STUDENT CREATIVITY IN THE COLLEGE CAMPUS ENVIRONMENT: ITS CORRELATION WITH CREATIVE EDUCATION ENVIRONMENT AND CAMPUS SATISFACTION
Authors: NghiÃªm-PhÃº BÃ¬nh
Published: December 2022

Creativity is one of the keys to the sustainable development of colleges and their students. Focusing on this issue, this study builds up a theoretical framework which involves the antecedents and consequences of creativity in the college campus environment. Based on the existing literature, the study argues that creative campus environment can significantly influence student creativity. In addition, it proposes that student creativity can significantly affect their satisfaction with the campus. The evidence gathered from the preliminary group discussions with college students in Japan has partially approved the theoretical model. Directions for future studies and implications for college campus management are also discussed.

Authors: Alin James M. , Datu Eranza Datu Razali
Published: December 2022

This paper investigated why sea cucumber farming -Agropolitan balat (Holothuria Scabra spp.) Mapan-Mapan in Pitas, Sabah funded by taxpayersâ€™ money was not successful in term of economic returns. Between the first (2013) and third year of this project (2015) the authors visited the site more than 20 times. Primary data particularly on sales were collected by interviewing participants of the project. Details on costing for constructing sea cucumber cages (or enclosure) was provided by the joint venture company. Economic returns from each cage were calculated using Profit Loss analysis. Results are as follows; firstly, the marginal return from two inputs of farming i.e. capital and physical labor was increasing in the beginning of Round 1 but it was diminishing from February, 2014 all the way to the end of Round 1. Secondly, the expected Break Even in round 2 (Year 3) did not materialized due to; (i) incentive to work among participants was severely affected by subsidization and (ii) they were not motivated to put efforts or take any precautionary measures to minimize losses during the annual monsoon months.Â
THE PSU RUBBER AND ABACA PLANTATION PROJECTâ€™S CONTRIBUTION TO THE ECOLOGICAL ENHANCEMENT OF ITS ADJOINING BARANGAYS IN RIZAL, PALAWAN
Authors: L. Tuquero Frances Muriel , G. Pulanco Ralph
Published: December 2022

This paper highlights the rubber and abaca plantationâ€™s contribution to the ecological enhancement of its adjoining barangays in Rizal, Palawan, namely Bgy Candawaga and Bgy Calusian particularly on species richness and plant diversity of the plantation area, the buffer zones and the farm-to-market road leading to the plantation. Data were gathered using transect walk, quadrat sampling and observation method. It also verified the results of an earlier study that compared the perceived ecological condition of the adjoining communities before and after the establishment of the Project in terms of instances of soil erosion, frequency of slash-and-burn farming (swidden agriculture), cases of illegal logging, and diversity. Respondents believed that these four areas have improved with the establishment of the plantation. Study results revealed that species richness and plant diversity in the areas along the FMR were highest, followed by those in the buffer zones. The rubber plantation was understandably lowest in species richness and plant diversity. But as perceived by the indigenous people respondents, the plantation had attracted more animal that prefer trees as habitats.
THE USE OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTING IN CHINA’S MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY
Authors: Dai Mengzhuo , Noordin Raman
Published: December 2022

With the increased number of environmental problems in the global scope, the application of environmental management accounting (EMA) in enterprises had attracted constant attention all over the world. Even though EMA has become in the world a new and hot research direction, China’s application of EMA research was relatively small. With the strengthening of environmental protection work in China, the Chinese government and enterprises had tried to accept the use of EMA and gradually caught up with the pace of international environment requirements. Previous studies showed the level of adoption and implementation of EMA was still weak, especially in developing countries. A current paper showed results of a pilot research on manufacturing companies conducted in China. Although some studies questioned the extent of the use of EMA, the findings of the research suggested that the use of EMA had potential for further development in China. However, this study is a pilot study, thus the sample size was considered insufficient but a future study had been suggested to produce more accurate results and findings.

