Teologia starości. Wkład papieża Franciszka
Authors: Anderwald Andrzej
Published: December 2022

Obecny wzrost populacji osób starszych staje się nowym wyzwaniem dla teologii, w tym szczególnie antropologii teologicznej i teologii pastoralnej. Problem ten nie jest obcy aktualnemu nauczaniu papieskiemu. Świadczy o tym wyrażana przez papieży św. Jana Pawła II (1978–2005), Benedykta XVI (2005–2013) i Franciszka (2013–) troska o człowieka w podeszłym wieku w okolicznościowych przemówieniach, katechezach i homiliach. Zaangażowanie w promocję pozytywnej wizji starości i obronę godności osób starszych jest szczególnie obecne w nauczaniu papieża Franciszka. Celem artykułu była próba ukazania w świetle najnowszych rozważań papieża Franciszka o starości, z okazji ustanowienia 25 lipca 2021 roku Światowego Dnia Dziadków i Osób Starszych, jego wkładu w chrześcijańską teologię starości. W toku prowadzonych rozważań zostały kolejno przedstawione: współczesne formy wykluczenia osób starszych (1); potrzeba współpracy i solidarności między osobami starszymi i młodymi (2) oraz znaczenie pamięci osób starszych dla przyszłości człowieka (3).
Głosiciel i słuchacz Bożego słowa w kaznodziejskim nauczaniu Grzegorza Wielkiego
Authors: Wygralak Paweł
Published: December 2022

W artykule omówiono kaznodziejskie nauczanie Grzegorza Wielkiego na temat postaw i zadań głosiciela i słuchacza Bożego słowa. Zarówno bowiem od kapłana, głoszącego słowo, jak i wiernych, którzy słuchają słowa, zależy końcowy efekt. Tak więc głosiciel słowa powinien być świadkiem głoszonej prawdy, któremu zależy na zbawieniu powierzonych sobie wiernych. Nie powinien zajmować się niczym, co odciąga go od duszpasterstwa. W takim bowiem przypadku będzie jedynie najemnikiem, a nie pasterzem, który zna swoje owce. Nawet najbardziej gorliwa posługa słowa nie przyniesie owoców, jeżeli wierni nie będą przyjmować głoszonych prawd do swego serca. Sprawdzianem przyjętego słowa jest codzienne życie wiernych.
Zmiana paradygmatu misyjności w nauczaniu Soboru Watykańskiego II
Authors: Szyszka Tomasz
Published: December 2022

W historii dzieła misyjnego Kościoła, realizowanego nieprzerwanie od dwóch tysięcy lat, wiele razy pojawiały się kolejne paradygmaty misyjności, a w konsekwencji nowe metody misyjne oraz innowacyjne środki odziaływania misyjnego. Znajomość zakresu i znaczenia owych paradygmatów oraz metod pozwala dostrzec dynamiczność realizacji dzieła misyjnego Kościoła nie tylko w wymiarze geograficznym, ale nade wszystko zrozumieć wymiar kreatywnej operatywności Kościoła w odniesieniu do zmieniających się uwarunkowań społeczno-kulturowych, czyli nowych wyzwań o charakterze misyjno-ewangelizacyjnym, z jakimi Kościół musi się zmierzyć w każdej epoce.
Wyzwania synodalne. Próba teologicznej oceny inspirowanej nauką bł. Honorata Koźmińskiego
Authors: Pędrak Anna
Published: December 2022

Temat artykułu wpisuje się w problematykę teologii współczesnej z ujęciem teologii świętych. W Kościele katolickim rozpoczął się XVI Synod Powszechny, który ma na celu odnowę duszpasterską, nawrócenie duchowe oraz rozeznanie wspólnotowe i apostolskie pewnych kierunków duszpasterskich. Kościół stoi przed zadaniem rozpoznania znaków czasu i zastosowania odpowiednich środków do znalezienia jak najlepszych rozwiązań dla współczesnego życia wierzących. Odnowa ta wymaga uruchomienia procesów konsultacji z całym Ludem Bożym, jak również czerpania z Tradycji i z doświadczeń chrześcijan. Artykuł czerpie inspiracje z dokumentów synodalnych, które są konfrontowane z nauczaniem bł. Honorata Koźmińskiego. Ten dziewiętnastowieczny zakonnik był swego rodzaju odnowicielem życia duchowego w swej epoce. Jego teologia była oparta na słowach Pisma Świętego i tekstach autorytetów Kościoła, które odnosił do ówczesnych wyzwań Kościoła. Także i dziś możemy czerpać mądrość z jego dzieł, ponieważ potrafił on doskonale odczytywać Ewangelię, interpretować ją w kluczu kairos i wprowadzać w życie duchowe i duszpasterskie Kościoła. Celem artykułu jest ukazanie wyzwań obecnego Synodu i jego tematyki, uwzględniając znaki czasu oraz próbę oceny teologicznej inspirowanej osobą bł. Honorata Koźmińskiego i jego ponadczasowym nauczaniem.
Synodalność w Kościele i dla Kościoła: między rzeczywistością eklezjalną a narzędziem jej reformy
Authors: Nawracała Tomasz
Published: December 2022

