Comparative Study of Top Cloud Providers on basis of Service Availability and Cost
Authors: - Abdul Rashid Patel , - Rashmi Vibhav Tiwari , - Rukhsar Afreen Khureshi
Published: December 2022

The term "cloud computing" refers to a place where we can store our important data and use pay-as-you-go computing and networking services without a physical environment. Today's cloud computing provides us with robust computing and storage, high availability and security, rapid accessibility and adaption, ensured scalability and interoperability, and cost and time efficiency. Users in a cloud environment assume that there are endless resources accessible, and they only pay for the resources they really utilize. The number of cloud service providers is growing quickly and they are adding new capabilities as technology advances. However, a cloud consumer may find it challenging to identify the best service provider for their needs. Three cloud service providers—Amazon Web Services, Google and Microsoft Azure—are explored in this study, and a comparison of these cloud service providers is provided. On the basis of service availability, price, pricing structure, data security, operating system, Windows support, free trial, and geographies, the cloud service providers were compared.

Authors: Castro-Alonso Vicente , Chao-Fernández Rocío
Published: December 2022

El docente de Música en secundaria asume un itinerario formativo que privilegia el desarrollo de capacidades técnico-musicales sobre lo didáctico-pedagógico. Este estudio analiza la percepción del profesorado en Galicia en lo que respecta en su capacitación para la creación musical, respecto al resto de competencias musicales, transversales y pedagógicas. Mediante un estudio exploratorio a través de cuestionario, se concluye que la creación es concebida como uno de los aspectos menos prioritarios, así como uno de los menos movilizados en la práctica. Ello posibilita el diseño de nuevas líneas investigativas y formativas en el ámbito de la formación del profesorado.

Enceladus, an icy moon of Saturn, possesses an internal water ocean and jets expelling ocean material into space. Cassini investigations indicated that the subsurface ocean could be a habitable environment having a complex interaction with the rocky core. Further investigation of the composition of the plume formed by the jets is necessary to fully understand the ocean, its potential habitability, and what it tells us about Enceladus’s origin. Moonraker has been proposed as an ESA M-class mission designed to orbit Saturn and perform multiple flybys of Enceladus, focusing on traversals of the plume. The proposed Moonraker mission consists of an ESA-provided platform with strong heritage from JUICE and Mars Sample Return and carrying a suite of instruments dedicated to plume and surface analysis. The nominal Moonraker mission has a duration of ∼13.5 yr. It includes a 23-flyby segment with 189 days allocated for the science phase and can be expanded with additional segments if resources allow. The mission concept consists of investigating (i) the habitability conditions of present-day Enceladus and its internal ocean, (ii) the mechanisms at play for the communication between the internal ocean and the surface of the South Polar Terrain, and (iii) the formation conditions of the moon. Moonraker, thanks to state-of-the-art instruments representing a significant improvement over Cassini's payload, would quantify the abundance of key species in the plume, isotopic ratios, and the physical parameters of the plume and the surface. Such a mission would pave the way for a possible future landed mission.

Introduction: Bacteria almost exclusively cause caries and other oral and dental diseases. This study evaluated the inhibitory effect of the alcoholic extract of Citrullus colocynthis on bacteria and fungi common in oral bacteria diseases. Method and materials: The ethanol extract and essential oil of Citrullus colocynthis were obtained via water distillation. After conducting phytochemical tests, including determination of total phenolic and flavonoid compounds of the extracts, GC-MASS test and microbial tests of the extracts were conducted on S. mutans, E. coli, S. salivarius, L. acidophilus, C. albicans, and S. aureus. The cytotoxicity test was assessed by MTT assay. Results: MIC and MBC values for S. mutans, S. salivalius, and L. acidophilus were 1.56 mg/ml and 3.12 mg/ml, respectively. Moreover, Citrullus colocynthis also has an inhibitory effect on bacteria and C. albicans at these concentrations, according to the DAD test. The survival rate of cells at concentrations of 5 mg/ml and 10 mg/ml was less than 50%, and at concentrations of 2.5 mg/ml and 1.25 mg/ml was less than 70% after 24 hours and 48 hours. Conclusion: According to the cytotoxicity results of this plant at concentrations of 1.56 mg/ml and 3.125 mg/ml, the ethanolic extract of C. colocynthis has inhibitory and lethal effects against pathogenic bacteria and fungi.
The Effectiveness of Progressive Muscle Relaxation Therapy and Guided Imagery Techniques for Reducing Blood Pressure in Hypertension Patients
Authors: Hafid Muh Anwar
Published: December 2022

BACKGROUND: Hypertension is abnormally high blood pressure. The number of hypertensive people continues to increase every year. It is estimated that in 2025 there will be 1.5 billion people affected by hypertension, and 10.44 million people die each year due to hypertension and its complications.

