Authors: Byington Charlene , Baker Susan
Published: July 2023

Western Region EFNEP coordinators were frustrated by the apparent lack of materials available for training newly hired paraprofessional nutrition educators. An on-line survey was distributed to all EFNEP and SNAP-Ed state coordinators seeking details about initial training and available materials and requesting copies of materials for review. Results indicated diversity in training methodologies reflecting individual states' needs. Using a comprehensive document developed by the Western Region, eight states' initial training materials have been reviewed. Three reviews are posted on the EFNEP Coordinator's website hosted by Purdue University and provide a new training resource for EFNEP and SNAP-Ed program coordinators.

DFT Treatment of Betazole Tautomerism
Authors: Türker Lemi
Published: July 2023

Betazole belongs to pyrazole type medicines and selectively targets and binds to the H2-type receptors. Tautomerism can only be demonstrated in pyrazole derivatives and not in the pyrazole itself. In the present density functional treatment of tautomers of betazole (within the constraints of density functional theory) calculations have been performed at the level of B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p). Betazole may exhibit 1,3- and 1,5-type proton tautomerism involving pyrazole ring system so that in some tautomers aromaticity of the ring is destroyed. The results have revealed that all the tautomers possess thermo chemically favorable formation values at the standard conditions and are electronically stable. Some quantum chemical and spectral properties of those tautomeric systems as well as nucleus independent chemical shift (NICS) values for the aromatic ones have been obtained and discussed.

Published: July 2023

Introduction: The purpose of this study is to identify the pattern and distribution of vitreoretinal (VR) diseases in Bali Mandara Eye Hospital

Methods: A retrospective descriptive study was conducted for this study. We reviewed all medical records of new patient diagnosed with VR diseases, from 1 January to 31 December 2019. We recorded and measured demography, history of systemic and eye disease, symptoms and onset, ophthalmic examinations, diagnostic investigations, final diagnoses, therapies, and the completion of the visit.

Results: Out of 2118 total visits, we found 1191 new cases with VR diagnosis. The male to female ratio was 1.3:1. We found a group of 46-65 years is represented in 678 cases (56.9%). Type 2 diabetes mellitus was the most commonly found as a systemic disease (15.5%), followed by the combination of diabetes and hypertension (14%) and hypertension alone (12.9%). History of previous cataract surgery was found in 174 cases (14.6%). Out of 1191 patients, 553 patients (46.4%) were blind. The most common diagnosis was diabetic retinopathy (19.7%), followed by rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (10.8%), and vitreous opacity (9.9%). Diabetic retinopathy affected both eyes in 302 cases (89.6%), while rhegmatogenous retinal detachment and vitreous opacity commonly affected one eye in 177 cases (95%) and 123 cases (73%), respectively. Proliferative diabetic retinopathy was found in 171 cases (50.7%).

Conclusions: Diabetic retinopathy and rhegmatogenous retinal detachment were the most two common diagnoses. The proliferative type was slightly common than Non-Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy. As diabetes and hypertension were the most systemic conditions we found, a collaboration with another department is needed to create a strategic screening system and early detection. An evaluation related to rhegmatogenous retinal detachment is needed to decrease the number of cases.

Introduction: Determine the prevalence and associated factors of diabetic retinopathy (DR) among people with type 2 diabetes.
Design: Cross-sectional study
Methods: We obtained data of people with type 2 diabetes retrospectively from a community-based DR screening database in Greater Bandung, Indonesia. We encoded the two fields mydriatic 45-degree fundus images to estimate prevalence. The associated factors analysis used multivariate logistic regression.
Results: We screened a total of 4,251 people with type 2 diabetes from January 2016 to December 2019. The overall age-standardised prevalence of any DR was 30.7% (95% CI: 28.7%-32.8%) and vision-threatening DR 7.6% (95% CI: 6.5%-9.0%). The following factors were associated with a higher prevalence of any DR: ages 50+ (OR:1.37;  95% CI:1.05-1.77), duration of diabetes five to ten years (OR:1.38; 95% CI:1.11-1.71) and more than ten years (OR:1.40; 95% CI:1.13-1.73), and postprandial blood glucose 200 mg/dl and higher (OR:1.27; 95% CI:1.03-1.52). The following factors were associated with a higher prevalence of vision-threatening DR: duration of diabetes five to ten years (OR:2.01; 95% CI:1.39-2.91) and more than ten years (OR:1.86; 95% CI:1.28-2.71), postprandial blood glucose 200 mg/dl or higher (OR:1.52; 95% CI:1.05-2.21) and systolic blood pressure 180 mmHg or higher (OR:2.67; 95% CI:1.16-6.17).
Conclusion: Diabetic retinopathy is prevalent among people with type 2 diabetes. People with diabetes should regulate their blood glucose and blood pressure to prevent retinopathy related vision loss.

