Designed as both a guide for students and a reference point for scholars, this handbook thoroughly explores the frameworks of key debates related to Torrance's theology, while also suggesting fresh interpretative strategies concerning his thought.
Shakespeare’s Common Language
Authors: Kolentsis Alysia
Published: January 2020

What can developments in contemporary linguistics and language theory reveal about Shakespeare’s language in the plays? Shakespeare’s Common Language demonstrates how methods borrowed from language criticism can illuminate the surprising expressive force of Shakespeare’s common words. With chapters focused on different approaches based in language theory, the book analyses language change in Coriolanus; discourse analysis in Troilus and Cressida; pragmatics in Richard II; and various aspects of grammar in As You Like It. In mapping the tools of linguistics and language theory onto the study of literature, and employing finely-grained close readings of dialogue, Shakespeare’s Common Language frames a methodology that offers a fresh approach to reading dramatic language.
Carnival to Catwalk
Authors: Wild Benjamin Linley
Published: January 2020

From West African masquerades to Venetian carnivals and New York society galas, fancy dress has long been used to convey important social and political messages. The only form of clothing that all people, regardless of gender, race, class or sexuality are likely to wear at some point in their lives, fancy dress is a symbol of both escapism and protest; it stands for a vision of fantasy and fun, while also confronting the reality of cultural stereotypes.

Exploring all the allure, playfulness and daring of dressing up, Carnival to Catwalk takes the reader on a fascinating journey through the global history of fancy dress. Drawing on a treasure-trove of textual and visual resources, the book encompasses Halloween festivities and transvestite clubs, Mardi Gras parades and gatherings at Versailles, revealing how fancy dress has long been used to celebrate as well as to disguise individual identity.

Vividly chronicling evidence from the Middle Ages to the modern day, cultural historian Benjamin Wild throws open the historical dressing-up box and demonstrates the enduring appeal of fancy dress, as it becomes an increasingly central part of modern couture and clothing design. Meticulously researched and beautifully illustrated, Carnival to Catwalk is a remarkable resource for scholars, students and costume enthusiasts alike.
Performance, Medicine and the Human
Authors: Mermikides Alex
Published: January 2020

Performance and medicine are now converging in unprecedented ways. London’s theatres reveal an appetite for medical themes – John Boyega is subjected to medical experiments in Jack Thorne’s Woycek, while Royal National Theatre produces a novel musical about cancer. At the same time, performance-makers seek to improve our health, using dance to increase mobility for those living with Parkinson’s disease or performance magic as physiotherapy for children with paraplegia. Performance, Medicine and the Human surveys this emerging field, providing case studies based on the author’s own experience of devising medical performances in collaboration with cancer patients, biomedical scientists and healthcare educators.

Examining contemporary medical performance reveals an ancient preoccupation, evident in the practices of both theatre and healing, with the human. Like medicine, theatre puts the human on display in order to understand and, perhaps, alleviate the suffering inherent to the human condition. Medical practice constitutes a sort of theatre in which doctors, nurses and patients perform their humaneness and humanity. This insight has much to offer at a time when established notions of the human are being radically rethought, partly in response to emerging biomedical knowledge. Performance, Medicine and the Human argues that contemporary medical performance can shed new light on what it means to be human – and what we mean by the human, the humane, humanism and the humanities – at a time when these notions are being fundamentally rethought. Its insights are relevant to scholars in performance studies, the medical humanities, healthcare education and beyond.

The Business of Beauty
Authors: Clark Jessica P.
Published: January 2020

The Business of Beauty is a unique exploration of the history of beauty, consumption, and business in Victorian and Edwardian London. Illuminating national and cultural contingencies specific to London as a global metropolis, it makes an important intervention by challenging the view of those who—like their historical contemporaries—perceive the 19th and early 20th centuries as devoid of beauty praxis, let alone a commercial beauty culture.

