Education for Peace and the Idea of Fraternity and Community Friendship
Authors: Babicki Zbigniew , Cassens Manfred
Published: December 2023

Zagadnienie pokoju jest przedmiotem badań zarówno jako element nauki, jak również jako element codziennego życia. Kształtowanie ludzkich postaw zmierzających do akceptacji pokojowego współistnienia społeczeństw i narodów jest jednym z najważniejszych celów wychowania. Zbudowanie trwałego pokoju na świecie jest samą istotą edukacji. Wychowanie dla pokoju jest długofalowym procesem budowanym na rozumieniu innych ludzi, empatii i miłości braterskiej, która prowadzi do dialogu. Takie stanowisko jest blisko wizji papieża Franciszka, który swoją koncepcję wychowania dla pokoju opiera na idei braterstwa i przyjaźni społecznej. Celem artykułu jest ukazanie intelektualnych odniesień różnych wizji i koncepcji wychowania dla pokoju. Mimo niekiedy różnic w podejściu co do istoty i drogi praktycznej realizacji pedagogiki pokoju, to wspólnym mianownikiem tych koncepcji jest dobro człowieka i dobro wspólne.
Jane Addams: A Social Scientist’s Experience in the Struggle for Peaceful Conflict Resolution —A Lesson for Contemporary Pedagogy
Authors: Naumiuk Agnieszka
Published: December 2023

Artykuł podejmuje zagadnienie edukacji dla pokoju w kontekście jednostkowych doświadczeń, na podstawie opisu życia i działalności amerykańskiej aktywistki Jane Addams, laureatki pokojowej nagrody Nobla z 1931 roku. Zarówno jej codzienna działalność która jest interpretowana jako stwarzanie pozytywnych kontekstów zapobiegania konfliktom zbrojnym, jak też późniejszy pacyfistyczny radykalizm, stanowią integralną postawę sprzeciwu wobec wojny jako rozwiązywania sporów, i traktowania wojny jako usprawiedliwiania obrony pokoju na świecie. Jej doświadczenia sprzed wieku stają się dla nas „lekcją” dla współczesności, iż edukowanie dla pokoju nie oznacza wymuszania deklaracji czy powielania stereotypów, a stanowi proces szczerej dyskusji oraz zachodzących przemian w dojrzewającej refleksyjności jednostek i grup nad wartościami tworzonymi w obrębie całej wspólnoty ludzkiej oraz nad rolą kobiet w tym dziele.

Artykuł bada możliwości, wyzwania i ograniczenia związane z wdrażaniem edukacji dla pokoju z wykorzystaniem przestrzeni mediów społecznościowych.
Autonomy and Coping with Stress in Persons with ASD
Authors: Prokopiak Anna
Published: December 2023

This article presents empirical analysis of selected issues related to autonomy of persons with ASD, along with the psychosocial conditions of its development. This analysis is an attempt to determine direct causes and particular types of conditions necessary for the development of autonomy in people with autism, manifested in the capacity of coping with stress. The theoretical basis for the research is the three-component model of autonomy, under which autonomy is an internal attribute of each person, manifesting itself in the qualities of authorship (the person feels to be the author of his/her own behaviour), interest-taking (reflection on internal and external events), and absence of the perceived sense of pressure or control.

The research problems in this study concern the level of autonomy in people with ASD, the level of their psychosocial functioning in the dimension of coping with stress, and the potential correlations between the two parameters.

A diagnostic survey method was used to obtain the research material, which employed the following research tools: Index of Autonomous Functioning, The Autism-Spectrum Quotient, Coping Inventory, the author’s own Interview Questionnaire, developed for the purposes of our study regarding age, gender, marital status, residence, education, income, past therapy and current health conditions.

Ochrobactrum Anthropi; an Unusual Cause of Bacteremia and Pneumonia:
A Case Report and a Brief Review of the Literature
Authors: Chao Zefr , Fayyaz Anaam , Antony Suresh
Published: December 2023

Background:

Ochrobactrum anthropi spp. is a non-enteric, aerobic gram-negative bacillus
that has been reported to cause sepsis and occasionally bacteremia in both immunocompetent and immunocompromised hosts. This bacterium is capable of surviving in various habitats, but due to its affinity for aqueous environments, O. anthropi is hypothesized to have an affinity for indwelling plastic devices and other foreign bodies.