Published: July 2023

Introduction: To present the clinical findings of Autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) Retinopathy and its rapid resolutions following treatment with steroid.

Case report: A 14-year-old female patient presented with decreased vision in the left eye. There was history of AIHA. Visual acuity was 1/60 in LE and 6/6 in RE. There was conjunctival pallor, and the other anterior segment were unremarkable. Fundus examination of left eye revealed flame shaped and dot blot hemorrhage, roth’s spots, optic disc swelling, venous turtuosity, and elevated macula. There were afferent pupil defect, red green deficiency, and contrast sensitivity decline. Hematological evaluation revealed anemia. A MRI Head and Orbital examination were unremarkable.

Discussion: This patient was assessed with LE Anemic retinopathy due to AIHA. The patient’s visual acuity improved as the retinopathy resolved after 1 month of oral steroid therapy.

Conclusion: Anemia may play a role in the occurrence of retinopathy. The diagnosis of retinopathy can be made by linking ophthalmic fndings with positive serological test. Accurate comprehensive examination can establish the systemic diagnosis, and control of systemic parameters will improve retinopathy, reverse vision loss, and avoid permanent blindness
A DIFFERENCE IN INCIDENCE OF VISUAL THREATENING DIABETIC RETINOPATHY BETWEEN PATIENTS WITH AND WITHOUT IMPAIRED SLEEP QUALITY
Authors: Fitrada Lucky , Ratnaningsih Nina , Iskandar Erwin
Published: July 2023

Background: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a common and major complication of diabetes mellitus (DM), and is the leading cause of preventable blindness in adults of productive age after cataracts. The global prevalence of DR is 34.6% , consisting of proliferative diabetic retinopathy (7.0%), diabetic macular edema (6.8%), and  visual threatening diabetic retinopathy (VTDR) (10.2%.) The risk factors for VTDR are age, duration of diabetes, glycemic control, hypertension, obesity, HbAIC levels, and dyslipidemia. In addition, impaired sleep quality is also indicated to be connected with the incidence of VTDR.

Objective: To compare the incidence of VTDR between patients with and without impaired sleep quality.

Methods: This was a cross-sectional comparative analytic observational study involving 178 type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with DR at the National Eye Center of Cicendo Eye Hospital who met the inclusion criteria. Subject characteristic data were taken from medical records and sleep quality data were collected through a structured interview using the Indonesian version of the Shorten Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) questionnaire. Subjects were distributed into poor and good sleep quality groups. The presence of VTDR was then assessed. The differences were then analyzed statistically using chi-square test with a p value of 0.05 considered statistically significant.Results: Results showed that 66.2% and 71.1% of patients in the poor and good quality sleep group suffered from VTDR, respectively (p> 0.05).

Conclusion: There is no difference in VTDR incidence between patients in productive age with type 2 DM between those with and without impaired sleep quality.

Authors: Supanji Supanji , Agni Angela Nurini
Published: July 2023

Introduction: Diabetic macular edema (DME) is a debilitating complication of the diabetic eye. Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) was found to be responsible for this disease entity, and anti-VEGF remains the main treatment of DME. Inflammatory processes occur in diabetic eye, with some researchers postulates the role of them in the making of DME. This study’s objective is to search for anti-VEGF alternative using Non-Steroid Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAID), ketorolac tromethamine.

Methods: We conducted a double blind, randomized clinical trial in DME patients using intravitreal injection of bevacizumab and ketorolac. Central macular thickness (CMT) was assessed pre-treatment and one-month post-treatment. Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) and Intraocular Pressure (IOP) were also assessed. Wilcoxon tests were performed to evaluate changes in CMT, visual acuity, and IOP.

