Examining Child Welfare Decisions and Services for Asian-Canadian Versus White-Canadian Children and Families in the Child Welfare System
Authors: Lee Barbara , Fuller-Thomson Esme , Fallon Barbara , Black Tara , Trocmé Nico
Published: February 2017

Using administrative child welfare data from the Ontario Child Abuse and Neglect Data System (OCANDS), this study compared the profiles of Asian-Canadian and White-Canadian children and families that experienced a case closure after an investigation instead of being transferred to ongoing child protection services (CPS). Child protection investigations involving Asian-Canadian and White-Canadian children and families that were transferred to ongoing CPS presented a different profile of case characteristics and caregiver and child clinical needs. Asian-Canadian children and families received ongoing CPS for over a month longer than White-Canadian children and families and were less likely (odds ratio [ OR] = 0.39) to be reinvestigated for any form of maltreatment-related concerns within 1 year after case closure. It appears that child protection investigations involving Asian-Canadian children and families are less likely to be closed prematurely than White-Canadian children and families, and the child protection system may be meeting the needs of Asian-Canadian communities. Alternatively, it is possible there is unaccounted biases that may be reflective of systemic problem of discriminative practices in the child protection system. Further research is needed to explore this phenomenon.
“For Some Reason I Find it Hard to Work Quickly”: Introduction to the Special Issue on Sluggish Cognitive Tempo
Authors: Becker Stephen P.
Published: February 2017

The body of research investigating the sluggish cognitive tempo (SCT) construct continues to accumulate at a rapid pace. This article provides an introduction to the Special Issue on SCT, which includes 10 empirical studies that collectively make a major contribution to the SCT knowledge base. Notably, the studies in this Special Issue include participants spanning in age from 4 to 64 years and from four continents, helping to move the field toward a life span, transcultural understanding of SCT. Together, these studies demonstrate that SCT symptoms can be distinguished from ADHD symptoms as early as preschool and that SCT does not fall under the overarching umbrella of ADHD. These studies also show SCT to be associated with a range of external correlates including internalizing symptoms, learning difficulties, functional impairment, and daily life executive functioning (but not performance-based measures of executive functions). Preliminary findings of SCT in relation to thyroid functioning and tobacco exposure are reported. In addition to providing a summary of the key themes across studies included in the Special Issue, this article highlights key ways in which future research can build from these studies. There is a particular need for research utilizing longitudinal, multi-method, and multi-informant designs that can shed light on the etiologies and developmental psychopathology of SCT across the life span.
On the successful coexistence of oceanographic operational services with other computational workloads
Authors: Cotelo Carmen , Baladrón María Aránzazu Amo , Aznar Roland , Lorente Pablo , Rey Pablo , Rodríguez Aurelio
Published: February 2017

This paper describes a case of the implementation of a pan-European operational oceanography service coexisting with non-operative research jobs that are executed on the same computational resources. The complexity of designing a good operational service increases when the resources that will be used are shared with other computational workloads. However, once the implementation is achieved the result is an optimised and robust service. Computational resources and other necessary services are permanently monitored in order to detect and solve potential problems in real-time. These resources can be used by other researchers during the time interval in which they are not needed for this operational service. The goal of this work is to guarantee the time to solution of the operational execution on a shared computing environment without a large impact on the researchers jobs.
Fibre-reinforced polymer strengthening and fibre Bragg grating–based monitoring of reinforced concrete cantilever slabs with insufficient anchorage length of steel bars
Authors: Zhang Shishun , Yu Tao
Published: February 2017

Reinforced concrete cantilever slabs are among structures that are most likely to develop structural integrity problems, as they are statically determinate and often exposed to the outdoor environment. This article presents an experimental study on the strengthening of reinforced concrete cantilever slabs where the anchorage of the top steel reinforcing bars into the adjacent wall was insufficient. The experimental study involved the use of a fibre-reinforced polymer strengthening system and fibre Bragg grating sensors for strain monitoring. The fibre-reinforced polymer strengthening system consisted of glass fibre–reinforced polymer sheets and glass fibre–reinforced polymer spike anchors which connected the glass fibre–reinforced polymer sheets to the adjacent concrete wall. The test results showed that the fibre-reinforced polymer strengthening system was effective in improving the load-carrying capacity of reinforced concrete cantilever slabs and the fibre Bragg grating sensors worked efficiently and reliably for strain monitoring. The debonding in glass fibre–reinforced polymer sheet/glass fibre–reinforced polymer anchor-to-concrete bonded joints was found to be a progressive process associated with an increasing load. The fibre-reinforced polymer strengthening system examined in this study is thus a potential ductile solution for deficient cantilever slabs.
Mediatized war and the moralizing function of news about disruptive events
Authors: Morse Tal
Published: February 2017