Case Presentation:

We report a case of a 66 y/o male with a history of polysubstance abuse disorder
admitted for toxic metabolic encephalopathy and found to have bronchopneumonia and bacteremia secondary to O. anthropi infection, resulting in sepsis and cardiopulmonary arrest

Discussion:

Ochrobactrum spp. is an unusual pathogen of low virulence and has been noted to cause
bacteremia and occasionally sepsis in both immunocompetent and immunosuppressed patients. Isolation
of this pathogen in the appropriate setting should be considered a true pathogen and treated as such to
avoid sequela of this infection.

Conclusion:

This case report and literature review suggest that Ochrobactrum Anthropi appears more
frequently as a pathogen in nosocomial infections than suggested in the literature.
Japanese Midwives’ Perceptions of Goal Setting with Hospitalized Women with Pregnancy Complications: A Qualitative Descriptive Study
Authors: Iwata Tomomi , Matsuzaki Masayo
Published: December 2023

Background:

Midwives aid hospitalized women with pregnancy complications in setting pregnancy duration goals for maternal and fetal well-being. However, there is little research regarding midwives’ views on goal setting among inpatients with pregnancy complications.

Objective:

This study examined how Japanese midwives perceive the significance of goal setting among women hospitalized for pregnancy complications.

Methods:

This qualitative descriptive study was conducted at five tertiary perinatal centers in Mie Prefecture, Japan, from January 2019 to June 2020. Data were collected through purposive sampling using semi-structured, one-on-one interviews with Japanese midwives experienced in antenatal care for high-risk pregnant women. Qualitative content analysis was used to analyze the data.

Results:

Thirteen midwives participated in this study. According to the data analysis, goal setting is significant in four ways: (a) relieving psychological distress among pregnant women, (b) helping pregnant women think positively about their efforts to continue the pregnancy, (c) promoting the transition to motherhood, and (d) contributing to the effective care of pregnant women.

Conclusion:

This study indicates midwives’ recognition that goal setting positively contributes to the psychosocial status of hospitalized pregnant women and the care provided to them. These results suggest that midwives support pregnant women in goal setting by considering their current situation and future mother–child relationships.

Authors: Purba Iman Pasu , Tauran Tauran , Widianti Alifia , Lianna Irma
Published: December 2023

This research is a type of socio-legal research with a qualitative approach that, in collecting data, uses two types of data sources: primary from interviews with informants and secondary obtained from reading book searches and product analysis of applicable laws and regulations related to persons with disabilities. This study aims to determine the extent to which the fulfillment of the right to work for persons with disabilities has been carried out in the City of Surabaya by the City Government through the performance of authorized regional institutions and the underlying legal products. This research is a topic that is quite important and has urgency today because, considering the increasingly rapid current of modernization now, it does not necessarily improve the quality of fulfilling human rights (HAM), especially for people with disabilities, who often receive discrimination from the surrounding environment, especially in the field of work. In the field of work, persons with disabilities have the same rights as non-disabled workers, as explained in the 1945 NRI Constitution Article 28D Paragraph (2). A derivative of the reading of the Article of the Constitution is in Law Number 13 of 2003 concerning Manpower, which also discusses employment rights for persons with disabilities. In the future, Local Regulation to protect disabled persons is needed.
Exploring character education through batik Pekalongan local wisdom: An innovative approach to character learning
Authors: Kusnadi Kusnadi
Published: December 2023

This research investigates the capacity of incorporating indigenous knowledge into the traditional craft of Batik Pekalongan to promote character education and facilitate learning. Batik Pekalongan, an Indonesian textile, is a cultural legacy extending beyond its conventional fabric use. UNESCO has officially designated it as an intangible cultural treasure. The study technique used is a qualitative literature review. The results indicate that including Batik Pekalongan in the curriculum may successfully cultivate robust character attributes in children, including honesty, collaboration, and responsibility. Engaging in partnerships with local batik communities and artists may further enrich students' educational experience via their direct involvement in the batik-making process. This research emphasizes the possibility of using indigenous wisdom in traditional craftsmanship to foster desirable personality qualities and provides a viable alternative to standard character education methods. By integrating indigenous knowledge, education may become more context-specific, pertinent, and efficient in fostering persons with strong moral values and principles.
Exploring citizenship competencies in Pancasila subjects through local wisdom in the Merdeka curriculum
Authors: Suryaningsih Anis , Winarno Winarno , Hed Norhafiza Mohd , Widiatmaka Pipit
Published: December 2023