AIM: To determine the effectiveness of progressive muscle relaxation therapy and guided imagination techniques in reducing blood pressure in patients with hypertension.

METHODS: This study used a quasi-experimental methodology with a two-group pretest and posttest design, as well as a large sample of 36 respondents divided into two groups: progressive muscle relaxation therapy and guided imagining approaches. Every day for 6 days, each group received 15 min of treatment. Blood pressure was measured before and after each treatment.

RESULTS: The results of the study using the Friedman, Wilcoxon, Kruskal-Wallis, and Mann-Whitney tests showed that systolic and diastolic blood pressure decreased in progressive muscle relaxation therapy by 9.89 mmHg and 7.73 mmHg (p = 0.000 α < 0.05) and technique guided imagination by 4.2 mmHg and 3.2 mmHg (p = 0.000 α < 0.05).

CONCLUSION: The progressive muscle relaxation therapy was more effective than the guided imagination technique in reducing blood pressure in patients with hypertension. As a nurse, it is hoped that they can apply therapies such as progressive muscle relaxation therapy and guided imagination techniques as an alternative to nonpharmacological therapy in handling hypertension clients.
Expressivité, exclamation et ponctuation
Authors: Bikialo Stéphane , Rault Julien
Published: December 2022

L’article appréhende l’expressivité à travers une forme de réalisation archétypale : l’exclamation et son représentant graphique, le point d’exclamation. La description de la présence énonciatrice et de l’effet sur le récepteur, ainsi que le rapport entre croissance ou décroissance verbale dans les formes exclamatives, permettent d’interroger l’expressivité en termes d’historicité mais aussi de distinguer expressivité et impressivité et, enfin, d’examiner la dimension non verbale autour de la question de l’inscription du corps dans l’écrit. À partir de ces rappels et analyses, l’article s’interroge – de manière plus théorique – sur les rapports entre subjectivité, expressivité/impressivité et modalité. Pour ce faire, les auteurs prennent appui sur ce qui a été décrit comme un style non expressif, neutre (« l’écriture plate » de Ernaux, décrite dans une formule très ballyenne comme une manière de rester ancrée dans « la langue de tous »).
Transosseous Repair With Nice Knot Augmentation Versus Knotless Suture Anchor Repair With Suture Tape for Quadriceps Tendon Rupture: A Cadaveric Study
Authors: Duell Bryan , Long Mitchell K. , Divella Michael , Fogel Joshua , Ruotolo Charles
Published: December 2022

Quadriceps tendon rupture is typically repaired using either transosseous tunnels or suture anchors. Recent literature has suggested that suture anchor repair is biomechanically superior to the use of transosseous tunnels. Augmentation of the transosseous technique with Nice knots may result in improved biomechanical properties as compared with a suture anchor construct. To compare biomechanical properties of a novel transosseous quadriceps tendon repair technique with Nice knot augmentation to those of knotless suture anchor repair, an artificial quadriceps tendon rupture was created in 10 matched pairs of cadaveric knees (n=20). Each cadaver was subjected to biomechanical testing to calculate the average ultimate load to failure, repair site gapping after early and late cyclic loading, and stiffness. Transosseous repair augmented with Nice knots as compared with knotless suture anchor repair had greater load to failure (mean±SD, 1489.5±297.6 N vs 717.7±191.4 N,
P
<.001), decreased gapping after early and late cyclic loading (cycles 1–20: mean±SD, 0.59±0.4 mm vs 2.1±1.2 mm,
P
=.008; cycles 21–250: mean±SD, 1.2±0.7 mm vs 3.9±1.7 mm,
P
=.002), and greater construct stiffness (mean±SD, 80.7±15.7 N/mm vs 44.4±13.4 N/mm,
P
=.001). The transosseous quadriceps tendon repair technique with Nice knot augmentation is biomechanically better than knotless suture anchor repair with regard to ultimate load to failure, gap formation after cyclic loading, and construct stiffness in cadaveric specimens. [