Theory of mediatized war asserts that the study of contemporary wars must consider the role of the media in it. However, while the focus of the mediatization of wars is usually on the power dynamics between the military, the media, and the audiences, the institutional approach to mediatization invites us to consider the role of the media as educators and providers of moral orientation. Thus, the study of mediatized war needs to consider the moral work of news in articulating an ethical solicitation for spectators to reflect upon their responsibility to the suffering of distant others during wartime. Following Judith Butler’s call to reflect on the cultural frames through which ethical solicitation emerges, this article studies Al-Jazeera English’s coverage of the 2008 Gaza War and points to the discursive and performative means through which news constructs distant deaths as grievable and fosters cosmopolitan sentiment.
Long-Term Effectiveness of Strattice in the Laparoscopic Closure of Paraesophageal Hernias

Published: February 2017

Prosthetic reinforcement reduces the recurrence rate of large paraesophageal hernias (PEH), but the use of synthetic or biosynthetic mesh in the repair remains controversial. PEH repair has reported recurrence rates of 12% to 42%, and primary repair of PEH by suture closure under tension is at high risk of disruption. Synthetic mesh use in large PEH repair has shown to reduce recurrence but can lead to problems including mesh erosion, ulceration, stricture, and dysphagia. The objective of this study was to examine the long-term safety and efficacy of Strattice biologic mesh, a porcine acellular dermal matrix, in crural reinforcement of laparoscopic large PEH repair. Thirty-five patients with symptomatic PEH (>5 cm) were consented to receive Strattice for PEH repair. Patients were seen in clinic preoperatively, at surgery, and 2 weeks, 6 months, and 12 months postoperatively. Patients were given a standard subjective reflux test at each visit and a 12-month barium swallow X-ray to test for recurrence. Hernia recurrence was documented in 14.3% of cases by the end of the 1-year follow-up. Symptoms improved in 75% to 100% of patients by 6 months, and 33% to 100% of patients were still reporting symptom improvement at 12 months. Strattice mesh in PEH repair results in similar outcomes to other absorbable meshes, and the recurrence rate is within the 12% to 42% range of recurrences reported in studies outside of our institution. The use of Strattice mesh in large PEH repair had results similar to other biomaterial meshes and successfully decreased patients’ symptom scores through surgical intervention.
An Urban School Principal Encounters a Group of Teachers Who Seek to Address Racism in Their School
Authors: Scheurich James Joseph , Williams Nathanial
Published: February 2017

Urban principals lead complex schools. Although such schools often serve racially marginalized students from low-income families, they also exist within an environment that negatively stereotypes the students and their parents. Such stereotypes are even often held by school leaders and teachers in these environments. At the same time, there are often school professionals who are highly successful with urban students and who have substantive critiques of negative stereotypes about urban students and their families. In this case, a group of critically oriented urban school teachers come together, raise difficult issues, and thus provide a dilemma for their principal.
Structural Gender Equality and Federal Sentencing Outcomes: A Test of the Ameliorative and Backlash Hypotheses
Authors: Nowacki Jeffrey S. , Windsong Elena A.
Published: February 2017

While previous research has examined gender disparities in sentencing, most explanations focus on individual-level differences. We argue that structural gender equality has an important influence on gender disparities as well. Drawing from previous research on victimization, we provide a test of the ameliorative and backlash hypotheses. Using federal sentencing data from 1999-2003, we demonstrate how measures of structural gender equality contextualize the relationship between gender and sentencing. Our analyses suggest that structural gender equality is important for understanding the relationship between gender and sentencing, but different measures of gender equality lead to distinct patterns.
Oil Palm Plantations Affect Movement Behavior of a Key Member of Mixed-Species Flocks of Forest Birds in Amazonia, Brazil

