„Wyobrażenia geopolityczne” jako przedmiot badań współczesnej geografii politycznej
Authors: Potulski Jakub
Published: May 2020

The theories of Henri Lefebvre on the Production of Space have influenced our understanding of the ontology of space. The processes of constructing and “appropriating” space are important elements of man’s political activity. Space is not neutral: its alleged objectivity is treated in a voluntary manner, depending on political demand. The importance given to geographical space and the supposed “laws” governing history are instruments of political indoctrination or propaganda justification of the pursued policy pursued. Space is political and ideological. Borders, political maps and states are the products of human political activity; they are “socially produced”. In contemporary political geography, the theme of “the production of space” is very popular. The main goal of the article is to analyse the currently important research category – “geographical imaginations”. This category is mainly used to understand our perception of space and the roots of political conflicts.
The Globalisation of Peripheries
Authors: Niedźwiecki Artur
Published: May 2020

The author attempts to investigate connections and interdependencies between periphery countries and the globalisation process, including the attitude of these countries to unification blocs, such as the European integration project. The basic research tool used in this work is a systemic analysis, as well as the core-periphery method, derived from social sciences. Its fundamental hypothesis is that the decline of the liberal architecture of the globe may translate into the periphery’s tendency to abandon real convergence in favour of the fragmentary imitation of supranational bodies, potentially leading to intensified disintegration tendencies within phenomena, such as the consolidation of Europe. In the past, the powerless core of the community only contemplated the imitative Europeanisation of marginal territories. Today, however – because the idea to construct a homogeneous polity has collapsed – postulates of “multi-speed” integration can lead to the reconstruction of the historical division into the core and periphery of the old continent.
Spór między saintsimonistami a furierystami o własność ziemi w kolonialnej Algierii w XIX wieku
Authors: Popowicz Kamil
Published: May 2020

In the nineteenth century, the French utopian socialists, Saint-Simonians and Fourierists, developed different concepts of the colonisation of Africa. These concepts collided in Algeria. The Saint-Simonians were impressed by the Arab system of the tribal ownership of land. They wanted to preserve it and ultimately bring the two peoples, the Arabs and the French, together in the spirit of a commune. On the other hand, the Fourierists wanted to expropriate Arabs from their land and hand it over to the French colonists so that they could build new economic communities of a phalanstery type. This article presents the theoretical disputes between the two schools and also describes the actual practical consequences of these disputes for the French colonial politics.
The Manager of Providence? Contemporary Catholic Thought Regarding Environmental Problems in the Light of Encyclical Laudato Si’
Authors: Jastrzębski Bartosz
Published: May 2020

Opposing ecology to Catholicism, or vice versa, has no dogmatic, theological or philosophical foundations – it is a purely rhetorical and political maneuver. Catholicism is, and must be, deeply ecological – although this necessity has not always been properly displayed (but it should also be admitted that circumstances did not require this). This is clearly evidenced by both biblical testimonies confirming the value of every being and the reflection of Tradition within the theology of creation. Similarly, in this context, there are no grounds for invoking the “holy property right” (as some conservative liberals and “libertarians” are willing to do) to justify the robbery and destruction of nature. Within the Catholic doctrine, property law is by no means holy, only conditional, and does not absolve us from treating property as a common good at the same time. Of course, this does not mean that Catholic teaching promotes in any way formal and legal restrictions on the right to property – such ideas have been repeatedly and decisively rejected by the Church. The limitation of the right of ownership is moral here – it is a postulate of justice and responsibility. At the same time, it is an expression of anthropological realism: we, all individual people, die, all families and nations expire and the earth, air and water remain. We are obliged to respect it. Opposing the good of the environment to the welfare of human communities makes no sense. Only extremely shallow and superficial reflection can build and invoke such oppositions. In general, this is not a reflection at all, but only an attempt to create ad hoc justifications for obtaining an easy income at the expense of the environment. With the current population of our planet, no one can perceive themselves or their immovable property as absolutely autonomous. We will be able to meet most of the most serious challenges related to environmental changes only when we understand our own responsibility for all living creatures along with their and our entire environment.
Myślenie według wartości. O „drugim” w filozofii Józefa Tischnera
Authors: Dawidowicz Bożena
Published: May 2020