Contrary to this perception, The Business of Beauty reveals that Victorian and Edwardian women and men developed a number of tacit strategies to transform their looks including the purchase of new goods and services from a heterogeneous group of urban entrepreneurs: hairdressers, barbers, perfumers, wigmakers, complexion specialists, hair-restorers, manicurists, and beauty “culturists.” Mining trade journals, census data, periodical print, and advice literature, Jessica P. Clark takes us on a journey through Victorian and Edwardian London’s beauty businesses, from the shady back parlors of Sarah “Madame Rachel” Leverson to the elegant showrooms of Eugène Rimmel into the first Mayfair salon of Mrs. Helena Titus, aka Helena Rubinstein.

By revealing these stories, Jessica P. Clark revises traditional chronologies of British beauty consumption and provides the historical background to 20th-century developments led by Rubinstein and others. Weaving together histories of gender, fashion, and business to investigate the ways that Victorian critiques of self-fashioning and beautification defined both the buying and selling of beauty goods, this is a revealing resource for scholars, students, fashion followers, and beauty enthusiasts alike.
Sirens
Authors: Bull Michael
Published: January 2020

Sirens are sounds that confront us in daily life, from the sounds of police cars and fire engines to, less often, tornado warnings. During the Blitz in London, sirens warned people to move into the safety of air-raid shelters. Yet, in parallel to this, ‘Sirens’ also have a mythical reality as embodied in the meeting between Odysseus and the Sirens in Greek myth, whereby the specter of the ‘Sirens’ embodied the seductive but ultimately destructive power of sound over the human subject.

Ideologies of sirens embody both the protective and the dangerous elements of siren sounds – from the Cold War public training exercises in the US in the 1950s and 60s to the seductive power of the sirens entrenched in popular culture, from Roxy Music to Tom Odell, to filmic representations of the ‘femme fatale’ in Film Noir and beyond. This book argues that we should understand ‘Siren sounds’ as both myth and materiality, embodying both danger and protection. It poses the question of whether we can rely on the sirens, both in their mythic meanings or in their material meanings in contemporary culture
The Bloomsbury Handbook of Sound Art
Authors: Krogh Groth Sanne , Schulze Holger
Published: January 2020

The Bloomsbury Handbook of Sound Art explores and delineates what Sound Art is in the 21st century. Sound artworks today embody the contemporary and transcultural trends towards the post-apocalyptic, a wide sensorial spectrum of sonic imaginaries as well as the decolonization and deinstitutionalization around the making of sound.

Within the areas of musicology, art history, and, later, sound studies, Sound Art has evolved at least since the 1980s into a turbulant field of academic critique and aesthetic analysis. Summoning artists, researchers, curators, and critics, this volume takes note of and reflects the most recent shifts and drifts in Sound Art--rooted in sonic histories and implying future trajectories.
Once Upon a Time Lord
Authors: Phillips Ivan
Published: January 2020

‘Every story ever told really happened...’ (The Doctor, ‘Hell Bent’, 2015)

Stories are, fundamentally what Doctor Who is all about. In Once Upon a Time Lord, Ivan Phillips explores a wide range of perspectives on these stories and presents a lively and richly-varied analysis of the accumulated tales that constitute this popular modern mythology. Concerned equally with ‘classic’ and ‘new’ Who, Phillips looks at how aspects of the Time Lord’s story have been developed on television and beyond, tracing lines of connection and divergence across various media. He discusses Doctor Who as a mythology that has drawn on its own past in often complex ways, at the same time reworking elements from many other sources, whether literary, cinematic, televisual or historical. Once Upon A Time Lord offers an original take on this singular hero’s journey, reading the unsettled enigma of the Doctor in relation to the characters, narratives and locations that he has encountered across more than half a century.

