Clarifications on the Legal Terminology in the Constitutional Court Jurisprudence
Authors: Vida Ioana Cristina , Moroșteș Anca
Published: July 2018

The legal terminology represents a specialised language by which both the lawmaker and the person implementing the law focus on a pre-established communication channel which guarantee for the stability, the accessibility and the predictability of the law, as well as on the juridical security. In the situations when the law moves away from various reasons from the unanimously agreed meaning, imbalances are triggered in practice. In order to re-establish the balance of the law, the Constitutional Court intervenes in decisive situations. Thus, our instance of constitutional contentious has been seized on the exception of non-Constitutionality of the provisions of the art. 249 par. (1) of the Criminal Law in 1969 and of the art. 298 of the Criminal Law. The authors of the exception asked the Court to notice that the provisions of the art. 298 of the Criminal Law are constitutional only in the measure when the phrase “it fails to accomplish it” from their contents mean “it accomplishes it by breaking the law”.
The Fidejussor’s Early Regression in the Insolvency Proceedings
Authors: Lucaciuc Ștefan Ioan
Published: July 2018

The early regression of the fidejussor implies his ability to "turn" against the debtor even before he pays something to the creditor „To turn against“ in the sense of the new Civil Code, does not mean the right to actually receive a payment before the fidejussor has paid, at least in part, the claim of the creditor in whose favor he has guaranteed. The same principle applies in insolvency proceedings where the fidejussor, who has not paid anything yet, may exercise early regression, but his claim against the debtor will be a potential, conditional one, reason for which it will be included in the debt table under suspensive condition, without voting rights.
Teachers' Perceptions of Refugee Students in Turkish Schools
Authors: Dogutas Aysun
Published: July 2018

Children need attention, especially those who have no home, family, school or friends. Refugee children are compelled to leave all of their belongings and to begin a new life in a place they have no idea or knowledge about. Educational institutions, teachers and friends are important for children. Can refugee children find what they expect from life in countries they migrated to? This study aimed to find out how refugee children experience life in a new place they resettled. The purpose of this article was to examine the way teachers identified and addressed the needs of refugee children as they encountered the standard curriculum in a state school in Denizli, Turkey, during the 2015–2016 school years.

The method of the study is phenomenology. Seven teachers at the school provided information through semistructured interviews. Data were analysed by coding and trying to find themes and categories. Results showed that in order to achieve a successful educational program for refugee children, teachers should seek multicultural education to learn about students' backgrounds, including social and cultural values.

Analyzing synaptic plasticity at the single cell level with STDP
Authors: Edelmann Elke , Leßmann Volkmar
Published: July 2018

Using patch clamp recordings in acutely isolated brain slices allows to investigate molecular processes that are involved in long-term potentiation (LTP) and long-term depression (LTD) at the level of a single postsynaptic neuron. Via the pipette solution in the recording pipette, it is possible to apply inhibitors of signaling cascades selectively into the postsynaptic neuron to unravel the molecular mechanisms of synaptic plasticity. In recent years, LTP research has been increasingly focused on induction protocols for LTP and LTD that rely on a minimal number of repeated synaptic stimulations at low frequency to induce synaptic plasticity. This is where spike timing-dependent plasticity (STDP) comes into play. STDP can be induced by repetitive pairings of action potential firing in presynaptic (first neuron) – and postsynaptic (second synaptically connected) neurons, that occurs with a delay of roughly 5–20 ms in forward or backward manner. While forward pairing with short positive time delays (“pre before post”) leads to LTP, backward pairing (“post before pre”) leads to LTD. In addition to the exact sequence and timing of pre- and postsynaptic spiking, the presence of neuromodulatory transmitters in the extracellular space (e. g., dopamine, acetylcholine, noradrenaline) and the synaptic release of intercellular mediators of synaptic plasticity (e. g., BDNF, endocannabinoids) critically regulate the outcome of STDP protocols. In this review we focus on the role of these mediators and modulators of synaptic plasticity in STDP.
Swirling flow of couple stress fluid due to a rotating disk
Authors: Khan Najeeb Alam , Khan Nadeem Alam , Ullah Saif , Naz Farah
Published: July 2018

