Methods for Software Visualization of Large Graph Data Structures
Authors: Kralev Velin , Kraleva Radoslava
Published: March 2020

In this paper, three different methods for software visualization of large graph structures, respectively Rectangle, Intersection and Combined are presented. The basic concepts for using software development environments are outlined. Their capabilities for visual designing and event-oriented programming are discussed. A brief analysis of the basic features of the environment used to develop the ClipRect Monitor application is made. The main functions of this software are also presented. All experimental results in this study are generated with this application. According to the methodology, six graphs are prepared to determine the effectiveness of the three methods. The number of vertices and the edges of these graphs are proportional to the size of the drawing area (canvas). The drawing areas are also six and have different sizes, such that each subsequent area has a height and width twice the size of the previous one. Besides, for all areas, the width/height ratio is exactly 16:9. This ratio is widely used in monitors as well as laptops, mobile phones and tablets. The largest drawing area that the ClipRect Monitor application scanned during the experiments is 128 000 x 72 000 pixels. This scan is performed for graph G_6 with 1 415 vertices and 100 000 edges. The visualization area is diagonally positioned relative to the drawing area. For each visualization area, each of the three methods, respectively Rectangle, Intersection and Combined is performed. The Combined method executes the Rectangle method first and then the Intersection method. The results show that the Intersection method was the slowest compared to the other two methods in terms of the number of edges of the graph that are analyzed. When the visualization area is internal to the drawing area, the Rectangle method performs better than the Combined method. The Rectangle method gives the best result in terms of time for analysis and drawing of the edges of the graph. The Combined method combines the characteristics of the other two methods. This method is optimal in terms of the time of analysis of the need to draw the edges of the graph relative to the number of drawn edges.

Published: March 2020

Environmental monitoring is critical to develop appropriate policies for environmental sustainability. The quality of drinking and agricultural water is affected by bad environmental management strategies. In addition, natural water sources have been reduced due to climate changes and the lack of police and compliance with regulations for water resources management. In the Andes region of Ecuador, these problems have increased in recent decades. The lack of water affects not only human well-being, but also causes soil degradation. Therefore, finding alternative water sources has become the underlying requirement to provide human well-being and mitigate soil degradation in these regions. This article presents a fog collection system based on water condensation towers and Internet of Things (IoT) technology with real-time monitoring. Our system allows monitoring of environmental parameters while providing alternative sources of water from the environmental fog. Therefore, by collecting information related to the process of fog collection and climatic measurements of the environment, we seek to determine the state and trends of environmental conditions with respect to the performance of fog collection. In addition, our system allows the storage of historical environmental data, which can be used to develop environmental management policies. We have deployed our system on the slopes of the Ilalo volcano, Pichincha province, being part of the Ecuadorian Andes, where the soil deterioration has increased in recent years and has the largest soil degradation rate in Ecuador

Published: March 2020

Digital competences can be defined as the set of techno-pedagogical and communicational skills that allow teachers to function effectively within the educational contexts that new technologies generate. This research work was aimed to establish the relationship between the level of university professors’ digital competences concerning their gender and generation. The study was based on a sample of 613 professionals with an undergraduate degree, who came from different areas of Ecuador; they were the attendees to the "Training Program for Leveling Tutors using Virtual Modality" at Tí©cnica del Norte University (Ibarra -Ecuador). This research applied a quantitative and explanatory approach where the non-parametric statistical test of Chi-square was used to corroborate the validity of the data; it was obtained from a survey applied to the participants in this training course. The results show that the level of digital competences is gender independent but generation dependent. Generation Z is the one with the best digital capabilities, with an average of 61.14%. Regarding the gender, a dependence is observed only with two out of five groups of competencies analyzed in this study; the cloud storage and the interaction of social network. The research line of digital competences is extensive, the results should not be generalized or extrapolated without considering the characteristics of the educators and the context, it is suggested to assess the teaching staff digital competencies, considering other types of demographic variables, so that higher education institutions can carry out a comprehensive training planning in digital skills.

