Published: March 2021

La ansiedad es una condición clínica de orden creciente a nivel mundial, y especialmente en el ámbito nacional. Dentro de estos se encuentran las fobias específicas, que se presentan cuando el miedo irracional es causado por un estímulo determinado. El presente estudio tuvo como objetivo determinar la capacidad de un ambiente de realidad virtual para ocasionar variaciones en las respuestas psicofisiológicas en pacientes con fobias específicas a animales. La muestra estuvo conformada por 14 personas; el 92,85 % responde a mujeres mayores de edad, a quienes se les hizo una entrevista semiestructurada, se expusieron a un ambiente de realidad virtual, y se monitorearon las variables psicofisiológicas. Los resultados no evidenciaron diferencias significativas en la activación psicofisiológica en cada uno de los niveles. En conclusión, la cuarta parte de la población tenía zoofobia, el 46,15 % tenía fobia a ratones, el 30,76% a las cucarachas y el 7,69 %, en un porcentaje igual, a las arañas, sapos y serpientes. Las mujeres son las que más padecen fobia específica, con un 92,85 %. Finalmente, la frecuencia cardiaca, conductancia de la piel y temperatura se pueden considerar como variables que pueden evidenciar la respuesta de un sujeto ante un entorno de realidad virtual.
La historia de la literatura de México y la literatura española en El Museo Mexicano (1843-1846)
Authors: Amores Montserrat
Published: March 2021

En uno de los periodos clave en la conformación de la nación mexicana, El Museo Mexicano (1843-1846) se presenta como un medio idóneo para contribuir a su construcción. En la revista los textos literarios y los dedicados a la historia y a la crítica literarias mexicanas muestran un continuo diálogo con la literatura española que se descubre como un referente problemático. El artículo estudia, por un lado, el lugar que ocupa la literatura española en la revista mexicana teniendo en cuenta su importancia para el establecimiento de la periodización de la historia de la literatura y del canon, a través del análisis de un artículo de Guillermo Prieto; por otro, la presencia de escritores españoles coetáneos que se proponen como modelo en la revista y las redes establecidas con la publicación madrileña El Laberinto en la segunda época del semanario mexicano.

Authors: Aman Zainab , SALEH Norman Mohd , SHUKOR Zaleha Abdul , JAFFAR Romlah
Published: March 2021

Objective - The objective of this paper is to investigate the relationship between family ownership and corporate sustainability reporting to determine how the role of board independence affects the relationship between those variables within Malaysian listed companies.
Methodology/Technique – The annual reports of 771 listed companies from 2014 to 2016 were analyzed using content analysis methods. The study uses agency theory to develop the hypotheses.
Findings - The study found that family ownership is negatively related to corporate sustainability reporting. The finding shows that independent directors are unable to influence the relationship between family ownership and corporate sustainability reporting. The findings of this study are expected to provide insight to authorities in relation to the factors that could enhance corporate sustainability reporting primarily in family-owned companies.
Novelty - Previous studies have only focused on environmental and social dimensions of corporate sustainability, whilst this study addresses all the 3 dimensions of sustainability (economic, environmental, and social). This paper is one of the first attempts to investigate the roles of board independence on the relationship between family ownership and corporate sustainability reporting in Malaysia.
Type of Paper: Empirical.
JEL Classification: M14, M41.

Authors: Bazarova EL , Fedoruk AA , Osherov IS , Roslaya NA , Babenko AG
Published: March 2021