The main objective of the present investigation is to examine the couple stress fluid flow occurring as a result of rotation of a disk. On implementing a suitable transformation, the governing system of partial differential equations (PDEs) is converted into nonlinear differential equations of a single independent variable. These equations are solved analytically by virtue of the Homotopy Analysis Method (HAM) which gives solutions in the form of a series. The solution of most of the governing problems is determined in terms of the absolute exponential and decaying functions by means of this powerful technique. To support analytic results, some graphs are plotted for determining the convergence of the solution. Also the graphical interpretation of velocity profiles corresponding to the effects of pertinent parameters are shown and discussed in detail. The numerical results are calculated for evaluation of the influence of fluid parameter. It can also be anticipated that the radial and axial velocity components show decreasing behavior due to rise in the values of couple stress parameter which conflict the behavior of the tangential component of velocity.
Application of QLM-Rational Legendre collocation method towards Eyring-Powell fluid model
Authors: Parand Kourosh , Mirahmadian Fatemeh , Delkhosh Mehdi
Published: July 2018

In this paper, a spectral method based on the rational Legendre functions is discussed to approximate the solution of the boundary layer flow of an Eyring-Powell non-Newtonian fluid over a stretching sheet. At first, because of the model is a nonlinear ordinary differential equation, we construct a sequence of linear ordinary differential equations (ODEs) by using the quasilinearization method (QLM). By applying QLM on the ODEs at each iteration, the equations convert to a system of linear algebraic equations. The present results have shown the high attention and convergence of our method, and the residual error of the present results are very small. In addition, the effect of the Eyring-Powell fluid material parameters is explained.
Nonlinear Dynamic Response of an Axially Functionally Graded (AFG) Beam Resting on Nonlinear Elastic Foundation Subjected to Moving Load
Authors: Alimoradzadeh Mehdi , Salehi Mehdi , Esfarjani Sattar Mohammadi
Published: July 2018

In recent years, structures made of Functionally Graded materials (FGMs) are used in industries due to the continuously compositional variation of the constituents in FGMs along different directions. In order to develop FGMs, nonlinear vibration analysis to study dynamic behavior is needed. This study proposes nonlinear vibration analysis of a simply supported axially functionally graded (AFG) beam subjected to a moving harmonic load as an Euler-Bernoulli beam utilizing Green’s strain tensor. Axial variation of material properties of the beam is based on the power law. The governing equations of motion are derived via Hamilton’s principle. The Galerkin’s method is implemented to reduce the nonlinear partial differential equations of the system to a number of nonlinear ordinary differential equations. He’s variational method is applied to obtain approximate analytical expressions for the nonlinear frequency and the nonlinear dynamic response of the AFG beam. The effect of some parameters such as the power index and stiffness coefficients, among others, on the nonlinear natural frequency has been investigated. The influence of above mentioned parameters as well as the velocity of the moving harmonic load on the nonlinear dynamic response has been studied. The results indicate that these parameters have a considerable effect on both nonlinear natural frequency and response amplitude.
Engineered porous calcium silicate as paper filler: effect of filler morphology on paper properties
Authors: Song Shunxi , Zhen Xiaoli , Zhang Meiyun , Li Lin , Yang Bin , Lu Peng
Published: July 2018

