Leibniz’ Series and the Problem of Dynamics in the Quantization of Gravity

Serie Leibniza i problem dynamiki w kwantowaniu grawitacji

Author(s): Marek Woszczek / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 2 (74)/2011

Keywords: time; Leibniz; block universe; quantization of gravity; general covariance

The problem of time appears in the fundamental physics in a context of some attempts to formulate the quantized model of general relativity and it shows the inadequacy of many metaphysical assumptions underlying the principles of classical physics. The author uses the Leibnizian ontological model in order to demonstrate that the conceptual core of this problem could be basically identified in the context of tension between the principle of completeness of the world histories, and the reality of dynamics. He describes shortly modern cosmological model of the growing causets in order to show the similar construction in the area of theoretical physics and the necessity of generalizing the notion of „dynamics”. The author puts the thesis that the ontology of quantum block-universe not only doesn’t exclude some dynamics, but it might also assume it on the fundamental level of description of the nature while preserving the physical general covariance and giving up the external, absolute time.

unter Mitarbeit von Alex Leljtschuk, Sergej Makarovund Leonid Schalit; Im Museum von Auschwitz gibt es viele Brillen. Durch diese Brillen sahen die Leute zum letzten Mal deutlich, was geschah. Dann verschwand alles. Was mit den Leuten passierte, nachdem man ihnen die Brille abgenommen hatte, gehört nicht zu der Geschichte, die ich erzählen will. Und dennoch setze ich in Gedanken Peter Kien ein dünnbügeliges Gestell auf, passe Otto Brod eine mächtige Hornbrille an, Walter Freud eine ovale Fassung ... Belesene Leute, die letzten Vertreter der Epoche der Aufklärung, müssen nicht unbedingt eine Brille tragen. Der jüdische Brillenträger mit Buch ist wohl eher ein Klischeebild, so stellte sich mein in Berditschev geborener Großvater die gebildeten Juden vor. Wie dem auch sei, ich schreibe diesen Artikel, ohne auch nur einen Moment das Lager für optische Geräte im Museum von Auschwitz zu vergessen...

Psychological Adjustment of Parents of Children with Chronic Disease

Psihološka prilagodba roditelja na dijete s kroničnom bolesti

Author(s): Tamara Martinac Dorčić,Marta Ljubešić / Language(s): Croatian / Issue: 104/2009

Keywords: cerebral palsy; parental adjustment; risk factors; resistance factors

The aim of this study was to explore differences between mothers and fathers of healthy children and mothers and fathers of children with cerebral palsy, with respect specifically to factors relevant to the risk and resistance model of adjustment to chronic disorders (Wallander and Varni, 1998). The study participants involved two samples. The clinical group comprised parents of 77 preschool and school age children with cerebral palsy (59 married couples and 18 single parents). Parents of 108 healthy children comprised the control group (90 married couples and 18 single parents). All parents completed a range of questionnaires intended to measure relevant risk and resistance factors and various aspects of parental adjustment. The results showed that mothers of children with cerebral palsy experienced more intensive parental stress (risk factor), have more pronounced neuroticism, perceive lower quality of their marriage and less family cohesion and adaptability, have a less available social network, show greater need for social support, and use more avoidant coping strategies (resistance factors) in comparison with mothers of healthy children. Mothers of children with cerebral palsy have more pronounced psychical symptoms in comparison with mothers of healthy children (adjustment). Fathers of children with cerebral palsy experience more intensive parental stress (risk factor), have less pronounced extraversion and greater need for social support (resistance factors), and have more pronounced psychical symptoms (adjustment) than fathers of healthy children.