Introduction: The titanium industry continues to build capacity and introduce innovative technologies driven by high demand for the metal and its alloys. High occupational risks of diseases of the respiratory and circulatory systems, diseases of the skin, and changes in hematological indices were established for titanium metal production workers. The objective of our study was to assess the occupational risk from exposures to titanium in the composition of industrial aerosols for the health of workers in the modernized areas of metallurgical production. Materials and methods: Our risk assessment was based on findings of periodic health examinations and doctor’s visits; we estimated the relative risk (RR) and used χ2 criterion to evaluate the statistical significance of the results. Results: We observed significantly higher incidence rates of diseases of the skin, ear, respiratory and musculoskeletal systems with temporary disability and higher rates of chronic diseases of the skin, respiratory and digestive systems in the titanium metal production workers compared to the workers of the same industrial enterprise unexposed to titanium and its alloys. Chronic diseases developed quicker in the exposed workers of all age groups than in the controls. The prevalence of hematologic disorders, such as high hemoglobin levels, thrombocytopenia, leukocytosis, lymphocytosis, and monocytosis was also higher in the exposed group. In the workers exposed to titanium concentrations exceeding the maximum permissible concentration (MPC) of 10 mg/m3 in the workplace air, we noted significantly higher rates of chronic diseases of the skin and digestive system, elevated hemoglobin levels, and a rising trend in the prevalence of chronic diseases of the circulatory system, high blood pressure, overweight, and thrombocytopenia in comparison with those working in permissible conditions. Conclusions: We revealed a strong correlation between occupational exposures to airborne titanium and chronic skin diseases and a medium correlation for leukocytosis and monocytosis.
Hygienic Characteristics of the Acoustic Environment in the Mi-8 Helicopter Cabin
Authors: Kharitonov VV
Published: March 2021

Introduction: The Mi-8 helicopter generates high-intensity broadband noises by its turboshaft engines whereas a comprehensive hygienic assessment of the acoustic environment in the helicopter cabin has not been conducted. The purpose of the study was to assess the acoustic environment in the Mi-8 helicopter cabin. Materials and methods: Acoustic measurements were carried out on the ground, inside the central cabin of the Mi-8 helicopter in three operating modes of the turboshaft engines: at startup, in the idle mode, and during cruise flight in the “right correction” mode. Measuring microphones were placed during the recording of the signal on a stand at the level of the human ear at six points located next to the reclining seats in the cabin. Acoustic indicators were measured using an SVAN-945A digital sound level meter and a GRAS 40AZ microphone. The collected data were processed in accordance with the requirements of sanitary and epidemiological rules, sanitary standards, and general tactical and technical requirements of the Air Force. Results: Values of regulated noise indicators at the seats of the Mi-8 helicopter crew, sound pressure levels of the most significant tonal frequencies in its central compartment were measured. To establish the presence of tonal noise, a one-third octave analysis of the recorded acoustic signals was carried out. In the central compartment of the helicopter, the values of the regulated infrasound indices and the general sound pressure level were measured in the entire regulated frequency range. Discussion: It was found that the sound pressure levels in almost all sound octaves and the equivalent sound level in all operating modes of the helicopter engines exceed the permissible exposure limits while in the infrasound region they are within the normal range (except for the frequency of 16 Hz). Thus, the class of working conditions by noise corresponds to hazard class 3.3, and by infrasound – to class 2. According to the sanitary regulations, helicopter crews should use noise suppressors to protect themselves from high noise exposures through air and bone conduction. Conclusion: The existing risks of developing a noise and infrasound-induced diseases necessitate constant monitoring of working conditions and health of the crews of Mi-8 helicopters.

The Application of Centrifuge Test to Analyse Surface Displacement in Front of Tunnel Face
Authors: Tuan Nguyen Anh , Minh Nguyen Trong Anh
Published: March 2021

In this paper, the author performed two centrifuge model tests at the University of Science and Technology of Hong Kong for two cases where the tunnel was located at Cover over Diameter (C/D) of 1.5 and 3.3 to investigate the passive failure and deformation mechanism due to tunnelling in two-layer soils: sand and clay. The tests were carried out on a 1/100 scale miniature model. The experimental process simulated the progress of the tunnel face with a speed of 0.2 mm/s (equivalent to 15 m per day in practice), displaced to 40 mm and then stopped. Linear variable differential transformers are used to measure the ground transitions during the testing process. Particle image velocimetry technology measures the movement of soil in front of the tunnel face. The load cells were attached to one end of the tunnel face in order to obtain the passive pressure exerted on the tunnel face. As the tunnel face displaces, the ground in front of the tunnel face is shifted forward, while the ground that is far from the surface of the tunnel is pushed outward; the effect on the ground thus causes the ground to emerge, and so form a breakout. The partial failure mechanism in front of the tunnel face is similar to the localised cutting mechanism. When the observation failure mechanisms are idealised by continuous lines, the failure mechanism of the ground in front of the tunnel face is shaped like a funnel.