Developing engineered filler with special morphology to increase filler content and deliver paper desirable properties has been deserved much concern. In this work, two engineered calcium silicate fillers with different morphology, namely fly ash based calcium silicate (FACS), fibrous calcium silicate (FCS) were adopted to investigate the effect of filler morphology on paper properties, and natural wollastonite was used for comparison. It is found that FACS exhibits a wrinkled, porous surface while FCS reveals spherical agglomerates composed of needle-like particles. Physical tests demonstrated that in comparison with natural wollastonite with discrete shape, the aggregated porous structure of FACS and FCS showed noticeable improvement in bulk and opacity due to their high specific surface area (112 m2/g v.s 29 m2/g). At around 40 % filler content, the bulk of FACS and FCS filled handsheets increased 59.6 % and 43.8 %, respectively. The findings suggested that the engineered porous calcium silicate can be potentially used as paper filler in light weighted paper.
Quick estimation for pollution load contributions of aromatic organics in wastewater from pulp and paper industry
Authors: Wei Zhimin , Li Youming , Hou Yi
Published: July 2018

Quick and accurate estimation of organic pollution load such as COD in wastewater is very important for the implementation of cleaner production, especially in pulp and paper industry. In order to find the contribution of pollution load of aromatic organics, several non-aromatic and aromatic organics were studied. Results indicated that there was a good linear correlation between theoretical COD (ThOD) and composite parameters of ln(C + H)/O, which is calculated from the amount of C, H and O atoms in the molecular formula. From the regression line equation of ThOD vs ln(C + H)/O, it is found that the gradient of the aromatic ring regression line is lower than that of other acyclic compounds, which may be ascribed to aromatics which were hard to oxidize in measurements of COD. An actual COD well matched to the ThOD estimated for common aromatics with phenolic and non-phenolic structures often appeared for wastewater from pulp and paper industry, with a relative error rate of ± 5 %. Ideal recovery rates of these, 95 % to 105 %, were achieved. This work provides an effective method for quick and accurate estimation for pollution load contributions, which is important for contamination control and progress in industry.

Authors: Watanabe Takuro , Sano Tomomi , Ito Hiroshi
Published: July 2018

In a study of antistatic transparent plastic for optical communication purposes, we previously prepared cyclo olefin polymer (COP)/BN105 composite material and confirmed the improvement of dust resistance as well as good antistatic property on the surface of the molded product. In this study, BN105 composite material using fluorene-based polymer (FBP) as base polymer was newly prepared and the injection molded product was evaluated. In the results, the surface electric resistivity of the molded product was reduced to 6.69×1011 Ω/sq and good dust resistance similar to that of COP/BN105 was shown. In addition, the dispersion state of additive molecules inside the BN105 composite molded product was observed by transmission electron microscope, and molecule weight distribution measurement was also conducted for the molded product.

Published: July 2018

An investigation of the dust acoustic shock waves as well as solitary waves in an unmagnetized dusty plasma consisting of fluid of negatively charged dust grains, superthermal ions, and Maxwellian electrons under the influence of superthermally modified polarization force is presented. The polarization force is significantly influenced by superthermal ions. Reductive perturbation technique has been used to derive the Korteweg-de Vries-Burgers equation. It is illustrated that the superthermal polarization force significantly alters the characteristics of the negative polarity shock and solitary waves. It is also examined that the soliton energy gets depleted by the influence of superthermal polarization force.

Using Time Domain Reflectometry to Determine Depth of Fouling and Fouling Type in Railway Track Substructure
Authors: Alsabhan Abdullah , Fratta Dante , Warren Benjamin J. , Tinjum James M. , Edil Tuncer B.
Published: July 2018

This study documents the development of a procedure for the identification of the depth and type of ballast fouling using the time domain reflectometry (TDR) technique. Ballast fouling leads to a reduction in the bearing capacity of the railway substructure, a decrease in the drainage capacity, and an increase in track deformation. As a consequence of these detrimental effects, rail tracks lose load capacity, ride comfort deteriorates, and trains may ultimately derail. The determination of type and extent of ballast fouling may be used to assess the expected life of rail track and to plan maintenance operations. TDR waveforms of variably fouled ballast and subballast layers were evaluated in the lab to yield relative dielectric permittivity and electrical conductivity and to thus characterize the effect of ballast gradation, mineralogy, and water content on electromagnetic response. Strong relationships between depth of fouling, volumetric water content, and relative dielectric permittivity were developed. These results were then expanded to the interpretation of ground penetrating radar (GPR) inspection and to quantify the level of fouling in larger-scale maintenance operations. The proposed technique can be complementary to GPR as it reduces the uncertainty in determining the depth and type of fouling when using GPR alone.