Trayectos en el mapa: artes visuales como representación del conocimiento.
Authors: Macaya Albert
Published: January 2020

La enorme popularización, en los últimos tiempos, del término cartografía está sin duda relacionada con la necesidad de explorar nuevas formas de representar el conocimiento. Más allá de la acepción convencional del mapa como representación de un territorio, hoy hablamos de cartografía para referirnos a las más variadas formas de visualizar conexiones, no solo entre lugares, sino también entre conceptos e ideas. En este artículo relatamos una investigación, en contexto educativo, en la que el mapa (en el sentido más amplio del término) es el instrumento a través del cual un grupo de estudiantes reflexiona sobre su propio aprendizaje. El mapa se convierte en un formato artístico mediante el cual profesor y alumnos dan forma visible al conocimiento compartido. Fundamentaremos la experiencia en dos argumentos: por un lado, el creciente interés por los formatos visuales y artísticos en la investigación educativa, en particular en relación a algunos desarrollos recientes de la investigación etnográfica y la investigación acción participativa. Por otro, las relaciones entre cartografía y artes visuales, que ejercen una influencia ciertamente inspiradora en la investigación planteada.

Dietary fibres are known to provide health benefit and protect against degenerative chronic diseases. Thus, the present study reports the total dietary fibre (TDF) content of sixty-nine selected ethnic and unconventional vegetables and fruits growing in Bangladesh. The samples were collected from different locations of Bangladesh and mixed together to ensure sample representativeness. Dietary fibre assay kit according to the AOAC method was utilized for the analysis of TDF in selected vegetables and fruits. In the ethnic varieties, the TDF content ranged from 1.02 ± 0.16 to 7.16 ± 0.16 g for leafy (LV), 0.18 ± 0.01 to 6.71 ± 0.49 g for non-leafy vegetables (NLV) and 1.21 ± 0.12 to 5.29 ± 0.20 g for fruits per 100 g edible portion (EP).  In the unconventional items, it arrayed from 3.08 ± 0.34 g to 7.75 ± 0.13 g for LV and 1.02 ± 0.06 to 8.82 ± 0.40 g for NLV per 100 g EP. Among the analysed samples, the highest and lowest content of TDF was found in Orohordal and Mairabokong, respectively. The unconventional vegetables contained much higher content of TDF than the ethnics and the commonly consumed similar varieties. Data on TDF content in underutilized vegetables and fruits of Bangladesh is sparse. Thus, the finding of this study would fill up the data gap in the existing food composition table of Bangladesh and also would aware the people to take vegetables and fruits rich in fibres.
Interaction of polyphenols extract from Polygonum multiflorum Thunb. roots with gelatin and toxicity of extract in mice
Authors: Quoc Le Pham Tan
Published: January 2020

The roots of Polygonum multiflorum Thunb. (Vietnamese name: Ha-thu-o-do, HTOD) are used in processed form or the raw state in traditional Vietnamese medicine for many diseases and in extract form in the food industry. Some studies pointed out that HTOD extract had toxicity in humans. However, the toxicity of this herb plant currently remains unclear. In addition, this material contained a large amount of bioactive compounds, especially phenolic compounds. They have a strong antioxidant capacity and they can also interact with many different substrates such as protein, enzyme, lipid and carbohydrate. In this study, the received extracts from HTOD had the polyphenols concentrations of 415, 277, 208 and 166 (mg GAE.L-1), respectively. Besides, we only evaluated the gelatin-polyphenols interaction and the toxicity of HTOD extract in Swiss mice. The results show a strong gelatin-polyphenols interaction and no acute or subacute toxicity in mice. The polyphenols extract of HTOD at the concentration tested in this study is safe to use in food.

Published: January 2020

Indonesia is a country with the largest Muslim population in the world, which is very concerned about halal food. The most problem that’s very concerning nowadays was that food products were contaminated by unclean meat, such as rat meat. The purpose of this study was to authenticate rat fat using Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrophotometry (GC-MS) combined with chemometrics. In this study, rat fat were heated in oven at 90 °C – 100 °C for approximately one hour until the oil came out. After that, the derivatization process was carried out to convert fat into methyl ester compounds using NaOCH3 and BF3. Methyl ester compound than injected into the GCMS instrument system. In addition to rat fat, other fat extraction were carried out, such as pigs, cows, chickens, wild boars, dogs, and goats. The combination of chemometrics Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was used to classify rat fat with other animal fat. Based on the results of the study showed that fatty acids in rats using GCMS produced 6 types of fatty acids, namely: myristat (0.15 ±0.09%), palmitoleate (0.73 ±0.54%), palmitate (19.08 ±3.54%), linoleate (30.14 ±16.90%), oleate (40.48 ±2.74%), and stearate (2.55 ±0.01%). Total content of rat fatty acids was 93.13%, with unsaturated fatty acids 71.35% and saturated fatty acids 21.78%. Chemometrics PCA from rat fat can be grouped with other animal fats.
“The Blow That Comes from Within”: Reading Alcoholic Denial in Fitzgerald's “The Crack-Up” and Other Autobiographies
Authors: Kline Erik
Published: January 2020