Published: March 2021

Land cover is a critical factor for climate change and hydrological models. The extraction of land cover data from remote sensing images has been carried out by specialized commercial software. However, the limitations of computer hardware and algorithms of the commercial software are costly and make it take a lot of time, patience, and skills to do the classification. The cloud computing platform Google Earth Engine brought a breakthrough in 2010 for analyzing and processing spatial data. This study applied Object-based Random Forest classification in the Google Earth Engine platform to produce land cover data in 2010 in the Vu Gia - Thu Bon river basin. The classification results showed 7 categories of land cover consisting of plantation forest, natural forest, paddy field, urban residence, rural residence, bare land, and water surface, with an overall accuracy of 73.9% and kappa of 0.70.

Authors: Hamzah L.M. , Nabilah S.U. , Russel E. , Usman M. , Virginia E. , Wamiliana
Published: March 2021

The Vector Autoregressive Model (VAR) is one of the statistical models that can be used for modeling multivariate time series data. It is commonly used in finance, management, business and economics. The VAR model analyzes the time series data simultaneously to arrive at the right conclusions while dynamically explaining the behavior of the relationship between endogenous variables, as well as endogenous and exogenous variables. From time to time, the VAR model is influenced by its own factors via Granger Causality. In this study, we will discuss and determine the best model to describe the relationship among data export value of Indonesia's agricultural commodities—coffee beans, cacao beans and tobacco—where the monthly data spans the years 2007-2018. Several models are applied to the data, such as VAR (1), VAR (2), VAR (3), VAR (4) and VAR (5) models. As a result, the VAR (2) model was chosen as the best model based on the Akaike’s Information Criterion with Correction, Schwarz Bayesian Criterion, Akaike’s Information Criterion and Hanna-Quinn Information Criterion for selecting statistical models. The dynamic behavior of the three export variables of Indonesian coffee beans, cacao beans and tobacco is explained by Granger Causality. Furthermore, the best model VAR (2) is used to forecast the next 10 months.

Authors: Uwayed Ahmed , Abbood Mazin Y. , Alden Arz Y. Qwam
Published: March 2021

In structural engineering, detection of internal damage at the earliest possible stage of failure is one of the most significant factors for ensuring safety and reliability, and for limiting costs; this is critical to many practical applications. Several techniques to detect damage in engineering applications have been proposed in the literature; however, there is no consensus on which are the most effective. This study aimed to investigate the dynamic response of internal damage that occurs in an aluminum cantilever beam. This study describes a new technique to identify the internal damage within isotropic materials. Internal damage assessment of the beam was performed using a linear perturbation-free vibration study in ABAQUS (made by Finite Element software), to investigate the effectiveness of the damage detection technique. A damage detection scheme is evaluated for several scenarios varying by damage location and size, by relating fractional changes in modal energy to changes in natural frequency response parameters. The behavior of healthy and damaged beams are compared, and it is observed that the mode shape may be an effective method to detect damage.The intent of this work focuses on the best technique to identify the position of tiny damages within isotropic materials, and identifying the size of these damage points.

Published: March 2021

Job satisfaction, leadership, meeting effectiveness, and organizational commitment have become the subjects of numerous research papers, due mainly to their vital roles in the development of organizations. We based our research on previous studies related to leadership, meeting effectiveness, job satisfaction, and organizational commitment and an empirical study. The authors emphasize the influence of leadership on meeting effectiveness and the impact of the mediating role of job satisfaction on the relationship between meeting effectiveness and organizational commitment, increasing more employees’ commitment to their organizations. Our research aims to show whether leadership has a positive effect on meeting effectiveness, how meeting effectiveness affects organizational commitment, and to what extent job satisfaction impacts this relationship. We used data collected in our analysis and created a questionnaire that was distributed to 249 respondents working at 34 Vietnamese organizations from a variety of sectors such as tax, banking, health service, airlines, education, and business. Using non-probability sampling with the calculation of exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, and structural equation modeling, the authors found that leadership significantly affects meeting effectiveness, and meeting effectiveness positively influences organizational commitment with the mediation of job satisfaction.
The Effect of Concentration Reactan to Mixing Nitroglycerin Using Microchannel Hydrodynamics Focusing
Authors: Susilo Sugeng Hadi , Gumono  , Irawan Bambang
Published: March 2021