Abstract:

Introduction: Dyspnea caused by bilateral vocal cord paralysis often requires surgical intervention to prevent acute asphyxiation. The regeneration of the laryngeal nerves may last weeks or months and it is difficult to predict the outcome. In the past decades, several open and endoscopic surgical techniques have been introduced for treatment to avoid tracheostomy, however, these procedures with resection of the glottis resulted in irreversible changes in the laryngeal structure, thus the voice quality decreased over a long-term period. Aim: Endoscopic arytenoid abduction lateropexy is an accepted reversible, minimally invasive technique that provides an immediate patent airway by the lateralisation of the arytenoid cartilage with a suture. The aim of our study was to analyze the phonatory and respiratory outcomes of this treatment concept. Method: Two patients suffering from bilateral vocal cord palsy were treated with endoscopic arytenoid abduction lateropexy. After recovery of the vocal cord movements, the sutures were removed. Spirometric and phoniatric results of the two patients were analysed after suture removal. Results: Good spirometric parameters and normal voice quality were detected in both cases. Conclusions: These results prove the high reversibility of the minimally invasive endoscopic arytenoid abduction lateropexy. Lateralization suture can be removed in the case of vocal cord movement recovery, and phonation may be physiological. Orv Hetil. 2018; 159(29): 1188–1192.

How U.S. Conservatives Perceive and Respond to International Nutrition Issues, and How to Shape Messaging for Successful Advocacy
Authors: Dyer Jennifer Eaton , Heuser Brian Lloyd
Published: July 2018

Since 1990, tremendous strides have been made in global health and development toward achieving the Millennium Development Goals. With a united front of forces, including governments, coalitions, private sector, foundations, philanthropic organizations, and the faith community, millions of lives have been saved from extreme poverty and disease. Yet, some issues enjoy more robust funding and notoriety than others. For instance, AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria enjoy the majority of the U.S. foreign assistance funding in global health. Nutrition, notably, has remained stagnant for decades. Through this research, we sought to test the appetite for increased funding for international nutrition and food security issues among Political, Religious, Social Conservatives (PRSCs), and the General Population (GP) to gauge perception and response to the issue and its correlates. Our objective with these national surveys was to understand the best choice of language to promote awareness, education, and prompt advocacy for global nutrition and food security issues. With this research, we found that conservatives were motivated by national security issues first and at a macro-level, not their faith, finances or moral foundation. We recommend that education be enhanced among conservatives regarding U.S. foreign assistance, nutrition funding and implementation, and nutrition-related terminology, including stunting, wasting, and anemia. Moreover, we recommend communicating strong narratives about mothers, children, and infants, particularly a child’s first 1,000 days, from conception to two years, which has proved to elicit the most positive response among all messaging.

This article develops a bibliographical exploration that has as an objective to analyze how the enigma of subjectivity can be thought and reflectioned from on attention frame to diversity, where the thing that pretends to safeward for the sake of reducing exclusion and discrimination processes, it is the recognition of the other as a single being. What does the educational practice show when efforts point at giving diversified attention and to recognize students individuality? Being the diversity a multifacetic construct, this one should turn to the intersubjective plan of nature and its essence deserves to be tackled from an interdisciplinary scaffolding whose basis is represented by philosophy, psychoanalysis and social science. In this way it opens to stage that interpelles for history and subjective construction of teaching staff and student body in general. Underlining the social function that school has not as an agent of knowledge but a subjectivity producer. To resignify theacher/student experience in this globalization and consumerism time, there will have to become in a capital subject that invites to reflect about the link that has been weldering between educational task and psychoanalytic act in such a way that results imprescindible in the investigation field, to preponderate the dynamic of transference and to privilege the desire of both subjects.
Topical Application of Insecticidal Active Ingredients v1
Authors: J. Norris Edmund , R. Coats Joel
Published: July 2018