This article argues that the relative dearth of critical analyses on Fitzgerald's autobiographical essays generally, and the three “The Crack-Up” pieces in particular, results from tensions in understanding alcoholic denial in a genre already fraught with self-invention and self-evasion. It offers a reading that addresses these tensions head-on by examining the way Fitzgerald codes his denial in these “confessional” efforts. By looking at metaphor and elision, the article argues that Fitzgerald's refusal to confront his alcoholism in his nonfiction is not just public performance, as some critics have argued, but reflects instead an addict's denial both internal and external. By using frameworks from addiction studies and autobiography criticism, its reading of Fitzgerald expands to discuss a heuristic of reading addicts' autobiographies in a larger context. The article navigates the two polar readings of addiction, the romantic genius and the moral failure, to understand the complexities of the link between Fitzgerald's writing and Fitzgerald's biography.
Mourning and Melancholia in The Great Gatsby
Authors: Wolfsdorf Adam
Published: January 2020

Fitzgerald's Jay Gatsby is both created and destroyed by the passionate disposition that gives rise to his feelings for Daisy Buchanan. By the time the novel begins, Gatsby has not seen Daisy for five years, but the power of his intoxicating infatuation has only grown in scope, despite the fact that Daisy has moved on, found a husband, borne a child, and initiated a life without Gatsby. On one level there is something seductively beautiful about Gatsby's pining devotion, but when studied through the lens of Freud's conception of mourning and melancholia, Gatsby's obsession becomes revealed for what it is: a pathological state of grieving that enslaves him. This article shines a light on this pathology and demonstrates how James Gatz's early childhood depravity sets the stage for Jay Gatsby's inevitable demise.
Effect of irrigation water quality on soil properties and infrared spectroscopic signatures
Authors: Comino Francisco , Aranda Víctor , Ayora-Cañada María J. , Díaz Antonio , Domínguez-Vidal Ana
Published: January 2020

Aim of study: To study the effect of irrigation with medium-to-low-quality water on an olive farm that seems to be causing salinity and/or sodicity problems in soils, and the ability of infrared spectroscopy to detect this problem.Area of study: The study was conducted in an olive (Olea europaea L.) grove located in Guarromán (Jaen, Spain), on the boundary of the Sierra Morena Mountains and the Guadalquivir Depression.Material and methods: The olive farm is cultivated over two soil typologies, a calcareous area (carbonated) dominated by Regosols and a siliceous area with Leptosols. Typical soil physical and chemical parameters were determined, as well as near and mid infrared spectra were collected for analysis.Main results: Soil physical properties were affected by irrigation, with low infiltration rates and symptoms of structural degradation. Chemical properties were also altered, showing high pH, low amounts of organic carbon and N, and high sodium concentrations. These effects were stronger in the samples directly affected by the irrigation bulb, with the siliceous soils more affected than carbonated, probably due to the positive effect of the higher amounts of calcium in the latter. Using infrared spectroscopy, it was possible to discriminate the samples of this farm affected by sodicity from similar soil samples in Jaen province not affected.Research highlights: the use of medium-to-low quality irrigation water affected soil physical and chemical properties. Infrared spectroscopy could be useful for quick assessment of soil quality and soil degradation from salinity and sodicity.
POLITICAL SECTOR OF SECURITY
Authors: CHOJNOWSKI Lech
Published: January 2020