Result: We enrolled 50 treatment-naïve DME patients from March 2020 to March 2021. Twenty-five patients were allocated for each group. There is a statistically significant difference in CMT at one-month follow-up between the two groups (p:0.001) and a markedly reduced CMT between the groups (p:0.001), with the reduction higher in bevacizumab group. BCVA changes significantly in bevacizumab group (p:0.01), but there is no statistically significant difference between the two groups (p:0.07). There’s a marked difference of IOP in 1 hour after injection in both groups, with higher transient IOP elevation in ketorolac group (p:0.02), but there is no marked difference in one-month follow-up (p:>0.05). The perceived pain right after intravitreal injection is not different between bevacizumab and ketorolac group.

Conclusion: Intravitreal injection of ketorolac found to be inferior compared to bevacizumab in reducing CMT of DME. Meanwhile, there’s no differences in visual acuity, intraocular pressure (one-month follow-up) and pain after injection between two groups.
CLINICAL OUTCOMES OF SURGERY FOR ADVANCED STAGE RETINOPATHY OF PREMATURITY: A CASE REPORT
Authors: Yulia Dian Estu , Jayawinata Marissa , Hutapea Mario Marbungaran
Published: July 2023

Introduction: Advanced stages of Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) could lead to childhood blindness and retinal surgery is needed as the main treatment. This case aims to report the clinical outcomes after surgery for advanced-stage ROP

Case Report: A female infant was admitted to the pediatric ophthalmology clinic in Cipto Mangunkusumo National Central Hospital Jakarta with a lack of visual contact in both eyes at 53 weeks of Post Menstrual Age (PMA). The infant was delivered at 28 weeks of gestational age with a birth weight of 1100 g. The baby was treated in NICU for 24 days and received oxygen therapy in the previous hospital. Retinal examination revealed that the patient had stage 5 ROP in the right eye and stage 4B ROP in the left eye. Furthermore, blinking reflect was absent in both eyes. Vitrectomy and endolaser were performed for the babyâ€™s left eye. Surgery was not conducted for the infantâ€™s right eye due to poor prognosis. Six weeks after surgery, the infant underwent examination under anesthesia (EUA) which showed that the retina was reattached with no vitreous hemorrhage, and intraocular pressure measurement was 7 mmHg. The result of the visual acuity test by Cardiff Acuity Cards was 6/60 on both eyes. Followed up EUA reported that the refraction test result on the left eye was S-3.75 C-5.75 x 85o and an undetermined result on the right eye due to opacity in the visual axis.

Discussion: Several surgeries have been described as the treatment of choice for advanced-stage ROP, including scleral buckling and vitrectomy with or without the addition of endolaser. Previous studies illustrated that stage 5 ROP has a low success rate on lens-sparing vitrectomy compared to stage 4A and 4B. The outcome success rate was the best in stage 4A ROP. Moreover, stage 4B ROP had a moderate success rate with sufficient visual outcomes.

Conclusion: The functional outcome of vitrectomy surgery may not equate to anatomic success. Retinal reattachment and moderate visual outcome were achieved by performing vitrectomy and endolaser in this case. Followed-up periodically is necessary for advanced stage ROP postoperatively.
RARE CASE OF SPONTANEOUS SUB-RETINAL HAEMORRHAGE ASSOCIATED WITH IDOPATHIC INTRACRANIAL HYPERTENSION
Authors: Pius Chris , Pradeep Thanuja
Published: July 2023

Introduction: Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH)is defined as increase in intracranial pressure due to unspecified causes leading to headache, papilledema, and transient vision loss. Usually the patients present with mild visual loss but about 25% may develop permanent visual loss due to irreversible optic disc damage. One rare cause of severe visual loss is subretinal hemorrhage (SRH) due to underlying Subretinal Neovascular membrane.
Case Report: We report a case of a 36-year-old man diagnosed with IIH and papilloedema with sudden onset profound visual loss in his right eye. On examination, there was a large peripapillary SRH superior to the disc and involving the macula.We stress the importance of recognizing this uncommon complication of papilledema and discuss the possible causes for developing SRH, its most common outcome and the diagnostic as well as treatment modalities available.
Discussion: We stress the importance of recognizing this uncommon complication of papilledema and discuss the possible causes for developing SRH, its most common outcome and the diagnostic as well as current treatment modalities available.
Conclusion: This report highlights a rare case of spontaneous sub retinal haemorrhage in a patient with IIH. Measurement of optic nerve sheath diameter can be a vital tool for the diagnosis of raised intracranial pressure in this setting.