The Case Paksas v. Lithuania or an Attempt to Overcome a Ruling of the Constitutional Court

Byla Paksas prieš Lietuvą arba mėginimas įveikti Konstitucinio Teismo nutarimą

Author(s): Vytautas Sinkevičius / Language(s): Lithuanian / Issue: 1/2012

Keywords: the Constitution; the Constitutional Court; the constitutional doctrine; the relation between the Constitution and the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms

On 6 April 2004, the Seimas removed R. Paksas from the office of the President of the Republic under procedure for impeachment proceedings for gross violation of the Constitution. In its ruling of 25 May 2004, the Constitutional Court held that “the removal of the President of the Republic from office, as well as of any other person indicated in Article 74 of the Constitution, who has breached the oath and grossly violated the Constitution, according to the procedure for impeachment proceedings, is not an end in itself” and that “the purpose of the constitutional institute of impeachment is <…> much broader: its purpose is to prevent the persons who have grossly violated the Constitution and breached the oath from holding the office provided for in the Constitution, the beginning of which, according to the Constitution, is linked with taking the oath specified in the Constitution”. Thus, the Constitutional Court held that, under the Constitution, a person, who grossly violated the Constitution, beached the oath, committed a crime by which also grossly violated the Constitution and breached the oath, and, due to this, was removed from office according to the procedure for impeachment proceedings, may never stand in elections of the President of the Republic or a Member of the Seimas, may never hold the office of a justice of the Constitutional Court, a justice of the Supreme Court, a judge of the Court of Appeal, a judge at other court, a member of the Government, or the State Controller, since the beginning of holding such an office is linked with taking the oath set forth in the Constitution. On 27 September 2004, R. Paksas applied to the European Court of Human Rights (hereinafter also referred to as the ECHR), asserting that Lithuania had violated his right to stand in elections of the President of the Republic or a Member of the Seimas. On 6 January 2011, the ECHR delivered a judgment in which it held that the prohibition for R. Paksas to stand in election to the parliament for any time in the future was disproportionate and that by establishing the said prohibition Lithuania had violated Article 3 of Protocol No. 1 of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms. Lawyers have presented completely different opinions on how to implement this judgment of the ECHR: some of them maintain that there is no need to change the Constitution and that what needs to be done is only changing the Law on Elections to the Seimas and establishing a certain period therein, and, after this period is over, the person removed from office under procedure for impeachment proceedings would be able to stand in elections to the Seimas again, or not establishing any period in the law and not limiting the right of the person to stand in elections to the Seimas; other lawyers hold an opposite view: they assert that it is necessary to amend the Constitution, and as long as it is not amended, it is not allowed t

Semi-Presidential System and Rationalised Parliamentarism: French and German Cases

Polupredsjednički sustav i racionalizirani parlamentarizam: primjeri Francuske i Njemačke

Author(s): Tomislav M. Bonić / Language(s): Croatian / Issue: 03/2006

Keywords: rationalised parliamentarism; semi-presidential system; constitutional engineering; France; Germany

Proceeding from the institutional approach to research, the article analyses the cases of institutional arrangements of Germany and France, which are prototypic categories of the system of rationalised parliamentarism and the semi-presidential system. Different definitions of both systems are also examined, as well as their interpretations and critiques. In both countries, new government systems have been generated through constitutional engineering. In 1958, France formed a prototypic constitution of the semipresidential system with a bicephalous executive branch of government. In particular, attention is drawn to problems of a possible conflict between the prime minister and president within the French bicephalous executive government. In 1949, a system of rationalised parliamentarism with an indirectly elected head of state was established in Germany. The aim of both systems was the adaptation of institutions to the new social, economic and political circumstances, but while in Germany the government system has remained within the matrix of parliamentarism (as rationalised parliamentarism), in France a new category of government system has emerged – the semi-presidential system.