Published: March 2020

Palm fresh fruit bunches (FFBs) are raw materials used in CPO mills and produced by palm oil plants. The nature and quality of these raw materials considerably affect the characteristics of the crude palm oil (CPO).  The characteristic of crude palm oil (CPO) can be affected by freshness level, ripening of palm fruit bunches, growing sites, poor transportation and harvest and postharvest systems. Amongst the aforementioned factors, the major problems that occur frequently are the ripening level and processing delay of palm fresh fruit bunches (FFBs) and also brondolan (loose fruits from bunches). Harvested FFBs must be optimally ripened to achieve high oil content and must be immediately taken to the factory for processing.  Accordingly, the present study aims to evaluate the characteristics of palm oil produced at different ripening levels and processing delay times of palm fruit bunches from oil palm plantations in Ungaran, Central Java, Indonesia. The objects of this research are ripening level (underripe, ripe, overripe and brondolan) and processing delay time (12, 36 and 60 h). Results show that the ripening level and length of processing delay of palm fruit bunches can affect the deterioration of bleachability index (DOBI) value, free fatty acid (FFA) content, oil content, peroxide value (Î± = 0.05) and profile of fatty acid composition. A long processing delay increases FFA content and peroxide value, but decreases DOBI value and oil content. From the observed parameters, the best results are found on ripe FFBs with a processing delay time of 12 h. The results are still good at 36 h but deteriorated after 60 h.

Published: March 2020

Oil palm plantations in Indonesia are cultivated on various types of land, ranging from very suitable  to unsuitable  types. This cultivation method is increasingly vulnerable to drought caused by climate change. Climate change due to global warming negatively affects the management of oil palm plantations in the long term.  The upper-temperature limit for efficient photosynthesis in oil palm leaves is >38 °C. The increase in temperature (2°C above the optimum) and rainfall by 10% is projected to cause a yield decline of up to 30%.  The water shortage is also a major limiting factor for palm oil production. Such vulnerability is predicted to worsen, and thus its negative effects should be explored. The purpose of this study is to reveal the role of organic matter applied as empty bunches (EFB) and the management of Nephrolepis bisserata vegetation in reducing the adverse effects of rainfall on palm oil production on sandy soils. The survey method and observations were carried out for over 3 years on plants aged 14-16 years on blocks. Empty fruit bunches (EFB) of 40 tons/ha/year was applied to each block, and Nephrolepis biserrata  was used as ground cover which planted in path. The parameters observed included the number and average weight of fresh fruit bunches (FFB). The relationship between fluctuations in the conditions of monthly rainfall intensity on oil palm production was determined through regression analysis.  Rainfall strongly influenced the number of FFB, whereas the average weight of FFB remained relatively constant. The application of EFB and management of Nephrolepis biserrata   vegetation facilitates the reduction of drought impacts and increase in oil palm production (15%) as shown in bunch weight and bunch number.  EFB and Nephrolepis biserrata  vegetation can increase soil organic matter content and improve soil water holding capacity.

Published: March 2020

A System of Rice Intensification (SRI) create optimal conditions with transplanting widely spaced young single seedlings, organic fertilizer amendment, and water management.  In Indonesia the water for irrigating rice is limited, especially in the dry season. An Intermittent irrigation method of rice cultivation aims to reduce water requirements. In Indonesia local rice varieties have the potential to produce high-yielding rice with the intermittent irrigation method to meet food needs. The study aims to determine the suitability of SRI and conventional irrigation techniques on local rice varieties.  The research conducted the field experimental with 4 x 2 factorial design, arranged in a Randomized Completely Block Design with three replications. The first factor was rice varieties, which consisted of 4 varieties, i.e., Rojolele, Cianjur, Mentikwangi and Ciherang. The second factor was the method of irrigation consisting of two kinds, i.e., intermittent irrigation and continuous flooding. Analysis of variance and  Duncan's Multiple Range Test at Î±=5% was used. The results showed that rice variety and irrigation were significantly interacts to the secondary macronutrient absorption and root development. Rojolele with SRI irrigation has higher secondary macronutrient absorption than the Cianjur and Mentikwangi. Calcium nutrient absorption of Rojolele and  Ciherang with SRI irrigation was higher than other varieties, whereas Magnesium nutrient absorption of Rojolele with SRI irrigation was higher than Ciherang, Cianjur, and Mentikwangi. Rojolele with SRI irrigation had higher Sulfur nutrient absorption than Cianjur and Mentikwangi. In Rojolele and Ciherang, intermittent irrigation SRI produced longer roots at harvest and more wide root surface area than conventional irrigation, but on Mentikwangi, conventional irrigation produced longer roots  and more wide root surface area than intermittent SRI irrigation. The chlorophyll b content of the Cianjur and Mentikwangi were greater than Rojolele. The yield of Cianjur was higher than Ciherang's variety.