Authors: Guarniz Poma Gonzalo Alberto , Gutiérrez-Verde Diana Esmeralda , Gutiérrez-Valverde Rodrigo Aníbal , Díaz-Plasencia Juan Alberto
Published: August 2023

Los liposarcomas son neoplasias malignas raras que se originan en el tejido adiposo, con mayor frecuencia en el retroperitoneo. De todas las variantes histológicas, el diferenciado es el más común y el de mejor pronóstico. El diagnóstico se establece con pruebas imagenológicas con o sin ayuda de biopsia. El tratamiento consiste en la resección completa del tumor, que puede o no acompañarse de terapia adyuvante. Se presenta el caso de un paciente de 41 años con distensión abdominal y pérdida de peso, en el que se confirma un liposarcoma retroperitoneal mediante una TC abdominal, por lo que fue sometido a una resección quirúrgica completa que resultó exitosa. El paciente se recuperó satisfactoriamente y se mantuvo sin recidivas durante el seguimiento. Se concluye que el diagnóstico y terapéutico varían de acuerdo con las características del tumor y su riesgo de recidiva; por lo que hasta la actualidad continúa siendo un desafío multidisciplinario.

The year 2022 marked the 800th anniversary of the establishment of the University of Padua, one that Poles have eagerly chosen as the site of their education since its founding, and one of Europe’s finest intellectual centers of the humanist era. For many years, Polish researchers have pointed out the importance of the university to our country, its culture, science and comprehensive development. The Polish elite of the 15th, 16th and early 17th centuries, including Paweł Włodkowic, Nicolaus Copernicus, Jan Kochanowski and Jan Zamoyski were educated in Padua, but these are just some of the many Polish names associated with the university. In view of the significant importance of the “Paduans” for Polish culture, we have decided to devote the theme section of this issue of Perspectives on Culture to the classical inspirations and cultural aspirations of the promoters of Polish culture in Padua, and to place it under the editorship of Prof. Dr. hab. Mirosław Lenart and Dr. Sławomir Marchel from the University of Opole. His Magnificence Father Rector of the Jesuit University Ignatianum in Cracow, Fr. Dr. Tomasz Homa SJ, AIK Professor, also included his introductory word in the issue.
Le virtù dei ‘tenenti’ polonici, tra classicità e cristianità
Authors: Benucci Franco
Published: July 2023

L’articolo esamina il corpus di araldica studentesca riguardante la Natio Polona allo Studium di Padova, in particolar modo gli stemmi miniati nel volume del registro della Nazione (1592 [ma 1605] – 1745) – dal punto di vista della struttura di queste rappresentazioni, delle insegne ufficiali e dei sostegni o tenenti che vi compaiono (per la maggior parti allegorie di virtù o figure tratte dalla mitologia greco-romana) e del significato che essi, insieme alle massime e ai motti che incorniciano le singole miniature, trasmettono, confrontando tutto ciò con la documentazione prodotta dalle due Nationes Germanicae dei Giuristi (1545–1609, 1650–1709) e degli artisti (1553–1769) e dalla Natio Ultramarina (ovvero greca: 1656–1737). Si potrà quindi osservare che, nella dialettica tra afflato religioso e ispirazione classica che ne emerge, la vera dimensione in cui il primo è messo in pratica è la difesa culturale e militare del cristianesimo, sussunta dal tema della virtus pervasivamente illustrato dai motti e dalle figure che rinviano al secondo.
A Lutheran, Maciej Vorbek-Lettow (1593–1663) and his Studies in Padua
Authors: Chemperek Dariusz
Published: July 2023

Maciej Vorbek-Lettow – Hetman Krzysztof Radziwiłł’s physician, and later one of King Władysław IV, left a memoir, Skarbnica pamięci [Treasury of Rememberance], in which he described his medical studies in Padua in detail. Many factors contribute to the great source value of this work: Vorbek-Lettow studied in Padua in 1613–1614 as a 20-year-old; he had previous educational experience from various academic centers (Vilnius, Gdańsk, Paris, Louvain); he held the position of syndic at Padua’s Università Artisti; he actively participated in the reform of the university, which gave non-Catholics equal rights in receiving doctorates as Catholics; and he took part in the first clashes in the guerra di Gradisca. The purpose of the article is to show the activity of Vorbek-Lettow in Padua and the Republic of Venice against the historical background, taking into account the role of the Paduan faculty of medicine for the development of medical science in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth of the 16th–17th centuries.
August Fryderyk Moszyński, un illuminista polacco in viaggio tra Padova e Venezia
Authors: Łukaszewicz Justyna
Published: July 2023