Authors: Miao Wenhao , Jaidi Junainah , Mohidin Rosle
Published: December 2022

This paper investigated the moderating effect of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) on the relationship between CEO compensation and firm performance on the Chinese capital market. This paper applied a panel data regression technique using data composition represented by SSE180 index for a period spanning from 2010 until 2019. A total of 86 representative large listed firms was employed in this paper for the period of 10 years with a total of 860 firm-year observation. The empirical results showed that both CEO compensation and CSR have a significant positive relationship with firm performance. More importantly, this paper found that the level of CSR moderates (reduces) the relationship between CEO compensation and firm performance. Therefore, the results implied that although CSR is a useful business strategy, it still has a lot of room for improvement.

Unified Modeling Language (UML) is a language for defining, visualizing, building and documenting software systems. UML proved to be very successful and has achieved tremendous popularity making it the de facto industry standard for object-oriented systems development. Thus, many researchers presented works, case studies and empirical studies on the practical use of UML but also criticisms for the complexity of UML, ambiguity, difficulty to learn, etc. Although many articles and books are devoted to various aspects of the UML language, there is little evidence of how UML is used. This study tries to see the application of the unified modeling language (UML) in building the MSME recognition system carried out by Rafa Laundry. The findings show that UML is used successfully in most software development projects and that most users perceive UML positively as it supports faster system development, development of higher quality software systems, and in certain cases, this leads to a decrease in software development costs. soft.

Let’s cloud with me! Users’ willingness to use cloud computing services as a function of social norms
Authors: Tatić Kasim , Haračić Mahir , Činjarević Merima , Haračić Merima
Published: December 2022

Purpose: The current study is theoretically grounded in the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and Social Influence Theory. It attempts to explain how acts of others influence attitudes and behaviors of individuals in the context of the adoption of cloud computing services. Methodology: The present study used the convenience sampling technique to conduct empirical research. Data collection was performed via an online survey. We used Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) to test the proposed research model. Results: Our findings suggest that a favorable social norm towards cloud computing services produces a positive and statistically significant effect on perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, and willingness to use cloud computing services. In terms of mediating the role of perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness, findings revealed that perceived ease of use mediates the relationship between social norms and willingness to use cloud computing services. Conclusion: The present study advances our understanding of the role of social influence and individual perceptions of technology (i.e., usefulness and ease of use) in the intention to use technology in the cloud computing context.
Drone last mile delivery: An assessment of the viable market and security potential of drone delivery
Authors: Grofelnik Igor , Godnov Uroš , Sternad Marjan
Published: December 2022

Purpose: the paper includes a review of the literature in the field of drones, drone technology, possible implementation in the field of the last mile concept, legislation, suitability of technology in the field of security, weather conditions, social acceptance and later focuses on checking the possible implementation of drones according to the set parameters. Methodology: for the purposes of research and obtaining answers to the posed research question and hypotheses, we used the method of literature review in the selected field, panel data analysis, conducted interviews with experts in the field of delivery drones in the Republic of Slovenia, and conducted secondary research. Results: the results show an assessment of the possible implementation of drones based on the analysis of the obtained data and interviews. We determined a realistic assessment of the potential of delivery drones, in which we included several vital aspects necessary for implementation. Conclusion: it was found that the current technology is not yet fully adequate, and significant technological improvements are also needed. It is also necessary to plan integrated urban spatial solutions that will enable safe and efficient delivery in the supply chain. Namely, delivery with drones is currently ineffective due to flight safety, harmful sound emissions and the inability to fly in bad weather conditions. Based on a literature review and a survey among large logistics companies, it was found that there are still many barriers to implementation due to legal norms and regulations, which are currently very constructive. It is unlikely, however, that parcel delivery will take off in an urban environment soon, as there are still many unknowns. With proper planning and use of suburban consolidation centres, e-vans, e-cars and bicycles are currently economically viable for last mile delivery.

