Elastyczne formy pracy a rodzina. Wyniki badań wśród wielkopolskich przedsiębiorców.
Authors: Kalinowska-Sufinowicz Baha
Published: September 2015

Celem artykułu jest wskazanie najbardziej przyjaznych dla rodzin z dziećmi elastycznych form zatrudnienia i organizacji czasu pracy, które mogą pozwolić na lepsze osiąganie równowagi pomiędzy życiem zawodowym i rodzinnym.W pierwszej kolejności zdefiniowano pojęcie elastyczności pracy oraz dokonano przeglądu elastycznych form zatrudnienia, a następnie elastycznych form organizacji pracy. W dalszej części dokonano analizy elastycznych form pracy w świetle wyników badania ankietowego (o charakterze pilotażowym), które zostało przeprowadzone w dniach 03.06.2012 – 16.06.2012 roku wśród przedsiębiorstw, prowadzących działalność gospodarczą na terenie województwa wielkopolskiego.Przeprowadzona analiza wskazuje, że elastyczne formy zatrudnienia i organizacji czasu pracy mogą być szansą dla pracujących matek i ojców na bardziej harmonijne godzenie życia zawodowego z rodzinnym. Jednak pomimo wysokiej oceny wielu elastycznych form pracy odnośnie ich przydatności dla pracujących rodziców, ich wykorzystanie w wielkopolskich przedsiębiorstwach jest na zbyt niskim poziomie, m.in. z powodu braku zaufania (pracownik-pracodawca).
Osoby rozwiedzione żyjące w nowych związkach w realiach polskiego Kościoła. Spostrzeżenia zainspirowane przedsynodalnym kwestionariuszem.
Authors: Michasiów Marian
Published: September 2015

Nowe wyzwania, jakie przed ewangelizacyjną misją Kościoła stawia trawiący aktualnie cywilizację Zachodnią kryzys rodziny, która dotychczas stanowiła podstawowe środowisko przekazu wiary, skłoniły papieża Franciszka, aby to właśnie sprawom rodziny poświęcić najbliższe Zgromadzenie Ogólne Synodu Biskupów. Wraz z dokumentem przygotowawczym do niego poszczególnym episkopatom rozesłany został również kwestionariusz, zawierający pytania dotyczące recepcji katolickiego nauczania na temat rodziny, skali różnego rodzaju trudnych przypadków oraz doświadczeń duszpasterskich, jakie w odpowiadaniu na nie mają Kościoły lokalne. Wśród owych sytuacji, wyszczególnionych w dokumencie pojawiła się również kwestia ochrzczonych, którzy po rozwodzie weszli w nowy, niesakramentalny związek. Autorzy kwestionariusza pytają w nim o podanie odsetka wiernych, których ten problem dotyczy, zdiagnozowanie sposobu, w jaki przeżywają swój problem, oraz ocenę stopnia objęcia ich przez odpowiednie programy duszpasterskie.W rzeczywistości Kościoła w Polsce problem ten bez wątpienia w ostatnich dziesięcioleciach przybrał na sile wraz ze znacznym wzrostem liczby rozwodów i ponownych związków, zawieranych przez osoby rozwiedzione. Można wśród nich zaobserwować całą paletę stanów przeżywanych w związku z owym trudnym położeniem: od obojętności, poczucia społecznego dyskomfortu, pretensji, rozżalenia, poczucia odtrącenia aż po szczerą tęsknotę za życiem sakramentalnym i autentyczny żal z powodu zła, które się wydarzyło. Ze smutkiem można też stwierdzić, że – mimo obecności tej kwestii w programach duszpasterskich i odważnych prekursorskich działań poszczególnych kapłanów i zakonników – duszpasterstwo związków niesakramentalnych w takim stopniu, w jakim realizowane jest przez polski Kościół, nie jest wystarczającą odpowiedzią na tenże problem.
Czy i na ile jest możliwa dzisiaj współpraca rodziców i nauczycieli na rzecz integralnego wychowania ucznia?
Authors: Misiaszek Kazimierz
Published: September 2015