Éducation et construction des rapports sociaux de sexe : la spécificité du littéraire comme outil critique à travers l’exemple de Jamaica Kincaid
Authors: Maximin Colette
Published: December 2022

Dans plusieurs de ses œuvres, Jamaica Kincaid a mis en lumière la façon dont l’école et la famille s’emploient à transformer en jeunes filles sages et respectables des adolescentes qui ne correspondent pas, au départ, à l’idéal féminin. Ses œuvres ont fait ressortir le rôle central qui revient à la mère dans cette entreprise et son éclairage critique illustre à merveille les potentialités propres à la littérature dans ce domaine.
La « bonne mesure » de l’expression de la féminité et de la masculinité au sein de l’institution scolaire en Martinique(2015-2016)
Authors: Tondellier Michel
Published: December 2022

Cet article est consacré à une forme peu étudiée des rapports de pouvoir qui s’observent au sein des communautés éducatives : le contrôle des élèves par la régulation de leurs tenues vestimentaires. Les traces écrites de ces rapports de pouvoir définissent parfois avec moult précisions les tenues vestimentaires à respecter dans l’enceinte des établissements scolaires. Nous établirons que les interdits nous renseignent sur les stéréotypes de genre qui animent les communautés éducatives permettant de distinguer les « bons » des « mauvais » élèves en encourageant l’adhésion à des formes de masculinité et de féminité très mesurées. Cette réalité sociale posée, nous tâcherons dans un deuxième temps, d’une part de clarifier les mécanismes d’exclusion des élèves non conformes et, d’autre part, d’éclairer les éléments concourant à l’ancrage socio-historique de ces formes de masculinités et féminités désirables, complices, subordonnées ou marginalisées. Quels facteurs à la fois historiques, économiques, sociaux et culturels favorisent cette structure sociale genrée propre aux régions françaises des Antilles ?
L’éducation coloniale au prisme de l’intersectionnalité(Antilles françaises, 1795-1830)
Authors: Fayolle Caroline
Published: December 2022

Les écoles instaurées dans les colonies antillaises françaises durant les périodes révolutionnaire et postrévolutionnaire ont été peu étudiées par l’historiographie. Cette contribution se propose de les mettre en lumière et de les analyser par le prisme du concept d’intersectionnalité. Elle s’organise autour de deux axes. Le premier axe est centré sur la question de la mixité (raciale et sexuelle) dans les écoles coloniales instaurées par le Directoire suite à la première abolition de l’esclavage. Le second axe s’intéresse à la reconstruction du système scolaire après 1802, année du rétablissement de l’esclavage. Dans un contexte où des savants au service du pouvoir remettent en cause la capacité des hommes noirs et des femmes à être perfectionnés par l’instruction, l’étude de ces écoles éclaire l’imbrication des rapports de domination de sexe, de race et de classe au sein des sociétés coloniales antillaises.
Student Selection of Preceptors for Immersive Clinical Education Experiences Through an Advocacy Lens
Authors: Edler Nye Jessica R. , Viesselman Christopher P. , Eberman Lindsey E. , Winkelmann Zachary K.
Published: December 2022

Context

Immersive clinical education is an integral component of athletic training curricula. The flexibility in the requirements allows programs to be innovative in their curricular design and to meet the needs of their learners.

Objective

The purpose of this educational technique is to describe the process for empowering students to choose preceptors and clinical sites that meet their needs.

Background

Traditionally, program administrators assign students to preceptors and clinical sites based on proximity and availability of clinicians surrounding the institution. However, this may limit the options for students to find preceptors and mentors who are best suited to prepare them for future clinical practice.

Description

In our program, we empower students to pursue their immersive clinical education experience with a preceptor and/or clinical site that will meet their personal and professional needs as a learner and future clinician.

Advantages

Preceptors and alumni have noted increased engagement when students are invested in the selection process. Students are encouraged to advocate for their needs personally and professionally, to place themselves in the best environment for their future success. More specifically, historically marginalized students have the opportunity to identify a preceptor with similar demographic characteristics, who may be better suited to mentor them as a future professional, when geographic proximity has been a challenge in the past.