Responsibility of the Individual and of the Organization

Odpowiedzialność jednostki i organizacji

Author(s): Wanda Pilch / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 04/2007

Organization has always accompanied human beings in their social life. The goal for which people unite into various forms of organization defines its nature, e.g.: from tribal to political (Hobbes’ state), social (Tönnies’ Gemeinschaft and Gesellschaft) or institutional-beaurocratic (Weber’s beaurocracy). The role and place of humans in the organization have changed over time, just as personal responsibility within the organization, up to the present situation when individual responsibility (moral responsibility) is ‘‘concealed’’ behind a façade of regulations, procedures and formal decrees. What is needed today is not merely transparency of the law and its principles, but perhaps above all a transparency of human interests and motives. Although positive and codified law of the organization: rational, predictable and open, replaces the old natural ‘‘laws and powers’’ (called ‘‘divine’’ or ‘‘magical’’ by some), this does not allow or justify an obliteration of individual and moral responsibility. The article deals with human propensities to ‘‘cope with’’ responsibility or its dispersion, even evasion. The author takes up the problems of legitimation, institutionalization and formal procedures, all of which are troublesome issues for scientific-cognitive discourse, involving a controversy over what counts as part of institution and what as organization. Attention is drawn to a crucial though often overlooked distinction between stability and repeatability of social behaviour (social institutions) on the one hand, and stability of social structure (social organizations) on the other. Such reflection deliberately exceeds the bounds of sociology, as it also uses the critical-normative framework of philosophy, and this ultimately justifies its final normative and social postulates.

Prawno-polityczny spór wokół wyboru sędziego Sądu Najwyższego USA po śmierci Antonina Scalii

Author(s): Paweł Laidler / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 3/2016

Keywords: U.S. Supreme Court; constitutional review; appointment of Justices; checks and balances system; politicization of courts; judicial activism

The article aims at analyzing legal and political sources, as well as consequences of the currentconfl ict between President Barack Obama and Republican Senators over the vacancy in the SupremeCourt after the death of Associate Justice Antonin Scalia. The Republican Party fears thatthe nomination made by Democratic president will shift the Court to the left, which, consideringactive judicial review by the Court, will have a crucial meaning for social, political and economicrelations in the country. The article defi nes legal and political relations between the executiveand legislative departments in the context of Supreme Court appointments, leading to fi ndings concerningpossible solution to the confl ict and facing the problem of politicization of constitutionalcourts.

Novelties of Judicial Administrative Procedure in the Context of Earlier Case Law

Administracinės teisenos naujovės teismų praktikos kontekste

Author(s): Johanas Baltrimas / Language(s): Lithuanian / Issue: 93 (1)/2017

In 2016 statutory law on judicial administrative procedure was significantly amended. This inevitably leads to question whether case law, which was laid out in light of earlier statutory law, is going to be followed or can be ignored. The paper deals with this issue, particularly focusing on questions when it is mandatory, permitted or illegal to follow this previous case-law. Many different aspects of regulation were amended and, since different aspects of judicial procedure are closely inter-connected, in order for new statutory law to take root in a sophisticated manner, applicability of previous case law ought to based on well-defined criteria. Accordingly, the article is focused on the aim to provide such criteria. The analysis is based on theoretical insights from legal literature and jurisprudence, laid out by the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Lithuania and Supreme Administrative Court of Lithuania. They led to conclusion that answers to aforementioned questions can strongly vary. the basic principle is that case law is followed where the same statutory norm is applicable. However, when we meet a new statutory norm, case-law can serve as a source about the content of values, principles recognised by law. Also some of new statutory norms carry resemblance to norms from statutes, concerning other issues or different types of judicial procedure (for example, civil procedure). When there are no material differences of context, it is useful to follow case law of these norms. Also, in Supreme Administrative Court‘s of Lithuania earlier judicial practice, some principles can be found, which are enforced by the new legislation – it might be possible, that new statutory law was created by codification of these principles from case law. therefore, application of these norms can be carried out with regard to this case law, where the same principle was applied before it was directly prescribed by statutory law. The paper also presents specifics aspects and cases, illustrating how these criteria can function in practice.