Man and specifically human experiences define the space of Józef Tischner’s philosophy. The main thread of thinking about man is “the experience of the other” through which is born the “I”, the subject of Tischner’s philosophy of drama, in which fundamental issue is the meeting. Contemporary man, usually locked in his narrative of monadic life, is wary of the other. However, personal growth does not happen alone, but with the other. Man is not enough for himself, he needs confirmation and recognition of the other. From the meeting with the other begins a drama which cannot be predicted. Through the drama that happens between “I” and you, the participants are open to the world of values and the agathological and axiological horizon of existence is before them. From the other, as Tischner notes, a call is coming to save him. By axiological thinking, one should try to solve the problem of the tragedy of the situation in which the other was found. This is thinking about the other according to value. The primacy of good over evil is revealed in the recognition of human freedom which is the essence of the relationship with the other.
Rozważania nad człowiekiem w teorii Erazma Majewskiego
Authors: Szumera Grażyna
Published: May 2020

The subject of the article is the concept of a man formed by a Polish philosopher and sociologist Erazm Majewski (1858–1922). A special attention was paid the premises, which as defined by Majewski, enabled a man to cross the borders of the animal world. Anthropological studies conducted by Majewski contributed to a deeper understanding of an exceptional being, i.e. man. Majewski made an attempt to solve the riddle of man from the perspective of both natural history and sociology.
Re-thinking soft power: China, Russia and the European Union in Central Asia
Authors: Longhurst Kerry , Nitza-Makowska Agnieszka , Skiert-Andrzejuk Katarzyna
Published: May 2020

This paper seeks to bring the concept of soft power into the spotlight and to provoke discussion about its application and relevance to China, Russia, and the European Union in the context of their respective approaches to the Central Asian states of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan. The region offers up a viable test-bed to consider the roles of these three external actors. The paper also hopes to initiate discussion about the theoretical and conceptual implications of viewing China and Russia as Soft Powers given that the basic assumptions behind existing research is that soft power is intimately tied to the promotion of democracy, liberalism and ultimately the spreading of Western values. By way of a conclusion, the paper will attempt to bring some clarity to core questions about the relevance of soft power research and to then map out how a future research agenda might be developed, especially in relation to non-Western powers.
Socjalizm, świeckość, wolny rynek i hindutwa. Indyjska narracja o państwie i jego ideologii w perspektywie historycznej
Authors: Kłodkowski Piotr
Published: May 2020

The Republic of India, as probably the most culturally and religiously diverse country in the world, has built a very unique socio-political system which is based on cross-cultural compromises between various  communities. The ideological foundations of secularism and socialist development were implemented by Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru. For almost half a century, they symbolised the identity of the state and constituted the essential elements of every official narrative by the Indian National Congress. Nehru was also the maker of India’s main foreign policy vectors, which were generally approved by subsequent  governments. Although the ideology of socialist development was eventually replaced with a free market economy, the concept of secularism remained relevant in the public sphere. The author presents the gradual process of socio-economic transformation and describes the international context of building the image of the country in the 20th century. With the Bharatiya Janata Party coming to power in 2014, the old philosophy of Nehruvian secularism is gradually being undermined by the followers of Hindutva, Hindu fundamentalists. The author analyses the three-layered narratives constructed by the ruling coalition and widely promoted both at home and abroad. The third layer, being most radical, is directed against the Muslim community which is the biggest religious minority in India. The Hindutva ideology, although not always clearly postulated by the current government, may contribute to communal polarisations and the eruption of interfaith violence in the years to come.
Polityka bezpieczeństwa i obrony Australii w drugiej dekadzie XXI wieku wobec wzrostu potęgi Chin
Authors: Jureńczyk Łukasz
Published: May 2020