Published: February 2017

Oil palm ( Elaeis guineensis) is a rapidly expanding crop in the Amazonian region of Brazil. Brazilian law requires all landowners, including oil palm plantations, to maintain forest reserves and forested riparian corridors as a way to limit biodiversity losses. Because of these laws and the forest-like structure of oil palm, these plantations may function as habitat for some native species in the region. We tested this assumption by experimentally translocating Cinereous Antshrikes ( Thamnomanes caesius), a forest understory insectivorous bird and nuclear member of mixed-species flocks, from forest reserves to riparian corridors within a large oil palm plantation landscape and tracked their movements back to their home ranges. In total, we recorded the movements of 18 individuals, 8 of which were translocated. The other 10 individuals were tracked within their home ranges in the forest reserves. Six of the eight translocated birds successfully returned to their forest home range, but only one bird flew through the more direct route back through the oil palm matrix while the rest took longer routes through adjoining riparian corridors. Homing time for translocated birds averaged 9.57 (±2.23 SE) days. The home range of birds within the forest reserves averaged 2.39 (±0.69 SE) ha, and, with the exception of the single returning bird, Cinereous Antshrikes were never detected in oil palm. Our results suggest that oil palm plantations are a barrier to movements of our study species, and that riparian corridors connecting forest fragments may be effective routes for dispersal.
Why Work with Undergraduate Researchers? Differences in Research Advisors’ Motivations and Outcomes by Career Stage
Authors: Hayward Charles N. , Laursen Sandra L. , Thiry Heather
Published: February 2017

Undergraduate research is often hailed as a solution to increasing the number and quality of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics graduates needed to fill the high-tech jobs of the future. Student benefits of research are well documented but the emerging literature on advisors’ perspectives is incomplete: only a few studies have included the graduate students and postdocs who often serve as research advisors, and not much is known about why research advisors choose to work with undergraduate researchers. We report the motivations for advising undergraduate researchers, and the related costs and benefits of doing so, from 30 interviews with research advisors at various career stages. Many advisors stated intrinsic motivations, but a small group of early-career advisors expressed only instrumental motivations. We explore what this means for how advisors work with student researchers, the benefits students may or may not gain from the experience, and the implications for training and retaining research advisors who can provide high-quality research experiences for undergraduate students.
The Politics of Evidence Use in Health Policy Making in Germany—the Case of Regulating Hospital Minimum Volumes
Authors: Ettelt Stefanie
Published: February 2017

This article examines the role of scientific evidence in informing health policy decisions in Germany, using minimum volumes policy as a case study. It argues that scientific evidence was used strategically at various stages of the policy process both by individual corporatist actors and by the Federal Joint Committee as the regulator. Minimum volumes regulation was inspired by scientific evidence suggesting a positive relationship between service volume and patient outcomes for complex surgical interventions. Federal legislation was introduced in 2002 to delegate the selection of services and the setting of volumes to corporatist decision makers. Yet, despite being represented in the Federal Joint Committee, hospitals affected by its decisions took the Committee to court to seek legal redress and prevent policy implementation. Evidence has been key to support, and challenge, decisions about minimum volumes, including in court. The analysis of the role of scientific evidence in minimum volumes regulation in Germany highlights the dynamic relationship between evidence use and the political and institutional context of health policy making, which in this case is characterized by the legislative nature of policy making, corporatism, and the role of the judiciary in reviewing policy decisions.
Feminist Voices of the 1990s Generation
Authors: Anishchenkova Valerie
Published: February 2017

The generation of Egyptian writers and other culture makers whose creative work started to come out during the transformative 1990s produced new distinct discourses on identity, including those related to gender. This article closely examines Miral al-Tahawy’s novel Blue Aubergine (1998) as representative of the New Age feminist writing of Jil al-Tisʾinaat. This antiestablishment form of feminism rebelled against the ideologies of previous movements. It distorted the conventional binaries, such as secular versus Islamic, and promoted hybridity. Finally, it prioritized individual constructions of female identity and plurality of representation. The article investigates the novel’s narrative aspects—hybridity, polyphony, intertextuality—which illustrate the quest for a new Egyptian female identity.

Σημαντικό είναι το ποσοστό της ψυχολογικής βίας και μικρό της σεξουαλικής βίας (κυρίως σεξουαλικά ταπεινωτικά σχόλια). Η έρευνα έδειξε επίσης πως η άσκηση βίας προκαλεί θυμό, εκνευρισμό και τάση για εκδίκηση στα θύματα. Οι θύτες συνήθως μετανιώνουν και δε θέλουν να το ξανακάνουν. Η εκδήλωση φαινομένων βίας, μολονότι καλλιεργεί κλίμα ανασφάλειας σε αρκετούς μαθητές, είναι αντιμετωπίσιμη και μάλιστα με τρόπους που προτείνουν οι ίδιοι. Είναι ενθαρρυντικό το ότι ένα πολύ μεγάλο ποσοστό μαθητών δήλωσε πως θα συμμετείχε σε ένα πρόγραμμα πρόληψης, καθώς θεωρεί ότι η σχολική βία είναι μια πολύ σοβαρή υπόθεση.
Η επανεξέταση της ελληνικής υπαίθρου μέσα απο δυναμική μεθοδολογική προσέγγιση και την αξιοποίηση των γεωγραφικών συστημάτων πληροφοριών