The study discusses the effect of nitroglycerin (C3H5 (ONO2) reactant concentrations on mixing efficiency. The aim is to predict the flow of nitric acid and glycerol mixing using focused microchannel hydrodynamics (inlet focus ratio 1:2). Glycerol (with added yellow food coloring) is supplied to the core channel and nitric acid (red coloring) in the sheath channel. The reactant mixing flow is then recorded for data collection. The independent variables are the 2M, 5M, and 10M reactant concentrations. Image data is processed using color-based segmentation, using the color space from the MATLAB program; this data includes reactant color, product, and mixing efficiency. The results of this study indicate that the greater the reactant molarity, the greater the efficiency of the mixture. 10M molarity, 4000 μm distance has a mixing index of 0.98, while the molarity of 5M and 2M at the same distance are only 0.74 and 0.6, respectively. The greater the reactant concentration, the greater the possibility of particle collision. This causes the density of the solution to increase, resulting in a flat shape in the boundary layer of the two reactants.
The Relationship between Gender, Tax Burdens, Corruption Practices, and Tax Compliance
Authors: Damayanti Theresia Woro , Prabowo Ronny , Sucahyo Usil Sis , Supramano Supramono
Published: March 2021

The article describes a new idea: the effect of top managers’ gender on tax compliance that is mediated by perceived tax burdens. This study also analyses the impact of perceived tax burdens on tax compliance as moderated by perceived corruption practices. Using data from the World Bank’s survey on 6,533 firms in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations countries and analyzing the data using a multiple regression analysis and Haye’s bootstrapping, the results confirm the mediating effect of perceived tax burdens on the effect of gender on tax compliance. The study also empirically shows that corruption strengthens the negative impact of perceived tax burdens on tax compliance. The contribution of this study is twofold. First, we fill in the research gap on the mediating role of perceived tax burdens and the moderating role of perceived corruption practices in the tax compliance context. Second, this study informs policymakers that they need to balance their gender equality policies with serious efforts to instill awareness on tax obligations and support anti-corruption institutions to prevent and crack down on corruption cases.

Published: March 2021

This article describes the hybrid approach of the Firefly Algorithm and power-voltage curve method in optimal placement of Distributed Generation while considering the actual load model. The actual load model is represented by six models. The six load models are a composite of industrial, residential, and commercial loads with dissimilar percentages. The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers 30 Bus is selected as the testing object for the proposed method. The optimal Distributed Generation placement process was performed using the Firefly Algorithm, while evaluation of optimal Distributed Generation on the loading and stability index is continued using the power-voltage curve method. The results show that commercial loads contribute to high power loss values. The optimal Distributed Generation integration results in an increase the stability index from 53.83% at initial conditions to 90.84% at maximum load level when increasing the maximum loading limit to 95%.

Published: March 2021

Reliability-Centered Maintenance uses the risk management principle of a component’s failure so that the type of maintenance can be determined properly. By using an appropriate type of maintenance, the possibility of failures in a component can be detected and prevented. The proper usage of Reliability-Centered Maintenance can have a positive impact on cost savings, both maintenance costs and repair costs, as well as reducing the consequences of failures. The object of this research is the cooling system aboard Tugboat Kresna 315. The cooling system is an important system on a ship, which is designed to prevent the main engine from overheating. The aim of this research is to apply Reliability-Centered Maintenance methods on the cooling system of Tugboat Kresna 315 and determine the types of maintenance tasks required. The results of Reliability-Centered Maintenance identified 16% of the overall failures to be a type of hidden failure while 86% were identified as evident failures, thus allowing the maintenance division to perform maintenance activities in accordance with the planned maintenance system on each tugboat.
Cocoa Plantation among Smallholder Farmers: Towards Mitigating Socio-Economic Effects of COVID-19 in Nigeria
Authors: Amuda Yusuff Jelili
Published: March 2021

