of the nutritional status of the respondents.

The study was conducted among 144 adults, residents of Krakow and the village of Gródek nad Dunajcem. The analyzes included responses from 126 people (89 women and 36 men). The diagnostic survey method was used, while the research tool was the original questionnaire. The first part of the survey concerned selected nutritional behaviors of the studied group, while the second part assessed the knowledge of nutritional risk factors for colorectal cancer. In addition, data on lifestyle, socio-economic data and participation in screening tests for the diagnosis of the lower gastrointestinal tract in the year preceding the study were collected.

In the adopted assessment scale, the level of knowledge of the respondents differed significantly, taking into account the place of residence (p = 0.0363), where 41% of Krakow’s residents found it very good, while 43.8% of rural residents found it insufficient. People living in the city have almost three times greater chance of getting a higher level of knowledge than people living in the countryside. Also, the knowledge of the respondents who declared higher consumption of portions of fruit and vegetables was 2–3 times higher than those who consumed these products less frequently.

The level of knowledge on nutritional behaviors related to the development of colorectal cancer is insufficient among rural residents. People who demonstrate favorable nutritional behavior have greater knowledge about modifiable cancer risk factors.
Overview of the state of the Ukrainian healthcare system since the start of the war
Authors: Guschuk Igor , Oleksiuk Nataliia
Published: January 2023

This publication is an analogue of the report on the review of the state of the health care system of Ukraine since the beginning of the war. This report was presented as a part of an international event—a special meeting on the topic “War in Ukraine and public health,” organized on May 22, 2022 by ASPHER (Association of Schools of Public Health in the European Region). The speech not only indicated the terrible consequences and the humanitarian crisis due to military aggression by Russia, but also partially considered multiple issues: 1) state of sanitary and epidemic wellbeing of Ukrainian citizens and threats to the health of the population during the war; 2) needs which can be met by organizations such as ASPHER to strengthen human resources for Ukraine in the field of public health; 3) steps which must be taken in the shortest possible time to strengthen the restoration of the Ukrainian healthcare system and ensure the proper state of sanitary and epidemic well-being of the population.
ASPHER in the Ukraine war: An ethical mission
Authors: Lopes Henrique
Published: January 2023

Since the beginning of the Ukrainian War, ASPHER has been mobilized to provide its best contribution to the search for an immediate and long-term response. The reason for this strong mobilization is that the present war represents a risk of the greatest magnitude to European Health and, inherently, to Public Health in the countries covered by ASPHER.

Efforts have been made in providing scientific and technical advice related to Public Health to reinforce closer cooperation between Schools of Public Health, in particular between those in peripheral countries to the theatre of military operations, and theoretical training, given the near absence of an educational offer from Schools of Public Health (SPH) in this area of knowledge. A Public Health War Roadmap is also under construction.

This article is essentially the closing speech of the Gdansk Meeting promoted by ASPHER together with the local School of Public Health, which seeks to express ASPHER’s position on the war in Ukraine and what, in its opinion, should be done by the SPH.
Reflections on the Customary Laws of Benin Kingdom and Its Living Cultural Objects in the Discourse of Ownership and Restitution
Authors: Sogbesan Oluwatoyin , Laotan-Brown Tokie
Published: January 2023

The British punitive expedition of 1897 led to the theft and vandalization of the cultural heritage of the Benin kingdom. The plunder included more than 3,000 cultural objects made of bronzes, ivories, beads, and other objects, which were produced since the 1st century AD to commemorate historical moments, political transitions, and ritual purposes. This theft dishonoured the spiritual and ritual significance of these living cultural objects, and has turned them into museum artefacts. As international debates on restitution and the return of Benin Bronzes intensify, two pertinent questions which arise are: Who will be the custodians of the returned artefacts?; and How will they be conserved? In this article, we address these two questions through the lens of Benin customary laws and practices. We argue that within this local jurisprudence, the Emwin Arre– the living cultural heritage described above –belong to the Oba of Benin and should be returned to the royal Palace, where they will be preserved, protected, and shared with the present and future generations.
Beyond “To Return or Not To Return” – The Benin Bronzes as a Game Changer?
Authors: Stahn Carsten
Published: January 2023

“These works notably stand among the highest heights of European casting”. This is what Felix von Luschan, the curator of the ethnographic museum in Berlin, wrote in 1919 in his book on the Benin objects. Their looting in 1897 foreshadowed a scramble for cultural colonial objects in the heydays of colonial collecting. Today, they stand at the forefront of discussions on return, including new forms of consent, ownership, or re-appropriation. They constitute a special case and have triggered a novel race for returns. This contribution traces some of the violence and colonial stereotypes underpinning their taking, different perceptions of the objects, and contemporary ethical and legal frames for their return. It argues that the contemporary debate over the Benin Bronzes reflects certain changes in the attitude towards return in general; changes which are grounded in the interplay between justice, ethics, and human rights. It challenges the argument that takings were acceptable according to the standards of the time. At the same time it cautions that the current movement towards return should not turn into a cosmetic ritual of self-purification, which detracts from necessary reforms at the macro level.