W kontekście postępu procesu synodalnego, który dokonuje się w całym Kościele, podnoszone są niepokojące głosy o możliwej zmianie dotychczasowej doktryny Kościoła. Zdaniem krytyków synodalności chodzi w niej wyłącznie o dostosowanie się do warunków świata bez odwoływania się do objawienia lub przez odcięcie się od niego. Wydaje się jednak, że w zamyśle papieża Franciszka istota synodalności sprowadza się do głębszego i realizowanego z większym zapałem działania misyjnego. Kościół pozostaje znakiem zbawienia dla wszystkich narodów, lecz musi wciąż poszukiwać narzędzi, dzięki którym Ewangelia o Chrystusie dotrze do ludzi i będzie ich pociągać do chrześcijańskiego życia. Celem niniejszego artykułu jest rozpatrzenie synodalności w kontekście natury Kościoła oraz wskazanie, co – według papieża – składa się na jej istotę. Pierwsza część artykułu analizuje Lumen gentium, zaś druga odwołuje się do nauczania Franciszka.
Natura i cel pokuty w irlandzkich księgach pokutnych z V i VI wieku
Authors: Kwiatkowski Dariusz
Published: December 2022

Artykuł ukazuje cel i naturę pokuty w najstarszych irlandzkich księgach pokutnych pochodzących z przełomu V i VI wieku. Na Wyspach Brytyjskich narodziła się nowa forma pokuty nazwanej potem „pokutą taryfikowaną”. W odróżnieniu od pokuty praktykowanej na kontynencie europejskim była ona powtarzalna. Penitencjały zawierające listę grzechów i praktyki pokutne, które trzeba było podjąć, by uzyskać rozgrzeszenie, ukazują również cel i naturę pokuty. Jej istotą było zerwanie z grzechem i nawrócenie serca. Początkiem nawrócenia było uznanie popełnionego grzechu, pokorne przyjęcie i wypełnienie pokuty. Nawrócenie przywracało jedność z Bogiem i wspólnotą kościelną. Wielkość pokuty za popełnione grzechy zależała od stanu, niekiedy majątku, osoby popełniającej grzech. Najsurowsze pokuty, w celu uzyskania przebaczenia grzechu, musieli odbywać duchowni, gdyż uważano ich za osoby będące najbliżej Boga i w związku z tym to oni powinni dawać autentyczne świadectwo wiary i miłości. Starożytne irlandzkie księgi pokutne nie znały grzechów nieodpuszczalnych. Jedynie odmowa przez człowieka podjęcia pokuty sprawiała, że nie mógł on uzyskać przebaczenia grzechów.
Przepowiadanie piekarskie świadectwem zaangażowania w rozwiązywanie problemów społecznych XXI wieku
Authors: Szewczyk Leszek
Published: December 2022

Piekary Śląskie najczęściej kojarzone są z sanktuarium Matki Bożej Piekarskiej – Matki Sprawiedliwości i Miłości Społecznej. Pielgrzymki stanowe mężczyzn i kobiet do Piekar Śląskich mają doniosłe pastoralne i kulturotwórcze znaczenie znacznie przekraczające granice Kościoła lokalnego. Podczas pielgrzymek bardzo mocno akcentowana jest tematyka społeczna. Przemówienia biskupa katowickiego oraz zaproszonych kaznodziejów nawiązują do aktualnych problemów społecznych i gospodarczych. Ich przesłanie stanowi przykład zaangażowania w rozwiązywanie problemów społecznych XXI wieku. Celem niniejszego opracowania jest odpowiedź na pytanie, w jaki sposób metropolici górnośląscy korzystają z prawa wydawania opinii „na temat wszystkiego, co dotyczy życia osób, ponieważ zadanie ewangelizacji pociąga za sobą i wymaga integralnej promocji każdego człowieka” (EG 182), jakie treści społeczne poruszają najczęściej. W celu odpowiedzi na to pytanie analizie poddanych zostanie jedenaście przemówień abpa Damiana Zimonia i dziewięć przemówień abpa Wiktora Skworca wygłoszonych podczas stanowych pielgrzymek mężczyzn i młodzieńców w latach 2001-2020.
Powrót do Pisma Świętego jako droga przezwyciężenia kryzysu kaznodziejstwa polskiego w pierwszej połowie XX wieku
Authors: Bucki Łukasz
Published: December 2022