Multi-environment yield trials are essential in an estimation of genotype by environment (GE) interaction and identification of superior genotypes in the final selection cycles.  The objective of this study was to evaluate yield stability of five hybrid maize in three locations using AMMI (Additive Main Effects and Multiplicative Interaction) method.  A randomized block design with three replications was applied to the experiment at each site. The genotypes tested were UNIB CT5, UNIB CT8, UNIB CT9, UNIB CT13, and UNIB CT14.  The hybrids were single-crosses from selected pairs of S6 gamma irradiated mutant parental lines.  The hybrids were cultivated in three different locations with different agroclimatic.  They were Air Duku village, district of Curup, Rejang Lebong (rainy season of the year of 2014); Kandang Limun village, district of Muara Bangkahulu, Bengkulu (wet season of the year of 2015) and Medan Baru village, district of Muara Bangkahulu, Bengkulu (dry season of the year of 2015).  The results showed that among five newly developed hybrids tested, CT8 and CT9 were the most prospective genotype for Ultisol for a dry and wet season, respectively.  Based on the postdictive success and predictive success methods, the model used (AMMI 2) was able to explain 89% interaction-influenced variation.  The genotypes found stable in three locations based on AMMI analyses was UNIB CT14.  Three hybrids were considered specific adaptation.  They were UNIB CT9 for rainy season of Kandang Limun, UNIB CT8 for dry season of Medan Baru and UNIB CT13 for rainy season of Curup.  UNIB CT5 did not adapt to any of the three environments tested.
Earthquake Safe Houses Training for Tsunami Preparedness in West Sumatra
Authors: Ismail Febrin Anas , Hakam Abdul , Ophiyandri Taufika
Published: March 2020

Western parts of Sumatra Island has the potential to hit by big earthquakes that can generate a tsunami. The possible sources of those big earthquakes are located at the subduction zone about 50 km westward of Mentawai Island and seabed fault between Mentawai and Sumatra Island. Since the distance of the sources is not so far, the earthquake may impact severely on the mainland of Sumatra Island. The shaking may damage the buildings, including houses on the Sumatra and Mentawai Islands, shortly before the tsunami comes. Thus, before evacuation from a tsunami, people must first survive from the earthquake. The worst-case may happen if the earthquake-triggered tsunami hit in the night where people are gathering at home. Victims affected by collapsed houses during the earthquake will be unable to evacuate for a tsunami. Therefore, surviving from the earthquake is an absolute requirement before saving themselves from the tsunami. It can be done by building the house or retrofitting the existing houses to be earthquake safer constructions. Many manual books and guidance that contain methods for constructing or strengthening houses for earthquake safer construction have been widely circulated in the community. But in its implementation, the training is needed. Since many houses must be strengthened, all stakeholders, including government, experts, ordinary people, and housebuilders should involve in the process. Above all, the housebuilders are the most important element in building earthquake safer houses. The housebuilder training, including all the stakeholders, has been conducted in Pariaman City, West Sumatra. This paper describes the experiences in conducting and training models of earthquake safer houses. This model can be replicated in other places, particularly along the western side of Sumatra Island.
Experimental Study of Indonesian Low-Cost Glass Fiber Reinforced Elastomeric Isolators (GFREI)
Authors: Tavio - , Wijaya Usman
Published: March 2020

