Author(s): Mikuláš Jančura / Language(s): Slovak Issue: 2/2014

The tradition of motor sport in Slovakia is not rooted so deeply as in the Czech lands, or west European states, where it was developed since the turn of 19th and 20th century. This expensive and marginal activity at the beginning started to grow through the organized motoring associations, which were based in Slovakia during the 1920s and 1930s. In Slovakia didn’t exist stable speedway in this period and the races were organized on public roads, what required the cooperation of the districts’ structures and security forces. This kind of races were more attractive and it made them accessible to a wider circle of audience. From the slowly beginnings in the first half of the 1920s a solid base of sports motoring has been formed, subsequently extended its activities range from small club trips to events such as: Competition reliability,„Star-driving“, Speed races or Competition of elegance. This positive trend, however, was temporarily dampened by the impact of the global economic crisis, which also closed the pioneering stage of development of motor sport in Slovakia. This paper aims to capture the character of a relatively dynamic growth of modern sport activity in its pioneering stage in Slovakia.

Author(s): / Language(s): English

The book deals with the expansion and institutionalization of intellectual property norms in the twentieth century, with a European focus. Its thirteen chapters revolve around the transfer, adaptation and the ambivalence of legal transplants in the interface between national and international projects, trends and contexts.

Author(s): Catalin-Silviu Sararu / Language(s): English

The European Administrative Space can be understood broadly as a space of European public administration and may be the subject of administrative science, a multidisciplinary science, in its concerns entered the classical concept of Staatswissenschaften elements: public law, political science and public economies. European structure can be analyzed from the perspective of these areas that are studied in different proportions also in the national university curricula. In a narrow sense we can speak of administrative law governing this European space. The notion of European administrative space can be thought modeled on European economic and social space, being connected with the legal system-wide cooperation. Traditionally, a common administrative space is possible when a set of legal principles, rules and regulations are respected uniformly in a territory covered by a national constitution. Thus we can speak of each sovereign state administrative law. The issue a law on public administration which fits all sovereign states that joined the EU was debated intensely since the establishment of the European Community.

Nowe instytucje procesowe w postępowaniu administracyjnym w świetle nowelizacji Kodeksu postępowania administracyjnego z dnia 7 kwietnia 2017 roku

Author(s): / Language(s): Polish

“The Code of Administrative Procedure constitutes at the same time a certain “guide post” for the administrative actions taken against the citizens and a guarantee of the rights of an individual within the sphere of administrative law. The Amendment to the Code of Administrative Procedure, resulting from the Act of April 7th, 2017 on the amendment of the Act of the Code of Administrative Procedure and related acts, aims at expediting and simplifying the administrative proceedings, as well as settling the manner and rules of imposing administrative penalties. The following publication discusses the particulars of the amendment, presenting the changes in regulations resulting from the amendment. The monograph comprises of four parts. The authors of the first part focus on the issues concerning the rules of the administrative procedure which have not been hitherto expressed expressis verbis in the regulations while being actively used by the public administration authorities. The second part presents the new procedural institutions regulated by the Code of Administrative Procedure, such as: the reminder, mediation, cooperation procedure hearing, silent handling of the case or summary procedure. The third part concerns the changes in the appeal procedure. The discussed issues include: the two-tier principle, the evidentiary proceedings conducted by a second-instance body, the cassation decisions; moreover, the chapter discusses several new institutions, i.e. the institution of the waiver of the right to appeal and the objection to the cassation decision.The fourth part discusses the topic of administrative penalties and European administrative cooperation. It should be noted that, despite the broad scope of the amendment of the administrative procedure regulated by the Code of Administrative Procedure, it is not a comprehensive amendment, resulting in further debates on the shape of this normative act, resulting from the Note no. 1499 of the Sejm of the 8th term with regard to the discontinuation of suspended administrative proceedings (added in Article 105 § 3 of the Code of Administrative Procedure). The following monograph, then, aims at presenting the status of the selected procedural institutions in the amended Code of Administrative Procedure. The opinions and theses put forward in this study express the attitudes of their respective authors.” (Preface)

IMPROVING WOMEN’S EMPOWERMENT THROUGH EVOLUTION IN KENYA: THE CASE OF NAIROBI AND KAKAMEGA COUNTIES

Author(s): Sylvester Ngome Chisika,Chunho Yeom / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2023

This study aimed to investigate the progress of women's empowerment through employment opportunities in Nairobi and Kakamega Counties in Kenya between 2013 and 2017. Despite the increasing policies that aim to mainstream social equity and equality, there is still a significant gap between policy commitments and practices. The study evaluated whether the implementation of devolved governance in the two counties has improved women's empowerment. The study's framework included an in-depth review of policy documents, official records, and reports from official websites to understand women's economic empowerment status in Nairobi and Kakamega. The study analyzed qualitative and quantitative data from County Integrated Development Plans and other secondary sources. Specifically, it examined compliance with the 30% gender rule, requiring women to hold at least 30% of all elective and appointive positions. The study found that Nairobi commands the largest share of formal sector wage employment in Kenya, and women's access to employment opportunities remains slightly lower than men in both counties. Despite implementing the 30% gender rule, the study revealed the need for more comprehensive policies that promote gender equality and women's economic empowerment in both Nairobi and Kakamega.