Conclusions

Students and program administrators partner to select preceptors who provide opportunities for a successful immersive clinical experience, who align with the student's future career goals, and who provide mentorship. Historically marginalized students in less diverse regions may benefit the most from this model because they can overcome geographic proximity challenges to identifying effective preceptors and mentors.
Graft and patient survival in kidney transplantation: A single-center experience
Authors: Chen Chang-Hsu , Kuo Yuan-Chuan , Wu Tsai-Kun , Chen Hung-Ping , Tseng Tien-Yu , Pai Mei-An , Chien Shiaw-Wen , Lim Paik-Seong
Published: December 2022

Background:

Patients with end-stage renal disease need renal replacement therapy, including hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, and kidney transplant (KT), to live a relatively normal life. Compared with other dialysis modalities, KT remains the choice for better survival.

Objectives:

This study aimed to report the KT outcomes at our center and investigate risk factors for graft and patient survival.

Methods:

This is a retrospective chart review of 72 KT recipients cared for at our center between July 1, 2004, and June 30, 2017. Delayed graft function (DGF) was defined as the need for dialysis within 1 week after KT. The primary outcome is death after KT. The secondary outcome is graft failure, which is defined as a return to dialysis while the patient is alive. Patient death with functional graft was censored during the survival analysis.

Results:

Among the patients, 17 KT recipients had primary diabetic nephropathy (23.6%) with a mean age of 47.4 ± 11.8 years. Furthermore, 13 patients returned to dialysis and 12 died during the study period, with malignancy being the leading cause of death (n = 4). The 1-, 3-, and 5-year graft survival rates were 94.3%, 90.4%, and 85.4%, respectively. The 1, 3-, and 5-year patient survival rates were 97.1%, 92.1%, and 85.7%, respectively. A total of 24 patients (33%) encountered DGF after KT. Patients with DGF had significantly poorer graft survival than those without DGF (P = 0.002 by log-rank test). Cox-proportional hazard analysis revealed that only DGF increased the risk of graft failure (hazard ratio (HR) = 6.52, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.4629.2), and age predicted patient survival (HR = 1.09, 95% CI: 1.021.17).

Conclusion:

This study showed that patients with DGF had significantly poor graft survival. Patient’s age was the only prognostic factor for patient survival in our cohort.
Handgrip strength as a predictor of mobility in patients with end-stage renal disease on hemodialysis
Authors: Liu Wen-Chih , Chiu Li-Shu , Lim Paik Seong
Published: December 2022

Background:

The Timed Up and Go (TUG) test is commonly used to assess motor function and gait stability in the elderly, including patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Furthermore, the handgrip strength test is used to evaluate general muscle strength and may help identify weakness, a key element of frailty.

Objectives:

This study aimed to determine whether the handgrip strength test is a suitable screening tool before the TUG test because it requires less physical effort and likelihood of adverse events associated with falling during testing.

Methods:

A total of 120 patients with CKD on hemodialysis participated in the study. The associations or correlations among handgrip strength, TUG test, and routine nutritional biomarkers were analyzed.

Results:

A significant correlation was observed between handgrip strength and TUG test in all patients (R= −0.39,P= 1*10-5), even in patients with diabetic kidney disease (n= 56,R= −0.36,P= 0.0065). Interestingly, when dividing the patients into two groups according to hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels (<7% vs. ≥7%), no significant differences in handgrip strength or completion time of the TUG test were observed between both groups.

Conclusion:

In patients on hemodialysis with decreased mobility, measuring grip strength can be a reliable marker as an initial screening to determine whether patients can exert the necessary physical effort to perform the TUG test. Furthermore, a HbA1c <7% did not provide additional benefits in terms of muscle strength and mobility to patients with diabetes on hemodialysis.
Maternal and Perinatal Outcomes of Abruptio Placenta at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital
Authors: Oluwole Ayodeji A. , Ugwu Aloy O. , Akinajo Opeyemi R.
Published: December 2022

Background:

Abruptio placentae is a form of antepartum hemorrhage that occurs when there is a partial or complete separation of the placenta before the delivery of the fetus. In addition to vaginal bleeding, it is often associated with abdominal pain, uterine tenderness, fetal heart irregularity, and hypertonic uterine contraction. It is a significant cause of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. It is therefore important to review this obstetrics emergency with a view to creating more awareness on its complications.