In this research, four specimens of elastomeric base isolators were tested. They were named as A1, A2, B1, and B2. The type A and B elastomeric isolators were made from the hyperelastic rubber with the hardness of 40 and 60, respectively, according to the durometer scale shore A. Prior to the making of elastomeric isolators, both rubber categories (40 and 60) were tested to obtain the mechanical properties of these types of hyperelastic rubbers. testing of hyperelastic rubbers and elastomeric isolators were carried out following BS EN 15129:2009 requirements. The A1 and B1 specimens were tested under vertical load. For lateral load tests, double shear tests were carried out. Specimen A1 which has been tested under vertical load previously was used to be combined with Specimen A2 and tested under lateral load. This double shear test was also conducted to Specimens B1 and B2 in which B1 has been tested earlier under vertical loading. From the results of the hyperelastic rubber tests, the elongation at the breaking of type A and B rubbers were more than 500 and 400 percent with the maximum stress of 8.8 and 6.2 MPa, respectively. While the testing results of type B elastomeric isolators showed better damping ratio than type A, the effective stiffnesses of type A elastomeric isolators were found higher than type B. From the test results; it can also be shown that higher-story buildings, which have high axial forces, might use type B elastomeric isolators which have higher hardness and damping ratio, whereas low-rise buildings with low axial forces can use type A elastomeric isolators. Thus, it can be concluded that the Indonesian rubber has a bright future and has a strong potential to be developed for use in the production of low-cost elastomeric isolators.

Published: March 2020

Broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. italica) is a high value crop that requires the application of post-harvest techniques to extend its shelf life. Acoustic wave is one of the newest non thermal methods to extend shelf life of fresh produce during storage. The purpose of this study was to test the efficacy of prolonging the shelf life quality of broccoli through acoustic waves treatment. Experimental design includes 4 treatments with 3 replications each. The treatments consisted of varying hours of exposure to acoustic waves (0 hour, 4 hours, 6 hours, and 8 hours). Broccolis were treated with low-frequency acoustic waves at 1 kHz, 100 dB produced by a sound transducer in a sound-proof chamber to prevent extraneous noise. After acoustic waves exposure, broccolis were stored in a refrigerator at 10 °C then monitored the surface color, florets firmness, stalk firmness, and the shelf life which are the quality indicator of broccoli. Results showed that treated broccoli has a significant difference compared to non-treated broccoli. Broccoli treated with acoustic waves exhibits gradual changes in its quality than of non-treated. The most suitable hours of exposure to acoustic waves to extend the shelf life quality of broccoli in terms of surface color and flesh firmness is achieved by treating the broccoli with 1 kHz, 100 dB acoustic waves for 8 hours. The acoustic wave has a potential benefit of extending the shelf life of broccoli up to 22 days at 10 °C delaying the changes in marketable quality.

Voting remains an integral component of every democratic electoral process. it is an avenue for citizens to exercise their rights in order to elect those who will lead them in various vacant political offices. However, enhancing voters’ trust and confidence in electoral processes are significant factors that could encourage the active participation of citizens in elections. Eligible voters tend to decline to participate in an election when they have a feeling that their votes may not eventually count. Furthermore, electoral processes that lead to the emergence of candidates must be adjudged to be free, fair and credible to a high degree for the result to be widely acceptable. Unacceptable election results could lead to protests and total cancelation of the election thereby resulting in loss of time and resources invested in it. To ensure that only registered voters cast their votes on election days, measures must be put in place to accredit voters on election days effectively. Therefore, this article explores the use of biometric smart cards for voters’ verification and identification. With the Nigerian electoral process in view, the existing Nigerian voting procedure was reviewed, lapses were identified and solutions based on the use of the biometric smart card were proffered. If adopted, the proposed adoption of biometric smart cards for voters’ accreditation will enhance the country’s electoral process thereby ensuring that only registered voters cast their votes. The approach presented could also reduce the number of electoral processes and personnel required during election days, thus reducing voting time and cost.
Estimating Damaged Volume of Historic Pagodas in Bagan after Earthquake using 3D Hough Transform
Authors: Aung Thida , Sein Myint Myint
Published: March 2020

On 24th August 2016, the magnitude of a 6.8 earthquake struck in Bagan from the depth of 52 miles. This earthquake caused much damage in historic pagodas in Bagan, one of the archeological houses in Asia. Analyzing the affected areas is an essential task for the restoration and reconstruction of historic buildings after a disaster. Traditional methods of detecting damage to buildings focus on detecting 2D changes (i.e., only the appearance of the image), but the 2D information provided by the image is not sufficient when it involves detecting damage to buildings is often not precise. For finding out the solution, a method of 3D change detection is needed for estimating the volumes of damaged pagodas after the earthquake. The proposed system aims at producing a quick assessment of the damaged pagodas accurately and correctly. This system estimates the damaged volume of the pagoda based on the nature of the 3D point clouds. Post-earthquake photos are taken using an anonymous aircraft (UAV) and point cloud data is generated using VisualSFM software. The 3D Hough transform is used to find the intersection of the tower vertex and the 3D vertex at the line boundary. Besides, the proposed system can detect the reformed structure of the entire pagoda. The results show that the proposed approach facilitates the automated 3D detection of damaged pagodas and is a time-saving method for estimating the volume of damage caused to precious historic pagodas after a disaster.