The subject of the article is the security and defence policy of Australia in the 2010s in view of the rapidly growing power of the People’s Republic of China. The article analyses issues such as the potential, values, interests and threats of Australia; strategic dimension of Australia’s security and defence policy; Australia’s cooperation with the United States in the context of the rise of China; and Australia’s attitude towards China’s assertive actions in the Asia-Pacific. The aim of the article is to analyse and evaluate Australia’s security and defence policy towards the growing power of China. The main research problem is included in the question of whether Australia adequately and sufficiently responds to the increasing military potential of the Middle Kingdom. The thesis of the article assumes that while the directions of Australian policy are justified, its scale is insufficient. The most important elements in securing interests in the context of China’s growing power is increasing its own defence capabilities and deepening multi-faceted cooperation with allies and partners of the Pacific region. This must be accompanied by caring for the correctness of relations with China and efforts to reduce tensions between the People’s Republic of China and the United States. The article is based on the theory of structural realism of the defensive type. The article uses the method of source text analysis.
Dziedzictwo kulturowe na obczyźnie: chinoiserie w dyplomacji kulturalnej Polski i Chin
Authors: Tomczak Marta
Published: May 2020

Cultural heritage is used to promote political ideas and economic initiatives these days. It is not only a political construct but also a useful tool in both reaching domestic political goals (for instance, building one’s national identity) and developing international relationships (building soft power). This case study focuses on the cooperation of public and private institutions over the project of revitalisation of the Chinese Alley and building a Chinese garden in the Royal Łazienki Museum in Poland between 2012 and 2014. Using the concept of ‘heritage diplomacy’ coined by Tim Winter (2015), this paper analyses the relationship between the key actors that participated in the project and those who have been benefi tting from its results. The analysis shows how cultural heritage becomes an element of strategy in foreign relations in order to strengthen international and interinstitutional relations and how the political actors benefit from the outcomes of conservation and promotion of cultural heritage. It also makes it possible to identify the motivation of various actors while engaging in conservation of heritage on domestic and international levels.
Wiele przeszłości jednego narodu. Nauczanie historii jako element budowy tożsamości w indyjskich podręcznikach rządowych i nacjonalistycznych
Authors: Iwanek Krzysztof
Published: May 2020

This article compares history teaching in two types of Hindi-language textbooks used in India. One group of sources includes textbooks issued by the National Council of Educational Research and Training, a central public institution. The other one contains those published by Vidya Bharati Akhil Bharatiya Shiksha Sansthan, a network of private schools run by Hindu nationalists. The objective of this study is to analyse what political, identity-building purposes these two conflicted narratives on history reveal. Unsurprisingly, the author’s conclusion is that the Hindu nationalist textbooks are biased in a number of ways. They portray India as continuously assaulted by foreign forces across the ages and united by the Hindu religious traditions. The government textbooks also stress Indian national unity at times but do not build it on the bedrock of Hindu religious traditions. While part of their contents is tilted politically to the left, they are still more balanced than the publications of Hindu nationalists. They recognise diversity much more, challenge some of the common myths and biases, admit India’s various historical challenges and include perspectives of various social groups to a certain degree. The article’s concluding remarks also muse on whether and in what ways such debates on Indian history affect the country’s present domestic politics and foreign policy.
Funkcjonowanie miast Azji Południowo-Wschodniej w ramach międzynarodowych sieci współpracy
Authors: Kamiński Tomasz
Published: May 2020

Although climate policy is formulated at national and supranational levels (for example, the European Union, the United Nations), cities are responsible for its practical implementation. As a consequence, actions taken by local authorities are becoming an important factor in the success of global climate policy. One of the cities’ activities is sharing environmental knowledge within international city networks. This form of international cooperation is also becoming increasingly popular in Southeast Asia.This article analyses the participation of Asian cities in the three most important networks dealing with the exchange of ecological knowledge: C40, City Net and ICLEI. Based on interviews with representatives of all surveyed networks and the city officials of Quezon City, Philippines, I present the characteristics of cities functioning in networks, in particular the knowledge flow model, which has a certain postcolonial feature but also promotes social dialogue and cooperation with local partners.
Hongkong AD 2019. Przyczyny i kierunki rozwoju protestów w Specjalnym Regionie Administracyjnym ChRL
Authors: Zamęcki Łukasz
Published: May 2020