Teachers are at the forefront of building students' competencies for junior high school education, especially local wisdom-based civic competence, but during the implementation of the independent curriculum, the competencies mastered by students are still not optimal. This study aims to ascertain the level of local wisdom-based civic competence that students possess, the challenges that Pancasila subjects present to students in developing local wisdom-based civic competence, and potential solutions for fostering local wisdom-based civic competence in the era of independent curricula. This research was conducted at SMP Negeri 1 Pacitan, and the research subjects were students. This research uses a qualitative approach and a descriptive research method because it tries to describe the competencies mastered by students, the obstacles to building them, and solutions to these obstacles, especially those related to local wisdom-based civic competence in the era of an independent curriculum. Data collection techniques are interviews, observation, and documentation, and the data analysis used is interactive data analysis. Students have not been able to master civic competence optimally because they have not been able to implement civic disposition optimally and master civic disposition and civic skills more. This can happen because there are several obstacles, namely less than optimal teacher competence, unsupportive facilities and infrastructure, teachers being often late in starting lessons, poor student ethics towards teachers, and still teachers who cannot utilize digital-based learning media. The solution that needs to be done is for the government to make a policy to provide education and training to teachers related to understanding and implementing the Merdeka curriculum. This needs to be done so that each teacher can improve his competence so that his role in the learning process can increase civic competence based on local wisdom in students.

Published: December 2023

The Pancasila Student Profile certainly needs to be actualized in students so that they can have the ability, achievement, and noble character. This study aims to determine the development of an encyclopedia learning medium for Pancasila and citizenship education based on interactive multimedia to increase the profile of Pancasila students at Korpri Karawang High School. The type of research used is a research and development approach with the ADDIE model; this research uses a mixed-methods approach—data collection techniques using a questionnaire. The data analysis techniques used are deductive analysis, inductive analysis, reliability tests, validity tests, reliability tests, normality tests, homogeneity tests,  the mean test of two independent samples, and hypothesis testing. The results showed that the valuation of the civic education Encyclopedia learning media validation instrument showed that the instrument used was feasible at 80%. There is a significant difference in the increase in the profile of Pancasila students in class X at Korpri Karawang High School after being given civic education encyclopedia learning media. A comparative sample test related to the experimental class with the paired sample test obtained a significance result of 0.000, meaning that H0: μc = μk is rejected because 0.000 0.05 and H1: μc μk is accepted. This research recommends that in the learning process, it is hoped that teachers can utilize technology by using civic education encyclopedia learning media products that can be implemented with students during the learning process.
A systematic literature review on civic engagement program through citizenship education
Authors: Maulana Muhammad Yunus , Milanti Ajeng Ayu
Published: December 2023

Essentially, project-based learning, currently referred to as a method for citizenship education in higher education, is rooted in the concept of civic engagement, which is the most critical determinant of success in transitioning to adult citizenship. Given the limited involvement of the younger generation in public life, which often remains tokenistic and lacks significant impact on change. With their current capacity, young citizens are considered insufficiently equipped to address the challenges of Indonesia's democratic transition, including the dissemination of disinformation and diminishing political efficacy. Giving precedence to civic engagement programs in citizenship education becomes imperative to fortify democracy. Thus, the refinement of concepts and instructional methodologies for citizenship education requires a comprehensive review of scholarly articles. This research attempts to bridge the gap in systematic literature reviews on this subject, which have not thoroughly examined articles addressing civic engagement programming in terms of concepts and methods. The study employs a systematic literature review methodology, using articles published in Scopus-indexed journals over the past decade as primary sources. This systematic literature review effectively underscores the extensive progress in the concepts and methodologies of civic engagement programs within citizenship education, signaling a promising trajectory in this field. Furthermore, the review identifies pivotal areas for future research, including the fine-tuning of assessment models for experiential-based instruction and a critical reevaluation of the role of civics education in heightening citizens' political consciousness.
Spiritual origin of national patriotic education in the military chaplaincy system
Authors: Lomachinska Iryna , Alekseienko Olena
Published: December 2023