Hell and Individual Punishment Scenes in an in the Church of the Transfiguration of the Saviour at Gardenitsa, Mani (Greece). With Special Attention to a Depiction of the ‘Time of Man’.

Author(s): Panayotis Katsafados / Language(s): English Issue: 8/2024

L’une des plus curieuses représentations du cycle du Jugement dernier de la péninsule de Mani (La-conie) peut être admirée dans le narthex de l’église de la Transfiguration, dans le village de Gardenitsa. Les représentations des pécheurs ont été initialement attribuées à un artiste du xviiie siècle, mais des travaux de restauration récents ont remis en question l’ancienne datation en faveur du xve siècle. L’Auteur montre, grâce à une analyse paléographique, que les caractéristiques des lettres et un certain nombre de particularités stylistiques peuvent être attribuées à un peintre local, Nomikos, dont l’oeuvre comprend d’autres églises peintes dans la région au début du xive siècle : l’église Saint-Georges à Marasse / Kitta, l’église Saint-Nicolas à Nymphi et le catholicon du monastère de Phaneromeni. Les peintures et les inscriptions de Gardenitsa pourraient être datées d’environ 1326/1327 et elles seraient, peut-être, parmi les dernières créations du peintre Nomikos. Contrairement aux châtiments individuels de pécheurs tels qu’on les connaît dans les peintures crétoises, chypriotes ou même serbes, le cycle peint sur la voûte ouest de l’église de Gardenitsa présente quelques traits qui le particularisent. Dans les huit cadres, regroupés en deux groupes de quatre sur les côtés nord et sud de la voûte, l’accent est sou-vent mis sur le clergé et les personnes qui lui sont liées (les femmes des prêtres, par exemple). Il n’y a pas de péchés de nature agricole ou familiale, et l’une des scènes représente un personnage mystérieux, ac-compagné d’une inscription qui se réfère au ‘Temps de l’homme’. C’est d’ailleurs la seule représentation d’un pé-cheur à Gardenitsa qui ne trouve pas de terme de comparaison dans les cycles de pécheurs d’autres régions du Commonwealth byzantin. L'auteur identifie un certain nombre de modèles qui semblent avoir fusionné pour créer une représentation entièrement nouvelle. Le premier est certainement la parabole du mauvais riche et de Lazare, dont la place est souvent parmi les scènes accompagnant le Jugement dernier, sauf que le riche représenté à Gardenitsa ne conserve que certaines caractéristiques iconographiques de la scène attendue. Une autre image qui semble avoir été utilisée dans la scène de Gardenitsa peut être celle de l’homme poursuivi par une licorne dans une parabole de l’histoire de Barlaam et Josaphat. L’arbre sur lequel s’appuie le riche de Gardenitsa et les deux chiens noir et blanc (au lieu des souris), symbolisant le jour et la nuit, sont des éléments qui semblent avoir été repris de cet autre modèle. Le troisième modèle pourrait être une série d’images que l’on retrouve dans des psautiers occidentaux. Après un inventaire succinct d’autres représentations occidentalisantes retrouvées dans la péninsule de Mani ou dans le reste du Péloponnèse, l’auteur conclut que les modèles fusionnés par l’artiste de Gardenitsa proviennent de manuscrits. Il pourrait s’agir des mêmes manuscrits que le donateur (aujourd’hui anonyme) semble offrir au Christ dans la scène votive. On suppose que ce fondateur est peut-être à l’origine des innovations iconographiques en question.

Woodcut Illustrations to the Gospel Text in Early Printed Cyrillic Liturgical Tetraevangelia. Part 1: Lviv editions.