Στο παρόν κείμενο παρουσιάζεται μια δυναμική μεθοδολογική προσέγγιση, η οποία έχει σχεδιαστεί έτσι ώστε να ενσωματώνει κοινωνικοοικονομικά και χωρικά δεδομένα της ελληνικής υπαίθρου για την αποτίμηση των διαφοροποιήσεων στο εσωτερικό της. Η εν λόγω μεθοδολογική προσέγγιση στηρίζεται στα γεωγραφικά συστήματα πληροφοριών (ΓΣΠ) που ενδείκνυνται για το συνδυασμό εμπειρικών, χωρικών και στατιστικών στοιχείων με δεδηλωμένο σκοπό την κατασκευή και τον έλεγχο σύνθετων κριτηρίων για την απεικόνιση της διαφοροποίησης της αγροτικής Ελλάδας. Πεδίο εφαρμογής της προτεινόμενης μεθοδολογίας είναι η περιοχή της Πελοποννήσου, καθώς αποτελεί μια σχετικά αυτοτελή γεωγραφική ενότητα και χαρακτηρίζεται από σημαντικές διαφοροποιήσεις στο εσωτερικό της. Τα σύνθετα κριτήρια που χρησιμοποιούνται στην ανάλυση αποτελούν στην πραγματικότητα πολυμεταβλητούς δείκτες, οι οποίοι έχουν οργανωθεί κατάλληλα ώστε να αντανακλούν συγκεκριμένα χαρακτηριστικά (απασχόλησης, χωρικά, δημογραφικά και αγροτικά) της υπαίθρου. Τα τελευταία έχουν συγκροτηθεί με βάση στατιστικούς ελέγχους των μεταβλητών, ενώ ο ορισμός τους έχει επιβεβαιωθεί θεωρητικά. Υπογραμμίζεται ότι αυτά τα χαρακτηριστικά εκλαμβάνονται ως σχετικά συμπαγείς παράγοντες που επιτρέπουν να αποτιμηθεί η κοινωνικοοικονομική και χωρική πολυμορφία των αγροτικών περιοχών. Η παρούσα μεθοδολογία οδηγεί σε μια χαρτογραφική αποτύπωση της «ζωνοποίησης» της ελληνικής υπαίθρου σύμφωνα με το βαθμό στον οποίο οι περιοχές της υπαίθρου συγκεντρώνουν ευνοϊκά ή μη ευνοϊκά αναπτυξιακά χαρακτηριστικά
Ριζοσπαστισμός ή/και απάθεια. Όψεις της πολιτικής συμπεριφοράς των ανέργων στην Ελλάδα κατά τη διάρκεια της οικονομικής κρίσης.
Authors: Καφέ Αναστασία
Published: February 2017

Η ανεργία είναι ένα σύγχρονο πολιτικό και κοινωνικό ζήτημα και γι’ αυτό το λόγο συνηθίζεται να συνδέεται με την πολιτική συμπεριφορά. Στη διεθνή βιβλιογραφία η ανεργία χρησιμοποιείται ως μακροοικονομικός δείκτης ενώ η χρήση συγκεντρωτικών δεδομένων δεν εξηγεί τι συμβαίνει σχετικά με την επίδραση του βιώματος της ανεργίας στην πολιτική συμπεριφορά σε ατομικό επίπεδο. Προκειμένου να εξετάσει κανείς τις άμεσες επιπτώσεις της ανεργίας θα πρέπει να μελετήσεις τις αντιλήψεις και τη συμπεριφορά των ίδιων των ανέργων. Στην παρούσα εργασία μελετούμε τον τρόπο με τον οποίο το ίδιο το βίωμα της ανεργίας συνδέεται με την πολιτική συμπεριφορά και διερευνούμε αν και αυτό καθορίζει την πολιτική συμπεριφορά των ανέργων. Με μια σειρά συνεντεύξεων με ανέργους διερευνούμε τις διαφορετικές εκφάνσεις της πολιτικής τους συμπεριφορά, καταλήγοντας σε δύο βασικές πτυχές, τον ριζοσπαστισμό και την απάθεια με ενδιάμεσα στάδια και εξηγούμε τις διεργασίες που οδηγούν στην εναλλαγή συμπεριφοράς.