Security is of political nature; however, it does not stand for the essence of political security. This security category is a result of the application of the sector security analysis methodology. According to the methodology, all security-related issues are divided into sectors where detailed analyses are conducted with the application of specialized research methods, techniques and means. The use of sector methodology is a consequence of widening the meaning of contemporary security that makes it complex and multidimensional. A comprehensive security analysis can be confined to six sectors: political, military, economic, ecological, societal and common security. The contents of the political security sector are varied and hinged upon the level of analysis and the security subject type the analysis is conducted for. Generally, the political security of political units means the state of the certainty of existence, sovereign functioning and development of its political system. It is achieved as a result of lack of political threats or possession of appropriate capability to protect against them.Crucial to understanding political security are political threats, which are occurrences, processes and activities that can harm the existence, sovereign functioning and development of a political unit’s political system, but only those not included in other security sectors.The article provides a general overview of the political security sector and political security, and can be a starting point for further detailed analysis conducted from the perspective of specific subject categories placed on varied levels of analysis.
GENESIS AND COURSE OF TRANSNISTRIAN CONFLICT AND ATTEMPTS OF ITS RESOLUTION
Authors: LUBICZ-MISZEWSKI Michał
Published: January 2020

The Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic is a quasi-country not recognized by the international community. It constitutes de-jure a part of the Moldavian Republic. In 1992, as a result of a five month, victorious war with Moldavia, separatist Transnistria defended itself and in the following years strengthened its independence. After the end of the military part of the conflict, both countries maintained unfriendly relationships, and any political attempts to settle that conflict have so far been ineffective. It is mainly due to the Russian Federation supporting the separatist republic (the evidence of which is the presence of Russian military forces in Transnistria), the weakness of the Moldavian country and the interest of the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic to maintain the status quo.
ROLE OF EMOTIONAL LAYER IN MUSEUM EXPERIENCE. NARRATION ON THE HOLOCAUST IN CONTEMPORARY HISTORICAL MUSEUM
Authors: NIEROBA Elżbieta
Published: January 2020

The starting point for the discussion are the concepts of Pierre Nora and Alison Landsberg. According to P. Nora, the passing away of eyewitnesses to history transfers the obligation to store the traces of the past onto archiving institutions (including museums). A. Landsberg, in turn, reveals the process in which the mechanisms of memory shaping in the contemporary society become dependent on the state-of-the-art technologies and pop-culture products. Museums of the Holocaust are searching for an appropriate language to talk about the Holocaust in a situation where, like other museum institutions, they have to adjust to the new expectations of the audience, and tailor their space and ways of exhibition to the current cultural conditions and new means of learning. Empirical investigations have proven that nowadays receivers do not merely expect to approach the past intellectually, but also to cross the passive boundary of observation, and desire to have sensual experience of history. From this perspective, the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum as a physical trace of the past, in accordance with Aleida Assmann’s concept of “a memory of place”, provides the visitors with sensual and emotional experience. In its further part, the article presents strategies for using the products of popular culture for processing and describing historical events, the ways of organizing museum space which affects the emotions and the imagination of receivers and invites them to discover history for themselves. Also, it discusses the resulting concerns about the potential trivialization of the communicated message.

SHIFT MINING FOREMAN’S WORKING TIME ANALYSIS
Authors: HELMAN Joanna , STEFANIAK Paweł
Published: January 2020

This paper presents an analysis of a shift foreman’s working processes at the mining division. Based on four days of observations, the working process was divided into five groups of activities (work preparation, transportation to/from work, administration, communication, work in the area of extraction), and then various processes were analysed. In addition, a simplified flow-diagram of working activities was created. The summary of working time was prepared, including different shifts and time frameworks (preparation for work, transportation to a workplace, administrative work at an underground mining office, work in the area of operation, another administrative work at an underground mining office, transportation from a workplace to the surface, administrative work at a mining office). The analysis of four groups of activities (communication was credited to administrative activities) shows that 51% of the time foreman spends on administrative tasks (mainly completing and analysing documents). To the work in the area of operation a foreman devotes 27% of time, to transportation to/from work 17%, and 4% to the preparation for work. Based on the research, Pareto analysis was developed. The Pareto diagram shows that the most important step that brings tangible benefits in terms of mining occupies 30%, but is affected by 70% of the activities performed. An additional document analysis shows that a foreman fills in 11 different documents, where some information is repeated. The list of all the documents filled in by a foreman was made. Also, the frequency of filling in/analysing documents was determined.