The article examines the role of military chaplaincy in the formation of national-patriotic education of the Ukrainian army. The relevance and novelty of the research lies in determining the essence of Ukrainian military patriotism’s spiritual foundations, which is formed on the archetypes of "clan", "Father", "Mother", "Family". Historically, "Father" embodies power, dominion not only over the body, but also over the soul, he brings conscience and moral grounds for subordination in the entire military family, based on the principles of fraternity. The archetype of "Mother" was formed from ancient Slavic ideas about Berehynia, in the Christian era it receives a new incarnation in the image of the Mother of God as the heavenly protector of the entire human race.

One of a woman-mother archetype’s varieties in Ukrainian spiritual culture is Mother Nature, which transforms into the archetype of Mother Earth, which in turn is transferred to the paradigm of the native land - "Nenka-Ukraina", creating the archetype of the Motherland. The lack of desire to conquer others and the desire to preserve one's original, native, defines the essence of the Ukrainian army’s patriotism. It has been established that the Orthodox tradition of military chaplaincy is based on the spiritual union of Cossacks and monasticism during the liberation struggle. Later, the formation of the Ukrainian military clergy was closely connected with the Greek Catholic Church, which at that time had the greatest experience in moral and spiritual support of the Ukrainian national liberation struggle participants in the western Ukrainian lands. The dangers of the destructive influence of pro-Russian denominations’ priests on the moral and psychological state of military personnel are analyzed. It was noted that the armed aggression against Ukraine led to the intensified use of the church and the clergy’s potential for consolidation of the population and strengthening of patriotic feelings in servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, as well as to expose and isolate pro-Russian religious communities. On the basis of the positive experience of the leading world’s countries, an own system of professional training and education of personnel was created, which was based on defining principles: national dignity, patriotism, Christian morality, fidelity to the oath, fidelity to military duty.
Artificial intelligence and digital art: current state and development prospects
Authors: Chikarkova Mary
Published: December 2023

The article analyzes the use of artificial intelligence in various types of digital art at the current level of their development and outlines the possibilities of external ways of such interaction. The author considers specific artistic examples, which see that the use of artificial intelligence in art develops a complex art history and philo-sophical questions: what is art? how does computer technology change aesthetics? where is the line between technology and creativity? who is considered the author of the work generated by neuronets? is it possible to compare anthropocentric and non-anthropocentric forms of creativity? etc. The researcher demonstrates different approaches to the chosen topic, citing antagonistic points of view of scientists. Some of them believe that art with the help of a computer is the next step in the development of avant-garde trends, while others see these trends as the degradation and even the death of art. In digital painting, we are already faced with the use of works (the most famous example is the android-artist Ai-Da) who know how to draw in different techniques and with the use of different tools. The victory of a painting generated by a neural network at an art competition raised questions about its au-thorship and the admissibility of participation of such works in competitions for art-ists. Discussions on the ArtStation platform indicate that many artists do not per-ceive works made with the help of artificial intelligence as "real" works of art. In mu-sic today, it is possible not just to generate melodies, but to create an imitation of certain styles or composers, which raises questions about the nature of true creativi-ty and its limits. Another direction of using artificial intelligence in music is the crea-tion of virtual singers who become mega-popular. Such an example is given by the Japanese virtual singer Hatsune Miku, who is a hologram with an android interface and an artificially generated voice. In the field of video games, artificial intelligence knows how to create not only levels, but already generate game target worlds and complete games. Artificial intelligence in photography can generate images of non-existent people. At the same time, it is unlikely that artificial intelligence can com-pletely replace a human artist, after which he learns from the previously created ma-terial. This makes it possible to say that he left real creativity and knows how to compile in advance, and not to generate original artistic solutions.
Artificial intelligence capabilities in the context of the author's conception of creativity
Authors: Raikhert Kostiantyn
Published: December 2023