Wiek XX, a szczególnie pierwsza jego połowa, to okres kryzysu kaznodziejstwa. Brak powodzenia ambony w tym czasie miał szerokie spektrum przyczyn. W artykule została zwrócona uwaga na rozluźnienie więzi zaistniałe pomiędzy głosicielami słowa Bożego a samym Pismem Świętym. Brak treści objawionej w przepowiadaniu kościelnym prowadził do strat w życiu duchowym wiernych. Teoretycy kaznodziejstwa omawianego okresu wskazywali na konieczność studium Pisma Świętego w celach ascetycznych i homiletycznych. Postulowali regularne czytanie i rozmyślanie słowa Bożego, co miało skutkować powodzeniem na ambonie. Wskazywali wzory kaznodziejów opierających swe nauczanie na kanwie Pisma Świętego. Niestety pomiędzy teorią przynaglającą do powrotu do najcenniejszego źródła – Biblii a praktyką kaznodziejską panował duży dysonans, co z pewnością nie przyczyniło się do zażegnania kryzysu, jakiego doświadczyła polska niwa kaznodziejska.
Recenzja książki Reginy Willi, Mutter – Gefährtin – Jüngerin. Maria im Spiegel patristischer und scholastischer Schriftauslegung, Verlag Friedrich Pustet, Regensburg 2021, ss. 368
Authors: Wojtczak Adam
Published: December 2022

Książka jest zbiorem sześciu studiów na temat teologicznego obrazu Maryi w świetle patrystycznej i scholastycznej wykładni Pisma Świętego. Przedwczesna śmierć autorki nie pozwoliła jej uczynić z nich spójnej całości. Jej współpracownicy, po naniesieniu drobnych poprawek redakcyjnych, postanowili przygotowany przez nią maszynopis opublikować (bez wstępu i zakończenia). Regina Willi wybrała z Biblii kilka perykop i motywów maryjnych (np. Mulier fortis, Mater Ecclesiae, Mater unitatis, Sedes sapientiae). Na ich przykładzie ukazuje jak Ojcowie Kościoła i pisarze średniowieczni je analizowali i interpretowali, aby odkryć ich sens alegoryczny. Pragnęli w ten sposób pogłębić rozumienie tajemnicy Maryi.
Субстантивированное местоимение «это» в русском языке и его китайский аналог
Authors: Zhou Haiyan
Published: December 2022

Омокомплекс «это» состоит из нескольких функциональных омонимов: форма среднего рода указательного местоимения «этот», субстантиват, частица и другие синкретичные формы. В данной работе ставится задача проанализировать семантико-функциональные особенности субстантивированного местоимения «это» в сопоставлении с китайским аналогом«这 zhe, чже». На основе примеров, отобранных в Национальном корпусе русского языка и в корпусе CCL при Центре китайской лингвистики Пекинского университета выявляются референциальные возможности субстантивированных местоимений «это» и «这 zhe, чже» в тексте, демонстрируются отличия субстантивированных местоимений от других функциональных омонимов, использованных в предложениях типов «Это + ИГ» и «这 zhe, чже + 是 shi, ши + NP». Семантическая обобщенность и функциональное разнообразие делают субстантивированное местоимение «это» и слово «这 zhe, чже» одним из приоритетных средств для поддержания связности и цельности текста, и эта особенность носит типологический характер.
New formulation of the Navier–Stokes equations for liquid flows
Authors: Giona Massimiliano , Procopio Giuseppe , Adrover Alessandra , Mauri Roberto
Published: December 2022

For isothermal liquid flows, the condition of incompressibility provides a useful simplification for describing their mechanical properties. Nevertheless, it overlooks acoustic effects, and it provides the unpleasant shortcoming of infinite propagation speed of velocity perturbations, no matter the type of constitutive equation for the shear stresses is adopted. In this paper, we provide a derivation of a new formulation of the Navier–Stokes equations for liquid flows that overcomes the above issues. The pressure looses its ancillary status of mere gauge variable (or equivalently Lagrange multiplier of the incompressibility condition) enforcing the solenoidal nature of the velocity field, and attains the proper physical meaning of hydrodynamic field variable characterized by its own spatiotemporal evolution. From the experimental evidence of sound attenuation, related to the occurrence of a non-vanishing bulk viscosity, the evolution equation for pressure in out-of-equilibrium conditions is derived without introducing any adjustable parameters. The connection between compressibility and memory effects in the propagation of internal stresses is established. Normal mode analysis and some preliminary simulations are also discussed.
Simulative analysis of 1 Tb/s all-optical half-adder using quantum dot semiconductor optical amplifiers
Authors: Dutta Siddhartha , Mukherjee Kousik , Roy Subhasish
Published: December 2022