W obecnej rzeczywistości, gdy rozpowszechnia się coraz bardziej liberalny model wychowania, postulat formacji integralnej ucznia staje się koniecznością. Analiza podstawy programowej nauczania ogólnego uświadamia nam, że szkoła tkwi w głębokim kryzysie, który także sama wywołała. Podjęcie działań naprawczych wymaga zespolonych, solidarnych działań. Dopiero wówczas będą one skuteczne. Należy pilnie uświadamiać rodziców o ich prawie do wychowania, jak również wspomagać działania na rzecz domagania się ich udziału w wychowaniu szkolnym. Są to zadania, jakie stoją dzisiaj przed wszystkimi podmiotami odpowiedzialnymi za wychowanie: rodzicami, samą szkołą i Kościołem.
Trinitology towards Challenges of Pluralistic Theology of Religion Systematical, Moral and Theological Reflection
Authors: Bokwa Ignacy
Published: September 2015

Nowadays pluralistic theology of religion is rightly regarded as one of the greatest threats to Christianity. It specifically concerns Christology. A threat to the Christian belief in the Trinity, which is created by pluralistic theology of religion, is seen more rarely. Many scholars consider pluralistic theology of religion as a further step of the modern fight against Christianity and the Church. The increasing spread of religions of the Far East plays a significant role. Pluralistic theology of religion refers to the basic ideas of Buddhism, trying to create a universal religion of the world. Pluralist theology of religion treats every religion of the world with affection- with the exception of Christianity. It is Christianity that is supposed to be tolerant and to adapt to other religions by means of losing its own identity. Pluralistic theology of religion relativizes the Person of Jesus Christ, undermining the uniqueness of the incarnation of God. Jesus of Nazareth was only a prominent man standing near Reality itself (God). Since Jesus Christ was not an ontological Son of God, the doctrine of the Trinity is being undermined. Representatives of pluralistic theology of religion reject the idea of a personal God, at the same time hitting in all monotheistic religions. From their point of view, God is for the human mind unattainable reality which no revelation is able to bring. Various religions are only stages of searching for the final Reality itself. Father, Son and Spirit are nothing more than a projection of human yearnings and religious pursuits. Faced with such claims, Christian theology cannot remain silent. One should be reminded of development of faith in the Triune God in the life of the Church. This is a theoretical- scientific dimension of the problem. It also has its practical and existential meaning. Although Immanuel Kant claimed that the doctrine of the Trinity has no practical importance, contemporary theological reflection presents a new aspect of this problem. Communio- theology comprehends the mystery of the Trinity as an event of constant communication in which Father gives Himself to the Son and so they create the Holy Spirit. The mystery of diversity reconciled in the unity stands at the beginning of every reality. The mystery of the Holy Trinity has its significance not only inside (life of the Church) but also outside (life of the secular, political and economic community). Nowadays the latter has a special meaning in particular. It is a theological and moral surface of the reflection, showing that one should not be afraid of multiplicity and diversity but treat them as an opportunity. In the era of new conflicts and divisions that are increasing and the renewal of the old traumas, it turns out that appeals of the representatives of pluralist theology of religion are fake and are supposed to challenge the principles of Christianity, whereas Christian theology offers modern societies interesting proposals acceptable not only for those who believe.

Ruch młodzieży Niniwa jako dziedzictwo św. Eugeniusza de Mazenoda w pracy z młodymi
Authors: Maniura Tomasz
Published: September 2015