The Principle of Reason according to Leibniz: The Origins, Main Assumptions and Forms

The Principle of Reason according to Leibniz: The Origins, Main Assumptions and Forms

Author(s): Bogusław Paź / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2017

Keywords: the principle of reason; reason (ratio); sufficiency; determination; rendering

The subject of this article is Leibnizian interpretation of the principle of reason. Although the German philosopher called it principium grande of his philosophy, we do not find its systematic exposition in Leibniz’s works. The main aim of my paper is to present a short exposition of the principle. The article consists of three parts: in the first I present systematic exposition of the principle of reason with particular emphasis on explication of terms “principle” and “reason,” in the second, I show the origins of the principle, finally, in the third part, I discuss in detail three forms of it: the principle of sufficient reason, the principle of determining reason and the principle of rendering reason. I accept two main theses: firstly, a proper interpretation of this principle requires taking into account the whole context of Leibnizian philosophy, i.e. one cannot limit oneself (as it is usually happens among researchers) to only one discipline, e.g. logic. Secondly, the ultimate methodological and heuristical foundation of the principle of reason is Leibnizian metaphysics, especially natural theology.

In the face of the numerous turbulence on the global financial markets the need for a moreprofound look at the phenomenon of volatility transfer between different markets increases becauseas a consequence of this phenomenon the increase in volatility in one market may lead to the appearanceof an increased volatility on another. In the case of these relationships spatial displacement canalso be observed, consisting in reactions of the market in one country on the changes taking placein other markets in other countries. In this approach, the analysis is carried out on the assumption thatthe markets are located in a metric space, where the relationship between the variables describingthese markets are the functions of the physical or more likely economic distance between them. Theaim of this article is to determine whether, in the context of the phenomenon of the price volatilitytransfer between different assets classes, a certain spatial relationships between them could be disclosured.Subsequently, in case of occurrence of supposed dependences, an attempt to identify thepossible spatial relationships between the market in one country and markets located in the neighboringcountries was made. To identify the spatial relationships dynamic spatial panel models wereintroduced. The research includes the markets of equities, bonds and foreign exchange markets representingselected countries in Europe and Asia in the period of 2000–2015. // W obliczu licznych turbulencji na globalnym rynku finansowym wzrasta potrzeba głębszegoprzyjrzenia się zjawisku przenoszenia zmienności, gdyż w jego konsekwencji wzrost zmiennościna jednym rynku może prowadzić do pojawienia się podwyższonej zmienności na innym.

The feeling "Hungarus" and the Bibliotheca Corviniana

Le sentiment « Hungarus » et la Bibliotheca Corviniana

Author(s): István Monok / Language(s): French / Issue: 1/2010

Keywords: history; Hungary; Transylvania; library history; National Library of Hungary; intellectual movements in Hungary; the history of art; historiography; history of the churches;

In the second half of the 15th century, the Hungarian royal court became a cultural center that enabled the functioning not only of institutions to welcome intellectual currents from outside, but also of creative workshops. These workshops were well known in Europe. During the reign (1458-1490) of King Mátyás Hunyadi (Mathias Corvinus), the Bibliotheca Corviniana, founded in the royal court of Buda, became one of the largest European libraries of the time. This library later became the most frequently cited symbol of Hungarian civilization and, from the 19th century, a solid element of Hungarian identity. We confess, willingly, that in shaping the new face of the national library, we wish to highlight the spiritual links that unite the Bibliotheca Corviniana to the Bibliotheca Regnicolaris founded by Count Ferenc Széchényi (1802).

SOCIOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF HEALTH AND SICKNESS

SOCIOLOŠKI ASPEKTI ZDRAVLJA I BOLESTI

Author(s): Mirko Štifanić / Language(s): Croatian / Issue: 51-52/2001

Keywords: Health and Sickness; Croatian medical sociologists;

There is no idea of sickness and health which would be the same for all people. Different ways of understanding sickness and health are directly connected with conditions and relationships in a society, and with the type of behaviour of a group or an individual. Sociological researches of sickness and health deal with social factors which can cause, and have a bad influence on the course and result of various diseases. The aim of observing social conditions is to discover conditions of human life which could improve health and prevent a disease. A typical problem for sociological research is the influence of life-style, sex, age, race, economic and socio-cultural status on health and sickness. The basic aim of such research is to make the results accessible to people, regardless of their social status.