Redatto in francese, il diario del viaggio attraverso Francia e Italia (1784–1786) del conte August Fryderyk Moszyński (1731–1786) – architetto, collezionista ed erudito, appassionato di arte e scienze, importante figura dell’Illuminismo Polacco, collaboratore e amico del re Stanislao II Augusto – è una vera e propria miniera di informazioni per i ricercatori che si occupano del XVIII secolo. Lo scopo di questo articolo è quello di integrare o chiarire informazioni sulle ultime settimane di vita del conte, che trascorse a Padova e Venezia, e le circostanze della sua morte, nonché di scoprire se sia stato un promotore della cultura polacca durante il suo viaggio in Veneto. L’analisi del suo diario rende possibile identificare elementi riguardanti reali o ipotetici legami tra la cultura della Serenissima e quella della Confederazione Polacco-Lituana, così come un confronto tra la vita politica e culturale dei due paesi. Citazioni tratte dal diario sono state confrontate con altre fonti dell’epoca, grazie alle quali è stato possibile stabilire, tra l’altro, che Moszyński visitò Padova sulla strada per Venezia, intorno al 22 maggio, e tornò in quella città per vedere la gara di cavalli a Prato della Valle il 27 giugno 1786. Documenti d’archivio conservati a Varsavia e a Venezia hanno consentito a loro volta di stabilire con certezza le circostanze della morte (luogo, data, causa) e della sepoltura (data, luogo) del viaggiatore.
Un poeta rinascimentale polacco nella città d’Antenore
Authors: Lenart Mirosław
Published: July 2023

L’importanza del triplice viaggio di Jan Kochanowski a Padova è un tema che è stato più volte affrontato nella letteratura scientifica. I risultati di queste ricerche godono soprattutto dell’interesse di quegli studiosi che si concentrano sull’analisi dei materiali documentari e sulla ricostruzione dell’atmosfera dominante nella città chiamata spesso la rocca di Antenore. Essa conobbe nel XVI secolo il suo massimo splendore, fatto sul quale influì la politica della Repubblica di Venezia, nell’ambito della quale si cercò tra l’altro di fare di questo centro universitario e allo stesso tempo cittadino una riconoscibile meta di viaggi educativi per i giovani provenienti da tutta Europa. Per questi ultimi il contatto con un ambiente dalle alte aspirazioni intellettuali e artistiche era spesso l’inizio di una brillante carriera, sviluppata dopo il ritorno in patria. Il ricordo delle esperienze vissute durante i soggiorni a Padova ha svolto un ruolo di primo piano anche nella formazione dell’ispirazione poetica di Jan Kochanowski, ciò di cui testimoniano molti suoi testi, come ad esempio Satyr albo dziki mąż, Odprawa Posłów greckich, e il ciclo degli epigrammi. In quest’ultimo un luogo particolare è quello del tiglio attorno al quale Kochanowski organizza lo spazio del mondo reale e poetico. L’Autore dell’articolo ricerca tra l’altro le fonti italiane di questo motivo e si sofferma su altre possibili ispirazioni, che attendono analisi più approfondite in ulteriori ricerche, aldilà delle riflessioni sull’italianismo del maestro di Czarnolas.
Il viaggio di Enrico di Valois, Re di Francia e Polonia, da Cracovia a Lione (18 giugno – 5 settembre 1574)
Authors: Natta Federica
Published: July 2023

Il saggio descrive i preparativi cerimoniali per la visita a Mantova di Enrico di Valois, re della Polonia, nell’agosto del 1574. Il re visitò la città durante il suo viaggio da Cracovia a Lione (18 giugno – 5 settembre 1574), prima di essere incoronato re di Francia. In questa occasione il duca di Mantova Guglielmo Gonzaga preparò archi trionfali, sculture, danze e celebrazioni per Enrico. Il re visitò la città, ma anche le chiese di S. Andrea e S. Pietro, con le loro importanti reliquie. Il saggio ricostruisce le installazioni attraverso la lettura delle cronache, e soprattutto, della corrispondenza e dei materiali del tempo, ritrovati nell’Archivio Gonzaga di Mantova.
I plurisecolari contatti del clero di Gniezno con l’Italia
Authors: Sołomieniuk Michał
Published: July 2023