W tekście opisano podstawowe problemy dotyczące Saharyjczyków i Saharyjek ubiegających sięo hiszpańskie obywatelstwo, a także trwający proces postkolonialnej rewindykacji obywatelstwa hiszpańskiego dla całej społeczności – zarówno na podstawie dopisania Saharyjczyków do art 22.1 Hiszpańskiego Kodeksu Cywilnego (uznającego więźhistorycznąi skracającego czas zamieszkania w Hiszpanii, wymagany do ubiegania sięo obywatelstwo), jak i poprzez postulowane przez społecznośćsaharyjskąuznanie hiszpańskiego obywatelstwa osób zamieszkujących na terenie Sahary Zachodniej przed 1976 rokiem oraz ich potomków. Acquiring citizenship or reclaiming the right to it? The postcolonial regaining of Spanish citizenship by Sahrawis in Spain Sahrawis migrating to Spain from the refugee camps in Tindouf (Algeria) are trapped in a legislative matrix of regulations and their changing interpretations. Their legal situation results both from the previous colonial ties between Western Sahara and Spain and from Spain’s contemporary migration policy. The text will describe the main problems of Sahrawis applying for Spanish citizenship, as well as the ongoing process of post-colonial revival of Spanish citizenship for the community as a whole –both based on the addition of Sahrawis to Article 22.1 of the Spanish Civil Code (recognising historical ties and reducing the time of residence in Spain required to apply for citizenship), and through the Sahrawi community’s advocacy of recognition of Spanish citizenship for those living in the Spanish Western Sahara before 1976 and their descendants.
Organizacje religijne w dekanatach kolskim, konińskim, tuliszkowskim i tureckim w II RP
Authors: Matuszkiewicz Gabriela
Published: January 2023

W okresie zaborów władze uniemożliwiały lub w znacznym stopniu ograniczały możliwości stowarzyszania się zarówno w ramach organizacji o celach społecznych, jak i religijnych. Z jednej strony była to forma restrykcji po Powstaniu Styczniowym, z drugiej – chęć nieograniczonego kontrolowania form i jakości życia społecznego. Niewątpliwie sytuacja ta spowodowała, że po odzyskaniu przez Polskę niepodległości życie organizacyjne prawdziwie rozkwitło, zadziwiając współczesnych badaczy swoją różnorodnością i bogactwem. Również Kościół Katolicki stał się inicjatorem i współtwórcą wielu organizacji i stowarzyszeń. Zarówno hierarchia, jak i wierni dostrzegali w budowanych przez siebie organizacjach wielkie możliwości, żeby wymienić choćby: unowocześnienie pracy apostolskiej, podniesienie duchowe wiernych, czy wreszcie – możliwość zaspokojenia podstawowych potrzeb życiowych. Wszystkie te nadzieje, aspiracje i działania możemy zaobserwować w mikroskali na przykładzie czterech dekanatów: kolskiego, konińskiego, tureckiego i tuliszkowskiego. Szczególną uwagę skierowano na Akcję Katolicką, która w tamtym okresie była sztandarowym projektem centralnej organizacji katolickiej realizowanym przez Episkopat Polski.

RELIGIOUS ORGANIZATIONS IN THE DEANERIES OF KONIN, KOŁO, TULISZKÓW AND TUREK IN THE SECOND RP

During the period of annexation, the authorities prevented or substantially restricted the possibility of association both in the organisation of social and religious purposes. On the one hand, it was a form of restrictions after the January uprising, on the other hand, it was a desire to unlimited control of the forms and the quality of social life. No doubt this situation meant that after regaining the independence by Poland organizational life truly blossomed astonishing famous contemporary researchers with its diversity and richness. Also the catholic church became the initiator and co-creator of many organizations and associations. Both the hierarchy and the faithful realized that there were great opportunities connected with these organisations, even to name: the modernisation of the apostolic work, raising the people‘s spirit, and finally the ability to satisfy the basic necessities of life. All of these hopes, aspirations and activities can be seen, in a small way, in the example of four deaneries: Kolski, Turek and Tuliszków. Particular attention was put on the Catolic Action, which in those times was the leading project of the central catolic organizations realized by Polish episcopate.

Wydział do spraw Wyznań Urzędu Wojewódzkiego w Koninie i sytuacja Kościoła katolickiego w województwie konińskim w pierwszych latach po zniesieniu stanu wojennego w świetle materiałów Urzędu do spraw wyznań w Warszawie
Authors: Durka Jarosław
Published: January 2023

Artykuł prezentuje materiały archiwalne, dotyczące relacji państwo-Kościół katolicki w Polsce Ludowej. Przedstawiają one strukturę oraz działania władz przeciwko religii i system represji jaki stosowano w latach 80-tych. Z jednej strony chciano propagandowo wykorzystać zniesienie stanu wojennego, a z drugiej nie zmieniano wrogiego nastawienia do Kościoła i traktowano go jako najpoważniejszego wroga politycznego. W dokumentach widać ciągle aktualny, mimo zniesienia stanu wojennego, element konfrontacji z „Solidarnością”.