The foundation of a child’s mental structure as a prevention of personality disorders – school and family contexts

Podbudowa konstrukcji psychicznej dziecka w aspekcie emocjonalnym i społecznym jako profilaktyka zaburzeń osobowości – konteksty szkolne i rodzinne

Author(s): Magdalena Skorobogata / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 11/2018

Keywords: personality disorders; children develop; early childhood education; preventing; upbringing

The article is about developing children’s mental functions during their early childhood educationin the context of preventing potential personality disorders in adult life. The children’s difficultiesand unsolved crises from childhood affect the quality of their adult life. The focus of the text is onbuilding awareness of personality patterns, which are based on childhood experiences and the kindof relationships which a child develops, their influence on a personality and disorders. The article concentrates on problematic aspects of child development in the context of building their personality. From the text the conclusion emerges that parents and teachers have a strong impact on social, emotional and moral development. Children build interpersonal competence and learn howto build connections with other people in relation to them and how it forms a child’s personality.

DEPOSIT INSURANCE SYSTEMS OF POST-SOVIET COUNTRIES: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS

DEPOSIT INSURANCE SYSTEMS OF POST-SOVIET COUNTRIES: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS

Author(s): Andreas Horsch,Larysa Sysoyeva,Sergii Bogma / Language(s): English / Issue: 4/2018

Keywords: post-Soviet countries; deposit insurance; banking systems; European integration;

The article provides a comprehensive analysis of deposit insurance systems in the post-Soviet countries as of December 2017. The article brings up to date the earlier databases of Demirgüç-Kunt and various co-authors, covering 15 post-Soviet countries exclusively. The analysis shows that post-Soviet countries are on their way developing deposit insurance systems that can effectively protect clients and help establish a stable financial system. Altogether, the most crucial factor which does not allow post-Soviet countries to fully accept the EU deposit insurance regulations is the divergent course of economic development. The findings are further illustrated along the particular case of Ukraine.

Socrates’ Psyche and the Concept of Self-Consciousness

Sokratovsko psyche i pojam samosvijesti

Author(s): Zoran Arsović / Language(s): Serbian / Issue: 5-6/2006

Keywords: self-consciousness; soul; concern; freedom; individuality;

In the middle of the twentieth century, especially in K. Oelher’s papers, a different treatment of the concept of self-consciousness was announced; this treatment, contrary to the dominant concepts, obliged to the interminent view of this issue from the ancient times till nowadays. In this sense Socrates’ standpoint: ‘The man is his soul’ gets its remarkable status, which is the theme to be scrutinized in this paper.

FEMINIST CRITICAL DISCOURSE OF LEADERSHIP WITH EMPHASIS ON TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADERSHIP THEORY

ФЕМИНИСТИЧКА КРИТИКА ДИСКУРСА ЛИДЕРСТВА СА ПОСЕБНИМ ОСВРТОМ НА ТЕОРИЈУ ТРАНСФОРМАЦИОНОГ ЛИДЕРСТВА

Author(s): Marijana Mišić Andrić,Slobodanka Markov / Language(s): Serbian / Issue: 3/2012

Keywords: feminism; gender; leadership theory; transformational leadership;

In the past few decades women are more and more reaching leadership positions traditionally reserved for men. Women reaching leadership positions, even the highest, together with development of transformational leadership theory led to an increased scientific interest in relationship between gender and transformational leadership theory. Unlike dominant leadership theories, feminist theories in the past decades have offered new theoretical and research concepts that can improve our understanding of gender in the study of leadership and organizations. In this paper we have tried to research how different feminist theories, developed from the three waves of feminism, link with scientific studies of gender and transformational leadership.