Post COVID-19 socio-economic recovery has become the priority of both developed and developing countries. Smallholder farmers have been contributing to the non-oil sector of the economy in Nigeria. However, little effort is made in exploring the non-oil sector of the economy such as cocoa plantation as a way of mitigating the socio-economic effect of COVID-19 in the country. This paper primarily aims at exploring cocoa plantation among smallholder farmers to alleviate the socio-economic effect of COVID-19 in the country. The methodology used in this paper is a systematic literature review with content analysis resulting in identifying six themes. The results indicated that smallholder farmers have been actively partaking in cocoa plantation and the government has been supportive of them in this regard. It is further demonstrated that agricultural transformation contributes to economic diversification through innovative policy and capacity building among cocoa farmers in the country which are culminated in mitigating the socio-economic effect of COVID-19 in the recent. In conclusion, it is noteworthy to say that giving support especially coca sidling to smallholder farmers can be instrumental in bridging the vacuum created by COVID-19 in the country. Thus, it is suggested that interventions of individual philanthropists, government, and international communities will boost the morale and resilience of the farmers towards enhancing cocoa production to alleviate the socio-economic effect of COVID-19 in particular and maximize national economic growth in general.

Stanisław Janeczek. Oświecenie chrześcijańskie. Z dziejów polskiej kultury filozoficznej [The Christian Enlightenment. A study in the history of Polish philosophical culture]
Authors: S. J.
Published: March 2021

The subject of this study is the process of change which affected the teaching of philosophy in the secondary education system in the first phase of the Polish Enlightenment in the mid-18th century. Historians of science and philosophy have treated those changes as a spontaneous and uncritical attempt to include the problems of modem natural science seventeenth-century systems of philosophy, and ethical and social issues of the Enlightenment into the systematic exposition of Christian Aristotelianism, all despite the avowed opposition to these modes of culture. Hence the contemporary so-called 'philosophia recentiorum' has usually been regarded as a form of eclecticism, that is as a form structurally and culturally inconsistent, transitory, incomplete and dependent. Emphasis has also been laid on the impact Ch. Wolff allegedly had on the first stage of the Polish Enlightenment, the impact then replaced by English and French influences.
Współczesny liberalizm amerykański wobec kwestii społecznej
Authors: Koperek Jerzy
Published: March 2021

W wyniku przemian społecznych w wielu krajach demokratycznych, a zwłaszcza w Stanach Zjednoczonych jako kolebce demokracji, dostrzega się zmiany nie tylko ideowe, ale i obrazu samego społeczeństwa, podkreślając choćby zmiany tradycyjnych cnót mieszczańskich społeczeństwa kapitalistycznego. W tym kontekście warto więc zauważyć, ze wszelkie przeobrażenia i „nowinki" odbywają się na bazie poszanowania podstawowych zasad systemu, tj. demokracji, wolnego rynku oraz wyraźnej dominacji drogi ewolucyjnej, a nie rewolucyjnej, co dla czytelnika polskiego może stanowić pozytywny aspekt wychowawczy. W niniejszym studium teoretyczne koncepcje filozoficzne filozofów Johna Rawlsa i George'a C. Lodge'a są zestawione z działalnością polityka praktyka Johna Fitzgeralda Kennedy’ego, który choć nie jest filozofem teoretykiem, to jednak należy do głównych przedstawicieli tzw. liberalizmu jakościowego. Jego pozycja w życiu społeczno-politycznym Stanów Zjednoczonych Ameryki Północnej umożliwiła spopularyzowanie tego nurtu liberalnego w życiu publicznym społeczeństwa amerykańskiego.

W. Sellars' modifizierte Identitätstheorie
Authors: Bremer Józef
Published: March 2021

Die in der analytischen Philosophie vorgeschlagenen Lösungen des Leib-Seele-Problems, d.h. des Problems, in welchem Verhältnis der menschliche Geist zu dem Leib steht, sind überwiegend materialistischer bzw. physikalistischer Art. Hinter der Bezeichnung „physikalistische Art“ steckt normalerweise eine reduktionistische These, die besagt, daß alle realen Dinge und Ereignisse in der letzten Analyse nichts anderes sind als mikrophysikalische Partikel oder Ereignisse und sich allein mit Hilfe von rein physikalistischen Methoden und Prinzipien beschreiben bzw. erklären lassen. Ein so verstandener Reduktionismus ist keine  naturwissenschaftliche, sondern eine philosophische Theorie. Die jetzt folgende Darstellung der geschichtlichen Entwicklungsstufen dieser Theorie soll in die unten ausgearbeiteten reduktionistischen Thesen von W. Sellars (1912-1989) einführen. Diese Darstellung konzentriert sich auf die in der analytischen Philosophie vorgeschlagenen Lösungen des Leib-Seele-Problems, oder in unserem Fall Leib-Sensorium-Problems, da wir uns vor allem auf die Reduktion der Sinneseindrücke konzentrieren wollen.