Tax payments by tax subjects are a source of income for the state which will be used as a source of financing development activities. On the other hand, tax is a deduction from the company's profit so that this difference in interests triggers certain ways created by the company both legally and illegally in reducing the taxes paid. One of the ways taken by the company is tax avoidance. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of profitability, firm size and capital intensity on tax avoidance. This research was conducted on mining sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2017-2021 with a total sample of 19 companies. Sample selection was done by purposive sampling and data collection was done by documentation. The results show that partially the three independent variables have a positive effect on tax avoidance, this means that the higher profitability, firm size and capital intensity will increase tax avoidance in the companies studied

Beratan Lake tends to be changed negatively even various benefits are still there. If there is no attention and stakeholders contribution, this tourist destination will be forgotten by the future generations. Lake Beratan is one of natural resources which are really important to Bali as a water source which has a tight relationship with the religious because in each lake there are several temples in it to praise the God for the prosperity of the universe. Tourism brings the positive benefit for the local people and local government because tourism can generate the job opportunities, and also for the agricultural sector. Most the domestic tourists were interested to visit Lake Beratan for enjoy the water attraction which is offered around the lake. It is contrary with mostly the international tourists come to Lake Beratan for the natural, watch the religious ceremony at the temples in around the lake. Most respondents say that the environment of Lake Beratan extremely dirty, where there are a lot of rubbish everywhere. In addition, there are several pollutions that caused of the boating, parasailing activities and the expansion of parking area on the green belt of Lake Beratan. All stakeholders should concern immediately on the green belt of the lake, because the green belt of the lake is a part of the tourism area which should be protected to keep its sustainability. We can say that this tourism destination has the magnificent combination between nature and heritage. Thus, it could become a good place to develop sustainable development. Thanks to the tourism, it brings the valorization in the economic, social, and environment aspects. Nevertheless, in its development, all stakeholders should be involved together in each activities of tourism. And keep aware of the all effects that probably occurred by the tourism activities.

The reseach is held in The Samsara Living Museum in Jungutan Village, Bebandem Distict, Karangasem regency which displays the cycle of Balinese life starting from the fetus in the womb, born, alive, die and cremation. Unfortunately, the collection to display is very limited compared to other museums around. The research followed qualitative approach whereas data collected by observation and interview with informan. Finally, this research found out two conclusions such as (a) The name of Samsara is taken from the phase of reborn and ready to begin another cycle after previous life. Based on this principle, human is suggested to live with care and love but avoid himself to do bad things because the world imply cause-result effect; (b) Realizing the display is limited compared to museum in general, narrative skill is a way to attract more visitors to come. Since it is cultural-based museum, some visitors not knowing well the ritual on display. Here, the guide explained them carefully through suggestive-narrative where the explanation leads listeners to fell involved in the activity and added another meaning, that is cultural meaning. It is delivered slowly to convince visitors so that limited display does not a problem at all.

This community service program resulted in findings that Tangkup Village has the potential to develop a homestay by utilizing residents' houses. From the results of the observation, it can be seen that there are several residential houses that are feasible to be developed into homestays. For this reason, homestay management training will have a good impact on the development of accommodation facilities in Tangkup Village, as a form of preparing Tangkup Village as a Pilot Tourism Village.
Total Column Ozone Retrieval from Novel Array Spectroradiometer
Authors: Egli Luca , Gröbner Julian , Schill Herbert , Maillard Barras Eliane
Published: December 2022