Regional Languages in Indonesian Educational System: a comparison study of Javanese, Sundanese and Dayak languages teaching programs
Authors: Gumilar Teija
Published: February 2017

Indonesian language has been a lingua franca between 1.128 ethnical groups speaking 746 regional languages and dialects, living in the Republic of Indonesia. The domination of Indonesian language in daily practice, the emerging popularity of foreign languages and the change in socio-economic condition have adverse impacts to  the existence of regional languages. By 2007 about 35% of those languages are believed to be disappearing. Some ethnical groups with large population succeeded developing their languages through elaborate standardization, better teaching programs and rich literary works. Since 2004 government and linguists have been working on ef-fective regional languages teaching and promotion pro-grams. As the educational policy lies in the hand of pro-vincial government, new strategies have been implemented to incorporate regional language teaching into local content subjects within elementary, secondary and high schools respectively. In this paper the author will show a comparison study between teaching programs of Javanese, Sundanese and Dayak languages.
‘THE RULE OF THREE’ IN THE GROWTH STORIES – GANGBAIK LEE’S DRAMA “LIKE LOOKING AT THE FLOWER IN THE MIDWINTER”
Authors: KIM Mansu
Published: February 2017

This paper focused on the structure of the growth stories, especially in surveying Gangbaek Lee’s (이강백) drama “Like Looking at the Flower in the Mid-winter (동지섣달 꽃 본 듯이)”. It is structured by ‘rule of the three’. In this text, three sons go to seek their mother, they experience the tests three times. Third son wins the game because he succeeds to find his true and alternative mother. It is similar to the story of English fairy tale “Three Little Pigs”.  In Freudian terms, the characters of the both texts are superego, ego and id. The core of the growth story is that third son (id) wins the first son (superego) and the second son (ego) by using his own energy (meaningful labor). In Levi Strauss’ terms, the contrast between the third and the others can be schemed the contrast between culture and nature. Lee’s drama presents the third son as the real hero who overcomes two elder brothers. The first is so conservative (oversleep), the second is so selfish (overeat). Two brothers were too political or too ideal to become a true, humanistic and warm-minded adult. In his view, ‘drama’ related to the third son is the most humanistic and warm-minded action in the world. These both stories are based on the plot ‘rags to riches’ which contains the success of the poor and powerless. In other words, the poor and weak child can grow to the true hero, and reach the final destination, according to the Gustav Jung’s expression, ‘the Self as a Whole’.
ON SOME SELECTED PROBLEMS OF KOREAN ABBREVIOLOGY
Authors: BOROWIAK Anna
Published: February 2017

Given the fact that we live in the era where the pace of life is constantly speeding up, it is no surprise that ‘the economy of language’ - meaning the efficient usage of language in order to achieve the maximum effect for the minimum effort has become so important in everyday life. Using abbreviated forms of different kinds is supposed to help us to economize continuously insufficient amount of time. Their overuse, however, can hamper effective communication and bring the adverse effect from what the speaker’s intention was – namely to communicate the message clearly and unambiguously and receive a response to it in a short time. Incomprehension or misunderstanding of the message leads, in fact, to unnecessarily prolonging the conversation since it requires asking additional questions in order to explain what is unclear to the listener. Reduced forms used mainly in spoken Korean can largely be divided into lexical and grammatical ones. Lexical shortenings of different kinds such as acronyms, blends, clippings etc. although rarely and rather briefly discussed by Korean linguists and basically excluded from the debate on word-formation issues definitely deserve much more attention taking into account their extensive usage. As for grammatical abbreviations, despite its frequent occurrence, the subject is not that often taken up and discussed either. The aim of this article is to present some characteristic properties of grammatical abbreviations used mainly in spoken Korean. The reduced forms in question will be divided into three categories namely - particles, endings and grammatical constructions and discussed separately. This article however focuses only on those abbreviated forms, which means leaving the subject of particle or word ellipsis beyond its scope.
ASPECTS OF KOREAN LITERATURE ACCORDING TO THE STAGE OF ECONOMIC GROWTH: FOCUSED ON THE VIEWS OF AMERICA
Authors: KIM Mansu
Published: February 2017