All-optical half adder using quantum dot semiconductor optical amplifier is proposed and analyzed using numerical simulations for two different unsaturated gains. Cross gain modulation (XGM) and cross phase modulation (XPM) in Mach–Zehnder interferometer structure generate CARRY and SUM, respectively, of the half adder. The performance of the device is optimized with respect to input pump powers and effect of amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) noise is also investigated. We have found extinction ratio (ER) as high as 16.48 dB for SUM and 12.95 dB for CARRY which ensures efficient performance of the proposed half adder. The quality factor Q is also high (24.58 dB for SUM and 18.47 dB for CARRY). These confirm clear transmissions of the bits with low bit error rate (BER).
Leucine tolerance in children with MSUD is not correlated with plasma leucine levels at diagnosis
Authors: Kozanoğlu Tuğba , Balcı Mehmet Cihan , Karaca Meryem , Gökçay Gülden Fatma
Published: December 2022

Objectives

Maple syrup urine disease (MSUD) is an inborn metabolic disease. The nutritional treatment with restricted intake of branched chain amino acids and prevention of leucine toxicity are crucially important for a favorable outcome. The aim of this study is to analyze the relation of blood leucine levels at diagnosis with future leucine tolerances, to determine whether any prediction about the future leucine tolerances or plasma leucine levels is possible by evaluating blood leucine levels at diagnosis.

Methods

The study group consisted of 45 MSUD patients. Leucine levels at diagnosis were compared with age at diagnosis, leucine tolerances, maximum leucine levels/ages, and average blood leucine levels.

Results

The mean plasma leucine level at diagnosis was 2,355.47 ± 1,251.7 μmol/L (ref: 55–164 μmol/L). The median age at diagnosis was 17 days. Leucine tolerances per kg body weight declined until the age of 8 years and stabilized subsequently. The average age of maximum leucine level during follow-up was 3.14 ± 1.92 years, and the mean maximum lifetime plasma leucine level on follow-up was 1,452.13 ± 621.38 μmol/L. The leucine levels at diagnosis did not have any significant relationship with lifetime leucine tolerances, maximum plasma leucine levels or mean plasma leucine levels.

Conclusions

The plasma leucine levels at diagnosis did not have a predictive value for later leucine tolerances or plasma leucine levels. The maximum lifetime leucine level is likely to happen within the first 3 years of life, underlining the importance of good metabolic control and compliance to dietary treatment at early ages.
circRNA DENND1B inhibits tumorigenicity of clear cell renal cell carcinoma via miR-122-5p/TIMP2 axis
Authors: Chen Deqiang , Zhang Yanchun , Meng Liang , Lu Li , Meng Gaopei
Published: December 2022

Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is the most common type of renal cancers. However, circ_DENND1B has not been studied yet. GSE100186 dataset was used for the level analysis of circ_DENND1B. The quantitative real-time PCR was used to verify the expression of circ_DENND1B, microRNA-122-5p (miR-122-5p) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-2 (TIMP2) in ccRCC tissues and cells. Cell proliferation, migration, invasion and apoptosis were detected by colony formation assay, thymidine analog 5-ethynyl-2′-deoxyuridine assay, 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-y1)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide, transwell and flow cytometry. The binding of miR-122-5p to circ_DENND1B/TIMP2 was investigated by dual-luciferase reporter assay. Finally, the role of circ_DENND1B in ccRCC was detected by tumorigenesis experiment in mice. circ_DENND1B was downregulated in ccRCC and circ_DENND1B overexpression suppressed the malignant behaviors of ccRCC cells. circ_DENND1B acted as a sponge of miR-122-5p. miR-122-5p upregulation reversed the effects of circ_DENND1B on cell proliferation, migration, invasion and apoptosis. TIMP2 was a target of miR-122-5p. Overexpression of circ_DENND1B regulated TIMP2 level by inhibiting miR-122-5p expression in ccRCC cells. circ_DENND1B overexpression inhibited the tumor growth of ccRCC in vivo. circ_DENND1B inhibited ccRCC cell progression by promoting TIMP2 expression by sponging miR-122-5p, suggesting that circ_DENND1B might be an effective therapeutic target for ccRCC.
EphA3 targeted by miR-3666 contributes to melanoma malignancy via activating ERK1/2 and p38 MAPK pathways
Authors: Ming Di , Ma Jingjing
Published: December 2022

Melanoma is a rare, fatal type of skin tumor. Although EPH receptor A3 (EphA3) is deregulated in melanoma, its detailed role remained uncharacterized. Using real time quantitative PCR analysis and western blotting, EphA3 was identified to be upregulated in melanoma tissues and cells, while miR-3666 showed an opposite expression trend. Cell counting kit-8, scratch wound, and in vivo assays proved that EphA3 silence inhibited the melanoma cell proliferation and migration and retarded tumor growth in vivo. Furthermore, western blotting results displayed that EphA3 silence resulted in a low expression of p38-MAPK and p-ERK1/2. Mechanically, miR-3666 was proved to target EphA3 3′UTR by the luciferase reporter assay. Furthermore, miR-3666 mimic compromised the driven melanoma cell proliferation and migration by EphA3 overexpression. In addition, induction of ERK1/2 and p38 MAPK pathways offset the positive effect of EphA3 overexpression on melanoma cells. In conclusion, miR-3666 downregulated EphA3 expression and retarded melanoma malignancy via inactivating ERK1/2 and p38 MAPK pathways. Hence, miR-3666/EphA3 axis may represent a druggable target against melanoma progression.