The development of new insecticidal formulations is important to overcome the burgeoning hurdle of insecticide resistance in field populations of mosquitoes and other pest arthropods. In order to standardize the testing of current and future small molecule chemical agents as insecticides, specific protocols should be shared, broadly endorsed, and certified among public health entomologists to decrease the variability in toxicological endpoints observed between laboratories. As variability in toxicological data can result due to differencesamong sub-populations acquired from the field, experimenter, environment, etc., it is paramount to diminish the effect of factors that contribute to variability in scientific protocols, whenever possible. We propose the utilization of a single topical application protocol that will aid in the characterization of both current and future (in development) insecticidal active compounds. This protocol may be utilized to calculate the theoretical dose required to kill a specific percentage of a pest population (e. g. LD25, LD50 , LD95) and to compare the toxicity of insecticides in a given pest population or sub-sample. Moreover, it may allow for the evaluation of insecticide resistance to be quantified compared to a given susceptible strain. The adoption of this protocol by numerous testing laboratories should decrease the variability in data observed between different researchers and increase the translatability of toxicological characterizations within the scientific community.

A typical picture of «ugly place»: a damaged landscape; typical development from two to seventeen floors; some of the first floors adapted to public functions; conglomeration of cars; external engineering highways; inescapable dirt; lack of a natural range; absence of objects of culture and public spaces; poor quality of services and food; alienation in relation to each other; alcohol shops; excessive distances; undeveloped public transport; lack of identity of place and unique objects; blurring of borders; compositional chaos of development. Then you can pay attention to the dull expression of people: and what, in fact, to expect? The article considers architecture and environmental design as the most rational tools for emerging from oblivion and depression into the world of identity and beauty.

Published: July 2018

The paper deals with the outstanding architect of the 20th century, pioneering the change of the architectural paradigm and, in fact, promoting the ideas of «freedom» from the cliché of «eternal truths». The Austrian architect Hans Hollein is one of the representatives of the generation of humanistic postmodernism (doctrine, that combines rather contradictory models). The paper draws attention to the contribution of the master to the evolution of the architectural language, particularly the refusal to follow the strict guidelines of the «technological» direction, which considers technology to be the self-sufficient fact. The attention is focused on the projects of «the proponent of freedom», which influenced European urbanism.
ARCHITECTURE AND CONSOLIDATION: MEGALYTICAL MATRIX
Authors: Lezhen Mikhail Yur'evich
Published: July 2018

The article presents the hypothesis of the origin of the symbolic spatial form as such: by contradicting the axiom about the housing origin of architecture, it considers the need for social consolidation as an objective source and driving force of architectural shaping. The semantic analysis of the simplest primitive «psychological» stones (megaliths) and the logical method of the «black box» make it possible to reveal a unique mechanism of social cohesion, an effective spiritual matrix that reproduces human unification at the conceptual level, replacing the congenital «social-biological» instinct. The resulting functional model of architectural shaping gives, on the one hand, the tool of the historical analysis of architecture, and on the other hand, methodical and professional applications with respect to actual architectural practice. The logical conclusion of the study is the definition of architecture as a social institution of consolidation and, consequently, of the fundamental national project.