L’articolo offre una visione generale dei libri manoscritti e degli antichi libri stampati di provennienza italiana, conservati nell’Archivio dell’Arcidiocesi di Gniezno. Gniezno è la sede del Primate di Polonia e per secoli il suo arcivescovo è stato una personalità assai importante nel Regno di Polonia (allora Confederazione Polacco-Lituana), subito dopo il re. Il significato ecclesiastico e politico di questo arcivescovado spiega i secolari legami del clero di Gniezno con l’Italia come meta dei pellegrinaggi, dei viaggi alla curia pontificia e degli studi universitari. L’articolo mette in evidenza, tra i libri manoscritti, i codici latini contenenti i libri dei corsi universitari (in questo numero vi sono quattro codici provenienti da Padova), gli appunti delle lezioni presi dagli studenti e un giornale di viaggio scritto in polacco durante un viaggio a Roma nel XVIII secolo. Gli incunaboli di provenienza italiana, per la loro quantità, dovrebbero costituire un oggetto di studio separato e non sono presi in considerazione in questo contributo. Tra le antiche stampe del XVI secolo, l’autore presenta i libri considerati sia “italica” sia “polonica”. Per quanto riguarda i libri stampati successivamente di provenienza italiana conservati a Gniezno, l’articolo si riferisce alla biblioteca privata di un canonico capitolare, che negli anni 1834–1835 intraprese un viaggio di studio in Italia. Infine, l’Autore menziona alcune “tracce bibliotecarie” delle relazioni polacco-italiane riguardanti la Riforma protestante.
Venezia e Padova nelle poesie in latino di Klemens Janicki
Authors: Wojtkowska-Maksymik Marta
Published: July 2023

L’articolo tratta di elegie ed epigrammi scelti composti da Klemens Janicki, i quali contengono descrizioni di Padova, dell’Italia e di persone legate alla città di Antenore e a Venezia: Lazzaro Bonamico, Giovanni Battista Da Monte, Francesco Cassano, Pietro Bembo, Ludovico Dolce, Daniele Barbaro. L’Autrice sostiene che Janicki sia riuscito a creare un’immagine dell’Italia ed in particolare di Padova, una seconda patria, dove il poeta potè svilupparsi, studiare ed essere curato. Le poesie legate all’Italia e Padova contribuiscono inoltre ad arricchire la biografia letteraria di Janicki, un cittadino del mondo, un poeta laurato, uno studente allegro, un paziente felice, un amico e un collega delle persone legate alla Repubblica di Venezia nella prima metà del XVI secolo.
Krytyka parlamentaryzmu w Rzeczypospolitej w literaturze staropolskiej końca XVI wieku
Authors: Koehler Krzysztof
Published: July 2023

Rokosz Zebrzydowskiego (1606–1609) jest dowodem spadku zaufania obywateli do parlamentu. W artykule nie opisuje się jednakowoż rozumowania o sejmie w czasie rokoszu. Moim celem jest wskazanie na pewne elementy wcześniejszej argumentacji dotyczącej krytyki sejmu zawartej w trzech ważnych pracach powstałych w ostatnim dziesięcioleciu wieku XVI. Są to: Stanisława Karnkowskiego Exorbitancyje i naprawa Koła Poselskiego (1596), Piotra Skargi Kazania sejmowe (1597) oraz Krzysztofa Warszewickiego De optimo statu libertatis (1598).
The Pilgrim’s Identity in Liquid Modernity
Authors: Bremer Józef
Published: July 2023