Mechanisms of the improved stiffness of flexible polymers under impact loading
Authors: Chen Fengxiao , Fan Jitang , Hui David , Wang Chao , Yuan Fuping , Wu Xiaolei
Published: December 2022

The flexible polymers have an outstanding impact-resistant performance because of the improved stiffness upon a high speed loading. At the aspect of microstructure, the soft segments make an important contribution. In this article, molecular dynamics simulation is carried out to reveal the dynamic mechanical behavior of a mono helical soft segment. The tensile loadings at various strain rates are conducted. The stress–strain relations and strain rate dependencies of mechanical properties are derived. The evolution of potential energy with straining accompanied by the disentanglement of molecular chain is characterized. The characteristic molecular chain of dynamic mechanical response is determined. The intrinsic physical origins of straightening of characteristic molecular chain and bond angle expansion are explored. New parameters are defined to quantitatively analyze the micro mechanisms and their rate dependencies, which are linked to the dynamic mechanical properties. This work is full of interest to fill a knowledge gap of the physical origins of dynamic mechanical behavior of flexible polymers.

Teacher talk in primary school science: a focus on the exploration phase
Authors: Oats Megan , Exley Beryl
Published: December 2022

In this article, we narrow our investigation to the talk provided by one teacher in the exploration phase of a primary school science project. The exploration phase warrants attention given its role in providing students with a common base of science activities that draws on their prior knowledge. We examine lesson excerpts from a grant-winning primary years science teacher who sets up her Year 3 students to explore garden ecosystems. The study’s analytic framework is derived from Systemic Functional Linguistics and focuses on the way the teacher uses certain aspects of ideational, interpersonal and textual functions to mediate between the instructional and regulative discourses. Our findings show that the teacher orientated to the regulative discourse to provide students with access to an instructional discourse. Additionally, the teacher used a significant number of pronouns for signalling, and sequencing connectives that flowed on to a significant number of complex noun groups. We draw attention to the range of speech functions and comment on their role in school science lessons.
The Concept of German Bildung as a Realization of the Hero Archetype
Authors: Neuhaus Till , Vogt Michaela
Published: December 2022

This paper is trying to offer a perspective on why the German concept of Bildung was able to master transitions regarding time, geography, and disciplines. The argument of this paper is that Bildung is a transformative process which greatly resembles the archetypical pattern as identified by Carl Gustav and later refined by Joseph Campbell. In order to argue for this claim, this paper will provide an overview on the idea of the archetype and, in the following, identify aspects of Bildung which follow the archetypical pattern. The paper will focus on the history of the term as well as its origins but also on specific realization of learning processes as suggested by educational psychology as well as educational institutions.
Einweihungszeremonien als Übergangsriten in jüdischer Aufklärung und Reformbewegung. Drei Fallbeispiele
Authors: Lohmann Uta
Published: December 2022

The opening of the Jewish Wilhelm School in Breslau (Wroclaw) in 1791 was celebrated with a large public ceremony, which was attended not only by the newly admitted pupils, their parents and teachers, but also by high state officials and well-known scholars. Similar large-scale and publicly announced celebrations took place in 1810, when the first German Reform synagogue, the so-called Jacobs Temple, was solemnly inaugurated in Seesen. Two years before this event, the Westphalian Consistory of Israelites in Kassel had been opened also with a public celebration. Both institutions now held “confirmations,” which replaced the traditional bar mitzvah. The admission to the Wilhelm School in Breslau and the participation in the Reform services in Seesen and Kassel meant for the Jewish pupils and “confirmands” not only the transition into another phase of life. These entries also marked the transition from traditional Judaism to a Judaism of modernity. Accordingly, these newly created institutions were primarily concerned with forming entirely ‘new humans’. The Breslau School aimed at a balanced perfection of the intellect, emotions and morality of its pupils. Analogously, the worship services and confirmations in Seesen and Kassel were directed toward “thinking, feeling, and acting religiously”. Drawing on the descriptions of the opening ceremonies and the inauguration speeches in Breslau, Kassel and Seesen, the rites of transition, the terminology associated with the transition and the conceptual content of the envisaged new type of education and instruction are outlined.
A Woman in the Polish Model of Sex Education in the Stalinist and Post-Stalinist Period
Authors: Pauluk Dorota
Published: December 2022