Author(s): Jerzy Ostapczuk / Language(s): English Issue: 8/2024

Le présent article se concentre sur les cycles d'images narratives de l'Évangile, présents dans les premiers Tétraévangiles liturgiques imprimés en cyrillique et publiés à Lviv. Les sept éditions des Évangiles publiées par l'imprimerie de la Confrérie de Lviv, ainsi que celle publiée par Mykhailo Slozka, comportent de nombreuses illustrations narratives placées en lien direct avec les versets qui décrivent les scènes représentées. Une étude approfondie de ces cycles évangéliques d'images narratives, ainsi que les changements que les illustrations ont subis dans chaque édition, nous permettent de classer les modèles de représentation en trois groupes, et de diviser les huit Tétraévangiles de Lviv en deux groupes. Deux annexes présentent toutes les images narratives gravées sur bois dans les éditions des Évangiles de Lviv. Le premier appendice contient des représentations d'événements évangéliques dans les Tétraévangiles de Lviv, tandis que le deuxième appendice présente les illustrations narratives de l'édition de Mykhailo Slozka.

Le portrait dans les anciens livres roumains imprimés.

Author(s): Policarp Chițulescu / Language(s): French Issue: 8/2024

The painted, engraved, or sculpted portrait is an attempt to immortalize a person and preserve their memory. Often, portraits served both didactic and aesthetic purposes, particularly in religious texts. In Orthodox books, portraits typically depicted saints rather than individuals contemporary with the time of the book's publication. It is exceedingly rare for an Orthodox book to include the portrait of a person who was alive at the time of publication or who had passed away relatively close to that date. While the practice of including portraits of individuals associated with a book was common in the West, it is a notable exception in the history of Romanian engraving and printing tradition. In this study, we have sought to identify the individuals and volumes printed in the Romanian Lands up to the nineteenth century in which such portraits appeared. We have also examined the motivations behind the inclusion of these portraits, whether engraved in wood or brass. This research was inspired by the portraits of Elder Paisios of Neamţ († 1794), printed in books by his disciples. We will analyze these representations of the great hesychast and then explore several other portraits we have identified in Romanian books thus far.

The Manufactory of Old French Psalters. Part 2. The Genetic Stratigraphy of Douce MS 320 (Continuation) and Its Links with the Maidstone and Orne Fragments.

Author(s): Vladimir Agrigoroaei,Chapel Alessia,Lendinara Patrizia,Delattre Corentin / Language(s): English Issue: 8/2024

Le présent article s’inscrit dans la continuité de celui qui a été publié en 2023 dans la même revue (The Manufactory of Old French Psalters: Part 1…). Ce deuxième volet comprend d’abord une section de addenda qui complètent certaines parties du précèdent article. S’ajoutent ensuite les érasures dans diverses formes verbales, suivies par un recensement des corrections liées aux préfixes ex– et es–. D’autres séries d’érasures concernent différentes parties du discours: articles définis; pronoms personnels; pronoms réflexifs; formes possessives; démonstratifs; avec une étude de cas sur les choix de traduction du génitif eius, dont plusieurs documentent l’existence d’un antigraphe. Il s’agit souvent d’une hésitation entre les formes faibles et fortes. Des sections com-plémentaires sont consacrées aux érasures des pronoms relatifs et de la conjonction que; à l’adjectif pronominal toz / tuit; aux prépositions; à la conjonction é; aux signes de ponctuation; et aux particules négatives. L’ana-lyse des érasures du manuscrit d’Oxford, Bibliothèque bodléienne, Douce 320 se termine par un examen détaillé des corrections liées à différents phénomènes lexicaux. L’article porte ensuite sur les rapports entre le manuscrit Douce et les fragments de Maidstone, dont la transcription a été publiée dans le premier volet. Suivent une transcrip-tion des fragments de l’Orne (Paris, Archives Nationales, dossier AB xix 1734) et une étude sur l’origine de ces derniers et sur leurs liens avec le texte de Douce. Les choix de traduction pour le latin numquid documentent les liens entre Douce, Arundel (Londres, Bibliothèque britannique, Arundel 230) et Orne. Les choix de traduction du latin exaltare permettent en partie de restituer le texte latin de la source de Douce. Les différentes stratégies de traduction d’Orne, de Douce et d’Arundel semblent être des réécritures d’antigraphes similaires. Toutes ces ana-lyses montrent que Douce, Arundel, Orne et Maidstone proviennent de deux ou plusieurs gloses vernaculaires apparentées. L’article propose ensuite une perspective globale sur les approches vernaculaires de la traduction des psaumes en Angleterre jusqu’au xiiie siècle, qui documente l’interaction des langues vernaculaires anglaises et françaises avec les textes (et l’exégèse) latins. Il se termine par une discussion (appuyée sur deux exemples du xiie siècle) concernant le double pliage du Douce, lié sans doute à sa circulation et à son emploi dans la réalisation des psautiers bilingues à deux colonnes. Le troisième volet du présent article est prévu pour 2025. Il comprendra la transcription du texte de Douce (avec l’accentuation originale et l’emplacement des érasures), ainsi que plusieurs études complémentaires.