W obliczu zbliżającego się jubileuszu 200-lecia powstania Zgromadzenia Misjonarzy Oblatów Maryi Niepokalanej i przy okazji jubileuszu 10-lecia Oblackiego Duszpasterstwa Młodzieży NINIWA, autor artykułu przybliża genezę i założenia oblackiego ruchu młodzieży. Wyjście od postaci św. Eugeniusza de Mazneoda pozwala ukazać jego mocne zaangażowanie w pracę z młodymi i ogromną troskę za tę grupę w Kościele. Choć św. Eugeniusz za swą główną misję stawiał sobie wrażliwość i wyjście do ubogich, to rozumiał ich jako ubogich duchowo. W czasach św. Eugeniusza w dużej mierze grupę tę stanowili młodzi ludzie, pozbawieni perspektyw i doświadczenia Boga. Tworząc Stowarzyszenie Młodych z Aix postawił założenia programowe, w których nie brakowało czasu na katechezę i modlitwę, ale jednocześnie były one przeplatane chwilami relaksu, przeróżnymi grami i zabawami. Widząc owoce i potrzebę tej pracy w Konstytucjach i Regułach zakonnych z 1818 r. pisał, że kierownictwo młodych będzie uznane jako zasadnicza posługa w zgromadzeniu.Autor artykułu ukazuje charakterystyczne cechy św. Eugeniusza de Mazenoda w duszpasterstwie młodych, a następnie wprowadza czytelnika w odniesienie ich do współczesnej już wspólnoty NINIWA. Niewątpliwie inspiracją dla niniwitów i jednocześnie ich własnym pragnieniem była chęć prowadzenia innych do Chrystusa, by dzielić się osobistym doświadczeniem Boga. Podstawowym sposobem realizacji tego celu była modlitwa, by być „Bożymi narzędziami”. Tak powstaje nazwa wspólnoty, a później ogólnopolskiego duszpasterstwa oblackiego. Młodzi, tworzący pierwszą wspólnotę NINIWY, bardzo szybko odnaleźli się zarówno wśród mieszkańców starotestamentowego miasta, wezwanych do nawrócenia, jak i w buntowniczej postawie Jonasza. Słowa z Księgi Jonasza: „Wstań, idź do Niniwy” miały odtąd stać się mottem tej grupy. Z czasem tworzy się 3-letni cykl formacji oparty na czterech typach spotkań i trzech weekendowych rekolekcjach formacyjnych o ciekawych nazwach: Bunt Jonasza, Pustynna Burza i Pasja Eugeniusza.Snując wywód o tożsamości wspólnoty, autor odpowiada na pytanie co sprawia, że NINIWA jest rzeczywistością, w której młodzi ludzie autentycznie spotykają Boga.
Duchowość nowego człowieka w perspektywie tajemnicy sakramentu chrztu
Authors: Piasecki Piotr
Published: September 2015

Chrześcijanin może odnaleźć się we współczesnym świecie i aktywnie wpływać na jego przyszłość realizując swoje powołanie tylko w oparciu o określoną duchowość. Najogólniej możemy ją określić jako duchowość chrzcielną. Posługując się pawłową dychotomią: stary i nowy człowiek; śmierć i zmartwychwstanie, wyłania się pełne dynamizmu pojęcie duchowości nowego człowieka. Koncentruje się wokół nowości Chrystusa i nowego życia, którego On jest źródłem. Nowość życia ochrzczonego zasadza się na bezpośredniej, i wciąż budzącej pełen ekscytacji niedosyt relacji, jaka wywiązuje się pomiędzy człowiekiem a Chrystusem, obecnym i działającym w Kościele. Duchowość nowego człowieka jest organiczna, bowiem można mówić o jej integralności w wieloaspektowości. Obejmując duchowość krzyża, zmartwychwstania, śmierci i nowego życia, uległości Duchowi Świętemu, modlitwy, misyjną, antropologiczną oraz włączając się w nurt eklezjologii, trynitologii i eschatologii, dlatego stanowi innowacyjny wkład do właściwego postrzegania duchowości chrześcijańskiej.

Chrzest jako źródło apostolstwa świeckich
Authors: Sikora Adam
Published: September 2015