OPTIMISATION OF SELECTING TRANSPORT MEANS IN BUILDING MATERIALS DEPOT LOGISTICS
Authors: SKORUPKA Dariusz , DUCHACZEK Artur , SZLESZYŃSKI Artur
Published: January 2020

The Bellinger’s method presented in the paper is an example of how to use it in depot logistics. The authors focus their considerations on the selection of a forklift which could be used for carrying construction materials collected in a depot. The paper describes a basic assumption of the Bellinger’s technique and then evaluates its advantages and disadvantages. The results of the calculations made with the Bellinger’s method, for example, are compared with the calculations made with the Electre III method. Both of those multi-criteria decision support methods produce a ranking of decision variants. The visualisation of this method is shown in the graph in Figure 1. The best decision variant is put on top of the graph, the worst decision variant is put at its bottom. The graph shows that there are no big differences between those two methods. As a result, one can assume that both of them are useful. However, the Bellinger’s method is far simpler to use than the Electre III method, even by an inexperienced user. The calculation algorithm for the Bellinger's method shown in the paper proves that the method is easy to use.
Glosa do uchwały Sądu Najwyższego z 19 października 2018 r. (III CZP 29/18) w sprawie dziedziczności uprawnienia żądania
waloryzacji renty odroczonej
Authors: Wolak Grzegorz
Published: January 2020

Uprawnienie żądania waloryzacji sądowej, przewidziane w art. 3581 § 3 k.c., ma niewątpliwie charakter cywilny i majątkowy. W systemie prawa cywilnego brak jest normy prawnej, która w przypadku śmierci wierzyciela w stosunku zobowiązaniowym wyłączałaby przejęcie tego uprawnienia na jego spadkobiercę
(spadkobierców), bądź która przewidywałaby przejęcie tego uprawnienia na inne osoby niż jego spadkobierca (spadkobiercy). Mogłoby to prima facie przemawiać za dziedzicznością tego uprawnienia, zwłaszcza gdyby przed otwarciem spadku wierzyciel oświadczenia pieniężnego, któremu ono przysługiwało, dać wyraz temu, że przystępuje do jego realizacji przez zgłoszenie przed sądem stosownego żądania. Sąd Najwyższy był jednak innego zdania uznając w glosowanej uchwale z 19 października 2018 r., III CZP 29/181
, że: „Prawo podmiotowe do żądania zmiany wysokości świadczeń pieniężnych (art. 358 § 3 k.c.) spełnianych na podstawie umowy renty nie wchodzi do spadku nawet wtedy, gdy powództwo obejmujące takie żądanie zostało wytoczone jeszcze przez spadkodawcę”

The National Museum of Finland is repatriating their entire Sámi collection to the Sámi museum Siida in Inari. This article illustrates the type of collected material that is to be returned, and what kind of tradition of representation the Sámi museum Siida will have to deal with in the repatriation. A remarkable part of the Sámi collections in the National Museum of Finland has been provided by the well-known Finnish Lappologist, T. I. Itkonen. Due to his many research trips in 1912–1927, altogether 91 per cent of his collections originate from the Skolt Sámi area in the Pechenga region and Kola Peninsula. In exhibitions curated by Itkonen for the National Museum, the Skolt Sámi objects seem to have been relatively well represented, although subjected to the almost compulsory representation of reindeer herding. Because of Itkonen’s collection, the repatriation of the whole Sámi collection of the National Museum to the Siida Sámi Museum has an especially poignant meaning for the Skolt Sámi community.
The disappearance of the Sea Sámi as a cultural display category
Authors: Baglo Cathrine
Published: January 2020