Abstract. This study presents total column ozone (TCO) retrieval from a new system, called Koherent, developed at PMOD/WRC. The instrument is based on a small, cost effective, robust, low-maintenance and state-of-the-art technology array  spectroradiometer. It consists of a BTS-2048-UV-S-F array spectroradiometer from Gigahertz-Optik GmbH, coupled with an optical fiber to a lens-based telescope mounted on a sun tracker for measuring direct UV irradiance in the ultraviolet wavelength band between 305 nm to 345 nm. Two different algorithms are developed for retrieving TCO from these spectral measurements: 1) TCO retrieved by a minimal least squares fit algorithm (LSF) and 2) a Custom Double Ratio (CDR) technique using four specifically selected wavelengths from the spectral measurements. The double ratio technique is analogous to the retrieval algorithm applied for the Dobson and the Brewer but adopted and optimized here for TCO retrieval with Koherent. The instrument was calibrated in two different ways: a) absolute calibration of the spectra using the portable reference for ultraviolet radiation QASUME for the LSF retrieval and b) relative calibration of the extraterrestrial constant (ETC) of the CDR retrieval, by minimizing the slope between air mass and the relative differences of TCO from QASUME and Koherent. This adjustment of the ETC allows the instrument to be calibrated with standard TCO reference instruments during calibration campaigns, such as a double monochromator Brewer. A two-year comparison in Davos, Switzerland, between Koherent and the Brewer 156 (double monochromator) shows that TCO derived from Koherent and the Brewer 156 agree in average over the entire period within less than 0.7 % for all retrievals in terms of offset. The performance in terms of slant path depends on the selected retrieval and the applied corrections. The stray light corrected LSF retrieval exhibits a smaller slant path dependency than the CDR retrieval and performs almost as for a double monochromator system. The slant path dependency of the CDR is comparable to the slant path dependency of a single Brewer monochromator. The combination of both retrievals leads to performance with an offset close to zero compared to Brewer 156, a seasonal amplitude of the relative difference of 0.08 % and a slant path dependency of maximum 1.64 %, which is similar as other standard TCO instruments such as single Brewer or Dobson. Applying the double ratio technique by selecting the wavelengths and slit functions from Brewer and Dobson, respectively, allow to determine the effective ozone temperature within 3 K on daily averages. With the improved TCO retrieval, Koherent serves as a new low maintenance instrument to operationally monitor TCO at remote sites. The presented TCO retrieval may be applied to other array based spectroradiometers providing direct spectral measurements in the ultraviolet.
Impact of deoxygenation and warming on global marine species in the 21st century
Authors: Morée Anne L. , Clarke Tayler M. , Cheung William W. L. , Frölicher Thomas L.
Published: December 2022

Abstract. Ocean temperature and dissolved oxygen shape marine habitats in interplay with species’ physiological characteristics. Therefore, the observed and projected warming and deoxygenation in the 21st century of the world’s oceans may strongly affect species’ habitats. Here, we implement an extended version of the Aerobic Growth Index (AGI), which quantifies whether a viable population of a species can be sustained in a particular location. We assess the impact of projected deoxygenation and warming on the contemporary habitat of 47 representative marine species covering the epipelagic, mesopelagic/bathypelagic, and demersal realms. AGI is calculated for these species for the historical period and into the 21st century using bias-corrected environmental data from six comprehensive Earth System Models. While habitat viability decreases nearly everywhere with global warming, impact of this decrease is strongly species-dependent. Most species lose less than 5 % of their contemporary habitat volume over the 21st century even at 3 °C of global warming relative to preindustrial, although some individual species are projected to incur losses 2–3 times greater than that. We find that the contemporary spatiotemporal variability of O2 and temperature (and hence AGI) provides a quantifiable measure of a species’ vulnerability to change. Species’ vulnerability is the most important indicator for large (>5 %) potential habitat losses – not relative or absolute changes in habitat viability (i.e., AGIrel or ΔAGI), temperature or O2. Loss of contemporary habitat is for most epipelagic species driven by warming of ocean water and is therefore expanded with increased levels of global warming. In the mesopelagic/bathypelagic and demersal realms habitat loss is also affected by pO2 decrease for some species. Our analysis is constrained by the uncertainties involved in species-specific critical thresholds, which we quantify, by data limitations on 3D species distributions as well as by high uncertainty in model O2 projections in equatorial regions. Focus on these topics in future research will strengthen our confidence in assessing climate-change driven losses of contemporary habitat across the global oceans.

Reha Erdem’s third feature-length movie, What’s a Human, Anyway? (2004) deals with the problems of male characters towards gender roles. This movie also connotes that these problems occur from the views of female characters and parents. Although Erdem’s films mostly concentrates on the toxic masculinity, What’s a Human, Anyway? is the mere film in Erdem’s ouvre, that of which represents women in a negative manner. This research mainly focuses on the young male characters of movie and their attitude against gender-oriented expectations and parental pressure by analyzing it through Deleuze-Guattarian concepts, including deterritorialization, Oedipalization and particularly, becomings, including becoming-minoritarian, -woman, and -child.
Victims and Survivors in the Rape-Revenge Narrative: A Comparison of Black Christmas (2019) and I May Destroy You (2020)
Authors: Keating Michaela
Published: December 2022