The main topic of this paper is how the economic growth has changed the aspect of Korean novel in the viewpoints of the theory of W. W. Rostow. But the additional topic is Korean's viewpoint on American which had been reflected in Korean novels. Korea has made a long relationship to the United States since 1882. Korea have kept friendly and cooperative relationship to American. But sometimes the relationship was changed rapidly to the opponent or critical attitudes. It should be the universal phenomenon that the people of weak nations begin to have strong nationalistic feelings with the pace of economic growth and gather to show a strong enmity against the strong nation especially against the United States. According to this universal patterns, Korean admired American at first. But after rising to the stage of ‘take-off’, they began to turn to the opponent and critical attitudes. Finally at the age of high mass consumption, they will not compare to America any more because they belong to the similar economic situation. The economy of Japan, Korea and China rose up to higher level at the rapid speed. But the strong nationalistic feelings remained incessantly among their nations. The “European Dream” is one of the attitudes in which individuals find security not through individual accumulation of wealth, but through connectivity and respect for other nations. Our neighbouring countries and Korea must learn the attitudes of European Dream and try to establish this system in East Asia.
TRADITION OF KOREAN LANDSCAPE. ITS HISTORIC PERSPECTIVE AND INDIGENIZATION
Authors: LEE Hye Seung
Published: February 2017

This paper aims to provide general presentation of Korean landscape painting with historic consideration. Some Korean elements of landscape were introduced in the early 5th century, and since the 7th century, mountains have become an important theme in the formation of the image space. From the 10th to the 17th centuries, the Korean landscape developed under Chinese rule. However, in the early 18th century a new painting trend – “Koreanization of the Korean landscape” – appeared and there also had emerged the folk landscape style. Furthermore, in the contemporary Korean landscape there are various attempts towards the search for one’s own artistic vision.
KOREAN SHAMANISM – THE RELIGION OF WOMEN
Authors: OH Kyong-geun
Published: February 2017

Shamanism is one of the oldest religions that have existed around the world. But Korean shamanism is very exceptionally in the world, because it is monopolized by women. This article focuses on the main reasons for that state of affairs. Korean shamanism has never been accepted by the ruling class as an official religion. It was not supported by the elites of the society, so it has functioned only at the margin of culture and society. Confucian-patriarchy in the Joseon dynasty (1392-1897) was one of the main reasons why Korean shamanism became the religion of women. According to Confucian ideology there must be sexual segregation in the household, and it was extended even to ritual performances for the gods. Men satisfied their religious needs through Confucianism, but they completely excluded women from it. As women were excluded from Confucian ceremonies they needed to find a religion for themselves. The gods worshiped in shamanism and the shamanistic ritual itself were treated by the ruling class as coarse and vulgar, suitable only for people of lower classes and women. The gods in Korean shamanism are not providing people with noble ideals or dreams, they just support human beings by protecting them against bad luck and bringing them good luck. A Korean shamanistic ritual consists mainly of dances and singing. Shamans communicate with their gods in a trance induced by dancing vigorously. In the Joseon dynasty dominated by Confucian ideology it was very unsuitable for men.
Anna versus Xenia. Pułapki biograficznej lektury Zamieci Stefana Żeromskiego
Authors: Utkowska Beata
Published: February 2017

An attempt is undertaken in this paper to demonstrate what traps are inherent in a biographical reading of Stefan Żeromski’s Zamieć (Blizzard). The author traces relations between Anna Zawadzka (the writer’s partner) and Xenia Granowska (the novel’s protagonist) and reconstructs the background to the text. The analysis implies it would be far safer to treat Zamieć as a broadly-defined autobiographical novel than to build straightforward parallels between Anna and Xenia.
Stefan Żeromski na łamach „Tygodnika Ilustrowanego” w roku 1912
Authors: Gabryś-Sławińska Monika
Published: February 2017

The objective of the present article is to analyze Sine ira, the cycle of sketches by Adam Grzymała-Siedlecki, as a testimony of Stefan Żeromski’s impact on shaping historical and political ideas of his times, but also as the new manner the works of a known artist functioned on the pages of „Illustrated Weekly”. After having presented current reviews and publication of Żeromski’s oeuvre, in 1912 the editors of the Warsaw journal offer its readers a critical overview of The History of Sin and Rose, both inspired by the revolution of 1905-1907. The accusations unmasking the “errors” in thinking and writing about the revolution formulated by the journalist take into consideration particularly the recipient’s perspective. These accusations are becoming part of the journal’s strategy to inform about conflicts, current in the context of growing antagonisms in Europe.

„Wzruszenie trwalsze niż ściany gmachów obróconych w gruz”. Między tradycją a nowoczesnością: Irzykowski wobec Żeromskiego
Authors: Panek Sylwia
Published: February 2017

This paper shall discuss Karol Irzykowski’s views on the prose work of Stefan Żeromski. The shifting nature of the former towards the latter – author of Ludzie Bezdomni [The Homeless] 1899 – shall be examined; ones that changed from criticism to approval. In this context Irzykowski’s critical concept developed in his collection of essays, Czyn i słowo [Action and the Word] 1913, shall be taken into account and it shall also be argued that Irzykowski’s polemical discourse in respect to Żeromski was an integral part of his literary manifesto.