Die Tätigkeit der Jesuiten im Bereich der verschiedenen Wissenschaften im 16. bis 18. Jahrhundert hat in den zurückliegenden Jahren zunehmend Interesse gefunden. Die Gründe hierfür liegen insbesondere im Einfluß der Jesuiten auf die Entwicklung und die Inhalte des Bildungssystems nicht nur in den katholischen Gebieten Europas, der früher auch aus ideologischen Gründen oft unterschätzt wurde. Durch detaillierte Untersuchungen wurde in jüngerer Zeit immer deutlicher, welch wichtige Rolle der Jesuitenorden in jener Zeit für Bildung und Wissenschaft spielte.
La dignidad del hombre como fundamento de los derechos humanos en la doctrina social de la Iglesia católica
Authors: Grabowski Rafał D.
Published: March 2021

Los ultimos tiempos se caracterizan, sobre todo, por una mayor conciencia y un mayor interes acerca de los derechos humanos. Sin duda alguna es consecuencia de lo que experimento la humanidad en nuestro siglo. Las dos guerras mundiales, los campos de concentracion y de trabajo, los deportaciones masivas y ejecuciones, los crimenes de guerra y el exterminio de naciones enteras, muestran la violacion mas cruel de la dignidad de la persona humana y de sus derechos fundamentales. Hey dla, los Ilamados derechos humanos, derechos de la persona
o derechos naturales gozan de un gran reconocimiento. Sin embargo, 50 anos despues de proclamar la Asamblea General de las Naciones Unidas la Declaracion Universal de Derechos Humanos, el problema mas importante en la doctrina de los derechos humanos lo constituye todavia la busqueda del fundamento de los mismos. La abundante discusion que rodea esta cuestiön muestra diferentes posturas, a voces opuestas. Esta „gran dispersion de enfoques" -como dice Massini- lleva consigo consecuencias necesariamente negativas, porque „no puede sino conducir a su debilitamiento y, en definitiva, a su difuminacion. En ultima instancia, unos derechos quo se intentan justificar de modo tan desemejante y hasta contradictorio, tienden a aparecer como postulados gratuitos, como afirmaciones meramente dogmaticas". A pesar de esta dispersion, los enfoques para justificar los derechos humanos se pueden sintetizar en tres.
La natura della società nel pensiero di San Tommaso d'Aquino
Authors: Majkrzak Henryk
Published: March 2021

La dottrina sociale di s. Tommaso ha come l'oggetto non la societa, ma l'uomo che vive in societa. La fonte del pensiero tomista va ricercata nella concezione politica d'Aristotele. Secondo lui per natura l'uomo e un animale sociale e politico che vive in mezzo agli altri. L'Aquinate interpreta in senso strettissimo il note principio aristotelico della socialita naturale e politicita dell'essere umano: „Naturale autem est homini, ut sit animal sociale et politicum, in multitudine vivens, magis etiam quam omnia alia animalia, quod quidem naturalis necessitas declaret".

D'ou notre ouvrage sur Szadurski (publie en polonais a Cracovie en 1978), ouvrage qui est la premiere monographie a partir de sources biographiques et doctrinales inconnues jusqu'ä maintenant du public. Notre texte comprend : 1) quelques donnees bibliographiques, 2) une  breve biographie de Szadurski, 3) la presentation de ses conceptions philosophiques principales, divisees en logique, metaphysique (ontologie, etiologie, theologie naturelle et psychologie), physique (generale et speciale), une courte synthese do tout son enseignement.
Jay F. Rosenberg. Thinking clearly about Death [Myśleć jasno o śmierci]
Authors: Bremer Józef
Published: March 2021