Objectives:

The study was aimed to determine the prevalence as well as the perinatal and maternal outcomes of abruption placentae at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH), Nigeria.

Materials and Methods:

This was a retrospective review of records of pregnant women managed in the labor and postnatal wards of LUTH, Idi-Araba, Nigeria, over a 5-year period from January 2015 to December 2019. Relevant data retrieved were entered and analyzed using the IBM Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS Statistics), version 23.

Results:

A total of 80 pregnancies were complicated with abruptio placentae giving a prevalence of 0.96% of all admissions during the study period. Several maternal complications recorded included acute renal failure (6.25%), disseminated intravascular coagulation (2.08%), postpartum anemia (37.5%), and postpartum hemorrhage (54.7%). Forty six percent (46%) of the neonates had no complication, 11.3% had early neonatal death, 20% had fresh stillbirth, and 22.5% had birth asphyxia.

Conclusion:

Abruptio placentae contributed a sizeable proportion to maternal morbidity and perinatal morbidity and mortality in the study population.
Measles Serostatus in Mothers and Their Newborns in Antioquia, Colombia: Implications for Measles Elimination
Authors: Santacruz-Sanmartin Eduardo , Hincapié-Palacio Doracelly , Ochoa-Acosta Jesús E. , Buitrago-Giraldo Seti , Ospina Marta C.
Published: December 2022

To describe the serostatus of measles IgG antibodies in pregnant women and newborns, placental transfer, and factors that determine being below the threshold of 150 mIU/mL, a cross-sectional study was conducted. Blood samples of 790 pregnant women at the time of delivery and 734 umbilical cord samples were analyzed from eight hospitals in the Aburrá Valley of Antioquia, Colombia. Measles IgG antibody measurement was performed with ELISA. The proportion of individuals with antibodies < 150 mIU/mL was 13.9% (95% CI: 12.2–15.8) in pregnant women and 11.1% (95% CI: 9.2–13.4) in newborns. The geometric mean of the antibody level of the pregnant women was 552 mIU/mL (95% CI: 504–605) and in the umbilical cord 662 mIU/mL (95% CI: 604–727). A positive correlation between pregnant woman and umbilical cord antibodies was found. The median ratio of measles IgG antibodies in umbilical cord/pregnant woman was 1.22 for all participants. A seroprevalence below the threshold of 150 mIU/mL was found in newborns whose mothers were born between 1983 and 1994, compared with those born before that period, when exposure to the wildtype virus was common (adjusted prevalence ratio: 3.6, 95% CI: 1.3–9.6). These findings suggest that there are gaps in measles immunity among women of childbearing age, before pregnancy. To close this immune gap and support efforts to maintain measles control, serological screening for measles antibodies should be routinely included in reproductive health and antenatal care programs to identify women without immunity who should be vaccinated before pregnancy or after delivery.
A Multi-year Seasonal Study of Amoeboid Protists in Surface Water at the Margin of a Hudson River Estuary Salt Marsh
Authors: Anderson O. Roger
Published: December 2022

Marshes bordering rivers and estuaries are productive ecosystems that interact dynamically with the adjacent water mass. This is a multi-year study (2019–2022) of seasonal changes in the density of naked amoebae in monthly samples from the surface water of the Hudson estuary near Piermont, N. Y. with relationships to key environmental variables (surface water temperature, salinity, Secchi depth representing turbidity, and enterococcus bacterial counts). During the colder months (November to March), when decayed leaves and litter from the deciduous marsh grass produced organic matter in the sediment surface, the mean abundance of active amoebae ± standard error of the mean (SEM) was higher (3.07 ± 0.99 × 10⁴/ L, N = 7). In warmer months (May to September) the abundance of amoebae was lower (1.35 ± 0.29 × 10⁴ / L, N = 10). A multivariate linear regression analysis was performed relating amoeba abundance to four major water mass variables, resulting in the following statistically significant equation (p = 0.03): AD = 0.121 × T + 0.301 × L – 0.047 × S + 0.359 × C, where: AD = active amoebae density (× 10 /L), T = temperature ( C), L = tide level (m), S = Secchi disc depth (cm) and C = bacterial enterococcus concentration (number/ml). In general, given the increasing evidence of the potential importance of amoeboid protists in aquatic ecosystems, further research is warranted on their role in food webs and the carbon biogeochemical cycle within heterotrophic estuarine and coastal waters.