Unsteady Motion of Viscous Electrically Conductive Fluid Rotating in Half-Space Bounded by a Wall in the Presence of Medium Injection (Suction)
Authors: Gurchenkov A.A.
Published: March 2020

The study is devoted to studying motion of a viscous electrically conductive incompressible fluid, which initially rotates as a solid body with constant angular velocity together with a porous wall bounding it under the influence of suddenly appearing longitudinal oscillations of the wall. The wall forms an arbitrary angle with the axis of rotation. Unsteady flow is induced by longitudinal wall oscillations, injection (suction) of the medium directed perpendicular to the porous plate surface and by suddenly activated constant magnetic field directed on the normal to the plate. Solutions were constructed for velocity fields and fluid pressure. Induced magnetic field in the flow of electrically conductive fluid was determined. A number of particular cases of the wall motion were considered. Based on the results obtained, separate structures of the boundary layers adjacent to the wall were examined.

Published: March 2020

W artykule opisano kwestie związane z dostępnością, poborem i zużyciem wody w rolnictwie. Znaczenie wody dla sektora rolnego jest kluczowe, jednakże rolnicy nie przywiązują dużej wagi do tego zasobu i traktują wodę jako dobro wolne, niemające żadnej wartości. Zmiany dostępności, skali poboru i śladu wodnego wskazują, że gospodarka wodna staje się coraz większym problemem i należy poświęcić jej więcej uwagi, niezależnie od tego, że porównanie danych statystycznych wskazuje, że zużycie wody w polskim rolnictwie jest jednym z najniższych wśród krajów Unii Europejskiej. Jednakże wciąż jest ono wysokie w stosunku do posiadanych zasobów wodnych.

Published: March 2020

The features of clinical and radiological forms of tuberculosis (TB) and the informativeness of various methods of etiological diagnosis of TB among 175 patients with co-infected HIV + TB for the period 2001-2017 in the Republic of Karelia (RK) were studied. Timely execution of PCR diagnostics reliably reduces the likelihood of a lethal outcome in patients with a co-infection, as it made it possible to quickly detect not only the presence of MBT, but also determine multidrug resistance (MDR) and prescribe adequate chemotherapy on the first day of detection, which significantly reduces the risk of death. It was established that among patients with co-infection with HIV + pulmonary TB, decay cavities in the lung tissue were detected less frequently (40.7%), however, bacteria excretion was significantly more frequent (68.3%) than among patients with pulmonary TB in the Republic of Kazakhstan (data f.8).It has been established that improving the organization of sputum collection can significantly increase (by no less than 20%) the incidence of MBT in patients with pulmonary TB and HIV infection, which is important in the rapid diagnosis of TB and the appointment of adequate therapy, especially considering that among patients ½ (50.5%) co-infection of MBT had MDR.

One of the determinants of the birth rate trends is value system and attitudes of the population, especially young people. Increasingly building a successful career, achieving high social status and financial independence become the priorities of modern youth. The presence of children in this case could considered being a hindrance in achieving these goals. The emergence of the childfree phenomenon indicates the processes of changing the family-value orientations of the population. With the aim to analyze the attitude of the medical university students to the childfree phenomenon in dynamics, we conducted surveys among Sechenov University students in 2009 and 2019. A comparative analysis of the survey results allowed us to make conclusions about a decrease in the number of students with chronic diseases (54.0% and 63.9% respectively deny the presence of chronic diseases), a decrease in the number of students with bad habits (31.0% and 14.5% of students smoke, 16.0% and 9.2% drink alcohol, respectively), a decrease in the number of students with children from 20.0% to 2.3%, as well as an increase in the number of students who are not ready for independent childrearing from 59.0% to 76.2%. In addition, our findings show an increase in number of students aware about childfree phenomenon (from 36.0% to 84.8%) and a more loyal attitude towards it among students (3.0% in 2009 and 18.5% of students in 2019).