Zagadnienie apostolstwa świeckich pojmowane jako włączenie się w głoszenie Ewangelii przez cały Kościół odniesione musi być do sakramentu chrztu jako jego źródła. Źródłowy charakter chrztu widoczny jest w kilku aspektach. Podstawowymi są następujące dwa.Pierwszym jest włączenie przez chrzest do wspólnoty Kościoła, który z natury jest apostolski i misyjny. Zadanie apostolskie Kościół wypełnia zarówno przez osoby konsekrowane i mające udział w kapłaństwie sakramentalnym, ale także przez wszystkich świeckich ochrzczonych. Chrzest włączający w Kościół jest więc tym aktem zbawczym, który uzdalnia do realizowania zadań apostolskich.Drugim aspektem jest udział w potrójnej godności Chrystusa - kapłańskiej, prorockiej i królewskiej. We wszystkich tych trzech pojęciach kryje się tajemnica jedności z Chrystusem, który sam będąc pierwszym głoszącym Ewangelię uzdalnia i powołuje wszystkich ochrzczonych do tego zadania.W oby tych aspektach istotną i źródłową rolę spełnia sakrament chrztu.
Wolontariat jak forma świadectwa ludzi ochrzczonych.
Authors: Olczyk Maciej
Published: September 2015

Analiza fenomenu wolontariatu podjęta w perspektywie chrześcijańskiej wiary pozwala na jego teologiczną interpretację. Odkrywamy w ten sposób naczelną i konstytutywną zasadę wolontariatu: miłość przeżywaną w kontekście społecznym. Wiara, która działa przez miłość, ubogacona nadprzyrodzoną nadzieją jest niezawodną gwarancją skuteczności ochotników poświęcających się dla innych. W ten sposób wolontariat chrześcijański objawia się jako specyficzna droga manifestacji życia teologalnego mającego swój początek w chrzcie świętym.
Pastoralny wymiar przygotowania rodziców do chrztu dziecka
Authors: Bohdanowicz Andrzej
Published: September 2015

Wśród siedmiu sakramentów chrzest św. zajmuje szczególne miejsce gdyż jest udzielany na wyraźne polecenie samego Chrystusa. Nazywa się go także sakramentem wprowadzającym do wspólnoty Kościoła, gdyż od jego przyjęcia uzależnione jest otrzymanie innych sakramentów. Potrzeba przybliżenia dzisiaj wiernym tajemnicy chrztu św. wynika z pewnych braków w poznaniu i pojmowaniu tego sakramentu wśród samych ochrzczonych. Dlatego należy ponownie zastanowić się nad rolą i formą przygotowania do chrztu. W odniesieniu do przygotowania rodziców do chrztu dziecka w artykule przedstawiono propozycję trzyetapowego procesu obejmującego etap dalszy, bliższy i bezpośredni. Autor apeluje o odwołanie się do formacji neokatechumenalnej w duszpasterstwie tradycyjnym związanym z udzielaniem tego sakramentu, ponowne odkrycie wartości Eucharystii i Chrztu Św. szczególnie w okresie Wielkiego Postu, a na końcu omawia bezpośrednie przygotowanie obrzędu chrztu św. i jego liturgiczne celebrowanie.

An Ontology-Based Conceptual Model For Accumulating And Reusing Knowledge In A DMAIC Process
Authors: Nguyen ThanhDat , Kifor Claudiu Vasile
Published: September 2015

DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control) is an important process used to enhance quality of processes basing on knowledge. However, it is difficult to access DMAIC knowledge. Conventional approaches meet a problem arising from structuring and reusing DMAIC knowledge. The main reason is that DMAIC knowledge is not represented and organized systematically. In this article, we overcome the problem basing on a conceptual model that is a combination of DMAIC process, knowledge management, and Ontology engineering. The main idea of our model is to utilizing Ontologies to represent knowledge generated by each of DMAIC phases. We build five different knowledge bases for storing all knowledge of DMAIC phases with the support of necessary tools and appropriate techniques in Information Technology area. Consequently, these knowledge bases provide knowledge available to experts, managers, and web users during or after DMAIC execution in order to share and reuse existing knowledge.
Risk Management In Perspective Of Knowledge Management A Brief Survey
Authors: Rehman Zobia , Kifor Claudiu V.
Published: September 2015