Protection of classified information in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia. Selected criminal and administrative regulations

The article discusses administrative regulations relating to the organization of the system for the protection of classified information in the Republic of Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as presents the criminal laws on crimes against the protection of classified information in force in these countries, along with an interpretation of these laws. The article also presents selected administrative regulations governing the procedure for carrying out security clearances for the issuance of a security clearance allowing access to classified information. In addition, the rationale for classifying information and assigning it a specific classification is discussed. On the basis of an analysis of the provisions in force in Bosnia and Herzegovina (Article 164 § 9 of the Criminal Code) and a comparison with those in force in Poland, among other things, a conclusion was drawn that Polish legislation does not include a countertype that would relieve from criminal liability depositaries of secrets who transfer classified information (without obtaining the consent of the authorities specified by law) in order to prosecute the perpetrators of crimes. The above can be the basis of a legislative de lege ferenda request. The article does not exhaust the topic covered, but merely indicates selected issues of the system of protection of classified information. The exploration that has been initiated may be used to conduct in-depth studies of the issue at hand in the future.

Scenariusze komunikacji z Obcym na podstawie wybranych dzieł Stanisława Lema
Authors: Potocka-Woźniak Aleksandra
Published: December 2022

W twórczości Stanisława Lema często podejmowanym tematem jest komunikacja międzyplanetarna. W zależności od przyjętej konwencji autor na różnorodne sposoby pokazuje Obcego. Celem artykułu jest omówienie trzech scenariuszy komunikacji na podstawie opowiadania Podrożosma z Dziennikow gwiazdowych oraz powieści Eden i Solaris. Punktem wyjścia porównania jest schemat Romana Jakobsona. Istotnym elementem publikacji są uwagi związane z zabiegami semantycznymi, które stosuje Lem (m.in. nacechowanie słownictwa, neologizmy), gdyż wpływają one na wydźwięk filozoficzny jego utworów. Na podstawie przeprowadzonego porównania widoczne jest, że ziemscy bohaterowie Lema dążą do dialogu z Obcym, jednak nie osiągają z nim pełnego porozumienia w żadnym z omawianych utworów. Komunikacja z Obcym ukazuje przede wszystkim człowieka, zdejmując go z piedestału.

Scenarios of Communication with the Alien on the Basis of Stanisław Lem’s Selected Works

A topic often addressed in Stanisław Lem’s oeuvre is the interplanetary communication. Depending on the adapted convention, the author depicts the Alien in various ways. The goal of the article is to discuss three scenarios of communication based on the story The Eighth Voyage from the The Star Diaries as well as the novels Eden and Solaris. The starting point for the comparison is the model of Roman Jakobson. Remarks on semantic strategies that are employed by Lem (such as marked vocabulary, neologisms) are a crucial element of this article because they influence the philosophical undertone of his works. Through the conducted comparison it is possible to demonstrate that the Lem’s terrestrial characters seek the dialogue with the Alien; they, however, don’t reach the full understanding in any of the discussed works. The communication with the Alien showcases first and foremost the human, who has been taken off of his pedestal.

Filozofia w edukacji wczesnoszkolnej. Fanaberia czy cenny wkład w rozwój dziecka?
Authors: Pałka Aleksandra

Philosophy in early school education. Eccentricity or valuable contribution to child’s development?

The article raises the issue of teaching philosophy in early school education. Children aged 7 to 9 are great thinkers, but they are being taught according to the educational system, which mostly demands the memorizing of material without having an individual reflection. The discussion about philosophizing at grades I–III aims to explain whether practicing that discipline is pointless, and therefore should be left out of the curriculum or valid and kept as an integral part of the growing up process improving a child’s intellectual, emotional, and social competences.