Materials and Methods: We performed a prospective study on 10 patients with intractable epilepsy who has underwent sphenoidal electrode placement from 2010 to 2012. Refractory temporal lobe epilepsy patients whose localization and lateralization of epileptic focus couldn’t established with scalp EEG, or patients diagnosed bitemporal epilepsy with bitemporal seizure activity in video-EEG but no seizure onset identified, were evaluated. Sphenoidal electrodes placed double-sided to patients under sedation in the operating room. The control of the sphenoidal electrodes’ last position and several parameters displayed with 3D tomography. Patients monitorized at video-EEG unit. Simultaneously sphenoidal electrodes and scalp electrodes recordings obtained. Sphenoidal electrode lateralization results are compared with MRI, PET, SCALP EEG lateralization.
Results: The utility rate of sphenoidal electrode recordings were found to be 28.1%. 2 of 10 cases lateralized were localized, 4 of 8 patients were lateralized by sphenoidal electrodes.
Conclusion: Sphenoidal electrodes and scalp electrodes are similar in their ability to detect seizures. The optimal placement of sphenoidal electrodes with our technique provided additional localizing and lateralizing information in this series.
Linguistik und Rhetorik. Berührungspunkte

Linguistics and rhetoric. Points of contactRhetoric and linguistics have, to some extent, separate histories, traditions and research ranges. However, it is worthwhile to mention some reasons for which it is possible to perceive these disciplines as interdependent due to the doubtless relationship between them. And it is not only for the relationship, naturally existing between rhetoric – the queen of sciences and arts, as stated by Cicerone, and linguistics – a discipline being a theoretically and methodologically independent area, which was formed only in the 19th century. Linguistics appears as a peculiar recipient of solutions in terminological-methodological solutions, while rhetoric is not the only area from which the transfer was possible. It was some exact sciences chemistry, logic, mathematics etc. that played a significant role in this case. Today there is also noticed a tendency of rhetoric to open to other areas, including what linguistics can offer. It is a process which allows for the hope to create new research possibilities in both branches.
„verbAndskasten !MÜS!sen wir haben“. Zum argumentativen Potenzial von Prosodie am Beispiel von Einigungsdiskussionen bei Grundschulkindern

“we !MUST! have a first aid kit” – On the argumentative potential of prosody in consensual discussions among primary school childrenProsody has proved to be an important means of contextualising and marking statements as argumentatively meaningful – and therefore persuasively functional – for the process of reaching an agreement in group discussions. This paper shows how primary school children use prosodic devices to mark implicit arguments through accentuation, to compensate for missing reasoning, to enhance the persuasive strength of an argument or to mark collaborative reasoning. In contrast to explicit lexical markers, prosody is understood as an implicit resource, which allows younger children to engage in discussions and to successfully persuade others.
The casualty of Jewish-Polish polemics: Revisiting Andrzej Wajda’s Korczak 1990
Authors: Haltof Marek

OFIARA POLEMIKI POLSKO-ŻYDOWSKIEJ. POWRÓT DO KORCZAKA 1990 ANDRZEJA WAJDYTekst Marka Haltofa Ofiara polemiki polsko-żydowskiej. Powrót do „Korczaka” 1990 Andrzeja Wajdy omawia polityczny aspekt pierwszego filmu Wajdy, który powstał po transformacji ustrojowej. Wcześniej reżyser zrealizował wiele filmów poświęconych Holokaustowi i relacjom polsko-żydow-skim. Niektóre z jego dzieł spotkały się z krytyką, często niezasłużoną, stając się zakładnikami polity-ki i „ofiarami polsko-żydowskich polemik” — jak pisze o Korczaku Lawrence Baron. Artykuł przy-bliża historię powstania filmu, sposób przedstawiania postaci Korczaka jako polskiego i żydowskiego bohatera oraz kontrowersje, jakie ten film, a zwłaszcza jego finałowa scena, wzbudził we Francji.
Pamięć monumentalna? O ostatnim filmie Andrzeja Wajdy
Authors: Idczak Aleksandra
Published: March 2020

THE MONUMENTAL MEMORY? ON THE FINAL FILM OF ANDRZEJ WAJDA The paper attempts to study the Afterimages, the last Andrzej Wajda’s film, in the light of its critical reception in Poland. The author investigates what place in collective memory of Polish viewers oc-cupies both the director and the protagonist — Władysław Strzemiński. The author argues that the exceptional circumstances, like jubilee celebrations and director’s funeral — turned critical attention away from the film itself to the entire director’s oeuvre. Afterimages, interpreted with the category of “monumental memory”, allows the author of the presented paper to show the place of Wajda’s work in Polish contemporary film culture. The author argues that this peculiar position is determined by a combination of social expectations and imaginations, and historical conditions, but above all by the way of perceiving the role of art in a changing society. In this context the question about problematic memory of the avant-garde seems to be crucial.