This article explains the application of knowledge management for project risk management in industry. Combination of knowledge management and risk management is becoming a dire need for industries nowadays, because it has become necessary to make information reach timely to its destined users to achieve the desired goals. Quick decisions are needed throughout a project life cycle to mitigate or avoid a risk, but they are only possible when knowledge about it is in hand and can be inferred for fruitful decisions. Quality engineers make huge effort in analyzing and mitigating the risk and prepare various documents about different risk management stages. But this knowledge resides in documents or underutilized databases without any relation to each other that makes it useless for complex decision making. This article shall explain how knowledge management activities are helpful in risk management and the advantages of their fusion. It will also present a conceptual architecture of an Information Technology based solution for risk management and knowledge management combination.
Hospital Management Between The Modern Image And Aging
Authors: Dadulescu Ana-Maria
Published: September 2015

Hospital management has experienced significant progress with the evolution of the Romanian health system reform, it has made strides in terms of resource allocation and cost control, new systems for classification, evaluation and monitoring (DRGs, SIUI, CaPeSaRo) were implemented, some taken from other countries and adapted to local conditions, but not always integrated with the other components and sometimes incompletely implemented and developed. This material does not offer definite solutions to current problems. It only briefly addresses the main aspects of hospital activity, and points out some failures with whom hospital managers are presently faced. Once the problems are identified it creates prerequisites for solving them, it opens channels of research and development of new methodologies or correlation of the existing deficient workflows that can be corrected.

The Effect Of Weave Construction On Tear Strength Of Woven Fabrics
Authors: Eryuruk Selin Hanife , Kalaoğlu Fatma
Published: September 2015

The tear strength of a woven fabric is very important, since it is more closely related to serviceability of the fabric. Tearing strength of the fabrics depend on the mobility of the yarn within the fabric structure. In this study, the tearing strength of four types of fabrics warp rib, weft rib, ripstop and plain weave were analysed, which were produced in different densities and with filament and texturised polyester yarns.
Comparative analysis of GaAs- and GaSb-based active regions emitting in the mid-infrared wavelength range
Authors: Piskorski Ł. , Frasunkiewicz L. , Sarzała R.P.
Published: September 2015

In the present paper the results of the computer analysis of the GaAs-based and GaSb-based active regions that can be applied in compact semiconductor laser sources of radiation at mid-infrared wavelengths are presented. Quantum well material contents and strain dependencies on the maximal gain are investigated. It is shown that above 3 μm the maximal gain obtained for GaInNAs/AlGaInAs active region is high only for thick, highly-strained GaInNAs QWs with N concentration higher than 2%. Much higher gain in this wavelength range can be obtained for GaInAsSb/AlGaAsSb active region, which offers relatively high gain even at 4.5 μm when the Sb content in GaInAsSb and compressive strain in this layer are equal to 50% and − 2%, respectively.
An efficient algorithm for determining positions of astronomical objects in the Deep Sky Object pictures
Authors: Suszynski R. , Wawryn K. , Dziebowski M.
Published: September 2015

The article presents an algorithm for digital image processing of astronomical objects in order to effectively determine the position of these objects. The proposed method has been optimized due to its effectiveness of removing noise and distortion caused by atmospheric turbulence and imperfections in long exposure photography of astronomical objects. This solution is ready for implementation in a system for automatic identification of stars in the recorded images. Such a system is designed for GoTo circuits at telescope’s drives, which can automatically point a telescope to astronomical objects. The method was verified by simulation in MATLAB program on real images of astronomical objects.
Towards the boundary between easy and hard control problems in multicast Clos networks
Authors: Obszarski P. , Jastrzębski A. , Kubale M.
Published: September 2015

In this article we study 3-stage Clos networks with multicast calls in general and 2-cast calls, in particular. We investigate various sizes of input and output switches and discuss some routing problems involved in blocking states. To express our results in a formal way we introduce a model of hypergraph edge-coloring. A new class of bipartite hypergraphs corresponding to Clos networks is studied. We identify some polynomially solvable instances as well as a number of NP-complete cases. Our results warn of possible troubles arising in the control of Clos networks even if they are composed of small-size switches in outer stages. This is in sharp contrast to classical unicast Clos networks for which all the control problems are polynomially solvable.
Control of a planar robot in the flight phase using transverse function approach
Authors: Pazderski D. , Kozłowski K.
Published: September 2015