While the Sea Sámi had a prominent position in an industrial exposition held in Tromsø in northern Norway in 1870, this category of display was no longer present in an industrial exposition held in the same city in 1894. In this article I explore this change and how the display of Sámi culture at the Tromsø expositions fit into a larger societal picture. Moreover, I argue that the creation of material regimes emphasizing reindeer herding culture as the only genuine Sámi culture, contributed to the marginalization of the Sea Sámi early on in an exhibition context.
The role of museum institutions in relation to research on Sámi culture, history, and society in Norway until the post World War II years
Authors: Storm Dikka
Published: January 2020

This article examines the roles of two Norwegian museums; the Ethnographic Museum in Oslo and Tromsø Museum in Northern Norway, in relation to the production of Sámi research from the end of the nineteenth century until the Post World War II years. By emphasising the academic development of Ole Solberg, Just Qvigstad, Gutorm Gjessing, Knut Kolsrud and Ørnulv Vorren and the development of professional networks, the article calls attention to the establishment of a research strategy in 1913, the establishment of the Institute of Comparative Research in 1923, and the effects of these for studies of Sámi culture and society. Moreover, the article argues that the ethnographer Ørnulv Vorren and Tromsø Museum became important contributors to the advancement of Sámi research and the bolstering of the Sámi ethno-political movement.
The Samekulturen exhibition. A social actor at the Tromsø University Museum
Authors: Fonneland Trude
Published: January 2020

In 1973, the exhibition entitled Samekulturen (The Sámi Culture) opened its doors to the public for the first time, and for over forty years this exhibition has served as an important arena for the dissemination of Sámi culture to tourists, students and other visitors. Exhibitions have social and political consequences. Samekulturen as a social actor that contributes to the production of knowledge is the point of departure for this paper. In the view of the museological and ethno-political contexts in which Samekulturen was produced, the exhibition will be analysed as a historical document revealing how museological practices related to the representation of the Sámi have evolved over time.
Jan Zouhar jubilující – aneb Co není ve slovníku
Authors: Jemelka Petr
Published: January 2020

The text introduces Jan Zouhar as an important representative of contemporary Czech philosophy. It is an attempt to cover the breadth of his philosophical thinking, which extends from the historiography of Czech philosophy to some remarkable overlaps. For instance, we can mention the position of philosophy in the context of our spiritual culture, the place and role of tradition at present, and a reflection on the role that philosophy plays in human life.
T. G. M.: Problém filozofie osobnosti, jeho vztahy a souvislosti
Authors: Pospíšil Ivo
Published: January 2020

The presented contribution analyses – in the context of Jan Zouhar’s research scope and also on the background of the professional interests of the immortalized František Kautman (1927–2016) – the ‘philosophy’ of T. G. Masaryk’s (1850–1937) work. At the beginning, there are new publications on his alleged origin from the family of the Austro-Hungarian monarch, further their fictionalization, the investigation of his late sexual life and, last but not least, the flow of his juvenile correspondence with Zdenka Šemberová (1841–1912). For her, this communication was full of erotic and intellectual hopes which were not fulfilled and led to her lifelong loneliness and resignation, especially after the death of her father Alois Vojtěch Šembera (1807–1882), professor of Vienna Slavonic studies, one of the first opponents of the medieval authenticity of the legendary Czech Manuscripts, all of this on the background of the life of the university and Czech Vienna, where they both lived, and the adjacent Moravia. Masaryk, with his weak knowledge of standard Czech, Šemberová, at that time already a mature lady, record in their correspondence the course of their lives, their opinions, readings, and document their intellectual maturing. Their correspondence represents evidence of the lives of both: Masaryk was gradually becoming a scholar and mainly a politician, and understood their correspondence, from which Zdenka expected also an amorous fulfilment, as a mere practical exercise in stylistics and a confrontation of opinions. Their correspondence throws a new, not always favourable light on the youth of the future Czechoslovak president. Already there, the elementary features of his personality were taking their shapes.
Robert Konečný a jeho písemná pozůstalost v univerzitním archivu
Authors: Pulec Jiří
Published: January 2020