The study provides some philosophical reflections on the creativity of artificial in-telligence. The study supposes that artificial intelligence can be considered creative only if it creates something new with help of imagination (or its equivalent) and ap-pealing to the so-called “background” (background and general knowledge, biases, competencies, experience, habits, intuition, prejudices, political preferences, skills, stereotypes, values, and others), and its creative activity must be either necessary or arbitrary. Necessary creative activity is related to the solution of specific tasks, for example, within the framework of technical invention or scientific discovery. Arbitrary creative activity is associated with spontaneous, aimless and inexpedient human activity. This type of creative activity takes place when a creative doer has free time, leisure, enthusiasm (hobby), plays a game or is bored. Based on the two types of creative activity, two types of creative artificial intelligence can be distinguished: a weak creative artificial intelligence that makes necessary creative activities related to the tool nature of artificial intelligence, specifically to effectively solving specific problems and tasks, and a strong creative artificial intelligence that makes arbitrary creative activities, that is, creates for the sake of creating alone. The strong creative artificial intelligence can be possible only if the artificial intelligence is given autono-my, the freedom to manage that autonomy, and learns to manage its freedom.
192.	Historia – tożsamość – kultura. 100-lecie salezjańskiej Parafii Świętego Józefa w Przemyślu
Authors: Gocko Jerzy , Trojanowska Marta
Published: December 2023

The book is the second jubilee monograph devoted to the presence of Salesians in Przemyśl. The first one, published in 2007, was related to the centenary of the arrival of the Salesians of Don Bosco in Przemyśl. The immediate occasion for publishing this monograph is another hundred-year jubilee, this time of the Salesian parish ministry. A hundred years ago, on November 18, 1923, the then-bishop of Przemyśl, Józef Sebastian Pelczar, consecrated a new temple of Saint Joseph and established an independent branch office there, which his successor, Bishop Anatol Nowak, permanently canonically erected as an independent parish on November 6, 1927, and, with the consent of the Holy See, handed it over to the Salesian congregation. The publication is the culmination of a series of scientific and cultural events related to the jubilee. It consists of two parts. The first, entitled In the Footsteps of the Past..., is a scientific journey through time aimed at reconstructing and recalling the genesis, protagonists, socio-economic context, and witnesses in the form of unique documents preserved in the Salesian Central Archives in Rome from the beginnings of the Salesian presence and pastoral ministry in Przemyśl. The second part of the book, Salesian Identity, Culture and Art, contains innovative research on the church and parish of St. Saint Joseph in Przemyśl as an important cultural center.
Sytuacja społeczno-gospodarcza miasta Przemyśla w ostatnim dziesięcioleciu XIX wieku i na początku XX wieku
Authors: Dalecki Maciej
Published: December 2023

The turn of the 19th and 20th centuries witnessed a dynamic development of Przemyśl. The city became an important railway and road junction. Also, as a seat of civil, military, and church administration offices, it was a regional administrative center with a wider impact than that of a “powiat”. There were several state and private secondary schools with quite many students from distant towns. The construction of fortifications and infrastructure of the Prze¬myśl Fortress as well as the fact that a large military garrison was stationed there translated into the growth of the city. Also, they contributed to building industrial plants and craft workshops (construction industry) and developing the sector of hotel and gastronomy services in the city and its immediate vicinity. The total number of the inhabitants of Przemyśl together with the military garrison increased from 35,209 in 1890 to 54,078 in 1910. The population consisted of three major national groups: Poles, Jews, and Ukrainians. Half of the population lived off industry and crafts as well as trade, services, and finance. Also, the inhabitants made their living from working in communication and public services as well as freelancing. The construction industry thrived. Apart from many residential buildings, several public buildings were erected: schools, boarding houses, headquarters for financial institutions, hotels, care and medical facilities, and cultural centers. Several religious buildings were also put up. The communication infrastructure and municipal facilities were expanded and significantly modernized. There were mostly small industrial plants in the city. The production operation of numerous craft workshops was of significant importance. Trade and services were also important areas of the economy. Przemyśl was the seat of many financial institutions: banks, credit cooperatives, and savings banks.