Twórcze echa neurotycznej młodości Żeromskiego, czyli pisarstwo wywiedzione z Dzienników
Authors: Okulicz-Kozaryn Radosław
Published: February 2017

Until now, Stanisław Żeromski’s writings have not been viewed with regard to literature common to the age of anxiety from the turn of the eighties and nineties of the 19th century, though there are numerous common aspects shared by both. These are clearly discernible in the early works of the writer, written in his youthful days, and shaped among others by J. Ochorowicz’s literary piece Z dziennika psychologa (“From a psychologist’s diary”) concerning the latter’s views on the neuropsychological system of man, the acquired habitual self-analysis and autobiographism rooted in the practical activities of a diarist; all of which surface both in the subject matter, the singularity of style, narration, as well as the composition of later works by the author. By devoting the majority of space and attention to identifying and tracing literary awareness in his intimate notes from 1882 to 1891 – of which one volume carries the title Dziennik człowieka nerwowego (“Diary of the anxious man”) – R. Okulicz-Kozaryn portrays its role in Siłaczka (“The Strongwoman”), Mogiła (“The Grave”) and Źródło (“The Source”), also in Ludzie bezdomni (“The Homeless”). He further claims that Żeromski’s Dzienniki (“Diaries”) should be presented as its laboratory sample, whereas the entire literary output of the writer ought to be interpreted as more advanced consequences of the then initiated experiment.
Metafizyczne enklawy w prozie Stefana Żeromskiego
Authors: Kielak Dorota
Published: February 2017

The articles presents an interpretation of selected topics from the Stefan Żeromski’s novel which form an articulation of the nineteenth century changes taking place within the metaphysics. The scene in which the protagonists from Żeromski’s novels experienced communication with the dead and lived through the inner enlightenment have been analyzed. The article also describes the poetics of articulation of metaphysical experience in the prose of Żeromski paying particular attention to the theme of light equivalentizing the internal initiation of heroes, leading them mainly to cross the barriers of death. From this perspective, the articles interprets such motives as birch, earth and kiss as functionalizing metaphysical experience of the heroes described in the novels. The analysis of these metaphysical enclaves in the prose of Żeromski allowed to put forward the thesis that the metaphysics of the writer is not inspired by philosophy or theology of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, but by faith in the strength of family and native ties and by the power of human community which leads man into another dimension of reality.
Informacyjny nadmiar i niedobór – dylematy edytora dramatów Żeromskiego. (Rzecz o Sułkowskim i Ponad śnieg bielszym się stanę)
Authors: Legutko Grażyna
Published: February 2017

The article presents the problems faced by a modern editor of Stefan Żeromski’s dramas. In the case of the drama „Sułkowski” an editor has at their disposal extremely rich material enabling a detailed editorial commentary (connected with the origin of the drama, the historical sources used by Żeromski, subsequent stages of working on the text, publishing history, etc.), they do not however have the possibility to describe the original final draft of Sułkowski because it has not endured. In the case of „Ponad śnieg bielszym się stanę” (“Whiter Than Snow Shall I Be”), an editor does not have any concrete information which would show the birth of the idea of the drama and would give the testimony of working on the text; the editor does not also have any information about the first printing. Although the lack of extratextual information makes carrying out a critical editing of „Ponad śnieg bielszym się stanę” (“Whiter Than Snow Shall I Be”) more difficult, the endured original final draft and several pages of drama do recompense it in a way.
Lex petrolea jako autonomiczny reżim prawny prawa międzynarodowego
Authors: Osiejewicz Joanna
Published: February 2017

Specyficzny dział lex petrolea wykształcił się na gruncie doktryny krajowej i międzynarodowej, ustawodawstw krajowych regulujących sektor energetyczny, umów naftowych, orzecznictwa, a także praktyki podmiotów funkcjonujących w przemyśle naftowym. Zarówno procesy internacjonalizacji, jak i rozwiązania partykularnych problemów w tym sektorze są globalnie bardzo podobne i podążają raczej za trendami międzynarodowymi niż krajowymi. Doktryna światowa boryka się jednak z brakiem powszechnej zgody co do uznania bądź nieuznania lex petrolea za odrębny reżim prawny. Celem artykułu jest uporządkowanie wiedzy z tego zakresu w drodze analizy dorobku doktryny prawa międzynarodowego, umów zawieranych dla umożliwienia dokonywania czynności sektorze naftowym, relewantnych orzeczeń sądów arbitrażowych i praktyki działania zaangażowanych podmiotów. Po ustaleniu istoty lex petrolea oraz kształtu normatywnego tego reżimu, wyniki analizy porównano z poszczególnymi założeniami przyjętymi w Raporcie Grupy Roboczej Komisji Prawa Międzynarodowego, zawierającym propozycję kryteriów uznania grupy norm dotyczących szczególnego zakresu merytorycznego za reżim autonomiczny i stosowania jej jako lex specialis. Pozwoliło to na potwierdzenie hipotezy, że lex petrolea stanowi autonomiczny reżim prawny.