This paper deals with stabilization and tracking control problems defined with respect to a planar mechanical structure similar to Raibert’s robot. The proposed control solution is based on formal analysis of the control system on a Lie group. In order to take advantage of Lie group theory a dynamic extension of the robot kinematics is introduced. To cope with non-zero angular momentum the controller based on transverse functions is employed. Properties of the closed-loop control system are investigated based on simulations including practical stabilization at neighborhood of a constant point or a reference trajectory.
An ontology-based approach for integrating heterogeneous databases
Authors: Asgari Reza , Moghadam Milad Gholipoor , Mahdavi Mehregan , Erfanian Aida
Published: September 2015

Integrating heterogeneous data in distributed
databases has been a research issue for many years. In
this paper, we discuss some of these problems and propose
a solution using a semantic model. This semantic
model is built upon the semantic relationships between
existing data. Applying these semantics enables us to take
into account different dimensions of user queries and find
the best possible answer for them. The proposed approach
leads us to introducing "a common language that is understandable
for all databases". We use such a common language
in order to return an effective response to the user’s
query, as well as reducing the problems of integration.
Peer Observation For Online Distance Learning Tutors: Creating The Conditions For Effective Peer Exchange
Authors: Walker Richard
Published: September 2015

This article explores how online distance learning tutors working within a higher education context may be supported in their professional development through participation on an institutional peer observation programme. Drawing on the reflections of participants from two cohorts (2011 and 2012) at the University of York, the article reviews the learning outcomes arising from the peer observation process and investigates the necessary conditions for fostering critical reflection on practice between tutors. Feedback from participants highlighted the importance of investing time in relationship-building at the outset of the process - a necessary first step before free-ranging and critical exchanges can flourish between partners. Pairings which invested time at this stage appeared to develop greater levels of trust, enabling them to probe their tutoring practices in a more critical way and explore areas of perceived weakness as well as tackling emergent themes in their dialogue. These observations have informed the development of a guidance framework for peer exchange at the University of York, which is summarised in the concluding part of this paper.
A Systematic Review Of The Socio-Ethical Aspects Of Massive Online Open Courses
Authors: Rolfe Vivien
Published: September 2015

English Abstract

Massive open online courses (MOOCs) offer learners across the globe unprecedented access to education. Through sophisticated e-learning technologies and web approaches, MOOCs attract massive scale participation and global interest. Some commercial ventures place social equality at the heart of their missions, claiming to empower communities by making education accessible and affordable. In reality, the socio-ethical impact of MOOCs has not been investigated fully, so it is not clear whether they meet these aspirations.

The aim of this study was to conduct a systematic literature review to examine the socio-ethical dimensions of MOOCs. The results showed a paucity of literature specifically addressing the subject in question, although there was evidence of many innovative approaches underway to examine new paradigms within learning analytics and online study behaviour that are emerging because of MOOCs. A small number of papers explored new pedagogic approaches such as conducting peer assessment on a massive scale, and how learning groups connect and establish on the open web.

To conclude, this paper begins to provide a framework on which to consider the socio-ethical dimensions of MOOCs. There is a need for good quality research to provide an evidence-base to ensure MOOCs deliver a socially equitable learning experience.
MOOCS As A Method Of Distance Education In The Arab World – A Review Paper
Authors: Adham Raniah Samir , Lundqvist Karsten Oster
Published: September 2015

Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) in the Arab World are still in their infancy. Many Arab countries are now starting to launch their MOOC platforms; however, there are only a few who have actually implemented such systems. This paper will explore online learning, in particular the rise of MOOCs around the world and their impact on the Arab World.

The purpose of this paper is to give a true picture of the development of the first MOOC platforms in the Arab World. It will analyse in detail the concept, definitions, background, and types of MOOCs (xMOOCs and cMOOCs), as well as the main MOOCs platform in the Western and Arab worlds, and a timeline of the development of MOOCs. It will then observe the status of MOOCs in the developed world, opportunities in the Middle East, and the influence of Western MOOCs on the Arab world, from many perspectives, e.g. educational, religious, cultural and social.