Granice i sens myśli konserwatywnej w epoce końca tradycyjnej edukacji akademickiej
Authors: Archacka Magdalena
Published: December 2022

Celem artykułu jest ukazanie granic i sensu myśli konserwatywnej w epoce końca tradycyjnej edukacji. Przybliżone zostaje znaczenie pojęcia autorytetu, który w edukacji oznacza odpowiedzialność za świat. Ukazano różnicę pomiędzy nauczaniem wyjaśniającym a kształceniem budowanym na zaufaniu do intelektualnych zdolności ucznia/studenta. Kryzys wywołany przejściem edukacji akademickiej w zdalny tryb kształcenia umożliwia, jako moment sprzyjający, stawianie podstawowego dla konserwatywnej perspektywy edukacji pytania „co jest przedmiotem zachowania (conservatio)?”. W zmieniającej się rzeczywistości nauczanie i uczenie staje się wydarzeniem mającym na celu intelektualną emancypację zachodzącą po obu stronach procesu kształcenia. Teoretyczną ramę rozważań budują filozoficzne koncepcje Hannah Arendt, Jacquesa Rancière’a w recepcji polskich pedagogów: Pauliny Sosnowskiej i Piotra Zamojskiego.

The Limits and Meaning of Conservative Thought in the Era of the End of
Traditional Academic Education

The aim of this article is to show the limits and meaning of conservative thought in the era of the end of traditional education. The meaning of the notion of authority, which in education means responsibility for the world, is presented. The difference between explanatory teaching and education built on confidence in the intellectual abilities of the pupil/student is shown. The crisis caused by the transition of academic education to a remote mode of education makes it possible, as an enabling moment, to pose the question which is fundamental for the conservative perspective on education: “What is the object of preservation (conservatio)?”. In a changing reality, teaching and learning become events aimed at intellectual emancipation occurring on both sides of the educational process. The theoretical framework of the considerations is built on philosophical concepts of Hannah Arendt and Jacques Rancière in the reception of two Polish pedagogues, Paulina Sosnowska and Piotr Zamojski.
Socjohistoryczne podejście do analiz uspołecznienia polskiej edukacji w duchu konserwatywnej myśli pedagogicznej w latach 1980-2021
Authors: Śliwerski Bogusław
Published: December 2022

Przedmiotem socjohistorycznej jest analiza genezy, ewolucji i zmarnotrawienia uspołecznienia polskiej edukacji w duchu konserwatywnej myśli pedagogicznej. Autor uwzględnia trzy zasady według Gérarda Noiriela: 1) odnajdywania przeszłości w teraźniejszości, 2) odnajdywania realnych postaci i grup zaangażowanych społecznie w zmiany oświatowe w Polsce po upadku totalitaryzmu, 3) rozpoznawania istoty i sposobu sprawowania władzy w systemie szkolnym. W duchu konserwatywnej myśli pedagogicznej autor odpowiada na pytanie, jak to się stało, że polskie elity polityczne okresu transformacji ustrojowej odrzuciły potencjał reformowania szkół w ramach organów społecznych jako wspólnot uczestniczących.

A Sociohistorical Approach to the Analysis of the Socialization of Polish Education in the Spirit of Conservative Pedagogical Thought in the Years 1980–2021

The subject of socio-historical research is the analysis of the genesis, evolution, and waste of the socialization of Polish education in the spirit of conservative pedagogical thought. The author takes into account three principles according to Gérard Noiriel: 1) finding the past in the present, 2) finding real people and groups socially involved in educational changes in Poland after the collapse of totalitarianism, 3) recognizing the essence and manner of exercising power in the school system. In the spirit of conservative pedagogical thought, the author answers the question of how it happened that the Polish political elite of the period of systemic transformation rejected the potential of reforming schools within social institutions as participating communities.
Drugie pokolenie” katechetów wobec przemian społeczno-kulturowych w Autonomii Galicyjskiej (1867-1918). Ciągłość instytucji a dynamika zmian
Authors: Chrząszcz Czesław , Godawa Grzegorz
Published: December 2022

Nauczanie religii realizowane w szkołach średnich w Autonomii Galicyjskiej (1867-1918) było realizowane przez dwa pokolenia katechetów. Pierwsze z nich spełniało swoje zadania w warunkach, które sprzyjały statycznym formom pracy. Poczynając od ostatniej dekady XIX w. doszło do nieodwracalnych zmian kulturowych i społecznych, kwestionujących aktualność stosowanych podejść i metod. Zmiany te miały bezpośredni związek z dynamicznym wzrostem liczby uczniów i rozwojem infrastruktury edukacyjnej. Na podstawie kwerendy źródeł historycznych zrekonstruowano zmianę postaw katechetów wobec młodzieży oraz wyodrębniono i scharakteryzowano „drugie pokolenie” katechetów. Nowe pokolenie księży, wchodzące w życie zawodowe na przełomie wieków, posiadało solidne wykształcenie i odwagę w podejmowaniu nowych form pracy z młodzieżą. To pokolenie wypracowało nowatorskie metody oddziaływań wychowawczych, szkolnych i pozaszkolnych, skutecznie docierając do młodzieży z przekazem niezmiennych wartości w nowy, atrakcyjny sposób. Te działania edukacyjne są przykładem konserwatyzmu pedagogicznego zakładającego, że trwanie i dynamizm są dwoma elementami tej samej rzeczywistości.