Civil disobedience flooded Hong Kong in 2019. However, protests have changed its character since the last massive demonstrations in 2014. This article outlines direct and contextual reasons for the outbreak of protests in Hong Kong in 2019 from the perspective of Bert Klandermans’s model. The aim of the research is also to indicate the directions of protests in this Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China. The findings presented are the result of the author’s field work carried out since 2012. It should be emphasised that the protests in Hong Kong are the result of the progressive mainlandisation of the region, and in the deeper layer – of the socio-economic problems of citizens. The protests in 2019 brought a change in the tactics of manifesting civil disobedience.
Bezpośrednie inwestycje zagraniczne we francusko-chińskiej współpracy gospodarczej w kontekście dwustronnych relacji Unii Europejskiej z Chinami
Authors: Radomska Ewa
Published: May 2020

The goals of the paper are: to analyse the scale and nature of foreign direct investments (FDI) in the economic cooperation between France and China; to explain the main reasons for the Chinese capital commitment in the form of FDI in the European Union (EU) and France as well as French one in China; and to identify the conditions and barriers in the flow of FDI and the main activities undertaken by France and the EU to introduce more symmetry in relations with China. The following research hypothesis has been adopted: FDI are an important element of the economic cooperation between France and China, which is developed despite barriers including differences in potentials and asymmetry in market access. In the face of China’s growing activity in the global economy, noticing the benefits, France does not question the bilateral relations but puts more emphasis on the need to create coherent and coordinated strategy towards China at the EU level. This analysis allowed formulation of a few main conclusions. The recent dynamic inflow of Chinese FDI to the EU (including France) is closely connected with China’s measures aimed at reinforcing its position in the global economy. The dynamic and nature of Chinese FDI coming to France and other EU countries, asymmetry in access to markets, the Belt and Road Initiative, changes in the US trade policy and divisions among EU member countries pose challenges to the EU. France is fully committed to creating a common EU strategy towards China and restoring the balance within the EU-China strategic partnership.
Carl Schmitt: Positionen and Begriffe. The Difference Between Politics and the Political
Authors: Kaczorowski Paweł
Published: May 2020

The subject of consideration is the relationship between politics and the political, as it is presented in two dissertations by Carl Schmitt from the 1920s: the famous Der Begriff des Politischen and the most extensive work from this period – Verfassungslehre. The thesis of the article is that, contrary to the fairly widespread interpretation of both these phenomena, that is, politics in the common sense and its special form to which Carl Schmitt referred as the political, should not be treated as explanandum and explanans, but as separate, co-occurring and somewhat complementary phenomena. While politics involves state actions for the public interest, ideologically defined according to classic political categories, the political is a sphere of specific actions in the special space of relations sometimes formed between collective entities, defined by the terms enemy-friend, a space cognitively diagnosed by Carl Schmitt. The political is not a real form of politics, but a form of action in the sphere of collective life other than politics, which is essentially important for building the structure of the state. The disclosure of the political in the activities of individual countries is an important element of analysis in foreign policy, an element of analysis of a situation within international relations. Revealing the political as a kind of arcana imperi of state actions, Carl Schmitt appears not only and not primarily as a neutral theoretician of politics, but as a German national political thinker, analysing primarily the situation of Germany in relation to the Entente countries at a very special moment in the history of twentieth-century Europe.
Taking Human Rights Not Too Seriously
Authors: Mazurkiewicz Piotr
Published: May 2020

The doctrine of human rights is undergoing a difficult test today. On the one hand, we are dealing with a recurring question about its universality. Is it only an expression of Western anthropological sensitivity and should therefore be observed only in the West, or does it refer to human nature as it is and should therefore be observed everywhere, including in Islamic civilisation? On the other hand, secularisation detaches the doctrine from its theistic sources, resulting in its positivisation. Human rights in this version would only be the result of agreements between people and, therefore, like any other social contract, could be freely changed or reinterpreted. An example of such a reinterpretation of the doctrine is the proposal to recognise abortion as a human right. The author also addresses these issues from the position of Catholic social teaching and raises the question of the consequences of these changes for the Church and its official absolute or conditional support for the doctrine.
Was there an Alternative to the Balcerowicz Plan? Shaping the Economic Policy of Solidarity Camp in 1989
Authors: Kozłowski Tomasz
Published: May 2020