Drugie wydanie książki prof. dr Rosenberga zawiera, jak autor sam zaznacza, tylko niewielkie stylistyczne poprawki w stosunku do wydania pierwszego, które ukazało się w roku 1983. Na uwagę zasługuje to, że omawiane wydanie ukazało się w renomowanym wydawnictwie Hacketta. Wydanie pierwsze zainteresowało raczej akademickie kręgi filozofów i psychologów. Rosenberg jest profesorem filozofii analitycznej (Taylor Grandy Professor of Philosophy) w Uniwersytecie North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Z jego bibliografii obejmującej kilkadziesiąt pozycji na szczególną uwagę zasługują książki: Linguistic Representation (Dordrecht, 1974), One World and our Knowledge of It (Dordrecht, 1980), The Thinking Self (Philadelphia, PA, 1986), Beyond Formalism: Naming and Necessity for Human Beings (Philadelphia, PA, 1994).
An Obituary to Józef Tischner

Where you have freedom, the meaning of the word increases, where the word is meaningful, you presuppose freedom."

Wojciech Słomski. Personalistyczna wizja wolności. Wokół koncepcji wolności osoby ludzkiej Emmanuela Mouniera [The Personalist Vision of Freedom: Examining Emmanuel Mounier's Concept of Personal Freedom]
Authors: Orlik Jacek , Gauger Søren
Published: March 2021

There is considerable discussion in contemporary philosophical inquiry concerning the problematics of personalism. Among these inquiries is the book of Wojciech Słomski, a professor of philosophy at
the Higher Institute of Psychotherapy and Rehabilitation in Warsaw, entitled The Personalist Vision of Freedom: Examining Emmanuel Mounier's Concept of Personal Freedom. This is the second edition 
(corrected and enlarged) of the book which once appeared under the title Personal Freedom According to Emmanuel Mounier in 1996. The new additions are the first chapter, in which the author introduces E.
Mounier as a man and philosopher, as well as chapter five, which deals with the role and significance of freedom. This is rounded off by the remaining chapters. The book, therefore, is composed of six chapters
and the bibliography.
Abraham Joshua Heschel's Philosophy of Man
Authors: Szczerbiński Waldemar
Published: March 2021

The subject of the following discourse is, as the title itself points out, the anthropology of Heschel. Considering the fact that Heschel is in general unknown in Poland, I shall take the liberty to make known, in short, some pieces of information about him. Heschel was born in Warsaw, Poland on January 11th 1907. After graduating from the Gymnasium in Wilno he started his studies at Friedrich Wilhelm Universität, Berlin. At the Berlin University he studied at the Philosophy Department and, additionally, he took up studies in the sphere of Semitic Philosophy and History of Art. In 1937 Heschel was chosen by Martin Buber as his successor at Mittelstelle für Jüdische Erwachsenen-Bildung in Frankfurt on the Main. In October he was arrested by the Gestapo and deported to Poland together with all the Jews of Polish nationality. After returning to Warsaw he taught philosophy and biblical sciences at the Institute of Jewish Studies. Six weeks before the German aggression against Poland he left for England and then for the United States where he stayed until his death. He was the Professor at the Jewish Theological Seminary in New York. Except for his didactical activity, our philosopher did not neglect creative work. As time went on he was becoming a more and more well-known and
appreciated intellectualist and social worker in America. His activity went far beyond the boundaries of the Jewish world.

Stanisław Kowalczyk. Elementy filozofii i teologii sportu [The elements of philosophy and theology of sport]
Authors: Kowalczyk Stanisław , Kłos Jan
Published: March 2021

Sport plays today an eminent role in man's life and in societies. Various sciences have made it the subject-matter of their reflection, i.e. psychology, sociology, the natural and humanistic sciences, art, philosophy, and theology. The present work seeks to answer some fundamental questions connected with the phenomenon of sport: what is it for man (part one)? whether and when does it serve the social integration of a community (part two)? what are the premises and principles of the ethics of sportive activity (part three)? what is the aesthetic dimension of sport (part four)? what are the relations between sport and religious faith (part five)? The philosophical profile is dominant in the book, taking into consideration various aspects of sport: anthropological, social, axiological, and theological.
Possibility - Actuality - God
Authors: Ziemiański Stanisław
Published: March 2021