After the Second World War, Poland imposed a socialist system and Marxist ideology. Communist propaganda proclaimed the slogans of emancipation and equality of women through work. This situation changed the relationship between the sexes and how roles were performed. Moral changes, a demographic explosion, high divorce and abortion rates were a serious scratch on the image of an ideal society for the communists. Sexual education was to counteract the negative trends. The article aims to show the image of a woman that emerges from the publication of sex education during the period of Stalinism and post-Stalinism. The compact publications recommended by the Society for Conscious Motherhood (1946–1962), supported by the communist authorities, were selected for the analysis. The female themes are a mixture of scientific knowledge and Marxist ideology. Sex education aimed to prepare responsible wives and mothers who would reconcile traditional roles with professional work. The knowledge of rational fertility management (contraception) was to ensure the fulfilment of the roles. With an emphasis on emancipation and equality, women were also held responsible for the quality of sex life, the welfare of marriage, family and socialist society. The argument for such an approach was to result from the natural differences between the sexes. The results of the analysis showed inconsistency and inconsistency in the emerging image of a woman and expectations regarding the performance of social roles.
Obraz člověka a výchovy v Esejích Michela de Montaigne
Authors: Strouhal Martin
Published: December 2022

The study deals with the question of the relationships among the conception of human nature, its cognition and education in Michel de Montaigne’s Essays. In the series of essays, Montaigne repeatedly rejects attempts to base his conception of human nature on antic- scholastic traditions operating with the general concepts of man. Montaigne’s specific Christian scepticism (“new pyrrhonism”) is the starting point and the argumentative method for rejecting the reliability of general concepts and definitions. Whereas scholastic (as well as predominantly entire ancient) philosophy assumed the existence of an ideal species to be the essence that determines each individual’s essential characteristics, Montaigne sees, on the contrary, man in the state of constant transformation, transition as crucial to understanding the human situation. This fundamentally transforms the traditional understanding of the relationship between a pattern and its imitation, into a relationship that has not only epistemological but also pedagogical and moral implications. Montaigne argues that subjectivity cannot be understood against the background of a general pattern, but only from itself, from ambiguities and paradoxes that, on the contrary, exclude, elude any generalization. Human nature cannot be captured in a general concept, it can only be exemplified from a specific experience. Thus, man is much more a transition (from one form to another) than a substance. The aim of this study is to show Michel de Montaigne as a modern and up-to-date thinker who, through his rhetoric and his way of grasping pedagogical issues, has opened up a number of educational questions that are relevant today: for example, how to understand the educational goal in a practical and informal way, how to work in education with the unique and the non-generalizable, and how to consider the relationship between knowledge and action.
STUDY OF YOUNG MOTORCYCLISTS’ RISK BEHAVIOURS TOWARDS ROAD ACCIDENTS IN KUANTAN
Authors: Siti Zun Nurain  , Mohd Razelan Intan Suhana
Published: December 2022

In Malaysia, the number of motorcycle-related traffic accidents has gradually climbed over time. Road traffic accidents are typically caused by a combination of individuals and environmental circumstances.Young motorcyclists had significantly over-represented number of deaths in motorcycle road accidents. Many aspects, such as inexperience, lack of riding competence, and risky riding behaviour, have been linked to road traffic crashes among young adults aged 16 to 19 years old. However, less study has been conducted to analyze these young motorcyclists (high school students) riding behaviour. Therefore, this review aims to identify secondary school student’s risk behaviours for road traffic accidents among motorcyclists in Kuantan with young motorcyclists being the main contributor to the road accidents. Most of the youngster use motorcycles as their daily mode of transportation. Methods: This study used a cross-sectional study design and a simple random sampling method. It was conducted among students in three different school in Kuantan area. This study used on-site behavioural observation survey which data observation forms are specifically designed to collect data on motorcyclists’ risk behaviours by using a video camera in the school area. Results: The findings proved that the male students had higher frequency number that contribute to break the speed limits behaviour compare to the female students. Subsequently, breaking the speed limit and riding without crash helmets, failing to keep proper side to side movement with another vehicle and tailgating with another vehicle with unsafe distance are the most influenced risk riding behaviour factors among the students. Apart from that, riding while impaired, performing stunting acts, riding against traffic and riding without headlights on & traffic violation are the behaviours that less contributed to the number of motorcycle accidents. Conclusion: Each risky riding behavior factor has a different effect on road safety among young mototcyclists, especially the students in urban areas. Other than that, the estimated number of crashes can be a reference to authority to reduce the number of accidents in Malaysia.

Abstract: The museum discipline can be considered a dynamic modern institution. This one, among other things, stems from the openness of this institution with the philosophy of post-colonialism. It is a modern humanitarian philosophy that challenges many flaws of past scientific theories. This study will use library research methods that will examine the influence of post-colonial philosophy in the field of museums. The results of this study found that there are three main things about the impact of post-colonial philosophy in the field of museums, namely the emergence of New Museum Awareness, the universal issue of museums and the issue of decolonization from the influence of colonial museums.
 