The article describes the shaping of the Solidarity’s economic policy in 1989 (from the elections in June until the implementation of the assumptions of the so-called Balcerowicz plan). The analysis includes both discussions between economists who support the Solidarity movement (such as Leszek Balcerowicz, Janusz Beksiak and Ryszard Bugaj) and the influence of international financial institutions and foreign creditors of Poland (such as the International Monetary Fund). The article presents the history of adopting neoliberal patterns of transformation, such as a centrally controlled economy and free market.
The Sustainable Development Ideology
Authors: Roszkowski Wojciech
Published: May 2020

The author treats the concept of sustainable development as an ideology in which ecological assumptions have replaced economic assumptions, and humanity is still considered a means of action, not an end. The author illustrates the meaning of this ideology by showing its history from the report of the Club of Rome from 1972, through subsequent reports of this club and its head Lester R. Brown, up to UN reports entitled Agenda 2021 and Agenda 2030. The author analyses this latter document and the guidelines contained in it based on the assumption that the population of the Earth should be limited, also mechanically, at the expense of the death of unborn children, rather than by a more even distribution of goods, which would decrease the population growth in a natural way. According to the author, these assumptions can be seen in the approach of the signatories of these documents to the issue of the overpopulation of the Earth and in their uncritical support for the controversial theory of anthropogenic global warming. Many objectives of these agendas include slogans that sound extremely noble, but are practically impossible to achieve or their  implementation would limit the freedom of farming and civil liberties in general.
Richard Pipes: A Life Against the Tide (1923-2018)
Authors: Łysek Wojciech
Published: May 2020

The article discusses the life and work of the outstanding Sovietologist Richard Pipes, who was born in a Polonized Jewish family in Polish Cieszyn. After an adventurous trip to the United States in 1939 and 1940, he graduated in history from Harvard University and devoted himself to scientific work. For the next half a century, Pipes dealt with the historical and contemporary aspects of Russia. In his numerous publications, including more than 20 monographs, he emphasised that the Soviet Union continued rather than broke with the political practice of tsarist Russia. In his professional work, he thus contested views prevailing among American researchers and society. From the 1960s, Pipes was involved in political activities. He was sceptical about détente, advocating more decisive actions towards the Soviet Union. Between 1981 and 1983, he was the director of the Department of Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union in the National Security Council in the administration of President Ronald Reagan. Although retiring in 1996, he did not give up his scientific activity. Pipes died on 17 May 2018; according to his last will, his private book collection of 3,500 volumes has been donated to the Institute of Political Studies of the Polish Academy of Sciences.

Published: May 2020

The development of technology has a big impact on human life. The existence of a machine translation is the result of technological advancements that aim to facilitate humans in translating one language into another. The focus of this research is to examine the quality of the google translate machine in terms of vocabulary accuracy, clarity, and reasonableness of meaning. Data of mufradāt taken from several Arabic translation dictionaries, while the text is taken from the phenomenal work of Dr. Aidh Qorni in the book Lā Tahzan. The method used in this research is the translation critic method.

The results showed that in terms of the accuracy of vocabulary and terms, Google Translate has a good translation quality. In terms of clarity and reasonableness of meaning, google translate has not been able to transmit ideas from the source language well into the target language. Furthermore, in grammatical, the results of the google translate translation do not have a grammatical arrangement, the results of the google translate translation do not have a good grammatical structure and are by following the rules that applied in the target Indonesian language.

From the data, it shows that google translate should not be used as a basis for translating an Arabic text into Indonesian, especially in translating verses of the Qur'ān and Hadīts. A beginner translator should prefer a dictionary rather than using google translate to effort and improve the ability to translate.