Does the Name Matter? Central Europe and Central‑Eastern Europe in Different Variations and Configurations

Does the Name Matter? Central Europe and Central‑Eastern Europe in Different Variations and Configurations

Author(s): Radosław Zenderowski,Dušan Janák / Language(s): English / Issue: 57/2018

Keywords: Central Europe; Central‑Eastern Europe; Central and Eastern Europe; Poland; Czech Republic

This article points at differences and similarities in ways of defining Central Europe and Central‑Eastern Europe found in Polish and Czech academic discourse. The aim of the article is, firstly, to identify these differences and similarities, and secondly, to indicate the probable reasons for their existence. In order to accomplish both goals, the authors analyze selected narratives of Czech and Polish historiography and the terms present in both kinds of discourse under analysis. The analysis is based on a selection of texts considered relevant and influential. The time span covered in the article is the period from the First World War to the present times, with particular emphasis on the period from the 1970s onwards. In spatial terms, the article focuses on influential Polish and Czech authors working either in their home countries or abroad, as émigrés. The object of study is discourse understood as a communication activity in which meanings are continuously constructed. The article takes into consideration the following issues: (1) the popularity of the notions of “Central Europe” and “Central‑Eastern Europe” in both discourses; (2) the evaluation of these concepts – namely the attribution of some positive and negative features to them; (3) the presentation of the topoi of Central Europe and Central‑Eastern Europe in Polish and Czech discourses (the views concerning their spatial extent and borders); (4) political operationalization of these concepts in the form of integration (geopolitical) projects.

Prediction of Factors of Job Performance Success, Using the Example of the 14th Basic Officer Training Course

TEENISTUSSOORITUSE EDUKUST ENNUSTAVAD TEGURID KAITSEVÄE ÜHENDATUD ÕPPEASUTUSTE 14. PÕHIKURSUSE NÄITEL

Author(s): Ivo Silbaum,Kersti Kõiv / Language(s): Estonian / Issue: 1/2016

The aim of this study is to propose a uniform basis for the appraisal of job performance of cadets based on the analysis of five factors that infl uence job performance. This is an empirical study. The data was gathered from the 14th BOTC (2010 – 2015), and then analysed using various statistical analysis methods (factor analysis, regression, correlation and average comparison). Based on the result of the analysis it was found that the weighted average grade had a success rate of 12.2% in predicting future job performance, but could not predict the consolidated results. It also became evident that of the five factors, the best predictor of successful future job performance was the assessment of leadership qualities by fellow students. The study focused more on the construct of the task performance than it did on the contextual performance. Finally, it was found that the results of the general physical test were most closely connected to motivation. However, due to the fact that it is impossible to use the results of the general physical test to predict the success of future job performance or any of its constructs in a statistically relevant way, a proposal was made to exclude the results of the general physical test from the assessment criteria, or rather to use it as a form of non-differentiated assessment. Furthermore, it was discovered that the degree of participation in extra-curricular activities is solely connected to task performance, and had a predictive success rate of 11%. The results of the analysis proved that the results from the “discipline” category are closely connected to task performance and loosely connected to the success of future job performance as well as to the motivation construct. By itself the discipline result had a predictive rate of 16.1% for successful future job performance. In addition, the regression analysis of the collected results of the five factors, and the success of future job performance showed that when compiling a ranking to appraise a cadet’s job performance, the general proposal should only be comprised of an assessment of leadership qualities by fellow cadets. When taken separately this is the best predictor of a platoon leader’s job performance success and when combined with the collected results of all constructs it becomes diluted within the other factors and does not form a model. Counterarguments were also found, and approximate relative importance of the factors was calculated by weighing. In the event that the leadership assessment of students of the ENDC would remain unchanged, a proposal was made to use a ranking method to determine relative importance when compiling an appraisal of cadet job performance success. For the final result, the leadership assessment would form 57%, the discipline factor 28%, the weighted average grade 8%, and the activeness of participating in extra-curricular activities 7%.