Abstrak: Disiplin muzium dapat dianggap sebagai institusi moden yang dinamik. Hal ini antara lainnya berpunca daripada keterbukaan institusi ini dengan falsafah pasca kolonialism. Ia adalah suatu falsafah kemanusiaan moden yang banyak mencabar kepincangan teori keilmuan silam. Kajian ini akan menggunakan kaedah penyelidikan perpustakaan yang bakal meneliti pengaruh falsafah pasca kolonialism dalam bidang muzium. Hasil kajian ini mendapati bahawa pengaruh falsafah pasca kolonialism dalam bidang muzium dapat dikesan dalam tiga perkara utama iaitu kemunculan Kesedaran Muzium Baru, isu universal muzium dan isu dekolonialisasi daripada pengaruh muzium kolonial.

Published: December 2022

Background: Aortic coarctation (CoAo) may be discovered only when complicated by acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD). We present a case with a one-stage repair of this pathologic association and review the relevant literature focusing on the surgical choices.
Case report: A 43-year-old man presented with acute thoracic pain. Computed tomography and echocardiography demonstrated CoAo, ATAAD type II, an ascending aorta aneurysm, and moderate regurgitation of a bicuspid aortic valve. Emergency surgery was performed. A clamshell incision, cardiopulmonary bypass with dual arterial cannulation (axillo-femoral), CoAo repair (by resection-interposition), and supracoronary aorta replacement were performed. Four years later, the patient was healthy and asymptomatic.
Review: Thirty surgical cases of ATAAD with CoAo repair after the dissection onset were included. Iatrogenic dissections and formerly repaired CoAo without surgical indication were excluded.
Results: The mean patient age was 27.8 ± 12 years; there was a male predominance (76.7%). The patients frequently presented with ascending aorta aneurysm (86.2%), bicuspid aortic valve (69%), and type II dissection (79.3%); dissection never extended below the CoAo. The one-stage treatment (15 patients; 55.5%) included 12 surgical repairs of CoAo (mostly by ascending-to-descending aorta extra-anatomic bypass; 58.3%) and three balloon angioplasties. In patients with uncorrected CoAo at the onset of cardiopulmonary bypass, double arterial perfusion was used in 55.5%.
Conclusions: One-stage repair (hybrid or surgical), double arterial perfusion, and extra-anatomic ascending-to-descending aorta bypass are the most common options for treating ATAAD-CoAo. The clamshell incision provides excellent access for an extended arch procedure and facilitates anatomic isthmus repair.

Los adenomas hipofisarios (AH) pueden afectar la función sexual (FS). El estudio (transversal y comparativo) evaluó la FS de pacientes con AH funcionantes y no funcionantes y determinó su relación con variables biopsicosociales. 66 pacientes completaron una entrevista semiestructurada y cuestionarios autoadministrados. La puntuación media de la FS superó el punto de corte y el 26% de mujeres y 38% de varones presentaron deterioro de la FS. El hipogonadismo, la percepción de dificultades sexuales y la ansiedad en las mujeres, y la edad en los hombres, se asociaron a disminución del puntaje total de FS (p˂0.05). Los pacientes con AH tuvieron un desempeño sexual moderado y vulnerabilidades en dominios sexuales específicos en mujeres y varones.

Published: December 2022

Esta investigación parte del proyecto internacional Cambios y eventos en el curso de la vida (CEVI), el cual indaga por la construcción de memoria autobiográfica y colectiva en personas de diferentes generaciones, realizado en diferentes países de América Latina y Europa. El objetivo de este trabajo fue analizar los aspectos involucrados en la construcción de la memoria colectiva colombiana desde una perspectiva transgeneracional. Para ello se recogieron 306 entrevistas en Bogotá́, partiendo de cuatro cohortes generacionales específicas: 17-27 años, 32-42 años, 47-57 años y 60 en adelante. Se realizaron análisis estadísticos descriptivos y se encontró que, en comparación con otros eventos, la construcción de memoria colectiva en el país ha sido impactada por hechos sociohistóricos relacionados con el conflicto armado, permeada al mismo tiempo por el efecto reminiscencia presente en los participantes, con diferencias según factores como el sexo y la generación a la que se pertenece.
Effects of dielectric barrier discharge plasma treatments on the performance of poplar plywood produced with UF resins of different molar ratios
Authors: Wang Hui , Duan Zhigang , Wang Feng , Wang Hongyan , Du Guanben
Published: December 2022

Poplar veneers were treated with dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma at atmospheric pressure, and the effects on the veneer surface feature were explored. The bonding strength of poplar plywood glued with different urea-formaldehyde resins of varying molar ratios was also investigated. The wettability and resin penetration of the veneer treated with DBD plasma were dramatically improved, especially for the UF resin with a higher formaldehyde to urea (F/U) molar ratio. The apparent contact angle of the veneer-treated plywood decreased and the resin penetration content increased as well. The bonding strength of the plywood increased in different degrees, and the wet bonding strength in particular sharply increased; when the F/U molar ratio was 1.3, the strength was improved by 138.2%. However, when the F/U molar ratio increased, the wet bonding strength improvement declined. The veneer surface image before and after the DBD treatment was invested via scanning electron microscopy, the surface was rougher and looser, which was beneficial for resin penetration. These all indicated that the balance between the characteristics of the resin and the penetration of the veneer surface is critical for an improvement in the bonding strength of plywood.