This study concerns the documentation regarding Salesian activities in Przemyśl, which is in the possession of the “Salesian Central Archive” of the Salesian Congregation in Rome. This is a matter of documentation that is almost exclusively original, in which lies its historical value and cultural significance. The creators of the Przemyśl archive represent the highest ecclesiastical offices of the time: the Holy See (Vatican), the Bishop of Przemyśl of the Latin rite, the central government of the Salesian congregation and the Provinces, and the authorities of the Salesian mission in Przemyśl. The resources include legal writings, questionnaires (collection of statistical data), chronicles, accounts of events, occasional writings, newspaper cuttings, and photographs. Different types of documents are found because of the way they were produced. The predominant language is Italian. The themes of the resources relate to the legal basis of the institution, the parish, statistical information regarding the various apostolic, educational, and educational work, messages of a chronicle nature, the closure of the organist school, the reaction of the Italian local newspaper, and occasional events. The resources also include a modest photographic collection. In Polish academic literature on the work of the Salesians of Przemyśl, the Roman archival collection has not been considered. This documentation can probably clarify some issues, make statistical data more precise, and provide a deeper insight into the links between the center of the congregation and its local structures.
Odkrycie, konserwacja i rekonstrukcja zabytkowej polichromii Mario Ceradiniego w kościele salezjanów pw. św. Józefa w Przemyślu

The aim of the article is to discuss comprehensive research, design, and conservation works in the interior of the neo-Gothic Salesian church in Przemyśl. The original polychromes of the 1920s, which constituted a coherent whole with the architectural structure, were partly painted over and to a great degree removed in the 1960s and replaced with a new decoration. In 2006, fragments of the original polychromes were discovered, which made it possible to reveal and reconstruct motives in the missing parts of the original polychrome. The article shows the course of work performed from the technical and technological perspectives. Also, it discusses this work in the broader context of conservation tendencies in historic buildings at the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries (including tendencies characteristic of a given time and the preservation of the old fragments of the site as witnesses).

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a highly prevalent condition in older men, often associated with both lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and reduced quality of sexual life. During the past three decades, researchers have focused on improving new operative techniques to reduce complications of traditional surgery for BPH, such as urethral stricture, stress urinary incontinence. Surgeons have increased interest in investigating the relationship between surgical treatment and postoperative sexual dysfunction such as erectile and ejaculatory dysfunction, as the demand to minimise adverse events has become a concern for more patients.  In view of the above, this paper aims to systematise information on the quality of sexual life of patients after surgical treatment of BPH. This work has shown that this problem remains topical to nowadays. It is noteworthy that only a limited number of well-designed, randomised studies exist on this issue. This is mainly due to the unavailability of a uniform methodology for assessing sexual function in surgically treated BPH-patients.

Introduction. Laparoscopic simple prostatectomy is the method of choice for surgical treatment of large-volume benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). However, the existing limitations of standard approaches are the reason for the development of new modifications.

Objective. To evaluate the efficacy and safety of a modified laparoscopic simple prostatectomy (LSP), supplemented by temporary internal iliac arteries (IIA) clamping and vesicourethral anastomosis (VUA).

Materials & methods. This multicenter open study included 195 patients (mean age 68.1 ± 6.4 years) who underwent LSP combined with temporary IIA clamping and VUA. The primary efficacy criterias during one follow-up year were the severity of urinary symptoms (IPSS), quality of life, maximum flow rate and post-void residual volume. All complications that developed during the 12-month postoperative follow-up period were registered. Statistical calculations were performed using IBM SPSS 23.2 software.

Results. The average surgery time was 91.5 ± 23.2 minutes. Complications of Clavien-Dindo I, II, III grades were noted in 1.0%, 1.0% and 3.6% of patients, respectively; no complications of group IV developed. The mean bed-days were 5.2 ± 1.5 days, the decrease in hemoglobin was 0.6 ± 1.1 g/dL. No patient needed to use an irrigation system. Based on the results of 12 months postoperative follow-up, positive dynamics was established for average IPSS score (p = 0.003), QoL (p = 0.035), maximum urine flow rate (p = 0.012), residual urine volume (p = 0.004). The maximum urine flow rate one year after surgery reached 24.6 ± 2.8 ml/s, the post-void residual urine volume was 15.1 ± 11.9 ml, the average IPSS score was 9.1 ± 1.5, and the QoL score – 1.0 ± 0.7. During the 12-month follow-up period, a low amount of long-term complications was noted in 4 (2.1%) cases: 3 (1.6%) patients had stress urinary incontinence, 1 (0.5%) patient had bladder neck contracture.

Conclusion. Modified LSP combined with temporary IIA clamping and VUA is associated with favorable efficacy and safety profile of the intervention in patients with large-volume BPH.