The rape-revenge narrative is fertile ground to explore and contextualize the experience of sexual violence and its aftermath. While typically a trope in genre films seen through the male gaze, female filmmakers are reclaiming this narrative. Two recent entries from female filmmakers into the canon of the rape-revenge fantasy are the 2019 horror remake Black Christmas, and the 2020 HBO drama-comedy series I May Destroy You. This article will compare the ways that these two examples construct characters who experience rape, and how their personality traits and behaviors are infused with the cultural perceptions of "rape victims" or "rape survivors." This analysis will be grounded in ongoing feminist discourse around the use of the term applied to those who experience rape, and how this impacts our understanding of these characters.
The Black magic: An aesthetic analysis of its illustration in the sociohorteur film: Dachra

Throughout the history of the humanity, and not withstanding of the humankind; the black magic has always been, and is still, an ugly and frightening human folklore in many cultures, whatever would be their religions and beliefs ; and from which, they are still suffering until nowadays, due to its distinction with mysterious and suspicious practices that have been imprinted in the identity of mankind, as a point of contention that transcends different sects and races. Discussing such issue is deeply hated by most of the populations, due to the huge rate of horror and frightens it may push the interlocutors to feel: what if such an internationally suffering from problematic is treated through a motion picture? Would its receiving and comprehension be better and easier? And how would a horror movie be a film d’auteur, horror and social one at the same time? Will there be a difference in the way of receiving it by the audience? And would the fact of being predecessor and identificatory at the same time, positively influence its distribution? We will try to answer all those questions through our article that we baptise: The Black magic: an intangible cultural heritage in defiance of the human will-An aesthetic and analytical lecture of its illustration in the sociohorteur movie: Dachra made by Abdelhamid Bouchnak
The Ambivalent Object(s) of America in Wim Wenders
Authors: Shervington Laurent
Published: December 2022

This article will consider Wim Wenders’ relationship to America in several of his films during the New German Cinema Movement of the 1970s and 1980s. In particular, it will explore the place America occupies as a fantasy object, framing this through the distinct roles individual objects play in Wenders’ films. Firstly, in the initial period of his life, various accounts point to the fact that the director related to American culture as a substitute for his own country’s fascistic past. Such a viewpoint is then countered in his film Alice in the Cities (1972), where the protagonist is initially puzzled by the enigma of America, but finds he can comprehend it upon hearing of the Hollywood director John Ford’s passing from a newspaper. In The State of Things (1982), apropos Wenders’ experience working in Hollywood under Francis Ford Coppola, the relationship to objects again changes, this time from the subject’s mastery over objects, to the mastery of the object over the subject. However, an alternative position emerges through a more careful reading of the film Hammett (1982), which, exists as a short-circuit in the typical narrative of Wenders’ cinematic trajectory. Rather than emphasizing the mastery of the subject or the object, through the use of narrative, the film Hammett reveals an alternative position by implicating the two in a dialectic. Such a position takes on a refined inflection in Paris, Texas (1982), in which the subject implicates themselves in their own fantasy, repeating the radical gesture from Hammett (1982) and forging a new relationship between subject and object.
Minik Serçe as a Contrary Example Among the Singer Films in Turkish Cinema
Authors: Barlan Yasemin
Published: December 2022

This article is about the Turkish film Minik Serçe (Little Sparrow, 1978), starring Sezen Aksu, one of Turkey’s most legendary female singer-songwriters. The film belongs to the category of musical “singer films” of Turkish cinema, which were popular between the 1940s and late 1980s. It is also a remake of A Star is Born (1976). The article examines the similarities and differences between the original film and the Turkish remake and compares it with another singer film from the same era Yansın Bu Dünya (1977), which falls into the category of an Arabesk singer film. Both films have similar plotlines but very different portrayals of female characters. The focus of the article is on what makes Minik Serçe stand out from the other films of its time. In doing so, it also examines the role of its auteur director Atıf Yılmaz, and the cliches of Turkish cinema from the Yeşilçam era.