Background: Revised and redefined biomedical waste management (BMWM) rules 2016 are an area of immediate focus for the health care personnel amidst the menace created by improper disposal of health care waste, emergence of multi drug resistant superbugs and harmful emissions.Methods: The present cross sectional study was conducted in Rajiv Gandhi Super speciality hospital, Tahirpur, an upcoming referral hospital in east Delhi, India. The study was merged with the training sessions conducted in 13 phases. A self-administered questionnaire pertaining to biomedical waste management rules 2016 knowledge, awareness and practices was used for data collection.Results: Of the 100 respondents consisted of 50 doctors, 30 nurses and 20 technicians, about 54% of HCP were aware about modifications in waste categories. Approximately 42% of the respondents could define sharp waste correctly while 56% had the clarity of changed specifications of BMW bags. Safe injection practices were followed by 47%.Conclusions: Doctors were aware that there had been revision in the biomedical waste management rules in 2016 and its legal aspect but nursing staff was better in the practical implications of the same while the technicians lagged behind in both. It is of prime importance to reinforce comprehensive teaching programmes, spot trainings for the staff and continuous medical education in our hospital setting.

Neste trabalho é apresentada uma metodologia de projeto de controladores robusto com estrutura PI/PID, em seguida é realizada uma avaliação experimental aplicada a um conversor de potência CC-CC do tipo Buck. A estratégia de projeto de controladores é baseada em análise intervalar, considerando a variação de parâmetros do sistema, dentro de uma determinada região de incertezas. Tais incertezas podem ser decorrentes de erros de modelagem, variações no ponto de operação do sistema ou variações nos valores dos componentes do sistema. O projeto do controlador é baseado em uma extensão intervalar da técnica de alocação de polos, seu desempenho foi avaliado experimentalmente, submetendo-se o sistema a variações do ponto de operação, em decorrência de variações dos parâmetros do conversor Buck. Os resultados experimentais demonstraram que a metodologia robusta proposta, obteve um desempenho superior a metodologia clássica, quando o sistema é submetido a variações paramétricas, dentro da região de incertezas previamente definida pelo projetista.
Preserving the Environment within the ASEAN Skies: Lessons from the European Union Emissions Trading Scheme
Authors: Nugraha Ridha Aditya
Published: July 2018

The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change also known as the Kyoto Protocol has set up a framework to reduce carbon emission. The environmental issue is also being addressed at the international aviation sector through the International Civil Aviation Organization’s resolutions. As an international organization sui generis, the European Union (EU) has decided to take up a further step with the enactment of the EU Emissions Trading Scheme. The latter has obliged both EU and non-EU airlines to comply with its ambitious goal controlling aviation emissions. However, the legal framework had triggered international objections from legal perspective due to infringement towards the Chicago Convention of 1944 and the international customary law principles. Considering of the nature of the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) as an international organization without a supranational law order; as well as recent developments in regards to legal framework on emissions, the future of ASEAN skies from an environmental perspective seems uncertain. However, if ASEAN Emissions Trading Scheme shall take place, they should learn from the EU Emissions Trading Scheme past mistakes and the International Civil Aviation Organization resolutions to prevent non-discrimination towards non-ASEAN member states’ airlines from happening.
The Restriction of Suffrage in the Perspective of Fair Election in Indonesia

In order to ensure the suffrage of citizens is implemented according to the principle of fair election, regulations on general and local elections may contain various kinds of restriction of suffrage. The rights to vote as well as be voted must be restricted in a way that the process of election may run seamlessly and generate a government capable of exercising the mandate of the people. However, such restriction must be performed in a fair and proportionate manner. The restriction must not cause uncertainty or even distinction of treatment towards the citizens. By means of normative legal research, this research comes to a conclusion that restriction of suffrage in general and local elections have yet been performed fairly. Legal uncertainty in the restriction of suffrage still occurs. Simultaneously, different treatment towards citizens who intend to nominate themselves is still contained in the norms related to the requirements to vote and be voted.
The Challenges of Water Pollution: Enforcement of Water Pollution Control
Authors: Utama I Made Arya , Suharta I Nengah
Published: July 2018