The “Second Generation” of Catechists Facing Social and Cultural Changes in the Autonomy of Galicia: Institutional Continuity and the Dynamics of Change

Religious education in secondary schools in the Autonomy of Galicia (1867–1918) was provided by two generations of catechists. The first of them performed their duties in the environment conducive to the static forms of work. In the last decade of the 19th century, irreversible cultural and social changes started to take place. The relevance of attitudes and methods adopted at that time was questioned. These changes were directly related to the dynamic growth in the number of students and the development of the educational infrastructure. The change in the catechists’ attitudes was reconstructed. It was based on the analysis of historical sources, which made it possible to determine and characterise the “second generation” of catechists. The new generation of priests who started to work at the turn of the century were well-educated and had the courage to undertake the new forms of work with the youth. This generation developed innovative methods of both school and out-of-school educational influences and succeeded in reaching the youth with the message about permanent values in a new, attractive way. Such educational activities are an example of pedagogical conservatism which assumes that permanence and dynamism are two elements of the same reality.
Filozofia praktyczna w dorobku Sebastiana Petrycego jako jeden z filarów renesansowej koncepcji pedagogiczno-filozoficznej
Authors: Michalkiewicz-Gorol Agnieszka
Published: December 2022

Szkic stanowi próbę przywołania dorobku Sebastiana Petrycego z Pilzna – polskiego renesansowego lekarza, poety, filozofa, a przede wszystkim tłumacza tekstów Arystotelesa na język polski i twórcy terminologii filozoficznej w języku ojczystym, w obszarze rozstrzygnięć z zakresu filozofii praktycznej, która w autonomicznej koncepcji pedagogiczno-filozoficznej, stworzonej jakby na marginesie pracy translatorskiej nad tekstami Stagiryty, ma stanowić oś reformy państwa na wielu płaszczyznach. Sebastian Petrycy skupił się na filozofii praktycznej, która miała szansę stać się wiedzą dostępną dla każdego odbiorcy Przydatków. Aretologiczny punkt widzenia wydaje się stanowić dla Sebastiana Petrycego najistotniejszą optykę zarówno filozoficzną, jak i pedagogiczną. Postrzega on etykę jako naukę o przygotowaniu do dobrego życia. Etyka ma uczyć dobrego postępowania, powstrzymywania woli od złego i wzmacniania jej dobrymi obyczajami. Wart podkreślenia jest fakt, że według autora Przydatków w pojęcie arete wpisany jest aspekt demokratyzacji życia społecznego. Każdy, jak przekonuje Sebastian Petrycy z Pilzna, dzięki dążeniu do życia w cnocie, może zasłużyć na miano człowieka szlachetnego.

Practical Philosophy in Sebastian Petrycy’s Output as One of the Pillars in the Renaissance Pedagogical-Philosophical Concept

This outline is an attempt to remember the work of Sebastian Petrycy of Pilsen – Polish Renaissance medical doctor, poet, philosopher and, first of all, a translator of Aristotle’s works to Polish, and the creator of native philosophical terminology within the field of practical philosophy, which in its autonomous pedagogical-philosophical concept, created while working on Stagirite’s works translation, constitutes an axis of the country’s reform on multiple fields. Sebastian Petrycy focussed on practical philosophy, which might have become available to every reader of Przydatki. The Arethological point of view seems to be the essential philosophical and pedagogical perspective for Sebastian Petrycy. Ethics is perceived as a science preparing for good life. Ethics is expected to teach good behaviour, abstaining from evil and supporting will with good manners. It’s worth highlighting the fact that the author of Przydatki believes the concept of arete houses the aspect of a social life’s democratization. Everybody, as Sebastian Petrycy of Pilsen claims, may earn the name of a noble man if they live virtuous lives.