This study examined the effect of high temperature and Litsea cubeba oil with its main components against molds (Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus flavus, Penicillium sp., Penicillium cyclopium, Rhizopus sp., Fusarium sp., and Cladosporium sp.) on bamboo food packaging. Response surface methodology (RSM) with X1 (concentration of L. cubeba oil at 100, 300, and 500 mg g-1), X2 (temperature at 60, 80, and 100 °C), and X3 (time at 12, 14, and 16 h) was used to find the inhibitory periods of natural mold on packaging plates. The physical properties and the change of chemical components on the bamboo packaging plate before and after temperature treatment were determined to find the mode of action using gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS). High temperature (at 100 °C) was a good inhibitor of all mold growth with the MIC (minimum inhibitory concentration) of 300 mg g-1; without heat treatment, no MIC was found. In addition, it was found that by using 300 mg g-1 of L. cubeba oil at 100 °C with an exposure time of 12 h, spore germination on the bamboo surfaces was completely inhibited for at least 290 days. After using high temperature, citral was detected on the surface of the packaging plates. Therefore, these components could be the key factors for inhibiting molds.

The purpose of this study was to determine how resin, a side compound of wood, and resin cleaning methods affect the adhesion strength of water-based varnishes. For this purpose, scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.), black pine (Pinus nigra subsp.), larch (Larix decidua Mill.), and spruce (Picea abies (L.) H. Karst.), woods with different amounts of resin in their anatomical structure were examined. Physical and chemical resin cleaning procedures were applied to the samples using acetone, cellulosic (lacquer) thinner, sodium hydroxide (NaOH), sodium hydroxide + hydrogen peroxide (NaOH + H2O2), and soft soap chemicals. Later, single-component and double-component water-based varnishes were applied to these sample surfaces. The samples were then subjected to a hot and cold-check test in accordance with the principles set forth in ASTM D 1211 (1997). In the examples, the changes in adhesion strength were examined according to TS EN ISO 4624. According to the results, resin cleaning chemicals and methods reduce the adhesion strength of water-based varnishes.
Environmental applications of immobilized and bio-resourced redox mediators: A Review
Authors: Guo Wenrui , Huang Jingang
Published: December 2022

Redox mediators (RMs), also known as electron shuttles, have been widely reported to promote both biotic and abiotic reductions of oxidized pollutants in water, soil, biogeochemical cycles, and wastewater treatment systems. However, the continuous addition of dissolved RMs is unaffordable and the potential environmental risks remain unknown because most applied RMs are synthetic chemicals. Immobilization technology enables RMs to be attached on non-dissolved supports, avoiding wash-out from the treatment systems. This realizes the reuse of RMs in scaled-up engineering applications and the in-situ remediation. Moreover, renewable natural biomass and their derivatives, such as biochar, have also aroused increased interest because they provide an economical and feasible way to solve the shortcomings of applying soluble RMs. This review presents different RM immobilization methods, which include entrapment, adsorption, and surface modification, as well as the use of bio-resourced RMs. The immobilization procedures and reaction mechanisms of the immobilized RMs and bio-resourced RMs in environmental applications are critically compared and summarized.
Ukraine – European Union: a New Phase of Relations in the Context of the 2014 – 2022 Russia – Ukraine War
Authors:   the Institute of History of Ukraine, the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Vidnyanskyj Stepan
Published: December 2022

Against the backdrop of Russian aggression against Ukraine and its global consequences, the paper analyses the evolution of relations between Ukraine and the European Union throughout 2014-2022 and the prospects for Ukraine's European integration. It highlights the peculiarities of the formation of Ukraine's European policy as a strategic direction of foreign policy and a factor of its decisive civilizational choice. The main stages and problems in the implementation of Ukraine's European choice are analysed. The focus is on investigating key events and phenomena in the relationship between Ukraine and the European Union at a fundamentally new stage, from the signing of the Association Agreement in 2014 to granting Ukraine the status of a candidate for EU membership in 2022. It analyses the attitudes of individual European Union member states towards Ukraine's European integration prospects, the impact of the Russian-Ukrainian war on the positive change in the EU and its member states' attitude towards Ukraine and its European aspirations, and concrete measures and actions by the European Union aimed at providing moral and political support as well as economic, financial, humanitarian and military assistance to Ukraine in its heroic resistance to Russian aggression. It is emphasised that Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022 not only united Europe and improved the perception of the EU in member states' societies, where the positive image of the European Union reached its highest level in decades, but also maximised Ukrainian support for European integration, which has become the key to Ukraine's resilience in the fight against Russian occupiers