Water demand continues to increase, while its availability was increasingly limited due to pollution. Therefore, the issue of legal sanction in the management of water resources was interesting to be examined because of the void of norm related to the sanction of administrative, civil and criminal sanction in Article 87-120 of Act Number 32 of 2009. So, this research was qualified into normative legal research with legal material from result of library research. The type of administrative legal sanctions were more effectively applied to protect water resources from pollution. Administrative Legal Sanction was not implemented through the judges, more easily and quickly implemented in providing protection against water resources, compared with sanctions of Criminal Law and Civil Law.
Formalization as the Immanent Part of Logical Solving
Authors: Непейвода Н. Н.
Published: July 2018

The work is devoted to the logical analysis of the problem solving by logical means.
It starts from general characteristic of the applied logic as a tool:
1. to bound logic with its applications in theory and practice; 2. to import methods and methodologies from other domains into logic; 3. to export methods and methodologies from logic into other domains.
The precise solving of a precisely stated logical problem occupies only one third of the whole process of solving real problems by logical means. The formalizing precedes it and the deformalizing follows it.
The main topic when considering formalization is a choice of a logic. The classical logic is usually the best one for a draft formalization. The given problem and peculiarities of the draft formalization could sometimes advise us to use some other logic.
If axioms of the classical formalization have some restricted form this is often the advice to use temporal, modal or multi-valued logic. More precisely, if all binary predicates occur only in premises of implications then it is possible sometimes to replace a predicate classical formalization by a propositional modal or temporal in the appropriate logic. If all predicates are unary and some of them occur only in premises then the classical logic maybe can replaced by a more adequate multi-valued. This idea is inspired by using Rosser–Turkette operator $J_i$in the book [22]. If we are interested not in a bare proof but in construction it gives us it is often to transfer to an appropriate constructive logic. Its choice is directed by our main resource (time, real values, money or any other imaginable resource) and by other restrictions.Logics of different by their nature resources are mutually inconsistent (e.g. nilpotent logics of time and linear logics of money).
Also it is shown by example how Arnold’s principle works in logic: too “precise” formalization often becomes less adequate than more “rough”. DOI: 10.21146/2074-1472-2018-24-1-129-145

Published: July 2018

Artykuł ukazuje socjologiczne i moralne dylematy współczesnych liberalnych demokracji wynikające z przyjęcia przez liberalizm charakteru radykalnie sekularnego. Autor podejmuje tak kwestię źródeł tego stanu rzeczy, jak i paradoksów wynikających z poszukiwania przez te społeczności uzasadnień stanowisk moralnych.
"Populizm” jako protest wobec nadmiernego uniwersalizmu i obrona zakorzenienia
Authors: Delsol Chantal
Published: July 2018

Punktem wyjścia analizy jest spostrzeżenie, że „oskarżenia o populizm” w istocie odsłaniają kryzys demokracji, w którym część ludu uznaje się za niezdolną do głosowania. Autorska śledzi źródła i odmiany interpretacji populizmu, ukazując podobieństwa i różnice w procesach odrzucania „głosu ludu” w logice totalitarnej i demokratycznej. Ukazując problematyczność stygmatyzacji współczesnego populizmu, w toku analizy dyskutuje tezę, głoszącą że „populiści” mogą być bliżsi ideałowi „obywatela” niż współczesne, wykorzenione, elity.

Autor podkreśla, że nie ma się do czynieniaz dwoma przeciwstawnymi ruchami antropologicznymi, od wiary (fides) do rozumu(ratio), drugi od rozumu w kierunku wiary, ale z pewnym znacznie głębszym dynamizmem.Od wiary w to, co jest jej przedmiotem do wewnętrznej racjonalności tejostatniej. Wychodząc od Wydzarzenia Paschalnego, Autor zauważa, że nie chodzio interpretowanie rzeczywistości, ale o uchwycenie formy „myślenia: i inteligencji,jakie mogą wyłonić się z interpretacji tego Wydarzenia.