However, bank spread and unstable policies towards bank specific factors have become threat to bank survival in Nigeria. Secondary data and ex-post facto research design were used within the period of 2011-2020 for both Tier-1 and Tier-2 deposit money banks in Nigeria. The study found that interest rate spread, asset quality, management efficiency, bank size and board size affect bank survival in Nigeria. The study suggests that bank managers should give maximum attention to interest rate spread, and bank specific factor like asset quality, management efficiency, bank size and board size so as to ensure their survival.
Gleichnis (Analogy, Likeness, Parable, Simile)
Authors: Weber Christian
Published: December 2022

The concept Gleichnis—together with original phenomenon (Urphänomen) and metamorphosis (Metamorphose)—is key to Goethe’s worldview and one of his favorite terms due to its semantic polyvalence and ambivalence in German. Primarily in religious contexts, Gleichnis means “likeness” and “parable”; in rhetoric it denotes “figurative language” in general; in poetry it refers specifically to a simile; and in philosophical terms it is grounded in “analogy.” Gleichnisse feature prominently in Goethe’s poetry as well as in his scientific and philosophical writings. Since he uses this concept self-reflexively, his oeuvre amounts to a theory of Gleichnis. This entry showcases Goethe’s poetic practice of Gleichnis in prominent examples ranging from lyric, epic, and drama, and in so doing seeks to outline the basic structure of Gleichnis as a metapoetic form of reflection which aims to harmonize and transcend the disciplinary differences between theological, philosophical, and scientific discourses.
Wechselseitigkeit (Reciprocity)
Authors: Nethersole Reingard
Published: December 2022

Wechselseitigkeit (reciprocality, mutuality) refers to Goethe’s interactive understanding of human and non-human relations. In its attributive inflection wechselseitig, which can be variously rendered as reciprocal, mutual, alternate, interchangeable, or two-way, the concept mediates the inexorable polarities of life. As a vital “force of attraction” (Anziehungskraft) between contrasting phenomena, these Goethean oppositions operate within both nature and the human world, as when the narrator claims in Die Wahlverwandtschaften (1809; Elective Affinities), “[j]ede Anziehung ist wechselseitig” (WA 1.20:282; Every attraction is reciprocal). As in this novel, wechselseitig in Goethe’s theoretical writings configures assemblages of shared feelings, actions, or close relationships between two or more entities. And whether they are inter-subjective or intercultural, these reciprocal interactions typically involve an order of exchange between opposing sides (Seiten) that give of themselves in mutual enhancement or decline. Grounded in change (Wechsel) and linked to such cognate compounds as Wechselspiel (alternate play, fluctuation), Wechselwirkung (reciprocal effect, mutual influence), and Wechselblick (reciprocal gaze), the ascription also at times highlights an ethics of interaction within heterological relations of parity for the purpose of producing intensified or enhanced (gesteigerte) outcomes. Ultimately, the lexeme configures mediations of overlapping and interdependent systems that operate within science, society, and aesthetics, while also illuminating post-Kantian subject-object relations.
Stil (Style)
Authors: Ronzheimer Elisa
Published: December 2022

The lexeme Stil (style) derives from Latin stilus, which originally designated a writing utensil used in Antiquity and the Middle Ages. In modernity, it is used in a broader sense to refer to characteristic and recurrent forms of artistic production or of human behavior. In Goethe’s philosophical and aesthetic lexicon, style denotes a specific mode of aesthetic representation in which the relation between the artist and the object represented is one of “Gegenständlichkeit” (object-orientedness). This is how Goethe defines the term in his short theoretical essay “Einfache Nachahmung der Natur, Manier, Styl” (1789; Simple Imitation of Nature, Manner, Style), whose reflections grow out of a period of stylistic experimentation best exemplified by the Italienische Reise (1816/1817/1829; Italian Journey). A key component of his classicist aesthetic theory, Goethe’s concept of style is at odds with the better part of the modern discourse on style that emerged in the late eighteenth century.
Schleier (Veil)
Authors: Von Muecke Dorothea
Published: December 2022