In January 2018, Masaryk University archives obtained an extensive written estate of Robert Konečný (1906–1981), an associate professor of philosophy and professor of psychology at Masaryk University, the pioneer of health-care psychology in Czechoslovakia, a poet and author, and a major figure of resistance to Nazism. Robert Konečný’s personal files, which belong among the best preserved items in the university archives, were organized and made accessible during 2018. Extensive correspondence mainly includes collections of letters from key figures of Czech literature, philosophy and psychology. A remarkable part of the estate consists of texts of Konečný’s lectures and speeches as well as documents on his educational activity in radio and television broadcasting. The files also represent a valuable source for the study of resistance to Nazism in Moravia. An extensive set of manuscripts, typescripts and prints from the fields of psychology, philosophy and literature can serve as a basis for the preparation of Konečný’s bibliography.
K pojetí kultury u Gillese Lipovetského
Authors: Holzbachová Ivana
Published: January 2020

With a bit of exaggeration, it could be claimed that Lipovetsky’s lifetime work has focused on (contemporary or post-modern) culture. Surprisingly, Lipovetsky has never defined the concept of culture. It is, thus, necessary to reconstruct it from his work. The presented paper analyses the concept of culture on the background of Lipovetsky’s account of fashion. This account is very broad. Lipovetsky emphasises that fashion covers a large area extending from clothing, social intercourse and religion all the way to an account (and self-constitution) of man. In this regard, Lipovetsky puts special emphasis on the development of individualism in modern society. He also points out inconsistencies in the understanding and the manifestations of individualism.
A Practical Approach to Diagnosis of B-Cell Lymphomas With Diffuse Large Cell Morphology
Authors: King Joy F. , Lam John T.
Published: January 2020

Context.—

Large B-cell lymphomas represent the most common non-Hodgkin lymphomas and often present as extranodal masses with advanced stage similar to metastatic tumors. Without proper intraoperative, microscopic, immunophenotypic, and cytogenetic evaluation they may be mistaken for other hematopoietic or even nonhematopoietic tumors. Also, diffuse large B-cell lymphomas often have clinical, morphologic, immunophenotypic, and cytogenetic clinical features that are similar to those of other less common B-cell lymphomas. Furthermore, classification of these neoplasms is continually becoming more refined.

Objective.—

To provide a rational, methodic approach to the evaluation of large B-cell lymphomas for community practice pathologists who provide general pathology services.

Data Sources.—

This review incorporates guidelines detailed in the 2017 update to the World Health Organization's Classification of Tumours of Haematopoietic and Lymphoid Tissues in addition to other recent peer-reviewed publications.

Conclusions.—

Many large B-cell neoplasms respond favorably to current treatments, but these cases also require accurate and timely diagnoses. We propose a process following a brief checklist that focuses on diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, the most common entity, and rules out other similar lymphomas in a stepwise fashion.
Chinese farmers’ attitude towards the improvement of animal welfare in their facilities

Published: January 2020

This study sought to investigate Chinese farmers’ attitude towards animal welfare by using the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB). According to the TPB, an individual's intention to behave in a certain way is determined by his/her attitude towards the behaviour (specific attitude — importance — and general attitudes), the perceived behavioural control (easiness), and the supposed opinion of the people who are important to him/her (subjective norms). A total of 253 questionnaires were used, which included the three main animal productions in China (swine, poultry and cattle). Chinese farmers have perceived the improvement of animal welfare as two abstracts: general attitudes (reward-seeking, and empathic farmer); and four specific categories of actions (favourable environment, animal health, humane treatment of animals and farmers’ well-being). Our analysis revealed that general and specific attitudes were the strongest predictors of farmers’ intentions to improve animal welfare in the questionnaire study. In fact, Chinese farmers considered it fairly important to improve the animal welfare measures considered in the survey. In contrast, the same animal welfare measures were considered difficult to improve by the farmers as indicated by the lack of association between the easiness of improving animal welfare and the intentions. In addition, veterinarians, agricultural advisers, and scientific experts were considered to be relatively influential subjective norms as regards the activities of the farmers. This is the first study to provide an insight into the underlying meanings and values of Chinese farmers’ views on improvements to animal welfare.