Indeed humans live in a specific environment and receive the language of this environment by acquiring it with a certainty of its vocal, grammatical, and semantic, as well as with knowledge of social rules in understanding and producing speech. Although linguists agree on this fact in language acquisition, they differ in their views on the acquisition process. Every opinion is based on a theory towards the nature of language. This research aims to explain and evaluate the linguistic theory in Arabic heritage. The researcher reads deeply the references, After a comprehensive understanding is formed on the object of the research, the researcher analyzes and realizes this information. The results of this research indicate that the Arabic heritage took place in the various theories presented by Arab linguists, namely “analysis” and “classification”. The various assumptions and theories used by the Arab linguistic heritage to classify the language and to describe it can be combined in an interference group of circles representing the general structure of the linguistic classification theory, as the various assumptions define and visualize their location from each other. So, the Arabic lesson needs to be reviewed and described as taxonomic rather than a standard lesson.

IEEE 802.15.4e introduces deterministic and Synchronous multi-channel extension (DSME) MAC mode to provide deterministic performance. To do so, the super frame structure is divided into multiple contention access slots and contention free slots. However, the standard does not specify the number of devices to access each DSME slots. In this article, we exploit fuzzy logic to group the devices based on the nature of traffic and vary the duration of DSME slot according to the traffic requirements of the devices. Further, we analytically evaluate the collision probability, throughput, energy consumption and delay of DSME mechanism. Results show that the optimal amount of DSME slots associated with fuzzy logic significantly improves efficiency and reduces energy usage.. Finally, extensive simulations are conducted using ns-3 to validate the analytical results.

Automatic detection of disease is crucial in health care management to evaluate large patient data. The early diagnosis and treatment of disease are an important task to prevent the patient from death. The various researchers have contributed to the development of disease diagnosis. But still, it causes the more risk for identifying the patient health conditions. In order to improve the disease diagnosing accuracy, A Kernelized Normal discriminant Feature Selection based Borda count bootstrap aggregating Classification (KNDFS-BCBAC) technique is introduced for identifying the patient health condition and critical factor analysis with higher accuracy and lesser time. At first, radial basis kernelized normal discriminant analysis is used to identify the relevant feature for minimizing the complexity of disease diagnosis. After selecting the relevant features, Borda count bootstrap aggregating Classifier is applied to classify the patient data as abnormal or normal by constructing the weak learner as bivariate correlated regression tree. Then, the diseased data is considered as a training sample for analyzing the critical factor and classifies the patient data level as the initial stage, critical stage based on the threshold range of features value. By applying the Borda count voting scheme, the weak learner results are combined into strong. In this way, disease diagnosis and critical factor analysis of patient data are performed with greater accuracy and minimal time complexity (TC). Experimental is performed with tumor dataset on metrics namely disease diagnosis accuracy (DDA), false alarm rate (FAR), and TC. The observed results evident that KNDFSBCBAC technique achieves higher DDA with lesser complexity and FAR than the conventional methods.

Squeezed Branch Pile is derived on the basis of caste in place concrete pile. It has one or more branches along the pile shaft at design depth. Squeezed branch piles are often used in high rise building, transmission tower and in other pile foundations where anticipated uplift or vertical load may cause failure. This pile is one of the excellent options of pile foundation for soft soil and silty soil. The behaviour of Squeezed Branch pile is difficult to explain using simple pile-soil theories or two dimensional numerical analyses because of complicated geometry of pile.In the present numerical analysis, a 3D pile-soil model of conventional circular pile and squeezed branch pile foundations are analysed using MIDAS GTS NX finite element software to find out effectiveness of squeezed branch pile over conventional pile. The aim is to study the performance of Squeezed Branch Pile foundation in silty clay with respect to various parameters such as types of loading, branch diameter, branch spacing and number of branches. Analysis shows that the squeezed branch pile has higher vertical, lateral and uplift load capacity as compared to conventional pile.

Face recognition has become relevant in recent years because of its potential applications. The aim of this paper is to find out the relevant techniques which give not only better accuracy also the efficient speed. There are several techniques available for face detection which give much better accuracy but the execution speed is not efficient. In this paper, a normalized cross-correlation template matching technique is used to solve this problem. According to the proposed algorithm, first different facial parts are detected likes mouth, eyes, and nose. If any of the two facial parts are found successfully then the face can be detected. For matching the templates with the target image, the template rotates at a certain angle interval.