The motif of the Schleier (veil) can be found throughout Goethe’s works, where it is often associated with images of textual production. In so doing, Goethe builds on a rich literary tradition of comparing the production of verbal works of art with the making of fabrics and the art of weaving. The following entry isolates and analyzes some representative instances of this lexeme in which the veil is used to evoke not only the traditional semantic field of textiles and their crafts as models for verbal works of art but also this lexeme’s potential in regard to epistemological and perceptual concerns. It will thereby trace the veil’s emergence as a “thing to think with” when it concerns the truth function of poetry and show how, as a conceptual metaphor, it invites reflection on the verbal work of art as an exceptional means of negotiating the position between perception and truth, the sacred and the profane, the eternal and the ephemeral, and the local and the global. In modelling this mediation in Goethe’s oeuvre, the veil lies at the intersection of poetology and epistemology. It also offers a reflection on the human subject’s position vis-à-vis the world and on the work of art’s position with regard to temporality and ever-changing historical contexts.
Einbildungskraft (Imagination)
Authors: Pulvirenti Grazia , Gambino Renata
Published: December 2022

Einbildungskraft (imagination) is a multifaceted mental faculty in Goethe’s theoretical writings and poetic works that is non-systematic and rich in aporias. At work in both cognitive processes and artistic production, it becomes a defining concept in Goethe’s creative understanding of natural and aesthetic processes. Einbildungskraft serves as a faculty that presides over nature, the human mind, and the arts as a source of interdisciplinary knowledge. As a pre-noetic power, moreover, it also manifests the poietic force of language. By creatively expanding the Kantian distinction between the productive and reproductive imagination, Goethe theorizes a third kind of Einbildungskraft at work in poetic language with an internal law (Gesetzlichkeit) that “circumspectively surveys” the inner and outer worlds. As a kind of analogical thinking, this “umsichtige Einbildungskraft” (surveying imagination) participates in cognitive processes by actively elaborating thought, affect, vision, and memory. And as an artistic power, it mirrors in metaphorical language the organic forces of nature, which share the same principles of human life: synthesis, expansion, and transformation. According to Goethe, Einbildungskraft is the faculty responsible for shaping perceptual inputs, affects, memories, and mental images into artistic and verbal forms, thereby reconfiguring all the fragmented pieces of existence into an organic system that represents reality in its ontological essence.
About the orgin and possible affiliation of the vice-commander of the Malbork Castle Claus von Winterthur (1388-1402)
Authors: Gotówko Piotr
Published: December 2022

Brother Claus von Winterthur (1325/1335-1402), who was in the late XIV.th century the vice-commander of the Malbork Castle, came from the family of urban ministerialis, who originally lived in Niederwinterthur. They were serving the Counts of Kyburg and the Counts of Habsburg. Because their living in Winterthur massively aggravated, some family members searched their luck in the neighbouring cities and some in distant Strassburg, which exactly at that time after the expulsion of the episcopal knights gladly accepted new warriors. The analysis of the surnames leaves to the conclusion that brother Claus came from Strassburg. He very likely knew about his familiar affiliations, so he could have been very loyal to the brethren Konrad and Rudolf von Kyburg. Loyalty towards them and cooperation with other brethren from Alsace-Burgundy might have helped him to obtain the dignity of the vice-commander in 1388. In this function he managed to stay much longer than his predecessors, till 1402.
Attempts to develop Lidzbark castle in the first half of the 19th century
Authors: Jodkowski Marek
Published: December 2022

W pierwszej połowie XIX wieku rządcy diecezji warmińskiej starali się przekonać władze państwowe do wydzielenia przynajmniej części zespołu zamkowego w Lidzbarku Warmińskim na nową rezydencję biskupią. Z uwagi na plany budowy nowego pałacu biskupiego we Fromborku, odstąpiono od tych zamierzeń. Zamek gotycki nie wydawał się odpowiedni pod wynajem mieszkań, czy też jako rezydencja przeznaczona na potrzeby jednej rodziny. Budynki zamkowe nie kwalifikowały się ani na więzienie, ani na seminarium nauczycielskie, czy też konwikt dla młodzieży. Nie udało się też adaptować pomieszczeń gotyckiego zamku na rzecz zakładu dla obłąkanych, czy też przenieść do niego siedzibę sądu. W 1839 r. rozebrano pałac na parchamie. Jeśli chodzi o oficynę, zachodnie skrzydło przedzamcza przeznaczono wówczas na magazyn soli. Poza jego wschodnim skrzydłem, najlepiej utrzymanym, zajmowanym przez sąd i diecezję warmińską, inne części zespołu pozostały niezagospodarowane aż do drugiej połowy XIX wieku.