The road, journey, wandering are topics known from works of various historical epochs that still appear in social sciences, philosophy and literature. According to Zygmunt Bauman, as humans, we have gone from the times of solid modernity, when we perceived ourselves as “pilgrims” characterized by the concept of identity, to the times of liquid modernity, when we are “tourists” looking for diverse but ephemeral experiences. In this article, I show that the idea of pilgrimage is still valid and allows us to strengthen our identity. I refer to the broad understanding of pilgrimage in the Christian tradition, to the currently observed increase in the popularity of pilgrimages and, above all, to the interpretation of my own experiences of making pilgrimages on the Spanish Camino de Santiago trails. Finally, I characterize the specificity of the pilgrim’s role and the criteria for shaping his identity.
Od tolerancji do pokojowej koegzystencji
Authors: Świeboda Wojciech
Published: July 2023

Artykuł ukazuje proces kształtowania się w środowisku polskich doktorów prawa kanonicznego w pierwszej połowie XV w. koncepcji pokojowego współistnienia z innowiercami. Okoliczności podjęcia tego zagadnienia związane były ściśle z konfliktem Polski i Litwy z zakonem krzyżackim, a bezpośrednim impulsem były oskarżenia ze strony Krzyżaków o zawarcie sojuszy z niewiernymi w wojnie. Za twórców idei uważa się Stanisława ze Skarbimierza, Andrzeja Łaskarzyca oraz Pawła Włodkowica. Uczeni ci zwrócili uwagę na niezbywalne prawa innowierców, które wynikają z prawa naturalnego oraz ius gentium, a które obejmują możliwość samoobrony, posiadania własnych państw, władzy i własności. Wykazali w ten sposób, że Krzyżacy nie mogą napadać na Żmudzinów i Litwinów pod pretekstem nawracania. Łaskarzyc i Włodkowic podkreślali ponadto, że poganom należy się szacunek wynikający z godności ludzkiej, a ich odmienność religijna nie stanowi przeszkody w utrzymywaniu pokojowych relacji z nimi.

Ostatni z uczonych dużo miejsca poświęcił relacjom między chrześcijanami a innowiercami. Przekonywał, że sama przynależność religijna nie daje podstaw do uznania kogokolwiek za wroga Kościoła. Nie można też nikomu narzucać wiary siłą, a chrystianizacja ma się dokonywać na drodze cierpliwego nauczania i przykładu osobistego. Jego zdaniem tolerancja wynikająca wprost z prawa naturalnego buduje atmosferę zaufania, dzięki czemu łatwiej jest pozyskać nowych wiernych. Propagowana przez Włodkowica idea pokojowej koegzystencji z różnowiercami oraz troska o zachowanie ich praw była w jego oczach naturalną konsekwencją dążenia do sprawiedliwości i uczciwości w stosunkach między społecznościami. Tolerancja religijna była zaś metodą umożliwiającą zachowanie życzliwych relacji i w konsekwencji stanu pokoju między narodami.
Podmiotowość i prawa narodów w dyskursie wartości i postaw
Authors: Korporowicz Leszek
Published: July 2023

Współczesne procesy globalizacji potwierdzają, iż nie są wyłącznie jednorodnym i jednokierunkowym fenomenem cywilizacyjnej homogenizacji, postępujących powiązań i wszechstronnej medializacji. Nasilająca się mobilność oraz interakcja osób i grup spowodowały odwrotną wręcz dynamikę różnicowania, pluralizacji, ale także ożywienia świadomości, tożsamości oraz poczucia praw kulturowych zarówno starych, jak i nowych wspólnot kulturowych. Umiejętność artykulacji i rozwoju owych praw jako atrybutów podmiotowości kulturowej współzależy jednak od wielu komponentów kompetencji i postaw aksjologicznych uczestników dyskursu, jaki dokonuje się na bardzo różnych poziomach, począwszy od mikro- do makrostruktur społecznych. Szczególną rolę zajmują wśród nich wspólnoty narodowe. Charakteryzują się bowiem najbardziej złożonym powiązaniem struktur czysto symbolicznych i instytucjonalnych, dziedziczonych i tworzonych, afektywnych i poznawczych. Ich kulturowa kondycja zależy od stopnia uwikłania w procesy redukcji kulturowych świata współczesnego, które zamieniają wartości na potrzeby, osoby na jednostki, dziedzictwo na impresje, mądrość na informację, poznanie na doznanie, treści na wrażenia. Od zdolności pokonania tych redukcji zależy stopień postrzegania realności bytu narodu, siły jego tożsamości, potencjałów rozwojowych oraz szans na twórczą odpowiedź wobec wyzwań współczesności.