In „Forum Philosophicum" vol. 7 (2002) a paper has been published in which J. R. Spitzer's proof for the existence of God has been analysed. The proof proceeded from the disjunction: The independent Being exists or does not exists The objective of the paper in „Forum" was to analyse the relation of dependence which was the central point to Spitzer's proof. Since in September 2001 the second part of the american Jesuit's disquisition appeared in the same periodical, it seems suitable to react to this new text too. Spitzer has presented there three new arguments for the existence of God: (1) from the past time, (2) from the distinction between actuality and mere possibility and (3) from a Lonerganian interpretation of the same distinction. While he named the proofs presented in the part I metaphysical, he qualified the proofs brought forward in the part H as cosmological, in view of the facts belonging to
inanimate nature, such as: time, space, the velocity of light, etc. which serve him as starting-points. It is worth stressing that Spitzer's method is conducive to discussion, because he adduces concrete examples,
something which makes his mind more comprehensible. Had he used some vague descriptions or general definitions, discussion would have been more difficult. So let us analyse the new proposed proofs.
Ewolucja katolickiej nauki społecznej w latach 1891-2002
Authors: Pyszka Stanisław
Published: March 2021

Ogłoszenie encykliki Rerum novarum przez Leona XIII w dniu 15 maja 1891 roku dało początek temu, co dzisiaj nazywamy nauką społeczną Kościoła, ścisłej - Kościoła katolickiego, ponieważ Kościoły prawosławne nie podjęły tego tematu, zaś Kościoły protestanckie zajęły się problematyką społeczną dopiero w ostatnich dziesięcioleciach XX wieku. Istnieje ogólna zgoda specjalistów co do łączenia narodzin nauki społecznej Kościoła z ogłoszeniem tej encykliki. Przedtem nie istniał oficjalny nurt nauczania społecznego, w kształcie zamierzonego ciągu formalnych wypowiedzi Urzędu Nauczycielskiego Kościoła. Kościół pod koniec XIX stulecia stal się świadkiem radykalnych przemian politycznych, gospodarczych i społecznych oraz znalazł się w sferze różnorakich wpływów dominujących ideologii (CA, n . 4). Życie gospodarcze weszło w okres tzw. „drugiej rewolucji przemysłowej", przypadającej na lata 1870-1914. Rerum novarum uważa się powszechnie za początek nauczania społecznego Kościoła w jego nowoczesnym ujęciu (20L 1987). Wcześniej jedynie ostrzegano wiernych przed błędami (Grzegorz XVI, Mirari vos z 15 VIII 1832; Pius IX, Syllabus, 1864).
An Aesthetic Grounding for the Role of Concepts in Experience in Kant, Wittgenstein and Mcdowell
Authors: Thornton Tim
Published: March 2021

The paper begins by asking, in the context of McDowell's Mind and World, what guides empirical judgement. It then critically examines David Bell's account of the role of aesthetic judgement, or experience, in Kant and Wittgenstein, in shedding light on empirical judgement. Bell's suggestion that a Wittgensteinian account of aesthetic experience can guide the application of empirical concepts is criticised: neither the discussion of aesthetic judgement nor aesthetic experience helps underpin empirical judgement. But attention to the parallel between Wittgenstein's discussion of understanding rules and the question of how empirical concepts can be applied to particulars suggests how to dissolve the felt need for an answer. This in turn helps shed light on McDowell's conceptualist account of experience.
A Defence of Pluralism in the Debate about Natural Kinds: Case Study from the Classification of Celestial Objects
Authors: Murzi Mauro
Published: March 2021

I reconsider the monism/pluralism debate about natural kinds. Monism claims that there is a privileged division of reality into natural kinds, while pluralism states that there are many ways of classifying objects according to different purposes. I compare three different monistic accounts of natural kinds with the pluralism advocated by promiscuous realism. The analysis of some examples of the classification of celestial objects suggest that there are indeed different legitimate ways of classifying things according to different purposes; contrary to monism, the boundaries between kinds are not fixed. These results show that promiscuous realism is a better account of natural kind.