Współczesne nurty polskiej myśli nacjonalistycznej — próba podziału w aspekcie kategorii „tradycji”
Authors: Smolik Bartosz
Published: March 2020

Contemporary currents of the Polish nationalist thought —an attempt at division in terms of the category of “tradition”This article aims at outlining the method of dividing the Polish political thought. For this purpose the category of “tradition” is used “Tradition” is perceived by the author as a type of conscious and reflective choice of achievements of the past made in the present. Based on “tradition” the author distinguishes the following currents of the Polish nationalist thought: the current of Neo-National Democracy, the current of National Radicalism, the Catholic National current, as well as the Progressive current and the current of Slavonic Neo-Paganism. Apart from political thought the tradition of Polish nationalism also includes political movement issues, literature and art. An important role in the reception and transmission of “tradition” to contemporary times is played by its guardians, which means people who endeavor to pass it on in a form desired by them.

The Value-Pluralism and Liberalism Problem Revisited
Authors: Polanowska - Sygulska Beata
Published: March 2020

This article tackles one of the most burning issues discussed by adherents of the dynamically developing movement in ethics which bears on political and legal philosophy, that is value-pluralism. In particular, the article is devoted to an investigation into the highly controversial issue of the relationship between pluralism and liberalism, based upon the three crucial, divergent approaches represented by Isaiah Berlin and his two main opponents, John Gray and George Crowder. The analysis leads to the conclusion that the two concepts in question are neither mutually exclusive nor logically connected, but actually overlapping, which signifies the existence of a loose, de facto connection between them. Such a final thesis proves to be consistent with the position of Isaiah Berlin, and contrary to the final statements endorsed by his critics, John Gray and George Crowder.
Założenia ontologiczne i epistemologiczne sceptycyzmu Montaigne’a
Authors: Sołtysiak Marek
Published: March 2020

The Ontological and Epistemological Assumptions of Montaigne’s ScepticismMontaigne is widely regarded as one of the most significant sceptics of the 16th century. His most important work, Essays, had a great impact on the thinkers of the 16th and 17th centuries, in particular on the philosophy of Descartes. The article presents Montaigne’s critique of senses and reason as sources of human knowledge. The elements of his scepticism that went beyond the sceptic arguments of ancient thinkers has been emphasized. The negative role of his ontological variabilism in knowing things has been underlined. As a result of the total criticism of the possibilities of human cognition made by the author of the Essays, attention has been paid to the non-sceptical type of the question posed by him: “What do I know?” “Que sais-je?”. The answer to this question led him to fideism in cognition. At the end of the article, an attempt has been made to indicate Montaigne’s main epistemological and metaphysical assumptions that contributed to the problem of cognition. It has also been highlighted in what way the understanding of reason, method, and, above all, self became for Descartes, unlike Montaigne, the foundation of certain knowledge.
Zasada aglomeracji i dylematy moralne

A Deontic Logic for Normative DilemmasAbstract: Standard deontic logic does not tolerate normative conflicts. If we assume that one ought to do A and ought to do B, but cannot do them both, we get a contradiction within deontic logic. Philosophers who deny that there could be genuine moral dilemmas treat this fact as the proof that dilemmas are logically impossible. At the same time, the advocates of the possibility of moral dilemmas propose to reject or restrict standard deontic principles. What consequences does it have for the resulting logic? Some of them are too strong because they contain the theorem of normative triviality or “deontic explosion,” which says that if there is any case of normative conflict, then everything is obligatory. On the other hand, some of them are too weak, since they are not able to validate more important deontic inferences especially the Smith Argument. Lou Goble introduces three criteria of adequacy that any deontic logic should meet if it is to accommodate normative conflicts successfully. First, I present these conditions and then I introduce a new logic of ought that fully meets all of them.