Prawo intertemporalne w państwie prawnym
Authors: Mikołajewicz Jarosław
Published: February 2017

W niniejszym opracowaniu przedstawiono podstawowe związki między tzw. prawem intertemporalnym a zasadą państwa prawnego. Zasadę tę osadzono w strukturze ontycznej prawa wyznaczanej deklarowanym konstytucyjnie uznaniem godności ludzkiej za źródło praw i wolności jednostki. Praw zatem niedysponowanych, albowiem jednym z aspektów prawa fundowanego na związkach z godnością ludzką jest jego niearbitralność (w sensie, że człowiek nie może być środkiem prawa, zawsze jest jego celem). Po rozpoznaniu kontekstu filozoficznego, normatywnego, kognitywnego i historycznego problematyki intertemporalnej skrótowo została przedstawiona ona sama. Problematyka prawa intertemporalnego pozostaje w ścisłych związkach z zasadą państwa prawnego, traktowaną jako koniunktywnie pojęta zasada zasad służących realizacji przyjętej koncepcji państwa prawnego. Zasada państwa prawnego chroni trzy podstawowe wartości łączące się z zagadnieniami intertemporalnymi. Pierwszą jest wolność ludzka; drugą ‒ pewność prawa, trzecią ‒ jasność i przejrzystość prawa (co skądinąd można traktować jako przejaw pewności prawa), której ochronie służą m.in. zasady poprawności legislacyjnej. To właśnie zasada państwa prawnego jest podstawowym wyznacznikiem prawnej poprawności decyzji prawodawczej co do stanowienia regulacji intertemporalnych, podstawową jej funkcją jest zaś ochrona jednostki przed nielegitymowanymi działaniami organów władzy publicznej.
Wpływ europeizacji prawa na standardy ochrony jednostki przed władzą dyskrecjonalną organów administracji publicznej
Authors: Jędrzejczak Maria
Published: February 2017

W artykule zostało przedstawione pojęcie dyskrecjonalności w polskim prawie administracyjnym oraz w prawie unijnym. Nierównorzędność stron stosunku administracyjnoprawnego jest potęgowana przez działanie organów administracji publicznej w ramach władzy dyskrecjonalnej. Sytuacja prawna jednostki wobec organu ulega tym większej dysproporcji, im więcej luzu decyzyjnego przyznanego przez prawodawcę posiada organ. Problem ten zauważa także prawodawca unijny. Z tego względu istniejące standardy oraz planowane regulacje w zakresie prawa administracyjnego (Europejski kodeks postępowania administracyjnego) mają na celu przede wszystkim ochronę jednostki. Wskazuje się na konieczność zachowania równowagi między interesem publicznym a słusznym interesem strony. Trybunał Sprawiedliwości Unii Europejskiej zauważył, że w porządku międzynarodowym podmiotami są nie tylko państwa członkowskie, ale także same jednostki i to one zostały objęte szczególną ochroną prawną.
Wybrane uwagi na temat charakteru i statusu lex sportiva w przestrzeni prawnomiędzynarodowej
Authors: Widłak Tomasz
Published: February 2017

Artykuł podejmuje tematykę charakteru prawnego i miejsca prawa sportowego w strukturze prawa międzynarodowego. Obejmuje rozważania nad typami źródeł prawa, zakresem przedmiotowym i podmiotowym (instytucjonalnym) prawa sportowego na poziomie międzynarodowym, porusza kwestię konieczności usystematyzowania terminologii w zakresie takich pojęć, jak ‘międzynarodowy porządek’ i ‘system sportowy’. Autor podejmuje próbę przybliżenia definicji terminu lex sportiva, a także prezentuje wybrane uwagi i obserwacje na temat jego klasyfikacji jako, odpowiednio, prawa międzynarodowego, transnarodowego, globalnego i ponadnarodowego. W końcowej części argumentuje za opisem lex sportiva w kategoriach globalnego prawa administracyjnego i wskazuje na jego innowacyjne cechy, mogące stanowić potencjalnie atrakcyjną modelową propozycję lex ferenda nowego prawa globalnego.
